Sutik Jom Catfjmtdd ' Twjed THE BODY THE MIND THE SPIRIT As the Centennial Year progresses, countless projects are taking place throughout the country. The Sixth Form, not wishing to be left out, unanimously decided to do something unforgettable for the school. The gym’s unsightly glass brick windows have long been the home of many birds which chose to build their nests in the broken glass bricks. The Sixth Form’s Centennial project is to replace these windows with something more suitable and meaningful. Three large panels, made of some unusual stuff’ called Vibrafoam, are been carved by the crafty Industrious Sixth. The finished panels will then be coated with fibre glass and then put in place of the three windows on the west side of the gym. Each panel has an image carved in it which will symbolize some a spect of school life. Fire will symbolize the mind; the tree will symbolize the body; and the eagle will represent the spirit. These pictures will be set out on a map of Canada, coast to coast. The Vibrafoam and the fibre glass are being supplied by Park-Hannesson Company. If all goes well, we hoped to have our project finished by Prize Day. Joffk Jom Cuttemd ' 7wject Everybody is doing something this year for Centennial and St. John’s-Ravenscourt is not going to be left out. When the Centennial fever hit our school, the great minds in Form V discussed the school’s many activities, and decided to undertake their own project. Various suggestions were given, and after much discussion and deliberation, a project was chosen. The land between the Headmaster’s residence and Thompson House is of no use to the school, and at present, is covered with a lot of dead, unsightly bush. Led by Sandy Shandro, Gavin Smith, and Kit Rowley, the Fifth Form decided to clear out this area, and then landscape it with the aid of Mr. Gorrie. At present, this area is cut off from the rest of the school grounds by scrub trees and rotted hedges. These will be removed and new trees planted. In the plans, provisions have been made for a barbecue pit and a miniature golf course which all students will be able to use. Plaques are to be placed at prominent positions on the grounds to show future students the accomplishments of the Fifth Form, 1966-67. Work is well under way, as Day-boys and Boarders work on the grounds every Saturday. The project should be finished within a year; a lasting tribute to the Fifth Form of 1966-67, and to Canada’s Centennial Year. 34
