Some students will shout joyously and run out into the glorious sunlight, thrilled with the aspect of a long holiday. These aie the students who have just experienced their first year at Miles Mac. They will be returning next year; others will not. For many of us this is our last year at Miles Mac. We do not see the holiday ahead; we only see the year that has slipped by — a year of increasing turmoil in our modern world _ a year which saw the blossoming of France into an atomic power — and a year which saw the breakdown of the summit talks in Paris. It was a year that we spent at Miles Mac. It was a year that we shall remember in the years to come. The purpose of the ‘ MACADONIAN” is to help you remember. We believe that we have compiled this book to the best of our ability, and we are proud to present it to you. Whether your interest lies in sport, social activities, science, art, or our variety concert, you will find it in this book. For those who open the “MACADONIAN” just to look for errors, I am sure that you will find them too, because there is something for everyone in this book. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the members of the teach¬ ing staff for their cooperation, and also all those students who contributed in any way, because they helped to make this book a successful venture. In concluding, I would like to extend my very best wishes to this year’s graduating class, and the hope that their future will prove most successful. —Larry Whitney 3 PRINCIPAL ' S MESSAGE Last year Miles Macdonell Collegiate became part of the new School Division of River East. This coming school year our School Board is having an addition built to Miles Macdonell which will give twenty - five classrooms, Home Economic rooms, Electrical and Drafting rooms as well as a combined auditorium and gymnasium. We are living in a period of rapid expansion. With expansion comes greater opportunities for jobs, positions and profes¬ sions. These greater opportunities are available to those who are prepared by training and education to take greater responsibilities. Your achievement in school is the best foundation on which you can build for a sound future. In order to enter Univer¬ sity or get a start in a business or trade a bare pass in your grades is not sufficient. It is not enough to know only half of what you have been taught throughout the year. Competition for places in the world today requires that a pupil get the highest possible marks of which he or she is capable. Be¬ sides getting the highest standing possible a pupil should learn to get along with others as this is ne¬ cessary to be successful and happy in life. A pub¬ lic school is a cross section of society. Here you have all types of people with whom you must try to get along agreeably if you are to be reasonably happy in school. This training is very useful for your adult life. I would like to extend my best wishes to all pu¬ pils in this Collegiate and especially to those who are leaving this June. May you be happy and suc¬ cessful in whatever walk of life you choose. 4 PRESIDENT ' S MESSAGE I would like to take this opportunity to express my thanks to the student body for electing me president of the student council. I would also like to express my appreciation to the various committees and chairmen and to the principal and the staff for their guidance and co-operation throughout the past school year. As the year draws to a close it is perhaps fitting that we look back over our tricks and tribulations of the past ten months-. Our first, and perhaps strangest, social event of the season was the com¬ bined freshie and election dance held in October. It was here that some of the latent talent of our collegiate was discovered. The next high-light for the social set was the Holly-Hop—a last fling before Christmas exams set in. At the end of January, we sounded off the dance season with the Sweetheart Swirl. This left only the big event—Graduation! Besides our dancing we had many other activities. The end of February climaxed months of nrenaration when we staged our annual presentation—this year a highly successful variety concert. This year saw the continuation of several clubs began last year and the beginning of another. The Square Dancing and Badminton Clubs were well supported and the Science Club brought honour and fame to Miles Macdonell by winning prizes in two Science Fairs. School spirit this year was at an all time high as may be seen by the support the Variety Concert, school teams and clubs received and in the participation in our annual Track and Field Meet. To those students who will be attending Miles Macdonell next year, I extend my sincerest wish for success in your studies. By the time the 1960-61 season begins, Miles Macdonell will have mushroomed into 25 Class rooms, an auditorium, shops and home economics. Undoubtedly those students who return to Miles Mac will be attending one of the finest high schools in Manitoba. In closing I would like to wish next year’s council the best of everything in all their endeavours. I also wish the same success to all of the students in whatever walk of life they choose. —Harry Taylor 5 Betty Shimozawa, Harry Taylor, Monte Weiderhold, Luellyn Hunter.

The parties consisted of: Cold: President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer Jack Lumsden Leonard Bugera Betty Shimozawa Luellyn Hunter Green. President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer Harry Taylor Monte Weiderhold Frances Russell Janice Molasky The elected candidates, after various house parties were: President Harry Taylor Vice-President Monte Wiederhold Secretary Betty Shimozawa Treasurer Luellyn Hunter The Student Council consisted of the four main officers, Committee Chair¬ man, and the presidents of each classroom. The first meeting of the Council was called for October 9, 1959 when Luellyn Hunter was assigned her duties as signing officer of the Student’s Union funds. The Student Council met on various occasions to discuss and decide mat¬ ters of interest to the students. At the beginning of the term the Council dis¬ cussed the problem of a Television Show. Suggestion boxes were set up in each classroom to obtain information on what kind of show the students wanted. A committee consisting of Ron Stromberg, Monte Wiederhold and Paul Thomas was set up to draw up a plan after having perused the suggestions. The Council again met to discuss the amount of donation from each stu¬ dent to various charity drives such as the Christmas Cheer and March of Dimes. At these meetings the Committee Chairmen met to report on the various projects which they had undertaken. From these projects emerged basketball games, dances, entertainment, monthly edition of the paper and others which all told gave the Students of this school a very rewarding year. At one of the meetings it was decided that regular meetings were to be held on the first Thursday of each month. The Council, at various meetings decided upon the Yearbook name, the Macadonian and the place of purchase of the school jackets and sweaters, i.e., Harv-Al’s. An important event of all Grade XI and Grade XII students was Gradua¬ tion. Numerous meetings were held to discuss the florist to which the graduates could go, the color of boutonnieres the boys of Grade XI and XII would wear, the time of our Graduation, and numerous other details. From these meetings information was given that the students had decided to purchase flowers from Highway Florists, the Grade XI boys would wear white carnations, the Grade XII boys would wear red. The different acts of the Warren Davis show telecast from our school on May 30 were voted on. Among those participating were: cheerleaders, Glee Club, Don Bucholz, Harry Taylor and others. In all, the Student Council was responsible for the success of the school year, we feel, and hope the students enjoyed the year as well as the students who served on the Council. —Betty Shimozawa 7 E.

Do you remember, fellow graduates, way back when we first came to Miles Mac. as “freshies”, a little unsure about high school life? It is really not so long ago, but so many things happened between now and then, it is hard to believe that it did take place in such a short span of time. Do you remember that first freshie dance, the Christmas dance, the Exams, the operetta, and oh, a hundred other things? Before we realized it the year was over and we had passed to grade eleven. Again opening day came with some new faces and new rooms, but it was not quite so strange. Then came the dances, the freshie, and the Christmas, but this time, we were “top dog’’. Next we plunged into our exams, then the fun in the variety concert. We were constantly kept busy with our studies and with our various activities and clubs such as curling, bowl¬ ing, science, drama, badminton, and square dancing. We had our Easter exams and our field day. We had our “lemon’s ade’’, that is the prelude to graduation, the last call for dates, the feverish activity and now finally: To-day is graduation day. For most of us it is a “jumping off place” in our lives, the transition stage between adolescent and adult. Some of us will be going out to meet the world; some to higher fields of study. To all, the years will bring new experiences, new challenges. 32 Today we feel proud, (we are graduating), but let us feel a little humble too, for we did not get to this point entirely through our own efforts. We had the help of some of the most important people in the world (to us anyway), our parents, our teachers, our friends. I know I speak for all the graduates when I extend a heartfelt thanks to our parents and to our teachers. To you our parents, for your unselfish devotion, your constructive criti¬ cisms, at times so rebelliously and foolishly resented, your endearing patience, we can only say thanks, we shall ever be indebted. We assure you all your sacrifices are not and will not be forgotten. I would like to thank our teachers for their encouragement, for their help in all fields, and for their efforts in equipping us for our future life. You our parents and you our teachers have tried to instil in us high ideals, high goals, and the knowledge of what is right and wrong. You have taught us there is this something else besides just the subject matter which rests in our text books. On this our graduation, it is not the end of our learning, but the beginning. Now we must go out and utilize the knowledge, the skills, and the high ideals we have learned from our parents, and from our years at Miles Mac. I also would like to take time to thank our friends, and our school compan¬ ions, who worked with us, played with us, shared in our victories, and in our defeats. The experiences we had with our friends have formed a wonderful part of our high school days. Some of us here today have achieved high scholastic standing, and some of us have not, but both of these mean absolutely nothing if we do not leave our school with a new concept of the world, with the ability to think, and with the desire to achieve some goal, some ambition, and to do the absolute best we can. Then we have mastered the principal purpose of our schooling. Douglas Mallock sums up that spirit in his poem entitled “IF”. If you can’t be a pine on the top of a hill, Be a scrub in the valley, but be The best little scrub by the side of the rill, Be a bush if you can’t be a tree. We can’t all be captains, some have to be crew, There’s something for all of us here There’s work to be done and we’ve all got to do Our part in a way that’s sincere. If you can’t be a highway, then just be a trail If you can’t be a sun, be a star For it isn’t by size that you win or you fail Be the best of whatever you are. 33 Yes, let us resolve on this our Graduation Day to live a life of service to mankind and thus remain true to the high aspirations and traditions of Miles Mac. We need this faith in mankind, for in the none too distant future it is we, the students of this era, who will be guiding Canada’s affairs. The sum¬ mit conference failed a while ago. It is we as Canadians who might be pre¬ sent at a future important summit conference. It is only by holding true to our ideals, by doing the best we can, and by goodwill and understanding that we may bring a less troubled peace to the world for ourselves and for our children. Lord Byron aptly explained that farewell is “a word which must be and hath been, a sound which makes us linger”. Well, we had a lot of fun in our years at Miles Mac. and I think as Byron’s quote points out, that most of us here are not quite so eager to leave the old Alma Mater as we pretended or anticipated at the beginning of the year. But time marches on, and now it is graduation. Here we stand on the threshold of a new existence, perhaps leaving behind old friends, perhaps making new ones. We do not know exactly what the future will hold, but we do know it will be different from anything we have yet experienced. Whatever we do, or wherever we go our school experiences, our friends, our teachers, and our fond memories will remain with us forever. —Brian Weinerman BACK ROW: Alvin Barrett, Clint Acheson, Bruce Dawson, Bruce Dorset, Doug Birt, Bill Lang, Marshall Chiborak, Bruce Cristall, Bob Brickey, Mel Bush.

