) PRESENTING . . . MANITOBA 1870 — 1950 KELVIN HIGH SCHOOL. WINNIPEG, MANITOBA Does the road wind uphill all the way? Yes, to the very end. Will the day’s journey take the whole long day? From morn to night, my friend. —Christina Rossetti. 2 The Kelvin Year Book 1950 AN ANNUAL REVIEW OF ACTIVITIES AND ACHIEVEMENTS 3 KELVIN HIGH SCHOOL WINNIPEG MANITOBA COURAGE — TRUTH — RIGHT FOREWORD E. F. WILLOUGHBY Principal. IT IS a real pleasure for me to introduce this issue of the Kelvin Year Book, commemorating Manitoba ' s eightieth anniversary as a Province ot Confederation (1870-1950), and to dedicate it to those pioneers whose faith, industry, and perseverance laid the solid foundation upon which the develop¬ ment of this Province has been built. Within these pages is recorded the history of the school year, and the many and varied activities described emphasize the changes that have taken place in the functions of the high school since pioneer times. That the simple educational program of the early days was adequate for the needs of that time is evident when we consider the fine leadership which has always been given to the building of this great Province; but as the pattern of life underwent change, so had the school program to keep pace. While holding fast to the best traditions of the past, the modern high school must serve many needs which have arisen during the past eighty years. The present enriched and varied program is designed to meet the responsibility of supplying a training to fit the needs of contemporary life, so that present and future generations may make their full contribution to the building, not only of this Province, but of our country and the world beyond our borders. At this time, too, I extend congratulations and good wishes to the gradu¬ ating class of 1950 who, I am sure, will worthily maintain the traditions established by the graduates of other years. 4 Ohe JJeart Of Obe C ontinent SCHOOL ESTABLISHED 1912 FACULTY 42 STUDENTS 830 COURSES: GENERAL COMMERCIAL INDUSTRIAL -- CONTENTS , ADMINISTRATION - - - 9 THE SCHOOL - - - - 21 THE GRADUATES - - - - 29 THE UNDERCLASSMEN - 43 ACTIVITIES ----- - 57 ATHLETICS ----- 71 FEATURES ------ - 85 VOLUME 30 JUNE 1950 5 KELVIN SALUTES MANITOBA . . . 1870-1950 THE HEART OF THE PROVINCE, THE LEGISLATIVE BUILDINGS, WINNIPEG ’pHIS year Kelvin offers congratulations to the Province of Manitoba on its eightieth official anniversary and is pleased to present a few highlights from the last three centuries of its history and development. On May 12, 1870, the Manitoba Act constituting the new province was passed by the Canadian Parliament. Then, on July 15 of the same year, Manitoba with its 25,000 in¬ habitants was admitted to Confederation. Today, over 775,000 people of many lands and languages live in the province in liberty of conscience and freedom under the iaw. Here all are able to write their own page of personal achievement as pioneers, as home-makers, and as leaders in the arts, science, and industry. 6 MANITOBA COAT-OF-ARMS, ARCH OF PEACE TOWER, OTTAWA HIS coat-of-arms of Manitoba is carved in stone near the apex of the arch of the Peace Tower, Ottawa. The picture was specially taken for the “Kelvin Year Book through the courtesy of the National Film Board and is here reproduced for the first time. The rugged beauty of the crest with its buffalo and the cross of St. George is enhanced by the symbolism of its setting, the oak and maple leaves, the pine cone, the prairie crocus, and the Indian corn. The sun playing over the whole with its light and shade brings all into relief and gives the feeling of depth and a sense of solid strength. ADMINISTRATION-FACULTY jy ANITOBA first came into world history during the adventurous days of the early 17th century through a desire to find a short sea route to the riches of the Orient and through a strong European demand for more beaver fur to make men ' s hats. The first white visitor off the coast of the great northern bay which still bears his name was Henry Hudson in 1611 sailing the Discovery in search of a North West Passage. His fate is unknown. Accord ing to the records, the first white man to set foot on Manitoba soil was Sir Thomas Button in 1612. He took possession of the country for the King of England. This northern part of Manitoba has been British territory ever since, and has been under one flag longer than any other extensive part of British North America. EVER-CHANGING PERMANENCE MANITOBA ' S COASTLINE, HUDSON BAY PROVINCIAL ADMINISTRATION THE HONOURABLE C. RHODES SMITH, K.C. Minister of Education GREETINGS . . . JT IS with a deep sense of obligation and of gratitude that I welcome this opportunity of greeting, on behalf of the Department of Education, the staff and students of Kelvin High School. There have been many events of late that have brought vividly to our minds the chang¬ ing pattern of life in this Province of ours. Manitoba ' s Eightieth Birthday this year recalls the modes of life of a bygone era. It recalls too something of the vigour and the courage, the fortitude and the faith of those men and women who in such a short space of time have developed the social, political, and economic institutions of this great Keystone Province. In January 1912, your school—or may I say our school, for I am proud to recall that I was a member of the first class to graduate at Kelvin — began to play its part in the affairs not only of the City of Winnipeg and the Province of Manitoba but also in the wider spheres of our national life — your great Honour Rolls alone bear ample witness to that. But not alone in the dramatic events recorded in the annals of world history have the graduates of this school maintained the traditions of an earlier day. You may find in the peaceful walks of life, within our Province and beyond its bounds, men and women, trained in your classrooms, who now, quietly and without ostentation, yet non-the-less stead¬ fastly and worthily, are playing their parts in the changing scene. They too are helping to weave the new pattern — but the threads they are using are drawn from that cultural tradition of which you are the heirs today. As you in turn set forth to play your part in the fashioning of your world, you may be sure that you have with you the best wishes of us all. 10 DR. J. C. PINCOCK FOR the past fifteen years, Dr. J. C. Pincock has been superintendent of schools for Win¬ nipeg, a position which he has filled with distinction. A native of Newfoundland and a graduate of Mount Allison University, where he obtained his B.A. and M.A. degrees, Dr. Pincock came to Winnipeg as a mathematics instructor in Central Collegiate. In 1935, he became superintendent of schools and in the same year he was granted an honorary doc¬ torate of letters by Mount Allison University. We of Kelvin take this opportunity to pay tribute to Dr. Pincock and to wish him many happy years in his retirement. DR. HERBERT MclNTOSH MR. E. H. MORGAN Dr. Herbert McIntosh, assistant superin¬ tendent of schools, is a graduate of Queen ' s University in Science. After he obtained his M.A. degree, Dr. McIntosh became principal of the provincial Normal School. Last year he was awarded the degree of Doctor of Laws by the University of Manitoba. This summer Dr. McIntosh succeeds Dr. Pincock as super¬ intendent. Kelvin wishes him success. Mr. E. H. Morgan, B.A., M.A., a member of Kelvin ' s second graduating class, and a former high school principal, was named as¬ sistant superintendent of schools in 1947.

