Model United Nations Assembly This year’s representatives to the Model United Nations Assembly were Ian Thomson and Richard Luddick. They represented the central African country of Rwanda. To both members of the delegation this was an enriching experience. They learned a great deal about the important issues of our time, through the research which they did beforehand. They learned that every nation, no matter how small, has equal rights in the United Nations, and axiomatically equal voice in the affairs of man. The assembly lasted for two days, a Friday and Saturday in mid-Easter holidays. The time was divided into four half-days during each of which one of four important issues was discussed. This year the agenda items were vital and important questions. They were: 1. Nuclear Test Ban Treaty 2. Admission of Red China to the U. N. 3. International Co-operation Year 4. Southern Rhodesia Question. The research which was done on these bills enabled several delegations to deliver prepared speeches, which they felt were representative of their country’s point of view. These speeches were delivered in the General Assembly after the reading of the bill. This completed the first step in the consideration of the agenda item. Then the assembly broke down into smaller bloc meetings where debate on the item was continued, more speeches made and any amendments considered. Then the bloc meetings were adjourned and the General Assembly recovered. At this time, any amendments were prepared, debated and voted upon. Then the amended bill was read for the final time to the assembly and voted upon. This same procedure was followed for each of the four agenda items. Discussion, and debate however, were not the only occupations that the delegates indulged in. They were treated to banquets and subsequent dances at both United College and the Fort Garry Hotel. The food and music was excellent, and many new acquaintances were made among students from Ontario, Sask., Alta, and northern United States. During the conference, addresses were received from such dignitaries as Dr. Ralph Bunche, Under-Secretary of the U. N. and the Rt. Hon. Eric Willis, Lieutenant Governor of Manitoba. This w as a wonderful experience. The students profited by experience in discussion and debate as well as meeting new friends, and receiving sound advice from sage speakers. We of the delegation would like to express our appreciation to the Rotary Club and to Mr. Toews, our counsellor, for his untiring aid before and during the assembly. — Ian Thomson - Richard Ludd ick

Quiz Team Congratulations are in order for Elmwood High’s Quiz Team for winning the grand championship on the program “Reach for the Top.” They are the victors in a contest which involved over 100 high schools throughout Manitoba and justly deserve all the honour which Elmwood High can give them. This year’s team made up of Richard Luddick, Noreen Marshall, Ian Thomson and Thompson Owens were probably the hardest working team in the series. Many hours were spent by all four reading and studying, books, pictures, pamphlets, maps, and encyclopedias to try and gain all the knowledge they could for the program. Since the team was organized they held regular meetings “after four to go over the topics they had studied. Usually these meetings lasted until 5:00 or 5:30. Their school work did not suffer a great deal for some of the questions used on the program are based on the course taken in grades 11 and 12. The hard work did not stop at school however and was continued at home. This routine was kept up for over seven months from the time the series began until it ended. This year the program included several new schools from as far north as Flin Flon and outlying districts such as Hapnot. The series was divided into four Flights and the four Flightwinners played off for the grand championship. Elmwood was entered in the second flight and defeated Garden City by a score of 330 to 185 to win their flight. During their earlier games they went over the top and scored 405 points against Gordon Bell High School and each team member received a gold card in recognition of the feat. When the teams came to play the final round. Church i 11 was the Flight 1 winner; E Imwood, Flight 2; Transcona, Flight 3; and Dakota, Flight 4. Each team was to play two games, the most number of points for the two games were to play in a sudden final game. Elmwood played Churchill in the first game and won 440 to 110. Before that game was played the CBC had formed a new set of rules which stated that on the scramble quest ion only the person that buzzed could answer the question and they would not accept an answer from any other member of that team. The other teams and viewers complained when Churchill had been defeated that Elmwood had not complied with the rules and had been whispering the answers to one another. The CBC under this pressure decided that the game would have to be replayed. This brought a burst of comp la ints from Elmwood fans but the CBC stated that if they did not replay the game, Elmwood would have to drop out. Elmwood members voted unanimously on their playing the game again because they didn’t want all their efforts thus far to be wasted. They beat Church i 11 by a large mar¬ gin. The other games were won with large margins and Elmwood members prepared for the final championship game. The last game was exceedingly close for a great part of the program, but fortunately Elmwood gained a lead and held it. The final score in the final game was Elmwood 230, Transcona, 150.
