THE KEY CLUB Each Wednesday noon, the members of the B. C. I. V. S. Key Club, one of 2,060 such groups comprising Key Club International, meet to have lunch together, hear informative and entertaining speeches, and conduct the business of a very active organization of forty-three members. As a junior Kiwanis Club, our club enjoys the close association with a group of community leaders. Members have the opportunity to learn about the proper meeting procedure and their responsibilities in a club of service. They have a chance to develop initiative and leadership ability, to learn more about the community and citizenship, and to gain a broader knowledge of various businesses and professions. The efforts and funds of the Key Club are directed toward serving the school and the community, and helping our sponsor, the Kiwanis Club of Brantford, to carry out is programme. The Key Club ' s donation of lights for our school dances, its assistance in last year ' s Careers Night , and the promotion of school spirit were accompanied by donations to the Red Cross and Commiuiity Chest, and food hampers for needy families at Christmas. These accomplishments, along with many others, cause the members to feel that they have had a very successful year, as each works to uphold the Key Club objectives and the theme for 1961, Combat Complacency , and to guide his life by his member- ship pledge: I pledge on my honor to uphold the objectives of Key Club International: to build my home, school and community; to serve my Nation and God and combat all forces which tend to undermine these institutions. — John Canning 13A FRENCH CLUB Bonjour, mes amis. This is the French Club reporting from Room 209. For the first time in several years, sufficient interest has been aroused to form a club of French-study students, and we hope our endeavours will prove successful. Under the direction of Miss M. Fox, we meet on alternate Monday nights after school. The only requirements for would-be members are regular attendance and an effort to speak French at the meetings. Our first meeting was in the form of a Soiree de Noel at the home of Jan Turner. At our second meeting, w e were entertained by five members of last year ' s On to Quebec Club, who related their experiences in Quebec last summer. Films about France were shown at the third meeting. We are planning many more programmes full of fun, and, we hope, French. Our executive meets on the Mondays between regular meetings. John Kruspe is our president, Claudette LeBlond our vice-president, Jan Turner our programme convener, and Miss Fox our staff advisor. Our members consist of students from grades 10 and 9A, who want more French than is offered in class. We want not only to improve our accents and vocabulary, and to become better acquainted wdth the French language, but to learn more about France, the French people, and their way of life. If you are interested in French and would like to join us, there is a place for you. So w hy not attend our next meeting? A bientot, mes camarades! — Suzanne Allen lOA

JUNIOR RED CROSS The opening of the book exchange last September marked the beginning of Red Cross activities for 1960- ' 61. The selling of chips and milk during the lunch hour also started just after the opening of school. At every football game during the fall, eager members could be seen selling potato chips. The profits from these money-making ventures are used to finance Red Cross projects. The chief of these is the adoption ot a school in Greece. The B.C.I Red Cross is one of many throughout Canada to send 1 chest of supplies to its adopted school. In exchang j for these, we receive arts and crafts from the studen ts of our school. Just before Christmas, a wrapping bee was ht.ld to wrap the gifts sent by our Red Cross to the Family Service Bureau. These presents were given to teen- agers in Brantford who, otherwise, would receive no Christmas gifts. Presents were also sent to the Beck Sanitarium in London. Each year the Inter-School Council takes Christ- mas to Ohsweken. This year was no exception. Members of the council distributed toys and clothing to the students of one of the schools and fruit baskets to patients in the Lady Willingdon Hospital. A very successful dance, the Black Cat Rumble , was held in January. Pat Nobbs was chosen Queen of the Black Cats. Refreshments were sold by members at Variety Night and on Field Day. The success of the B.C.I. V.S. Red Cross de- pends solely on the efforts of its members. This club would not be what it is to-day if it were not for the enthusiasm and will-to-work of the students. In 1960- ' 61 we were fortunate to be under the capable guidance of our new staff advisor, Mrs. N. R. Kelley. This year ' s executive consisted of the following: President, Merrilyn Lindsay; Vice-Presid- ent, Libby Florence; Treasurer, Liz Nobbs; Secretary, Ginny Thomson; Milk Chairman, Sue Forbes; Out- side Activities Chairman, Marg. Farquhar; Year Book, Louise Alway; Boys ' Project Chairman, Duncan Preston. — Ginny Thomson 12B SKETCH CLUB Front Row — Kit Merriam, Dorte EUers, Wendy Marshall (Secretary), Mr. Hatherley (Staff Advisor), Vicky Seraganian President), Cheryle Myhal, Sandy Waters. Back Row — Mike Watson, Judy Page, Jan Turner, Judy Wigmore (Treasurer), Joanne Free, John Scrimgeour. SKETCH CLUB If you look into the Art Room any Wednesday after four o ' clock, you will find the members of the Sketch Club eagerly drawing. After beginning our year with the payment of a small fee for the use of art material, we formed our offices and elected officers, with Vicky Seraganian as our president. Under the very capable supervision of Mr. Hatherley, we draw what appeals to us most. The theme for the Commencement dance, Alice in Wonderland , was partly prepared by the Club, and many hours were spent painting the scenes for Hamlet. After the conclusion of last year ' s Easter examinations, we held a dance with a futurama setting. This included rockets, spaceships, and planets to give the dance an artistic effect. In February a trip to Toronto was undertaken to allow us to visit the Art Gallery, the Museum, and the Ontario College of Art. The Sketch Club provides us with an hour each week of our common pastime. A few who are not able to take art as an option find, along with the other members, that this is a most enjoyable and profitable way to spend our time. — Dorte Eilers llA CAMERA CLUB This year, with aid from the Students ' Council, the Camera Club has acquired a print dryer to add to the equipment of the darkroom. We have had various interesting guest speakers attend our meet- ings to tell us of their experiences in photography, and to relay to us their knowledge of the topic. Inside our darkroom, members can watch their favourite negatives being transferred to paper. By these, and other means, we are able to delve into the mysterious but exciting world of photography. We would like to thank Mr. Barrie, Mr. Hanes, and Mr. Morgan for their fine supervision. Special thanks go to the Students ' Council for its co-opera- tion and contribution. — Lois Cameron 13A Page 47

Among these, several helped in putting on the make-up for the Inter-School Festival. During the first few weeks of January, we took in about 30 new members from Grades 10 and 11 who were trained by the more experienced members in the art of applying make-up. As in the past years, we took on one outside activity. Although we weren ' t directly involved, our make-up was used by the Orpheus CLUB Society for their production. In the middle of Feb- ruary, for Hamlet, the major B.C.I. Drama Club production, the Make- Up Club participated to its fullest. On behalf of all members, I would like to thank Mrs. Moor for the time, effort and patience she gave us during this year. — Ann Howard IIC Page 49
