I believe this is the best kind of preparation for able young people who want to find challenging and satisfying places in a free society. I frequently hear of Oakwood graduates who have achieved this kind of success — a bank pre- sident, a ranking diplomat, a top surgeon, to mention only a few. Scarcely a week goes by without one or more graduates dropping in at my office to say heUo, and tell me of his own progress toward success. The achievement of this purpose depends mainly on two factors: an able and dedicated staff of teachers, and students with a genuine interest in their own future and the future of the nation and of the world. Over the yearSjOakwood has been blessed with large numbers of able and ambitious students and in spite of frequently heard opinions to the con- trary, I believe that these numbers have never been larger than they are now. Remarks which I hear from graduates and in- terested outsiders lend weight to my opinion that the quality of the teaching staff has been and is exceptional. I mention particularly two, who, after giving long years of devoted teaching ser- vice to the students of this school, are retiring this year. Dr. A. S. Hardy Hill, Head of the Department of History, is considered by many competent judges to be the outstanding historian among Ontario Secondary School History teachers. Gen- erations of Oakwood graduates will continue to remember his Loom of Time , his uncompromis- ing honesty, and his love of learning. Mr. Gordon Hepburn, Head of the Department of Geography, is considered to be the outstanding geographer among Ontario teachers. Inspired by his example many students have become geogra- phers, and many others have been better inform- ed and better prepared to assume their respon- sibilities as citizens than they could have been without his help and guidance. These men, with their colleagues, and you the students of Oakwood are part of a long and proud tradition of scholarship, athletic achievement and service. Oakwood has been and is a great school. I leave Oakwood this year confident that it will continue to be a great school. My best wishes go with you. W. V. TOVELL. m BBLmwm MR. ANDREW MRS. ANDREWS MR. BANNISTER MRS. BROCK O. C I. 41 MR.

THREE MEN AND OAKWOOD (and the trials of a novice reporter) When I first heard that Mr. Tovell, Dr. Hill and Mr. Hepburn were leaving Oakwood, I was completely incredulous. An unutterable question flashed through my mind. What would Oakwood be like without them? It would be inconceivable to imagine Oakwood without the presence of these three figures gracing its halls. Why they were sacred institutions at Oakwood! After I had re- covered from my initial shock and had finally con- vinced myself that Oakwood would survive this crisis, I was dealt another staggering blow. I was asked to interview these three men and write this article. You can imagine the state I was in. Where was I to start? How could I possibly weave a co- herent article about three such different person- alities? (I was on the verge of asking Dr. Hill for the loan of his Loom). Well, that was many har- rowing weeks ago. Now, after burrowing through many stacks of old Oracles, barraging several teachers with foolish questions, and holding con- ferences with the three men themselves, I have finally unearthed enough information about them to start. So here are the stories of three men who together have dedicated a century of service to Oakwood. Mr. Tovell, otherwise affectionately called Big Bill , was born in Mount Forest, Ontario, and spent his public and high school years in Walker- ton, Ontario. After attending Teachers ' College at Stratford, Mr. Tovell began his career as a teacher and principal, first of a school in Mildmay, and then of a school in Kincardine. From there he entered the Mathematics and P hysics course at the University of Toronto where he was quite consistent in receiving first class honours. On graduating, he was awarded the James Loudon Gold Medal in Physics for ranking first in his class. The rest of his story takes place in the set- ting of Oakwood ' s halls, for he has dedicated his services to Oakwood since his arrival in 1930. He recalls his most memorable years as those he spent teaching upper school maths and physics because they brought him into closer contact with the students at Oakwood. During those years he was staff treasurer of the B.A.A., supervised the Cadet Corps, and was staff sponsor of the Six-Year Club. In 1947, Mr. Tovell was promoted to the Vice-principalship and in the course of the following years he col- laborated in writing two textbooks — Modern Physics for Secondary Schools and Physics, A Senior Course . Then in 1958 he became Principal and began to devote his full energy to making Oakwood what it is today. In the organizing of a successful school, he recognized the necessity for discipline and the backing of an excellent staff and he set about to put his philosophy into prac- tice. He chose wisely for Oakwood, and built up one of Oakwood ' s finest teaching staffs. Under his encouragement and watchful eye, Oakwood has grown to the athletic and academic status that it has today. Oakwood owes him much gratitude for his dedicated service. We thank this man who doth bestride the halls of Oakwood like a Col- ossus and say farewell. The second of the three veterans of Oakwood is Mr. Hepburn. Born in Kelowna B.C., Mr. Hepburn spent his public school years there, and then com- pleted his upper school at Guelph Collegiate. He graduated from the School of Practical Science at Toronto with a B.A.Sc. degree in electrical en- gineering. After attending the Ontario College of Education, he began his teaching career at Wes- ton, Ontario. He taught mathematics and was also Principal of Milton High School before teaching at North Toronto C.I.. Mr. Hepburn came to Oak- wood in 1930 when a transfer of pupils from North Toronto made it necessary to send two teachers here. He liked it so well that he joined the Oakwood staff. Since then, with the exception of five years in the Signal Corps and R.C.E.M.E. in World War II, Mr. Hepburn has been impart- ing the fundamentals of geography to the stu- dents at Oakwood. He has served Oakwood in many ways such as leading the Model Airplane Club and in making his work in geography so outstanding, that he is known far and wide as a leader in his field. In conjunction with his continuous reading and research in all aspects of geography, Mr. Hepburn is actively interested in such fields as mineralogy, astronomy and meteorology. In all these interests and in his chosen profession as a teacher, Mr. Hepburn displays the characteristics of an en- thusiast and a perfectionist. Students who have known him as a teacher may recall his lively ex- planations of his subject and his insistence on perfection in all their endeavours. Oakwood thanks Mr. Hepburn for all his services rendered in his twenty-seven years here and will miss the smiling keeper of the rock quarry. Last, but certainly not least, is Skipper , bet- ter known at Oakwood as Dr. Hill. Born in Point Edward, Ontario, Dr. Hill received his pubhc school education there, and his secondary school education at Sarnia Collegiate. His high school years were interrupted when he enlisted in the British Navy in World War I and served for two years in the naval service. After leaving Sarnia he attended Victoria College and upon graduating, continued his studies at O.C.E. He first joined the Toronto staff at Riverdale Collegiate, but then re- signed to study at Harvard. At Harvard he was awarded an I.O.D.E. scholarship to study for two years in England. He attended the London School of Economics and received his doctorate in Po- litical Science. Doctor Hill joined the Oakwood staff in 1933 and began his career at Oakwood as teacher, historian and organizer. Few people are aware that Dr. Hill was a physical education in- structor and a coach of the rugby and swimming teams. He showed his talents as an organizer Cont ' d on Page 35 MR. G. HEPBURN Environment and You Fit thyself into the environment that thou findest on earth, And love the men with whom thy lot is cast . (Marcus Aurehus) People who live in a rural community have an environment which is largely natural — fields, trees, hills and space, — where the stars shine at night. In the city the space is fiUed with buildings and streets — and with lights to turn night into day, — where the beauty of nature is often re- placed by ugliness. But in most countries the ur- ban growth is increasing, forming giant conurba- tions, while the proportion of rural population is decreasing. The famous architect Le Corbusier, considers the city the highest expression of civilization. In his design of Chandigarh, the city was made to conform to human needs — space, sun, nature and light. In 1960, the world had an estimated 3000 miUion people, and in the next 40 years, the number will rise to about 6000 miUion. More than half of these people live in Asia at a very low level of existence. When they become producers and consumers and gain freedom of movement, the competition and social pressures through the world will be not twice, but many times those at present. Prof. Jeffreys calls this age one of anxious confusion, with a mass culture which is manu- factured and synthetic . He says that there is now a polarization of mass media , which leaves little choice to the individual. Millions of people all read the same stories and see the same pictures, which is equivalent, in part at least, to mass pro- paganda. In brief, our environment has become very complex and unusable, and its future pattern is uncertain. Now what has aU this to do with you — a student at O.C.I. ? It means that the future world of your dreams, will not be the one you see around you now. It also means that the kind of training you receive today must be such, that you can ad- just yourself to the changing conditions. Both Aristotle and Plato considered education to be the best environment for the growth of young people. As a field cannot be fruitful wdth- out cultivation, neither can the mind without learning. (Cicero). The semi-educated person is an easy victim of social pressures. Learning with- out thought is useless, and thought vsdthout learn- ing is dangerous . (Confucius). No two people are alike, — yet all go through a similar educational training, and society expects them to conform to the same patterns of behaviour. Can you find a way to retain your freedom as an individual, in your thoughts at least, and at the same time play a useful part in your community and contribute to the betterment of humanity? This could be a happy compromise. It is a challenge, — the choice is yours. When you find the right course, foUow it with persistence, — for it was acedia that led Dante into darkness. S. H. Wood gives three tests for an educated man. 1. The pursuit of truth — can you entertain a new idea? But the environment is more than country and city — it is man himself with his complex social structure. It is here that the human drama is en- acted — government, education, manufacture and trade, communications, the arts, and recreation. It is also here that the greatest changes are taking place, — in cybernetics, new energy sources and space travel, which in a few years may make obsolete much of what we now see around us. Perhaps the population implosion presents the greatest problem of our changing environment. 8 2. The pursuit of goodness — can you entertain another person? 3. The pursuit of beauty — can you entertain yourself? A person so educated might indeed be unique, but he would certainly not be lost in the changing world of tomorrow. G. HEPBURN DR. A. S. H. HILL Your Brave New World — The Challenge! The world for which you are all preparing, into which you are about to enter, is a very strange one. Wherever you will look, in material or spiri- tual culture, you will have entered a period of grave crises which have stamped out private exis- tence as well as public life with the seal of unrest and insecurity. Some perceive in this phenomenon the presage of an era of grandiose progress, others the beginning of an ineluctable decline. As has been the case for a long time in religion and art, even in science, we can no longer find any principle which has not been called in doubt, no longer any absurdity which does not have any de- fenders. To such a degree is this true that it is permissible to ask if there is one truth that might be considered irrefutable and firm in the face of this universal scepticism. The sources of all knowledge, consequently the origin of all science resides in personal experience. This constitutes the immediate, the true reality, that can be conceived. You also apprehend through your sensory perception, either directly by the teaching of your masters, or the medium of great writings. Knowledge has no other sources. Granting an awareness of its pitfalls, and diffi- culties, the knowledge gained from History can be of infinite value in this world of kaleidoscopic patterns. In it you will find the Eternal Verities which can provide the guide so necessary in this era of creative flux. By the Eternal Verities is meant those basic principles which possess the merit for the capacity of reinterpretation through centuries of transcendant change in order to meet the needs of man ' s unchanging heart . Within Canada, your future is going to be very different from the past. La Belle Province lying to the East of us which has always been our neighbour, will be drawn closer to us by innum- erable ties, and it is to be hoped, chief of all, by the tie of a common understanding of each other. Self-interest does not bind peoples together. On the other hand sympathy and understanding do unite. You must prove yourselves their friends and champions, upon terms of equality and honour. Internationally, the challenge confronting you is even more formidable, and bewdldering in its complexity. Nations are simply the individual at large. Consequently, all the subtle variations of human nature play their roles for good and evil upon the international stage. The word interna- tional itself is only a hundred years old — too brief a space in which to assess its full signifi- cance and application. However, yours is a re- sponsibility there also. In its most familiar form, it is to be seen in Canada ' s role as a member state in the Commonwealth of Nations — each soverign in its own capacity. In fifty years, 1914-1964, this association has evolved from a British Empire into a Common- wealth of Sovereign States in which the British are a relatively small minority. Conditions created by World War I called for re-interpretation of the British connection on the basis of the twin prin- ciples of Equality and Honour. Subsequent events evolved the principles of prior consultation by member states when their policies would affect the interests of other members. Again, after World War II of this twentieth century, the principles binding our Commonwealth revealed their vitality by a re-interpretation more in keeping with the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. This re- cent interpretation has drastically altered its mem- bership and character. It is no longer a British but has become the Commonwealth of Nations, unique in world history as a practical operating United Nations. Great Canadians in those days accepted the challenge of their times. They played the vital roles in creating this Commonwealth of Sovereign States with its diverse races with a mul- tiplicity of tongues and creeds, who can live to- gether by settling their differences in peace. What will be your response to the challenge of an ever flexible Commonwealth? Inspired by the lethal imphcations of man ' s newly acquired powers of Annihilation, a new international organization has arisen. Phoenix-Uke from the ashes of the old, the United Nations Organization and its specialized Agencies present the supreme challenge for your support. The United Nations headquarters in New York is po- litical in its organizations and functions. The specialized Agencies with their respective world Cont ' d on page 35 CO - EDITORS BRUCE SINGLETON MARISA CASTELLARIN EDITORIAL Ever since the beginning of time, man has en- deavoured to improve his lot on this earth. Such an attempt is called progress . At the dawn of history, man made clothes to protect himself, fire to warm himself and so on. Throughout the centuries he has made many in- ventions to build and construct more efficiently. Progress is the steam engine, the Morse Code, the telephone and the many other discoveries which have been made down through the years. In our own country of Canada we have progres- sed in various fields, to_ a certain amount. Pension schemes, unemployment insurance, and other legislation have helped those in the country who are in need of assistance. By seUing wheat to Communist countries, Canada is helping to break down the barrier of hatred and suspicion between Communism and the Western World and makes progress toward world peace in this small but helpful way. In Toronto, such plans as the Regent Park De- velopment scheme are destroying the slum areas in order to improve living conditions. Various buildings such as offices, apartments, schools and colleges are being erected to stem the tide of people coming into the city and people who want education. This, too, is progress. You, the structure of Oakwood, are, in a small way, involved in the idea of progress . You have come here to receive your Secondary School Edu- cation after which you will go on to a vocational or university career. Oakwood itself has, naturally, progressed a great deal. Over the past years, the school ' s popu- lation has greatly increased, new teachers have arrived and the school is bigger and better equip- ped. In reference to its academic and extra-cur- ricular activities, Oakwood has advanced to the point where it now reigns supreme over all the other high schools in Toronto. This, indeed, is progress. However, there is also a darker side to this idea of progress. Progress is also gunpowder, the atomic bomb and guided missiles. The dreaded possibility of thermonuclear warfare is suspended, as a sword held by a thin string, over us, ready to descend on the slightest miscalculation. In spite of great efforts, millions of people still go to bed starving. Murder and hatred increase in intensity. The reply to the desire of one man for equality for all people was seen in Dallas, Texas. To the students of Oakwood and especially to the graduating class, may you complete what John F. Kennedy could not: The great unfinished tasks of achieving peace, justice, and understand- ing among all men and nations and of ending misery and suffering wherever they exist . B.

