ROYAL BLUE GOLD 1949-50 A PUBLICATION OF C. H. S. STUDENTS’ UNION CAMROSE - ALBERTA Editor: SYLVIA ISAKSON Ass’t. Editor: DAVE GILMOUR Staff Advisor: MISS JONES ■DEDICATION TO THE GRADUATING CLASS: “Ipsis Este Veri” This above all: To thine own self be true; And it must follow as the night the day, Thou canst not then be false to any man. —Shakespeare. From the Principal and Editor This message in your Year Book is direc¬ ted to all students but on the eve of graduation our thoughts are turned more to those who will not be amongst us next year. How well have we fitted you for the years ahead? You have been besieged with facts, figures and formulas for years but those alone will not suffice for the trials and decisions of the future. Mr. Herbert Morrison had the follow¬ ing notice posted in all classrooms in the schools of London, England, “The teacher could be wrong, think for yourself.” That sums up very nicely what should be the aim of all educational institutions in our way of life. For those who will be leaving home it has special significance. Future decisions will have to be your own. We are never entirely free from teachers ’though those with whom we come in contact may not think of themselves as such. More and more you will have to “think for yourself”. With so many conflicting ideas, ideals and “isms” being tossed around to-day it may be very dif¬ ficult for you to choose. But consider, you have reached your present place in life through the influences of a certain way of life. That way of life, no doubt, has its imperfections, it is a growing way, it was not dreamed up over night and thrust upon you. The opportunity to assist and improve its growth is yours. Weigh carefully the alternatives offer¬ ed by others before you throw it overboard. Be not swayed by smooth words and faraway fields — “Think for yourself”. Enough of preaching. Wherever you go, whatever you do, you carry with you the sincere wishes of each member of the staff for your success and happiness. — C. H. McCLEARY May the following pages serve as a re¬ minder of our activities during the 1949-50 year. We have tried to summarize the events of the year and describe each personality in a few carefully chosen words. We are planning to have the Year Book in your hands before the end of the term, and it is our hope that you will derive as much pleasure from it as we have had in compiling it. I should like to thank: —my staff, for the time and energy they put into this book. —Miss Jones, for her excellent advice and direction. —Mr. Sanders, for the hours spent on photography. —the advertisers who kindly purchased space. —all others who contributed to the publication of this book. To all of you we wish a happy and successful li fe. — SYLVIA ISAKSON Miss C.Shav MiSS S. Hannas VALEDICTORY Graduation is here at last. For twelve or thirteen years we have been learning; we have experienced happiness, sadness, enthusiasm and boredom. The use we make of this learning will determine the real value of our education. When we leave here, some will use this know¬ ledge to seek employment; others attending university will have a sound basis for higher studies. Though our high school days are gone, I hope our desire to learn does not lessen, for every day should bring new exper¬ iences that will broaden our minds. All the degees and diplomas that we might acquire would be worthless if we did not apply the knowledge thus gained to everyday life. The sad part of graduating is saying farewell to Camrose High, our friends and the school activities that have been such an important part of our life. The guidance of our teachers, the companionship of our school chums and the fun we have had together will never be for¬ gotten. To our Principal, Mr. McCleary, and to our teachers who have been so patient when we have been difficult, we express sincere thanks. They have imparted to us various phases of knowledge and have tried to prepare us for becoming useful citizens of tomorrow. To the School Board members who have kept the school run¬ ning smoothly, and to our parents who have encouraged us in our studies, we owe a great debt of gratitude. To the undergraduates who follow us, I extend best wishes for you to be a credit not only to our school but also to the community. In closing I should like to leave with you these words of John Oxenham: “To every man there openeth A way, and Ways, and a Way. And the High Soul climbs the High Way And the Low Soul gropes the Low, And in between, on the misty flats, The rest drift to and fro. But to every man there openeth A High Way and a Low, And every man decideth The way his Soul shall go.” SYLVIA ISAKSON C-Pins 1949S0 Alice Fausnight Eleanor Lomas Bob Robinson Barbara .Nowdrih.

