The K.H.S. Badminton Club enjoyed another successful year in 1960 and 1961. Dennis Beeman was elected President with Sue Buckham as secretary.
Stars
Front Row: Bob Hearn, Dale Sandyke, Bob Smillie, Paul Webber, Gerry Hill Back Row: Doug Hunter(Mgr.), Rhynard Blumenscheit, Ken Cooper, Bud Atkins, Jamie Thompson, Mike DeBeck, Del Ottem, Nick Kalyk (coach)
As 1960 saw a fine crop of freshmen athletes enter Kamloops High, this year's version of the Stars was the most successful since the team's formation 2 years ago. Hard-working coach Nick Kalyk molded the Stars into the valley's finest junior basketball team.
The Stars fared amazingly well in older, more experienced competition, winning the City Bantam Championship from the Gremlins.
In the City Junior Finals, the Stars lost to the KIRS Smokies, who eventually went on to win the Okanagan Championship. However, the Stars proved themselves the top by soundly trouncing the Smokies in two games straight.
Sprites
Coach: Miss Gail Stewart Manager: Kathy Beaton Captain: Gail Storey
For the 1960-61 basketball season, the Sprites were under the able coaching of Gail Stewart who is a former K. H. S. Red Angel.
The Sprites played practice games with the K. I. R. S. Senior Girls, Vernon Sr. Girls and the Gremlins and Junior Jets of K. H. S.

"Zorro"
The Red Devils won-lost record indicates a moderately successful season in 1960. Against local competition, they came through unscathed, defeating North Kamloops, K.I.R.S., Kamloops Boys' Club, and the St. Ann's Academy with comparative ease. In the tougher Okanagan league competition the Red and Black bowed to Summerland, Oliver, and Salmon Arm but downed the Vernon and Penticton teams. The Devils this year failed to win a single tournament. The Red Devils were also entered in the Kamloops Senior Men's League in which they won their share of ballgames.
At the end of the year the Red and Black whipped Burnaby Central High by a comfortable margin. This was a rebuilding year in Coach Martino's plans for the ultimate goal of the B. C. Championship. The fact that practically the entire team will return next year, coupled with the success of our freshmen team may indicate the formation of a basketball dynasty at K. H. S.
K.H.S. Red Angels
Standing: (Left to Right): Mrs. Van Ryswick (coach), Pam Ottem, Jane Jongshaap, Diane Bond, Jocelyn Rodgers, Sue Buckham, Marilyn Whitby, (manager.) Kneeling: (Left to Right): Naomi Kenward, Bonnie Stewart, Ewena Kenward, Gail Millar, Lorna McLeod. Missing: Jane Pye.
The KHS Red Angels came out on the top of the Central Mainland League to represent this area in the B. C. Championships in Vancouver. This League consisted of the K.I.R.S., N.K.H.S., St. Ann's and K.H.S. In the Red Angels' Tournament, Prince George placed first with the Red Angels right behind to win the consolation. The team travelled to Vernon, Kelowna, and Salmon Arm to participate in the Okanagan League.
In Vancouver, they played South Burnaby for the first game and won 43-24, but lost the second game to Victoria, 35-25. Victoria played Salmon Arm in the final game of the tournament and Salmon Arm was victorious.
Our team played two exhibition games with the B.C. and Dominion Sr. "B" Champs, the Kelowna Teddy Bears.
The Red Angels put on two talent shows to raise money to pay for team jackets.
Junior Jets

Sponsor: Miss Sampson
The Junior Jets had a very successful basketball season under the coaching of Ewena Kenward. During the season, they played in three tournaments. At John Peterson Jr. High they played third and at N. K. H. S. they came out in first place to capture the City Championship. The 1960-61 top scorer for the Junior Jets was Jo-Anne Kipp.
Gremlins
Front Row: John Scott, Peter Davids, Eric Cavaghan, Grant McFarlane Back Row: Ron McKay, Dave Cavazzi, Richard Hay, Helmut Blumenscheit, Denny Harrison, Bob Gordon, Mickey Martino (Coach)
The Gremlins once again returned to Bantam classification this year, and under the leadership of coach M. Martino, emerged with a very favorable won-loss record. As most farm teams do however, the Gremlins lost their top talent to the senior team and hence lost the City League Bantam Championship to the Stars.
Bowling Club

