This Page Courtesy Sunley Electric Co. THE YEAR BOOK of the Victoria Composite High School in Edmonton, Alberta Gateway to the North 1951-1952 ACKNOWLEDGMENT • As you thumb through the pages of this book for the first time, many of the items will seem very unimportant. In future years as you look through the book, memories of “the good old days will be brought back to you. That is the objective which we are trying to reach—to bring back memories of the school days . . . frosh day, the first lit, football games, cramming for exams, cokes at the Milky, yearplay, basketball games, social functions, teachers, and even the classes. The content of the book is the result of the co-operation and constant toiling of the Argosy and Yearbook staff . . . circulation staff twisting your arm to buy a book, advertising staff twisting the advertiser ' s arm to buy an ad, sports staffs summarizing the sports events of the year, news staff collecting information of all club activities and social functions of the year, features staff doing the grad write-ups, art staff arranging the photograph schedule and setting up the book, business manager closely watching our budget, copy desk staff busily typing the copy before going to press, the grouchy editor always pushing the deadline, and advisers offering a guiding hand whenever we were unsure or hesitant. Outside the staff we have the photo¬ grapher, engraver and printer, all very important in the publication of this book. With all that, we hope to uphold the high standards of the reputation of Victoria Composite High School and bring you a book which we think is tops. —Casey Skakun. 2 Dedicated to J. P. PAGE Principal of the Commercial Section of V.C.H.S. Born in Rochester, N.Y., of Canadian parents, Mr. Page received his high school and college training in Ontario. He began teaching in Rothesay College, N.B., then in the St. Thomas Collegiate Institute, and finally came to Edmonton in the fall of 1912 to introduce commercial training into the Edmonton high school system. He taught in Victoria for two years, and was then transferred to the new McDougall school where he remained for 34 years, returning to Victoria when the Composite building was opened in 1949. He will retire at the end of the present school year, after completing 40 years ' service with the E. P. S. Board. From an athletic point of view, his greatest achievement was in forming, and for 25 years, coaching the Commercial Grads girls ' basketball team— a team that attained world-wide fame, and represented Canada at four sets of Olympic Games. In the political field, Mr. Page represented Edmonton in the Alberta legislature for eight years as an Independent, and for four years was leader of the Opposition. His special interests in teaching have been confined to Shorthand, Typewriting, and Office Practice. He is the author of the authorized text in Alberta for the latter subject. For the last seven consecutive years, his shorthand students have won more awards than has any other Canadian school of comparative size. His typewriting students have won a similar honor on several occasions. Upon retirement, Mr. Page expects to remain in Edmonton, devoting his time mainly to his three hobbies—gardening, golfing and curling. 