Treasurer QBUR social activities opened with a class party on April l4th. The various committees did their work so well that everything went off splendidly. The climax to the party came when a storm broke and all lights went out, and we had to amuse ourselves by telling ghost stories in the dark! After this we settled down to business affairs in good earnest. We arranged class meetings so as to have two Wednesdays for business and one for entertainment. We also carried out some measures for improving the looks of our class room. - The following week was full of excitement because there were two nominees from our class-Lisa lVlolander and Arthur Saum-for Viceroy. Christine was elected Secretary. There was very good feeling during the campaign, and we are proud of the speeches of our two nominees for Viceroy. No sooner were the elections over than we were busy planning for a High School Party in which we all joined to make a grand success.

Seventh Standard this year have, on the whole, done quite well in Student Government. Indeed, we are reported to have improved considerably in the matter of class- room behaviour! It is our hope that next year we may have a class room of our own which we can keep spick and span, and we are already saving money out of the class fund to buy something useful for it. At a meeting held on July 19th we drew up a code of rules for the class. Our later meetings have been devoted to a discussion of the subject of H Duty. At the beginning of the year a committee of three was appointed to plan for class entertainments. We had our share of work and fun in the High School Party, lVlay 5th, Since then we have had only one party-a class party given to us by Miss Marley. We are planning, however, to have another one some time this month. Class Spirit has been fostered by our Student Government activities. Our class plays have been entered into with zest by both boys and girls. At the High School party we contributed a play called U A Triangular Duel. Violet as the rotund and pugilistic Mr. Easthupp caused much merriment. ln August at the Bible Society entertainment we acted scenes from lVlary Johnston's book U Croatan depicting the story of Sir Walter Raleigh's Lost Colony at Roanoke.