THE PRESIDENT ' S REPORT During the 1963-64 school term, Oakwood had many victories which are well covered in the rest of the Oracle. Another victory was that Caput be- came the efficient, product ive team that the stu- dent council should be. Previous councils with over 60 members were so large as to become inefficient. For this reason they were losing support. Bruce Lewis, Caput President in 1961, predicted The Caput that begins work in September 1963 will be radically different from that one that be- gan in 1960 . This statement was confirmed to such a degree in 1963 that I am sure that Bruce would be surprised with the difference. Bruce ' s council was made up of a representative from every form and a representative from every club. This system worked well while Oakwood had 700 students, but by the time the new wing was finish- ed and our population passed 1000 their council had become unwieldy. The next year experienced non-violent revolu- tion. The newly elected executive resigned be- cause of lack of support from the students, and a new system evolved under the chairmanship of Frank Somogyi. Caput was made up of a few grade representatives and club representatives. Bruce Lewis made many recommendations for council which have been put into effect. Grade and club representation has cut down the burden of too many members with a result that this year ' s council was more efficient. By having a teacher ' s committee distribute the funds to the various or- ganizations, many wasteful hours of debate were avoided and a fair distribution of funds was ac- complished. Council accepted their recommenda- tions after very Uttle debating. The Oracle prob- lem was solved by raising the activity fee to the level of other high schools, and giving everyone an Oracle. The grade nines were informed by the vice-president, during their guidance period, of our student council. This step alone has strength- ened. Caput. During 1963-1964 different council proceedings were tested but an informal use of Robert ' s Rules of Order proved to be the best method of conduct- ing Caput meetings. The clubs brought their pro- posals before council until a new constitution was prepared. A class constitution also has been drawn up. These two documents may seem to over-organ- ize the school, but, in order to keep up its strength, Oakwood must be organized to a class level as well as a school level. During 1963-1964 I have chaired the meetings with this definition of Caput in the back of my mind, Caput is a meeting place for student and club representatives to organize and co-ordinate their individual programmes for the benefit of the student body . Everyone of the victories or events that Oakwood experienced in 1963-1964 was due to the co-operation and work of the clubs. These clubs or organizations, working together, have made Oakwood the giant it is this year. But only by th is mutual co-operation will Oakwood remain the giant it wants to be. In closing, I would like to thank Hymie Shustik and Mary Walton-Ball for the countless hours they devoted to Caput in 1964. I would also Uke ' to thank Mr. Tovell, Mr. Hobbs and all of the teachers for not only co-operating with, but guiding coun- cil in 1964.

SENIOR COMMENCEMENT JUNIOR COMMENCEMENT While the Orchestra played the traditional Academic Occasion , solemn figures marched down the aisles and on to the stage of Oakwood ' s auditorium. It was November 6th, and the Senior Commencement had begun. After the report, the honourable William G. Da vis addressed the graduates. Following the valedictory by Florence Silver and a selection by the orchestra, scholarship win- ners were recognized. After the choir selection there followed the presentation of awards to the honour graduates and of merit pins awarded by the Student Council. To finish a grand evening, a dance was held in the gym. 14 A separate grade twelve commencement was held on December 9th. Mr. Brooks spoke to the graduates and pointed out that, as head of the Classics department, he would have come arrayed in his Roman toga if the other teachers had not been jealous. His witty and memorable address was enjoyed by the entire audience. After interesting selections by the choir and concert band and the presentation of secondary school graduation diplomas, there followed awards to the middle and lower schools. In order to let the evening be a complete success, a dance was held in the games room. . ' ■-£ ' ' .■ • y«.

Everyday scientists aU over the world are making important discoveries, and advances are being made constantly in space travel. Consequently, what was thought impossible only a few years ago has be- come reahty today We need only look around us to see the face of the world changmg; new subdivisions, apartment buildings and factories stand now where only trees and grass grew not too long ago. Coming closer to home, here at Oakwood many things have changed since we came 5, 6 or even 7 years ago The old-fashioned , ill-equipped, and overcrowded O.C.L of old has been transformed into a modern well-equipped, but still overcrowded school. The enrolment has doubled since we came, as have the number, though not the duration of our lunch periods. The dull, navy, velvet auditorium curtains of yore have been replaced by the epitome of brightness and gaiety you see before you. I cannot let this occasion pass without giving credit to Mr. Tovell, ou r illustrious principal, who made the selection of these drapes personally and without feminine assistance. I could go on forever, mentioning the new footbaU field, the stands in the swimming pool, the port- ables which multiply like rabbits and the new stands in the athletic field, which have not as yet been buUt. But, although so many things have changed here at Oakwood, there are some things which wiU never do so, among them the images we take with us of those people who have so greatly affected our Uves — our teachers. For instance, we will long remember Dr. Hill as t he creator of the famed and revered Loom of Time , which has graced the side board in room 317 for as many years as most Oakwoodites can remem- ber, and will probably continue to do so for a good many more, although the warp and the woof wiU continue to grow. . I doubt if time will ever wear away our image of Mr. Young, as the Don Juan of the chemistry lao, always attracted by pretty young female chemists whether they be choking in hydrogen sulfide fumes or merely breaking pyrex test tubes. However, some of us will probably remember Mr. Young even better as the fearsome warden of room 119 in his daily rendezvous at 8:30 a.m. with the criminal element ot Oakwood. If we do not remember Mr. Lobb for his outstanding performance as the judge in iriai oy Jury we will certainly remember him as the dutiful and unfailing custodian of the stretcher, in his self- less efforts to aid macerated football heroes. I think it is only fitting that my final victim be Mr. McDonald, whose talents vary from setting a special 3 hour English exam, which contained, by mere coincidence, an almost exact duplicate of a question which appeared later on the departmental exam, to wnUng bril- hant satire. By this brilliant satire, I am of course referring to the extravaganza performance. The tive Year Stretch, written, produced, and directed by Mr. McDonald, and starring the staff of O.C.I. Because of Mr. McDonald, we saw ourselves as the teachers see us. For this we will always remember, if not for- give, Mr. McDonald. These are but a few of the unchangingimages we will recall of the immortal figures who made up the world of Oakwood. Another thing that hasn ' t changed at Oakwood is the high standard of education which she upholds. I th ink at this point I should give a definition of a good education, this being the disciphmng ot tne 16 VALEDICTORY (CONT ' D) mind and character through study and instruction, in academic subjects, the broadening of cultural knowl- edge and the development of good moral principles. For 53 years, Oakwood has maintained its standard of excellence not only because she has an excellent teaching staff, but because this staff has instilled in the students the will to learn and has helped them to reahze the satisfaction to be gained through the pur- suit of knowledge. We were encouraged to explore and extend the fields of our knowledge by doing extra work on our own time, and not be satisfied to know the bare essentials to pass an examination. This extra interest marks the difference between the average student and the good student. The records of past achievements of Oakwood students prove my point that Oakwood is not satisfied with producing aver- age students, but strives to produce good students who have inquiring minds and the will to learn and broaden their outlooks. An essential part of our education at Oakwood public school and came to Oakwood, we were subject unreasonable demands. But, as the years passed, this ponsibilities and exercise an appreciable amount of regularly by the teachers who threatened us with homework, but by the time we reached grade 13, w our noses in books, even when we would much rather discipline of early years was transformed into trust was discipline. When we left the care-free days of ed to what we felt, at the time, were harsh and even discipline was relaxed and we began to accept res- self -discipline. In grade nine, we were checked on all sorts of dire punishments if we didn ' t do our e were expected to have enough self -discipline to bury have done something less trying. Thus the strict and confidence in the later years. The role of extra-curricular activities at Oakwood was two-fold. First of all, through the various extra activities we were given the opportunity to develop ourselves as well-rounded individuals and as good citizens. This was achieved through activities like the Masquers, the Oracle, Choirs, Orchestras, and Bands. The experience of being in one of these groups, or just watching and listening to them was in- valuable, for the calibre of performance achieved by these organizations resulted in their winning or ranking very high in city-wide and province-wide competitions. In effect, everyone at Oakwood was given the opportunity to enjoy culture by either participating in, or attending Theatre Nights, Simpson ' s Drama Festivals, Music Nights and Kiwanis Festivals. From the activities of Caput, its various committees, the U.N. Model Assembly and the Current Events Club, we learned about government and world affairs, and we developed principles which will undoubtedly affect our future Uves. The interest taken by Oakwood students in trying to help their fellow men is evidenced all over the world. Here, in Toronto numerous organizations are assisted in their beneficial services through don- ations given by Oakwood — more than $2000 collected annually through our weekly Penny Collections. This summer, a thousand pounds of books were shipped to Northern Nigeria to help educate the children there. These books were collected by the students in an Outweigh Mr. Tovell contest, and if you hadn ' t already guessed, Mr. Tovell didn ' t quite match the weight of the books! A few years ago, Oak- wood ' s interest was felt in Japan when we helped build the Hiroshima Peace Library there. Our contri- bution is recognized on the plaque in the library and this is something Oakwoodites are very proud of. Thus we at Oakwood took the first steps in becoming useful citizens in society. The other role extra-curricular activities played in our Lives, was teaching us to accept responsibilities and display good sportsmanship. Membership in any club entailed responsibility, hard work and many long hours of planning and rehearsing. Participation in competitive activities, whether in football or basket- ball games, or music or drama competitions, taught us to be good sportsmen. We were brought to reahze that knowing that we had done our best was far more important than winning. Because these activities are for the most part carried on before and after regular school hours, they are called extra-curricular but in fact, they are an integral part of our education. In the classroom we concentrate on the development of our minds; it was, however, outside the classroom that we developed many other important aspects of our character. Thus our education here was broadly-based, and al- though we are no longer a part of Oakwood, Oakwood is still a part of us. Now, we are gathered here as a group for the last time. Some of us are taking the road to higher learnmg, others of us the path to the business world and still others taking the road to the altar. Which ever path we choose, we are better equipped to achieve real success because of the years spent here at Oakwood. Many years from now, when this evening is just a vague memory, the training we received at Oakwood will still be a working force in our Lives. For in these five years, we have estabhshed friendships, principles and goals and the course of our Lives will follow the patterns we have been forming in these last five years. The debt we owe Oakwood is beyond measure. We can only hope to start repaying it by hving up to the ideals and standards set for us and becoming useful and good citizens. I am greatly honoured that I was given the opportunity to say on behalf of the graduating class of 1963, thank you Oakwood and Farewell.

