Life At SHHS. |

With Mercedes

In this new item added to this
paper I hope I can give to the
public a view of the life at our
well known Stanley Humphries;
High School. First, of all,.I will
try to outline the extracurricutar |
activities and then escape to the
literary angle.

Friday night saw a Inter-

selected to publicize and to sup-
port the by-law drawn up for an
addition to the school, This ad-
dition is very badly needed as
the children entering high school
each year are increasing very
rapidly. This committee — inci-
dentally, I am one of them —
,Plans mass assemblies, postcr
to talk at

City gam

the Trail High School Reps and |
the Castlegar teams, The girls!
played first and the Castlegar
team put up a good fight but lost
to the Trail team with a score of
87-22, High scorers for Trail’
were I.- Bernava and N. Lyons‘
with 10 points each, For the Cas-
tlegar squad it was O. Samson-
off and J. Hett with 5 points
each.

The boys’ game ‘proved faster
and more exciting. The Trail
team went ahead to lead 16-0 at
half-time and ended with high
score of 46-33, Trail’s top man
was Russell with 15 points and
Horcoff. took honors for Castle-
gar with 8 points,

Trail’s cheering section was
well supported with a small
Pipe Band made up of students
from the school. At half-time
they marched {on{ the floor to
entertain everyone with various
marches, Personally, I don’t
know how anyone can have that
much wind to blow on. one of
those Scottish horns,

To. get down to business, a

will be a success as it will add
to the school extra Industrial
Arts facilities, fully equipped
, Physics and Chemistry Labs, ex-
tra Commerce rooms, an all-pur-
pose room and a cafeteria.

Just think warm lunches for a
change!

As far as the House system
goes, House 4 is way ahead in
points, They pile up these points
by noon hour sports activities.
But there is a disadvantage too
as you can lose points by acting
up in assemblies and not listen-
ing to the acting Prefect.

about ‘everything except for re-
port cards which we received
last week. Christmas exams will
