Balmoral Junior High School - Crimson Green and White Yearbook (Calgary, Alberta Canada)

Text from Pages 1 - 98 of the 1950 volume:

The Crimson, Green and White 1950 Balmoral Junior High School CALGARY, CANADA This hook is presented at a time when our City of Calgary is celebrat¬ ing its Seventy - fifth Anniversary, having been founded ’way back in 1875. We hope that the graduates of this and succeeding years will help to fill the pages of Calgary’s story. A Message From Your Principal this issue of the Crimson, Green and Gold marks the end of another school term. For those in Grade Nine it marks the completion of your student days in Balmoral Junior High School. By you, particularly, the things recorded here will be treasured in years to come. As memory grows faint, this booklet will recall for you the friends and acquaintances of your Junior High School years. It will recall situations and places that will arouse echoes of happiness, inspiration and regret. There will be recollections of classes and assemblies, of lessons and teachers; of parties and dances, of games and track meets, of tests and grinds, of boy friends and girl friends, and of innumerable, half forgotten happenings. When you lift this rare volume from an old trunk or cupboard and browse through it, you will smile at the old fashioned styles and the youthful faces that look back at you, and you will muse over old times and wonder what has become of all these classmates now. This book will give you many moments of pleasure at unexpected times and each time it does it will be fulfilling its purpose—for that is its mission,—to guard a small but precious part of your life, your Junior High School days, against an untrustworthy memory in a busy world. —H. W. BRYAN. 5 Editorial A MESSAGE FROM PEGGY CRUIKSHANK, 9E EDITOR, BAROMETER, SECOND TERM Dear Fellow Students: It is with a mixed feeling of pleasure and sadness that we bid Balmoral farewell. To most of us I am sure it has been a good year and we have made many good and lasting friends—but of course there is the element of sadness when we realize we must leave our teachers and also the association of some of the students, who no doubt will consider this the end of carefree school life. To the rest of us it is but the beginning of greater and higher achievements. But to all of you I say “Good Luck” and may the future be kind to all of us. From Your Year Book Editor Another school term has rolled by which means vacation time. For Grade IX it is not just vacation but the beginning of a new life. This term students have come from other schools and parts of the country to Balmoral, and have co-operated with the Balmoralites to help make the year very successful. We will not only be leaving Balmoral behind, but numerous friends. However, we will find many more in the future. Without the co-operation of all the students and the teachers, our last year at Balmoral would not have been so successful. —RON AITKEN, 9E. 6 Balmoral Junior High Staff Here is the 1949-50 Staff of Balmoral Junior High School. With extrq teachers for the two additional Grade IX classrooms and some other changes, we confess that some of us are NEW, but affirm that none of us is OLD! Although two or three members of the student body have hobbled around on crutches during some part of the year, the staff continues to demonstrate an agility by dodging lines on the stairs, dancing at the school parties, and getting the lion’s share of the exercise at track meet practices. In the “new’’ group you will notice Mr. Bryan, our principal, who came to us from Mount View School. Miss Ballantyne taught last year at Earl Grey School, and Miss Ramsay at Stanley Jones. Mr. Culley was formerly a member of the Bow View Staff. Mrs. McGimpsey joined us at Christmas¬ time when Miss Barnes, who was also new this school year, left us to get married. The more or less “old-timers” on the staff include Mr. Davidson, Mr. Goddard, Mr. Dann, Mr. Harris, Mr. Baldwin, Miss Williams, Mr. Pallesen, Mr. Russell, Miss Shepherd, Miss Hoskin, Mr. McDonald, Mr. Morrison, Miss Jackson, Miss Quinton and Miss Weston. Mr. Carter and Mr. Hetherington continue to battle valiantly against the inevitable dust and manage to come up smiling in spite of the not so inevitable mud and spilled ink. Two new vice-principals appeared this year to handle the increased junior high class rooms. They are both members of the “old-timers . Miss Weston and Mr. Dann (the latter succeeding Mr. Callbeck). 7 Editorial Executive Forty-one students at Balmoral joined the Editorial Club during the first te m commencing last fall. In the spring term the club included thirty-seven in its roll. A fairly successful year was enjoyed, with four Barometers being published, and now the Year Book. Teacher-sponsor of the club was Mr. Davidson. Ken Middleton, 9F, was editor-in-chief during the first term: Peggy Cruickshank, 9E, during the second. Year Book editor was Ron Aitken, 9E. Other officers during the first term were Peggy MacGregor, 9G, news: Doreen Martini, 9G. girls’ sport; Bob Dahrouge, 8C, boys’ sport; Beverly Tweedle, 8B, humor; Bob Moore, 9F, literary; Barbara Pratt, 8D, art and cartoons; Bill Stewart. 8D, scandal. During the second term other officers were Arlene Jeffery, 9E, features; Jerry Wynne, 9D, literary; Bill Fledley, 9E, library; Arlene Nelson, 9E, art and cartoons; Roy Keith, 9F, humor; Doreen Martini, 9G, girls’ sport; Ron Aitken, 9E, boys’ sport; Bill Fisk, 9F, scandal. During the year many of the schools that exchanged with the Barometer in the previous year continued to send us copies of their papers. We received one or two new ones, including such nearby centres as Olds, Alberta, and such distant ones as Saipan Island in the Pacific. The club is still in the un¬ fortunate position of not having a proper place for displaying the latest ex¬ changes, but it is looking forward to remedying the situation in the coming year. The editors and the club members send greetings to all with whom we exchange copies, to all Balmoralites, and to any who may read our little publication. -Ron Aitken, 9E; Ken Middleton, 9F; Peggy Cruickshank, 9E. We Extend Our Thanks To all contributors to our book and to all who assisted in its making, the editors and staff of the Crimson, Green and White extend their heartiest thanks. In particular, we wish to thank the following who have contributed so much to the book’s success: Stan Beaumont, 9E; Dave Pawson and Don Hatch, 9D. cartoons; Gary Miller, 9C, cover and write-ups; Ann Montgomery, 9E, dummy make-up: Ron Carlson, 9E, notices; Bob MacKay, 9D.

