ROMEO, FAIR ROMEO On one frosty morning in the middle of our fair-foul season, November, that is, these famous words echoed through the halls of Elmwood High. As one might have already guessed, it was a visit from the merry players of The Manitoba Theatre Centre. As always, they provided the students and the teachers with an amusing rendition of how theatre must have been in the days when Shakespeare wrote his immortal plays. We wish to thank the Manitoba Theatre Centre and the actors and assure them that their time was not wasted.

GIRLS ' CHOIR ELMWOOD HIGH SCHOOL CHOIRS The school year 1964-65 has proven quite eventful for Elmwood ' s choir under their new director, Mr. Keith Tinsley. The beginning of the year was started with a girls ' choir rehearsing for the Gradua¬ tion Exercises which were held in the school auditorium in October. From here they proceeded to rehearsals for our Remembrance Day Services during which selections heard were Let Us Now Praise Famous Men and O God, Our Help In Ages Past . With the approach of the Yuletide Season they were honoured with request from the Winnipeg Hydro to take part in a Carol Program which was broadcast over Radio Station C. K. R. C. By this time Mr. Tinsley had acquired a boys ' choir who joined the Girls in singing numerous carols. In spring, a young man ' s fancy turns to love and their ' s to The Swallows . Yes, with the coming of the Music Festival their voices were once more heard in a charming ditty , The Farmer and the Milkmaid , and She ' s Like a Swallow , a Newfoundland folk-song. They were victorious in their class and placed first with marks of 88 and 86 for a total of 174. Our mixed choir competed in the same competition along with our boys ' choir. In the J. S. Little, Trophy competition, which followed on March 25 as a final competition, the girls did not place first, however during the entire festival the three choirs received wonderful adjudication.

THE UNITED NATIONS CLUB January marked the launching of the United Nations Club in its first season at Elmwood High. Our first meetings were devoted to the election of the executive and to the establishment of the club on a permanent basis. In February we became a chartered club with the United Nations Association in Canada. At later meetings, the United Nations Financial Crisis, the situation in South Viet Nam, and other topics before the United Nations in New York were discussed. Two members of the U. N. Club, Bob Fostakowsky and Alice Gaertner, were chosen to represent the United States at the Model United Nations Assembly held at Grant Park in the Easter holidays. Special thanks go to Mr. September, our staff advisor, for the guidance which he has given us.
