Should she delve into topics like politics and public administrations? Or should she deal with a much- discussed subject—the atom? After detailed consultation with her colleagues, she decided not to choose any of these themes. This message is primarily for the graduates of 1956. We will be confronted with problems much the same as those faced by our parents in previous years. One of the most significant of these problems concerns peace and war. No one need tell us that war is cruel, disastrous, heartbreaking; we know it. But how can we, the gradua¬ ting classes of today, do anything about it? That is an answer to which only we, ourselves, hold the combina¬ tion. Are we going to stumble up the same blind alleys our predecessors took or are we going to avoid those blind alleys by learning from the mistakes they made? Children who defy each other with words such as “I’m stronger than you. You can’t beat me up,” come to blows; our top rank officials seem to be facing important situa¬ tions in much the same manner. They don’t use meaningless words; they repeatedly threaten each other with atomic bombs, hydrogen destruction, or guided missiles, and they can come to more damaging blows. Does this represent the belief that we intend provoking a war because we have confidence in our strength or does this represent fear of an invasion by the other fellow? I suspect it is more the latter! Does the enemy spread propoganda because he believes in his own strength? No! For either side it is fear of the unknown, distrust of our fellow man and imagination running wild. Through this fear, tension increases, till something gives, and you have it—war and death. Canada, for fear of invasion, is building a northern “dew” line capable of a radar-alert in two hours. If it is at all possible to conceive, would it not appear that Russia is building its “dew” line for the same reason— fear, and not aggression? Have we grown up? Will we be able to call ourselves mature if we create fear? It is more than obvious that this method of “protection” will neither bring peace nor prevent war. “What is the solution?” you ask. Let us not give our adversary a reason for fearing us. Let us understand and tolerate; let us love and not hate, and as in the words of the Good Book, let us do unto our neighbour as we would have him do unto us. It is up to us, the graduates of today, to take the age- old burden of world affairs on our shoulders and bear it with care. We might be the ones to decide the fate of mankind. That’s our challenge—let’s accept it. This annual that you hold in your hands is the result of the “headaches” of your yearbook staff. We have tried to maintain a high standard for the readers. Now our job is over and we can sit back to watch results. As far as your editor is concerned, every minute spent on this book was sheer enjoyment. I think I speak for the remainder of the staff as well. Now let the book speak for itself. DI-ANNE PENNER 3 Mr. D. S. McIntyre ( Principal) Mr. E. S. Heys ( Vice-Principal) Jo’mw icL hile the primary purpose of a school is to give every pupil an opportunity to develop his intelli¬ gence to the full extent of its capacity, there is also a secondary purpose, namely to help all pupils to become good citizens in a democratic state. We believe that a goodly portion of this citizenship training is mastered by the solid core of students who complete their assign¬ ments and voluntarily maintain a regular review pro¬ gram. However, Glee Clubs and the Concert, Athletics, Red Cross, Cheer Leading, Social Activities, and Stu¬ dents’ Councils have each a contribution to make to democratic living. In this book are the records of the year’s work in these activities. We did not win many awards but in fail¬ ing to win we always showed ourselves to be good sports, a trait which is at the very basis of democratic citizen¬ ship. You should all read your Year Book thoroughly. If you do we are sure that you will agree with us that it has been a good year at Lord Selkirk. The Year Book is peculiarly a students’ project. As such, we congratulate the staff on a very fine effort. We also express our appreciation for the work, time, and energy that many of you put into the project. Personally we thank you for your invitation to us to write these few words in your book in this our first year with you. D.S. Mc i NTY RE Miss F. A. Baskerville ( Secretary) SHI Mb J.

To H [j Guests, Teachers, and Fellow quote from The Royal Bank of Canada May monthly Students; I must say that it letter, “When the class pf ’55 applies for jobs, the per- was not without mixed emotions that sonnel people will pay special attention to the youth I received the news that I was to who showed evidence in his school and university years deliver the Valedictory Address at of having ability and willingness to accept responsi- the closing of this year’s school term. bility.” The letter went further to say that no industrial Let me pause for a moment to ex- or commercial business can run itself sufficiently without plain.

