Viscount Bennett certainly place to no school in Calgary for things achieved. Every¬ where the highest quality has been demanded and attained, and it may fairly be said that this, the second issue of the Terminal, compares favourably with the yearbooks of . older schools with years of experience and tradition behind their publishing. All this excellence did not cone without hard work. Many students and teachers have been called upon to donate their valuable time to yearbook work, and without exception, they have cheerfully accepted and discharged these responsibilities. With¬ out such aid, this issue would have been impossible, and it is therefore the purpose of this brief article to thank as many of those who helped in its creation s possible. Firstly, I would like to congratulate on behalf of all the teachers andlstudents in our school, Mr. Wilcox, the spearhead of our literary efforts. Not only has he sponsored and advised the Press Club and Yearbook workers, but he has also taught our grade nine creative writing class. Thank you, Mr. Wilcox, for all the hours you have spent with us. We sincerely hope that you will be rewarded by knowing that some future authors have grown up under your guidance. Many other teachers have also made fine contributions to our yearbook. Mr. Gish assisted in the organization of the sports writing. The artists who illustrated this book have found much encouragement, inspiration and advice in the pbrson of our Art teacher, Miss Stadelbauer. Miss Leggat has been a great deal of help in organizing the grade nine biographies and the literary material. Last to be mentioned, but certainly not least in importance, are the contributions of Miss McDonald and Mr. Sharlow, who worked on the clubs and social and business departments respectively. A special word of thanks goes out to our hard-working and efficient secretaries, Mrs. Riethman and Mrs. Morris, who found time out from the busy routine of running the office to type and run off the pages of this edition. Our yearbook is a student activity, and so many pupils deserve recognition that the entire volume could be taken up with their names and work. However, special credit is due to the following editors: Dave James, who headed the boys ' sports section; Enid Donovan, clubs ' and socials; Marilyn Lougheed. girls ' sports; Ron Huck, art; Brian Sykes, business organization and finance; and yours truly, literary section. Our con¬ gratulations also go out to the pupils ' who assisted these editors in the various phases of committee work. To sum up, I would like to say that words, and especially words of thanks, are a very inadequate way of expressing what: we feel. And so, to all those who helped in the creation of this yearbook, we wish very happy reading of the pages to follow. Per¬ haps in this way, they can get true recognition for their work from the treasu re-house of happy memories which they created. John Ower 10-32 Ron Huck, Editor.

The somewhat timid infant who started life two years ago has grown .suddenly into an active child and shows many interesting characteristics. The young Viscount has grown stronger physically and competes with his rivals on better terms; he has developed a pleasant, attractive personality; he has become quite active socially; occasionally he shows a little feeling for serious responsibility; and last and most important, he exhibits the first s,igns of mental growth - a few bumps of knowledge have begun to appear. During the coming year this potential giant will again double his size and develop in .many interesting ways. What his final form will be, only time and the efforts of all of us can determine. Thus far we have done well with our growing boy. Let’s continue and help him to become bigger and better next year. H. W. Bryan. GREETINGS FROL THE ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL It is an honour to be asked to write an article for the Yearbook, although I find it difficult to write something today which will be worth reading when it appears in print., I have some thoughts about Viscount Bennett School, which I would like to share with you. This is a young school - not yet two years old - and it has no traditions and very little school spirit. Traditions, worthy or unworthy, come with time; school spirit comes as soon as the teachers and students feel a oneness among themselves. The students here now are building the traditions which the students in the years that follow will respect or regret. To establish traditions of which we can be proud, students and staff must reach out toward ideals of integrity and service. Only as we individually remain true to the best we know, can we build the best we dream. School spirit is not easily defined, but it is not unlike the bond of goodwill and affection which ties the members of a real family together. So long as we work together here for the highest in scholarship, the finest in sportsmanship and kind¬ liness in all our relations, genuine school spirit will develop. Let us nurture it tenderly! Eva Jagoe, A MESSAGE FROM OUR HOME AND SCHO OL, The Viscount Bennett Home and School Executive has tried to help the school and parents as much as possible during the past year, working on the assumption that an idea won’t work unless we do. We strive for a better understanding and co-operation between the teachers and parents in relation to the students. With informative programmes on school curriculum such as Help Your Teen-Ager Budget Time , a panel discussion on Social Studies and Mr. Ward Steckle, principal of Western Canada High School, discussing The Four Routes of the Senior High School Programme , we have tried to interest the parents in the work of their children. With such financial aid as sponsoring the Christmas Concert_.and helping.with collections for the Library Fund, we have tried to aid in making the school a more pleasant place for its students. We feel that the official opening of the High School was such a success, because of the untiring work and - planning of our president, Mr. Miller. :■ ' We know that many things are yet to be accomplished, and we earnestly solicit the help of all members. A little work by many achieves great things. The members of the executive have all enjoyed working together for this beautiful new school and we hope that even more will be accomplished during the coming year. Hrs. ' W. J. : J.

