t i rts Activities 4 4 ARTS ACHIEVEMENTS for 1950-51 took the spotlight on the campus in several instances. Heading the fine faculty were two capable students, Senior Stick Alan Philp and Lady Stick Mary Elizabeth Babs Masterman. A beautiful Arts freshie, Ruth Thorvaldson, became queen of the campus during Fresh- man Week and made us an extremely proud faculty. ln the parade, the Arts' float placed second in the trophy competition. So we made a satisfactory mark from the beginning of the session. As usual, Arts students held important positions on U.M.S.U. sub-committees. Hard working Manitoban masthead members in- cluded Ross Francis, associate editor, loe Cfelmon, managing editor, lohn Dafoe, edi- torial advisor, lzzy Asper and Ron Slater, news editors, Babs Masterman and Gerry Bull, features editors, Marion Rose and Fran Bachynski, literary editors, and Michael Dafoe, of the editorial board. Editor of Creative Campus was Moishe Black. An- other energetic Artsman, Lionel Orlikow, edited the 1950-51 edition of the Brown and Gold. A talented Artswoman, Betty Wilcox, acted as Crlee Club chairman. Famous politician, Frank Muldoon was External Affairs chairman and also prime minister of the student parliament session. Freshman Week was handled by Ron Morlock and Lauder Mozell. Arts debaters, taking part in the inter- faculty competition for the Dingwall trophy, had a successful year. Many more students, than in recent years, participated in the debates, and they all maintained the high level of technique and preparation which has become a tradition in the Arts faculty. Michael Dafoe, as Arts chairman, deserves much credit for his vitality in this activity. President of Men's Athletics, Scott Wright, reported a successful sports year. The season started off with the entry of a ten-man team tabloid track and field meet. The Arts team placed an easy sixth out of the eleven faculties entered. The six man rugby team tied for second place in a tough division and c0a Page 96 although the two soccer teams clidn't win all their games, they didn't lose all of them either! Two basketball and three volleyball teams were entered in the inter-faculty com- petition and the teams displayed top athletic qualities. This winter, inter-Arts mixed curling was introduced for the first time and was well enjoyed by eighteen men and eighteen women who entered this league. ln addi- tion, three men's and one women's rink par- ticipated in inter-faculty curling. Al Sarchuk Ctrack and fieldl, Sid Green Csix-man rugbyl, Ken Chittick Csoccerj, Don McKay Cbasketballb and Lauder Mozell Chockeyl were energetic convenors in their respective sports. ln women's athletics, chairman loanne Shaw accounted for an outstanding year. Freshie queen, Ruth Thorvaldson, tied for first place in the golfing competition. ln point standing, Arts stood second in tennis, golf, track and high point aggregate. Margaret Dolhoun, volleyball convenor, did a particularly good job. Four of the four teams entered were in the playoffs. Social activities of the year were smoothly guided by Helen Purchase. The first event was the freshie reception held on October 2 at the Marlborough Hotel where freshies and seniors joined in fun at a banquet and dance. A most successful Skit Social took place early in November and was sponsored by the Arts girls council. lt has been acclaimed the greatest, most hilarious hen party yet! A February Awards party substituted for the usual Christmas party. lt was a gay affair held in the Arts building. Election results were announced and Arts athletic awards were made, not to mention the social activi- ties. Climaxing the years events was the Arts Grads Farewell, at the Fort G-arry Hotel, March 6. lt successfully marked the culmin- ation of the '5l graduates study and pleasures at the University of Manitoba. A quick glance back shows the Arts faculty in a favorable light during 1950-51. It encourages one to say Carry on, Arts!