Four grade nine and four grade eight librarians have given most efficient service to the school. There was a total circulation of 13,125. This included 6,836 refer¬ ence, and 6,289 fiction, as well as atlases, social studies guides and other pamphlets numbering about 750 which have been circulated since September 6. For overdue books a total of $18.07 has been collected which has been spent on twelve new fiction books, leaving a balance on hand of $7.07. A large collection of new fiction came to the school on January 10th which necessitated for a time the use of a downstairs annex with three temporary librarians. New shelves were added for this fiction in the library. The occupation files were reorganized by Miss Fraser before Easter, and to these, new material is constantly being added. We wish to the graduating class every success as they leave Balmoral for other fields of endeavour.

Then we meet the two boys who have no ambition, Keith Hansen and Jack Mirtle, strolling out for a breath of air.

Warren Williams, Ron Hughes, Eddie Fellows and Eric Nielsen, our star badminton players, are showing some interested listeners, Shirley McNichol and Marlene Ellefson, how to play the game.

Ballantyne) The Time: A sleepy Monday morning in the year 1967. The Place: The district of Balmoral School. As we walk down the street we see Billie Hunt busily sweeping the side¬ walk in front of his new store. Then we walk into the Douglass Drug. Here we see Janette Rcsine serving two customers at the soda fountain. The customers are Marjory Popoff and Robert Ellis looking dreamingly into each other’s eyes. Over at the book stand we see George McKay reading a book entitled, “Robbing a Bank in Three Easy Lessons”. After crossing the street we get on the bus and of all people we see Bill Inge driving and lazily punching transfers. In the bus Shirley Meckling, Marjorie Hicklin, and Janet Matheson are on their way to work in a law office as secretaries. After getting off the recklessly-driven bus, we find ourselves standing in front of an exclusively desiqned dress shop called Benner’s Beauty Bar. Look¬ ing through the window Audrey Morrison, the model, is demonstrating her latest dress creation. On one of the sofas we see Marilyn Benner frantically trying to sell Viola Hokanson and June Dickeson a remarkable creation. At a busy corner nearby we see Gary Stagg shouting, “New shoe laces for old! New shoe laces for old!” Looking up in the sky we see the hot pilot Bill Marshall sky writing “Gurbles Beauty Garden for Georgeous Gals”. But what’s this coming up the street? Oh! It’s Alberta Dodge and Paula Rothbauer staked heavily with groceries. Farther down the street we come to the Farr Loft Fighting Club. In the ring we see Ken McLaren and Lome Anderson practising for the world’s championship. In another part of the building we see Ron Miller training on the speed bag. On leaving we take an elevator which Mary Sanderson operates. There is Miss Ballantyne, who has just received an award for the best teacher in Calgary. 31 Walking on down the street we see Frank Sabourin and Gordon Mc¬ Lennan digging out a leaky water main, with Edwin Zimmerman, a street sweeper, giving his advice. Then, as we turn the corner we hear a crash and see a car piled into a telephone pole with Irvin Kipnes lying across the motor. When the ambulance arrives, another familiar face appears, Joan Anderson, the hospital nurse, who assists in putting Kippy in the ambulance. As we walk on we meet Maxine O’Bray, the baseball coach of old 8C. Then we pass Gordon Ek, a policeman patrolling his beat. As we walk on we see a newly wedded couple coming out. Yes, you guessed it, Norris Cummin and Georgina Jordan, David Hallis is selling newspapers on the street corner, so to be friendly we buy one. On the front page we see another familiar face, that of Lloyd Scott, who is now a scientist in the Research Institute. Walking further down the street we see Margaret Cameron pricking herself with a pin. We ask her why? She says she wants to be a movie star and all movie stars have to suffer. When we arrive home we sit down to read the society column of the paper and find that Bob Dahrouge and Noreen McLeod are to be married on June 15th. That Harvey Austin accompanied by Jim Swickis, his faithful guide, is going to Africa for research in the Pgymy Land, and Ron Neale and Bob Engelman have gone to Wisconsin, U.S.A., to act as guinea pigs in re¬ search. On the front page we see that Betty Johansen, Sharon Kinley, and Audrey Marshall are running for the title of Stampede Queen. Then we turn on the radio to hear the Prime Minister of Canada, Donald Hume, speaking. ♦♦ CLASS 8D (Mr. R. T. Russell) G. Alfer—Doesn’t bother with the girls.

