THE NEW ERA 61 FORM III D It seems that all former III I) classes have been of a high calibre. We feel that we have maintained the high standard this term. For example, take the active part III I) played in school sports. Our girls’ basketball team reached the finals, where they were defeat¬ ed by II C. Two of our girls made the school team. Our hoys gave a fine showing in the swimming meet. Several of our number en¬ gaged in bowling. With this back¬ ground, we should make good competition on Field Day. Our large representation in the Discussion Group and our part in the Major Production show the wide field of III D’s interest. We had three representatives in the cast of “The Adorable Age”: Hazel Penman, “Claribel”; Anne Mur¬ phy, “Harriet Ayers”; John Gra¬ ham, “Grant York”. Incidentally, we are very proud of our actor and actresses. Ill D had two parties. For the first, we tobogganed at Jack’s slide and returned to the school for refreshments. An impromptu program revealed much hitherto undiscovered talent. The second party was a reward for class ef¬ forts in the ticket-selling cam- paign.The students and their friends were divided into groups for a Scavenger Hunt. Grenville Rates’ team won, although every¬ one thought his own team more deserving. After lunch dancing was commenced and the tired feet forgotten. All in all, we sincerely hope that we have contributed to the pro¬ motion of school spirit. If we have, we may truthfully say that it is largely due to the untiring efforts of Miss Insley. Hazel Penman: Capable class pre¬ sident. Hazel has a “way” with both students and teachers. Anne Gloch: Our secretary who knows her job. Has both brains and beauty—how does she do it?
