On behalf of the Annual Staff of '62, I would like to take this opportunity to thank all those who have helped in the production of this yearbook. We are gratefully indebted to all students who contributed pictures or literary works, and to those who wrote personals for the senior grades. Special thanks to Kathy Mackie and Rae Parkes; and to typists Bob Simpson, Holly Lyons, Gerry Farmer, and Marg Robson for help received from them. Without the co-operation of the students and staff members, this yearbook could not have been a success.
THANK YOU Gloria Williams.

Students' Council
Having served for the past year as President of your Students' Council, I extend these parting words to the members of the 1961-62 student body and faculty. To the graduates — happiness. May your four academic years at Kamloops High have formed a ground-work that will be of value to you wherever you go. May the experience acquired through our clubs and teams be of ultimate benefit, and may the mere reminiscence of your school and its associates bring happiness.
I take this opportunity to thank the student body for its co-operative interest (the consistency of which has been as in the past, somewhat questionable) in school affairs in general. Only with this interest and co-operation could the Executive carry out their varied duties. Deservious of special thanks is Mr. MacMillan, advisor to the Students' Council, from whom came wise words of advice and suggestion. Special recognition is also forwarded to the officers, sponsors and active members of the various clubs and teams, the subsistence of which is, in effect, the nucleus of extra-curricular activity.
This year has been a memorable year for sports fans. With one of the most amazing comebacks ever seen at Kamloops High; displaying a complete reversal of form from last year our football team walked off with the Okanagan Championship. Basketball fans, too, had a great year. Two years ago, a talented Red Angels team took the B. C. Championship handily; this year an upstart team, short on talent but long an spirit, fought their way to their second title in three years.
Concluding, I wish to extend my sincere best wishes to the graduating class of this year for happiness and success in their endeavours; to the undergraduates, may your remaining years at Kamloops High be years of achievement and merit.
Victor Banno
President.

Leave it to Jane
This year Kam-Hi hit the acting boards again with the hilarious musical comedy "Leave It To Jane". The play was centered around a football theme at dear old "Atwater", a small college in the southern U.S.A. Atwater is trying to win a football game against rival college "Bingham", but complications set in and only true love saved the day. Beth Odynsky played "Jane", the college glamour girl who is also "Dr. Witherspoon's" (Bruce Handford) daughter. "Stub" (Bob Ohrazda) and "Bessie" (Deron Bacon) use "Jane" to lure "Bill" (Norm DeLeenheer) to come to Atwater, but "Bill" is the son of "Mr. Bolton"(Ezio Cividino) who owns Bingham.
Too add touches of laughter are "Bub" (Lorne Coxon), his father "Senator Hicks", (Keith Swain), Flora Wiggins(Eileen Sowerby), "Silent Murphy" (John Cox), "Mattie Magowan" (Vance Jones), and "Ollie Mitchell" (Grant McFarlane). There were also boys and girls choruses which did a terrific job.
At the end of the play, Atwater wins and "Bill and Jane", "Stub and Bess", and "Flora and Mattie" all get their love.
Many thanks go to Mr. Hosek, Miss Poggemiller and Mrs. Owens for all their hard work they did to make the playa success. Thanks also to any others who were in the play. Production dates were Feb. 26, 27, 28, and March 1. The matinee on Feb. 26 was enthusiastically received by nearly all members of the student body.