' N ' 1 ✓ ■i _i KJJ CLaSS 10-23 We’come in a marvellous..,assortment of shapes, colours and sizes. We ape few in number,-but I ■. think most teachers find that Class 10-23.can rival any room’in the school when it comes to the art of noise-making. Who are the people that compose-.a class like . ours? Of course every room needs a practical joker like everyone ' s pal, Charlie. La Donne seems to keep Bruce in gales of giggles with her impersona¬ tions of Marilyn Monroe and Charles Boyer. When it comes to arguirfg, I know 10-23 has the school champs, Ray and Heather, who can argue about almost anythingl Before classes commence. Miss Jagoe, our home room teacher usually hears a variety of comments like this . Confucious say. r ' v li- Jan is covered with little red spots you kids! . and Jackie, you just should have seen him! . Aww, be quiet you kids while Helen (madams president) reads the notice. Our small class has done more than its share in the school ' s activities. We were E lways well— represented when it came to athletics, drama, cheerleaders, and service lubs. We have complained about assignments from time:to time. Most of us have received a goose-egg on more than one test.; But on the whole, I ' d say We ' ve all had a good |year in 10-23. Marietta. Dorgan. : , , - CUSS 10-25 it:O ' Yakkity-yak, screech, clatter: Quiet Puleesel! This is what you can hear pouring forth from 10-25 ' as soon as you step into the Senior High wing. All the teachers will certify that 10—25 is the noisiest of the grade 10 classes. However, when the class settles down, it is usually a model class (Ahem), Our class is full of characters. There is an.abundance of clowns, a variety of nuts, and the occasional sprinkling of those misplaced souls who feign to be studious, hiss MacDonald, the French and English teacher (and psychologist) has to cope with this group both during and after school hours. She and the.rest of the class would have leart failure if Bob Froelich actually arrived on time two days in a row. Also it appears that Jim Kelly and Billie Metcalfe may be starting a library of their own at the expense of the school ' s facilities. Our class has an executive of sorts: Bob Froelich, President, and Ismay Jempson, Vice-President, John Rollingson is the Runner and of late Seigfried Epp has been carrying the daybook, though he rarely can find it. I think the whole class will agree that 10-25 was a very good place to spend grade 10. Lorna Kinder. GLASS 10-30 : When a pungent odour seeps through the corridors and you hear the clatter of test- tubes - yes it ' s none other than 10-30, alias 10-1, preparing a new destructive, chemical under the CAREFUL supervision of Hr. Gee, our homeroom teacher. i! i ; Among our VERY studious students, Jim Dunsmoor (president of the Students 1 Council) and r Kathy McDaid-were chosen to be 10-30 ' s representative to the Students ' Council, while Leroi Herrod, runner and Sandi Robinson, class president, were kept busy through¬ out the term with various classroom duties. Ten -thirty has quite a reputation-for being.(?) so some teachers say. In math class, for example, we’re eager to learn; Social Studies seems to make us think; English to most of us presents a problem; and Science - oh our marksl Athletically-wise Nick seems to excel both in basketball and track, but the major¬ ity of us prefer to participate.spectatingl It was the Houseleague Mixed Volleyball which stirred a lot of enthusiasts away from the lunchroom table to enjoy many a noon hour playing this sport. Andso as the year draws to an end, We have almost completed the first major step to a successful high school career. The best of luck to you,10-30, and to the future pupil who will occupy our classroom. • Ruth Coe. CLASS 10-32 Class 10-32 started off the year-in room 11 in the old wing. After we became acquainted with Mr, Wilcox, we elected our class officers. Greg Horton was elected room president; yours truly, vice president; Enid Donovan, room secretary, Jack Truran,line monitor and Judy Armfield and Robbie Gray, Students ' Council representatives. As Robbie moved later in the year, Greg Horton took his place in the council, and has continued 1 to serve us ever since. During the month of March, we moved over to Room 32 in the new wing. Although this room vas intended for science, it is ideally suited for the teaching of social studies, having two glass cabinets for books and two fine committee tables. There was some talk of moving the teachers to new rooms at the end of the year, but we can imagine Mr. Wilcoj barricading himself in Room 32 with copies of Philip ' s and New ' s Ancient and Mediaeval History and resisting to the end. Despite our favourable surroundings, our success and happiness as a class this year has been largely due to the individuals who make it up. Mr. Wilcox started off the year by informing us that back seats were one dollar, middle seats fifty cents, and front seats nothing and has kept us pleasantly amused and interested ever since. Judy Armfield our top scholar, has headed the honour roll every tine, but has had keen competition froii several other students in our class. Few people care to face the usually good-natured Stan Black arid Allan Smith iri wrestling. In addition, Stan has taken part in almost all our other sporting activities, becoming Mr. Hodgert ' s right hand man. We have also had many other hard-workers, and future students in this room will have a hard job to match the achievements of the first 10-32. John Ower GRADE VIII CLASS HISTORIES CLASS 8-8 We, the pupils of Room 8-8, Have good things and bad things to relate. . : Boys and girls to the sum.of thirty-eight. Some have a nasty habit of being;late. Mrs. Ghitter, our. teacher, a gem in lecture and test, While in P.T.. she ranks with the very best. In April, Miss Carson came to take her place, A’more superior teacher couldn ' t be found in any ' race. On .the ' -Honour Roll vie rank seven. And on the Improvement List vie have eleven. I ' m afraid our room isn ' t very quiet. As there is always someone who is a riot. In.sports vie aren ' t very often at the top As there is always someone who is a flop. In Drama, you should see us act, It sounds true, but it isn ' t a factl Our Principal we love and admire. He has inspired us with a service that is much higher. A generation shall arise under his hands. To new scholastic heights which is everyone ' s plan. Brian Sykes, Ronnie Schey and Marilyn Mann • CLASS 8-11 ■ In our class we ' ve had a very exciting year with our teacher W. A. Cooke. Our class ■irst started out in the Electric Shop just across from the Drafting Room where Mrs. ■oneychurch was holding down the fort. The shop was a very good classroom to wander around. When we moved to Room 11, it seemed small and crowded, but we soon settled do™ and got things nicely arranged. In our room, as most of you know, there is never a dull moment. How could we be Better entertained than by one of Mr. Cooke ' s drama classes in practice or by one of ■Ur own class members in an attempt to get a rise out of the class, Mrs, Honeychurch would be quite aware of this as many times we saw her close her door to exclude the rolls ot laughter which rolled across the hallway. Like all other classes, we have had a good year. Chuck Titterington. I ; • CLASS 8-12 I We, the members of Class 8—12, alias 8-D, do leave this solemn record to remind you ■f-our numerous escapades. . f ith sound bodies but somewhat feeble minds, we began the term under the motherly guidance of Mr. Ramsey. However, Room 12 vias not to know the glory of our deeds for ' : long. With some regret we settled down in Mr. Rhodes drafting room where Mrs. Honey- ■hurch was to cast lots with us for the remainder of the year. Mrs. Honeychurch vias not for some time to know .peace and qui ' et for the grade 8 section of the Viscount Bennett band, complete with musicians, horns and lunch bags, loved in. CLASS 8-12 (Continued) After the big switch, several young slave-drivers, Sharon Wilson, president, Harry Woodhouse, vice-president and Cheryl Hpod, secretary, were elected. Bob Biggart and Myrna Campbell represented us ip Council. Our next big adventure, inter-school sports, revealed the•superiority of the fairer sex in our room. It began to appear that our boys were musicians rather than athletes. After the Christmas rush, we welcomed our first refugee, Frank Szonyi from Hungary. It was our proudest day when he spoke his first English, Hi!_ Okay! and Shut Up! After six months of strain, coat wrestling and eruptions, which resembled a Shakes¬ pearian festival from Mr. Cooke ' s classroom, we returned from our exile to Room 12. It is here that we write this final and parting document bequeathing to our descendants an ink-splattered room, gum bedecked seats and one slightly relieved teacher. This is our last and parting wish - that you remember us, Class 8-12, ' 56- ' 57. .

These vre re the sounds coming from the .halls of Viscount. ' Bennett on the opening day of school. After reaching our destination. Room 8-22, vre found Miss Stubbe, our teacher, waiting for us with a.cheery grin on her face. Even though summer was over, we were glad to get back to our books. (That is, some of us!) We soon selected a slate of officers: President, Gary Corbett commonly known as the idol of all the girls... Secretary Sandra (Sandi, dig that spell¬ ing) Lougheed; and for Students ' Council. Leslie Payne, our big track and Judy Stone, commonly known as Rocky! (Not Marciano!) The most hilarious event in our classroom history, happened on May 2- the time - fifteen minutes to 3:00 p.m. -the place - Viscount Bennett school. Class 8-22 was CLASS 8-22 (Continued) talking slowly to their next class - Mr. Gee si (Many questions have come up about Mr. jee - is he really a master in the field of torture?) What will his next prank be? That was the question that arose in the minds of the students. We were nearing his room, the front monitor slowed Up near the door, afraid to go in. As 8—22 entered, a strange object was seen on Mr. Gee ' s desk. As we sat down, Mr, Gee called for a volunteer. (To ir. Gee, a volunteer is one he picks himselfi) and a young boy was brought up. Mr, Gee told him to hold the ends of the wire which were attached to the strange object. Slowly Ir. Gee turned a crank on the side of this contraption. The boy jumped, as he felt a surge of electricity through him. From the strange cries of the boy and the hilarious laughter of the class, it looked and sounded as if Elvis Presley had just made an un¬ expected ap earance. Well, you can guess what happened. Mr, Gee is not really the mad scientist, but is a close secondjq (Please don ' t take this seriously, Mr. Gee - we still love youi) The story you have just read was true and the name of the machine was omitted to protect the innocent. What a coincidence - another incident happened the same dayl It all started by the girls ' lockers in the hall. One of our chattering clan entered by wearing a hoop too Large for her skirt.