With the maturing of and twelve, have the responsibility of bidding farewell the mind comes the power of reasoning — deciding to a fine and outstanding school — Lord Selkirk. It is a what is right and what is wrong. Of course we all admit difficult thing to do adequate justice to such an assign- there were times when we pulled off a prank or two ment on behalf of all of you. when we knew it was wrong, but that is part of grow- But on the other hand, if you will allow me to be very ing up. But on the whole we have accepted the challenges personal, I felt that indescribable sensation of- and standards of value which have been set up for us “Oh No! not I!” I could no more prepare and organize here at Lord Selkirk, and will be guided largely by them an address than well here I am today. After as we enter other fields of endeavour. To sum up then: spending valuable time leafing through old year books looking for ideas and inspiration I was getting nowhere. In desperation I decided to think for myself. I endeavoured to force my thinking along very dig¬ nified lines. Hazy thoughts of “freedom” and “democ¬ racy” and “accepting the challenges of the world” turned over in my head, but wasn’t all this talk so foolish when it was so out of our realm of experience? It is so artificial to speak about the world and its affairs when we, at seventeen or eighteen years of age have known so little. Our education is so limited and we have only scratched the surface of worldly knowledge. In reality I believe only in these last two years have we even remotely considered philosophies of life argued over in our Literature periods, or beaten our brains out over really demanding problems — like those in algebra or physics. Ah, the mentioning of algebra and physics rings a familiar bell echoing way back to last fall. Who can forget the significance of September when old friend¬ ships were renewed; new students quickly assessed; two months of gossip avidly digested; followed by a short period of settling down. Then came the excitement of soccer games, and the impressiveness of Remembrance Day, two social whirls flashing by and finally with the chilling winds of December, exams. Who can forget those ghastly exam results followed by the frenzied rush before our major school project — the operetta, the thrill of the success of the production and the satisfaction derived from the tremendous effort? Who will forget our own spirited field day, then Inter- High? Certainly the team effort shown in these activities revealed our students’ ability to work for a school they really “hold high.” Lastly, who could forget the hectic preparations for today’s service and its final significance? Yes, Lord Selkirk has provided us with intellectual stimulation and a rich fund of activities. But has it done anything else? I say it has given ' us far more than mere facts and intellectual challenge. As I said before, we are not in the position to talk about or accept “the chal¬ lenges of the world” but definitely, we have accepted the challenges of school life, which successfully met, fit us for the greater challenges that lie ahead. The first challenge of school life is co-operation. During our years at Lord Selkirk, we have learned to work happily with one another, depending on our relationships with the student body as a whole to produce such school efforts as the year book and the newspaper. The next challenge we found was that of duty, ac¬ cepting responsibility. The many student activity heads have accepted this challenge and have learned the fun¬ damental qualities of leadership. Those students who have worked as committee members have also learned the challenge of co-operation, the challenge of duty — accepting responsibility, and the challenge of worthwhile values met at Lord Selkirk — all these will stand us in good stead in the years ahead. So now we meet here for our last assembly. Today our auditorium is somewhat different. Today as we hear the lesson prepared for us, we realize that we, at Lord Selkirk, have been very fortunate to have had the careful guidance of such a fine teaching staff, a staff who have tirelessly endeavoured to instil in us sufficient knowledge to allow us to go out into the world and be in a position to shoulder whatever responsibilities face us. Was there any time they did not put aside their own problems to help us in academic work? And were not the teachers the first out on the field when athletics were called for? We shamefully admit, that every one of us has “beefed” about homework and “extended” hours after four but I think we all agree it was for our own good. Having benefited from our teachers’ many years of training and experience, we all wish to say a sincere thank you for all the things they have done for us. Then, too, I know you would have me thank the people who are most important to us — our parents. They are proudly assembled to join with us in marking an important moment in our upward climb. Is Mother wondering — “Was it only eleven years ago since I walked Junior to school his first day and he was a little afraid as he stood in the doorway to his first classroom?” Mother was a little afraid too, not only for him but also for herself. But when he came home with a black eye in grade six, she knew Junior was growing up. And today we have finished high school. Today our parents are proud because most of us have fulfilled part of the dream they had for us. Many of them have given us advantages that they had never enjoyed and as there are few times we can show our gratitude to them, for all the things they have done for us, we take this occasion to say simply, “Thank you with all our hearts.” May we prove to our teachers and to our parents we are worthy of the love and devotion they have shown us. All too soon the bell will ring, announcing the end of this assembly. But today it will be different; we won’t be running and pushing each other to get out of the door first. We shall pause for a moment and reflect that wherever the future may lead, we shall always carry with us happy memories of the associations and friend¬ ships formed at Lord Selkirk. And so in the words of Lord Byron: “Farewell! a word that must be and hath been — A sound which makes us linger; — yet — farewell!” —Bob Robbie 19 Compliments of UNITED GRAIN GROWERS LIMITED Compliments of Tallman Gravel Sand Supply Co.

