The true chieftain has as his concern the welfare of his people and the co-ordination of his community. He must be at once the kindly father and the friendly brother. Even the meanest in his flock must feel free to come to him to seek help, encouragement and justice. Yet underneath his calm and placid surface there must be, like our Saskatchewan, something of the fibre of the stern undertow. Mr. McFarland, as, in front of your students and your staff, you were crowned with the head-dress of a chief of the Red Men, it was more than mere fun. Everyone present realized that you are and have been, indeed, the worthy chief. The things we would like to say are hard to say. Treacle spread thickly is sticky. However, now that the long trail is running out and the day of graduation draws nigh for the students of the Class ' 61, we assure you that you graduate with them and with the highest honors. And so, Sir, we salute you. We are sure that fresh trails will open before you and Mrs. McFarland and that you will find these trails rich in experience and service. We assure you, Sir, that this book and the picture of our chief will mean much to many through the years to come, and that the warmth of your personality will be matched by the warmth of the memories of those who will proudly say, as many do today, I went to Vic . —STAFF AND STUDENTS. 3 Principal ' s Message Now that I have eventually reached my graduation year, I deem it an extra-special privilege to address a few remarks to the other members of the class of ' 61. To go away back, I may observe that I came to Vic about the same time you young people came into this world. Even though that is eighteen years ago, I can still recall the thrill I experienced when I was notified by the School Board to report to Victoria High in September to teach chemistry. Needless to say, I was filled with an awe approaching fear at the prospect of coming here. During the first few years I had all of the chemistry myself; but as the department grew, I was joined by Mr. W. R. Stewart, now principal of one of our main feeder schools, Spruce Avenue. I was never happier than when roaming back and forth behind that long, black demon¬ stration bench in the chemistry room—the room located upstairs in the south-east corner of the Red Building which was the original Vic . The chemistry students and I were happy in our work; but not always so were Mr. D. L. Shortliffe and his algebra students in Room 5 directly below us. Since our water pipes were old and leaky and the ceiling of Room 5 was everything but water¬ proof, the hapless victims in the algebra classes were periodically showered when we performed a laboratory experiment over their heads. I often wish that I had kept some of the notes I received from Mr. Shortliffe during these chemistry monsoons . I like to look back over these past years and recall the names of former Vic students who have made headlines for themselves in various worthwhile fields of endeavour. I could make quite a list of such noted personages; but since most of you did not know them as students, I shall not mention their names here. I shall be content to bask in the sunshine of their glory , a reward which any dedicated teacher prizes most highly. And now, a word of advice, since this is the last chance I shall have, as the chief of this great school, to share a few words of wisdom with a group of young people who, this summer, will be leaving school and embarking on some course which we hope will lead to a happy and rewarding future. Whatever you choose to make your life work, put your whole heart and soul into it, and think more of the satisfaction you will experience from a job well done than from the material gain you will acquire. All that you do, Do with your might. Things done by halves are never done right. The following little poem written in words more apt than I can muster, is well worth read¬ ing carefully—and digesting: Somebody did a golden deed; Somebody proved a friend in need; Somebody sang a beautiful song; Somebody smiled the whole day long; Somebody thought, Tis sweet to live 1 ; Somebody said, ' I ' m glad to give ' ; Somebody fought a valiant fight; Somebody lived to shield the right; WAS THAT SOMEBODY YOU? May God bless each and every one of you; and may it be said of you as it was of Sir Christopher Wren, the architect of St. Paul ' s Cathedral: If you require a monument, look around 11 you. 5 INDIAN DAYS PEP RALLY THE CHIEF Among the activities which help to build up that intangible which we call School Spirit are Pep Rallies. One of the outstanding Rallies of the year took place on February 17th. Its purpose was to focus attention on the basket¬ ball season, which was then at its height, and it also gave an op¬ portunity to pay a tribute to our principal, Mr. McFarland. Our Redmaiden Cheerleaders went to a great deal of effort to obtain suitable Indian costumes and plan routines. They played a very essential role in providing background and color. Mr. De¬ Marco, our talented musical director, on very short notice assem¬ bled a group of student musicians to form a Pep Band. The highlight came when Mr. Ross, acting as Master of Cere¬ monies, addressed Mr. McFarland with these words: Mr. McFarland: For the past many seasons you have guided our tribe with great wisdom and foresight. You have been a warrior of great courage. At all times you have shown great sympathy and under¬ standing for our youths and maidens. You have done ail in your power to make this the greatest tribe in all the land. It is fitting that you should be made CHIEF! At this point, the Redmaidens placed the headdress of a chief on his head and Mr. McFarland became chief Wise Eagle . At that moment Chief Wise Eagle was given a prolonged and affectionate ovation by the assembled tribesmen. Happy hunting to all Redmen! Mr. Harold A. McFarland Mr. McFarland came to Edmonton from Big Valley, Alberta, where he had been principal of the school for several years. Included in his references to us was an inspector’s report which contained the following com¬ ment: the satisfactory tone of the school. The spirit is all that one could ask or desire. It is a pleasing com¬ bination of deference, courtesy and camaraderie. The pupils and staffs of Westmount, King Edward, old Tech , old Vic and the new Victoria Composite High School have all been inspired and influenced by his friendly and considerate manner. The citizens of Edmonton are deeply indebted to Mr. McFarland for thirty-three years of outstanding teaching service. In 1943 he joined the staff of Victoria High School as a successful chemistry teacher. Later he was pro¬ moted to the position of assistant principal to Mr. Hicks and at the same time became one of our first high school counsellors. To make certain that he would not be idle, he also was given the principalship of the Night School. In all these positions of responsibility he showed outstanding leadership and sound judgment. Mr. McFarland succeeded Mr. C. O. Hicks as principal. This was not an easy position to fill, as Mr. Hicks, who had been principal of old and new b Victoria High for thirty-five years, was a national figure as an educator, an administrator, and a scholar. To follow in his footsteps meant a very definite challenge that must have given Mr. McFarland many sleepless nights. His eight years as principal of one of Canada ' s most publicized Composite High Schools, however, confirmed the confidence placed in him by the Super¬ intendent and the School Board. He has by his contri¬ bution added another great figure to the history of the staff and principals of this school. As Superintendent I am very pleased, on behalf of my associates in the central office and the trustees of the Edmonton Public School Board, to express our appreciation for his many years of excellent and faith¬ ful service. May we extend to Mr. McFarland at this time our very best wishes, and to hope that the years ahead shall give him health and leisure, not only to reflect on his successful past, but to enjoy to the fullest, the years that lie before him.

