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.

SPDHTS T HE SENIOR High Sports Council worked hard all through the year to organize and run the various high school athletic activities. 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.
