What Is Beauty?

Beauty to meis the humof a bee, Elsie Or new pink flowers on a cherry tree.

Beauty to you may be a new suede shoe, Or a view of the mountains o'er which you flew.

Beauty may be a new-born babe, Or a diamond bracelet so deftly made.

But whatever in heart beauty may be,

It's there on the earth for all to see.

OCCUPATIOI-lALPROGRAM

Sir Alexande~ Mackenzie School

In nost schools in the Region we find a number of children who are highly agegrade retarded. This retardation results from a variety of causes~ Mainly it is the result of the language problem which exists among native children. To a lesser erlent it is also caused by such factors as a late start in getting to school, illness of various types, being kept home to help, truancy, etc. These children usuiUy become discipline probleas and drop-outs. They then becoDe welfare and court problems. With a bit of help, I:Iany could become useful self-supporting citizens. It is the purpose of this program to give these children some basic training in the skills they will need to earn a living. It is also and perhaps the !:lOst mportant aim of this prograo, to help develop the attitudes and characteristics they nll need in order to hold a job and to becone a responsible member of society.

The prograo itself is a 2-year progran. The first year is an explor!tory year. Eachstudent is given approximately 2 weeks of "on-the-job'! experience in each of as ~ny different types of work as possible. The second year they will be given concentrated training in two or three types of work. These are selected on the basis of their preference and perforl:lance during the exPlor4tory year. During both years of the prograc, pupils are given acadeoic up-grading when they are not receiving "on-the-job" experience.

The following is a list of the "on-the-job" experiences to which a pupil is exposed. The only restriction is that of sex, in certain types of work, i.e. girls will not be trained as a mechanic's helper.

This course was an enlightening one for us in Trlany respects. After studying the Scierlce of sociology, its terrainology and a few basic theories, we literally gave ourselves to the public in a number of survey projects.

One of our projects was carried in our local paper "'I'he Drum". It's topic was "Social Problems of Inuvik," l-iuch to our desire there caused a lot of static in our fbir town. The controversy was so great that after a few weeks of friction we invi ted the public to an open meeting in the school Gym. r,'ir. Hill chaired the meeting and departmental heads sat on the panel, Approximately two hundred people came out; many people spoke their minds. Some people felt that the Youth should hove: I. A coffee house, II. A Youth Centre, III. l'hat the arer;a would solve the existing problem of "Nothing to do", IV. 'l'hat the Youth ~hould organize completely on their own.

We met several times in various places to zero in on the problems of "~othing to do". After two nlonths of meetings "Echo Teen" came into being and functioned very we~l.

Another project carried out by the Sociology class was that of "Highschool Dropouts". We again gained much experience in meeting people interviewing them, reporting baak bnci discussing causes and reasons for dro~ng out. We made a statistical report of our findings, which was made available to vario~s r people associated with this particular problem.

During our study of crime we visited courts, nlade notations and held further discussions on this topic. Our class was one of the most vocal and active in the community.

We, as a class, have learned much from studying this course. Wenow know that old traditions are dying. We are in transition. Technology is stepped up, and in general everything around us is changing rapidly. ~-Jelearned that cl.llture plays a major role in shaping our heritage, personality, communication, and general behavior.

We have learned that folkways and morals are changing. On the surface it may seem that there is a complete breakdo\~n of morals in many areas of the world. One must be unprejudiced and study a foreign culture intensely before he may pass judgement on these people.

ECHO TEEN

"Echo Teen" is a teen club which was started by a group

of teen-agers interested in the welfare of all youth. This organization began after a joint meeting was held between the adults and teen-agers of the community to discuss the "wants

and needs" of the local youth.

At first only a few interested people congregated at any

available place that they could, but under the guidance of

Mr. Yates, Mr. & Mrs. McGee, Mr. Butters and Mr. Goller the organization has flourished.

