Page forty-two YEAR (Ehtba anb AtfmmatimtB WESTERN CANADA HI-Y CLUB This Club was formed four years ago under the mentorship of Mr. Johnson. It has as a background, many successful years at South Calgary, and so is not an entirely new organization. As a Club, it has sponsored such activities as the Debating Society, Current Events Club, Vocational Talks and Boys’ Sports. In addition, members meet once a week to discuss topics of current interest, and enjoy the fellowship of the Club. Club Motto: “To create, maintain and extend, throughout the school and community, high standards of Christian character.” Members: Mr. T. E. A. Stanley, honorary president; Mr. F. D. B. Johnson, mentor; Lloyd Hutton, president; Frank Johnson, vice-president; Bob Taylor, secre¬ tary; John Davidson, treasurer; Don Clay, Art Gill, Don Hoar, Ralph Hoar, Bill Fisher, Joe O’Connor, Roland Richardson, Ken Robertson, Bill Russell, Bonn Smith, Dick Stapells. DEBATING SOCIETY The Debating Society got away to a good start this year by electing Mr. Stevenson as club mentor. An inter-class debating league was drawn up and a great display of debating talent was brought to light. We, the students, would like to thank the teachers who showed such an active interest in these debates and trust that they were rewarded by the debating entertainment as were the students. It is the hope of the class of ’33 that debating will become an integral part of school activity in the years to come. The Executive was: President, Lloyd Hutton; Secretary, Frank Johnson. Representatives: Grade XII, Howard Patton; Grade XI, John Davidson; Grade X, Morris Shumiatcher. THE GIRLS’ ASSOCIATION About two years ago a Girls’ Association was formed in Western, to which every girl in the school belongs. This Club was organized for the purpose of pro¬ moting friendliness among the girls and also for sponsoring the Girls’ Initiation. We sincerely hope that this Association will continue in future years. Officers: President, Carrie Speer; Secretary, Gertrude Scott; Treasurer, Marion Egleston; First Vice-President, Patricia Mitchell; Second Vice-President, Dorothy Hutton.

BOOK Page forty-three WESTERN CANADA DRAMATIC CLUB In the early fall a Dramatic Club was formed in Western Canada High School, under the able leadership of Mr. P. S. Dyke. The officers for this year were elected as follows: President, Margaret Cawston; First Vice-President, Carrie Speer; Second Vice-President, Sanford Carter; Secretary, Mr. R. E. Stewart; Treasurer, Mr. J. Stevenson. Shortly after Christmas, following tedious rehearsals for a few months, three very successful plays were produced in the Assembly Hall of Central Collegiate. Those taking part in the first play, “The Spartan Girl,” were: Alice Ainslie, Duncan Campbell, Joyce Cheat, Sandy Patterson, Eric Richards, Carl Nickle, Marion Egleston, Betty Cawston, Ellen Rae, Marion Rae, Betty Mitchell, Marion Lipkind, Barbara McLennan. Included in the second play, “The Far-Away Princess,” were: Georgina Fotheringham, Basil Godfrey, Geraldine Mavor, Audrey Baxter, Betty Johnston, Mary Davidson, Gwen Britton, Dorothy Freedman, Carl Nickle. The players in the Comedy, “The Man in the Bowler Hat,” were: Carrie Speer, Bob Stevens, Peggy Robertson, Margaret Ogilvie, Sanford Carter, Howard Reeve, Stanley Hartroft, Eric Richards. The three plays brought helpful criticism and favorable comment, and next year we hope to start earlier and continue longer, so as to make yet another of Western Canada High School’s Clubs well known in the city. We are very much indebted to those who supported the Club, including teachers, students, and parents; and especially to Mr. F. S. Dyke who gave so unstintingly of his time, energy and genius, for the organization of the Club and the production of the plays. BOYS’ ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION As has been the custom formerly, a meeting of all the boys was held in September in order to elect an executive for the Boys’ Athletic Association. The results of the election were as follows: Honorary President, Mr. W. G. E. Pulleyblank; President, Lloyd Hutton; Secretary-Treasurer, Kenneth Clarke. New equipment for various sports was bought early in the season with money drawn from the Athletic Fund. In the past year the school’s sporting activities were not as successful financi¬ ally or otherwise as in previous years, although the Junior Rugby team tied for first place in their league. With the track meet drawing nearer, it is hoped that Western will regain some of the laurels she formerly held.
