Vic Argosy, Vol. 14, No. 4
VIC ARGOSY, March 1946 This Victoria High School (Edmonton, Alberta) student publication contains school news, announcements, and feature content. The issue includes results of a student popularity poll for Grade Ten girls and boys, awry voted on categories like "Best Hair," "Best Smile," and "Most Likely to Succeed." The Household Economics Club held a Valentine tea on February 15, featuring homemade pastries, knitted goods, and bedroom furnishings made by students. The editorial criticizes school board plans to build a small supplementary building rather than a complete new composite high school to address overcrowding. A profile features Lotta Dempsey, editor of Chatelaine Magazine and alumna of Victoria High, who visited Edmonton to organize Chatelaine Teen-Age Councils. The Music Club announced plans to present an operetta in March, a comedic parody about a grasshopper's demise. Graduating class officers were elected, with Ralph MacMillan chosen president. A humorous advice column titled "Dear Louie" (Part IV) describes a student's date to the Capitol cinema and a coding game with a friend. War Savings Stamps sales continue, with admission charged at school dances.
