The S.R.C. supported the Mysore Project by holding a lunch one noon hour during the winter. Wonderful support was shown. Over 600 students and teachers attended the bread luncheon and pro¬ gram that followed. We raised over $200. The Constitution was revised this year. The organization of the component parts which make up the S.R.C. has been completely changed. Amendments to the Constitution were passed, the most notable being the election of the Activities Director to the S.R.C. Executive and additions to the re¬ sponsibilities of the Vice-President of the S.R.C. Bylaws of the S.R.C. have been revised. The bylaws deal with points of policy and practice that have not been previously effective because they were out of date. It is hoped that they will be an effective guide for future Student Councils. The S.R.C. considered the possibility of instituting an Honor Roll made up of all Seniors who achieved 90% or better in the final Departmental Examinations. Plans have been drawn up which will be executed in the coming year. The Park and Tree Arbor was begun this year. Trees were ordered and will be planted in the fall. A Master Plan has been drawn up for our Park and any additions will be made according to the plan. It will be many years in the future before our school has a beautiful park-like setting, but we can take some satisfaction in being a part of the early plannings and beginnings. Some contributions to the school made by the S.R.C. this year are as follows: the purchase of an Mr. McAnsh Staff Advisor n expensive Polaroid camera, equipment for the Publications office, an indoor-outdoor jumping pit, and the sponsorship of Les Jeunes Comediens. Spending had to be watched very closely. There is now a substantial balance in the bank for use by the S.R.C. of next year. For me the year as President of the S.R.C. has been very rewarding. I would heartily recommend that service on the Student Council is a valuable part of the educational process which we are going through. PETER STEWART, President of S.R.C. Mrs. Groome Staff Advisor

PRESIDENTS REPORT The prime objective of the S.R.C. this year has been to co-ordinate well-run student activities and promote interest and total participation in extra-curricular activities among the students. The response of the students has been excellent and their support has made the work of organizing these activities worthwhile. The Student Council found itself rather short of money from the outset and it was necessary to concentrate on projects and activities that were not costly but yet were beneficial to school life. In September, a full week of initiation of the Freshies was carried out. The week included an introduction to the S.R.C. executive, a volleyball tournament, a dance, and a showcase which was at¬ tended by Seniors and Freshies. Getting the Freshies into the swing of things during the first week proved invaluable. The strong Freshie support and participation evident in student activities this year has been outstanding. Last fall a committee worked for the attainment of a Guest List at the school dances. This com¬ mittee met with a staff committee and the problem was discussed thoroughly. We were very happy to obtain a Guest List and its success was evident. The achievement of obtaining the Guest List in itself was an important step in student responsibility but the manner in which it was achieved was even more important. By intelligent and informed discussion between a student committee and the staff it is possible to deal with important issues most effectively. The fact that student and staff com¬ mittees can sit down together to discuss important matters in this way shows that a high degree of understanding has been reached.

Jack Thrasher House Leader Jllphci Jl( ouSe Report 1965-66 was a year of changes in the house system. Increasing importance has been attached to the work of members of the house executive. I consider myself very fortunate to have worked with one of the finest executives in the history of the house system. Athletic departments were headed by Phil and Penny and showed good spirit all through the year, with the possible exception of Senior Boys’ Basketball. In Football the boys managed to pull off a second place victory. In Basketball the girls did very well and in Volleyball even better. As is traditional in Sheldon-Williams, Alpha Senior Boys’Volley¬ ball team went through the season undefeated and won the championship as well. Con¬ gratulations to all teams! In Social, Alpha suffered somewhat from the new percentage system for dance attendance, being the largest house. But nevertheless Julie has done a great job and has been a big help to Sharon all year in planning dances. In Music-Drama, Alpha had another outstanding year. Our play, “The Ring Game”, won a well-deserved third place, under the able direction of Dana Dukart. Congratulations are certainly in order for Dana as she really gave us some spirit in the Music-Drama field. And who has had the only (and therefore the best) showcase to date? Alpha, of course. Thanks for all your work Dana. A special thank you as well goes to Dorothy in Publication and House Activities. Both girls helped make Alpha such a success in 1965-66. Mr. Arcand, our House Master, also deserves a vote of thanks for his work on our behalf throughout the year. In S.R.C. meetings my able Grade Reps proved themselves second to none, with Gail Redick deserving special commendation for her work on constitutional amendments. Con¬ gratulations to Bill Hart on being elected as S.R.C. Vice-President for next year. To the newly-elected house executive, again, congratulations and the best of luck in 1966-67. I would also like to thank every member of the house for your support in all areas of house competitions.
