    Caryl Churchill: Representational negotiations and provisional truths

    No full text
    JUDGE: Go away Barbara. I've had enough. Should we all be kind? You are lukewarm and will be vomited. There are two camps, Barbara, mine and theirs. Either you are with, or you are against. Although English playwright Caryl Churchill wrote the three scripts examined in this thesis more than thirty years ago, each captures our contemporary zeitgeist in sometimes surprising ways. These works explore the shifting politics of power, revealing binary and essentialist representations that not only continue but have been strengthened on all sides in recent years, suggesting their central importance in defining and controlling culture. This thesis examines how Churchill subverts conventional forms of representation and probes the ways in which she herself has been represented by critics and scholars at various periods of her writing career. It is my contention that these processes operate in tandem, performing an ongoing dialogue. Because of the dynamic nature of this dialogue, the aim here is not so much to provide an increasingly unified or finite understanding of the artistic milieu from which a play emerges, as it is to recognize the level of complexity underlying the mutable and political process of its interpretation. I have undertaken a detailed exploration of three lesser-known short scripts from 1972, a 'watershed' year for Churchill, culminating in the relative success of Owners, her first major stage play. While many of her earlier works have been deserving of further exploration, a number of them have been largely overlooked in the broader environment of her subsequent contribution to contemporary theatre. The particular scripts that I explore in the course of this thesis are: The Hospital at the Time of the Revolution; Schreber's Nervous Illness and The Judge's Wife, an unperformed stage play, a radio play and a television play respectively. These works are worthy of exploration because of their experiments with the politics of subjectivity as it impacts on race, gender and social class, and notions of 'legitimacy' that shift with a person's changing circumstances. Each of these plays implicitly demonstrates the importance of subjectivity in relation to representational power as it places characters who have traditionally been silenced at the centre of the action. I have titled my thesis Caryl Churchill: Representational Negotiations and Provisional Truths. In invoking this title I pre-empt the engagement of a subjective, strategic essentialist approach, both in critiquing this period of Churchill's work and in declaring the assumptions of the arguments contained in the pages that follow

    Gender, Politics, Subjectivity: Reading Caryl Churchill.

    No full text
    This doctoral dissertation approaches three plays written by British playwright Caryl Churchill (1938- ): Cloud Nine (1979), Top Girls (1982), and Blue Heart (1997). Her plays deal mainly with systems of oppression and their effects on the individual or on groups of people. These systems of oppression, reminiscent of the Foucauldian power structures, exert their restrictive power over the dispossessed -the working class, women, or gays and lesbians. The main objective of this dissertation is to demonostrate how a gender and politics-oriented approach to theatre can help to subvert some of the patriarchal and conservative assumptions implicit in traditional theatre. In this respect, the three plays analysed share the presence of recurrent themes: patriarchal society, the nuclear family, colonisation at several levels (race, gender, sexuality), and the capitalist system

Reg was born in Lethbridge seveenteen years ago. He attended Winston Churchill School until January 20, this year. Although he left us this term, he planned to come back to continue his education in the fall of 1961. His friends knew Reg as a very friendly person who was weil-behaved and although he had no immediate plans about the future he thought of engineering as a possibility. His love was in motorcycles and cars. Reg's death was a great loss to his family, and friends. It will be hard for all of us to forget him. LWinston Churchill High School has begun what is expected to be a long and glorious career of service to .this community. Here, in its first yearbook, I record my own hopes for the kind of school it will be. May the building, under the care of its janitors, improve as it grows older until it reaches maturity and becomes an efficient, depend­able olant providing a comfortable atmosphere for over a thousand stu­dents and their teachers. May these students enrol with eager anticipation of great benefits to be won, and leave with regret that their high school careers have so quickly ended. May their teachers find the classrooms and facilities to be sufficient in quantity and quality to allow them to work at maxi­mum efficiency. May those who teach and study here be conscious of the equality of all as human beings and of the difference between individuals with respect to abilities, interests, attitudes and assigned functions. Let the teachers be respected for the dignity of their profession and their dedication to their duties, let the students be aware that maturity ar.d full citizenship are not yet theirs, though soon to be reached, and let the relationship between students and teachers show discipline without bitterness and respect without compulsion. This school will see much joy and sorrow, laughter and tears, successes and failures, pleasures and disappointments for these are present wherever there is life. Ar.d I hope that Churchill School will live - that it will never be a prison for its students nor a treadmill for its staff but that it will ever be considered a healthy and bright environment for those it serves. 5 Council rHEl AAA KOSARA KATMV UOSTLAKJD vice • pftcoiornr CAROL OMNO TacASuacR KATlfc KOZAIC J CMARNETSKI AOVlSOft A RODNUNSKY AOVI5CR SHADOW OOlSAK Tf2CAsuata 6 are4t man C.

