This year’s curling club was a great success for the ten teams from P. and Jefferson that battled it out every Thursday after four. In the hard ought Round Robin at the end of the season Ian Staniloff from Edmund Japtrjdge defeated Hoye of Jefferson for the Championship. After the egular schedule was finished the club held a teacher-student game. There vere two teams of teachers and two with students. The results were the udent rink skipped by David Nerman defeated Mr. Peeler’s rink while Mr. Hallas bet Sidney Nerman’s rink to even the match. It was an exciting ear for all members and for the club it was one of its best years. The Stamp Club was under the direction of Mr. Porteous. Meetings were held every Friday night in Room 5. At these meetings the twenty-four mem¬ bers exchanged stamps amongst themselves. As the year progressed the members began to bring their entire collections and put them on display for the rest of the club. The club was such a success this year that intentions are that it will be formed again next year. Best of luck. The Edmund Partridge Debating Club began its second successful year in October. Officers were elected; these being Barbara Kaplan, president; Terry Horbatiuk, vice-president; and Cathy Capar, secretary. The club was under the direction of Mr. Webster. The highlight of the year was a lecture by Mr. Huband a prominent Winnipeg lawyer. The topic of his lecture was the fundamentals of debating. Everyone who was a member of the club not only received an abundance of enjoyment but also a great deal of knowledge and experience. Good luck to the club next year. The Dance Club was under the capable direction of Mrs. Joyce and Mr. Webster. A group of about twenty energetic students met every Tuesday at noon. They danced to the old time music and also learned some modern steps. The club was forced to disband after Christmas but intentions are that it will be reorganized next year. In any case, all those who participated had a wonderful time. The Chess Club began its successful season early in October. Election of officers was held and Ken Bercuson became president. Eric Posen became vice-president and treasurer was John Lebedynsky. Mr. Penner acted as staff adviser. Inter-Club competitions were held on Mondays. At the beginning of the season a training session was held. The more experienced players taught the newer members “the ropes.” At the tournament, Ken Bercuson emerged as champion with John Lebedynsky, runner-up. Good luck for the next season!

Practices were held during auditorium period as well as at noon. The Glee Club was responsible for the great success of our Remembrance Day Services. Their breath-taking candle march made December’s Christmas Concert well-worth re¬ membering. As usual the Glee Club was entered in the Manitoba Music Festival. They proudly displayed our school’s talent in the Folk Singing Division and the Suburban School’s Choir.

CHRISTMAS CONCERT The Christmas spirit came to Edmund Partridge on Wednesday, December 11th, when the students presented their annual Christmas Concert. The auditorium was artistically decorated in a festive motif under the qualified supervision of Miss Busch. The audience was delightfully entertained by selections sung by the Glee Club under the direction of Mr. Redekopp and Miss Murray. The boys’ choir directed by the musically minded Mr. Arnould sang two lovely selections. The band conducted by Mr. White was at its best. The Chanukah candle-lighting service, conducted by Miss Wasserman was also part of the program. The music was provided by an organ and a high¬ light of the evening was the Procession of the Glee Club. SPRING TEA March was highlighted by the Edmund Partridge School Tea. The usual ticket selling campaign was dispensed with and invitations were sent, yet the tea was as great a success as ever. The school was festively decorated for the occasion. On the windows, some talented students painted blossoming apple trees. The auditorium was like a flower-filled garden. The students’ art work was displayed and it added greatly to the decor. The students of grade nine served, and the food was provided by us all. The Glee Club under Mr. Redekopp and the band under Mr. White furnished the entertainment. Despite the cold winter weather outside, the tea made us feel that spring had really arrived. CHOCOLATE BAR SALE This year’s chocolate bar sale began with a rousing Pep Rally on October 30th which was a great success. Many students participated in fun acts and the teachers put on their usual great performance which this year was the Ed Sullivan Show. When the rally was over everyone went back to their rooms and received their bars and raced out to sell them. The competition for the room that sold the most chocolate bars was won by Room 12’s great effort over Room 11 and Room 16 who trailed by just a few points. The top salesmen of the school were Ron Bailey of Room 11 and Glenn Libman of Room 12. Congratulations are extended to all the room winners and those who made the sales a great success as it was.