She bunched her skirt before making an attempt to sit down, but found out there was not enough room for both the hoop and her - one had to got She was so embarrassed by this time that she made her way out of the room, amid gales of laughter. Five minutes later, she re-appeared, minus the hoop and made her way into the room, to her seat, with no difficulty.

Are we proud, 7-13 is a good natured crowd. 7—13 ' s teacher is really a peach, We sure ' learn something when she starts to teach. 7-13’ has a president, Ted, When conducting room meetings always uses his head. 7-13 ' s secretary Joan, Puts on the assignments before she goes home. 7-13 ' s David treasures our dough, It ' s really a pity we haven ' t any though. Lynda and Donald to the council were sent. After hearing reports it ' s a good thing they went. 7-13 ' s Librarians Lynda and Lorraine, Stamp the books without any strain. 7-13 for our runner chose Rick, He gets us our needs, and does it quick. Judy Stone Sandra Lougheed. (Continued) ACTIVITIES ' From the Christmas holidays we came back in a trance, And started to prepare for a Valentine’s dance. In March, the school needed money made, So we elected Welsh and Hade. Even though we didn ' t win the crown, We sure tried hard to canvass the town, April came as did indoor track. And 7-13 was far from the back. April ' s gone and here it ' s May And looking back over all the days, T, ' e ' ve really had a pretty good term. But thinking of June tests makes us squirm.

These ftre Wayne Dobson, who was elected president, A1 Weins, who became vice-president, Sandra ■.sher, our efficient secretary, Cheryl Richardson and Clive Cox, who made us walk the si raight and narrow path all year and our council representatives, Pat Dorgan and Clive Cc c. We started off the. sports season with the boys in first place in the grade seven Bfcrdenball match. Our girls did not do quite so well, but were in the volleyball finals. 1 Several individuals from 7-17 have made outstanding achievements in other fields, ■.chard Wiringa won .the .literary contest in the Viscount Version for his story I’m ■ming In , Judy Mason of 7-17 was the only girl in grade seven to be chosen as a ' cheerleader. 1 Our class as a whole also stands out. For Mr. Cooke’s Drama Night, vie sold more ■ckets than any other room in the school,,. Seven-seventeen was acclaimed the second ■atest grade seven room.

After attending either McGill or the University of Alberta, Chuck hopes to become a doctor, although he is also care¬ fully considering the teaching profession. Of course, whichever Chuck chooses, his high marks and general school standing will be behind him to back him up. Sports have taken up a good deal of Chuck’s time, but have been well worth it, both for Chuck and our school. IF played on the school basketball team and is now taking part in track. Next year he will work for the school again, this time on the football field. Among Chuck’s many interests arc the Press Club and the Leaders’ Corps, in .loth of which he is a very important figure..

We are proud to have at Viscount Bennett, the recipient of the September, 1956 Boy of the Month award winner, Robert Dalton Clarke. Bob was born in Wetaskawin, Alberta, but since his mother was nursing in various hospitals, he has travelled all over the province. Before he came to Calgary five years ago, he lived in such places as Hanna, Magrath and Kindersley, Saskatchewan. In Calgary he has attended Parkdale, Glengarry, Melville Scott and now Viscount Bennett schools. This tall, well mannered young man received his award mainly for his work for three years at the Cerebral Palsy dormitory with the crippled children. During this time he helped his mother, then matron of the home, with the housework, did odd jobs and enter¬ tained and assisted the tvrelve children, aged three to twelve years, living at the dormitory. Bob ' s favourite sports are basketball and rugby, but since he has only been with us since January, he has not become active in clubs or sports. He is an A student in school, his favourite subjects being Social, Science and Math. In his spare time at home he does leatherwork for a hobby. As his mother ' s only child. Bob has been a credit to his family. After completing grade XII in Calgary, Bob plans to attend university to become a geologist. This pleasant, nice-looking young man of fourteen is in class 0-15, Miss Leggat ' s room. , When asked his opinion of Elvis and Rock ' n ' Roll , Bob replied with a smile, It ' s O.K. I guess . On the subject of girls, at first he declined an opinion, but later admitted that some were O.K. We hope Bob completes his schooling here at Viscount Bennett and were sure he will be an asset to this,school.

Carol Powers 10-32 HOUSELSAGUE VOLLEYBALL - Grades 7. 8 and 9. The girls’ sports program got off to a fine start this season with the opening of the houseleague volleyball com¬ petitions under the able supervision of .Mrs. Kushnir and Mrs. Ghitter. Class 7-18 came up with a sparkling team that set the pace for the other sevens and was never headed. Class 8-15 took top honours in their section and 9-1 proved just too good to beat in their division. Sandra Lougheed 8-22 MIXED VOLLEYBALL proved to be a very successful innovation at Viscount this year. Each rade nine was represented by two teams. Competitions took place during the noon hour which -nade then especially popular with the lunchroom gang who had a pleasant diversion to turn to after gulping their sandwiches. Mho won? ’fell, it doesn ' t really matter. In any case, you ' ve probably guessed it. It was the Smith brothers again who cane up with the two best teams. The game to watch saw Jin ' s team finally upset Jerry ' s for top spot. • • ■ _ • ' Vi.

We beat Balmoral easily in the semi-finals; however, in the final game dranton romped off with the City Championship. Our fine team consisted of Linda Sheppard, Ilarylyn Sheskey Wendy Stone, Sharon Smith, Georgine Ross, Joan Wray, Donna McCannel, Pat Patterson, Diane Courtice and Monika Kleina. Sharon Smith 9-3 HOUSELEAGUE BASKETBALL . . Basketball highlighted the ’winter houseleague activities for both the boys and , girls in the Junior High. In the girls ' division , the grade nines were the only teams to complete their schedule before the tire came to make way for the Junior and Senior All-Star teams. In the grade nine competitions, Sharon Smith ' s 9-3 team.took the houseleague champion¬ ship by edging Wendy Stone ' s 9-6 team. Sharon Smith 9-3 ' i Boys ' houseleague basketball this season featured a lot of hard-fought games and there was a good, calibre of basketball played by sUch fellows as Bob Stull, Doug Grant ayne King, Jon Constable, Jim and Gerry Smith, John McKay and Jim MacDonald. When all the scheduled games were played a small version of the World Series of Basketball was played by the top teams in each grade. After our ears stopped ringing from the wild yells of the boys fighting for the elusive basketball, we glanced at the scoreboard and saw that Rooms 8-8 and 9-1 had emerged the champions of their divisions. ’ Abie Okazaki 9- 7 I GIRLS ALL-STAR BASKETBA LL After a brief exposure to the fundamentals of basketball, our Junior Girls broke off into four teams: Dribbling Dolls, Basket Babes, BennettiBandits and discount Victors. On March 1, the final game was held, a: clash between the Victors and the Bandits. The Victors took that game and represented our school at the Playday on March 5. Cur hard-fighting team coached by Enid Donovan and Kathy McDaid, found that it could not check the taller Colonel Walker girls. Our Junior Girls ' team included Joan Talbot, Marge Maliphant, Susan Alexander, Carol Harvey, Dixie Birney, Janice Cameron, Claire Fraser, Maureen McKinley, Peggy Smith and Shirley Zmurchyck. . ,• Sandra Lougheed 8-22 Mrs. Ghitter .put together a very good Senior All-Star team this year. It was not quite good enough, however, to make .the finals. Although the girls lost their games against Colonel Walker and Rideau, they did win one game against King Edward by a . wide margin. The. team consisted of Sharon Smith (Captain) ' , Georgine Ross, Wendy Stone, Linda Sheppard, Donna McCannel, Marylyn Sheskey, Joan Wray, Darlene Berrington, Carol Evans, Sharen Harris, Joan Atkinson and Karen Hertzberg.