Approximately 1,000 man hours of supervision have been spent on this work. The pupils who volunteer their time and effort for this project are to be commended. Their names and pictures appear in this year book. Recently the patrol members were given reserve seats to the circus. Throughout the year they have been given the privilege of attending the Grand Theatre free of charge. The patrol and the school staff are grateful to the management of this theatre for granting this opportunity so many times this year. Last year Balmoral won the trophy awarded for the best patrol in the city, and we hope to equal this performance before the end of June.

Dann. 41 VALEDICTORY (Betty Gittel, 9A) Mr. Chairman, Honored Guests, Members of the Staff, Fellow Students:—- The time approaches when we shall have to bid farewell to our school. Many of the members of our graduating class have had the privilege of attend¬ ing Balmoral from Grades One to Nine while others have only attended for one or two years. The former privilege I have had, so it is with mixed emo¬ tions that I rise to give the valedictory address. Since we were promoted to Grade Seven we have anxiously awaited the day when we should leave Junior High School, but as the time draws near we are not so sure that we wish to go as we remember the many happy days we have spent in our school. Those dark days, so to speak, when tests were flunked and detentions were being served will be crowded out with the happy memories of hilarity at parties, dances and scores of other school activities. Our teachers have gone out of their way many a time to help us and have shown several other kindnesses which will remain with us always. We have gained from them a fuller knowledge of our surroundings and have been in¬ fluenced by their fine characters. In leaving we would like to thank our principals, Mr. Cartwright and Mr. Bryan and their staffs for their earnest efforts in helping us during these years. As we travel ahead to Senior High School we are taking one more step towards the reaching of our ambition or career. We now depart with a sincere, and enthusiastic outlook upon life, hoping that we may accomplish great future achievements which many former Balmoral students have done. Always shall we cherish the memories of Balmoral and our faithful teachers. Farewell, Balmoral! Thank you, teachers, for the guidance and direction that we have receive d from you within Balmoral’s walls. 42 Boys’ Sports (Ron Aitken, 9E) Soccer—This year interscholastic soccer was again a part of the sports department. The seniors battled their way into the finals and tied their first game with Colonel Walker, one-all. The second game was won by the oppo¬ sition to give them the championship. In the house league. Nine G won out in the finals, defeating 9B. Basketball—Basketball was a major sport during the winter months with the house league and all stars. The all star play-offs took place at Crescent Heights in March. In the house league, Doug McLean ' s team won out over Dennis Christie’s team in a hard fought game. For the fourth year in succession Balmoral fought their way to the semi¬ finals and finals. Juniors were edged out by Langevin in the semi-finals by nine points. The Seniors defeated Rideau in the semi-finals but lost the second to Colonel Walker by a score of 35 to 29. Hockey—Balmoral’s sport department again included hockey. Play-offs were unable to be played because of poor ice. The leader in the senior division was Dougald McLean’s team. In the junior division Jack Alexander’s team was on top. Softball-—The softball house league is again in operation for each of the three grades. The weather has been good and games are being played as scheduled. Nine A looks like the team to beat, but the schedule isn’t over. Play-offs will be held in June. At press time the senior all-stars were eliminated from city play by Col. Walker. Juniors entered the finals against winners of Rideau-Sunalta games. 44 Soccer (Bob Moore, 9F) The Balmoral Junior High Senior Soccer Team had a very successful season this past fall, going through the season tieing most of their games. In the play-offs, Balmoral played Langevin and Colonel Walker played Hillhurst. In league play Langevin beat Balmoral 5-1, but in the semi-finals Balmoral really showed some smart football by beating Langevin 2-0 in the second game after twenty minutes of overtime. Goals were scored by Fred Skoda and Stuart Tennant. This gave Balmoral the right to play Colonel Walker. In the first game there were no goals scored. In the second game Colonel Walker took an early lead with a fine goal. Then on a corner kick by Ten¬ nant and headed in by Ross Stubbert, Balmoral tied the game up. But on another goal, Colonel Walker made the game 2-1. Balmoral went down fighting. They did well and I know all of you Balmoral students are mighty proud of the team that entered the finals. The players were: Goal, Jack Kenyon (C aptain)—helped keep Balmoral in the finals by stopping a free shot by Langevin. Fullbacks, Barrie Kerr— was a good fullback. Sam Richter—did his part of being fullback as well as anybody else. Centre Half, Bob Moore—played every position but