In a short space of months, students and teachers alike have been projected from a somewhat quiet and serene rural environment into the bustling activity of a highly organized and centralized high school system. The benefits of better school buildings, more extracurricular activities and a wider range of social contacts with stu¬ dents from other communities should be obvious to both students and teachers. Is the future as bright as it would seem or are there rocky shoals hidden in the new system? This question can be best answered by the students themselves. Life is what you make it. The close relationship between student and teacher will be more difficult to maintain. The teacher will be less of a factor in the student’s success and the student will have to rely more on his own ability, initiative and self-discipline. 1960 marks the end of an era, but the high standards and achievements of the stu¬ dents of East St. Paul should not be jeopardized by the change. In the new system, the possibilities for excellence in athletics and academic study will be unlimited. It is my hope that you will rise to the occasion and prove yourselves worthy of your teachers’ esteem. I am sure that all the teachers will agree with me when I urge all of you, freshmen and seniors alike, to continue working diligently at your studies and to approach all of your problems with a clear, unbiased, and inquisitive mind. Make the search for know¬ ledge your ultimate goal, for knowledge is the gateway to wisdom. D. McMaster Principal A dm i n isir a tio n REGULAR STAFF--LEFT TO RIGHT: G. Peters, D. McMaster, A. Petkau, J. Bergeron, and D, Doerksen. D. McMaster: Principal, teacher, coach--first class! A former Kelvinite and a graduate of Science and Education at the University of Manitoba, Mr. McMaster can be found at a school board meeting arguing salaries, in a classroom teaching anything from skin¬ ning squirrels to molding teacups, or in the gymn asium whipping his All-Stars into shape. In the past six years he has voluntarily accomplished many wonders at East St. Paul besides teaching his regular Mathematics IX, X, XI, XII, and Science IX classes. J. L. BERGERON: Et vous, monsieur, parlezvous francais? The answer to your problem can be found in a speedy Volkswagen on its way from St. Boniface. Mr. Bergeron attended St. Boniface College and later received his degrees in Arts and Education at the University of Manitoba. Much appreciation is felt for the sympathetic understanding he has shown the teen¬ agers here in the past five years. His classes include French IX, X, XI, XII, History XI, and Composition X. D. W. DOERKSEN: “How shall I word it?” is a ques¬ tion often put to this staff member. The high school years spent at Issac Newton High School and the Men- nonite Br ethren Collegiate and the later years of study attaining his Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Pedagogy from the University of Manitoba aid him in sending the befuddled English student away with a satisfactory answer. Mr. Doerksen has been at East St. Paul for two years and is now teaching English XI and XII, Literature X, and Social Studies IX and X. A. D. PETKAU: Although he is the newest member of our staff Mr. Petkau is rapidly becoming a “favourite” here.

PETERS: Fluent in four languages, Mr. Peters received his secondary education at the Halbsbadt High School, the Pedagogical School, and the Teacher’s Institute, Petersburg (now Leningrad) in Russia. In Canada, he attended the Mennonite Collegiate Institute, Gretna, Manitoba, and the Manitoba Teacher’s College. Later he received his Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Manitoba. Inhis second year at East St. Paul, it is rumored that he can be found in the laboratory gleefully mixing up a batch of the “elixir of life’’ when not teaching Physics XII or Chemistry XII. MISS P.