HODGSON ■ ■ITH THE DEATH of Mr. R. T. Hodgson lost March, our school lost the man who was largely responsible for the Kelvin of today. Born in Guelph, Ontario, Mr. Hodgson came to Manitoba in 1900, and, after a few years of teaching in Brandon, he came to Winnipeg in 1909 to become science master at Central Collegiate. He served as principal of that school from 1912 until 1914 when he became principal of Kelvin, which position he held until his retirement in 1932. Mr. Hodgson was a kindly, mild-mannered principal who won the respect of his staff and student body by his fair-dealing in administrative affairs. During his years as head of Kelvin, most of the great traditions of this school were established. He will always be remembered by the thousands of students who passed through Kelvin under his guidance. COURSES AND CLASSES THE Department of Education is in the process of revising the courses of study for senior high schools. The next academic year, 1950-51, will see the whole new set-up in operation. All told, five courses have been planned for the province. They include a Gen¬ eral Course and four special courses, the Commercial, the Industrial, the Home Eco¬ nomics, and the Agricultural. Various senior high schools offer these courses according to the local demand. COURSES AT KELVIN This year Kelvin is giving instruction in three: the General, the Commercial, and the Industrial Courses. A High School Leaving Course is also available. THE GENERAL COURSE The General Course, which leads to Senior Matriculation to second year university, or to Normal School entrance, will generally be covered in four years. Provision is made, how¬ ever, for acceleration which will permit se¬ lected students, on the recommendation of the inspector at the end of the first year (Grade X), to cover the full course in three years. Students desiring a Junior Matriculation standing, leading to first year university, will normally take three years. Again, certain students selected for their academic ability may cover the work in two years. For each year of fhe General Course there is a core of required subjects together with options to be selected from a prescribed list. If a student plans to continue his education beyond high school, the requirements for ad¬ mission into various university courses should be carefully considered. A modified course leading to a High School Leaving Certificate is available for those who take fewer than the required number of sub¬ jects and for those who take the full number but do not meet the standards accepted for departmental certification. THE SPECIAL COURSES The special courses, Commercial and In¬ dustrial, will normally be covered in three years. For each year of these courses, fifty per cent of the student ' s time is devoted to classwork on a core of general academic sub¬ jects. The other fifty per cent is devoted to work in the technical fields. GRADUATES For 1949-50 only, which is a transitional year, Kelvin has few graduates. The Senior Graduates are those finishing the old three- year Senior Matriculation Course. The Junior Graduates are the new General Course accel¬ erated students who have secured a Junior Matriculation standing in two years. 12 SCHOOL ADMINISTRATION E. F. WILLOUGHBY, B.A., D.Paed. Principal. DR. WILLOUGHBY returned to Kelvin as Principal in 1946. From 1914 to 1938 he had been a Science instructor at Kelvin and has taught many of the parents of the stu¬ dents now in the school. During the interven¬ ing years Dr. Willoughby was Principal of a junior high school in the city. He is a gradu¬ ate of McMaster University and has his doc¬ torate in Pedagogy from Toronto. Widely recognized as a man of experience and broad interests, he was chosen in 1947 as a Cana¬ dian delegate to the UNESCO Conference in Paris. Dr. Willoughby is a great supporter of all student activities. Under his guidance the School Council has grown steadily. KELVIN welcomed Mr. Fyles as its new Vice-Principal last September. He is a grad¬ uate of St. John ' s College in Arts and of the University of Manitoba in Education. He has also studied Philosophy at Edinburgh. Mr. Fyles has taught English, history, French, and Latin in other Winnipeg senior high schools. Now he is having an opportunity to show his financial and organizing ability in a position where his tact, kindliness, and careful atten¬ tion to details are invaluable. Mr. Fyles ' in¬ terest in Kelvin affairs extends all the way from school parties to track meets and soccer games. Every one, staff and students alike, wishes him well in his new position. 13 W. A.

We hope that she is enjoying herself on her year ' s leave-of-absence. Miss Eleanor Suttie who came from Lord Roberts to take the place of Miss Duncan has done an exceptionally fine job. Her eager enthusiasm and interest have done much to further girls ' sports in the school. After a two-year sojourn from Kelvin, the return of Dr. Robinson, who received a Ph.D. degree at the University of Minnesota, is of particular interest to older Kelvin students. Greetings are sent to Miss Johnson of the home economics department, who, we may be sure, is enjoying herself on a year ' s vaca¬ tion. Miss Johnson has spent the winter in Florida, and we shall be disappointed if she does not return home sporting a dark tan. The vacancy left by Miss Ross who is also on leave for a year has been ably filled by Miss Martin who has come to us from the West Kildonan Collegiate. Miss Martin, is rapidly becoming very popular among Kelvin students. A newcomer to Kelvin is Miss Forsyth who came from King Edward School. Miss Forsyth is in the home economics department where she is teaching the intricacies of sewing to all her future seamstresses. Gordon Bell ' s loss was Kelvin ' s gain when Mr. Fyles came to take the place of Mr. Max¬ well, our former Vice-Principal who retired last year. Mr. Fyles ' pleasant personality and his keen interest in athletics have won for him a secure place in the hearts of all Kel- vinites. We are sorry to have lost the guidance and friendship of Mr. Wellwood who has left Kel¬ vin to take the principalship of Queenston School. To Mr. Wellwood go our best wishes for happiness and success in his new position. Students of Robert H. Smith will remember Mr. Vasey who is now teaching history and geography here. We hope that he will enjoy life at Kelvin, and to him, we extend our warmest welcome. Congratulations are extended to Miss Samuel who has been promoted to the posi¬ tion of Vice-Principal of Machray School. Best wishes for the future, Miss Samuel! Miss Gwynne came to Kelvin this year as secretary to Dr. Willoughby and Mr. Fyles. She was at Isaac Brock last year and replaces Miss Baldwin who returned to Lord Roberts. We hope that Miss Gwynne is enjoying her work at Kelvin. 19 PROGRESSIVE STABILITY LOWER FORT GARRY, HUDSON ' S BAY COMPANY THE SCHOOL M AN ITOBA ' S story is founded on an empire of fur. An adventurous Frenchman, Groseilliers, in his search for the main source of beaver pelts, secured the support of Charles II, and in 1668 Mr. Gooseberry, as he was called by the British, sailed the Nonsuch into Hudson Bay. His success led to the establishment in 1670 of The Governor and Company of Ad¬ venturers of England trading into Hudson Bay. Through two hundred difficult years the Honourable Company helped to develop and govern much of the great West until the newly-formed Dominion of Canada took over its territorial and political rights in 1869. 21 RANDOM PHYSICS - TO STIMULATE INTEREST IN SCIENCE COMMERCIAL - TO PRODUCE EFFICIENT SECRETARIES FROM NINE LINGUISTS - TO SUPPLY A BACKGROUND FOR LIFE INDUSTRIAL ARTS - TO FURNISH A TRAINING IN FUTURE INDUSTRY 22 SHOTS GENERAL - TO GIVE A LIBERAL EDUCATION LIBRARY - TO PROVIDE A STOREHOUSE OF KNOWLEDGE AND ENTERTAINMENT TO FOUR PHYSICAL EDUCATION - TO DEVELOP HEALTHY BODIES HOME ECONOMICS - TO TRAIN THE HOMEMAKERS OF TOMORROW 23 x CLASS VALEDICTORY Delivered by Claire Woodcock at the Graduation Exercises on June 15, 1949 DR. WILLOUGHBY, DR. MacEWAN, parents and friends: Hail and farewell. That is the theme of the message which I, as a member of the graduating class of Kelvin High School, wish to express today: a greeting to the future which we now face, and a farewell to Kelvin School now so dear to us. To say good-bye to the school would not be fitting without first expressing our apprecia¬ tion for the kindness and consideration shown to us by our Principal, Dr. Willoughby, our Vice-Principal, Mr. Maxwell, and each and every member of the teaching staff. Though at times it may have appeared that seeds of wisdom have fallen on barren soil, the future, let us hope, will prove this wrong. To our parents also, we extend our gratitude for their understanding and co-operation. This day of farewell is most important to us, marking a great change in our lives. Hitherto, our parents and teachers have watched over and directed us, as individuals, along the path to a sound education. Now we are entering a more impersonal world, that or business, industry, or university where we are yet unknowns and have yet to prove our worth. We have been well prepared for this change. During our two years at Kelvin, we have passed through a period of rapid growth, both mental and physical. Our increasing powers of mind and body have been wisely developed and trained. The printed word, interpreted and explained to us by our teachers, has been the basis of our course; but reading, writing, and ' rithmetic alone cannot provide a well- rounded education. In addition, there have been many extra-curricular activities. Kelvin has gained honor through her rugby team, her operettas, her year book, her School Coun¬ cil with its infant prodigy, Careers Day, and all other activities in which her students have engaged. But while Kelvin has gained honor, we, her students, have gained much experience. These activities have provided ample opportunity for developing the qualities of leadership among those of us who will lead, and an even greater opportunity for developing the qualities of team-work and co-operation among the rest of us who are destined to be the citizens on whom the country depends. Canada needs thinking citizens today. She, like us, is just coming into her own, just be¬ ginning to make the world aware of her poten¬ tialities. This cheering thought is a challenge to us as we realize the opportunities which lie before us, young Canadians, with our youthful enthusiasm and optimism. Our ambitions may not be achieved in their entirety, but our goal is before us, and, as did Tennyson ' s hero, Ulysses, let us pledge our¬ selves to strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield. May I again say to our beloved school, Kel¬ vin, Hail and farewell. 24 - Congratulations to the Leading Students of 1948-1949 THE Governor-General ' s Medal, the highest honour ob¬ tainable in Kelvin, is awarded on the basis of 50% for scholastic standing, 25% for qualities of leadership, and 25% for participation in athletics. Last year ' s winner was Jerry Jewers. Late in 1948, Jerry was elected student presi¬ dent. Despite the time that he spent in organizing and directing the work of the School Council, Jerry was able to achieve an average of 86.1 %. He was also a member of the Kelvin ski team. The Dux Scholarship Award is presented to the boy and girl in Grade XI who have the highest scholastic standing on the final examinations. Last year ' s winners were Helen Scurfield and Barry Arnason with averages of 89.2% and 86.7% respectively. The Dux Citizenship Award is given to the boy and girl who, because of their participation in school activities, are considered most likely to make good citizens. Donna Graham and Hans Pfister were the winners in 1948-1949. Last year Donna was the editor of the year book, a member of the School Council, and vice-president of Room 37. Hans was chairman of the ethics committee of the School Council. Isbister Scholarships go to the eight Winnipeg students with the highest marks on the June examinations. Helen Scurfield ' s high average won her a first prize of $155, while Claire Woodcock won a second prize of $105. The Fort Rouge Legion Scholarships, two new awards, are given for academic standing during the year, and are open to the sons and daughters of those who served in the armed forces. Donna Niblock ' s average of 80.2% and Betty Martin ' s average of 76% enabled them to become the first winners. Congratulations and best wishes for future success are extended to these, our leading students. Across: Claire Woodcock, Donna Graham, Hans Pfister, Jerry Jewers.

