DRAMA CLUB The Drama Club, called the The Gaylord Farquhar III Memorial Acting Troupe by its more prominant members, has taken part in many successful enterprises this year. At the Manitoba Theatre Centre annual School Drama Festival, its two plays Episode in the Life of an Author and Blue Murder” were received very well by the public. Both had been hastily rehearsed, coming at the tail-end of Brigadoon , but still amused the people who saw them. Shortly after the Festival, a Night of Improvisation was arranged. This took place at the school on April 16. The improvised acting alternated with musical interludes in which Glen Hamilton and Rick Anderson played two guitar duets, and Dorothy Macbride and Carolyn Hoople sang and played guitar solos. The free performance ranged from ridiculous satire to heavy drama . The Drama Club ' s final attempt was this school ' s Centennial Production in which various members played cavemen, Indians, settlers, and explorers. Some prominent members, such as Richard Ditchburn, director, lighting man and friend to all, will be leaving this year, but the Drama Club hopes to recover the loss and make next year ' s theatre just as successful as this year ' s.

VOX VICTORIAE The school newspaper under the direction of editor Debbie Peppier has had a successful year. Three issues were produced and distributed to all students from grades 7 to 12. One of the problems confronting Vox Victoriae is to publish an issue which is equally as newsworthy, interesting and attractive to Junior High students as it is to students of grades 10,11 and 12. This year a Junior High newspaper appeared for the first time under the direction of Mrs. J. Bosace and a staff of capable Jr. High writers. The members of Vox Victoriae hope this newspaper has helped to bridge the gap. For the first time. Vox Victoriae tried to go pictorial . Simply stated, an effort was made to feature articles based on school activities and accompanied by sufficient photos. The three issues were reasonably successful in achieving this end. Special mention must be made of those who gave generously of their time and effort including Mark Duncan and James Douglas (12-9) who provided much of the material and helped assemble the first edition. The typists from 11-58, Shirley Aldridge and Maureen Crowell deserve praise for their excellent work in setting up the type in the measured columns. A hearty note of thanks to Kevin Stuart for his fine photography. Since many of this year ' s staff from grades 10 and 11 will serve our next year ' s paper, we will look forward to another successful year for Vox Victoriae in 1970-71. PAGE 73

Derwin, Martin Wattis, Brian McAulay, Bob Sigurdson, Connie Parliament, David Bowness, Pat Parliament, Ruth Koehle, Valerie Paulishyn, Michael MacKinnon. RED CROSS YOUTH This year ' s Red Cross Youth had an active season. It was active at school functions, providing chips in the lunchroom at noon hours and also at the Junior High Cupid” Dance. Coat-checking was also provided by the Red Cross Club at most school functions. The Club provided refreshments for Brigadoon , the Unesco Conference and staff in-service meetings. Churchill ' s Red Cross Club was instrumental in the distribution of Christmas Hampers and was considered by the Red Cross Centre, one of the active clubs in this respect. A successful blood donor clinic was held by the Red Cross Youth Club in the school auditorium at which, for the first time, students seventeen and over were allowed to donate. Churchill High Red Cross participated in a provincial conference called Youth in Action Week by sending three delegates. The Conference, which was held during the Easter Holidays, was most enlightening and consisted of tours, cultural exchange of relevent problems and water safety. The Club ' s project for this year was a donation towards the purchase of a Hemoglobinometer for the Red Cross Centre. To all, from the executive, a pleasant summer.
