Valerie Jones

Valerie jones is a fourth year Commerce student who has already completed her professional Accountancy Examination and is now finishing her B.Com. Val was Extrav Finance Controller 1950, plays hockey and Table Tennis and is a member of the Social Committee, that happy band of brothers and sisters who do so much to make the life of the student a rather more enjoyable one. And harking back to the "life of the student" we have there, one of the main points of policy that Val supports. A great factor recommending Val for election in her great ability for work and real enthusiasm to do all that she can for the Association, and to this end she advocates some immediate action on the many internal problems that face the Association e.g. the plans for the forthcoming student building.

One can have no hesitation in recommending Val for the Exec. both because of her general popularity and her suitability for the position.

Nominator: Audrey Cook.

As a present Exec.
