11 n £c MO nto Victoria Composite High School Edmonton, Alberta 1963-64 Page 1 Page 2 ■ Page 4 Page 5 Page 7 Our ' Priucifeafo TfCetoaye The 1964 Victorian, as this is written in mid-January, has made considerable progress toward completion. Under the direction of Staff Adviser Mrs. Lambert and Editor Glenda Lamont, the yearbook staff is striving for a book of merit. Your student union, your assemblies, your athletic and social activities will be remembered for their consistent exce llence. There should be no doubt about your achievement on the final examinations if you uphold your record throughout the balance of the year. In fact, your teachers expect that 1964 will be one of Vic’s finest because of the remarkable potential you have shown. On behalf of the instnictional staff of V.C.H.S., I should like to commend your class on its record of leadership, achievement, and cooperation during the past three years. We have every reason to be proud of your contribution. The Class of 1964 will face a world which is strug¬ gling to cope with a fantastic rate of change and prog¬ ress. Perhaps a few examples will help you to appre¬ ciate the volcanic power of this scientific revolution. Ninety per cent of all the scientists who have ever lived are alive today; twenty years ago, ten mathematicians served all industry, while today the computers alone require the services of 200,000; ten per cent of all the electricity generated in the world today is used by one atomic energy plant whereas twenty years ago nuclear science was virtually unknown; of all the children in elementary schools, fifty per cent will be employed as adults in occupations which do not exist today; ninety per cent of all the drugs we now use were developed in the last ten years. In view of figures such as these, any scientific projections we make today, will probably turn out to be tame prophecies. This is the world into which you graduate. Look ahead, choose an objective and plan your course so that you may have a significant part in its exciting future. Since the dawn of time, man has responded to the lure of Ultima Thule—- the farthest land, the fabled region lying somewhere beyond the remote horizon. The lure has led him to suffering, to victory, to death. Most of us feel the attraction of Ultima Thule; we respond in spirit if not in body to the challenge of far places. I believe that as graduates of Vic you have the pre¬ requisites to reach your Ultima Thule. You have had one of the best schools in Canada, one of the finest instructional staffs and the fellowship of classmates second to none. If these advantages are strengthened by your desire and effort, you will face the world in 1964 with confidence. As you leave the halls of Vic for the sterner demands of more advanced education and training or directly into the world of employment, we hope you will take with you a love of learning, an ability to work, a facility to discipline yourself; a sound scale of values and an appre¬ ciation of the fine ideals your teachers have instilled. I hope you will always associate these ideals with your memories of Victoria Composite High School. Then, I know, these last words of the late Franklin D. Roosevelt will have meaning for you . . . The only limit to our realization of tomorrow will be our doubts of today. Let us move forward with strong and active faith.” To the Class of ' 64 our very best wishes for an ex¬ citing and satisfying future. C. M. Hollingsworth Page 9 As summer draws near and the long anticipated holidays approach as well the not so long anticipated examinations, many of us realize that another year is ending. To some, this year marks the end of many years of hard study. To others, the completion of the year is just another step toward the final attainment of a university diploma. Even though it is hard to say good bye to many of our friends whom we know we will not see again, it is hardest of all to say good bye to Vic. For here, during this year as in all the others, we have spent many memorable moments that will not be for¬ gotten. Some of Vic ' s basketball prestige was regained when the Seniors defeated O ' Leary to win the CAPHER Championship. The Fine Arts Department had what probably was its finest year in Vic’s history. It presented not one but two outstanding successes. The first, Meet Arizona,” a musical under the direction of Mrs. James, played to packed houses on all four performances. The second tremendous success of the Fine Arts Department was the year play, Romeo and Juliet. This play presented by Vic students and ably directed by Mr. Mitchell marked another first for Vic among city high schools. For these and many other services provided for Vic stu¬ dents, a special thanks to the Music and Drama De¬ partments. During the year, Vic students have had the oppor¬ tunity to attend numerous functions sponsored by the Assemblies and Social Boards. I don’t think anyone who attended our two dances, Redmen Rendezvous or Stardust Serenade can forget the beautiful decorations or the fun that was had. The Lits presented this year were entertaining. The performers were excellent; the direction of the shows perfection. Or who can forget the sights around Vic’s halls on Hillbilly Day, or Ar¬ nold, Vic’s winning entry in the Valentine Sweetheart Contest at Vic Voc? To the people who