'EQ' F 'H At Balmoral Hall, our objective is to guide each girl to realize her maximum intellectual, physical, and moral growth through a well supervised and demanding curriculum. Our guiding principle is balance. This is achieved through high academic standards coupled with a healthy empha- sis on physical education and extracurricular activities. The buildings of Balmoral Hall are ideally located on eight acres of land near the heart of Winnipeg on the banks of the Assiniboine River. For prospectus and information. contact: Mr. R.

As I am sure was especially evident this year, our school is infinitely more than buildings full of classrooms. It is up to each individual to reap the many benefits which are offered, but the true reward, a love for Balmoral Hall, can be gained only through involvement on the part of students, staff, parents, and friends of the school. Give it all you've got! The doors which will be opened for you are endless. . The year began with a general feeling of curiousity and expectation, and true to our motto, Meliora Petens - Seek- ing Better Things, it developed into ten months of hard work and great fun. Optima Anni has attempted to illustrate the best of the 1973-74 year. If, in the future, these pages help to spark the memories of those who shared in some aspect of school life, we will have achieved our goal. Many thanks to Mrs. Kenney for her invaluable assistance, and to the emergency lake staff, for their Saturday morn- ing.

A new school, a different type of school, a new home, a new city. All of these changes faced us last summer as we left our for- mer school and ventured across the country to Balmoral Hall. We were all very excited at the prospect of the challenges that lay ahead and the many changes waiting for us. I do not be- lieve we have been in any way disappointed and indeed, looking back over the year it has been a wonderful experience for all of us. We are really looking forward to the years ahead. At this time I would like to direct a few words to the members of our Graduating Class. High school graduation is, in a way, analogous to being born. You leave a warm, secure and comparatively comfortable place and enter out into the competitive, fast changing and quite uncertain world of the seventies. But how fortunate you are! F irstly, you just happen to be Canadians. This of course, is a fact that we all too often take for granted. The opportun- ities that lie ahead, in order to meet the challenges of our fast moving society, today's wom- an must possess the inner strength and self confidence which are products of a quality education, together with a motivation to achieve. We whom you have left behind at B. I-I. will be watching your progress closely. We are convinced that you have received a fine education to this point. It is up to each of you to provide the goal-directed motivation necessary in order to take advantage of it, and hence con- tinue your personal development. Now go get 'em gitlsl Set high objectives for yourselves, the highest standards possible in all things. At the same time, try to remember a phrase from Desiderata - Go placidly amid the noise and haste. Good luck to you, and good fortune. R. Martin Kenney, Headmaster. 1754+ The Industrial Revolution again. . . 1 Bon! IT ALL CCDMES DOWN TO PEGPLE... s f 4, ,1 X i ,gi W3 :fi 11' Mr. Mrs . Mrs . Mrs . Mrs . Mrs .

With a student-teacher ratio of ten to one, the relationship between the two groups is very intense. More time is spent with the individual student to develop her potential. This year has brought many changes, some were drastic, others not. The girls suddenly realized they couldn't adjust their kilts in the halls without knowing the whereabouts of the Headmaster! The shuffling of timetables left time at the end of the day to enjoy sports and activities. Choir, bridge, chess, and art were not always favourites of everyone, but in the. end proved to be successful with a large percentage of girls. One change that many girls took advantage of was the addition to the uniform of Hunting McLean tartan pants. fThose winter months could be chilly U Our social events were few but well attended. Time and effort was evident for each and every function. The Christmas Dance set the mood for the Holidays. Grade Tens did a great job! Both the Senior and Junior School Choirs made a tremendous contribution to the Carol Service and the Closing Exercises. The May Day programme involved many people - the overwhelming results showed it. Grade Elevens spent many hours working on the Graduation Dinner! Dance. The Grade Twelves will never be able to show their complete appreciation. There were other events that shouldn't be forgotten: Initiation, Spirit Day, Coffee Houses, and last but NOT least, the two sets of compulsory exams! These activities, and many other small ones, will remind us of our unforgettable school days at B. H. May these words from my Valedictory Address remind you of the Grads of '74 and how we feel leaving a school like Balmoral Hall. Today is a special occasion for the Graduating Class of 1974. It marks the end of twelve years of study, and the beginning of a whole new world, for we are entering our surrounding society as young, responsible adults. But today, another significance - this is the last time we will assemble as part of the student body of Balmoral Hall. Many of us may never see each other again, but we will always remember the times of work and fun no matter how hard or pleasant. It is hard for us, the members of the Graduating Class, to leave B. H. which has become in essence, a part of our lives. We hope that we're leaving behind us some small contribution in return for the many things this school has given us. It has given us experience in life, friendship, and memories we will always cherish. Our teachers and parents have played an important role in preparing us for the future. They have helped us find a place in this changing, complex world. They have helped us to make some of our greatest decisions and to reach our goals. To these important people we extend our warmest and most heartfelt thanks and our hopes that we will some day make them even more proud of us. Good-bye is never an easy thing to say - especially when saying it to friends and to a place that has been such a part of each of us. An elderly man once said to me that good-bye meant forever, so to you all, I say so-long and thank you. It isn't a question of what you've done But what you intend to do, For records past, can't always last. And they'll not carry you through. Resolve and try to improve yourself Replace old laurels with new. It isn't a question of what you've done But what you intend to do!

