S ' CLUB
The Future Nurses' Club is sponsored "by Mrs 0 Vigue and Mrs. Soles
and our school sponsor, Mrs. Hamer,
Karon Carefopt is the president,
and Susan Morgan is the secretary
of this club. There are 11 members who meet the first Wednesday
of each month at the Nurses' Residence.
Earlier in the year, much to
the delight of the patients and
hospital staff, the hospital was
decorated for Christmas by a group
of enthusiastic members. The gir3s
are volunteering their services to
Candy Stripe, five days a week in
the hospital. The duties are
small, but helpful to the Nurses.
It is good experience, for everyone seems to enjoy it; including
the patients.
The purpose of this Club is to
ask questions and gain knowledge
of the many aspects of carin for
the sick.

At 2 noon meetings the Future

Teachers' Club enjoyed the excellent reports of Kathy Rudd and
Len Lazzarrotto on the Future
Teacher^' Conference at U.B.C.
Also, the members enjoyed the reports of Peg Williamson and Jill
Cryderman who attended the 18th
Annual High School Conference.
These reports which gave excellent
information on courses and fees
at university and the future of
teaching are to be taped for
future use of counsellors and
students.
Members are once again out
observing in classrooms and Grade
12 students have had the opportunity of teaching during the recent shortage of teachers.

BOWLING CLUB
During the months of January
and February we held bowling
roll-offs to determine our best
bowlers. The top 7 boys and
the top 8 girls are to form the
three teams that will compete
at Kelowna in the North Okanagan
Bowling Roll-Offs which are to
be held this month.
The members of the teams are:
Men's Team
Mixed
Ron Deptford
Joe Scarcelli
Ian Nobbs
Larry Watson
Ray Cretelli
Peg Williamson
Ken English
Ann Abramson
Brian Watson
Patti Kelly
Girl's Team
Lynn McKenzi e
Dawn Cadden
Judy Deptford
Maureen Defoe
A team still has to be picked
for the Youth League Bowling
Roll-Offs n-hich are to be held
in Revelstoke this month.
March will be a very busy
month for the bowlers.

.SPti-^KIMG OUT
BY:

GERRY ARMSTRONG

AUTOMATION has been cynically defined as the use of machinery

to replace man on the production linea Obviously, this is partly
true, because the use of such machinery does, in effect, take .
over jobs previously performed by man,, However, if we think carefully about automation we should realize that in its ca.se as in
all others, there are two sides to the story0
In spite of moving unskilled and semi-skilled jobs from .the la-bour mark.et, automation has opened up an entirely new field of
research= Machines, since they can't think, require technicians,
engineers, machinists , mechanics and whole armies of workers to
keep them running, As a result, vocational schools and universities
are offering an increasing number of courses in such varied subjects as dats-rocessing, computer reading, computer operating, and
even separatecourses in lubricants A larger number of high schods
every, year are following the trend by introducing new technical
and commercial courses0
You may .ask what good this does for the men originally replaced
by,the machines^ Large companies have started vast retraining
programs in order to adapt the ousted employee to the skills necessary for another job,, Often the retrained employee will find .
that his new position is much more interesting and challenging
than his former job0 .Also, in many cases, both pay and working
conditions improve with the changen .-.
-A prime example of what has been stated above can be found in
. the. manufacturing industry., At one t_,me many operations now per formed by machines, employed hundreds of men,, But, a short time
ago it became economically feasible to mass produce many of these
goods0 Industries which have become mechanized are those connected with primary metals, fabricated products, machinery, telephone'
and telegraphy, transportation equipment, instruments, tobacco,
textiles, lumber and wood, 'furniture, paper, printing, chemicals,
petroleum, rubber, leather, stone, glass, clay., mining, merchandising and distribution,,. The men on the production lines, dis-. -.
placed by machines, have, for the large part, been retrained for
technical supervisory and executive positions,
After a study of all the facts available to me, I haye reached
the conclusion that by becoming a threat to-men^stjebs. automation
has^dbpeLa^-gceaij deal of good The two main points are, first,
the majority of men who lost their jobs to machines are finding
themselves in possession of more suitable positions and second,
the threat of the machines has encouraged many men to unveil hid- .
den talents in order, to compete successfully.
You've read this article and now the rest is up to you. You can
stay in school, learn a useful trade.'or you c^n lay your life on
the line, only to have it tranrru. led by the progress being made in
automation each" day. What is YOUR choice?

