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

Bottom Row: Jim McLachlan, Sandra Thorogood, Alec Nichol, Pat Hooper, Bob Enns, Thelma Fonager, Joyce Lally. We have eighteen girls and sixteen boys. We show our sorrows and our joys. 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. Room IX-16 Top Row: Marlene Barry, Jack Stewart, Sharon Shunk, Allan Chitty, Ruth Eyolfson, Allan Pan- nell, Charlotte Stewart, Adrian Okalita, Kathleen Rau, Jack Shew- chuk. Second Row: Ed.

Bottom Row: Ted Starr, Sharon Meek, Bill Wagenko, Phyllis Ritchie, Wally Castello, Joyce Smith. We are the noisy IX-16’s. Always heard and usually seen. 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
