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.

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!

Band This year our band has been busier than ever, under the able guidance of Mr. Buss. The long awaited trip to Ft. Frances finally occurred November 2. V e played several selections in a concert in the Ft. Frances High School to a large audience. There the concert was a success, it was enjoyed by all, and on the whole the concert was well done. After a dance in the school auditorium, most of us took advantage of our absence from home and stayed out till three or four A. M. It was most enjoyable but the hours spent on the bus were the most fun of all. In November the band played in the Rememberance Day Service and Community Chest Parade. The big band concert of the year was held in David Thompson School on February 22. Together with the bands from Grades 7-9 and the D. T. choir we provided enjoyment for a large audience. Two weeks ago the band from Casselton, North Dakota, had a concert in the D. T. auditorium under the director¬ ship of Mr. Nelson. Our band had a Dance for them after the concert and both bands enjoyed themselves immensely. Last month, a couple from each instrumental section in the band formed a small ensemble to play at a Shopper’s supper in Hudson Bay. Another ensemble played at the Parliament Buildings on Citizenship Day. They received warm praise for their excellent performance there. Last Friday the band played at Oakbank, as in previous years, and both audience and performers had a good time. On May 16, the band played at Polo Park, and in June, in the Red River Exhibition Parade. Our final concert will be held May 16. Let’s hope that it is as much a success as all the other concerts that merited one. It’s all for a very deserving cause! — Erica Koanig
