| Summary: | The annual publication of the students of Lethbridge Collegiate Institute, Lethbridge, Alberta. (Volume. 1956-57) "Whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things." The Bible ANNUAL PUBLICATION OF THE STUDENTS7 UNION OF THE LETHBRIDGE COLLEGIATE INSTITUTE I 957 ENROLMENT 690Principal's Message e¥M)&5 The present Collegiate was opened in September, 1950, yet within the short space of six years more rooms were needed and during the past year many changes have taken place in the physical plant. The counselling suite was re-arranged; the main office was renovated and enlarged into a suitable spacious area; a most modern shower and locker room was created with sixty individual lockers and additional showers (a real boom to boys' athletic activities); an additional dressing room was found for the girls; and finally a modern nineteen room addition complete with offices, infirmary, teachers' lounges and laboratories was added to the west side of the building. The Collegiate now boasts thirty-one classrooms, four complete laboratories, six technical shops, four Home Economics rooms, one typing room and one fully-equipped business machines room. During this school year, in addition to accommodating several Junior High classes, the enrollment reached 690 with ten Grade X, seven Grade XI, and six Grade XII classes offering the widest choice to all students. The potential of the school is now approximately 1100. The citizens of Lethbridge through the Public School Board have provided for the youth of this progressive city facilities unsurpassed anywhere in Canada. It now is the responsibility of the students and their parents to see that the possibilities in this school are used to the full. Never in the history of Canada has youth had such outstanding opportunities—in the school every conceivable tool to work with; bursaries and scholarships in abundance to encourage higher learning; and business wanting graduates in ever-increasing numbers with more jobs available than applicants to fill them. Youth of today must realize and appreciate the heritage that is theirs and make every hour count. If every student entering High School would work to capacity the stream of graduates would soon double. The operation of a wide variety of night classes continues, filling a real need among our adult population, and the enthusiasm will naturally lead to a much wider field of opportunity. And now, owing to the vision and diligence of a handful of inspired leaders in education in our city, this fall is to see the opening of a Junior College right here in Lethbridge, housed in our Collegiate. This will provide youth and adult alike with a wider opportunity to continue formal education in fields of study beyond the present scope of the traditional secondary school program. Parents of graduates as well as graduates should follow with the greatest attention the establishment of this College remaining alive to the opportunity right here at home. This College deserves the fullest support of everyone in the South. To open its doors it must have students, and the graduating class of 1957 must provide its first students. We all want it to be a real success. Will you do your part? Lethbridge is always progressive. Let's keep it so. Best wishes to the graduates in the coming examinations — and we hope to see you next fall enrolled in our Junior College.E.O PARSONS B A.,B.Ed F A. RUDD M.A., LL.B D.P. WALKER B.Sc WN. THOMAS M.J.

BIDER J.P L\EBE T>kD A.E KUETBACH B.ScEditoriat The pages are fast closing on another school year, a time which signifies the edition of the 1957 Yearbook. The casual reader, glancing through the following pages, may be inclined to think that such a book can be put together in the course of a few weeks. Such is not the case. The L. C. I. Yearbook constitutes the work of an entire term with numerous students and teachers giving freely of their time and effort to make it a success. On behalf of the Yearbook staff, I would like to express our hearty appreciation to Mr. Rose and his typing classes, the proofreaders, and Mr. Stead and Miss Francis who took charge of Grade Ten and Twelve features. And, of course, no list of appreciation would be complete without a hearty thanks to our advisor, Mr. Rea, who guided our efforts with an amazing degree of tolerance and understanding. The month of June is a time of varied activities — exams, graduation and fond farewells. Many of you still have a year or two of