3 CASEY SKAKUN Editor-in-Chief MARGARET WILSON Associate Editor GEORGE STRASDINE Circulation Manager FEp 1 ' M ' t I % T i w CONTENTS Page YEARBOOK EDITORIAL STAFF 4 STAFF.7 STUDENTS - - - - 17 ACTIVITIES 57 AWARDS .... 79 SPORTS ----- 85 CANDIDS - - - - 105 MISS M. R. CRAWFORD, M.A. C Jl essacje to the Qraduands of Victoria Composite High School So far in the history of the world there have never been enough mature people in the right places. Dr. G. B. Chisholm, W.H.O. Year Books and Graduation Exercises used to be functions peculiar to the University. Today, they are part of the life of the Senior High School, and properly so. For, while formerly High School was but the antechamber to halls of higher learning, today for most students it is the end of formal education. Eight of every ten of the graduands of 1952 will go direct to some occupation in the vast complicated system of modern society. You are about to enter upon another very important period in your lives. From here on you are on your own. One of the functions of the High School is to prod you on to maturity, to help you to grow up. How well have we succeeded? Physically, you are splendid, abound¬ ing in energy. It is a grand thing to have a healthy body, just so that you may forget about it and get on with the business of living. The question is: Have you matured equally well on the intellectual and emotional sides? What are the tests, by which to judge? Know thy¬ self, said Socrates. Do you know your aptitudes and powers? To mature is to bring one ' s powers to realization. Are you keen to stretch your powers to their limit? Dr. Chisholm says, A man is at his best, when he is doing his best at what he can do best. It is also true that a man at his best is a man at his happiest. It is a privilege to be young today and to live in Canada. For it is the young nations and the young people who must expand democracy and get it right into the hearts and lives of all the people everywhere on this planet. It is the only way to lasting peace. Almost every¬ one believes in it but only a few are doing much about it. Yet it needs to be worked at all the time. Democracy is not just an idea for election day. It is the guiding principle for all our relationships, in the home, the school, the office and the market-place. You, whose names are recorded in this book, are among the best educated of your age group. You understand the problems of the atomic age better than the average. Many of you have the qualities for leadership. There are never enough mature people in the right places. In the near future the responsibility for carrying the torch of democracy will devolve upon you. It may be you think the school has not prepared you for the responsibilities of adulthood. Well, I have yet to discover the person who thinks the right things were done in his mind, and I have yet to meet a teacher satisfied with his results. We could have done much better if there had not always been so very many of you and far too few of us. At any rate, democracy is the philosophy of a second chance. Many of the great contributions to civilization have been made by men who rose on stepping-stones of their dead selves to higher things . So, the past gone, seize today! From here on it is strictly up to you. 8 M. R. CRAWFORD. M j |r ' rfw ■ i % f 1 f ' ' VI SnF r c j§j j y J | !■ Ljrr ns W ifas 1 r r4 [; MR. A. HENDERSON MR. R. F HENDERSON, B.Sc. MR. E. D.

