32 E. H. S. GRAD GAZETTE THE BOWLING CLUB President - - - Ken Sutherland Supervisor - - - Mr. Leaver The Bowling Club is now just a happy memory to its many members. It was one of the most successful clubs this year. Every Thursday afternoon at four o’clock, a mob of students rushed down the street, into the street car, and before you could realize what was happening, were pouring into the Recreation bowling alleys downtown. The club wishes to thank Mr. Leaver for his kind sponsorship of the club, and the members also wish to thank the “Rec” for their kind reduc¬ tion of the rates. ORCHESTRA Director - - - Miss Harris Our symphony orchestra has made great strides this past year, under the patient direction of Miss Harris. Every Wednesday, this industrious group has given a more or less melodious noonhour to the lower hall, as they ran through some of their favorite pieces, such as The Cossack, Old Dan Tucker, Deep in the Heart of Texas. Our budding musicians include: First Violins—Lorraine Quigley, Gordon Michie, Elwyn Freeman, Garth Freeman, Leo Kaufenburg. 2nd Volins—Luise Weiss, Phyllis Podolanchuk, Jean Cunningham, Norman Young. Piano—Betty Youmans. ’Cello—Mary Fairhead. Clarinets—Wes Passmore and Norman Wilton. Trumpets—Lonnie Heslep and Ernie Jamieson. Drums—Jim Grant. Their part in the Musical Parade, held on April 24th, was found most entertaining to the audience. PHI KAPPA President - - - Don Fallis Supervisor - - - Mr. McCoy Under the able direction of Mr. McCoy, the photography club of E. H. S. is now finishing a most successful year. The most capable execu¬ tive consists of Don Fallis, Doug Baines, Betty Glauser and Archie Bres- sey. The fifteen members of the club spend their time learning (or try¬ ing!) to develop and print pictures. During the year, the club visited McCutcheon’s studio. The Phi Kappa wishes to thank Mr. McCoy for the time and effort he has spent with the club.

E. H. S. GRAD GAZETTE 31 THE KEY GROUP Supervisor - - - Colin Gordon President - - - Miss Gimby The Key Group of the Dramatics Club consists of students who have earned their membership by giving a specified amount of time and effort to the club productions during their high school years. With Miss Gimby as supervisor, the group has done much to further study of the drama at Eastwood. Although a year play was not produced, three theatre parties were held, one to “Ladies in Retirement,” a Little Theatre production, another to “Henry Aldrich,” presented by Vic High School, and the third to “Grumpy,” the ’Scona year play. In addition, some help was given in the recent Eastwood play, “The Royal Touch,” which was later presented at Westglen. The executive consists of Colin Gordon, Mary Gish, Gus Mouner and Hugh Montgomery. The club and the school wish to thank Miss Gimby for her untiring efforts to promote dramatics in Eastwood.

A badminton tournament was held and is still unfinished. (We hope it will be finished before our long-awaited vacation.) Runners-up in the city finals were Don Sutherland, Doug Leitch, Bob Mitchell, Lome Dyer and Don Muir. Honorable mention goes to Cecil Cramer, Bob Mitchell, Mickey Wakal, who showed outstanding ability during the year.

Supervisor - - - Mr. McCoy President - - - Lola Patterson Again the Inter-School Christian Fellowship has had another suc¬ cessful year under the guidance of its executive—Lola Patterson as presi¬ dent, Mary Gish as vice-president, and Edna Thompson as secretary. Mr. McCoy acted as sponsor for the high school group, and Mr. Mix for the intermediates, who have been attending the meetings since January. The group has had several interesting speakers, including Rev. Elroy Thompson, Rev. MacBeath Millar, Rev. Mr. Patterson, Mr. Fykes, Rev. Daniel Young, and the provincial secretary for the club, Mr. George Duggart. Discussions of the Christian way of life were met with much enthus¬ iasm. Several socials have been enjoyed by the group along with other school groups. In February the climax of their activities was a rally held at McDougall United Church with the Dominion secretary, Melvin Donald, as guest speaker. All city groups will join in a giant hike on May 25th. A provincial camp at Gull Lake will begin on July 4th for ten days. The club wishes to thank Mr. McCoy and Mr. Mix for their able guidance of its work.