Reminiscences Once again another year is drawing to a close at good ol’ C. H. S. Isn’t it surprising how quickly time passes? Seems hardly any time at all since that first day in high school that we anticipated so much. Grade Ten had an air of expectancy about it. We made friends and developed a new outlook on school life. Remember Initiation that year? The girls certainly set the new style with their long skirts and weren’t those dolls a nuisance! The boys looked especially becoming wearing those tin cans! But our first high school dance made up for any discomfort suffered. The next affair of the season was the Sadie Hawkins Dance, with all its “dogpatch” finery. Indeed the night for the girls to catch their favorite beau! Winter was brightened by the Christmas Dance, and wasn’t the sleigh ride fun, even if we did get rather wet? Spring was issued in by the Calico Dance. Our Carnival Queen candidate was Marie Shaw. Finally came graduation when we had the chance to wear our first formals and new suits. By the time Grade Eleven rolled around, we were well acquain¬ ted with C. H. S. We got a greater kick out of Initiation this year since we were able to lay down the rules Former students of the school talked over old school days at the Alumni Dance. The operetta “H.M.S. Pinafore,” so successfully presented by the Glee Club, was enjoyed by all. The High school was well represented in the annual carnival queen contest by Elsie Nelson. Remember the picnic out at Tillicum Beach? A fun-packed day! The year was appropriately ended by the Closing Exercises, when awards were given to many deserving students.

The Boptet includes Wild Bill ‘Noisy’ Leisen trumpet, Jassy Meraw, tenor, Two Beat Isakson, alto, Mouthpiece Mohler, tenor and Sque¬ aks McLeod, clarinet. All are former stars of the Camrose School Band. Their current recording of “Promotion” is lead¬ ing record sales. ADVOCATES ABOLITION OF ALGEBRA COURSE OTTAWA (C.P.)—Senator Sid Fehr last week introduced a bill to the Senate to eliminate Algebra I from the Alberta High School curriculum. When reporters interviewed him yesterday and asked for a reason why he had sponsored the bill, Senator Fehr replied, “No comment and don’t quote me.” CROONER MOBBED (A.P.)—Wallace Johnston, famous warbler, caused another riot in New York last night. This is the third uprising this month. Women of all ages, from the diaper stage to senility, are completely enthralled with his singing. His tone is likened to liquid honey dripping into a bubbling fountain. Mr. Johnston is the originator of Bo Peep, offspring of Be Bop. FIND HAPPINESS EDMONTON (C.P.)—Mr. D. Noden, Mr. R. Robinson and Mr. J. Kopak, report that they have finally found per¬ fect happiness. “We have found and are about to attain our goal in life,” says Mr. Noden. The trio left yesterday for Nelson B.C., where they are joining a Doukhobor colony. BRINGS FAME TO CAMROSE (N.P.)—On Tuesday, William Milner of Camrose, Alberta, won the national tiddlewinks championship. After the hard- fought victory, Mr. Milner offered some advice to all young athletes. “Train hard and keep in good shape,” he said, “eat the right kind of food and live a quiet life. You too can attain the place in sports which I have gained.” NEWS FROM THE MET (N.P.)—The smashing new broadway hit “Drop Dead My Darling, Drop Dead” opened last week at the Metropolitan Opera House and will continue during the summer season. This successful show, composed by Madam Sondra Schloss and directed by Sir Peter Daintith has been on a world tour for the past four years. The leading lady is the famous lyric soprano, Gwen Asheton-Smith. SCHOOL HOLIDAY DECLARED (C.P.)—Teachers at Camrose High School reported a halfday school holiday on June 30 for the following reasons: each day during the school term there was complete attendance with no lates; assignments done, and every member of math classes had on his person a text, soft pencil, red pencil, hard pencil, ruler, geometry set, notebook, set of log tables, pen, ink. There was absolutely no talk¬ ing, no loitering in the halls, no smoking, no fighting, and ALL answered questions correctly. If the students can match the record set this year, say the teachers, we may allow them a full days holiday next year. WINS CHAMPIONSHIP (A.P.)—Dave Gilmour was awarded the World Chess Championship on Mon¬ day. He defeated “Barney the Blond,” Russian champion in a twelve hour match. Russia has claimed that Mr. Gilmour used chessmen made of ice which he melt¬ ed and froze at will by a secret prepara¬ tion invented by a Russian scientist. Mr. Gilmour was accused of stealing the formula. These reports have been dis¬ counted by neutral observers as they feel Russia is merely trying to further the cold war. Mr. Gilmour says, “I certainly show¬ ed that Siberian who is winning the cold war.” WETASKIWIN HOUSEWIVES BECOME FAMOUS (A.P.)—Mrs. Ernie Collette (nee Rona Brinsmead) and Mrs. Earl Solberg (nee Shirley Brown) both former students at C.H.S. were awared the Nobel prize for housewife efficiency. The women say that they owe their success to Duz. CREDITS SCHOOL TRAINING HOLLYWOOD (A.P.)