made these things possible a thanks from those of us who enjoyed them. Those of us who attended Vic this year were lucky enough to see the completion of Vic Voc, a project begun when many of the seniors were still frosh. Al¬ though an era was ended—that of the old red building —to build the new school, I hope that we have seen the start of another era in which both schools will unite to bring more glory upon the name of Vic. During this year, the Student Council has tried to fulfill the wishes of the students. The year started out with the Frosh Braves being welcomed into the Vic tepee at the tribal council. The Frosh Queen, the Frosh Court, and the gigantic Frosh Dance all helped to start the year off right. In the field of sports, Vic has had many fine suc¬ cesses this year. The girls have managed to win two out of four possible championships in volleyball and basketball. The boys were not as successful; they fin¬ ished second to St. Mary’s in football and lost to Scona in the senior basketball semi-finals. The Junior boys fared better—losing only to Ross Sheppard in a closely fought final. But activities at Vic do not run by themselves. Supervising each activity is a teacher. These teachers are willing to sacrifice their time to coach, advise, in¬ struct, or supervise. I feel that this spirit among the teachers has helped to put Vic in the prominent posi¬ tion it maintains. As the year closes, I think back to the many and sometimes tedious meetings which the room representa¬ tives and executive members had to attend. To these people who worked to make the council a more efficient governing body and the year more enjoyable, my deepest thanks. To Mr. Sheppard, our staff adviser, I would like to offer our sincere gratitude for helping us. How¬ ever, a chain is as strong as its weakest link and to those of you of the student body who attended our many functions and helped to make them the success they were Thank you”. In closing, I would like to wish all Vicites good luck on their examinations as well as health, happiness, and prosperity in the future. Bill Clarke Page 10 Mr. C. M. Hollingsworth B. Comm.

BAirCE $«.wr‘ pe rso a YCB WHS Page 17 Page 19 President ' s Message 1963-64 Garnet Cummings When we were freshmen and entered the doors of Vic for the first time, we felt as though something very ) dear and personal had been left behind in the Junior High School that we had attended. This feeling, how¬ ever, is minute in comparison to the one that we now experience as we leave Vic. We are now Graduands and are again experiencing this feeling of regret at departure. This feeling is not sadness, but is more like a mixture of emotions that mean in reality thanks.” We, the Graduands, say thanks to the highly capable teaching staff, who, fortunately for us, have on many occasions, given a helping hand; we say thanks to the Administrators of both the Academic and Recreational Faculties who have devoted much time to extra cur¬ ricular activities; we say thanks to the Students’ Union, and Grad Representatives; we say thanks especially to our adviser, Miss Lent. Miss Lent is the prime factor in the success of this day. Thanks to all of you who have helped to make this year a memorable one. Allow me to leave you with these parting words by an unknown author. They may help you in building a firm foundation for the future: THE WRECKERS I watched them tearing a building down, A gang of men in a busy town; With a ho-heave-ho and a lusty yell, , They swung a beam, and a side wall fell. I asked the foreman, Are these men skilled, The men you would hire if you had to build?” He gave me a laugh and said, No, indeed! Just common labor is all I need. I can easily wreck in a day or two What builders have taken a year to do.” I thought to myself as I went my way, Which of these roles have I tried to play? Am I a builder who works with care, Measuring life by the rule and square? Am I shaping my deeds to a well-made plan, Waiting patiently doing the best I can? Or am I a wrecker, who walks the town Content with the labor of tearing down? —Anonymous Page 20 Valedictory by BETTY FLAGLER I am very proud and deeply thrilled to have been chosen to speak today on behalf of the graduating class. I would like to say thank you” to my fellow students for giving me this opportunity to say thank you” to Vic. To most of us, in the atmosphere of this occasion, the word graduation” means to receive a diploma for fin¬ ishing a course — to say farewell — to part from Vic itself, as well as from the wonderful fun and friendships enjoyed there. Although it also means that we shall change, we must not feel discouraged. We should feel encouraged and challenged by the opportunity to show the gratitude we. feel towards our teachers and our parents. For it is they who have done so much to equip us, the artists, to paint the portraits of our characters. Before a good portrait can be completed, the artist must first have a deep understanding of his subject. He must make a preliminary sketch of his plan, and he must have ready at hand the proper materials with which to work. The training at Vic has provided us, the artists, with a high-quality canvas on which to paint our char¬ acters. This canvas will never fade nor crack — it is guaranteed for a lifetime! Before a good portrait can spring to life on