THE JUNIOR HIGH STUDENT COUNCIL As we are living in a democratic country, our way of life should be democratic even at school. This is the reason for the Student Council - to give the students an opportunity to voice their opinions on matters pertaining to the operations of the school. After the beginning of the school term, each room elected a boy and girl as their Student Council representatives. There was not even time to hold a .school-wide election for officers, so the following executive was elected within the council: President - Vice-President- Secretary- Treasurer- Abie Okazaki Wendy Stone Marilyn Mann Judy Stone Grade 7 Executive Representative- Eddie Schey The following conveners were chosen for the various committees: Social - Athletic- House- Red Cross- Joan Wray and Jim MacDonald Linda Sheppard and Jon Constable Sharen Harris Marilyn Mann and Ron Cummings. The Council undertook many responsibilities and the splendid social evenings, awards, bike check and Red Cross drive were a few of our accomplishments. Our Staff advisors, Mr. Gish and Mr. Bryan, did a splendid job in guiding our affairs. The Council members wish to extend their thanks to them and to the student body for their co-operation. Abie Okazaki 9-7

GRADE-X STUDENT COUNCIL At the beginning of our school term, each grade ten room elected two represent¬ atives as members of the Student Council, which in itself represents the basis of democracy. The bight representatives ran for various executive positions and were voted on by the high school student body. Jim Dunsmoor is our president and keeper of the slaves; Sandra Mather, vice-president, takes over when.Jim is sick or late for meetings (late 25 % of the time) and yours truly, the one who keeps;minutes, writes letters and does many other assorted things such as writing this article. As Committee Conveners we have: , Athletic - Greg Horton (the athlete) and Judy Armfield (the scholar) Social - Charlie Parker and Marietta Dorgan (hep cats) House - Kathy McDaid ! (scholar, athlete and hep-cat). The Council has worked on various activities through the year, such as socials, helping make up rules for the High School Wing (of which there are just the right amount), writing a constitution for a Students ' Union and organizing shags at noon- hours. • ’ I would like to express sincere thanks to Kiss Jagoe, our staff supervisor, on behalf of the Council for the wonderful work she has done with us: moulding us into a compact group, teaching us parliamentary procedure and best of all - for her untiring patience. I would also like to thank you, the student body, for co-operating with us, and the teachers in making this school year the wonderful one that it is. (By the way, I toe am a student, believe it or not). Elliot Gelfand Secretary, Student Council.
