Vox, Vicivuaz ... I i Churchill High’s | Voice of Victory $ Early this year, rumors of another newspaper began in Churchill ' s halls. Soon after, stimulated by Bob Lymburner and Phil Murray, a school paper entirely dissimilar to its predecessor — the unsuccessful Churchillite, ' ' was pub¬ lished with Ed Harold as its capable editor and Mr. Long- field as staff-advisor. After the disappointment of the Churchillite, we had to have a new name for our paper; consequently, a contest was held in which Phil Murray suggested the name Vox Victoriae. The two editions which have been published this year were on a trial run basis,, setting a foundation upon which the paper may be based in future years. Since the main organization has been completed this year, in the years to follow, publication may begin the first weeks after regis¬ tration. If the future newspaper staff is willing, there is • no reason why Churchill should not have at least seven issues each year. The hard-working staff of 1961 hopes that next year ' s staff will continue this interesting and rewarding work with the enthusiasm and respect it deserves.

CONFERENCE ON HUMAN RELATIONS On Saturday, April 15th, 1961, Winnipeg’s United College played host to the Fifth Annual High School Students Con¬ ference on Human Relations. One hundred and sixty-eight students from nineteen metropolitan high schools were present at the day-long conference. Mary Downing and Danny Heindl were Churchill’s representatives on the Plan¬ ning Committee. Seventeen delegates from Churchill attended, and found it to be a most profitable and interesting venture. The conference is sponsored annually by the Canadian Council of Christians and Jews, as a means of eliminating discrimination between peoples of different races, religions and ethnic origins. Its chief purpose is to break down the barriers of prejudice, enabling the members of various groups and sects to discuss their problems and differences on common grounds and thus to come to a better knowledge and understanding of one another. For the purpose of discussion seven groups were formed, each with its own topic. Among the topics discussed were: What can we as students do about racial and religious discrimination? , Do radical minority groups and sects have a right to be different in a democracy? and Is education today adequate for the future? . The conference was opened by the Hon. Errick Willis, lieutenant-governor, who expressed the need for a greater understanding between peoples of different races and creeds, and his desire that the conference would help the students in dealing with some of the problems of discrimination. Perhaps the most explosive group of all was the one which discussed Is democracy working as effectively as communism in the struggle for the minds of men? . At first there was lengthy debate over what democracy and communism really stood for. At several points in the dis¬ cussion tempers threatened to flare as a number of the students supported the ’deals of democracy in opposition to the views of one student, whose father was later revealed to be a prominent Canadian Communist Party official. As a result, the discussion strayed from its original topic, and dealt for the most part with the virtues of democracy versus the virtues of communism. The discussion groups met separately for two-hour periods twice during the day. Later in the afternoon, they met as a body and the final conclusions of the groups were ex¬ changed. A small tea dance ended the conference in the late afternoon. PAGE 71

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.