We are a group of students who have been on the most friendly terms for the past three or four years. This is the last opportunity we shall have to meet as students, and it may well be the last occasion at which all of us will be present. That is a sad thought. Three years ago we entered Victoria. A little nervous, ' tis true, and somewhat doubtful about our immediate outlook as students. We acquired confidence, and appeared to have taken several necessary and important steps toward a successful future. The benefits we have gained are two-fold. We have secured the education for which we sought admission, and a training that will stand us in good stead throughout life. We have received another group of benefits, not so obvious perhaps, but nevertheless of tremendous importance and influence upon our career. I refer to such things as the ability to get along with one another; to understand better the word sportsmanship ; to have clearer appreciation of the rewards of perseverence and application and a great many other intangibles. Those of us who, perhaps a little skeptically, maybe a little cynically, entered this school three years ago, have learned today that there is regard for effort, and that only real effort produces a genuine reward. We begin to see what Longfellow meant when he wrote: The heights by great men reached and kept Were not attained by sudden flight. But they, while their companions slept. Were toiling upward in the night. Perhaps we haven ' t achieved so much, but whatever we have done has been with the help of our teachers. So at this time, I say we owe our thanks to those who have played such an important part in our individual success. I refer, of course to our principal, Mr. Hicks, the administrative staff, and the entire staff. It is their guidance and understanding of our problems that enables us to be present tonight. I know that I speak for the graduating class as well, when I say, Thank you. And now, a word as to the future. We face it with optimism, courage, and determina¬ tion. Our ambitions will undoubtedly take us far afield, but wherever we may be we shall profit by the influence of the principles and precepts acquired during our association with V.C.H.S. Friends, may I just close with this thought? We leave tonight but our places will shortly be filled by others just as eager, anxious, and determined to succeed. It is our sincere wish that all the delightful and valuable experiences which have been ours, will, in due course, be theirs. When their time comes may they be as sorry to leave as we are this evening. 18 KAY PINCHBECK JOHN KONDROSKY ARDIS DAHL Cfrad Glass Executive OLGA MENDRYK MARIA SPORLEDER VERNA YOUNG By JACK VIRTUE We were all frosh that day back in September, 1949, freshmen, seniors and teachers alike, in the sense that we were all new to the white terrazzo building that was to be our place of learning for the next three years. Now, nearing the end of our high school education, it is with varied feelings that we look back on our tenure at V.C.H.S. and recall the highlights of the most tumultuous days of our lives. The school that we entered was deemed the most modern in Western Canada. Truly it was, with its P.A. sys¬ tem, office to classroom communica¬ tion, fluorescent lighting, technical wing ,auditorium and the various other up-to-date features which distinguished V.C.H.S. As the portals of Vic swung open to the trembling freshmen, they were introduced to a new form of life—that of a high school student. With the turmoil created by the new and unfinished building prevent¬ ing full-scale presidential elections, the Students ' Council Vote in Spike Brown as their first president. Social Convener, Marg. Edminston, presented the students with a well rounded social year. Handicapped by the lack of a gym of our own, Tinsel Trot, Cotton Ball, and other func¬ tions were held at Garneau. The year ' 49- ' 50 saw Herb Olsen skip the Vic curling team to the first of three successive city championships. Both senior girls ' and boys ' basketball teams captured Northern Alberta hon¬ ors. Our senior football team did not live up to the standards of its prede¬ cessors, failing to score a single point all season. However, a single point was all that kept our junior gridders from the city championship as they lost a heartbreaker in the Scona finale. The incorporation of a new award 20 system found Spike Brown, Eleanor McIntosh and Grace Smith the first winners of the V.C.H.S. Special Award. That was also the last year Uncle George ' s Day was held, as our beloved Latin teacher, Dr. Misener, was retired. That was our frosh year. Let us now turn to last year. With the completion of the recreation wing the school was able to find a definite routine. In a colorful election cam¬ paign, John Galanka gained the presi¬ dency. Such names as Argosy Editor, Jim Gooding and Social Convener, Ron Downey, were contemporary with Vic. Our social year was a smashing success with Snatch ' Em drawing a record crowd for a school function. ' 50- ' 51 also marked the return of the yearplays with I Remember Mama always being remembered by those who enjoyed every stirring moment of it. A fighting band of Vic gridsmen was waylaid by St. Joe ' s in their quest for the city championship. Once again our senior hoopsters gained laurels. Now the term ' 51- ' 52 finds us the seniors. This year has been most enjoyable to us; but it is with regret that we look forward to the time when carefree school days will be over. Our school leaders, President Walter Muir, Editor Casey Skakun, Social Convener Shirley Donaldson, who gave us Dogpatch Daze, our second Sadie Hawkins success, our drama club which gave us Life With Father . . . these are the things that we will remember about our senior year. Yes, it will be hard to deny the fond mem¬ ories of our high school days. And now, as we step out into fur¬ ther education, be it in the scholastic field or business world, may it be with sure footing, and a concrete knowledge and confidence that we have received the best foundation in citizenship that is possible. 21 GRADUATES Four things a man must learn to do If he would make his record true: To think without confusion clearly; To love his fellow-men sincerely; To act from honest motives purely; To trust in God and Heaven securely. —Henry Van Dyke.