You seldom see or hear about the things she does, but in her own quiet way she is as necessary as a right arm for a left, if you happen to be left-handedh. Fiona capably filled the position of President of the Grade XII Class. Our thanks to Fiona for hostessing a fantastic after-grad' party. Fiona plans to travel for a year or two while she decides which walk in life she intends to follow. MARGO CAMERON '72-'74 Margo, Head of Glen Gairn House, drove down from The Pas two years ago and decided to complete her secondary schooling at B. H. Residence wouldn't have been the same without Mags. She introduced a very descriptive phrase for the purpose of temporarily relieving your anxieties .. . . A-H-H-H-H-H-H . There, you feel better already! Margo's biggest problem was keeping her hair clean. Due to its length, it took days to complete the wash and dry cycle! As well, she was constantly in danger of tripping over it. ln the fall of '74, Margo plans to attend the University of Winnipeg where she will study Social Work. AURORA DOKKEN '74 You can't miss Rory from Melfort, Saskatchewan, with her striking auburn hair or her deceptively strong singing voice. Rory 's contributions and accom- plishments at B. H. were remarkable in the five months she attended the school. The choir will have a large gap to fill next year without her voice. Rory's musical ability and versatility never ceased to amaze us. It was al- ways a treat - tonight, pianog tomorrow, french horn, guitar, banjo, recorder, or maybe a song. Rory plans to study music at the University of Saskatchewan. In the future, don't be surprised to find yourself waiting in line to hear her perform while proudly announcing, I went to school with that girl! . GEORGIA LOVE '73-'74 Georgia has to be the hardest person to see eye to eye with not only be- cause of her 5'3 height, but because her artistic eye seems to grasp more meaning out of ordinary fruit bowls than just bananas and oranges! It's not surprising to walk into Georgia's room and find yourself in the midst of what seems to be a jungle. Her love for plants becomes obvious as you find her stroking their leaves and cooing to them. Georgia will tell you that plants grow better with a little love. Georgia, Vice-President of the Grade XII Class, contributed much of her talent to B. H. this year in the way of the excellent art work done for posters, programmes, and, especially, for Optima Anni '74, Georgia plans to study Fine Arts at the University of Manitoba next year. T DAWN STEPHEN '70-'74 Dawn came from Dauphin four years ago bringing us a jovial personality and good, common sense which later became essential qualities in making her a Head Girl to remember. Dawn could be counted on to hear out your grievances and her quick de- cisiveness was often the necessary bridge to calmer waters. Dawn helped us through the more turbulent times and made all the good times even better. Dawn plans to share her healing ways by studying at the Health Sciences Centre School of Nursing. SIGNY STEWART '60-'74 Signy, a Winnipeg girl, came to Balmoral Hall four years ago? No, seven years ago? Wrong again - try fourteen years ago! That's a long time but these years have really paid off. Quiet and loyal, our School Captain could be found at any B. H. function and usually up front and in the action. When Signy was not involved in some function, she was working on the yearbook, singing in the Choir, or perhaps involved in running a Junior School House activity. lt is not uncommon to get a postcard from Signy with a French or Spanish stamp on it as she enjoyed several trips to Europe during her school vacations. Next year, the Faculty of Commerce at Queen's University will roll out the red carpet for Signy, our Manitoba Scholarship Award winner. MARNIE STOVEL '71-'74 Marnie came to B. H. three years ago armed with a stack of records and a cheery smile. Originally from Alberta, Marnie's home is now in Colorado. Residential students will best remember Marnie for complete involvement not in residence but at the dinner table! Don't bother trying to start a conver- sation with her at the table least you disturb the delicate concentration waves that bounce from Marnie to her food. As Ballater House Head for two consecutive years, Marnie could be found cheering from the sidelines adorned in her bloomers and white shirt. After all bloomers almost look like shorts, don't they? Marnie plans to travel for awhile before enrolling at the University of Colorado in Denver. Valedictory Address REMEMBER. . . Lynne'll do it! the many poster nights the Y. W. C.