goal. Left Half, Gavin Mann—played an outstanding game against Langevin. Right Half, Fred Chernoff—-was a standout in the final game. Centre, Cliff Wylie— was by all in our judgment the best centre in the league. Left Inside, Stuart Tennant—was a standout in all our semi and final games, scoring a goal against Langevin and making a beautiful corner kick that was made into a goal against Colonel Walker. Left Outside, Fred Skoda—was also a standout, scored the other goal against Langevin. Right Inside, Ross Stubbert—scored the on’y goal for Balmoral in the final game. Right Outside, Gilbert McDonald—was an up-and-going player all season long. Subs—Dennis Christie, sub centre, played a major post in the final game. Willard Moon, sub forward. David Moore, sub half. Le Verne Leach, sub half. Richard Farmer, also played a major part in the final game. Mr. Russell—a coach who did a great job coaching our team. 45 Girls Basketball (Marilyn Sugden, 9E) This year the basketball season started off very brightly, with about twenty girls turning out for the first ‘‘all star practice”. But as the season commenced the team whittled down to ten, these being the best players. Games were played at Hillhurst, Sunalta and Rideau, which were all won, but not without hard practice. Finally the night came when our final and championship game was to be played. Mrs. McGimpsey, eight excited girls, and two coaches, were on their way to Central High School. The game was won by a margin of 34-5, and Balmoral brought home the championship. It would not Tiave been so easy if it had not been for the excellent coaching of Dennis Christie, Ken Taylor and Doug McLean, also Mrs. McGimpsey, who gave up much of her time and energy to keep the team spirit up—with a group of rowdy girls (and they were rowdy!—just ask the coaches). All in all, Balmoral had an excellent girls’ team to be proud of. The team: Doreen Martini, 9G, Mona McLaughlin, 9G, Marilyn Sug¬ den, 9E, Joan Tarves, 9F, Marge Grondahl, 9G, Marilyn Prysunka, 9G, Marion Frayn, 9A. 46 Senior Boys’ Basketball (Ken Taylor, 9A) Although they staged a brilliant comeback near the close of the season, Balmoral Seniors became runners-up instead of champions, as they lost the hard fought final game to Colonel Walker, 35-29. Never lacking fighting spirit, the team as a whole worked well together, with the McLean, Farmer, Taylor, Kenyon and Kerr line providing the scoring punch. After being edged out twice by Colonel Walker, and once by Rideau, the boys sprung back to whip Sunalta 37-17 in the pre-season exhibition games. Our battling seniors went all out in the opening round robin champion¬ ship game to again overpower Sunalta 46-26. The team then played inspired ball to beat the favored Rideau team 48-47 and so enter the finals. Mr. Pallesen should receive due credit for the grand job of coaching the boys during the season. Team members were: McLean, Farmer (capt.), Taylor, Kenyon, Kerr, Stubbert, Hatch, Rohloff, Gillingham, Campbell, Richter, Webb, and Mik- kelsen. 47 Badminton (Lance Aelxander, 9C; Gary Miller, 9C) One of the many sports played at Balmoral was Badminton. This club was well supported with sixty members in all. They were kept in hand by three teacher sponsors, Mr. Bryan, Mr. Culley, and Mr. Russell. Each of these teachers instructed groups A, B and C respectively. The club would like to give their thanks to these teachers who helped a great deal with their splendid work. The highlight of the year was the interscholastic play-offs. We did very well, too, placing second with 279 points. Rideau was first with 356, but we gave them a run for their money. The six couples participating in the play-offs were Lance Alexander and Artoria Wylie, Neale Larsen and Sylvia Joy, Gary Miller and Marilyn Sugden, Sharon Johnston and Gordon Mc¬ Lennan, Ron Hughes and Barbara Ingram and Barbara Inge. During the season the club played Badminton on several different courts. Groups B and C played over at Queens Park, Group A played at Mountview. While all three groups played at Balmoral, twice during the season two or three couples played at the Glencoe under the supervision of Mr. Bryan. We had a very good and successful year which was made so by the en¬ thusiasm of the players. The executive which lasted all year are: President, Lance Alexander, 9C; Vice-President, Elaine Cook, 9E; Secretary-Treasurer. Marilyn Sugden, 9E. May next year’s club be a better one and bring back the cup. Good luck! 48 THE TRACK MEET (Beth Robertson, Marion Frayn, 9A) The “A” Division of the Junior High School Track Meet took place on May 19th. For the first time in many years, proud Balmoralites walked off with all three trophies. The Athletic Championship Trophy (Boys) was won by Balmoral in 1940 and again in 1946 but this is the first time we have won the Davidson Cup (Girls) or the Black Challenge Trophy. One of the highlights of the Meet was a Principal’s Race, in which the Junior High Principals showed off their running skill in a ten-yard dash. The junior girls who won events were: Artoria Wylie, who placed third in the 75 Yard Dash and the High Jump; Erma Roberts, who jumped 11 feet 9jd inches and came first in the Running