UNESCO Churchill High School ' s Affiliation with Unesco through the Associated Schools project continued to stengthen through the 1969-70 school year. Rick Town and Duncan Daniels returned from their five week trip to Jamaica as members of the YMCA work group. They were able to give direction to the Jamaica Club in their distribution of the $10,000 raised by Churchill High students two years ago to aid in the Literacy program in Jamaica. Donna Sanguin and Joanne Muirhead are going to Jamaica this summer to continue the work started by Rick and Duncan. Churchill High School hosted the annual Canadian Associated School Project meeting in late October. Teachers and students arrived from across Canada to begin four days of exciting, informative and funfilled activity. The conference was followed by the Pollution Probe meetings concerned with Man ' s Environment. PAGE 80

CHRISTMAS PAGEANT CHRISTMAS PAGEANT On the afternoon of December 19, a Christmas Assembly, base d on an original script written by Maureen Kendall, Barbara Bolan, Billie Johnston, Barbara Nicolson, Cathy Umiak, and Linda Gordon, was held in the auditorium. The theme was that of the history of Christmas in Manitoba from the times when the Indians roamed the prairies until now. The Junior High rooms choir sang carols appropriate for each scene with Vivian McGuire as soloist. Latin students from rooms 36 and 37 presented carols in Latin. The choirs were accompanied by the orchestra conducted by Miss E. Folson. Thanks to Mrs. J. Bosace for her help in making the Pageant a success. FILM CLUB The Film Club has now almost completed their first successful movie. Since January the club has been working, under the direction of Don Vicors of the Library Services Centre, on a semi-documentary of Union Station. Thanks also to staff advisors Mr. Metcalfe, and Mrs. Stuart. ROW 1: Terry Bell, Darryl Wiebe, Uwe Osterwald, Martin Wattis, Kevin Stewart, Mr. B. K. Metcalfe. PAGE 79

UNESCO CONFERENCE At this year ' s conference the theme was Human Rights and Man ' s Environment”. One of many events was a tour of Winnipeg which included such sites as the planetarium, the Metro Sewage Treatment Plant and the Canada Cement Plant. There were Panel presentations and group discussions on Pollution and Human Values in the City of Today. During these presentations delegates used simultaneous translation transistors so that there could be English-French communication. Reports were made by representatives from schools all over Canada on what their schools had done throughout the year for Unesco and on what projects are planned for the coming year. This was very informative and efforts will be made to acquaint Churchill students with the activities of other Associated Schools were made. Suggestions for the future included a request by Mr. Stewart, Secretary of the Associated Schools project, that regional conferences be held by as many of the Associated Schools as possible within the next year. Premier Shreyer spoke to delegates and guests about the conference topics at a banquet at the Marlborough Hotel. A suming up of events was presented by two Unesco officials, Mr. Bartlett and Mr. Hobles. All enjoyed the closing meal in the Winnipeg City Hall. So many people were involved in the conference that it is impossible to thank all individually but thanks must go to Mr. Chappell; who was responsible for bringing the conference to Churchill. PAGE 81