His life is as interesting as any of those whose biographies he has published: Vice-Regal Cowboy Eye- Opener Bob or as interesting as characters from The Land of Twelve-Foot Davis . Our man has several firsts to his credit: he created the first academic night school in Edmonton in which he himself taught eight of the eleven courses offered; he created the first correspondence school in western Canada; he was first in Alberta to publish authorized textbooks used in Alberta schools. Our Mr. Richards was the first chairman of the Recreation Commi ssion; he was the founder and first president of the Edmonton branch of the Kinsmen Club. He was named Citizen of the Year in 1951 by the Junior Chamber of Commerce (this was in part for his and coaching of the Hi Grad Junior Rugby). He was a member of the andra Board for six years. You would enjoy knowing that when Mr Richards came west from Ontario, he attended one of the two schools in existence in Calgary. He was an assistant at Westmount, assistant principal of Oliver School, principal of the Normal Practice School in Calgary, served in the Royal Flying Corps, was Inspector of Schools in the Athabasca Inspectorate, taught and was a supervisor of art. He taught for three years in the Edmonton Tech¬ nical School. Mr. Richards has taught thirty-five years in Victoria High School and in V. C. H. S.; that is, from 1926 - 61. For the first twelve years he was in charge of Physical Training, cadets, and the coaching of various athletic teams for rugby and track. Following these, he taught general science and geography before entering the field of biology in which he is so successful today. Life has not always been plain sailing, but it has been rich, oh, so rich! A lesson from his life to us all may come: the seemingly impossible is possible if you work hard enough. If Mr. Richards goes to grass, it will be on the Mayfair Golf Course. Of making books there will be no end, for Mr. Richards has made a lasting mark in the field of literature. He has published works of Alberta authors; he has encouraged these writers thereby enriching our Alberta heritage. He has shared his knowledge for many years in the classroom; he has inspired many a stu¬ dent; he has given courage and help to many a teacher. At one time he was printing a manual of help for every subject in every grade. So you see his life is one of deeds, real and tangible. Whose high endeavours are an inward light That makes the path before him always bright. William Wordworth— The Happy Warrior sponsorship Royal Alex- W. C. RICHARDS, B.A. STAFF E. J.

RICHARDS 16 VALEDICTORY JUDY JOHNSTON I am very proud and honored to have been selected to give the valedictory on behalf of the graduating class of 1961. Tonight we are assembled to mark the completion of our studies at Vic. Until now we have been as one, following similar paths; but as we leave, we see ourselves as individuals, each with a separate pathway of aims and ideas. Commencement is a beginning. For us it is the be¬ ginning of a new and different way of life. We are go¬ ing out into the world, perhaps the business world or on to more advanced training. As we leave our rather sheltered way of life, we must go forth with ambition and initiative. Success in our respective fields will not be attained unless we make our fullest contribution in all we strive to achieve. With our goal in sight, we should like to pause to acknowledge the wonderfuj guiding forces which have painstakingly fostered our progress. To Vic . . . We are proud of you and your spirit of a game well played. You have taught us how to win and lose; how to give and take. To our Teachers ... we are indebted to you, not only for instructing us in our academic studies, but for teaching us honesty, sympathy, and responsibility. Through you we have learned to be understanding, to have trust in others, and to be self-respecting. To our Parents . . . We are grateful for your sacrifice, patience, and encouragement in urging us to sustain the desire for knowledge. From all these guiding forces we have received an excellent foundation in citizenship. We are indebted for this. We hope on our part, tnat we have in some way contributed to Vic. Our class is now graduating. True, we are depleted in numbers, but we still retain the spirit of ambition and enthusiasm that characterized us as frosh. All Graduands well remember how we entered Vic in the fall of 1958, awed by its size, and perhaps un¬ certain of what it had to offer. Now, as we depart, we appreciate the feeling of warmth and friendliness which we have experienced, not only in the classroom, but through support and participafion in clubs and activi¬ ties. It is through these extra-curricular activities and inter-scholastic sports that we have developed our talents and learned to cooperate with others. As we look back on our years at Victoria Composite, we realize these years have given us greater confidence and maturity. We have worked hard and we have ac¬ complished much, but self-satisfaction with the past is not enough for the future. In a matter of a few weeks we will meet our biggest challenge. On the final examinations we will be expect¬ ed to express, in a few hours, the accumulation of knowl¬ edge gained in twelve years. I wish each and every one of you the best, and may your hopes and dreams be fulfilled. Push on with this in mind: ... yesterday is but a dream. And tomorrow is only a vision; But today, well lived, makes Every yesterday a dream of happiness And every tomorrow a vision of hope . Our future will depend upon the courage we have to be honest and kind in thought, word, and deed. So let us go forth with fearless, unbiased minds and un¬ limited goals. 17 “WHOSO NEGLECTS LEARNINC« g«| IN HIS % YOUTH, LOSES THE PAST AND IS DEAD FOR THE FUTURE.” •• EURIPIDES 484—406 BC True in the time of the great Athenian playwright . . . and true today.