Although E.S.P. did not enter into any league, they still climaxed a fairly successful season by taking four out of seven exhibition games. This wouldn’t have been possible without the coaching of Mr. McMaster. As in many other years the “Grads” came back to challenge the Collegiate boys. The first game, played in December, was in favour of the Collegiate 37-10. In January the “Grads” returned for another game. Even though they played considerably better the Collegiate team’s close checking and shooting were too much for the “Grads” and they were once again defeated by a score of 45-23. E.S.P.’s first sad defeat of the 1959-1960 season occurred when West Kildonan won the game by a score of 48-43, a mere “2 1 2 baskets”. E.S.P., compensating for the previous loss, trounced Brooklands Collegiate with the fabulous score of 47-10. The next game, “the thriller of the season”, took place at St. Boniface Collegiate in February. The outstanding scorer of the night was Ken Pchajek, scoring 19 points with the help of Wayne Novak’s skillful plays. Brockowski, Miller, and Procter shouldn’t be forgotten with their rebounding and threats from the outside. In spite of St. Boniface’s skilled passing attack and E.S.P.’s weakness in controlling passes and dribbles, both teams held the score to a very close margin. With the last seconds remaining, Pchajek’s and Novak’s shots paid off. When the final whistle blew E.S.P. had the victorious score of 37-35. E.S.P. saw defeat once again, this time against The Mennonite Brethren, the score 20-18--No comment. The next defeat took place at Elmwood High in March. This was the worst defeat E.S.P. encountered in the year. In spite of Elmwood’s height and practice, E.S.P. fought hard and the teams were tied 20 all at half time. Because of Elmwood’s superior playing, in the last quarter they left E.S.P. behind with a score of 50-36.

The final league games found Kell on top with Miller and Pchajek close runners up. The semi-finals saw Miller and Pchajek battling it out for second place. Although the games were close. Miller defeated Pchajek two games out of three, which put him in position to play Kell for first place. The finals saw the gym filled with spectators rooting for both teams. The winners of the best out of three were to be the school champions. The first game was taken by Kell with a score of 19 to 16. Miller defeated Kell in the second game by 22 to 19. This made the third game a “Sudden Death”. Both teams played very hard, and in spite of Novak’s long shots Kell pulled out in front with a score of 22 to 14.

HIGH SCHOOL BONSPIEL This year for the first time East St. Paul was represented by three rinks in the High School Bonspiel. Unfortunately none of the teams made the play-offs, but they still tried hard to bring honour to East St. Paul. LEFT TO RIGHT: Danny Buksak, Joey Brockowski, Terry Spooner, John Tees, skip.

This year eleven rinks entered the school bonspiel which proved to be stiff competition. At the end of the schedule after some close and exciting games, the practically undefeatable team skipped by Stasynec won all but one game. In spite of their loss the team was not discouraged, but kept up the fight and managed to pull out in front to win the school championship. Although there were a few bruised knees, stiff arms and legs, the spiel was enjoyed by all. FOOTBALL BACK ROW, Left to Right: John Tees, Ray Jensen, Wayne Novak, Arnold Miller, Bob Miller.

The girls’ collegiate basketball team played extremely well this year, although they had few opportunities to prove their ability. Three games were played, all of these being against Miles Macdonnell. The first game turned out to be an overwhelming victory for East St. Paul, the score being23-9. Early in March, a second and third game were played. Although by a much smaller margin. East St. Paul managed to squeeze by a second game with a 25-23 victory. The last game before Easter provided a disastrous turn of events for our superb basketball team. East St. Paul went down to a 30-20 loss.

The majority of the girls took an active part in noon hour sports. League games were in full swing with all players trying to do the best for their respective teams. The four girls teams battled it out until the final whistle. The results and names of winning team players and competing captains were as follows: WINNING TEAM-LARKS Captain: June Neil Louise Godde Pat Krawchuk Second ORIOLES Third RAVENS Fourth CARDINALS Judy Pchajek Joanne Glowaski Theresa Onhaiser Frances Waugh Carolyn Zelinsky Annette Kostiuk Gloria Miller Judy Wachal Sharon Negrich Captain, Jeanne Bagamery Captain, Sylvia Rebeck Captain, Audrey Wachal After a brief lapse for the Christmas holidays, league games were once again resumed. New teams had been picked and all were eager to begin. These series of I games lasted from January until March. The evenly matched teams offered stiff competition to one an¬ other. The finals proved very thrilling with bystanders cheering their favorites on. When the final game was ended, the Terrors had zoomed ahead and emerged as victors with the Kweens as runner-ups, followed by third and fourth place winners, the Larks and the Poodles. The winning team had the following roster: Captain: June Neil Donna Grabowsky Pat Krawchuk Irene Malazdrewicz Frances Waugh Janet Matsuo Angela Askew Louise Godde Sharon Negrich Linda Omenik Georgine Spooner Second Place Kweens Captain, Audrey Wachal Third Place Larks Captain, Sylvia Rebeck Fourth Place Poodles Captain, Jeanne Bagamery CHAMPS TERRORS SECOND ROW, Left to Right: Irene Malazdrewicz, Donna Grabowsky, Pat Krawchuk, Frances Waugh, Linda Omenuk, FRONT ROW: Louise Godde, June Neil, Captain; Janet Matsuo.