It's made from old tumbledown stones and has a guest room for my next victim. My best friend comes from the cave beside my house.. My friend gets very excited when I have somone over for the night, and sometimes he gets so excited that he tumbles down the rickety, old stairs. I have a dungeon downstairs that I put all the bones into . I eat all the meat and drink all the blood. In my long doorless hall- way Cwell, not totally doorless, there's a door at each end and one big spooky attic doorj, I have my man-eating.. and lady-eating plant. . Oh! One more thing about my house. It has another dungeon which I call my storage room for guests. I sleep in the tower. Can you guess what my house is?

As I trudged onwards, I felt strangely warm amidst the cold winter WAR wonderland - Ah, it was the fires. . I felt a shiver run down my frame and was cold - there were people, old blind men and children, running from the fires amidst the smell of burning flesh, and I saw more red snow. . .

Suzanne Shephard, Grade 11 THE WINTER MOON The winter moon is big and bright, And shines while you 're asleep at night. It has a silver and radiant glow, Casting eerie shadows o'er the snow. I like to think it's there at night, In case that I should wake in fright. I like to look at it for hours, And stand right under its radiant showers. The winter moon is big and bright, Look in the sky, it's there tonight! Teresa English, Grade 5 DA YS Sunday is the religious day, And people go to church that day.

Roy Mclqe and P .D . Eastman Banu Berker, Grade '7 THE SNOWY DAY One day when I was Walking down the street watching the snowflakes fall, up came a big blizzard. My hat flew off and then my scarf unrolled and went flying off. My jacket came undone and flew off. But I was smart that time, I caught it! Then the wind blew me away, right up to a cloud. I saw a snow table and a snow teapot. I even saw ice water for cream, and frost sugar lumps. In came the Snow Queen andlack Frost, who came with his son and daughter, the Snow Princess and Peter Frost who never came down from the cloud. I went to the Snow Queen and kissed her hand, and guess what happened! I froze my lips! Then the Snow Princess handed me a cup of snow tea. By that time my lips were unfrozen, but when I took a sip of the tea my tongue froze, so I was really in bad shape. Then they gave me a snow bathtub to Wash in, so I had a bath and my body got frozen, too. Then my legs, arms, and last of all, my face, toes, and feet got covered. Then they crowned me Sister Beauty. Now go off and play While I speak to Sister Beauty, said the Snow Queen. So the queen began, You will go back to your parents at summertime. Mama was worrying down on the earth. She called the police. Have you seen a little girl about four feet high, blonde hair, looks like Dracula, about forty-five pounds, wearing a jacket, a red hat, mittens and purple boots? No, we have not, Ma'am, but we'll send out a squad car to look for her. Thank you, said Mama. In the cloud above, the Snow Queen was looking for all her children, not just one. Soon she found us playing in a snow mud puddle, and she was relieved Cbut Mama wasn'tJ. Then it was lunchtime and we had snow sandwiches, but I didn't like them sol stuck them in the wall. Then we went to play again and we were lost, just like before, but this time we were climbing a tree, so again the Snow Queen was relieved except this time she said, Next time you tell me where you are going. Oh boy! ' we said, and started to climb the tree again, but fell down. Jack almost fell to a thousand pieces be- cause he was made of snow. In one week it would be summer, so we had to spend the last week doing something special instead of just doing anything. So we decided we would go to the snow store and buy some snow '7-Up, snow Grape Crush, and, last of all, 3 pound of snow Coke. But first we would have to sneak fifteen dollars out of their piggy banks. We got the piggy banks and had just enough money. Thenl went to 'Mom' and 'Dad' and said I was coming back every winter and then I floated down to my house and lived happily ever after. Robin MacAulay, Grade 3 SOMEWI-IERE Somewhere, anywhere! I'm looking for someone, Someone to care. I look down the lane But there is nobody there No one! I am so tired But I want to get away, Away from this unhappy Miserable day! Vicki Guy, Grade 7 mis . si 41 THE BIRD The bird is free and spirited, It soars high and low. Then why, why, why should We not let it go? Sheila Buchanan, Grade '7 SNOWSTORM The wind whistled in my ears, the snow was blinding. I could see only a few feet ahead of me but we pushed on, my brother and I. We had been down to the river to see if the ice was strong enough for him to walk on the next day. When we were on our way back, a big storm started to brew. Then all of a sudden it broke, and the snow went everywhere. The wind started to die down after fifteen minutes of blizzard. I asked my brother if he had any idea where we were. After a minute's thought he told me that he didn't. The wind started to howl again. All of a sudden a big gust came, knocking us off our feet. As I- wasrgetting up, I noticed a light in the distance. My brother noticed it too, and suggested that we walk towards it. ' After half an hour's walk we reached a little farmhouse. Boy, were we ever glad to see civilization again! I never knew a light meant so much to me. Margaret Haworth, Grade '7 PUPPY The little lump was fast asleep, Curled in a blanket, snuggled deep. His tummy pumping gently up and down, His tiny head propped on master's toy clown. Mother peeped in, and there they both were, Baby's closed hand, clutching puppy's warm fur. She tip-toed softly across the floor, Leaving them sleeping a few minutes more. Heather Brown, Grade ll ALONE WITH NATURE The wind has a soft and gentle breeze, The birds are singing sweetly. The sun is shining brightly, And here I am as happy as can be. The bees are very busy, Grasshoppers are shooting out of the grass. The flowers are very pretty, And here l am amongst the wilderness.