The K.H.S. Bowling Club once again enjoyed a highly successful year. The K.H.S. club captured several tournament events, including the regional tourney on March 11. At the Western Canadian Championships at Burnaby, the Red and Black placed a respectable third.
Dan Conroy was president of the club and Mr. Cleghorn, the sponsor.
The Senior Cheerleaders cheered for the Red Angels and the Red Devils basketball teams. They also took part in the Angels and the Devils Invitational Basketball Tournaments, The North Okanagan Championships and the Red Angels League Playoffs. Mr. Kalyk was chief criticizer and gave many helpful hints at the weekly practices.
Junior Cheerleaders
Row 1: Susan Nicolson, Janine Pepper. Row 2: Barbara Derewenko, Pat Fuoco, Cheryl Gustafson
This year our Junior Cheerleaders cheered for the Junior Jets, the Stars, the Gremlins and the Junior Soccer Teams. They took part in the Soccer tournament at Rutland and the Basketball tournaments at St. Anne's Academy, K. I. R. S. and North Kamloops.

The Curling Club, comprised of some 48 members, once again enjoyed a very successful year.
In our own Kamloops Bonspiel, the rinks of Bridget Parkes and Lynn Phillips fared very well. A total of 24 rinks took part including 8 from Kamloops.
In the Kelowna Bonspiel, Bridget Parkes' rink finished 3rd in the "C" event.
In the Canadian High School Playdowns, Roger Parkes' rink won the local zone finals but lost out to Jerry Coughlin in the Okanagan zone finals. Jerry Coughlins rink, of course, went on to win the Canadian Championship.
Mr. Middleton worked very hard as the club's sponsor.

The Okanagan Valley last year joined the B.C. Lion's mushrooming minor football program with four teams: Kamloops, N. Kamloops, Vernon and Kelowna joining the league.
Vernon won the league championship this year with Kelowna second, North Kamloops third, and the hapless Red Devils last.
1961 promises a better future for the entire league and Kamloops in particular. Night games are planned and a new entry, Penticton will enter. In K.H.S. sweeping changes will be made to improve on the Red and Black's last place finish and to ensure K.H.S. students a winning team.

This year, our school paper met with several successes which should lay a solid basis for next year and all the forthcoming days of its publication. Briefly, the achievements of Hi-Lights were threefold. First, as never before, the paper is now financially stable. Each issue resulted in a substantial profit and a fairly large sum has been accumulated to provide security for future years. Second, the paper's size was increased by two pages, the price remaining at its previous level. Third, the number of issues was increased by one. These advancements mark the continuation of a considerable trend of progress which has been made during the past three years.
Perhaps next year, even greater achievements will be made.

President's Message
Another school year draws inexorably to a close; another graduating class and another Student's Council fade into oblivion; the school year of '60 - '61 with its many events and accomplishments becomes another excerpt from the unwritten pages of KHS history. Next year will see a new graduating class, a new Student's Council, new events and accomplishments; such is the relentless march of school life.
What has been said and done in this year's council will have but an exiguous influence on future councils, but will remain with its members for the rest of their lives, however dim the memories may become. What is most important, KHS tradition has been upheld for another year. Our clubs, our sports, our social functions – all have been successful. Kamloops High has emerged in the front ranks in virtually every endeavour it has undertaken (with the lone exception of football, which, in its foundling year, has not been as successful as it was hoped) - Basketball, Band, Track, and Field, Volleyball, Academics, Dances, to name a few.
Too, we have seen a number of innovations to school life of ultimate benefit to the entire student body. Our student assemblies have afforded us an opportunity to become informed on school affairs, to learn of contemporary events through guest speakers, and to escape the monotony of schoolwork. The newly-formed Fine Arts Council has brought the clubs under the Students' Council and thus counterbalances Council control of athletics under the ACC. A student handbook has now been assembled, containing maps of the school, explanation of our school system, and other pertinent information. This means that grade 9's and new students will have a ready-made guide to the school and hence will be better able to adapt themselves to the intricacies of KHS.
It has been my honour and privilege to have served as President of the Students' Council through the '60 - '61 school year. To the teaching staff I say thank-you (Oops: I almost added, "for a job well done"); to the students, I say thank you for your support of this year's council, and I wish you every success in the future; and to my fellow graduates, may these twelve years be merely the beginning of your education, and may you have every success and happiness throughout your lifetime.