—The newest gossip columnist in Hollywood is Miss Inez Benson. Miss Benson attributes her success to earlier training at Camrose High School. “I learned all the gossip in C.H.S. Here in Hollywood, all I have to do is change the names.” CAMROSE WINS BASKETBALL TOURNAMENT (C.P.)—A sharp shooting team from Camrose High were the winners of the Annual Tournament held in Lower Slab- ovia last night. The final score w s 44 99 100 to 1 for the Camrcse Girls. Gwen “Free shot” Halstead said,“It was a tough fight, but we made it!” Other members of the championship team are Molly “Dribbles” Klug, Doris “Basket- hittin” Pilger, Dot “Fast passing” Wham- monc} and Vera “Time off” Wickland. I ji 1 |£| | - From the Presidents As first-term president of the Students’ Union, I should like to thank my executive and Mr. Rose for the time and energy they spent in planning school activities. I should also like to extend my appreciation to the students for the splendid co-operation they accorded us in carry¬ ing out our projects. I hope that I have justified the faith you placed in me by electing me as president of the Union. It has been a great honor to fill this position. I offer the best wishes to my successors. BILL LEISEN I wish to express my gratitude to my fellow students, teachers and especially Mr. Rose for their kind and willing co-operation in making the second term so successful. During this term the splendid efforts of the students were well- rewarded when “our Eleanor” was crowned Queen of the Ice Carnival. Late in March the Glee Club presented a successful operetta, “The Mikado.” We hope the audience enjoyed it as much as the Glee Club members enjoyed producing it. The debating and track meet activities have all been well supported this year. May I thank the executive of the Royal Blue and Gold for providing us with such a fine souvenir of our “carefree” days in Camrose High School. To the graduates I wish success in their chosen fields and to the undergrads, happiness in ther remaining years at C. H. S. BOB ROBINSON Reminiscences (Continued from Page 14) We entered Grade Twelve with the aim of studying hard. But it was not an easy goal to attain with so many activities attracting us. Sadie Hawkins and the bus trips to Wetaskiwin and Bawlf to attend their dances were really fun. Then the Christmas Party came along, fol¬ lowed by the Alumni Dance. An enjoyable time was had by all. Once again the Glee Club, under the direction of Mr. McCleary, put on a Gil¬ bert and Sullivan operetta, “The Mikado.” Our congratulations went to our own Eleanor Lomas who was successful in receiving the honor of reigning over the annual ice carnival. The highlight of the years at C.H.S. came with our graduation Banquet and Dance. An unforgettable occas¬ ion! With the exams in June we’d soon be leaving behind our eventful high school days at C. H.

He brought the grade tens and several new-comers into the lime-light through skits and solos as well as initiating the freshmen teachers in a radio show. The “Bus Stop” charac¬ ters and the ballet dancers “Bee and Bop” proved popular artists. All will remember Flappy Hips Fossen conducting Stretchy Girdle VanSycle, Hagle Bagle Bones and Q-Ball Billiard. Pie and cokes were sold after the big show, with a short jam session following, courtesy of Mr. Rose and Mr. McDonnell. The Glee Club gave us an enjoyable two hours of Christmas Carols at a concert on December 14. Our new programme convener, Barb Howarth, presented an Amateur Hour on March 8, with contestants from the John Russel School, the College and C. H. S. participating. Once more we were reminded of the varied and well-developed talent in Camrose. The audience were particularity thrilled by Lawrence Blondheim’s rendition of “Lucky Old Sun” and voted this laddie top entertainer. The High School Orchestra placed second while Gwen Smith was awarded third prize. The School Band, though not contesting, entertained the audience at the beginning and end of the programme. The proceeds went to the March of Dimes. As the losers in the Carnival Ticket contest, the Grade Tens willingly paid their forfeit and presented a highly-entertaining Lit on the afternoon of April 6. We were pleasantly surprised at such a revela¬ tion of talent among the younger students. It varied from laughter- provoking skits, musical numbers and recitations to an impromptu duet by two of the teachers. Well done, kids! We should like to congratulate Bob and Barb on their fine performances as Programme Conveners and to say “thank you” for a first class job. The first social event of the year, in the form of the Initiation Dance, took place in the gym on September 16. A Bingo Dance, introduced by our newly-elected president and secretary, Bill Leisen and Eleanor Lomas, started the ball rolling. A Congo line, the French Minuet and Mixed Tag proved to be some of the more popular dances. Mr. Bakken contributed to the liveliness of the evening