The significance of this evening will long be remembered as an important event in the course of our lives, for it represents the completion of nine years of study, recreation and companionship. As we look back over the years, we may smile, as we think of the problems and experiences which confronted us. They may have seemed unconquerable at the time, however, as author Arthur Guitermann implies, "Time changes all things." Therefore, what seemed unsurmountable then, is now, a mere recollection of the past. We may recall the days when we entered school for the first time. We were cast into a new world of pencils, books and more books. It was also here that we experienced the disciplinary action of the teachers, finding them somewhat similar to that of our parents. It was in this "Ace of Innocence", that small problems seemed overwhelmingly difficult and we often wondered if ever, we would grow up. Thus a period of six years came to an end. We were, perhaps, sad in our farewell to elementary school and in leaving comfortable habits. This only presented temporary worries, how­ever, for the prospect of attending a larger school, meeting new friends and acquiring greater knowledge, remained constantly in our minds. This oeriod has now come to a close and we must look to the future in the anticipation of attaining new heights and in overcoming the dif­ficulties which may arise. Now, as we look around this hall, seeing all these happy and proud faces, it leaves us with sadness, knowing that some of us will not be here in. the future. This is softened somewhat, since each of us has a worthwhile purpose to fulfill in life. We must also consider and be thankful for the love and affection of our parents and the constant guidance of the teachers, who, in their efforts helped us to further our schooling. Thus, it is in this state of mind that I wish to congratulate you, and wish you all the "best in the years to come. Let us all be prepared to use what we have gained to make this world of ours a better place in which to live. Horst Weber.Grade Nine Graduation Banquet and Dance This year’s graduation banquet started off punctually at 6:30 with the march of the graduands followed by 0 Canada, and grace by Mike Brown. A delicious cold plate meal was served. About half way through the first course we listened to a very enjoyable trumpet solo by Robert Hall. Heather Emery then proposed a toast to the school board followed by a reply from Mr. E.J. Kipp. The next item on the program was a vocai solo by Gloria Rogers and a toast was proposed by Gladys Brassard to the Parent's Association. The reply was by Mr. Walker, the president of the association. The next entertainer was Willard Roelofs with a clarinet solo. Ken Enander proposed a toast to the teaching staff to which Mr. Charnetski reolied. Donna Huber sang a solo followed by Mr. Thorlacius with a toast to the graduands. Horst Weber delivered a very interesting valedictory address after which the chairman, Pat Bartlett ore- se.nted Mr. Turner with a picture from the 1960-61 graduating class. Mr. Turner then gave a talk about the method by which 'Winston Churchill is run. The chairman then officially declared the banquet as closed. A dance followed at the L.C.I. beginning at 9:00 and ending at 12:00. The dance was attended by the graduands from Paterson, Hamilton and Churchill and the Playland Orchestra was in attendance. Flowers were presented to Mrs. Kioo, Mrs Kyle and Mrs. Bussara. 30 32 This year has proven to be a year of disappointment for our senior boy's basketball team. Although we didn't win a championship spot, we have learned how to be good losers. Mainly because we don't know what it's like to be the winners. Thanks to Mr. Doram, we were able to have a team this year, and put up a good fight at times. His own basketball exoerience has been, and wiii, be a great asset to us. Only through his determination will we be able to have a good ball team. Next year, he will make this school oroud of the senior boy's basketball team.