high school life ahead of you. At the risk of sounding trite, I would suggest that you use these years wisely. The Collegiate offers fun as well as education and, if properly utilized, can assure you of a firm foundation for future experiences. To the graduates who are leaving the building which has been their home for three and possibly four years, the very best of luck in your final exams and future endeavours. Remember, you have become part of the L. C. I. in the past terms and, as a result, will take a portion of the school with you when you leave. You have become the mouthpiece of our school which will be judged according to your recommendations. This is a responsibility which cannot be taken lightly. The teachers have invested in you the best of their knowledge. May this investment pay off in dividends of happiness and success in the coming years.

A "REA •STAFFValedictory MARJORIE WELLWOOD Soon we shall come to the end of a month which marks not only the conclusion of this school year but also the termination of all the familiar things that, for the last twelve (or a few more) years, we have taken for granted as being a part of our lives. i It does seem rather disturbing to realize that the majority of us will never again prowl the halls of the L. C. I. No longer will we be a part of the groups of students swarming each day to and from our school, of the cheering crowd in the bleachers frantically yelling, "Bring on the gold and the green," or of the line of pale-faced students waiting for an admit slip or a polio shot. Never again will we drag home an armful of scholarly tomes, try to finagle our way through the next day with no homework done, or land ungracefully in the detention class for chewing gum too enthusiastically. Probably we shall miss the fantastic odors evolving from the Chem. and Home Ec. rooms, the sharp rousing clang of the moving bell, and the feeling of satisfaction obtained from having thought up a supposedly unique play for skipping school, and the countless other things we do not give a thought to now. However sad these memories may be, they will be short-lived, for soon they will be replaced with newer, fresher ambitions and hopes. We are now in the foothill region of our life. Above us, the steeper heights beckon. We shall challenge, and conquer them, constantly finding that with each new peak we surmount, there, looming above us, are more precipitous pinnacles to scale. We shall find too, that although the going gets rougher, the air becomes clearer and fresher, our eyes survey new horizons, and a little of the mist that veils the true values of life clears away. Somehow through these years, we have survived each succeeding grade, growing from completely dependent grade-oners to occasionally stubbornly independent high-schoolers. We are all too soon going to realize that although we may be glad that there will be no more harsh admonishings from our principal and teachers, from now on, we will be the persons solely responsible for our actions and only we can determine the course of our future lives. To Mr. Kyle, to our L. C. I. teachers, and to those who taught us in the lower grades, goes our sincere gratitude for the training and guidance selflessly given, but not always gratefully received, which they have accorded us. They may be assured that our deep appreciation, while not always evident on the surface, is nevertheless real and abiding. The past twelve years have laid the pattern for the molding of us graduates into good citizens. Now we must follow that pattern, practicing to the best of our ability the qualities of honesty, sincerity, tolerance, and fair judgment. Blended together with the ideals of democracy, the freshness of an open mind (not to be confused with an empty mind), and leavened with a sense of humor, they perfect this pattern. Our graduating class may not produce famous statesmen, Einsteins or great movie stars, but if we all can justly say that we tried, then no matter whether we go on to university, go immediately to work, or become professional chimney-sweeps, we shall have accomplished something truly worthwhile, for endeavor is the groundwork of achievement. Farewells are always sad, and ours will be no exception. No one will blame us for a nostalgic tear shed in remembrance of the past. But our eyes must now be turned forward. Let us, with a firm step, a clear eye and a confident heart, continue on to greater and greater heights, so that the Graduating