with the calling of a Square Dance and Circle Dance. While a delicious lunch was being served, an impromptu programme was staged. Two solo numbers with orchestra accompani¬ ment were “done up” by Gerry Blondheim and Bonnie McLeod. Mr. Rose was coaxed into “giving out” with some of his wonderful boogie- woogie. The winners of the Squat Dance were Eleanor Nelson and Vigil Nelson. Eunice Lyseng and Gordon Talbot were awarded the prizes for the best costumes of the week. Just before the last dance, it became known that the day was Mr. McCleary’s birthday; so naturally he was given the Royal Bumps — all ninety of them! Twelve o’clock brought to a close a very hectic, but enjoyable evening. The Grade ll’s did a wonderful job of the 1949 Initiation and the Grade 10’s were swell sports. We’ll never forget it, kids! 34 •Sadie Hawkins Sadie Hawkins week at C. H. S. came into its own this year with all the old customs, plus a few new ones. On Friday, the day of the dance, everyone arrived at the “Halls of Larnin” in traditional Dog Patch style. The Sadie Hawkins Jounce, the climax of a wonderful week of fun, turned out to be the usual grand success. Jive music supplied by Dickinson’s orchestra, attracted Daisy Maes and Li’l Abners from far and wide. ’Neath the bouncing Kigmies and grotesque comic figures, we whirled around merrily to the Abner Amble, the Tombstone Trot, the Kickapoo Krawl and the Joy Juice Jounce. A pesonnage in long, red underwear and an even redder face appeared half-way through the dance. Could this be our “revered” principal? Hardly had we re¬ covered from this surprise, when Mr. Sanders came on the scene, ready for hunting, even to his permit. He herded us to each side of the hall in order to “shoot” us! The traditional jeans and plaid shirts were most in evidence amongst the dancers. Prizes for the best costumes went to Joan Rattell of Bawlf and to Gene Dunphy of Lower Slabovia. Everyone was pretty well ready for the “Home Sweet Home” by the time it rolled around but we still regretted having to say goodbye to Sadie Hawkins for another year. 35 Christmas and Alumni An experiment in school entertainment was conducted on the eve of December 22 in the form of a Christmas party. The fun began at eight o’clock sharp with a lively game of Bingo, ably conducted by Mr. McCleary. Then ensued an hilarious and somewhat hazardous round of three deep, since we found it rather slippery to race in stocking feet! Ping pong, Chinese Checkers and other contests continued in Room 5 while our own High School Orchestra supplied music for the dancing enthusiasts. The largest Christmas tree in C. H. S. history deck¬ ed the center of the floor. Mr. Sanders was kept busy dodging around its many sparkling ornaments in order to catch some rather interesting shots ’neath the mistletoe — a favorite trysting spot for many couples! A delicious lunch was served later on in the evening. All in all, the infomal Chistmas party was a complete success and it is hoped it will become an annual affair. Although December 27 was one of the coldest nights of the winter, a grand crowd of former students, graduands, and guests flocked to the 1949 Alumni Dance. A huge Christmas tree in the centre of the room, the ladies in their pastel formals, and the dreamy music of Don Dickinson’s orchestra set the scene for a really lovely evening. The Christmas spirit prevailed throughout the dance, and one of our happier couples, Mr. John Protti and Miss Gwen Maland sang a very cute version of “I’ve Got a Lovely Bunch of Coconuts.’’ A refreshment committee, provided by the Graduating Class, prepared a scrumptious lunch. Young and old, from sixteen to sixty, all had a wonderful time. Congratulations to the graduating class for sponsoring such an outstanding evening of fun! 36 Sleigh Ride February 10 was the date set for the greatly anticipated sle : gh ride. At eight o’clock approximately eighty kids climbed into two hayracks. After everyone had craned his neck and smiled for the “birdie,” eve were cff. A trip to the C.P. stock yards soon settled the lack cf straw problem, although it was felt by many that it would be much better on the floor than in our eyes and mouth. For nearly an hour people looking out of their windows wondered what new locomotive had been invented. Then that glorious moment arrived — the trip around the college! Suddenly amid the shouting, disaster struck. Students came flying and tumbling from a rack showering clouds of straw. Due, probably, to the many layers of clothing, no bones were broken and only minor bruises, and later, stiffness were suffered by the victims. Back at the school once more, everyone participated in games and relays while waiting for the doughnuts which the teachers served and the hot coffee Jake had made while we were absent. Then, the High School orchestra provided us with dance music and those not interested in dancing (or too tired to dance!) adjourned to Room 5 to play ping pong, checkers or crokinole. Later in the evening Barbara Howarih conducted an amusing weiner-eating stunt. Floyd Fossen and Elly Nelson challenged “B” Buckingham and Maxine Brandt. After a great deal of messing in mustard, Bob and Maxine were proclaimed the “winnahs” and were awarded with suitable prizes. When at last the orchestra played “Home Sweet Home” teachers and students alike, although somewhat battered in spots had thoroughly enjoyed a fun-packed evening. 