68 THE NEW ERA FORM IV A Room Teacher .Mr. Bell Room President . Ted Speers Room Representative Cliff Kitson Boys’ Basketball Rep Nicholas Peech As usual tlie 1938-39 class of IV A was located in the Chemistry Lab. Late in the year, to contrast the dullness of the students, the room was brightened by some new lights, and the walls and desks were painted with silver and “whitewash”. The boys’ basketball team had a snappy season trying to retain the pennant. They lost only one game through the season schedule and came up in the finals against IIB. Unfortunately, however a streak of bad luck entered and they lost the play-off game by the close score of 22-20. The line-up: Charlie Powers, Nick Peech, Wal¬ ter Baer, Stan Yablonski, Greg. Grant and James Semper. The girls this year did not enter a basketball team in the inter-form series. However, the girls came back brilliantly to take top honors in the inter-form swimming meet. The team consisted of Peggy Good¬ en, Gladys Pue and Beth Craw¬ ford. The boys were not so success- fid in their task, due to lack of support. The boys who turned up however made a very good show¬ ing, Bill Myers and Nick Peech winning first and second in the diving. Allen Gaboon was also on the team. During the winter IV A held a very successful room party at Jack’s slide. After an evening of healthy fun the students returned to the Collegiate for refreshments and some more fun. Jim Reid and Jasper Richardson represented IV A on the B.C.I. bas¬ ketball team. Jasper was among the leading scorers at the begin¬ ning of the season but he slipped during latter games. Cliff Kitson, old faithful of the dramatic club, represented IV A in the Major Production this year. He very capablv played the roll of “Uncle Jim”.
