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!

fyn,e idi Gluh Elaine Martin, Della Korchinski. feiaadcaAii lei—le francais is a familiar sound to two students in particular at Tech. They are Elaine Martin 2A, and Della Korchinski AC. These are the beginning words in a series of French programs every Monday at 2:15 on CBC Radio. The programs run from October to the end of May. They are mainly to help students of French in rural and smaller schools in their studies of French pronun¬ ciation. This is the first time that either Elaine or Della have been on the program. Elaine plays the part of Marie in the Grade 9 series, and Della plays the part of Helene in the Grade 10 series. They find it a very interesting and different experience, and it also helps them with their French pro¬ nunciation during class. At Christmas and at the end of May, plays are presented instead of the regular teaching programs. It is quite an experience practicing and recording for these plays. The broadcasts are under the auspices of the Department of Education. Miss Gertrude Murray is the supervisor of the series and Mr. Kay Sadlemyer is the studio director. Very special thanks go to Miss Clermont for taking time to practice these plays with the girls before they go on the air, and also congratulations to her for her fine writing of the plays. PniatUiCf, Gluh Every Saturday morning at 10:30 sixty- odd ardent bowlers flock to the Bolodrome. They are kids from Balfour who enjoy bowling. Competition is keen between the ten teams for first place. For the first part of the season Loraine Barker ' s team led all the way ending up with 121.5 points. At the beginning of the new year her team was eased into second place by Adolf Jacob ' s and now first place is a toss up among any of the teams. Tech has some top bowlers too. Arnold Bluschke is tops with an average of 229. Next come Adolf Jacob, 197 and Glen Forster, 194. Among the girls the high bowlers are Joan Ulmer, Pat Kipper, and Loraine Barker. Their averages are 180, 170, and 159 respectively. Rounding off the season of bowling are the Moose Jaw Tech and Balfour tourna¬ ment and the Regina High School Bowling Championship. Balfour beat out Moose Jaw Tech in a total of three games by 200. The officers of the club were Arnold Bluschke, President; Adolf Jacob, Treasurer; and Ann Mustatia, Secretary. A tip of the hat goes to Mr. Mitchell who supported the bowlers so staunchly. Our members are somewhat limited by space. Because so many old members re¬ turned from last year, only four new ones were admitted. No large jobs were tackled. However, about sixty packets of serviettes were print¬ ed to order, for the Charity Bazaar and club members. Tickets for Drama Night, Curling Club memberships, Alumni Club, and others were produced. The only printing permitted is for use at Balfour, no commercial work being under¬ taken. The work is voluntarily done by the boys on their own time. A small reward in the form of treats is passed on to the workers.
