Twenty persons made up the membership this year with hopes of expanding and receiving a greater number of members in future years, for we feel sure that this is one club that will become bigger and better. Several meetings were made more interesting by the presence of guest speakers who passed some pointers on to us. Mr. E. Baker of the Saskatchewan Wheat Pool photography department entertained us one evening with colored slides of the north country and Indian settlements. Members were kept hopping all year putting out posters for various clubs including the Alexandra and Kinette Clubs, and decorations for the Hallowe’en and other dances were made by the club under the convenership of Danny Yee Clun. The executive for the year consisted of President, Joe Varro; Vice President, Norah Brandon; Secretary Treasurer, Danny Yee Clun; Social Convener, Alan Bell; Programme Convener, Grayce Fodey, and Activities Convener, Joe Soehn. Prescriptions Carefully Dispensed TEEN - AGERS ! IS YOUR CEILING ZERO ? • No one likes to think that his own ceiling IS zero. We all are fairly sure of our own ability to see ahead is quite as good as the next fellow’s. • Nevertheless, ALL humans are subject to a limited range of vision. That is what makes in¬ dividual planning so difficult. • The welfare of our province is synonymous with the welfare of youth. That is why labour laws have been designed to protect young men and women starting out in life. Not by guesswork . . . not by accident, but by care¬ fully analyzing the experiences of the past and building labour conditions to meet the contingen¬ cies of the future. • Minimum wage laws . . . holi¬ days with pay . . . hours of labour . . . Trade Apprenticeship Training and testing. These and other labour laws provided by your government, assure you of fair and equitable working con¬ ditions when your school days are over. Planning . . . not for today alone, but for the future. SASKATCHEWAN DEPARTMENT OF LABOUR HON. C. C. WILLIAMS Minister W. K. BRYDEN Deputy Minister ' ll n,iteSiA f Club With an eye to the social as well as the creative aspect of the craft, the writers of Balfour decided to form a fraternity this year. Under the direction of Mr. F. Rawlinson, an organization meeting was held early in the fall. The officers elected were: Lew Davidson, President; June Williams, Vice President; Isabel Radu, Secretary; Harold Crossman and Barbara Stemper, Councillors. Mr. Rawlinson was chosen as Adviser to the club and Mr. A. Hodgkins as Honorary President. The club joined the Quill and Scroll, an International High School Journalistic Society, and became the only Regina Chapter’. Members who qualified and were initiated into the Quill and Scroll received the distinctive pin and member¬ ship card. The club is open to students of Third and Fourth year and Special classes. Mr. Don MacMillan accepted the club’s invitation to become its sponsor ' and was initiated with Mr. Hodgkins. Mr. Mac- Mill an autographed the two copies of his book “Only the Stars Know”, which are now in the school library. The purpose of the club is to raise the standards of writing in the school and to encourage the younger students to write by giving them a goal to work for—membership in the Quill and Scroll. fealjjosiu+n As has happened in years gone by, it happened again one bright, crisp October morning, there appeared the first edition of the Balforum for the year 1946-7. However, a lot of preliminary work went beforehand in order to get the first edition ready for the printers. To get this done, the staff of the Balforum was organized under the capable Editorship of June Williams. In years before the Balforum was organized into two staffs— Morning and Afternoon, but this year for purposes of efficiency and consolidation, there was only one staff for both Morning and Afternoon Schools. To get a School Paper out for publica¬ tion means a lot of hard work that most students never stop to think about and a few of the things that have to be done are: 1. Business Manager makes contacts with printers and sets dates for publica¬ tion, etc. 2. Advertising solicitors are sent out next. 3. Editor and Managing Editor hand out the Assignments to the various reporters of the different depart¬ ments. 4. Material comes back to be read and typed. 5. Taken to the printers and galley proofs are made up. 6. Galley proofs are proof-read and Make-up Editor sets up the paper as it will appear. 7. Dummy paper is sent back to printers and a proof copy is received of the actual paper and is proofread again. 8. Paper has reached its final stage—publishing. This is what your Editor and her staff have to go through (no wonder Editors go gray). This has been a big year for “The Balforum”—reporting on the Canadian Aid to China Fund Drive, the Operetta “The Mocking Bird”, Convocation Exer¬ cises, and the last issue which was respect¬ fully dedicated to Mi’. Hodgkins. During the year also, “The Balforum” was sent to all corners of the globe and from these corners lurve come replies of congratula¬ tions on such a swell paper. And out of all this, resulted five issues of the Balforum,—and so—a bouquet to June and her staff for a swell paper, “we’re proud of Tech and its paper”. Page 50 Balfour Beacon ’5 7