Class of 1957 may long be remembered in the annals of the L. C. I.Class Prophecy RON HOPP This is Radio Canada, CJLB, in Lethbridge. The time at the tone will be twelve o'clock, noon. On this, the first day of 1981, Tashiro Concentrated Food Pills and Nakagama Vitamin Capsules bring you Ronald Hopp with a commentary of the highlights of the past year. January 4: Five Canadians won the Nobel Prize. The first, in science, went to Dr. James Mc- Elgunn for his atomic deflector. In Medicine, Donald Wells and Allan Rollingson won the prize jointly for their stimulating book on hypochondriacs, "How to be Sick and Enjoy It". The Misses Betty Lee and Lorraine Oliver were given a prize in recognition of their endeavors to achieve world peace, January 26: Project X, an experimental city under the sea, was completed. It was made possible by the combined efforts of Drs. Donna Hendry and lone Grunewald, Sociologist Sally Serkin, and architect Karen Mayne. As you might guess, this city is a female haven. February 7: Trouble flared up in China. Canada's delegate to the U.N., Jack Smeed, suggested that General E. G. L. Springman and his emergency force be dispatched to the troubled land. February 25: Two Sourdoughs, John Tron and David Watson, stumbled on vast deposits of uranium south of James Bay. They escaped injury, but their burro suffered a broken leg. Meanwhile, Jennifer Sarkies and Marj Phalen staked a claim in the front yard of that well-known native of Lethbridge, Ray Sly. Valentine Dong, Chief Judge of the Supreme Court, stated that they were within their rights. March 3: The Liberal Party selected Ed Bouw- sema to be its new leader. He replaced Jerry Bolokoski, who had joined the Conservatives. March 20: The budget was brought down. Finance Minister Culham and her assistant, Donna Kesler, were severely criticized by Defence Minister Gloeckler and Opposition Leader Dyck for the drastic cut in defence expenditure. April 5: Two Canadian secretaries, Virginia Lee and Lillian Karl won the Geraldine Rothe Challenge Trophy for Typewriting and Stenography. Kathie Jacobson and Marilyn Lewis, winners in 1979, did not compete. April 16: Renowned meteorologists, Steve Rigo and Hiroshi Okamura, members of the Perry-Russel Institute of Science, stated that the climate is steadily becoming warmer. Three days later, these eminent men left for Honolulu in the wake of an unseasonable snowstorm. May 1: Five Canadians won Academy Awards. They were: David Melvin, best director; Shirley Rhamey and Georgina Ozar, co-authors of Martian Holiday; and Gayle Forster and Terry Peters, best lyrics. May 29: Jerry Kjeldgaard, Sandra Norlin and Laureen Kane were named the best-dressed trio in Kipp, Alberta, Canada's answer to Hollywood. June 8: A strike took place at the K. R. Mc- Kibben Air Corporation. Miss Beverley Mehew, the Vice-President, Barry Bergthorson, the General Manager, and J. C. Hammond, the Union Leader, hurled charge and counter-charge at each other. Suzette Jacobson, the arbitrator, stated that unless the opposing parties came down to earth in their thinking, the airplanes would never leave it. June 23: Fashions shared the spotlight with automobiles when the Wellwood Fashion Company displayed the latest creations of style designers Lynne Davidson and Dixie Wilmot at an automobile show. L. P. Lee, General Manager of Higa Motors, pronounced the event an outstanding success. July 9: The Mexican Road Race ended. Albert Liebe and Brian Melvin, driving a car entered by Morris Motors, were the first to come to the pits in the grueling race. July 30: The week-long bull sale ended at Calgary. The fabulous price of $200,000 was paid to Bill Asplund by Donald Hunt representing the Williams and Earl Meat Packing Company. Another Hereford entry owned by Willie Balia was bought for $150,000 by the Macdougal Ranch. And that is still a lot of bull. August 7: The Irish Sweepstake was won by Crybaby, entered by Owen Coaker and led to the pole by Wayne Vibert. Roy Sandberg of Calgary, Bob Rothe of Halifax, and Sharon Geiger of Winnipeg also held winning tickets on this horse. August 21: Noted archaeologist Bob Leong and his party consisting of Barbara Bums, Sam Strecker and Melville Prout discovered a huge pyramid buried in Egyptian sands, Bernard Ghert, curator of the Quan Museum stated that some of the artifacts found there are priceless. (Continued on Page Nine)Your Proud HerLtage MISS SMEDLEY With the would-be immigrant "queue" growing longer