BOYS ' ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION Don Doyle, John Loucks , Steve Cunningham, John Fisher, Bob Crossman, Randy Petrie, Ceasare Paola, Barry Kirk, Bill Jones, Bill Richards. This year the Boys ' Athletic Association sponsored many things and has plans for many more. Club President, Bob Crossman, had great support for his many endeavours, such as: bringing the Harlem Stars to Northwestern; the selling of beanies and pennants; the student tuck shop and picnic area. This year the club helped to sponsor Garnet and Grey Day as well as hhe Winter Carnival teams entered by our school. This was a group of fine individuals working for the promotion of our school and they all deserve a special note of thanks. So to the boys and Mr. McMillan, the chief advisor, thank you for many jobs well done. The school yearbook, I think it ' s swell. The day it ' s issued I run pell-mell To buy a copy And read each line The stories and jokes I think are fine When I praise the book I scorn those who laugh I ' m really faithful, I ' m on the staff.

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.
