june 12, 1973 TO: The Faculty FROM: The Office It is prohibited by law to transport guns or animals via the school bus. Please announce to all classes that students carrying guns, in particular, will not be picked up. Yes - but watch the snakes! October 27, 1972 Dear Parents: Your son is a member of the Strathcona- Tweedsmuir Chess Club and right now the Club is planning a tournament. Mr. Heard, our Head- master, can obtain ten chess sets at a reasonable price of 51.49 each to enable us to have the tournament. Chess Club dues are 52.00 and this money would permit us to pay for the chess sets and provide a cup for each of the division cham- pions. If you approve of your son being in the Chess Club and of our budgeting, we would appreciate very much if you could consider con- tributing S200 to our funds. David Luxford, Co-ordinator Roger Patterson, Assistant Co-ordinator Robert Levy, Assistant Co-ordinator THE SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL SEARCH SEMINARS During the course of this year the senior high students were addressed by fifteen guest speak ers, too many to report about individually so we have compiled a list of the speakers and their interesting topics.

THE CHRISTMAS PARTY After weeks of rehearsing the Strathcona- Tweedsmuir Drama Club presented A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens just in time to end the fall term. The cast of thousands included Bill Marks as the misanthropist Scrooge, Harvey Hummel as Bob Cratchit, Brian Peacock as the dashing Fred Ebeneezer and Barry Clauson as a perfect Tiny Tim. The four ghosts, Pam Macdonald, lanice Heard, lane Hutchinson and Frances Amery were terrifying as they appeared out of the world of the supernatural. They can't wait to play similar roles in Macbeth. We extend our thanks to Mrs. Harasymiw who produced the play, to Mrs. Prentice and Mrs. Hazai who provided such excellent musical ac- companiment with the school orchestra. Without the efforts of these ladies the production would not have enjoyed the smashing success it did. Fran Amery TALENT NIGHT The audience was hushed while awaiting the commencement of the Third Annual Talent Night on March 23rd. The program, organized by Mr. Nelson, was the culmination of weeks of audi- tions and rehearsals. Part One of the program comprised the ele- mentary piano students under the direction of Mrs. Hazai. In Part Two, elementary students performed a variety of acts ranging from mime and dance to recitation and baton twirling. ln Part Three the School Band presented its ren- dition of Scarborough Fair. This was followed by the string students and then the Orchestra, both under the direction of Mrs. Prentice, play- ing a selection of classical items. During Parts Four and Five, the Grade seven girls presented a Radio Recipe, directed by Mrs. Shaefer, and the junior and senior high students in Mrs. Cox's classes gave a thematic poetry presentation. Part Six, the grand finale, proved a tremen- dous success as guitarists Bob Louisy, Wayne Barker, Christine Baker, Bruce Gammell and Mel Evans presented some contemporary and country music. The 1973 program was undoubtedly a boom- ing success and our sincere thanks go to the organizers and participants and to Dick Sherlock, the master of ceremonies who kept the program running smoothly. Fran Amery GRADUATION DINNER DANCE The STS graduation dinner dance was held this year on May 19, at the beautiful Inn on Lake Bonavista. For the first time the parents of all senior high students were invited to attend and the response was overwhelming. A capacity crowd filled the banquet room overlooking the moonlit lake. Among the guests attending were the Chairman of the Board and Mrs. Dover, the Headmaster and Mrs. Heard, School Governors and faculty members. The band, Vocal Minority, was the life of the party. lt maintained a continuous medley of past, present and future tunes that enticed every- one to dance until they were exhausted. To keep the party going into the wee hours, Mark Sibley hosted an after party at his cabin on Chestermere Lake and a graduation breakfast of burnt bacon sandwiches brought the festivities to an end. Recognition is given to Ben Bennett and his assistants for organizing the Dinner Dance. The location, the entertainment and the fare were excellent. The Harveys and Haywards must also be commended for the wonderful before parties they hosted. THE HALLOWE'EN PARTY Tuesday, October 31, 1972 The Elementary School staged a magnificent Halloween party this year. All the teachers and students participated. Costume prizes were awarded to the following students: Best Hallowe'en Costume - Witch - Angela Pattemore. Most Original Costume - Warrior - Lawrence Dundas.