How safe I felt in my wind-proof, water-proof, bullet-proof, bomb (any kind- you name it, I have it) proof house. With my projector, I could locate anyone I thought of. The technique is simple. I just think, then rest my hand on the indicator and speaker and I know the whereabouts of anyone I have known. Then if I wish to record my findings, and my other hand is not too tired, I place the recorder at record . This I decided to do and the following is the result: PAUL GREEN has just returned from his third world tour with his famous Ukrainian Dancers. PAT HORNING now owns his own binocular factory. This is an aside from his career in physics and his law firm of Horning, Horning, Horning, and Horning. MARTHA PAWLIUK is now completing a run on Broadway. This is the fifth major play in which she has been the star. GLORIA MacIVOR has another best seller In the Light at the Bottom of the Stairs. EDWARD SIMBALIST is the president of the Univer¬ sity of Alberta. BONNIE SHONN has a fine Academy for young ladies. All instruction is given in French. BOB TOWNS, the first Canadian to go into orbit has completed his second round trip to Mars. He is setting up schools there. CLIFF MORGAN is Prime Minister of Canada. He has made a few major changes. Each office is equipped with a chess set. BRYSON MURRAY owns eight Lincolns. TERRY WRIGHT has invented a car that needs no gas, just pedals. HAL CHALMERS, the town-planning genius, has de¬ signed round street corners for the benefit of the double-length, double-decker station wagons designed by EUGENE DUB. MONICA OGG, the inventor of several exciting hair styles, has been invited to open another salon at Moon Base where the NEW MACAULEY HOTEL has been opened. MICHAEL DAVIDSON, famous composer, pianist, writer on musical topics, has constructed a pipe organ with a thousand pipes and has given it to Victoria Composite High School. ALAN FALCONER has just been invited to hang two of his paintings in the Metropolitan Museum, New York. BRUCE SELBY ' s cartoons are famous. They are in every issue of Practical English . JIM GARDINER writes novels, writes poetry, writes text books in all subjects for Alberta schools. No field is too difficult. MARA LEIMAN, the first feminine astronaut, trains other astronauts. RUTH WENZEL is the official poetess of Alberta. MIKE TODORUK, owner of a Cadillac from boyhood, has his own private jet that holds sixteen Cadillacs (all Mike ' s of course). JIM FAZACKERLEY has his very own Safeway. JIM GROCHOLSKI owns all the Dominion Stores and has for a silent but powerful partner, DALE GOUGH. DICK ARNOLD, with the help of marvellous machinery for swift digging and tunnelling (perfected by Dick and his father) have located and retrieved the fabulous treasure buried by Captain Kidd so many years ago on Oak Island off the coast of Nova Scotia. JEAN STRACHAN now sings at the Met. JUDY FLEMING is poetry editor for the Saturday Review of Literature . VIRGINIA CHICKLOSKI is the publisher and owner of a chain of newspapers. PAT JONES is a teacher and counsellor at our own Vic. In 1971, Miss Mclaggan had an automat installed in the cafeteria. SHIRLEY BROWNER has organized the necessary army of assistants to keep supplies of food ready and to keep the automat full. JACKY WARD is the world ' s fastest typist: DIANE HLASNY the world ' s most swift and most accurate taker of shorthand. JOAN CALDWELL has been thrice world champion bowler. MARGARET CRAIG in partnership with IRIS HARRI¬ SON has a million-dollar accounting business. GORDON MUIR is the leading surgery specialist at the famous Muir Clinic in Montreal. REG JACKLIN is now head of the CBC and president of the Disc Jockey ' s Association. The coach of the Boston Celtics has just been named for the season. He is Vic ' s own DOUG KRENZ. ALLAN CANDY ' s new Broadway play, The Mars Mis¬ fits was a smashing hit at its world premiere last night. The Edmonton Eskimos have had a very good season under the coaching of AL SYMINGTON. They have won the Grey Cup four years in a row. ERNIE UGANECZ has just discovered from his station on Mars a tenth planet beyond Pluto. Ernie used the highly ground telescope he began grinding away back in 1961. At this point there were several blips on my re¬ corder. This meant a call from the WINKLELAAR Asteroid to the TANASIUK Asteroid. Of necessity I had to cease my probing of the past, turn my attention to the present which called me to watch my nine by twelve-foot television screen to see how the commuter- system was working. The last time I travelled from WINKELAAR to TANASIUK it was rough. I must try it again for I see old Vicites making the trip regularly. 