For all students attending the school, the Maroon and Grey will be a printed record of scholastic, sports, literary and musical activities. Many of the students and staff have put in countless hours of work to produce this record. The students of Lord Selkirk are fortunate to live in a country which provides them with such extensive training in both the curricular and the extra-curricular fields. Canada is considered a young country, but one that is gradually asserting herself in the realm of world affairs. The future development of this vast country gives unlimited opportunity to the youth of today who have the ability and education to contribute to this growth. All the students realize, to a certain extent, that the future of Canada lies not only in the mental power but also in the knowledge and desires of her youth. They all know that the training of their mental ability takes place in school, but do they realize that it is up to them to make the most of this training and apply it to every day life? Or do they feel that they are just passing away time in school, not attempting to assimi¬ late the knowledge they are acquiring? Education is not a matter of touching upon a number of disconnected subjects. Education is a process of developing the mind by teaching it the thoughts, ex¬ periences and ideas of other individuals, times and nations so that it may think for itself and be indepen¬ dent. The thoughts of other men are exceedingly im¬ portant but the development of the student’s own view point has much more value to the student. This opinion can be further developed by a knowledge of a variety of activities such as those presented to the student in school. To help him derive the full value from this development, there are the principal and teachers who are ever-willing to guide him towards the attainment of his future goal in life. The announcement has been made that Mr. Cochrane, who has been our principal at Lord Selkirk for eight years, has been transferred to another school. We would like to take this opportunity, on behalf of the staff and students to thank him for these years of firm and kind leadership, and to wish him every success in his new appointment. 3 R. J. Cochrane Principal F. C. Grusz V ice-Principal FOREWORD S CHOOL is so many things — it is lessons in science and English; it is singing in the opera; it is playing on the school volleyball team or being a member of the room football squad; it is doing homework or forgetting to do it and landing in the principal’s office or in de¬ tention; it is fun at the school dance, or it is t he quiet and oftimes secret glow of satisfaction that comes from a well written essay or the solution of a tricky maths problem. School is a thousand and one different things to as many pupils. Lord Selkirk has had a good year. An increasing number of students has worked hard to achieve success in studies. The student activity programme has had the willing and loyal support of many of the boys and girls. Our teams have won a fair share of champion¬ ships and what is more important, they have gained the respect and goodwill of other schools for their good sportsmanship and “never say die” spirit. Choris¬ ters and thespians alike gave a good account of them¬ selves in the Opera and Play. The tale is but begun. Between these covers students have written the history of another school year at Lord Selkirk. The compilation and production of the Maroon and Grey looms large among the things that Lord Selkirk is to its student body. Almost every girl and boy in High School and a large number in Junior High School have helped in some way to make the “Annual” a success. The Maroon and Grey is more than a catalogue of the year’s activities and events — it is an expression of you yourselves, of the part each has played in the year now drawing to a close. Read your yearbook, cherish it; it will become a treasure in the future. “There are two ways of shedding light; to be The candle or the mirror that reflects it.” Congratulations and best wishes for success and happiness to our graduates.

Today we are about to draw the curtain on the second act, that of the whining school boy, with his satchel and shining morning face, creeping like snail unwillingly to school. The notable poet has dis¬ missed the schoolboy with three lines, but we, the graduates have played out part faithfully for eleven or twelve years and our feelings are deeply hurt by Shakespeare’s brisk disposal of us. Nevertheless, having had the satisfaction of seeing you occupied with our affairs for the last half hour or so, I shall make this Valedictory, which I have the honour and privilege to give, in the least possible time. For us, the graduates, graduation is not only a day of great enjoyment and extra activities but also a day of thought and recollection. At this moment we auto¬ matically take a glance at the years we have passed at Lord Selkirk School, and all of us, no doubt, have a feeling of sorrow and regret at the thought of parting from school friends, staff and students. We must admit that this feeling of sorrow and sadness has been quite unknown to us in our past experience in school life. In the past we greeted any situation which shortened our stay in school, were it a teachers’ meeting, or, we must shamefully admit, some small inconvenience that kept teachers at home and gave us a more easy-going