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 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

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.
