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