We look forward to just as happy a year next term. 1st Row: Fred Fingler, Phyllis Harvey, June Conn, Betty Lodge, Carol Lums- den, Elinor Blom, Myrna Randall, Ruth Ogren, Helen Dixon, Rosemarie Bender, Lorraine Yallits, Frances Fence, Elin- ore Laudinsky, Wayne Thomson. 2nd Row: Barbara Marshall, Pat Komarnicki, Marlene Allum, Vivian Stockbrocks, Pat Whiklo, Mildred Keough, Lillian Balharry, Heather Rob¬ ertson, Sheila Ellison, Joan Thompson, Norma De Marco, Melita Matthes, Connie Humberger, Dora Grundei. 3rd Row: Arlene Rerick, James Sesak, Cathryne Kerr, Maureen Watkins, Mar¬ lene Jeffery, Mildred Wicklow, Pat Ur- sel, Carol Smook, Carol Lee, Justine Polczer, Rita Hildebrandt, Roberta Jones, Albert Gunn.

We took part in making the “Lord Selkirk Revue” a great success, either in the performance itself, or helping on the committees. Maureen Watkins, Helen Dixon, June Conn, Joan Thompson, and Carol Lee played on the Inter-School grade X volleyball team, and Roberta Jones, Arlene Rerick, and Heather Robertson were on the girls’ basket¬ ball team, all doing their best. Our class officers were Pat Wicklo, Heather Robertson, Betty Lodge, Carol Lee, Myrna Randall, and Frances Fence. Connie Humberger, Pat Ursel and Sheila Ellison re¬ moved the seriousness from our room, replacing it with a mood of good humor.

In fact, the state of the weather is possibly the most bandied about topic in our vocabulary. Whether you have a b oy and a girl in a car on a moonlit night on Passion Peak, or a Russian and an American snarling at each other across a conference table in Siberia, there is one thing that they all have in common to talk about. That topic, my friends, is the weather. It seems that weather as a whole has been going to pot- ever since some corn-ball discovered how to seed clouds with silver iodide to make rain. Now, I have nothing against a farmer brewing up a little moisture to sprinkle his lower forty, but when he succeeds in flooding half the adjoining country-side, then I feel that someone must take action. Every so often one of these young clouds will get loaded and stagger across the landscape, aimlessly shooting off bolts of lightning, dousing picnic parties, or raining out the weather dis¬ cussion on Passion Peak and that, my friends is some¬ thing worse than high treason. The most obvious solution, I suppose, would be to abolish the weather entirely. That is impossible because the population of the world would find nothing to talk about. The next best solution then must be to control the weather. In order to do this a committee would have to tour the country to find out what kind of weather the people would want. I took a poll at our house last night. My mother wanted a cold snap so the car wouldn’t start and she could get Dad started on the basement. My uncle wanted a quick thaw so he could get out of taking his scout troop tobogganing. A farmer friend wanted more snow, to bring on a spring flood, to enable him to collect his flood insurance, which would allow him to loaf all summer. My aunt just wanted the weather to make up its mind because her corns were hurting. A small discussion followed, and after the cops had come and gone no one was speaking. Any committee formed by the government to control the weather would have a great deal of pressure put on it to change the weather in one direction or another. The raincoat and umbrella manufacturers would be asking for rain. The ski makers, skate manufacturers and sled people would be after snow. They would be backed up by the makers of bandaids, splints, plaster casts, and the Medical Association. The manufacturers of bathing suits, straw hats, and excursion companies would want sunlight and warm weather. The Passion Peak Playboys’ Society would want plenty of moonlight and the Man With the Axe would want a tip off on the decision, to enable him to stock up with the appropriate merchan¬ dise. One can readily see that if anyone did try changing the weather he would likely start another war over how it should be changed. My advice is, “Leave it alone.” Without weather our favorite topic of conversation would be gone. Aunt Bessie couldn’t complain about her corns, grandfather would not be able to test his arthritis against the weather forecast. Besides that, without the weather as a topic of conversation what would the young people do to amuse themselves on the top of Passion Peak? BY BILL GLASS