As you must realize, the pub¬ lication of the year book would not have been possible without the co-operation, patience, and hard work of the entire year book staff. The staff, however, has enjoyed working together and is happy if it has been of service to the student body. What of those much used words, co-operation and service? We may have used them loosely in the past, but now we will have occasion to consider their deeper meaning as we go forth to undertake a job or to further our formal education. We have learned that in the suc¬ cessful completion of any school project, thinking of others and mutual understanding are essential. To achieve mutual understanding there must be constant “giving and getting”. It is natural for us to be happy to receive but the spirit of giving and serving must be predominant. Thinking of others . . . helping others . . . is this not the basis of civilization? In an age when hydrogen and atomic bombs threaten to wipe us out completely, we must remember that material possessions do not make up our civilization. The real criterion of a civilized world, as distinct from a barbaric one, is to what extent we are aware of the existence and importance of our neighbours and to what extent our thoughts are directed towards making our world a better place in which to live. As we go forth into this world outside of school, we must not be disillusioned by the fact that many times the spirit of misunderstanding is prevalent in the relationships between individuals as well as in those between nations. We must remember that the failure of the League of Nations was due to too much national thinking rather than inter-national thinking. In place of the League of a past generation we have today, the United Nations Organization, which, as its charter states, is an inter-national organization. The North Atlantic Treaty Organization, in which an attack on any member is considered an attack on all, and the Food and Agriculture Organization, in which sixty-eight countries are enrolled, to name only two of the organiza¬ tions affiliated with the U.N., are examples of present friendly inter-national relationships. The responsibility of maintaining and improving this understanding spirit, is placed on us, the rising generation. The only way in which we may prevent the annihila¬ tion of civilization is by putting into practice those lessons of understanding and willing co-operation lessons learned in school. We cannot readily destroy the animosi¬ ties put into being by the first and second world wars, but we can in our individual lives extend good will to all, regardless of race, color, or creed. Just as a few mole¬ cules bumping against one another set others in motion, so we will perhaps move others who in turn will move still others until all humanity is caught up in the vibra¬ tions against prejudice, misunderstanding, and ir¬ responsibility. We, who are about to enter this confused world thank Mr. Cochrane and the rest of the staff for im¬ pressing upon us the fact that education consists, not only of learning the “three R’s” in school, but also of learning to be responsible international citizens. 3 “We, the peoples of the United Nations, Determined to save succeeding generations From the scourge of war .” R. J. Cochrane Principal F. C. Grusz, Vice-Principal QJIGNS of spring—pussy willows, the first robin and ' an urgent request for the Foreword. A small group of students guided by Miss Bokof- sky and Mr. Thompson are working at feverish pace “to put the Yearbook to bed” as newspaper men would say. This group of students has given spark and leader¬ ship to a multitude of other people in Junior and Senior High School. So many boys and girls attending weekly planning and organization meetings, contributing to art and literary contests, selling advertising, cudgeling brains and spending brawn—each of you has striven to bring this year’s annual to the highest standard ever. Making a year book is an excellent experience for all of you. Will all students who read the “Foreword” pause for a moment over the word “Standard”? One of the intangible but nevertheless very real goals of education is that every boy and girl develop standards of value that will ensure the greatest service to his fellow man and thus the greatest happiness to himself. Daily work that is the very best you can do; all out play in games and sport, giving everything to win but saving grace for a loss; thought, first for your parents, your teachers, your classmates and then for yourself—these are worthy marks at which to shoot. Graduating students, we hope that Lord Selkirk has helped to equip you with a set of standards that will stand you in good stead wherever you may be. Congratulations to the year-book staff. As ever, we are proud that again the Maroon and Grey has attained a very high standard of excellence. Spectemur agendo—Let us be known by our deeds. R. J.