The position of President seemed at first to present overwhelming difficulties, but the kind understanding and encouragement shown was something which will be remembered in the years to come. It was my good fortune to have elected with me, a capable executive and a sincere council a fact which helped to settle some of my qualms at an early date. Although the social events of the year did not receive a great deal o { interest from the student body the functions which were successful appeared to be appreciated by those who attended them. A great deal of credit for the success with which students affairs were carried on should be given to our advisers Mr. Garlough and Mr. Waddell for their wise and encouraging counselling, to Mr. Levy for is competent management of the school bank and to M r. Edwards for his able direction of crest sales. When those of you who will comprise the senior class of 1953 take ove the leadership, I feel certain that it will go into very capable hands, hand; which will strive to make V.C.H.S. without a doubt, the eminent high school o Edmonton. And so, to your our successors, may I wish the best of luck in you - school work and enterprises in the years ahead. WALTER MUIR 58 STUDENTS COUNCIL EXECUTIVE wee mo i£MODf$ S£U?£r tRY 6 f m mfiAC.

Social Convenor was Shirley Donaldson with a committee consisting of Shirley Costello, Ernie Wynychuk, Bob MacEachran and Mike Chykaliuk. The committee was in charge of refreshments, music, decorations, ticket sales and general functioning of all Social functions in the year. Giving the girls a change to pursue the males, the November Sadie Hawkins ' Dance was a grand success with attendance close to one thousand. Heart ' s Hop in February consisted of a movie in the auditorium and a dance in the White Building Gym. The movie featured Louis Armstrong and gave an account of the growth of jazz in New Orleans and Chicago. Brawn ' s Bounce, a skating party and Kalico Kapers, the Spring Dance, were cancelled due to lack of interest on the part of the students. 61 Qdt ' lon Tteen REG ' D TOGS = From Woodward ' s Togs to take you everywhere in your bustling, busy life!

Argosy under the editorship of Casey Skakun and his associate Margaret Wilson had one of its biggest years. Much of the success was due to the many new departments and features incorporated in the Argosy. Under Features, Out of The Morgue was highly entertaining con¬ sisting of jokes, quips and humorous satire from Argosys dating back as far as ten years. In the third edition a popularity contest was the highlight. As there hadn ' t been one for a number of years it was a new and novel idea to many students. The Christmas issue of the Argosy was unique in that the front page was set up with a super-imposed Christmas scene. Viewpoints under the Art Department added a very humorous note to the paper, depicting in comedy, sketches and characterizations many sides of school life. The Guest Editorial and letters to the editor were the two changes on the editorial page. For the Guest Editorial an ex-Vicite, who had achieved success, was invited to write an editorial. These writings were all varied but were found extremely interesting. Sports, as usual, were given complete coverage but this year Houseleague activities were given more attention, which they deserved. 65 m ASSURES BETTER COOKING- ICMHWESTERN UTILITIES, LTD.

YEARPLAY Life With Father, the Drama Club ' s Year Play presentation on March 13, 14 and 15 in the auditorium, maintained the high standard of dramatic success as set by I Remember Mama of 1950-51. The three performances of the family comedy of the 1880 ' s were sparkling gay with a fast moving humor and homey touch. The play revolved around the amusingly hectic life of the Day ' s mother, father and four lively boys. Mother, or Vinnie, was troubled with the fact that Father had never been baptized and Father, or Clare, had his troubles in Vinnie ' s lack of business sense, incompetent maids and Vinnie ' s visiting country cousin, Cora. Romance was provided in the attraction between Cora ' s travelling companion, Mary Skinner, and the oldest Day boy, Clarence. The cast was one of excellent characterizations. Ron Jones, as hot¬ headed but kindly Father, gave an excellent and understanding performance. Vinnie, as played by Barbara Garrett, was spirited and Art Williams, Bruce Donald, George Parkes and Diane Kirkham as the four boys were highly amusing. Arlene Howarth as Mary and Daphne McLean as Cora were excellent, both possessing a fine flair for comedy. A novel note this year in regard to the set was a ceiling which provided an excellent sound box. The costumes were highly colorful and true to the bustle era. The play was under the direction of Vic ' s drama teacher Miss A. Mitchell, assisted by Margaret Wilson. 69 Training and experience in leader¬ ship are two of the most valuable assets you can possess, no matter what lifetime career you select. You may obtain both training and exper¬ ience as a leader under a new plan whereby the Canadian Army is training young men with Junior Matriculation as Officers in the Active Force. WhenYou Graduate from Victoria Composite High Here is a Challenge and OPPORTUNITY If accepted you begin training at Camp Borden as an Officer Cadet to qualify as a Second Lieutenant in the Active Force. You will receive Second Lieutenant ' s pay while in training. When you are granted a commission you will then serve for periods of 3, 4, or 5 years as you choose under the Short Service Commission Plan. At the end of this service you may apply for a permanent commission. BUT there is challenge in the standards you must meet—in the courses you take and pass before you can qualify for a commission. AND, there is opportunity in the privilege of leading Canada ' s soldiers at home and abroad. To qualify you must be: —Single— Physically fit—Between 18 and 25 years of age and have a Junior Matriculation or Equivalent Educa¬ tional Standard.

