The prizes in life go to those who do something better. This arises from initiative - the ability to think clearly, to act 0 decisively, and to apply oneself without thought of the cost. Opportunity exists within ourselves. There are challenging openings for all ages from the ’teens to maturity and beyond. This has been a very successful year for many students. If you have not shared in the joy of success, banish the practice of depending on luck, and go out and get yourself your share of success! ■ K. B. Meiklejohn ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL ' S MESSAGE OPEN DOORS As an adolescent looking ahead into the future, you must sometimes feel as if you were standing-in a large enclosure, with walls made up of countless doors. Each door leads Into a room symbolic of a different vocational area. Which door will you take as you move from today into the future? With your limited experiences you can know what is in but few of these rooms, the rooms where your parents and family acquaintances work. Most of the rooms are full of mystery to the teen-ager. When you enter Junior High all the doors are open. How long will they stay open? That depends on YOU. Some of you will never be allowed in certain rooms. Today one room appeals to you; next month it is a different doorway that seems to attract you. Your final choice is still a few years away. Are you keeping all those doors open till you are certain of the room in which you want to spend your lifetime of work? Will you, a few years from now, be standing on a threshold, longing to enter, but excluded because you have closed the £oor? If you fail to complete Junior High, or if you do poorly in Junior High, immediately most of the doors are slammed in your face, never again to be opened. The moment you choose certain High School programs you close some doors. Avoid future disappointment; keep all the doors open. L. C. Pallesen GUEST EDITORIAL 2 In our disturbed world where the pattern of life seems to be accented by teen-age problems it is indeed remarkable to find in Balmoral a staff and student body co-operating as they do. The conmunity which we find operating within the old sandstone walls of your school could be likened to the community of nations living and working together within the framework of the United Nations. It is, if you like, a miniature United Nations. The staff and the students council set the rules by which this community operates and lives purposefully. They are made up of various backgrounds but they work together for your common ends. The values to be gained from living together in this school community will not be realized by you till you are much older. The serious ones who are concerned about this problem of living together will come to understand that much of what is learned in your school had to be taught and practiced , over many prejudices and oppositions„• Due to the efforts of a number of people with vision, dedicated to improving your school community, Balmoral has become a fine place in which to grow and develop. In my experience I ' have seen many students reject new and progressive ideas. However, students of the Balmoral community are taught to welcome new ideas - to become familiar with the unfamiliar, and after a number of years of working in your school I personally witnessed the results of this teaching as evidenced by the special growth and developement of the students. Like the growing,cooperating nations who belong to, and receive help from our world organization, I have seen the immature and the insecure begin to attain maturity and self reliance assisted by those who care. A strong tenet of the cultural, social and academic teaching of the Balmoral community is that, beolde yourself, others exist and must be encourage to learn how to live and enjoy life too - the interdependency of the student body and staff and the program itself is emphasized. Perhaps it is in .your clu and your sports, particularly that you learn to integrate the members of different family backgrounds, races and creeds and to submerge the prejudices which tend to develop a community of people who do not care about each other. Now that r am no longer a part of your school in an active way, I would urge this very worthwhile community to maintain at all’costs the way of life by which you are known throughout this city 0 L.D.MCDOUGALL. Assistant Principal. Elboya School. 3 EDITOR Tit L As our dedication is to the United Nations and continuing world peace, I thought it fitting that we look at the United Nations ' birth. In 1919, twenty- nine nations met in Versailles, France., to form a League of Nations. The purpose of the League was to maintain peace. Meetings were held until 1939, when World War Two broke out. While World War Two was being fought, many national leaders thought the world should attempt another peace organization, which could be guided by the mistakes made by the League of Nations. In 1941 Winston Churchill and Theodore Roosevelt met on the U.S.S. ' ' Augusta”, an American cruiser. In spite of the danger from German submarines, these two great men decided on the principles of peace, called the Atlantic Charter, which consisted of four important, statements. These statements declared that people should be free to choose their own government. The U.S.A. and Britain believed all nations should live well, the enemy should be disarmed after defeat, and finally all the world should live in freedom from fear and wont. The United Nations Declaration of 1941 was a war document and said nothing of peace plans to come. In 1943 Churchill and Roosevelt again met, but this time in Casablanca, North Africa, another war infected area. This war meeting tied together the armed forces of the U.S.a. and Britain. The two leaders also decided that food was the greatest n’eed of people. In the same year seventy-four nations met in Hot Springs, Virginia to form the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organi¬ zation, the first of many life preserving organizations. In November of 1943 Russia entered the talks by having a foreign minister ' s conference with the U.S. and Britain. The. Moscow Pact, the agreement made at the conference, was signed, and The Big Three, - Russia, Britain and the United States - was formed. Since 1943 many nations have entered the United Nations and joined in their efforts to maintain peace ' .