substitute. Now with the time of parting reached, many of us would gladly see our stay at school extended. But we have accomplished our objective. We have, with the help of our principal and teachers to whom we are very thankful, ended, with some measure of success, our school career. A new challenge is now put forth to the graduates of 1954. The challenge to put into full practice those skills, characteristics and principles which we have acquired during our stay at Lord Selkirk School. Our primary purpose in attending school was to gain know¬ ledge in academic subjects which could help us to become successful in those occupations which we may choose to enter. But the skills are not, I am certain, the only advantages that the graduates have gained. Twelve years of continuous association with fellow students have taught us the value of understanding and friendship. Understanding is that quality that would eliminate from our time the fears and suspicions that exist among men and nations. Friendship we must have in order to become pleasant and happy individuals in our society. The bare fact that we could attend a good school is an advantage which we cannot over estimate. I defy you to name a person from Central Europe who is of our age and who has attended school for eleven or twelve consecutive years. The graduates should be thankful to Providence for keeping Canadian soil from becoming a battle field and allowing Canadian youth to develop under such favorable conditions. We are grateful then, that we have been privileged to attend Lord Selkirk School and have received such valued coaching which will guide us farther on the stage of life. We are also greatly indebted to our parents who have so patiently and persistently supported us during this act with the school-boy setting. They have by their labour and examples, shaped our lives; they are our main producers. Let us give tribute to them by bring¬ ing to realization some of the hopes which they have cherished in their hearts for us. We are further grateful for the fine setting and background of our play, namely Canada. In this land of freedom and plenty we may look forward with great hopes and assurance. As the future fills us with hope, so the past should fill us with pride. Or do you believe that Canada has no past of which Canadians can be proud? Five years ago I thought Canada had no heritage. Canada, being in the “New World”, I imagined to be populated by the roaming buffalo, fighting Indians and struggling settlers. In fact, the axe with which I proposed to help build our first log cabin still stands in the cellar — intact. My illusion was shattered after I saw Quebec City and its old forts. My final surprise has been the knowledge we all have gained at school about Canada’s past. We have learned that Canada has indeed a heritage and one we can be proud of. A heritage built for us by such unselfish and patriotic men as Sir John Macdonald, D’Arcy McGee and Sir Wilfrid Laurier. But most important in our precious heritage are those characteristics that have become permanently rooted in the Canadian people. No one on Canadian soil is persecuted for his racial origin or reli¬ gious and political convictions. This toleration we must practice in the future if we wish to pass this legacy of ours to the next generation. Thus with such a fine setting, Canada, such able producers and directors, our parents and teachers, we close the second act of our play hoping to perform our part in the next stage of the “human comedy” with intelligence, dignity, and faith. —Henry Wiebe 19 LUMBER C 0.

Four of the leading roles were played by students from the class, and a number of others either took part in the production itself, or willingly worked behind the scenes.

The practice of whistling while working can boast some enthusiastic advocates, including all seven dwarfs. There are the utilitarian type whistles chiefly employed for calling dogs who are blissfully engrossed in minding their own business. This type of whistle gradually achieves a climax of great volume and pene¬ trating energy which contrasts with its finale — a sudden pianissimo, a few well-chosen words, and a slammed door. There is the whistle at its piercing best from the whistler ensconced on a bicycle seat. There is the offhand whistle which attempts nonchalance, and of course there are the dazzling, inevitable talent-show- whistlers whose specialty is “The Flight-of the Bumble Bee.” However, there is one whistle which, although it can’t be said to contribute much to mankind, for womankind its record isn’t quite so bleak. It could be none other than the provocative wolf whistle. No other sound can convey so much, so conspicuously, and yet with so varied a degree of nuancing and shading. After all, whether one agrees with the general principle be¬ hind the wolf whistle or not, when a man whistles at you, you must at least congratulate him on his impec¬ cable taste. It is the spring, when a young man’s fancy is sup¬ posed to turn from thoughts of the Body by Fisher to the contemplation of the symmetry and design of a somewhat different type construction, that the wolf whistle achieves its greatest piquancy. The invigorat¬ ing spring air seems to lend liveliness and flamboyance to tired whistles. Intimacy is not a quality of the wolf whistle. Rather, the object of the whistle is publicity. Of what use is SPRINGTIME AT