Ronauoshom RICHARDSON, BOND WRIGHT LIMITED Lithographers printers bookbinders Owen Sound Toronto Montreal Sidney Ackerman: Among other things Sid has been Oakwood ' s very own Yascha Heifetz during his music career in grade 9 and 10. He has participated widely during his career et Oakwood. Among his varied activities are basketball, basketball, basketball and sometimes for variety a little basketball. He has been both our Junior and Senior Basketball Teams. Sid has an uncanny aversion to flunking exams. His future lies in accountancy. Bruce Amos: To find Bruce ' s past activi- ties, let the past be (Ei) Therefore, Ei i= the chess club, the orchestra. Welfare Com- mittee, swim team, cross-country and gym team. Bruce dislikes people who compli- ment him on his work for actually he does not like studying. He had difficulty collecting in 13F Wednesday morning but vje hope that a few years in M.P.C. will teach him how to add. Rosalind Adier: Roz has been an avid musical acorn since grade nine. She has participated in both Junior and Senior Orchestra. Passing time in past time is her pastime, she tells me, but she really means that her pastime is passing time, naturally. Roz hates getting up for school in the morning and her future is obtain- ing her Senior Matric in ' 64 and attending the U. of T. John Angel: His friends all agree that his presence at O.C.I, indicates England ' s loss and Canada ' s gain. John enjoys pretend- ing that he is passing exams (reality?) We might also add that he makes quite an impressive rag-picker. The future will see him entering the Ontario College of Art and then the intrigues of rag-picking and the world. Solly AdIer: Solly was in the cadet band long ago but soon after he joined, the band was abolished. The remainder of his past is very obscure. He is looking for- ward to getting out of Oakwood as soon as possible. Elisabeth Ainslie: From the first Liz has been an art student ( they couldn ' t think of anything else to do with me. ) Liz is forever complaining that time flies when you don ' t want it to — and doesn ' t when y ou do. Her future is England and France . . . and che sera, sera. Her pastimes are— well, she told me what they were and made me promise not to tell. Fred Armstrong 13F: Fred has made not- able contributions to 13F this year— by way of his treatise on Hamlet and his eye-opening delivery. In his 15 years of school, he has lived by this code; Ask not what your teachers can do for you but what you can do to them! Next year, Fred intends to enter Commerce and Fin- ance, then Bay Street (used car lots), and Parliament. Carol Baker: Carol has taken part in the Jr. and Sr. Choir, I.S.C.F., and the Annual Show. Being late for first class, because of the speedy street car and bus drivers, seems to be becoming more of a habit — the snow that is. Next year she will carry on her tradition by being late for her Gen- eral Arts course at York or University of Toronto. Carole Aitken: In her years at O.C.I. Carole has become quite experienced in collecting money for overdue l ooks and playing the French horn for the Concert Band and Sr. Orchestra. Since she ' s such a gourmet she is fascinated by Butter- scotch sundaes. Her future after O.C.I, is nursing or teaching. John Barbowski: John ' s past at O.C.I, in- cluded Junior and Senior Choirs (four en- joyable years with Mr. Davison), Bantam and Junior Football Teams, baseball and of course, AAarilyn, Carol, etc. . . At the moment he considers himself a bum and escorts Marilyn and SKarorv, when not indulging in pool. In the future he will pursue Sciences and Maths of U. of T., Sharon and pool. i Jim Allen: I don ' t know too much about Jim and from what he says, I don ' t think he does either. He ' s been in the Jr. and Senior Choir. Jim ' s idea of enjoyment is knocking white pellets into holes in the ground. His pet peeves are bunkers, water hazards and out of bounds. His aspiring future is an ace on a two hundred yard par three. I certainly hope it ' s golf he ' s talking about. Janet Barnsley; English class would be quite dull without Janet ' s eloquent argu- ments. In the future she plans to become a great playwright and present even more eloquent arguments. Janet tries to con- centrate on a psychological attitude but is frequently being interrupted to pass notes from Carlo P. to Sophia L 20 .. ;•%« • v S ' - ii ' .isw «. rf.v - ri «r; laurence Barret: Chip seems to be a rather quiet and reserved individual. He is an im- port from Upper Canada College, but de- clares that he likes Oakwood, especially the girls. Chip enjoyed playing on the football team, and we Oakwoodites cer- tainly agree that his contribution was most valuable. Harry Berholz: I remember with delight: my career as a drummer in the cadet band; with satisfaction; my part in organizing Oakwood ' s book drive ' 63- ' 64; with dis- may: my four, yes four unsuccessful at- tempts at making the school basketball team; with pride: my two championships in intramural sports; with great joy; my successful performance as part of the Odd Quartet at Oakwood ' s own Hoote- nanny. Alan Bernstein: Included in Alan ' s past are the Jr. and Sr. Orchestra, Chamber Or- chestra, Swim Team, Oracle, Caput, B. G. C. and Bowling. Besides Grade 13, Alan was forced to listen to Steve Reeve ' s jokes and decipher Armstrong ' s precious notes of wisdom. Nevertheless, our hero con- tinues to be King of the Cues and has already turned down offers to play Mas- coni on TV in favour of continuing his education in snooker at Florida University. Norman Bracht: Because he has learned his English good . Norm is beginning a great career at O.C.I, after an unknown one at Upper Canada College. Active only outside of class, Norm is trying to twinkle the twines for the O.C.I. Sr. hockey squad. Next year Norm is planning to tal e a business course at the University of Western Ontario. Beverly Bradshaw: Beaver, also a German vocalist has participated in the Jr. and Sr. Choirs, interform sports, the Annual Show, and Masquers. Her pet peeve is auditorium days when they don ' t warn you beforehand that they aren ' t going to play the Queen . Her favourite pastime is studying more and enjoying it less. She intends to be a pencil sharpener in a bal l- point pen company. Jim Brickman: Jim has kept himself busy making friends with several of his teach- ers. Often they refused to do things his way and insisted that he spend several mornings in R.-119. When Jim came to Oakwood, Jim Reid told him to take the desk nearest the door, because then he ' d be out first. Six years later, Jim is de- dicating his life to find a way to get Jim Reid out of Oakwood. Debbie Binnie: Debbie has come to us this year from Havergal where she spent 5 years from grades eight to twelve. Past- imes? — piano, guitar, T. V., swimming, skiing at Collingwood, and generally loaf- ing. Her pet peeve is people who claim that they haven ' t studied for a test and somehow manage to scrape through with ninety percent . She hopes either to enter Nursing at Royal Vic Hospital or McGill University, both in Montreal. Lillian Burrit: Lillian ' s main activities at Oakwood include Inter-School Christian Fellowship, Jr., Sr. and Girls ' Choirs, Aqua Shows, Junior leaders and sports. What annoyed her most was qualifying for the cheerleading team and then failing her year, and Lillian, run on your toes, you sound like a flat-footed cow! She grad- uates with the hope of becoming a teacher, if she is able to develop the patience, and taking her knowledge to India. Howard Bloomberg: Howard has several ear-aches: boring French classes; why people wake him up; AAath classes in which he can ' t fall asleep. His solemn declaration reveals that his stay at Oakwood has been the best years of his life. Howard hopes to enter Pharmacy at U. of T. (in other words: not definite). Andy Bolikovac: Andy is a member of J.P.C.AA. This lovable fellow, with a scheming mind, toiled for one year and returned to O.C.I, for repose. He is in- fatuated with skiing and is doing quite well. The most unfortunate aspect of Andy ' s existence is — in spite of his twenty years, his terrible fear of girls (?), although he enjoys chiding them about their overlong skirts. His future is un- certain but bound to be interesting. William Burritt: Bill, being the extremely modest fellow that he is, was quite re- luctant to talk about himself. Therefore, after 6 ' 2 hrs. of telling us about his heroic past I had to cut him short. He ' s been in the Oakwood Choirs, I.S.C.F. and class president for 2 years. His future is B.A. and B.D. at the U. of T. or McMaster. Nothing in life really bothers Bill. How- ever, I think this will be an exception. Margaret Cameron: AAarg, besides choir has been involved with Bill in various ways. Her home away from home is the restaur- ant. She always seems to make it to school by two minutes to 9. She dislikes the snow because it ' s cold and wet, and as for her future, I ' m afraid it ' s not the sort of thing she ' d allow me to publish, so we ' ll just have to keep it a secret. 21 Ella Casey: Ella is an import from St. Joseph ' s College and so it is not surpris- ing when she declares that she finds it strange to be out of uniform. Since she has come to Oakwood, she has developed a phobia for climbing stairs. Ella has hopes of being an export from Oakwood, this year. Good Luck] Mike Chrus: Four years at Oakwood, Jr. and Sr. choirs, cadets and getting in and out of trouble comprise Mike ' s past. Ac- cording to Mike he is now in his fifth year at O.C.I, (now let ' s see you do it this time without your fingers, Mike). Mike plans to go into semi-retirement at Oakwood for the next four years then some course at the U. of T. Tony Cowan: Lover ' s favourite pastimes are spending time with a certain blonde, guitar - ing, folk - singing, jazz - digging, sleeping-on and goofing-off. Tony is a musical nut who speaks CSerman. His extra-curricular activities consist of toot- ball, swimming, track-ing. Choir, U. N., Current Events and Library Club. Pet peev- es—A certain blond who always tickles him and the parents of that certain blond — who also tickle him? His future is U. of T. and Kay. Gary Dean: Gary has shown prowess in junior and senior football and in hockey. When asked for a pet peeve, he declared: Acrobatic hockey players who are a chip off the old block. Future is unknown. Leigh Cline: Leigh seems to have made every band — the Concert, Cadet and Sr. Orchestra (except the Salvation Army which is saving him for the folk Idiom). He ' s been on the Dance Committee, at the Purple Onion, Penny Farthing, Gates of Cleveland, The Village. He views with distaste stale coffee. Bob Dylan ' s mnoey, and commercial folk singers. Future— be- coming a rich folk singer and writing better songs than Bob Dylan. Sandy Dennison: Sandy has been a mem- ber of the Sr. and Girls ' Choirs, G. A. A. executive, Jr. and Sr. Volleyball teams, Sr. Basketball team, Physorama and the Bad- minton set. Her pastimes — teaching Vera to water ski and hiding from Mr. Dunn. Her pet peeve — You can have my skel- eton when I ' m dead, sir, not before. Her future is U. of T. and onward as Mayor of Toronto. We ' re all behind you, Sandy; just don ' t look back. Mary Helen Conlin: After hearing such wonderful reports of Oakwood, Mary Helen just had to leave Loretto Abbey, and their Glee Club and basketball team will never be the same. We soon hope to see her smile into the television cameras as she performs a major operation at one of Toronto ' s Hospitals. Regina Diedrich: Our past Miss Blue Gold and Miss Oakwood is a girl with a Pepsodent smile. She is constantly being aggravated by Sheldon but her tee hee ' s and giggles show that she doesn ' t really mind. Marianthi Constantinu: Marianthi is an im- port from Venezuela where she attended Colegio Maria Auziliadora de los Teques. Her pet peeve is Mr. Wright ' s physics class. Marianthi ' s loves are varied. They include her Sunbeam Sports Car, Elvis, calipso-dancing, architecture which she plans to take at U. of T., and trips back to Venezuela. James S. Drennan: Jim was in the cadet corps at O. C. I. for four years. He was a Canadian army regular for one year and then came back to Oakwood. His pet peeve are people who cut up the army and Mike Chrus. He views his future as a Canadian army regular in the Royal Roads, (and then a pacifist??). f Dan Cook: Dan ' s past is locked for time immemorial midst the treasures of anti- quity, or simply — he forgot! Dan ' s pet peeve is that protoplasmic being which preceded his essence, or simply, life! Dan ' s future Is hidden deep midst the auguries of the prophets, or simply, he doesn ' t know — he ' s not there yet. Gary Eisen: Nominated as the student most likely to succeed by one out of the two students in Oakwood. Gary combined those qualities of quiet genius and humil- ity during his stay at Oakwood. History will describe him as one of Oakwood ' s finest; for he did to Oakwood what Salk did to polio. Let us ask three Students for their opinions of him. G. E. — Honour having him in Oakwood. G. Elsen — A odel Student . Gary E. — Oakwood will never be the same. ri v5 ■j,- cr VI 1 ml , 4 22 Anthony Ferlisi: His past was addicted to honour. In English he contributed to dis- cussions with interesting remarks. At the moment he is unsure of the future, but hopes it Tony. be goodi Well, good luck. Bryce Fisher: Bryce has spent his intern- ment at O.C.I, as a member of the Welfare Committee, Current Events Club, Student Council, Geneva Park Conference, Greek Class, Concert Band, Student Exchange Program and the Camera Club. Bryce is a notable product of our capitalist sys- tem and resents being asked about his mark (x) s. His future will be in the R.C.- M.P., questioning his friends at the U. of T. about their mark (x)s. Ralph Frisch: Ralph ' s favourite phrase is I disagree. He has taken part in the Book Collection of 1963 64 and continu- ally looks forward to the future. Miss Warren was his French teacher for three years and then poof . Let ' s hope that Ralph gets through his Soc. and Phil, course at U. of T. without another poof. Susan Gaby: It has all been great fun- meaning of course: Junior and Senior Orchestra, swimming, G.A.A, . and watch- ing people rise to fame and glory. Sue gets to school occasionally at nine but has had her eight-thirties. She dreads decisions but loves hot-rodding it to school a velo ou a le jolly U. of T. or MacMas- ter, and of course those inevitable decisions. Paul Fortune: Paul displayed his musical talent when he sang in the junior choir. However, he later abandoned that for a senior football career. To make his life more exciting, he will join the navy or enter Forestry at U. of T. Judy Garfinkel: Hi, J. G. You thought you would be called Judy Farginkel, didn ' t you? Judy has sung with the Jr. and Sr. Choir, played with the Concert Band and Sr. Orchestra and acted with the Masquers. Next year she will attend U. of T. and continue to focus her thoughts on a certain artist. Bob Francis: For recreation Bob played Jr. Sr. Football, was on the swim team and Dance Committee. Bob ' s pet peeves: Class presidents who don ' t tell you when pictures are being taken; People who don ' t appreciate him, and girls who mis- take him for Steve Reeves. Bob intends to give his body away to medicine— may- be they can find what ' s wrong — other- wise he ' ll be basket-weaving at Florida State or U. of T. Elaine Gay: Elaine tries to convince every- one that she did not sing flat in the Jr. and Sr. Choir and she did try to win the intramural volleyball games. Anger pre- vails when she opens the door for herself but has a thousand other people rush through. Her parents think she is going to train at Western General but she is really going to chase interns. Dave Franklin: Dave participated in the Jr. and Sr. Orchestra, as well as the Con- cert Band. He tried some athletic en- deavours but found out that they re- quired work. He enjoys school very much, but wishes that the bell would ring more quietly. He dislikes people who make fun of his school spirit. After all someone has to keep a certain type of man employed. He plans to go to U. of T. David Giles: David has kept himself busy during his five years at Oakwood by par- ticipating in the Jr. and Sr. Choirs and by doing homework, more homework, and most homework. He ' s sorry he ' s leaving Oakwood for one reason— Mike Chrus (isn ' t everybody?) However, leave Oakwood he must, for his future beckons and he must take his place in society as an educated bum. William Franklin: Bill, during his year at Oakwood, has had a pretty varied past. He played percussion in the Orchestra, and Concert Band. Also he has been an active member on the junior and senior football, gym, and pushball teams. To top all this Bill was vice-president on the student council. Bill has modest hopes for the future, he hopes to be in the Ivy League and be Premier of Ontario. Gerry Goldberg: Gerry was a great par- ticipator in the ranks of O.C.I.: gym team, fainting team, cadet corps, dance committee, bench-warmer, junior basket- ball. Blue and Gold Committee, master of revels in the Horace fan club. A self- evaluation reveals Gerry as a veteran of the seven years war (at O.C.I.). He hopes to be Thomas A. Dooley II. 23 Lynn Golding: Lynn spent past years plink, plank, plunking in the Junior Or- chestra, and making like the back end of a horse of Physorama ' 62 63, and being an ever trusty G.A.A. rep. She will go to Teachers ' College then become a wealthy globe-trotter. Until then she will attempt to stir up more school spirit in O.C.I, students. Paul Gould: Paul ' s go(u)lden past consists of playing in the Jr. and Sr. Orchestras, contributing his talents to the Jr. Football Team and Blue and Gould Committee, as well as finding time to walk the halls at noon hour. Because he ' s constantly com- plaining about the high cost of dying, he intends to become a mortician and begin a lively discount funeral parlor called Honest Gould The Ghoul . Christine Gnoinski: Her favourite pastimes are skating, guitar, Mario Lanza and eat- ing while studying. When I asked her what her pet peeve was, she threw this at me. Aber yah! du bist wie eine schone Blume!!! Her future is Nursing at T.G.H. or F.N. S.N. , the American Hos- pital in Paris, and then the armed forces, (secret weapon against Red China). On second thought perhaps the Sheriff of Naught ingham could use her services, — he ' s been having trouble collecting taxes lately. Edward Gural: Ed was a refugee of Har- bord C.I. and was a member of the drum and bugle corps. He enjoys hopping down to Florida where (as he claims) the booze keeps him warm when it is slightly cool. U.C.L.A. ' s honorary course In cherchez les femmes will have one more scholarship student. Janice Guy: While at O.C.I. , Jan was the chairman (woman) of the noon-hour tea- party and the promoter of cereal dis- cussions. She was busy fighting off small, red-haired and tall, dark-haired monsters. She ' s bound to have good exercise with those sneaky interns at Florence Nightin- gale. Need any Protection Jan?? GOOD LUCK!! Warren Haller: Another member of the sing along with the choir group, but this one is partial to good folk-singing groups . When not playing football, hockey or running the 100 yard dash, he found time to do some homework. A boy with- out a pet peeve, he loves everybody. His Intentions are to take physical education at U. of T. and of course to continue folk- singing. Stanley Grabawski: I will always cherish my memories of Oakwood. With academic excellence as its goal, I will forever re- member my education, in more ways than one, at Oakwood. Early morning sectionals and the annual cadet inspection will al- ways bring back pleasant thoughts. How- ever, one memory will upset me. I wish Oakwood would provide more comfort- able seats with the new desks. My spinal cord is beginning to straighten. Helena Hawrysle: Into my gallery of nut- ty works, I donate a nosy librarian, un- predictable Oracle form-news editor, a misused voice from choir, a set of C aput secretarial meetings, and Man-Tan stolen from Gord Shioml. In the funny future, I ' ll help Anne with her Math, train John for the Ice Follies, return Rick Mori ' s foot- ball sweater, and comb the U. of T. chemistry lab to find out why poisonous NoF ' is an insecticide. Leslie Griesdorf: Les spent all his high school life at Oakwood and hopes to graduate this year! At U. of T. he plans to go into Dents. His past at O.C.I, hasn ' t been too exciting but enjoyable. Les was Oracle Rep. for two years and did man- age to get out for track and field in his spare time. He Is glad to be a fellow OAKWOOD ITE . Eric Hennessey: Over the years Eric has had many stimulating conversations with Mr. Snell, Mrs. Kumagai and Mr. Hobbs. He has expended his energies for several years hitting people with his head, stand- ing on his hands, and going back and forth, up and down, and around in circles. The future however is hazy— So I hope everyone ' s efforts to educate him will continue on his behalf. Hans Grundmann: This refugee came to O.C.I, in 1963 from Bloor C.I. Although he protests he likes this school, he will be very happy to leave upon graduating. A great obstacle to this will be the two comics of 1 3E, who certainly give the ordinary dull school subjects some colour. After his departure he will enter Aero- nautical Engineering at U. of T. Paddy Horner: This dirty pushball player has set an all time record for frat and breakfast parties. For some strange reason, she goes wild over some character known as ' Freddy the Finky Fish! ' She will at- tempt to find a University with flexible entrance requirements after she poisons the water system at H.C.I. —Yea Gary! Fred Hutcheson: Fred spent grades nine and ten in the orchestra as an off-key violinist. In grade eleven he joined the Observer staff and also tried some public speaking. He also helped the publicity committee to be a mess. Grade twelve was a relatively quiet year, and so were the two years in grade thirteen. Accord- ing to Fred, the crime of the century was: the Oracle form news had to be in by Dec. 19!! (he handed them in on the twentieth, though!) Esther Kartzowitz: Since she has taken art through school thus far, she considers herself a regular Michealangelo— minus beard of course, jncidently, Esther is Oak- wood ' s own barefoot contessa. She has a number of pet peeves, the most pressing of which is school. Her future centres around Teachers ' College and more school. Need I say more? Richard Ironside: Richard is a stoic per- son who overcomes such shortcomings as: an excess of wealth; a magnetic per- sonality; a handsome face; a strong body; and a quick and intelligent mind. He completed four years at Acton District High and one year at O.C.I. He hopes to marry R.I.P Margaret Keith: She has been an ' ardent ' music student for the past five years. Her extra-curricular activities include interform volleyball, basketball, dance committee, and aqua shows. Her pet peeves are ex- football players and umm-m that ' s wrong. Her future is nursing at U. of T. Virginia Irving: Virginia, a relative new- comer to Oakwood, formerly attended Northern Secondary School where she was guard on the girls ' football team. She is presently singing in Mr. Ouchter- lony ' s choir at Timothy Eton Church. One of her frustrations is geometry class. If all goes well this year, Virginia will enter Soc. and Phil, at U. of T. Tim Jacobsen: Tim is a boy who has no past (that he wants to mention) and wants to be reincarnated as a bed bug. Strange isn ' t he? Timothy, try and put up with your Indoctrinating environments. Robert Koledin: Bob was on several ath- letic teams and also manager of junior basketball. He also enjoyed after-hour art classes with Miss Campbell and a tiny role in the Masquers. His lunch-hours were constantly interrupted by fires in a certain restaurant. He hopes to study Medicine at McGill, to try for a golf team, and to have another chance with a certain unforgettable blonde. Edith Kota: Edith is a refugee from Vaughan Road C.I. where she participated in the Library Club, was a G.A.A. Rep. and played basketball. Edith has enjoyed her stay at Oakwood but is still wary of using a scalpel in Zoology class. Her future plans include either U. of T. or Teachers ' College. t ■ ? f A Marcy Jakob: Marcy, one of Oakwood ' s musical frauleins, has participated in the Masquers, the Choir, and the French Club. I ' ve been informed by anonymous sources that Marcy spends quite a lot of time hanging around the dressing room. She insists she malces a rotten Ophelia, but it always seems to depend on who ' s playing Hamlet. Her future is Psychology at U. of T., and a year in Europe where it is none of our business wnat she ' s going to do there. Bruce Kalbfleisch: Bruce spent three years at O.C.I, before being paroled to Meister- schaft for good behaviour. He returned in- definitely to O.C.I, as president of the Jim Reid Gear Club. At present he is learning how to live, instead of making a living. He wishes in the near future to form the Academy of Anatomy. His pet-peeve;— Jeunes femmes who teach at O.C.I, with much virtue in their lungs, while their hubbies discolour the air of the local pool halls. Alex Kovaloff: Alex ' s past includes Oak- wood ' s swim team, girls and would you believe it, being a choir boy. His pet peeve is a certain English teacher and his future includes either studying skin-diving and deep-sea fishing at the University of Florida or studying at the University of Tremblaut, or possibly Engineering at U. of T. John Liiley: John lists as his past the Cadet Band and studying, certainly an unusual pastime. John ' s gripe is English classes. After graduation John hopes to Blossom in science at the U. of T. 25 Gaida Locans: Gaida sang flat with the choir and participated in sports unlimited!!! She will spend another unparalleled year at O.C.I, trying to persuade people to argue with her. Ernie McCullough: Ernie ' s notable past has been the Dance Committee, Student Coun- cil, Oracle, Blue and Gold Committee, Jr. and Sr. Choir and goofing off most of the time. Apparently coffee in the Prime wasn ' t his cup of tea as was Don ' t worry group, you don ' t have to get dressed up for these Oracle pictures. Ernie sees life at the U. of T. as more goofing off and perhaps ruining some more school pictures. Lynda Longworth: No! Lynda doesn ' t think P.T. is the only useful subject in High School. She thinks she ' d rather be a fashion designer than girl football player. She was not born with internal gills. She doesn ' t think French should be banned in Canada (just in Gr. 13). She is not going to Ryerson just for the boys! Donald McHugh: Don completed his grade ten at Central Tech. and went out into the world for six years. He came back to Oakwood to achieve his Senior Matric diploma. Don is very grateful for his wife ' s sacrifices of the past few years. He expects to re-enter the machine-shop business. Walter Lukowsky: Walter does not have very much to say about his past, present or future. When asked if he would like to contribute a summary, he declared: I believe in the privacy of the individual. However, he is sure to have a more in- teresting future. Niel McKellar: Niel has survived six happy years at Oakwood and plodded through a whole term of summer school at North- ern. His time at school is taken up with lengthy Trig, assignments and with his Job. If his luck holds out, he will remain in 13E. If not he will seek more superior guidance and a four-foot eleven-inch girl friend at the University of Waterloo. Ursula Lummis: Ursle ' s extra-curricular ac- tivities were fiddling in the Orchestra, drama club, annual show, sports— golfing at O.A.L.C., and G.A.A. Ursula was Oak- wood ' s Simpson ' s Rep. ' 63-64 and co- editor of the Oracle ' 62-63. Her pet peeves are dictating essays to Marg; tak- ing out paper in Doctor Hill ' s room; and those mad discussions in English. Her future is Moderns at U. of T. and the World. Marilyn Mahood: Marilyn has been a par- ticipant in Jr. and Sr. Choir, Kick line. Aqua Show, Fashion Show and interform volleyball. Next year, she will start a business course and continue to try and convince people that she Is not Brian ' s sister. Mary Elizabeth McBrlde: Mary ' s favourite pastime is reading but she won ' t go quite as far as to tell us what. H er option form was German. She has indulged in the Library Club, Current Events, and dabbled a little in Greece (Greek that is). Her future centres around U. of T. Despair not, for I also have asked her many times, but she insists she is no relation to the Centre Island Ferry boat. Judith McCaul: Judith, whose pet peeve is school, hopes to obtain her parole from Oakwood in the minimum 5 years. While imprisoned she was a member of the various choirs and Library Club (all choirs except the Boys ' Choir). She also sup- ported bi-lingualism as a member of the French Club, and by watching the very, very French movies at the New York Cinema. Charlotte Malowane: Through her years at O.C.I. , Charlotte has played in the Jr. Sr. Orchestra and served on the G.A.A. Executive. Her most frequent preoccupa- tion this year seems to be denying the free services of a tutor. Next year ' s plans have been narrowed down to either Physiotherapy at U. of T. or Ryerson. Tony Manlaci: Tony kicked around on the soccer team and continues to make noises in the Orchestra. Oh! that curly hair! Let ' s hope that in the future somebody con- vinces him that there is such a thing as imagination. Perhaps, then, the memories of the past will be more vivid and IMAGINATIVE. Girls, Girls, Girls are made to love. 26 . ' «.