Under the direction of Mr. E. T. Nepstad, the 1951-52 V.C.H.S. Glee Club had a successful year of varied musical presentations. The Glee Club helped to stimulate the interest of students in choral singing, giving them training in public performances and training in a variety of music. The repertoire of the Glee Club included many different musical selections ranging from sea chanties and spirituals to excerpts from light operettas. Besides performing at Lits, the club of fifty mixed members had two highlighted public appearances. In December of 1951, they gave a concert for the “New Canadians and at Christmas appeared for the first time in Rotary Carol Festival. The debut was highly successful with the presenta¬ tion of a cleverly arranged medley of Christmas Carols. The club met each Monday and Thursday at 3:30 in the Music Room for rehearsals.

The main object of the orchestra was to give every member experience in playing with other musicians in a full-scale orchestra and in appearing before the public. This year, besides the classics and old favorites, the orchestra branched into a new field of music, the modern type, including the rhumba and samba. Some of their highly successful arrangements in this field were Deep Purple, Siboney, and On the Trail. The orchestra gave many enjoyable performances at the Lits and in December gave a program for the New Canadians, night school students Their most important presentation was the playing of the intermission music at the Vic Year Play.

One of the most popular and successful extra-curricular activities at Vic this year was houseleague sports. Once again the boys were divided into four ' ' houses ' ' with each house supporting a junior team, consisting of Grade 10 and 11 boys and a senior team representing the grade twelves of that house. House Three won senior football honors while House One took the junior league championship. House One came out on top of the senior basketball setup. House Three finished first in the junior loop. When volleyball commenced a league was formed in each grade. The purpose of this was to have the boys compete against players more on their own level. House One won the Grade Twelve division, House Four the Grade Eleven and House Three the Grade Ten. The success of the league was greatly attributed to the enthusiastic turn-out of the boys who were interested. Awards for outstanding work in houseleague were presented to two members of each league. Ernie Wynychuk and Roy Matsuba were recipients of these awards in senior football. Pat Clooney and Arnie Hall received junior football awards. Awards for senior basketball went to Ian McDonald and Ernie Wynychuk while Russ Marusyk and Dick Flynn received junior league high honors. 87 First Row: Marilyn Moore, Diane Cload, Tommy Raymond, Olga Mendryk, Gay Hargreaves, Lillian Bock.

