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

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