Although greatly outplayed in some games, the team managed third place in the league standings, a . few ooints ahead of Paterson. The boys were at their best during the last half of the season. However, they lost their semi-final games to St. Francis. Under the excellent coaching of Mr. McCormick, the team played very well. TEAM MEMBERS L to R Don Wyrostock, W.

The basketball trips and all the practices of the past few months, have become a fond memory. Winston Churchill High School's first year in comoetitive Senior "B" Girl's Basketball has come to a close. The Girl's Team was credited with one victory throughout the season. We can truly say that they tried very hard, showed great determination and took defeat in their stride. The idea behind comoetitive snorts is to bring about better sportsmanship for the oarticioants and it takes more of a show of good sportsmanship to lose a game than to win one. Winston Churchill has a first year basketball team that any school would be proud of. We realize our team has great ootential and next year with more practice and the additional experience gained from this year, we hope to be very successful. Hr. Hiatt, the team's coach, deserves a snecial thanks, as he Dut in a great deal of time and effort towards shaping the foundation for a championship team. We'd like to thank the giris who played on this year's team and helped to make Churchill's debut into competitive sports a steeping stone to a brighter outlook for next year. We wish the following team the best of luck and hope that they can hit the basket more often than we did. TEAM MEMBERS L to R Gayle Brown, Katie Kozak, Sharron Grisak, C.

    In Richtung Delogozentrismus : eine Studie der dramatischen Arbeiten von Samuel Beckett, Tom Stoppard und Caryl Churchill

    No full text
    The relation between reality and language, the instability of language as a signification system, the representation crisis, and the borders of interpretation are the controversial issues that have engaged not only philosophers, but also many authors, translators, and literary critics. Some philosophers like Derrida accuse Western thinking of being obsessed with binary oppositions. In Derrida's view, Western tradition resorts to external references as God, truth, origin, center and reason to stabilize the signification system. Since these concepts lack an internal sense and there is no transcendental signified that can fix these signifiers, language turns to an instable system by means of which no fixed meaning can be created. Many authors like Beckett, Stoppard, and Caryl Churchill also noticed this impossibility of language. While Derrida's deconstructive approach to this crisis has an epistemological nature, these playwrights present an aesthetic solution by turning the deconstructive potential of language against itself in text and performance. This dissertation aims at exploring their performing methods and dramatic texts to demonstrate how their delogocentric strategies work. By analyzing their plays, I will examine if their use of signifiers that have no references in reality, intentional misconceptions, disintegrated subjectivities, decentered narratives, and experimental performances can help them undermine the prevailing logocentrism of Western thought. The examination of the change in aesthetic strategies from Beckett, who belongs to earlier stages of post modernism, to Caryl Churchill, who should perform in a globalized world with increasing dominance of speed and information, is another aim of this research. In my view,Beckett's obsession with unspeakable, absurdity, and disintegration of subjectivity develops to Stoppard's language games, metadrama, and anti-representation and culminates in Churchill's anti-narrative texts and pluralistic performances. The monophony of Beckett's dramatic texts is replaced by the polyphony of Churchill's performances, which are a mixture of theater, dance and music. However, all explored dramatic texts in this dissertation have something in common: they are language games, which have no claim on a faithful representation of reality or transcendental truth.Der Zusammenhang der Realität mit der Sprache, die Unstabilität der Sprache als ein Signifikationssystem, die Repräsentationkrise, und die Grenze der Interpretation sind die Streitpunkte, die nicht nur die zeitgenössischen Philosophen sondern auch viele Autoren beschäftigt haben. Manche Philosophen wie Derrida unterstellen, dass das westliche Denken das Wort als Sinträger betrachtet. Seiner Meinung nach beruht der Logozentrismus des abendländischen Denkens auf binärer Opposition oder externer Referenz wie der Präsenz von Gott, Wahrheit, Ursprung, Ursache, Transzendenz oder einem Zentrum. Da alle