53 COLIN FRASER Class History-1961 Remember 1958, the year that you entered high school? That was a year of many frustrations, excite¬ ments, and the usual amount of humiliation that come with one ' s being oriented to a new way of life. And high school at Vic is a way of life quite different from any other. All the excitement and apprehension of high school came to its zenith when the fateful Frosh Day arrived—a day of sport for the seniors, and, as you were soon to discover, one of fun and the unexpected for the Frosh. Looking back, you will remember that these same seniors were led that year by Vies petticoat government . Yes, that was the year when Pat Hyduk was president of our student body; Sonia Kulka, vice-president; Lillian Ransom, Argosy editor; and our Yearbook editor was Libby Cotsman. Sports-wise, 1958 was an eventful year. Who could forget the game in which our Redmen won the city football championship? And of course everyone remembers the exciting and eventful trip to Calgary which followed this victory. Although Calgary ' s Central High team won the provincial championship, Vic ' s ever¬ present school spirit never waned for an instant. This same spirit, and a hard-working Senior Basketball Team then led us to victory in the CAPHER Tournament. And—curling fans—remember the excitement when Bil Mitchell ' s rink won the right to enter the Northern Alberta Playdowns? An excellent supporting spirit at these athletic functions was provided by the newly established Pep-Squad. The 1958-59 Students ' Union undertook the re-adoption of Kim Bong Ja, re-designed our schoo sweaters, and sponsored both Career and Club Days. Dino was the first major dramatic production presented that year. It was followed by that never-to be-forgotten year play, Teahouse of the August Moon . The third major production was one of combined music and drama forces—the musical, Meet Arizona . These productions revealed fine examples of talent, teamwork, and combined efforts of staff and students. Other social activities of that year were the Christmas concert, fashion show, and two lits. Dances of that term were the Hawkins Howl and April in Paris . The industrious leader of our student body last year was President Harry Hiller. Assisting him was Vice- President Anne Gardiner; Argosy editors: Stephen Cox and Colin Fraser; and Victorian editor, Libby Cotsman, The major production to stem from the drama department in I960 was our year play, The Male Animal . This production was followed by Fine Arts Night , a presentation which took the place of a musicale last year. It was an enjoyable evening consisting of an artwork display, various numbers from our musically inclined, and two one-act plays— Eternal Life and The Potboiler. This evening was produced and directed, in the main, by students. The fans were soon visiting various high school gymnasiums for the basketball season. And, to start the season, our Redmen again dribbled their way to win the CAPHER Tournament. Swimmers outdid themselves last year to win the Boys ' City Championship. Another hard-working fellow of I960 was the Grad President, Tom Wilson. Chairing The Students ' Union this year is president, Gary Silverman; assisted by vice-president Diane Hlasny. The editorship of the Argosy comes under the direction of Dianne Andreas and Colin Fraser. Editorship of this year ' s yearbook has been undertaken by two hard-working gentlemen, Jim Wildish and Jim Tanasiuk. Our Students ' Union of I960- ' 6I again looked after Kim Bong Ja, sold rings and pins, revised the con¬ stitution, organized Career Day, and designed new school and award sweaters. Spirits soared this year when our Senior football team won the city championship. The Senior basketball team again won the CAPHER Tournament. This same team triumphed throu gh the basketball season without a loss, earning the right to compete in the provincial finals in Lethbridge. Vic ' s Fine Arts Department presented its second annual Fine Arts Night in early April. The evening was a cooperative effort on the part of our art, music and drama classes. The two one-act plays presented that even¬ ing were Breeches From Bond Street and Dark at the Top of the Stairs . The VCHS social calendar went into full swing this term with a costumed fall dance, Frolique Frangais , and wound up with the spring dance, Pagoda Prom . Two lits, one portraying a night club and the other a house party, were well received by staff and students alike. Chosen president of the graduating class of ' 61 was the capable Dick Arnold. He and his executive guided us through the ceremonies with ease and skilful organization. Graduating with our class this year are two of the finest gentlemen you will ever know. They are, Mr. H. A. McFarland, the principal of our school since 1953, and Biology teacher Mr. W. C. Richards. We will always remember these men for the unselfish way in which they have given their time and effort to guide us through our high school years. And now, with three years of training and character building behind us, the time for leaving school has arrived. What now is our new objective? Whatever the choice, we know that VCHS has prepared us well. The future now rests in our hands. Good Luck! 54 NON-GRAD BOYS Row I: Doug Morris, Bob Bissell, Dave Williams, Ted Chernyk, John Dennis, Mr. Olsonberg, Don Cook, Dennis Stimson, Gram Walls, Bill Taylor, Peter Csiky.