- '  ' .■ irtiM .r $ . V -f ' • ' : Alan Maclnlyre: Alan never did say much in class (tinat ' s because he was usually asleep) but outside school hours he was quite busy with orchestra, Gym Team, a broken nose, broken ankle, and folk sing- ing. Warren what have you got for me today? Alan plans to become the leader of a new folk-singing group called The New Misty Chrinstrels . Arvo Medri: This deep voiced young man submitted to the indignities of life at Oakwood for five years. In order to escape the boredom of books and homework, Arvo took part in extra curricular activi- ties. He was in two Jr. Football teams, Gym Team, Concert Band, and Jr. Sr. Orchestras. His pet peeves v ' ere teachers who insisted that home work should be written, not just thought about. His future is at U. of T. Ronald Manser: Ron ' s golden voice was his password to the Junior and Senior Choir, {and the Girls ' Choir). What an- noys Ron the most is people who always seem to be coming up to him and saying: You do know you ' re running a tea dance this afternoon. After leading such a spinning life, Ron plans to settle down with his Engineering studies at U. of T. Vidas Meipoom; After an absence of two years, he finally returned to Oakwood. What does Vidas think of his lessons — ' Hard stuff, that hard stuff. ' Future will be Science or Dentistry at U. of T. His probable future—gambler. Hep! Hep! Hep! Yea, Yea! Yea! go to school, and waste your day. i Darlene Marchment: Won ' t someone buy rings, pins or Christmas cards? Please! Darlene is a member of the let ' s make unmelodious harmony group of the Jr. and Sr. Orchestra. She just loves jokes like Smoky the Grape. Her good in- tention is to be a university co-ed and then??? Ian Melzer: His pet peeve: Putting up with teachers who should get a raise for putting up with him. He failed com- pletely to form a French club. In grade twelve Ian played basketball. He also attended the Geneva Park conference at Lake Couchlching, Moreover, this year he was president of Citizen ' s Forum. AA.P.C. is his inevitable future at U. of T. Anne Mason: Anne was on the G.A.A., Welfare Committee, and In the Current Events Club. She wishes to announce that the gang must cancel all skating attempts on cement verandas, because she wants to watch the Leafs fight at the Gardens. Anne can ' t understand why she can ' t use green food colouring in chemistry experi- ments, instead of B.T.B. On a last note, she wants to inform Mr. Young that corn is not cooked In pressure cookers but is roasted over bunsen burners. Edward Miller: Ted has had a shining career at O.C.I. His past activities include: joe-jobs for Mr. Snell and Mrs. Kumagai; four years of devoted Caput service; or- chestra executive and number one librar- ian; afternoons in the Observer room with pretty assistants; intramural sports; mak- ing enemies of certain athletic teachers. Ted Is past president of the Mrs. Shime fan club and has worked hard for the abolition of homework and the S.S.C.F. His future is nebulous but he expects to become president of the world. Marilyn Mathews: Did you get the Algebra homework last night? Marilyn loves every- body and everything, she does nothing in particular but everything in general. Next year, her ambitions will lead her to Teachers ' College. Richard Matsugu: In the past, Richard was junior assistant to W.K.M. in chemistry, a fearer of W.K.M. stamps. He embar- rassed W.K.M. by excessive obedience and affection. He intends to learn how to play cribbage. In the future Richard will occupy his time with black pajamas and white leotards, a five-hundred lb. bag of rice and carving cribbage pegs from old chopsticks. Rick Mori: Rick was quite busy here what with playing on the junior and senior football and hockey teams and playing cards at noon-hour, (poker. Rick?). When he wasn ' t busy he watched football and hockey games. He is a prospective En- gineering genius, taking his diploma at U. of T. Wesley K. Morishita: He played on the tennis team and Is quite pleased about it too. Faithfully did he buy the Oracle every year to review how past events had succeeded without him. His tolerance of young upstarts who tried to make a reputation by outdrawing the top gun was his most outstanding quality. Despite discouragement, (HM), he has developed a keen taste and flair for poetry. Wesley has no comment on his undoubtedly ex- citing future. 27 Nadine Morris; E aqua show and J ffi those years in the Orchestra haven ' t con- ditioned Nadine for those 71 steps to the 3rd floor at 8:50. Her future is rather uncertain — either Teachers ' College, a University in the U.S.A. or an Airline Stewardess — whichever has less steps to climb. Marvin Morton: I have spent most of my time here, participating in too many sports and not concentrating on the books. This year the tall man shall remove his form from the halls of Oakwood and enter the halls of Assumption University of Windsor in one giant step. Elizabeth Mowat: Lrz enjoys playing the piano in her spare moments which are few and far between considering the active life she leads. Liz has been in the Jr. Sr. and Girls ' Choir, the Caput, the Girls ' Club, the Oracle Committee, and served as president of the Library Club. She tells us her pet peeve Is starting school at 9:00 A.AA.— Why couldn ' t it start at 9:05 A.A V. instead. Her future is Moderns at the U. of T. Harry Neiger: This boy goes around in circles, under and over, in and out— on the Gym team, of course. He loves every- one and everything and will continue to do so (let ' s hope) in his General Science course at U. of T. Michael Neiger: As a member of the gym team for the past few years Mike cer- tainly knows the ropes around the school. Although he plays a dual role in the school it certainly doesn ' t double his pleasure to be mistaken for his brother Harry. Mike intends to pick up his sheep- skin at the U. of T., if possible. Solveig Nilssen: One of O.C.i. ' s cheer- leaders for the last two years, Solveig is a former member of both the Jr. and Sr. Choirs and Eaton ' s Representative. Her Pet Peeves seem to be German teachers who always manage to catch her the one day she doesn ' t have her homework done, and Physics teachers who don ' t like her looking out the windows all the time. As to her future, she seems a trifle vague. 1 i 1 1 t Gary Murray: Gary ' s past is the same as it was last year only that he has had one more year at O.C.I. His beefs are working and going to school. Gary views going into retirement as his future. John Nicholl: John has participated in noon-hour sports, inter-form basketball, pushball, jr. football and other notorious activities. Dick Duff!!!! Basket weaving at U. of T. is John ' s secret ambition. Ruth Nagaml: Rufie is one of our Rah Rah Girls and another member of the let ' s make unmelodious harmony group. This girl ' s future will be directly proportionate to her sparkling personality. Eldon Nagey: His past at O.C.I, has in- cluded such activities as senior football, senior basketball, the B.A.A., sleeping in class. Eldon cannot understand why soft chairs are not provided for those who sleep — his future:— ZOLTZ. Raymond Panasluk: There are never enough J. P. parties, each one having its own dis- tinctive flair. Loves two week summer blasts (that should never end), more Park Plaza parties, Wine Cellar incidents and a certain irresponsive love. Hates going to the store too often, crying girls who put him off, his unwanted complex. Future: ambitions to obtain Sr. Matric, Teachers ' College, teaching, marriage, a mob of little people calling him D-A-D-D-Y. Bruce Paul: Hockey or football improved neither his mind nor his body (and that ' s a self evaluation too, so no sueing ex- pected!). To add to this terrible dilemma, his teachers convinced him that he didn ' t have an inferiority complex, but, that he was simply inferior. Paul claims that he was of legal voting age when he was in grade ten. The fact that he never has time to do his work right does not discourage him, for he always has time to do it over. He expects to enter the Ontario Hospital. 28 Mike Perry: Mike spends a lot of his time snoozing in Mrs. Wilson ' s English class. In previous years he did his best to figure out ways to avoid that ghastly solution in the pool and generally stay out of everything requiring w ork. He likes O.C.I, so well he ' s coming back again, next year. Jim Reid: Jim ' s seven years at O.C.I, have included; hockey, football, gym team, cadets, choir, track, caput, sports-cars, and the Oakwood O . He hopes at pres- ent to get his grade thirteen in one try rather than become honorary principal next year. His future will be busy with university, sports-cars, jobs, L.C.B.O., and B.R. Iris Petrylc: Iris has a grudge against certain people who persist in their en- deavours to misname her. She hopes to perfect her hand at surgery ... on frogs! In the very near future she hopes also to graduate from mere boys to men and then . . . domestic engineering. Forbes C. Pritchard: Forbes ' successes in hockey, football, the indoor sports etc., will likely never be exceeded by any other person. One characteristic of his humble personality is the quiet manner in which he conducts himself at stags and pizza houses. Forbes ' future will likely be one of three choices: another Shack; a member of Mr. Tovell ' s street cleaning team; or another year of Mr. Young ' s cutting up the girls. Pat Reid: Pat considers herself as the former Sarah Bernhardt of the Oakwood Masquers. She was also the director of those organized contortions of the G.A.A. Pat has a certain apprehension of people who ask her to step into the back room and others who don ' t believe that she is twenty-one. Her favourite passetemps seem to be: Thanksgiving weekends (how many, Pat?), hen-parties, Jim, ginger-wine, and shaving cream— all together!! Robert Reid: This young man, trapped for the last nine or ten years by classes of Geography, History, Latin, Trigonometry and you name it— he ' s trapped by it, finally has the chance to escape forever from the whippings and the detentions which have plagued him for so long. Help this boy to a college education, (joke) send your donations to Santa Claus c o Eaton ' s of Toronto. Marjorie Prichard: Marjorie is a refugee from St. Mildred ' s College. She just loves taking out pieces of paper and looking at them in History class. What, another history test? Next year, U. of T. General Arts will be graced with her presence then, on to Teachers ' College. Vera Rewega: Strega is another one of our Rah Rah Girls. She helped lead the G.A.A.; sang flat in the choir; played a dirty game of pushball. I really don ' t think that Latin teachers should extoll the virtues of wine. Phys-ed. at U. of T. or Queens and teaching her own students to play dirty pushball are among her many intentions. Matthew Radziszewsl i: Matt discredits himself by saying that he was an undis- tinguished participant on the swim and tennis teams. He has stopped counting how many people have asked, how is your motor scooter. Matt? . Matt is en- roling at the Faculty of Dentistry, U. of T. Betty Rice: Betty has been of the commer- cial option at Oakwood. She was a mem- ber of the Library Club and Oracle Rep- resentative in grade nine. As for her pastimes, they are . . . Wouldn ' t you like to know. Her pet peeve — Oracle Representatives who ask for pet peeves. Betty ' s future lies in Medical Laboratory Technology, Womens ' College Hospital. Dianne Rea: Dianne, a former student of B.S.S, and a member of that choir this year, found herself in the ranks of the Oakwood choir. Her pet peeve is pet peeves in general. Her future is Queens University. Doug Richardson: Doug adores other people who dislike to come into the jungle of Toronto from the hills of Scar- borough. Loves everybody and everything including early morning basketball prac- tices. Ambition will lead him to some pl ace called you off tea. 29   iMU lU.l Elaine Roebuck: Elaine, a former student of Cantab College— whatever that may be —was quick to adopt to our school organi- zation and became a member of Oak- wood ' s Dance Committee. Her pet peeve is— trying to think of a pet peeve to ap- pease the Oracle rep. Elaine ' s future is P.O.T.S. at U. of T. (or is it P.O.T. ' s and P.A.N.S. with S.O.S. Rene Rosen: All opera singers are not fat! All opera singers don ' t have long nails! What do you mean am I athletic? And so you ' re the little girl with the big voice, eh? No, my name is not Wrenney. Don ' t ask me about my future. Mel Rosenberg: In five years he has climb- ed the ladder to success; from caput rep. to B.A.A. rep., two years as treasurer, and finally president. He gets mad at people who don ' t appreciate or laugh at his hilarious jokes and poems. After Oak- wood, he intends to enter either Dentistry or Medicine (or any course that will ac- cept him.) John Sakeris: John ' s past at O.C.I, com- prised the following: collecting late slips, being cut-up by Rick and Helena, flunk- ing first-aid tests, trying to help Gord Shiomi pass his French, and stunning teachers with his bright answers. As far as pet-peeves go, he has a grudge against teachers who don ' t like his attitude and people who censor things for the Oracle. Future: Dentistry at U. of T. Harvey Schipper: In the five years he has spent between Oak wood ' s walls, Harvey has devoted his free time (and some not- so-free time) to Oracle photography, the Camera Club, and this year, to public speaking. His favourite address message: ' What has gone before is not our blame, but its effects are our responsibility. ' Why he ' s interested in either MPC or Engineer- ing Science we don ' t know, but he ' s try- ing anyway. Gary Segal: Gary lists as his past: Camera Club, Chess Club, Oracle, Jr. and Sr. Orchestras, U.N. Model Assembly, Citi- zens Forum, Student Council, Welfare Committee, Commonwealth Book Ex- change, Student Exchange Program and Current Events Club. Just in case you ' re wondering, Gary did go to school. Gary ' s gripe is People who want my work and not my criticism . Gary hopes to take Political Science and Economics at U. of T., then law or a Ph.D. in history then maybe to close the school ' s mortgage. j: Suzanne Rosenberg: Susan fiddled away in the Jr. Sr. Orchestra, attempted to sell Christmas cards for the Girls ' Club and drowned in the Aqua Show. This girl has a passion for travelling. She intends to get revenge on the world by becoming a teacher and setting her own examinations. Ron Sharawara: Ron has during his stay here at Oakwood played in the Junior Orchestra, played on a successful inter- form basketball team, played on a not- so-successful pushball team, all the while managing to survive English classes for five straight years. His future plans in- clude an engineering course at U. of T. and perhaps a degree in Law. Ida Rutkowski: Ida ' s past at O.C.I, includ- ed Junior and Senior Orchestra, inter-form volleyball, and dancing at the armories. She will pursue higher stages of learning at the U. of T. or York and then wishes to teach kindergarten or primary grade. Howie Saginur: At Oakwood Howie has been president of the Camera Club, both oboist and tubist in the Jr. Orchestra and Concert Band, on the Blue and Gold Com- mittee, Oracle Photographer, Oracle Rep. and a graduate of the early morning Greek class. He received the Merit Pin. Howie ' s frustrations are bad oboe reeds, lack of regular Greek verbs and English. If all goes well he will enter Engineering at U. of T. Michael Shawyer: This is Mike ' s first year at Oakwood after coming from Jarvrs. Next year he will probably be at Oakwood again unless events beyond his control happen. Pet Peeve: What a bunch of crazy teachers we have in this school. His outstanding interests are skiing and talking about making a hot rod. Darlene Shewchuk: When I asked Darlene about her long list of past activities she told me not to get personal. Nevertheless, I managed to find out that her pet peeve is bumping into people around concrete corners in the school. Therefore, she en- thusiastically advocates introduction of clear, plastic, rounded corners in the halls. Her future is Teachers ' College and Norm. I hereby refrain from saying any more as she has a big boyfriend and 1 haven ' t. 30 Brenda Silverstein: Brenda, a pianistical musical acorn, has studied German as well. Her activities include Jr. Sr. Girls ' Choirs, the Oracle Committee, United Nations Model Assembly, Annual Show and Make-up (or is it make-out?) with the Masquers. Brenda has served as President of both the Current Events Club and Masquers. Brenda ' s Pet Peeves are the walrus, the carpenter, and eleven papers. Her future is the U. of T., teaching and then who can tell? Samuel Tanaka: A single paragraph can- not possibly cover the exciting and ful- filling life of this determined young man. Passing through the Hallowed Halls of Oakwood, seemingly dreaming, but in reality, his keen wit and sharp eye were always alert for a pretty girl. No past, no future and no pet peeve; an ambitious young man, as I have said. See you Next Year, Sam. Nada Simunic: Nada spent 1961 learning English and has been practising ever since. She becomes very annoyed by people who pronounce her name wrong (nomina, non demonstrans) and nothing gives her a bigger charge than Physics Class. Nada plans to become an Alumna of the Psychiatry Ward at U. of T. Havelock Thompson: The most interesting subject, to him, is physics because of the shocking experiments and because the problems are interesting and easy. The least interesting is English for no particu- lar reason. He hates modest people like Blair Slade: During his stay at Oakwood, Blair has taken part in several extra-cur- ricular activities. While the school had cadets, he was an officer in the corps. He has also taken part in Intramural Bas- ketball , as well as Inter-school Basketball and Football. After graduating from Oak- wood, Blair hopes to go to university, and eventually to Osgoode Hall to take Law. Dougie Tickner: Dougie tells us he is from the ranks of Port Credit S.S. He has played Senior Football, Senior Hockey, Senior Track Field, Pushball, and Hookey ad Infinitum. Dougie seems both- ered by teachers who are under the mis- conception that he is lazy. He aspires to pursue a law career, but feels he is more likely to become a professional student. Joe Stel: Joe who was deported from Europe in the ' 59 exodus has had neg- ligible past activities at O.C.I. His greatest desire is to get honours in English within the next 50 years. His future is to be deported to some secluded university to study engineering. il Timo Toikkanen: Timo has been in swim- ming, in Physorama and on the trampo- line. Time ' s beef is Hey Dave! How do you do this question? Timo plans to take Physical Education at the U. of T. next year ( You don ' t need it, he said limply). Bill Taggart: In the past few years. Bill was in the junior choir and played crib- bage at noon-hour. When asked for a pet-peeve he declared he liked les frogs . If he makes it this year or any other year, he will enter Forestry at U. of T. Eedo Tamme: Eedo was exported from Europe for being too short a native. He entered Oakwood five years ago, when still taller than Marv Morten but now finds that he is shorter than ACE. He is looking forward to the future. If lucky he will have two more years at Oakwood, during which to grow shorter, and then a few more years, in any university that will accept him. Brian Toll: During the past five years, Brian has participated on the gym team, track team, in ping-pong, pushball, foot- ball, and considers himself a hockey vet- eran. He has utter disregard for people who don ' t appreciate the finer qualities and mental stimulation of pea-pool. Brian will study Phys. Ed. at U. of T. and will sacrifice his spare time in the promotion of pea-pool. Arne Tori: Arne managed to take time from his solemn studies to partake in foot- ball, basketball, and track. He developed an intense dislike for teachers who woke him up during class. Studies and day- dreaming will be his goal, even as far as university. 31 Deanna Truant: Dino has been a music patron since grade nine, a member of the Junior, Senior and Girls ' Choirs. Dino in- dulges in badminton, archery, etc. She Intends spending one year at the U. of T., on to Teachers ' College and then . . . and then, well you take it from there Deanna. Margaret Wallberg: Her extra curricular activities: Sr. and Girls ' Choir. Marg ' s pet peeve is teachers vjho have already mark- ed her late at one minute to nine. Her pastime is trying to get to Oakw ood on time. Her future is trying to get to university on time. To be helpful I sug- gested she get a helicopter. Douglas Tsuchida: Scholar, Brain; Golf- ing Is the greatest. Future is sure to be as interesting. Barry Warren: Barry tried to organize a school union for the purpose of getting coffee breaks, but failed miserably every time. For some reason or another there are a few people who think that Barry will never get to Ryerson. His future? Ryerson? Frijntje Van Kuiken: I would like to in- troduce to you Miss Frijntje Van Kuiken, originator of the retirement plan. Nancy, a Lightheaded girl, sings and plays the piano. Her options have been music and German. She has taken part in the aqua show and played basketball and volley- ball. Her pet peeve is fellow retard . Her future is— and I do believe she ' ll make it— President of Inner Outer Mon- golia. Noreen Warshavsky: Noreen goes mad for those wild zoology classes and is noted for her ability to disect perfectly with her eyes shut. Intends to take up a great profession— teaching. Paula Vogel: Paula has been a member of Oakwood ' s Senior and Girls ' Choirs— as a vocalist of course. Her pastime is gluing herself to the saddle— on a horse I hope. Her pet peeves are riding schools that don ' t supply pink, foam rubber cushions and people that call her Fogie . Her future, as I understand, is aimed at psychology. Dave Webb: Dave ' s a quiet sort of fellow. You never know he ' s around . . . till It ' s too late. His pet peeve Is short— Long- Winded Chemistry Teachers . He ' s been a music student and a member of a drum corps. If any reader has any ideas about selling Dave on the local slave market. Don ' t bother! I ' ve already tried and only got 18c at that. His future is Phm.B. at U. of T. Margaret Wallace: Margaret is one of those imports from B.S.S. where she spent most of her time sipping tea and now has graduated to the ranks of drinking choco- late milk-shakes at the Oakwood. She has attached herself to the Dance Com- mittee and her pet peeve Is— Margaret you ' ve got a ' Lovey ' ! Marg ' s future lies in Soc. Phil, at the U. of T. Susan Wallace. Sue is our refugee B.S.S. Shot down! She intends to amaze people at U. of T. or Teachers ' College with bfil- liant statements like That ' s right! Isn ' t it? David Webster: Dave kept himself busy while at Oakwood by participating in Cadets, the Swim, Trampoline, Jr. and Sr. Football Teams. For his contributions, he received his Oakwood O . Dave dislikes teachers who think their subject is the only one. To remedy the situation, he intends to return to the scene of the crime and teach mathematics In high school. ( The only subject that is , says Dave.) Bob Weir: Bob is our mad professor who delights in trying to make pep-up pills for Frank Mahovlich but who can ' t discover the formula for growing to great heights. He likes short names like Pat and intends to lead the New York Giants to the World Series. S--. John Wells: Here is a boy with an interest- ing pastime, he builds antique automobiles as well as driving one himself. Buzz has been in the Band and Orchestra, the Stage Crew and the Dance Committee. Pushball is one of Buzz ' s favourite sports. His pet peeve is, Beautiful Student-Teachers who think I ' m not a model student. This boy dreams of making his first million before he is thirty — I just hope he can count. Martha Woodside: Martha ' s past activities at O.C.I, include Junior and Senior Orch- estra, Dance Committee, U.N. assemblies and general sports. Her pet peeve refers always to cuddly bones. In the future Martha will physcho-analyse herself as she studies Phsychology at U. of T. or Queens. Glen Wickins: Glen is a graduate of the Accountancy Course at Northern and plans to attend Ryerson Institute for Business Administration, then, on to Accountancy. Mike is doing a really great job up in Ottawa isn ' t he? Michael Wright: Michael is the Oakwood Masquers ' Richard Burton? He attempted to march in time in the Cadet Corps and tried to make music in the orchestra but everybody can ' t be perfect. Right, Wright. Smile. If his dreams come true, Michael will decorate the campus of University of Western Ontario, smiling of course. Rulh Wilton: In past years ' Rufus ' has studied music, music, music and more music. She has been a member of the Senior and Girls ' Choirs and the Aqua show. Her pastimes include bronco busting and calling Tahiti and Arabia several times a week. Her pet peeve — Fainting at the sight of blood. Her future— Nursing. Mannie Zelewicz: Mansferds P. McZele- wlcz — never to be forgotten or shall I say forgiven for writing all those nasty things about 13A. Outside of being an ' odd ' folk singer, he ' s loveable, intelligent, handsome, considerate, and courageous. Favourite pastimes are eating, dancing, act- ing, and stuttering. Extra Curricular Activi- ties — Camera Club, Gym Team, Junior Orch., Concert Band and Masquers. His future is Soc. and Phil, at U. of T. The foregoing is true — by Mannie Zelew icz. Roy Wiseman: Roy Wiseman has spent tiis past five years admiring Mr. Smith ' s handi- work, having frequent discussions with English teachers, and baking cakes with Melzer. Most memorable was a year with Dr. Packer — Schreiben Sie es hundertmal Herr Wiseman. Teachers who want him to do homework caused him much embarass- ment. He plans to attend U. of T. study- ing History, Philosophy and languages (with Dr. Packer?) His philosophy: Life is for the living; Stop and enjoy it now. Barry Zon: Barry is another member of the J.P.C.M. ' s. He regales in tormenting Steve for French and Trig, homework. His passetemps favori is going to Andy ' s inner sanctum for homework horrors. Cer- tain questions torment him constantly: Where did Mary learn to speak Yiddish? Why does Miss Warren love me so? Why not sit behind Bruce in Algebra? His two greatest ambitions are: to send Willy to Auswitz, and being a toothpick(er) — DENTISTRY ? ? Joseph I. Wohlgelernter: Joseph ' s interest- ing past includes Library Club, Camera Club, Junior Choir, N.C.O. ' s and arguing with Ian (WOW!!). Class time was spent in discussions with Dr. Hill, Miss Suther- land and in obeying der Herr Doktor. What about that death rattle for Mr. Snell, Joe?? He dislikes people who stress their middle initial. His future will lead him in the ways of Dr. Kildare — BUT with a diploma from U. of T. Michael Wood: I won ' t repeat all that Mich said to me when I asked him about his past. However 1 will relate that a large amount of energy has been spent in en- lightening the great Greek scholar ' J.C.R. ' with pearls of wisdom . His pet peeve is waiting for someone to enter the room after one too many. His future — senior snow-shoveller at the Baf- fin Island golf course and tennis club. We ' re all confident he ' ll succeed. Jerry Brioux: This is Jerry ' s first year at Oakwood. Previously attended St. Mike ' s. His main hobbies are cars, water-skiing, girls, and most of all, making money. He has his own car and boat and spends the summer week-ends at the family cottage water-skiing. His main peeve is that there are not enough hours in one day to go to school, do homework, and work too ! ! ! During the summer he works at the Cana- dian National Railroad. Norman Courtney: Norm spent all his time listening to junior students whispering be- hind his back My what a giant! He des- pises getting up at 8:15 every morning five days a week (guess which five) and wishes that junior students would grow taller. What does the future hold? Com- merce and Finance at the University of Toronto. 33 TOO MODEST FOR WORDS Citt RALPH STEVE COWAN ELKU JUDY VALERIE PAUL NORM BILL VIRGINIA LOVE McBAIN McCABE MISKIN RAUENBUSCH SAKALAS GORD STURGESS AflARIO TATTONI PAUL TELEGDI CAMERA SHY Christine Goring: But I am speaking up. Christine lived in Sarnia before she came to Toronto and O.C.I., and she plans to attend McGill next year. Jim Kerr: Jim contributed his resonant bass voice to both the Jr. and Sr. Choir. He also participated in Track and Field and Intermural Sports. Having to come back and try all over again is Jim ' s pet peeve; so, let ' s hope he gets through university w ithout any more delays. John MacDonald: John has had an unusual past. Not only did he go through a stage that doctor ' s call five years of childhood, but he was also subjected to 13 years of education. How ever, he intends to devote at least one year to thinking of monumental and humorous sayings that he could have entered here. Richard Tilley: Richard was born in Renfrew; educated at schools in Edmonton, Camrose, Meaford, and, after working a year, at Oak- wood. To make up for his neglected studies, he swims, skis, plays pool, and cherches les femmes. Among his pet-peeves are three Maths, two Sciences, two Englishes, and es- pecially two Frenches; also ball-point pens that skip. Pete Winneil: Pete spent five years wandering about Upper Canada College before deciding to come ot Oakwood. He played senior hoc- key and football at U.C.C. and continued in athletics at O.C.I, by playing goal on the senior hockey team.