every day, I sometimes feel that my year as Canadian Exchange has given me an unfair advantage over my fellow countrymen. It might even be termed a "sneak-preview", a chance of seeing what lies ahead in "God's Own Country" for those anxious to spread their wings. But I, too, went through the red tape that involved the medicals, the endless correspondence, and the suspence. I, too, felt a little dubious when "Immigrant-Recu" was stamped across my passport even before landing. No time for homesickness though, one is quickly caught up in the whirl of friendly Canadian life. It was remarkable how, as Quebec came into view, grins spread across the faces of the Canadian contingent present. They shed their English rheumatics as if by magic, and spoke gaily of sun, apple pie, Chryslers and Chevs. "You are bound for the land of the Bloods and the Blackfeet," the easterners said. "Look out, or you'll lose your scalp." And we secretly believed them. They had given us a dog's life coming over. Perhaps my first impressions of Canada will be my most lasting memories. There were the cars on the dockside, which made me rub my eyes in disbelief. Apart from their size, capable of making chaos of a London rush hour, somebody had taken shocking liberties with the artist's palette! I was almost prompted to return for the family fever mixture at the sight of the Kleenex trademark in every rear window. "By their tissues shall you know them." Then that remarkable train which brought me to the land of the totems and teepees. Such a feat of engineering would make any young English "train spotter" fall off a bridge in admiration. I can't quite make up my mind about the "breadbasket of the west." This doubt is probably due to the memory of a place name. With the arrival of Seven Persons, in that almost frightening expanse of prairie, came the feeling that I had made the biggest mistake of my life! But here, in the southwest corner, Lethbridge seemed like a pleasant oasis. Of course, my English system had already received somewhat of a shock on that occasion. It is not every day that one travels a distance equal to that from Land's End to John o' Groats and back several times! Then for the main reason for such a journey—the L. C. I. I think I've already learned more about Canadians within these walls than in the whole of my wanderings. That first morning in September I was swiftly initiated into a new educational system. Instead of entering a hall packed with rows of students looking like peas from a pod in their tunics, ties and blazers, quite a different sight met my eyes. In the spacious auditorium, on unfamiliar bleachers, sat a crowd of young Canadians looking almost past their scholastic years. Skillfully applied makeup replaced the "shining morning face" on one side; crew cuts and, wonder of wonders, pastel colored corduroy pants, and jackets sporting overlarge capitals, made a splendid array on the other. How envious your opposite numbers would be could they witness such gay abandon! Later my ears were opened too. I quailed inwardly when I imagined my own headmaster's face should such an organized form of applause echo beneath that faraway roof. The Cheerleaders, too, came as a shock. We spend half our lives discouraging such calls from the sideline! But, a third of a world away, and under this clear blue sky, who could frown on such exuberance? It quickly became clearly evident that much self-adjustment was necessary, and English reserve must be shelved for a year. This change for the better must have happened early. It's surprising how quickly the strange becomes familiar! The curriculum is much the same as that of English schools. In both the aim is to impart a sound and wide knowledge in preparation for the future. Sport is well in evidence. In England it is a compulsory subject throughout, hard in some, but generally popular. Unfortunately its deprivation ranks high as a method punishment for this reason. But young people are alike the world over. There are always so many outside activities jockeying for space with academic work. Exams are an ever-present menace, and the bi-monthly report systemRecollections JO DOBBS Mount Royal College "They were the best days of my life!" How often we have heard this expression used by the older generation, and how often have we silently scorned the words of our elders? I can hardly be placed in a different class than the students of the Collegiate, and yet I often mourn the fact that those days