Our girls, not to be left out of any discussion, (lit¬ erally), have also taken an active part in sports. They never give up until the final whistle, which accounts for their winning a hotly contested basketball game with a rival room by the overwhelming score of 1-0. This victory may be attributed to Beverly Edwards, who is our secretary-treasurer. Now we turn from athletics to the more demanding field of scholastic achievement. Our top student is Marlene Balzar, who is followed very closely by Eleanor Berezuk. Eleanor, besides being an excep¬ tional student, is also our class president, a fact at¬ testing to her popularity among her classmates. Throughout the year, we have been rescued from the dark depths of despair by the antics of one Bill Lang, who can be counted on to break up the class at almost any given moment by the not-always- quiet muttering of some hilarious comment. Bill, al¬ though not one of the top students, is by far the most noticeable in the room. Other class notables are Barbara Clisby, who is the class representative of the social committee; Les¬ lie Clark, who is our girls’ sports representative, and Joan Dunthorne, who is the Teen-Age Book Club representative in X-A. In closing my report, I would like to wish all my classmates good luck in the forth-coming examina¬ tions, and I sincerely hope that everyone will pass the term with good marks, and will go on to attain even higher heights in grade 11. —Mel Bush CLASS XA-ROOM 13 This year, our class, X-A has been fortunate in that we have been able to supply a few exceptional athletes for our school teams. Dave “Mouse” Confrey, who is one of the funnier boys in our class, also has the distinction of being an active participant in almost all sports. Through the school year, he has played on the volleyball and basketball teams, and will probably take an active part in our annual field day. Dave is one of the top scorers on the basketball courts, and is also the room’s sports representative. Doug Birt is another of X-A’s contributions to the athletic field. He has played on the volleyball and basketball teams, and because of his efforts, was chosen as an All-Star player. This is not his only field of endeavour, however, as he is also our vice- president. Doug is well known around the school because of his high number of points achieved on the basketball court. With due respect to the other rooms, I must men¬ tion yet another star of X-A, Bob Brickey. Bob has earned the title of “Black Magic,” no doubt because of his fantastic ability to hit the ’ol ring from almost anywhere on the court. Bob has also earned the unofficial title of being one of the quietest and fun¬ niest boys in the class. Speaking for the whole class, I feel that all three of these boys must be congratulated and accorded the honour due them, in spite of possible outcry 36 V BACK ROW: Alec Godfrey, Terry Havlik, Jim Montgomery, Tom Fitzpatrick, Ken Farn, John Mallin, John Heath, John Erlindson, Gordon Funk, Doug Hawkes, Dennis Gamble.

CLASS XB-ROOM 18 After having started our first, and we hope success¬ ful, year in senior high school, I’m sure not a few were bewildered at the difference from previous school years, but towards the end of the first month we found ourselves adjusting. X-B held class elections and the class officers are as follows: President: Tom Hinds Vice-Preident: John Harper Secretary-Treasurer: John Heath Boys’ Sports Representative: Gordon Funk Girls’ Sports Representative: Sandra Johnson Social Committee: John Mallin T.A.B.: June Hunter John Heath disproved the theory that girls make the better secretaries. He has done well in looking after X-B ' s financial affairs. Our class officers have done a fine job this school term and I’m sure everyone appreciates their efforts. When the Variety Concert rolled around X-B contributed its share of workers and performers. The sweet voices of Treasure Fraser, Karen Komar¬ chuk, and Beverly Horn were to be heard in the Glee Club. Don Buccini played trumpet in the school band. The rest were too bashful to perform on stage so they lent their helping hand backstage. Sandra John¬ son was the originator of the alluring purple costume with flower bedecked hat worn by one of the mademoiselles in the beauty contest. Lome Hys- nicki, Ken Faircloth, and Susan Heatherington help¬ ed in the set department. June Hunter was on make¬ up staff, and Doug Hawkes worked on sound engin¬ eering. Sandra Johnson was the girl we chose to represent X-B at the Sweetheart Dance. Now to get around to the sport department—X-B entered a boys’ and a girls’ team in the Intra-Mural basketball league, but they weren’t too successful. X-B has quite a few bowling enthusiasts, namely Karol Plezia, Susan Heatherington, Sandra Johnson, June Hunter, Ken Morris, Ken Faircloth, John Har¬ per, and last but not least Tom Hinds. Tom showed his ability as a bowler in being chosen as one of the top bowlers who represented Miles Macdonell in the Inter-High Bowling Competition. X-B is not lacking in curlers with Arlene Jones, Ron Harman, and our own teacher, Mr. Green who was the teacher-sponsor for the curling league. We also have in our midst a member of the varsity boys’ basketball team, John “Misty” Mallin and a member of the boys’ varsity volleyball team, John Harper. John Harper played in the Schmolleyball game at¬ tired in an oversized diaper, baby-bonnet, and box¬ ing gloves. X-B did well in the scholastic field with the first five people in rank having averages above 80%. In order, they were Marilyn Knox, June Hunter, Karen Komarchuk, Beverly Horn, and Susan Heatherington. All in all this has been a good year and everyone is looking forward to passing in June. —June Hunter 37 BACK ROW: Howard Reid, David Horne, Allan Hoffman, Mike Klem, Don Pickup, Bob Crosby, Michael Maslick, Bob McLaren, Keith Jones, Bruce Koss, Barry Snaper, Gemot Borzym.

As friendly relations increased, class elections took place and the following were elected to office: President —• Stan Moroz; Vice-President — Peggy Reimer; Secretary-Treasurer — June Pearn; Social Committee — Wade Roland; Sports Representative — Sandra Ratner and Jerry Procillo; Teen-Age Book Club — Kathran Rosie. Different clubs were formed during the year with members from X-D taking part. They were: Drama —John Parker. Glee Club—Bryan Nemish, Lynn Rid¬ ley, Errol Robinson, John Parker. When the basketball season came around X-D formed its best teams. The boys team won every game but 2 in league competition and when it came to the semi-finals, they dropped out. The girls team... Sharon Patek was one of the high scorers in the bowling league and now has a chance to bowl in the inter-high school tournament. Wade Roland was on the team that placed second in the curling competition. Now the class is anxiously waiting for field day. Good luck X-D. This year Miles Macdonell put on a Variety Con¬ cert in which X-D took part in all fields. The Variety Concert was a big success. Some of the participants were: John Parker—who was a great success as the Hawaiian girl honeybun: Margaret, better known as Peggy Reimer, played the part of a cleaning woman who carried the slop pail across the stage. She had the bad habit of throwing the pails contents on the audience. By the way, Peggy was X-D’s romance for the Miles Macdonell Sweetheart Queen. Class X-D had a terrific time during the year and was also able to stand up quite well scholastically. Some of the high averages were Stan Moroz 92%; Lynn Ridley and Peggy Reimer both with 87%. Stan Moroz’s high average was made possible by his 100% in mathematics and 99% in science. Unlike other classes X-D had a non comformist named Kenneth Richard Mussel esq. He always had a different opinion on anything anybody said. —Bruce Rosner 39 BACK ROW: Bob Tait, Dave Walker, Frank Woods, Richard Taggart, Barry Stutsky, Henry Riffell, Lorence Yaciuk, Robert Stalker, Dennis Singbeil, Allan Thoren, Paul Thomas, MIDDLE ROW: Janet Smith, Daryle Zoles, Philip Velpel, Ed Shewaga, Cliff Weber, Dennis Schmidt, Paul Toonstra, Ed Smith, Ethel Simpson, Joan Tanchuk.

