The students and teachers were given a best orientation, then the students wrote the SCAT or school and college a b i l i t y t e s t . This best showed the s k i l l s i n a percent­age of Sciences and reading, w r i t i n g and understanding. Individual and t o a t l scores were determined. An assessment of a b i l i t y was sJKmm i n a caapar±aoa to the score shown by college entrants. The scores were grouped i n a brscket with the maximum and T ^ T T i — Standing. These bests

The School Board then hosted the students and teacher at a Banquet held i n the Elks H a l l . Then another session was held f o r Students and Parents i n the Mclsaac School Auditorium.

The Student Council pro­vided the v i s i t i n g students with t i c k e t s to the Co-ed dance, to conclude the event­f u l day. The v i s i t i n g pro­fessors attended a reception.

On Saturday, February 6, the students returned to the school and were given t h e i r best r e s u l t s . Interviews with,the various professors followed. Students came away feeli n g more cer t a i n of t h e i r future prospects.

The Seminar t h i s year was a success and I sincerely hope i t w i l l be as successful f o r as many students next year.

DEAR EDITOR: There has been much d i s ­

cussion on the lack of school s p i r i t here at Hapnot. Even with a l l t h i s t a l k , not much has been done to s a t i s f y a l l of us. Someone has taken the l i b e r t y of writing to someone,, who attended Hapnot Collegiate l a s t year, but i s now attending a school i n Brandon. This i s what was received from Brandon,

"As f a r as I can see, i t takes keen competition, both academically, as w e l l as a t h e l i t i c a l l y . V/e have our school divided up into houses. IVbite f o r A, B, G, D, etc. ?he l e t t e r s stand f o r a person's l a s t name. We also have Red, Blue, and Gold houses. In these houses we have a boy and

- - - — - -o

summer vje had soccer f o r boys' competition and f i e l d hockey for g i r l s ' . Now we have v o l l e y b a l l f o r both g i r l s and boys. Then we have in d i v i d u a l house p a r t i e s , such as Reds going r o l l e r skating or ice skating."

"The four houses gou to­gether on the f i r s t of Dec-amber f o r a party and dance. These dances are not l i k e the regular school dancesj they're not so formal. Lot's of fun."

"Right now we are having inter-room competition for s e l l i n g 'My Fa i r Lady' t i c k e t s . Each room has a chart on the b u l l e t i n board to mark the progress. The leading class

K i l l win a prize i n February on opening night of the musical."

"The teachers take a much more active viewpoint i n sports For example: a teacher w i l l challenge a member of the track club to IC laps or some­thing l i k e that. 'We have a l l sorts of wierd contests among ourselves. Posters i n con­venient places, advertising special events, such as a track meet at Rivers, etc. i s good for boosting school s p i r i t . "

"There i s freouent betting i n our room, especially at exams, to see who w i l l get the best marks. This adds to friendliness among students and other things."

Now, i f other schools can find a l l kinds of things to do to boost school s p i r i t so can we, as a school. Let's give i t a try anyway.

Yours t r j i l y ,

J.D.

Harold Roncin was the winner of the '^I^QS^ Magazine test on current a f f a i r s . He answered onehundred short questions, and received 11%, For his achievment he was awarded a " C e r t i f i c a t e of t o n f i ^ " « ^ " r "°"orable ,mention went to Rick Whitely and James McDermit.

The b lack Olds burned around a sweeping bend, t i r e s screaming, and smoked up the s t r a i gh t desert highway, i t s souped-up V-8 taking i t to 12$ with consumate ease. Be ­hind the wheel, Vince A lber ts wore h is usua l look of coo l composure as he watched the headl ights s t r i p the concrete of i t s ebony c loak , turn ing the greyness i n t o the white of bleached bones before the darkness closed i n again be ­h i n d . Across the seat from him, Mel Rivers cursed s o f t l y as he f i d d l e d with the r a d i o , the dash l i g h t s turning h is bearded face i n to a Satanic mask. Vince grinned at h is e f f o r t s .