Broad Jump; and members of the Relay Team. Joan Tarves came second in the Intermediate Girls’ 75 Yard Dash, and the Relay Team won first place. The winners among the senior girls were: Mona McLaughlin, winning first place in the 75 Yard Dash and the Running Broad Jump; Marjorie Gron- dahl, who came first in the Softball Throw; and members of the Relay Team. The junior boys made a good start with Cliff Oliphant and Balmoral coming second in both the 75 Yard Dash and 300 Yard Relay. Maurice Weegar topped the 220 Yard Run while Cliff Oliphant came in fourth place. A few more points were added with Maurice Weegar placing first in the 8 lb. Shot Put and Jerry Wynne in the Running High Jump. Gordon McLennan won the Intermediate 75 Yard Dash, while Ross Stubbert and Fred Skoda placed second and third in the 440 amongst the deafening cheers in the grandstand. Lome Pamplin placed third in the Running Broad Jump. The senior boys’ 300 Yard Relay was won by Balmoral. At the same time Jack Kenyon came second in the High Jump following Dennis Christie’s new record in the Running Bread Jump of 17’ 10)4”• To end off a glorious day the Senior Boys’ 440 Yard Run began. Dennis Christie came in first by a wide margin, followed by Gilbert McDonald in third place. The boys’ final score was 56)4 points; the girls was 40)4; the total 97. Rideau followed with a total of 85. 49 GIRL CONTESTANTS Junior— 75 Yard—Artoria Wylie, Marilyn Snyder, Elaine Paquin, sub. 300 Yard Relay—Artoria Wylie, Marilyn Snyder, Elaine Paquin, Felicia Leew,_ Doris Crawford, sub.

Square Dancing (Gary Miller, 9C) It seems that Balmoral has caught on to the fad that is sweeping the country. Of course, how could we help but ' get hep” to it with a principal such as we have. I think the credit for making square dancing in Balmoral so popular should go to Mr. Byran, and I’m sure everyone else thinks so too. Since Mr. Bryan started teaching square dancing it seems that the other schools had to follow along, as Western and Crescent both have classes in which the pupils can learn these new dances. There was a square dancing club the latter half of the year and it had a full roster of members. It proved to be very popular. Under Mr. Bryan’s leadership we learned such dances as Dive for the Oyster, Forward and Back, Texas Star, Grapevine Twist, and Duck and Dive. Besides square dances we learned folk dances such as Varsouviana (Put Your Little Foot), Black Hawk Waltz, and Narcissus. These dances were also a lot of fun. Balmoral had a team entered into the Mac-a-bee Hop. We didn ' t win anything, but we had a good time. The team consisted of, Nina and Lorna Shoults, Peggy MacGregor, Pat Peck, Dennis Christie, Laurie Merkley, Cliff Wylie and Gary Miller. Some noons if you come early you can see the assembly hall full of Grades Sevens, Eights and Nines learning new square dances. The Home and School also has caught on and they have a dance every two weeks with large crowds attending. The Grade Nine Social, ' ‘Barnyard Shuffle”, was the success of the year. It was strictly Old Time. It was more fun than a picnic and everyone was dressed old time, with the girls wearing flowing calico dresses and print cotton skirts. The boys wore cowboy hats, blue jeans, and plaid shirts. Plays (Joyce Corsiatto, 9F) Throughout the year there have been several plays presented by the various Grade Nine drama classes. 9A (Girls)—Presented the ‘‘Spinsters’ Convention”. It was put on at 4 p.m. for all students and in the eveiV ' .ng for the public. There were good audiences both times and the girls did a splendid piece of work with the play. 9B—Presented very successfully to the Senior Assembly, ‘‘Elmer and The Love Bug”. They studied two other plays, ‘‘The Black Widow” and “My Cousin From Sweden”, but were unable to stage these. 9B—Entertained their home rocm with ‘Wildcat Willie’s Lucky Number” and ‘‘The First Shave”. They also presented for the enjoyment of the Senior Assembly, ‘‘Jerry Sees the Gorilla”. 9C—Presented “Wildcat Willie” for the Intermediate Assembly but were unable to finish, ‘‘Phillip For Short”. 9C—Senior Assembly enjoyed the presentation of “Airman’s Forty- eight ”, by this class. The Elementary Grades saw “Wildcat Willie Takes a Tumble”. Among the plays not completed were, “Have You Had Your Operation?” and “Wlio Gets the Car Tonight?” 9F—“Paul Ducks the Dentist”, was produced for the Senior Assembly and enjoyed by all. “Wildcat Willie and the Bearded Lady” was presented to an after-four audience. Time did not permit the production of “Our Dream House”. 9F—The Grade 9F Class enjoyed the presentation of “Buddy Answers An Ad”. Other plays worked uoon by this group but not produced were: “The Great Allowance Battle”, “Buddy”, and “Elmer”. 