It was a new and strange feeling. t , ' The old man glanced around and saw that no one was coming. He then realized he had a- talk to his new friend before her buddies would come and tear her away. To him, .she was-ga, young and useful again. She sat, nervously pulling at her dress, through long, drawn out silences, The idea of a friend excited him as he was able to get out only a few- times, and even anyone came and talked to him. He wondered why. He always sat in the same place - the old bench nearest the water fountain and shadedc arij to hurry in order to get there early enough. He always figured it would be a popular spot, but for it. He always ended up sitting there alone. Just the same, he liked to hurry, just in case, because the brightness of the day's sun burned his eyes, but here, the elm tree :shaded him, and the park, he figured lots of them would be thirsty and might go for a drink, and .then maybe on the bench because it was so close. Then he would have someone to talk to..' Lots of people, sometimes, if it was really hot, there would even be a small line-up, just 'for awhile: then He kept hoping though that maybe one, of all those people, would say hello. But they never even smiled. I better go now Mister: my friends are coming. He followed her glance and saw it was true. A small group of young children were waving He then realized that he must have dozed off, 'for he had so much to say and there was no enough time for anything any more. Everything went so fast.

Alix MacAu1ay, Grade 4 Jennifer Reid Grade 10 CATS Cats are so fluffy and furry, And when they see mice they scurry. Cats are so tiny and sweet, And they like fish to eat. Cats are afraid of dogs, So they like to climb up logs. Cats like to run after yarn balls, And chase mice down the halls. Sometimes they bump into walls . Cats have very soft paws, But I wish it was against the laws To scratch me with their claws. Cats are very clean, But sometimes can be mean. Sometimes cats run away, And don't come home that day. Cats can climb a tree, And that is fun to see. It is hard to race, Compared to a cat's pace. Cats are my second best friends, And here my poem ends! Margaret Edwards, Grade 5 There once was a cat named Fred Who slipped and fell on his head He got up in a flash To avoid the big crash, And then he hopped bac k into bed' Michele Gillespie Grade '7 MY LIFE My life is like a circle on a ball.