An executive was chosen as follows:

1. President -Charles McGee

2. Secretary -Patricia Jones

3. Treasurer -Richard Binder

4. Boy's Social Convenor -Jerry Shieron

5. Girl's Social Convenor -Janet Feeley

6. Advertiseraent Managers -Ted Curtis

-lVir. Goller

After a few moderately formal meetings. it was decided

that an informal environment was needed. A place to hold

regular meetings was sought and several possibilities dis-

cussed. Among these were:

1. Father Adam's Rectory

2. S.A.M.S. Gymnasium

3. Ingamo Hall

4. A donation of two 5' by 12' rooms from Northern

Affairs and l~orthern Development, or a warehouse.

After a vote and thorough discussion it was decided that

~'ather Adam's Rectory would be the most suitable, until we Kane tackled the task of building our own building. Father Adam was pleased that we accepted his offer and did much to establish our club.

An adult advisary was set u~ and a few willing adults ~ ~ helped to develop the club.

It was decided to hold our meetings on Thursday evenings and Sunday afternoons. These two hour meetings consist of a brief business meeting, games, musical, and dancing periods.

Echo Teen has contributed much to the youth of Inuvik. 1 They have held numerous teen dances and have even produced year their own eight Go-Go Girls. vlhen "Smilin' Johnny" came to a. Pe town the Echo Teens sponsored him. They chartered a bus to pie go to the airport so that they could meet him. During the time Muskrat Jamboree they not only co-ordinated the parade but the they also entered two floats and several "horses" to lead form, the parade. They are currently donating ~lOO to the new Community Arena.

Our total membership is about 50 and anyone between the way I ages 13 and 21 is invited to join. hopec Conc]

THE STEFANSSONSCIENCE CLUB OF INUVIK

The Club was started in 1963 bv Mr. W. Ho and Mr. R. Hill, the Manager of the Inuvik Resear~ Centre. The first year was an experimental year and the Club did not hold a full scale Fair. But some elub members did put on a display during the Muskrat Jamboree of 1964.

During the school year of 1964-1965, the Club was more active and it held its first Science Fair in the Research Centre. There were three entries for competition and the winner was Tom Zubko. A model of a pingo with a brief description of its origin was also on display. The club also went on a few outings during the year.

The club grew bigger for the school year 1965-1966. However, the fair that year was for displays of different scientific undertakings only. This was also the first time that the fair had an outside display from another settlement namely, Fort MacPherson.

This school year there are eleven members in the Club. The membership ranges from students who are in Grade V to Grade X. The group project this year is a study of the mighty ~Iackenzie River. Also different scientific kits were purchased at the beginning of the year for use by the members. The Club has a regular film show for the people of Inuvik and it has been in operation for three years now. The donations collected are used tb purchase material for members' projects. The fair this year will be held either the first Saturday of Mayor the second Saturdav. The format of the fair will be n Science is Fun ". This year Mr. M. Cane, besides Mr. Ho and Mr. Hill, wii£l be helping with the fair.

The members of the Club are: Doug Bailey, Jim Bowden, Shane Bowden, Kathy Lace, Vernon Lace, Dennis Lyall, Jerry Shieron, Kane Tologanak, Ken Zubko, Tom Zubko, and Zora Zubko.

CENTENNIAL COr~~ITTEEREPORT

The Centennial Committe held 1tS first meeting early in the year. Several interesting projects were proposed among them, a Penny Day for the Centennial Library, a Sir Alexander Mackenpie Mural, a history of Inuvik, a biographical sketch of oldtimers of the north and provision of Centennial bookplate for the sbhoollibrary. Naturally, several sub-committees were formed and several feasibility studies were conducted.

The Penny day was very successful, a total of $50.00 being collected. Projects have been a little slow in getting under way but with the major portion of the year before us, it is hoped that several projects will be followed to a successful conclusion.

Centennial year will not be seen again by anyone in Sir Alexander Mackenzie, why not leave a mark of your Centennial schooldays by helping to generate a happening!

Our lady Of Victory,

THE FLIGHT OFYOUTH

MYTHOUGHTSOF GOD

There are gains for all our losses, There are balms for all our pains, But when youth, the dream, departs, They say that God lives very high, It takes something from our hearts. But if you look above the pines, And it never comes again. You cannot see our God, And why?

