The two teachers who sit on the meetings are Miss Jacklin and Miss Caulder. With these people in office, you can see that we have a very efficient coun- cil. The main duty of the Stu- dent's Council is to promote ex- tra-curricular activities. I un- derstand that the new clubs that have been instituted have been having successful medtings and are well under way. The council has also the school into three houses: Red, White and Black. These names are only temporary un- til more suitable names are sel- ected. Points are given for every activity and the house with the most points at the end of 'the year is claimed champion. A vote whether to have blaz- ers or not was taken a few weeks ago, with the vote being in the af- firmative. This voting was pro- moted by the Council. Last year the At Home Dance was inaugurated by last year's" council, and will be held again this year. These are just a few examples of what the council has done and is doing. All of the students at the school hail the council as definitely great and we just hope that it can keep up the fine work that it has done in the past. Third Form had its form party last Saturday night and I hear it came off quite well, Some of those in. attendance were Doug Pirie, Roslyn Kelley, John Mac- Callum, Mr, E.

GRAYDON At a recent meeting of the local association when the bus- iness had been settled and con- versation branched off into sev- eral tangents, we were discus sing the capacities of certain people for doing things, how some people could never do this or that, and others never refus- ed a request upon their time and energy. At this point, Mrs, Ir- ven Fell recounted that her bro- ther, Dr. Brock Chisholm said that his observation had been that most people could always do what they wanted to do, saying that you couldn't do something most often meant that you did. n't want to do it. With that in mind I was ra- ther put on the spot when it was suggested that I take over Mrs. Fell's column on Guiding in Oakville when she was elected Vice-Chairman of the local as- sociation, Mrs. Fell assured me that I could do it, so it just re- mained for me to decide wheth- er I wanted to try or not. In spite of the comforting as- surance of Mrs. Fell's support and assistance and the co-oper- ation of Ranger, Guide and Brownie leaders, and the local association, T am only too aware Girl BY MRS. of my shortcomings and it is with real trepidation that I shall endeavour to carry on the work done so ably by the found- er of Girl Guide activities in Oakville. Mrs, Fell gave a brief history of Guiding in Oakville in this column some time ago, but for those who may not have seen it, may I state briefly that Mrs. Fell, as Faith Chisholm, started the first company of Girl Guides in * Oakville thirty-four years ago. Among her first recruits who are still in our midst are Miss Mary Busby, leader of the First Company; Miss Norah Crossley, Miss Betty O'Reilly, Mrs. Ruth Chisholm Sterling, and others. Mrs. Fell's interest in this worthwhile work has never lagged and it is regret table that she must give up the column in order to Bive sufficient time to other branches of Guide activities. is past week Company spent part meeting making Pins from plaster moulds. At the Scout Friday they will climax this year's activities with a Christ. mas party, the Patrol Leaders taking full charge of enter- tainment and refreshments. The Second Company is proud to welcome into its ranks Mary Elizabeth Forth, a Golden Hand Brownie who comes to Omkville from Verdun, Que. This com- pany meets at St. John's United Church on Thursday evenings at seven o'clock and has room for several more recruits between the ages of eleven and fourteen years, It is not necessary for girls interested to have been the Third _ of the Tenderfoot of Miss McKinley, Donna MacRae, Dave Farley, Dave Pawson, Alex Wilson, Muriel MacLeod, and many others. I might mention in passing what students will be able to take part in this winter in the way of extra-curricular activi- ties. There will be inter-form hockey and basketball, shoot- ing, debating and public speak- ing, dramatics, and singing. So you can see that extra time can easily be occupied. That's all for this week, good people, but next week I plan to have an article about the Glee Club, so take care of yourselves and Tl see you then. Brownies and they may apply at the above time and place to the leader, Mrs. Jim McKinley at the next meeting, December 16th. A project of this' company is the collecting of picture magazines. and comic hooks to be sent to a leper colony in Africa, and the Guides will be grateful for con- tributions to this work. Mrs. McKinley; phone 986-W, will be glad to arrange to have them picked up. On December 1st four new Guides were enrolled. in Miss Busby's First Guide Company, Gail Edwards, Carole Broad- bent, Betty A. Wright and Elaine Rowe. Brownies have been as busy as beavers: In the Ist Pack two Tweenies have been enrolled, Gita Dinka and Janet Inkster. Muriel Black received the Gol- den Bar badge which means that she has learned to do a great variety of interesting and useful things. The 2nd Pack had a busy meet- ing las t week, and Golden Bar badges were given to Jill Brown, Joan Bowner, Carol Penman, Muriel Stewart and Evelyn Shunk.
