STUDENT COUNCIL This year, 1955-56, has been a very prosper- ous one for West Hill High School's Student Council both financially and otherwise. In early November the Student Council sent two delegates, Robert Morrison and Louise Hours- ton, to the Quebec Student Council Conference lgeld at Chambly County High School, St. Lam- ert. The Student Council this year gave two seventy-five dollar scholarships to students now attending twelfth year in our school and also supplied the prize.s for leadership in individual subjects. Social events were well organized and great success was due to the leadership of the president of the Social Committee, Graham Elvidge. President ......,...,,...,....,..,.,...,..

Louise Hourston We would like to thank Mr. Unsworth, our staff advisor, for his leadership and help during the past year. Louise Hourston, Room 207 THE JUNIOR RED CROSS The Junior Red Cross is having another active year. Our main objective, which is 35500, will either go towards medical equipment for the Royal Alexander Hospital or for a station wagon for the School for Crippled Children. This year West Hill sold over 1,000 calen- dars, and sewed and filled 200 stockings for crippled children all over the province. Also, pocketbooks, cigarettes, and many other gifts were given to the Veterans. The fudge sales went over quite well. A school paper edited mainly by six West Hillians in X-F is giving its proceeds to the Junior Red Cross. Bonnie Miller CHRISTMAS SHOW The 1955 edition of the annual West Hill Christmas Show was a great success. Although much shorter than usual and only put on for the student body it was a credit to our school. The show commenced with the instrumental Sextet doing two fast numbers. Nancy Greven did a very good dance pantomime to the music of the popular tune, Sixteen Tons . The student body was then treated to a classical piano solo by Marg. Errey. Little Gary Kockmar followed with a number from Brigadoon. Lauraine Gold cli- maxed the first part of the Show with a beau- tiful ballet number, The Cruel Snow Queen . The second half of our show was a cafe scene with the chorus line of tenth year girls doing a superb job. These girls practiced very diligently under the critical eyes of ex-chorus girls, Jane Martin and Gail Howell. Shirley Weller, West Hill's own night club girl added to the atmosphere by singing the popular song Love, Me or Leave Me . Adele Suhl was next and following her West Hill's Western fans were delighted by the singing and antics of Dusty Duchesnay and his western cowpokes. Bob Dic- kie, who masterfully M. C.'s the show did an amusing western pantomine about a football game. Glene Burns, Erica Gottlieb and Bud Schwartz followed with Glene doing a dance number with the tamberine. Erica, who was accompanied by Janet Mason on piano, sang a song and Bud played Bumble Boogie on the piano. A surprise was in store for our students and teachers alike as they were treated to two songs which were nothing less than perfect, sung by Fred Groves, Graham Tilley, Dave Shaw, George Babington and Bob Jones. XI-C did a cute dance routine to the song, Boyfriend . This act was really colossal and it made a great hit with the students. The show ended with the cast singing Another Closing to Another Show and the arrival of Santa Claus who was Dave Roffey. Our staff director, Mr. Corey, with the help of the help of the stage crew did an excellent job. Mr. Corey deserves a lot of thanks from the students themselves, so next year let's have everyone compete for a place in the Students Show . GIRLS' HI-Y The 1955-56 season for the Girls' Hi-Y was a very successful and enjoyable one. There were twenty-five well attended meet- ings at which we had speakers on such subjects as good grooming, fashions, college and careers. As service and money-raising projects we gave money to the Y.M.C.A., a scholarship to West Hill, sponsored a dance, movies and fudge sales. At Christmas time we made stockings, filled a food basket, and went carolling at the Shriners' Hospital. Throughout the year we sent two girls to the Julius Richardson Hospital every Wednesday. Our social activities included a tour of Salada Tea and a skiing trip up North. The club was well represented at the Hi-Y Conference at Ottawa during the Easter vacation. The season concluded with a most enjoyable Mother and Daughter Banquet at the Y . We sincerely hope that the work our organ- ization has accomplished this year will be kept to in future years. The executive for the 1955-56 season was as follows: Y.M.C.A. Advisor .,.,.......,.......,.... Miss Lee School Advisor ...,.... ......., M iss Whitely President ,.,..,....,,.... ..........,..