Ma cousine et moi avons quitte Edmonton e juin. Nous sommes allees au Mexique par avion. Les Mexicains sont tres differents des Canadiens. Presqu personne ne parle anglais. La langue du Mexique est I ' espagnol. Les rues sont sales et la nourriture est tre epicee. La musique mexicaine est gaie et j ' aime bien lecouter. Le climat est chaud et sec sauf pendant saison des pluies. On y cultive beaucoup de fruits et beaucoup de legumes delicieux. LA BETE—SHIRLEY CUNNINGHAM La bete m ' a regardee avec ses grands yeux. J ' ai commence a courir, mais la bete m a rattrapee. J a eu peur quand elle a leve sa patte pour me trapper. Tout a coup la porte s ' est ouverte et une jeune fille es entree dans la salle. Elle a chasse le chat de la s lle. Vous me demandez, Pourquoi vous enfuyez-vous loii d ' un petit chat? Vous comprenez maintenant que je suis une souris. MEMOIRES DE VICTORIA COMPOSITE—PETER FEHLER L ' annee passee j ' ai eu beaucoup d ' experiences differentes a Victoria Composite. Je peux fierement oi avec regret regarder en arriere mes accomplissements scolaires. Je me souviens d ' evenements sportifs avec bonheur. Aussi resterai-je fidele au souvenir de mes amis qui ont partage mes amusements et mes desap pointements. A cause de ces souvenirs je n ' oublierai jamais Vic. LE PREMIER JOUR—KNOWLDEEN McGREEVEY Ma premiere journee a Victoria Composite etait une journee d ' adaptation penible. A cause de mor choix de legons, je me suis trouvee dans une salle pleine de gargons, sauf moi! Naturellement, j ' ai demande a etre transferee dans une autre classe. Apres avoir obtenu mon transfert, j ' ai commence a chercher la directrice qui a pu me mettre dans une meilleure classe. Personne ne pourvait m ' indiquer le bureau de la directrice. J ' ai erre longtemps dans les halls. Enfin j ' ai trouve la directrice qui m ' a aidee. J ' ai ete heureuse quand ma premiere journee s ' est terminee. VICTORIA COMPOSITE—HANS GOHL Victoria Composite est I ' un des plus grands lycees d ' Edmonton. Environ mille trois cents eleves vont a cette ecole et une soixantaine de professeurs y enseignent. On nous enseigne beaucoup de matieres telles que les mathematiques, les sciences, I ' histoire, les travaux manuels, le dessin, la musique, le frangais et beaucoup d ' autres. J ' aime bien le frangais parce qu ' il est assez facile et tres interessant. Nous avons appris bien des choses sur la France et les Frangais. Les eleves de notre lycee aiment bien les sports et on joue souvent au foot¬ ball, au basket, et au volleyball. J ' aime bien Victoria Composite parce que les professeurs sont en relation d ' amitie avec leurs eleves et que j ' y compte beaucoup d ' amis. LES GRANDES VACANCES—MARGARET STACEY Les heures d ' etude sont finies. Une autre annee scolaire a passe, et les grandes vacances sont venues encore une fois. Les eleves de Vic passeront les grandes vacances de bien des fagons. Par exemple, quelques eleves travailleront et gagneront de I ' argent; d ' autres voyageront pendant les grandes vacances. Quelques-uns resteront chez eux. Peut-etre joueront-ils au tennis, ou se promeneront-ils a cheval, en auto, ou feront-ils du canotage. Que ferez-vous? 90 President ' s Message Once again our school year is coming to an end. It is time to reflect upon the events of the past ten months, the joyous and the disheartening. Throughout the year, Vic students have been distinguishing themselves in inter¬ scholastic competition; now is the time to win distinction in the academic field. This year, again, the big news in the first term was football; the Senior Football Team lost the city champion¬ ship in the final play-off series by a very narrow margin. The big winners this year, repeating their last year ' s per¬ formance, were the Junior and Senior Basketball Teams. The Juniors, losing their first league game, went on to win the city championship for the second consecutive time. The Seniors won all their games, took the C.A.P.H.E.R. tournament for the third consecutive year, set a points scored record and won the city championship for the second consecutive time, but lost the battle for the Provincial Championship. Other competitions in which Vic fared well were table tennis, swimming, badminton, chess and checkers, and track and field. However, all is not sports at Vic. Under the direction of the Assemblies Board, students prepared two excel¬ lent literaries . This year ' s Fine Arts Night proved conclusively that Vic produces good show people as well as athletes and students. The fall dance, Frolique Frangais, and the spring dance, Pagoda Prom, were well received and attended. Career Day again was a success with well over fifty career topics being offered to interested students. This year an old club was revived, the Junior Red Cross Club, and with the various other clubs, students had a wide selection from which to choose. This year, under the instruction of Mr. Hohol, water safety and life saving courses were offered. Throughout the year, the Students ' Council was busy revising the Constitution, selecting a new red-white color combination for school sweaters, and dealing with a thousand-and-one details that demand attention. Our Students ' Union says a hearty Thank You to Mr. Waddell and Mr. Sheppard who gave advice and help to the Council and Executive. I, personally, thank the Students ' Council who gave my executive and me their complete co-operation, and in the name of the entire student body, extend to Mr McFarland, on the eve of his retirement, our sincerest wishes that he may enjoy many years free of the burdens and anxieties attendant upon the high office of Chief Admini¬ strator of our school. 91 GARY SILVERMAN FERN MAYES DIANE HLASNY mi j Vice-President MARGARET CRAIG Secretary Students ' Union ' 1 s i I l ;, M f i n v Jr ’ ELIZABETH MARKLE SUSANNE STEPHENS Assemblies Board Representative MIKE DZWINIEL Executive DARWIN SEMOTIUK Athleti ic Board Representative MARGARET McARTHUR Grade 12 Representative MR.

