31 HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF ' 60 - Suzanne North - It is ray privilege as historian of the class of ' 60 to recall some events we regard as highlights. To begin a history we must have a starting-point. That starting point is the day we entered Balmoral Junior High for the first time in September 1957. As we sat in the Gym waiting to be assigned to our classrooms, we felt extremely proud of ourselves at having passed from elementary school into junior high. To us this was something really big. This superior attitude lasted until we came face to face with those human monsters - Grade IX students. In spite of the fact we were convinced they breathed fire, ate Grade VIIs for breakfast, and knew more than we could ever hope to learn in a thousand vears, a few brave souls ventured forth and made names for themselves in sports, clubs and academic studies. These people learned from the leaders among the grade nines at that time how to be the leaders of our class. Our Grade VIII year was a little less formidable. We were not quite so afraid of Mr. Kemp, and the other teachers became people and not just names in the morning notices or faces in the hall. Miss Potter, for instance, in Grade VIII was known to us as the Library Lady, and was as adept at col¬ lecting fines on overdue books as the Sheriff of Nottingham was at collecting taxes. Unfortunately, we had no Robin Hood to save us from our fines or even to pay them for us. In fact, the closest thing we ever had to Robin Hood was Murray Quance, who shot his elastic bands with the same accuracy as Robin shot his arrows. The crowning day arrived when we entered Grade IX. This was to be our year; the year we were to lead in track and other sports activities as well as drama production, year book publication and activities of the music group. Only one shadow hung over our year - grade IX final examina¬ tions. But the thoughts of exams did not stop us from entering these activities and enjoying them. Many people gave outstanding performances in their field of endeavour. Who could ever forget Bart Wood ' s performance in the spring concert. Armed with a decoy duck and a blue diaper, Bart really convinced us we were really sitting in the middle of a river in China. Louise Burt has set us an example by serving outstandingly as Presi¬ dent ' of Students ' Council, and a student of high academic standing. Academic studies, however, have not interfered with her extra-curricular activities, have they, Danny Windeatt? Many of us will remember our teachers as each morning they ran hurriedly up the front steps of the main building and in the door. Their running was not in eagerness to. teach their classes, but eagerness to escape the onslaught of pigeons who flocked around the door in squads. As we walked in our side door, we felt extremely lucky at having only to contend with the occasional outrider. As we leave Balmoral, we think of a great educationist ' s definition of education - Big jugs pouring into little mugs; and although the mugs may forget some of the math and language they learned at Balmoral, we are sure they will never forget the wonderful things that happened in their three years here.
