ACTA NOSTRA I I fdilvridls SCHOLARSHIPS YVhat is a scholarship? .X scholarship is a sum of money awarded lor a certain subject or group ol subjects to the stu- dent obtaining the highest marks in that subject or subjects. This student must be furthering his education at some institution of higher learning. Besides scholarships, there are sums 'ol money called bursaries , awarded to nieritori, ous students who lack enough money for further education. Every year at G.K1.Y.I. approximately ten to eleven thousand dollars are awarded to pupils to enable them to gain advanced education in all helds. Every student has a chance to use his talents to the best advantage. Are you so sure that your talents are not equal to the test that you let others walk away with the money? For those who can spell there is the lNIargaret Pigott Spelling award. Are you an artist? Then awaiting you is the Helen Clarscadden ,Xrt Scholar- ship. If planning to return to Ifligh School after a lew years and leach, then why not try to win the Kiwanis Scholarship for Iuture High School Teachers? Never before has so much money been given to help needy people lurther their education. The I.U.D.E. iNational. Pro- vincial and localj assists many students through the numerous scholarships and bursaries they donate. Are you a participant in extracurricu- lar activities, possessing the qualities ol a lady or gentleman and having aca- demic elficiency? ll so, the Durrant Cane or Laird Ring lies at your feet. But remember, Scholarship winners are not made overnight. They are built up in Grades IX, X, XI. and XII. lor without a good foundation Grade XIII work cannot be efficiently handled. From all the scholarships mentioned, surely you, with a little more ellort. could lind one to suit your talents. -lifurol .June Wood XID An education is essential. In order to obtain a thorough one we need not only textbooks and teachers. but also the de- sire and ambition to learn. XVe teen- agers attending high school are a link in our country's progress and as our places are lilled behind those desks in each classroom. we shall be perlorming our part in bringing about the development ol a better world. Everyone has a position to lill whether it be great or small. Since we are fortun- ate enough to have the opportunity to attend collegiate we shouldn't waste yals uable time. Although it requires a good deal ol work to keep up a good average, there is no reason why we still can't enjoy lile when we're young. Considering the fact that there are probably great numbers ol' children of our age, who are unable to attend any school, we should work that much hard- er in order to pave the way for coming generations so that they may have the chance ol an education. lust remember, although teachers are soinetiuies very strict. they are thinking ol our liuture and are helping us to help ourselves. -Domm McGee XID. WORKING FOR CAN,-XDA Everyday as we go lrom class to class throughout C.C1.Y.I. we are preparing the mix that will help pave the road ol Clanada's luture. lI'e are the ones whose knowledge and abilities will be the basic ingredients.

Let us all achieve our utmost in preparing our work for Canada! illiyllyllg HIIIIIIHII XI,-I

Gloria Symes, Sandra Thompson, David Tucker, Peter Van Kooy, Lois Waldon, Eve- lyn Wheeler, Karen Young. We were very fortunate in having four boys on the Junior Football Team, namely: Reg Darnell, Greg Hannon, Dave McPhee and Larry Cohen who was also on the Junior Basketball Team. Helping to keep our school spirit keen was our cheerleader. Fran Robertson. We were also very fortunate in having an excellent Students' Council this year with our capable representative, Elaine Cowley. Gloria Symes was our popular president of the Poster Club. XC's OLYMPICS Excitement is filling the air in the old gym as XC's olympics are now starting. The first event is really exciting! It's a boxing match between those renowned fighters, Two Ton Norm Fisher and Battlin ' John Steele. The blows are fall- ing fast and fierce, but wait!! Two Ton is down on the canvas! Seven. eight, nine, ten-he's out! The roaring of the crowd is interrupted by the panting of Brian Black, Dave Tucker, Garth Jones, and Greg Han- non. who are in a desperate race around the outer track of the gym. The eight minute mile is at stake and it's a fight to the finish. Undisturbed by all the confusion, Jean McNally and Don Stoltz are battling away at the chess board. The round of events has started again ACTA NOSTRA I65 with Elaine Cowley, Sharon Reid, and San- dra Thompson, over in the hopscotch court. The girls have been practising all week and it's developed into a real contest. On the quieter side. Bill Muysson, Evelyn Wheeler, and Carl Crewson are all concentrating on their exciting game of French scrabble, with Miss Garland as referee. Glancing over the gym, my attention is suddenly taken by the clashing of steel and the shouts of the crowd. There, in the middle of the floor, Count Van Kooy is in a fencing duel with Duke Bright. Oh! the duel is over! Duke has just gathered up his heels and run for the hills. The track around the gym is now taken up by the 5,000 metre hurdles with Helen Hodgson, Marion Mochrie, and Karen Young all competing. Whizzing over our heads, Don Bard and are putting on an aerial Grand Marquess is at- Bryan Marquess exhibition. Le tempting to do a triple into the hands of Don. There he goes, but Bard isn't ready!! He's falling, right into the crowd! Thank goodness, Marie Rohrbach is there to catch him! The news has just arrived that the new lightweight women's wrestling crown has just been captured by Mary Chester, who scored a victory over her close competitor, Mary Smith, Mr. Burnett, who was referee, tells me it was the thriller of the century, and Mary's picture will appear on the cover of Sports Illustrated!!
