REACH FOR THE TOP m tmiT | phu backmar | mi m mm | nm fattstt REACH FOR THE TOP The boys were rather disappointed with their showing this year. After meeting regularly since the fall, under the intensive tutoring of Mr. Polz and Mr. Derwin, the team made its television debut March 11, opposing a team from Miles Macdonnell Collegiate. They defeated that strong team, 280-205, and prepared for their second game. Hoping to sharpen their skills, the boys faced a formidable foursome of teachers, consisting of Mr. Mackenzie, Mr. Currie, Mr. Chappell and Miss Red¬ mond. In front of the student body, they crushed the teachers, outscoring them 780-680. Unfortunately this additional experience was not sufficient for them to win their next game, as they lost at the hands of Vincent Massey Collegiate. SCHOOL CURLING The 1967-68 intra-school curling competition proved to be one of the most competitive seasons in our curling history. The Consolation Event was won by Mr. J. C. LeNeveu ' s rink after defeating the team skipped by Bob Gates. The B Event was won by the Cartwright rink after edging out the Russell rink in a close game. The League Championship proved to be the most competitive phase of the season. The year ' s curling resulted in a sudden death playoff game between the Clasper rink and the Shiach rink. The game went into an extra end, but Clasper came through to win. In the annual student-teacher game the students were victorious by a score of 11-10.

CHESS CLUB This year the Chess Club has been more active than ever be¬ fore. Challenge matches were carried on among the members throughout the year. ZOLTAN BODNAR DAVID OLSEN PETER PEDERSON RICKY TOWN Four of these players, Dave Olsen, Rick Town, Peter Pederson and Zoltan Bodnar, represented Churchill at the annual Christmas Tournament sponsored by the Winnipeg Free Press. These persons gave a very good account of them¬ selves and should be serious contenders next year. In addition, another team consisting of Zoltan Bodnar, John Urkevich, Dave Yauniskis and Rick Town represented Churchill at a new Easter Tournament sponsored by St. Johns High School. U.N. REPRESENTATIVES The Model United Nations Assembly was held during the Easter holidays at Grant Park School. Bob Keeley and Brian Carter represented the United Arab Republic on an amendment pertaining to the Middle East War of June 1966. After much heated debate, a large part of the amendment was defeated. No definite decision was ever reached. The second day saw demonstrations for Red China. After many delays and protestations the demonstration was ejected from the General Assembly. The representative then commenced the debate on the business at hand. On the whole it was a very enjoyable and enlightening experience. UNESCO Churchill High is one of the 26 associated Unesco schools. This year ' s pro¬ ject was to raise money for the literacy program in Linstead, Jamaica. Karen Webb and Michelle Brown, with the help of Mr. Chappell organized the project. In order to make the student body fully aware of the project, Jamaica Day was held May 8. During the day, speakers went to various rooms to talk to the students on Jamaica. A rice and water banquet was held during study period. This was intended to demonstrate what the food was like for the poor people of Jamaica. A film was shown during the banquet. The money for the literacy program was raised in co-operation with the Miles for Millions March. The school is expected to raise about $5,000.00. PAGE 58

PEP WEEK During March 18-22, Churchill High cele¬ brated their annual Pep Week. Every morn¬ ing there was a parade put on by the hopeful King and Queen Candidates. Monday, the Varsity Girls basketball team played the Men Staff. In spite of the biased referreeing and the unfair tactics employed by Fearless Freddie and Charming Chappell , the girls won 11-9. Tuesday, the Senior High Cheerleaders challenged the Women Staff to Goofy Games. The Teachers won, but only be¬ cause of the battling of Killer Kemp and Eggie Eglin . Wednesday night a hootenanny took place, with the entertainment provided by various coffeehouse performers. The large crowd on hand enjoyed themselves im¬ mensely. Thursday the greatest event of all took place,- the Slave Auction. Many beauteous girls were auctioned off in exchange for old nylons, curlers, ties, etc. The brilliant auctioneering of Mr. Chappell aroused the crowd to such great heights that some rooms started to bid against themselves. Friday, the Laff-ln was presented by Mr. Derwin and his cohorts. The audience thoroughly enjoyed Mr. Cook ' s jumping flea and the other zany takeoffs. Friday night, at the last Senior High Dance of the year John Rigby and Leigh Willows were crowned King and Queen. Here cum de Judge! We really shouldn ' t be meeting like this! Everything but the kitchen sink. Should I do the socks too? PAGE 60
