MEMORIAL DAY On the morning of November 11th, Churchill students gathered in the auditorium to pay tribute to the Canadian soldiers who lost their lives in the two World Wars. Mr. Robertson opened the service with the invocation and the Lord ' s Prayer. Phil Murray then read For the Fallen by Laurence Binyon, and Eldred Norton read The Dead by Rupert Brooke. In a very impressive talk, Mr. Scurfield told the student body about a recent trip to Europe. He explained what a great effect the wars had on the European people and how these effects are still being felt. Representatives of the Army: Gary Campbell, Navy: Ken Muir, and Air Force: Brian Zimmer, formed a Guard of Honor. The one-minute silence, terminated by the choir ' s singing of the Danish Three-Fold Amen, marked the end of a truly impressive Memorial Day Service. M.U.N.A The fifth Model United Nations Assembly was held this year at Grant Park High School during the Easter holidays. M.U.N.A. is an exact replica of the United Nations meeting in New York. Schools from North Dakota, Minnesota, Ontario, Saskatchewan and Manitoba, each represented one of the ninety-nine member United Nations. Churchill ' s delegates this year were Darlene Belton and Keith Stanley, who represented Costa Rica and found their trip to M.U.N.A. interesting and rewarding. PUBLIC SPEAKING CLUB Last December, because of the efforts of Charlie La Riviere of Room 17 and Charlie Baker of Room 9, a Public Speaking Club was once again organized in Churchill High. Since February the club has been meeting every Wednesday. The club has been capably run under the direction of its president, Fred Keeley, and an executive comprised of one member from each grade. Mr. Longfield acted as teacher-advisor. Meetings took the form of a series of speeches and panel dis¬ cussions, followed by a round of criticism. Judging from the participa¬ tion of the junior grades, the club has a promising future. PAGE 69

SCHOOL TEA This year ' s fall tea was a tremendous success because of the enthusiasm of the teachers and students alike. During the six weeks preceding the tea, committees headed by students and advised by teachers worked on decorations, publicity, foods, serving, pouring and homecooking. Most Senior High Students were involved on one or more of the committees. While these preparations were being carried on behind the scenes, the students made an all out effort in ticket selling. On the morning of the tea the auditorium was decorated with gay maple leaves strewn about the walls and chrysan¬ themums and streamers hanging from the ceiling on hoops. Meanwhile food donations and silverware were being col¬ lected. On the stage stood a football player — a symbol of Churchill ' s team-to-be. Films were provided during the tea for tots in the nursery to give parents a chance to meet and talk with the teachers. Financially, as well as socially, the tea was a total success. The homecooking booth was a rewarding enter¬ prise, and net profits from the tea were $1,800.87. One afternoon following the tea a variety concert was presented by the teachers for the supersalesmen and student conveners. The antics of Alphonse the flea and the rich voice of Mr. Robertson were well received by the audience. The supersalesmen and the convenors felt that the concert and the success of the tea were ample reward for their hard work. Special congratulations are extended to Jacque Cooke and Rowly Lorimer, the student convenors. Thanks go also to the student committee heads, the teacher convenors, the supersalesmen and to the top ticket-selling rooms for their hard work. All in all, this year ' s tea was an outstanding achievement for Churchill High School. CHEERLEADERS Our cheerleaders, under the direction of Mrs. White, personified Churchill school spirit through the peppy manner in which they carried out their cheers. Th e girls, dressed in smart white sweaters and blue pleated skirts, guided the students in many new cheers and a song this year. Under the leadership of Marlene Wilson they did a wonderful job of leading the cheers for the Senior High boy’s basketball teams. ROW 1 — Diane Brewster. ROW 2 — Dianne Morrison, Lynda Scott. ROW 3 — Jill Capri, Liz Robertson. ROW 4 — Marj Mott, Eldred Norton. Missing: Marlene Wilson. PAGE 68

SCIENCE CLUB The past year has seen two major additions to science activities. A junior club under the direc¬ tion of Mr. Froese was set up, and the Astronomy Club completed its six-inch tri-reflecting telescope ' this fall. There were many other projects undertaken this year. Wayne Galaugher did an electronics project with the aid of Mr. Bell. The Astronomy Club attached accessories to their telescope with the hope of taking some pictures of the moon and planets. Mr. Froese and the Junior Club ground their first mirror. In another section of the club, Miss Batycky aided a number of Juniors in pro¬ jects concerning the sky, moon and planets. Fin¬ ally, a pair of scientists built a rock polisher under Mr. Patterson ' s direction. The sale of the jewelry made with this polisher will provide some money for the club trea sury. The Science Club has planned many projects which will keep it busy in the future. Next year however, Mr. Patterson, under whose direction the club was set up, will be leaving. We would like to take this opportunity to express our gratitude to him for having been such a wonderful club director and for having guided the club in all its projects. CHURCHILL HIGH RADIO One of the new innovations in Churchill High this year was a school radio program, broadcast over the P.A. system to the students staying for lunch at noon. The program was organized by Bob Lymburner and Phil Murray, and a group of twelve students, divided into teams of two, acted as announcers and disc-jockeys. The Ter¬ rible Twelve played varied types of music, gave announcements, aired dedications, and offered their jokes. They themselves had a lot of fun, while the program provided very enjoyable listen¬ ing. We certainly hope it will be continued next year.