Ouh (BocUidinq dimiM S c njd In the small town of Lachute, situated in the foot-hills of Quebec, is our boarding house. The house is off from the main highways and traffic noises. In front of the house is the peaceful North River. In the back are the Laurentian Foot-hills. We are located in French Settlement, which is a suburb of Lachute. In our boarding house we call ourselves a family. We eat our breakfast and supper together. Everyone is different but we all have some things in common. One thing we have in common is the “house,” and also the monthly rent. Another is the dog “Wiggins.” We remain together as a family through troubles and joys. Each morning one is awakened from a peaceful sleep by the surfeit voice of our landlady. Her voice is husky to that fascinating point just short of asthma. When she calls, all are awakened from their sleep whether they wished to be or not. Well, so much for the solitary bliss of our home. The food, although fine in quality, is short in quantity. The landlady believes in the old proverb, “that a penny saved is a penny earned.” She buys a roast for Sunday; we have cold roast and mashed potatoes Monday, hash and beans on Tuesday, stew and dumplings on Wednes¬ day, and if anything remains of the waste, it is given to the dog on Thursday. For Friday and Saturday we have hamburger served in four different ways, for four different meals and for the sake of saving. But along with the roast and hamburger there are also many different desserts such as bread and jam, jam and bread, jam, butter, and bread and bread and molasses. When 25 saying the food was short in quantity, I meant, how can a nine pound roast, one can of beans and five pounds of hamburger be expected to feed seven people, for seven days and eleven meals. Well, so much for the food and its qualities. In introducing the boarders, whom I am associated with, I say, “Any resemblance, from this point on, to persons living or otherwise, is purely unintentional and coincidental.” First, for sake of duty, I introduce to you Mrs. Natosa Smith, our landlady. Mrs. Smith, who cannot get over the fact that she is no longer twenty-seven, is a rather pompous woman, nearly six feet tall and nearing the sweet, uncontrollable age of fifty. She can hardly wait to hear what she is going to say, and when she has said it she usually says, “Oh, I didn’t mean to say that.” She joytalks her way into every conversation, and then she lets her mind go blank while she talks about things that leave her speechless. Next to the landlady is her niece Arlene Smith, or the beautiful blonde bombshell. She is fifteen and lives with her aunt. She is blonde and entirely too young to be entrusted with such a dangerously provocative figure. She is forever trying new make-up and hair styles in order to make herself more “desirable”. She does things for her appearance for which car dealers would go to jail. Then there is the high-school physics teacher, who is always trying to find a new type of gunpowder or invent¬ ing new and louder firecrackers in the basement. Such as he are few and wide apart in the brains. He is nearing his fortieth year and as it has been said, “Life doesn’t (Jkhfiia Jhihjd On the southern extremity of Vancouver Island lies one of the most enchanting cities in the world. Sur¬ rounded by mighty fir trees and towering mountains, Victoria is truly a rare and picturesque sight. From her hiding place between the snow-capped mountains this small but friendly city seems to cry out to tourists to come to her refuge. Nestled between the sky-reaching mountains she is sheltered from the howling winds and roaring seas. It has been said that good things come in small packages and Victoria certainly proves this state¬ ment. She is beauty, enchantment and excitement all rolled into one; mystery and magic combined; every¬ thing a city could possibly be. Historical Thunderbird Park, which is situated in the centre of town, has many replicas of Indian totem poles. Directly opposite the scenic harbour lies Beacon Hill Park which is dotted with tiny duck ponds and flower gardens. Stately trees line the park’s paths lending an air of rich grandeur to the surroundings. Tiny thatched roofed cottages are located in the residential areas. With their old world simplicity they provide a typical English atmosphere. Along the main thoroughfare fragrant flower baskets hang from the lamp posts