DRAMA CLUB THE EXECUTIVE Larry Jarret Wyman Jones FRONT: Anne Hensen, Charlene Pettie. MIDDLE: Linda Jackson, Judy Roedding, Vicky Adair, Linda Love, Liz Liscko. BACK: Chris Long, Bob Chapman, Pete Smith, John Meagher Doug Atkins, Bob Stewart, Mike Dale. The Drama Club this year has out-stepped itself. An active Executive with much initiative and co-operation has proven the club one of the top. This year the Drama Club again entered the District Festival placing second but don ' t think its the cast effort alone. Costumes, props, transportation, makeup and insurance had to be scrounged and arranged before this production hit the road. Other plays are also under rehearsal. Janet Meldrum Karen Taylor Next year lets have some support, a place for you - TAKE A CLOSE LOOK. There ' s very likely This year we are conducting a pageant type evening of glamour and poise in the choosing of a school Queen and Princesses prior to the Spring Prom 1968 . This is a victory in the creative idea solely to Northwestern 1 s Drama Club. Persons interested in DRAMA should plan to enter the most moving activity in Creative Arts early in September. Besides art works and entertainment we have plans for a trip to Toronto. This year we ended our major production with a toboggan party and dinner. It ' s not all work with no fun. You will be sur- prised. Yest Your Drama Club is on the move. Jill Meendering Mr. Coleman THE ADVISORS Sandy Turford Mr . Munro

YEARBOOK STAFF Front Row ; Jane Anderson Marilyn Meadows Middle Row; Peggy Hetherington Mary Dempsey Lois Meadows Glenna Lupton Judy Roedding Back Row : Judy Getter Al Holt Bill Jones Paul Dunsmore Bruce Comely Wendy Ballantyne THANKYOU Mr. Dickinson Mr . Edmonds Very Seldom is it the tradition of a yearbook to devote any space in the yearbook to the Staff Advisor or the photographer. Mr. Dickinson and Mr. Edmonds well deserve this space. Mr. Edmonds is responsible for all the pictures you see in this book with the exception of graduation and class pictures. We owe him many thanks for the long hours of work he has put into our Yearbook pictures and we would certainly be lost without him. Mr. Dickinson sees to it that everyone does his job properly, and makes sure the editor does not spend too much money. Many times Mr. Dickinson felt like giving the editor some choice words for not meeting deadlines. However, whenever we were in trouble Mr. Dickinson was there with kind, helpful words of encouragement and advice. We will always remember and be eternally grateful to him for his contri- butions to this and many other yearbooks.

HISTORY CLUB THE EXECUTIVE Dave Stewart Connie McKay Brian Sippel Absent - Stewart Young Northwestern ' s History Club this year not only received a new name, The Inquisitors, but it also underwent a transformation. The club, con- sisting of 60 members was divided into 6 groups: The Pharoahs, The Minoans , The Gracchi, The Tudors , The Jacobins and Les Coureur des Bois. A meeting was held every second Wednesday evening at 7.30 p.m. in the homes of the members and each group alternatively was responsible for the refreshments and entertainment provided at each meeting. The club ' s aim is to cultivate in its members an appreciation of culture, politics and history and each meeting was designed to promote this aim. At our first meeting Mr. S. Wilson, a member of Northwestern ' s staff, showed slides on France accompanied by an interesting talk. Another time Mr. S. Perotta, formerly with CJCS , discussed the importance of radio and its use as a news media. Rev. Orlo Miller captivated his audience with a talk on his famous book, The Donnellys Must Die. Relating the bloody and brutal massacre of the Donnellys and the events preceding and following the massacre, Mr. Miller attempted to show the research necessary and the problems encountered by a historian. Professor J. J. Bowden, of Althouse College of Education, took the club on a tour through Renaissance Italy. Another time Mr. L. Kearsley, again of Northwestern ' s staff, led a very enlightening discussion on Viet Nam, causes, problems and plausible solutions. This spring the club was off on a three day excursion to our capital, Ottawa. Staying at the .Lord Elgin Hotel, the club visited the Parliament Buildings, Peace Tower, Royal Mint, War Museum, National Art Gallery, Foreign Embassies and Government House, the Governor General ' s Residence.