"vvhy don ' t you give up, Mel? So the r a d i o ' s gone hay-wlre. Y o u can l i v e without i t . "

" Th i s t^odnr's -one hao-vire a l l r i g h t , V ince . But i u s ' not the way y o u mean. There 's nothinr u r e a wrth the r a d i o . "

"Yeah? Take a look at where that needle i s s i t t i n g . "

"Around twelve-hundred. So?"

"So t h a t ' s WOAI. In San Antonio . F i f t y thousand watts , c lear channel - no othei s ta t ibns on the same frequency. You can p i c k 'em up a l l over the s t a t e .

"And you ' r e th ink ing about tha t o l d coot i n the d ine r that handed you a wilgl l i n e about t h i s highxvay being hexed, and your ima d n a t i o n i s dreaming up a l l sorts o f h o r r i b l e ^a tes . i l e l ax . V/e ' l l

,be i n B i g Spring i n a couple of hours, safe and sound."

Mel looked doubt fu l , but h i s buddy took no n o t i c e . The two of them had reamed the country fo r yea r s , and they knew each other p r e t t y w e l l by new. They made an add p a i r -Vince the hard-headed, p r ag ­matic opt imis t , , sho r t , s tocky , and a t h l e t i c , with, a minimum of imagination^ Mel the pe s s ­i m i s t i c dreamer, t a l l ' and gaunt, i n t e l l i c t u a l and fond of morbid f i c t i o n . They had as t h e i r only common bond an i n s a t i a b l e r e s t l e s snes s , a compulsion to keep on the move.

The t a l e t o l d by the o l d man i n the K e r r v i l l e d iner had obvious ly s t i r r e d Me l ' s imaginat ion as they sat over empty coffee cups.

"go ing up to B i g Spr ing , d i d you say?" inqu i r e d the p a t r i a r c h . "Be t t e r not t r y i t t i l l a o m i n r .

That ' s what i t i s , boys . Hexed."

Mel had been dubious about going a f t e r t h a t , but Vince had laughed i t o f f and i n ­s i s t e d on goinr; on . So here they were. Vince glanced over and saw M e l ' s l i p s moving word less ly .

" I f you ' r e p r ay ing , boy, fo rget i t . You and I both know we've been a p a i r i n ­veterate s i nne r s , fond of the demon run and rigged poker games. The Good Lord a i n ' t gonna step i n fo r us now i f we're on a one-way road to e t e rna l torment."

Mel grinned weakly, "Guesj you ' r e r i g h t , V i n c e , I f L u c i f e r ' s wa i t ing f o r i i s , w e ' l l j u s t have to keep the appointment."

The car sped through the n ight , and Me l , exhausted from d r i v i n g a l l day, f e l l i n ­to an uneasy slumber, li/hen

he awoke, he suddenly had an uneasy f e e l i n g something was wrong, Vince had l o s t h i s usua l cheery express ion , and h i s face was unreadable, 'Mel spoke up, awarq that h i s vo i se was s t r a i n e d ,

"About three hours . " Mel f e l t h imse l f growing

But Vince never slowed down i f he d i d n ' t have t o , and the speedometer needle was s t i l l glued on 120. He began to not i ce other th ing s .

RICK SKVSNSON, PRESIDENT OF THE PEP CLDB Rick, the genial master of ceremonies for the school

dances stands viewing the scene of his club's successful or-ganization of the December dance. The next SCHOOL dance w i l l be held Thursday, Harch 18, let's hope that the students show their appreciation of these dances by keeping their own student cards and not trying to induce outsiders to enter the dance. There are enough students i n Hapnot to have a succes­sful dance without the appearance of outsiders so why not pro prove i t at the oncoming dance.

Hockey—Midgets

Steel Gas continues to run away with the midget loop with lU wins and 1 loss i n 15 games. This i s a very impressive record indeed but with the loss of their star. Bob Clarke, who went ut> to The Flyers, this record could take a dismal drop. Clarke presently leads the Midget scoring derby even thrugh he has missed the last two games as he graduated to the Juv­eniles, The rest of the teams, namely Elks, RCAF, Kinsmen, and lOOF seem to be having a private contest for second place.