are dead and gone forever. After graduation, nothing is ever quite the same. When you return to Lethbridge from college, university or work, you are anticipating gay reunions with old school friends. After the preliminary, "Gee it's good to see you," and "Whatever happened to George? Married, oh too bad," bits of conversation, you come to realize that there is nothing else to say. No one from the University of Alberta is too interested in the latest Mount Royal College fad, or why you just couldn't hold that job. Yes, everything changes. But the memories are never lost. I am sure there isn't one 1956 graduate who has forgotten the election speeches last September! At times, when exams loom ahead and dull hours of assignments seem to fill the days, you wonder if it is all worth it. After all, what is a diploma but a nicely decorated scroll from some group of educated gentlemen in Edmonton? Then in June when you begin to look for employment or seek entrance into an institution of higher learning you suddenly realize what that diploma means. If you can produce one, doors of opportunity are opened for you. You are in a "preferred class." You, the students of the Lethbridge College Institute are fortunate to receive your education in such a modern school and from such well-qualified, co-operative teachers. Last year we found each member of the staff ready to assist when we were experiencing difficulty. I only regret I didn't ask for more help during the term. It might have raised that B to an A. The Sadies Hawkins dance, admit slips, the solemn atmosphere of detention and the inspiring speech made by Mr. Kyle at the Graduation Banquet — yes, memories are made of it. Class Vropkecy (Continued from Page Seven) September 4: Doug Sutherland, accompanied by Gordon Domeier and Dale Peterson, went on a journey with ninety-seven birds. The birds were the whooping cranes protected by the conservation department. September 26: Dr. Pat Harris representing the Gerlock-Johnson Commission, announced that the atomic fallout is increasing at an alarming rate. She and her colleagues, Drs. Ditrich, Bauer, and Adams recommended that the Antarctic be used for further atomic tests. However, Doris Erickson and Donna Kimery, members of the Penguins Protection Society, opposed this idea. October 8: Canadian art was spotlighted in Paris with works by such well-known modern painters as LaVonne Kendall, Lucie Jabs and Shiron Erickson on display. October 20: Laura Richardson of the Health Department announced that Drs. Joan Rhamey and Ann Ross, working in conjunction with Dr. Barb Pratte of the Witting Hospital, have isolated the cold germ. In the future, a special ward will be set aside for patients suffering from colds. November 4: Professor Burry Foss announced that the first successful rocket ship should be perfected late in 1982. Although his five other attempts ended in failure, he feels quite confident that number six will be the one. He has been working with Drs, William Groothius and Dale Merriman of the Mosco- vich Research Laboratory. November 24: Joyce Fairbairn, Kathy Gaetz and Eleanor Forward make history as they launched the first satellite into outer space. According to these respected scientists, women will soon follow. December 12: The Winter Olympics ended at Cortina, Italy. Canada's hockey team, coached by Jim Sekella, and including such players as Joe Mould, Nat Stokes and Murray Olson emerged in third place. There were three entries. Meanwhile in the ski jump, George Nyhoff and Marianne Snowdon made perfect three-point landings. In the three- girl bobsled race, Bev Maughan, Marilyn Cosgrove and Carol Woolley were victorious. December 31: Barbara Steed, Ellen Waugh, and Joan Shreeve were appointed to the diplomatic staff. They replaced Glenda Gingrich, Karen De- war, and Carol Hasegawa, who are going into the advertising business. These were the highlights of the past year, important for a while but soon forgotten as we look forward to another year. This program was produced by Rita Sass and directed by Vicky Stogrin. All news items were taken from the files of the Bremner-Carlson News Agency. And now all the people at the Black- bourne Broadcasting Studios wish you a Happy New Year. Special thanks is due to the Henderson Baby Food Company, the C. M. Landing and A. M. Leggett Shoe Corporation, and the Brown Food Fair for relinquishing their programs at this time, In a moment Verna Leffingwell, Mayor of Lethbridge, and Reverend Fred Wuotila will bring you their New Year's Day messages.

