It's over — never again. These same words have been probably spoken by former editors, but even though there was a lot of work connected with it, it is one experience I'll never forget. We feel our Indian theme is in perfect accordance with Kamloops, as it is one of the oldest interior towns in B.C.
When we look back in a year or so, we will remember not only friends, but also the hard work that went into "Melody Magic", school dances, basketball games, track meets, assemblies, and most of all, our Graduation.
On behalf of the Annual Staff, I would like to take this opportunity to wish all the graduates the best of luck in the future.

Student Government
Senior Executive
This '56-'57 term has been one of trials and tribuations for the Senior Executive. The House System, complete with decayed spirit, came under the executive's jurisdiction and the discouragements were plentiful. Plans for a new system of clubs was defeated therefore the "House System" struggles on.
The members of the executive along with the very capable Mrs. Elder have done a magnificent job of handling the government of the Senior High School; my thanks and best wishes to them and to the graduating class of 1957.

Junior Executive
This year's Junior Executive has not had as much to do as did the Junior Executives of the past few years. Our main source of money came from the sale of students' cards, and even though this was the only big source, a large amount of money was obtained.
At the beginning of the school year the Junior Executive gave a cheque for $100 (one hundred dollars) to the North Kamloops Students' Council to help them get started.
During the year several grants were made to various clubs and the school paper.
Throughout the school term, the music classes and band have been using the instruments loaned to the school by the Junior Legion Orchestra Symphony Society. These instruments have now been given to the school by the J.L.O.S.S. As a last project, the Junior Executive is having a plaque made in appreciation to the J.L.O.S.S. When the plaque arrives it will be put up in the foyer of the auditorium.

The Athletic Co-ordinating Committee is a branch of the Students' Council. It is the responsibility of this group to organize inter-school athletic activities. All the billets for the Revelstoke and South Burnaby basketball teams were arranged by the billet committee. Refreshments were sold at all basketball games and the outdoor track meet by the refreshment committee. When South Burnaby visited Kamloops the ACC sponsored a sock dance in the cafeteria after the game.

This year the Badminton Club was sponsored by Mrs. Butler (Miss Clarke). A small fee was paid by the members each week when they met to compete.
On Monday, March 25, 1957, the members finished the season with a tournament in which Grant Robertson and Ken Howsouski won a prize for the best doubles.
The members would like to thank Mrs. Butler for devoting her time and energy to the club.
KHS Senior Band
This year the band has carried on under the direction of Miss Frances Day.
The executive of the band this year is Dave Gillespie, president; Maurice Lambert, vice-president; Ste1Ia Black, secretary; Betty Lowdon, treasurer; Marianne Dunlop, Graham Boothroyd and Pat Gould are the members of the Board.
We have had two bottle drives and we did well in both. We travelled to Vernon in January for the Junior Chamber of Commerce Award presentations. We travelled to Kelowna on May 9, 10, 11 for the Annual Band and Orchestra Conference.
We took 1st class honors in the Yale-Cariboo Musical Festival with 87 marks awarded.
Many and sincere thanks go to Miss Day for giving her time so freely to the tremendous job of Band leader.
KHS Junior Band
For many years our late and beloved instrumental conductor, Mr. A. Nelson McMurdo planned on building up a Junior Band in the school-besides his Senior Band. Several attempts were made but due to ill health, "Mr. Mc" was forced to abandon the idea. At last, we are proud to say, his dream has been realized and KHS has a fine 30 piece Junior Band. The group worked very hard and entered the Yale-Cariboo Music Festival, receiving 82 points for their interpretation of "Waves of the Danube" by Olivodoti. May this new group have a long and prosperous future ahead of it.

Finished Season with Good Average
Kamloops High School's Senior Basketball team. the Red Devils, did not have quite so strong a club as last year's, but finished the season with quite a good average, winning 44 per cent of their games. The Devils entered the Okanagan Senior C League in which they won three games and lost five. They played a two-game total-point series with Revelstoke, winning 102-97, and thus gained the right to participate in the High School Tournament at Salmon Arm. Here they won two games and barely lost one.
The Red Devils then journeyed to Vancouver to take part in the B.C. High School Basketball Tournament. They found the opposition a bit stiffer there and dropped two close, hard-fought games to West Vancouver and Abbotsford.
The rest of the Red Devils' games were exhibition. Many thanks to coach Art Field for producing a good, hardworking basketball team.