GIRLS ' CURLING The curling rink was invaded with girls, Mondays and Thursdays, from 12:00 P.M.-1:00 P.M. Eight rinks were actively participating in the noon hour curling. Competition was keen. Four rinks went into the play-offs, each eager to win. After having eliminated two of the four rinks, the final draw was played between the rink skipped by Judy Pchajek and that of Valerie Wachal. After a thrilling match, the following foursome were declared champs of the “noon hour ’spiel.’’ Skip: Third: Second: Lead: Judy Pchajek Judy Wachal Georgine Spooner Annette Kostiuk Curling was enjoyed by all, and even the cold couldn’t keep the “weaker sex” away. STUDENT COUNCIL BACK ROW, Left to Right: Fred Miller, Ken Pchajek, Bob Miller, Danny Buksak, FRONT ROW: Sheila DeVisser, Angela Askew, Antoinette Reichert, Jeanne Bagamery. Our activities during the school week have given our students something to look forward to. Our student council period is held from 2:30-3:30 regularly on Friday after¬ noons. We have had a variety of things including a variety show, debates, panel discus¬ sions and talks from interesting guests. Our variety shows have been amusing and the students take it in their stride as it is good fun. Accordianists such as Douglas Stemkoski and Richard Chornick add the musical part to our show and these “Hep Cats’’ really swing it. Recently we have been having interclassroom debates. Firstly, four students from each room compete with their classmates and the two winners of these go on to compete with the other classrooms. We have found this to be very educational as it urges the students to do more research. The interesting guests previously mentioned include such people as a lady lawyer and a man representing a local radio station. It was quite a pleasant surprise when it was learned that the students of the colle¬ giate were goingto receive dancing lessons during physical education period. The teachers were to be Miss Thom and Mr. Elefenboum. The first dancing lessons rolled around and the students were really surprised because few had expected it would be as much fun as it really was. The first lessons included rhythm marching,the bunny hop and the schottische. Although the boys were the most skeptical about these lessons it seemed to the girls that they were the ones who enjoyed it the most. All in all our student council has done a good job in spite of all the little bits of trouble they have run up against, and I am sure that the students of this school are very grateful to their representatives for the pleasure they have been able to bring them. Our studc-nt council has been very active this year as compared to the previous years. The dances we have had were very successful. The many activities inside the school have also, we feel sure, done much to lessen the monotony of school hours. Our first dance was a combined basketball game and dance and it was the first one to ever bo held in the Hast St. Paul Collegiate. Our huge gym provided us with a good place for both the game and the dance. The game was played by the boys of the ' Collegiate All Star team against the graduates of the East St. Paul School. It was a thrilling and oxciting game but it was a tragic loss for the graduates who were in poor condition as compared to the All Stars. The dance which followed was enjoyed by everyone. The attendance was large and it was then we really became thankful we had held it in our gym. For the music that night we played records as the funds of the student council were not too great, but this appeared to make absolutely no difference to the success of the ' evening. Refreshments were sold and at the end of the evening we were sure that everyone had gone home feeling that this had been a terrific dance. The next dance the ' student council had was held on March 11. This dance was put on for the purpose of rais¬ ing money for the graduation which was coming upon us very rapidly. The dance was to have started at 8:00 but it never really got under way until 9:00. Once it did get started, lowever, it was a lot of fun. A “no smoking " sign was put up forbidding anyone to smoke inside the gym and this rule was enforced by Mr. Askew, a special constable who has been chaperoning the dances. It made it much more pleasant inside the gym without having the air getting stuffy. There were a variety of dances including the Mexican Hat dance, polkas, waltzes, jives, etc., and prizes were given for spot dances. Although the attendance was not as great as we had antici¬ pated it was just as successful as the last dance we had.

