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

THE LORD SELKIRK SENTINEL T HE school paper, renamed “THE LORD SELKIRK SENTINEL”, enjoyed the most successful year in Lord Selkirk’s journalistic history. 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.
