ACTIVITIES COMAAITTEE The Activities Committee was a new organization this year. Its purpose was to get more school support and build spirit for all our school events. Under its direction two dances were held, one in the fall, the other in the spring. The latter one was the King and Queen dance which climaxed Pep Week. At that dance, which featured the “Unidentified Flying Objects , the King and Queen were crowned. John Rigby and Leigh Willows were voted King and Queen. The Activities Committee also planned Pep Week, which included the slave auction, a hootenanny, and various other activities, including Mr. Derwin s infamous “Laugh-In . However the members of the Committee were somewhat disappointed with the response of the student body in general, especially to the dances. Next year, why don ' t you help the Activities Committee to get on its feet by supporting all its efforts and by contributing a little to the school. PAGE 56

RED CROSS The Red Cross Youth has had a very prosperous year. We started by selling Pie and Coffee on Pioneer Day. Our next project was a Hootenany, and throughout the year we sold potato chips in the lunchroom. Once again, this year, we had a Blood Donor Clinic. The number of donors was less than last year but it was still considered a success. We contributed towards buying a Cradle Warmer for the Children ' s Hospital. Our last project was packing 25 Health Kits for the Red Cross. The list of officers for this year were: President, Marg Kavanagh Vice-President, Georgina Mintenko Secretary, Darlene Reid Coat Checking, Nancy Nelson Junior High Rep., Brian Hull PAGE 55

Science Club Mr. Derwin hurdles two chairs in an attempt to close the door, before the smoke detectors go off. Ian Clark and Randy Kendall madly try to fan the acrid fumes out the window, while Nick Kokil helps revive Rein¬ hardt. Is this a testing site for a munitions factory? No, only one of many science club meetings which pre- ceeded the science concert The concert was worth the trouble as Junior Highs were provided a brief respite from school. On Pioneer Day, the club dazzled the public with electrostatic machines and disections. During the year, there was a series of lectures on topics ranging from astronomy to LSD. Two avid members have been grinding telescope mirrors in the auditorium kitchen for six months. Passers-by have inquired about the two barrels used as grinding stands, and gone away with the explanation that sauerkraut is being cured for the grad banquet. After a successful year, the club looks forward to an even more promising one. Come on out, potential science clubbers. We might even let you test run the Hovercraft down the Red River. Drama Club The Drama Club, under the executive of Gloria Slezak as President, ex¬ perienced an extremely active year. The club partook in four one act plays: 1. “Penelopes Patience . 2. “Low Bridge. 3. Excerpt from “Henry V . 4. “Dumb Waiter . and received acclamation on the part of the judges of the Drama Festival for their excellent performances. Throughout the year the twenty-five members were surprise with informative visits from members of the Manitoba Theatre Centre. It is hoped that the par¬ ticipation in the Drama Club will in¬ crease with the coming year, and that the high standards set by this year ' s students will be upheld. PAGE 57
