Besides its regular activities, this year's Council took on an extra project -- the bringing in of the Chilliwack High School Band and Choir to perform here. Their attendance marked a homecoming for Mr. Warr, their director, and a K.S.S. graduate.
During January the Council took on the A.C.C. in a hard-fought game of basketball. As a result our Students' Council held the Challenge Cup for a short while.
The slight increase in school spirit was largely due to the increase in the number of Students , Council - sponsored assemblies. The guest speakers at these assemblies were interesting and student participation was good.
Four dances were sponsored by the Students' Council this year: The Country Hoedown, Get Acquainted Dance, the Christmas Prom and The Farewell Dance. The attendance at these dances was not spectacular, but those who did attend report that they had a good time regardless of the small number.

The Athletic Coordinating Council, in contrast to the F.A.C., had a very active year, but also had financial troubles. The A.C.C. got the House System in swing with the indoor track meet. House volleyball and basketball was played during the winter but was discontinued in the spring. Friday noon sock dances, sponsored by the A.C.C. were well attended. Guest instrumentalists "The Shadows" and "The Silver Strings" played occasionally at the sock hops. The Challenge Cup was kept in circulation this vear. Clubs and teams fighting for the coveted beer-mug played a variety of games: basketball, hopscotch, bubble-gum blowing,and knitting (the football team had a great knitting squad). The A.C.C. bought new uniforms for several teams and sent many teams to out-of-town tournaments. The financial strain caused by this year's large expenditures found the A.C.C. in debt in May. But a year-end fund-raising bid, a week long car wash at noon hours, pulled the Council out of the hole.
Badminton Club
The Badminton Club got off to a late start this year but was successful towards the end of the season. Miss Allen was the sponsor and two tournaments were held: a singles tournament and a doubles tournament. In the singles tournament, Robert Smith was the champion of the experienced players and Sandy Dalgleish was the champion of the beginners. The members were: Sandy Dalgleish, Glen DeGregorio, Bill Demkiw, Nick Antoniak, Ray Antoniak, Richard Botta, Brian Buckley, Ray Shellard, Bob Affleck, Allan Campbell and Betty Heron. In the above picture (left to right) are Bob Affleck, Robert Smith and Jim Fulton the doubles champions, and Glen DeGregorio.
Kamloops High School Band
The school year of 62-63 proved to be a very successful one for the band. The highlight of the year was the trip to Vancouver where the band placed a close second to the Kitsilano Boy's Band. A week later the band competed in the Okanagan Music Festival and received top marks in a class of 5. In our local festival they won over North Kamloops and Vernon.
The band started the year with a public concert. They also played at the Cenotaph for the Remembrance Day Service. The band also performed a selection of Christmas songs for the children at Tranquille School
At the end of the year the band presented another public concert and invited as their guests, the Senior Citizens.

They were also entered in one Senior "A" Tournament and managed to defeat two of the teams before being eliminated. Top player was David Smith as he won a most valuable player position in the "A" Tournament.

Red Devils
The K.S.S. Red Devils of 1962-63, coached by Mr. Martino, had a very good season until the tourney held at Salmon Arm. Penticton, Salmon Arm, Oliver and our Red Devils participated. They lost a heart-breaker to Penticton who eliminated them, and ended their season. Prior to this tourney the Red Devils had a very successful season, as far as the league games went, winning all six of them. In the league these were teams from Vernon, Salmon Arm, North Kamloops and of course Kamloops.
The Devils of next year look like they will be another good contender. Most of their guards will be leaving, but all the forwards and the centres will still be here. Good luck on next year's play and let us hope you bring home a winning team. Congratulations on this year's play and good luck in all future games!
In games outside the league the Devils did quite well. In 2 exhibition games with Vernon and Kelowna they were victorious. In three tourneys, two in Kamloops and one in Salmon Arm they won 12 games and lost only 3. Two of these tournaments they won, losing the one in Salmon Arm.
Members of this years team were:

Since we would like to see our Devils do better next year and maybe go as far as the B.C. finals, we should tell you that they always play better with a crowd, the larger the better.
Red Angels Basketball

The out of town trips included Salmon Arm and Vernon. The climax of the season~was a trip to Vancouver for the Provincial Tournament on March 8th to the 10th. The team emerged second, being defeated by Salmon Arm. Although they put up a big fight in the final game of the tension-packet tournament, the Red Angels were not able to defeat Salmon Arm. The Kam. High students and the Annual Club offer our congratulations to Mrs. Van and the girls on their successful year and especially on their good showing in Vancouver.
KYEBA!!!!
The Angels team will suffer greatly next year by the loss of Mrs. Van Ryswyk. With her help the Angels have won two provincial Championships and she will be remembered by everyone in the school.

Butch Colistro did a wonderful job this year by being the choreographer and dance trainer for our school, which this year did the production of West Side Beat. It was taken from the Musical "West Side Story", and there were approximately 30 students taking part in it, including 12 boys who were congratulated by adjudicators for their interpretation. The leading parts were taken by Butch, Judy Summers, Judy Tredwell, Gene Pasiuk and Bill Bonter. Niki Norberg and Susan Nicholson also did a fine job with their duet. Others in the cast were; Elva Nye, Lyne Jones, Petrina Gregson, Barbara Derewenko, Sharon Mitchell, Ann Menzies, A. Surrett, Ken Terry, Larry Morgan, Albert Matter, Mike McKinnon, Jim French, Andy McLaren, Ray Antoniak, Tyler Wiley, and many others who gave their help and support for the success of the dance. The group's first big performance was in the Okanagan Musical Festival where they received a mark of 86 and many fine comments by the adjudicator, Mari MacBirney. At the end of April they danced in the Yale-Cariboo Musical Festival where they received a mark of 89 from adjudicator Jean Simpson. They received the top marks in these festivals and received a diploma on both occasions.
They also danced for the members and cast for the Dominion Drama Festival in the Green Room Sessions. They were praised by audience, visiting critics and adjudcator. They were asked to dance for other occasions but due to shortness of the school year, they ended the dance when appearing in the Yale-Cariboo Musical honors performance.
Congratulations to Butch and also to Mr. Kerr, the sponsor, for making this group such a success.
Inter School Dance
March 29 was an important day in the lives of K. S. S. and Nor-Kam students. On that date our students and our neighbours across the river, gathered in the North Kamloops gym for the third annual InterSchool Dance. The Mardi Gras theme encouraged students to turn our in some unique costumes.

The football team amalgamated with North Kamloops this year and will do so in the future as it is now a School District team. The team had a successful season as they ended in the third place. They were tied for second place with Penticton but lost out because of points for and against. They won three of their six league games.
Mr. Kalyk was the Head of Football, and the coaches were: Grant McLeod (head coach), Ron Long, Al Whitney and Derek McGillivray. Bret McGillivray was the offensive captain and Dan Conroy defensive captain.
The team was fortunate in having Bret McGillivray, Doug Smith and Brian Fedorick attend the B.C. Lions football clinic in Vancouver during the Easter holidays. Rumors have it that the coaches were really impressed with the boys.
This spring there is a practice session mainly for conditioning and establishing a routine for the boys. They will be turning out early in September and they are expected to be in top physical condition.
Student participation was better this year than previous years and next season it is expected to be better yet. So remember, students, come to the game early to ensure yourself a seat!!!!
