GUastitif, Rett jjU aan, On Friday, November 14, Balfour held its annual Benefit Bazaar. Net proceeds totalling $628.12 were distributed to various worthwhile organizations, and certainly proves that our bazaar was a very worth¬ while project. The first meeting for the organization of the bazaar was held on October 20. The following persons were elected to executive positions: General Convenor Dennis Keiser Assistant Convenor Johnny Johnson Secretary Sharon Arnusch Treasurer Errol Klinck Publicity Directors Ardale Clark and Vasile Mustatia Donations Josie Exner and Alexandra Washchyshyn Locations Conrad Rippert and Don Stetner Properties Convenor Henry Pelzer Social Director Jo-Ann F rasz Decorating Orest Bazelwich and Lorna Kullman Special thanks go to Mr. Frison, our staff director, who did a wonderful job. The night of the bazaar found the audi¬ torium very attractively decorated and the displays attracted many customers. Candy and baked goods disappeared rapidly. Dozens of jars of fruits, jams and pickles were sold at the canned goods booth. Many curious people were drawn to the fish pond and many enthusiastic players tried their skill at the Dart Throw and Ring Toss. The colorful and beautifully decorated yule logs and Christmas table centres, and other various Christmas decorations attracted many buyers. Tech banners and ash trays, copper tooling pictures, pleat-pressers, magazines, and beautifully designed foam rubber and milk-filter dolls were sold in large numbers. A feature attraction of the bazaar was the Variety Show, where our very amiable hostess was Bernice Banda. The band prov¬ ided musical entertainment and tap-dancing by Jo-Ann Frasz added much to the show. Come to Tech ' s Place was a common saying that night, as cheerleaders urged everyone to come to the cafeteria where re¬ freshments were sold. Other attractions deserving attention were the science show, the electronics show, bin- go, archery, and the fashion show, which featured various styles of dress. The food hamper was won by a student from Central Collegiate. The decorating committee did a mag¬ nificent job, and congratulations are cer¬ tainly in order for all the staff and students who put forth their best efforts and a good amount of their time in an endeavour to make our bazaar a success. They all did a terrific job, and the school has much to be proud of. Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada Wm. H. Woo, Representative Ph. Off. LA 2-5674 - Res. LA 3-6478 2250 Albert Street, Regina 5b iama and Qlee GluL Pnxx uctian ' i February 5 and 6 saw the curtains being drawn upon another Drama Night at Tech. Two one-act plays were presented to an enthusiastic audience. The first play, Sum¬ mons of Sariel, was a drama. Set in the waiting place between heaven and earth the play presents various personalities appearing to await the summons of Sariel, God ' s Angel of Death. Clay and Spirit battle each other for the Graduate ' s decision about God and the hereafter. She makes her own deci¬ sion — that she is ready to die if God so wishes. The Old Woman has come here often and wishes to die but she has not yet heard the Summons. In the end she is granted her wish. Young as well as old must die. The Blind Child and the Young Mother both pass into the world beyond. The Suicide and Graduate return to earth for a while longer. The play was directed by Sharon Arnusch and Pat Kipper. The second play, Scrambled Eggs was a light comedy. Nick and his buddy have come to a cabin high in the mountains away from the hustle and bustle of the modern world. A knock is heard on the door and a snobby movie star, a flighty young girl, a Russian chauffeur, and two goldfish appear. They have become lost while heading to Reno to get a divorce for the movie star. The chauffeur who, in real life is her hus¬ band, has tried everything to delay them from reaching Reno. Nick is aggrevated at the broken peace. The guests decide to stay over night. Morning arrives and the chauffeur has mode his plan. Nick is to pretend to shoot him and because of her real love his wife will stop him, and they will be together again. All works out fine. The supplies arrive and everyone is fed. The program was rounded off by musical selections. On March 5 and 6 the Drama Club again Dresented a play, The Mirage, directed bv Bill Dinu. A successful lawyer, Mr. Mortimer, played by Gary McMurchie has embezzled his friend, Williams, played by Cliff Grad. Williams has served his ten years in prison and has returned for re¬ venge. Mortimer has married William ' s girl in the meantime and she has turned out to be an extragavant woman. When Williams sees how Mortimer is suffering under the domineering rule of his wife, he thinks twice about his method of revenqe and leaves Mortimer to break his back for Mrs. Mortimer. Hilda Iberer protrayed Mrs. Mortimer. Pat Kipper was the secretary. As an addition to the evening ' s enter¬ tainment, a fashion show was presented. Gowns were from Pearlman ' s and suits were from Kenridqe Men ' s Store. Models were Muriel Prorktor, Jovce Eastman, Marauerite Suderman. Dianne Krattenthaler. Della Kor- ehmski, Bobbi Mover, Glen Forster, Len LeBoldus and Don Purcell. Songs of the Sea presented a variety of sea shanties and calvpso music from a voyage in the Atlantic. Captain was Jo-Ann Frasz. The Drama and Glee Club had a very suc¬ cessful year. DR. D. PARKER 710 Medical and Dental Bldg. REGINA Phone LA 2-6790 bnxima GLub The Drama Club once more started off with greater ambitions for the coming year. The Drama Club is divided under various workshops. Lighting, Stagecraft, Make-up, and Costumes are among those that supply the basic factors for successful Drama Nights. On January 15 and 16 the Drama Club presented for the student body one, one-act play, which was entitled Opening Night. This play was a farce which gave a glimpse of the confusion in t he home of Cornellia Skinner, a famous actress who was facing an opening that evening. We were fortunate enough to have a well-known drama figure, Mrs. Rena How¬ ard, who gave the pros and cons of the play. On February 5 and 6 the Drama Club is to put on Scrambled Eggs , a comedy, and Summons of Sariel, a rather serious play. In March, it is the desire of the Drama Club to present the fascinating play en¬ titled, The Mirage. It was our privilege to welcome Mr. Young to Balfour. Through his experience and know-how, he has strived to teach various members the basic fundamentals in drama in the way of production, stage work, and lighting. To the people back stage we owe every success attributed to the Drama Club. The executive and staff members would like to send out their full-hearted thanks to those who had a part in fulfilling the ambitions of the Drama Club.

