Where have -all the months

I wish Cathy,D'Archangelo the

I think that now is a good
time to give.some credit where
it's due0 Every month since
we've started our first edition,
five girls have been coming in at noon-hours and after school
to do all the typing and stencilling for the paper. This Is
one of those jobs that receives
very little recognition and often
all they get is static when there
is an occasional error. These
girls include: Mary Booth, Christine Shaw, Marissa Mele, Sharon
Correale and Ann Davidson, ;/e'd
like to take this opportunity to

say a special thank you to

them for the great" typing work
that they have done .
Good luck with all your
exams and I -hope, that you have
a real swinging holiday. I
promise to keep my fingers
crossed and say a prayer for
you, if you will do the same
thing ' for me 1 1 !
Have you noticed how Revelstoke 'seems to be winning a
lot 'Of recognition lately?
Much mention doesn't have to be
made of the Boy's Basketball
team who h^v again shown the
Valley players that the "bushbums" know how to play ball.
The ski team took honours left
and right all winter long, and
only the Vernon team brought
our Volleyball players down to
defeat. Before this, Revelstoke had won the tournament
in Salmon Arm. Our bowling
teams won the honour of representing the Okanagan in Vancouver this weekend and we wish
them lucfej Last, but not
least, is the newspaper

I figure that's pretty good,
But then, maybe I'm prejudiced.

This letter was sent in appreciation of their efforts.,

CARE'S food preservation program
in Greece in the summer of 1964
was sponsored by the Canadian
Schools* The money received
was spent on glass preserving ^
jars and under the supervision
of Naria Gialleli, a home economist, a program was set up on
several of the Greek Islands.

Maria has set up youth clubs

an these island and these girls
are instructed in the basic
techniques of sewing, dressmaking , nutriti on, gardening,
personal hygiene, and, of
course, food preservation.
Preserving jars <are especially important to her "because
now these rural communities can
enjoy a "better winter diet.
In winter,1 instead of the usual
bread and beans, they now have
fruit and vegetables which will
improve the general health of
the community.
This entire project has been
made possible "by the support
of the Canadian Schools,

Living on a floating raft? Sounds rather far fetchedas if it
had come out of a story book of Mark Twain*s5 but this is a general
trend in thinking dmoungst todays geologists. This theory of the
or.i.gin of the continents is proposed by a scientist, Wegene.
In his theoretical structure of the origin of the continents, he
proposed that the earth was in a mass, which he calls Pangea, Greek
for "all earth71 which was situated in the present day southern. .
hemisphere* The south pole would be situated in the land mass at
20S,' 20E and the north pole would be in open water 20N and 16QE
This arrangement would explain why traces of Carboniferous glaciation--evidence of striated and polished ro cks, are found in
southern Africa, Mad^gasca, India, Australia and Patagonia,, ^he coal
producing Carboniferous forests would coincide with the present day
coal fields (equator}*
Divided at the beginning of the Mesozic Period, Pangea began to
move under the influence of convection currents inside the earth's
centrifugal force and tidal pulls, floating on a hypothetical subcrustal zone of weak and heavy roek* The principle thrust was towards the equator with a displacement from east to west* The con-L:
tinental rafts were pushed over each other forming such mountains
as the Himalayan and Alp chains
There are a number of easy demonstrations to show that this theory
is a plausible and logical one0 If a map of America is cut out, it
will fit fairly neatly into the European-African block.. The projecting bulge of Brazil into the Gulf of Guinea, the Antilles into
the Mediterrean and Labrador and Greenland beside Scandinavia.. If
you do this you will see that the coasts are roughly similar.
Also, the ancient mountain chains of Norway, Scotland and Canada
have similar age, structure and shape. The Armorlean mountains in
Europe and the Appalachians of America and the Gneussic Plateaux of
Africa and .Brazil are all similar. Besides these proofss various
mineral deposits have convincing similarity.
Although, these plus other convincing discoveries have laid a good
basis for this theory, there are several things wrong., First, traces
of the Cambrian ice age would require the continental masses to have
separated, come together, and separated again:,' very unlikely.
Secondly, today the poles hardly deviate from there ccuse^ yet the
theory would require that they undergo a very drastic change,,
All in all,- despite the setbacks, the theory seems to be gaining
popularity and modern precise measurements have established the fact
that some continental areas such as Africa are separating from Arabia
at the rate of 2 centimeters per yecir0 From this it can be seen that
there is an increasing possiblity that we live on a giant continental
raft,

