% ornt KENT COUSINS: Farm-boy, a J.P., was a deadly fella on the football field and you just don ' t go into corners with him on the hockey rink. Country Cuz also played volleyball. Kent hails from the land of the hills, Leader, Sask., and is the Roughrider ' s only hope. PETER HAMMOND: Pinky, another J.P., was a hefty addition to the football team until he hurt his shoulder. Wally played hockey, tanking around the ice, and after Physics is over for the year, he won ' t have any arm-hairs left, thanks to Honk. JAMIE MCDONALD: Early on grim mornings, Frogs could be found hunting for flies for breakfast. He play¬ ed football and basketball, and took part in many Track and Field activities. A hit with all the girls, he often kept his thoughts about them under his hat. Jock ' s brother could usually be heard long before he was seen. He was a J.P. (Jane ' s Pal), too. BILL COTTICK: Blocks was noted for his brilliant wit, cutting sarcasm, and control as a J.P. A write-up cad, CY played sr. football and basketball and was re¬ sponsible for an antique portrayal of the Dansker in Billy Budd. Asked about girls, he murmurs: “Not for many years.” BILL GARDNER: After much thought, Bill decided to be- cotne a J.P. Bill has an L.T.D. Wrong-way Gardner was an understudy quarter¬ back in sr. football, and played midget hockey, senior house football, and sr. House hockey. Bill has an L.T.D. Renowned for his fine ' 51 Plymouth (and his L.T.D.) and unusual bed¬ time hours, Coifi still man¬ aged to pull off one of the highest averages in the class. JOHN KIDDELL: Killer ran in the provincial Cross- Country and topped the midget hockey team in the scoring race. J.P. John was also a judo fan, who struck terror into the hearts of the Grade Eights. Neil’s buddy, the two somehow never went on double dates. DOUG ARNETT: Arny was an extra sailor in Billy Budd, and was commonly heard saying ‘hanging’. Leadfoot was on the Eagle Advertis¬ ing staff and when he was¬ n’t playing intra-mural vol¬ leyball, he was patronizing the Goodyear Tire Company. We expect big things from him next year. 19

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

PAUL BELL: When Bobby wasn ' t playing senior hock¬ ey or Badminton, he was getting his lawn mowed, and in the course of it, he lost a lizard. PB, hailing from Calgary, is a bow- legged skier, but makes a big splash off the diving board. MICHAEL BROOK: Baby Huey packed a mean punch on the football line, this year, and was very hippy on the volleyball and bas¬ ketball courts. Mike grew in an inverse proportion to his marks, but look out next June. (GRONKI). ANGUS CAMPBELL: Not easily upset by trifling mat¬ ters, Gus-Gus met every problem with detached cool¬ ness. Our bespectacled mouse played senior foot¬ ball and midget hockey . . . or was it midget football and senior hockey ... or was it football hockey and senior midget ... or was it . . . NEIL DUNCAN: Neil is some¬ times happy, or so he tells us. He had a preference for Jeans this year, especial¬ ly John’s. Dune squeaked out a great portrayal of a rum-soaked footpad from the old Bailey in Billy Budd. However, three cracked ribs have temporarily retired him from the stage. BOB COLQUHOUN: SJR ' s only full-time-weekly-day- boy, Lurch took time out from winning medals skiing to come to some classes and exchange letters with the wife. Cooney was a senior soccer and part-time hockey buff. Noted for his ' ' laugh ' ' , the enthusiastic Calka had many feuds with Brook. PETER FAHLGREN: Bow-wow returned to bless us for another year. He played a hard-hitting game of foot¬ ball, throwing his meat around on the line; Pete didn ' t frequent Chem. clas¬ ses until around exam time. DAVID FITZJOHN: Charles Atlas Fitzwhat ' shisname hur¬ ried home to his body¬ building equipment prompt¬ ly at 3:17 every day. A soccer MAN, Fitz spent his off hours maintaining a high academic standing, and writing his own Maths, text. C jra J i rad nates 20