School years are never really appreciated until one is confronted by the seeming insecurity of the outside world. Then one wishes one had put that extra ounce of effort into school life, and gained thereby an extra ounce of happiness and satisfaction. The L. C. I. is a fine place. Your principal and staff have your welfare at heart. The surroundings are modern and equipment excellent. I wonder if you realize how very fortunate you are in these and many other respects. When you leave school, with this background you will be equipped for the world. Your world — a free country, regarded by the rest of the globe as the land of the future. It is young, vast, and beautiful. Its untold riches are barely scratched. Opportunities are endless. With such a prospect it is up to you to find your nook of happiness and contribute something worth while to Canada. As students you may be 'Tight of heart and light of purse." May your hearts be forever light. The state of the other is up to you!■RHRIMHnBHr ACTIVITIESCOMMENCEMENT On September 18, 1956, the annual commencement exercises were held in the auditorium. Mr. L. H. Bussard was guest speaker and delivered a thought-provoking address on racial segregation and its application to the students in the L. C. I. At the conclusion of Mr. Bussard's remarks, Mr. Kyle, acting as chairman, introduced the guests and the presentations were underway. The outstanding Grade XII winner was Murray Strome, who copped five scholarships. Obtaining an average of 88% for Grade XII with 30 credits, he earned the Elizabeth McKillop Memorial Scholarship along with the Kiwanis Scholarship for the highest Departmental marks. Heading the honor roll in Math 30 with 97%, Murray was awarded the Jane Megarry Scholarship. He received two scholarships in Grade XII Science, winning the Dr. Lovering Memorial Scholarship in Chemistry with 98% and the Major Jack Ross Chapter of the I.O.D.E. for Chemistry 30 and Physics 30 with 93.5%. Murray was the '55 - '56 editor of the Spotlite and is currently enrolled in first year engineering at the U. of A. The top mark in English 30 was obtained by Valerie Ayris, who was presented with the B'nai B'rith Lodge Scholarship and the Marie Louise Brodie Scholarship. With an 88% Latin average, she earned the Sigma Chapter of Beta Sigma Phi Sorority Scholarship. Valerie is completing her first year in the Education course at Calgary. Both the Buchanan Scholarship and the University Women's Award went to Clara Johansen, who attained an average of 91% in Social Studies 30. Education is Clara's chosen profession and she is studying toward this goal at the U. of A. The I.O.D.E.'s Lethbridge Municipal Chapter War Memorial Bursary was awarded to Brian Black- bourne. Brian is attending the U. of A. taking a Pre-Medical Course. Clara Edlund and Brian Strong tied for the Kappa Chapter of Beta Sigma Pho Sorority in Science 32. They each received 97%. Brian is now at B. Y. U. taking Chemical Engineering, while Clara is taking Education at the U. of A., Calgary Branch. David Westcott topped the list in French 30 with 87%. He was presented with the Dr. F. H. Mew- bum, O.B.E., award. He is presently studying Civil Engineering at the U. of A. This year's Spotlite editor, Joyce Fairbairn, walked away with the honors in Grade XI winning the G. C. Paterson scholarship for the complete regular course. Tony Bosch won the Social Studies 10 Memorial Prize awarded by the Municipal Chapter of the I.O.D.E. In the Commercial field, Mary Brandle was presented with the Williams and Tanner Bookkeeping 20 Award. Another Williams and Tanner Award went to Betty Lee in Typing 20. Pat Parsons in Typing 10, won the award presented by the Ladies' Auxiliary of B.E.S.L. The students' Council Award for Shorthand 20 went to Jo Dobbs. Excelling in the Drama course of the curriculum was Barbara Steed. She was presented with the scholarship awarded by the National Council of Jewish Women in Canada. The Wilks and Cranstoun Home Economics Scholarships were awarded to the followin: Foods and Nutrition - Corrine Walker Fabrics and Dress 10 - Marilyn Anderson Arts and Crafts 10 - Irene Yamamoto Home Furnishings 20 - Donna Hendry The "Y" Club 16 Scholarships in Industrial Arts were presented to: Andy Skujins - Metal 10 Ken Smee - Automotives 10 Burry Foss - Electricity 20 Bill Narusis - Woodworking 10 CHEERLEADERS Top, left to right: Diane Donaldson, Arlene