VOX VICTORIAE ‘‘This year the reporting staff of the Vox Victoriae became a collection of true journalists,” commented one reader. Why,” quipped our shrewd second-year editor, Peter Trevillion, I didn ' t think we were that good. What a naive judgement!” “Yes,” added quick-witted Cathy Menzies, Peter ' s co-editor, I wonder that we put forth effort for such an undiscriminating audience.” With the leadership abilities of the co-editors summed up, there remains to be said something of the staff. With this behind us, there now is a need for words concerning the Vox Victoriae itself. It was . . . easy to read. This is not to say that the year was without significant accomplishments. Indeed, the Vox Victoriae managed to produce its first neurotic-depressive victim by its mastery of the art of ennui”. Never before did the deadline take such a beating, but the quality of reporting was such that anger was soon changed to . . . laughter. Future Vox Victoriae staffs will find such impressive credits difficult to exceed. PAGE 58

PEP CLUB Churchill High’s boisterous Pep Club, generating enthusiasm all over the school, has done much for our worthy teams this year. In the fall, transportation was provided, in the form of chartered buses, for every football game, and Pep Club delegates cheered our team on to victory after victory. All through the football, soccer, and basketball seasons, pep rallies were held. Parades, and posters advertising games (strategically placed), did much to help attendance at all games. The Club helped with the Bulldog dance, sold tickets for speedskating races and a very important track meet, and publicized an inter-high basketball tournament. One important step taken was the joining of the Pep Club as a committee of Student Council, si, it is hoped that the enthusiasm of last fall will be revived and continued throughout the year with this new aid.

In spite of this they met with unrewarding results in the Free Press Christmas tournament; during the next few months they came up with Zoltan Bodnar as school champion. Sometimes, in their practices, they play “Give-away Chess or treat hypothetical situations. Theses boys are sincerely interested in becoming good chess players and next year should bring a really good club together. Staff Advisor .. Mr. J.

? M W MM am. RED CROSS YOUTH The Red Cross has had a very exciting and successful year. Hootenanies, candy sales and student-teacher games, with the money gathered by Tibor Csapo’s coat checkers, have supplied the funds for two important projects. The Red Cross purchased a wheel-chair for the King George Hospital which bears a plaque inscribed with the school’s name. Also forty-five hampers were delivered at Christmas to needy families. We owe much to the teacher sponsors, Mrs. Cartwright, Mrs. Bond, Mr. Derwin and Mr. Whitham. President . Carolyn Jones Vice President Melvin Trump Secretary Roslyn Russell FRENCH CLUB The French Club, which originated near the end of the year had quite an active program. Two of our staff, Miss Redmond and Miss Grindley, led this club. At their first few meetings, they learned how to speak correctly on the telephone (in French). On the following Day 6, general conversation filled the time from 12:30 to 1:10. Next the club tried a bit of Drama, when it acted out a scene taking place in a restaurant. For the remainder of the year, they had on the agenda such projects as visiting St. Boniface, and viewing films of France taken by Miss Redmond. It is hoped that many new members will join in the coming year, for with a larger club, much can be accomplished. UNITED NATIONS Based on the international United Nations, Churchill High ' s UN Club dis¬ cussed and debated topics concerning United Nations ' objectives. They have viewed several films on its operation. Mr. Koo, of our own staff, spoke to the club on his homeland China, mainly concerning Hong Kong.