CLASS XE-ROOM 15 The year of 1959-60 was a happy and eventful term for X-E’s students. Our home teacher contrib¬ uted greatly to the class enjoyment of grade ten. Several weeks after school began we held our class elections. Paul Thomas was unanimously voted presi¬ dent and Linda Wishart was elected secretary-treas¬ urer. Richard Taggart was named our social rep., Dave Walker our boys sports rep., and Janet Smith our girls sports rep., Sandra Webster was elected Teen-Age Book Club rep. Both Janet and Sandra be¬ came secretaries of their respective organizations. Last of all, Kathy Willis was elected Year Book rep. Our president, Paul Thomas, participated even fur¬ ther in school politics when he became Betty Shimoz- awa’s campaign manager during the main school elections. Early in the school term bowling and curling reg¬ istrations became the main topic of conversation. X-E entered thirteen bowlers and one curler. Our curler, Bob Stalker, made a wonderful showing of himself. He was a member of Gary Milne’s champion¬ ship team. Next came the Variety Concert. Drinda McCaffrey, Kathy Willis and Linda Wishart went on stage as members of Miles Mac’s Girls’ Tumbling Club. Lawrence Yaciuk made an excellent clown in the Boys’ Tumbling Club display. Sandra Webster was the only student of X-E in the Glee Club. Behind the scenes Sandra Webster, Kathy Willis and Drinda McCaffrey worked hard on props. Linda Wishart and Kathy Willis learned to put make-up on performers in the concert. Linda did an excellent job on John “Honey Bun” Parker. Two participants in the Shmolly Ball Game came from room fifteen. Lawrence Yaciuk was clad in a skin coloured bathing suit covered with a towel, a straw hat, sunglasses and sandals. Ed Smith wore a skirt and sweater, high heels and a lady’s hat. X-E is very proud of its basketball team. The boys came first in the grade ten competitions by beating the boys of room twelve by a score of 20-13 but were badly beaten in playing against XII-C for the school championship. The boys deserve mention. They were Lawrence Yaciuk, Dave Walker, Ed Shewaga, Paul Toonstra, Paul Thomas, Dennis Schmidt, Ed Smith (coach) and Janet Smith acted as mascot. Ed Smith was a member of the boys’ varsity basketball team. Special tributes go to Linda Wishart for being first in class with an Easter average of 83.5%, to Ed Smith for being the most talkative member of X-E, to the boys’ basketball team. We all wish to say good-bye and good luck to the cutest girl in the class. Donna Whitley is moving to St. James. We’ll miss you, Donna. Our class teacher is taking a year’s leave of absence and travelling to Europe. We all wish we could be going with her and we wish her an enjoyable trip. —Kathy Willis 40 BACK ROW: Brian Haines, John Rozall, Reg Carson, Wayne Zurba, Bill Haywood.

CLASS XF-ROOM 5 May I ask you, what can be said about X-F that has not been already said? We have made our pres¬ ence felt. Truly, this is a cosmopolitan room, rang¬ ing the full breadth of the alphabet from A (Allar¬ dyce) to Z (Zurba). Naturally, such a range of human material would make for a great room. This year of ’59 and ’60 was a complete room of boys, to be exact 23. This year saw our boys taking part in many events. At the beginning of the year, when class voting was taking place, Room 5 elected the following executives: John Rozall: President Reg Carson: Vice-President Cliff Beall: Secretary-Treas. Ken Dere: Sports Rep. Stan Halipchuk: Year Book Rep. and Paper Rep. Terry Cunningham: Social Rep. Our class president did a tremendous job in keep¬ ing the boys conversant with school council’s decis¬ ions. In curling our contribution was Douglas Mc¬ Kenzie. We had several avid bowlers from our room, Lawrence Morris, Les Mortinson, Cliff Beall, Rick Macphail, Ron Allardyce, Brian Haines and Dave Kemp. Not only is Dave an interested bowler but ranks highly as an agile, alert pin-setter at “Kam- rath’s Lanes.” The basketball fiends from our room are Allan Turczak, Les Martinson, John Cheele, Douglas McKenzie, Lawrence Morris, Reg Carson, and Wayne Zurba who was coach. These made up the core of our team. Some terrific playing was exhibited by these boys. Wayne Zurba was a member of the school’s Varsity Basketball Team. He is also the proud owner of one of the team’s white sweaters with the big M’s. When it was time for our boys to pick a girl for the Sweetheart Swirl, we chose Bev McCall of Room 13. Although she didn’t win all of us still think she is a sweetheart anyhow. The man with the high average is Lawrence Morris. Although we are not bright in French, our discussions on some topics, particularly with Geography, can rival those of the City Council. City Hall, here we come! We almost had a tenor from our room in the Glee Club which was featured in the Variety Concert. Much to our chagrin he dropped out because sing¬ ing practice interfered with basketball practice. Wayne Gibson is a member of the “Guardians.” Through the “Guardians” we are informed as to the condition of the local roads and other automotive in¬ formation. Culturally, Miles Mac’s journal, the “Echo” was helped along the way by Stan Halipchuk, our class reporter. Truly, he was versatile, stapling, distributing papers, collecting money and pressuring students to purchase the various editions. Tumbling was successfully attempted by all. Mod¬ estly speaking, perhaps our strength lay in the field of Physical Education. The basics were perfected along with some “nip ups” hand springs, neck springs and head stands. During dancing instruction the boys attempted to dance and although some were successful, the majority still danced as if they had two left feet. It was fun and tremendously enjoyed. These sessions were a success because after the danc¬ ing classes, boys would be humming the tunes and executing the dance steps that they had just learned. Vaudeville, look out! Not to be outshone by anyone extra-curricularly, X-F demonstrated its abilities at the track and field meets. —Sian Halipchuk 41 BACK ROW: Mrs. Boyse, Margret Wilkinson, Judy Innes, Alice Meinhart, Diane Bell, Virginia Mills, Judy Jones, Annette Wynohradnyk.

CLASS XC-ROOM 2 X-G, which is an all girls room has spent a year of school and during that time our room entered a team for both inter-room basketball and volleyball. We were not successful in winning the championship for the school in either of these but we were successful in the sense that everyone enjoyed herself. Diane Bell played guard on the Varsity Basketball Team for Miles Macdonell. She is X-G’s athlete. Joyce Craven and Penny Burlington both belonged to the Badmin¬ ton Club which met on Monday nights. We chose Joyce Craven as our class president and it certainly was not a mistake. Joyce kept us posted on the school happenings and what our Student Council was considering and also what it was doing at all times. The vice-president was Penny Burling¬ ton. She was a great help to Joyce. The other class representatives were: Ruth Beckett—secretary- treasurer, Vicki Gavin—Social Representative, Dor¬ een McMillan—Year Book representative, and Diane Bell—Sports representative. All did the best they could with the positions they were given. Joyce Craven took part in our school’s Variety Concert by acting in the play “Tickless Time.” The play was well acted and well enjoyed. Kuni Omotani, Diane Bell and Penny Burlington took part behind the scenes. X-G wishes to express their thanks to Vicki Gaven who pulled X-G’s blinds down whenever they got stuck at the top. Without her help we would have spent many a sunny Science period. During the year we lost three of our classmates. They were: Carollee Glowacki, Silva Olson, and Penny Bouma, who moved to Minneapolis. The num¬ ber of girls left is now 25. If it weren’t for Carollee Glowacki, Miles Mac- donell’s Yearbook would be without a name again. This fast-thinking girl with the overwhelming per¬ sonality thought up the name “Macadonian.” To sum it up 1959-60 was a year that we in X-G will not soon forget. —Doreen McMillan 42 BACK ROW: Norm Mitchel, Roger Henderson, Larry Lacomy, Garry Greening, Michael Harrison, Ken Benedictson, John Rarie.

The President of our room is John Hunter who is always ready and willing to do anything asked by the class. During the year we have had speakers to talk about the different fields of retailing. We had a personnel man from the Eaton Co. speaking to us; Joe Daley acted the part of applying for a position. Everyone in the class learned and enjoyed the ad¬ dress. The top five students in our room this year are: 1. Norm Penner 65.8 2. Pete Seimons 64.4 3. Ron Parkes 63 4. Jerry Falzarano 61.5 5. Buddy Mager 60.5 Ken Benedictson who takes an active part on the Social Committee has done a lot this year to get our school dances organized. He also takes part in our inter-room activities in the sports field. As the days come and go in the school year, some of the students also come and go. Doug Marshall, who went to General Wolfe School last year is new to East Kildonan schools. Students that have left our room this year to accept positions are: David Kam- stra, Brian Cruikshank and Garry Greening. The sports representative for XH is Larry “Loop- er” Lacomey. He has done a good job this year in organizing teams in our room for the inter-room sports activities. Our inter-room basketball team went all the way to the finals for the grade tens this year, but eventually lost out. Gordon Corke was the star of our basketball team and stood out in every game we played. He was also the high scorer in the room. In the finals Norman Mitchell played great games and seemed to sink every shot he took at the basket. The whole team really tried hard but the breaks seemed to go the other way. Our room will really be trying hard on field day to pick up a few points. Since our room is all boys we have a lot of fine athletes to enter. Everyone in our room tries as hard as they can to keep it up to par with the rest of the grade ten rooms. It would be hard to take each person separately and tell about him as it seems everyone in the room helps as much as possible in anything we have to do. —Roger Henderson 43 BACK ROW: Pat Terry, Cheryl Byrne, Elizabeth Howgate, Joan Jarmey, Vivian Redman, Judy Langrell, Bev.