diese Begriffe ohne eigentlichen Inhalt sind, und es kein transzendentales Signifikat gibt, auf das alle diese Signifikanten jeweils verweisen, wird die Sprache zu einem unstabilen Signifikationssystem, deren Mittel keine fixierbare Bedeutung erschaffen wird. Aus dieser Problematik kommt eine Repräsentationkrise, die nicht nur die Philosophie sondern auch die Literatur betrifft. Ob und wie man gegen die Grenze der Sprache anrennen kann, ist nicht nur eine philosophische, sondern auch eine ästhetische Frage. Während die Antwort der Philosophen wie Derrida eine dekonstruktive Annäherung zur logozentrischen Interpretationen ist, schlägt die Literatur eine ästhetische Lösung vor: die Darstellung der Sprachkrise mittels der Sprache. Kann uns das experimentelle Kunstwerk der Autoren wie Samuel Beckett, Tom Stoppard und Caryl Churchill von der Illusion der Wirklichkeit befreien? Ist es möglich eine anti-erzählenden Erzählung zu schaffen, die die Dominanz des beherrschenden Diskurses abschaffen kann? Diese Fragen zu erforschen visiert diese Dissertation an. Die ersten Versuche dieser Autoren gegen pure Repräsentation richten sich an neue Phantasiequellen außerhalb der Realität. Dramatiker wie Beckett, Stoppard und Churchill nutzen die Eigendynamik der Sprache als eine Quelle um ihren Funktionsausfall darzustellen. Die Signifikate, die sich auf keine wirkliche Signifikante beziehen, die Charakteren, für die es kein Duplikat in der Realität gibt, die zerbrochene Subjektivität, die sich nicht mittels Sprache äußern kann, die Handlung, der es an Einheit oder auch Beschlussunfähigkeit mangelt, und schließlich die Sprache die nicht mehr eine ordentliche Sprache ist, stellen das Mittel, das diese Dramatiker für die Dekonstruktion der Sprache und des Textes brauchen. Diese Arbeit wird versuchen bei der Analyse ihrer Theaterstücke aufzuzeigen, wie die Methode, die diese Autoren genutzt haben, sich im Lauf der Zeit geändert hat. Becketts Besessenheit mit dem Unsprechbaren, der Sinnlosigkeit oder zerstörter Subjektivität steigert sich zu undeutlicher Sprache, Identitätsverlust und Antirepräsentation bei Stoppard und kulminiert in Destrukturierung des Narrativs und der Sprache bei Churchill. Die Einstimmigkeit von Becketts Werken ist durch die Polyphonie von Churchills Theaterstücke, die eine Mischung aus Theater, Tanz und Musik sind, ersetzt worden. Alle Theaterstücke, die in dieser Arbeit analysiert wurden haben jedoch eine gemeinsame Eigenschaft: Sie sind Sprachspiele, die keinen Anspruch auf Realitätstreue oder transzendentale Wahrheit haben

    The annual publication of the students of Winston Churchill High School, Lethbridge, Alberta. (1971-72)pdfstatesman Sin' Statesman M "Knowledge, Its Own Reward" THE ANNUAL PUBLICATION OF THE STUDENTS OF WINSTON CHURCHILL HIGH SCHOOL LETHBRIDGE, ALBERTA Volume XII, 1971 - 72 PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE The 1971-72 school year at Winston Churchill High School has been a year of consolidation and reorganization. The need for reorganization was brought about by a number of staff changes and some rather significant changes in function for those on staff. Consolidation, because we believe that what has been going on in Winston Churchill over the past ten years, is of very great significance to the education of young adults. We wanted to be very sure that we have analysed very carefully what it is we're doing. Secondly, we want to ensure that we continue those desirable practices which have been developed over the years through a process of trial and error. Finally, we believe that consolidation is necessary because we have reached a point in development where trial and error is no longer necessary. Having said this, you could justifiably ask what Churchill is developing or what makes that school any different from any other school. In answering my own question, I would point to two things which, in my opinion, are the most significant and the focal point towards which all of our educational efforts have been directed over the past number of years. One: We believe that it is possible to give a student a quality education within an environ­ment that is pleasant, warm and friendly. In other words, an education does not have to be a bitter pill that must be forcibly crammed down the unwilling throats of those on the receiving end. Two: We believe that in educating young adults, the student must be given — and can be given — the maximum possible freedom to making decisions regarding his or her educational future. Now, if this sort of freedom if intended within an educational vacuum, the results would be rather chaotic. If the choice and freedom amount to nothing more than a flip of the coin — heads or tails — freedom to