It would distress me to think that my position today was making any of you feel uncomfortable and so I ask you all just to sit back and relax, for I am quite sure that the knocking of my knees won’t be heard beyond the choir members who will probably find the noise most rhythmical. Several days ago, not long after I had been honoured by being asked to address this graduation class, I was sitting in a car at a railway crossing watching a train roll past. The last two of the long line of cars were loaded with freshly-peeled logs which were all marked with a large “X”. I learned that this particular “X” marked logs of superior quality which had been cut on crown land. The sign marked them as the most valuable timber of all. Today our graduating class is not unlike those logs. Our Crown land has been Lord Selkirk School. Just as logs marked with an “X” must have qualities of straight¬ ness, endurance, and strength if they are to build lasting structures, so the graduate must possess worthy qualities if he is to help build a strong and enduring civilization. But first what are the characteristics that will identify us from now on as superior-quality graduates—those who will be constructive forces of most value to our world today. The first and most obvious characteristic of a worthy Lord Selkirk graduate is of course, satisfactory academic achievement. Over a period of eleven or twelve years we have amassed facts, learned skills, and acquired attitudes of understanding. Of these, however, the last feature— attitudes of understanding—is the most important. As Henry Brooks Adams has said, “Nothing in education is so astonishing as the amount of ignorance it accumulates in the form of inert facts.” The application we make of our knowledge will be the measure of our education. To learn facts and skills requires perseverance which is the second trait of a graduate of quality. Without even a good memory, we can recall evenings during which we could have been entertained by circles other than the geometric, or found pleasures in dates apart from those of Canadian history. Yet, with the spectre of examina¬ tions looming ahead, we learned to take pride in sticking at a job until it was done to the best of our ability. Through the sound of t extbooks, homework, and exams, we learned that the easiest way out isn’t necessarily the best. More important even than facts, skills, and persever¬ ance, if we are to be the type of material that will help in the building of a strong and lasting civilization, is the lesson of understanding. Twelve years’ association with people with different backgrounds, thoughts, problems, and ambitions, have afforded us the oppor¬ tunity of leaving Lord Selkirk with a better understand¬ ing for others—an appreciation of the other person’s point of view. Finally, a quality graduate will possess that most im¬ portant trait of cheerfulness. I’m not referring to the student who “Beams” down the hall with that perpetual grin on his face, for one generally finds that such a grin is too broad to have any depth. I speak rather of the cheerfulness arising from that inner satisfaction which results from a genuine interest in people and events. It is the cheerfulness which becomes so much a part of one that it cannot be missed just as the “X” on the logs could not escape notice. We see, then, that at Lord Selkirk we have had the opportunity of becoming superior-quality graduates. We have had the opportunity of acquiring knowledge, per¬ severance, understanding, and cheerfulness, which will enable us to be more useful in building for tomorrow. And if we are going out into the world with these qualities, we have our homes and our school—our class¬ mates, parents, and teachers, to thank. So to our fellow graduates, we offer thanks for the “give and take” of shared experiences which have made up our school life. True—there were those juicy en¬ counters with the firing of oranges at lunch hours and those “Battle of the books” in room four, which inevit¬ ably led to isolation in Mr. Lucow’s “bastille”. But, just as storm-tossed trees acquire hardiness, we, likewise, have become stronger for our conflicts. We are grateful to our classmates for the part they have played in our growth. But, as the graduating class today, our appreciation extends yet further. We would not have reached this milestone in our lives without the interest, direction, and example that we have received from our mothers and fathers, and from every member of the Lord Selkirk staff. The best, and perhaps the only way in which we can express our thanks is by endeavouring to live lives worthy of your expectations. And so, at this momentous turning point in our lives, my own valedictory becomes quite inadequate, and I would borrow the words of William Ernest Henley to say farewell: “What is to come we know not. But we know that what has been was good.” —Beth Waldon 16 ... and Now to the UNIVERSITY High School years have passed quickly. University days will soon be here. If you intend going to College next year, it ' s wise to get some of your books during the summer. The Book Department is owned and operated by the University for the college students of Winnipeg. All textbooks are sold at the very lowest possible prices.

For all in our class seem to be very smart So we figure that each one will pass. We have two boys, each one a sport, One is tall—the other short. The taller plays basketball, the other curls, Still both boys flirt with all the girls. In volleyball we do excel, In singing for the Red Cross, we did quite well. In opera, Glee Club, bowling we could cheer That we did our best through this past year. Our teacher, Miss Neithercut, is a sport, A happy sort, and rather short.

Then falling into the Xmas spirit, we threw a “slam-bang” class party, from which we obtained various necessities for a needy Family. One fact that we can honestly boast about is that each and every member of this class has willingly participated in the extra-curricular activities. (That goes for the boys too).