this canvas, the artist must know how to mix his paints. Our teachers have taught us to be discreet individualists — that is, to mix colours not too bright nor too gaudy, yet not to hide behind convention nor pale shades. The insight, the inspiration to assess the person he is to depict on canvas, must come from within the artist—from his parents and his home. With¬ out this wonderful background of our homes, how many of us could have come as far as this—or could progress further? We have learned, too, the use of good planning for, to be good artists, we sketch before we paint. These sketches, which have often shown faults in our character, could be corrected at Vic before the final colouring of the portrait. Vic has given us the essential feeling of self-confidence to wield the paint brush with swift, sure strokes. Vic has taught us the patience, the perseverance, the determination we shall need, to transform our first sketches into the finished paintings on canvas, the por¬ traits of our characters. Life at Vic has helped us develop a depth of char¬ acter comparable to the three-dimensional effect of paint¬ ing that makes it look real and alive. Perhaps the lov- liest shade in our portrait will be the one produced by the relationship between staff and students. The ever available assistance of the teachers and their respect for the unlimited potential of the students at Vic have com¬ bined to teach us responsibility—to ourselves and to others—in short, to make us good citizens. But most important of all, Vic has taught us that life is not a number painting. Everything will not always fall int o its numbered section to fulfill our every dream. In these unpredictable situations, we must use the depth of character developed at Vic to its fullest extent to pro¬ duce that most outstanding portrait — the one of our future. In the future, we, as adults, will be thrust into many and varied situations to be judged by innumerable critics just as a portrait is tried in many different frames and evaluated by many art critics. It is a well-known fact, however, that a good portrait, such as one painted at Vic, looks beautiful even in the ugliest frame. A good portrait relies not on environment so much as on its basic colours for lasting beauty; we can depend on our Vic education to survive any change of frames. Soon, framed by our name and writing on an examina¬ tion paper, we will face some of the toughest critics we have yet met — namely, department examiners. This will be the culmination of our activities at Vic. But, as Winston Churchill said at El Alamein after the first major Allied victory in World War II, “Gentle¬ men, this is not the end — it is not even the beginning of the end. But it is perhaps the end of the beginning.” So, at the end of our beginning, we are leaving Vic, but we do so with the knowledge that Vic has given us a firm basis for life, and with the sincere hope that we and our friends will find our suited” frames in it. It is our prediction that, though the painters, subjects, and instructors will change, the materials in this school will always be of first quality. For the indomitable Vic spirit to succeed will always instill in its students the wonder¬ ful happiness it has given us.

Brad Bryson, who has been active in all sports since his com¬ ing to Vic, is the first and very deserving winner of this award.

If he keeps faithfully busy each hour of the working day, he may safely leave the final result to itself. He can, with perfect certainty, count on waking up some fine morning to find himself one of the competent ones of his generation, in whatever pursuit he may have singled out. Silently, between all the details of his business, the POWER of JUDGING in all that class of matter will have built itself up within him as a possession that will never pass away. Young people should know this truth in advance. The ignorance of it has probably engendered more discouragement and faintheartedness in youths embarking on arduous careers than all other causes put together.” William James, Psychologist yvonr a c it-mm-m-tmes, L— V-� -7- £= O YOUR INVESTOR.OWNED GAS UTILITY SERVING ALBERTANS SINCE 1923 Leadership Is A Bay Tradition Though the romance of almost three centuries of fur trading still clings to this company; to countless Canadians the Bay is the modern de¬ partment store in their community, and a leader in the field of fashion. INCORPORATED 2!T MAY Page 47 Ins on The Home Economics Department at Victoria Composite is sorry to report that Mrs. Lillian Robinson is retiring and will not be on the staff next year. She has worked with the Social Committee of the Students’ Union. Food helps to make a successful dance or party. We thank Mrs. Robinson for this. We will miss her. Lillian Reed was born in the Gatineau Hills of Quebec at the end of the last century. In 1906, the Reed family moved west to homestead near the frontier town of Vermilion. For two years after their arrival there was no school. She completed her high school at Vermilion and attended Cam- rose Normal School. Later she graduated in Home Economics from Mac¬ Donald Institute, Guelph, Ontario. In 1929, Miss Reed returned to Edmonton and accepted the position of sewing instructor at the Technical High School. Here she met a young wood work instructor from England by the name