52 JUNIOR ASSEMBLY (Bob Stobie, Grant Trimble, 7A) As grade seven students we feel that this year’s assemblies have been extremely interesting and entertaining. The first officers of the assembly were as follows: President, Maurice Weegar, 7D; Vice-President, Jim Matheson, 7C; and Secretary, Artoria Wylie, 7A. While these people were in office we had six assemblies, one every other week. One of the most interesting of these assemblies was when Sergeant Moffat of the Calgary Police Force gave us a talk on safety, and showed us a film entitled “Scarlet and Gold”. The second executive consisted of: President, Helen Greig, 7C; Vice- President, Jack Alexander, 7D; and Secretary, Jim Matheson, 7C. An interest¬ ing assembly while this executive was in office took place when Mr. Hewlett from the Blind Institute gave us a talk on how blind people read and write. A successful group of assemblies followed this. We would like to congratulate the two executives for the fine job they have done throughout the year. INTERMEDIATE ASSEMBLY (Pat Carvell, 8A) The Grade Eight Assembly has had a very successful year, with the first te rm officers being: Ken Hendry, 8D, president; Ken McLaren, 8C, vice- president: and Bob Dahrouge, 8C, secretary. Assemblies, which were held every other week, had many interesting and educational programs. As an example. Mr. Hewlett, Director of the National Institute for the Blind, gave us a talk on the Blind Institute and how the blind manage in spite of their handicap. Mr. Hewlett, who is totally blind, made his talk very amusing and interesting. The officers for the second term were: Pat Carvell, 8A, president; John Waugh, 8B, vr ' ce-president; and Donald Hume, 8C, secretary. The assemblies were under the supervision of Mr. L. Pallesen. SENIOR ASSEMBLY (Donnie Williams, 9G) A complete series of Balmoral Senior Assemblies have iust been completed, from September 30, 1949 to March 17, 1950, with Mr. Baldwin in charge. Part of the term was made up of talks given by Mr. Hewlett, manager of Institute of Blind, talkin g on importance of the Canadian National Institute of the Blind, and Miss Weston, Balmoral Lady Vice-Principal, speaking on her trip to Europe. A debate, featuring students of Balmoral, was held on the topic, “Re¬ solved that Canada’s Immigration Laws Are Too Strict”. It proved to be quite interesting with the affirmative side winning. A quiz, sponsored by the Assembly Executive, was enjoyed by all, with Ray Evans, 9C, winning the jackpot. Plays were presented by 9C, 9F and 9B, under the direction of Mr. Bald¬ win, Balmoral Drama teacher. 9C presented “Airman’s 48”, 9F presented “Paul Ducks the Dentist”, and 9B presented both “The Gorilla” and “Elmer and the Love Bug”. A talent show, featuring Balmoral students, entertained with songs by Mervyn Parker and Sharon Johnston, piano solos by Coralie Dingle and Sandra Kalef, guitar solos by Harvine Cunningham and Jim Thibaudeau, dances by Connie Brietzke and Nina and Lorna Shoults, and comedy readings by Betty Hashman and Bob MacKay and Lome Hadden. The executive of the Senior Assembly of 1949 and 1950 was: President. Donnie Williams, 9G; Vice-President. Lance Alexander, 9C; Secretary, Jack Kenyon, 9A. 53 Social Evenings (Lawrence Merkley, 9G; Doug Fraser, 9G) Commencing in the fall and running through the winter and spring, several successful social evenings, shags and dances were held. The Grade Seven pupils divided their efforts between games and dancing at their first social evening. At their second one they gave most of their atten¬ tion to dances new and old, mixing waltzes, minuets, and square dances in expert style under the guidance of Miss Weston, Miss Hoskin and some of the Grade Eight and Nine students. Miss Shepherd and Mr. Culley, assisted by visiting parents, ran games of binno. bowling and table tennis. The evenings were successfully concluded with hot dogs and pop. The Grade Eights held two social evenings. Both were well attended and enjoyed by all. Modern and western style square dancinq were featured along with Put Your Little Foot and some of the older round dances, which are in vogue again. Mr. Pallesen officiated as the caller. Some of the par¬ ents came to assist Miss Ballantyne, Mrs. McGimpsey and Mr. Russell with refreshments and games. Grade Nine social activities took the form of afternoon shags and evenina dances. Several classes combined at each shag, which gave jitterbugs and square dancers a chance to “strut their stuff”. Proceeds were used to buy records. The first evening party was a “Barn Yard Shuffle”. Everyone dressed for the occasion, including Mr. Goddard as the “Sheriff” and Master of Ceremonies. Thanks to the efficient work of the committee in decorating and preparing the program a very hilarious eveninq of square and modern dances was enjoyed by all. M ; ss Williams, Miss Ramsay and some of the parents were responsible for refreshments to conclude the evening. The winning of the Track Meet by Balmoral was marked by a Victory Dance, attended by the Grade Nines and the track team. The final social affair was the Grade Nine Graduation Ceremonies and Dance held for the first time at Crescent Heights High School. Much of the credit for a successful social season qoes to a small group of Grade Eight and Nine students, headed by Gary Miller, Nina and Lorna Shoults and Peggy MacGregor, and several of the teachers who worked very hard organizing practice dance sessions at noon, and to the Home Economics and Shop teachers who supervised the arrangements for refreshments. 54 Clubs (Beth Robertson, 9A; Rose Rockley, 9A; Barbara Venables, 9A; Susan Shaughnessy, 9A.)