We have quite a few noted athletes; Bev Rosin and Adele Woodward were a part of the Varsity Basket¬ ball Team. We also had a great volleyball team that lost its first game by default. Possibly it was better that way. This great team consisted of Carol Temer¬ eski, Marilyn Leir, Donna Kendell, Bev Rosin, Pat Terry, Pat Pydee, Dianne Willems, Nancy Wiebe, Joan Vilczyski, and Lexie MacKay. In the entertainment world Diane Willems took an active part in the tumbling display in the Variety Concert and Adele Woodward worked in make-up. Both did a wonderful job. Adele was also our “Miss Sweetheart” represent¬ ative in the Miss Sweetheart Contest. The clowns of the class are Marilyn Leir and Carol Temereski. Just listening to them when they get going during literature period makes you laugh. Carol also made an appearance at the initiation dance. When she didn’t wear all her get up, she sang us a nursery rhyme. The kid has talent, but not in singing. In recognition of our outstanding typists, our teacher has constructed a chart which appears in Room 12 to honour them. Our speed queens are Dean¬ na Mann, Vicki Scrutton, Vivian Redman. Altogether we have a fine class. —Lexie McKay SECRETARY Mrs. L. Godwin CUSTODIANS Mr. J. S. Thompson Missing: Mr. J.

Perhaps if it had been sooner, if you had been able to bring him in before. . I accepted these words as if they had been, “I’m sorry, we have no bread today. If you had been sooner. . I let go of his hand, death-heavy, and watched the nurse straighten his limbs, then draw up the white sheet that moulded spectrally over his form. Now, all life was gone. He was just a body. But where did it go? What was it? I hadn’t seen it leave. It seemed so absurd to me. Death. Just a body . . . flesh that soon would undergo funeral preparations. Flesh that, in a satin lined casket, would be lowered into a gaping hole. I could hear, far off, the thud of earth on wood. I had been to a funeral before. I had felt grief then. I had cried with my eyes and with my heart. Where was that grief now? Why couldn’t I find it for the one I loved so much? I felt ashamed. Yet, what did it matter? Was this what we live for—to die? It is all a useless thing. We are just things—no more. We grow, mature, but it is certain we will be struck down. And that’s all it takes. One blow. There are so many failures in life. Why doesn’t everyone stop living now instead of sweating, fight¬ ing, loving, hating—only to meet death in the end? And yet we do everything we can to preserve such a stupid, useless thing as life. We fight on and on, trying to claw our way over the obstacles placed be¬ fore us. We are poor, footless, stupid animals. Sud¬ denly I hated everything, everyone. I hated my¬ self . . . I remembered how much a part of our plans of the future that house had been—that house that helped to kill him. He had worked late, we had done without, assuring ourselves our time would come— but after the house had been paid for. The nurse put a gentle arm across my shoulders. “Come along now, you can rest and be alone in the next room.” I felt sorry for her because she was so kind. I walked passively beside her and she guided me into a soft, green, room. I sat down stiffly on an old. mushy, and comfortable chair. I stared, straight ahead. I realized the nurse would go back, change the bedding, and, quite soon, someone else would occupy the room. And life would go on. No one would stop to mourn his death. Everything would continue as before. “He won’t come home, not ever again,” my mind taunted. The words were obscure. I heard each word in itself and could not connect them together to grasp their meaning. “Something will have to be done with his clothes.” I thought. “I had better phone Mr. Kelly and say he won’t be coming in for a while. Perhaps later, but not just yet.” Something told me I was not making sense but that too refused to make itself clear and understood . . . “I know nothing I can say will help ease your sor¬ row right now,” the doctor was saying. “No.” I thought, “Nothing anybody can say will help. Please leave me alone. Let me die.” “If it’s any help at all, there was a little pain and he died swiftly.” “Birds fly swiftly too, off into the horizon . . .” Again I knew I was not making sense. “Would . ..would you care to talk?” the doctor gently inquired. I nodded. It made no difference. Suddenly I realized it did make a difference—I had to talk to someone. “Why did God do it? I had so much faith before, and now that’s gone and it’s been replaced by hatred. Do you know what it is to love someone with every¬ thing that’s in you? Do you know the times of quiet understanding, of sharing, and of complete unselfish¬ ness and love? God knows because he is God. And yet, knowing, he took everything I had—for Him¬ self! And now, I’m supposed to be full of understand¬ ing and say, ‘It is the will of God.’” The doctor gazed down at me and I felt suddenly weary. A terrible debilitation began to creep into my brain. The doctor was talking soothingly. “I understand that you can feel this way. It may sound hollow and meaningless—what I am saying— but after a while, after you have fully understood what has happened, you’ll find everything coming to you and you’ll lose this bitterness. But you must find your own peace of mind. That’s something you must fight for alone.” 46 THE CONQUEST (Cont ' d) I let these words roll over in my mind, and slowly I began to understand. Then it all came in a blinding inundation and I felt an overflowing, bottomless grief. Suddenly I found myself leaning impersonally against the doctor, shuddering with sobs . . . As the sedation curled its fingers around my senses, my mind began to retaliate. This was life—all this love, hate, grief. Death is merely a temporary separation. After death, we carry on, only with something far deeper than life as we know it to be. Meanwhile, I must fight, fight to preserve love and everything that is good. I felt helpless with grief, yet paradoxically I felt myself surging with mental strength and voraciousness. I knew I would always to able to carry on. I realized I had conquered death and quietly, shamelessly, I wept . . . —Merrilyn Ferguson XI-D THE CONFLICT Across the vast unkown stretch Of time we struggle to make Our way and etch A mark upon this vastness for the sake Of future generations.

Taylor XII-B THE PLEASURES OF LOAFING The history of loafing dates back many centuries to prehistoric times. The ancient reptile was among the first to master the art of loafing. Seeing the wonderful pleasures which could be derived from loafing, man was quick to emulate the cold-blooded vertebrates. Throughout the centuries loafing has steadily increased in popularity until it has now be¬ come the favourite pastime of countless millions. Un¬ fortunately there are those who have not yet mastered the art, and deplorable as it may seem, those who are diametrically opposed to it. A proficient exponent of the art is able to dis¬ pel all unpleasant thoughts. Loafing brings him peace, rest, relaxation, and contentment. In our age, the importance of peace of mind cannot be over¬ stressed. Today, more people than ever before are suffering from nervous tension. Why? Because they have not yet acquired the art of loafing. A loafer can occupy time by listening to melod¬ ious strains, by reading hilarious books, or he can simply close his eyes, lean back, and dream of trop¬ ical islands warmed by the gentle rays of the set¬ ting sun, of palm trees swaying in the breeze, of the sound of water lapping against a sandy beach, of the fragrance of exotic tropical plants, of sumptuous re¬ pasts, of orange juice, checkers, and song. Vicariously he can travel to distant lands, to mys¬ terious Africa, to the frigid arctic, to the frozen tundra. He can even cast off the shackles of the earth and journey to the unknown planets, to Mars, Jupiter, or Saturn. Loafing is a boon to man, a source from which he can draw infinite pleasure. —Arnold Deltman XII-C THOUGHTS I gaze from my bedroom window Upon a bright new day. And the beauty of the morning Leaves me with naught to say. I see the gentle dew drops As they lie on the window sill; The wonderful world God created; And I am still. A fresh new day and love Never fail to cause me awe, And I think, “This is just as beautiful As what Adam and Eve saw.” A fresh new day and life— What a lot to be thankful for! As dawns each day, we see More and more and more, Of the wonderful world around us; The stars, life itself, and love, Savage beasts and birds of prey, And then, peace, the dove. And thus, it is that I think, A I gaze at the world this way, “Life is, oh, so wonderful As is each brand new day.” —Lynn Ridley X-D 47 ON BEING SMALL I am small—extremely small. To be exact I occupy a space of not more than one cubic inch. I am a stone. Born a citizen of the United States, I moved in the summer of 1959, to Canada. You have undoubtedly heard of the famous red rocks of Colorado. These are my relatives. You must have heard the famous quotation “Thar’s gold in them thar hills.” “Them thar hills” are my brothers. I was born in the Painted Desert of Arizona with a rather sandy texture, and a very reddish color. When the American government began to build a highway through the desert, I was unearthed by a bulldozer and left by the roadside. This was my first look at the desert. It stretched out before me like a large sheet. Often I would spend my time watching cars go by, noticing the various license plates of the vacationers. One day a ’55 Chev. with a Manitoba license pulled up alongside the road. Three people got out and began to look around. They examined the bigger rocks first, and then one approached me, and picked me up. He liked my small size and so called the others. The three of them scratched me, hammered me, and tried to split me in two. Then, because I was small, they threw me into the car. Obviously, I had been given some kind of test and had passed it. But now what was to become of me? Where were they taking me? Why were they taking me? I sadly looked around for a last view of all my friends. As the car began to move, I realized that a new part of my life had just begun. We covered four hundred miles that day. Our travels brought into my view the Grand Canyon, Hoover Dam, and Las Vegas. I can still remember hearing the Las Vegas weather report: “Mostly clear skies today with moderate winds 13-18 m.p.h. low 68, high 106. Yesterday high—105; Forecast for to¬ morrow—warmer.” The next day we left for Los Angeles. By now I had been forgotten by my travellers and, being small, was left to enjoy all the sights of Southern California, through the rear window. I remember speeding down the Santa Anna Freeway; looking with awe at the great Mt. Wilson Observatory, shinning like a great mirror in the bright sun; and finding myself thrilled at the magnificent homes in Beverly Hills. And, I will never forget that memorable trip to Disneyland. All to soon, however, it was over. I was rudely shoved into a boy’s pocket and enveloped in complete darkness. My holiday was over. A few days later, still in darkness, I could vaguely hear the sharp voice of a customs officer. I was at the border! Soon after, I was brought out of my solitary confinement for my first glimpse of Canada, Manitoba, and Win¬ nipeg. I have now retired. The family placed me in what they called a rock collection. Being small of course, I again readily adapted myself to my new surroundings and have already made friends with all the other stones in the collection. Thus, have I moved from the United States to Canada—over four thousand miles, mostly because of my convenient size. As a footnote to this true story, I might add that, a few weeks ago, while the lady of the house was cleaning up, several larger stones were thrown out. I was allowed to stay, again proving that there are great advantages on being small. —Denis Hlynka XII-A CANADA (SUNG TO TUNE OF DELAWARE) What did VAN-COUVER When he heard you GASPE What did VAN-COUVER Tell me do, I ask?

