JUNIOR HIGH—19 2-53 IN REVIEYk For the Junior High of Lord Selkirk, 1952-53 has been a full year, and we have been successful in many of the projects we undertook for the first time. We have done very well in volunteer community work. Under the able supervision of Miss Law, some of the Grade 9 girls did Canteen work at the Children’s Hospital for the first time, and can praised for their efficiency and diligence. A group of girls and boys from tile four Grade 9 rooms - 19, 16, 15, and lit, went carolling dur¬ ing the Christmas holidays and raised a substantial sum. This money went to buy plastic helps for a blind teacher who instructs a class of blind children. Our veterans were not forgotten by the Junior High this year, either. Room 9-lk collected books and money from which they bought cigarettes etc., for the veterans at Deer Lodge Hospital. Room 7-l5 carried on their usual practice of collecting books and taking them out to the veterans’ hospitals. The Junior High also did its share in school-wide charity campaigns, especially the Help the Korean Children fund. To Room 9-15 must go credit for organizing this campaign. There were also many successful room sales tnis year for the Red Cross. Under the leadership of Mrs. Thacher and Mr. Harrison as conductor, a group of Junior High choirs participated in many events. With Mr. Harrison a s conductor, a group of Junior High girls sang on a children ' s radio program on radio station C.B.W, Under the supervision of Mrs. Thacher at Christmas time, the girls of Grade 9 sang like angels at the Church service. Both Mrs. Thacher and Mr. Harrison entered choirs in the Festival this year, and ail did extremely well. The Grade 8 ' s and 9’s held tneir annual social on March 20th this year, the affair being a big success. The Grade 7 ' s usually hold their picnic in Kildonan Park. No doubt they will have fun. This year, for the first time, a Junior High paper was published. It was a long hard pull with a lot or work attached, but it was worth it, for ' the paper was a terrific accomplishment. We had a lot of fun this year in Junior High, and we nope that next year we will be even more successful in all fields of endeavour.

Class 7-12 As a class, 7-12 behaves fairly well. Individually, however, we are not so well behaved. There are 33 of us, 20 girls and 13 boys. We have won for ourselves the title, The Champs , for having the highest medium in the whole of grade seven. 7-15 was very close to us. We hope that at Easter we will be able to keep our title. In sports, however, we were not so successful. The boys gained no distinction whatever in the inter-room football games, and they lost their only hockey game. The girls saved us from total disgrace, fortunately, by winning most of their volley ball games. Our teacher ' s name is Mr. McKie. We all like him, and we wish that we could have him for our teacher next year. Now you know both our good and our bad sides. On the whole, we think we are a fair outfit. We have done our best in school activities, and we hope to continue to do so in the future. Class 7-13 Class 7-13 is quite a class, or rather, we think so. We have fourteen girls and eighteen boys. Our class officers are; President-Murray Mainland Vice-President-Barbara Rau Secretary-Dick Green Red Cross Representative-Jim Lofendale Red Cross Secretary-Justine Polczer These pupils handle our class affairs very efficiently. Last November we had a Red Cross sale and we handed in some money for the Crippled Children ' s Fund. Part of the money also went to another fund. The boys won the Inter-Room Midget Soccer Championship. They are very proud of this, and we hope that they will win many more championships. Our class can be quite a class if we try, so 7-13 , try and try and try. Let ' s go to the top. Class 7-15 Whenever any school activity comes along, you can count on Class 7-15 to support it to the best of their ability. We are the super-salesmen of Bldg. 1, when it comes to ticket selling, as we were tops for both the Hom e and School and our own School Tea. We also contributed generously to the White Elephant, Fish Pond, Home Cooking and Candy Booths. Early last term we started collecting good magazines and pocket books for hospitalized veterans. We were able to send two boxes of these, in first class condition, to Deer Lodge Hospital. 7-15 girls are the proud winners of the Grade 7 volley-ball pennant —our boys didn ' t gain any championships, but the hockey and soccer teams put up a good fight- better luck next time, boys. Our studies? Well, we hope for some Merit Certificates and plenty of exemptions in June. -I BBttBBBHS- Peter— I want a collar for my Pa. Woman: Clerk— One like mine, son?
