The drama club of this term, 65-66 has once again proven its ability to do fine work for the school as an extra curricular administrative group. Although it is one of the smaller committees associated with our school organization, it is faced with one of the major tasks of the school activities. It is faced with presenting an entertaining and enjoyable program to the local and surrounding public. In order to make this presentation, the drama club must choose the play, pick the actors, see that tickets are sold and look after stage and adver¬ tising work. To cope with this work, the committee tries to get as many students involved as possible. This working together aids in creating and developing co-operation, leadership and team-work among our students, as well as in getting the jobs done. The drama club also plays an important role in raising the much needed school revenue. Each year one major and one or more minor productions are presented to raise this money. This year it was decided by the drama club to sponsor one major production to be presented by the senior students, and two minor productions to be presented by the Junior High students. It was also decided that a comedy would be presented as a change from the usual “heavy” drama of previous years. Thus in early December the drama club gathered to choose from numerous plays our major production. By the end of the month the play, “Professor, How Could You! ” had been chosen and the books were ordered. The re-opening of school in January brought about the choosing of the actors and the handing out of the books. Practices got underway and the hard work began. After five weeks of continual and trying rehearsals the big day finally came and the curtains were raised. The three nights of superb acting by our cast brought forth nothing but compliments and high praise. After deducting all our expenses we found that we had made $186.00. The support of the public was encouraging and greatly appreciated by the cast, the drama club and the entire student body. Then four weeks later, the Junior High students were ready with their productions. Directed by their respective classroom teachers, they too came up with success and helped in entertaining and raising funds for the collegiate. On behalf of the drama club, the cast and the entire student body I would like to thank you, the public, for your much needed support and co-operation. Bill Enns. 24

The committee arranges sports such as baseball, volleyball, basketball, and football during the warmer months and curling, table tennis, and badminton in the winter months. All the winter activities take place during the noon hour with curling continuing up to the end of the activity period. This period is used as such to replace the summer P.T.’s This year the committee has been kept busy at all times. Teams have been drawn up and a regular schedule of games has been posted in every sport to encourage all students to take part in the sport of their choice. Because of the good participation and fine co-operation, all has gone well. Although we didn’t com¬ pete against other collegiates in every sport, we did sho w our ability to win in football, volleyball, and in curling. The curling league has been the best in some time and because of the new playing time few games had to be postponed. Participation has also been good in out-of-town bonspiels held during the week-ends. Our col¬ legiate has managed to receive the honours at some bonspiels, while in others we came home empty-handed. There is still truth in the saying, “You can’t win ’em all!” In our local bonspiel held annually, the number of teams was high compared to the number of students we have in high school. I might add that both the girls’ team and the boys’ team won the right to represent this division at the Morris Zone Flaydowns by defeating Winkler in the best of three series two games to none. Both teams did exceptionally well. This shows how well a collegiate can perform in sports if it has the desire to win. Dennis Buhlin 26