After a few practices, the old pros , Lome Scott, Dave Willis, Jim MacDonald, Jim Hall and Jack Mayell were back in shape and the ■ many rookies were coming along fast. We felt,we were ready to take on all comers. Our confidence dwindled a little when we lost our first twm games to Colonel Walker and King Edward. After these two set-backs we started to click and won all four of the remaining games. Ron Stewart BOYS ALL-STAR BASKETBALL (Continued ) played outstanding ball for his first year. Unfortunately, our best efforts were not enough to beat out Colonel Walker for the championship of the league. Abie Okazaki 9-7 The Senior Boys opened the season with a loud bang by trouncing King Edward. Twenty-eigfrt of our forty points were netted by those fabulous Smith brothers. The Purple and Whites were brought down to earth in their second game by the stalwart Colonel Walker squad. Too soon, the final whistle of the season was heard and we walked off the floor with a respectable tally of three wins as against three losses. All the team members listed below extend their sincere thanks to Mr. Semkuley for his fine coaching: Ron Cummings Gordon Brewer Gary Reynolds Gerry Smith Jim Smith Jon Constable Chuck Ross Glen Hartley John McKay Laurie Sherman Gary Lee Bob Stull Derrill Lade11 Doug Grant. Chuck Ross 9-3 BORDENBALL ...... For a short time last fall each, grade seven boy was another Jackie Parker, for through bordenball he was able to’ get hands on the eccentric oval pigskin for the first time. In the competitions, 7-16 and 7-17 emerged with the two- top teams. The grade eights played their last games of school bordenball this year, for next Fall they will go on to touch football. Room 8-8 managed to vrin the honours, but 8-15 was not far behind. Brian Sykes 8-8 ALL-STAR SOCCER The Junior Soccer team, coAched by Mr. Hodgert, was made up of boys from all three junior high grades. This aggregation displayed a real fighting spirit but did not have enough playing time together to develop into a smooth-operating machine. Kind Edward and Colonel Walker gave us a bad time — but never mind boys — there ' s always next year! The Senior Soccer team, coached by Mr. Vogel, used a few tricks of the trade to gain advantage over two of tRe opposing teams, Rideau and King Edward. One of these tricks was the Smith brothers unique foot-gear — a one runner, one soccer shoe combina¬ tion. But our tricks ran out and we lost to the powerful Colonel Walker squad in the semi-finals. • ' Brian Sykes 8-8 JUNIOR HIGH IfJTER-SCHOOL BADMINTON Rideau did it again! But their crown is in real jeopardy as Viscount Bennett threatens just a little more each year. This year it was a repeat ' performance of last year, with Rideau placing first and Viscount second. Next year watch us break Rideau ' s chain of victories. Our team included Susan Alexander, Gerry Smith, Joan Talbot, Jon Constable, Sally Burkell, Jim Smith, Sharon Smith, David Willis, Carol Evans, Lome ' j cott, Maureen McKinley, Jim Perkins, Dixie Birney, Jack Mayell, and Sandra Lougheed, manager. Many thanks are extended to Mr. Bryan for his time and effort in training this fine team. . Sandra Lougheed 8-22 INDOOR -TRACK MEET Our first attempt at an indoor track meet took place in the gym on the afternoon of April 29. ’ Everyone enjoyed the half holiday from school work and the event also served to help the Phys. Ed. teachers sort out the better athletes from the just hopefuls ' . ' When the total points were tallied, the winning grade-rooms were 7-i4, 8-8 and 9-3. This preparatory track meet was such a great success, we hope it will continue as an annual event in future years. Joan Wray 9-7 SENIOR HIGH SPORTS GRADE X .HOUSELEAGUES ■; t -... i ' A ' .

Grade Ten Boys ' Interschool Basketball Team. On Friday, December 7th, the” chosen. ' .. team lost its ' : first ganie to Queen Elizabeth by, a 29, to 25 score. The fact ' that this.vn v. r as not a home game is a possible excuse for our defeat. Three days later we jour¬ neyed to Earl Gfey ' s gym where we defeated St. Mary ' s team 40 to 16. Tom McKenzie starred by sinking half of our points. The third game was,played here in the V.B. gym against Q.E. on the 14th of December. Our sturdy V.B. team showed them How to play real basketball by winning 70 to 44. ' Twenty-two of our points were scored by j- Stah BTack. This was our ' centre, Dave Erskine s ' ,last game . ,.. , ; ' Our first game in the New Year gave us a 24 to 13 victory over St. Mary ' s. Four days later, on January 11th we ventured to Queen Elizabeth where we were outplayed to a 37 to 22 loss. Dean Ross did his best by making seven of our points. On the 14th, St. Mary ' s team came to Viscount where we were kepi on our toes to win by a close ' 27 to 24. Top scorers were Tom McKenzie with 11 and, Jim Dunsmoor with 5, Probably the season ' s most exciting game was the exhibition against some of Western ' s Junior team,. The final score: Wester n 62, Viscount: Bennett 53. This was ' much better than we ' had expected ‘to do. Top scorer, Stan Black (17 points) and Dean Ross (10 points) we re both fouled out. Wendell Nicholson did h is best to make up for them‘by scoring 14 points. On Monday, January 21st, we played our last, game against St. Mary ' s.

Not counting the exhibition game, we won fifty percent of the games we played, so we may say it was a fairly successful season, Jim Dunsmoor 10-30 GRADE TEN BOYS ' INTERSCHOOL TOUCH FOOTBALL Last fall, when the houseleague touch football was over, Mr. Semkuley began training the grade ten boys who were interested in making the interschool teams. During the first week of tryouts Jack Truran and Ron Huck were chosen as team captains. Jack and his team played the first game against our one and only opposition, Queen Elizabeth. The game, which was played on Viscount Bennett soil, ended in a 0 - 0 tie. In the second game, which was also played at home , Ron Huck ' s team was de¬ feated 24 to 0. The final game was played at Queen Elizabeth. Viscount was repres¬ ented by a combination of the best of our two teams. The victors ' - was ours by a 2 to 0 score. A safety touch gave us the two points. Although the season was short, the bcy3 enjoyed the play while it lasted. It gave over two dozen Viscount Bennett boys a chance to get out and show how well they could play football, or at least have fun trying, Mr. Semkuley deserves a big applause for the time and effort he put in to coach these rugged teams. Jim Dunsmoor 10-30 BOYS’ INTERSCH00L ALL-S TAR STV-M4N TACKLE RUGBY Think back. Autumn 1936, You may remember seeing a dozen little white men doing unusual manoeuvres in Richmond Park. Though you may have doubted it, they were earthlings - Viscount Bennett ' s six-man tackle teams at practice. As for the Inter¬ school part of their title, the only other school they played was Queen. Elizabeth. There were two teams: junior and senio - ”. The junior team ranged from Joe Burrit up,while the senior team ranged from A1 Smith down. There was no middle point, as several players played on both teams. The junior tearnfe captain vras Greg Horton and Stan Black piloted the senior team. The first game was played at Broadview Field. Stan Black starred with three touchdowns and Dave Erskine made one to give the senior team a 24 to 12 victory. The junior team played the second game on the Grid Iron at Mewata.