making an un¬ usual but breathtaking scene. From benches along the harbour, tourists spend idle moments watching huge ocean liners making their way to docks. Evening on¬ lookers are attracted to the downtown Parliament build¬ ings by the splendid array of lights. begin at forty for those who went like sixty when they were twenty.” He also is the owner of a sparkling nine¬ teen hundred and thirty-six Essex, and he knows that the surest way to kindle a blaze is by rubbing two fenders together. He has had more accidents and stalled more traffic than any other driver in town. Next, is Mrs. Abercrombie, who has learned many of our landlady’s ways. Her husband also lives with us, but is seldom seen and not very courteous. His downfall was glasses. Glasses can change one’s personality, especi¬ ally if emptied too often. She still seems to love him, in spite of his faults. They were married for better or for worse. He couldn’t do better and she couldn’t do worse. Due to her home life, Mrs. Abercrombie “has a very low bowling point,” according to the teacher. I think the next person you should meet is my best friend in the house, John Peters. John, like the rest, has many funny faults. He has a feeling now and then that he should raise garter snakes. He brings a litter of the creatures into his room and later suffers the torture from the loquacious Mrs. Smith. The last of the seven boarders is myself. I have some points worth mentioning, but being smarter than ex¬ pected, I regard silence as a virtue as of now. You now know what to expect, when coming to a small French-Canadian town: no sleep, food—let’s leave it at that, many different types of boarders and always one, such as myself, a little smarter than the others. BY JACK STEWART lBmJuma Approximately thirty miles from the heart of the city one can find the world-famous Butchart Gardens. Acres and acres of undescribable beauty promise the tourist hours of enjoyment. There are four gardens, namely, the Rose, the Italian, the Japanese, and the Sunken Gardens. This fairy-land of flowers, which is night-lighted, allows one to spend many evening hours in the utmost pleasure. F or one dollar admission you receive one thousand thrills in Mrs. Butchart’s enchanting wonderland. Hundred’s of tiny lakes dot the countryside providing hours of recreation for the sports minded person. Water skiing, swimming, salt water fishing and speed-boating are only a few of the very popular water sports. Each year hundred’s of people visit the beautiful city. It is no wonder, for Victoria, with all its panoramic views is truly the most charming city in the world. A single trip to the province’s capital will convince one, that there is no better place to spend a holiday than amidst the awesome splendour of Victoria, British Columbia.

S P 0 The grade X volleyball team was terrific this year. Many thanks are due to Mrs. B. Davis, and Lorraine Grimshaw (coach). The team played excellent games during the season till it reached the finals and placed second in the city championship. The girls unfortunately lost to Kelvin by a short margin but they show great promise for a winning team next year. The grade XI girls’ volleyball team played with fervor but the going got too difficult and they buckled under to lose the city championship. The encouragement given by Mrs. Davis and the coach, John Nicol was very much appreciated by the team. In the mixed volleyball series, Ray Kullman’s team won out over Pernsteiner’s team in the final “death” game in the gym one late noon hour. The Senior High basketball team under the supervision of Wally Holowka began very well with after four practises Mondays at George V and Wednesdays at David Thompson. There were no wins though we played with our heart in the game. A new sports activity this year was the mixed badmin¬ ton club under the direction of Miss D. Hall. Altogether, five tegms played, rotating team members. This was an unforgettable experience. The winning bowling team this year was composed of Audrey Mitchell, Pearl Wong, Fred Drewe, Lorraine Kurtz and Marlene Granda. Top girl bowler was Joy Kurtz who rolled a neat 168 average. The “speed-ball artist” in the men’s lineup was Fred Drewe who threw an average of 213. —ROSEANNE PRYDEN 4 i rrfr SENIOR HIGH JUVENILE BASKETBALL Top Row, left to right: Bill Glass, Ken Douglas, Brian Wright, Bob Welsh, Ted Starr, Ron Jones, Dennis Johnson, Mr. D.