INTREPID EXPLORERS THE HEROIC LA VERENDRYE GROUP, ST. BONIFACE THE GRADUATES W H ILE the English were trading in the North around Hudson Bay, the French were pressing over land, lake, and river from Montreal and Quebec. As early as 1727, Sieur de La Verendrye made his first trip into the vast unknown as far as Lake Nipigon. However, it was not until eleven years later, after almost superhuman efforts, that on September 24, 1738, he and his sons became the first white men to reach the junction of the Red and Assiniboine Rivers. Near this historic landmark they built Fort Rouge, and the name of this old fort still designates that part of Winnipeg in which Kelvin High School now stands. 29 THE SENIOR DOROTHY ARNESON — Dot — Class Vice-President 1; Bowling 2.

TO THE GRADUATES FROM THE FACULTY 41 PROMISING INDUSTRY SELKIRK SETTLER ' S CABIN, INTERIOR THE UNDERCLASSMEN pHE EARL OF SELKIRK obtained from the Hudson ' s Bay Company in 1811 a vast land grant on the Red and Assiniboine Rivers for the purpose of establishing a colony to aid his impover¬ ished countrymen, evicted from their farms in the Highlands. Selkirk ' s first party of crofters arrived in 1812 by way of York Factory and settled along the banks of the Red near the junc¬ tion. Despite floods, crop failures, and bloodshed caused by the animosity of the North West fur traders, the colony grew and persevered through all. These Selkirk settlers provided the agricultural foundation on which Manitoba was later to develop. 43 Bock Row: V. Srogen, B. DeVries, I. Laird, S, Beattie, K. Chapman, J. Allan, A, Padaima, G.

BROADENING GROWTH HARVEST TIME IN MANITOBA ' S VAST GRAINFIELDS ACTIVITIES LTHOUGH fur was still to be of first importance for many years, the production of grain increased along the fertile valley of the Red River. By the 1840 ' s an ox-cart trail had been opened up between the settlement and St. Paul, and the Bay route was abandoned. Then began a conflict of interests between union and trade with the Canadian East and the American South. By the sixties immigrants with a loyalty to the Canadas were pouring in from Ontario. Soon the struggle between fur and wheat, the old traders and the new settlers, culminated in the Riel Rebellion of 1869-70. Grain and union with the Canadian East were victorious, and, just as the new province entered Confederation, wheat superseded fur as Manitoba ' s primary product. Today, diversified agriculture holds first place. 57 ETHICS 53 Standing: Don Gauer, Lynn MacEwing. Seated: Gerry Wat¬ kins, Verna Bisset.

COUNCIL To promote the general welfare of school activities. THIS is the purpose of the Kelvin School Council. And you, like others, will probably ask, Exactly what has the 1949-1950 Council done to further this aim? Many seem to think that the Council should constantly be in the eye of the student, performing spectacular duties. In reality, what makes this organization invaluable is the fact that the whole Council and its various committees work efficiently and quietly behind the scenes. While to the most of us, school dances seem to appear from nowhere, they are the result of careful planning and hard work by the social committee. One of the Council ' s most conspicuous innova¬ tions was the gaining of permission for Kelvinites to invite outsiders to these dances. The amusing entertainment provided at the supersales¬ men parties showed that the dramatics committee did a first-rate job. Last year the introduction of Careers Day was so successful that once again this year the Council, and especially the ethics committee, organized this most profit¬ able afternoon. A popular theatre night in aid of the Red Cross was another outstanding project of the whole Council. If the students of tomorrow realize, as did the students of 1949-50, that the School Council is theirs and that it is they who determine the success of this body, then and then only, may Kelvin ' s Council continue To promote the general welfare of school activities.

QN NOVEMBER 11, the students of Kelvin High School assembled in the halls to hear a girls ' choir sing the beautiful Memorial Day hymns. Shortly before Christmas, in a spe¬ cial broadcast heard over CBW, the Kelvin mixed choir sang many lovely Christmas carols, among them the beautiful Hark Now, O Shepherds. In the dimly-lighted Crescent Fort Rouge Church, the choir, in full pro¬ cession, moved slowly down the aisle to present Kelvin ' s eighth annual carol service. A group of choral readers under the direction of Miss Sprung narrated the Christmas story, while the choir interpreted the s tory by song. A quartet, consisting of Merle Johnson, John Lee, Elaine Oakley, and Ernest Schell, sang The Angel Gabriel, and a trio, composed of Ernst Schell, Elaine Oakley, and Louise Lethbridge, sang In the Town. We Three Kings of Orient Are was sung by Ernst Schell, John Lee, and Paul White. The service ended with both choir and congrega¬ tion singing Adeste Fidelis. On February 14, 15, 16, 17, Win- nipeggers flocked to the Playhouse Theatre, where Kelvin students pre¬ sented Gilbert and Sullivan ' s operetta Patience. The students of Kelvin wish to thank Mr. Hoole, Miss Ander¬ son, and Miss Suttie for making the opera such an unqualified success. Congratulations are also extended to the cast, choruses, and entr ' acte dancers who did a splendid job. This March, for the first time in many years, Kelvin entered a school orchestra in the Festival Competition, and for its playing of melodies from Faust and melodies from Rigo- letto, under the direction of Mr. Buss, it was awarded first place. The Grade X folk song choir did extremely well in the Festival, winning its class with Le Beau Gallant and The Water of Tyne. The girls ' Glee Club received first place for its lovely renditions of Armstrong ' s ' Tis Time, I Think, by Wenlock Town and Dun- hill ' s Hie Away. FOLK SONG CHOIR Bock Row: G. Cox, B. Maxwell, M.

It is the sincere hope of the editorial staff that this annual will provide an accurate, interest¬ ing and complete rec¬ ord of your activities and achievements at Kelvin High School dur¬ ing 1949-50. Early last fall the task of compiling and editing the year book was given to Editor-in- Chief Roy Vincent. Other appointments fol¬ lowed. Shelagh Swaine became associate editor, while Vivian Schwartz and John Ken¬ nedy were selected as assistant editors. Sonya Campbell supervised a Biography Board of four students who wrote the biographies of the senior and junior graduates. Capable per¬ sons to organize and to direct the writing of the athletic articles were found in Sports Editors Lynn Honeyman and Barry lliffe. Joan Cohen as literary editor, Ron Argue as ac¬ tivities editor, Ann Carson as music editor, and Joan Abercrombie as exchange editor were put in charge of their respective sec¬ tions. Bernice Forster became art editor, while Norma Allen took charge of a small group of typists. At the helm of the advertising de¬ partment were co-managers Tom Little and Ken McIntyre. Bernice Levy and Tannis Powell as managers of the business staff rounded out the appointments. The first problem confronting the editorial staff was the selection of a theme around which the year book was to evolve. Since 1950 marks Manitoba ' s eightieth anniversary, the timeliness and suitability of a provincial theme presented itself to the staff and was unanimously accepted. Following the selection of a theme, there came several hectic months of planning lay¬ outs, arranging meetings with the printer and engraver, taking photographs, preparing art work, writing copy, and soliciting advertise¬ ments. After a sustained drive which resulted in meeting the printer ' s deadline on time, the work of this year ' s staff has at length drawn to a close. Here for your approval is the product of our year ' s work. We hope that you will enjoy this issue of the Kelvin Year Book ' and that in future years it will provide for you a treas¬ ury of happy memories. EDITORIAL STAFF Standing: Mr. L. A.

