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”. Leader—Dot Lilge; Maxine Brandt, Gen Kopak, Inez Benson, Gwen Smith, Jenny Kwapisz, Barbara Howarth, Laverne Feragen, 47

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.

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!
