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.

Hand For the first time in several years, Balfour has had a swing band to provide the school with entertainment for various activities. We are fortunate to have with us a couple of talented and award-winning leads, Dave Yuen and Jim Lowey. In the rhythm section we have Mervin Lowey, Tom Stager, and Barry Simmons. The band holds a full group practise once a week in the music room. Thanks are to be extended to Miss Munns for her interest in establishing the band. We hope that before the end of the year we will be able to offer the student body a variety of performances. G. EARLE KETCHESON Representative MUTUAL LIFE OF CANADA PHONES Office LA 2.5656 Res. LA 2-9670 Gammiitee Were the decorations ever terrific! Gosh, the auditorium looked great! Yes, these were just a few comments on the different decorations there have been for this year ' s dances, and it ' s all due to the wonderful committee headed by Orest Bazelwich. Decorating the auditorium for the dances is a terrific undertaking; for it requires a lot of time, co-operation, imagination, and muscle work on the part of the students who help. Here are just a few of the ideas used for the dances: For the Freshie Dance the auditorium was decorated on the Zorro theme. There was everything from masks on the lights to a life-size picture of Zorro himself, and of course, his trade mark, the sign of the Z . For the other dances there have been gaily-colored streamers, strung across the auditorium in many different variations. Also, coloured ticker-tape floating through the air. There was even a scene of a locker room set up on the stage with football players (paper) represented from all the schools. Something that was quite unique were the different lighting effects obtained, which accented the decorations. Keep up the good work, kids. Gammittee The dances this year, in my estimation, were a huge success, and it ' s due mostly to you, the students. You are to be commended on your won¬ derful support and co-operation. Without you, the dances would be a great big flop! I think it was evident that everyone who attended the dances enjoyed themselves. Something new this year, along with the usual type of dance, was the Mas¬ querade Dance and the Coke Dance. They were quite popular, and I hope they will be even more so if they occur again in the future. The Dance Committee deserves a great big thanks for all their hard work. These are the students who helped in the cafeteria at intermission, took money at the door, lugged cases of empty pop bottles up¬ stairs from the basement, and cleaned up all the mess that trailed behind after the rest of the students left the dances. Without these hard-working students that have been mentioned, there just wouldn ' t be a social life at Balfour. Thanks a million to all of you!