37 April 21 was the first day of spring for C. H. S. students. As a tonic for spirits wearied by countless (?) hours of studying for Easter exams, “The Rustle of Spring” lured our girls into their gayest attire. The gym itself was beautifully decorated for the occasion by pastel streamers, provided by Gordon and gang. Dickinson’s orchestra, as if imbued with spring fever, kept us whirling gaily in polkas, waltzes, fox trots and hilarious square dances throughout the evening. Outstanding featues of the dance were the waltz and jitterbug contests. Two of our guests from Bawlf won the prizes for their waltz¬ ing, while Lorraine Terry and Eddy Wong gave an exhibition of energetic jive which captured the jitterbug honors. During the evening, Gwen Smith favoured us with two numbers. A enjoyable lunch, served by Norma Jean and her committee, sustained the weary dancers for another hour. Too soon, however, twelve o’clock rolled around and to the strains of the “Home Sweet Home” we bade farewell to another successful school dance. 38 Operetta MIKADO For many of us the most important event of the social calendar was “Our Operetta.” Early in February the Glee Club, under the direc¬ tion of Mr. McCleary, started work on the comic operetta, “The Mikado” by Gilbert and Sullivan. After hours and hours of practices, the final dress rehersals rolled around all too soon and March 23, 24 and 25 came even more quickly. The principals were as followes: Mikado of Japan - -- -- --.Red Evenson, Wes Gerber Nanki-Poo (his son) a disguised minstrel - -- -- -- - -Wallace Johnston Ko-Ko (Lord High Executioner of Titipu) - -- -- -- -- - Bob Hagel Pooh-Bah (Lord High Everything Else) ----------- Sid Fehr Pish-Tush (a Noble Lord) ------------ Floyd Fossen Yum-Yum (Ward of Ko-Ko) ------- Laverne Feragen, Bonnie McLeod Pitti-Sing (Ward of Ko-Ko) -.- Barbara Howarth, Gwen Smith Peep-Bo (Ward of Ko-Ko) ----------- Reta Hilliard Katisha (an elderly lady in love with Nanki Poo) - Lois Cleveland, Marion Hilland The remainder of the cast was composed of nobles of Japan and Yu m Yum’s schoolmates. At the Matinee on March 22 all seemed in fine shape but beware! The next day measles struck down our Mikado Red Evenson. Fortunately Wes Gerber was able to fill in the breach. Back stage even those who claimed not to be nervous were a little jumpy. Actors and actresses were scurrying about repairing make-up that had been uncon¬ sciously rubbed off, sucking lemons or trying to remember cues. After several appearances on stage, however, courage and confidence moun¬ ted. Spirits likewise soared to new heights on each consecutive evening. In fact emotions were so tense on the final evening that the actors could not refrain from turning away for mirth in one exceptionally fine scene. This momentary lapse only added to the audience’s enjoyment. The tremendous applause following the finale testified to a most delight¬ ful evening for all. At the conclusion of Saturday evening’s performance, the cast began the merrymaking by presenting a charming parody of “Charlie My Boy.” Lovely gifts were then presented to Miss Shaw, Corinne Leisen and Mr. McCleary as a token of our appreciation and remem¬ brance of their work. After removing our make-up we were treated to a delicious lunch prepared by the Home and School Association. We shall long remember our production of “The Mikado,” e’en though our Trig formulas and French verbs may vanish. How would it be possible to erase the memory of yellow tans and slanting eye¬ brows, acquired at the hands of the merciless make-up committee? The colorful k ' imonas and pyjamas, the cluster of flowers and those amusing pigtails really made us feel Japanese. No indeed, we shall never forget the sympathetic “Titwillow”, “The Wandering Minstrel” or “If You Want To Know Who We Are!” The tremendous success of the operetta must be chiefly attrib¬ uted to Mr. McCleary who so capably and willingly directed the many voices. Corinne should also receive credit and a word of thanks, for we feel sure that a more patient accompanist “just couldn’t be found.” To all those who prepared posters and stage sets, to the drama class, make¬ up and lighting crews, and especially to the many Camrosians who so kindly lent costumes for the occasion, we should like to simply say “thank you very much.” 39 Graduation Graduation, that dream-dusted day which we had anticipated for so many years, finally became a reality on May 18. Graduands with their proud parents and guests gathered in the High School Auditorium at 6:30 that evening for a delicious turkey dinner prepared by the ladies of the Anglican Church. Following the banquet, Bob