' THE LITTLEST ANGEL The Churchill High Christmas Pageant, this year, had several interesting innovations. The Junior High Choir, under the direction of Mr. Klassen, sang several unusual carols, plus many of the old favorites. The newly-formed Choral Speaking Group, led by Mr. Chappell, gave the narration for the panto¬ mime — “The Littlest Angel.” This was a surprising, but very pleasing, addition to the Pageant. This year, a representation of how different peoples celebrate their Christ¬ mas was offered. The Germans and the Canadian Indians were two of the ethnic groups whose way of celebrating Christmas was presented. Everyone who had come to see the students perform had an enjoyable evening. The entire pageant was a compliment to the Junior High students and staff members involved. FRENCH VERSE SPEAKING CONTEST This year’s competition was held at Gordon Bel! School on March 29.

GRAD 67 Crescent-Fort Rouge Church was the setting for the graduation service. Valedictorian, Dave Hill, delivered an inspiring address to the graduates and the guest speaker, Mr. Hedlin, confronted them with their future challenges. Many deserving students were presented with scholarships and merit awards for their hard work throughout the year. Through the fine work of Grad convenors Pat Daniels and Fred Riggall and their many assistants, an appetizing banquet and enjoyable evening was programmed. The lunchroom was transformed into the fairy-tale land of Cinderella, complete with the pumpkin coach, grandfather clock, chandeliers, moat and draw bridge. The beautifully gowned girls and their escorts en¬ joyed the novelty of partner-trading with the aid of dance cards and enjoyed a mixed-up version of the story of “Dindercella as told by the evening ' s host and M.C. Don Johnston. The teachers performed a hilarious take-off on Cinderella which summed up the enjoyable evening and put a finishing touch to the Grad’ 67. PAGE 64
