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. PURPLE AND WHITE No special awards will be given to those who have already recognized the fact that our Yearbook is printed in the school colours. However, for those who have not noted that our pages are Purple and White , we would like to draw your . attention to it now.

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

■9 JUNIOR HIGH SOCIALS Dear Karmadukie, Wow! ' I’ve sure had a hectic time scampering around this term. Boy, I could hardly keep up with all the activ¬ ities about this school. I really had a riot at all the Junior High . lits - uh - social evenings. You should have seen the Grade 7, 8 and 9 ' s in the gym at noons and in their phys. ed. classes, stumbling their way through the new dahcfe steps being taught to them by the phys. ed. teachers. However, in the end, believe it or not, they were well rewarded for their effofts when ' three successful social evenings resulted. First, ' oh November 30th, the Grade 9’s held the Fall Finale. Manl Speak of having a swell timel Those kids ' heally took advantage of the good ' job the social committee did, under the leadership of Joan Wray. Wendy Stone, Joan Wray, Jon Constable and Lorne Scott did a great job of emcee¬ ing the whole program throughout the night. Although cheese wasn ' t on the menu, I hate to admit it, but........the pop and spudnuts were every bit as good. After the kids all had their fill, they hopped to it again; and what ' s more, the teachers and chaper¬ ones kept right up with them. Yes, it was a real night to remember...... To get on with it - the Grade 8 ' s had a real cool party on February 1st, called Cupid’s Cut-Ups 1 The gym was beautifully decorated with red and white hearts and streamers. The social conveners, also M.C. ' s, Judy Stone and Bob Biggart, did a terrif¬ ic job of arranging the whole evening ' s program. The kids really lived it up to the records of Bill Haley and other cool cats . Woweel The lunchroom was again in the limelight, as half why through the party, refreshments were served. When the shin¬ dig broke up, the crowd emerged from the gym very slowly but happily. Well, speaking of happy kids, the Grade 7 ' s were just that on February 8th at the Friendship Frolic. Seeing that this was to be their first big night, the social committee, with Rickie Wilson and Diana Nelson as the conveners, really put forth an effort to make this a memorable evening for the 120 Grade Seveners attending. As a result, the lit was a smashing success. If this dance was an example of what these eager beavers can do in the future - BEWARE - cuz these kids will really give the eights and nines a good run for their money! Crumb, I ' d better close and get some shut-eye while the chances are still good, cuz from what I ' ve heard, there ' s to be a closing party for the Grade 9 ' s sometime in June. So ' bye for now. Your lovin ' cousin, Herman Mouse. P.S. For most of the time I was under Miss Playfair ' s chair, but she didn ' t look under, darn! I guess she just didn ' t have time to, becuz, like all the other teachers, she was pretty busy assisting the students in making their social evenings successessful. Love, Herm.
