Ponder Problems at Inter-Club Boaird Session .At *he last meeting. of the Inter- Club board several important mattens were discussed. A report was first given by a committee consistinig of four board members whô 'discussed with the scbool board the problem of wbat ii the mitost approdpriate type of memorial to. dedicate to Mr. Clerkz. The plan seeming most to fit ini wtl the feelings of the school board is that t .h e new ,buildinig, wiceh is to l)e started soon, ,bc dedicated to Mr.' Clerk. A man wbo .was, very much interested.in acquiritig sucb an addi-. tion- to Newv Trier, in' fact .wbo vas highly instrumental in bringing about the projèctl, Mr. Clerk is undoulitedly the logical man for whomn the new buildink should. be. named. In dis- cussing the problem'N ith the stu- dents, it is apparent that the -vast majôrit'y is of the same feeliing; as the school board. Therefore, the Inter-Club board comnmittee came to the agreenient with the scbool board. that Mr. Cler's rnante be commem- orated by the -new building. For' the last two meetings tbe f ram- ing -of a suitable constitution has been a major topic for discussion. A. con- mittee was appointed to draw.a tei- porary constitution, NObicb vas al- tered and -rearranged by 'the other - board. memnbers at a special mIeeting and finally adopted at thie last meet- Thg.Ve board feels. that the consti- tution as it stands now covers thon- oughly 'ail problelns wbich will arise. uinder present conditions; h'owever, as conditions change tbe constitution w *Il undoubtedly bave to ýbe altered accordingly. The process of organi- zation lias at Iast been dealt witb. >.Lastly, it was, decided by the b oard that a special bulletin be issued stat- ing tbat each advîson room be pre- pared to express tbrough its Ti-ship or ýGirls' club) representative its feel- ings on the dedication of the new- atbletic fildk. The matter will then be brougbt up ýat the next meeting. of the board, wbere the consenus of opinion of the boys will be com-pared with that of the girls.