SECOND PRIZE SAT UP in bed and hugged my pillow in sheer joy and delight. It was Spring and I was at Grand¬ mother’s — in the pretty green and white bedroom I loved so well! Just outside the fluffy curtains and on through the window pane was an old maple tree. It was WHISTLES beauty if no one notices it? The discriminating woman is well aware, of course, that for the finest in wolf whistles one must go to the French. The fullness of phrasing, the sheer delight in delicacy of tone can be found nowhere else but in the Gallic whistle. The wolf whistle evokes most strikingly the feline elements of a woman’s character. It provokes curiosity. There is the disarmingly naive young thing who knows perfectly well Aunt Hetty’s Law: “Thou shalt not look in the direction from which the whistle comes”, but she turns and smiles sweetly anyhow. There are the coquettes who do not consider themselves well dressed unless they collect a set of wolf whistles on the way to work. And then, of course, there is the strikingly attractive mature woman who hastily assures her in¬ dulgent friends every time she tells the story, “Of course I’m past the age for whistles, but . . .” It is with these thoughts in mind that I leap to the defence of the wolf whistle in the face of the following jibe: “A wolf-whistle in Manchester, England, was found to have come from a gas meter with a mechanical defect. Over here those wolf sounds generally come from gas bags with mental defects.” Obviously, the writer of this cynical, pessimistic comment must have been a frustrated whistler. Un¬ doubtedly his wife has recently enlightened him on the dangers of indiscreet whistles and he is merely taking out his ill temper on those persons still free to appre¬ ciate the symmetry of the feminine form. Let us hope so anyway. After all, in this age when the art of conversation, and above all, the art of the compliment, have been signed over to radio and television, the wolf whistle is one of the few devices remaining for the average man to communicate his appreciation of feminine pulchri- tude - —SHEILA OSTRANDER, XII-12. GRANDMOTHER S as grand and fresh looking as ever, even though it had been there when Grandpa was a small boy. Through the dazzling sunbeams I spied a robin, perched on a green twig. He looked at me as if to say, “Get up sleepy head.” Just for a while I wished I could “grow” tiny and go out and talk to him and let him show me around his little house. I’m sure it would be fun to hop along 27 Springtime At Grandmother’s (Tout ' d.) a slender twig, dance in and out of fresh green leaves on a stout branch or play tag with the merry sunbeams and breezes. It would be exciting to watch Mrs. Robin feed a nest of hungry babies. Then as suddenly as he had come he disappeared, bringing me back to reality with a start. I looked at my watch and was surprised to find it was only shortly after eight. Jumping up, I splashed some cold water on my face and then decided to explore the woods on the east side of the creek. It was a beautiful bright Spring day. My feet moved easily on the soft, winding path surrounded by fresh, green grass with dozens of crocuses and buttercups peeping through. A proud white rooster strutted across my path and in the distance I could hear the tinkle of a cow bell. The sky was a deep blue with an occasional fluffy cloud. I became more excited as I drew nearer the woods. From where I was standing I was surrounded by trees — trees, trees, all fresh and bursting with the joy of Spring. The tall, stately pines held out their branch¬ es laden with millions of sticky needles. The poplar trees’ leaves seemed to be hanging from a slender cord. The slightest breeze made them rustle like a t affeta gown. But of all the trees I could see, I loved the birch trees the best. Peeling a small curl off the beautiful white bark I marveled at its fragility. The Designer had done a most exquisite piece of art. Coming out of the bush, I ran down the small bank which hid the sparkling creek. It was always deeper in Spring. It was such fun to pester the crabs and make them come out from under the rocks. I also loved to sit on a big boulder and hold my hand under the water to watch the silvery minnows nip at my fingers. But I could never manage to catch one. I moved farther downstream to look at the falls. They were so fascinat¬ ing this time of year. The water fell from a distance of about four or five feet and then swirled furiously in and out of the bleached rocks. A big weeping-willow tree made the scene complete. That evening sitting on the veranda, watching the stars come out one by one, I felt sorry for people who lived in a country where they were too busy to enjoy Spring. As twilight melted into darkness and I turned to go inside I could hear in the distance, “Whippoorwill, Whippoorwill!” —SHARON SHUNK, X-4. THE PEACEFUL FOREST THIRD PRIZE EEP in the northern forests of Manitoba a peace¬ ful silence hung over a sleepy section of the dense woods. The tall, stately pines, with their deep green needles looking like spears ready to keep away any disturbance that might intrude upon their heavenly realm, stood out against the clear blue sky above the other trees. Below them, on the rich carpet of dead brown pine needles, played many small bush rabbits. These timid creatures, with their soft brown and gray fur and bobbing tails, felt perfectly safe from their menacing