choose, then the freedom is so shallow that it has no meaning. But if freedom is extended within the framework of a socially accepted standard as deter­mined by the School Act and the Department of Education Curriculum. If it is further defined by written goals and policies of our local school board which accurately reflect the wishes of the parents; and if the process is supervised and students have the guidance of a concerned and healthy moti­vated staff, then, I would suggest to you that the freedom extended can be absolute and will result in the development of a sense of responsibility and maturity far beyond the years normally expected of the school population. Our experience this year and over the past few years would indicate that such a system is possible. Our experiences would also indicate that we have not yet achieved our goal. Some students still find education more painful and relevant and in several areas of our operation, the socially accept­able framework is rather ill-defined which makes the extension of a free choice rather difficult. These are the challenges of tomorrow and the next day. With the continued cooperation of the students, their parents and our professional staff, these problems will be overcome — tomorrow or the next day — we are that close. J. WAYNE TERRIFF Principal PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE A flashback on the Calendar of Events of this year makes you realize what a great time it has been. There were the annual events: the sports, the productions, the trading of school pictures, the excitement of frosh day, the ordering of school rings, people running around selling raffle tickets, flags, T-shirts, and of course the Sweethear Queen Contest plus three major tournaments. We did manage a few unique things this year: Mr. Turner Night, bus trips to Medicine Hat, a canoe club, a black and white addition to the family called "Winston" and a trip to Thunder Bay, Ontario. There were things we failed on. The "Crud" and lounge furniture took more time than we had to devote. Attendance at sports, dances, pep rallies, assemblies and productions were down from previous years, but we didn't fail totally because some people gained from them. Yes, this was the year of "The King and I," and our girls' basketball team winning the provincial championship. Yet, some naive source accuses us of being 50% drug addicts. We have in the Student Council Constitution certain objectives; like social func­tions should cater to the general student body and that all students have equal oppor­tunities to participate. I hope we accomplished these goals. I owe thanks to many people for helping me throughout the year, especially Mr. Terriff, Mr. Anderson and Mr. Clewes. The teachers, secretaries, janitorial staff and student body were so good to me in the form of gifts and help. Thank you all very much. The end of the year is here, and for the grads that have been looking forward to it for so long it is a sad time. I wish each individual grad the best of life and living in his future years. To the people that will make Churchill a success in the next few years I hope things turn out more than perfect for you and your school. "Parting is such sweet sorrow" is a very over-dramatized and over-used line but it says it all too well. Take care of Churchill and the dog. Take from Winston Churchill what you can; I took a lot.

TEACHER Pat: Honoured Guests, Fellow Graduands, Parents, and the Faculty of Winston Churchill High School. We come before you with our unrehearsed, unpolished, hard worked for Teacher Intro­ductions: Albert: This year we didn't do the perennial sit-down think-up job of presenting our teachers to you. No, sir, Pat wanted to do it the hard way. Pat: I did? Albert: You did. With dogged determination we got hold of every teacher's spouse. This was pretty hard because four of them aren't married! Pat: In the eyes of many students, teachers are teachers, not human beings. Albert: So we say, who knows the teachers better than their wives or husbands? Pat: I don't know Albert. Who knows the teachers better than their wives and husbands? Albert: Uh-uh. We would like to remedy this misconception tonight. We went to the spouses and asked them to relate to us . . . mentionable incidents in the days gone by — of dating, malt shops, bobby socks, ponytails, Roy Rogers horse . . . Pat: Would the teachers please stand when their names are mentioned so everyone knows who's being embarrassed. We'll start with the newly-weds. Pat: Anita Grant. Being married less than one year, Anita's hus­band Hugh didn't have too much trouble remembering this rather emba rassing incident that occurred while they were dating. One fine sunny day, Anita and Hugh decided