E. H. S. GRAD GAZETTE 33 BADMINTON CLUB Supervisor - - - Mr. Clark President - Don Muir One of the most active clubs this year was the Badminton, which had a membership of approximately forty-five bird-hitting fans. Secretary-treasurer of the club was Isobel Fyfe. The schedule-makers were Pam Owen, Beryl Jones, Brian Dunsworth, Don Baker, Mary Lou Ossendoth and Katherine Elliot. 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. Persons who showed progress during the year were Bert Ebbers, Doug Clark, Yvonne Field and others. The members are proud possessors of a blue and gold crest. The club purchased more racquets and strung some of the old ones. Here’s hoping we can get winners in the city finals next year. I. S. C. F. 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.

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.

34 E. H. S. GRAD GAZETTE PING-PONG CLUB Supervisor - - - Mr. Sim President - - - Margaret Mortimer Starting off with a bang, Room 18 was crowded to capacity the first meeting, but many were disappointed because the club could only admit a limited number. Those who hurried ahead and brought their fees in were assured of finding a place in the club. Dave Ghormley, Barbara Newnham and Bob Jamha found a place for themselves as vice-president, secretary, and treasurer, respectively. Margaret Mortimer was elected unanimously as president. Schedule-makers were Kay Blair, Harry Myskew and Don Morrison. Several new ping-pong sets were purchased and some new bats, which were greatly appreciated by all. We hope that the club will go into full swing next year. HI-Y CLUB The Hi-Y motto is “To create, maintain and extend throughout the school and community high standards of Christian character.” With this in mind, the club re-organized in the fall of 1941 with Mr. McGuire as their sponsor. The officers are: President, Tommy Russell; secretary, Harry Myskew; Central Council representatives, Colin Gordon, Hugh Montgomery and Joe Cherniowski. The Hi-Y considers three areas of program—self-betterment, service projects and social programs. They have attempted to follow this closely. Discussions have been held in conjunction with other Hi-Y clubs and in their own meetings on a wide variety of topics. The Hi-Y in the city aided the Chamber of Commerce in the salvage drive. Numerous social functions well attended by Eastwood were held. The members have obtained their sweaters, which you can see them proudly displaying in the hall. Arrangements are now being completed for next year’s club. THE MUSIC PARADE —Continued from Page SO This program was highly praised by the city musical supervisor, Mr. Eagleson. Thanks go to Miss Harris for her grand work in organizing and conducting the musical show. As a small token of their appreciation, the music pupils presented Miss Harris with a large bouquet of spring flowers.
