QUIZ TEAM Elmwood High School ' s quiz team won the “Reach for the Top” program last Thursday night when they defeated Daniel McIntyre Collegiate in the final. It was Elmwood’s seventh appearance in the thirty-two week program series. The Elmwood team jumped into an early lead and before the program concluded they had in¬ creased their point spread over their opponents to 165. Elmwood finished with 430 points to Daniel Mac’s 265. Following the quiz portion of the program Scott Bateman, Deputy Minister of Education, presented Principal D. S. McIntyre with a trophy and a 1,000 dollar scholarship. The questions used on the show were composed by a panel of seventeen high school teachers who took into consideration the grade 12 curriculum, general knowledge and current affairs. The panel members were quizzed on such topics as classical music, art, the Bible and sports. Leila Innes, of 236 Poplar Avenue, was picked for art and music. Like the other panel members she says that their television appearances didn’t require much extra work, but it did familiarize them with subjects that were not part of their high school curriculum. George Durnin of 104 Harbison Avenue, was the scientific and current affairs expert. A grade 12 stu¬ dent, he is preparing for a career in scientific re¬ search. George has a dark room at home so he can do his own developing in his photographic hobby. He is also inerested in astronomy and plays the violin. Robert Pawlik of 111 Hart Avenue answered ques¬ tions on the Bible and geography. As a grade 11 student, Robert has been recommended in all of his subjects but will write for a scholarship. He plans to do some scientific research on his own this sum¬ mer. Alan Alvare, of 236 McIntosh Avenue, was the panel’s expert on history. This was a natural for Alan as he plans to work for a Ph.D. in history when he finishes high school. All of Elmwood High should be proud of these fine students. 62

MUM Irene Mousseau, Mr. F. Isaak, Jerry Lorenz. This year Irene Mousseau and Jerry Lorenz were fortunate enough to be chosen as representatives to the Model United Nations Assembly, which was sponsored by the Rotary Club of Winnipeg, and which was held at Grant Park High School on April 19 and 20. They represented the country of Cam¬ bodia. During the day, the time was filled with bloc meetings and Assembly meetings which at times were very hectic. Among the topics dealt with were refugees, trade and development, disarmament and the policies of Aparthied in South Africa. Not only were their minds broadened by the events discussed but they learned much about their fellow Canadians and American neighbours, who came there from Saskatchewan, other parts of Manitoba, Alberta, Ontario, Minnesota and the Dakotas. However, it was not all work and no play, for during the first evening they attended a dinner and dance at United College. The social events were climaxed with a formal banquet and dance on the second day at the Royal Alexandra Hotel which the Honourable Errick F. Willis, the Lieu¬ tenant-Governor of Manitoba, and His Excellency Michael Comay, Israeli Ambassador to United Nations, attended. After meeting many wonderful and friendly people, and learning much about the things which shape our world, Irene and Jerry came home with many memories. 61