UNDER the guidance of Mr. Ward, the Kelvin Camera Club has experienced a very informative year. In Room 39A, weekly meetings were held in . which elementary photographic principles were studied. An outstanding activity of the club was the spon¬ sorship of a photo contest for the year book. Executive members for 1949-50 were: P. Webb, president; B. Halliday, secretary: and P. Powers, program chairman. TO STIMULATE student interest in bio¬ logical projects is the purpose of the newly- formed Biology Club, organized and supervised by Mr. Newfield. Each member does one project of his own choice with a minimum of help from the instructor. These activities in¬ clude growing molds, dissection, and the making of permanent microscopic slides. Club officers this year were: D. Aitken, president, and J. Thomas, vice-president. BIOLOGY CLUB. BIOLOGY CLUB Back Row: B. Baker, B. Machacek T. Sures, J. Thomas, C. Storwick. Seated: B. Paterson, D.

There northern miners deliver deep-buried treasures of copper, gold, zinc, and silver the year round. Our lakes and forests provide a living for many others in commercial fishing, fur farming, and the production of timber, wood pulp, and paper. With the great rivers of the North draining much of the land from the Rockies to the Bay, Manitoba ' s sources of hydro-electric power are tremendous. Three to four million horse power of electrical energy still stand untouched on the full-flowing Nelson and Churchill Rivers. This immense potential source of power waits to be tapped and is symbolic of the hopes for a great new North. 71 Back Row: Mr. Kerr, Mr. Kelly, Mr. Dunlop, Dr. Willoughby, Mr. Gilbert, Mr. Cross, Mr. McIntyre.

JOHN ' S: In Kelvin ' s first league game, a powerful Tech squad fought past the Clip¬ per ' s first-half lead to gain a 16-6 victory. Gigliotti scored the Kelvin touchdown. GORDON BELL: Despite good work done by linemen Dafoe and B. Hooper, Gordon Bell eked out a 1-0 win over the luckless Katies. Gigliotti and W. Hooper played their usual steady games. DANIEL MclNTYRE: In what proved to be the thriller of the season, Daniel scored an 11-6 triumph over Kelvin. Jack Oldfield car¬ ried the ball for Kelvin ' s touchdown. ISAAC NEWTON: With Taylor, Gigliotti, Screaton, McNern, Hardy, and all-star W. Hooper playing outstanding ball, Kelvin ex¬ perienced its first victory, vanquishing Newton by a score of 14-6. Gigliotti and Taylor were the point-getters. ST. JOHN ' S: In their second encounter with Kelvin, the Tigers administered a sound 18-0 drubbing. West and Watson were most im¬ pressive for the Cherry and Grey. DANIEL MclNTYRE: Gigliotti ' s touchdown and the fine play of Culchesky and Wilson were not enough to prevent Andy Currie ' s boys from defeating the Clippers 11-6. GORDON BELL: In Kelvin ' s final league game, the Panthers defeated Huck Welch ' s Katies by a 6-5. score. Taylor and all-star Gigliotti played well in the Clipper backfield. In an exhibition game played at Dauphin, Kelvin whitewashed a spunky Dauphin squad 36-0. Later, participating in the Red Feather Tournament, Kelvin scored the only touch¬ down for the combined forces of the senior high schools of south-west Winnipeg. 72 THIS YEAR Kelvin soccer teams were for¬ tunate in having as coaches Mr. Hugh Heggie and Mr. Bill Milne, members of the Fort Rouge Legion Soccer Club. Under the instruction of these men, practices were held regularly after school, while on Tuesday and Thursday eve¬ nings, chalk-talks and workouts took place in the school gym. The junior team, led by the aggressive play of Captain Leo Larson and halfback Bruce Walker, succeeded in reaching the city final. In the all-important play-off game, Daniel McIntyre defeated the Katies by the close score of 1-0. The senior team, however, fared more poorly than did their junior partners. Playing at Wesley Park in a highly competitive league, the seniors passed through a winless season, despite the fine play of Garry Zimmerman.

COACHED by Mr. Dunlop, managed by Ken Hall, and led by top scorer Al Maxwell, the senior basketballers enjoyed a mediocre season. Having had a fair degree of success in the early stages of the season, the seniors collapsed in the last half of the schedule, dropping four consecutive games.

Amassing seventy-eight points, the Kelvinites were far ahead of their nearest rival, who collected fifty-four points during the evening. In the boys ' events, Kelvin com¬ pletely dominated, placing fifteen in twelve events. Outstanding for Kelvin was Peter Morris, who snared two firsts in individual events and who swam on a first-place relay team. Gord Cumming proved to be a fine coach, while Mr. Saunders was an able manager. THIS YEAR in the annual skating races held at the Amphitheatre Rink, Kelvin with eight points placed second, runner-up to Daniel McIntyre. Mr. Dunlop entered two teams in the senior boys ' relay event. With both teams weathering the semi-finals, the A team, con¬ sisting of Roy Vincent, Pat Coinner, Doug Lane, and Ross Parke, handily won the final, while the B team finished in fourth place. In the individual events, Kelvin ' s two entries, Doug Lane and Pat Coinner, unfortunately fell, thereby failing to place. A smoothly-run program provided an enjoyable evening for both participants and spectators. SWIMMING. Back Row: G. Kroft, B. Paterson, D. Crawford, G. Bell, B. Buckland, F. McGregor. Second Row: C.

Kelvin Curling HIGHLIGHTING the 1950 curling season was the brilliant performance of the Don Gauer rink, which won nine out of a possible eleven games. This record included a 12-2 triumph over the Hartley rink in the school championship. At the conclusion of the round-robin schedule, organized by Mr. Borland, the four lead¬ ing rinks were those of Gauer, Hartley, Cribbs, and Goodwin. A post-season knockout competition had just begun when the ice melted. Back Row: B. McVicar, B. Drummond, H. Hartley, A. Walker. First Row: D. Gauer, N. Yellowlees, G. Zimmerman, B. Milliken. Inter-high Skiing ON SATURDAY, February 19, the Kelvin ski-and-snowshoe entry, organized by Miss Suttie and Dr. McCullough, out- skied five other schools to capture the annual inter-high ski meet, held at Puf¬ fin Ski Club. Kelvin rolled up a total of eighteen points, edging out a highly-favored Gor¬ don Bell squad. Outstanding among the Kelvin hickory enthusiasts was Don Mur¬ ray, the winner of the open slalom and a member of the boys ' slalom team. Peter Morris ' fine ski exhibition rounded out a most successful afternoon. 76 Back Row: C. Crawford, P. Morris, D. Murray, R. Mitchell. First Row: D. Crawford, J. Iwanchuk., W. Ham, A. Short, H.

In a keenly-contested schedule which saw games played during the study periods, the Room 33 squad edged out a fighting Room 27 aggregation to take the Grade XI-XII honors. Room 15, undefeated in league play, handily won the Grade X cham¬ pionship. In the school final, played late in the fall on a snow-covered field, Room 33 overcame Room 15 by a score of 2-0.

Basketball A POWERFUL Room 33A basketball squad defeated fifteen other rooms to capture this year ' s basketball crown. In the play-off game, Room 33 defeated Room 35, winners of the Grade X league, by a score of 30-10. Or¬ ganizers of the basketball league were Mr. F. Palmer and Terry Rowan. Back Row: B. Graham, B. Mitchell, R. Hardy. First Row: N. Yellowlees, G. Zimmerman, G. Cumming, C. Chesley. Hockey THE INTER-CLASS hockey league, organ¬ ized and directed by Messrs. Biglow and Popiel, was once again conducted on a knock¬ out basis with games played after school at the Sir John Franklin Community Club Rink. In a one-sided final, Room 33 retained the school championship by defeating a Room 34 squad, whose players, although unable to cope with the smooth team play of the victors, nevertheless gave a good account of them¬ selves. Back Row: B. Mitchell, N. Buchanan, Q. Bamford, C. Laurin, R. Hardy, T. Patteson. First Row: B. Watson, D. Trainor, E. Taylor, C.