The Senior High team played four games, winning one and losing three. Wally Holowka was the top man on their team. The Junior High team ' played three games and won one. Clarke Peterman appeared ' the best player on this squad. In curling this past year we had a most successful season, thanks to Mr. H. Robertson, who worked most energetically for the boys. The rink of Jack Grunsten, Skip, Ken Poole, Third, Bill Balharry, Second, and Don Harrison, Lead, won the series. Congratulations, Jack. Basketball in L.S. really flourished this year with Mr. Downie’s Senior High Senior team winning two games this year. Wayne Bush, Wally Holowka and Brian Hamp¬ ton were outstanding players for the team throughout the year. Although they didn’t win a game, the Juvenile squad came close and tried hard all year. Bob Welch was the big center who played well all year and supplied the spark for the other boys on the team. The Junior High Senior team, coached by Mr. Packota, failed to win a game, but tried their best all season. Better luck next year, boys. When field day was coming up, everybody turned to practising in his favorite events. L.S. was determined to give it all it had in this event and intended to be a challenging competitor for the top honours. See the 1957 issue of “Maroon and Grey” for the final outcome. —PETER CARNEGIE CURLING Don Harrison, Bill Balharry, Ken Poole, Jack Grunsten.

We have had a good year due to co-operative and relia¬ ble members. Council has been very busy. Some of the most prominent achievements of the year will now be indicated. This year, Council gave $20.00 towards uniforms for the new cheerleaders. Students’ Day was a success with the main attraction again being the women teachers’ volleyball team. The sale of rings and pins has been out¬ standing. The framing of pictures for the hall was done as in previous years. Council arranged Students’ First Row, L. to R.: Mr. Maguire, Arlene White, Barry Smith, Marvin Field, Arlene Lower, Mr. Park. Second Row, L. to R. : Marlene Jeffery, Heather Robertson, Jane Cheslock, Sonja Warenko, Lorraine Kurtz, Eva Allan, Leona Bingham. Last Row, L. to R.: Bob Robbie, Ray Kullman, Jim McIntyre, Don Harrison, Jack Stewart. Cards for the dances and the School Constitution was revised. As you can see our activities have been many and varied. We would like to extend well-deserved thanks to the members of the Social Committee and their capable convener. The dances have been a great success. We would also like to thank the sports committee for all the extra activities they made possible this year. Council believes that much of its success should be credited to our principal, Mr. McIntyre, and to our staff advisors, Mr. Park and Mr. Maguire, whose help has been greatly appreciated. We would also like to thank the staff and the students for their co-operation during the year. On behalf of the Council I would now like to wish next year’s President and Council all the success possible. I hope their year will be as good as ours was. ARLENE LOWER Secretary SoriaL OxJwiiisA, he first Lord Selkirk dance, “The Fall Frolic, got M underway on October 20. There was a record- breaking turn-out of students and grads, who enjoyed the novelty dances and selection of records. Although the December weather was well below zero, many students turned out for the “Basketball Bounce.” This was the night following a hectic Students’ Day. The evening was enlivened by a cheerleader per¬ formance consisting of the school yells. This was some¬ thing new and different for our Lord Selkirk dances. The new year started off right by a huge turn-out for the first dance of the year, the “Winter Waltz.” March was bitter cold, but all who attended the “Shamrock Shuffle” will remember it as one of the hottest dances Lord Selkirk has ever held. The auditor¬ ium was gaily decked in everything from shamrocks and top hats, to snowflakes. The final dance before the much-talked-about grad affair, was on May 5, when students turned out in shirts and worn-out jeans. To minimize the number of outsiders attending the Lord Selkirk dances, a new system, which might be called the “Smith System,” got underway. Each student was issued a membership card which had to be shown upon entering the building, with or without one friend. The night proved to be a great success. Bouquets are in order for the Social Committee who have never failed to decorate the auditorium brightly before each dance, especially the grad dance.