of Bill Robinson. They were married and she gave up her teaching career for homemaking. Mr. Robinson was one of the shop teachers the first year Victoria Composite was open. He left to become Supervisor of Manual Training and retired last year. Mrs. Robinson is giving up teaching but does not think of retiring. The Robinsons are active members of Windemere Golf Club and are members of several service clubs. They plan to travel through the States in July and later to go to Europe. They will be back in Edmonton next fall when daugh¬ ter Barbara begins her last year in Medicine. Retirement isn’t considered; there is too much to do and so little time to do it. -—Miss M. McLaggan The Stolen Soul E’er long, you’ll see his interest fade. Oh run, oh run, fore all is lost! A tiny elfin figure danced All garbed in shades of every hue, Across the green so blithe he pranced That scarce could she, Miss Sue, Resist to stop and watch awhile. With devilish glance and roguish eye, He held her tranced as whirled he there, He dervish-like, with intent sly To lure away the maiden fair, Who watched with eyes of deep sea-blue. He danced to where she stood. Enraptured maid! O foolish maid! You list to him as no girl should. But blind is love and blind the maid. He beckons gaily, Come with me!’’ Her heart so pure, like polished jade, She gives to him unwittingly. Her love is his forever more. Farewell, for with the elfin figure goes Miss Sue, a captive wraith, a slave To lands unseen that no one knows, And no one finds the path so brave, And no one saves the stolen soul. —Joanne Maynes Pierre Berube Dennis Billey Bill Boomer Monica Bombosch Richard Boychuk Ed Borchert Gary Browning Lee Broderick Steve Dearing Bob Doorten Bob Davies Rosalie Topilka Clarence Ewasiuk Eric Eiben fj; M .

I bow down to you, O Great Master, hoping to find approval in your mighty eyes; Some day I will be worthy of your friendship, Now I am only worthy to clean your teepee or wipe your moccasins. You Mighty Chieftain, me insignificant Redman Frosh, UGH! Frosh Days This verse all grade-ten students were reciting to their seniors on September 12 and 13. Frosh Days were centered around an Indian theme and all Frosh were adorned with a red feather and an identification button. On September 12, a Frosh Lit was held and con¬ ducted by our president, Bill Clarke, assisted by vice- president Ann Wheeler. There were races by the Frosh and Mr. Kemp and Mr. Mitchell gave interesting and inspiring speeches on school spirit. The finale of the Lit was the introduction of the twelve Frosh Queen candidates. Friday, September 13 was an unlucky day for some Vic Frosh. This was the day of the Kangaroo Court. Two Frosh had to feed each other while they were blindfolded and others had to walk over broken eggs in their bare fe et. Two special Frosh, Mr. Hol- ditch and Mr. Nering, had a baby-bottle race — the winner? Mr. Nering. On the night of Friday the 13th, the annual Frosh dance, The Squaw Stomp”, was held. It proved successful. Folk singers and band were especially pop¬ ular. During the dance, our new Frosh Queen, Pearl Thompson, was chosen and crowned. When these two hectic days were over, both Seniors and Frosh agreed that 1%3 Frosh Days had been wonderful!

Although not as successful as in past years, every team that we fielded was respected, if not feared by all opponents. If championships were awarded for desire, I’m sure we would have every trophy that was put up for grabs: I know our boys gave it all they had all the time. Coaches Hohol and W ebb assembled a fine Senior Football Squad. The boys played good football throughout the season, but we couldn’t unseat the defending champions, St. Mary’s. The Junior footballers, under Coaches Demeriez and Coyle, didn’t enjoy their usual success — although they played good football. As the football season drew to a close, we entered the precision world of basketball. The Senior players under Coach Baker, started the season off right by winning the pre¬ season CAPHER Tournament. We played two overtime games in that tourney to bring the cup back to Vic after its absence of one year. We finished the season with three losses in fifteen starts—good enough for a first place tie. In the semi-finals we were defeated by Scona who went on to win the city championship. The Junior Redmen had a good season also. They defeated Scona in the semi-finals and advanced to the finals where they dropped a close encounter to Ross Shep. The Juniors were coached by Mr. Demeriez. Meanwhile, down at the pool, the boys were training vigorously for the annual Swim Meet. Coached by Mr. Coyle, they showed well in the meet by placing third. The Swimming and Diving Team won first and second places in the city finals. We won second in the boys’ free-style relay. A new record was set of 1:09 in the 100 yards back crawl by Brian Simpson. As this book goes to press, the soccer and badminton teams are preparing to enter into competition. The boys’ Track and Field Team is enduring gruelling practices in preparation for the Track Meet. No, we didn’t bring home too many trophies, but we did distinguish ourselves as exceptional athletes and true sportsmen. —Brad Bryson Senior Football FRONT ROW: Chris Hook, Neil Martin, Bob Robinson, Ken Lederer, Sandy Jurak, Bill Sobotiuk, Ron Solowan, Bill Tanner, Peter McEwen.