The year 1960 held many bright things for the collegiate. For the first time in its history it had a yearbook. Finding a name for it was a problem. After racking our brains for an appropriate title someone suggested the “Forerunner”, which turned out to be its title. The yearbook committee consisted of eleven members who were subdivided into smaller committees, each looking after individual problems such as social activities, sports, and advertising. Our editor. Bob Scott, an ambitious grade twelve student, put a lot of time into organizing the yearbook. A newcomer to grade eleven, Donna Grabowsky, was Bob Scott’s assistant editor. Donna, a happy-go-lucky person, is one of the better students in grade eleven. Audrey Wachal, a top student in grade twelve, wrote a report on the Faculty mem¬ bers. Without the advertising committee the yearbook would not have been possible. Richard Chornick came to East St. Paul this year and was a great help in advertising. Richard has three other fellow advertisers: Frank Favoni, John Tees, and Fred Butler. June Neil, a good looking blonde from grade eleven, took care of the girls’ sports for the year. Brian Stasynec, another grade eleven student, took care of boys’ sports. Our social committee consisted of Angela Askew and Danny Buksak, both grade ten students. Rosemary Easton took care of the literary section and did a marvellous job. Staff advisor for the yearbook was Mr. Bergeron, who also spent considerable time and effort taking pictures of school activities. RED RIVER TEENERS The object of this club is to encourage social and athletic activities among the members of the club. The club now consists of 121 members.

Jr HONOR STUDENTS AUDREY KRIESE: One of our old grads, Audrey was the first scholarship winner in 1955. She has since graduated from the University of Manitoba with a Bachelor of Science in Home Economics. At present Audrey is taking postgraduate studies in the United States. ANNE TACHINSKI: Anne won the Home and School Scholarship in 1956. She used her scholarship to further her business education. Anne, the eldest of an illustrious trio of Tachinski s who have attended the collegiate, is a valued member of the Winnipeg business world. NORMAN SCHMIDT: Tall and quiet, Norman took top honours in both basketball and studies in 1958. Norman studied Architectural Drafting at the Manitoba Technical Institute. This year he is engaged in missionary work in Eastern Canada. JACQUELINE WACHAL: Jackie was small in stature but collosal in ability. One of our “mighty mites’’, she was a valued member ofthe girls’ basketball team. In her grade 11 and 12 Jackie established new records in her final examinations. Her grade 12 average of 89.9 will probably stand for years to come. Jackie is attending the University of Manitoba where she is studying Science. AUDREY WACHAL: It seems that scholastic ability must run in the Wachal clan. Audrey, Jackie’s cousin, won the East St. Paul Home and School Scholarship in 1959. She is cur¬ rently attending grade 12 at the collegiate. She shines in sports as well as studies and holds down the centre position in our basketball team. Audrey intends to continue her studies in Science at St. Paul’s College in 1961. HERE AND THERE WITH THE OLD GRADS PAT DUNITS: Athletic and attractive--furthering studies at Success Business College.