It takes place in a small town in Oklahoma in the early 1920 ' s. It is a play based on emo¬ tions and ideas. Its intention was to show a problem and raise a question rather than entertain and amuse.

Students who are sufficiently interested in singing are being enrolled in the Choral Music Classes. This year, because of small enrolment, no ambitious performances were undertaken. The school chorus did participate, however, in the Christmas Concert and in the Fine Arts Night. In addition a small group went caroling at the hospitals. It is hoped that, when the classes are built up to sufficient size, Vic will once again put on its Musicals. INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC In its first year the Instrumental music program has been a success at Victoria Composite High School. The first year classes were small in number but enormous in talent. The students proved this by their excellent performances at the Christmas show and the Fine Arts Night. This determination by the students and the harmonious co-operation of the Fine Arts department assures us better musical productions for the future.

Its members spend much time making posters and show case displays for school activities. It aims to keep our students and staff art conscious by exhibiting the work of local artists and by displays of stu¬ dent art. Officially the club meets twice a week in the art room where members have the opportunity to pursue their own art projects. Those members who appear in the accompany¬ ing picture are Irene Eslinger, Rowena Bowen, Elaine Darn- brough, Roberta Slifka, John Edge, Alan Falconer and Myer Rabinovitz. EATON’S OF CANADA . . .

The high¬ est awards in the school are the Citizenship Awards. These are the C. O. Hicks award for boys and the J. P. Page award for girls, presented to two grade XII students on the basis of their services to the school during their high school years. Academic awards are given for outstanding achievement in th e curricular work. An Academic Award is presented to students having obtained an average of 80% or more on the Christmas and Easter reports. The Special Award (Services and Abili¬ ties) recognizes special service to the school, and also superior ability or creative work in the fields of Industrial Arts, Home Economics, Business Education, and Fine Arts. The Tom Davies Memorial Trophy is awarded to the boys of the intramural sports group obtaining the highest number of trophy points as allocated in the awards system. The trophy includes all organized houseleague competitions. The Athletic Major Award recognizes those players of outstanding ability who have played on teams in interscholastic competition. The award is an eight inch white chenille V which is worn on the Awards Sweater. The Athletic Minor Award, a four-inch V , is for those players on any interscholastic team who have been ex¬ cellent players, but who have not qualified for the Athletic Major Awards. The Activities Awards (major and minor) are considered as special awards for outstanding contribution to the school activities, including both cultural and athletic administration. The Major Award includes activities such as lead parts in high-calibre plays and musicals and other comparable activities. Outstanding work on any publication, ad¬ ministrative and executive efforts connected with the Students Council, and house- league and club activities involving interscholastic participation are also included. The Activities Minor Award is intended to give recognition to students of notice¬ able merit in the above fields. The Major and Minor Activities Awards are red Old English V ' s eight inches and four inches in height respectively. Winners of Academic or Special Pins, and Activity or Athletic crests, are quali¬ fied to buy Award Sweaters. The pins and chenilles must be worn on sweaters only. Boys who have participated on championship school teams, either city or provincial, may purchase Championship Jackets. Awards winners receive recognition of demonstrated capacity for all phases of leadership, academic and citizenship skills. These young people, the school believes, are the adult leaders of tomorrow. 1960 Citizenship Award JOHN HUMPHREYS ANNE GARDINER fT J r - ?

They are people who are not officially en¬ rolled on the job; hence they do not have their pic¬ tures in the yearbook. Nevertheless, they are by force of circumstances or by order of the staff ad¬ viser, frequently joed to do all sorts of things in connection with the yearbook. Typing classes in Room 228 provided many such unsung heroes — and heroines. They typed countless pages of text, proof-read endless lists of graduands, checked and labelled pictures by the hundreds. There were too many of these unsung heroes to be listed on this page. But we hope they will read this and accept our sincerest thanks for their very valuable and much-appreciated assistance. —Publications Board.

But there ' s another humble gate, A wicket green and low, That leads to wide and pleasant fields, Where long cool grasses grow. The Apostles stand at the gates of pearl, But, by this gate of green, He Who created both man and beast, The Lord ' s dear Self, is seen. He calls to His creatures to enter in, And opens the wicket wide And the poor things when they hear His voice, Flock through to the other side. Tired horses and mangy cats, And poor lost dogs are there; And little birds once cramped and caged, Come singing through the air. Fair is that city of golden streets. With the gates of pearl flung wide But let me come through the little green gate, And stand by my Master ' s side. —Creative writing class. 122 BOYS ' SPORTS —RALF ROHRLACK So close; yet so far away. This describes Victoria ' s Senior Football team ' s bid for the elusive city high school title. Though the Red and White power plant lost the first two games to St. Joseph High and Bonnie Doon High respectively, a comeback to attain second place standing gave the team a chance to play in the final championship. Once again Victoria ' s opponents were the Saints from St. Joseph. Power plays of all types kept the scoring fairly even. But the Saints came out on top by one point mar¬ gin, excluding the Redmen from attaining the silver cup. The Junior Redmen and their coaching staff did their utmost to attain to the football championship of the city, but they were met by tough competition (and a little bad luck). However, third place is next to second and only twice removed from first and the Juniors made sure it was theirs. Both junior and senior basketbaliers had tremen¬ dous success. Vic Senior Redmen had a straight twelve- game-win, no-loss season. One of the games fought in the semi-finals was against Ross Sheppard, who did their best to wipe out the Redmen. But the Red and White team was not easily beaten and went on to the finals where they defeated Eastglen. With fourteen games in the bag, Victoria Redmen went to Lethbridge to collect the Provincial Championship trophy. With about two hundred Vic fans in attendance, the Redmen defeated Calgary Western High for the right to meet the Lethbridge Collegiate Institute team who had de¬ feated Red Deer previously. Though the Vic team fought to the last second of fhe game, Lethbridge out- scored them by a six-point margin. The score: 60-54. The Junior Basketball Team and coaches had a great season. They won the City Championship title by defeating Ross Sheppard in a hard fought battle. Another first was attained by Victoria Boys ' Swim¬ ming Team. Gary Silverman, teamed with Jim Whit¬ field, Laverne Schiller and Don Halabisk , shattered the 100-yard free-style relay time. Gary also set a new record mark in the 100-yard individual medley relay. Victoria took the boys ' aggregate trophy. The swim¬ mers were coached by Harry Hohol. Congratulations to all coaches, players and Vic fans for a tremendous, successful season. 124 Row I: Russ Oginski, Jim Chartrand, John Dennis, Ed Stasyshyn, Eugene Protz, Bob Sharp, Gordon Cunningham, Barry Coates.