The lone Kelvin crew, consisting of B. Brisbin, G. McKenzie, L. Cuntz and A. King, placed second, defeated in the finals by a Norwood crew. Later in the season Kelvin placed first in an exhibition race held in commemoration of Winnipeg ' s seventy-fifth anniversary at the Winnipeg Canoe Club. Hans Pfister proved to be a most competent coach. EVERY THURSDAY from November to March, six teams bowled in the school league. The pennant was captured in an exciting play-off by a Room 27 team, the Nogood- nicks, whose members, B. Sutherland, B. Walker, K. Mann, B. Goodwin and T. Bram- well, also won honors for bowling the highest team game. The trophy for the individual high average went to T. Wright of the Spares. The efforts of Secretary F. McMil¬ lan made the league highly successful. CHe erleader s Kneeli standing: M aa ’ neS ' H ■ Clifford. n9: J ' Mosso S.

As a result, The Kelvin and Inter-High Field Days were indefinitely postponed and we have not been able to record any field day results in this edition of the Kelvin Year Book. Similarly, the inter-high track-and-field-team pictures, usually found at the back of the book, are missing. 78 FOCUS ON GIRLS ' ATHLETICS . . . SENIOR BASKETBALL. By winning all games in their four- team league, the Kelvin senior girls be¬ came city champs and advanced into the provincial final. In the provincial play-off, held at River Heights School, the Kopper Kweens from Flin Flon de¬ feated Kelvin by the narrow margin of two points. The work and support of Miss Suttie and Mr. Kerr were appre- ciated by all. Kelvin 13 Isaac Newton 3 Kelvin 26 Gordon Bell 10 Kelvin 21 _ Daniel McIntyre 12 Kelvin 15 .

Inter-high Skiing ON FEBRUARY 18, the annual ski and snow- shoe meet, sponsored by the Junior Chamber of Commerce, was held at Puffin Ski Club. The girls again did fheir full share in helping to secure top honors for Kelvin. Kelvin ' s senior slalom team, consisting of Betty Fuson, Lois McKerchar, Claudia Shepard and Frances Struthers, managed to place second. In the individual events, skier Lois McKerchar and snowshoer Ann Ironside were winners, while Claudia Shepard in the Grade X cross-country, and Pat Malaher in the Grade XI cross-country placed first and second respectively.

As Gateway to the West, Winnipeg is the great railway centre of the province and of the Dominion. A tiny settlement has grown to a metropolis with 1,300 manufacturing and processing industries, drawing raw materials from every part of the province. Possessing numerous schools of various types, Winnipeg is Mani¬ toba ' s educational centre. Nor may we forget that the capital is the cultural nucleus of the province as evidenced by The Symphony Orchestra, The Winnipeg Ballet, The Art Gallery, and The Museum. With infinite variety in both city and country, Manitoba looks to the future for even greater development. 85 KELVIN NEW WRITING . . . SHORT STORY COMPETITION WINNERS: 1.

