ovvn GERALD ROBINSON: Gerald McBoingBoing, back from Neepawa this year, was another early riser, Conway played soccer, and was in charge of fencing in Out-Scouts. Jack took several courses by correspondence, but taking a break from the grind, he hypnotized him¬ self into believing he was Reveen for a short while. Boing belongs to the Butter ' s Club, but all the same, he eagerly made up posters to stamp out cigarette smoking. Gerald intends to go into the Advertising business, or be a dentist. COLIN MONCRIEFF: Monty was a full-time boarder for two-thirds of the year, and on his escape, became the Sixth ' s answer to Hy ' s and Duffy ' s on wheels. Throwing the Grey Cup party this year, Monty was a pic¬ ture-hog while quarterbacking the senior football team. Still a dapper dresser, Monk went out in his hot six Monza and into Craig ' s last year ' s area of hustling. Eye¬ brows held down center on the hockey team and will likely do well in Track and Field. No longer with the band in Cadets, Colin is now Ltnt. He has plans for Queen ' s next year and lots of golf in the summer. We wish our member of the SJR redheads the best of luck in years to come. BILL RAMSAY: Banana Bill was a real busy fella this year. He coached Bantam A ' s and B’s, played hockey for the Monarchs all Fall and Winter, and still pulled off good marks, proving that you can eat, sleep and zzt hockey and still find time for other things. CONGRATULATIONS on being voted Rookie of the Year, Bill. Docter Germs is still going to be a medicine man, and is for Princeton all the way. Chiquita was notorious for his monkeying around in classes, as well as his apeing of certain people. An honourary member of the 9:00-3:15 club, Bill often had to rush off to a practice with his fellow- Simian team-mates. HUGH ROBERTS: Hughie Baby was the Sixth ' s man-about-town. Talking fast foreign cars and taking time off from his heavy schedule, to grind it out in Math class, Doodles was the Eagle ' s Artwork man. Our hustler ' s ambi¬ tion is to drive an Army truck when he grows up, but in the meantime, he is satisfied to do caricatures and show us how to be a real playboy. Hugh ' s summer-time activities are, surprisingly, long-distance canoeing, swimming, and camping out. Sgt. Roberts supported all the school dances, displaying his snappy brogues and you could set your clock (3:17) on Nick and Hugh. He is going in for Commercial Designing. Full of sound and fury, signifying nothing. NICK RODGER: Silent and wise, Nick is our Kelvin representative. You would never guess that this aloof, ever-patient, and sombre young man is a basketball star as well as being a mature member of a well-known crowd of boppers. Despite his enthusiasm and time-consuming interest in Sports, Nick man¬ aged to hold a medium high average in the class standings. 17

CLARK FRASER: Old King Cole was a merry old soul and many a joke cracked he. Clark had a part-time job at Labatt ' s this year, and kept the form intoxicated with laughter. Super-Detonater was the source of the explosive mirth which shot through the class this year, gunning people down in its path. On the football field, if there was a hole in the line big enough to drive a truck through — sure enough, there was Clark! Fizzer took a hand in House Soccer and sr. Basketball, as well as being CO in Cadets. Small wonder that he sometimes felt tired in classes. Best of luck in your usurpation of the Red Skelton Show, Clark. MICHAEL FOX: Foxy, the Yearbook Staff, slipped in a few crafty sentences here and there and adroitly endowing the Yearbook with sly quips and an adept imagination, our crafty editor did the Yearbook early and subtly slipped away to New York for the Easter Holidays. He managed to dodge the girls with finesse and thus keep up his busy schedule. A Soccer man, he aptly ground it out on the Eagle in mid-March and still came up with a good average. Have an expert time in Architecture when you get there Super-Renard. ALAN GRAHAM: Big Chief Graham Wafer, of the Early-Rising Tribe, counted coupon girls this year, frequently dating his squaw, Nancy. Al and Stoney were real good butties, often visiting the 4D together. Ugthorp did not just channel his literary talents to writ¬ ing essays for the Eagle this year, but also wrote a couple of letters for a deceased dorm-mate, rescuing him from his many ad¬ mirers. Al was the star of sr. Soccer, but didn ' t stop there, and pulled a few old In¬ jun tricks in House football, leading Young to a victory, and putting the Championship in the head-dress. Al, a true Nomad, now hails from Koostatak, and plans to return to the wilds after University to set up a practice as a Veterinarian. It will be hard parting from the blood brothers and the school he has so long been used to. “A feather in his hat.” RODGER LUCY: Last year, Rodger the Dodger considered the pen to be mightier than the sword, but since he took up fencing, he now thinks that the sword is a more effective weapon. (Foiled Again). As a rule, Rog ' hung out in the library, soaking up more history and boning up on his chess. He still hates Grade Eights, and if given another year, may even accept football despite its lack of bloodthirstiness. C jradi uatcs IAN HARTLEY: Coon came back to entertain us for his third year, but this time from Toronto, taking part in hockey, football and House sports. Spook prefers opposites, going in for blondes. Receiving the shaft of Cupid ' s arrow the first term, he found Zelda Zorch the second term and from then on it was Mover Hartley (ZZZZ) Ian just loves cool logical, intellectual arguments and was often seen calmly reasoning out his opinions in the Prefect ' s Common Room. Our ski-bum is going in for Architecture but if not, we wish him the best in Home, Sweet Africa.

BOB ROPER: Si senor, it ees Cisco Roper who ees often accused of taking a siesta in Math, class. Ropes still wore stylish shirts, but when he turned up at the school dances, he put everyone to shame. Bob took time off from his hustling activities to slip out of his natty duds and into something more durable to play football, hockey, and House sports. Pauncho was a CSM in Cadets, and the acid test of whether or not he was a true Sixth- former came on the Father and Sons Week¬ end. Have a good summer. Bob. BOB SANDERS: Stubby got his wheels, finally, and received many congratulations on achiev¬ ing his 16th birthday. As soon as he got his new Rambler, it was Honk! , Honk!” and off for East Kildonan. Stub showed the form the pitfalls of marriage, with his smooth and untroubled relationship. Captain Stub (of the Out Scouts) spent a lot of time on Val during the Easter term, but when exams rolled around, he scraped the bottom of the barrel and squeaked through, just, much to the frustration of Phil. He plans to go in for Commerce, and as a gift to help him on his way, we are going to give him one gross of extra-large handkerchiefs on his I 6 4 birthday. (They are a long way apart aren ' t they, Bobbie.) STEWART SPRAGUE: Another mature member of the form, Stu expressed his views reason¬ ably. Slow to get started, but like a run¬ away freight train when he got going, Stu was a real menace on the football field, but often got fouled up on the basketball court. Between times he had to conserve his energy, lying full-length on the Prefects ' Common Room couch each noon hour. He took time to snap a few amateurish candids for the Eagle, and we thank him for his pains. MICHAEL WALTON: Mike played at football, finally got his Driver ' s Licence and has an 8:30 curfew. Marksman of the Cadet Corps, he daren ' t go AWOL because he ' ll get grounded for a year, horsewhipped and thrown in the brig. A dancefloor darling, he divided his talents evenly between basket¬ ball and scholastics during the Easter term. Since his is the last write-up of the form and we have lots of good wishes left over, we wish him the best of luck OVERSEAS next year. Ta ta Michael. If you don ' t have anything nice to say, then don’t say any¬ thing at all. 18