If the advertising agencies for Lumpo Soap ever con¬ templated that “school girl complexion look”, they might have to make a drastic revision in their advertis¬ ing claims. What girl has not stared deep into the mirror the night before the big prom, only to discover one of “those” things poking out its ugly head? Such was the situation in the life of Eustacia. Her first reaction to this major catastrophe in her social life was to bury the unwanted creature under several layers of pancake make-up. Most unfortunately, after the covering had been applied, she found that she could not open her mouth without cracking her face. Obviously, this method of treatment would have to be abandoned. Frantically, Eustacia began to peruse the magazines for advertisements concerning her drastic condition. During her search, she came upon an outstanding adver¬ tisement which described in a masterpiece of lyrical prose the dreadful occurrences associated with Eustacia’s condition. Your friends would hate to be seen with you. Your social life would end completely, and you might just as well be dead. Fortunately, however, this company put out a cream which would end all your worries and troubles. Besides actually removing all traces of skin blemishes with a miracle ingredient pos¬ sessing “drying qualities”, this cream was also capable of a complete transformation. A studied glance at the Before-and-After picture revealed that this cream had even benefited the girl’s figure. This cream was definitely a “must” for Eustacia. The advertiser had thoughtfully attached a small coupon to the bottom of the page. This coupon would enable you to obtain FREE (upon paying 25c to cover mailing costs) a sample tube of miracle cream. As a further precaution, the cream would be sent to you in a plain wrapper in order to avoid embarrassment. The coupon was cut and in the mail within a matter of seconds. Three months later Eustacia’s sample arrived. She excitedly tore open the large box and searched for the sample. To make up for the absence of his name on the wrapper, the manufacturer had placed his name on half a dozen circulars within the box. At the very bottom of the package, Eustacia discovered the tiny tube of cream. According to the instructions, you had to remove all make-up and then meticulously apply the cream, being careful not to get it in your eyes. After allowing it to remain on your face for an hour, you sponged it off in order to reveal your beautiful new face. The manu¬ facturer had thoughtfully put the cream out in a skin tone. The fact that the skin tone was that of the Ameri¬ can Red Indian did not seem to faze Eustacia’s en¬ thusiasm in any way. Since privacy was obviously highly desirable for this delicate operation, Eustacia drew up an ingenious plan whereby it would be possible to evacuate the house of its occupants for the period of an hour. Upon their departure, she furtively rushed the miracle cream into the bathroom. On her removing the protective cap, the pungent odor of ammonia assailed her nostrils. Only the thought that “a thing of beauty is a joy forever” sustained her. After thoroughly covering her face with cream she discovered that the supply in her sample tube was exhausted. The circular urged the customer to be sure and apply the cream several times before giving up hope. It was immediately apparent that Eustacia would have to go out to obtain some more cream, but by this time the “drying qualities” in the cream had given her face the appearance of a crust of stale bread. She completed her treatment with what little cream she had. Although the circular stated that an hour was sufficient time to make the cure complete, Eustacia decided that if the cream remained on for another hour, it would undoubtedly add that extra “something”. She was halfway through the second hour when she heard Mother coming in at the front. Frantically she bolted the bathroom door, disposed of the equipment, and began to sponge off the cream. It came off easily and quickly and it wasn’t until she was nearing the com¬ pletion of the removal process that she discovered that the cream had also removed her skin with it. She could not possibly let Mother see her like this, but she would have to pass Mother in order to reach her bedroom. Picking up a Kleenex, she held it to her nose in a vain effort to conceal her scarlet face, as she attempted to rush past. At precisely the same moment, Mother looked up to discover what appeared to be a Red Indian descending upon her. Eustacia had anticipated the effect her new beauty would have on the family. The effect on her mother did not exactly live up to her ex¬ pectations. Unhappy explanations followed at the end of which Mother placed Eustacia on a sugarless diet, and instruct¬ ed her that under no condition was she to so much as sip a soda. After suffering this ghastly treatment for several months, the “condition” still showed no signs of retreat¬ ing. Obviously this was no matter for a mere mother to deal with, and a doctor, who was more used to dealing firmly with such situations was called in. Eustacia was then forced to suffer through the use of another kind of soap. None of the treatments seemed to have the desired effect, and with the dogged persistence so characteristic of her, Eustacia gave up. On being left alone, “the condition” immediately cleared up. —Sheila Ostrander, XI-10 23 HOW TO BUDGET A SECOND PRIZE B UDGETS are of national importance. Governments have crumbled because their budgets were not balanced. Our national budget gets great attention at its date of publication. The spending of money by our government is watched by the opposite political parties, and often, in times of elections, the budget b ecomes a major issue. Unfortunately, the matter of budgets is not only a government issue, but individuals must also cope with it. I especially must often face an unbalanced budget, and have therefore worked out a system of spending money, so that in the future I shall not exceed my revenue. My superiors have come to the conclusion that an allowance of two dollars per week is sufficient for a school-boy. Any amount over that quota would lead to such undesirable occupations as playing cards for money, smoking, hanging about soda-bars, and many other “side¬ lines.” Although I have many times assured my bene¬ factors