Susan Hollo, Grade 6 4 BEDTIME STORY When I was just a little boy, a little boy of three, I used to listen fascinated, upon my father's knee: To stories told of olden days, in Daddy's private den. Ones I used to listen to, o'er and o'er again. After these stories were finished, I'd be hurried off to bed. There, I'd quietly doze and dream of oases where camels fed: Where palm trees grew, shading, trains of endless lengths And Ali Baba with his thieves, a great and mighty strength. In the morning when I woke, the sun would end these dreams, Leaving me disappointed, with unaccomplished schemes. No more would I be holding the magical genie's lamp, Or soaring on flying carpets, through caves of dark and damp. Although as I grew older, Father told his tales no more, I used to remember these stories of glorious Arabian lore. For to keep these fanciful ventures within my memory, Would one day be priceless enjoyment for a little boy of three.

All the girls have done their own 'on the spot' designing - choosing their own materials and methods. They have learned to judge their own work and enjoy the results. To an outsider, the room in which we gathered must have appeared chaotic as we surrounded ourselves with multitudes of coloured threads of many textures. Several fibre crafts were being created at the same time. We are quite convinced that this vibrant mass of col- our and relaxed approach is the right one for the stimulat- ing atmosphere which has produced spectacular works of fibre art. 1 DOUBLE ANYONE? With shouts of You can't bid that, I was planning to , Why did you trump that card, I wanted to take that trick! How much more do we need ? , and I can't remember what's out , the B.H. Bridge Club sounded like any group of bridge players anywhere - anytime! The members deserve congratulations because many of the hands played by our faithful 'two tables' were dis- patched with considerable skill. The highlight of the club's year was the bridge 'first' fhonoured by all bridge players since the beginning of bridge-playingj won by Vickie Guy the day she both 'bid ' and 'made' seven spades! Well done Vickie, and congratulations to all mem- bers of the club. May you all go on to more and more bridge fame.

THE PHOTOGRAPHY CLUB This year the eye of the camera was introduced to twenty girls in three different sessions. Basic darkroom techniques were introduced, and each girl was given the opportunity to take pictures, develop negatives, and make photographs from their favourite contact print. The size of the group was small each time, to ensure maximum time for each girl to use the enlarger. Photograms and portraits were made with an emphasis on composition and pleasing arrangements of shapes. We all enjoyed experi- menting with unusual shots around the school grounds.