The Victoria Composite Senior A Girls ' Team of ' 51-52 finished the season with four wins, one tie, and seven losses. The A girls, coached by Mr. Clare Hollingsworth, had a difficult time during the twelve game home and home series. Heartbreakers such as 17-16 and 15-13 kept the team from being a close second to Eastwood. Playing in the Provincial playoffs at the McDougall gym, the Senior A ' s were eliminated by Eastwood 34-25. Although the Seniors did not finish on top, they played gallantly lacking only that extra touch that makes a championship team. 88 GIRLS ' SENIOR B BASKETBALL First Row: Mabel Easterby, Gwen Dalmr, Eleanora Demchuk, Madeline Dosen, Daphne McLean, Shirley Mitchell. Second Row: Lucy Collison, Mr. J. Allen, Coach; Mary Hubic, Kathy Gumas, Miss R. Anderson, Coach; Kay Bordian. Vic was well represented in the inter-school basketball league this year with four teams participating. For the first time, a senior B girls ' team competed in the senior loop. Miss R. Anderson and Mr. J. Allen coached the girls, who ended the season with five wins, five losses and one tie game to their credit. Eleanor Demchuk, the team ' s high scorer, also captained the team. The appearance of the girls on the floor was enhanced by their smart new white and red uniforms. These girls are to be congratulated on the fine showing they made this year, especially since the majority of the girls had not previously played in the high school league. 89 First Row: Alice Stogryn, Jean Mooney, Maureen Birmingham, Marie Cassios, Kay Ward, Lorraine Bawus. Second Row: Betty Lysyk, Marjorie Wozney, Marjorie Leng, Miss M. Irwin, Edna Petrow, Robin Saul, Margaret Currie. The Junior A Girls finished the basketball season with 4 wins and 6 losses to their credit. The team which was capably coached by Miss E. Irwin was presented with new white and red uniforms, courtesy of the Students ' Union. Although they did not fare as well as Scona and Westglen juniors, the Vic aggregation showed much promise and lived up to the fighting Vic tradition. During the regular schedule, the girls played good basketball and will strive for higher laurels in high school competition as seniors next year. 90 GIRLS ' JUNIOR B BASKETBALL First Row: Barbara Read, Sonia Stefance, Shirley Basler, Margaret Ryan, Laurie Ketiuk. Second Row: Lil Bordian, Francis Manyk, Emily Melech, Miss C. Macintosh, Marjorie May, Jean Moskuwich, Ann Eliot. Absent: Marjorie Derbyshire. A new idea in the line of girls ' basketball was the formation of a junior B team. This was made possible by the numerous girls who came to the ore-season practices. Coached by Miss Macintosh, the team had more losses than wins when they finished the season, for most of the girls on the team had not had too much previous basketball experience. The girls are to be commended on the good sportsmanship displayed by each and every club. Bright red uniforms added sparkle to the appearance of these girls. Fran Manyk, Emily Melech, Jean Moskuwich, Barbara Read, and Marg Ryan were the mainstays of the uncaptained team. Much valuable experience was gained during the year and has helped provide valuable material for next year ' s senior teams. 91 SCHOOL JEWELLERY Pins - Rings - Medals Trophies - Shields Illustrations and Prices Free Upon Request CONGRATULATIONS TO THE 1952 GRADS BIRKS JEWELLERS Jasper at 104th Street Edmonton YOUR SAFEWAY STORE 92 TRACK AND FIELD Sue Utendale, Geraldine Boyd, Lucy Collison, Lenore Chaney. For the second straight year, the Victoria Composite Girls ' Track team captured the Carleton Bros. Cup in the Provincial Interscholastic Track and Field Meet held in Athabasca last fall. The Victoria entrants obtained the greatest number of points in the intermediate section to win the cup. Lenore Chaney and Sue Utendale, two grade twelve students who were on the champion 1950 track team, placed second and third respectively in the 60 and 100 metres dashes. Both girls were on the winning relay team which tied their previous record of 1950. Two promising young speedsters, Geraldine Boyd and Lucy Collinson, completed the Vic roster. The two girls were members of the relay squad while Lucy also came second in the 80 metres hurdles. The team ' s new record should firmly establish Victoria Composite ' s posi¬ tion in track and field supremacy. 93 BOYS ' SENIOR FOOTBALL First Row: Bill Romaniuk, Jim Shipka.

Vic ' s ' 51- ' 52 senior team, once again under the guiding hands of Jack Allen and Steve Mendryk, looked good in the season ' s opener, but, like the Senior Eskimos, it just wasn ' t their year. Early injuries and new regulations regarding extra-curricular activities crippled the team considerably. Although many positions were occupied by former standouts, a number of freshmen were seen on the field who added an extra shot of life to the squad. The season opener this year featured a round robin with each team playing one another for a twelve minute period. Vic showed well here and took three out of four, loosing only to Eastwood. However, during the league games their average wasn ' t quite so high, so they placed third in the final standings with Scona on top and Eastwood a very close second. 94 BOYS ' JUNIOR FOOTBALL Front Row: Harry Goldberg, Leigh McMillan, Frank Lycan, Mr. R.

