YEAR BOOK, 1955 Page 23 FORM lA REPORT On September eight, 1954, Our class, lA, was seen at our door; With Martha as President, Donna as Vice, The rest of the class were as quiet as mice. First came our picnic, at the school farm. Where we caused our teachers distress and alarm; Singing and laughing we went on our way, And tired we were at the end of the day. In October when leaves are off every tree. We played basketball with our rivals IVB ; The game was terrific, and spirits were high, We lost by one point, oh how we did sigh ! When Ramabai came, the weeks when we give To children in India to help them to live ; Each girl in lA gave all she could spare, And we were the first to turn in our share. And then came the season of singing good cheer, And everyone knew that Christmas was near ; Our form had a party to bid our farewell. And say to each person a Joyeux Noel. ' The Soft-Hearted Ghost was our form ' s next endeavour, I am sure you ' ll admit we were all very clever; Lynn and Isolde were there to direct us, And the rest of the school came in to inspect us. And now you have read a report written here, Of all our activities throughout the year; Mrs. Atkins who taught us all year in lA, Now truly deserves a long holiday. CLASS IB In September, back to school ; Where IB class could meet ; We each trooped in with a happy smile, And quickly chose a seat. We hadn ' t been there long, I ' m sure, When prefects were employed: And then our picnic at the farm W hich was certainly enjoyed.

Then later as the days flew by, The game was badminton. The next event for IB class Was putting on a play: We all joined in, had lots of fun, On this important day. But all good things must have an end ; As so the saying goes : In IB class ' case it was — The final exams arose. Then soon the day for leaving came : Some happy and some sad ; But when the names who passed were read, I ' m sure they all were glad. And so the 55 IB Was surely a happy year ; And we extend to our Miss Boyes, A hail and hearty cheer. IIA CLASS HISTORY When we came back to school this fall We did not want to come at all ; Our minds were full of summer joys, Of swimming and diving, of fun and noise. We organized a basketball team Who were ALMOST always on the beam. Coached by Marg Benson, who took great pains And led by such players as Joynt and Haines. To the semi-finals at last we came, But VA outplayed us ; a very close game. And right in the middle of all this fun Another treat came for everyone. One day in September we climbed on a bus And went to the farm, a whole group of us ;