DAVIES: TKe staff and students of Balmoral, especially those interested in dramatics, will be soriy to hear that Mr. Davies will not be teaching here next year. He has taught social studies, language, French and drama at-Balmoral for the past eight years. He has done a wonderful job directing the Drama -Club in their production of the annual Spring Concert, which is one of the highlights of the school year. We wish him every success at Killarney School, where he will be Assistant Principal next year. MR. EVANS: Another of our very, active teachers who will not be at Balmoral next- year is Mr. Evans. Some of the .subjects he has taught during the past four, years are science, math, health, art, community economics and agriculture. He has sponsored the Photo Club and has been on hand at all special events taking pictures for the Yearbook and hall displays. -The staff and students will miss him, but we hope he will enjoy teaching at James Short School next year, where he will occupy ' the position-of Assistant Principal. MR. WILLIAMS: One of the most popular teachers at Balmoral, Mr. Williams, will be leaving us this yo r to -attend University. He has taught physical education, social studies and language to Grade VII and VIII, and the former to Grade IX, for the past three years-. . Balmoral ' s success in the field, of sports has been largely due to his hard work, in coaching and training our athletes. This year Mr. r ‘.Williams ' became Vice- Principal of the school. Although we will miss him, we wish ' him success at University, and, maybe, if we are lucky, he will return to Balmoral when he is through University. ; . MR. JORSTAD : Another of our well-liked teachers, Mr, Jorstad, will be leaving us to attend University. During the past year he has taught a variety of subjects, including physical education, social studies, language and art. His classes worked hard, but took time out to enjoy Mr. Jorstad 1 s jokes. He has been very active in the extra¬ curricular sports activities. We hope that he has enjoyed teaching at Balmoral and will return when he is finished University. THE VALEDICTORY - Barrie McCullough - Mr. Chairman, Honored Guests, Teachers, Parents and Fellow Graduates - Long before we students came to Balmoral School, a great many of us were fortunate in having learned the lesson contained in this poem:- If you want to be in the kind of a school Like the kind of a school you like. You need not pack your clothes in your grip And start on a lopg, long hike. You ' ll only find -what you left behind. For there ' s nothing that really is new, It ' s a knock at yourself vhen you knock your school. It Isn ' t your school, it ' s You. Real schools aren ' t made by students afraid Lest someone else goes ahead. If everyone works and nobody shirks. Your school will be at the top. So if you do your personal bit, • And your neighbour does his bit too. Your school will be what you want it to be. It isn ' t your school, it is You. Because this attitude was adopted by so many Balmoralites here to¬ night, and by so many graduates before us, an i because of Balmoral ' s efficient staff, and lastly because of the unending help of parents, Balmoral has through the years become a great School, known far and wide for its good spirit, its scholars,,and its athletic achievements. For these reasons we are sorry to have to leave it after three years of happy sojourn here. Within a few years, the ' 59 Graduating Class will be remembered by just a few, but this is unimportant, since it is only what we leave behind in the school that is remembered. I certainly hope that we as a group have given some¬ thing to Balmoral in return for all it has given us in terms of knowledge, friend¬ ships, and good times, for after all Schools are like banks, They go broke if you take out more than you put inJ But time marches on, and we must advance to schools of higher learning. Nevertheless, we ' ll never forget this wonderful school, and so we must now say sadly but proudly Farewell, Balmoral 11 Pat Baillie Rod Digney Verna Pettifor Bob Swingle Marilyn Yeoman Victor Lassen Julie Hopkins Gordon Sneddon Arlene Dyson Tom Clark Dianne Stedman Darrell Hides Carol Dann Ken Klippert Judy Eagleson Cameron Douglas Donna Carr Bruce Wilkinson Linda Soole Murray Garinger Gary Krangnes Tom James Bob Lewis Ron Dingwall Edward Dean Jo-Anne Mackay Dennis Leask Shirley Gulling Bill Wylie Linda Lockerby Don Robertson Joanne Hopkins Brent Fraser Joan Sterling Wayne Lowther Marilyn Lathwell Ed Brauer Dianne Young Wayne