GIRLS ' SPORTS School was well underway when the announcement came out that tryouts for positions on the senior and junior volleyball teams would start. The final selection of the teams had to be made before the first Tuesday in November, for this was to be the start of the four-week volleyball tournament. Congratulations go to the senior team, which was coached by Miss Fisher and co-captained by Sylvia Lohin and Rosalie Fisher, for winning the city championship, winning ten out of twelve games. Although the juniors, coached by Miss Epton, and captained by Diane Chmilar, didn ' t do quite as well as the seniors, they did, nevertheless, make a good showing. After the Christmas holidays, the basketball season commenced. Tryouts were held every Tuesday and Thursday after school and Friday at noon, until the final team members were chosen. Miss Epton was the seniors ' coach, while Pat Spot and Sylvia Lohin were the co-captai ns. After many close and hard fought games, the senior team finally landed in third place. The all-frosh junior basketball team was coached by Miss Fisher. As their co-captains, the members chose Diane Chmilar and Judy Wright. The juniors were successful in winning the championship in their division. They then went on to defeat Ross Sheppard in the city semi-finals, but suf¬ fered defeat at the hands of St. Mary ' s during the finals. The result was that they had to settle for second place. Since this year’s all-frosh team is quite strong, next year ' s senior team is sure to be a champion.

This fact, however, is not giving me a swelled head because I know the reason for this sudden popularity. You see, last Mon¬ day, I became the owner of a 1961 Chevrolet Impala convertible. I won this neat little bundle of bolts at a car bingo. It is the only thing I have ever won, and now I have ruined it. But let me tell you about it. I won the car on Monday and by Tuesday I was almost suffocated by the attentive stu¬ dents who were, all of a sudden, my friends. Well, I must admit, that for a while I thought, They ' ve finally realized that I ' m a pretty fair person. But I soon snapped to when I began to notice the odd hint that I could do some of my friends a terrific favor by driving them home from school. This I did for several days, and then I finally put my foot down . I was driving the car at the time and there was a sudden explosive burst of speed. Well, I did it! I got out and viewed my car with disgust for myself. I had rammed very nicely into a tele¬ phone pole—the silly Thing. I remember mus¬ ing, in my sadistic mind, what a symmetrical job I had done of it for I had hit the pole squarely in the middle of the grill of the car. In any event, the auto repair man said that he would have to replace the grill and a few other parts whose names meant nothing to me. But the change in my once-upon-a- time friends is rather amusing. It seems that now that I have no mode of transportation, all they can afford to do is give me a half¬ smile in the hall corridors. That, however, is the least of my worries, because I have one other big problem: how am I going to pay for the car repairs? —VIRGINIA CHICKLOSKI. Freedom Of Expression Opinion is a belief stronger than impression and less strong than positive knowledge. In our society we are encouraged to express our beliefs and impressions providing that they are within the boundaries of the law. We have the privilege of attending the church of our choice. We are allowed to vote in public elections for whom we please and we are allowed to write and to speak about whatever we wish. The majority of the people use these freedoms gratefully and accept them without question. But, there are some people who take advant¬ age of all these rights. For example, the big business man who will not allow the small store next to him to operate. He sets his prices lower and lower so that the little man is forced to quit. There is really very little that Mr. Small can do about it. Mr. Big ' s actions are entirely within the limits of the law, but do they agree with the basis of our freedoms? Mr. Big was using his freedom of expression but he took advantage of someone else who did not have the power to express himself. ALAN FALCONER Let us suppose that Mr. Small had started to fight for his rights. Mr. Big probably would have tried to buy him out or he would have tried to sue Mr. Small for some trivial rea¬ son. The result of Mr. Small ' s courage would very probably have been his own destruction. The freedom of expressing oneself is truly one of the strangest rights. One is allowed to voice his opinions only if they agree with the majority or with the opinions of a powerful person. Many great events have happened because a few people had the courage to differ from the majority. For ex¬ ample, Columbus discovered America, the Wright brothers invented a flying machine , Martin Luther established a new religion, and Henry Ford invented a horseless carriage ; this mentions only a few. All of these people were met with severe criticism and opposition. Some were put in prison, others were taunted and stoned, and some were declared insane. The cour¬ age of such men never failed. They all believed in themselves so earnestly that no one could discourage them. We should use our freedom of expression and opinion and be thankful for it. Many people in this world cry for this right but they are denied. One should never be discouraged if the majority does not agree with him. If people did not dis¬ agree there would be very few new ideas and rights. A person should not be afraid to express an opinion he believes because that expression is his right. —Vickie Hrabec. 