These people vol¬ unteered to sing in a choir and come to many practices. This choir has been successful due to the patience and leadership of Miss Hoskin, who takes on all the music of the school. The first trip we made was down to Central High School where we sang “Bless This House and “Finlandia”. We were all frightened, but later when we sang at the Blind Institute, we gained confidence. From then, until May 5, we worked on “Wake, Wake, Wake” and “Florian Song” which we sang at Crescent Heights High School at a musical demonstration. On Tuesday, May 9, Mr. Bryan arranged for us to sing at the Parent’s Night. Everyone will miss well-known Captain Hinton who is going to retire after being responsible for many demonstrations. Balmoral Junior High students will long remember his delightful visits during our school life.

Two hours of dancing, followed by a delightful lunch, completed a most pleasant evening. 58 CALGARY Seventy-five years ago today, Four mounted policemen came our way; They camped on the ground, From where a small mound. Grew the great city of Calgary. Colonel Macleod was his name, He led a life of trust and fame; From home he came To give it a name, So he christened the spot Fort Calgary. From a few sticks and a brick here and there. Buildings and towers rose in the air; So citizens thankful Better you be To the man who made possible CALGARY! —Sheila Hornberger, 7A, Darrel Reid, 7A. EIGHTH (STEPHEN) AVENUE Calgary! My, this couldn’t be it! Only five wooden stores, It wouldn’t fit! They don’t have any floors! Horses and buggies line the street, Women in bustles with big tall hats. Their beaux for to meet; And look at that ' ong, skinny cat! Bang! Bang! What’s that? Somebody coming to raid the bank? But, look at it now! Nice, big, beautiful stores, And t ie houses—well, they have doors! All the cars and buses on paved roads! And people- -there are loads! What a change in our Calgary! But, I like it best this way, don’t you? —Elaine Paquin, 7C. 60 EXCITEMENT Hostile Indians all over our plains, Now there’re houses and fields of grains; Just a covered wagon, with a driver named Joe, Now speeding cars and buses we know; All around there are Indian teepees, Now beautiful houses with rows of sweet peas. Calgary’s seventy-fifth birthday! Oh, boy! Everyone’s filled with loads of joy. Snow in the winter is lots of fun, Swimming pools in summer, or on beaches we run; Seventy-five years ago we wouldn’t have this. What a lot of fun we all would miss! All I can say is, “I’m glad to live here With all my friends, loving and dear.” And now comes the last sentence SO GRAND, “I GO TO BALMORAL, THE BEST SCHOOL IN THE LAND! ” —Donna Kimmel, 7C. CALGARY’S EARLY STREETS An oldtimer by the name of Frank White wrote in his diary that in 1881 he stood on Calgary’s North Hill and counted sixteen shacks plus a Mounted Police fort. In the early days they had different names for every street and avenue. Eighth Avenue was then called Stephen Avenue in honor of Lord Mount Stephen, then president of the Canadian Pacific Railway. A few more of the main avenues were as follows: Abbott was Second Avenue Egan was Third Avenue, Reinoch was Fourth Avenue, Northcote was Fifth Avenue, Angus was Sixth Avenue, and Pacific was Tenth Avenue. In the small area encompassed in the list of street and avenue names above were built Calgary’s early buildings, many of them landmarks until the present day. —Don Parry, 7C. 61 Leonard G. giggled when Mr. Baldwin read about the Roman who swam across the Tiber three times before breakfast. “Don’t you think a trained swimmer could do that, Leonard?” asked Mr. Baldwin. ‘‘Oh! Yes, Sir,” replied Leonard. “But I wondered why he didn’t make it four and get back to the side his clothes were on.” Better keep your head inside the window!” warned the conductor. I kin look out of the window if I want to,” said Ray E. “Sure you can,” answered the conductor, “but if you damage any of the iron work on the bridges you’ll have to pay for it.” Wooer (in deep anguish)—“If you don’t marry me, I’ll blow my brains out.” Wooed—“That would be a joke on father. He doesn’t think you have any.” “Is your girl spoiled?” “No, it’s just the perfume she’s wearing.” Don—“What did the teacher say this morning?” Ron—-“Nothing.” Don—“Of course, but how did he express