Although there were a few disappointments, the Vic teams always made fine showings both in sportman- ship and ability. In the fall, the volleyball try-outs were attended by large numbers of junior and senior girls. This enabled two fine coaches, Miss Fisher and Mrs. Coyle, to pick strong teams to represent the Composite and Vocational schools. Neither team, however, managed to bring home the championship, losing to two very capable teams from Bonnie Doon. The seniors, led by co-captains Brenda Whitley and Jackie Urquhart, won seventeen games, tied two, and lost one, to finish in second place. The junior team, captained by Joyce Chorney and Pam Hartog, won twelve games, tied one, and lost five, to finish in third place. When the basketball try-outs were called after Christmas, the Vic girls came out determined to defeat all opponents and to prevent their volleyball rivals from Bonnie Doon to even reach the finals. In this en¬ deavour, both teams were successful, and two basketball Page 90 cups are again back on Vic’s shelves. The senior girls, coached by Miss Fisher and captained by Brenda Whit¬ ley, played a no-loss season, defeating Ross Sheppard in the finals. This victory is a point of special interest because it is the third year in succession that the Vic seniors have won the championship. The junior team, coached by Mrs. Beckman and captained by Maureen Hannon, was equally successful, winning seven games and losing only one. In the swim meet, our girls did not manage to cap¬ ture any first-place ribbons but their participation helped bring Vic’s team into third place. Vic swimmers who placed in events were Jill Bradford, Kelrie Ross, Pat Tidsbury, Elma Schoemeyer, and Wynne Griffiths. At the present time, the track .and badminton teams have not yet met their opponents, but they will un¬ doubtedly bring more glories to Vic. Congratulations for the fine showing to the coaches and teams.

Countryside The countryside was wonderful that summer, I frolicked in the sweet-smelling hay, Felt the sun shine its rays on me And brown my back. The air was fresh and clean, With soft, sultry, summer breezes Playing restlessly with the trees, The sky was bluer than the bluest ocean Peppered here and there With marshmallow clouds, Below, the earth peeped out Beneath the bursting grains of sun-kissed wheat, The creek trickled by Over moss-green stones, Oh, the coolness of that creek On burning feet. The day fades into a pinkish rose, The wafer moon peeks out behind A fading, lingering cloud, The sky twinkles like a skilletful of diamonds, The creek murmurs; a velvet breath of breeze Blows softly o’er it, The farmhouse up ahead is brightly lit, Shining through the peaceful countryside, The dream to go back lingers Forever with me. —Donna James Memories of Vic One crisp winter day in January, I happened to gaze out the window of a second floor classroom. The grace¬ ful willow tree that grows between the academic and shop wings caught my eye, and I began to day-dream. I remembered when the art classes would sit outside in the spring trying in vain to capture its beauty on paper. I wondered if in twenty years chatting students would still eat their lunches beneath it in the warmth of spring and fall. I then, began wondering if posters would still be found decorating inaccessible places around the cor¬ ridors. I thought that in twenty years it would be in¬ teresting to know if the Argosy still decorates a Christ¬ mas tree for the upstairs main rotunda. I wondered if the boys would still occtipy the downstairs window ledge, Page 96 frightening the girls into walking upstairs. It would be interesting to see if Kangaroo Court is still the main event of Frosh Days, and if the milk-line will be any longer or if the cafeteria any more crowded. At this point I was suddenly awakened by a bell, and my day¬ dream had come to an end. Later I thought of my day-dream and decided it would be worthwhile to return to Victoria Composite in twenty years to see it all again. I wondered if on this return, these customs would still be significant to the lives of Vic students. It would be interesting to see if the tree was still flourishing and how many of the traditions that we have helped to form and to keep are still alive. —Glenda Lament Creative Writing Class I Go Without a Body I am not a ghost, nor am I material. It’s my own fault that I am in this condition. For just about all my life, I have dreamed about being somewhere else and seeing all the parts of the world. Many people dream of this, but I decided to do some¬ thing about it. I experimented with will power to see what would happen. For just about a week, I would sit in bed for hours, concentrating on being somewhere else. This one night however, it happened. I had been concentrating harder and harder until long after midnight. Suddenly, I flopped from my sitting position into a lying position on my bed. I had no con¬ trol, but was fully aware of everything going on. There was no more feeling in