that an additional two dollars would not urge me to enter the “side-lines”, my argument was not con¬ vincing enough to bring about the desired effect. The unsuccessful attempt which I made to increasing my weekly revenue has resulted in a more strict budget. The first thing I did was to list all occupat ions into which my money had disappeared in the past. On my list I had the following: dancing, swimming, movies, billiards, bowling, dating and hunting. As any¬ one can see, such a program could not be carried out SMALL ALLOWABLE with two dollars a week. I therefore decided to do the following: go to the cheapest movies in town, (twenty- five cents) and only once a week. Instead of going to the swimming pool I resolved to have one bath each Mon¬ day. From my mother I received permission to have full sovereignty over the bath-room for two hours, in which time I dissolved a new cake of Health soap, and drowned my sister’s novel “Passion”. Dancing I restricted to school and club dances (thirty-five cents), at which time I could enjoy the company of pretty girls at a fair price (thirty-five cents). Into hunting I put the most money, eighty cents. This rather expensive sport is not always the most enjoyable, but what will one not do to satisfy one’s own desires. This would leave me fifty cents for bowling, ten cents for billiards, and .... as you can see “dating” has no place on my balanced budget. Regardless of my tight budget I sometimes manage to have thirty-five cents at the start of a new week. This I accomplish by sitting on the fence of the Eldorado Drive-In Theatre, or playing a game of “snooker” with, what in professional circles is known as, a “sucker”. Such a person is usually unfamiliar with the game, and you, the professional, lead him to believe that he is good, and has a chance to win, but at a convenient moment you over-power him. As one can see, even a “Small Allowance” can be successfully balanced if a person has self-control and power to see ahead. —Henry Wiebe, XII-18 MY EXPERIENEE THIRD PHIZE I N 1944, on a cold winter night, an alarm was sent all over Poland stating, “Whoever wants to live and not be destroyed by the Russians flee the country as soon as you can.” Having fled Russia in 1942, hoping to find peace in Poland, we realized that we had to flee again in order to save our lives. Fear clutched at our hearts and we tried to stifle back the sobs which were almost choking us. We knew only too well how it would be to walk right into the middle of the war. My mother having all the responsibilities, because my father had been enlisted, tried to be brave and cheer us up. We picked up our suitcases and started on our long unpleasant journey. The horses we had managed to get were of no use to us for they stood stock still without budging an inch no matter what we did. Now as we knew of no other way out but to desert the horses and continue on foot. Planes roared overhead and we threw ourselves flat on the ground so as not to be seen and shot at. Darkness was falling steadily and our weary feet could hardly carry us anymore, when we sighted a house in the distance and made our way toward it begging to be let in; but unfortunately the inhabitants would not be troubled with us. God must have been very near us for if we had been taken in by these people, I would not be in Canada now, for the house was burned down that very night. We realized that unless help came soon we would freeze to death if we were to spend the night outside. As if an answer to our prayers, we were informed that a station was only a lit tle way down the road. Although we were all dead tired we gladly ran towards our only escape. However, the last train going to our destination, was so very crowded that we had to throw away whatever we possessed to be able to board the train. Almost every member of our family was in a different car. Standing on one foot most of the time, and without food or water, we licked the sweat from the window panes only to moisten our dry throats and lips a little. My sister and I being separated from the rest of our family, had nothing to eat or drink for two days. We could only nod to each other, for every movement of the mouth sent an unbearable pain to our black swollen lips and dry throats. My brother being only three and one-half years old was fed by sympathetic soldiers in another part of the train. 24 My Experience (cant ' d) For one horrible night the train just stood at the station, for our enemies had to be fought off before we could cross the bridge. Everyone rejoiced as the train started to move early the next morning. Again I must repeat that our prayers had been answered for as soon as we pulled out of the station a bomb was thrown on the station, destroying everything. After two days of this torture we had reached a small town where we had some relatives. Walking down the road in the stillness of the night with only the roar of the low-flying aeroplanes overhead, weary from fatigue THE GIFT FIRST PRIZE To what purpose, dearest God, Hast Thou put man upon Thy blessed Earth. Cast in Thy image but Without Thy grace, He hath betrayed Thee. Thou hast blessed him With unparalleled wisdom. Thou hast created him Without peer within this fruitful garden. Yet what savage beast would Kill his brother without quarrel? Knowledge hath lessened love Of thee, immortal Creator. Spite, greed, hate, jealousy, intolerance, Crowd forgiveness, love, virtue, modesty, And kindness to obscurity. He hath altered and destroyed Thy blessings to accommodate Himself. No longer doth burning Punishment in hell frighten him. How can hell be a reality When Thou art a myth? God! Show him the way Before Thy beloved Eden Becomes like unto hell itself. —Murray Krovats, XII-18 and lack of food, we reached our aunt ' s house, and were welcomed with open arms. After a few days of rest we all packed up again, our relatives having joined us, to move on foot. Walking all day we were only too glad to be sheltered by kind people when night began to fall. This is how we finally arrived at our destination in Germany in 1945, after one year of travelling. This is one of the minor experiences my family and I, and thousands like us, have had during our long grue¬ some journey towards freedom and peace. —Elvera Loewen, X-12 “PET” SEEfllVn PRIZE You impish fairy!