Lawrence's Rocking-Horse Winner . Although all of the cast and all of the production crew eserve hearty congratulations, a very special vote of hanks goes to Elizabeth Cherewan, Elizabeth was not 'nly Production Manager in addition to playing the role if Hester, but she assisted the Director in every possible ray to ensure the success of this production. JUNIOR DRAMA CLUB The notorious Toad of Toad Hall has been tried and found guilty of a three-fold charge - car theft. reckless driving, and gross impertinence to the constabulary. Several obstacles delayed the course of justice. First, the incorrigible rogue was briefly misplaced in the court- room. Next, the credibility and identity of one juror, Rabbit, was questioned by Ratty. The latter forcefully declared the aforesaid Rabbit to be a weasel, who was saying he was not, because he was. Beginning the trial anew, the competent Judge took command of the situation, assisted by an objective An- nouncer. The dreadful evidence presented by the Con- stable was examined with dismay. Rubbish! , cried Toad. The impassioned pleadings of Badger failed to save the culprit. He was doomed. Singing his own praises, the condemned Mr. Toad was led away to the dungeon. The cast worked well together in preparing this drama Occasionally, Ratty and Judge had comical variations of their repartees. Badger, Policeman, and Rabbit intro- duced unexpected humour to their roles, and Toad had the whole cast in laughter. The Announcer rescued all who forgot their cues. It was a happy, successful club. Our sincere appreciation is extended to Leslie Kon- antz for her imaginative make-up assistance, and to Laurie Hawkes and Sosan Masih for their help with cos- tumes. JUNIOR SCHOOL DRAMA CLUB Every Wednesday afternoon, an enthusiastic group of young actresses met in the library of Junior School. For one hour they became the characters of their imaginations, and we have witnessed such scenes as the destruction of the wolf and the triumph of the Three Little Pigs, the awakening of Sleeping Beauty, Goldilocks fleeing the house of the Three Bears, and Mother Hubbard coping with her hundreds of children. The Junior School Drama Club's major production was The Robots by Deborah Newman. This is the story of Agatha and Henry Eollansbee. Agatha is the nagging wife who constantly berates her inventor husband, Henry, until the day when Henry proves his worth and has the last laugh. The enthusiasm and hard work which the girls have put into their drama club has been exceptional. I have thoroughly enjoyed working with this year's drama club. Miss A. Wiens THE FOOTBALL CLUB During the spring term, the Grade Seven class asked the undersigned to teach them something about the game of Canadian Football. I immediately agreed to do so, as having observed this particular group of girls throughout the course of the school year, I was well aware of the fact that such an activity might possibly be useful in burning off their excess energy! We commenced the series of Tuesday afternoon Club meetings with a chalk-talk in one of our classrooms at which I attempted to describe the basic objectives and rules of the game. I feel that some of the girls felt that the whole rule structure was unreasonably complicated and unnecessary and were most anxious to get on with the game itself, and to forget about the basic objectives and rules involved. When we got outside on the playing field, it was immediately obvious that the Blue Bombers had little to fear! A great deal of effort was extended without, I am afraid, very exciting results. For instance, we spent some thirty minutes practising catching the football on the run. I recall approximately three successful completions during that period of time. I must confess I found the whole experience most enjoyable and in spite of their lack of skill, the girls, I believe, also had a very good time. I must point out that at least three of the girls present would be able to make any age group House League Team in the city. They can really move and they handle the football surprisingly well! Next year perhaps we will take the whole thing a little more seriously Cwithout tackling and blocking, of coursej. They are a very enthusiastic and energetic group. R. M. K. GUITAR CLUB MEMBERS: Jane Greene, Joni Pollock, Barbara Schmidt, Margaret Stewart, Lisa Wasson. I have been instructing a small group of girls in the Junior School in the art of accompanying oneself on a guitar while singing various folksongs. Before starting to play, the girls learned to tune a guitar. They then began leaming some basic chords needed for accompaniment. They learned simple chords first and gradually advanced to the more difficult forms. Each of the girls worked diligently in class and were able to keep up with each other. The early songs we learned were very old folk songs such as Oh, Dear, What Can the Matter Be? and Bi1ly Boy . Later on we tried more modern tunes such as He's Got the Whole World in His Hands and They Know We Are Christians. In future classes, we will continue to build our re- petoire and hopefully will make the opportunity to per- form our work. Miss V. Sm ith SENIOR SCHOOL CHORAL SOCIETY The Senior School Choral Society met as a club each Tuesday all through the year. Though our numbers have been small, about fifteen regulars fand a few strayslj, we have worked diligently to produce a good sound - and our sound did show improvement as time went by. Contemporary carols were mixed with traditional ones for the Christmas Carol Service and our group helped to enhance the festive decorations leading the processional of school students into the hall by candlelight, wearing colourful, full length gowns. Music selected for May Day celebrations included a May Day Carol arranged by Deems Taylor, and three favourites from The Sound of Music. For the final term, the choir prepared music for Awards Day and June Closing with emphasis on an Anthem of the graduates own choosing. B. Honey THE ART CLUB The Art Club began this year with enthusiasm with Mr. Louis Bako, an artist and designer of children's playground equipment, as instructor for a brief period of time. After Christmas, Mrs. Murie Wilson from the Art Forum gave a print-making workshop. Techniques such as monoprinting, linoprinting, and printing with card- board and random objects were introduced. Mrs. Chapman, a ceramicist, was the third instructor and she presented a fascinating session on the use of clay through handbuilding. We hope to continue this format next year. Talented artists from the community will be invited to run short- duration workshops in their specialties for interested girls. G.

