Whenever an institution such as ours embarks upon a unique or different program, there will almost certainly be some degree of upheaval and dis­comfort for those participating, just as cer­tainly the institution will come in for its fair share of criticism from students, parents and the public in general. We have experienced all of these tilings this year. We have been fortunate for the most part in having students and parents and teachers who have been patient and understanding in the face of the changes occurring. Admittedly, we have made mistakes. It is unfortunate that when a new system of school­ing is devised that there is no model that fits exactly the philosophy or total environ­ment of a particular school. So, we arc often placed in the position of trying to find the best way by trial and error. If we have made mistakes, we apologize for them and assure you that we have learned from them and that the system is better because of the experience. The administration and staff at Churchill are STI 1.1. dedicated to three main principles: 1) Catering for the INDIVIDUAL needs of students. We realize that any two students do not learn at the same rate or in the same manner. Therefore, we arc endeavoring to provide a system that can accommodate these two factors. Likewise, different students arc interested in different things and by offering a broad range of subjects and an extensive extracurricular program we are trying to meet these needs as well. 2) Helping students develop a sense of responsibility. You have all reached the stage where you should be given the opportunity to make decisions and choices for yourselves. Making the decision and accepting the consequences for non-fulfillment, which is the difficult part to learn. This is a maturing process and will occur at different ages in any group of young adults: in other words, you will learn by your experience. We hope that by the time you have graduated from Churchill that you will have learned by your experiences. 3) Another principle that we hold to is the one of high academic standards. What is the usefulness of learning 40' of a particular subject? At Churchill a subject may take you longer but you will learn it better. We believe that we are on the right track. However, we agree that we must become much better at what we are doing. 1975-76 must and WILL BE a better year for all concerned. Hope you have a nice summer and have come back refreshed and eager to get involved. 1975-76 is going to be a bumper year. 6 IN SEARCH OF ME I sit here and I think I should be out-- Out, laughing Holding life in my hands and having love in me. I should be glowing with youth and energy; I should be vibrant, like a brilliant blazing fire, and my whole body should be alive. I should be sharing these moments with him. But instead . . . I look outside with empty eyes. Where arc those days and where is he? Where? Listlessly, aimlessly I walk from my chair and stare at the mirror; more important . . . Where is that girl?

GRIFFINS ’ BASKETBALL This year the Winston Churchill Griffins had a successful and enjoyable season. Their coach Gordon "Clem" Valgardson found coaching the Griffins was an invigorating experience, especially considering the changing room pep talks which he gave at every possible opportu­nity. Of course his devoted accomplice Colin Turner was always at his side. Colin received a "Dirty Old Man" trophy and Cord a certificate for being the "World's Greatest B. S. er" for their gallant efforts at coaching. The Griffins did not play many league games but did attend some tournaments. They did not come home empty handed from any of the tournaments they participated in. Two of their greatest achievements were making the finals in the Brooks Tournament to play against L. C. I. Clipper Queens and taking part in the South West Zone Finals. The Griffins, who played with only seven, had L. C. 1. down throughout the whole game, but within the last few minutes L. C. I. managed to out run them and win by five points. The Griffins had to play the Zone Finals with only six team members, lost to the Kate Andrews Larks by the narrowist possible margin, one point, after putting up a good fight. With the experience gained from the previous season the Griffins are sure to have a very profitable season next year.

We tried a new system this year and as a result, got off to a slow start. Once the system was mastered, we captured both the League and the South West Zone Tournament. Undefeated, we travelled to Ponoka and the provincials. Our standing was third in the province, which is the best Churchill has ever done in Volleyball. Personally speaking, I have never worked with a more dedicated group of girls. Only through their hard work and cooperation did we find out what it really meant to be a "team". Thanks again for the fantastic year. If we are together, nothing is impossibleBULLDOGS’ VOLLEYBALL The boy's volleyball team had a good year. Attendance at practices was better than it had been for the past few years, the boys worked hard, and the team improved enormously during the season. Sportsmanship was at a very high level. C ompetitively we did very well against the L. C. I. and last year's champions, Vauxhall. The other three teams had most of their top players from last year so with only two grade twelves, we lacked the experience to beat them. However, we won some games against every team in the league and did well in both the U. of L. and League tour­naments. In the S. W. Zone finals we played some of our best volleyball of the season but lost to W. R. Myers in Taber. Next season, with at least six players coming back, we should be a match for any team in the league.

