' Kock mi %cmd Clui Last year, when Mr. Gill left, we decided to run the club alone. Mark Henderson, Alan Kiddell and myself are in charge. Meeting every Tuesday in the old art room, we have now much more space to work than we had in the old biology lab. Two film strips have been shown and another is on order. The tum¬ bler is going and the diamond saw is used frequently. We hope to start mounting in the very near future. Two of the club’s members are hoping to enter a project in the science fair. — George Newman BACK ROW: LaBella, Kiddell, Turchen, Weare, Waddell, Beech. FRONT ROW: Wood, Grymonpre, Flintoft, Bredin, New¬ man. Jk Ernfmoi Jki touii Hot Sleef On Father and Son Weekend, nine boys of the lower school put on the above play to christen the new stage in the library. We were lucky to have a full house at this first performance. One of the cast, Patrick Truelove, got out of a sick bed to play his part and had to be followed around by a person carrying a cloth, in case of accident. We greatly enjoyed performing the play and wish to express our thanks to Mrs. Dickson and Mrs. Ferguson for loaning costumes, Mrs. Heffelfinger and Mr. Ham¬ mond for doing the make-up and to Mr. Shepherd who directed the play. — Rodney Briggs Hammond, Heffelfinger, Kiddell, Briggs. jLowa School tmot On Saturday morning, May 22nd, 1965, four boys and two staff left Winnipeg for a two-day canoe trip to the Lake of the Woods. We travelled by car to Pye’s Landing at Kenora, and then transferred to the three canoes for the eight mile trip to Victoria Island. As soon as we arrived at the camp-site, we executed the task of clearing the numerous shrubs and bushes. It was nearly dusk by the time camp was set up, and after a tasty meal we retired to a fairly restless sleep. We were disturbed by rain and the odd leak in the tent. After breakfast the next morning, we decided to paddle to an old gold mine about eight miles away, finding the odd trace of its former prosperity. That evening we had a meal on Mr. Kiddell’s island and on the follow¬ ing morning returned once more by car to Winnipeg. — David Edwards — Simon Clews

Horn ' Jtyo ' tU Hmbu Home Hamber House has come through with another fairly successful year. Both Seniors and Juniors have done extremely well in Basketball, Hockey and Soccer. We anticipate a good year in Track and Field. We have done well in our honours, but not well enough to take the prize. On behalf of all the members of Hamber House, may I thank Mr. Stewart and Mrs. Perrault for helping us through the year. - GERALD MORRIS. HOUSE CAPTAIN. Horn Horn Lfomtj Horn This year has been a boom year for New House in many aspects. Cross-Country running has always been our strong¬ hold and I hope it will continue to be so for many years. In the other sports, whilst we have not been the victors, I was very pleased to see the house struggling valiantly under the fine leadership of our Sports’ Captain, Tim Gallagher. We are now beginning to see more honours in the diaries, and fewer stripes. I would like to thank Mrs. Barrett, Mrs. Nagy, and Mr. Shepherd for their help in making a better house. - RODNEY BRIGGS. HOUSE CAPTAIN. So far this year Richardson has done quite well. We have won quite a few honour prizes, but have not yet come first in any sport. Richardson House Seniors have done well in sports and are around second or third place. We did well in Soccer and Volleyball, but are being outskated in Hockey. The Juniors have had difficulties this year but are still struggling through sports. In the next term we hope to win more honour prizes and do well in Track and Field. On behalf of the boys of Richardson House I would like to thank Mr. MacKenzie and Mrs. Murray for their help and encouragement throughout the year. - JOHN BEECH. HOUSE CAPTAIN. Young House has been doing very well in sports this year. We have won the Soccer cup in both Seniors and Juniors. The Seniors are in the finals for Basketball and the Juniors are in the finals for Hockey. It has been a very prosperous year but we were sorry to lose Mrs. Watson who left the school at Christmas after a car accident. In her palce we wel¬ come an old teacher of the school, Mrs. MacNamara. I would like to thank Mr. Beare, Mrs. Watson and Mrs. MacNamara for their help this year. K »• - ALAN KIDD ELL. HOUSE CAPTAIN.
