Ilte (icdjjcui ' i (lefxcM DEADLINE — One simple little word com¬ posed of eight common letters, but the force and meaning behind it sends about three dozen students scurrying around the school like chickens with their heads cut off. These students are responsible for the simple, everyday job of producing the Balforum, our school paper. It must be out on time and it must be full of jokes or else—-! 1 957 - 1 958 so far has been a great year full of accomplishments for us. First and foremost is the new type, size and shape of the Balforum. Instead of four, four-page newsprint editions we have introduced a smaller, but thicker, spanking white paper. When this article was written, two eight- page editions had already hit the stand. The two following ones are expected to be twelve pages long. It means a lot more labour, but you, the students, seem to enjoy it and we hope you will continue this practice in the future. For the first time, the Balfour staff, through the efforts of Mr. Bell, took advan¬ tage of the Summer Workshop for editors of school annuals and papers, held annually at the University of Saskatchewan. We sent our present editor, Hilda Iberer, there this past summer and we intend to send Dolores Sulsback, our present assistant editor, to the workshop this summer. The four days spent for the course will help her when she steps up to the editor ' s position in 1953 - 1959. Good luck, Dolores! Another achievement was the use of as¬ signment cards which were printed by Mr. Imbery and the printing club. Other students now walking around with a few grey hairs which were obtained in carrying out their duties as sub-editors are: News Dolores Mann Features Leona Ritter Girls ' Sports Bernice McEachern Boys ' Sports Ian Bonnor Fashions Ruth Cochrane, Randy Lorenz Exchange Elizabeth Koswin Business Manager . Allan Kernechuk assisted by Jchnny Johnson Pictures -- Mr. Campbell and the Camera Club Staff Advisors . Mr. Bell, Miss Kir- patrick We wish to congratulate and to thank our advisors and all the students who knocked themselves cut to produce such a fine paper. By this time next year, another group will have taken over the responsibilities and consequently our Deadline headaches and nightmares. Best of Luck DUNCAN ' S CORNER DRUG STORE DEWDNEY AVE.

Most mem¬ bers have completed basic training in print¬ ing and developing, with a number com¬ pleting their enlarging section. The members this year have taken on the project of supplying all pictures for the Bal¬ forum, and the group and activity pictures for the Beacon. This project was made pos¬ sible by the purchase of a press camera by the S.R.C. Evening programs were held every month. The programs this year included a display and talk on buying cameras, special slide showings, demonstration on printing techni¬ ques, and a speaker on press photography. Other activites this year included a photo contest, sale of candid shots, and assisting the Drama Club in lighting effects for their production. President . .. Alvin Schaffer Secretary-Treasurer ....

(led Cnxi4A, Gluh The High School Red Cross Club had its first meeting of the term in September with the following officers in charge: President Don Chapman Vice-Pres. John Johnson Sec. Treas. Ruth Misskey Staff Advisor Miss Felske Among the activities that the Balfour Red Cross students did this year were visiting the Junior Red Cross ward of the General Hospital, entertaining at Byron Gate Even¬ tide Home and the Home for the Blind. In March, we assisted the Senior Red Cross with distributing campaign material and checking coats at Blood Donor Clinics. Also, we have helped at the Red Cross Head¬ quarters with filing, and assembling material to be sent to all schools in Saskatchewan. Articles ready for sewing were taken home by the girls and returned completed to Miss Lawrence to be sent to needy chil¬ dren. Candy, and cokes were sold on drama operetta and variety night. By request coffee and cookies were sold to night school stu¬ dents and at the teacher ' s meeting held at Tech. The Home Nursing Course given by the Red Cross Nurse, Mrs. Donnelly is very popular with the tech students that are enrolled. Last year, with the money from the charity bazaar, we donated one hundred dollars to a Korean Boys ' school and over a hundred to the Junior Red Cross Hospital, now are looking for two young people to send to the Red Cross Leadership Training camp at Fort Qu ' Appelle. These people must be conscientious and dependable, and be a leader in our club next year. The inter-collegiate High School Red Cross Council holds a monthly meeting com¬ prised of three or four members from each school. This years president is Glenn Clark. The meeting is preceded by a supper, that each school takes turns providing. At the meeting we discuss problems and activities in our clubs. This meeting is under the direction of Miss Lawrence, Public and High School director for Saskatchewan. There is a Red Cross meeting in our school held every second Monday. We cor¬ dially invite any students who are interested in Junior Red Cross work to take part in helping others. 50 Balfour Beacon ' 58

