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 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.

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

’’JpHE library has had a very happy and successful year. 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.
