During the past school year, the band played for the United Appeal, Tranquille and the Provincial Home. They also played for the Annual Scout District Church Parade. In February, the Band presented it's annual concert which proved to be very successful. At the beginning of April they travelled to Kelowna for the Okanagan Music Festival. They received first place in the High School Baud competition, a class of seven bands. They placed second in the Open Division. At our own local Festival, K.H.S. Band won over North Kamloops. For money-raisers, the band held two bottle drives as well as a chocolate drive at Christmas.

Stars
PLAYERS: Don Anthony, Bill Adams, Robert Hay, Gordon Honey, Gene Pazuik, Eric Cavaghan, Denny Harrison, David Jordan, Martin Gerry
This year the Stars, KHS's Junior Boys Basketball team, had a fairly successful 1959-60 season. They played in a league with KBC Clowns, KIRS Braves, NKHS and JPHS, Winning 9 of the 18 games played. In the league tournament the Stars placed second, losing to the KBC Clowns. The top scorers for the team were Martin Gerry with 92 points, David Jordan with 85 points and Don Anthony with 78 points. This year the Stars were coached by a Grade 13 student, Ray Williams.

BACK ROW: Coach - Mrs. Van Ryswyk Norma Whiteman, Judy Hull, Barbara Waugh, Sandie Stuart, Meri1ee Beatty, Pam Ottem FRONT ROW: Gayle Miller, Marg Marra, Dale Halawell, Judy Tredwell MISSING: Annilee Samoridny, Kay Sutherland
The Sprites were a newly formed intermediate girls basketball team this year. As there was no intermediate league, the Sprites took part in the Kamloops Senior league competing against the Red Angels, Norkits, and the K.I.R.S. Cubs. They also took part in the Red Angels' Invitational Tournament where they won the award for the "Most Sportsmanlike Team". Nest year the Sprites should provide even keener competition in the Senior League.

