The purpose of this auction was to raise money for the March of Dimes , a well- known campaign used to help fight polio. Each pupil in our class brought a parcel gift-wrapped. 14 These parcels were auctioned off by vol¬ unteers, Margaret Meneer and Diane Friesen, with the assistance of Miss Dickson, our class teacher. Our treasurer, Irene Joba assisted by Gail Drys- dale took in the money. Elizabeth Andresen and Gail Tompkins listed the articles contained in each parcel. The parcels contained such items as books, jewelry and even a single orange. Most of my classmates were pleased with the surprise purchases, and the sum of Eighteen Dollars and Sixty Cents was realized from this auction. The money thus raised was taken to C.J. O.B. for the Match of Dimes. We made a request for the song Open up Your Heart” to be played. ANITA RUDKO Room 28 Grade 7 SAVE OUR FORESTS During the month of January, Mr. Lund showed the student body three pictures about Forest Conservation. The first film was called ' Junior Raindtop , showing how the accumulati¬ on of raindrops form flash-floods, which cause great damage. The second film was Our Friend the Forest”. This showed the result of cutting down trees without replacing them. The third film Forests of the Future showed the interest of a young forest conservati¬ onist, in replenishing our forests, which man carelessly cuts down or destroys by fire. LOUISE GIARDINO, IRENE JEFFEREY Room 13 Grade 9 WHITE ELEPHANT SALE On February 11 at 4 o’clock, Room 20 held its White Elephant Sale.

A VISIT TO THE SUGAR BEET FACTORY The girls of Room 28 who won the Junior High Ticket Contest for our School Tea, were privileged to visit the Sugar Beet Factory. We were accompanied by Mr. Hensley. When we arrived at the factory, each per¬ son received a small bag containing sugar and a leaflet explaining the manufacturing process and giving other interesting information on the sugar industry in Manitoba. We were shown through the factory by a guide. The excursion was very in¬ teresting. May we take this opportunity to thank Mr. Hensley for explaining many things to us during our visit. ANNE PARR Room 28 Grade 7 CANDY SALE On January 20, 1955, the girls in Room 22 decided to have a candy sale. Long discussions followed in which we set the date and decided who should make the candy. After a busy five minutes of selling, the grand total of twenty dollars and fifty cents emerged from the wreckage. On February 1, Pat Wilding, Joan Cald¬ well and Janet Rowse took the money down to C.J.O.B. for the “March of Dimes Campaign. Well done Room 22! PAT WILDING, JOAN CALDWELL JANET ROWSE, Room 22 Grade 8 BOOKLETS FOR THE CHILDREN’S HOSPITAL This year the girls of Room 22 have been writing stories, or poems for young children or children of their own age. These selections were typed and put into booklet form with little pic¬ tures added. These booklets were sent to the Children’s Hospital to make the children’s days in the Hospi¬ tal seem shorter and happiet. ROVENA GOLDSCHMIDT LYNN HASSAN Room 22 Grade 8 SQUARE DANCING Swing your partner! That’s the call that has been heard in the auditorium df Earl Grey Junior High the last few months. The girls had been learning square dancing in their P.T. classes when Miss McVeigh mention¬ ed that she was going to have classes for the boys. Many boys took this opportunity. When all the boys and girls came there was such a big turnout that the class had to be divided. There Was a class for the gradeAVII’s and IX’s. Everybody thoroughly enjoyed themselves. BRENDA STEVENSON Room 20 Grade 8 AN UNFORTUNATE INJURY A very sad thing happened to a Room 19 student this term. Ken MacKenzie, a very popu¬ lar student, was severely injured while playing hockey. He suffered a dangerous brain injury and for weeks it was unknown whether he would live or not. After many relapses, he pulled through and is now back attending school. The class took up a collection and bought Ken some flowers and a Craftsmaster Pairit Set. RICKY KIDD Room 19 Grade 8 13