Racial discriminat^^n'/ds and always has been one of" the most degrading elements In huii.ah nature. Even before Christ persons were
bought and sold lilte',.c"mttle at an auction0 They were treated little
better than animals'.
As a result of the practice years ago of keeping slaves, the United
Spates is now in. grave trouble Her Negroes are demanding civil rights
as'" citizens of the democracy and they will get taose rights. They
have organized into a highly efficient group under able leaders and
are fighting every inch of the way. The resultsin some States
lawlessness "and terror-in most, total confusion.
You can sit back smugly and say that all this is :no concern of yours;
The whole mess is happening in the United States. That's where you're
wrong. Discrimination doesn't confine itself to countries, it doesn't
stay on one side of a border, it is contagious and very deadly. Canada
herself is headed for a crisis,,
Canada's problem comes in the form of mistreatment of the Indian
and the. discrimination against -him. Before we go any further let's
look at a few facts. The whole problem started when white man tried
to drive the' Indian off his land and threatened to rob him of his staff
of life, the buffalo. The Indian, of course, retaliated but was beaten into subjection. A s 1 a beaten nation and former dread enemy feared
by most peoples he was hated and snubbed. This hatred is still present today no matter how much we try to hide it- It has become a dark
stain in the history of our great country.
The Indian, a longtime silent sufferer has at last come to the^inevitable decision.- He has seen.the things denied him by the great mass
of people and .has -set out_ to get these things for himself- The movement is" only in small groups now'but it" 'will, .'grow larger. In the not
very distant future the Indian may be forced "to^ 'Organize, like the
Negroes of the United States, in order to gain public recognition.
Now is; the time to do., some serious thinking. What has the Indian
done to earn the contempt we so readily give him? He is a human being
and like any other human being was fighting to- keef-from losing a way
of life so dear to his people. >ould you have-not done the same thing?
You must decide for yourself whether the'Indian is justified in his
demands. Your conscience will'tell you if you have kept an open mind
while reading this article. As far as I can see there are no arguments against the Indian movement to eliminate discrimination save
those that white man himself has imposed on hima Such things as poverty and the' idea that Indians are naturally a filthy race of people
should be wiped out.
You can eliminate the "prejudice in your owsfumind .but can do little
else. The rest is up to the government of 'our, c'.Ountry, It must provide better education facilities on the reservations and better living
conditions." It must be prepared to eliminate, the idea'that Indians,
because of the colour of their skins, are naturally inferior.--". And
it must see that the Indian has a place in our society, thus putting
him on^. an equal footing with all other Canadians.
If this is done I am sure that Canada's civil right movement will
be completed with no bldodsn'ed' or large demonstrations of feeling as
in the current trouble spot, the. United States.'

REVELSTOKE to YAKIMA
'At.the beginning of March, 8
pupils were selected from grade 11
to be sent to Yakima for one week
as exchange students. These fortunate pupils were: Karen Bruce,
Brian Johnson, Lynea Sjodin, Bruce
Haggerstone, Susan Tillen, Chester
Wozniak, Sharon MacLean, and David
Jones. Seven of these attended
DWIGHT EISENHOWER HIGH SCHOOL, but
Chester attended NACHES CATHOLIC
SCHOOL. Both schools were similar
in that they had vendors in the
halls from which could be obtained
gum, apples, coke, and various types of candies. The pupils were
allowed 'to chew the guru in class
provided they kept the noise down.
The subjects taught in the schools
were the same as the ones in Revelstoke but were presented to the
students, in a different manner and
the same schedule was repeated
each day. Seven of the pupils did
no assigned homework, but. the remaining eighth managed to squeeze
his usual bit of studying in the
library.
In Brucefs opinion, "the school
was not strict and the classes less
formal", but nevertheless, he prefers Revelstoke. Brian and Bruce
spent most of their* time skiing,
swimming, and playing tennis, and
as a result both returned home
with deep tanned faces. David,.
Bruce, and Brian all were taken on
a guided tour of a sheep farm,
attended a debate club, and all
eight were guests at the Rotary
Luncheon.
The four girls were taken on a
tour of the x-ray department in
one of Yakima's hospitals, and were given free swimming passes at
the Y.M.C.A. Lynea prefers the
teachers in Revelstoke, but Karen
has an open opinionshe thinks
teachers are the same everywhere.

S T U D E N T S
Susan prefers Revelstoke to Yakima
as the people here are much more
friendly. As a result of spending
much of her time skiing, Sharon
ended up with a very sun-burned
face6 All four girls went shopping
and this they enjoyed immensely as
there was a wider choice.
As Chester was billeted in a more rural area and had to take the
bus to and from school each day he
didn't have a chance to participate
in many outside activities. He 'did
however, attend the Rotary Luncheon
with the others. He, like the others, prefers to live in Revelstoke
but would rather attend school in
Yakima,
All thoroughly enjoyed thdir
trip to Yakima and will remember
the eventful week for the remainder
of their lives.