my arms or legs; everything seemed to be crowding into my head. It made me dizzy. The street light outside, constantly kept my room illum¬ inated, but now, even though I was staring, I couldn’t see even the light. Then, I seemed to be floating up¬ wards and I could see again. I bumped against the ceil¬ ing but I couldn’t feel it. I looked down. There, on my bed was me, but who or what was I? I got panicky. Oh, I want to be back! ” I thought to myself. Imme¬ diately I was being forced back into my body. It was too small for me. Was this the fruit of my experiments? If so, then I should be able to will” myself anywhere. The next night, I travelled to all sorts of places and saw all sorts of different things, the things I always have wanted to see. Then one night, I made a fatal” error. I stayed out beyond six o’clock in the morning. I don’t know what became of me then; all of a sudden, I just wasn’t! The next night however, promptly at midnight, I found myself exactly where I had been before I dis¬ appeared the morning before. Quickly, I willed myself home. There was nobody in my bed. I went downstairs to find my parents very glum and melancholy indeed. They couldn’t see me and I knew that, but my dog came right over to me. It must be a sixth sense he has. I also found a new sensation in that I could read his thoughts and he, mine. We thought for a while and then I asked him what had become of the material me”. He explained that they had found my body and the doctor had said that I had died from heart failure. They then had me taken to a funeral home. As quickly as I could think, I transported myself to the funeral home. Too late! They had already embalmed my body and it was of little use to me in that way. Now I had no home”. Being without a body has its disadvantages. For example, now I never get hungry and there is no reason to eat (not only that, but there is no method to eat). And I did so enjoy eating. But then again, I have none of the cares about my appearance or health. I can do exactly the same things that I ever could do without any physical fatigue. How¬ ever, my activities are confined to six hours a day. I now have a schedule worked out. Every Monday, Wednesday and Friday, my dog and I talk all night. It is so much fun listening to a dog’s point of view. He talks in such a quaint manner too. He sure is a card. The other nights, I see all the places I have wanted to see and my dog catches up on his sleep. I can do just about anything by will power. It sure seems comical to see this pen propelling itself along the paper. Even with all these advantages though, I find it rather lonely in this state. I think that I shall go on tour of a hospital and wait until someone dies; then I’ll slip into his empty” when no one is watching. Perhaps then, I shall have the opportunity to die properly. —Ted Hockaday Creative Writing Class Page 97 Wet!

After much hard work by the Ice Staaie Com¬ mittee, Vic was rewarded with honor and prize money for her efforts. Vic’s entry in the Muk Luk Mardi Gras Ice Statue Contest, a surfing polar bear, took first prize of one hundred dollars, which was split between the Composite and Voca¬ tional schools. With the money, a trophy was given which joined others in the showcase. This year’s Reach For the Top Team has brought special honor to our school. They are the first team to have gone over the top” twice. Vic is proud of you. Congratu¬ lations! REACH FOR THE TOP 1 hat fly crawls any closer and he’s had it. I wonder who put salt in the coffee.

These entitle the winners to attend French summer school classes for six weeks. The amount of three hundred dollars is intended to cover the costs of tuition, books, room and board. The results of the competition were based on marks obtained in a written objective test, a French composition, and an oral examination taken at the University of Alberta. Heather Hardman received the Isabelle Connelly Memorial Schol¬ arship, the award Beverly Ross won last year. Gaye Lounsbury re¬ ceived the Student Union’s Scholarship, as did Violet Shatzko in 1963. Heather has chosen to study at the University of Laval in Quebec, while Gaye plans to attend the Banff School of Fine Arts. Their teacher is the extremely competent Mrs. A. Boytzun of V.C.H.S.

The idea of a Paperback Book¬ store, and the idea of making good books inexpensively available to students gave birth to the Vic Bookstore. After a year and a half, Vic students have shown that they ARE interested in a wide variety of good reading, and ARE interested in their own home libraries. There are no profits as such, and any extra moneys over the cost of the books are given to the Stu¬ dents’ Union for the Kim Bong Ja Fund. The bookstore idea came from Mr. J. E. Campbell, who is also its staff sponsor. Bookstore staffs have looked after this volunteer venture — Bobbi Aalborg, the pioneer manager, and Chris Thomas- Peter, the present manager. Their staffs have added another first to Vic’s tradition of service.