Shining tin, such slender steel. Shallow men with hollow souls. People pushing, pounding, pavement, Children crying, coping, hoping. Wishers that will never find, A person with a peace of mind. Killing cattle-common heard, Taking profits (pricing pays) Many men with meat to cat. Living off the others' feat. Where's the Cod to give us hope? Forgiving sons across the sea­sons who wander, forgetting those Peasants who perish in poverty. Kymme PaulJAMES E. ANDERSON - Born and Attended school in Unity, Sask.

STUDENTS’ COUNCIL 75 If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever, be subtle or clever, be a pile driver. Hit the point once . . . then hit it a . . . tremendous whack. 1951PRESIDENTS’ MESSAGE KIM MILLER My high school career has now come to an end but these past three years will never be forgotten. Churchill is a school I will always be proud of. It has given me memories to cherish forever. It's not an easy job being president of a school, but 1 wouldn't have given it up for anything. Being on Student Council can be a lot of head­aches but on the other hand it can be very re­warding. You are told time after time that tilings are going wrong but you rarely hear any praise. This y'car we tried some new activities such as: The Homecoming, Christmas Prom and Craffitti Day. These were successful but can be improved over the years. A Student Council can't be ex­pected to do everything on its own. they need the support of the student body as a whole to make things work. I would like to thank our Student Council Ad­visor, Mai Clcwos, and my biggest thanks to all the members on Council for their patience and assistance throughout the year. My best wishes to the new Student Council. Make it a good year for everyone. In closing, remember: "C. H. S. we're proud to be, part of your great family'.

After many hard practices at the school or down at Indian Battle Park, we were ready for our first cross country meet. It was held at the University of Leth­bridge where we received the grand aggregate trophy for finishing first with a total of 4! points. We then went to provincials where Mike Duerden finished 10th in the Senior Boys Competitions in a field of 61. This brought cross country to a close for the year. SKI CL UB Standing.

S. had a fairly large membership and interest has continued throughout the year. Approximately twenty members play at least once a week. Club nights were Tuesday and Thursday from 7 to 9 p. m. although this varied during the year because of other sporting activities. On April 19, W, C. H. S. hosted the South West Zone Badminton Playoffs and the club had almost a full represen­tation in this tournament. Unfortunately, we were not strong enough in most events but Doug Stephens and Don Wilson went on to represent the Zone in the Provincial Playoffs. The club will be continued next year- and a new committee will be elected. All newcomers are welcomed and coaching will be given. 50 C ONGRA TULA TIONS DON AND DOUG.CHORUS & BANDTRA CK CL UB Back Row: Kim Gilchrist, Pete Neufeld, Hollie Wheeler, Marlene Martin, Butch Nergaard, Nellie Chow, Mark Shaskin, Len Dodson, Lorraine Daw, Evelyn Daw.