S T R A M G E T H A T L O U S H O U L D A S K "

Plave you ever noticed some of the silly questions pe­ople ask? Sometimes, you may be asked a question that seems to have, or does have a perfectly obvious answer. Just as Often, you probably ask such a question yoxur-self.

For instance, let's assume you've been out some night and you were supposed to be home by midnight. So you came in at avout two o'clock, and there's Dad waiting for you. You walk in the door and he picks up a clock, ho Ids it six inches in front of your faceso you can get a good:look at i t , then asks, "Do you know what time it is?"

Coning home can bring on o-thgr such questions, too. Like the old classic, "Are you home already?" Try saying no sometime. It mi­ght be interesting to see what happens.

Gifts are a prime target f-or a silly -question. Give someone a beautifully gift-wrapped package with their name clearly lettered on it and you're s t i l l likely to hear,"For me?" Again, a negative answer could have interesting results.

Has anybody ever watched you slip on a patch of ice and alm.ost break your neck, then asked, "V/hat happened" Or have you ever driven up to the gas pumps and had the attendant come out and ask what you wanted? You know, then, just how senseless so me questions can be.

There's another variety of ^silly question that stands by itself. The weather query. You know the kind of thing. You're freezing in fifty-below weather and some kook says. "Cold enou­

gh for you?" Or you come into the house soaked to the bones, to be greeted w ith, "Is it raining?"

And how about, "Is that you"when you answer the phone? Or "Are you busy?" when you're up to your elbo ws in dishwater? Or "Do you really like that stuff? when you're opening your third consecutive bag. of potato chips? And one more: Do you realize how mubh time you'­ve wasted reading this tr­ash?

The f i r s t annual Christmas B a s k e t b a l l Tournament turned out to be a huge success. I t jWas e x c e p t i o n a l l y s u c c e s s f u l f o r both of Hapnot's teams, the Kopper Kweens and Kopner Kings. The Kopper King cap­t a i n , Ralph Brown, accepted the Preston-Johnson -Trophy i n b e h a l f of the team and coach, Don Stone. V i v i a n e L a n g l o i s , i n place of Captain Brenda Cunningham, accepted the "Ivan liamilton" Trophy f o r the Kweens and coach Hank Marcuk. Both trophys may be seen i n the Hapnot Librarm-.

The Kopper Kweens played two games, i n order t o win t h e i r d i v i s i o n t i t l e . In t h e i r f i r s t game, Sf lR came out second best at the end of a 5 2 - 6 s c o r e . In the f i n a l s the V^eens had. l i t t l e t r o uble i n handling Thompson, a Ul -17 d e f e a t . S h e i l a M i t c h e l l lead the Kweens i n the second game w i t h 21 p o i n t s . In the f i r s t game Brenda Cunningham s t a r r e d w i t h 18 p o i n t s .

In the boys d i - v i s i o n the Kopper Kings l i f t l i t t l e doubt i n anyone's mind who might wonder who were the b e s t . The Kings won 3 s t r a i g h t games and have y e t t o loose to any­one t j i i s y e a r , or s i n c e another year i a i n the making,, they have yet to loose t h i s season. I n the f i r s t game a g a i n s t Snoxij' l a k e , the kings trounded them 7 2 - 1 2 . Ralph Brown l e d the Kings w i t h 2 0 as d i d B i l l McDonald w i t h , 2 0 , and Bob Ford chipped i n 16 p o i n t s f o r the v i c t o r s . The second game was played a g a i n s t the l y n n Lake Team who took a 36 - Ih

beating. Ralph Br.own connedted fo r 10 points while B i l l McDon­ald netted 12. Bob F^rd-, centre of t h i s high scoring l i n e , added 8 points. In the t h i r d and f i n a l game against ,SMR Crusaders the Kopper Kings

The next stop f o r the Kings and Kwe,ens w i l l be the Manitoba P r o v i n c i a l Playoffs i n March. I t i s hoped that the Kings and Kweens w i l l bring more honors to Hapnot i n the Sprin.