Flow you’ve changed No more naked white terrain, But gigantic towers bleached grey-white Pierce the blackness of the night And Confusion reigns. —Sonia Smerchansky XII-B 48 THE PATH TO THE LAKE It was only a narrow path cut through the lush green vegetation of the Florida swamp and it showed up about as much as a fine long scar on a hairy arm. To Ostwald and Priscilla, a team of archeologists from Lansing, Michigan, it was their own private super highway, from their secluded base camp to the emerald green lake from where they received their monthly supplies. They were the only people for miles around and the only people who used the path but even so, they kept the path free of the leach-like vegetation which constantly tried to choke it. On this path, they transported supplies from the lake to the camp. Ostwald had been gone for a long time, in fact he was due back half an hour ago. Priscilla set out along the path to find him. Halfway to the Lake she found him. Her blood-curdling cry pierced the torrid jungle air. There, on the path lay Ostwald. He was not alone. A huge snake was wrapped about him, squeezing him tighter and tighter, like a person drawing the two ends of a shoe lace together. She shrank in sheer terror, her hands clutching her hair as she heard Ostwald’s ribs snapping like pencils, his eyes bulging from their sockets like two peeled grapes as his last agonizing moan was crushed from his lungs along with his life. A missionary found Priscilla several days later, lying on the beach in a state of shock, mumbling about a path. Yes, the path had been their life line and then some. —Bill Harper XII-A SNOW A vast wind-blown ocean of whiteness stretched for endless miles upon the barren plains. Ivory- topped mountains could be distinguished on the distant horizon. All form of life was invisible save the solitary track of a horse knifing directly across the terrain. Gleaming points of light produced by the illumination of the brilliant moon dazzled the eyes of horse and rider. No tree or shrub was to be seen. The immense ceiling of black, with the stars of the universe, the endless prairie, created an atmosphere of unmerciful loneliness. The movement of life was painfully slow. Hot breath solidified in the frozen air. At last the figure in red dismounted, ever so slowly, his stiff legs almost collapsing as he touched the hard-packed snow. The sweat of previous flight had frozen on the horse’s black body, and shudders ran intermittently through his ri ppling muscles. His breathing was hoarse, and came in short, quick, excruciating pants. “Lungs frost-bitten’’ muttered the hard man, the fearless man who had experienced stark tragedy, the man who now choked on tears. “Pneumonia has set in, boy. I know you can’t take it any longer” he said, patting the horse’s muzzle fondly, as memories of unselfish service raced through his mind. The man loosened the saddle and let it slip to the frozen snow. He placed the blanket roll on the ground and led the horse about one hundred yards from the campsite. Then he undid his holster flap and eased out the revolver, the cold black metal searing his bare hand. A sharp report shattered the still air, and silence again smothered the prairie. The man sat on the saddle pondering for many minutes before he brought himself back to reality. He scooped out a shallow depression in the snow and built a small fire. With a few stones he set up a heat reflector and then rolled up in his blanket. “A few hours may do me some good” he thought as he slowly drifted into slumber. The bright sun awoke the solitary figure. Soft flakes fluttered down like feathers as he sat up shivering in the brisk air. He had had only about two hours rest, but it made him feel a little more like continuing. A harsh wind began to brew in the northern skies. He could not remain still any longer. He devoured some of his rations, then strapped on his snowshoes and knapsack, and slung his Winchester over his shoulder. By noon a barrier of snow confronted the travel¬ ler. Visibility was down to a minimum. He struggled on through the deep drifts as stiff gusts smashed sharp ice-particles into his unprotected face. He placed his hand to his cheek, but all sensibility had disappeared. He began wishing that he was not here, that he was back at the R.C.M.P. port per¬ forming daily routine. But to him it had become disgustingly dull, and he had joined the detachment for excitement, the same trite old motive that carried many to enter, some to regret their decision. Due to his own request, and because he was a good man, he was ordered to take a supply of small pox vaccine to a disease-stricken Eskimo village on the Melville Peninsula. He had been flown in as far as possible, then was to take his horse, which he had brought with him, to a port where he would obtain a dog team. The mounty’s thoughts went back to his detach¬ ment at the small village of McMann in Northern Manitoba, and to the happiness and good times he had shared with the townsfolk. “They were very kind” he remembered. “Sometimes I . . .” the grind of flesh against stone,. . . an ear-sickening thud . . . the human form lay ever so still as death at the bottom of a deep crevasse. One leg was pinned beneath him. An hour passed. The mountie awoke. He could not move. He was on his back, the contents of his pack smashed and frozen. The endless curtain of snow drifted upon him. He could hear the chilling howls of wolves nearby. He could feel his blood begin to thicken, his circulation to dwindle, his body become lifeless as the bitter cold stabbed through his clothing. Still the snow fell about him. It was not hard and cruel snow, but moving so softly—so slowly. It was that pure light velvety snow that creates an atmosphere of peace, of wonder in nature, as it floats from a black sky. The mountie did not care now. All he wanted to do was rest. After all he was exhausted from his trek and desired a long sleep. His eyes closed. He felt a profound peace of 49 mind, his frozen mouth forming a satisfied smile. Then darkness spread over him. Only he could see the brilliant point of light A commingling of voices drifted over the top of the crevasse. A child had wandered from the port and discovered the man covered with the innocent snow. His friends had come to rescue him; but the mountie did not know . —Hugh Andrew XIIA SNOW Snow is uncomfortable, wet, cold, and in the cities, dirty. But more people find more fun in snow than in any other of nature’s products. If one dis¬ regards icy snow drifted over sidewalks and roads, dead batteries and that popular illness, the cold, one can receive a great deal of enjoyment from snow. Just because it cost you $5.00 to be towed from a ditch and into garage, don’t despair! Think of the fun you’ll have this weekend. You won’t have fun? Oh, I see. While a temporary pedestrian, you fell on the ice and broke your hip. The children enjoy the winter anyway, skating, sledding, running in front of cars. It’s a joy to watch them. You may have the pleasure of taking them skating. There you are, standing at the side of the rink watching your breath freeze and feeling your feet go numb. You must admonish Johnny many times to turn his ankles out like Daddy does. What more could one ask from life? The possessor of young children or none at all usually finds pleasure in the national sport of snow shovelling. The competition is hot and furious. The object of the game is, of course, to see who can shovel a navigable path in the shortest time. The satisfaction is boundless. There is no greater feeling than to watch your paunchy neighbour enboring over a hot snow shovel while you relax in front of your picture window. All must agree that no other substance can bring out man’s love of the fireside as snow does. —Maureen Beaman XIIA with the piercing of my skin and I lie back defeated, once again, by my enemy, the dentist. —Williard Homiak XIIB APPOINTMENT It is just about time! Soon Johnny will step con¬ fidently into the busy street, his bright blue eyes fixed on that red and white rubber ball. The driver of that big black sedan will be speeding down the street, cursing to himself because the heavy traffic is keeping him from his all-important meeting. He won’t see Johnny, until it is too late. In a split second it will all be over. Johnny’s small body will be lying on the slick wet pavement, while his life giving blood trickles from the gash in the side of his head. The crowd will gather. They will see the ambulance careen down the narrow street and come to a screeching halt. The doctor will rush forward and kneel beside Johnny’s lifeless little body while his deftly trained hands do their intricate work. He will look at Johnny’s tousled blond hair and the innocent face of a child and he will know that I have come. We have met many times. I, Death, am no stranger to him. Yes, everyone is waiting. The police—the ambulance—driver—the doctor. They’re all waiting for that driver. They all know him only too well. He is the driver whose mind is occupied with everything but his driving. He is the killer. —Bill Harper XIIA MY ENEMY He’s behind me now and I can hear a faint gurgling sound. His aide in white seizes my arm and I can sense a brutal attack on the region between my parched throat and the last bi-cuspid on the lower left-hand side of my fear-paralyzed mouth. I grip the sides of my death trap and mutter un¬ intelligibly as the heady smell of disinfectant causes my stomach to flip. With a swift movement he s suddenly in front of me and his long, menacing needle glints in the over-lighted room. His hand makes a motion—the blood drains from my face— he draws back to talk to someone passing in the hall. He comes at me again, eyes gleaming, smiling cynic¬ ally, hairy hand shaking.