His work as organizer did not stop here, for under his auspices the Current Events Club was formed as well as the Citizens ' Forum and the U.N. Model Assembly. He was the initiator of the noon-hour films at Oakwood, and of the school trips to historical sites. His contributions to the school in the field of History culminated with his introduction and supervision of the U.N.E.S.C.O. project. Dr. Hill was chosen as the initiator of this project in Oakwood because of his wide experi- ence in travels and his reputation as a humanist. In all these ways, Dr. Hill has striven to promote a greater understanding of history and world af- fairs. He has tried to impress upon the students of Oakwood the importance of a deeper aware- ness of the present and a greater acceptance of the responsibility of citizenship. It will certainly be difficult to imagine Oakwood without Dr. Hill working at his Loom (of Time). In fact, what will Oakwood be like at all with- out its own Colossus, loom and quarry? Speaking in aU sinceritf, Oakwood owes much gratitude to these three men. Each has dedicated the best part of his life to the service of Oakwood and its students. They have given of their time, of their patience and of their wisdom to make Oakwood the institution of learning that it is today. Oak- wood thanks each of them sincerely and knows that she vdll miss them. YOUR BRAVE NEW WORLD Cont ' d From Page 9 headquarters in Paris, Rome, Vienna and Geneva are humanitarian in their activities. Together they all operate on the basic concept of Man One Fam ily . This brings to the fore another of the Eternal Verities , the principle of the Brotherhood of Man which, in turn, has its origin in the Fatherhood of a Universal God . Faintly grasped by the Greeks, these principles were evolved and expressed more clearly by the ancient Hebrews in that little land of Palestine. This principle of the Brotherhood of Man has won a reluctant and tardy acceptance through the centuries because of man ' s dual nature for evil and good. It is still true that negotiations de- termining Peace or War must be conducted on a basis of strength. Otherwise , a great realist once said, they are as useless as musical notes without instruments . On the other hand. Science by its annihilation of time and distance has also brought us so closely together that man has been forced to look inwards and draw upon his spiritual life for these Universal Principles. In essence that is the supreme challenge that we accepted at Oak- wood along with similar schools in 43 countries. These Verities, so essential in enabling us to be better citizens of Canada and the Commonwealth, can, if you apply them in the strange world be- yond Oakwood, aid in enabling mankind to say in the spirit of Marcus Aurelius Civis Mundi Sum .