Grade XI and XII VnlleybaO Club T HIS year, in place of the usual inter¬ school league, the girls of Lord Selkirk Senior High formed two volleyball clubs. One club included girls from grades eleven and twelve, while the other, girls from grade ten. In the grade ten competition five teams competed, each having a captain and seven players. The winners were Marlene Blas- chuk’s team, “The Muscles”, who played well during the whole league and showed themselves worthy of victory. Grade 11 and 12 Volleyball Club Winners Back Row: Miss J. Harrow, Sally Keith, Marg. Vanderhurst, Yvonne Miller, Marina Olson. Front Row: Brenda Taylor, Elinor Lyne, Arlene Burkitt, Judy King. Grade X Volleyball Club T HIS club was also successful in its schedule. The series was packed with interest and excitement. The winner of this league was Arlene Burkitt’s capable team. Conscientious practice and the ability to work smoothly together was the secret of their success. Many thanks go to Miss Harrow who arranged and directed the formation of these clubs, and also to the committees who divided the girls into teams and helped with arrangements and schedules. Grade 10 Volleyball Club Winners Back Row: Miss J. Harrow, Joan Scott, Elvira Loewen, Margot Cusson, Gloria Gardzielik.

Led by their very capable sports captain. Arlene Burkitt, Room 11-11 girls won. Players on the team were: Arlene Burkitt, Marg Vanderhurst, Carol Brailsford, Yvonne Miller, Mardi Fulford and Pat Sinclair. These girls won because of the enthusiasm and sports¬ manship they put into their games. They went on to defeat the champion grade eleven team from St. John’s in an exciting and well played game. Grade XI aod XII Inter-room Soccer T HE boys of grades eleven and twelve experienced a very successful soccer season considering . . . . Competition was keen; hence, the scores of the games were very close. The weatherman was very cooperative; therefore, all the games were played under ideal condi¬ tions. When the rugged schedule was completed, Room XII-18 emerged champions, edging our XI-10 boys by a very slight margin. Room 18 then went on and over¬ powered X-4A to retain the High School Championship. Grade X Inter-room Volleyball T HIS year, as in previous years, the girls of grade ten had an inter-room volleyball schedule. The winners were 10-8’s team “A”, led by their capable sports captain. Pearl Wong. Players on this team were: Pearl Wong, Donna Moore, Myrna Miller, Arleen White, Pat Hamata, Leona Bingham, Audrey Mitchell and Margo Cusson. This team also played the winning grade ten team from St. John’s and although their opponents presented stiff competition, the girls were once more champs. Grade X Inter-room Soccer ' vNCE again this year, the grade tens played for inter- room soccer laurels. And once again Room 10-4A proved to be a little too strong for the other two teams. Apart from this factor, the boys enjoyed themselves and played some good soccer. Room 8 finished in second place behind 10-4A. In the School Championship game Room 4 put up a stout fight but the experienced crew from Room 18 was just too much for them. Lard Selkirk Curling League A S IN previous years the Lord Selkirk Curling League had a very exciting and successful season. The league was composed of ten rinks which played once a week. Alex Stewart’s rink which included Jim Paxton, third, Don Borys, second, and Brian Wright, lead, edged out Bill Lums- den’s team by winning eight out of nine games over Lumsden’s seven out of nine. The winners’ names have been engraved on the cup. The curling is always carried on with enthusiasm, good sportsmanship, and 100% participation. May next year’s curling league have as enjoyable a season as this one. CURLING Back Row; Brian Wright, Mr. Robertson, Don Borys. Front Row: Alex Stewart, Jim Paxton. Seniur High Basketball F OR the first time Lord Selkirk entered a high school basketball team into competition with the other Winnipeg high schools. Much praise is due Mr. Downie who gave so much of his time and effort to coach this team. Practice was started early in the fall and was carried on till the middle of winter when the schedule began. Al¬ though the team failed to win a game, the score was extremely close on a few occa¬ sions. Lord Selkirk can be proud of its team for the fine spirit and enthusiasm it displayed in all of its games. Possibly next year we will have a championship team.

The games were played in the auditorium on Thursdays during the noon hour. Each team challenged the other to try to reach top standing. The final games were played on Thursday, April 1st, and the champions were Arlene Burkitt and Yvonne Miller. Irene Shewchuk and June Fedirchyk took second place. The girls ap¬ preciated Miss Harrow’s kind cooperation. T HIS spring we tried out a new type of volleyball tournament. The series consisted of games played in double elimination. Teams were made up of three girls and three boys from grades nine, ten, eleven and twelve. Mr. Downie put much time and effort into this project, and along with Miss Harrow sacrificed many noon hours to referee these games. The winning team was Jack Frater’s and the runner-up was Judy King’s team. BOWLING SENIOR DIGD BOWLING A NOTHER outstanding bowling year at Lord Selkirk has come and gone. For those who participated, it is now but a memory. Remember when Bill Lumsden’s team, consisting of Ann Dmytriw, Don Borys, Barbara Evanchuk and Joan Pannel, won out by winning eigh¬ teen out of their eighteen games? What a record! Ed DeLaronde, one of Lord Selkirk’s star bowlers, won the high average cup for men for the second time. Ann Dmytriw captured the laurels for the highest average among the girls. For the first time, two bowling teams represented our school in the inter-rhigh bowling roll-offs. Back Row: Ed Delaronde, Bill Lumsden, Don Borys. Front Row: Ann Dmytriw, Joan Pannell.