Stark, Denise McDonald, Joanne Lakie, Sylvia Archibald Bottom, left to right: Sharon Belliveau, Merelyn Keutbach, Doreen Blackmer. Missing: Marilyn Cahoon. Ten energetic young ladies in striking green and white pleated skirts, school sweaters and dashing Robin Hood hats — you guessed it — the L.C.I. cheerleading squad of 1956- 57! These ten girls, chosen by elimination at the beginning of the term, included Merelyn Kuetbach, Arlene Stark, Diane Donaldson, Doreen Blackmer, Sylvia Archibald, Denise McDonald, Sharon Belliveau, Gail Bergthor- sen, Marilyn Cahoon and Leader Joanne Lakie. Countless hours were spent perfecting yells and putting new ideas into action. A good example of the latter is the impressive precision march which the girls originated and performed while singing the school song. At every basketball and football game these girls spurred our teams on to victory, enacting their routines with precision and vitality. The (Continued on Page 28)Page Twenty-seven(Continued from Page 26) Cheerleaders participated in numerous pep rallies in which they introduced a number of new and original cheers to the L. C. I. students. The squad also made a material contribution to the school in the form of a green and gold banner which, made by the cheerleaders themselves, is the first of its kind the L. C. I. has boasted. To this group of girls who devoted so much of their time and energy to the promotion of school spirit, and who supported our school teams so faithfully and wholeheartedly, we extend our sincere appreciation. JUNIOR UNITED NATIONS CLUB Pat O'Brien, Sec.-Treas.; Joe Mould, Publicity; Joyce Fair- bairn, President; Mr. Rudd, Marge Soice, Programme. The Junior United Nations Club got off to an enthusiastic start this year after a term of absence from school activity circles. Under the guiding hand of Mr. Rudd, an executive was elected composed of the following people: President: Joyce Fairbairn Vice-President: Carol Bartram (St, Joe's) Secretary: Pat O'Brien (St. Joe's) Publicity: Joe Mould Program: Marge Soice Throughout the year, the members have sincerely endeavoured to learn more about the United Nations, its functions and its principles, and, most important of all, to put these principles into effect.^ During the Christmas season approximately forty dollars worth of cards were sold, with the proceeds going to UNICEF. Members oiled their vocal chords and went on a carolling expedition throughout city hospitals and the Rehabilitation Centre, whose occupants expressed their sincere appreciation. However, most of the activity centered around various speakers who discussed topics pertinent to present day world affairs. Mr. Sawicki from St. Joseph's expounded on the United Nations and its role in world unity. Mr. Raynor from Toronto told the club about his experiences in the Middle East and the background history of the immediate conflict in the area. At the time of writing, plans are being made to engage the services of Dr. Atwall Page Twenty-eight from the Science Service Laboratory, who will describe his native India and her position in international affairs. For the first time, the Junior United Nations Nations entered the field of foreign correspondence, and is communicating with a similar teen organization in distant Japan. Two members of the club, Joe Mould and George Diadio, installed themselves as goodwill ambassadors to the United States by going on the exchange trip to the Great Falls high school. Also last year, our president, Joyce Fair- bairn, was chosen by the I.O.O.F. as an Alberta delegate to visit the United Nations. And finally, as in past years, the club is sponsoring a delegate to the United Nations' Workshop in Banff, which will be held during the last weekend in August. Joe Mould was the delegate last year and was elected president of the school. Club activities culminated with an informal meeting, commonly known as a party, and the executive closed the books with the satisfaction of knowing that 1957 was indeed a year of progress for the Junior United Nations. We sincerely hope that next year our work will expand to become an indispensable part of the varied L. C. I. program. CURLING CLUB Mr. Rea, Advisor; Joan Vaselenak, Com. Member; Bob Andrew, President; Dixie Wilmot, Secretary; Clare Coleman, Com. Member; Ed. Lawrence, Vice-President. The Junior Curling Club enjoyed another very successful season in 1956-57 with a total of 24 rinks from the L. C. I. and St. Joe's participating. The