SswiimL Once again the Lord Selkirk Sentinel has come through a banner year, living up to the journalistic traditions set by its predecessors of past years. The paper started off weeks behind the other school enterprises, due to the reluctance of everyone to assume the role of editor. It was in late October that I, Bill Glass, assumed the position of editor. I started off, with nothing but a stapler, a locker full of assorted junk and the unused aspirins left by the last editor. In short order I surrounded myself with a stout¬ hearted staff of ten students and eight typists. Under the guiding hand of Miss G. Neithercut, our able staff advisor, we plunged into the business of pro¬ ducing the paper. Bob Robbie, our business manager, handled the subscriptions which cost 25c a year for each student. This money, together with our bank balance of $140.00, gave us a sound financial standing to operate on. The actual production was carried out with the help of Georgette Wallace, assistant editor who handled the typists, and Jack Stewart the circulation manager. The Sentinel was very fortunate to have Mel Roscoe, who designed a new and distinctive cover for each issue. Jean Leslie handled special write-ups on such events as the school production and the Inter-Hi Variety Concert, and yet still found time to carry on our popular Hall Interviews. Joyce Thompson edited the ever popular gossip column, keeping the students informed about the latest going on among the students. This year, a new feature, Hi-School Hi-Lites, was introduced by Lorraine Grimshaw. This column kept us informed of what was happening in the other High Schools of Win¬ nipeg and Suburbs. Credit must be given also to the school secretaries Miss Baskerville and Mrs. Melrose, who did a wonderful service in enabling us to get the paper printed. Our beloved principal deserves credit too. for allowing the overnight storage of the paper, pending distribution. Doubtless he enjoyed a first-hand peek at the paper though. The Sentinel has had a good year, and I, as editor, hope that those of you who subscribed to the paper enjoyed it as much as I enjoyed running it. On behalf of the entire staff may I extend best wishes to all the graduates of ’56! BILL GLASS (Editor) The entire Hignell Printing Stall extend congratulations to the 1955-56 Graduates. M av you tak e with you that spirit ol co-operation which it has been our pleasure to experience in the production of th is Year Book. HIGNELL PRINTING LIMITED 488 BURNELL STREET, WINNIPEG, MANITOBA PRINTERS LITHOGRAPHERS • ARTISTS • DESIGNERS 38 The Senior High Glee Club, under the direction of our vivacious music teacher, Miss Colpitts, accomplished much t his year. On November 11, the meaningful way in which the Glee Club sang the hymns brought back memories to many. After Christmas, steady practice began for the Glee Club’s part in the School production, Lord Selkirk Drama and Musical Revue.” They produced “Macon- nachy Square,” which came as the climax of the evening. The scene was previous to a wedding, followed through with the ceremony, and then the rollicking entertain¬ ment on the square. Participants in this entertainment included: Betty Tait—Scotch dances, Phyllis Ritchie and Pearl Wong—tap dancers, Arlene Tipping—Charleston, and members of the Jr. High Glee Club—square dances and Scotch songs. ’fyl SL flidb Back Rmv, L. to R.

