ACC
What's the ACC been doing this year? Just about everything it seems. The year started with that great big bang - the football parade, Remember that? And then there was the basketball season when they sent the Devils down to the BC finals. That was the first year that KSS ever had a Basketball Queen and sock hops after the games, The climax was probably the Carnival though with all the food booths. If that didn’t seem like a full enough schedule there were all the money raisers to get the ACC out of its ever rising debts. After all you can’t sponsor five basketball teams, a football team, a grass hockey team, a volleyball team, a track team and a house system on mere peanuts.
Three cheers for the ACC and the fabulous job its done this year.

The Band
Toot Toot Toot – the band was on the march again. This year they hit Calgary – and they all came home as Hororary Residents of Calgary complete with white stetsons. Their concert was part of an exchange program with a school in Calgary. With the Glee Club they played in the Golden Jubilee Auditorium - a marble columned and velvet seated affair capable of holding 3000 people. All the band members enjoyed themselves – but then they deserve to for working throughout the year. Earlier on they were busy with community concerts and selling thousands of chocolates. A Toast to a great Band and a Great year.

Red Devils
This was another year of disappointments for the interior champions. Under the expert coaching of Mr. Martino the big red rambled to another Okanagan Championship. In this tournament Bob Hearn, Bob Paterson, Dave Marshall, and Brian Marchuk, also M.V.P., were placed on the all-star team. The Devils again went undefeated in regular league play. However, the final tournament in Vancouver was a different story as they lost out to Oak Bay.
Lacking competition in the previous years, this year the team had a great number of games, Next year looks more promising as trips are planned to Oroville, Vancouver, Prince George, and Lethbridge. The Red Devils actually travel further than any other B.C. high school team.
With all this competition, what was lacking? Some say it was spirit, some say coordination between players, and others say it was talent, but in my opinion it was a bit of all three. To be a winning team you must be talented in all three fields. The Devils have lacked something every year. With a bit of luck, which every team needs, this team could be one of the best again next year, if not the best.
The team consists of:

Red Angels
The Red Angels had a very successful year of basketball placing third in league standings and third in zone playoffs. This proves that the Angels are still going strong.
They had the opportunity to travel to many different places during the season and, under the supervision of the coach, Miss Richardson, they represented KSS more than adequately.

Curling Club

The curling club got off to a great start around the middle of November. The fun really began after Christmas when the Bonspeils got underway. Our Bonspeil took place on February 13 and 14 with teams entered from as far away as Quesnel. The Quesnel team took home the trophy for first in the "A" event but the Stewart Malcolm rink of Kamloops managed to win the "B" event. In March four Kamloops teams travelled to Ashcroft. They all had a great weekend and were quite successful. The John Rogers team came home with the first in the "A" event while Ron McGuire took second in "B".
All in all it was a fairly successful year and we all had a lot of fun.
Canadian Young Nationals
Remember the stir that the Canadian Young Nationals caused at the beginning of the year? It was election time and the club invited all the candidates to speak on their policies. When Mr. Diefenbaker hit town they turned out en masse to meet him. The members received first hand information on how elections are run by working on the various campaigns. And then there were the lucky six who went down to Vancouver for a personal meeting with the Prime Minister. Thanks for livening it up, kids!

Fine Arts Council
1965 - 66 was a really good year for the fine arts council – as far as action goes. Remember all the new ideas in the FAC this year – the skit show? the Windfall? the Hootenanny? the Literary magazine? The FAC really tried to push the creative writing side of the arts with the magazine and pulicity for literary contests.