Something beautiful has vanished, And we sigh for it in vain; God is good, he wears a fold, Webehold it everywhere, Of heaven and earth across his face, On earth and in the air, Like secrets, for love untold. But it never comes again.

HOUSESYSTEM

June, 1966, stands in S.A.~l.S. history as the date of the Roman conquest in the first year of inter-house competitions. As defending champions, the Romans colourfully opened the Indoor Track Meet in October, 1966, to mark the beginning of the second year's battles. Encouraged by the frenzied spectators, competitors went all out to gain points for their respective houses. We may eventually forget that the Vikings won the meet, but will we ever forget the hasty exits of the girls who discovered that their slims didn't have quite enough stretch to survive the obstacle race?

As the weeks and months rolled by, the score board thermometers registered wins and losses as juniors and seniors met in round robin tournaments of soccer, curling, basketball and volleyball. Added to these athletic points were the results of the day to day class room efforts of every house member, for the Christmas and Easter report card marks were tabulated to earn house points by the top four scholars in each class.

At the time of writing, final scores are not yet completed for this year, but the present standings of the houses are: Vikings, Spartans, Trojans, and Romans.

So close are the scores that its not safe to predict the champions for 1966-1967, but when the final outcome is known, every student can have the satisfaction of knowing that he or she, as athlete, scholar, or enthusiastic spectator, definitely contributed to that final score. ,

GOLDVS. MEN

It was dreadfully cold as they panned for the gold, But the men were hearty, cheerful and bold. They plodded through to the ice-covered river, Each one producing the slightest shiver.

They sauntered forth, on that icy sheet, Each one deciding not to retreat; ~ut then, with a mighty crashl

The ice sheet broke: The men did dash BacK to shore to coQnt each soul, To find that one was down in the holel They abandoned their pans and grabbed a rope, Although they thought there was no hopeo

They proceede'd £orth; time was their foe, Frightened this time, but they had to go!

Skillfully, carefully, they reached the spot.

They lowered the rope and held on tight, If they wanted to win they had to fight. Moments passed; their blood ran cold, No sigr of him did they behold!

But then a tug by one was felt, Each, in turn, slowly knelt, A blur of colour met their eyes, They held steadfast and the rope did rise!

He was lifted out aqd warmly clado

The moral of the story can be told That men care more for men than gold. 1

VARIETY AT S.~;:)

~

On Friday evening, March 10 at S~~, a premiere Variety

Concert was staged by the students and High School chorus. This included an interesting gymnastic display by capable Jr. and Sr. high school students, under the direction of Mr. B. Williams. The Jr. high girls of Mrs. Williams, put on an effective dance display. The highlight of the evening was the musical production of SnowWhite in which grade 6, 7 and g students were featured. The production had considerable merit and credit is due to Mr. McHargue who directed the entire musical production and Mr. Williams who piloted the production on the other side of the curtain.

The proceeds from the evening were used for extl'a music 1 and gymnastic equipment.

LIONS BASKETBALL 1966-67

After the toughest contested and most exciting Basketball final, our Lions were victorious. During the first scheduled league-play, the Lions were at the top. Many of their games were won by a large margin of points. During the second schedule, the Navy team showed great improvement. They had a strong, tall team. The standings were: Lions, Navy, Huskies and Hawks.

In the semi-final play-offs, the Lions easily de1~eated the Huskies and the Navy did likewise with the Hawks.

In the finals, the Lions took the best of five series, winning three games to the Navy's one. All of these games were very close and only in the last few minutes of the fourth quarter was the winner determined. These games were exciting and kep the spectators on the edge of their seats.

THE PLAYERS

Larry Gordon Captain, guard. Larry is developing into a rugged high rebounding player with a good long-shot and a deadly lay-up.

Ceci! Hansen Assistant Captain, guard. He is also a good guard w~th a very accurate shot from the head of the key. These two boys are the backbone of the Lions defence.

Rudy Cockney Centre. Rudy won the league scoring championship. Rudy had a deadly shot both under the basket and from the corners.