to go for a drive. They ended up on a deserted country road outside of Mag-rath parked smack dab in the middle of the road. While engaged in the usual activity a young couple finds them­selves in on a deserted country road, they were rudely inter­rupted by a loud honking. Needing some air anyway, they both looked up to see where the honking was coming from. They were shocked to see a busload of laughing, pointing, school kids staring wideyed at them. Hugh, realizing the need for quick action, pulled the car over to the side of the road, while Anita slumped down in the seat. The bus finally passed w th the kids crying with laughter. By the way, Anita is our girls' phys. ed. teacher and rumor has it that if sex educa­tion is ever taught at Winston, they won't have to look too hard for a capable instructor. Albert: Eleanore Commodore. Eleanore and Wayne Commodore have been married a short 18 months. All I could get out of Wayne about how they met was that he was hammered out of his head at a party when he looked up and saw a pretty young thing. Things changed when he sobered up. She wasn't pretty—she was beautiful. Final score - Husbands 1, Bache­lors 0. And the in-laws lived happily ever after. Pat: Glen Alexander. Glen, Mr. Versatile on Churchill's teaching staff, teaches Physics and Physical Education. He devotes a great deal of his time to coaching the girls' basketball team. Janet, Glen's wife of two years, found this out when she was dating him. She was watching a basketball game the Griffins were playing one night. She had to leave early so she got up and left at half time. Janet was walking down the hall towards him and he was walking to the dressing room with the’ team. Being the only other person in the hall besides the team, Janet fully expected Glen to stop and talk to her for a minute. Glen saw her but walked right on by, totally engrossed in the basketball business at hand. Wonder­ing whether Glen was going to marry her or a basketball, Janet stomped1 indignantly down the hall. Albert: Marilyn Barrett. Marilyn Barrett is Fab teacher and a liberated woman, or so it seems. Morley, her husband of three years tells us how they met. She asked him out to a girls formal and he accepted. All I can say is where is a good girls formal when you need one? Pat: Oh, by the way, if you haven't noticed, our LIBERATED Marilyn is going to be a mother. If that's women's lib, I think I'll wait a while before I liberate myself. Pat: Malcolm Clewes. Mai and wife, Mary, have been hitched for four years. Mai was student teaching at Churchill at the time his first son was born. When the nurse told' the ecstatic Mai that he was the father of a boy, he just stood in front of the nursery window for 20 minutes. Then he turned' around and exclaimed, "It's a boy!". You can see how hard up we are for a biology teacher. Albert: Mel Lahti. Mel Lahti, English teacher, has been married to Lynn for about four years. Lynn tells me they met at a music camp. While standing in the mess hall line, Lynn was sizing up the likelys and the unlikelys when she saw a blond, skinny legged young man who looked interesting. Those skinny legs conquer dll barriers, Mel. Pat: Mitch Forster. Mitch and his wife Rose have been doing it legally for six years. While dating, Mitch had the habit of always correcting Rose's English. She thinks he corrects her a lot — you should see my English papers. The head of the English department, Mitch also actively in student affairs. Albert: You mean Mitch is actively involved in student affairs. Pot: Albert, if I didn't know your last name, I'd swear you were ... Albert: Paulette Alvau. Paulette Alvau, whirlwind of a Social teacher and her husband, Nick, have been living together with a license for six and one-half years. Their's is a small-town romance. Except for one incident when they were at the drive-in and Paulette "ACCIDENTALLY" spilt soda in Nick's lap. Need I say more! Albert: Willie Mathis. Willie is Churchill's swinging band con­ductor. Willie and Sandra Mathis have been married' for over seven years. Sandra tells me she met Willie in Billings, Montana, when they were attending Eastern Montana College. They met in one of the most romantic areas on campus . . . the parking lot . . . Sandra was going with another fellow and unwittingly he introduced her to Willie. I guess it was the "best friend relieves the unknowning freshman of his girl­friend" caper. Pat: Pete Neufeld. Pete and Heather Neufeld have been married seven years in August. While both attending the U. of Alberta, Pete casually hinted that she could use his English notes if she ever needed them. Well, Heather belonged to a fraternity on campus and they happened to have a formal dance coming up. So, using