Robinson, President of the Students’ Union proposed the toast to the King and everyone rose to sing “God Save the King” in response. A toast to Camrose High School was proposed by Gwen Halstead of the Graduating Class with W. L. Knaut responding. Mr. E. Basant, in his toast to the Graduands, provided some sound advice which we, as young men and women and citizens of this country, should remember throughout our lives. Dave Gilmour, President of the Graduating Class, replied suitably to this toast. The first number on the very enjoyable programme was a cornet solo by Virgil Nelson. Bob Hagel revived memories of the “Mikado” by a touching rendition of “Tit-Willow” and then amused us with his jazzed version of it. A sextet consisting of Barbara Howarth, Laveme Feragen, Verna Stewart, Delores Neske, Eleanor Lomas and Verna Lomas entertained us with the harmonious “June Rhapsody.” Dr. W. H. Swift, the Deputy Minister of Education, as our guest speaker, set forth a few of the characteristics of an educated person. The well-bred man of to-day is easily recognized by his ready fund of know¬ ledge, his unbiased attitude, his critical mind developed through exper¬ ience and his willingness to accept responsibility. We thoroughly enjoyed Dr. Swift’s inspiring words. The Valedictory address which followed was ably delivered by Sylvia Isakson, 4a Graduation The Graduation Dance climaxed a wonderful evening. The girls in their lovely evening dresses complemented by corsages, the boys in their best suits, and all with happy, smiling faces, looked forward to an unforgettable occasion. Gordon Reid and his committee did a splendid job of decorat¬ ing for the grand affair. In fact we might say that the auditorium with its multicolored streamers looked gayer than we had ever seen it. Our extra-curricular activities were highlighted in silver on a blue back¬ ground. The inconspicious “homework” emblem drew some merry com¬ ments. Dickinson’s Orchestra nearly outdid themselves again in supply¬ ing good music for dancing. Winners of the prize waltz were Marion Tangen and Frank Meraw. The waltzes, fox-trots and especially the grand march were greatly enjoyed by the dancers. In the wee-small hours of the morning we were obliged to say good-bye to the 1950 Graduation. Now we would have to prepare for the down-to-earth final exams in a few short weeks. Our Graduation will remain, however, the brightest gem in our souvenir chest of High School memories.

S. with the Rotary debates as the basis and the Rotary Debating Cup as the goal. Under the capable guidance of Miss Shaw, the club is supported by en¬ thusiastic debators of which the following were elected as officers: President ----- Elwood Skog Vice-President - - - Bill Milner Secretary ----- Verna Lomas Programme.Sid Fehr At the first debate, held November 13, Sid Fehr and Gwen Smith, upholding the negative of “Resolve that voting in Parliamentary and Municipal elections should be compulsory,” emerged victorious over the College. On January 23 Verna Lomas and Elwood Skog successfully defended C. H. S. from the negative stand-point on the topic “Resolved that the Communist Party be barred from Canadian Politics.” Febru¬ ary 27 saw Wallace Johnston and Verna Stewart carry the Royal Blue and Gold triumphantly to victory in defending the negative of “Resolve that Heredity has made a greater contribution to the Progress of Civil¬ ization than Environment.” Well done kids! But it wasn’t all work. The club not only offered speech train¬ ing but an enjoyable time. Every second week the gathering took the form of a luncheon meeting and there were also several theatre and social parties. The contestants for the cup in the final debate, “Resolved that Religion has Contributed More to the Progress of Cilvilization than Science”, will be Sid Fehr and Bill Milner.

The Royal Blue and Gold reports a very successful year with the publication of eight issues. The editor of the first term papers was BerniceHagel while the papers of the second term were produced by Sondra Schloss. The editors must be congratulated on the regular edit¬ ions, the greater size and the added variety of their issues. The papers kept us informed on the latest social and sports activities, who’s who ’round the school, the editor’s viewpoint and even some points on how to study! Early in the year, a contest to select the attributes of the ideal male and female aroused great interest. The Grade Twelves once more had the pleasure of editing the January 11, 1950 issue of the Camrose Canadian. Many thanks go to Mr. King and his staff. Bob Robinson as editor was capably assisted by Sondra Schloss and Johnny Kopak while Bill Milner held the position of office manager. Members of the two staffs wish to thank Miss Guild, Staff representative, for her patience, advice and constant help. 44 Front Row (left to right)—Laverne Feragen; Inez Benson; Gwen Smith; Cecilia Shermak; Rona Brinsmead; Mr. McCleery; Corinne Leisen; Delores Neske; Sylvia Isakson; Marion Tangen; Grace Soderstrom.