SENIOR HIGH COUNCIL ACTIVITIES T HERE remains but Graduation and June examina¬ tions before our time runs out. Therefore I would like to take this opportunity to thank Mr. Cochrane and the staff, especially Miss Thomson and Dr. Lucow, whose assistance enabled us to keep the flame of the torch brilliant. Briefly, here are the more significant goals attained by this year’s council. The student handbook was revised. A cut of the school crest was purchased. Plans were drafted for an awards system for extra-curricular activities. A Dance Club was initiated under the super¬ vision of Miss Harrow. Thanks to our vice-president, another successful bowling schedule came to a close. There also was Students’ Day and Graduation. Finally, I extend a well-deserved thanks to Mary Lynne Ryckman and her Social Committee for organiz¬ ing five most enjoyable dances. I appreciate the reliability and perseverance of your council representatives in undertaking these, and many other tasks, and I am grateful for their co-operation. Working together on the council proved an invaluable experience for all concerned. I should like to remind next year’s student body of one point. You, as individuals are very important com¬ ponents of the school. Show a little interest and enthu¬ siasm, use your common sense, and put forth some effort in the student activities. Don’t let the other person do it. Do it yourself and you’ll be surprised at the fun and benefit you will derive from it. As we, the graduates of 1953-54 pass the torch and its challenge to you, the incoming president and council, we wish you every success and encourage you to keep in mind your responsibilities to the school, the student body, and yourself. —Nick Bobey, President 1953-54 SOCIAL T HE SOCIAL LIFE of Lord Selkirk opened with the “Hobo-Hop”. Staff and students alike dug out their old jeans and plaid shirts and flocked out to witness the first dance of the year. Gordon Zarychanski and Mrs. Thacher each won a prize for being the “Hobiest looking Hobo.” In November, the auditorium was a glitter of blue and gold streamers. This was the night of the “Kick-off” following our annual Students’ Day. The effects of being a teacher didn’t seem to show on any of the students as they tripped the light fantastic during the evening. Pen¬ nies were collected to send a telegram to the Blue Bombers and Lynda Hodge was revealed to be Miss “Blue Bloomers.” The first dance of ’54 was the “Curling Capers”. Entertainment was provided by Ron Ross and Elsie Grywinski. The evening included a number of variety dances such as the Broom Dance and several Spot Dances. “March Melodies” was a gala affair Elsie Grywinski displayed her talent by furnishing the entertainment. The highlight of the evening was the “Bunny Hop.” The enthusiastic and reliable Social Committee deserve a great deal of credit for making the dances such a huge success. 38 SENTINEL STAFF Back Row: Jerry Kline, Bob Bonnett, Albert Kennedy, Alex Stewart, Garry Rolston, Barry Smith.

Due to the hard work of the entire staff, the efforts of the editor, Sheila Ostrander, and assistance of Miss Neithercut, “THE SENTINEL” maintained a high standard of journalism. The size of the paper was expanded to comprise fifteen pages and con¬ tents were printed in columns. Many new features were incorporated in the eight issues, including fashion news, hall interviews, grade nine news, two sensational contests, engrossing and unusual articles, the avidly-read gossip, compiled by Mary-Lynne Ryckman, sports news by Jerry Kline, editorials expressing student opinions, fresh humor, and an up-to-the-minute coverage of student activities. A series of highly informative interviews with the teaching staff on the purposes of education was conduc¬ ted by Carol Johnston and Sheila Ostrander. Sketches and cartoons added variety to the lay-out of the pages. The business and production departments of the paper were ably handled by Adlan Barry, Garry Rolston and their assistants. “THE SENTINEL” has attempted to be original, educational, unusual, a source of information and enter¬ tainment. The staff has definitely achieved these objec¬ tives and succeeded in establishing a superior newspaper. “YOUR EDLLEGIATE REPORTER T HE fourth successive season of “Your Collegiate Reporter” has proven once again that high school students can plan, produce, and direct, a radio program¬ me that is all their own. Allan Barry, as Lord Selkirk’s permanent representative, was M.C. of the show for the second year in a row. Features this past year were of great variety, and included: good music, the “Melody of the Moment” from each high school, interesting anecdotes, high school “talent,” interviews, discussions, contests, “Fashion Wise”, “Platter Patter,” “Did You Know,” “In Your Neighborhood,” “On the Lighter Side,” “Around the World,” “Clubhouse Trumps,” as well as the sports and social highlights. Sally Keith was L.S.’s “Melody of the Moment” reporter, an d Elsie Grywinski and Eleanor Lyne were L.S.’s gifted talent. The repre¬ sentatives from all the high schools agree that their term with CKY’s “Collegiate Reporter” has been an un¬ forgettable experience. FLASH! D ID you know that, out of all Manitoba, our school was chosen to select two students for a trip to the Coronation in 1953, and two students to attend the Junior Red Cross Convention in Sweden this summer? The names of the successful candidates were drawn from a hat. For two years fate has been unkind to us but the candidates of ’53, Myrna Wiesner and Bryan Johnston, and candidates of ' 54, Brenda Taylor and Eleanor Lund- man hope that future delegates from our school will have better luck.

Law. Our Senior and Junior High girls have done an admirable job working at the Coffee Corner in Children’s Hospital on Saturdays. Several individual rooms contributed to the Red Cross in such ways as sending a hamper of food to a needy family, singing carols, and delivering books to the Deer Lodge Hospital. A group of students from grades seven, eight, nine, and ten, after presenting a cheque to a group of women at the Blind Institute to help in sewing for the needy blind were taken on a tour and shown how the blind work. A large candy and book sale netted $90.00. This sum was contributed to help build a wing of the new Child¬ ren’s Hospital.