John Holman Wing. A very fine player who went all out at times both offensively and defensively.

Frank }'elix Wing. A good clutch player.

Terry Norman Centre. A first year player. An excellent rebounder and blocker.

Bob Kailek Wing. A very fast ball player who proved himself in the play-offs.

Albert Rufus Wing. A first year player who undoubtedly is the most improved player on the team.

Wilbert Papik Guard. First year player who developed rapidly into a very reliable guard.

Maurice Cardinal Guard. Injury kept this player from reaching his full potential.

Fra!;!k Dillion, Theron Livin.e:ston, and Brian Love. All boys were f~rst year players. These boys did not play regularly but. filled in while the "big guns" were in Quebec. Another year's play should develop these boys into good players.

Next year, we hope for a highly competitive league with the possibilities of competition from the Yukon and Alaska. We hope to have the Territorial play-offs in Inuvil next year. Xhis can be done if schools in the south save enough money for transportation.

First Canadian UNITYTHROUGHSPORTSWin ter Games

.The black, green, and gold colors of the Northwest Territories were much in evidence at the First Canadian Winter Games in Quebec City. With the emphasis on participation, the entire population of the North responded in a manner that has even suprised the experts. Over 100 athletes representing nine sports took p~rt in our national sports spectacle in February. Teams representing volleyball, basketball, badmint~n. curling, hockey. skiing, shooting, table tennis, and figure skating competed for the first time on a national level.

The trials for the N.W.T. team were held in Yellowknife on the 9, 10, and 11 of December. OVer 200 athletes from Inuvik, Norman Wells, Pine Point, Yellowknife, Fort Smith, Hay River, and other centers took part -Metis, Indians, Eskimos, and Whites vying for berths on the team and the honor to represent the Territories.

Although possibly lacking experience, the N.W.T. team certainly did not lack effort and determination. With the knowledge gained at the Winter Games, we hope they will broaden the knowledge and improve the caliber of all our athletes. Winning medals or not, we have won the first round in making ourselves better competitors, and better citizens.

Canadian Winter Games 1967 -a project worthy of everyone who believed in: "UNITY THBOUGHSPORTS"

VOLLEYBALL

In November of 1966, there was tryouts throughout the Northwest Territories for junior volleyball players, for anyone under 21 years of age. After the players were picked for teams, they went to Yellowknife in December for the NWTChampionship. In February the winning team was to go to the Quebec City for the First Canadian Winter Games. At the Yellowknife playdowns, the Inuvik team was victorious over Fort Smith, YellowkniEe and Hay River. They did not loose a single game. The team was composed of five students for SAMSand four Navy fellows, and one resident of Inuvik.

Upon returning home, the team practised seven days a week. Every Friday night the juniors played games against the Inuvik all-stars. The NWTjUi'liors won the majority of the games.

The team left Inuvik on February 14 and stayed overnight in Edmonton. On the 16th, they arrived in Quebec City. The next morning the opening ceremonies were held and all teams assembled at Patro Roc Amadour in uniform. After a few brief speeches, the games began. During the two and half days of playing, i there were many injuries. Sunday morning, the games ended and I medals were presented. The Gold medal went to B. C., the Silver i went to Manitoba, and the Bronze to Ontario. The N~'w'Tteam placed ninth out of eleven.

That evening, there was a closing ceremony in front of the Parliament Buildings after which a dance was held at the Drill Hall of Quebec for all the athletes featuring Illes Ookpiks", a rock and roll group.

RTHw~STTERRITORIESHIGH SCHOOLCURLING

The 1966-67 rink which represented S. A. M. S. at Fort Smith consisted of; Skip, Wiloert Papik; Third, MagnusBourque; Second, Lawrence Firth and Lead, George Bailey. The coach was Mr. O. Radcliffe. Wewere hoping that we could win in the territories and go down to Edmonton for the Provincial playdowns. In fact, we believed we were capable of accomplishing this feat. However, we were not able to deafeat Yellowknife in two games. It was muchthe same story as last year. Wedid not have as much practise as they had, and this is why we were defeated. Our boys did a fine job of curling and displayed a high calibre of sportsmanship.. Next year, with an almost complete rebuilding of our team, we hope to win the N. W. T. high school trophy. To be certain of winning, we desperately need competition in the senior league, at least for the first sked. One of these years, we hope to have the N. W. T. send representatives to the National Playdowns. This is when we will get recognition as each province does now.