Public SjCLCcJUtUf Glub Three students participated in the annual Bryant Contest. Joe Derzaph, a Grade Nine student, discussed Communism. He very ably compared the philosophies of commun¬ ism and of democracy. Gary McMurchie, a Grade Eleven student, gave an excellent talk on The United Nations. Since he had attended a seminar on the United Nations, he was able to give his speech a little addi¬ tional fire. Joe Weinberger, another Grade Eleven student, entertained his audi¬ ence with Space Travel. He gave the stu¬ dents present a glimpse into the world of 2000 A.D. The judges gave the award to Joe Weinberger because his speech was some¬ what more dynamic than the other two speeches. The semi-finals were held in Sheldon Williams on February 14. Although Joe did not win, he upheld Balfour ' s reputation in oratory very well indeed. As interest in public speaking is practi¬ cally extinct, new methods of promoting student participation will have to be plan¬ ned. Miss Kirkpatrick and Mr. Heinricks would be pleased to hear suggestions from interested students. Meet your Friends at DRAKE HOTEL BARBER SHOP Basement of Drake Hotel FRANCIS DUPERON, Mgr.

Organized workshops of lighting, stage¬ craft, costumes, speech training and im¬ provisations were conducted by students who have studied at the Saskatchewan Arts Board Drama summer workshops. Last year ' s winners were Sheila LaFleur and Glenn Clark. On December 6 and 7 the Drama Club put on four one-act plays. The first one was War of the Satellites, an original play which takes place in Regina a ' few years ' from today; She Loves Him Yes, which consisted of a large cast; The Laughing Ghost, was a mystery-comedy and a serious play, called The Finger of God. Mrs. James, Drama Consultant for the Saskatche¬ wan Arts Board talked to us about the plays and highly praised the drama night. This year we had the honour of being asked to put on a play for Stairs For Stars in February. The play that was chosen was War of the Satellites. In March the drama club is to put on the play The Only Way, a short version of The Tale of Two Cities directed by Gene Popovici. DRS. smith McGregor DENTISTS 412 Medical and Dental Bldg.

Jle tytiancGiA, Salut a vous, mes eleves. Void notre programme: ' lei—le francais ' — If you turn on the radio at 2:1 5 any Monday after¬ noon from the beginning of October to the end of May, this is what you would likely hear coming over the air waves. No, it is not the Gravelbourg French Station broadcasting —-it is CBK Regina. What you may not know is that two tal¬ ented girls from Balfour Technical School are being heard every week on that pro¬ gramme. These girls are our versatile Hilda Iberer, and our sweet songstress, Marlene Euteneier. This is the third year that Hilda has been playing the role of ' Marie ' in the Grade Ten CBC French instruction series: lei—le francais. This is the second year that Marlene has been ' Marlene ' in the Grade Nine cast of the same series. Miss Marilda Clermont writes the scripts for the programmes. These broadcasts are under the auspices of the Department of Education and they aim to help students in small schools acquire a speaking knowledge of French. Miss Gert¬ rude Murray is the supervisor of the series, while Mr. David Cruikshanks of CBK is the studio director. Hilda and Marlene enjoy their radio work and find it a valuable experience. Congratu¬ lations, girls! Continuez a parler frangais! 52 Balfour Beacon ' 58