With the helpful coaching of Mr. Martino, the Red Devils had a successful season this year, holding an impressive record of 32 wins & 9 losses. Eighteen of these wins were in succession. They became city champs by beating the Indian School in the City Playoffs with Jack Buckham and Stuart Roberts being selected as All-Stars. The championship was also decided more strongly in their favour by their victory over the 1933 "Old timers” in a hilarious game, with a close score of 53-50: The Devils had a city league record of 11 wins and 2 losses. Another laugh for the fans of KHS came with the game featuring the Harlem Clowns against the Devils. "Vincie" proved to be good for a few laughs when the Clowns picked on him as the subject of their outrageous jokes!
This year the Devils played in three tourneys, in which they met many new teams. At the Summerland Tournament they came 2nd. losing to Pentiction, 56-50. Warren Hewlett starred for the Devils and was selected to the All-Star Team.
Probably the biggest thrill for the students of the black and red was the Devils' own Invitational Tourney. The odds favoured the Devils, so it was quite a shock when they lost their first game to Quesnel, 37-36. This was a heartbreaker, but the next day the Devils, putting on a magnificent show, came from behind to win five consecutive games, beating out Summerland in the final 45-44 and winning the Ray Street Trophy. Jack Buckham and Vince Basile proved to be the backbone of the team and were selected to the All-Star team for their efforts.
In the Interior playoffs, which decided the team to travel to the Coast for the B.C. Playoffs, the Devils did not fare too well. They started out well by beating Salmon Arm in a best of three series, thereby earning a bye in the Kelowna Tournament. In this tourney they fell to Penticton and Oliver. By placing third, they lost their chance to travel to Coast as representatives of the CMD.
PLAYERS ARE: Jane Jongschaap, Karen Kenward, Sue Hamilton, Marily Braaten, Gloria Harrison, Dianne Bond, Marlene Miller, Eena Kenward, Pam Ottem, Lorna McLeod, Donna Anderson. COACH: Miss Minette MANAGER: Diana Veness
The Red Angels' Sr. Girls Basketball Team of K.H.S. was very successful during the 59-60 terms. During the basketball season the girls played games against teams from Armstrong, N.Kamloops, Salmon Arm, Vernon, Penticton, Osoyoos, Vancouver, Victoria, Kamloops, Mission, Princeton, Barriere, and Ke1owna. They lost only four games during the entire season. Two of these losses went to Salmon Arm, and the two went to Osoyoos and the Indian School. Besides attending a Tournament in Salmon Arm, in which they placed third, the Angels hosted an Invitational Tournament in the latter part of November. In this tourney they managed to come out on top, beating the spirited N.Kamloops team 28-21 in the final game. To finish the season, the Angels represented the Central Mainland District of B.C. in the Provincial Playoffs at U.B.C., March 10, 11, 12. Here, they made history by being the first Interior Team to take the B.C. Championship.
Next year the Angels will suffer a big loss by losing Sue, Donna, Karen and Marlene. But with new material coming up from the Junior teams, the future looks much brighter for the 60-61 term. On behalf of the school, the Annual Staff would like to congratulate the Angels on their outstanding performance at the B.C. Tournament. As a result of their prowess and good sportsmanship much honour and glory has come home to K.H.S. Well done gir1s! Kyeba!
Junior Jets
COACH: Mrs. van Ryswyk Back row: L to R - Gail Storey, Karen Beblow, Viane Zirnhelt, Jocelyn Rogers, Margaret Jackson, Bonnie Colquhoun, Bev Raymond. Front row: Naomi Kenward, Joanne Critchfield, Joy Jackson, Bonnie Stewart, Judy Summers. Missing: Susan Buckham
The jets had a very good season this year; they managed to win all games before the tournaments started. This team consists of girls from Grade 9, and for their ages they set up a very high standard of junior Basketball. The jets held their own tourney on February 27, and took an easy win over Reve1stoke and North Kamloops whom they met in the final games. On March 5 at St. Ann's Academy, the girls took the City League Trophy. On March 12, the Jets went to Rutland for the Interior Championship Games. The team met Salmon Arm in the final game, losing a very close and well fought competition, to place second. Next year many of the players will migrate to the Red Angels. A splendid record, girls!
Gremlins
COACH: Mr. Lennox BACK ROW: Doug Hay, Peter Hall, Doug Anthony, Roger Lancaster, Robert Banno FRONT ROW: Dave Bensted, Albert Basile
The Gremlins coached by Mr. Lennox were fairly successful this year. They placed third in the city league, beating every team except the Argys and winning six out of fourteen games.
In other basketball activity they were even more successful. In our own Invitational Tournament they placed fourth out of the nine teams entered in the tourney; and in a tournament held in Prince George, the Gremlins placed second losing only to Prince George.
Individually, Doug Anthony, Waverly Conan, and Peter Hall placed in the top ten in the scoring race: Nice work fellows!
At 2:00 A.M. Thursday morning, March 10, 1960, eleven sleepy Red Angels piled out of cars and watched a broken gas tank drain six gallons of gas into the deepening snow. Standing there in the dark wilderness, the shivering girls must have wondered whether this trip was worth all the trouble; but as the gas drained out of the tank, spirit drained into the Angels', spirit which lived throughout the Tournament, and carried the girls on to an unexpected but well deserved victory.
The Angels played a total of four games in this tournament. In their first game they defeated the well known Jay-O team from Vancouver, 36-30. After defeating Mt. Newton, 39-15, they battled against Mt. Douglas from Victoria, to take the Semi-Final Game 35-25.
In the tightly packed Women's Gym at U.B.C., the Angels played the Final Game Saturday night against Mission, and came out on top, 28-18 to become the B.C. Provincial Champs of 1960.
The Provincial Playoffs held at this time every year since 1948 had never been won by any Interior team, until the Angels' broke the Coast "Jinx" and won the right to put "Kamloops-1960" on this much treasured cup.
The Angels hope to do as well next year; nevertheless, this happy victory will live in the hearts of the Kamloops students for many years to come.
CONGRATULATIONS ANGELS!