TRACK AND FIELD (Continued) Senior High . Although our Grade X Track Team practically outnumbered our cheer¬ ing section, plenty of noise was made in an effort to urge the team on. The High School Track meet held on the 24th of May was Viscount ' s first taste of Senior High competition. With a great deal of help from our cheering section and with the ' expert supervision of our coaches, we fared very well. The following persons were able to come through with point winning performances: Allen Smith, Jim Clark, Greg Horton, Dave James, Dean Ross, Stan Black Seigfried Epp, Bob Grant, Barry Worsfold and Wendell Nicholson. .7 ' . . •.

First of all, a library needs books.- Then comes the active librarians who check books in or out in the morning, noon and after school. This job is taken over by the room librarians in library period. ' Say old chap, you are doing swell. What comes next? - Well, we need people to keep us books clean arid there are the grade seven and eight work committees. • 1 :;i V hat do they have to do to keep us clean? Well, they do pocketing, washing, shellack¬ ing and book reviewing. Then if they want to raise money,- they can sell donuts and pop at Mr. Cooke ' s drama nights. With this money they can buy a picture of R.B. -Bennett to hang in the library. Then if they have any money -left over, they can buy silk screens. Let ' s go over and tell her our ideas. So with the ideas in action,- the two books lived happily ever after. Barbara Fraser. PHOTOGRAPHY CLUB Hold that posei beckons a.patient and determined voice. In case you are in doubt of whose voice it is, it ' s Mr. Ramsey ' s. Hr. Ramsey is sponsor of the Photography Club. Mr. Ramsey stalks the halls, gym and wherever students ' activities are in progress hoping to catch people about the school in an interesting poge. With his trusty camera, he goes off to the dark room to develop-the pictures. . The school is most fortunate to have Mr. Ramsey, who is an avid photographer and camera expert. Prints of many casual snap¬ shots by the Photography Club can be found in most wallets of students throughout the school. The many pictures within this year¬ book speak the success of the club and we do sincerely appreciate the fine work that has been done. Barbara Fraser CLUBS VISIT FROM MARS : ■ ' roM ■ ... This is the Space Ship I.C.U. reporting to home base - Mars . We are neanng our destination (Viscount Bennett School). Are our orders straight? Check on Service Clubs. ,, . Yes, go ahead Space Ship I.C.U. ' • , A very orderly and organized group of boys , and girls are barring our approach at the moment. These evidently are the Safety Patrols whose responsibility twice a day is to facilitate the Earthlings out across the busy intersections. This, group, under the guidance of Earthman, Mr. Gee, was successful in obtaining an efficiency award from the City Traffic ' Department. . .r, We have now gained.access to the school, but are now overwhelmed by a vast mass of Earth students trying to regain lost articles before the mammoth Lost and.Found Sale at 3?35 p.m. Four sales of this type have netted those in charge of this club 14;25 which was turned over to the school treasurer for some useful purpose. Several Earth students including Ken Arkell, president; .and Viendy Hillard, secretary, have worked under Miss Leggatt’s supervision to provide this very worthwhile service to the school. We are now proceeding down the main hall where we see two older Earth students also performing a service for the school. They are John Rollingson and Elliot Gelfand, who tell us that the rather lengthy pages in their possession are lists of films which they will order and set up for class study at a specified time. They are members of the Audio-Visual Club, We have now turned left and are investigating the source of a strange : mixture of buzzing, pounding and changing sounds. This is the Shop Service Club. These boys are really industrious. They put a lot of time and effort into their projects. With Hr. Rhodes assisting, they have managed to complete many valuable props in, use: around the school; e.g. picture frames, copper tools, checker boards and dar k room equipment. Track equipment has even been rebuilt by these ingenious boys. i , ,, It is almost time to conclude our brief visit.one moment. I have just be en informed of two other service clubs existent in this school. They are the Boys’ Equipment Club ' and the Girls’ Service Club. It is the responsibility of the former to distribute sport equipment when necessary, with the running at noon of the canteen during the winter months. It is now‘1:45 p.m. We are now leaving Earth with our up-to-date report on noon hour activities at ' Viscount Bennett, Proceeding to Mars. Out and over. •f. l Roger ,.

CREATIVE DANCE One, two, three, leap; four, five, six, hopl I know this does not sound too creative, but nevertheless this was the routine the girls i-h the group had to go through before becoming the. (talented?) dancers you saw performing at a Pep Rally and the Gympede, Although they had to work, Mrs. Ghitter’s policy was not all work and no play. If you listened hard, you might have heard Lynne Best and Viola Dueck inventing an entirely new step} or if you peeked into the lunchroom on Thursday night, you prob¬ ably would have seen Norma.Vfaittemore and Rosalie Carter perfecting their stag leaps. All in all they had a terrific year and I’m sure you enjoyed watching the results of their efforts. . - Kathy McDaid, 10-30 CLUBS VOCAL CLUB � : ' ' .V r . „ ..•••• • • • . , . ; . This is the school......Viscount Bennett. I work here. I ' m a string. A violin string. It is Friday, 3:30 p.m. I am working the day watch in the East Recreatien Room. TTy partner is a bow and my chief is Mr. Semkuley, It all started last Sept¬ ember, when a group of young vocalists gathered together to. form what is knovm as the Vocal Club - dum - de - dum. - dum. During the term, I have been faithfully used for practice in preparation for two Pep. Rallies in this school and the Demonstration Festival at Balmoral Junior High School. On these occasions I became very familiar with the tunes of I ' ll Pass by Your Window and Keep on Hopin ' , but when the time came for the actual performances, my partner and I were packed away in our case, and the choral group was accompanied by Ingrid Jensen at the piano. On June 11th a Spring Tea was held, in the gymnasium in and for the school of Viscount Bennett. The two numbers, Whispering Hope and Just A-wearin ' For You were sung, completing a successful performance of the highest degree. These will serve as a remembrance of the .choral group for a period not exceeding a lifetime. This is a Mark V.B.J.H. Production. Enid Donovan, 10-32. BOOSTER CLUB Hi, everybodyl and one of the main features of the Booster Club is off to a start-. The club decided at its first meeting that the best way to boost Bennett ' s many clubs and .activities would be to let the students see them in action. So, every other Friday of the .year., the gym is crowded with students waiting for another Pep Rally to start. Under the leadership of Miss Playfair, a chair gang, cheering section, prop- movers and ushers were orgsnized. The emcees were Ismay Jempson, Jackie Patrick and Joan Jackson • Another branch of the Booster Club is represented by the cheerleaders. The Senior High group was chosen early in the fall and appeared at Pep Rallies, basketball games and later the track meet. Those from the Junior High were picked in March and were seen at many activities in the school. The Booster Club has been responsible for building up much school spirit and is looking forward to even greater achievements next year. Joan Jackson, 10-30 LEADERS ' GROUP . The Leaders ' Group was organized on October thirteenth to assist teachers and substitute teachers in warm-up exercises in Physical Education classes and before inter¬ school games. Volleyball, Basketball, Tumbling and Track were taught during their respective seasons under instructors Mr. Bryan, Mrs. Ghitter, Mrs. Kushnir, Mr. Hodgert and Mr. Semkuley. Some of the more outstanding athletes in the club included Sharon Smith, Kathy McDaid, Joan McNab, Enid Donovan, Georgine Ross, Gerry Smith, Jim Smith, Glen Hartley and Jim MacDonald. These people and many more enjoyed all the clubfe varied activities. Roberta Ross, 10-30 CLUBS SCIENCE CLUB The Science Club is very new, organized in April. Under the mentorship of Mr. Gee, the club will be a great asset to the school in future years. The objectives are to aasist in science instruction and to bring about a keener interest in science. . The capable executive consisted of -John Ower President, John Rollingson - Vice President, Marilyn Lougheed - Secretary. ! ’ The members are looking forward to continuing the club next year. Roberta Ross, 10-30. WRESTLING CLUB The Wrestling Club, with twenty-one enthusaists under the direction of Mr. Vogel and coach Stan Black, had a very successful year. The winners and runners-up of the City Championships went to Edmonton on March 23rd for the Provincial Championships. Stan Black, A1 Smith and Gary Morris came home with the honours in their respective classes, while Mr. Wilcox arrived after one hour of sleep, bags under his eyes and completely exhausted. I ' m sure all the boys in ' the club enjoyed themselves throughout the tern and will be ready for more wrestling next year. Roberta Ross, 10-30 BADMINTON CLUB The Badminton Club began the year with about two-hundred interested players from all four grades in the school. Although this number diminished slightly, interest was upheld under the very able direction of Mr. Bryan, Mrs. Kushnir, lir. Gee andMiss Mac¬ Donald. The grade sevens showed special promise and should do well in the next years. Interested grade nine and ten students were able to go to the City Recreation Badminton for extra practice. The Junior High School came second in the tournament, while the Senior High School put on an outstanding performance in the Demonstration Tournament, Roberta Ross, 10-30 DRAMA SOCIETY Although definite plans have not been made, there is hope that next year there will be a new club added to the already numerous extra-curricular activities in Viscount Bennett. This club will be the Drama Society and will be under the most cap¬ able direction of Mr. W. Cooke. Enid Donovan, 10-32.

