John McGrath lives in Wellington and was educated at Wanganui Collegiate. He is a third year part-time law student.

On the 1964 - 65 Capping Committee he worked out the scheme enabling our first full day Charity collection. Also associated with the distribution of Cappicade 1964. A member of the Public Relatione Committee, Winter Tournament Committee (as joint Social Controller the Swords Club and the National Club. Other sporting activities include Cricket and Harriers. Has been a Tour of Schools Representitive and has written articles in Salient.

Charity Collection: We have an excellent chance of being able to collect for the whole day again next year. My experience has taught me that more publicity is required, in particular to show that we are collecting for a charity and not ourselves. If there is sufficient support I would try to extend collecting to the suburbs.

Extravaganza: Extrav this year was successful. No Extrav can be better than its script and I would support the offering of cash incentives for scripts.

Procesh: The best floats this year were those which had the most time and thought put into them. I feel this, coupled with early and detailed planning is the only way to avoid a piecemeal procesh.

Stunts: This is one of the most important [unclear: responsibilities] of a Capping Controller. I would support stunts, such as those put on by Weir House students picture theatres this year. However I would define[unclear: iy] oppose any stunt that was criminally irresponsible. Such stunts can really hurt students as a whole.