The Bowling Club is another group which started the season with a very large turnout. As a result of the large number of members, it was necessary to divide the group into Junior and Senior Divisions. Each of these sections played for their houses. Mr. Knapp and Mr. Barker sponsored the club. Mr. Barker, Dave Wyse, and Lorainne Clapperton headed the Senior section; the Junior section was headed by Mr. Knapp, Danny Conroy and Lenore Carleton. The Club played their games on Tuesdays and Thursdays in the Kamloops Bowladrome, with excellent bowling ability shown by all members. Honourable mention in the alley bowling field goes to Dave Pearson, who bowled over three hundred.

KHS SCHOOL SONG
Kamloops High to thee we're loyal, Kamloops High School is our cry. With the red and black unfurled, We are out to show the world That we come from Kamloops, Kamloops, Kamloops High!!
This year the Cheerleaders proved to be a great boon to the spirit of K.H.S. The Senior Cheerleaders, coached by Judy Colquhoun attended many Senior games and put on a good show with their new cheers and the new school song. This song, illustrated here, has done very well, travelling to many other schools, via K.H.S. students on bus trips. The Seniors distinguished themselves from Cheerleaders of other schools by their black tights and red princess-line jumpers.
The juniors have also done very well this year. These four little pixies probably attended all of the junior games and tourneys, plus many of the Senior games. They proved to be the spark plug for much of the school spirit displayed in the K.H.S. gym and gave the junior boys' teams reason to put even a little more effort into their games. The juniors also looked attractive in their black plaid skirts and red tops with the big "K'" s across their fronts. A very good show girls!

1959-60 proved to be one of the most successful sessions for the K.H.S. Curling Club. There were 12 teams in the regular draw which was run off after school on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays. The first draw was completed before Christmas with Dave Bensted's rink on top. Another draw was held after Christmas, and this time the Ron Adie rink was victorious. As usual, the highlight of the year was the club bonspie1 which was without a doubt the best ever held. Thirty-two rinks participated, 24 of which were from out of town. Visiting rinks came from as far away as Chilliwack and Hope. Rinks from K.H.S. participated in several out of town bonspiels. Dave Bensted Rink won first in "A" event at the Ashcroft High School Bonspie1.
"Patience"
This year, K.H.S. was proud to present Gilbert and Sullivan's "Patience" of, "Bunthorne's Bride," a famous satire on the esthetic craze of the early 1880's.
The Operetta was produced and directed by Mrs. Owens, with the orchestra under the direction of Mr. Frank Hosek. Casting and rehearsing began early in October and soon the whole school was working very hard at making the production a success. A vote of thanks goes to everyone who helped with the production, both on stage and off. "Patience" will be a pleasant memory to many people for a long time.

Under their conductor, Mrs. Owens, this group of about sixty girls met every Friday noon and occasionally Tuesday evenings to practise and perfect songs for forthcoming performances. This year the Glee Club attended two festivals, held two concerts, and took part in many other functions.
At the Remembrance Day Service in November, the Glee Club joined with the band to sing "Testament of Nations."
December saw these songsters brushing up and learning their Christmas music. It was a busy month, but the girls took great delight in singing for the patients at Tranquille, the new Canadian citizens, and especially for the audience at their own concert.
At the Kelowna Festival in April, the girls tied for second with Kelowna. At the Kamloops-Yale-Cariboo Music Festival, they had no competition but sang very well. The adjudicator said the Glee Club's performance was of an almost professional calibre.
On May 24, the Glee Club gave their' fifth annual spring concert. The audience thoroughly enjoyed the lovely pieces the girls presented.
Singing favourite selections of the Grade XII students, the Glee Club ended its very musical year by participating in the Graduation, ceremonies.
A special thanks is extended to Mrs. Owens for her wonderful kindness, patience, and guidance and for the time she has devoted to the Glee Club.