enemies. High above them, swaying in the softly rustling poplar trees, were the forest sentinels, the black crows. These riotous birds kept watch from their towers, and if danger came near, soon let all the tiny creatures below know about it, so they might scurry to safety. Near to the rabbits’ playground, a narrow forest stream scrambled noisily over its stony bed. Shallow rapids caused it to fall and send out showers of clear, rainbow-filled spray over the rocks. Drooping willows with faded colours, like tired old men, hung from the banks over the stream, as if trying to see their re¬ flections in the churning waters. Smooth, rounded stones lay at their roots, having been worn down by the rushing waters and tossed onto the crumbling banks of the stream. Kingfishers, perched in near-by bushes, sat in readiness to swoop down and catch any tiny fish that might be travelling down-stream with the current. During the warmest part of the afternoon, a very slight movement, like a shadow, could be seen through the bushes. A beautiful, nimble-footed doe and her two speckled fawns were coming to the stream for a drink. The doe was a tan-brown colour with large dreamy eyes which kept constant watch over her two small sons. The fawns, like all other young deer, were suitably adapted to their environment, as the many brown and white spots on their sides blended with the dancing shadows of the willows near them. A beauti¬ ful picture was formed as the three dainty creatures stepped to the water’s edge. This movement completed the tranquility of the forest afternoon. —THELMA FONAGER, X-8. THIRD PRIZE: Fish Story _Arlene White, XI-10 HONOURABLE MENTION: Abandoned Farm ____-..Bill Tait, XI-10 28 THE TREE FIRST PRIZE High on a hilltop, stood the tree, Straight, majestic, for all to see, With arms outstretched toward the sky, Silently watching the clouds roll by. The sky in the west grew sullen and grey, And the tall straight trunk began to sway. A strong wind whistled and shrieked aloud, Carrying before it, a huge black cloud. A dagger of light leapt across the sky, To be swallowed up by the clouds on high. A blinding flash, a deafening crash, A torrent of rain, with wind like a lash. The storm was upon it, its fury unleashed, Clouds spewing rain, like a slavering beast. The hurricane force bent the tree back. The tall trunk split with a shattering crack. Battered and tossed by the storm so strong, The poor tree lay; its life was gone. Like many a man in trouble and strife. It could not stand in the storms of life. —DENNIS JOHNSON, XI-10. BABY SITTING SECOND PRIZE “There’s nothing to worry about”, Mrs. Jones said, “The children are quietly sleeping in bed. There’s cake on the table; make coffee or tea; I ' m not quite sure how long we will be”. I had just settled down in an easy chair, When I heard little foot steps on the stair. I turned off the radio and laid down my book, (The children should be sleeping, but I ' d better look.) Four tiny heads peeked round the wall, They were laughing and giggling at nothing at all. They spied the cake, to the kitchen fled, Brought out the butter, jam and bread. Betty was reaching for cups on the shelf, But knocked down the flour all over herself. The boys were covered in strawberry jam And one gav e the dog the Sunday ham. I sent them to bed and cleaned up every bit. Now, who said it was easy to babysit? —JANET HICKS, X-8. THE PINE THIRD PRIZE The tall pine bent in the evening breeze, Then stretched again to the sky. It stood above all the other trees A king, with its crown so high. It held up its branches in proud display For all the world to see. And even the grass, which beneath it lay, Admired its finery. The soft clouds cushioned its lofty head With arms so loving and white, They seemed to give it a restful bed And shelter from the night. The smaller trees looked up with pride At their King, in the dwindling light, And knew that, as long as he stood at their side, All would be safe and right. —LEILA MORTIMER, X-13.

WINNIPEG 31 What You Should Know About Sugar The white sugar of the household is a carbohydrate, an organic compound, containing carbon, hydrogen and oxygen, and in chemistry is called sucrose (CuHssOn). Sucrose occurs in many plants, the most important of which are the sugar cane in the tropics and the sugar beet in temperate Climates. From either cane or beet, sugar can be manufactured in various forms ranging from the finest crystals to tablets and cubes, and re¬ gardless of source is the same chemical compound with equal sweetening properties. Notwithstanding these facts, for years the story has been circulated that the quality of beet sugar is inferior to cane sugar or that cane sugar is sweeter than beet sugar. This story is entirely lacking in fact, since, as said before, white sugar ' from either beet or cane is the same chemical compound. There are also rumors to the effect that beet sugar causes spoil¬ age in preserved foods. Spoilage is caused by bacteria and has nothing to do with either beet or cane sugar. Any canned food, whether unsweetened or sweetened with any sugar, will spoil if proper sterilization methods are not used. It may also be mentioned that since the time of Napoleon, cane sugar has been practically unknown on the European continent where only beet sugar is used for all purposes without any disadvantage as to quality, sweetness or anything else.

