DEBATING CLUB Back Row: Melanie Bahrynowski, Bob McAlpine, Pat McGrath, Ed Golomb. Fronf Ro Fran Bilinski, Siobhan Rickard, Brenda Coopman, Ann Tod. W: The Lakehead College debating club was this year faced with an unparalleled record to uphold. No time elapsed after the election of officers took place, and, Pat McGrath — who was elected President, Siobhan Rickard — Vice-President and Pat Shannon — Secretary, along with many rhetoric enthusiasts, began informal debates within the College. On November 22 the subject Resolved, that Canada Should Have Its Own Flag was presented in such a manner that even the judges were at a loss to proclaim a winner. Similar debates were staged along with ' con- tention in words ' with several of the high schools and the Teachers College. Plans for a trip to the University of Manitoba were also discussed.

CAMERA CLUB Standing: Sin Soo Kung, Gilles Leblanc, Veikko Johannes, Keith Sitch, Robert McAlpine, John Bishop. Seated: Earl Johnson. The Camera Club has seven members and a wonderful wealth of equipment in the dark room. The members all seem to be enthusiastic and co- operative in their efforts towards the success of the club. We have received a grant of one hundred and five dollars from the Students ' Council, with which to purchase chemicals and equipment. It was decided by the Camera Club and the Yearbook Staff that the Camera Club members be responsible for the coverage of all sports, social and club activities, in order to make the Yearbook as successful as possible. Things are progressing very well and all indications are pointing to a suc- cessful year. 19

BRIDGE TOURNAMENT Every college and university usually has some out- standing social, scholastic or athletic trait peculiar to itself. Lakehead College, in spite of its size and com- paratively meagre resources has managed to win ac- claim and recognition for outstanding achievement in a game which requires of its pupil extreme mental alert- ness, determination, desire to win, and sheer physical and mental prowess. The game is contract bridge; a game which has entrenched its very deepest roots into the hearts and souls of the great majority of the college ' s students. To exhibit the high standard of play and to en- courage the game within the school, a Bridge Night is held each year. Bridge Night ' 61 was under the expert direction of ' a real pro ' , Mr. Philip Rickard. The common room was well filled with students seeking the rich prizes, the undying glory, and the master points that fall prey to the winners. The grand champions among the east-west groups were Armas West and Allan Carlson with 73 points. Runnersup were Lloyd Fucile and Brian Keenan with 70 points. In the north-south division Mike Helper and Bob McAlpine took top honours with an 83 point effort. Petro Janiuk and Patricia Shannon were close behind with 72 points. Bridge Night did not belong solely to the winners; all the competitors enjoyed the keen, advanced play (?) and this rather unusual but affirmed intellectual event was a great source of pride to each student of the col- lege. 21