For once, a rousing cheer should be given to our girls who have always man- aged to give the teams such support. Many thanks are deserved by Klara Hecht, Sue Hershfield, Kathy Gaby, Joanne Min- ken, Solveig Nilssen, Vera Rewega, and their captain, Ruth Nagami, who made up the senior team. Thanks also go out to Diane Donaldson, Viiu Kreem, Rose Gruwer, Kathy Kalil, Beth Smith, and their captain, Mary Hecht, who made up the junior team. A special vote of thanks is deserved by their sponsor, Mrs. Ryan, for helping them solve their problems — problems, such as having only six skirts for thirteen girls.

WELFARE COMMITTEE Throughout 1963-64 the Welfare Committee has received greater support from the students than ever before, per- haps due to the increased enrollment at Oakwood. For this reason we set our objective at the $3000 mark and at present are well on the way towards achieving this goal. As in past years, we are again supporting our adopted boy, Adrian Kitchen of the Dr. Graham ' s Homes, Kalim- pong, India. Our annual United Appeal drive, held in October, went over the top, exceeding last year ' s collec- tion by over $100. This year, we decided to support the newly formed John F. Kennedy Memorial Fund for Retarded Children. The enthusiasm of all made the drive a complete success. Thanks must go to each member of the committee, the class treasurers, and especially the student body for making this year a resounding success.

BLUE AND GOLD COMMITTEE On September 6, 1963 Oakwood Collegiate reopened its doors to thirteen hundred sun-burnt students. Not many of these recruits anticipated how spirited the year to come would be. As Oakwoodites cheered their football heroes, they were refreshed by pop and ice-cream sold by the Blue and Gold Committee. When our Teams reached the finals a huge banner topped the stands at Varsity Stadium. The Blue and Gold Committee publiciz- ed all school events as well as selling tickets for them. A singing, clapping crowd of 700 attended a teriffic Hootenany. This year for School Spirit Week, we had our own Blue and Gold Olympics. A lasting reminder of the committee ' s work was the trophy which was awarded to the class of 1963-64 which showed the most school spirit.

OAKWOOD COLLEGIATE CHORALE The year has been a good one for the Senior Choir under the direction of Mr. Davison, and the Senior Girls ' Choir under Mrs. Pepall. In the fall the Senior Choir sang at the Senior Commencement and the Senior Girls performed at the Junior Commencement. Both choirs participated in the Christmas Assembly. Both the Senior Choir and the Senior Girls represented Oakvi ' ood in the Kiwanis Festival in February. The highlight of Music Night, which was held in April this year, was a medley from The Sound of Music . The Senior Girls who placed first in the Kiwanis, enjoyed a trip to another school and a party given by Mrs. Pepall since it was her last year with the choir. Susan Love Junior Choir Standing: George Sanford, Miro Pristupa, Tim Martin. Seated: Eleanor Joudry, Mrs. Pepall, Maria Cavalcante Olena Oleshnia.

Under the capable direction of Mrs. Pepall, the choir not only worked well together as a group, but also held such a well organized and successful party in the fall that an- other one was held in the spring. A performance at Music Night, strengthened with the excellent accompani- ment of Miro Pristupa, demonstrated the choir ' s musical ability.

INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC Looking back over the past five years in the Instin- mental Music Department one thinks of many things. One thinks of Music Night and the nervous excitement and anticipation, the orchestra party after the final night, the trips to London and Buffalo, the Kiwanis, the assemblies and getting out of classes, Christmas Festi- val , Massey Hall, the rehearsals twice a week until five o ' clock, the eight o ' clock Sectionals, Scipio , Haydn ' s 104th, Oliver , Camelot , The Sound of Music , and the applause. Certainly this past year has been no exception in pro- viding us with many fond memories. Those in the Junior Orchestra will look back on this year and recall their excellent performance in the Christmas assembly and the first night jitters of Music Night. This year a new group, the Senior Strings, was formed. It consists of thirty string players from grades eleven and twelve. They had a busy year, performing success- fully not only in the Christmas assembly and in Music Night but also combining with our Senior Orchestra strings and the Humberside strings to steal the show at the Music Festival at Massey Hall. The Concert Band also combined very successfully with the Senior Orchestra band members and the Humberside band at Massey Hall. In addition they provided the musical selections at the Grade Twelve Commencement, played at a high school in Niagara Falls, and finished the year with a very enjoyable performance at Music Night. The Chamber Orchestra, this year under the direction of Alan Bernstein, met on Sunday afternoons, played in several assemblies, and climaxed their year with a re- warding performance at Music Night. The Senior Orchestra, under the direction of Mrs. Kumagai, had one of their busiest years. In addition to playing at Senior Commencement and at various assemb- lies, the string and band members of the Senior Or- chestra played at Massey Hall. Two exchange programs were arranged with Bloor and Forest Hill Collegiates in which their orchestras played at our assemblies and we played at theirs. Before Music Night, a rehearsal was held at the beautiful Edward Johnson Building with Professor Rosevear of the Faculty of Music. Of course, the highlight of our year was Music Night. Looking back over this year, everyone will realize that none of the memories and the fun would have been possible without two very important people, Mrs. Kuma- gai and Miss Hay. Alan Bernstein 69 I. S. C. F. This year the Inter-School Christian Fellowship has tried to make itself known to more students. Such fea- tures as a discussion on science and Christianity, slides of a missionary ' s work in South America, a discussion on the topic What is a Christian? and a Moody science fOm on communism have all helped to let students know what I.S.C.F. supports. Social activities this year have been plentiful; Bible studies have been intense, varied, and interesting, and it is hoped that each member has learned something Vital in the fulfilment of his motto — To know Christ, and to make Him known.

LIBRARY CLUB Over 2,000 books are circulated monthly. Who checks these books when they leave the library and who slips and shelves them when they return? These and many other associated tasks are handled by our Library Club. Through the faithful execution of their jobs, our members insure that the library operates at an efficient pace. The work is, of course, balanced by numerous social events. Our eargerly awaited annual Chinese dinner is always a huge success. We have the pleasure of visiting other library clubs and having them visit us. Frequent guest speakers at our weekly meetings present informa- tive talks on topics such as their travels. Because of such worthwhile activities our members are glad to belong to the Library Club. The help and guidance of our spon- sor, Mrs. Donaldson, is appreciated by all.

The senior members of the club give instruction at weekly meetings about the various aspects of photography. Everyone has seen those who hold the highly contested position of Oracle Photographer at every school activity eagerly doing their part to represent our school in its yearbook. Such enthusiastic students are always wel- comed to assist the senior members in carrying on the high standards of the club. They will find that watching their pictures emerge in the developer as if by magic is an unparalleled thrill well worth any painstaking cares taken in producing them. David Keith B. A. A. The B.A.A., under the watchful eyes of Mr. Lobb and Mr. McKinney, had its most successful year in all fields of athletics. All worked hard this year and the work re- sulted in intramural basketball for grades 9, 10 and 11 and pushball for grades 12 and 13. The B.A.A. intro- duced ping-pong as a major source of entertainment. With Mr. Novak ' s assistance and the B.A.A. ' s funds, a weight training team was begun at Oakwood for the first time. The B.A.A. and G.A.A. joined forces and held three successful athletic nights at which there were ping-pong demonstrations, pushball and an interesting Junior- Teacher basketball game. Our annual Athletic Banquet held at the school concluded a successful year which would not have been possible without the support of staff and students.

GIRLS ' CLUB This September grade niners really got initiated as they crawled through hoops of wet nylons, jumped into tubs of cold spaghetti and screamed heartily in our House of Horrors . Later in the fall we talked Oak- woodites into buying shakers, pins, ribbons, and beanies for the football games. Together the G.A.A. and the Girls ' Club provided free shakers for the final game. We sold Christmas cards this year and again prepared baskets for needy famOies. Female Oakwoodites saw a bevy of beautiful girls in stunning clothes at our fashion show — Wardrobe Wizardry for the Modem Miss. We also sold school rings and pins as well as sweatshirts, thus completing another successful year for the Girls ' Club.

A. A. This year has been a busy one for the G.A.A., whose members worked together to present an excellent pro- gram of extra-curricular activities to the girls of Oak- wood. Under the much appreciated guidance of our sponsor, Mrs. Earle, we held the annual Posture Contest and the Home School swimming competition. At the first Athletic Night of the year, Madli Tamme was crown- ed Miss Blue Gold, and a dance was held in honour of the football teams of Oakwood and Humberside. The second Athletic Night was high-lighted by a basketball game between the teachers and the Sr. team. In April there was another Athletic Night, and the year was climaxed by the annual Athletic Banquet. Thus it has been a busy but — thanks to all concerned — a reward- ing year. Janice Guy 3rd Row: S.

Under the direction of Miss Dunlop, our club sponsor, the cast spent much time rehearsing after school for the nights of the performance on February 6, 7, and 8. The result, indeed, justified all the preparation and hard work involved in such a production. Marcy Jakab did a wonderful job as the Madwoman of Chaillot and the rest of the cast outdid themselves in their sparkling per- formances. Again Oakwood entered the Simpson ' s Drama Festival, this time with the play Hope is a Thing with Feathers by Harrity and directed by Frank Liebeck. The Masquers would like to thank the stage crew, the ward- robe mistresses, prop girls, make-up groups and the members of the staff and student body without whose asssitance they should never have been able to get the show on the road.

CURRENT EVENTS CLUB ORGANIZATION The Cu jent Events Club Organization, which encom- passes the United Nations Club and Citizens ' Forum, holds its own meetings of current interest to the school body. With the invaluable assistance of our sponsor. Dr. Hill, we were able to bring several interesting guest speakers to the school, including the Public Affairs officer for the American Consul in Toronto, and Mr. McGibbon, treasurer of Imperial Oil. Our programme was varied with some very interesting educational films. This year, with the help of Mr. Coutts, the school was again able to enjoy some excellent noon-hour movies. Mr. Tovell authorized two assemblies this year, one to commemorate the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the other United Nations Day. The United Nations Club participated in the tenth annual United Nations Model Assembly representing Morocco. Under Mr. Gordon ' s sponsorship Oakwood ' s delegation was runner up for the Trivitt award, given annually to the best participating group in the Model Assembly. Citizens ' Forum this year discussed topics ranging from L.B.J, to the F.L.Q. under the guidance of Dr. Hill and Miss Rogers. The highlight of the year was a dis- cussion held at Midland Secondary in Scarborough on the topic Discrimination: National and International .

Following this we presented the Reindeer Romp , our annual Christmas dance, where good old St. Nick appeared as usual to round out the evening. The biggest success of the year was the At-Home, called Spanish Hearts because it fell on St. Valentines Day. The gyms were transformed into colourful scenes of old Spain, while the games room was a market place cafe. Thanks are deserved by Mr. McDonald, our staff advisor and Bob Francis, our pre- sident, who have helped us provide Oakwood with some of the best dances in its history.

We endeavoured both to publicize school events and to organize each issue so that it would appeal to as large a segment of the student body as possible. Our efforts to reach these goals included the cover on the January issue of the Observer advertising the Masquer ' s production of The Madwoman of Chaillot. The Ob- server ' s content was also enlivened by such columns as the High-Brow , Odd Man In , an enlarged sports section, and informative Roving Reporter articles. The staff of the Observer sincerely thank Oakwoodites who made our success this year possible and we remind all Oakwoodites that Oakwood is the Observer and the Observer is Oakwood .

STAGE CREW For the first time in several years, the Stage Crew began with a big bang because it had more members than it knew what to do with. The several new grade niners were trained by Mark Corden and Doug Hennebury. Besides the occasional assemblies, another important task was the Sadie Hawkin ' s dance, which was followed by the Christmas dance. Later on the Stage Crew had to help the Dance Committee with The At-Home , the Phy- sical Education Department with Physorama and then the Music Department with Music Nights. Its biggest effort was devoted to the production of The Madwoman of Chaillot by the Masquers.

The seniors had a lot of potential, but no one knew how far they would go. Many thought that after the East-West game, and our first game with Central that the Oaker ' s weren ' t going too far. We lost our first game 13-0. The next encounter showed otherwise as Oakwood trounced Western 40-0. This was a new team as Warren Haller and Ian Campbell scored two touchdowns each with Chip Barrett and Bruce Paul finishing off the scoring. But again a letdown occurred when a weaker Northern team beat us 13-6. Ian Campbell starred with a great running effort and also scored Oakwood ' s T.D. We made it into the playoffs when T.D. ' s by Bruce Paul, Ian Campbell, Chip Barrett and Larry Brundage led the attack against Harbord 24-19. The quarter-finals marked the start of a determined drive as Ian Campbell scored twice with others going to Gord Sturgess, Warren Haller, Chip Barrett and Dave Gasparini, to give the Oakers a semi-final berth against Central Tech. In that semi-final game, nothing went wrong except for ten minutes of the game. We built up a 25-0 lead going into the last quarter, with Chip Barrett and Ian (Campbell getting two majors each. Then the roof fell in, but we hung on in the final minutes of an exciting game to win 25-20. Then came the big one. What happened? A great many excuses can be given, but Humberside did play the better game and I don ' t think anyone could have beaten them that day. The score was 48-12 and Chip Barrett scored all of Oakwood ' s points. As the season came to an end we were able to look back and be proud of what we did do. The team would like to congratulate Chip Barrett for winning the Most Valuable Player Award and Larry Brundage, Ian Campbell and Chip again for winning honors on the city ' s all star team. Special congrats to Mr. Wright and Mr. Simpson for their excellent coaching. 82 N First Row: Mike Wolfe, Bob McLeod, Joe Paiero, Jim Serba, Brian Williams, Bob Hewitt, Arnold Marcus, Jolin Swanson, Jeff Moe.

