Jean has been acting as Cafeteria Controller since the end of last Session and was Capping Ball Controller, 1946-47. A keen hockey player she is captain of the Senior Reserve Team this year.
Jean is interested in pushing ahead the plans for raising money for the Student Association Building in order to provide adequate Cafeteria and other facilities for students as soon as possible. Jean was responsible for the initial action in the Medical Scheme and is convenor of the Committee which is pursuing a course very likely to bring the scheme into operation shortly. She is particularly keen to see the Health Scheme become a permanent feature of student life.

Hilary, a full-time student in her third year, is hoping to complete her B.Sc. in November. She was on the Social Committee during 1945 and 1946 and is now convenor of this committee. In addition she was Undergraduates Supper Controller this year and is on the 1947 Winter Tournament Committee. She is actively interested in music, literary, debating and other cultural clubs in addition to scientific clubs, including the Maths and Physics Society, of which she is a committee member. Hilary is a student representative on the College Council Subcommittee for Jubilee Celebrations.
Hilary would like to see a complete overhaul of the cafeteria system and with improved kitchen facilities to provide a more efficient service. She considers the new Student Association Building vital to college life and will support every effort to achieve it. Closer co-operation between staff and students she also considers important and is keen to see Faculty Committees set up.