SENIOR GLEE ELUH •TTHE SENIOR GLEE CLUB aroused very keen interest this year, with almost half the student body com¬ peting for membership. By their admirable decorum, the Glee Club set the tone for a meaningful Remembrance Day Service. They sang Walford Davis’ “The Souls of the Righteous,” with obligato by Donna Moore and Margaret Shultz; and “Requiem”, a beautiful setting of Robert Louis Stevenson’s poem. The Graduation music was planned to include un¬ usually fine hymns: Parry’s “Jerusalem” as the pro¬ cessional, “Be Then My Vision”, from the Scottish Psaltery; William Byrd’s three-part canon, “Non Nobis Domine”, “Go Forth with God!” with descant, by Martin Shaw; and a three-part girls’ chorus, “Sweet Day,” by Handel. 40 CAST 11 Miss Baggott Mary-Lynne Ryckman Black Bob, Tom - Murray Krovats Clem, Alfred Henry Wiebe Juliet Brook -Elsie Grywinski Gay Brook - Frank Pisa Rowan .... .

LET ' S MAKE M OPERA A S LORD SELKIRK School’s operetta cast was an alternating body, Cast II players appeared in the school matinee performance, Wednesday, Feb. 17th, and two evening performances, Feb. 18th and the closing night, Feb. 20th. In early rehearsals, both casts rehearsed together, but later separated for practises. This operetta allows for a great number of students participating in an unlimited number of jobs or special roles in the actual production “Let’s Make An Opera” is part play, part opera. The first two acts show in dramatic form how the opera comes into being. The final act presents the opera itself. For the first time Lord Selkirk’s Junior High department had a chance to appear in a Senior High production. These younger ones added colour and humour to “Let’s Make An Opera”, as the composer, Benjamin Britten intended. We, the students owe a great deal to the music and dramatic directors who did a very fine piece of work, to the students who lent their talents to leading roles, to the committees such as stage, lighting, properties, costumes, ushers, ticket sales, complimentary tickets, publicity, programmes, dressing rooms, the business manager, and the treasurer; to the Senior High Chorus who after many grueling rehearsals reached perfection, and who prodded on bashful audience participants. With¬ out these wonderful workers, we could not have achieved the success we enjoyed. The year 1954, will always be remembered as a very successful year. Although we will have many and different memories, we will not forget for some time, the momentous occasion when Lord Selkirk Junior and Senior High, became one, and produced “Let’s Make An Opera.” 41 LORD SELKIRK HOME AND SCHOOL ASSOCIATION WE ARE ALL INTERESTED IN THE EDUCATION OF OUR CHILDREN.

JUNIOR HIGH COUNCIL ACTIVITIES A T INTERVALS of two weeks the elected represen¬ tatives of the Junior High classes met in Room 15. Presided over by their popular president, Brian Mc- •Kinley, and under the guidance of Miss Ross and Mr. Galan, the Junior High Council has been successful. Well planned and organized committees successfully undertook the projects presented to the council. This year’s projects were the grade eight and nine dance, assembly entertainment periods, square dancing classes for grade nine, and a picnic for grade seven. We can truly say that the junior council tried to make this year better than ever. JUNIOR HIGH REVIEW D URING the past year the Junior High Department participated in many sports, of which some were: hockey, volleyball, soccer, and for grade nine, basketball and bowling. In hockey, VII-12, VIII-2 and IX-19 were victorious. Turning to volleyball, IX-6, VIII-3 and VII-15 were winners. All-star games were played in hockey and volleyball, also a few volleyball games of girls vs. boys, although no schedule was drawn up. Basketball was tried for the first time, and the boys did very well. Now we are looking forward to field day. The Citizenship Award System was introduced in October, and was received with great enthusiasm. All rooms tried to behave themselves and do good work in hopes of winning the coveted shield. At the end of the year, the room holding the shield the most times would have its name engraved on it. In the middle of March, the Spring Social was held. Entertainment was provided by the students, and among the highlights of the evening was a “Cake Walk”. A door prize was also awarded, as well as prizes for a Spot Dance and an Elimination Dance. A picnic was held for the grade VII’s which was enjoyed by all. Weekly as¬ semblies were started, but were cut short by opera practices and square dancing. Many girls from grade nine gave their time to help in the canteen at the Children’s Hospital on Saturdays and did a very good job. A candy sale was held to raise funds for a wing in the new Children’s Hospital to be maintained by the Junior Red Cross. All students took part and contributed generously to this worthy cause. A collection was also conducted for the March of Dimes cam paign. For the first time juniors were allowed to work on the paper, “The Lord Selkirk Sentinel”. This work on the school paper has given us an insight into what our senior years will be like. We are looking forward to them. 47 Room IX-19 Top Row: Diane Wood, Brian Rentz, Carole Woodward, David Bubbs, Victoria Tinishen, Eddy Dion, Luba Memka, Bob Armstrong, Shirley Richl, Cliff Brook.