At the first meeting in September, the council with Jack Frater as its chair¬ man, chose the students who were to be the heads of the different sports. The Lord Selkirk basketball schedule, both boys’ and girls’, went off well this season, with good sportsmanship and fair play all through the year. Practices were started in the early Fall, the boys at Ink9ter school, the girls mainly at George V school, and carried on through the whole of the scheduled season. Our senior boys’ team took one of its twelve games, sparked through the year by their pride and joy, Jack Frater, the top point getter, followed by Jim Paxton, the jump-shot artist. The boys’ juvenile team, “Downie’s Dibs”, fought hard throughout the season to win their last game by a hard fought score of forty-five to forty-two over their last place companions, Daniel McIntyre. The juvenile team was spurred on by Brian Hampton, the year’s top scorer for the team, followed closely by the team’s six foot four inch gunner, Mervyn Miles. Many thanks are due to Mr. Downie, who organized and coached the teams in his own spare time. For the first time in the history of Lord Selkirk School, the girls entered a basketball team into the Inter-High School league. Much praise is due to Miss Miller who gave so much of her time and effort to coach this team. The team was made up of grade ten girls most of whom had not played the game before. These girls showed fine team spirit and great enthusi¬ asm which they displayed in all their games. The girls lost three out of five by one point. They improved tremendously as they went on in the league, as was shown by their winning their last game against Gordon Bell. Possibly next year we will have a championship senior team. Good luck, girls! The grade ten girls showed their sportsmanship not only in basketball but also in volleyball in which they did a little better. Much praise is due to Miss Harrow, Mr. Bothe and Jack Frater, who gave up many lunch hours and so much time and effort in coaching this team. The girls practised very hard every day. Al¬ though they lost their first game against Kelvin they went on to win the rest and become Winnipeg Junior Girls Champions. Lord Selkirk can be proud of their grade ten girls for their fine team spirit and the enthusiasm displayed in all their games. Let’s hope they can do just as well next year in the senior league. This year was the most successful year in the senior high mixed volleyball. The series was based on team elimination after losing a game. This elimination caused the competition to be much keener than usual ending in a thrilling climax. The winners were Marlene Blaschuk’s crew who played well during the whole league and showed themselves worthy of victory. The runner up was Fred Drewe’s team. The time given and the effort made by Lawrence Lesyk in arranging this tournament is very much appreciated. This year the enthusiasm of the Lord Selkirk student body for the great sport of curling was greater than ever. Mr. Robertson gave up his noon hours to run the teams smoothly throughout the winter months. The Elmwood Curling Club, where the teams curled, wishes to collect funds for an artificial rink next year, to extend the curling season even farther into the spring. Skip Jack Grunsten’s rink including Charlie Johnson, Ray Kullman, and Lome Dunne, won eight games out of nine, to edge out Fred Drewe’s rink, who won seven, tied one, and lost one. Jack’s rink won the Huebert Trophy for 1955. Good going, boys! Keep this spirit up. During the year, the Lord Selkirk senior high school soccer team took two of their scheduled six games. Lawrence Lesyk, the team’s centre forward, netted four goals during the year, while Jack Frater followed closely behind with a two point score. The Lord Selkirk team played each school twice, making a total of six games for the season. Many thanks go to Mr. Crawford for his coaching of the team, and the time that he spent on the boys. Lord Selkirk students viewed one of the best of their bowling tournaments this year. At the end of the season with all wins totalled up, the congratulations go to George Pernsteiner, who won out with his team of four, Joy Kurtz, Steffie Palaniuk, Doris Hutchinson, and Lome Kenyon. The runner-up team was captained by Bill Tait and consisted of the team members, Jack Stewart, Isabelle Llewellyn, Alice Simpson, Marlene Blaschuk. The two teams that entered into the Inter-High roll¬ offs consisted of about ten members apiece. The teams did not win out in the tournament, but came out in good spirits just the same.

