Kamloops High School presented "The Merchant of Venice" by William Shakespeare as their production of the year. After a delay because of the ban caused by the diphtheria scare, it was eventually produced under the able direction of Miss Carr on the nights of February 5 and 6 and the afternoon of February 3. The afternoon performance was for the student body. The beautiful costumes, the lighting and the scenery added the right atmosphere for the play. A great many students contributed their services to make the play such a success.

President's Message
As we close the books and settle all accounts at the end of another year, we pause to reflect upon the year's activities.
The financial and artistic success of our production, "The Merchant of Venice" is an evidence of the willing spirit of co-operation between the staff and student body. Assemblies, dances, and House plays were of a high calibre and the social organizers of the school should be given much credit.
In sports, K.H.S. was well represented at the New Westminster and Kelowna basketball tournaments, and in the badminton tournament at Haney.
The generous response to the week-long drive for the "Save the Children Fund" belies the oft heard remark regarding the selfishness of modern youth.
With the creation of the Good Citizenship Award this year, outstanding students shall no longer go without honor and recognition.
