S m L diiqh. foumuL r T ith graduation and June exams nearly upon us, Council’s job is quickly drawing to a close. 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. EMELIA LUNICK 37

SENTINEL STAFF Back Row, L. to R. Dennis Johnson, Ted Starr, Bill Glass, Jack Stewart, Bob Robbie. Front Roiv, L. to R. Georgette Wallace, Jean Leslie, Lorraine Grimshaw, Eva Allan, Joyce Thompson, Miss Neithercut. 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.