Humming the beautiful theme, “Silent Night, Holy Night”, the Glee Club opened its Christmas Carol Concert on Dec. 14. The chorus sang many old and new carols and especially delighted the audience with the heart-warming old favourite, “ ’Twcs The Night Before Christmas”. The Drama Class also entertained with a com- m endable preseBtation of The major undertaking of the Glee Club this year was, of course, “The Mika¬ do”.

In the early part of this term, the Camrose School Band was divided into two sections, the Senior and the Junior, with practices on Monday and Tuesday evenings. The playing style and quality of the Senior Band has improved steadily throughout the year, under the capable direction of Mr. W. Wilson, Mr. M. W. McDonnell with the assistance of Mr. F. Harris, Mr. J. Findlater, Mr. W. Leisen and Mr. C. Pearson. Our first attempt at marching and playing was made in the rsovember 11 parade. Since then we have played at the Ice Carnival, Rotary and Board of Trade meetings, the “It’s a Date” show and other functions. The Drum Majorettes, under the direction of Miss M. Jones, have also displayed their twirling talent on these occasions. The band has received invitations to play at the Hardisty Stampede, the Camrose Fair and Elk Island Park this summer. We would like to take this opportunity to thank Mr. Wilson, Mr. McDonnell and Miss Jones for their help and direction this season. The newly-formed High School Orchestra, under the direction of Mr. McDonnell, and Mr. D. A. Rose, has been one of the most popular dance orchestras in town, especially with the teen-agers. They have been in attendance at several Cam-Teen dances and school parties throughout the year. Bob Hagel Gordon Reid Sylvia Isakson Joan Mohler Virgil Nelson piano drums alto sax tenor sax trumpet Cheer Leaders Something new, something different has been added to C.H.S. Seven girls led by Dorothy Lilge have started a cheering section. The basketball players felt they were a definite asset to the teams on the out- of-town floors and especially at the tournament in Red Deer. The girls made most of their own yells and will be remembered for their rendition of such cheers as “Rag Mop” and “Back to the Bush”.

The Inter-School Christian Fellowship got off to a good start with a big corn feed held on the shores of Red Deer Lake and a hay-ride on Thanksgiving ' Day. Cam- rose was well represented at the Fall Conference in Edmonton and W. Fulton, I.S.C.F,. provincial head, visited Camrose twice during the year. In February the group had the privilege of entertaining the Wetask ' win I.S.C.F. on one of their several sleigh rides. The Bible Studies were very capably led by Mr. Max Runions who will be greatly missed since he moved to Lethbridge. All members feel a very successful year was spent enjoying Christian Fellowship. JACOB MUELLER Of Swiss descent, Mr. “Jake” Mueller was born in 1891. About thirty years later, he came to Canada where he farmed, first at Edberg and later at Ohaton. World War II saw Jake off once more for thirty-n ' ne months in the Canadian Army. Upon his return, he made his heme in Camrose. On July 15, 1945, Jake really “let himself into some¬ thing” when he accepted the janitor’s position of Cam¬ rose High School. (Five years later however, he tells us he still likes the kids around here!) His two sons and daughter live in town. Jake’s favourite food is spaghetti which he not only learned to like but even made during his war days in Italy. Jake must ge praised for his patience and excellent care of the building and its grounds. His personal in¬ terest in his work makes us proud to be attending “olde C.H.S.” Yes, we truly appreciate you and like that friendly spiije pf yours!

