Theme, theme . . . Theme, how many fruitless hours have readers of Yearbooks spent in order to track down the elusive theme? As you rifle through the pages of the ’51 Kampus, in order to find the theme, you wouldn’t find one for the simple reason . . . there isn’t one.
At one meeting, quite a discussion was held as to the selection of the theme. Many were suggested but they just didn’t seem to fit. Finally the question arose . . . Why have a theme? It was a good question. Fitting a theme of The Arabian Nights, for example, to a Basketball game, would be a rather incongruous, to say the least. Thus the general consensus of the meeting was not to have any theme and have anything that came into the minds of the Art Department.
The Annual Staff decided that the title “Kampus” would be retained since it was the wish of the preceding staff. The editorial staff has tried hard, but in vain, to cover all school events, social and otherwise. We have attempted to give you, the Student reader, an over-all view of student life in K.H.S. We have had all the graduate, class and team pictures taken by Photomart at considerable cost. But the staff felt that it was worth while expending the money since pictures are an important part of a Yearbook. We hope that you appreciate the tremendous amount of work that is involved in preparing this bundle of pictures and found memories. Please note that in contrast to the rising cost of living the “Kampus” is still the same price.
Many thanks are extended to the sponsors, Messrs. Knapp and Howard, who spent many hours correcting the atrocious copy presented by the staff writers.
The past year has been on of tremendous activity in extra-curricular activities. The Red Angels have taken the spot light away from the Red Devils this year, who, nonetheless, have completed a successful year. The K.H.S. Band and Orchestra have again brought laurels to their school. The highly successful play “Our Hearts were Young and Gay” was presented to capacity audiences. The student thespians and Miss Ireland should be congratulated for their high caliber performances.
The planting of the Blue Spruce by the graduating class of ’51 has set a precedent. It is a fitting appropriate gesture on the part of the class.
The sponsors and staff of the ’51 “Kampus” sincerely hop that you will drive from it much pleasure today and hope that this pleasure will increase as the years go by. A Yearbook, like a rare stamp or coin, increases in value as the year pass.

This year's edition of the Kamloops Inter "B" basketball team managed to win three out of seven games it played. Although coached by Jim Beck, this year's team was handicapped by the lack of tall players and lost all four of its games to the tall youths of Penticton. Two of the games were for the Interior Inter "B" championship. On the brighter side of the picture, the Inter "B" squad managed to eke out two wins over Revelstoke High School, the first game being played and won in Kamloops and the second in Revelstoke. The latter game was won by a matter of one point, and this one point lead was in favor of the Revelstoke team except that they scored a basket a few seconds too late. The other game the Inter "B" squad won was played against the Indian School. It was a rough and tough affair in which the Inter "B" came out with more bruises and points than their losing opponents.
Those who made up this year's team are:
Jack Fowles and Sadao Kodama from last year's Inter "B", who provided the scoring punch and the leadership of the team; Jim Holt, free shot artist; Bob Gale, who doesn't know whetehr to make basketball or singing his career; Henry Wakabayashi, who tried hard as the others did to put the ball into the net; Richard Oikawa, speedy forward; and Barry McIntosh who we think should take his running shoes with him when playing out of town. Our new-comers from out of town are: Ken Yingling, red-headed centre from Blue River; rough and tough Roy Yasui from New Denver.
The team is indeed grateful to Mr. Beck, who so unselfishly donated his time and energy and without whose effort and Inter "B" basketball team could not have been formed.
Senior Cheerleaders
Kneeling — I. Hudson, C. Silvorski, I. Jones, S. Evans. Standing — P. Robertson, M. Chalmers.
There are about thirteen memebers in our club; our sponsor is Miss Woodman.
We cheered at a basketball game as you mish remember. Not discouraged, we tried again at the Junior High Track Meet. We are going to hav a dance on April 27 to support our trip to Vernon on June 2, but the dance was cancelled. This means for us the last eyar of Junior Cheerleaders so it's up to this year's grade VIIIs to carry on Junior Cheerleaders.

The past year has been a very busy one for the Hi-Y Club. We have undertaken the usual service projects plus a few extras, and this year we managed to cram in a social event for almost every month! The biggest service project was the Christmas one — the club undertook to provide acomplete Christmas for the students (15 of them) and the teacher of the Big Bar Creek School, 'way up in the Cariboo. We also packed candy for the Soroptomist Club to give to the Old Age Pensioners at their Christmas party.
The annual Hi-Y dance was held on Friday, the Thirteenth of April, and this year was called the "Hard Luck Hoedown." It was a huge success, both socially and financially. We netted $25, which we turned over to the Council for the purchase of much-needed track equipment.
Throughtout the year, the Club has staged money-makers, amon them a shoe-shine, a cookie sale, a "vegetable corsage", and many others.
The current project is the raising of enough maney to send a delegate to Hi-Y Leaders' Camp, to be held this summer at a camp on Howe Sound.
Incidentally, one of the most popular Hi-Y projects undertaken during the year was the making and selling of K.H.S. pennants and beanies, to be put to patriotic use at school sports functions, etc. These articles, particularly the beanies, were received with enthusiasm by the good students of K.H.S.
Hi-Y Graduation ceremonies were held on June 5 at a lawn party at Loretta Dwyer's home. The mothers of all club members were invited. At this ceremoney, the gradating members received their Hi-Y rings, together with special diplomas.
I am sure that all graduating members will look back with a smile upon the happy memories of Hi-Y days. It will be hard to forget the good times we have had as members of this world wide fellowship of the Y.W.C.A.

Inter-School Christian Fellowship
In the year 1929, a group of high school students met at the Y.M.C.A. in Toronto to discuss the Christian problems of their high school. This was the beginning of the Inter School Christian Fellowship movement in Canada, an interdenominational group, which has now grown to 220 groups meeting weekly in high school.
In British Columbia there are approximately thirty groups in the Vancouver area, approximately ten groups in Victoria and groups linking Prince Rupert, Kelowna, Pentiction, Trail, Nanaimo, Ladysmith, Kamloops, and other smaller towns. Trail and Kamloops are recent additiosn to I.S.C.F. having been formed last October.
The purposes of the I.S.C.F. are: "To know Christ and to make Him known," through Bible study; to bring as many students as possible into this factual, straightfoward study of the greatest book man possesses; to sponsor speakers; to help in educational features in high school assemblies; to introduce films such as those produced by the Moodie Bible Institute; and to contribute generally to school life.
The local group is under the sponsorship of Miss Margaret Bradshaw. Executive officers are as follows: President, Faith Cosens; Vice-President, Tom Holt; Secretary-Treasurer, Stella Reeves; Social Convener, Moira Milligan; Publicity Convener, Joyce Bradshaw. The year's average attendance has been between fifteen and twenty.
In the meetings various members took their turns in conducting the Bible study, (guided by a booklet). Items such as the question, the hurdle, the fact and the prayer for the week, were read by all the groups across Canada during the same week. Other activities during the year included: Talks by three outside speakers, two social and a skating party.
Election of next year's executive will be held in the near future, and , as I.S.C.F. goes into its second year, we are looking for big things.