Field conditions were excellent when Miles Mac- donell invaded Glenlawn Collegiate in the opening and only game of the 1959-60 season. In the first half, playing with the wind at their heels, Miles Macdonell counted early; Bill Nickarz scored on a quick pass over, and made it “1” to “0” for Miles Mac. With about five minutes remaining in the first half Stan Nickarz rifled a shot past the startled Glenlawn goalkeeper who for some reason was stationed at the opposite side of the goalmouth. At half time the team gathered around their coach, Mr. J. L. Nixon who proceeded to commend the team on its fine first half performance, and offered helpful instruction to those who needed it. The second half of the game had not gone more than five minutes when the Miles Macdonell squad lost the services of their sturdy right defenceman, Peter Winning, who was ejected from the contest by the referee on the feeble charge of dangerous kicking. The wind which had been relatively calm, suddenly increased in intensity, making it difficult for the Miles Mac defence to clear the ball from their end. At about the twenty minute mark of the second half the roof fell in on Miles Mac’s goalie, Willard Hom¬ iak, who had been playing an outstanding game in the nets. Two quick Glenlawn goals crept past him. The remaining portion of the game remained scoreless and the game ended a two all tie. —Bill Nickarz 52 Bob Stalker, Cliff Schmidt, Ed Atwell, Gary Milne (skip). The M.M.C. Bowling Association The M.M.C, Bowling Association had its biggest and best year this season with eighteen teams com¬ peting. The students bowled two nights a week. With nine teams bowling each night, one team was forced to bowl alone on alley nine. Once again the season was split into two parts. In the second half each team of five was given a sixth bowler due to the number of students wanting to bowl after Christmas. The top nine teams played in the roll-offs and Garry Kissuk led his team of Claire Dafoe, Sharon Patek, Connie Matheson, John Hunter, and A1 Fingler to victory. They were awarded the trophy donated last year by Mr. Clay, the former proprietor of Lynwood Alleys. Some of M.M.C.’s outstanding bowlers this year were: Boys ' High Single - A1 Fingler 313 Boys ' High Double Bill Harper 583 Boys ' High Average Dick Birch 194 Girls ' High Single June Hunter 270 Girls ' High Double June Hunter 403 Girls ' High Average Margaret Kovachlik 158 In roll-off competition Janet Smith surprised everyone with a game of 310 and A1 Fingler bowled 316. Again this year M.M.C. was well represented in the Inter-High Bowling Competition with the top 10 girls and boys representing our school. Although the four teams did not place, everyone did his or her best. We would like to thank Mr. Wilson, Len Bugera, and Hugh Andrew for their fine work in organizing and running the Bowling schedule this year. We would also like to thank Mr. Kamrath, the pro¬ prietor of Lynwood Alleys, for his co-operation throughout the season. —Ron Worton CURLING Here ' s to the Spearing’s and Buffie’s, The Simpson’s and Robertson’s too.

Angus McEighl-Ender A year has passed, a princess has married a com¬ moner, and a rookie skipper has carried his rink to the Miles Mac Curling Championship. Gary Milne and his rink of Ed Atwell, Cliff Schmidt, and Bob Stalker breezed through the round-robin play-offs winning three straight games after absorbing only three losses all season. Gary and the boys downed the rinks of Orville Buffie, Dale Grevstad, and Gord Spearing with respective scores of 11-7, 8-6, and 15-6. Buffie had Miss Sparling, Ken England and Dave Horne in front of him; Spearing had Bill Glabecka, Don Bucholz, and Wade Rowland with him, while Mr. Green, Ray Ryan, and Dale Knoll completed Dale Grevstad’s foursome which eventually won the points championship. Congratulations to Ed Atwell, Cliff Schmidt, Mike Maslick, and Alvin Barret for their reaching the final of the Dan Davidson event only to lose out to Litman of West Kildonan. Dale Grevstad’s rink of Orville Buffie, Gary McEwan and Bill Evans were among the eight undefeated rinks, but lost going into the quarter finals after winning five straight. —Dale Grevstad odCK now: Hubert.

Ron Brickey’s “Buckeyes” travelled to West Kil- donan and returned with a 47-42 squeeze. Garth Mitchell’s no-look jump shot netted him 8 points. Robert Brickey had the crowd gasping with his swishers from center. The three shorties, John Mal- lin, Wayne Zurba, and Doug Birt played well on defense. Dave “the mouse” Confrey’s end zone layups give him 16, top for the night. Norwood left with a 54-48 decision. Smiling Doug Birt scored 25 points for his best game of the season. The experienced Brickey machine swamped the “never-say-die” Brookland Chappies 96-15. Deadly shooting by Glenlawn left MMC at the short end of a 65-32 contest. Rene Day, improved play originator, and Garth Mitchell chained 10 points apiece. Shifty eyes Bob Brickey still remains as “eazel” (cool) man for the team. John Ayotte and his mates provided thrills aplenty as they crept by 75-59. Rene Day, leading scorer, scored 18 while Garth Mitchell and Dave Confrey netted 12 apiece. 51-50 reminds 11 players of the night when their playoff hopes vanished. A large MMC crowd cheered hard, but the fellas couldn’t net the extra points. Team captain, Garth Mitchell did his best with 19 points. Wayne “Pierre” Zurba’s injured heel added anxiety to the night’s excitement. Spirits fell as Norwood squeaked by with foul shots in the last 14 seconds. The season’s largest crowd, and the retirement of coach Brickey, inspired the “Buckeyes” to a de¬ cisive 67-30 bout over West Kildonan. Rene Day scored 19, while Bob Brickey and John Mallin bombed 14 and 13 respectively. Ed Smith had the bench on their feet as he chained his first basket of the season. CONFIDENTIAL CAPERS???

The team of 59-60 consisted of Sonia Smerchansky, Nola James, Brenda Witwicki, Gail Scott, Liz Tanner, Darlene Swanson, Sandra Johnson, Diane Bell, Carole Beard, Maureen de Jong. The season opened with a game against West Kildonan on their own court. The final score was in our favour 18-11. As the boys met Brooklands the second week the girls had a “bye.” The girls’ next triumphed over Norwood 28-21, but only to lose by 17-10 to Glenlawn on the following Friday. Glen- lawn then travelled to our home court where they met defeat in our only overtime game by a score of 28-26. Again the girls received a “bye” and then went to Norwood only to be defeated 24-12. West Kildonan then played a return game and was handed another defeat to the tune of 19-12. The team thought that this game was the last of the year but found out one week later that they were tied with Norwood for last play-off position. In an after four sudden death play-off game Miles Mac triumphed 24-11. That week four games were play ed in five days, one being an exhibition. On Wednesday St. James paid us a visit and trounced us 46-30. Thursday the team rushed to St. James hoping for revenge only to lose by ONE point with a score of 23-22. The team would not wear their uniforms again this year. The top three scorers for the 59-60 year are Gail Scott, Sonia Smerchansky and Brenda Witwicki res¬ pectively. We would now like to take the opportunity to thank Betty Greschner, a former player of this school, who turned out to coach us. We greatly appreciate her splendid effort and regret that her hard work did not produce better results. Rene Day was appointed by Betty to take our after four prac¬ tices. We thank Rene for all his hard work. We would like to wish the future teams of Miles Mac all the luck to go all the way.

