MUIR MEREDITH: Meow put a liberal amount of work into his relationship with people. Pussycat played senior football, volleyball, and basketball this year (when he was in the mood). Preferring girls farther from Winnipeg, Muir left the girls alone this year. Muir occasionally commented on the teaching methods in maths class. Teaching others fluent and hardy Spanish phrases, our ski fan was also a priest in the school play. Good luck in commerce next year Muir, may no black cats cross your path. PETER HAMMOND: Wally, one of our school Vice-Captains, was an excellent football player and made a cracking good show in one St. Paul’s game. Also a senior hockey player, Pete never hogged the puck. Our hefty judo expert knocked the stuff¬ ings out of Mr. Girard during P.T. class. English class was usually interspersed with Pinky accusing Mr. McLoed of reading something intothematter” i.e. English. Mitch and company used Wally’s room to experiment in colored lighting and pink proved positively the most prefereable pigment. In con¬ clusion, Pete is a great guy and we wish him a rosy future.

tT te School Captain Block, our 16 th School Captain, who came to SJR in grade eight has distinguished himself in both Academics and Athletics. He won various scholastic prizes in grade eight and nine and in grade eleven he became a Junior Prefect and co-editor of the Eagle. In his senior year he became our School Captain and Advertising Editor for the Eagle. The Physics scholar also made the Bisley Rifle Team, as well as playing a leading role of a priest in the School’s production of Murder in the Cathedral.” Our Great VolkswaGONE driver was one of the Greater brains in the class but unfortunately met his match in math class with John Nanson.

GvduMiu BILL GRAY: What with organizing the carnival, taking a role in the school play, being the first dayboy prefect, and patting out other small prob¬ lems, our popular devoted” Socred politician managed to fit in football and hockey. Bumf, Liz’s friend (?), Lallyed around Fort William, but eventually fell a victim ofG.G. (Gabby Goldthorp). MICHAEL BROOK: The big M” was a senior prefect this year and got along very well with all the masters. Mike threw his weight around on the football field and also played senior volleyball. Dropping basketball for education, Mike got the expected results. Baby Huey” had many a one sided love affair this year and proved to be the perfect dorm-mate for Brooks. Retarded in the sports field because of a bad back, we hope Mike has a quick recovery and a happy future in Calgary. JOHN KIDDELL: Before caging the female field, John was a Feld man until he was struck by the dirty M.” J.B. was all broken up because he did not play football this year. Due to a fractured left wing, stump became the top garbage man on the Senior Hockey Team. Our red-haired senior pre¬ fect was miscast in the play as a priest. His greatest ambition was discovered to be to catch up in either algebra, geometry, physics, or chemistry. Good luck John, in this and your many other am¬ bitions. JAMIE McDONALD: A first term day bug, our pun-filled Frog jumped to become a boarder and prefect second term. This cool quarterback left football after two games with a gibbled right hopper. He toured General Hospital for a week, sure he was going to croak. Our C.O. was on the shooting team. An active track and field man, Chopper Jr. was often heard saying: Come on Schlude, slow down, huh?” Caught in a one cow stampede, Frog dispersed his distress in a pil¬ grimage to Vancouver, co-driving Wilson’s Mustang last Christmas Holidays. We hope Trent University can survive his humour next year. JIM MACDONALD: Our favorite vegetable tried to sprout muscles in the wright room this year, but not to much turniped. Veg played senior soc¬ cer and was rooted to the volleyball courts in late fall. Jim also branched out as a senior prefect this year. Carrot top proved an admirable consular in settling many of the problems which cropped up on the third floor and was unsuccessfully trying to improve Nanson’s appearance all year. We are certain that Jim will harvest his share of the high marks in June. Lettuce wish him luck. ANGUS CAMPBELL: Straightened out from last year Gus-Gus” found that he played senior hock¬ ey and senior football — his own claim to fame being Mag’s garbage man. He is easily recognized by his running in confused circles or by the crash of his geometry set. Our hard working mouse tried, in vain, to spread his compassion for mustard to other tables, but Kirb stopped him for good.