On Thursday j January 29, I
travelled as . a delegate of

Club to Vancouver and the University of British Columbia,
where a Future Teachers' Club.
Conference was being held .This
was' my second visit to the city
but the first I could really
;remember0 The largest city I
had 'seen before my trip was
Kelowna0 Was I ever in for a
surprise 1 Vancouver was no big
town, as I imagined it to be, it
was enormous Miles and miles of
stores, houses, hotels and shopping centres o When I arrived
there I had visions of walking
over town to do a little shopping*What a walks ...I :was taken to my
billot in Richmond by a university student so I got a cross
'section of the big town0 We must
have been 'on' the road for a goodthree quarters of 'an hour before
we even got near there and I,
not accustomed to the traffic,
was so nervous that it took me the
whole afternoon to recuperate..
The following day,, the first
day of. our conference, I was
driven by my billot to the university,, I,t al'or-.e r..;ust have been

back to join the group, I- found
that I was alone, except for a
University student whom I didn't
know; Clyde had disappeared,, I
dashed frantically about looking
for an exits There was none, except for a staircase which led to
the wrong end of the building*, I
knew our group got out somewhere
and it wasn' t up the stairs*,
Then some kind fellow, observing

all this said, "to your left."

the 'words, "How do I get out
of here?" But the exit to the
left had "LADIES" above it,
Mister, I though, this is no
joke I ran into a hallway to
the right and found some boys
changing. God know what I'd
find in the other place* This
place had no exit so I asked
once again and again I got the
answer to the left,
T d)out turned , ran. to where
I was before* Time was getting
short; my bus would be leaving

TH COTTAGE
There is a cottage of which I dream, .
It is peacefully set near a tiny stream,
A worn brick path leads up to the door
Bordered in colour with flowers galore.
A golden brown thatch covers the eaves '
Towered by willows that sway in the breeze.
Tall creeping vines overhang a etone fence
And encircle the cottage with an air of suspense.
A thin wisp of smoke from the chimney curls
Then finally disappears in the air with a swirl.
Rays of sunlight fall on the stream

And with each little ripple it sparkles and gleams.

But winter will soon come to change this scene

And snow will be presert where the flowers had been.

The little cottage will be newly drest,
a quiet, white world of peace and rest.

LEGALIZED MURDER
" It is one of the fastest and cleanest methods of death. It has
been practised for many'years by many people. It, when performed by
the right people, is not punishable under law. It is just about .as
uncivilized as cannibalism.
The matter of the abolition of hanging in Canada is among the
prime topics of discussion in Parliament and the rest of Canada today.
This "illegalized murder" has been practiced in many countries all
over'the world and also abolished by many. One may say that this punishment has stopped some from committing murder but statistics show
that in these countries where it was abolished, the murder rate has
risen very slightly and not for this reason. Whenever hanging is permitted it is lowering those involved, and all Canadians, for that matter, to the morals and standards of those who are hanged. Was it not
the code of Hammarabi, the ancient Babylonian king who said, 'Tan eye
for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth?" This is not correct and should
not be' done in a civilized country.
'""'But why does society permit it? Because of lack of understanding,
society has permitted it. Capital punishment has formed a place in
Canadian living, a habit, that should and must be discussed and decided upon in order for Canadians to be called divilized and become conscious of what is happening in their own country.
Why have so many of those who were sentenced to hang had 'their
sentences changed to life imprisonment? When their case is appealed to
a higher courtr are those concerned afraid of condemning an innocent
man? This se-ems 'to be the case, judging from the many changed senten-.
ces. They seem to be frightened of the fact that they may be hanging
an innocent man. ;
From the concern shown ;Iately on this issue there must be many who
feel a change should be made in our laws on Capital Punishmai t.