JUNIOR FOOTBALL From the opening practices, it was evident that the ' 63 Juniors, coached by a determined Mr. McKinney were des- tined to reach great heights. The return of some former Juniors and the acquisition of several promising Bantams insured their success. Brian Toll, Mike Wolfe, and Bill Gries scored the touchdowns to pace the Baby Blues to a 19-6 victory over Cen- tral Tech to successfully open the season. Oakwood ' s second encounter resulted in a lopsided 49-6 score over a badly disorganized Western squad. Overcoming an early 6-0 deficit the Blue and Gold stormed back on T.D. ' s by Jurczak, Moe, and Lucie who also threw touchdown passes to Toll, McLeod, and Wolfe. Our third victim was a weak Northern team, which was unable to mount any type of offense against our strong de- fensive team. The offense, led by Lucie ' s five T.D. passes, outclassed the Northern crew by a score of 47-1. The Juniors concluded the regular season with a 26-6 decision over a stubborn Harbord team. Brian Toll led the way with two touchdowns. The quarter-finals pitted a fast Jarvis team against our so-far undefeated Juniors. Brian Toll and Jeff Moe sparked Oakwood to a solid 20-6 win and entry into the semi-finals against Lawrence Park. The semi-final game produced the Blue ' s toughest contest of the season. Trailing 13-7 in the third quarter, John Swan- son caught a Lueic pass on L.P. ' s two yard line from where Ed Jurczak crashed over to tie the score. With only minutes to play, Brian Toll broke away on a spectacular 40 yard run to win the game and give the Blue and Gold a berth in the City Finals. Malvern were the opponents. On several occasions the Oakwood offense was stalled deep in the Malvern zone. The only scoring play of the first half was Alan Bayley ' s 27 yard single. The second half saw a scoreless see-saw battle until the Malvern offense started to grind out yardage in the dying minutes of the game. Their desperation drive was halted when Pete Mueller intercepted a pass to give Oakwood possession on their own 20 yard line. The final gun sounded and Oakwood left the field as City Champs for the 1963 season on the strength of a 1-0 win. Congratulations to the Juniors on winning the cup for the first time since 1929, to Mr. McKinney on a great coach- ing job, and to Brian Toll who was later elected Most Valuable Player. 83 T.S.S.A.A.

The year began w ith an exhibition game against our pre- season rivals Lawrence Park. We won with a hard fought 25-13 win. As the regular season opened and we faced Parkdale, a tight first half was scoreless but then we pulled together and won 12-0 with touchdowns going to John Clark and Ron Matsugu. Next week Bloor were our opponents. The offence scored quickly with John Spawls and John Clark tallying the points. The final score was 13-0. The following Monday a much improved Harbord team had us on our backs for a whUe until we settled down, contained their speedy quarterback, and took the game 12-0. Clark and Spawls got the scores. This marked the third game in which the defence had not given up a point. The North Toronto game promised to be quite a battle. On the Norsemen ' s first series of downs they pushed the defence to the shadow of the goalposts. Then we tightened up and held. The offense started to roll and started to score points. John Clark had quite a game by scoring 24 points on 4 T.D. ' s John Spawls scored the other 6 points to round out our 30 point total. When the dust had cleared we were on the winning side of a 30-18 score. In the quarter-finals North Toronto scored early and held a 6-0 lead until about 2 minutes were remaining in the game. John Spawls tied the score. The game finished in a tie and in the overtime period John Clark scored on a beauti- ful 65 yard run to give us the victory 12-6. In the semi-finals we easily overpowered Northern, inflicting a crushing 21-0 defeat. John Spawls scored 2 T.D. ' s. John Clark picked up 6 points and Walter Lappozanski scored 3 points with a safety touch and a conversion. The tight defense registered its fourth shutout of the season. In the finals the Oakers had the game well in hand as we marched to a 24-12 triumph. The point-getters were Dan Kushnir with one major, John Clark with one major and John Spawls who counted twice. Congratulations go out to all the Bantam players for a wonderful season. Special congratulations go to Mr. Wilson, our dedicated coach and leader. 84 HOCKEY FIRST ROW: (left to right) Ricky Mori, Ted Fulton, Gary Dean, Bruce Paul, Bill Gries, John Swanson, Pete Winnell. SECOND ROW: Paul Reynolds, Chip Barrett, Sam Tanaka, Ian Campbell (Cap ' t.), Brian Toll, Chris Evans, Norm Bracht, Sid Cooper (Coach). Absent: Rick Matias (Mgr.). Oakwood ' s hockey team was picked at the be- gining of the season for an almost sure last posi- tion in the league, but as the points were added at the end of the season, standings showed that Oak- wood finished up in first place. To start the hoc- key season, Oakwood took its annual trip to Buf- falo and took its annual drubbing from Nichol ' s College 7 goals to 3. In the T.S.S.A.A. Oakwood ' s crew got off to a much better start winning 4 out of the first 5 games with victories over Central Tech 3-1, Bloor C. I. 2-1, Harbord, Humberside, and losing a close game to Western Tech 6-4 which ended up be- ing their only loss of the year. In the second haK of the regular season Oak- wood had a perfect record, with wins over Central 5-0, Harbord 9-1, Western 2-1, Humberside, and Bloor. Oakwood ' s defensive unit of Bruce Paul, Gary Dean and John Swanson were a Uttle rusty at the beginning of the season, but as the season pro- gressed, Oakwood ' s defense ended up being the best in the Western League. The Oakwood forwards, who were shuffled around until the right combinations were formed, made the scoring punch equal on each line. All- star centre Ian Campbell led the scoring race with 9 goals and 7 assists with wing-mate Sam Tanaka picking up 3 goals and 3 assists and all-star left- winger Brian Toll scoring 7 goals and 7 assists. On the second line, behind Campbell in the scoring race was all-star Chris Evans with 8 goals and 7 assists with wing-mates Norm Bracht and Punch Gries scoring 6 goals and 5 assists and 3 goals and 7 assists respectively. Up until this point there has been no mention of Oakwood ' s goal-tending. The goal-tending of Pete Winnell was the best in the West although he was not placed on an all-star team. Pete ' s stand out performance showed up in every game and showed up best in the 2-1 victory over Western Tech which clinched the 1st place finish for the Blues. Though we didn ' t make it to Maple Leaf Gar- dens this year, Oakwood gave it an all-out effort but was defeated by our old rival Malvern, in a two-game total point series, 8 goals to 6. This year ' s success could not have been pos- sible without the hard work and time put forth by coach Sid Cooper, who had the job of pulling the loose strings together and organizing a team fit for league competition. Players and fans both would agree that it was a job well done. 85 r- [ JUNIOR BASKETBALL ' i % ' % FIRST ROW (Left to Right): George Dubinsky, Chip Harper, Gord Hutcheson (Cap ' t), Stan Brown, Burt WUliams. SECOND ROW: Fred Stoppel (Mgr.), Fred Gentili, Dave Gilmore, Pat McCabe, Izzie Horowitz, Greg Swaluk, Mr. Gordon (Coach). Absent: Marty Vaivada. The junior basketball team won twelve of its first thirteen games. Then, the Oakers went into a tailspin and ended out of the money. With the starting five of Brown, Hutcheson, Horowitz, Harper, and McCabe it looked as if the O.C.I, juniors would be tough to beat. The campaign got under way at Parkdale where the baby Oakers won 55 to 43. Horowitz scored 29 from long and close shots. McCabe added 10. For their first home game they bombed Bloor 69-39. Horowitz scored 22, Harper 14, Hutcheson scored 12 on long jump shots. For the third game of the year, the Blues again had little or no trouble as they beat Humberside 45-33. For the next contest before a full house at O.C.I, the Oaks were chopped down 41-40 at the hands of Harbord. Izzy Horowitz pumped 14 points in. Harper notched 12 and Hutcheson 9. Oakwood got back on the winning track in the next game by smearing Central Tech 67-35. Stan Brown hit for 21 points to pace the juniors to an easy 76-28 win over the Western Tech squad. Horowitz had 17, Harper 13 and Hutcheson the same. Oakwood continued to annihilate the lesser clubs in the junior circuit. This time it was Bloor. It was the best game the team played all season and the final score was 75-38 for Oakwood. Hut- cheson and Horowitz led the way, Gord getting 16, Izzy tallying for 25 and Brown hitting the target for 15. 86 Parkdale ended Oakwood ' s chances of catching Harbord as they surprised the Blue and Gold 54- 51 in a ding-dong battle at Oakwood. In a tight defensive struggle the Oakers lost their second in a row. Humberside ' s tight zone defence prevented the team from shooting and Humberside hung on to win 36-33. In the next game the Oakers played, they were beaten badly for the first time this year. The story was that Oakwood only hit 19 percent from the field while H.C.I, hit 45 percent. The score was Harbord 69, Oakwood 32. Oakwood ' s next encounter was with Central Tech for third place in the league. In the first minute Harper scored three quick baskets and the game wasn ' t in doubt. Oakwood outdistanced Cen- tral by 77-33. Horowitz counted 21, Hutcheson scored 17 and Greg Swaluk scored 7 points. In the finale at Western Tech, Oakwood was going for 100 points. They fell short but still beat Western by a country mile 89-40. Horowitz poured in 41, Hutcheson hitting from the outside hooped 30, and Bert WiUiams netted 6. In the playoffs in which Oakwood wound up third in the West, the team took on Jarvis which was second in the East. In the first game of the two game total-point series Oakwood came back and won 58-52. Hutcheson had 17, Horowitz 18, and Brown 10. However it was the last basket of that game scored by Jarvis that spelled Oakwood ' s defeat. O.C.I, lost a heartbreaker in the second game 38-30 and lost on the aggregate score 90-88. Horowitz was tops with 12. Congratulations to Mr. Gordon and all the players for a good season. mm fl Wi Wi  5Wi ! ffl SENIOR BASKETBALL T. S. S. A. A. C H A M P S FIRST ROW (Left to Right): Ray Nielson, Arne Tori, Ed Bobot, Blair Shotsy Slade, Eldon Nagy. SECOND ROW: Bruce McCully (Mgr.), Bob Ajitonyshyn, Gus Fakioni, Marv Morten, Gord Sturgess (Capt.), Sid Ackerman, Mr. R. .Q McKinney (Coach). Oakwood made it two T.S.S.A.A. titles in a row Be- sides winning the Toronto Championship, they won the ■St. Michael ' s College Invitational Tournament, and placed second in the Carleton Tourney in Ottawa. In the season ' s first league game, with four of five starters back from last year ' s champs, Oakwood over- whelmed Parkdale 93-48 Marv Morten led O.C.I, scoring with 25 markers, Ackerman had 20 points — mostly on long 20 foot shots, and Gord Sturgess pumped in 19. At Bloor in their next conference game the boys played sloppily, but still won 64-51. The next league encounter was against Humberside. The Huskies, who had lost their big scoring threat. Bill Moody, didn ' t stand a chance Final score — O.C.I. 78, H.C.I. 36. At this point in the season Oakwood and Harbord were tied for the Western Division lead. Playing at Harbord ' s court (smallest in TSSAA) the boys got off to a slow start in the first half, but outscored Harbord 23-9 in the third stanza, and pulled away to a 76-55 victory. Sturgess was the best player on the court grabbing 25 rebounds and scoring 18 points. Central Tech was the blue machine ' s next victim, as the Oakers drubbed the Engineers 75-50. In the next one, the boys walked off with a 77-33 bat- tering of Western Tech. The boys in blue came up with their highest score since the last Parkdale game as they squeezed by the Dales 87-50. Sid Ackerman was red hot in this one. He hit 12 of 18 field goal attempts and wound up with 29 points. Next they took on Bloor at O.C.I., and as in the pre- vious game with Bloor the Oakers threw away passes, shot erratic, didn ' t hustle, and with two minutes to go led 60-58. Then Morten scored 8 straight to pull it out — final score O.C.I. 71, Bloor 60. Playing on foreign soil at Humberside, the boys led only 5-3 at the end of the first period; but from then on it was Katy bar the door as Oakwood won over the once invincible Humberside 66-44. When Harbord moved in for a crucial game, O.C.I. ' s gym was packed beyond its seams. In this fast, exciting game Harbord tried to outrun the Oakers, but they fell as all others 100-89. Oakwood mowed down the two technical schools in the final week to finish undefeated in the West. They beat C.T. 71-37 and W.T. 78-46. The following week Oakwood played the East ' s fourth place team, Jarvis, in a two game total point series. Oak- wood won both games easily 84r50 and 72-51 to gain a berth in the semi-finals. Morten was terrific in this series; he ripped in 50, and Antonyshyn 32. In the semis first game at Riverdale, O.C.I, was both- ered by the Dales ' bruising tactics and just managed to win 53-45. Morten starred, scoring 22. Back in Oakwood ' s friendly confines, before a capacity crowd of 357, the Oakers manhandled R.C.I, and easily won 67-36. Thus it was that on Saturday night, March the 6th, Toronto ' s two unbeaten cage powers fought it out for the TSSAA championship. It was Oakwood (16-0) versus North Toronto (16-0). Oakwood led from the start, played great defensive ball and moved the ball well. They won coasting 55-31. The difference was Morten who out re- bounded the entire opposition 28 to 27, and almost out- scored them 26 to 31. Gus Falcioni was outstanding in this game. Congratulations to the entire ball club. Special thanks and congratulations to head coach Bob McKinney, and the manager Bruce McCully. To Bob Antonyshyn, Capt. Gord Sturgess and Mary Morten, who will not be back next year, the best of luck. They will surely be missed. 87 SWIM TEAM At the close of the football season, the Oakwood swim team took to the water, once again under the guidance of Mr. Wilson. After the less-hardy ones had dropped out, Mr. Wilson found himself with a small but talented group. In the first meet of the season, Oakwood defeated Bloor 123-118 and then they went on to romp over Central Tech 16148. The next two meets, unfortunately, were defeats at the hands of Humberside and Parkdale. The boys fin- ished off the regular season with a win over Harbord and a 3-2 record. Since the Oakwood Bantam swim team was The best in the West , they swam against North Toronto, the pride of the East, in the dual meet championships. Unfortunately, the Easterners proved too strong for our boys. In the T.S.S.A.A. championships Stuart Campbell came 2nd in the Bantam 100-yard free-style and Bob Deacon came 3rd in the junior 50-yard breaststroke. Congratulations to Mr. Wilson and his swimmers on a season of which they can be proud. Special congratulations to Stuart Campbell, Bob Deacon, and Dave Webster, who were voted the most valuable bantam, junior and senior swimmers respectively.

GYMNASTICS Gymnastics is fast becoming a popular sport and extra- curricular activity among the girls at Oakwood. This year, with the assistance of Pat Reid, general activities curator, and Mrs. E rle, sponsor, a gym club was or- ganized. The girls met every Tuesday and Wednesday night for about an hour, threw themselves over boxes and horses and collected numerous bruises thanks to the trampoline.

