St Johns Ravenscourt School - Eagle Yearbook (Winnipeg, Manitoba Canada)

Other summer activities of staff and students included Mr. Gordon’s trip to the Northwest territories and Mr. Olsen’s summer studies; both of these are reported elsewhere. Mr. Bredin travelled to Expo and to the Maritimes. Mr. Stewart attended the I.M.E. (Interaction of Matter and Energy) Science Briefing Session in Minneapolis. In the fall the biggest event was, of course, the official opening of the Dutton Memorial Arena with the Premier of Manitoba, Duff Roblin present and climaxed by Hockey Night in Winnipeg in honour of Red Dutton. The arena has been used this winter by many groups besides the school including amateur hockey groups who are not charged in all cases for the ice time. Another major event of the fall was the Annual Meeting of the Canadian Independent Schools Headmasters’ Association which for the first time met during term time: this gave the twenty-five headmasters from across Canada the opportunity to observe the school in operation while carry¬ ing on their deliberations. Also during the Fall the school hosted a weekend Hockey Coaching Workshop. I have deliberately left out of this account all those activities which went on at the school like Carol Service, Prize Day, A Theatre Happening etc.; these are school events. I wished to draw attention to those activities which make St. John’s-Ravens- court School a participating member in the community, however large you may wish to make that community. To conclude the year the boys organized their annual gift of clothes and toys for Indians in the Northwest Territories. In this way and in many others S.J.R. carries on its role in the world of education of the body, the mind and the soul. Gordon D.
