THE NEW ERA 71 Keith Scott: Keith is our maestro of music and art. When he can’t solve an algebra problem he just sits down and plays “I can Dream can’t I”. Marjorie Sproule: Another quiet blonde. (Very unusual for blondes). She has quite a time to hit a pass in Alg. Adam Lawson: One of those hap¬ py-go-lucky kids who never has his homework done. It sometimes backfires on him in Physics period. Steve Morris: Steve got a type¬ writer this year and was he proud. Mr. Bateman was happy about the whole thing because for the first time he could read his physics experiments. Edith Hart: She’s the little girl who is always looking over her specks. Could it he at the boys? Jessie Hayes: She has travelled plenty to get her education. In Bill Cavanagh: “Does Mr. Ashley mark Composition hard?” Doug. Carey: “Does he? He takes five marks off tor having a period upside down.” Traffic jams cause fewer accidents than pickled drivers. A mill cannot grind with the water that is past. the past three years she has been taking school at Findlay, Virden, and good old Brandon. Her ambition is to he a flying hostess. Dal Harris: Dal seems to he hav¬ ing a hard time to get his Grade XI Latin. He says it was the downfall of Caesar and it’s soon going to lie his. Favorite expression: “Tough luck. Kid”. Mike Lychacz: Mike is one of the quiet type. He only visits us occasionally for an English period. (Lucky fellow). Vivien Dodds: There’s a colleen fair as May, For a year and for a day; I have sought by every way, Her heart to gain. There’s no art of tongnuen or eye, Fond youths with maidens try, But I have tried, yet tried in vain”. —Old Song. —J.S. He “Minds are like parachutes—they only function when open.” “No man can ibe happy without a friend, nor sure of him until he s un¬ happy.” He “To be rich in friends is to be poor in nothing.” •»..—....—....—.... 904 Rosser WRIGHT WIGHTMAN JEWELERS Phone 340’; A store, like a school, must be good, if the results expected are to be obtained.

70 THE NEW ERA Ruth Ramsden: Ruth is one of those girls who can keep her Chemistry experiments up to date. She’s sometimes known as “Candy Kid”. Dorothy Reirson: “Dot” (for con¬ trast). You wouldn’t believe it if I told you she could run! She sure can she always heats her brothers home for dinner. Gordon Knowlton: Gordie makes a very excellent M.C. And what a dancer! He’s always trying to “fill us” with silly ideas. Phyllis Murdoch: My what a coin¬ cidence she should follow Cord. Never mind Gordie, soon you’ll he able t o get the license that lets her follow you all the time. Marjorie Caruthers: “Marj” took six weeks off for a holiday with scarlet fever. I guess it was be¬ cause she couldn’t get her Chemistry experiments done. Connie Carter: Her home town is Harding. Took her Grades X and XI by correspondence at “Education Point”. She also served as a catcher on the hall team there. Allen Cahoon: Allen is one of those lads who liked English so much that he returned this year to get in on our little get together. He used to go out with a gal named Peggy, hut he “good- en” keep up with the competi¬ tion. Kenny Coker: He’s the lad with his tongue on “Union hours” and his brain making up for it by working overtime. Reth Crawford: She’s our blushing school president. She is an ar¬ dent hockey fan. Daughter of the “Great Crum”—she’s just another “Crumb off the old loaf”. Greg Grant: “Tubby” is Mr. Bell’s chief target in Chemistry per¬ iods. His ambition is to be able to play basketball or ping-pong well. A little dieting first, don’t you think? Lawrence Stuckey: IV A’s strong arm man. Ambition to be a physical director and also to consume one cup of grapenuts at one time, without fainting. Nick Peech: P.L.S. (physics lab. stooge). Ambition to do a chemistry experiment without breaking some apparatus. Glen Speers: Better known as “Gunner”. Ambition to kill a crow with the first shot so he can have crow stew every day. Peggy Gooden: Peg is Lizzy’s side- kick. She seems to have quite a time running around with different boys. I guess she can’t make up her mind(?). Will some handsome lad please help her? Betty Young: “Lizzy” is IV A’s man hunter. She believes in bringing them back alive. So far she has been unsuccessful. I wonder why ? Cliff Kitson: IV A’s veteran public speaker and actor. I)o you think he’ll ever reach Hollywood? Keep in touch with your local newspaper for the answer. Vera Gray: Vera seems to know a lot about Charlie McCarthy. She is rather silent in school so I guess she does all her laughing and talking on Sun¬ day night listening to Chuck on the radio. Julia Maziar: Julia’s the little gal from Justice. She seems to find English very injustice. Dorothy Tinline: Dorothy is usual¬ ly quiet. I guess she saves up her energy to solve her Algebra problems. Can you imagine anyone getting 98 in Algebra? The only other person we know of who has tied that mark is Mr. Bateman(?).