BERNICE SEEHOLZER: Mathematically inclined-- studying Accountancy at M.T.I. MAINTENANCE STAFF MR. H. SULKERS: Too often taken for granted, his contribution to the school cannot be measured. Bus driver, caretaker, and friend in need, Mr. Sulkers has made the school a bright, clean, attractive building in which to work. MRS. JACYK: Seldom seen by the majority of the students, Mrs. Jacyk’s industrious polish¬ ing and cleaning every evening is appreciated by everyone when school opens the next morning. AS I REMINISCE As I sit here in our downtown apartment, watching our two boys playing with their factory-made toys, I think of my own childhood days and of how I was never content to stay indoors. Our boys do not have any pets, as pets are not allowed in an apartment. When I was a youngster, I made my own toys and played in the good, clean, country air. The fields and woods were my playground. Our boys have to play in the street or in a crowded playground. I can remember how we boys would build small animal traps to catch squirrels and rabbits, and how we would sit patiently for hours, waiting for an animal to fall into one. When we did catch one, we would take it home and tame it. It seemed as though we had a new pet every day. Everywhere I went, my collie dog was not far behind. I can still see the way he would sit quietly when we went trapping animals. When we did catch our prey, he would jump all over me with joy. When the soft, clean snow of winter covered the ground, I would set snares in the bush to catch bush rabbits, which I sold to the fox farm for a few cents. My dog, being quite strong, would pull my toboggan through the snow, stopping at each snare as I put the captured rabbit onto the load. As I sit here and recall my youth, I can see all the thrills and pleasures which my boys are missing, and probably will never know about. RAY JENSEN--Grade 10 THE STORM It was a sultry evening. There was a slight wind, and grey clouds were forming in the heavens. A mist was falling, and the wind became stronger. All of a sudden, a crack of thunder pierced my ears. It started to rain, and then to hail. It was pathetic watching windows, plants, and flowers break under the heavy strain of the storm. The stones were quite large, and they stung as they were hurled against me. The sky darkened as the ground turned white. Flowers were broken, and plants were smashed beyond recognition. Trees and branches were strewn along the ground. The vegetables in the garden were smashed to a pulp. It was the worst storm in twenty years, and I don’t think I’ll ever forget it. ADRIAN KOLTON--Grade 9 EAST ST. PAUL Here’s to a school that’s on the ball. The school that I mean is East St. Paul. Teachers, students and much more. Make school a pleasure, not a bore. This term has meant a lot to me. And many more I hope there’ll be. Compared to other schools around. There’s no comparison, I have found. So here’s to good old E. S. P. The school that’s right for you and me. When we leave we won’t forget The things we learned, the friends we met. KAREN BIRKETT. Grade 9. A NIGHT TO REMEMBER It was a night so grim and cold, A night that scared both young and old. The storm it came, the rain did pour. The wind it howled, the sky did roar. Shutters were banging. Screams were heard. Trees were falling. And houses were burned. Shadows appeared in cranny and nook; A night to remember with only one look. By sun up it quieted. The damage was done. The town did not murmur. Not even a hum. The storm was a mystery Unsolved as yet. The work of the devil. Many will bet. JUNE NEIL Grade 11. THE CROOK It took my mind some twenty days. Some twenty days it took. To cram some knowledge in my head And store it in a nook. It took an exam on the twentieth day. The twentieth day it took. To make my hair with fear turn grey: I cheated like a crook. BOB SCOTT Grade 12. LITERARY EDITORS NOTE I would like to thank the students for taking the time to write material for this column. Also deserving thanks are the teachers, who made these contributions possible. I feel sure that the following materials will put none of the students to shame.

The fate of the Hudson’s Bay Company, and indeed, of western and northern Canada depended on the success of her voyage, for Groseilliers and Radisson had described to King Charles the wealth of furs found in the New World, but the existence and accessibility of this wealth had to be established. The valuable returning cargo was hailed with joy and the company of court Gallants who backed the adventure was incorporated, on May 2nd. 1670, as “The Governor and Company of Adventurers of England trading into Hudson Bay.” untpnnn MlltS Bright with promise, tomorrow ' s world just over the horizon ... its one certainty a greater Canada to be built, to be shared, to be sustained.
