Expressions of the soul Are in a man’s inner mind; So set yourself some goal, And then, its value find.

Courtesy and Efficiency Telephone susbcribers can aid in mak¬ ing severely-taxed telephone facilities yield maximum service — • By looking up the number in the Directory. • By speaking distinctly into the mouthpiece. • By answering promptly when the bell rings. • By being as brief as pos¬ sible.

You can use it for Lighting, Cooking, Washing, Cleaning, Heating, Refrigeration, Entertainment, and in many other ways. It saves time and work, and helps to make your home comfortable and healthy. Because City Hydro introduced low-cost electricity to Winnipeg over thirty years ago, electric service in this city costs little — although it does so much.

I I THE SCHOOL COUNCIL SCHOOL COUNCIL Back Row —Jack Ferguson, Mr. Reeve, Aubrey Yarmar, Morris Loffman. Front Row —Lily Karlinsky, Mary-Betty Turner, Miss Scholes, Norm Hill, Mr. Heyes, Ruth MacDonald, Bruce Hill. The School Council meetings were held on Thursdays in the library, this year. Room 29 reported bursts of laughter issuing forth from the library on those days but we were working —really. First came the minutes which began at 12:50 with—“Council meetings will begin at 12:30 sharp.” This was followed by light footsteps squeaking up to the table and the scrape of a chair being drawn into place. (No names men¬ tioned.) Norman Hill gallantly leads the fiery discus¬ sions opened by Leo iSchicher about Courtesy Week and Auditorium periods. Norman has done a grand job as President of St. John’s. Many projects have been undertaken and most of them finished by Norman and the council members. Aubrey Yarmar, our treasurer, was the little man who wasn’t there—with the money; but Aubrey did do a lot of work on the awards. Bruce Hill, the social chairman, took charge of the dances. These, the Rugby Ball, the Holly Hop, the Snowball Tramp and the Tigers’ Prom were great successes. The unusual names were supplied by Bruce, who saved them up from dance to dance. Mary-Betty Turner was torn between two jobs—to help Bruce with the so¬ cials or to help Aubrey with the awards, and Mary-Betty succeeded in both. Lily Karlinsky said very little at the council meetings but in attending Greater Winnipeg Youth Council 1 meetings, as Red Cross Representative and as ■ chaser of delinquent students, Lily worked P harder than most. Morris Loffman began in , November the “Hunt of the Ping Pong Table.” rjj In April the table was found and the Ping Pong R Club began. Those students ' wearing the school ■ rings and pins owe thanks to Jack Ferguson 9 and Charles Waks for their hard labor (after ■ this duty was given them neither attended meet¬ ings). Lastly there is yours truly, Ruth Mc¬ Donald, secretary, about whom the less said, the better. (Ed note: On the contrary. Appar¬ ently modesty is another of Ruth’s traits which make her the most dependable and hard work¬ ing secretary any organization could hope for.) Our outstanding activities of 1946 included I the distribution of bars, the addition of the ‘J’ j pins, organization of Graduation Day and Tech’s numerous socials. We sincerely thank the students who elected us to office and who made our year of work I easier by their school spirit. May we also thank I Mr. Reeve, Mr. Ridd, Miss Scholes and Mr. Heyes for their advice and assistance in our problems during the year. Page Ninety-six