HOUSE HEADS Edith McPhedran, Craig Gowan: Margo Cameron, Glen Gaim: Marnie Stovel, Ballater: Suzanne Shephard, Braerner SPORTS REPORT There were many changes this year in the sports activities at Balmoral Hall School. To begin with, the intra-mural House sports programme was compulsory. Two afternoons each week between three and four P. M. , Mrs. Evans admin- istered the intra-mural sports programme with the assistance of the House Heads. Although some of the girls were not too keen on the idea of compulsory sports at the beginning of the school year, after they got involved in the programme their attitudes seemed to become far more positive. ln school sports, four teams represented Balmoral Hall in City League play. The Junior Girls' Volleyball Team proved to be the most successful and won their division championship. It seems that this was a first for B.H. The Senior Volleyball Team did quite well but never seemed to quite realize their potential. ln basketball, the two teams reversed their standings in League play in that the Junior Basketball Team did not quite make the play-offs whereas the Senior Basketball Team forced St. Mary's in the finals to three games in a very exciting championship series. I Next year, our sports programme will evidently be just as involved with the addition of more ski days in the winter which will be readily and happily received by all! We were all very sorry to see Mrs. Evans leave the staff as she has been a very hard working and enthusiastic support- er of all our athletic events and activities and she will be sorely missed. Good luck to her in P. E. I. . . . . and Sports Captain! BACK ROW: E. Buchanan, J. Reid, D. Salter, E. Cherewan. FRONT ROW: E. Connellan, J. Dennis, E. McPhedran, Captain, C. Munro. SENIOR BASKETBALL TEAM The Senior Basketball Team, coached by Georgina Perkins, a University of Manitoba Physical Education student, did very well indeed this past season. The girls made vast strides not only with regard to their own personal skills but in the area of team play. The team's 'esprit de corps' built steadily throughout the season reaching its peak in the second play-off game against Sr. Mary's during the league finals. This game was a real thriller resulting in a last second victory for B. H. All of the girls on this team are to be congratulated for their never say die attitude. Once again, they were playing against schools with very great student populations and acquitted themselves very well, indeed. As most of the players on this team will be retuming next year, we should have a very good chance for a championship season! JUNIOR BASKETBALL TEAM The Junior High School Bas- ketball Team fGrades 7 gc 87 got off to a rather slow start but im- proved their skills a very great deal throughout the course of the season. This age group was coached by Mr. John Lim who had achieved such a great deal with them during the volleyball season. As most ofthe girls had never played basketball before, they had a great deal of catching up to do. As in volleyball, the is girls had to compete with schools D that had many more students, such as St. Mary's Academy. lt was very rewarding, however. 1 to see the improvement in both individual skills and team play as the season unfolded. At the end of the regular season, the team barely missed making the play-offs. We look for great things in 1974-'75 from our Junior Basket- ball Team. B.H.