The Red Angels were playing against one of the hardest leagues of the valley - that of the Senior Women's "B" League which provided very strong competition. They lost out in this league but had exhibition games where they made their comeback, playing against Salmon Arm, Revelstoke and Coast teams. On February 9th the Red Angels were host to Revelstoke when they became the Northern Zone Champions by defeating Revelstoke 41-20. In the Okanagan series at Salmon Arm, the girls lost out but every game was close. Tomi Yamada was chosen for first string on the All-Star Team and Sumi Wakabayashi on the second string.
Juvenile Girls Basketball
The Juvenile Girls' Basketball group had a very successful year. They were coached by Mrs. Butler.
The team went on several trips which included Merritt, Clinton, and Revelstoke. They defeated Merritt but lost to Clinton. The girls played four games against Revelstoke, two exhibition and a two-game total point series. They won both exhibition games but lost the total point series by one point.
Gremlins
Playing in two leagues this year, the Gremlins chalked up twenty wins and five losses. In the City Juvenile League, they swept to seven straight victories against North Kamloops and "the Indian School in regular league play and playoff competition.
In the Interior Juvenile Division they finished second in league play, beating Kelowna, but dropping a hard-fought two game total point series with Summerland. In the opener of the finals, Summerland nipped the Gremlins 46-33. In the second game the tables were turned. The Gremlins won 35-33 but failed to take the series.
In exhibition games, the Gremlins won all but two, beating Vernon, Merritt, and three Vancouver Boys' Clubs. The Gremlins played three games against the Red Devils, winning one and losing two. They also played two games against the KBC Clowns, winning both.
Cheerleaders
The cheerleaders got off to a good start this year with Mrs. Butler (Miss Clarke) as sponsor. Student support was lacking at first but this did not bother the cheerleaders. Their peppy cheers helped lead KHS teams to victory.
During the season they made two big basketball trips with the Red Devils - one to Vancouver and one to Salmon Arm, and also cheered at many home games. Members are: Jackie Cooper, Marilyn McKay, Sydney Savage, Gayle Stewart, Joan Sternig, Sharon Miller, Margery Pedder, Mary Prodda, Mary Ellen Gamble and Elspeth Norman.
Congratulations and good luck next year!
High School Conference Report
Chern Singh and Heather Carson recently attended the Tenth Annual U.B.C. High School Conference, representing the students and student body of K.H.S. Here now, are their comments on the visit:
The conference got off to a bright and early start at 8 :30 Friday, February 22. Present were 225 delegates from the 116 schools, the largest contingent ever.
After the speeches of welcome, we attended an interesting lecture on "The Value of a University Education" given by Dr. W. A. Bryce.
In the afternoon, we were sent our separate ways to listen to a sample classroom lecture and lectures on "Extra-Curricular Activities."
Then we returned to Brock Hall for some much-needed relaxation before we were led to a delicious meal at Acadia Camp, one of the university residences.
That night we were given a choice of seeing either "Girl Crazy," a musical play put on by the students, or a basketball game.
The following day we were taken on a tour of the Campus. We visited the Museum of Anthropology, the Art Gallery, the Hydraulics Laboratory in the Engineering Building, where we saw scale dams and canals in use, and the Van de Graff Generator (atom smasher); a model hut in which one can lie in bed and reach for anything in the room, and the Library which we were told, contains 300,000 books.
Dean W. H. Gage then spoke to us on "Scholarships and Bursaries", He estimated that, on the average, it takes an out-of-town student $1,000 to maintain himself at university for one year. In the afternoon, the faculty members described the various departments of the University. We were given an opportunity to ask questions of the speakers. That evening we were treated to a very enjoyable banquet and dance. One of the speakers at the banquet was the Deputy Minister of Education, J. F. K. English, a former principal of Kamloops High.
In concluding, we would like to say that we have a considerable number of pamphlets, notes and general information on all aspects of University life, which should be very informative to anyone who is interested.

Curling Club
The High School Curing Club started the year off with a bang. It gradually got smaller until only about twenty-five were steady members. Mr. Johnson was sponsor of our Kamloops club. Mr. Kennedy was the North Kamloops sponsor. Trips were made to Salmon Arm, Revelstoke, Kelowna and Osoyoos.
Eugina Chapman's rink was runner-up in "B" event at Salmon Arm, and Mike Taylor's rink was winner of "C" event at Kelowna. We put on our own bonspiel with 16 rinks participating. The year could have been more successful if there had been a bigger turn-out. Good luck next year.