Finishing second in league standing, Vic ' s Junior Rugby team was credited with 3 wins in the 3 league and 1 exhibition games they played Losing only to Eastwood, who went on to win the championship, they were victorious over Westglen and Sep in league games, and trounced Varsity in an exhibition endeavour. The squad was very well coached by Pete (Moose) Melnychuk and Mr. Routledge. A big reason for the team ' s success was the early morning prac¬ tices called by Moose, for 7:00 a.m. As the schedule got underway, Vic got off to a good start, defeating Sep by a 16-0 score. In this game, touchdowns went to Marusyk, Utendale and Hank Yousefowich, who also scored with a convert. The next game saw them stopped 10-0 by Eastwood in a game played at Clarke Stadium. In their last league game, Vic edged Westglen 5-0. It was Vic ' s Walter Davies who came up with the only touchdown of this game. Victory was easy as the team breezed to a 35-0 win over Varsity in an exhibition game played at Varsity. Russ Marusyk led the onslaught, scoring one touchdown and kicking 5 converts. Other touchdowns were credited to Sokil, McDonald, Green, Noble and Greeves. 95 Recreation Bowling Academy To the Pupils of Victoria Composite A sincere thank you for your consideration and patronage during the past school term.

After going through the regular season with only one defeat (that to Scona), the Senior A basketballers, under the capable coaching of Mr. Arnold Henderson, did the next best thing to winning the provincial crown; that was to lose two out of three games to the Raymond Comets, the south- central champions, from southern Alberta. The city finals brought together Vic and Eastwood. This was a best of three series. Vic took the first game easily, but the second game was salvaged by Ken Kirsh, whose two baskets in the overtime period gave Victoria the city title. Raymond, the winners of the south, played Red Deer for the south- central championship and swamped them in two straight. The first provincial championship game, at the 24-minute mark, Vic¬ toria trailed by double their own score. Then the boys from Edmonton settled down and at successive intervals roared in on the Raymond basket to come with an ace of beating them. The final score was 49-46. Down one game, the Vicites came back strong, and won the second game 45-43. The third game winner was the Provincial Champs and Raymond decisively beat Victoria 55-36. Raymond were also last year ' s provincial titlists. .97 BOYS ' JUNIOR A BASKETBALL Front Row: Hank Yousefowich, Ken Usher, Jim Ostrowerka, Allan Johnson. Second Row: Bill Kay, Mel Wyne, Jim Shipka, Mr. Allan, coach; Lome Day, Jim Plasteras, Karl Jennings. Under the able coaching of Mr. Allen, with assistance from Mr. Hender¬ son and Mr. Routledge, the Vicites pushed aside all competitors to capture the provincial Senior B Championship for the first time. The boys this year, powered by two grade tens—Jim Ostrowerka and Hank Yousefowich— with able assistance from a couple of grade twelves—Jim Plasteras and Allen Johnson—went through the regular schedule without a defeat. They also won all their semi-final and final games. Wins against Eastwood Senior B —for the city title, Lacombe—for the northern Alberta title, Innisfail— for the north-central title, and Jefferson for the provincial title, were chalked up by this fast stepping Vic team. In Exhibition games during the regular season, the provincial Champs won four out of six, beating Eastwood twice, St. Joes, and Lacombe but losing twice to Scona Senior A ' s by close scores.

Second Row: Don Currie, Bill Roy, Jim Gilfillan, Bud Smith, Roland Cook, Ernie Ewasuik, Dennis Luchkovich. Although the B ' s did not come through with the championship as the Juniors of the two previous years have, several of the aggregation displayed promising prospects. John Shastal, captain, was the only player of last year ' s team to reappear in Junior colors. Mr. R. Routledge managed the team, while Roland Cook and Jim Gil¬ fillan offered helpful advice as coaches. The league was evenly balanced producing numerous close scores. Among these were Vic 31—Scona 32, and Vic 33—Varsity 32. In the second half of the schedule it appeared as if the squad was head¬ ing for the finals. In the last game of the year, hapless Eastwood capne from behind in the fourth quarter to eke out a close win by a 35-33 score. This was the fatal game, knocking Vic from further league play. 99 10652- 101st STREET SEE! We ' re Your Neighbours THU NORTHERN DRAFTING Ml) BLUE PRIST • - - — CO. LTD.

