On Tuesday, hundreds were entertained by the musical offer ig$ of ten of Churchill’s best singers, accompanied by guitars. his success Flootenanny was of great profit to the Junior Red Cross. After school the next day, Churchill’s own “Kynde” played op hits for active Junior Highs who attended the Soc Hop. Much enjo ed, it left few teachers willing to try our dances again, after suci a tiring effort. Thursday noon found the auditorium packed with enthusiastic supporters of our two star volley ball teams — again both teach srs and students. All three games were won by the staff — as usual. Ending the week, Friday’s dance presented Churchill High with another pretty Miss W.T.W., Jackie Bain.

FROLIC COMMITTEE This year after much hard work, the Frolic Committee presented the Senior High with a varied group of dances, some very successful, and others not quite so well attended. Starting off with a record dance, Bulldog-a-go-go, they fol¬ lowed this with a very successful Shondels Dance in December. In February, at the Pep Week Dance, pretty Jackie Bain was crowned Snow Queen. On April 22, at the masquerade dance, a very select group viewed the crowning of beautiful Queen Myrna Klusiewich and debonair King Dale Wilkie. Chairmen .
