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.

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.