Red Devils
During the football season of 1965, the Red Devils placed third, winning four, losing four. They also played an exhibition game against Stevenson High of Vancouver and won it with a score of 13 – 7. This exhibition game was the Devils’ first win of the season after losing to Vernon Panthers, 27 - 13 and Kelowna Cubs, 33 – 18. After this win the Devils picked up in spirit and won their next two games against Penticton Golden Hawks and Kelowna's Immaculata Dons They then travelled to Vernon and lost a heart-breaking game with a score of 25 - 19 The following weekend in Kamloops they were trampled into the ground with an insulting score of 33 – 0. These last two losses ended the Devils' hopes of obtaining a play-off berth. The Devils came on strong in their last two games against Penticton Golden Hawks and Kelowna Immaculata Dons with a 13 - 0 and a 30 - 0 score respectively.
Football Queen Contest
The second annual football queen contest was indeed a success! For three weeks six girls worked hard to try to win the title of Miss Football Queen. The contest was based on who could sell the most tickets to the game. Contestants included Sandra Swaine representing the Y-Teens, Sandra Taylor, representing the ACC of Kamloops, Rita Gardener, representing the AGC in Nor-Kam, Marylyn Barnes, for the Glee Club, Jane Cameron, for Students’ Council1 and finally the mysterious Miss “X” representing the Grade 13's. Miss “X” turned out to be Joe Mazotta.
Rita Gardener of North Kamloops, placed first in the contest. She received prizes donated by the Kamloops merchants totaling over $200.00. Ron McGuire, the captain of the football team had the privilege of crowning Rita. Runner up was Sandra Swaine of Y-Teens and there was also Jane Cameron of Students’ Council.
Future Nurses

The hi-light of the year for the Future Nurses was the tour of the Royal Inland Hospital, the new wing and the Residency. But this wasn't their only activity. During the rest of the year, they heard speakers on just about every branch of the nursing profession. To bolster their firsthand, practical knowlede of nursing they all did volunteer work for the Public Health Baby clinic, Remember the Bag Drive? That was sponsored by the Future Nurses to aid the Public Health Nurses with their polio vaccine program.
Good luck with your careers!

Two of them, Linda McKim and Carol Kemp, went down to UBC for a fascinating conference on Teaching, Remember the Book Bin? All your old books went to the hospital via the Future Teachers.
Happy chalk-pushing.

Our Glee Club renewed honours this year as the best choir in the Kamloops region and in the Okanagan. Congratulations! As a reward for their excellence they went to Calgary to sing in the Golden Jubilee Auditorium. Throughout the year they managed to keep very well with concerts and pie sales. The boys got new red blazers as uniforms.
They sounded great.

We all owe thanks to the library club for all the work its done for us this year. Every day they have kept the filing up to date and on work bees they fixed up the old books and covered the new ones, Life wasn't all work and no play though for they went out to dinner three times, saw one show and went to a dance,
They deserved it and thank you.

Message From The Social Convenor
It once was commonly believed thatKamloops Secondary School had a great lack in school spirit. The notion has, in just seven months been proven false,
School-sponsored events, including hootenannies, cakewaiks, a slave auction and indoor trackmeet met with keen enthusiasm; the Sadie Hawkins Dance even boasted a near-record attendance. Football games literally swarmed with kids and the long-lost cheerleaders turned out in double force. Support for the Devils was high - even feverish at times (especially during the B.C. playoffs in basketball),
Although havoc seemed sometimes to have taken over during the planning stages, the Christmas Prom and the Graduation Dance were wonderful highlights in the season, And after the sweat and tears, the exhaustive planning and cooperation of many, our biggest venture, the Carnival, turned out a real success,
In the big and the small from the start to the end, the word has been "get-up-and-go" Many have worked hard giving unceasingly of their time and talents to make the social year truly worthwhile.
Best thanks to my fellow students for all their support and best of luck to the Social Convenor next year, Sincerely, Brenda Ehlers

A great deal of credit goes to Mr. Kalyx and all the boys who worked so hard to make this such a successful season.

The Students' Council
That Student's Council of ours has certainly been busy this year. Along with all the tradional projects like the Christmas Prom, the grad ceremonies, the Slave Auction and so on, they've been keeping themselves occupied with many a new idea. Each Monday, the reps have had to stand up and give a quick description of Council doings. For Carnival, which they co-sponsored with the ACC, they crated a horrible House of Horrors. Remember the other new ideas – the bulletin board and those life-savers, the book and pen machines?
Congratulations, Council for a wonderful year.

They've had projects to spare this year with the Retarded Children's Home, Tranquille School, Christmas Hampers and of course the Thursday noon donut sales, Their meetings have been busy too with speakers and discussions, slides and singsongs. In the party line, they've gone swimming in February, eaten all kinds of international dishes at their gourmet dinner in May and half drowned next year's members at a swimming prepper party.