The entire island seemed to be wrapped in sleep. Nothing broke the serenity of the languid air except the occasional buzzing of indus¬ trious beetles, or the lazy tapping of a woodpecker deep in the birches. There was not a soul in sight. The lethargy of the afternoon appeared contagious, for pre¬ viously I had been repairing a portion of the dock, shat¬ tering the stillness with energetic blows from my hammer, but now I was stretched out on my back, half asleep. A noisy blue-bottle fly which zoomed in drowsy circles near my face kept me from reaching total oblivion. To avoid this persistent pest, I decided to find another place to rest. As I scrambled to my feet, I noticed someone approaching. Good afternoon, sir, I said. Can I help you? It was J. B. Ryan and his son Edward, guests of Mrs. Kirk, my employer, the owner of the island and proprietor of the Lodge. Ah, yes, Jim. Have you a canoe we could rent for the afternoon? Yes, sir. This way please. I led him to the boat¬ house. We have to return to the city tomorrow, he con¬ tinued, and we thought we ' d try our luck once more. It was then I noticed that Ed carried his fishing gear. Fishing from canoes was prohibited here: it was too dangerous and I told them so. But j. B. was one of those fellows who believed that because he had done something risky once and was fortunate enough to ex¬ perience no mishap, he could do it again with similar results. I argued politely, but he insisted. At length I gave in; I don ' t know why. Perhaps the heat of the sun had affected me. I was to regret this lapse later. As they prepared to push away from the dock, I asked them where they intended to go, for it was part of my job to know their whereabouts should they fail to return on time. Oh, just around the point to Jackfish Bay was the answer. You won ' t get anything at a fished-out spot like that on a day like this, I explained. Your best bet is to go to the Cove. Just follow the shore of the island until you come to Echo Rock. Then cut between the two small islands at your right. You can ' t miss them. Once past there, you ' ll be in Big Grain Lake. Cut right across to the far shore. You ' ll get all the fish you want if you troll around there, ' cause the water is always deep and cold. How long will it take us to get there? J. B. asked. You ought to reach Big Grain by three-thirty. I ' d say forty-five minutes altogether. Righto, we ' re away. Shove off, Ed! The canoe skimmed gently across the sullen water and disappeared around the point. I picked up the hammer and returned to my work. Again the silence of the afternoon was shattered by my pounding. I was laboriously caulking the side of one of the rowboats when the sun was unexpectedly hidden by a fast-moving black cloud. Almost as soon as this hap¬ pened, the tops of the pines began to lash back and forth in a powerful wind that seemingly started as abruptly as if turned on by a switch. I was accustomed 86 to such storms, the scourge of the lakes, that changed serenity into violence within a period of a few moments. Almost immediately, the sky, once blue, was black, filled with heavy clouds that cast a yellow tint over the entire island. If the bay had been quiet before, it was now a seething rolling turmoil. A moment ago, I had been drowsy and warm in the sunshine. Now, cold and alert, I looked at my watch. It was three-thirty. My heart skipped a beat. Mr. Ryan and his son would be in the middle of Big Grain Lake at this very moment. The best canoeist could not cope with Big Grain in weather like this. I had no alternative. I raced down to the dock, untied the speedy open runabout, hopped in, started the motor, threw her into gear, and raced off into the giant white- caps. As I rounded he point, the rain came, sheets of it, that reduced visibility to approximately fifty feet. 1 drove with my gob hat over my face, for the pounding rain dashed into my eyes, almost blinding me. I could see the bottom of the boat bend every time I smashed into a huge wave. The intense wind constantly blew my little craft off course. Several times I had the sinking feeling that I had taken the wrong channel, but some¬ how between the sheets of rain, I managed to catch a glimpse of some distinguishing land mark. I figured that I could reach Big Grain Lake in a little less than ten minutes. I hoped to be in time to save Mr. Ryan and his son from almost certain death. I fully realized that if an accident did occur, I would be responsible. It was against my orders to rent canoes for fishing, and it was I who had suggested that they go to the cove. The fury of the storm appeared to be increasing. My eyes hurt from the pelting rain and I was afraid that the hull of my boat would not stand the constant beating it had to take. Then I caught a glimpse of Echo Rock directly ahead. As I thundered past, the echo of the motor could not be heard over the roar of lashing waves and howling wind. While I fought my way between the two small islands, a loon, startled by my sudden appear¬ LIGHT By ESTHER ISRAELS HE started violently and whirled around at the sound of the clear voice which came with unexpected sudden¬ ness from behind him. Oh dear, I ' m terribly sorry. I didn ' t mean to startle you, it said again in the same clear tone, I just said that I thought it was a nice day, that ' s all. He breathed heavily with relief, and sank back against the hard support of the park bench, strug¬ gling to regain his previous calmness. He gave no out¬ ward sign of having heard the apology, and only the quick twitch of a muscle in his jaw gave evidence that he had been disturbed at all. His face remained a grey, frozen mask. The clean-cut features were moulded into stiff unyielding lines, which gave a menacing appearance to his otherwise fine young face. As he remained motionless, speechless, expressionless, he could feel the presence of the intruder close at hand. He kept very still, hoping that she would either go away, or keep quiet. After several moments of silence, he thought with relief that whoever it was had left, but he was unpleasantly surprised a second later to hear an involuntary giggle come from the place where he had first heard the voice, and then without further warning, a merry laugh rang out, echoing along the silent paths of the park through the equally silent woods up and ance, dived from his place of shelter into the water. Just as I entered the churning lake, I thought I caught a glimpse of something red floating in the water about one hundred yards ahead. The storm was abating and I was able to make a fairly good search of the lake and its shores. I could find nothing. I was almost mad with grief as I continued searching for an hour, during which time the storm passed and the sun came out, revealing a fresh and cleansed landscape. My thoughts, however, were as tumultous as the storm which had just passed. At length, I realized further searching would be use¬ less. Moreover, the fuel gauge showed that my gas supply was running low. The contrast, between the sun¬ set through which I drove home and the storm through which I came, was inconceivable. The sky, once blue and then black, was now scarlet, set off by rolls of golden clouds. The retreating storm clouds were a brilliant purple, matching the shadows cast by the massive pines which bordered the channel. When I passed between the two islands on my return, the same loon fled from the same spot and soared h igher and higher into the air, until he too became scarlet in the rays of the evening sun. As I passed Echo Rock, the echoes and re-echoes of the booming engine were sent thundering across the water. The dismal roar corresponded exactly to my thoughts. My grief and fear were incomparable. This tragedy was the result of my carelessness, my disobedi¬ ence. I rounded the point and raced up to the dock. After securing the boat, I staggered over to a bench and sat down in an effort to gather my turbulent thoughts. I remained there for some time, my head bowed in despair. A shout aroused me. Hey, where have you been all afternoon? it said. I wanted to show you the swell string Dad and I caught over at that so-called fished-out Jackfish Bay. Up ran Ed Ryan, jubilantly swinging a good-sized pickerel on the end of a string. Dazedly I looked at him, and weakly murmured, Congratulations. across the grassy hills. He started again, that laugh still ringing in his ears. He had heard a laugh like that before, not so long before. Then he had laughed along with it, for it was delightfully contagious. He did not laugh now, however, but shook his head and closed his eyes as if straining to drive away unpleasant memories. Being unsuccessful, he sighed deeply, and buried his face in his hands. I didn ' t scare you again! she gasped in a shocked voice, but not being able to control her laughter, she started again, loud and long. I ' m sorry. I just couldn ' t help it. Didn ' t you see that funny little squirrel—that one—third from the left—didn ' t you see what he . . . He lifted his head for a moment, the rigid facial lines tightening. 87 I didn ' t see it ' he snapped trying to keep his voice steady. I didn ' t see a thing. I am biind. Immediately all trace of amusement left her, and she said softly, hesitatingly, I ... I didn ' t realize . . . please ... I hope you didn ' t think . . . He cut short her broken attempt at apology. Forget it, you had no way of knowing. Finally she broke the awkward silence which followed by inquiring, You come here often? He was annoyed. What difference did it make to her? Why didn ' t she leave him alone? Hadn ' t she done harm enough by dragging back to his mind things he had been desperately trying to forget? Yes, he mumbled, I ' ve got to get out sometime, so I come here. It ' s so quiet here, he went on, more to himself than to her, so very quiet. You can be alone here with nobody to bother you. You don ' t like to be with people? she ventured haltingly. No, he answered less abruptly, and in a somewhat more friendly manner. Then through clenched teeth he added, I can ' t mix with other people. I couldn ' t take it. I ' d feel the pitying glances, hear the whispers. His voice was mounting with feeling as he almost shouted at her, Well, let them whisper, as long as I can ' t hear it . . . they don ' t have to tell me, I know. His voice grew bitterly soft. I ' m a killer . . . but they let me off . . . free to forget. Only I carry around souvenirs, he sneered, little remembrances so that I ' ll never forget. These! He pointed to his sightless eyes with a trembling hand. His voice died away, and the only sound was the whispering of leaves in the branches. She regarded him closely—the face twisted in agony, the blank eyes, and she sat forward expectantly, but uttered no sound of shock or fear. He noticed this, and felt himself drawn toward her as if by some mysterious magnetic power. He no longer resented her presence, but longed to talk to her, to tell her, although she was a stranger. He wanted desperately to tell her the reason for his previous outburst. Anyway, why shouldn ' t she know? Everyone else seemed to know. It made a good story. He knew she was waiting for him to go on. We had been holidaying, he began harshly, Mom, Dad, Gloria, and I. His voice softened as he explained, Gloria was my fiancee. We were supposed to come back to the city on Sunday afternoon, but there was such a bad storm on Saturday night that the roads were muddy and slippery, and so the family wanted to stay a few days more. He paused, and laughed bitterly. I didn ' t. No, I wanted to get back as soon as I could. I didn ' t like the mosquitoes. She