Newspaper work in Balfour is a big- scale activity. The staff under the capable editorship of Ilaria Francis receive assignments, and at once are on the job of covering the school. They visit hockey, basketball, and rugby games, interview celebrities, dig up gossip, take pictures, draw cartoons, get form news and generally garner the happenings of the school. When all the material is turned in, a dummy is made of the paper and it is Time: Seven-thirty. Place: The Alpha Tau Room of the Balfour Technical School. It is in these comfortable surroundings that Balfour’s industrious Cercle Francais Balfour meets every first and third Tuesday. Yes-—Le Cercle Francais Balfour, with twenty members, convinced that French is fun and out to prove it! This group represents various forms from Third and Fourth year and Special classes and is sponsored by Miss Clermont. Each meeting finds the members enjoying an evening of conversational French and making use of their increasing knowledge of that language. After the formal opening of the meeting by the president, Allan Gomez, they continue with an interesting program. French skits are acted out, French songs are sung, and Electrical Appliances for The Home ELfCTRIC then ready for the printers. Taken to the printer, a proof is made and returned to the Editor who proofreads it and makes any changes necessary. Back to the printer again for the final stage— publishing. Distribution is then taken care of by the Business Manager. The “Balforum” has reached all corners of the earth, as far as Hawaii, and in return we have received many papers from these places. Five issues of Tech’s paper have been published which have pleased students and at the same time maintained the standard that is worthy of Balfour. games are played. Their understanding of French is deepened through reading the French paper La Presse, listening to different selections from the French record library, and for the more ambitious members by writing short plays. These evenings alternate with programs of a more social nature where a lunch, pre¬ pared by the social committee, Bernice Zosiak and Kelly Krammer, is enjoyed. The executive of Le Cercle Francais Balfour elected at the first meeting, September 22, was as follows: Honorary President—Miss Clermont. President—Allan Gomez. Secretary—Trudy Woldrich. Treasurer—David Bing-Wo. Social Committee—Kelly Krammer, Bernice Zosiak. ZIPPER BRIEF CASE Made to Order Our Own Make of A-l Grain Leather. Zippers sewn into Baggage and Gar¬ ments.

Two Dates to Remember Regina Light Horse Show Week of March 29, 1948 The Finest Event of its Kind in Western Canada Crowds are increasing steadily each year—Plan to attend! and Regina Exhibition and Rodeo July 26 to 31, 1948 “Bigger and Better Than Ever” Next year will see many new features and improvements again— You Can’t Afford to Miss It! Smart Clothes for the College Man iafou i Piutti+u}, Club The Balfour Technical School Printing Club has always been one of the most active clubs in the school. This year has been no exception. Besides the usual run of activities (the printing of dance tickets, programs, Christmas cards, etc.) the club is always open to new ideas. An experiment was made in printing pennants on felt, an idea springing from the fertile mind of our instructor, Mr. Imbery. The biggest job that the Printing Club has ever undertaken, is the printing of tickets and programs for Tech’s annual Operetta. Also all those pink time table cards that you see floating around, as well as the room time tables and seating cards, are done by the Balfour Printing Club. One of the better pressmen is Harold Hameluck of 3G. With the exception of the press which still belongs to Mr. Imbery, the Student Council has purchased all the equipment, many changes and improvements in the arrangement of which have been made for easier access. The Club also holds annual socials, of which one has already been held in the Alpha Tau Room, with twenty-six persons attending. The Club is looking forward to another happy gathering to keep up the good friendship and club spirit. Officers are as follows: President—Jake Suderman. Vice President—Nick Petrinack. Secretary—Allan Nelson. Treasurer: Don Munro. We sincerely hope that next year again, this club will be as active as it has been in 1947-48. lie . 7 . S. Stamp, Glut The stamp enthusiasts of Tech meet every Wednesday night in the Cafeteria, to swap stamps, to talk about recent issues, and to pick up new hints on stamp collection. These hints are easy to obtain from their supervisor and fellow collector, Mr. Mitchell, who has a beautiful collection of Canadian, Austral¬ ian and New Zealand stamps. There are at present sixteen members, all boys, in the club. However, more members, including girls, are welcome. Elections were held after Christmas. Nick Petrinack was elected President and Herb Kruger, Secretary Treasurer. In February a display of stamps was put in the corridor so that the Club’s collection could be admired by the Tech students. The display consisted of British Colonies, German and Canadian issues, as well as many others. The philatelists of this club have had a very fine year, for there were treasure hunts, auctions and many other ways by which they enlarged their collection. Ware’s Wares Wear Well 1717-19 SCARTH ST. So- ty ' 6. A sewing club for commercial students is something new. Last fall twenty-five girls from Form II, who hoped to be experts on the typewriter when they finished their commercial course, also made up their minds that they would master the art of sewing. With the help of one of their teachers they were able to form a sewing club with four sewing instructors selected from the Dressmaking class. These young ladies, Eleanor Mac¬ Donald, Lois Johnson, Marion McLean and Mildred Keyser, have given generously of their time and interest and are making the So-Y’s a club worthy of the name (Sew-wise). The girls meet every week at the Y.W.C.A., dividing into two groups for their sewing instruction. There is fun as well as work in the club and the members feel that their venture this year has been very worthwhile. Machine Shop, Glut). The officers of this club are the following: President—Paul Ursaki. Secretary-—Bill Paisley. Chief mud-in-the-eye—Ken Powless. Staff Adviser—Mr. Bond. Considering that the membership is limited to twenty, Machine Shop Club has done well this year. Is is composed of Third and Fourth year students, and Second years chosen by the executive. This year they are planning a display board of miniature items such as crank¬ shafts, hammers, gears and threads pre¬ pared for the Rrgina Exhibition. Money is raised for social evenings by doing small jobs brought in by the members. One social evening has been held which turned out very successfully and the members are now looking forward to the annual picnic at King’s Park which will wind up activities for this year.