This is the reason for the Student Council - to give the students an opportunity to voice their opinions on matters pertaining to the operations of the school. After the beginning of the school term, each room elected a boy and girl as their Student Council representatives. There was not even time to hold a .school-wide election for officers, so the following executive was elected within the council: President - Vice-President- Secretary- Treasurer- Abie Okazaki Wendy Stone Marilyn Mann Judy Stone Grade 7 Executive Representative- Eddie Schey The following conveners were chosen for the various committees: Social - Athletic- House- Red Cross- Joan Wray and Jim MacDonald Linda Sheppard and Jon Constable Sharen Harris Marilyn Mann and Ron Cummings. The Council undertook many responsibilities and the splendid social evenings, awards, bike check and Red Cross drive were a few of our accomplishments. Our Staff advisors, Mr. Gish and Mr. Bryan, did a splendid job in guiding our affairs. The Council members wish to extend their thanks to them and to the student body for their co-operation. Abie Okazaki 9-7 GRADE-X STUDENT COUNCIL At the beginning of our school term, each grade ten room elected two represent¬ atives as members of the Student Council, which in itself represents the basis of democracy. The bight representatives ran for various executive positions and were voted on by the high school student body. Jim Dunsmoor is our president and keeper of the slaves; Sandra Mather, vice-president, takes over when.Jim is sick or late for meetings (late 25 % of the time) and yours truly, the one who keeps;minutes, writes letters and does many other assorted things such as writing this article. As Committee Conveners we have: , Athletic - Greg Horton (the athlete) and Judy Armfield (the scholar) Social - Charlie Parker and Marietta Dorgan (hep cats) House - Kathy McDaid ! (scholar, athlete and hep-cat). The Council has worked on various activities through the year, such as socials, helping make up rules for the High School Wing (of which there are just the right amount), writing a constitution for a Students ' Union and organizing shags at noon- hours. • ’ I would like to express sincere thanks to Kiss Jagoe, our staff supervisor, on behalf of the Council for the wonderful work she has done with us: moulding us into a compact group, teaching us parliamentary procedure and best of all - for her untiring patience. I would also like to thank you, the student body, for co-operating with us, and the teachers in making this school year the wonderful one that it is. (By the way, I toe am a student, believe it or not). Elliot Gelfand Secretary, Student Council. PURPLE AND WHITE No special awards will be given to those who have already recognized the fact that our Yearbook is printed in the school colours. However, for those who have not noted that our pages are Purple and White , we would like to draw your . attention to it now. ■9 JUNIOR HIGH SOCIALS Dear Karmadukie, Wow! ' I’ve sure had a hectic time scampering around this term. Boy, I could hardly keep up with all the activ¬ ities about this school. I really had a riot at all the Junior High . lits - uh - social evenings. You should have seen the Grade 7, 8 and 9 ' s in the gym at noons and in their phys. ed. classes, stumbling their way through the new dahcfe steps being taught to them by the phys. ed. teachers. However, in the end, believe it or not, they were well rewarded for their effofts when ' three successful social evenings resulted. First, ' oh November 30th, the Grade 9’s held the Fall Finale. Manl Speak of having a swell timel Those kids ' heally took advantage of the good ' job the social committee did, under the leadership of Joan Wray. Wendy Stone, Joan Wray, Jon Constable and Lorne Scott did a great job of emcee¬ ing the whole program throughout the night. Although cheese wasn ' t on the menu, I hate to admit it, but........the pop and spudnuts were every bit as good. After the kids all had their fill, they hopped to it again; and what ' s more, the teachers and chaper¬ ones kept right up with them. Yes, it was a real night to remember...... To get on with it - the Grade 8 ' s had a real cool party on February 1st, called Cupid’s Cut-Ups 1 The gym was beautifully decorated with red and white hearts and streamers. The social conveners, also M.C. ' s, Judy Stone and Bob Biggart, did a terrif¬ ic job of arranging the whole evening ' s program. The kids really lived it up to the records of Bill Haley and other cool cats . Woweel The lunchroom was again in the limelight, as half why through the party, refreshments were served. When the shin¬ dig broke up, the crowd emerged from the gym very slowly but happily. Well, speaking of happy kids, the Grade 7 ' s were just that on February 8th at the Friendship Frolic. Seeing that this was to be their first big night, the social committee, with Rickie Wilson and Diana Nelson as the conveners, really put forth an effort to make this a memorable evening for the 120 Grade Seveners attending. As a result, the lit was a smashing success. If this dance was an example of what these eager beavers can do in the future - BEWARE - cuz these kids will really give the eights and nines a good run for their money! Crumb, I ' d better close and get some shut-eye while the chances are still good, cuz from what I ' ve heard, there ' s to be a closing party for the Grade 9 ' s sometime in June. So ' bye for now. Your lovin ' cousin, Herman Mouse. P.S. For most of the time I was under Miss Playfair ' s chair, but she didn ' t look under, darn! I guess she just didn ' t have time to, becuz, like all the other teachers, she was pretty busy assisting the students in making their social evenings successessful. Love, Herm.