COUNCIL ACTIVITIES As I write this, graduation and June examinations are just around the proverbial corner. We have had a full and happy year and those of us who are graduating will not leave our school without mingled emotions. This year, Council’s main project was to provide the cheerleaders with suitable uniforms. This, however, did not mean the neglect of other activities, which were many and varied. The Dance Club was organized again under Miss Harrow’s patient supervision. Stu¬ dents’ Day took place with the Women Teachers’ Volleyball game as a feature attraction. We learned much from this game — how not to play volleyball and how not to act. The awards system was revised and again carried on. Pictures were purchased for the hall as in previous years, and several assemblies were held. All in all, we have had a busy year indeed. The social committee and our social convener merit special praise for the five entertaining dances which were held. Much work a nd planning went into making these dances successful. I think that our student council exemplifies the ulti¬ mate of self-government which a student body is able to achieve when each individual assumes a personal responsibility to the school as a whole. We are especial¬ ly fortunate to have had such an understanding principal and staff. Any appeal that we made was given their careful consideration. It is at this point that I would like to thank Mr. Cochrane, the staff as a whole, and especially our council advisers Miss Thomson and Dr. Lucow for giving us wise counsel when we were in doubt at any time during the year. The success of this year’s Council was due in great measure to them. I would also like to express my appreciation to those students both on and off the council who always proved cooperative and reliable throughout the year. I would now like to wish all the success in the world to next year’s council. I hope that they will have as good a year as we have had. TRUDY COHEN, President 1954-55 SOCIAL ACTIVITIES The hectic social life of Lord Selkirk started off this year on October 20 at the “Hill Billy Shuffle’’. The school crowd turned out in jeans and old clothes to take part in the novelty dances and to enjoy them¬ selves in the best style. The music was supplied by Eaton’s “Band Box”. The winter was welcomed by the second dance, the “Snowball”, on December 3. Though there wasn’t much snow, there were lots of grads attending. The first dance of the new year, the “Jan Jump” was another success. Music was supplied by the “Band Box” again, only this time it was run by two grads now attending the U. of M., Alex Stewart and John Bonnett. After our very successful opera, a party was held in the Tec. Voc. gym for members of the cast and those who helped in the production. Another was held a week later in the Elmwood “Y” building. The auditorium was decked out in shamrocks and green for the “Shamrock Swing” in March. There wasn’t much entertainment this year, but all who attended enjoyed themselves. The final fling before the big grad dance was the “Pussy Willow Prom” held on May 13. A good turn out and entertainment contributed to the success of the finale of the social year at Lord Selkirk. Many thanks go to the Social Committee who proved both capable and dependable in planning and decorat¬ ing for each social function. 42 SENTINEL STAFF First Row: Ellen Kull, Steffie Palaniuk, Irene Ba biuk, Bernice Markowski, Dor¬ othy Kropp, Doris Hutchinson, Lynda Hodge.

Once more has the staff put forth a volume of issues to make, as they say, journalistic history. This year we strove for quality instead of quantity and we think this has been attained but not without the supervision of Miss G. Neithercut—staff adviser and Bob Robbie—Editor- in-chief. In the “Sentinel’s” second year a great deal of imagination and originality brought out many new colorful features and articles. The theme “Inabiggerscope” this year was followed closely and brought about much needed changes. The time-worn “Sentinel” cover was shed and the talented art of Mel Roscoe produced a different and appropria te cover for each issue. The general appearance of editorial matter was improved when set up in broken and ir¬ regular spaced columns. This produced an attractive, nearly authentic newspaper “look”. For the first time in Lord Selkirk’s Journalistic history, the “Sentinel” EHEERLEADERS Left to Right: Elinor Lyne, Janet Hicks, Beverly Winters, Lorna John¬ ston, Myrna Miller. displayed advertisement pages that were not only pleasing to view but also well worth the subscribers’ money. The editor saw fit to stay away from supposedly “informative” news and to turn to general material pleasing to every student level. The great talents of ace reporter Bill Glass, his great sport coverages and humourous stories, fitted well into “Inabiggerscope”. Throughout the year, business and financial affairs were run smoothly by Dennis Johnson while Marvin Sherebrin and Bill Tait ran the publishing and delivery of the newspaper. With money left over from the ad¬ vertising campaign, the “Sentinel” again financed the extra-curricular pin awards. All in all, power-packed editorials, good coverage of school news, witty jokes, scandalous gossip, dis¬ cussions of teen-age problems and feature stories rounded out the unparalleled newspaper volume of ’54-’55. RED ERDSS As usual there was 100% enrollment in the Junior Red Cross from our school this year. Again girls from grades nine to twelve worked in the Red Cross Canteen at Children’s Hospital. Evidence that their work was very much appreciated came in the form of letters from the hospital and an invitation to attend the annual meeting of the Board of Directors of Children’s Hospital. At Christmas a number of classes in both the Junior and Senior High school gave hampers to needy families. Later in the year all classes from grades seven to twelve contributed to a sale of books, comic books, and homemade candy. A group of boys supervised by Dennis Hosfield (10-8) distributed all the posters in this section of the city for the annual Red Cross Campaign. It is expected that there will be another Internation¬ al Junior Red Cross Conference in Sweden this year, and Lord Selkirk hopes that the Manitoba delegates will be fortunate enough to go this year. 43 SENIOR HIGH GLEE ELUB First Row: Marlene Blaschuk, Isabelle Llewellyn, Irene Babiuk, Janet Hicks, Miss M.