We were the "See B. C. Club" and on that morning, we were determined to get to sunny British Columbia. We left in a little drizzle, for Vancouver. After settling in the youth hostel, we went for dinner, then to the planetarium. With stiff necks we returned to the hostel. On the third day out, we visited Si­mon Fraser University, which resembled a set from a science-fiction movie, then we tried Stanley Park. It was Easter Sunday, so due to the crowd, we went to Capillano Island. In the warm coastal weather we hiked around, saw the fish hatchery and crossed the swaying suspension bridge. The P. N. E. was our next stop where we rode the various rides. After eating at the P. N. E. we once again made our way back to the hostel. Day 4 was the last day in Vancouver. After shopping for awhile we visited Stanley Park and the Public Aquarium. Supper was spent in Gastown at the Old Spaghetti Factory. Finally returning once more to "Ye Old Youth Hostel". The next day after breakfast on the ferry, we arrived on Vancouver Is­land. We dug for clams before we pushed on to Victoria. In Victoria, the time was our own. It was an easy walk to many of Victoria's attractions from our island lodgings, the Empress Hotel, The Wax Museum, Undersea Gardens, the Parliament Buildings, and the Provincial Museum. After two days in Victoria it was back to Lethbridge. We arrived to cold, clouds, and snow. A perfect trip was over, but it will live on in our minds and who knows, maybe next year some of us will return.

A scent is in the air. A rat, in hiding is somewhere near. Food. Inching forward, scutes gripping the soil, Co slowly, patiently, plenty of time to strike and coil. Scent. It's growing stronger, move with care, Awareness will cause it to run in fear. Rat! There, by the corn, found at last. Now is the time, grab it and fast, strike, squeal, miss, coil, defence, offence, attack, bite, fight, move back, kick, pain, struggle, Coil around it, constricting coils, killing coils, crushing. Slower movements, for the rodent suffocates, languishing, perishing, Dead. The rat, thick in girth with young unborn, More rats that would feast on the farmer's corn. Engulfing, consuming time as well as its prey, For a snake in man's domain, it's not wise to delay, But it takes time, it is a slow act to swallow. Half of bottom jaw moving, the other will follow, In a constant procession often repeated, Jaws drag in a rodent, completely defeated. With a bulge in its body, revealing its food, The snake would retire in a sluggish mood, But a noise. A sound the snake cannot hear, For evolution has left it without an car. The farmer, unaware of the snake, Approaches, caring not the noise he makes. Sounds the snake escape, but vibrations the snake perceives. A flicker of tongue, the awareness of man: The reptile must leave. Into the corn crib came the man, A bucket for cobs held in his hand. Trapped! The snake, in a defensive move, reared back. The man looked down, his hand went slack. Hisssss! A warning from the five foot snake. The man, in fear, picked up a rake. Halt. Time stands still. The opponents will stare, Each at the other, both in fear. The man's created by parents who said, "Tim only good snakes are those which are dead. Snakes are evil. They'll kill you if they can. Come across one, destroy it, if you're a man. " The snake is afraid for it learned in the past, Man tries to kill it, and kill it fast. Move. In a try to escape - an image of courage - The snake moved to attack in fury and rage. Leap. The man moved back and raised the rake, Directing his weapon at the head of the snake. Miss. Anticipating the downward blow. The snake moved back, frustrating its foe. Anger. Raising the sword of a modern knight, The farmer advanced, the snake saw its plight. Smash, dodge, swing, coil, strike, bit, beat, hit, stab, retreat, coil, pain, squirm, Coiled round the rake, blood flowing freely, the snake is dead. A non-poisonous snake, killed by one who hacks off its head. FOOL! The snake was not doing him any harm. It feasted on rats that destroy his farm. Derek BlySENIORSVALEDICTORIAN Derek Redman Mr. Chairman, honored guests, members of the faculty, parents, friends and fellow graduates. Our days in High School are nearing an end--passing quickly before our eyes. And when we think of graduating from High School we think not only of leaving Winston Churchill but also we come to realize how fortunate we arc, and how much we have to be thank­ful for, in our twelve years of schooling. As we look back we see the vital role of our parents and teachers in our education. We as a graduating class are very thankful to you, parents, for providing the proper guidance, constant tutoring and a never ending supply of moral support. For sometimes the thought of completing our education seems so far in the distance, that without your guidance, understanding and encouragement, we would surely never have made it as far as we have. But possibly the strongest force in enabling us to find our way through, what seemed at first to be an endless maze of dead ends, but later turned out to be our road of success was our teachers. It was you teachers who straightened that maze and directed us along the proper path. You are responsible for shaping our minds and forming our ideals, and it is these ideals that we will carry with us for the rest of our lives. You taught us not only the basics of Math and English and the Sciences, but you taught us many facts of life. From you we learned respect, self-confidence, and the ability to not only like, but to be liked by others. These things didn't come from the teachings in a classroom or a page from a book, but rather from the hearts of our teachers. We real­ize too that we will likely never be able to repay you fully for what you have done. Maybe someday we can share these ideals with someone else as you so unselfishly have shared them with us. We have gained much in our twelve years of schooling experience but the real test still lies ahead of us. And that is the test of life itself. To pass this, it will not be like passing any other we have ever attempted. But rather we will be tested and tried for the rest of our time. For life can be quite perplexing and at times very harsh. We will have to summon all we have learned to make it through these times. To succeed in life, as to succeed in anything, we must learn to persevere, to be optomistic, to be able to accept the bad with the good, but above all rather than shy away from life and its hardship we must attack them head-on with as much enthusiasm as we can muster. For one only gets out of life what one puts into it. So maybe the key to success lies within ourselves, buried deep within our character. I think when one is young, one needs someone older to believe in, someone to look up to. A person needs someone to help him set his goals and gain his confidence, as one gets older though, this need seems to diminish. It is necessary to believe in and respect other people, but it is just as necessary and important to believe in and accept oneself. We must know our­selves well but be honest with ourselves. We must realize our weaknesses but exercise our strengths. We must like ourselves, but not to the point of conceit. We must reach the point where we can say 'T am proud to be myself" for if we don't like ourselves we can't expect anyone else to. And so now as we graduate we must not think of it as leaving High School, but of entering a new dimension of life. One that at first will seem foreign, but one we can cope with if we prepare. We now ask ourselves: "Where do 1 want to go?", "What do 1 want to do?", and "How shall I do it?". These questions are important to us all whether we will be attending High School for another semester, or entering the working world, or enrolling in University or Technical school. We will be faced with these questions and we must answer them truthfully, by our­selves. It will be a long hard journey but a rewarding one no matter what we choose. For maybe it is not the path we choose that is so important but rather how we walk this path. And the path of course is life itself. May we all be successful in what we do.