On November 9th, the Grade Tens started the term out with the Senior Stomp ' , 1 It proved to be a very successful evening and went over with a bang. In the latter part of November, discount Bennett ' s roof was lifted again, when the Grade Tens from both Bennett and Queen Elizabeth gathered together for the Friend¬ ship Frolic . Statistics say participants of the evening had a tremendous time, but the floor took quite a beating with the jiving, rhumba, samba, foxtrot and numerous other dances that went on. . . In Queen Elizabeth on December 14th the two schools met again for another shuffle, when they danced to records after an ' exciting basketball game. Following two other basketball romps, the Grade Tens from Bennett were invited over to Queen Elizabeth for a final ’shin-dig. In addition, during the pre-track season, Bennett held several Platter Parties either in the gymnasium or in one of the recreation rooms. These shags were open to all Grade 9 and 10 students usually every other Thursday or Friday of the month. On Ilarch l ' 5th a Shamrock Shuffle gathered together both the Grade 10 ' s and Grade 9 ' s. This event was-enjoyed by all. This is radio 56-57, V.B.H.S., the station of identification.

Even if you haven’t the two selections which follow will make these sights seem real and near to you. Autumn in the Woods In mid-September as the sun dips toward the south and shadows lengthen, a sense of uneasiness hangs over the woods. The soft dying days are still balmy, but in the evenings streamers of mist gather above the stream beds. Outwardly the woods appear unchanged, yet throughout their quiet chambers all life seems poised upon the brink of some immense but unfor- seeable event. Winter is nigh! David Ross, 9-12 The Seagull The seagull flying over a ship. Gently swoops to take a dip, Down through the sky onto the rail. Then gently floats up to the sail. His wings he rests, then flies once more Across a breezy, sandy shore. Where children from their houses go, While he watches, white as snow. Norma Chisholm, 8-11. LITERARY And now for some short stories. In the four selections which follow, one has a surprise ending, one is about creatures unknown to man, one will keep you chuckling for hourd and one is a matter of life and death. Quite an interesting batch of reading. SUCCESS OR FAILURE ? He stood there in the shadows, tense, nervous, poised for action. Not long, now. His unseeing eyes-stared at the people who hurried back and forth; they were noisy but he didn ' t hear them. Soon...-.soon.... How many years had he waited for this moment? Ten? Fifteen? Ever since he was a kidl Shaking fingers scratched a match, lit the cigarette which dangled from his twitching lips, then almost as quickly stubbed it out. A few minutes and he would know. A lifetime of dreaming and working and training - an eternity of watching and waiting and listening - a few minutes and his career would rise or fall. Would something go wrong? Would there be a hitch, a hesitation? Would he be a success or failure? Readyl He choked ' down a deep gulp of air, pulled up his mask and ran his finger¬ tips over the cold metallic smoothness of the object in his pocket. Now! He blinked and walked into the room which was bright and familiar to him. Over in a corner a mousy-looking cashier counted wads of money - beautiful money. A crisp brunette beamed brilliantly at a housewife who stood before the teller ' s wicket. Two old women gossiped with a shabby army veteran. The cheerful bustle gagged and became a deadly hush as they■caught sight of him. He heard his own voice, miraculously without a tremor, giving the commands re¬ hearsed so often. The brunette stopped beaming and with darting little glances at the revolver, began to put the money into his tattered suitcase. One of the old women tittered hysterically and the old soldier opened his mouth to protest but a wave of the weapon sent them cowering against the wall, A warm glow settled over him. He was master; they were eating out of his hand and the entire world lay at his feet. He was a t amer, taming his lions, Nero casting captives to the beasts, Alexander, terrible in battle and Judas jingling thirty pieces of silver in his pocket. ■ ' He leaned over to pick up the-suitcase. From the corner of his eye he saw a form lunge. Wheeling, he fired once - twice. The figure folded and crumpled like a balloon relieved of its airi Suddenly a terrible sickness, a choking nausea was sticking in his throat; his whirling, twisting stomach became a pit of crunching ice. His knees melted away..... The curtain dropped. ' With one accord the audience rose to roar a standing ovation. Later, critics dashed to typewriters to assure the public that a great new young actor had begun his climb to glory --to success.

It was of no avail. Fleet was panic stricken and began- to tear across the- field on a dead run. Just ahead, Kim saw a low-hanging branch and tried to duck. She was quick - but not quick enough. The ground seemed to rise to meet her and she struck it with a terrific impact. Black¬ ness swept over her with nauseating sickness as she lapsed into unconsciousness. After that she knew nothing until the next morning when the voice of her mother awakened her, How do you feel, honey? - Mom...I...I think I fell, didn ' t I? When I was riding. I know, sweetie.

Why not? she whispered hoarsely. . Oh, it ' s nothing to worry about, - Mrs. Shannon said quickly. Just a temporary fracture. But you won ' t ever be able to walk if you haven ' t got the will to do so. So you see, Kim She paused at the tortured look on Kim ' s face. Her eyes were screwed shut as if to push the-pain aw y. _ . .... . rr , Mom, Kim said through tight lips. Mom, I can ' t move my legs. They won ' t movel I know Kim. They won ' t be able to move for a while. I told you that. . But Kim was too frightened to listen. She opened her mouth to scream. Kim-l Mrs. Shannon shouted frantically. Listen to me! You will be able to .walk. I promise you tl Now, honey, take this pill and go to sleep. Kim did as she was told and angrily watched her mother departi It ' s the horse ' s fault, she whispered fiercely as the door closed. If it were not for.Fleet Unable to continue, she stopped and broke into hysterical, uncon¬ trolled sobs. If I can ' t walk again, qr ride again - I ' ll-diel I ' ll just;diel She thought for a moment.and decided that praying might help the situation. • God, please make me well. Don ' t let-my legs be....paralized,.,.for the rest of my life. Please! .. At the end of two weeks- ' time the doctor returned. Well, Kim, how are you? he greeted her with a cheerful smile, I ' m O.K. she replied. But you might as well know, I can ' t walk. The doctor threw back his head and laughed. ' ' You ' ve certainly got yourself convinced, haven ' t you? Don ' t talk such nonsense. Of course you can. Just use-as much strength - and willpower - as you possibly can and you ' ll be able to. r; - -■ Kim shook her head. I can ' t. It hurts too much,-- nearly kills me half the time. • ! - A t _ ....... , So you ' re afraid of a little pain? . Dr. Weathers said contemptuously. LITTLE pain! - Kim repeated increduously. If you only knew... Look, you put your arm around me and I ' ll help you, the_ doctor said. Kim hoisted herself up and stood on the floor. Now I ' ll let you go alone. • „ . ..i .... No, don ' t, she protested, teetering back and forth hesitantly. The feeling of being on her own two feet again overwhelmed:her- and she collapsed in a heap, cursing under,her breath. She looked up at the doctor. . See, I told you I couldn ' t walk,, she. said with conviction. Now,you listen to me, young lady, Dr. Heathers said in exasperation.