season opened with the election of the executive which included: President: Bob Andrew Vice-President: Ed Lawrence Secretary: Dixie Wilmot Treasurer: Eleanor Forward Executive: Clare Coleman Joan Vaselenak (St. Joe's) Marie Lee Advisor: Mr. Rea The highlight of this year's season was the playoffs for the Southern Alberta Championship. Our Lethbridge rink consisting of Scott Henderson, Skip; Burry Foss, Third; Ed Lawrence, Second; andBernie Ghert, Lead, made a very fine showing as they went all the way to the final only to be beaten out by the Alf Schieman rink of Calgary. Schieman continued on to the Canadian finals where he made a very good showing. Our Annual Bonspiel was again run off during the Christmas holidays this year with teams attending from all over Southern Alberta. The Grand Aggregate and first event winner was the Ken Blaney rink from Vauxhall. He went through the entire 'spiel undefeated, and won the events by defeating Alf Schieman in the final. Another highlight of the year was the playoff for the Automobile Dealer's Trophy and city championship. Every rink started in the straight knockout competition with the Brian Melvin rink ending up on top. The rink was composed of: Brian Melvin, Skip; Margaret Van Home, Third; Les Santa, Second; and Lynn Simmons, Lead. Our club was also well represented in the out- of-town bonspiels this year. Bill Lingard won the Grand Aggregate at Cardston for the second consecutive year. His rink was composed of Eleanor Forward Third; Bob Everson, Second; and Elwood Springman, Lead. Brian Melvin and his rink succeeded in bringing home the trophies from Milk River. His rink consisted of Les Santa, Third; Bob Reid, Second, and Bev Plomp, Lead. Lethbridge was also represented at Medicine Hat, Taber, Raymond, Claresholm, Bellevue and Coaldale. All the rinks made highly respectable showings and we are proud of all of them. SADIE HAWKINS The date had been set for November 5th and the female population was ready to rise to the occasion. The days immediately preceding the event had seen much preparation and experimentation as girls (being girls) found to their chagrin that looking one's worst can be a trying business. CHRISTMAS PROM The night was December 20 — the event the Christmas Prom. The auditorium had assumed the atmosphere of the season as, decked in its festive best (a real tribute to the decorating committee), it was filled with a capacity crowd of zealous students out to have a wing-ding. Our genial president capably undertook the duties of Master of Ceremonies combined with those of Santa Claus (presenting Mr. Kyle with a gift on behalf of the student body). Dancing, ranging from moonlight waltzes to the latest in rock 'n roll renditions, occupied the attention of the crowd from nine to one, when the final strains of the home waltz proclaimed the end of the Christmas Prom of 1956. Nevertheless, when the great day dawned, the women of Dogpatch closed their ranks and sporting the season's newest hair shades, invaded the world of men. Living up to tradition they dutifully staggered under piles of texts while tagging doggedly after the masculine faction of the student body. The fun-filled day was concluded by the proverbial Sadie Hawkins ''Bawl" when even the chairs rocked (either from strain or with mirth) as comic strip characters wasted not a bar of the rhythm put forth by the Playland Orchestra. The duties of Master of Ceremonies were enthusiastically performed by none other than that well-known local prospector, Mr. George "Hardrock" Castles. It was quite a day! THE COLLEGIANS Left to right: Ken Boyse, trumpet; Bill Benedict, drums; Rod Draffin, trumpet; Dale Orr, tenor sax; Edith Hellawell, piano; Ron Smith, Leader, alto sax; Jon Scott, trombone; Dean Detterman, sax; Melville Prout, soprano sax; Reg Jordan, sax Director, Mr. D. A. Rose This year the orchestra was the largest ever, consisting of ten members. Eight of these members were in their initial year. Practices were held twice a week on the stage of the auditorium where various song hits were practiced for the school dances. The orchestra played at six school dances and were given the honor of supplying the music for the opening of McKillop School. One trip was made out of the city, which gave some toe tickling music for the Fort Macleod Prom at Christmas. All in all it was felt by the whole band that they had a very successful and happy season. This year the orchestra consisted of: Alto sax - Ron Smith, Lea