The Vic Boxing and Wrestling Club once again under the capable supervision of Doctor Willis and Mr. Yusep enjoyed a successful year. However no city tournament was held and as a result no champions were declared. Although there was a lack of interest because of this fact, some of the members did well outside of school competition. They were Frank Lycan and Wilf Greaves who fought in city amateur boxing cards, nd Keith Jirsch who took provincial honors in the grunt and groan game. Mike Chykaliuk, who for the past few years has been one of Vic ' s best amateur wrestlers and this year turned professional, assisted Doctor Willis in the coaching effort. 101 Herb Olson, Mickey Garlough, Mr. E. Garlough, coach; Ken Laubman, Bob Bocock. This school year, 1951-52, marked one of the most successful years of curling in the history of Victoria High. Every city high school championship up for competition was won by a Vic rink skipped by Herb Olson. In early December, Olson, Mickey Garlough, Ken Laubman and Bob Bocock formed a rink, skipped by Olson, and won in the Christmas holidays the Irving Kline Trophy, emblematic of the city high school curling cham¬ pionship. This same group entered the provincial playdowns in early February and won the Northern Alberta high school curling championship without any trouble. The boys then went to Calgary, where they lost a heart-breaking game, the provincial championship, and a trip to New Brunswick, to a rink from southern Alberta. Olson then combined with Bob Bocock, Bob McEachran and Jerry Lewis to win the Corner Drug Store Trophy, emblematic of city north side high school curling championship, by defeating Mickey Garlough of Vic, last year ' s winner, to complete an almost perfect season. 102 ; ' !?1 Wr ' W Wm ■ f ' V ; n ’ Front Row: Elaine Lehman, Jeannie Gray, Marilynn Mieske, Angeline Fedun.

The Vic group was presented with the Winter Carnival Trophy, which was also won by a Vic aggregation last year, and individual cups. The same Vic square won the Community League Championship at competitions held April 25, in the Highland Court Hall, competing against adult squares from community leagues in the city. The Champion Square is one of many which belong to the Square Dancing Club. Meeting every Thursday noon in the white gym, the Square Dancing Club has proved to be very successful in o nly two years of existence. Organized and guided by Mr. Routledge, the club now boasts over one hundred members. This year ' s executive consists of Pres. Ed Chickloski, Sec.-Treas. Marilynn Mieske, Vice-Pres. Tom Davidson, Programme Com¬ mittee, Angeline Fedun and Ed. Kostyk. Meriting a great deal of recognition are Mr. Routledge under whose guidance the club has developed so well, and Mrs. Crockett, accompanist. Congratulations also go out to the champion square for a fine performance. 103 CHEERLEADERS Claire Williscroft, Marilyn Dingle, Evelyn Webber, Lorraine Wanders, Jeannie Gray, Virginia Haines, Margaret Wilson, Joan Stewart. What school can boast of better cheerleaders than those girls who so represent Vic? Known to many as the dancing girls, the group is one of the peppiest in the school. The cheerleaders were present at over 60 games this year, including football and basketball. Guest appearances at two I its, plus cheering for the Maple Leaf juniors at several games, completes the girls ' record. Those snappy outfits were provided by the girls ' own piggy banks. Not pictured above are some of the girls who cheered for football this year: Shirley Costello, the club ' s president, until shortly after Christmas, Maxine Jacknicki, Valorie Cutler, Vivian Starko, Joyce Hunter, Verna Selover, Pat Barr, Roddy Stevenson and Valerie Maddess.