The Gymnastics Club started in February with over 40 pupils turning out to the first practice. With the sponsors, Mr. Martino, Mrs. Van Ryswyk, and Miss Minette, the boys and girls met and practised every Tuesday and Thursday until the Gym Display which was held on March 28. This was put on by the members of the Gym Club and the Physical Education classes for the parents and the P.T.A. The Display was a success and many parents now have a better knowledge of what Physical Education does for the student. Following the display the Gym Club practised every Friday after school.

The track year has travelled to Penticton for the Okanagan Meet, and to North Kamloops for the Central Mainland District Meet. In both of these Track Meets the Kamloops Team was successful. At Penticton, Kamloops won several events. At North Kam1oops, the Kamloops team emerged as the winner of the meet.

In the tourneys in Salmon Arm, Vernon, and North Kam1oops, the girls placed third, finding Salmon Arm and Vernon their keenest competitors In the second tournament hosted by North Kam1oops, the team overcame all difficulties and brought home the Okanagan Mainland District Trophy.

The Junior Girls Volleyball Team had quite a busy 1959-60 season playing n two tournaments, travelling to Salmon Arm on January 9th, and hosting a tournament on February 13th.
In Salmon Arm they proved themselves the better team by defeating Vernon, Salmon Arm, Enderby and North Kam1oops, but they fell sadly to their Junior Counterparts, the John Peterson Volleyball Team.
In their own tournament on February 13th, the Junior Volleyball Team again were defeated by the John Peterson team but came back to win against North Kam1oops, Lloyd George and Salmon Arm.
Y-Teen Club
PRESIDENT : Jane Jongschaap SECRETARY: Jill Zingrich TREASURER: Ruth Coates
The Y-Teens got off to a good start this year when a group of unsuspecting Grade 11 girls were herded into and exposed to the life of the Y-Teens. Following the "Prepper" meeting, a hilarious initiation party was endured by all members and would-be members. Our. Recognition Service was held together with the North Kamloops Y-Teens in the K.H.S. auditorium with the mothers in attendance, and Mrs. Oldham as guest speaker.
The Interior Conference was held here this year and Miss Sybil Conroy of the "Save the Children's Fund" was the guest speaker. The Conference proved helpful and enjoyable for all representatives.
The big Service project of the year yielded $141 for the "World Refugee Fund". This was the largest sum collected by any B.C. Y-Teen group, and we have much right to be proud of our school and club for all their help and cooperation in this worthy cause. Other service projects were the collections of money at noon-hour shows, serving at a Salvation Army and Honour Club Banquet, carolling at Glenfair, and donating a Christmas hamper to a needy family.
Our finances were kept up by weekly "do-nut" sales. A pie sale raised money for the representatives to go to the Mid-Winter Conference at Victoria. This conference was not only a reunion of friends, but also a source of many helpful hints. We heard several wonderful speakers such as Miss Laura Butter, a "Minister of the United Church", and Dr. Brock Chisholm of Victoria College. The delegates, Jane Jongschaap and Ruth Coates, both rated this conference as "terrific."
Under education we had a series of religious speakers and a representative of Beauty Counsellor to give some demonstrations.
Social life was very active as we tried to have at least one "house party" a month.
The already successful year was capped by a graduation Tea at which awards and scrolls were presented.
The Y-Teen Grads wish the next year's club the best of luck in their activities.
Probably the biggest thrill for the students of the black and red was the Devils' own Invitational Tourney. The odds favoured the Devils, so it was quite a shock when they lost their first game to Quesnel, 37-36. This was a heartbreaker, but the next day the Devils, putting on a magnificent show, came from behind to win five consecutive games, beating out Summerland in the final 45-44 and winning the Ray Street Trophy.