BOYS1 SPORTS
R. S. S. Basketball Tournament Huge Success
Friday and Saturday March j26th - 27tii were busy days in Revelstoke's new gym; the scene of a;..wrestling "clinic and the city's
first basketball tournament. Friday' s '.activities -'started off in
school last period with a pep rally, also Revels.tok-e's first. The
colourful posters really brightened things up. (Thank you artists).
The practice cheers got the school in spirit. (Fart of it anyway).
That night, school spirit shone and vibrated through the four
hundred spectators. Kelowna Owls were passed by Immaculata in a
tremendous come-back on the Dons' partthe opening game of the gyia;
and the Mountaineers defeated Kamloops St. Anne's. Brian scored a
striking 28 points. A sock-hop followed the last game to complete
the evening.
On Saturday, a successful to wrestling tournament was held,
with, the right number of boys for mats. Mr. Ralph Casperson, three,
times Canadian champion, did an excellent instruction job. A very '
much enjoyed tournament finished the clinic. After supper the. Mountainettes played an exhibition game-see Girls' Sports. Next was
the consolation gone, with St. Anne's victorious over the Owls. In
the final game of the tournament, Revelstoke scored its second victory, over Immaculata, resisting terrific last quarter pressure from
the Kelowna boys.
' .The most valuable player of the tournament was Saber Bruno Tom-asini. Kelowna Owl player Bill Begg rec ' eived ' the \"most sportsmanlike player" award, and a rather unusual award, giveri for the most
fouls, "Francis DeFoulle", was taken by another' -Owl. ''
All1 players thoroughly enjoyed themselves and hope to return
again. Thanks to all those who., took billets, -and those who supported
their and other teams in the games. Orchids to Mr. May who took a
great deal of time to prepare this successful tournament,
Hevelstoke attended a similar tournament.in Kelowna several
weeks ago. Immaculata, host team, took most of the honours. The
Mountaineers played without three first stringers, but managed to
win the consolation prize, Brian Waeeler received the "Most sportsman like player" award, a very prized trophy.
Volleyball
Revelstoke attends B. C 0 Championship
The boys volleyball team travelled down to Salmon Arm. focr' the
North Okanagari Tournament on the nineteenth of March. Vernon was.'"
absent since this tournament corresponded to the Okariagan's, and Vernon was representing the North down there. Teams which did'attend

..SPRING

She is beautiful!. -Like a f,ine

lady she is completely surrounded
in an aura of beauty, mystery and
enchantment. Like a woman she is
oompletely unpredictable, She
might be stormy and wild or gay
and carefree. She may seem to be
caressing the earth with all her
being* or she may be playing the
part of the vengeful monster, terrifying all who cross her path.
Yet always, even in her most angry
moments, she is like a mother, sweet...and loving but ready to chastise the earth for its every false
move and disobedience. Yes, she
is all these things and more. The
beautiful song birds and .the brilliant flowers are her handiwork.
She is the mother of life, the
creator of beauty and it is she
alone who makes life bearable for
so many. Who is this mysterious .
lady? She is the spirit of spring
with all the grace, beauty and treT
mendous power that her majesty
commandSo

AIT HQUH of ANXIETY

It was late in the afternoon on

a cold \vintery day when Mrs. Jones
pushed her wheel-chair to the big
front window to look anxiously
down the road once more to see if
her twins were coming. She knew
it was a long way from the school
to their home on the other side of
the river, but it didn't usually
take them this long and it was getting darker every minute. She tried to remember the route they would
take but as she had only been past
the school once or twice in a friend r.s-.o.ar she wasn't too sure. Finally to ease her mind she called
the police and told them that her
twins weren't home from school and
she was worried that something
might have happened to them.

An Hour of Anxiety (cont'd)

Becoming more uneasy all the time
she settled herself near the window
where she could watch the road and
began to think of all the different
terrible things that might have
happened. She saw the light from
the searcher's flashlight flickering along the bank of the river
like fireflies. Finally they swerved 'and came up the road toward the
house. She wheeled her chair as; '. :
fast as she could to the door and .r..<
opened it wide staying right there,
with-the cold night air blowing in.
A little group halted in the gate-,
way. When the children saw her . . .
they ran wildly up the path and . ;
threw themselves into their inother-'s
arms. She gathered them to her , ; ,
breast crying hysterically. Then,,
composing herself she thanked the
officer for bringing her children
safely home,

SPRING
Spring is here and once more
nature bursts forth in a rhapsody of growth, color, and beauty.
The brilliant sun penetrates down,
melting the last of the winter
snow. The frozen streams gradually begin to thaw, until they
are once again raging torrents.
Swelling buds on branches of ...:
trees burst open to form tender,
new leaves a
he first spring
flowers begin to bloom; the
colorful crocuses and daffodils
dance in the cool spring breeze0
The air is fresh and clean,,
Animals venture forth from winter
hibernation to find food for
their young; and gay, lively
birds are heard twittering in the
treetops0 It is spring, and
all of nature comes alive to
beautify this season of wonder.

- THIS .IS SPRING

Tall slender flowers wave in
the soft meadow breezes*. Young
animals strive to walk or fly
for the first time- The birds
warble a .never-ending song of
joy and birth This is spring!
The warm sun never seems to set
and its warm rays bathe the worlds.
The buds on the graceful branches
of the trees , burst forth in all
their glory and splendor. Dandelions, daisies, violets and
buttercups weave a continuous
carpet on the face of the warm,
moist eartho he newly-born cubs,
fawns, chicks, pups? goslings and
ducklings all strain their minds
and their necks, trying to imagine
and see what the world outside
their nest or den is really like.

THE SNOW

Down towards the waiting earth
Not a care, not a worry
Undisturbed it settles
All is peace.

All is still.
