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

PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE PHIL MURRAY Churchill ' s sixth year of existence has closed with the realization of a dream born when the school was opened . . . the dream that a football team would someday come to Churchill. This year has seen that dream come true. After six years of patient planning and saving, Churchillites has succeeded in making the Bulldogs a reality. This is the year football came to Churchill and that reason alone makes it, in my opinion, as the most significant year of the school’s history to date. Student Council this year was composed of some sixty- four members including newspaper, Frolic Committee, and yearbook representatives. The duties of this council were mainly to organize and direct school activities which are run by the students themselves. At the same time it provides a place where students may present any new ideas. Meeting almost every week, council was kept busy throughout the year. It determined early that most of this year ' s activities would be dedicated to football and dedicated they were. The School Tea, the dances, the pledge buttons, and the Yearbook, were all dedicated to football. However, this does not mean to say that nothing else was accomplished this year as council succeeded in estab¬ lishing two things in Churchill which are hoped will remain for many years to come. The first of these was the rebirth of the school newspaper under editor Ed Herold. The two issues of the newspaper published this year were very successful and congratulations are due to Ed and his hard¬ working staff. The second activitity initiated into the school ' s life this year was the noon hour radio. Under the direction of Bob Lymburner, six teams of D. J. ' s were set up under the name of the Terrible Twelve . This group assumed responsibility for our refreshing noon hour music and the promotion of school spirit. They succeeded in both fields and for this deserve hearty congratulations from the whole school. One other activity which Student Council sponsored this year, which I feel deserves special mention, was the To Smoke or Not to Smoke slides. These slides proved to be extremely interesting and educational and we hope served the purpose for which they were intended. I suppose I could go on for pages describing Student Council ' s part in this year ' s activities. Such things as the N. E. W. S. basketball tournament, graduation, the School Tea, and the football dances all helped to make the year the most successful and enjoyable in the school ' s short history. I would like to take this opportunity to express a general thank you” to everybody who has helped make the past year so successful and special thanks are due to Eldred Norton, Clarice Carstens, Mr. Martin, Miss Rorke, Mr. Scurfield, Mr. Madder and the office staff, whose support and co-operation are appreciated very much. To work with students such as were on this year ' s council was a very great honor and to all of you a special thank you. In short, thank you, Churcnill, for a truly wonderful year. PHIL MURRAY
