Pep Club Beanies and pen¬ nants once again made their appearance in the Pep Club, this year headed by Dave Winters Elmwood students who showed their greatest ability composed the Pep Club. They cheered the teams on with bugles, cowbells and noise makers. The cheerleaders led the supporters with high hopes of victory. With our newly acquired green and white mega¬ phone our cheers rang out the loudest. Car¬ michael, our polar bear mascot, was initiated into the Pep Club at a rousing Pep rally. Carmichael was accompanied by folk-s ingers and a well-resembled effigy of a Dan Mac player. Our school spirit reigned supreme not only at Elmwood but at Grant Park where the home team could not be distinguished. The pennants, which unfortunately were a bit late, raised the Elmwood High spirit and kept it flying. Although the teams did not capture a championship, the Elmwood High spirit, through the Pep Club, made a brilliant showing. Perhaps next year, with the help of a bigger and better Pep Club, Elmwood will make a better showing in sports. Football Committee In the ' 6 3-’64 school year, our Football Committee was in the hands of Terry Hopkinson and his assistant Gord Crook. The members were enthusiastic about having a Football Team and had high hopes as to the sum they were to raise to fulfill them. The one big project undertaken by the committee this year was a Hootenanny and Dance”, which featured Manitoba’s talented Keystone Singers”, and the Clear Lake Choir. The Hootenanny in itself was a great success and a good time was had by everyone who went. The expenses of this effort to raise money for the team were high, but through asking for donations from Coca-Cola, a sum of $200 was realized as clear profit. After this, other school activities seemed to drown out” the Football Com¬ mittee and nothing more was heard, money-wise, from them. However, they did end the year with $200 more than they started with. In the future, with bigger and better Foot¬ ball Committees, and more and more sup¬ porters of this worthy cause, Elmwood will attain the Football Goal . As this reality emerges more each year, the students will undoubtedly give it the support it de¬ serves, and will be able to watch an Elm¬ wood Football Team in action. Yea, Mush!

Red Cross Committee The Red Cross under the able guidance of Mrs. Janus, had a prosperous year. There was a wonderful response for volunteers for the Saturday visits to the Nightingale Nursing Home, Elmwood High ' s main Red Cross project. To these faithful and dependable girls, the Red Cross sends its heartiest thanks. Thanks must also be expressed to the entire student body for its support of our many projects. At Christmas, presents were distributed to the people at the Home and were accompanied by students singing carols. Word was received that a needy family in the North of Manitoba had sent out a plee for clothes, and our Red Cross, within three days, had sent nice cartons of clothing to this family. Potato Chips were sold, with the profits of this project being divided between the Red Cross and the Yearbook. I wish to thank all the room representatives who made Elmwood ' s Red Cross a great success. - Barbara McMorland, President The Elmwood Electra” This, the second year of our newspaper, has seen it become a permanent feature of our school ' s activities. Depart¬ ing from the old method of having the paper printed in the school, as used in previous years by the staff of the Eagle, the Electra” is printed by Derksen Printers of Steinbach. The work done by the students included, not only the writing of the material, but also typing it to fit the columns and then taping these columns to the large sheets which were then sent to the printers. Needless to say, this involved quite a large amount of work on the part of the students. A note of appreciation must be given to the students and teachers for their efforts in helping to make the newspaper a success. It is hoped that, with only minor al¬ terations, the “Electra” will continue for many more years. I also sincerely wish that the student body will continue to be¬ lieve, and rightly so, that this newspaper is a fine example of school spirit and persist in their support of it.

Cheerleaders The girls attended the soccer games and the girls ' and boys’ volley¬ ball games. The highspot of the year was the basketball games. Here the girls boosted school spirit by doing old yells and introducing several new yells. This year a new green and white megaphone, helped the girls to ‘‘Yell a little louder.” Of course, everyone knows we finally got our school mascot. That famed white polar bear, Carmichael, with his big green bow was seen at every game. The cheerleaders this year were the best group Elmwood High has ever had. They were: Janice Pippus (1st row, left), Linda Ramm (1st row, right), Beverly Grey, Noreen Marshall, Barbara Gross, Karen Dobson, Linda Faykes, Joyce Oleksuik, and Dorothy Clark, all under the able leadership of Karen Dobson. The two pep rallies this year introduced our new yells and Carmichael. The best game was at Grant Park where our school spirit topped theirs with our cow-bells, noise-makers, and trumpets. With the help of Elmwood’s peppiest students, the Cheerleaders boosted Elmwood High School Spirit to the highest it has ever been. Congratulations girls! Inter-High Chess Team Robert Pawlik, Ian Thomson, Craig McLennan, Peter Lempke.