As the curtain fell there was many a tear in the eyes of the cast for whom this would be the last time they would perform with this Glee Club. In May, they took their production to the Princess Elizabeth Hospital, where it was much appreciated. The Senior High Glee Club left their mark on the Lord Selkirk staff and students by singing their very best at the Graduation Service on June 8th. —BY THELMA FONAGER QollcqicdjL Coming into student life after a year’s absence and adding to the long list of extracurricular activities for students, was a weekly radio program called “The Collegiate Reporter.” This programme broadcast over CKY every Sunday at 5 p.m., was designed for the students of the Senior High Schools of Winnipeg and the Suburbs. Two students, preferably a girl and a boy represented their school by gathering social, sports news, and other items of interest combined with hit parade music. Jack Wells, the M. C., helped us put the show on the air with few errors. Your representatives from Lord Selkirk were Dave Purvis and Di-Anne Penner. T he programme will be back next year, so keep on your toes for the date of the first broadcast. —DAVE PURVIS QiuiiiA. RslcL Qiwaa. CbdUviiuiA, President _ .. ___ Leona Bingham Vice-President ___Bill Lee Secretary-Treasurer _ _Janet Hicks For the first time at Lord Selkirk, a Junior Red Cross Council was formed in which the representatives from each room took part in all activities. Mrs. Wilson advised us on many matters pertaining to these activities; Projects carried out were: The International Art Display held in the school. An Art Display from Lord Selkirk was sent to the Manitoba Headquarters for distribution throughout the world. Health Kits were made by students of each room and 78 were sent to the Red Cross. Christmas Hampers for five needy families. The cheerleaders appeared on T.V. on behalf of the Junior Red Cross Inter-High Council’s Blood Donor Drive. The performance of our cheerleaders greatly aided the drive. Several students distributed Senior Red Cross ad¬ vertising posters. Used postage stamps were sent into headquarters. Forty-five girls worked at the .Coffee Corner in the Children’s Hospital during the year. Seven students helped with the Hydro Therapy treatments at Chippawa. Two students from the Senior High will be picked to attend the Junior Red Cross Study Center to be held at the University of Manitoba in August. These students will have part of their way paid by the Junior Red Cross in Lord Selkirk. —BY LEONA BINGHAM AND JANET HICKS 39 COMPLIMENTS OF MITCHELL ' S GROCERY AND MEATS Your Friendly Solo Store for Value, Service and Quality 839 Talbot Avenue Phone 50-1891 FOR A BUSINESS TRAINING Phone 92-8518 Day or Evening Classes • Typewriting • Comptometer • Shorthand • Bookkeeping All Commercial Subjects HIGH SCHOOL (Grades 8 to 12) Day School and Night School May Be Combined with Business Subjects Individual Instruction — ENROLL NOW!

Toew’s room, who was also in charge, was well received. The Grade VI girls, under the direction of Miss A. Wach and Mr. B. Bilash, did a Ukrainian Dance called “Hopak Kolom.” The tumbling consisted of a number of assorted rolls, dives, handsprings, head stands, shoulder stands and cartwheels as well as other complicated routines. There were ten performers in all, direct¬ ed by Mr. D. Downie. The Junior High boys, with Mr. A. McCrea as instructor, did their best at building pyramids. The reaction of the audience proved that the hard work was worth the effort. Approximately twenty-five Junior and Senior High students, under the direction of Mr. G. Werier and Miss J.

Both Junior and Senior High students participated with singing and dancing. It centered around a Scottish wedding, with Elizabeth Zarusinski as the bride, and Bob Robbie as the groom. All our thanks to Miss M. Colpitts, Mrs. B. Davis and Miss A. Thompson for their patience and hard work in making it an enjoyable show to look at and to be in.

But, The Red and the Assiniboine Flow through in curves and coils And so you built at their dictate Some streets that are not straight. The stores are large in Winnipeg. At Eaton’s and the Bay, They tempt the opening special If you’re early in the day. But, You spend your money easily Because they so arrange it That if you don’t like what you buy You take it back and change it. The girls are smart in Winnipeg From eighteen years to eighty, Their dresses, gloves and shoes all match. Their hats are small and nifty With feather curled or flower or jewel. But, The teenagers in tunics short And parkas black or brilliant And piles of books held up in front, Are nothing short of cruel. The kids are cute in Winnipeg, And friendly with their teachers. They greet them cheerfully with, “Hi.” And look like furry creatures or Eskimos. But summer comes And then you see their features. The music is good in Wpg., The festival is amazing. And for High School Operetta I should think no place is better. But- I found it quite embarrassing That every comic character Was modelled on Glen Harrison. The folk are kind in Wpg., They’ve treated us right royally, Especially the School Board In letting us off oi’lly. So thank you for your kindness In putting up with me. I ' m sure I’ve been a nuisance And you help me patiently With filling in pink slips and such And all that I can say now Is, “Thank You All So Much.” —Belle Farrell This poem was written by an exchange teacher who was with us two years ago and until now it was mis¬ placed.
