STL'DENT COUNCIL
MEETING
What will probably be the
final meeting for the year of the
entire Student Council was held
last week. Although not too
much business for this year re-
mains, several suggestions for
next term's Student Council
were recorded. One proposal
was that in future the president
he a boy from Grade XII since
the Grade XIII workload leaves
little time for presidential duties
and vice versa. Another con-
sideration was the replacement
of fall Student Council execu-
tive elections by spring votes.
Year Book Editor Glenn
Machan suggested that in
future Year Book money and
perhaps football admission be
collected in a fee at the start
of each year. This would help
the Year Book Executive in
their ordering of materials
which must be done at the be-
ginning of the year.
