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. Good luck debators 1 43