BOYS ' INTRA-MURAL BASKETBALL In our Intra-Mural basketball league this year there were fourteen teams all told; there were three grade twelve teams, four grade eleven teams and seven grade ten teams. Each team played six sched¬ uled games plus the play-offs and the final, if they qualified. The final between the grade twelve and eleven series was won by twelve C, by a score of 22-17. The senior boys then met the grade ten champs, ten E, who previously had beat ten H 20 to 13. Incidentally the big boys of Twelve C won the game by a score of 46-9. High scores for the winners were Lamoroux and Spearing with sixteen points apiece. Yaciuk got the high score honours for the losers with four points. It is regrettable that Eleven C did not play any games throughout the regular season, but due to a misplaced entry sheet somewhere along the line they did not appear on the schedule. They were however, allowed into the semi-finals, only to be beaten out on their second game by Twelve C, who as was mentioned before went on to be school champs. The thanks of the Intra-Mural teams goes out to the men of the Varsity Basketball Team and to the P.T. instructor who kept the league running. —Bryan Krecsy GIRLS ' INTRA-MURAL BASKETBALL At the closing of the intra-mural basketball year, XA and XIB were the winners of the two schedules. These two rooms met in a knock-down, drag-out series with XIB winning two out of three games with scores of 10-8 and 12-7 respectively making them intra-mural champs. This same team has won the championship for two consecutive years. There was active participation in the latter part of the schedule, with good sportsmanship through¬ out. Thanks goes to the sports reps, and the students for making this a successful intra-mural basketball season. —Luellyn Hunter XIB 56 1st Row: Willard Homiak, Ed Smith, Dave Confrey.

BOYS ' VARSITY VOLLEYBALL Miles Mac’s first game was played across the river in West Kildonan against a group of boys who had been playing together for a few years. Even though the opening game ended in disaster the team never gave up. Their next game, which was at home against Norwood, was a different story. After having gained a little experience, they took the Normacs into camp and taught the visitors a lesson. This was a big victory, in fact, the first one in two years against Norwood. Miles Mac also suffered a great loss, in losing a three year veteran, Wayne Wilson, who later played in the Senior Men’s Volleyball League and was chosen as one of the six men on the West¬ ern Canada All-Star Team! On Wednesday, September 30, the Ekay gang travelled across town to St. Vital and suffered their second defeat. Then came, Monday, Sept. 28 when the local crew visited the St. James lads and won an easy victory. Two days later, Miles Mac played host to St. Vital at East St. Paul High School, but lost. Their next 2 games were scheduled against Silver Heights but these games were awarded to Miles Mac. Not having played for nearly three weeks, Miles Mac then met the much improved Norwood team. After three close games, Miles Mac came out on the losing end. Wednesday, Oct. 21, Miles Mac squad took another victory from the weak St. James team. On Monday, the picture was reversed when Miles Mac travelled to Glenlawn and suffered their second defeat to the boys in red led by the powerful John Ayotte. Miles Mac then finished the volleyball league with a bye. But after the other teams played their final game Miles Mac came out of the season’s battles with a third place tie vs. Norwood. A sudden death match was played at Norwood on Nov. 9 to decide third and fourth place play¬ off berths. Miles Mac lost the game but won the honours of 4th place and the right to meet West Kildonan in the sudden death semi-final game. The team was short handed next game. Even so, the rest of the team played an excellent game, but the squad was missing their usual height on the front wall and lost in two straight to their oppon¬ ents. This finished the short volleyball season. Volleyball is not a game of individuals, but a game which requires a team effort before success may be attained, that is, the reason few names were mentioned. Miles Mac placed the same as last year but is looking forward to next year with a possible dozen experienced players returning from this year’s team. On behalf of the team’s co-captain, “Wee Willy” Evans and Gordy “Moose” Spearing, and the rest of the team, we would like to thank the rest of the student body for their spirit in the sup¬ port of their team. —Bob Jackson 57 GIRLS VARSITY VOLLEYBALL Front Row: Liz Tanner, Gail Scott, Sonia Smerchansky, Betty Shimozawa.

GIRLS ' VARSITY VOLLEYBALL Although the Girls’ Varsity Volleyball team did not bring home any trophies this year, Miles Mac- donell may be proud of their team. As the girls hung up their sneakers for another year, they had the consolation of knowing they had tried hard and played well. The team members for the 59-60 sea¬ son were Betty Shimozawa, Gail Scott, Elizabeth Tanner, Nola James, Luellyn Hunter, Carol Fargy, Dawny Kwiatkoski, Sonia Smerchansky (captain) and Rene Day whose capable coaching resulted in many victories for the team. Generally enthusiasm was high among the team members this year. Since the team had six “old pros” back from last year, the girls had little trouble get¬ ting used to each other and soon competition was in full swing. The league games ran quite smoothly for the team as they won over Norwood (2), Transcona (2), Churchill (2), St. James (1), West Kildonan (2) and Silver Heights (2) but lost to Fort Garry and Glenlawn respectively. At the end of the schedule Miles Mac recorded 11 wins and 5 losses placing them in third spot. A thrilling best of three semi-finals series followed with Miles Mac in heated contest with their old rivals, Glenlawn. The first game was played at Glenlawn before many avid Glenlawn supporters. Although the Green and Gold showed excellent form they dropped the first set 15-11 and 15-9. However the tables turned for the second set in which our team trounced the op¬ position in two games straight much to the delight of t he Miles Mac spectators. The third game was played at Glenlawn. Both teams gave a splendid per¬ formance but it was Glenlawn who won the rallies when they really counted. Glenlawn and Fort Garry emerged victorious. On behalf of the team I would like to thank Rene Day for his splendid coaching and Miss Thom for her assistance. To next year’s club we wish good luck in their quest for the inter-suburban title.

BOYS ' INTRA-MURAL VOLLEYBALL Starting the season with a bang, the XIIA boys lost their first game, in a double knock-out competi¬ tion. This initial setback was enough to make the XIIA boys settle down and win every game there¬ after, to reach the semi-finals against XIIB. The winners were to play the XIIC squad. XIIA won the semifinals and advanced into the finals against XIIC. The finals were played on a Friday afternoon be¬ tween XIIC and XIIA, with XIIA emerging the win¬ ners. The games and the scores were recorded as following: 1st game XIIA-15, XIIC-13 2nd game XIIC-15, XIIA-10 3rd game XIIA-15, XIIC-12 This concluded a very successful volleyball sea¬ son and the XIIA boys can be proud of their magnifi¬ cent performance. The boys of XIIA would like to take this opportunity to thank the collegiate teach¬ ers for their recognition of a challenge game asked for by the XIIA boys (XIIA won the first and third games, with the teachers taking the second game.) Stan Nickarz GIRLS ' INTRA-MURAL VOLLEYBALL Due to the co-operation of the grade 10, 11 and 12 girls with the volleyball conveners, Nola James and Sonia Smerchansky, this year’s schedule ended successfully. Most of the rooms of the collegiate en¬ tered a team and few teams represented defaulted. The games were played on Tuesdays at noon and Thursdays at four. After many strongly contested matches, two grade 12 classes emerged as finalists— 12A and 12C. The finals were to be a “best of three series” and were to be played in the Melrose Gymnasium. Each room had a cheering section which included Miss Taylor for 12A and Mrs. Lee for 12C. These teachers seemed to give the teams more spark. In the first game 12A defeated 12C by a high score of 15 to 5. 12C came back in the second game to scare 12A but again were defeated 17-15. Bouquets to 12A and all those who participated in intra-mural volleyball to make it a successful year. Nola James 59 M.M.C.I. FIELD DAY BOYS . . . EVENT PRIMARY JUNIOR INTERMEDIATE SENIOR 100 YARD 1.

Well, our field day got off on the right foot this year with perfect weather conditions. It proved successful as 15 records were broken. Special congratulations to six athletes who won all the events and among them broke six records. They were: Gail Scott (1 record); Nola James, Jo¬ anne Woytowich (2 records); Danny Rosin, Garth Mitchell (1 record); Dave Confrey (2 records). Bouquets must go to the following athletes who also help set new records in their respective events. They are: Jim Westmacott (2 records); Alfred Cor- nies, Norman Rogoski, Hemple Reimer, Don Olynyk, Jim Bruce, June Huyda, Joyce Craven, each setting one new record. —Dave Confrey Suburban Track and Field Meet This year’s suburban meet was held at Sargent Park. Despite cold and rainy weather the meet proved to be a very enjoyable one for both the spec¬ tators and competitors. I would like to thank all who participated in the Suburban Meet. Conditions around the school grounds are very poor and poor weather has kept our top athletes from real hard training. But never¬ theless we are very proud of our boys’ perform¬ ances at the meet. They placed second to St. James, being a mere six points behind them. Our girls did not do as well, but on the whole, Miles Mac placed fifth among the schools. Congratulations also to the following athletes who won at least one event: Gail Scott, Bill N ickarz, Jim Westmacott, Alfred Cornies, Garth Mitchell, Dave Confrey (the latter two winning two each).