winced at his sarcasm, but kept her eyes fixedly on the narrator. She waited breathlessly. I got my way, he went on. We left that night after dinner. That was the last time we ever ate together. Here his voice broke with emotion, and they sat in silence for a long while before he could trust his voice again. It was so dark, he whined, almost like a pleading child, I couldn ' t see the road very well, and you could cut the fog with a knife. The other guy had no lights—I couldn ' t see a thing until we crashed. Then I got a look at Gloria ' s face as I was thrown against her. That ' s the last thing I ever saw. The rest were killed. His voice dropped. As I lay there in the night, pinned between the twisted metal, I prayed fo r death, but I was spared—sentenced to life and memory. They told me at the hospital that there was a chance—just a slim chance—that I could recover my sight if I would go through some operation, but why should I? I don ' t want to see again! How could I bear to see all the dear things around home . . . happy people . . . memories of the family without suffering, without remembering how i destroyed them, the only things I ever loved, by my own hands? He raised his hands, spread the fingers wide and held them out for her to see. These, he whispered brokenly, exhausted from his effort, these are the hands of a murderer. Suddenly he was astounded to feel two warm hands grip his outstretched ones, and to hear her low musical voice caress his ears with tender words of sympathy; not the type of sympathy he had received resentfully before, the type that made him cringe and draw away, but her gentle words soothed and com¬ forted his tortured soul. The air had grown chilly with the fall of dusk, and it was time for them to leave, but not before they had arranged to meet again the next afternoon. Day after day, they came together in the park, and as spring ripened into summer, and the baby buds matured into lush blossoms, their friendship grew. Sometimes she would bring a book of poems—always Tennyson—and read to him. He loved to listen to her speak, for to him her voice was like the singing of a sensitive violin. Very gradually his dreary outlook began to change. He wanted to live again. She taught him to laugh once more, and to hope, to look forward with some eagerness to the future, and to have a zest for life in general, for such was her love for life that she was able to inspire it in him. During this time when she was finding out so much about him, she told him very little in return, but encour¬ aged him to talk about himself. She brought him new interests and revived his old ones. Soon he began to have the desire to see. He longed to see her, the angel who had eased his mind and captured his heart, for as the days shortened and the trees donned their festive dress, their friendship blossomed into love. He longed to watch again the changing of the seasons, to gaze at a starry sky, but most of all to see the face of his love. He didn ' t really have to see her, for he knew what she looked like, even though he had no evidence. She couldn ' t be any different. She ' s not very tall, he would murmur in the solitude of his room, just the right height, her eyes are brown— roguish—with a dark fringe, and her hair is dark and cut short. Her mouth is always smiling and her nose crinkles with the smile. It was a perfect picture. He entered the hospital on November sixth and by the sixteenth, they told him that the operation was suc¬ cessful. The long period of convalescence was impa¬ tiently lived through. He counted the weeks, days, and hours until the obstructing bandages would be taken off forever, and his new world would be in his eyes. She wrote to him every day, and every day the nurses would come in to read him the letters. He wanted to snatch them from their hands and read them himself, over and over again. Finally the great day came when the dark curtain was lifted and he saw light once more. He was delirious with joy, and the first thing he did was to go to the park to meet the one he had been dreaming of for the twelve weeks spent away from her. He hadn ' t told her he was coming today, for he wanted it to be a surprise. It was spring again and everything seemed to stir and rustle with a newly discovered life. The sky was blue and the birds were singing. The world was perfect. He winked at a chipmunk and jumped over a hedge. Only a few more steps—as he drew nearer to the spot where she always sat, his heart skipped a beat, tor he could hear her reading aloud to herself. He hurried around the concealing clump of bushes and froze in his tracks. There, in a wheel chair, he saw the pathetic body of a hopeless cripple, reading Tennyson to a solemn squirrel. 88 VENGEANCE By SUZANNE PAWLOWSKA IT WAS autumn when they were brought to the Kirghis Steppes. Immediately, they were set to work clearing and building. There was nothing there at first, on that desolate land, but the wind and the northern sky, like a gray dome bending to the horizon where it blended with the treeless waste in misty obscurity. Soon huts of unbaked brick sprang up, the familiar landmark of a prison camp. Such an establishment was so common a sight in the wild Siberian lands, that the natives, a few slant-eyed Mongols, gazed on with but casual interest. None too soon were the dwellings built, for the sharp wind that forecasts winter began to blow, with a wail as dismal as the surroundings. The women, some freshly plucked from their civilized cities by the ravages of war, looked on with apprehension and dread as the days grew shorter and the air became more chilly and penetrating, for the northern fall was coming to an end and the polar winter was beginning. Before the ground froze, they made bricks. Mixing the ash-coloured clay with manure, they worked all day in the half twilight, filling the forms with their bare, cold, numbed, acid-wounded hands. In silence, breath¬ lessly, sweating, constantly aware of the guards ' pres¬ ence, they laboured to meet their quota, their unattain¬ able quota. The once pretty faces grew haggard bending over the heavy blocks that had to be carried to the top of an ever-mounting pile. At last, the cold, now bitter and biting made the work impossible, and the fruits of their labours were carried off in a long caravan of trucks to Novo Sibusk. Then winter with its howling winds, driving sleet, endless white days, and numbing cold— zima in all its Siberian implications came to the camp. In the crowded huts, heat was scarce. Fuel, bricks of straw, and dung gave little heat and a foul odour. The water holes on the stream froze up from day to day; and from week to week the half-mile trek to the river grew more and more dangerous. Soon they began melting snow for water, but as this took up a great deal of heat, liquid became scarce in the huts. Then disease broke out! The first death, the second; then they became as common as the white flakes of snow. After a while the prisoners could shed no more tears, feel no more pain, save that of the numbing, overpowering cold. Eventually spring did come; the warmth did return. Soon the heat was as untamed as the cold had been. With warmer weather came orders to clear the land and begin sowing. Weakened by the winter ' s privation, and spent by the struggle for survival, they emerged from their dens. With crude tools and their bare hands, they attacked the virgin soil to wrench crops from it. The land that had lain untouched beneath the vast melan¬ choly Russian sky for countless centuries now gave forth rich fruits. In the fertile black earth, the vegetables grew and developed to tremendous size, while simul¬ taneously the resentment of the prisoners blossomed out. As the weeks wore on, the scorching sun each day found the women carrying water from the brook and watering each cabbage on the long stretch of field. They kept their eyes on the ground, and bitter was the gaze that fell on the cabbages they passed; bitter with the loss of their beauty and youth. Back and forth they trudged over the black earth they had tilled, all day long in the reach of the guardsmen ' s whip and curse, working all day and far into the evening. Thus the sun found them every day, and thus left them, ape-like silhouettes bending under the weight of the wooden buckets. Among all the others was one “monster cabbage, that in size, beauty, and perfection exceeded all the rest. Each day the foreman came to gloat over it and to insure its receiving four buckets of water instead of the usual one. A rumor spread throughout the camp that the monster was destined for a fair in Moscow, where, if it won a prize, which it was sure to do for it was indeed phenomenal, it would bring medals and promotion to the foreman. Therefore, when the chief gazed with exultation at his prize, the prisoners sent it malevolent looks. The night before the harvest began fell with a silent hush over the camp. Then, as everyone slept with an expectant slumber, two figures emerged from one of the hovels. Silently they slunk to the tool shed, from which they emerged with an object which they concealed in their skirts. Darting along by the stream, and then across the fields, they at last arrived breathless before the monster. Panting, they gazed at the odious, detestable head. Then one raised an ax which she let fall on the head. In that act of destruction, the death, the suffering, and the degradation of these lost ones seemed to be avenged. At first, they started at the sight of the great gash, but then malignant smiles spread over their taut faces. They regarded each other for awhile and their gaze was full of dread and horror at what they had become—they that once had been merry, beautiful women, mothers, wives, before the war that let loose hell. The sight of the slain monster brought over them floods of memories of happy days in their homeland, and then of the terror of the camps and the degradation they had suffered. Here was their revenge for their lost homes, lost youth, lost happiness. Plunged in thought, they stood over the slashed head. Awakened from reverie by the fear of discovery which always arouses caution, they set to work dismembering their victim. Swiftly they cut the head into small pieces which they stealthily carried to the brook ' s brink and buried in the wet sand. With the care of experienced criminals, they concealed the body and meticulously covered up their traces. Then, casting one last hurried look backward, they stole like ghosts to the sleeping camp. The break of day brought forth the roar of the fore¬ man ' s rage. Like a wild beast he raved. Flinging him¬ self on the ground, he bit the dust and filled the air with monstrous oaths. By evening, these savage out¬ breaks of emotion had died down. He lay exhausted staring at the sky with bloodshot, glassy, fearcrazed eyes. At sundown , the men from the plane, which had been ordered for the prize, led him away. Undoubtedly his destination was Moscow where he would be tried for sabotage and eventually shot for treason. He passed the women, returning from the fields, with head downcast and body shrunken with terror. Their glances followed him and he shrank the more as if he could feel the insults those looks showered on him. Soon the whirl of propellers was heard as the plane rose from a nearby field. It circled several times over the prison camps, from which puffs of smoke rose into the sky bearing with them the scent of boiled cabbage. Then it disappeared into the autumnal twilight. 89 ESSAY COMPETITION WINNERS: 1. The Calgary Stampede —Joan Abercrombie. 2. Should We Ban Primers Too? —Barry lliffe. 3.