it?” When God made male and female, He made the male the stronger. And then to make amends— Made woman’s tongue the longer. He—“If the principal doesn’t take back what he said this morning, I’m going to leave school.” She— What did he say?” He—“He told me to leave school.” “My boy friend is serving on an island in the Pacific.” “Which one?” “Alcatraz.” Mr. Steckle—’’Notice any improvement since last year?” Caddy—‘Had your clubs shined up, haven’t you?” A professor, while making a tour of an insane asylum after the Winter Carnival, noticed a former student of his, who was one of the inmates wearing nothing but a hat. Professor—“Why is it, my good man, that you aren’t wearing any clothes?” Inmate—“M ell, sir, nobody ever comes here.” Professor—“Then why are you wearing a hat?” Inmate--”Well, somebody might.” Fran—“You remind me of the ocean.” Dick—“Wild, romantic, restless, huh?” Fran—“Naw, you only make me sick.” 62 WACKY MISHAPS (Contributed by Neale Larsen, 9E; Larry Fisk, 9A) Every ball player dreams of the day he’s as hot as a firecracker. But few attain it as literally as the outfielder of a California Sandlot team. The thirteen-year-old chased a fly ball so vigorously that the friction of his pants ignited some matches in his pocket. The matches touched off a pocketful of firecrackers. He banged his way spectacularly across the outfield and caught the fly—to the thunderous cheers of his amazed and delighted team mates. (W.H., 9E, take note.) One housewife in Cedar Rapids, la., is used to hearing her neighbors say that her biscuits are always sure-fire. Nonetheless, she was startled when shots rang out from the hot oven into which she had just dropped a pan of dough. Then she remembered that when the family left on a recent vacation, two revolvers had been hidden in the stove. In Kampsville, Ill., a bridegroom blissfully carried his bride across the threshold, slipped and broke his ankle. In Bridgeport, Conn., a box cf cookies set fire to a house. The box toppled from a kitchen shelf onto the handle of a water faucet, turning on the water. The cookies spilled out and clogged the drain. The sink overflowed, the water seeped through the floor, a,short circuit resulted, and fire broke out. Waitress—“Hawaii, mister. You must be Hungary.’’ Norm W.—“Yes, Siam, and I can’t Rumania long either. Venice lunch already?’’ , Waitress—“I’ll Russia table. ' What’ll you have? Aix?” Norm W.—“Whatever’s ready. But can’t Jamaica cook step on the gas?’’ Waitress—“Odessa laugh. But Alaska.” Norm W.—“Don’t do me favors. Just put a Cuba sugar in my Java.” Waitress— Don’t be Sicily, big boy. Sweden it yourself. I’m only here to Serbia.” Norm W.—“Denmark my Czech and call the Bosphorous. I hope he’ll Kenya. I don’t Bolivia know who I am.” Waitress—“Canada noise. I don’t Caribbean. You sure Ararat.” Norm W.—“Samoa your wisecracks? What’s got India. D’you think this arguing Alps business? Be nice. Matter of fact, I gotta Smolensk for ya.” Waitress—“Attu. Don’t Kiev, me that Bologne. Alamein do. Spain in the neck. Pay your Czech and scram. Abyssinia.” A true music lover is a person who, when he hears a soprano in the shower, puts his ear to the keyhole. “How old is you?” “Ah’s five. How old is you?” “Ah don’t know.” “Yo don ’ know how old you is?” “Nope.” “Does women bothah you?” “Nope.” “You’s fo.” 63 SOME FAMILIAR FACES MRS. McGIMPSEY BALMORAL JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL AWARDS 1.

She helps us over all our physical troubles, big and small, and supplies us with everything from band aids to good advice. The school could not carry on without her. Balmoral is fortunate in having a most experienced and conscientious staff member in Nurse Nichols Gunn. Miss Gunn came to the Calgary schools in 1922 to begin her duties at Crescent Heights High School (now Balmoral Junior High). Prior to coming to Calgary she served with the Canadian Nursing Sisters Overseas in World War I and subsequently helped with the setting up of Frank Sanitarium . . . (later Keith Sanitarium). Nurse Gunn has given her years of service in the Calgary schools, almost exclusively, to the North Hill. It is safe to say that few, if any, Calgarians ; know more people, or are better known, in this community than Miss Gunn. We appreciate having her with us at Balmoral Junior High School.
