♦ SOCIAL ♦ (O ith the arrival of September Lord Selkirk School once again undertook to plant the seeds of learning. These, watered with the distribution of books, brought such thoughts to mind as, “Some books are to be tasted, others to be swallowed, and some few to be chewed and digested.” The confusion of the first few days being over and teachers convincing us that “tall oaks from little acorns grow,” we settled down to a year of hard work. This accomplished and new ' acquaintances made, the time for class elections arrived from which arose our capable school council, pre¬ sided over by our school president, Bruce Young. Soon girls’ volley ball and boys’ soccer got under way arousing school spirit. Con¬ grats! to the fighting spirit of the girls for succeeding to have the first step taken in making our auditorium into a gym. Meanwhile the sprouting seeds showed signs of a drought with the appearance of October exams on the horizon. However, the seedlings quickly revived as strains of soft music floated over the school at the “Pum’kin Prom,” the first school dance of the year. November and Remembrance Day. The students made a distinguished showing as they marched to King Memorial Church to pay their respects to those fallen in action that we might have a better way of life. H Capt. T. Saunders addressed the student body at this time. As the month advanced the students looked forward to the “Red Cross Ramble,” a dance held in aid of this worthy organiza¬ tion and which proved to be a very success¬ ful event. However, with December just around the corner, the specimens showed signs of shrivelling as they advanced to the time for December exams. But after two weeks of straining and cramming the “long needed” Christmas holidays arrived and the young sprouts regained their vigor. The students resumed their school year full of vim and enthusiasm as the New Year dawned. The month of January proved to be full of many interesting programs. The student body found a talk given by Mr. J. Craven, under the auspices of the I.S.C.F., very informative as well as entertaining. All also appreciated -a number of moving pictures on “Preservation of Canadian For¬ ests” shown to them by Mr. A. Beavin. During the month would-be dancers and non-dancers had the opportunity of receiv¬ ing lessons in the art of “tripping the light fantastic” through the efforts of the Tag-Y and Hi-Y Clubs. These lessons, which proved to be both popular and helpful, con¬ tinued for several weeks. These resulted in having an overwhelming crowd at our third dance, the “Jan Session.” ' February, one of the most outstanding months of L.S.H.S.’s history, included such noted events as an address given by Dean McEwen of the U. of M. on “Red River Settlements,” and a student debate in which ‘les jolies petites filles etaient les vain- queuses’. Toward the end of the month pre¬ parations for the school tea and fair reached their peak and, to add to the excitement, painters and plasterers, with paint and trowel, arrived to renovate the halls and rooms of the school. With Spring in the air and thoughts turning to . . . Easter exams (joke?), the student body once again tried to settle down and prepare for one of the most im¬ portant post mortems of the year. To pre¬ vent any disaster which could have been caused to the budding plants by writing exams in classrooms which had a suffocating smell of paint, grade nine classes were slightly disrupted as grade tens and elevens moved in. However, with the long, tedious task over, books and school work were put away for a week of “recuperation.” Results of the post mortem proved that “many a wreck is caused by an empty train of thought.” • 46