Cross-Country skiilig -a method of goillg effortlessly through the sr.ow with skies. The important thing is the technique or the way in which you glide. To race you must be healthly alld strong. You must have stamina, technique, willpower arid determir;ation. It is not easy as we, the skiers have learned.

We trained in the fall by running through mass, workouts ill the gym al.d lectures by Father Mauchet. When the first SIIOWfall camewe packed down our ski slope. Then we skied ar;d we found it challengillg al_d tiring. 1vlore snow came arid Father cleared the trails. We began skiing and training.

In Dece!!lber the selectjon for the Winter Games was held. John Ross from Yellowknife, Antoine Barnaby and John Itseleie from Fort Smith af1d the skiers from Inuvik took part. There were three races arid the time j.rl which we raced the various courses told us if we would compete jn Quebec. The fjnal selections were:

Fort Good Hope Fort McPherson Alkavik NQrmanWells

Harold CooK John Ross Anita Allen Jarlet Tourarlgeau

Fred Kelly Eva Tourangeau

John Turo

Antoine Barnaby

OnDecem.ber20, the skiers took a trip to Anchorage for a sanctioned race. The competir.g individuals and groups were:

Harold Cook and Bert Kimiksana

John Turo, Fred Kelly, Henry Steen, Charles Tobac, and George Granijambre

Rex Cockney, Antoine Grandjambre, and Teupin

Anita Allen

Rose Ann Allen

On priparation for the Quebec Winter Gamesincluded sDecial diets, daily 13 km. runs and special exercises.

Finally the iay we were waiting for c&me, February 11, 1967, Saturday four o'clock. We departed for Quebec.

At Quebec we were greeted by the Winter Games 1ilelcomers committee. r~ext day we werlt for a practise on the course.

The course did not have tracks like those we were used to

sk~.ing on. Some o.f the misfortunate circumstances were a twlsted ankle by r.arold Cook, John Turo lost a ski plus a

sk: pole but both boys were reluctallt to quit because of their

preparation for this big everlt. The girls, however, did very well and Janet Tourangeau won a gold medal and Anita a silve~.

from Queb?c City w~ wen~ to Setton, Quebec for the Natlonal ~unlor ~mplonsh1ps. The course was strai~ht 2 km. uph1~1 arld.r1ght ?ack down. The girls again did very well 1n tak11ig a f:; rst and second place.

BADMINTON

The guided missiles reaching speeds up to 120 miles per hour in SAl~ gymnasium, prove on close inspection to be badminton shuttlecocks. So precisely were these guided during the Nw~ Championship in May, 1966 that for the second consecutive year, SAMSplayers jointly with the senior club, retained the Territorial Championship.

The smooth teamwork of Terry Norman and Ted Curtis won for them the boys' doubles event over Fort Smith and Yellowknife teams. Ted continued his winning ways through some close matches to gain the boys' singles cup. Undoubtedly, the most exciting of all the matches was the mixed doubles of Violet Turner and Noroert Vollmers against the Yellowknife team. The match went to two points in the third gamewith the Yellowknife team winning by one point, a real thriller for the spectators. Though they didn't manage to win their events, Brenda Ruymar and Violet Turner in girls doubles and Violet Turner in girls singles made a strong representation for Inuvik.

Activities are drawing to a close again for this term, with "An End of the Season Tournament" being played in all categories. Competitors are eyeing the trophies in the showcase. Who will win this time? Who through consistent effort and playing ability will make up the team to represent Inuvik in the Territorial playdowns at Fort Smith in May?

Unfortunately, we are not quite ready to finalize these details, but we're sure that all contestants will display their usual good sportsmanship and determined play that will keep us in the position of defending champions.
