Although our year play didn ' t materialize, Fine Arts Night more than made up for it with two excellent productions: Breeches from Bond Street and The Dark at the Top of the Stairs. Again our hoopsters, both Junior and Senior Boys, were tops in the city, as well as our Boys ' Swim Team and our Badminton Team. Following Pagoda Prom in the spring, Dick Arnold led the grad class to their big night. Also graduating was Mr. H. A. McFarland, one of the finest and most outstanding principals Vic has ever known. So here we are in our senior year (at last). We like to think of 61-62 as our year and we can well be proud of it. Our politics are ably controlled by Ken Lambert and Darwin Semotiuk, our publications by Bev Green and Bev Ross of the Argosy and Brian Botsford and David Hughes of the Yearbook. Congratulations to our curling team for gaining Provincial Honors. All four of our Basketball teams have won city championships, proving conclu¬ sively which is the basketball school in Edmonton. We can be justly proud of our I its, dances, and our year play Rebel Without a Cause. Special mention must be made of those wonderful Pedagogical Players for their production of Pyramus and Thisbe. This has indeed been a fine year for Vic, and because it is our year, it will remain in our memories for many years to come. Much happiness has been found here and many lifelong friendships begun. Now, as we prepare to leave, we realize the boost that Vic has given us onto the road to maturity. And so from the class of 62 to our Alma Mater, thanks Vic, thanks a lot. Ken Simpson.

GRAD HISTORY Remember 1959? Of course you do. That was our first year at Vic. It seems quite a while since we were called Frosh, doesn ' t it? But think back, back to that first day in these hallowed halls. Remember how we gazed in awe at the vastness of the place, feeling just a little inferior and unnoticed in all that wonderful organized confusion of opening day. It seemed impossible that we, the wheels of our junior high schools, were now reduced to lowly Frosh. Remember how we shrank at the iron gaze of the Senior and stumbled to do his every bidding, in an effort to keep away from that notorious high school institution, the Frosh Court. But we soon l earned that Seniors were not gods but students just like us. This fact realized and the school well explored, we settled down to normal school routine. Normal? Who ' s kidding whom? Life at Vic is never normal, especially in the first year. Under the leadership of Harry Hiller and Anne Gardiner, we were introduced to many phases of V.C.H.S., such as clubs, houseleague sports, and the long, long line in the cafeteria. In the fall we attended our first Vic dance, Shmoo ' s Shindig. Early in 1960 we enjoyed The Male Animal, soon followed by Fine Arts Night which presented Eternal Life and the Potboiler. A very successful Career Day was followed by the election of Tom Wilson as Grad President. That year the Argosy was headed by Stephen Cox and the yearbook by Libby Cotsman. Sportswise, Vic gained new honors as our Junior Football team, our Boys ' Swim Team, and both our Boys ' Basketball teams won city championships. Then came the Spring Prom in April and, before we knew it, we had written our finals and completed grade ten. Grade eleven started with a bang with Frolique Francois and a near win for our Senior Football team. Our new President was Gary Silverman with Diane Hlasney at his right hand. Guiding the Argosy was Diane Andreas with Jim Tanasiuk and Jim Wildish in charge of the yearbook. 19