This scribe must also commend the s p i r i l u shown by Hapnot students during the tournament. During the f i n a l game, which x as broadcast over C.F.A.R. by Carl. Edmunds, Hapnot students out-numbered JAR students and the team i s rery pleased to have such sup­port. Let us hope t h i s show

/of school s p i r i t w i l l continue.

Senior Boys After about hal f of the Se­

nior Boy's Basketball season i s complete, the Swindlers s t i l l r e t a i n f i r s t place. They have 26 points, a s i x pt. lead over second place Crusad­ers. The black ^ gold machine consisting of Bob Ford, capt­ain, P h i l Jury, assistant ca­ptain, Doug Cairns, A l Brown, Jack Kirkbride, Gary Abar, and B i l l Putko have won 13 games and l o s t only 3. Those losses being twice to the Crusaders and once to the Broncs. This team i s lead offensively by Bob Ford who has 205.^points to lead the high scorers and D-

oxig Cairns, 8'th i n the scor­ing race with 72 points and also Al Brown, 9'th i n the sc­oring race with 6 ? points. But not only offense has halped this team, without defensive stars , P h i l Jury and Jack Ki-rkbride, the Swindlers would be i n trouble.

The greatly in^jroyed Crusa­ders hold down the 2nd spot with 20 points. They are lead by scorers Jim Hewitt with 12h points and Blake Semeoe with 86. Much cr e d i t must be given to t h e i r coach, Don Reed, f o r t h e i r vast improvement. Anoth­er big factor i s that t h e i r school has great s p i r i t and backs up t h e i r team.

Tied f o r t h i r d place are the Broncs and 0'Haras. The Bron« cs are having troubles of l a ­te l o s i n g 6 straight games. Their team consisting of Cap­t a i n Jim Coulthard, assistant captain Dave Hanna, Eric Mc-Cormick, Del "^ard, Dave Petz, Wayne Muir, and Barry "Moose'' Dickens are the only other Hapnot team to beat the Cru-sadeio, (except that i s f o r t •Uie great Kopper Kings). Mc-Cormick with 133 points and jiffl Coulthard with 9h points and guard Dave Hanna with 67 points have chipped i n most of the Bronc's points. The 0'Haras l e d by captain

.-talph Brown and assistant ca­ptain B i l l McDonald have corns on strong as of l a t e winning two of t h e i r l a s t three games. The Red & White team with ot­her players Alex Lekopoy, Frank Snorro, Erhart Dzuibak, Dave Samolesky, may become real contenders i n the l a t e r part of the schedule. Ralph and B i l l lead them offensiv e l y with the fomer having lh6 points and the l a t t e r 182 p t s .

It has been confimed by an act of the Manitoba lisgisl-ature that "Girls are nice** The resolution passed, however not the 56 regular MLA's, but the 110 members of the Tuxis Hid Older Boy's Parliament, fhe sentence "Girls are nice" was used as a reason for actio-n proposed in the preamble of a b i l l introduced by another a member and me. By process of ajBiendaent this sentence found itself the only clause of the body. The b i l l as amended pas­sed.

The method of teaching here in Hapnot is inadequate aiKi ineffecient. This i s main­ly a fault of the school buil­ding which is improperly cons­tructed for a better method of teaching, I feel that Hapnot's replacement should adopt the system of teaching used in Da­kota Collegiate, ¥irmipeg. St­udents attend lectures where t the subject is taught. A l l of the students taking a subject would go to a single room for films, etc. Aftera lecture the etudents would meet with a tea Cher in groups of 10 to 20 where the subject would be le­arned by discussion, short exercises md individual coac­hing. As a result of this ttpe of teaching, these students generelly have higher marks, less homework, less of a so-called discipline problem, and school l i f e was more enjoyable.