The boys are good at hockey, The girls at volleyball, And when it comes to making noise We are the best of all. But we really don’t do badly Except for bringing books And doing homework. Then we don’t like the teacher’s looks. We have tried twice for the shield And to Room 15 hope not to yield. And now that spring is here We’ll try our best on the field. All in all, it’s been a great year, One we will remember, And we’re looking forward to school Starting next September.

Our teachers always take great pains To teach us kids who have no brains. And then they groan and pull their hair To find our homework rarely there. In between periods we take a rest But the next thing you know We’re the principal’s guest. At two-minutes to nine we creep through the door But we stampede out at five minutes to four. Our teacher is Miss Law and all we can say Is that she’s a good sport And we like her that way. 48 Room IX-15 Top Row: Dave Hiscox, Gladys Currie, Dick Braun, Eva Allan, Harry Wiebe, Joanne Chitty, Jacob Krahn, Dianne Moore, John Kowal¬ ski, Bridie Tinney.

Two of our star singers were in the operetta. Elizabeth played the part of Rowan, Janet the part of Sophie. Jim Partridge was our President. We took part in all school activities—the council, newspaper, year book, sports and assemblies. We helped the Red Cross and collected for the March of Dimes. Many students from our class played in the bowling league. Our annual social was a success. We have tried to get points for citizenship. We have had the shield hanging in our room several times and hope our name will be engraved on it in June. Our pupils are looking forward to meeting again in Grade X.

Two girls helped out at the Children’s Hospital Canteen on Saturdays. A couple of the boys assisted on the school paper. Dianne Penner and Jim Parcher had leads in the Opera. In sports the girls had a Volley-Ball club during the first school term and this was followed by inter-room sports. Both boys and girls have done well. Some mem¬ bers of the class bowled each week, while others were o n the basket-ball team. All in all the class has had a good year.

Our class is considered quite pleasant to work with, according to most of the teachers. This is largely due to our teacher, Mrs. Thacher, who is always trying to encourage our work and good behaviour. This has paid off, for we won the citizenship shield for January. At Christmas we donated books and magazines to Dynever Hospital, Selkirk. We did well in exams, too, having ten honour students. Here’s hoping for complete exemptions in June!

These were sent to the Children’s Hospital Later on in the year we had a sale for the Red Cross. As for studies, we hope for some Merit Certificates and plenty of exemptions in June. We have won the citizenship shield several times. We like our class and our teacher, Mr. McKie, very much, and we do our best to behave well. In the month of December, 7-12 received the shield for citizenship. Our room has many science pictures in it, and we have been having fun in our science classes doing experiments.

There were enough girls interested so that seven teams of equal strength could be organized. Teams 2 and 3, who had both won five out of six games, were leading but in the final game team 2 was defeated by team 3 by a score of 43-42. All teams were very enthusiastic and enjoyed participating in practices as well as in games. Miss Harrow’s help and direction in forming this club is very much ap¬ preciated.

In grade nine, the girls of room six passed their way to the top with all wins, and an all-star team proudly fought against them. The grade eight winners were the room three girls. And last of all. we remember the grade seven girls and their heroic first attempts (good ones too) at volley¬ ball. Room fifteen girls were the winners here. Junior High Basketball The Junior High Basketball schedule began February 4 and finished March 11. Our team made a fine showing by win¬ ning three games in the series, two against King Edward School and one against Machray. Much of the credit goes to Mr. Downie, the coach, and to Mr. Hatcher, the assis¬ tant coach, whose combined efforts put the team in good shape. Lome Dunn, the manager, also deserves to be remember¬ ed for his work on behalf of the team. The enthusiasm and good sportsman¬ ship displayed by the Junior team is something to be proud of.

This different type of operetta had not been produced by any high school in Western Canada. But we did prove to all who doubted that “Let’s Make An Opera” is not only a very enjoyable operetta but also very suitable for high school production. In all there were four performances, staged from Feb. 17-20 inclusive. Two afternoon matinees were held for the children of elementary, junior and high school departments. Cast 1 appeared for three performances, the Tuesday matinee, Wednesday evening and Friday evening. The Junior High Chorus, fifty-four voices al¬ together, accompanied Cast 1 at the matinee and on Wednesday’s opening performance. Opening night is always the climax to the weeks of “rehearsing, rehearsing, and more rehearsing”. But our wonderful success is due not only to the performers but to the students who rushed about selling tickets to relatives and friends. This effort brought rewarding sell-out nights. Contributing also was the Junior High Chorus who helped to lift robust voices in the choral overtures. Thus, the complete company of Cast 1 coupled with student workers did a splendid job in presenting “Let’s Make An Opera” to very satisfied audiences. 58 Mil FOR WINNIPEG’S HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATES You are about to take an important step in deciding on the career that is best suited to your qualifications and ambitions.
