BAA Under the ever watchful eye of Mr. Lobb, this year ' s executive consisting of Dick Beamish, president; Mike Driver, vice-president; John Smith, secretary; and Jim Howe, treasurer; suc- cessfully organized all the boys ' sporting acti- vities in the school. The BA has done splen- didly with the basketball teams and bantam foot- ball and they are especially proud of their new coaches, Mr. McKinney and Mr. Cooper. The BAA and GAA joined forces to prepare the now tra- ditional athletic banquet and the athletic nights. 1st ROW: Mike Driver, Dick Beamish, John Smith. 2nd ROW: Mr. Lobb, Jim Howe. U N CLUB The United Nations Club, a division of the Current Events Club, operates from September to January, under the sponsorship of Mr. Gordon. This year the Club had fourteen members and represented Lebanon in the Inter-Collegiate Model Assembly. Meetings were held with the other schools at Victoria College, every second Sunday afternoon and three Thursday evenings during December and January. The actual Assembly was held on January 19, 20 and 21 and was as successful as we had hoped. The officers were well chosen, and the operation was smooth. This was a year of change for the Oakwood Club. We became a more important part of the school s extra-curricular programme. We expand- ed both in size and field of interest and laid many plans for next year. Oakwood ' s delegation, because of the con- flict with the At-Home, did not participate as well as was expected. However, with more in- terested members next year, the club should have a good year. 1st ROW: Anne Thompson, Tammy Adaskin, Mr. Gordon, Cynthia Smith, Ruth Hershfield. 2nd ROW: Victor Hori, Bruce Lewis, Ted Miller, Wilf Neidhordt, Tony Cowan, Mike Lewis. CAPUT DANCE COMMITTEE Every Tuesday in room 319 there was to be heard the cracking of jokes, the eating of lunches and the popping of milk cartons. The Caput dance committee was meeting under the leadership of Dave Smith and Jim Howe. This group of twenty students has planned this year, the commencement dance Blue Heaven, the Sadie Hawkins, Candy- Cane Capers our Christmas dance, and the At- Home Evening in Paris. Lynda Watt struggled all year with reams of correspondence and the min- utes of the meetings. The treasurer, Marilyn Patterson, spent many hours trying frantically to keep us within our budget. Many thanks to all on the committee and to those not in it for their efforts and help in every possible way. Special thanks must go to Mr. Dunlevie, our staff sponsor who suffered through many anxious moments with us. 62

CAMERA CLUB The Camera Club is open to any member of OCI who has a keen interest in or wants to learn about photography. The club has thousands of dollars worth of equipment including cameras, light meters, tripods, flash units and a fully equipped dark room. There are two divisions in the club; junior and senior. After a beginner has a basic knowledge of photography and has acqui- red a certain amount of credits, he must write a test to become a senior member, and may then do more advanced work. We won the secondary school camera club contests both in the black and white, and colour slide divisions. The executive with Howard Freedman, president; Ed Friedberg, vice presi- dent; Joel Wilner, secretary and under the devo- ted sponsorship of Mr. Moore this year have taken the class pictures, the At-Home photos and al- most all of the photography in the Oracle. 1st ROW: Don Rogers, Howard Freedman, Mr. Moore, Ed Friedberg. 2nd ROW: Howard Saginur, Marty Friedberg, Abe Mudrick, Joel Wilner. 1st ROW: Phyllis Kopstick, Linda Kestenberg, Mr. Snell, Miss Yamasaki, Marlanna Mamula, Patty Spears. 2nd ROW: Howard Goldberg, Victor Hori, Alistair Hay, Chris Kitts, Howard White, Ted Miller. ORCHESTRA The instrumental music department has seen another successful year. The senior orchestra started the season off on the right note in its first public appearance, senior commencement. In January the senior orchestra played at an evening service in St. George ' s United Church; in February the band and junior and senior orches- tra competed in the Kiwanis music festival; in March our senior orchestra visited and performed in London, Ontario; in April it played host to a London band. For the climax of the music pro- gramme the instrumental music department con- tributed to the success of another Music Night. In all of these activities, Mr. Snell has been assisted by a new member on the instrumental music staff. Miss Yamasaki. She has taken over the leadership of the band and junior orchestra. There is an old saying that two heads are better than one; it has found verification in our accomp- lishments this year. CHESS CLUB In the past year the Oakwood chess club has continued on its glorious path of success. Mr. Stewart sponsored our club this year, since Mr. Perrin had left us for Bloor. The chess team con- sisting of Bruce Amos, Bob Hebdon, Richard Somogyi, Ernie Weinrib, Roy Wiseman, and Joseph Weinstock took part in the Toronto dist- rict chess championship with sixteen other sec- ondary schools and placed first. Officers of the club in the past year were Richard Somogyi, pres- ident, and Bruce Amos, secretar -treasurer. The members of the chess team now leaving Oakwood, sincerely hope that Oakwood ' s great tradition of chess will be carried on. 61