the excuse that she needed his notes she went to see him at his apartment. Fully intending to ask him to escort her to the dance, she gathered up all her courage and said to Pete: "Would you like to go to our Fraternity dance?" Pete agreed that he would go and then piped up, "Should I bring a date along to the dance?" I'm sure Heather had second thoughts about him. Pete is a bit more aware of things in the athletic department. Teaching boys p.t. and coaching the Bulldogs keeps him on his toes as does his working side by side with nutty Anita Grant. Pat: Graeme Wigg. Graeme and Jeanette Wigg have been mar­ried nine years and he spices up his social studies lectures with his distinctly Australian accent. Jeanette tells us that while parked in a car in the wee hours of the morning — get INTRODUCTIONS this, on a beach in Australia, their car became stuck^ in the mud. They walked several miles to the nearest house for help to get them out. There they found a wild party going on but some of the men offered to help the embarrassed couple. Maybe Graeme could help Anita out with the sex education course. Pat: Wayne Terriff. Wayne is our sometimes loveable, sometimes not so loveable principal. He doesn't teach anything — come to think of it, I don't know WHAT he does. Wayne and his wife Beth have been married for nine years. The first set of dishes the Terriffs owned were Melmac, the unbreakable type. One night they made some toffee and placed it on one of the plates. The toffee got stuck and they couldn't get it off. So, Wayne took a hammer and tried to pound it off. With one mighty blow, he broke the unbreakable plate into smither­eens. I guess I underestimated Wayne's strength. Maybe he and Larry Holland should have an arm wrestle to determine Churchill's strongman — on staff, that is. Albert: Fred Hamilton. Fred Hamilton, and his wife, Florence, have been married for over 10 years. Fred is one of our many business teachers. Florence tells us she met Fred when she was working in a store and Fred came in to shop. I bet when he inquired to what she had, she replied, "what you see is what you get." It was love at first sight. Albert: Wendel Mills. Wendel Mills, renowned canoeist, teaches social and psychology. Linda and Wendel have been married for 10 years also. Linda tells me that when Wendel was in Grade 12, he was quite a little devil, getting himself expelled from school. When Momsy found out, she was so shocked that she attacked his principal with a plate of eggs but it seems only Wendel ended up with . . . egg on his face. Pat: That was terrible. Albert: I know. Next! Gary Shilladay. Gary is the art teacher at Winston. Gary and Arlene have been married for 11 years. Arlene told me that when they were courting in high school, Gary would phone her and ask her to go to the show. What he didn't say was Dutch. Gary, being a pool shark, often had his future wife behind the 8 ball by surprising her at the ticket office with "You pay First". Pat: Bill Langlands. Bill and Mel Langlands tied the marital knot a dozen years ago. During their courtship, an interesting little incident occurred. While they were out on a date, their car got stuck in some mud. Don't laugh Mr. Wigg, at least they weren't on a public beach. Being the heroic type, Bill got out of the car and told Mel to "Juice" the engine while he tried to push the car out. Not knowing how to drive, Mel promtly ran over Bill's foot and broke one of his toes. This painful injury doesn't seem to be bothering Bill these days. At least I've never seen him limp into a Math class. Albert: Colin Turner. Colin Turner is one of the French teachers at our school. He's been married to Irene for 16 years next month. Irene tells us they spent their honeymoon in Toronto. Colin wanted to see Niagara Falls so they drove 90 miles in the hot humid weather of southern Ontario. When they arrived, they gazed blissfully at the cataract. Thirty seconds later, Colin hopped in the car and said, "Let's go!". A real romantic excursion. Pat: Jim Anderson. J’im is our vice-principal and social studies teacher. Maybe he can tell me what Terriff does. Jim and Marilyn have been married for 17 years but Marilyn remem­bers well what happened frequently during their dating days. They were both going to college in Saskatoon, but they lived on opposite ends of town. After taking her home from a date, Jim would have to catch a certain bus home. While stretching out his farewells, he would often miss his bus and a brisk, five-mile walk awaited him. Albert, no wonder he's so punc­tual these days. Pat: Cliff Daw. Cliff, the male version of Ann Landers is a physics teacher. He and his wife Ruth have been married 19 years. While they were dating. Cliff was a grade 5 