We reported earlier that
The B and G Commission had
recently conducted a survey of
all students in the sehool. Their
intention was to cdiscover the
r r students' suggestions for im-
provement.
The results have been. form-
ulated. Although the B andG
Commission' does not promise
any quick, sure-fire answers
to all the problems, it is their
intention to give them their
deepest consideration.
The results of the objective

Suggestions averaged out tO;'
Gr. 13r3; Gr. 12-3; Gr. 11-4.

should depend on the particita- ,'

onthe bulletin board in the
main corridor, However, we
have printed the general results
of Part B --the full answer sec-
tion.
With 1300 students in the
school, it is impossible to pub-
lish the results of all the sur-
veys. However, we were given
a number of reports from each
grade and this is what we found.

"Suggestions to improve

student participation in school

If more could be done early
in the year to get the nine and
tens in with the school this
would definitely help. The
junior grades make-up about
one half of the student body,
and: yet are really "out of it".
Most well drganized events in,
die school are for the senior
grades --for example, the prom.
Grade nines, especially early,
on in the year, have no idea
what is going on or how they
can get into, clubs, etc. An as-
sembly of grade nines also have
the drawback of sheer numbers.
Any kind of personal touch is
lost between the people, on the •
stage and the lost generation in
the seats. If senior students

could come around to the grade
nine classes and explain things
to `them --even things we take
for granted since we can figure
them out, such as where rooms
are or what sports are available
for them through the year, this
would initiate touch between
the new and the old students.
The attitude that exists with
this year's grade nine classes
seems to be that they are a
school separate from any other
students. From what they say
sports is the main way that they
think of school spirit. Some-
thing should be done to involve
more of these students -some
kind of midget teams.
The senior students all too
often seem to run the school
events, for themselves, while
the junior grades, hampered, by
/their own organizational ina-
bilities, cannot do anything.