The executive consists of: President Kathy Herperger 3B Vice-President Wayne Stacey 1G. Secretary-Treasurer Jackie Milan 2B We meet once a week, Monday evenings which was to be held in the woodwork shop at 7:30 P.M., but because of night school we are not allowed to hold it there. As you can see our one big problem is: A room for fencing. For now it is being held in Room 5 until futher notice. The Y.M.C.A. has challenged the boys from the Balfour Fencing Club to a bout, so in order to keep them in good shape each Monday evening we have matches among ourselves. Another thing we have done is purchased crests for the new members, and also some new blades. New members are welcome. There is no fee to join as we are suoported by the Student ' s Representative Council. CROWN LUMBER CO., LTD. Osier and S.

QU eUL 74e Jlouie. guitem, Haifa » A yU l r r rti-+nr ip prt + krtr o ppnpv 1958-59 has been another busy year for the Glee Club. Under the direction of Miss Munns the club has been privileged to sing at many performances. At the Commence¬ ment Exercises, the Glee Club sang several Russian and English folk songs. At our Christmas program at school, the club sang the traditional Christmas carols of the dif¬ ferent countries. The club also had the privilege of singing Christmas carols at the Home for Senior Men. The three drama per¬ formances were accompanied by the Glee Club who sang a variation of songs. A future appearance will be at Saskatoon where some members of the club will sing in a mass choir. We regretfully announce that an operetta will not be held this year. But, with the co-operation of the students, boys espe¬ cially, and Miss Munns, there might be a possibility of one next year.

An equal number of forms belong to each house. Inter-house competition at our track meet was very good, but the interest in basketball disappointing. Volleyball was introduced this year on an inter-form basis. Many students turned out for the games to make volleyball for this year a success. The house leaders are Joyce Eastman, Rae Waind, Arnold Bluschke and Henry Pelzer. These leaders did a wonderful job in arousing interest in their house activi¬ ties. A big thanks goes out to Miss Kach- man, Mr. Daverne, and Mr. Craig for their part in trying to make the House League a success. Gajjeteriia This year the canteen has done very well. The profits from the canteen sales go to the S.R.C. who use them for scholarships. A big thanks goes out to Mr. McVety and Mr. Hawrylak, the staff advisors for the canteen, who have helped us very much in the management of the canteen. The canteen is run by two Grade 12 girls who get assistants from 3E and 4AB. This year the two girls in charge are Joyce East¬ man and Isabel Petford. In the canteen we sell an assortment of chocolate bars, potatoe chips, Cheezies, and ice cream. The canteen is open during both recesses—morning and afternoon. We would like to thank the students for their kind co-operation during the past year that has helped us keep the canteen running in a smooth and efficient manner. Thanks a lot, kids! A school reporter is rather a special person; perhaps because he has a special job to perform. The students depend on the reporter to bring them the latest, up-to-date news about the school and its many activi¬ ties. The Balforum staff sincerely hopes it has achieved this to the satisfaction of the whole student body. During the summer of 1958, the editor, Dolores Sulsback, attended an editor ' s workshop in Saskatoon. This summer the assistant editor, Bob Natiuk, will attend the same editor ' s workshop and bring back with him many new and useful ideas to build up our school paper. But before he can practice what they preach, he must have the full support of the students ol Balfour. I sincerely hope that you will give Bob Natiuk your full co-operation and sup¬ port.