P H 0 T OEDITOR’S MESS A GE HOLLIE WHEELER No, those pancakes weren't that tough. It was fun, razzing the teachers, having them wait on us hand and foot. In a few years these pictures and events will just be memories - pleasant ones I hope. Through the past year memories have collected. Being a sentimentalist, I know these memories will mean a lot to me. The different environment in Churchill has molded different people, thus making this school unique. I have found in Churchill that each person has his own way of showing friendship. Having a school full of people willing to contribute a smile here and there makes a person feel good and willing to work. Each person contributes a small part to this collective character, making him very special and me proud to have him as a friend. There are many opportunities for special academic achievements or extracurricular activities. This year we had trouble getting people to participate in the events. But that is in the past; too bad these nonparticipants missed some of the great fun we had. I hope in years to come W. C. H. S. staff, students, and the building itself could be­come a great part of your life. But you have to be willing to contribute this time and enthusiasm willingly and free of charge. I have done many hard hours of work in this school. Late at night I have wandered down the hall slowly touching the walls and lockers wondering what conglomeration of tall tales they could tell if only they could talk. In doing some research for quotations to use in the yearbook, 1 found one that means much to me and I'd like to share it with you. "A smile cannot be bought, begged, borrowed or stolen for it is of no value to anyone until it is given away. " I hope we have chosen memories that flourish in your mind for years to come, and be renewed each time you thumb through the "STATESMAN - 1975". | --- GOODB YE AND BEST WISHES FROM YOUR YEARBOOK EDITOR AND STAFF.