Vly Congrats to a l l the victors of the bonspiels held since last issue. This include Tom Longmore^the Hapnot bonsp-i e l winners, Dave McAcre , HBMScS, Bryan Bulow, Collegiaite , Terrt Braxiner , Dembinsky's and Fred Berry Ross's and the

MSSAA reps Doug Simpson who did rather nicely in the Pas and Ellen lisdieu and the rinks of these noteworthy skips.

The beanies are a flop. They have failed to iJ3:?>rove school Spirit, How can a pers­on show his school spirit when there is no sp i r i t . The beanies wculd have solved the problem i f our school spirit was only aiffering a minor depression. Our school spirit, however i s like our school, a tired, v i r ­tually dead wreck,. If our «Jho( ol spirit is going to last out the last few years of our scho ol, we must inject a new vita­l i t y into i t . The beanies coul d not do this because they we­re only pieces of doth, A school mascot might do the trick, but I would prefer a "Miss School Spirit" to be chosen from a number of girls who could compete for the ho­nor duringschool spirit week promised us by our gent stick, JQss School Spirit would be chosen on the basis of Intell­igence program for improving school spirit and most defin-ately, BEAUTY. For the last reason I would suggest that the schoolspirit week be held only after i t is warm enough to wear bathing suits HI What I have proposed would certainl ly create intrest in the scho­ol, but would i t generate true school spirit? This I do not know. However I do know that

drastic action is needed and I believe that I have the solut­ion.

Hapnot is at last to be replaced (HOORAY) by a build­ing at one of the following locations:

Mslsaac school grounds this spot Queen's Park and ny pick of spots, Ross

Lake, I propose that enough of Ross Lake be f i l l e d in so that there would be a large sports field as well as the school. When the ^hool isto be c o i ^ l -eted is not known but some fac­tors idiich w i l l possibly influ­ence the date of completion are that no grade ten will peas next year, without Phys, Ed, and the '67 Centennial,

Hope then that the marics in the "U" column were scarce,

THE GOLD AND PURPLE POTREZBIE

The gold and purple potrezbie Gives me one screaming heebie

jeebie. Shocking pink his gongles are. Black his leather scimitar. He wears a coat with seven

sleeves. His trousers end above his

kneeves* I've watched him dine with

great delight On toasted frlmbels every

ni«fat. And quaff his potent axolotle D i r e c t l y from i t s brown glass

b o t t l e . He f i n i s h e s his grim repast With avocados,gobbled f a s t . Then wanders wide o'er h i l l and

dale Beneath the moon so cold and

pale. And what he looks f o r on these

ranibles? For what he looks f o r while he

shambles? I do not know or wish to f i n d , Vhat passion lurks within his

mind. For I have heard h i s f r u s t r a ­

ted moan. His ghastly cry and awful

groan Each time he finds not what he

seeks; I t makes my blood run cold f o r

W@6lcS For who knows what he hoj»s to

He could have you or I i n mind,. And who can say what he w i l l

do I f he should capture me or ypu ^ t do not woriy,do not f r e t , (He's not found what he l o o k i

f o r yet) Ind bolt your doors,at night-. . , T a l l creepy. Against the dreaded potrezebie,

ODE TO A BEANIE

I bought me a beanie to bols t e r school s p i r i t

Just to f i n d out that I could not wear i t

And though i t ' s red and black and small

I t serves no dog gone use at a l l ,

I'd never wear i t on the street

For sooth i t doesn't look so neat

I f people saw i t they'd stop aiKi stare

So I know a beanie I ' l l ne­ver wear.

Such i s the t a l e of my high school hat

Sold to me by some scheming r a t .

The teacher i s ray shepherd I s h a l l not skip.

He maketh me to do long essays. He leadth me unto the study room.

He removeth my gun. He leadth me unto the paths of learnedness f o r his salary's sake. Yea, though I struggle throu­gh the meanings of the verbs of French, I w i l l skip no classes, f o r he i s watching me. He prepareth a test before me, i n the presence of mine confederates He bothereth my head with figures.

My pen runneth over. Surely the presence of the teachers,

W i l l follow me a l l the days of my l i f e , •'nd I w i l l dwell i n the school forever