Under the supervision of Miss Hannas and Miss Shaw, some thirty players held practices twice a week. The Club selected an execu¬ tive in the persons of Johnny Kopak, President; Inez Benson, Vice-Pres¬ ident and Gwen Halstead, Secretary-Treasurer. There were many new faces at the practices and it wasn’t long before the new members were up to the playing calibre of the older ones. One tournament, held among club members, saw some very keen comp¬ etition. Since the badminton season ended early, we were unable to run off championships. However, we were well satisfied with a successful year. SKIING A new and singular honour was brought to Camrose and to C.H.S. this year by one of our Grade XI students, Carl Gotaas. In the Dominion Finals of the Ski Tournament at Banff, he was runner-up for the Junior Championship. Irvin Ser- vold, a former C.H.S. student, won the trophy. In the Camrose Tournament later, they both defeated men who were much older and more ex¬ perienced, Carl placing first, and Irvin second. We are indeed proud of our students’ wonderful achievements and wish them luck in the future. 50 Curling Just as soon as the ice was in shape, all the curling enthusiasts, broom in hand, hastened over to the rink for their first practices. Under the capable guidance of Mr. McCleary, newcomers were shown the rudi¬ ments of the game. During the season, a round-robin competition with the College roused keen interest, though College rinks topped both sections. The High School District Playdowns were held here on January 27 and 28. The rink which represented C. H. S. was composed of Lome Reeves (skip), Leo Barth (third), Bob Robinson (second), and Doug Nodin (lead). Our entry was not so successful as last year’s but we are hoping to have strong contenders for the Taylor and Pearson trophy next year. A club bonspiel on March 18 found rinks from Round Hill, Bawlf, Rosalind and the College competing with the High School teams. The Deardoff rink from Rosalind won the honors. In addition, our school was represented at outside ’spiels in Bawlf, Rosalind, Round Hill and Wetaskiwin. At Wetaskiwin we curled for the Central Alberta Championships. On behalf of all student curlers, we should like to thank Mr. McCleary for his splendid help and direction during the year.

SENIOR GIRLS’ BASKETBALL The Senior Girls’ team of 1949-50 had a successful year. The composite result of games played with the College and with Wetaskiwin High during this season was seven in our favour with only two defeats. The tournament in Red Deer on April 1st was, of course, the hi-lite of the year. The girls held their own against Wetaskiwin and Olds but were unable to qualify for the Central Alberta Championship when defeated by Innisfail. The Junior and Senior teams wish to extend their sincere app¬ reciation to Mr. Basant who gave freely of his time in teaching us the rudiments of the game and provided a fresh impetus for basketball in C. H. S. We should also like to thank Wallace Johnston and August Schneider for their tireless efforts as assistant coaches. 52 Basketball Front Row (left to right)—Bob Morgan. Peter Feth. Mr. Basant, Carl Gotaas, Danny Bogda. Back Row—John Stewart, Leo Klug, Harold Boraas, Wallace Johnstone, August Schneider BOYS’ BASKETBALL This was the year of surprises and, as far as the Senior Boy’s basketball team was concerned, it was the “Cinderella” team of C.H.S. During the year the team played many a hard-fought battle with the College and also had a home and home series with the Wetas- kiwin High School. Although their victory string wasn’t a record, they played great basketball. The hard practice and the coaching paid off in the Basketball Tournament, which was held in Red Deer. The Seniors came through with flying colors, losing only to Red Deer in the championship game. There were two first-year players on the Senior team this year and some excellent Juniors coming up for next year. With such prospec¬ tive members and a continuation of Mr. Basant’s first-class coaching, we should be able to make a strong bid for the Central Alberta Champion¬ ship next April. Due to the fact that the tournament and the Easter holidays were only a week apart, the basketball season ended early in April, with track and baseball taking over after the vacation. 53 Basketball JUNIOR GIRLS’ BASKETBALL Front Row (left to right)—Anna Schmidt.

Many enthu¬ siastic members turned out to practices, how¬ ever, and a strong team was soon on hand to meet all compet¬ itors. At the pre¬ sent time the girls are plann¬ ing games with ' the surrounding towns and we hope they will be successful. A house league may be formed if outside com¬ petition is limit¬ ed, Miss Guild, our staff advisor did an excellent job supervising. Front Row (left to right)—Bob Keen; Lyal McDonald; Danny Bogda; Carl Gotaas; Lloyd Walline. Back Row—Doug Wahl; Doug Noden; Harold Boraas; Mr. Bakken; Don Walline; Bud Rud; Adam Klug. It wss not until the lat¬ ter part of April that the H. S. baseball teams were able to hold practices this year. With Mr. Bak¬ ken as staff advisor, the following officers were chosen: Captain, Lyle McDonald; Asst. Captain, Harry Boraas; Sec., Dan¬ ny Bogda. First a house league was drawn up to allow all enthusiastic players “to show their stuff.” Games with the Camrose Luther¬ an College took place about twice a week, with the High School players proving to everyone to be all-round sports. The games alternated be¬ tween the two schools. An all-star team was chosen to represent our High School and they journeyed t o nearby towns to play against teams of their own cali¬ bre. 55 PROFESSIONAL CARDS Best Wishes to the Graduates from: THE SMITH CLINIC BURGESS McKAY PHYSICIANS AND SURGEONS BARRISTERS — SOLICITORS F.