THE CALGARY STAMPEDE By JOAN ABERCROMBIE THE Calgary Stampede, which has been a foremost attraction for people throughout North America for many years, has made the cow town of Calgary famous. Not the least of the reasons for the success of this annual event is the festive spirit and attitude of the Calgarians themselves. The town practically brims over with enthusiasm. Men, women, and children dress in the characteristic costumes of the wild and woolly west. In fact, at the beginning of the week, visitors are detected by their ordinary clothing. However, at the end of the week the enthusiasm has proved its con¬ tagion by the fact that it is but a rare person who is not wearing a ten-gallon hat, cowboy boots, a kerchief around the neck, or other forms of the typical dress. The initial event of last year ' s stampede was a monster parade held in downtown Calgary. The spectators lined the streets, filled the doorways, and enjoyed the parade from every possible vantage point. What a sight to see on all sides the gay colours on the even gayer people! There were floats of every description from many laige firms, towns, and ranches. Chuck wagons and horse¬ back riders were predominant among the beautiful and comical floats. An entry of special interest was the one bearing the Calgary Stampeders ' Rugby Team. A humor¬ ous caricature was the solemn procession of Torontonians four of whom were carrying a casket bearing the sign: The Ottawa Roughriders. First prize was awarded to the X.Y. Ranch located near Calgary. The entire parade was a sparkling display of colour and showed the results of months of preparation. It certainly served its festive purpose by infecting all present with the atmosphere of general interest and gaiety. The afternoon performance at the Stadium was a typical western show of thrills and spills. It was held in the large arena bordered by low, rolling hills. Just inside the enclosure ran a long race track over which sweltering horses galloped every half-hour. A main attraction was the bronco-busting. Dauntless cowboys incurred real danger while attempting to stay on the backs of wild broncos. Similarly, lives were being risked as equally brave cowhands tried to remain on the backs of fierce Brahma bulls. A rather heartless event was the catching and roping of a small calf—a race against time. Poor calf! Attempting to catch a steer and to tie a ribbon on its horns was a rather ridiculous attraction, but, nevertheless, one requiring much skill. The aforementioned were but a few of the thrills one received upon attending the afternoon show. That show, however, was but half of the day ' s pro¬ gramme. The first item of the evening ' s attractions was the exciting chuck wagon races. Until one has seen them, one cannot understand the excitement created and the thrills provided. When the tension had slackened and the hubbub had died down a portable stage was erected in front of the grandstand. From it, there were first of all greetings of an official nature delivered by the mayor of Calgary. These were rather weak and stilted in comparison with those of the mayor of Toronto, who, in his turn, invited all to visit his city. An amusing incident was the return of the Toronto goalposts by members of the Calgary Stampeders. The stage show itself was of excellent quality, containing a variety of acts pleasing to all. Nobody, young or otherwise, could feel that this part of the great Stampede had fallen below the usual high standard. The general Stampede atmosphere did not confine itself only to these shows, but throughout each day, from dawn to dusk, downtown Calgary was a sight to behold. Here and there one encountered yodelling cow¬ boys, open barbecues, old-fashioned square dances, and all other forms of entertainment provided by different Alberta towns and ranches. Never was there a dull moment during the spectacular Stampede week! Rain or shine, thousands of people entered whole-heartedly into the exciting atmosphere of enthusiasm and gaiety, and received many thrills never to be forgotten. 90 SHOULD WE BAN PRIMERS TOO? By BARRY ILIFFE WHILE glancing through several of my elementary school text-books recently, I happened to come across a once-cherished first-grade reader. Immediately I was filled with memories, but as I delved more deeply into the contents, I was amazed; in fact, I was worried. I asked myself, Is the material in these stories suitable for undeveloped minds? Since I realize that those first-grade books have made a most profound impression on me, it is necessary that such books contain stories of the highest quality. It seemed fitting while in grade one, to read about the thrills and adventures of Grunty Frog, and his life on the lily-pad, but are these selec¬ tions as suitable as we think they are? Take, for ex¬ ample, the racy narrative entitled The Elves and the Sandman —a frightful piece. It begins with the catch¬ ing phrase, Hallowe ' en has come. The elves are happy. I feel that this is a misleading statement for the elves were not happy because Hallowe ' en had come, but rather because Hallowe ' en was the last day in October, and therefore pay-day. However, back to the story which continues: The elves said The boys and girls want to stay up to-night. Let us stay up too. We do not want to go to sleep. This is an outrageous and libellous statement. A recent nation-wide survey shows that more elves want to go to sleep than not. Moreover, the story is definitely pro¬ child and anti-parent in the never-ceasing struggle of getting children to bed. Because the book sides with the wrong party, we should hesitate before using it as a basis for elementary education. But it does not stop there. The dauntless elves decide that in order to pre¬ vent the children from going to sleep, they must waylay the sandman, who is obviously some sort of political revolutionist. One totally debased elf suggests that they steal the sandman ' s bag of sand. This heinous plan is accepted with great glee by the rest, before the very eyes of the young reader, and one of the desperadoes states that, This will be fun. The demented dwarfs, driven on by their own corrupt and selfish desires, ap¬ proach the unfortunate Sandman ' s home, enter it, steal his bag of sand, and hide it in a hollow tree. The elves are not caught and the sand is not returned. Therefore, it is a perfect crime. In my opinion, this escapade is no less than breaking and entry, theft and larceny, for which any court would impose a sentence of at least two years in jail. Granted this robbery is a small-scale job, but one must realize that in the eyes of an unexperienced youngster, this crime appears greatly magnified. Surely the influence of such stories on the juvenile mind is equally as harmful as that of crime comics. Carrying our censorship of reading material one step further, can we not ban many, if not all, of these elementary school bo oks? WHY GIRLS SHOULD SHARE THE BILL By COLIN CRAWFORD THIS topic is not only of local concern, but also of national importance, so much so, that I and other mem¬ bers of my sex have given the subject considerable thought. Dating, as it is commonly called, seems to be of much more importance to girls than it is to boys; why therefore should not the girls share the financial cost? The girl will spend hours before a mirror preening herself for an all-important party, while the boy, so he says, will be dressed in fifteen minutes for the same function. Does this not prove that the preparation for the party is sheer pleasure for the girl, while for the boy it is a stark necessity? After much discussion, we of the male sex agree that skiing, playing hockey, or swimming afford greater pleasure, whereas the opposite sex clamor for a dance, a party or a show. Let us consider the preliminaries. While the girl is anticipating the fun she is going to have at the party, the boy is usually coping with realities, the greatest of which is his father. The father lectures him on expenses, on driving conditions, and on the necessity of returning home at what he calls a reasonable hour. He never fails to tell him what a wonderful time he could give a girl with a dollar in his pocket, and how he always returned her home on the stroke of twelve. He also expands on his favourite topic—that the car is a luxury not a necessity. He extols the comfort both of the bus and of the street-car, which are far beneath his dignity to ride. Another problem arises. Does the girl expect to go home and have a bite to eat after the dance? No, No, a thousand times No! She invariably chooses the most distant place, which is often the most expensive. Our hero would be content with a hot-dog and coke but the girl ' s appetite runs to daintier dishes that are easier on the figure, but harder on the pocket-book. While the girl is relaxing over the refreshments, her escort is submerged in the depths of gloom, as he mentally fingers his fast-dwindling wallet. After due consideration on the subject of equality, does it not seem reasonable that the girl should pay her share of the expenses? Fathers, even boys ' fathers, are only human. They cannot be blamed for protesting vigourously, if, in addition to providing spending money for their sons, they are providing entertainment for other men ' s daughters. If this weighty economic problem could be solved, think of the added enjoyment there would be in such social intercourse. 91 POETRY COMPETITION WINNERS: 1. The Pool —Clara Storwick. 2. The Harbinger —Joan Cohen. 3. Sundance —Bula Paterson. 4. Walking to School —Barry Murphy, 5. How It ' s Done -—Lynn Shaw. THE POOL By CLARA STORWICK In a hollow of the prairie As a child, she found the pool, Laid amidst the tall bulrushes, Shimmering, a forbidden jewel; And with childhood ' s way of thinking She would look toward the sky. It ' s a tear-drop, she would murmur Fall ' n from some unhappy eye. Back she came and it was summer. Years had passed and she was grown. Long hair brushed the ageless surface As she leaned to the unknown. From the depths a face of beauty Smiled at her with eyes so gay. Thought she only of tomorrow For it was her wedding-day. Leaves of scarlet, grasses amber. On the crystal surface lay. To the lady on the moss-bank Mirrored was the hair of gray. Toil-worn hands with gnarled fingers Face which wind and sun had lined Years of toiling for the harvest By the pool were brought to mind. From the gray sky snow was falling, Rushes black against the white, When she faltered, crowned with silver To the pool in muted light. Many years upon the prairie They had loved this haunted shore. With a sad smile she departed Knowing she would come no more. THE HARBINGER By JOAN COHEN The snow, ' tis gone; That first paper blanket of Autumn Momentarily hid The ground—the dirt, The wickedness That clothed the earth. Beautiful, Yet promising bitter things: Cold, Swift, biting winds, And more, Oh, too much more Of itself. But now, ' tis gone. Again we see The tired browns and greens Still waiting. Praying For relief. ' Twill come. For now, the snow Is gone. SUNDANCE By BULA PATERSON Do we notice his rapture And pause on our way? A fence throws its pattern On the white snow. Do we see its clean beauty And feel a warm glow? In spring do we see The new shoots on the trees— Do we smell the soft fragrance That is borne on the breeze? As we hurry along On our way to our goal Do we use only eyes— Or see with our soul? Valley of the Sundance, lonely and wild, Paradise secluded, nature undefiled. Hidden in this canyon, the Sundance streams. Softly sets a-dancing stray sunbeams; Tiny rapids singing—melody fills The Rockies, rising, o ' er rough, rolling hills. Cascading silver spray at a log-filled bend, Never in a hurry—there ' s eternity to spend. Sombre stand the pines, silent over all. But Sundance ripples—hushed laughter at the fall. In quiet water leaps the rainbow trout. In shady green depths, darting in and out. Tall pines preen by a sky-filled pool, Thick soft moss lies shady and cool. The sun never shone on a place so fair As that garden of nature beyond compare. Ever in my memory and fond day-dream— The Sundance canyon, the Sundance stream. HOW IT’S DONE By LYNN SHAW The urge to swear is strong within; Although we know it is a sin. Just hold your breath and count to ten. And you ' ll have simmered down by then. When baby bawls, or mother calls. Or as the paint you ' re using falls, Just hold your breath and count to ten. And you ' ll have simmered down by then. When soapy hair is in your eye. And ne ' er a towel is found nearby, Just hold your breath and count to ten, And you ' ll have simmered down by then. WALKING TO SCHOOL By BARRY MURPHY How few of us pause, And really see Against the blue sky The branch of a tree— The smoke of the chimneys In the crisp clear air— The track of a foot-print Going where? A dog that is joyous And wants to play. 93 Betty Hunter WATER-COLOR Bernice Forster WATER-COLOR CANADA J ' AVINCJ RflNH r S mt 9 X JL NP SERIES YOU NEVER SAVE UNTIL YOU START Gayle Martin POSTER WATER-COLOR Junior Councillor HELEN SCURFIELD “SALUTE” to oar JUNIOR COUNCIL and JUNIOR EXECUTIVE rpHERE are 53 of them . . . bright, alert, keen young Canadians who meet every Saturday morning, from September to May.

In 1911, City Hydro supplied the first low-cost electricity to the citizens of Winnipeg, at 3-1 3 cents per kilowatt hour. City Hydro power serves 83% of the families in Winnipeg from the two City owned and operated power plants on the Winnipeg River at Pointe du Bois and Slave Falls. This low rate has placed the convenience and economy of electric service within the reach of every income and has contributed greatly towards the high standard of living now enjoyed in Winnipeg homes.