science teacher. Naturally becoming very involved with his students, and going to their level, he started building and flying kites with the kids. When Cliff and Ruth went to visit her parents in Medi­cine Hqt he took one large kite with him and flew it fre­quently during the visit. Poor Ruth's father didn't quite know what to think of his future son-in-law. Albert: Nick Patson. Nick is the other French teacher at Churchill. He has been married to Gerda for 23 years. The tale of how they became married is intriguing. Nick and Gerda met in West Germany where they were working for their countries at a High Commission Building. At this time, the country sponsoring Gerda was overrun by Communists and her pass­port began to expire. She would be forced to return and their marriage would never have taken place. Then our hero made a big decision. He would marry Gerda earlier than they planned so she could apply for a new passport. So, Nick got a young, beautiful bride and Gerda got a shiny new passport . . . and a husband, too. Albert: John Landeryou. John and Betty Landeryou have had the knot tied for a quarter of a century or 25 years, which ever came first. Betty met John in a Calgary restaurant when he was demonstrating one of his many athletic feats — his yo-yo. John used to be a yo-yo champ. I guess girls just can't resist muscle men. Pat: True, Albert, true. Pat: Nestor Hryvnak. Mechanical contraptions, machines and gadg­ets are Nestor's main interest and duties at Winston. The Hryvnaks have been married for 26 years and wife Anne relates this anecdote. Nestor was raised in the big city, while Anne was a small town girl. The first time she took him to her home town, Daysland, Alberta . . . Albert: 10 miles south of beautiful downtown Bawlf . . . Pat: he looked down main street and commented, "Gee, you walk two blocks and you're out of town!" Pat: Bill Kane. Then Kanes hold the record for longevity of mar­riage on the Churchill staff. They tied the knot back in 1945. Wife Dorothy asks if you ever wondered why Bill became a psychology teacher. Well, it's because he's been trying to figure out his wacky wife all these years — without much success. It's just that feminine mystique, Bill. Probably not found in psychology texts. Albert: As we mentioned, not all the teachers are hitched. There are still some swinging singles left on the staff. Two of them are here tonight and the other two are out swinging. They include Linda Dogterom, the Foods teacher and Rosalind Eichorn, shorthand and business machines teacher. For the two here tonight we have this to say about them: Albert: Lily Larter. Lily is Winston's versatile drama teacher. She puts up with terrible tens, endlessly lazy elevens and terrific twelves in her classes. She goes as far as to sacrifice her lunch periods to teach — a true patriot of the arts. Pat: Hans Bergen. Hans is our part-time chemistry teacher, full-time basketball scorekeeper. Hans' interests in our basketball teams dates back to his brilliant well-known coaching career in the HOOP capital of Canada — Grassy Lake. Pat: Larry Holland. It says here that Larry teaches drafting at Churchill but most of us know better. He is the champion and only bear hunter on the staff. Eat your heart out Mr. Langlands. Larry and his wife, Suzie have been married almost three years. While dating, they went skiing for their first time in West Fernie. Instead of tackling the little hill first, they went right up to the top of the big hill. Suzie was scared to come down but Larry thought nothing of it and took off quickly. The only thing was he didn't know how to stop. After narrowly missing trees and skiers on the way down, he did manage to stop — by plowing head first into a snow­bank. He was bawled out by the ski instructor who was probably a bit jealous of his unique (?) style. Pat: Dexter Bevans. Dexter and his wife have been married for five years. He is Churchill's shop teacher and he really buries himself in his work. Actually this is only the third time I've seen him this year. Mrs. Bevans tells us that when they were dating, Dexter had a hot 1956 Dodge. Dexter was rather a reckless driver, turning corners at high speeds. Whenever he did this, she would slide from the end of the seat right up next to him. When she mentioned this to him, he replied, "Of course, I waxed the seats!" Albert: Penny Dodd. Penny and husband Jim, have been mar­ried for six years. Penny teaches English and Literature at Winston. Jim tells us they met in the cafeteria out at the Community College. Penny and another girl sat at the table where Jim was eating and eventually he was forced to talk to them. Little did he know that would be the last time Penny would let him talk. Typical female. A