As the last strains of our school song faded to the rafters of the King Memorial United Church, the Glee Club felt a swallow stick in their throats. This was the last time we would be seen standing proud and tall before our teacher and friend to sing so joyously our school song that would remain in our hearts forever. The past year has been one to remember. In the Fall when we began our roundelays in vigorous spirit, a pro¬ gram was planned that was one not to be forgotten for the Remembrance Day Service. The girls opened with “Lift Thine Eyes” which brought a tear to many an eye. The boys joined in with their new-found bass voices to harmonize with the girls in the “Crimond”, done according to the melody sung for the Royal Wedding, with Dianne Penner and Elizabeth Zaru¬ sinski singing the descant. Shortly after this program the girls of the Glee Club were asked to come to a practice for a City Hydro Carol Broadcast which would be held just before the Christmas season. One blushing fellow, Ted Starr, was asked to be at every practice to be King Wenceslas on the broadcast. The part of the page was sung by Janet Hicks. After Christmas, the Glee Club was asked to sing at one of the Home and School meetings. The program was along the lines of the Christmas music done on the Hydro broadcast and included some old carol favour¬ ites, such as “O Holy Night” and “Silent Night”. Practices for graduation began in the last week of April after the opera and the Easter exams. Graduation Day dawned with the students making last minute preparations for the banquet and dance. Selections chosen for the Graduation Service were “Non Nobis Domine”, “The Emperor’s Hymn”, and You’H Never Walk Alone”. Bob Robbie sang “God Go Along With You”. The program ended with the singing of the school song.

There is always an air of excitement while casting is going on, and most of us were looking forward either to taking part in the production or at least to seeing it at Tec. Voc. where it was to take place on February 3rd, 4th and 5th in the evening with a matinee on February 2nd. The day for auditions finally arrived and when all the principal parts were allotted and the choruses arranged, the long gruelling practices still lay ahead. It is to the credit of our directors, Miss Marjorie Colpitts and Miss Jessie Harrow, that the operetta turned out to be such a success. There must have been days when they wondered if it was worth all the time and effort being put into it, but a sense of humour on their part and some of the antics of the cast kept things on a fairly even keel and the final results proved quite satisfactory. The operetta was well attended at each performance and the flirtatious antics of the judge, Abe Anhang; the characterizations of the handsome defendant, Bob Rob¬ bie; the exuberant quotations of the lawyer, Ted Starr; the two beauties in the roll of the bride, Elizabeth Zarusinski and Dianne Penner; the gentle warbling of the public and the boisterous decision on the jury all helped to add to the success of the perfo rmances. The members of the cast realized that the success was due not only to the part they played but also to the work of the various committees, such as make-up, stage crews, costumes, ushers, ticket sellers, who all contributed their efforts in any way. Many of us will never again have a chance to take part in a real live stage show or thrill to the mysteries of being backstage. Therefore this is a memory of our school days which will be treasured in our book of souvenirs as the curtain falls on this phase of our lives. 46 DRAMA CAST I Trudy Cohen Dennis Johnson Lorraine Kurtz Heidi Fleming Heather Robertson CAST II Arlene White Jim Sesak Kay Kerr Betty Tait Bev Sinclair “SUNDAY COSTS FIVE PESOS’ T HIS year, with Junior and Senior High students participating, a Drama Club was formed with Mr. Werier as the director. The play “Sunday Costs Five Pesos”, a one-act comedy was chosen for presentation by two casts. This play and the operetta “Trial by Jury” were put on February 2-5 at the Tec.-Voc. School, Cast I performing Friday and Saturday evenings and Cast II performing Thursday evening and Wednesday afternoon. Despite many cases of jitters, all agreed that it had been a great success and was over all too soon. Cast I performed at the Logan Avenue Neighbor¬ hood House where it was received with enthusiasm. A tape recording was taken at this performance and later played back to the performers. Cast I also performed at the Selkirk Mental Hospital February 23. The students enjoyed having Mr. Werier as “the head” of Drama Club and working for him was a plea¬ sure. Considering the talent endowed upon Lord Selkirk students, we expect a good turn-out for the Drama Club of 1956. 47 48 COMPLIMENTS OF MITCHELL ' S GROCERY AND MEATS Your Friendly Solo Store for Value, Service and Quality 839 Talbot Avenue Phone 50-1009 JACK WONG CHINESE HERB SPECIALIST Hundreds of Kinds of Herbs for Mild Stomach Troubles Skin Diseases and many other ailments GIVES QUICK RELIEF Phone or Visit: 50-5893 Est. 1910 234 Johnson Ave. Phone 92-3248 BEN MOSS DIAMOND IMPORTERS Watch Repairing as it Should be Done 422 MAIN STREET WINNIPEG Phone 59-7319 COAL - COKE - BRIQUETTES STOKER MIXTURE Compliments of Armco Drainage Metal Products OF CANADA LIMITED 37 Higgins Ave. Ph. 92-5135 WINNIPEG, MANITOBA For the Smartest Shoes in Town GLADSTONE AND KARR 1354 Main Street Phone 59-3266 SHOE STORES 513 Selkirk Phone 56-2994 49 JUNIOR HIGH SECTION JUNIOR HIGH COUNCIL First Row: Valerie Strike, Judith Bamil- ing, Mickey Westman, Lorraine Kurtz, Gail Hemming, Carol Empey, Betty Tait.