Signy Stewart, Georgia Love, Aurora Dokken Dear Graduates, It was indeed an honour and a thrill for me to speak to you at your Closing Exercises in June, 1974. I now leave with you my thoughts of that day and hope you are able to find in them the strength they have given me. I remember well my feelings on my graduation day, seven years earlier. I was nervous, excited, a bit apprehensive, but mostly, just so keen and eager to get on with my life and to see what could be done! I am not yet finished doing this but through it all I have found what to me has been a most important aspect and it is this I wanted to share with you on your special day. Basically it concerns your role as a person, your development as a person and your personal fulfill- ment and enrichment as a being in the hum-drum and bustle of the world today. How is this done? Opportunities for women today are endless and the scope is widening all the time. Women are realizing that they too must have a meaning and a purpose to their lives, they too need challenges, rewards and compen- sation. This is not necessarily measured in terms of a careerg the activity itself is the important thing. For some it may mean volunteer workg for some the pursuit of a careerg for others raising a family or even prolonged education. But whatever direction is chosen, women are more and more looking for something which offers them personal growth and satisfaction. ' Now I feel the approach taken by women to the direction chosen is most important. I have found more satisfaction when the situation is approached firstly as a person and secondly as a woman. To approach strictly as a woman seems to impose artificial barriers and restrictions on what can be done. To approach as a person increases the possibilities, the horizons and the parameter of your being. I am not asking you to deny your femininity. But as your person grows, so will your womanness grow and your feminimity will flow freely from your person. One hint I have discovered is that in your approach, try not to define for yourself boundaries that are too rigid. Leave room for experimentation. Rigid guidelines may be difficult to cross in the future, even if you want to do so. As Piet Hein said in BROOKS I in his poem entitled On Problems : Our choicest plans have fallen through Our airiest castles tumbled over Because of lines we neatly drew And later neatly stumbled over. So try not to lock yourself in within the direction chosen. Leave yourself open for expansion. You may well ask now what to do if you are not yet aware of what direction you want to take. Many of us still ask ourselves that question! Try however to have confidence in your not knowingness , confidence that somewhere within your struggle there is a beginning and look upon it all as a new opportunity for understanding. Keep searching and keep trying as it is only then that your potential will be realized and within the apparent complexities of your struggle, try to visualize the simplicities. It makes the handling of it all that much easier! What about your role as a person in the labour force? Gone today is the 9:00 to 5:00 work ethic where a job was look- ed upon simply as a position in an institutionalized setting termed the labour market. Today, persons are searching for positions that are personally fulfilling, personally rewarding and expanding, and ones offering unfolding experiences designed to develop the individual. As a female in the labour force, you too can achieve these positions. Your person is as valid as any other person! Never undersell yourself, rather have confidence in your person and what you have to offer. How does Balmoral Hall fit into all this? I truly feel Balmoral has given you the confidence necessary to push ahead in your development as a person. Balmoral offers an arena for personal growth and expansion, and for realization of your potential, capabilities, and even your limitations. The leadership opportunities are invaluable and the clubs most recently formed are ideal forums allowing freedom of personal creativity and expression. I also feel you have been most fortunate in having Martin Kenney as your Headmaster, simply because of his enthu- siasm for each of your well being and his sincere dedication to the promotion of each of you as an individual. Your graduation day was an exciting and special time for you all. I am sure you leave the school with many mem- ories. I, too, have many and they are the ones I will always cherish. As you leave Balmoral, you now enter a new chapter of your life. I see you taking with you a basic tool kit of all the skills you have gained at the school and with the knowledge that all those tools and skills work. The batteries are running and you know how to operate them! And you know how to operate them to expand your horizons, to fulfill your potential and to enrich your person. As Neitche said, lf you have your own why, you can live any how. Si vous avez votre connaissance, vous pouves vivre n'importe quoi. So, good luck, girls - in whatever direction you choose. The opportunities are endless and you have an exciting time before you. Tackle it with confidence, and with a smile, and go show what your person has to offer! Jean Riley '56-'67 Guest Speaker Closing Exercises 'niibwnsqun an . Q -, 4- .rf sv if ALUMNAE TEA FOR THE GRADUATES Ax The school year came to a very pleasant close when .iv the Headmaster and Mrs. Kenney entertained the Grad- uating Class of 1974 and their mothers to tea on June llth. It was a pleasure to welcome Miss Murrell-Wright. who was visiting the School to present prizes and diplomas at the Closing, speaking then of her pride in the school, her love for it, and her faith in its future. Mrs. Martin Ainley, an Old Girl of both Rupert's Land and Balmoral Hall Schools, presented engraved coffee spoons to each graduate urging them to give loyalty and support to the Altunnae Association and to keep in touch with their School. The group then gathered around a specially pre- pared cement plaque to sign there a permanent record for 1974. Miss F. B. Sharman GMW RETURNS On June llth, we welcomed Miss G. Murrell-Wright, the first Head mistress of Balmoral Hall School, who arrived just in time to greet the 1974 Graduates and their Mothers at the Annual Altunnae Tea. On the invitation of Mr. Kenney and the Graduating Class, Miss Murrell-Wirght had been asked to present the prizes at Closing Exercises and say a few words to the girls. Ever to the point, with a wisdom based on long experience with students and staff, Miss Murrell-Wright spoke quietly and kindly to the Graduates and School as a whole, and then graciously shook hands with each student presented to her. It was good to see her again. She hasn't changed in appearance, knowledge, or wit and her total recall of students and incidents long past was refreshing to hear. f Thank you for coming, Miss M. W. It was our pleasure and good fortune. 5 t D. R. NOTES FROM THE MOTHER'S AUXILIARY The first project undertaken this year by the Auxiliary was for outdoor playgrotmd equipment. With the assistance of our parents by their generous donations of their October Family Allowance cheques, we were able to purchase two items which will serve as a framework for a creative children's area. The first is a large log fortfclimber per- manently constructed on the grounds, covering an area of approximately 150 square feet. The second item is an outdoor climber constructed in varying degrees of shapes and heights thereby offering a challenge to all age groups. Our class get-togethers this year were a great success. These were held in January and offered an excellent oppor- tunity for parents and teachers to get acquainted in an in- formal setting. Our third project this year was the fund raising dinner dance Maytime with Mart Kenney . The Crystal Ball- room at the Marlborough Hotel vibrated with music as Mart Kenney and his famed Western Gentlemen struck up their familiar theme, The West, a Nest, and You, Dear . Five hundred guests danced continuously and even those too young to remember the great music of that era were engulfed in the excitement of the evening. Another claim to fame for our Headmaster - a famous Father whose band has delighted Canadians for nearly forty years - and who has agreed to return next year for a second evening with Mart Kenney.