There was no mixed doubles tournament this year owing to a lack of time. We played badminton at both Athletic Nights and we were invited to a badminton clinic at Benson Hall. Our thanks go to Boo and Peggy for making it a successful year. 91 lv ! m i MISS OAKWOOD RUTH NAGAMI THE AT-HOME The At-Home was held this year on February 14th with a theme of Spanish Hearts . The en- tire basement area of the school was decorated with signoritas and bullfighters and the combin- ed gyms were beautiful indeed with a darkened atmosphere and a revolving globe whirling lights about the dance floor. Refreshments were provid- ed in the Games Room and the Camera Club was on hand to take portraits (which turned out very well this year, for a change). The Miss Oakwood finalists, Carol Lou Her- shorn, Joanne Minken, Ruth Nagami, Helen Sar- kozi, Nancy Searle, Kadri Tamme, and Martha Woodside were introduced just after intermission. The two princesses, Joanne and Kadri were pre- sented, and after a suspenseful moment, it was announced that Ruth Nagami had been chosen Miss Oakwood for 1964 and she began her reign by dancing to the Rose Waltz with Mr. Tovell. Our thanks to the Dance Committee and Don Pierre ' s Orchestra for making this years formal an affair to remember. COMPLIMENTS OF OAKWOOD RESTAURANT WHERE GOOD PEOPLE ENJOY GOOD FOOD 933 ST.

The Dance Committee supplied the setting of Christmas trees, a small cafe, and plenty of dancing space. The music was provided by Bob Cringan and the north pole again lent us a premature Santa Claus. But most important of all, Oakwoodites themsel- ves gave the dance its successful finish by their terrSic response and gay spirits.

The enthusiasm for it was so over- whelming that the auditorium was filled to capa- city and many of those attending had to sit in front of the stage or stand in the aisles. Perform- ing were many talented Oakwoodites, including Dave Morgan, who emceed, the Twin Tone IV, the Yorke Singers IV, John Angel, the Talismen Three, the Odd Quartet, Bob Koledin, Dean Nixon, Alex Kovaloff, Jim Brown, and Leigh CUne.

There were sports ranging from badminton to gymnastics which gave the students an opportun- ity to participate, and for those who preferred to observe only, a student-teacher volleyball game was in action. Anyone who had enough energy left, when the nets and equipment were put away, was invited to a dance which took place in the two gyms. The peak of the evening was the crowning of Madli Tamme as Miss Blue and Gold. We owe this evening of enjoyment to the work and co- operation of the G.A.A. and the B.A.A. Second Athletic Night The second Athletic Night of the year, which was held in November, was just as enjoyable as the first. The same athletic participation was of- fered but the teachers and students chose a dif- ferent weapon from a volleyball — a basketball. The bumps and bounces continued until the time came for the equipment to be rolled away and our thoughts turned to the sound of music in the form of a Hootenany in the Games Room. The entire evening was a complete success.  i K .

Ltd. It featured student models and a theme of Wardrobe Wizardry for the Modern Miss . All of the fashions, which were for spring and summer, had been made from Simplicity patterns and included clothes for school and the beach, and more formal styles. Despite com- petition from the other models, the star of the show was Miss Girls ' Club , Bill Franklin(?), in a lovely creation in green tafetta (actually it was a relic from the musty Masquers ' collection, dis- covered by Mrs. Charlesworth). Miss Johnston, the commentator from Simplicity Pattern Co. intro- duced this lovely young model and he was led on to the stage by his lovely young escort, Gerry Goldberg, accompanied by tremendous, thunder- ing applause from the audience (which, by the way, was completely female). Yes, Oakwood gave the fashion show an enthusiastic welcome home. A scene from THE MAD WOMAN OF CHAILLOT THEATRE NIGHT The excellence of a performance is due to the co-operation of many forces. This was the case in the successful running of The Mad Woman of Chaillot . The Girls Club, effectively took tickets and ush- ered all three nights of the performance. The Stage Crew did an excellent job of setting the scenes and lights. However the Masquers was the club in the spotlight, as it lent its talented actors and actresses to the Qakwood stage. The play was under the skilful direction of Miss Dunlop and the cast of the play included Marcy Jakob, Michael Wright, Hando Varep, Chaim Shustik, John Angel, John Leroy and Frank Liebeck. Ed Gural and Kadri Tamme gave memorable per- formances also. We extend our congratulations to all these clubs. RELIABLE CUSTOM TAILORING AND CLOTHING 651 ST. CLAIR AVE. W.

Now, with a mighty shrug He laughed and sang, while man was tossed into a black domain and set upon his course. Following the stars in hurled madness around a sun that never died. — Natalia Cherniak Then rivers ran with blood — mere outlets to a sea that now encased the flesh ' s continent. But He, displeased, looked once with shame upon the nakedness and crudeness of first attempt . . . And thus, unfinished, rolled the parchment Round; and sealed it lay in dusty shelves behind a window holding rainbow colours — Whilst time slipped onward. And restless stirred the Hand that yearned to build a Universe. So yet again. He parted doors and groped within — and Hand met Dust . . . Then Fury, Strode in passion let; the Mind about to burst with vivid plan. And now, created He a Man of rock and molten Steel, with fire within, but ice without. THE PROPHET Russell A. Steventon DAYDREAMS Thoughts In swirls of rose and grey Misty, hazy thoughts Thoughts of now and yesterday Gently etched in rose and grey. — Sharon Singer 102 G e« Oave peck ov PAGE SPONSORED BY HOOPER ' S DRUG STORE 103 THIRTY BELOW Through trackless northern wastes plods the man-creature, alone in the bone-hard cold of thirty below in the Region of Black and White Absolutes. Jet-black beard tinseled with hoary white; once- supple parka brittle and numb; gasping, straining breath, choking at the onrushing winds; eyes drip- ping frozen tears; yellowed teeth biting away the stinging slap of the icy blasts; numbing feet stum- bling, shuffling, stamping, rebelling against the pure, crystalline Absolute Snow; heart pounding the warm blood through the canals of the body, defying the cold from without — cold against heat, death against hfe; the Omnipotent challeng- ed, the Inevitable refused. The boots become heavy. More and more, the snow grips them with a grip like death. The move- ment of the legs becomes mechanical, firm steps give way to aimless stumblings. Thoughts of any practical importance sUp away. Only the world of the fantastic, of tinkling icicles, of snowy planets swirling through ice-bound space, of a silver sun with tinsel rays, of ground of ice, and heat re- placed by cold . . . numbness . . . drowsiness . . . eyelids heavy with ice and sleep . . . Snow begins to swirl over the body where it has fallen. Breezes stir the hair of the parka collar, like an invisible hand. They eddy and swirl around a lonely tree and shake its denuded branches with fierce rapidity. A little furry white creature scur- ries across the path, not stopping to examine the inert form in the snow. He scurries into a little hole by the tree-trunk and disappears. Nature has given him the wherewithal to survive in this land of Absolutes. Gusts of wind have driven the snow into a nat- ural gully where rests a little dwelling made of animal skins mostly covered with snow. The en- trance is packed with the marks of many foot- prints. Out of the tent and into the dim light of dusk steps the dark form of a man. He is thin and hunched over. His face is pallid from long periods without sustenance; his eyes are sunken and dull. He gazes into the sky and sniffs the breeze. He carries a spear. He expects to find noth- ing except inevitable starvation and death. Yet he doggedly cUmbs out of the gully, sensory organs alert. He is met by the stinging blasts of wind and snow. Then he sees a body. Satisfied he is dead, the hunter prepares to dis- member the body. His animal instincts have taken over completely. He feels only the gnawing hun- ger and the biting cold. He looks up and curses the cold and curses the snow and curses his lone- Uness. He removes his knife from its sheath and prepares for the grisly work. He will take only as much as he can eat. At least he will live a few weeks longer. Then, maybe he will find some game. The hunter turns over the body. He looks down into the cold dead face. He touches it with his hand, feels the contours of forehead, nose, mouth. An overwhelming sense of loneliness comes over him. He cries openly as he does the only thing that win keep him alive. And in the Region of the Black and White Absolutes, a man knows what he is.

W. Oshawa and Don Mills Shopping Centres I wonder what he is thinking of . . . sitting there, content, wise-looking, at peace with the world. Comfortably seated on an old time-honoured stool, he breathes rhythmically and smokes his pipe. With each puff, the white smoke curls creatively, fading into the summer quiescence. One long brown arm leans heavily, the hand proudly arched, the fingers stiffly curled about his cane. The other hand caresses his familiar companion, the Pipe, with whom he has conversed many a time in thought. There he squats, watching. The pigeons, greedy fellows, fly when not pur- sued by the neighbour ' s dog, and settle with ruf- fled wing on the lawn, hungrily pursuing tidbits. All the while, each beady eye shines with cautious wariness. The garden is small. Just a patchwork of slow effort; nevertheless, a Lilliputian paradise. Now he rises. The pigeons, of which one is beautifully white, fly, startled. With slow, deliber- ative steps he paces to the screen-door, a frown furrowing deeper upon his ancient features. The screen-door slams with a sharp annoying protest. Seconds later, the pigeons return, continuing their patient persistent search. But the white one has not come back . . . Natalia Cherniak THE STORM It lashes from the sky. It spatters to the ground; It sweeps across the lake Till all is lost in sound. It makes the trees bow down Unto the earth and up; It frolics over mounds Just like a little pup. When all its fury thus is spent. It then goes back to sleep Till it regains its strength To come again and weep. Ross E. Hayhoe 106 Gus Syndusky 13 Indian Portrait 107 THE SAVAGE AND THE EARTH A savage roamed The untamed plains and hills, A slave to Nature ' s whim. Beneath his feet An undiscovered world Stored riches For the day that he would call. Yet still he roamed, His savage hunger driving him To pass in frantic search The endless sources of his pleasure Hidden by the mind ' s bent corridor. And yet he learned That Fire burned, That Seed would grow, That Winds would blow, — But knew not why. He learned but could not understand. So terror seized his mind. He raised to his Enigmas Images of faith. To question not, but rather to proclaim His own base impotence before Their great Mysterious Force . . . And so again the savage trod The paths of Thoughtlessness. But now a strange call sounded in the mind. The corridor invited ' round its bend. The candle flickered through a mystic dark. The savage stepped to light. And then, before his reasoning The secrets fell. The pounding of his mind On door on door of mystery Destroyed the confines of behef, And now He ran. He roams no more. And to the glory of His mind The towering cities rise. The earth concedes the victory Of element ' gainst element And crushes ' neath His heel. His gathering power sweeps ahead From world to world, proud triumph flies Before Him. Slavery ' s dead. Smashed before the justice of His rise. Man. RODIN John Angel THE ANSWER Winter comes at last, to stay — The white ash of summer. The miracle does cease; Rebirth is not for ever; And the beautious green Does for one final season Flash red and gold and die. Will not blood relieve parched earth? Does no tear fall but freezes? And does each world and thus, A piteous moan to fall Dying in the cold? If flowers grow from seeds. If ever a child is born, If grass grows on graves, If stars shine at night, If spring has come but once, Then God is. — Warren Bourgeois 108 109 MAN IN THE 6TH DECADE OF THE 20TH CENTURY Russel A. Steventon THE QUALITY OF MERCY S STRAINED A handful of brave reporters huddled around the observation window to witness the gruesome spectacle and convey it to the public. Strapped to his nemesis — the electric chair, sat a young man awaiting the inevitable. The observers re- marked on his resolute expression, like that of the Roman gladiators as they paid tribute to their emperor in the words Nos morituri te salutam- us . He too, was about to die. His eyes had lost their lustre, and were directed towards the huge glaring lights, which hung like elixers of life above him. His nose, once a tower of strength and determination, now stood mean- ingless above a motley complexion. Tiny beads of sweat danced in a macabre fashion on his fore- head, but an aimless movement of the arm, swept them into oblivion. His parched dry lips caressed each other in a final farewell. Now all eyes were on his hands — his ever-twisting, ever-turning hands that, after a final gasp of agony, were taut. Thus a man, like the beads of sweat before him, was swept into the dark shadows of obUvion. — Bernard Marlow THE VICTORY The crowds moving to the starting hne stirred a pall of dust which hung over the track. Beads of sweat on the foreheads of the runners were as much due to the waiting as to the muggy at- mosphere. His nostrils were irritated by the motionless dust; each fibre of his body tightened and every pore was persecuted by sweat. Time, like the dust, hung motionless in the air. The pall stirred as at a signal. The metallic voice cut the silence, On your marks ... For a few ete rnal seconds every muscle strained for the sound. With a crash the starting pistol ' s re- port descended on his mind like a curtain of steel. His taut muscles, freed from the yoke of inaction, now propelled him furiously. Thought would have been an intruder in his mind from which every spark of energy was drained to feed the screaming muscles. His senses, his instincts, the taste and fear of an impossible victory, drove him on like an emerald spearpoint. Thus, by infinitesimal degrees, he drew free of the fleeting shadows who taunted him with their presence. All but one fell back — one, recorded only by the dim light in the corner of his eye, only by the whispered sounds of its passing through that chaos. His own breath was a gale, the dust that had irritated now made lungs scream for mercy and the sweat was now a bUnding tormentor. And onward before the green flame. Suddenly the goal flashed before him with a crystal brightness, the white horizontal line gleam- ing in the distance. Dimly beside him he sensed the shadow. He leapt before the flame which forced the supreme agony from his physical be- ing. The goal ahead, the shadow fleeting with him, the flame; all combined in the final flash of ecstatic misery. The pure white tape snapped be- fore him and darkness fell. The sobs which racked his body lessened. Dis- tantly the voice of cold steel said, upsetting yourself again? The flame was gone and his mind returned. Bitterness and disgust over- whelmed him as he gazed at the sterile, stuffy room; the harsh whiteness of the nurse ' s uniform, and the emerald twinkle of his tears on the chrome of his invalid ' s wheelchair. Warren Bourgeois 110 THE BARBER SHOP Sleepily, Erwin Ronner, Canadian Citizen, working man, opens the front door: it is time for work. Walking, half-dreaming, down the street, he remembers his youth in Germany — He was happy then, ambitious. Not every German youth of the depression had the chance to attend Uni- versity, especially to study medicine. No, he was a very lucky boy. He will be someday surgeon, his parents had boasted. Now Erwin grappled in the bottom of his frayed pockets, well worn with the use of years, and fitted them into the lock of his shop — well not quite his; he only rented the store. Wiping off his soiled shoes and entering the store, he removes his dingy brown overcoat. It ' s a good overcoat though; twenty years old now; might last another five years; he might not last another five years. He is forty-nine now, father of two boys and a girl. The boys were killed in the war, the Great War, but he tries not to think of that too often now. He left Germany in nineteen forty-eight; more opportunity in Canada, they had said. Herr Ronner, ambition stifled by fate, yet still proud, scrubs himself as he learned to do so well at university. He even learned Latin. At home, he knows, scrubbing the dishes, is his wife. His daughter married an Austrian businessman; doesn ' t write as often as she used to. Children get that way. Erwin, a man without a future, but a barber with a dream opens the door of his barber shop with a dehberate pull, sits down, and waits for his first patient of the day. He will someday be surgeon, they had said. — John Lejderman MOTHER AND CHILD Russell A. Steventon From a closet in the corner he takes out a stiff white frock, ties the strings behind, and looks at himself proudly in the spotless mirror. He had been proud of another uniform, but that is better forgotten. Expanding his chest, smiling, breathing in the almost antiseptic air, he can catch a glimpse of a nurse fading away in one corner of the mirror, while from the corner be- hind, just faintly, he can hear Doctor Ronner, Doctor Ronner, will Doctor Ronner please report to the operating room. He sets out his tools, his operating instruments, as though preparing for brain surgery.