FRESHIE DANCE Our Freshie Dance this year served two purposes. First, it opened the social doors of Miles Macdonell to welcome the Freshies. Tradition, of course called for an initiation and the newcomers were put through a few paces by the senior students. They were compelled to wear all manner of queer cloth¬ ing. However, our wonderful Frosh took their pun¬ ishment well and came through smiling. The second purpose of this dance was to introduce to the student body, the two parties who would be competing in the student council elections which were fast approaching. A floor show was held by both the Green and Gold parties which contributed to the happy dis¬ position of all who attended the dance and also dis¬ played to the students the talents of both parties. HOLLY HOP As the title suggests, this dance was of a festive nature. Its purpose was to give a premonition of and set the mood for the Christmas season which was to follow. The gym was decorated in white and silver. White crepe hung from the ceiling giving the illusion of a cloud of snow. Silver snow flakes decorated the stage. The attendance at the dance was remarkably good and the atmosphere was brightened by “les femmes” in their gay holiday dress. Prizes (records) were given to winners of spot dances, statue dances and more spot dances. A com¬ mendable job of advertising was done by Ken Miy- anishi (Plug) Commercial Artist, Phone ED 4-6437. All in all, the Holly Hop was a success and only one complaint was heard, “Where is that mistletoe.” 63 SW EETHEART SWIRL The Sweetheart Swirl took place on January 29, and was, in the opinion of most, the best dance which we have held within the last few years. For a full week before the dance an air of ex¬ pectation filled the halls and the question, “Who will be the Sweetheart?” was on the lips of every student. By 8:30 the gym was crowded. Each room had chosen a candidate to represent them. As the stu¬ dents entered the dance they cast a vote for the candidate of their choice. The finalists were judged by Miss Lowery and Mr. Spack. At 10:00 the curtain opened, and the fairest of them all, Miss Carolyn Cowlishaw, was crowned Miss Sweetheart. Miss Donna Whitley and Miss Darcy Case were her princesses. All contestants for Miss Sweetheart were given rose corsages, and the winner received a heart- shaped locket. The decorating committee, under the direction of Carole Fargey, did a tremendous job of giving the gym a special brightness for the gala evening. The success of the Sweetheart Swirl was indeed a reward to all committees who helped with the dance. DRAMA CLUB 1st Row: Eleanor Wilson, Dawney Kwiatkoski, Barbara Foster. 2nd Row: Lyall Dallman, Hugh Andrew, Pete Fischer. COKE DANCE - LEMON AIDE - GRAD CRAB Despite the controversy over the naming of this dance, there was no doubt as to its purpose. A little out of the ordinary, this dance was held on a Wed¬ nesday evening. The doors opened at 8:00 and eyelashes batted until 10:00 giving the hesitant boys a fine opportun¬ ity to ask “the” question. Records were supplied by Ricky McPhail and his Tapping Ten. In conclusion of this social year at Miles Mac- dopell, we of the social Committee would like to express our sincere thanks to the teaching staff who chaperoned the dances and to all those students who served on committees. Each of you in your own way have made possible the success of the Social Year of 1960. —Darcy Case DRAMA CLUB The highlight of the activities of the Miles Mac- donell Drama Club was our production of the com¬ edy, “Tickless Time,” presented to the public at the Variety Concert. To increase our success the people associated with pantomimes put forth a commend¬ able effort. The concert was a sell-out on each oc¬ casion and the audience reaction showed accept¬ ance and appreciation. In December, 1959, the Drama Club invited the Winnipeg Drama League to adjudicate the trial play, “Elmer,” performed by actors of the club. The members who attended this session were given valuable suggestions on proper methods of acting and appropriate staging techniques. An interesting “first” on the part of the Drama Club this year was the worksh op. We sent two del¬ egates, Martha Kotowycz and Joyce-Mary Craven, instruction by Esme Crampton, to the Manitoba Theatre Center. We then had the pleasure of their showing the club members a part of what they had learned. We hope this can be more fully developed next year. The executive of the Drama Club, Hugh Andrew, Dawn Kwiatkoski, and Diane Dolerty extend a special bouquet to our competent sponsor and teach¬ er-director. We are sure all members of the club have enioyed their limited activities and thank them for their support. We sincerely urge all students of Miles Macdonell Collegiate to participate next year. —Hugh G.

Ian Joyce in his attempt to “reach truth,” has built a sundial so that he may see true time. He and his wife in a wave of enthusiasm, bury all their clocks to escape from a mechanized existence. Difficulties arise when Eloise realizes that sun time and standard time do not correspond. She is appalled by the thought of a bleak clockless future. Furthermore, Ian’s friends consider him completely mad and the Joyce’s cook threatens to leave. 14.

Jim Westmacott as vice-president and Dawny Kwiat- koski as secretary-treasurer. Meetings were held Monday nights from 7:30 to 9:30 p.m. In addition to playing Badminton, we could also listen to re¬ cords which were supplied by Mr. Meadows. Because the Badminton Club was not able to hold meetings until after Christmas, the tournaments started a little later and have not yet been com¬ pleted. Congratulations go to Penny Burlington and Henry Thiessen who won the mixed doubles. The boys’ and girls’ singles and the boys and girls doubles should be completed in a few weeks. The winners of these tournaments will receive trophies. On behalf of the Badminton Club I would like to thank the teachers who took time out to supervise the meetings and who helped to make the Badmin¬ ton Club a success. —Dawny Kwialkoski ART CLUB A new addition is being made to the school this year. This rapid growth in M.M.C. has also brought about new and additional extra-curricular activities. One of these has been the formation of an art club. Some 25 people expressed an interest, so an executive was elected and the first session made plans. At the first few sessions, we did some work with pastels. Everyone enjoyed himself or herself but it was rather messy as some teachers will tell you. Later on some work was done in oils. This is something new this year but I’m sure that in the future the club will con¬ tinue to expand and improve. The purpose of the club is to help its members to improve their work, and by exchanging ideas and techniques I feel the purpose has been accomplished. SCIENCE CLUB The Miles Mac Science Club finally organized this year and has had a very successful season. Although the club has as yet a fairly small membership, its members make up in interest and drive what they lack in numbers. The Science Club is strictly an extra-curricular activity and provides an opportunity for those with sufficient interest to do fairly extensive work in the fields of physics, biology, geology, or almost any field of science in which they are interested. During the past year, work has been done in the fields of physics, chemistry, biology, and general science. The mem¬ bers of the club have been encouraged by the results of their efforts. Projects were entered by the club in the provincial as well as the East Kildonan Science Fair, and took awards in both events.

SQUARE DANCE CLUB Every Wednesday during the past winter the sound of square dance music could be heard coming from the Melrose Auditorium. The M.M.8’s were at it again, enjoying another evening of “do-se-dos” and “allemand left’s.” The small but enthusiastic group of members enjoyed themselves under the very skilled direction of our instructor and teach¬ ers. Without their help the club could not have continued to meet. After many enjoyable evenings the club’s act¬ ivities came to an end with the final evening of dancing on May 12. Now the members all look for¬ ward to bigger and better things for next term. Pete B. Winning: Pres.

CLEE-CLUB Once again the Glee Club’s year began with noon rehearsals during the week. Attendance, on the girls’ part was naturally extensive. But, alas, our teacher found that she had to wave her magic wand at the boys to encourage them to come to rehearsals and strain their beautiful voices! (by the way, the fel¬ las really can sing)! At first the voices that came from Room 13 gave everyone the impression that these students were not singers but a group of screeching—. But on Remembrance Day, after frequent practices, the Glee Club proved that they could really sing. To¬ gether with the traditional hymns we sang, “The Lord is My Shepherd-Crimond’’ and Bob Nemish sang, “There is No Death.” However, this did not finish the Glee Club’s work for the term. This year they attempted a new GLEE CLUB COMMITTEE Carol Jones, Dale Grevstad, Sue McEllis. theme for a show. A Variety Concert was presented by the student body with the Glee Club singing ex¬ cerpts from Brigadoon, South Pacific, Oklahoma and several choral selections. Humour was shown, with great effort at times, by John Parker (own grass-skirt girl) and Donna Rangno—my what a sailor for Honey Bun! Other small parts were taken by Pete Winning, Ken Perkins, Don Bucholz, Er¬ rol Robinson, Susan McEllis—with her fabulous hat (an original creation) and Carole Jones. Once again, under Miss Hardy’s assuring hands, the Glee Club proved that they could sing by help¬ ing to make the M.M.C. Variety Concert a complete success. Now, towards the end of the year, we are again practising for the Graduation Choir. We ho pe that our selections will bring back fond remembrances to the 1960 Graduates of the Collegiate. On behalf of the Glee Club I would like to express our sincere thanks to our teacher who spent her time and efforts in directing and conducting the Glee Club through another successful year. 71 —Carole Jones, 11B rvv; NEWSPAPER Froni Row: Connie Hicks, Donna Parsons Back Row: Denis Hlynka, Dale Grevstad, Siba, Sonia Smerchansky Fra Larry Whitney, Stan Halipchuk 1 ••• ' Tt i JR ■ « f if tt w t % ’ C f ' f 7f-. vH 1 ‘ ' 1 . ■ ■ ■ Here ' s Your Opportunity!