137 TIME MACHINE GIRL SEES ORIGINAL GLOBE After inventing my time machine, I did something I have always wanted to do. I closed the door behind me, turned the dial back several hundred years, I pushed the starter, and set the country at England , the city London. Then, there I was, directly in front of the Globe Theatre. Above the door I saw the builder ' s name in gold letters— William Burbage. To the left was a placard, Macbeth, today only, starring James Burbage, groundlings not admitted here. I walked in, hoping they would give me the benefit of the doubt. I paid my money and began the ascent of the stairs. I sat with some pompous Elizabethans; the aroma up there was slightly improved. The play was not due to begin for several minutes, so I made a thorough survey of the theatre. To my relief, I found a roof above me. The people who were gathered around the stage were a miserable-looking lot. I don ' t suppose they would have agreed with me. My, what language they used! They were drinking, carousing, and dancing in pecu¬ liar fashion. There was no roof over their heads. Many were sitting on the cold damp ground. I had a good look at the stage. It was half-moon in shape, with a ramp built at the front. There were no curtains and there were only a few minor props. There was a trap door in the floor (for devils, I suppose). There was a little room on the stage. I guessed that would be used for a prison room or, in the case of Romeo and Juliet”, for a love scene from the balcony. The actors were finally on the stage. The play had begun. The actors looked very much like the people sitting around me. The costumes were obviously of the day. The ac- coustics were poor. Although the actors seemed to be annunciating loudly, it was difficult to catch every word. I cast my eyes on the groundlings for a moment. To my utter surprise, most of them had their backs to the stage! They were visiting! The play carried on. Burbage made a wonderful Macbeth. The acting, however, did not compare with the television production. The play seemed extremely long. More than three hours. Afternoon was extending into night. There were no lights. In the dusk, the play finally ended. I had planned to return to 1961 and good old Vic, but someone had stolen my machine! Alas! —MONICA OGG. MAX MELNYK 138 GREEN HILLS OF EARTH The field is clear; the charts all seen; The locks clang shut; the lights wink green; The check-off ' s done, then it ' s time to pray When the Captain nods, and she blasts away— The starry void is calling Spacemen back to their trade. Stand by, all hands. Free falling! And the lights beneath us fade. Up leaps the race of earthmen; Far drives the thundering jet. Out ride the sons of Terra, Out far and onward yet. We ' ll roast on the plains of Mercury— Vulcan ' s sun-baked home, And cross the blistering leaden sea To Darkside we ' ll roam. We ' ll rot in the molds of Venus And sicken at her tainted breath; We ' ll trek through her steaming jungles Crawling with unclean death. Gasping there on the blood-red sand Of Mars, we ' ll gaze on its hills uncouth; Along her great canals still stand The fragile towers of truth. Long gone the rac e that raised those towers, Forgotten are their lores; Dead the gods who shed the tears That wash these incarnadine shores. And the thin air whispers to the icy sky That all who live must one day die. We ' ll thunder off to lo Out in the Jovian moons And dodge in and out the asteroids— Those fragments of a planet ' s ruins. Then touch we down on Jupiter Of the evil crimson eye And choke in his methane coils And curse his death-filled sky. Saturn, bound thrice with rainbow rings, Next drifts across our sight, And our eyes to that vision cling As a Wanderer to a lamp at night. Then feel our straining ship alive; Hear her roar; feel her drive Out past Uranus, Neptune, Pluto— To the depths beyond we go. Onward, outward thrust the silver spears Of man ' s ships. And as they near The Silent Outer Dark, the ancient fear Of things unknown, beyond our ken Blast and sear minds of mortal men. UNNOTICED - ALAS! I have a dream (I must not tell it) It ' s always with me But I won ' t spell it. I have a hope (No need to bore you) No day ' s without it Whatever I do. I have a wish (No need to share it) You might have guessed; Alone I must bear it. I have the strength (You may not guess it) I ' ll live without you To none I ' ll confess it. I ' ll have a memory (You ' ll never know it) i ' ll keep the flower That slipped from your coat. You never saw me (I watched from a distance) I am just no one I have no persistence You ' ll never know this (I am not bright) Five years in high school Also six feet in height! —VIC STUDENT. And the thin air whispers to the icy sky That all who live must one day die. Before them lies the vast, vast, Space The entire depthless Cosmic All, For an instant the headlong race Shivers stops—then thunders on Into the Nebulous mists and starry halls That scar the wide beyond; Then back again to the homes of men On the rolling green hills of earth. There the sweet fresh breezes heal us As they blow around the girth Of our peaceful Mother Planet O ' er the quiet hills of earth. We pray for our last landing On the sphere that gave us birth— That we see once more the fleecy skies And the cool green hills of earth. —ED SIMBALIST 139 4. Darn Kids and their bubble gum. 5.