Whittaker Dianne Ferwom Robert Van Haaren Moma Mitchell Phil Dudar Joyce Knapp Jim Phelps Sharon Campbell Dave Smith Donna Smith Jim Nicholls Judy Dawson Darrel Hughes Elaine Davis Ross Waldo Marsha Nestegard Murray Luft Annette Aumonier Phil Schneidmiller Mary McClelland Jim D’Amico Diane McCallum Lee Homberger Jean Thomson Don Little Sherry Bradley Roy Forster Karen Williams Ted Bendell Aria Shouldice John Wray Brenda Hinds Jim Thomson Trudy Feicho Jim Mayhew Lorie Skjonsberg Hugh Stewart Eddie ’Wood Derek Nayler Dave Dunsmore Bob Nelson Bill Alberda Evelyn Wyllie Gary Cardiff Donna Kirkbride Brian Randall Joy Pringle Jack Rayton Iva Cramer Robert Paquette Lorene Merkley Bert Middleton Maxine Cowan George Wyberg Joanne Munroe Tom Bown Louise Johnson Ian Atkinson Kathy May Gordon Anderson Nancy Bourne Del Howden Frances Hatton Allan Cabana Arden Dubnewick r - ' f— :— a l_i _n )i _ Wendy MacLean Terry Clarke Judy MacLean Grant Richards Cheryl McKague Eill Black Eva Frick Bob Overland Aleta Purrington Ralph Palmer Anne de Vries Wayne Grover Linda Kell Don Gathercole Eva Rouse Clarence Umess Linda Hood Bob Bowman Margrit Korn Frank Phillips Ron Hilton Gary Herring Ed Warden Richard Hayes Joe Campbell Margaret Ann Frew Bob Taylor Shirley Campbell Bob Willis Roberta Fox Lyle Oviatt Sharon Poffenroth Blaine Cameron Joan Leslie Bruce Simkin Jean Stickel Terry Kruger Betty French Barry Freney Janice Homberger Barrie McCullough Gail Dobson Michael Hughes Bev Jones Dick Johnston Judy Evans Gerald Northam Betty-Anne Robert .son Jim Carter Gary Schang John Jeffrey BIOGRAPHIES 7 Class U 1 r. -JP PAT BAILIE Better known as 1 Trash ' , Miss Barley, 9-1 ' s future .surgeon, likes boys, sports, ,art.

Marilyn Yeoman, IX-1 OnC summer day the constant ring of the telephone brought a teen-age girl flying downstairs. In reply to her eager ’’Hello” came a strong, husky voice which she thought she recognized as Bill ' s. When he asked her out, she agreed reluctantly. That night about six o ' clock, while Ann was at the store, Bill phoned and Ann ' s younger sister answered. He didn ' t leave any message, but simply told her to tell Ann that Bill had called. When Ann returned, she was filled with curiosity as to what Bill had wanted. She could not phone him as he hadn ' t any phone, so.she dismissed the thought from her mind, thinking that he had only wanted to tell her he ' d be a little late. Realizing her favourite TV Show was on, Ann sprawled out on the couch and concentrated on the plot of the murder mystery. The ring of the doorbell brought her to her senses, and she got up to answer. Through the curtain came the sil¬ houette of a figure which she knew at a glance was Don ' s. Standing with pins in hor hair, sloppy jeans, and dad ' s old shirt on, Ann was horrified. What was he doing here? Father ' s voice boomed through the hall, Well, don ' t just stand there, let him in.” Ann ' s hand lifted the latch, and Don entered, Guess I must be a little early,” he remarked, as he looked her up and down. I ' ll get ready now”, she said, as she showed him into the living room where Father was just puttingon one of his favourite Irish Folksong” records. By now Ann was -quite puzzled as to what was going on-. Here stood Don acting as though he had asked her out, while she waited for Bill. Glaring at Dad, ' who by now was singing along with the record, Ann started up the stairs, but stopped as Don said, Oh, by the way, I-forgot to ask you to bring your new Rock ' n Roll record when I phoned you this afternoon. With that, Ann floated up the stairs humming the latest hit. So it hadn ' t been Bill who phoned the first time that afternoon, and with that thought in mind Ann went off for a night full of fun. Verna Pettifor, IX-1 LITERARY 35 - A MISTAKE When my Dad and I were-on the train going from Calgary to Winnipeg, we took an upper and lower berth at the very end of the train. I slept in the upper and he slept in the lower. Before we went to bed he told me to wake him up at’5.30 if he wasn ' t already awake. 1 1 got up in themaming about 5.00 o ' clock and went back to the observation car for a while. When it was 5.30 I went back to the berth to wake my Dad. I began shaking him to wake him up. When he awoke he asked me what time it was and I ' told him it was 5.30, He just told me to shut up and let him go back to sleep. Well,I was a little downhearted because he told me to wake him up at 5.30 so I went back through all the dimly lit sleeping cars to the observation car and who should I find there but my Dad. I had awakened the person at the other end of the sleeping carl Jim Mayhew. 