Two films from Victoria College were also very interesting. Some of the club members have had the opportunity of observing in elementary school classes and some have even taught. The club, consisting of grade XI, XII and XIII students, is sponsored by Mrs. Elder who has spoken to us on the many things necessary to understand when one enters teaching. The programme this year has been very helpful to all those who are contemplating entering this profession.

The Glee Club has had a most successful year. Strenuous practice began last fall for our production "Melody Magic." Our first performance was in Merritt where, although the audience was not too large, they were appreciative. The girls enjoyed very much the five performances of "Melody Magic" in our own auditorium. The executive are thankful to the many students who sold tickets. We feel the people of Kamloops responded very well. Near the beginning of the year we elected an executive. They are as follows:
President - Marilynne Klinck;
Secretary-Brenda Ward;
Treasurer-Peggy-Lou Jackson;
Wardrobe Mistress-Bev. Ford;
Social Convener-Roberta Lang;
Librarian-Margaret Wyse.
During the year we have also sung at a variety show at the North Kamloops High School. A triple trio composed of Glee Club members have sung at the Lions Variety Show and the Canadian Daughters' League Convention.
After the last performance of "Melody Magic" the teachers gave us a party and provided interesting entertainment. We will be ending the year with a big wiener roast and swimming party.
The girls have enjoyed working together this year and are expecting bigger and better things for next year.
"Melody Magic," this year's musical production, was put on by the Kamloops High School Glee Club.
The Club is made up of sixty-six girls, ranging from grades nine to thirteen and is divided into three voices -sopranos, second sopranos and altos.
There were three acts in the production, the first being Music of the Churches, the second-Songs of the Nations and the third and final act-Songs of the Season. Each scene was improved by colourful costumes and lighting.
The soloists in the first act were Arlana Bulman, who opened with. Ave Maria, and Judy Nielly, who sang the Lord's Prayer.
The second act was made more vivid by folk dances and a solo by Pennie Oxnard. The soloists in the last and final act were Arlana Bulman, who sang a folk song "Oh No John" in a very charming manner, and Donna Cassel, who sang the beautiful "My Hero" from the Chocolate Soldier.
"Melody Magic" was performed on three evenings, March 27, 28 and 29, plus a matinee on the afternoon of March 27.
Under the splendid direction of Mrs. Marion Owens, the Glee Club was able to put on an elegant show, which, from all reports, the public enjoyed immensely.

This year the Hi-Lights experienced one of its better years. The only dull point was its financial situation. The expenses on a roving reporter and printing costs on a large edition didn't quite balance out with money brought in by the paper and the minimum of advertising in it. The staff of Hi-Lights along with their sponsors Miss Turner and Mr. McIlwain would like to thank the students of KHS for increasing our circulation to 500 copies and the staff also forgets the ups and downs of this year so as to extend the best to the staff of the next year's paper.

Despite a small membership, the Y-Teens have been very active. The highlight of the year was the Interior Conference held this year at K.H.S., with delegates attending from Penticton, Kelowna, Bralorne and Kimberley.
The Annual Recognition Service was held in November in the Chapel of St. Paul's Church. The address was given by Canon J. C. Jolley. This was followed by a Tea for the parents in the Parish Hall. In February. two delegates. Pat Vicars and Marjorie Clark, were sent to the mid-winter conference in Victoria. It is hoped that two delegates can again be sent to the Leadership Training Camp in August on Gambier Island.
The service projects for this year have been: collected money at the noon hour shows, canvassed on Poppy Day, prepared a Christmas hamper, were hostesses to the Grade XI and XII girls of the Indian Residential School, and held a nylon stocking drive in March. Some money raising projects have been: engaging in donut and candy sales. bake sales, serving tea to the teachers and serving at banquets.

Projectionist Club

The Projectionist Club, sponsored by Mr. Stuart, had a very successful year. The older members passed on their skill to the newcomers in order to keep up the responsibility of their club. The noon-hour shows, held in the auditorium during the winter months, took care of the monotony which persisted through the school. The club also donated their time on special occasions for showing films to different organizations outside of the school.