JUNIOR HIGH REVIEW M ANY and varied were the activities of the Junior High council. There were two Christmas Carol services put on by the students in the assembly periods. Plans for more assemblies were cut short by opera practices. A Dance Club was also formed for the grade nines in the assembly periods under the supervision of Miss Harrow. This was attended by a group of enthusiastic students. There was no inter-room hockey this year. Due to bad weather the grade nine soccer was not completed. The inter-room soccer champs of grades seven and eight were rooms twelve and seventeen. The unde¬ feated junior team won the City Championship without much trouble. Much credit is due to Mr. Gostick who gave his time to the boys. In basketball, the team, made up mainly of juniors made a good showing against the senior teams in their divisions. Jack Frater and Mr. Hatcher did a good job in their duties of coach and manager. Turning to volleyball, the senior and intermediate girls made a fine showing before bowing out in the semi-finals. Under the able guidance of Miss Harrow and Miss Miller, the girls enjoyed a fine season. After playing a close schedule in inter-room volleyball, the girls from IX-15, VIII-2 and VII-10 came out on top. This year the room which collected the most points during the year for good citizenship had its name engraved on the Citizenship Shield. The grade eight and nine Social was held at the end of February and was a great success. The enjoyable entertainment was provided by the students. The students hope to have more socials next year. The grade seven picnic which was held at Kildonan Park was enjoyed by all. Some of the girls from the various rooms helped in the Canteen in the Children’s Hospital on Saturdays. A very successful Red Cross Sale was held in May. The proceeds were given to the Red Cross. A collection was taken for the March of Dimes and a substantial amount was raised. The Junior High council donated ten dollars to help pay the way for the student who is going to attend the United Nations Seminar this summer. Students from Junior High put on a successful play along with the opera. “Sunday Costs Five Pesos” was an amusing one-act comedy. The Council meetings were held in room 15 every second Wednesday. The meetings were under the supervision of Miss Ross and Mr. McCrea. A number of committees was formed and all performed their duties well. The Junior High Executive consisted of Jim Mc¬ Intyre, President; Lorraine Kurtz, Vice-President; June Conn, Secretary. All in all, this year has been one of the best in Junior High history. As we go to press, we learn that Mr. Grusz, our vice¬ principal for nine years, is also leaving us this year. His absence will be greatly felt. We wish him every success in his new school. —JIM McINTYRE, President, 1954-55. 50 JUNIOR HIGH SPORTS COUNCIL First Row—Donald Ewaka, Wally Soloway, Jack Kisil, Willie Lewis, Yvonne Paulley, Gerda Stenke, Pat Olson, Dorothy Blom.

Who gathers gossip with lots of pep. The Yearbook, too, has one of us Who attends weekly meetings for us. In sports we bowl and play basketball, And soccer, as well as volley-ball. Opera tickets we’ve tried to sell “One hundred or Bust” was our yell. Altogether we’ve had a really good year, And our hope is now that all pass clear.

We contributed to the Children’s Welfare Agency by collecting toys so that the agency could distribute them to needy families. We gave the Children’s Hos¬ pital a completely furnished doll house to amuse its small patients. Such is life in 8-1.

At Christmas time we had a huge successful party with plenty of food, entertainment and games. We have all enjoyed our year in 7-10 even though the room itself is an odd one because our floor changes color so often from spilt paint, soap, and paper. Besides, our room always has many peculiar perfumes from the various art supplies. Nevertheless, we have managed successfully so far and we all hope to experience such good times and learn even more in grade eight next year.
