SENIOR HIGH SENIOR BASKETBALL The Senior High Seniors had a fine season under Mr. Madder and Miss Wands, compiling a 4 win - 4 loss record. Except for a heartbreaking overtime loss to Gordon Bell, their victories over St. John ' s, Grant Park, Sisler, and Elmwood would have given them a spot in the playoffs. The Grade 1 1 girls re- | turning for 12, along with the Juniors shold make a I powerful team next year. ROW 1 — Roberta Graham, Dianne Silver, Marvis Cessford, Mary Scarf, Bonnie Quinton (Captain), Sandra Harris, Lynda Scott, Diane Brewster. ROW 2 — Miss Wands (Coach), Lois Kimball, Judy Ibbott, Noreen Jessop, Leslie Simmons, Beverley Wallin, Megan Thomas, Betty Lorimer, Elizabeth Smith, Mr. Madder (Coach). SENIOR HIGH JUNIOR BASKETBALL The Senior High Juniors ran against some tough competition this year. Although they lost all of their eight games, they put up a good fight and lost three of them by only one point. Under the able coaching of Mr. Madder and Miss Wands these girls showed fine sportsmanship as well as wonderful team spirt. N.E.W.S. BASKETBALL TOURNAMENT Churchill High was host to the first N. E. W. S. basketball tournament on Saturday, February 25th. The other schools competing in the tournament were Selkirk and Winkler with both a boys ' and girls’ team. Grant Park boys ' and Neepawa girls ' . Trophies were awarded to the top male and female teams as well as one to the best cheerleaders. A full day of fine basketball was climaxed when Churchill ' s own varsity team captured the boy ' s trophy, edging Winkler 45-37. The boys ' consolation event was won by Grant Park who defeated Selkirk 71-45. The girls ' trophy was taken home by Winkler after they topped Selkirk 27-19. Churchill ' s girls squeezed past Neepawa 26-23 to win the girls ' consolation. The trophy for the best cheer¬ leaders went to Grant Park. Churchill ' s top scorers were: Boys — Jack Mahan — 37 Jim Irving — 25 Jim Smith — 1 8 Lynn Humphreys — 23 Eldred Norton — 1 1 Marg Simpson—10 The event was a big success. The teams were very evenly balanced and the tournament was attended by a large audience throughout the day. It is hoped that the tournament will become an annual affair with each of the four schools (Churchill, Winkler, Selkirk and Neepawa) hosting it once every four years. PAGE 64

GRADUATION 1 9 5 9 - 6 0 June 10th, 1960 was a memorable day for Churchill High ' s senior students. Graduation was important to the Grade 10 ' s who had been working for months to make it successful but more particularly to the Grade 1 l’s and 12 ' s who were graduating. At the afternoon church service in Crescent Fort Rouge United Church, the valedictory ad¬ dress was given by John Caldwell, the merit awards presented, and an inspirational talk delivered by Mr. A. B. Brown of the Great West Life Assurance Company. Following the church service, a dinner and dance were held at ' the school. The theme was Oriental and the auditorium was appropriately decorated with kites, dragons and Japanese lanterns. The stage setting consisted of a pagoda with a small bridge in the foreground. The dinner, served by girls dressed in Japanese kimonos, was followed by a short programme. The entertainment at the dance carried out the Oriental theme. Mr. Cook ' s version of The Japanese Sandman was well received and a dance done by a group of girls to the tune of Happy Talk ended the entertainment. The 1960 Graduation was a tremendous success and enjoyed by all who participated. The credit for its success goes to the Co-chair¬ men Phil Murray and Eldred Norton, to the student and teacher convenors, and to all who worked so hard behind the scenes. The Yearbook staff regrets that the final publishing deadline in May has made cover¬ age of the 1960-61 Graduation impossible. We feel certain, however, that it will live up to the record of Churchill ' s past graduations, and we wish every success to this year ' s Co- chairmen, Pat Hill and John Downie. ELECTION WEEK The week of September 19th was election week at Churchill High School. Windows were gaily dec- B orated with posters, signs, and slogans and everyone from beat- nick to pirate attempted to make his favourite candidate known to the other students. Friday was the b day. The campaign speeches of the four candidates—Eldred Norton, Clarice Carstens, Phil Murray, and Ed Herold, were heard in the morning and the students made the final decision in the afternoon as to which candidate would receive their votes. The winners were announced at the Election Dance which was held in the evening. Phil Murray was elected as Churchill ' s new president and El¬ dred Norton as vice-presi¬ dent for the 1960-61 school year. PAGE 66
