TENNIS Since we have found little carry over value in the instructions which were given in the gymnasium for limited periods during the past few years, the main function of the tennis club has been to organize the inter- scholastic tennis teams which represent Hill - crest High School against the other schools of the district and the city. This year Bruce Rosove, Dave Medhurst, Bob Hobbs and Ricky Booth were selected for the boys team and Joy Anderson, Betty Grant, Hazel Williams and Abby .Hagyard represented the girls. Our girl ' s team which reached the city semi- finals defeated the girls from Laurentian on their way to the championship rounds. They lost out in a close 2 to 1 match to Glebe girls in the semi-finals. 1. to r. - Mr. Cunningham, D. Medhurst, B. Scovil, Front Row 1. to r. H.

THE UNITED NATIONS CLUB The founding and spectacular growth of Hillcrest ' s largest club (over 85 members) was due to our delegates to Lake Couchiching: Don Dickson, Paul Kyba, and Ken Warren. Hillcrest ' s most active club recruits its members among students who are up with the times , students who get out of their shell and become interested in the world they live in. The U.N. Club sponsored a drive for the collection and distribution of used books to underprivileged countries. This led to an in- vitation to Rideau Hall and the presentation of a citation to our U.N. Club by the Governor General. In the late fall S.N.C.C. organizer Miss Diane Burrows outlined the program and ac- tivities of the Freedom Workers in their strug- gle to free the negroes from racial oppression in the southern states. In early January, the U.N. Club sent 11 delegates to a mamoth U.N. Model Assembly in Toronto in which over 60 High Schools par- ticipated. At the award dinner Hiilcrest received an honourable mention. In March the Hiilcrest U.N. Club represented nearly half of the dele- gates at the University of Carleton ' s Model Assembly Session for Ottawa High Schools. Don Dickson was judged to be the best speaker. Lately the U.N. Club has organized a series of conferences dealing with Current Affairs. The first one was on Viet Nam and the American and Russian Ambassadors were in- vited to give their views on this explosive sit- uation. The U.N. Club was again in the forefront by its smart and practical display on Open House Day. In March elections were held to select the new executive for the 1965-1966 year. The following are the new executive: Don Dickson - president; Marjorie George, Carol Markham, Donnia Kyba and Ron Dickson - vice presidents; Raili Mikkanan - secretary treasurer. The aims and purposes of the U.N. Club are to bring an intelligent awareness of the re- sponsibilities of the individual in the world he will inherit. May we of the U.N. Club take this opportu- nity to wish all of you a good summer holiday and invite you all to our recruiting meeting in September. C. J. Courville staff advisor
