GRAD ’65 In the words of Marguarite Keeley, the valedictorian. Graduation 1965 truly represented the threshold of a new adventure . Following tradition, closing exercises were held in Crescent-Fort Rouge Church, where well-deserved scholarships and merit awards were presented. The work of convenors Elaine Forsythe and David Hill, ably assisted by many co-workers, produced a most suc¬ cessful banauet in delightful surroundings. Our prosaic lunchroom was transformed into a mini¬ ature South Pacific island, with tropical flowers, vines, a fountain, mural, and a thatched hut where cooling liquids were dispensed. Later, a hula dance, followed by the teachers skit, heightened the effect of the luscious setting and provided a welcome interlude. The gowns of the girls were gorgeous, with their escorts fabulous in formal attire. The subtle wit of the M.C. Roger Belton and the music of Lew Dickson ' s Band contributed much to the evening. Altogether, Grad ' 65 was a meaningful and joyous occasion, long to be remembered. ELECTIONS 1965-1966 This year ' s elections saw Carol Quarn- strom and Glenda Stefaniuk vying for Vice-President and Peter Stringham and Michael Trevillion for President. Along with the usual crazy posters and parades, there were several innovations. One of these was a rally held in the auditorium by Peter. On the day of the election speeches, Carol displayed great ingenuity by making up a new speech on the spot after she had lost the original. All candidates and their campaign managers spoke very ably. However, the next day, Michael and Carol triumphed to become Churchill ' s new Presi¬ dent and Vice-President. PAGE 64

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 .

CHURCHILL 66” To raise funds for the Centennial Project of 1967, our school presented a variety concert on March 9 and 10. Before the concert began, music was played on the organ and drums by two talented boys. Then an overture was played by the School Orchestra. The masters of ceremonies, Peter Trevillion and Peter Stringham introduced the acts as well as adding a little humour to the night. On Wednesday evening, the cheerleaders started the stage show off with a bang. Then the Junior Girls’ Choir sang two songs. A duet was presented by Karen Webb and Carla Norris. At this time on Thursday, a play, Memory of a Shadow” was put on by the Grade 8 ' s. On both evenings, accordionists Frank Cianflone and Henry Kuzia-entertained the audience. Keeping the viewers on the edge of their seats was the gymnastic group, the “Airborne Eleven who put on a fine display of physical skills. A folk song group then sang a lovely medley, which relaxed everyone. The enthusiastic Drama Club put on their first performance of an original pantomime and an excerpt from one of Shakespeare ' s plays. After an intermission, with organ and drums, the Senior Choir ' s lovely voices were joined with those of two of our male teachers in a varied performance of many popular songs from several well-known musicals. This successful variety concert was greatly enjoyed by all who participated and all who went to see it. PAGE 65
