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.

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
