tivitie I Q l STUDENTS' COUNCIL EXECUTIVE Gary Miller CPres.D, S. Mayorcsak fTreas.J, Dorothy Weeks fsecj, Vickie Vance CVice-Pres.J. Election-Assembly The first assembly in our new high school was held on November 15th. Former T.D. H.S.fstudents could not seem to get accus- tomed to the fact that we had so much space and we could actually go on breathing during the assembly. To avoid any serious case of sudden shock only half the gym was used until we got used to the idea. The assembly took the form of campaign speeches with the two parties NVits and Ameliorators taking the spotlight. Most honourable Gary Miller was the first speak- er. He expressed his views on the subject of president and outlined his plans. He clos- ed by saying kind words for his opposition, Herb. Augustine, He's a swell guyf' Herb, XVits candidate for President, was the next speaker, and he also outlined his plans which he would try very hard, he said, to put into effect. His proposal of a graduation banquet brought forth the most ohs and ahs. The rest of the Ameli- orators, Joyce Hibbert QSec'ty.j, Pete Gib- son QTreas.j and Elizabeth Simmons fVice- Pres.j, made their speeches garbed in white to represent Roman virtues of purity, hon- esty and truthfulness, as their party's name Ameliorator is of Latin origin Cfor the sake of those who never had the honour of studying the subjectj. The XVits party, which was composed THE TATLER Edited by GLORIA HAYCOCK and JACQUELINE MCDONALD of Vickie Vance fVice-Pres.j, Dorothy VVeeks QSec.j, and Steve Mayorscak fTreas.j, then delivered their speeches.

The Dramatic Club NfVith the ultra-modern Tillsonburg Dis- trict High School came many changes in student clubs and organizations with many new clubs being formed. Of these, the Dramatic Club is one. It was formed by an enthusiastic group of students who felt the need for literary achievement, in addition to the usual class- roomlShakespeare. The club is under the capable direction of Miss Mclntosh, whose special regard for details enhances the success of all produc- tions: Miss Ostrander, whose clever wit adds humour to otherwise tedious rehears- als: and Mr. Dicks, whose modern ideas are always welcome. The members of the club meet every Tuesday and Thursday in the activity period. At these meetings, plays are read, discussed and rehearsed. Mr. Hutt, who has directed the profes- sional groups of the Canadian theatre for two years, spoke to the group, encouraging them to greater endeavour. The members of the club are: M. C. MacEwan fPresidentJ. L. Bridge QSecretaryj. J. Alexander fTreasurerj. J. Bell, C. Carson, VV. Collings, Diver, J. Fish, J. Ghesquiere, R. Gregson, G. Hay- cock, V. Harvey, E. Heckford, VV.

It was started by skat- ing at tl1e arena and from there we went to the High School for dancing and a bite to eat. Mr. Sinclair taught us some new dances that really caught on fast. Mr. Harden played the piano for square-dancing while Miss Rock called off. There was just one thing wrong-there was an acute shortage of males! A good time was had by all.
