As we wander up 16th past Del’s, whom should we see but Margot Daw¬ son and her latest flame from 9B. Stepping inside we meet our bachelor friends, Ted Reeves and Fred Garnet, dreaming over their new discoveries, Beverly Anderson and Janis Torgerson. In the next booth is Lois Staines, the airplane stewardess, and Cathy Mitchell, who was thinking cf being a dietitian, but is not doing so well over her double sundae. Then we meet the two boys who have no ambition, Keith Hansen and Jack Mirtle, strolling out for a breath of air. Once outside we see Margie Sellar feeding sugar lumps to her pet horse and watching Pat Carvell and Phyllis Fraser taking turns at pitching baseballs to two certain 9G boys. Warren Williams, Ron Hughes, Eddie Fellows and Eric Nielsen, our star badminton players, are showing some interested listeners, Shirley McNichol and Marlene Ellefson, how to play the game. From here Joyce Callister, the gal that gets all the H’s and Beryl Reid from Saskatchewan, join us, to run into Donna Martin and Maureen Jensen dressed in identical clothes that they made in sewing class. Not far behind them is Loyce Robin¬ son, standing in front of Andy’s with Barbara Knight, Billie Nicholson, Pat Russell and Marlene Morrison, some more of the bright girls who are trying to pass first in the room standing. Harvey Trimble and Bill Gillett, our baseball pitchers, are watching Darcy Scott broad jumping with Harley Dyke from Victoria Junior High. Well, if it isn’t Hugh Grasswick and Graham Rendall, the two writers, coming down the street with medical students Ann Needham and Darlene Chapman. Felicia Leew, Merle Overton and Margaret Douglas stop their planning for the girls’ college they expect to attend, to wave to Eric Murray and Barrie Cyr who are off to give dancing lessons to less fortunate people. Resting under the shade of a maple lies Clyde Tucker, another unambitious boy. Arlene Renn, who is just getting over scarlet fever, is watching Bob Russell pack up his baseball equipment as it is time to go to supper. As we turn towards home, we drop in to see Mrs. McGimpsey, who is packing her suitcase for a trip to California where she will join Miss Barnes (Mrs. Thompson) after a hard year with 8A. 28