9-3. CALGARY A foothill city now but of old a fort it was, Cradled in the valley of the Bow and Elbow too, Trading goods with trapper, rancher, Indian brave, Who with the help from grain, oil. and ribboned steel Built a town of narrow streets for cow and horse. It grew until the fort and town were, no 1 more) The buildings which of stone and ' wood were: made, ■ ? Today are doomed for steel and, brick ' have come instead) The streets unchanged are as in days of old) -Though a.gateway to the mountains and the mighty sea beyond, Our heritage is still recalled by the rancher and his herd, 1 And the narrowed streets built for them to paps. George Wiberg, ■ 9-4 SCJNSET As vivid colours rise to meet the horizon and blanket it under their beauty, yellows, pinks, fire reds and velvet blues blend together and evaporate into the vast unknown. The sun, which once somewhat guarded our comparatively humble life, has now partially disappeared behind the long line of mountains. These are now outlined in a thick line of black and the burning sun to a deathlike blood red, in this world of fantasy. . ■ In the east, stars are beginning to elbow their way through the immense billowy clouds, which are now bound in the most luxurious of golds, while in the distance, towering trees surrounding a large old house, look black against Mother Nature’s paintbox. Dianne Stedman, IX-.1 LITE. R ARY 36 - GRAY phantom - The hills were obscured, by fog. Through the mist there sounded a high pitched whinny, down in a valley echoed a shrill answer, an iron horsehoe clicked against a pebble. Out of the mist three figures approached a ' high ridge. Upon reaching the ridge the three commanded a view of the area as the fog has thinned out. The three wranglers held a shbrt, quiet conference and then began the roundup. Drifting silently toward the un-suspecting manada, they stationed themselves at different points waiting for a signal. It came, the three horsemen started to converge on the now nervous horses which were being hased into a trap. Because of the heavy fog the horses would not see the corral until it was too late. Now it was a matter of minutes. There was little chanc the horses would miss the trap and go right by it. There was complete silence; with an ear-splitting squeak the gate shut. At the same moment Gray Dynamite exploded] The herd stallion knew he was ' caught but he did not intend to stay that way for long. Fortunately for the wranglers though, the corral was sturdily built; after a short consultation it was decided to leave the mares, and colts where -they were and take the stallion back to the ranch. Shortly after the stallion reached the ranch, a cowhand named Pete rode up. Where did you get him? Pete asked, looking through the corral poles at the big gray stallion. Brought him in this morning , was the reply, and boy was he wild! ' Pete was one of the biggest liars on the ranch and he-loved to boast. 1 11 bet I can ride him Pete replied. That was .how it started. The horse was saddled and a hackamore forced on to his head. Pete mounted and was promptly thrown into the air. He climbed on again and the performance was repeated,much to everyone’s amusement. Soon one cowhand after another was climbing into the saddle. But no matter how many tried, the result was always the . ' same, a face full of dirt. The stallion was tired now, but not too tired to notice how the saddle rocked as he pitched. The hastily drawn up cinch-strap was jerking loose, but the’: cowhands were too busy trying to hang on to notice it. Finally as the stallion came down. stiff-legged it came loose enough to slictearound and naturally, unseated the rider by sliding under the horses belly. Now the horse was kicking, rolling, and rearing in an effort to shale the hated thing loose. The saddle was very cooperative and quickly fell off. The stallion ' s main desire now was to escape. He sax r the cowboy just thrown, heading for the gate. He edged toward the cowboy. He waited ’till the gate was open and then charged through, knocking the cowboy down. Four mares and a gelding were in a nearby corral. -The stall ion, heedless of risk, rammed in the gate and stole the mares. He drove the four towards the gate and open country. The ranch hands, who were too startled to move, now ran for their horses. With a mocking whinny, the stallion turned and reared triumphant, then.raced on to disappear behind a ridge. •: - •? • -|V ■. • . . !_• • V... : f .