I ' ll just sleep a minute and then I ' ll try, .I ' ve got lots of -time ' ... do it. . .later, r .. , She slept much longer than she had, intended,for when she .awoke it was dark. The house seemed to be empty, so Kim decided that the .family must be down the road visiting ■the Killers. Something had awakened her. But what? She listened intently. The noise came distinctly. It was Fleet, neighing; He sounded,as if he were in great pain and ' im felt herself cringe instinctively. Horseman that that she was, she realized that there was definitely something wrong with the horse. . ' i ' I didnlt know he was sick, she said, puzzled.: i No one told me. What on earth can be the matter with him? A Brush With Fate (Continued) LITERARY Again and again Fleet cried loudly and Kim knew that if the vet didn ' t come soon, he was in danger of death. She swung herself around resolutely and threw off the covers. Gathering all her strength, she pulled herself up. I can ' t do it, she cried helplessly. Oh, please, God! Please let me be able to walk! She gritted her teeth and broke out into a cold sweat. Perspiration poured down her face as she struggled to take the first step. The chair supported her, then she, bureau, the doorknob -•and finally she reached the top of the stairs. She counted them. There were fifteen. Fifteen stairs to go down by herself. She could do it she knew she could. She started : ddwn slowly, leaning heavily on the bannister. Eight, nine..ten..eleven - and she tripped! The carpet broke he ' r fall and she lay there with clenched fists, her eyes full of tears. Fleet ' s persistant neighing urged her on. If only he would stop! With tremendous effort she rose to her feet, reached for the phone and picked up the receiver. Hello, operator? Get me the vet. Emergency. • The vet said he would come right over. Ten minutes later he rushed into the barn to find Kim holding her horse ' s head in her lap. •In a voice barely audible to him she said, You ' re too late, Doc. Her face was streaked with tears and she-buried it in Fleet ' s mane to hide it. I ' m sorry, Kim, the vet said. I knew he wouldn ' t pull through when he .got pneumonia that night in the storm. Everyone was so worried about you that they forgot to rub him down. I ' m... truly sorry. It doesn ' t do much good to be sorry... but - thanks. The vet left quietly, leaving Kim with the most sorrowful burden ever to be present in her young life. . She had regained the use of her legs, but had lost the life of her horse, who had meant more to her.than all the legs in the world. Jonene Pettit, 9-6. MY FIRST PLAIJE RIDE Every tine I have to travel on a plane, I get cold feet. You may class this as hysteria, or as an ungenerous criticism of a system of transportation that has established itself as the fastest, safest and most convenient ever invented, but that ' 3 the way..it is with ' -me, ' The first thing I do-when I get on the bus for the air terraihal is to look at the other passengers to see if they are the type of people ’with whom I would bfe content to die. By the time we reach the airport, I have sweated off at least a pound of weight,- , At.the airport I try to fall into conversation with the pilot of the plane on which I am to fly, and also with some of the members of its cfew. I have a number of questions to ask Which are apparently quite casual but which in reality go to the heart of the matter. I wish to ask the pilot: Are the very best of mechanics checking every inch of the plane? Have you, or any members of your family, ever been subject to giddiness, loss of memory or nervous attacks? Will you fly the plane very fast? Will it be necessary to travel at more than fifty feet above the ground? To the radio operator I say, Can you understand the Worse Code even if it is sent very fast? and Wonderful sets they have nowadays. Do they ever break down? Finally I talk to the air hostess and make a little request that if anything goes wrong, that.’I be informed of it some time in advance of the other passengers. Re-assured about these matters, I pluck up enough courage to stagger into the plane. I cannot usually decide whether it is better to sit in the front and bear the full brunt of the impact, or to sit in the back and run the risk of being carried away if the tail unit should fall off. I usually choose a central position, where I can look out of the windows and see if the propellors are turning properly. LITERARY My First Plane Ride (Continued ) Five minutes afte-r v. r e are air-borne, I disentangle my fingernails from the up¬ holstery and release the safety belt, which I had drawn so tight that it stopped my breathing. The door of the pilot ' s cabin opens and the pilot himself comes out. What sort of recklessness is this? He has left .some half-fledged boy at the wheel. I watch with horror as he strolls down the aisle, chatting with the passengers. I .know what he ' s doing. Both wings have fallen off, but he ' s saying that everything is all right. When my turn comes, the pilot says r Good morning! Are you having a pleasant trip? I merely nod, speechless. All I want him to do is to get back to his work and remove that mad office boy from the controls. I relax again when he slams the door of the cabin behind him. An hour goes by. I had a bad moment when the hostess leaned over and said some¬ thing which I was unable to hear. -It sounded like We are falling into the sea. I was halfway out of my seat, when I realized she was asking me if I would like some tea. Suddenly we are losing altitude.’ I look down and the earth is carpeted with railway lines, red brick houses, factory chimneys and telegraph poles. This is it. The percussion valve in the port cylinder has blown out. This is the emergency landing. I sink the old nails back into the upholstery and close ray eyes. There is a bump, a faint screech - we have gone through a cow? Then all is silent. We are alive, but where? I open my eyes. We are on the apron outside the terminal building. They are pushing a ladder up to the plane, I leave the plane with, a slight swagger. I am safe, in Northolt airport and less than an hour ago I was in Dublin. What L say, is that airplanes provide - the fastest, safest and most convenient means of travel in the world, but if you saw me you would never know it! Bobby We strop, 8-11 BATTLE OF THE TYRANTS So many years ago that it would make one weary counting them, the dinosaur lived. These were the landlords of the Earth, their Herculean bodies, bounced from behind a large clump of horsetails, and a fierce, monstrous creature would’pounce on an un¬ suspecting plant eater. Then you would hear the Tyrannosaurus; lord of the world, king of tyrants, deadliest of all the carnivorous dinosaurs bellowing aloud at his triumph. At this, the ponderous slow moving Brontosaurus would laboriously make his way into the sloughs and swamps that were his home and his very existence. His cousins, Diplodocus and Brachiosaurus, not so heavy as Brontosaurus but both depending on the swamps, would also make their ’way to them. All of the creatures from,the simple minded, small Mimus to the ponderous Brontosaurus, hid or took refuge in the swamps or hid behind the horse¬ tail clumps. For who would face the hideous death that awaited him ' when he faced the Tyrannosaurus. Only one spirited dinosaur from a dying race of 70 million years dared to face the fearful monster. The fight was on, but where was Tyrannosaurus? Had he finally met his match? Mo, he was hiding behind some of the.horsetails that had been used for this same kind of treachery so many times. Allosaurus screamed his challenge into the air, but still no Tyrannosaurus. Then, with a scream, a hideous blood curdling scream, the Tyrannosaurus leaped from behind his camouflage and landed on the Allosaurus with a thud. The All¬ osaurus, greatly surprised, found himself being swung from side to side; then he felt teeth biting deeper and deeper into his neck. He became short of breath and his bellow - LITERARY Battle of the Tyrants (Continued) like lungs, that once breathed so freely of the air, could now not find any of this substance that was so precious. Then with a great tremble the Allosaurus bent to death. The sky above was lit afire as the last rays of the sun splashed over the sky and fell on the clouds. Tyrannosaurus, lord of the world, king of tyrants, deadliest of all the carnivor¬ ous dinosaurs, bellowed aloud at his triumph. Eddie Schey, 7-16. J
