All 50 of us.” Yes, these vibrant young initiates came parading in both doors of Broadview High School on Friday, Oct. 13, 1961—their faces displaying smiles, make-up and beards. The girls were adorned in Khaki uniforms, big boots, heavy socks and sun glasses. Their facial dress consisted of % of a beard and % of a moustache. They topped this off with straight hair and a peaked cap. Their jewellery — necklace, bracelets and anklettes, designed by themselves were made from precious sliced potatoes! The boys, on the contrary, were feminine from the word go. What with potatoe-sack pantaloons (4 inches above the knees) and blouses of the same material, set off with red ribbons and multi-colored buttons, rubber-tubes and short skirts, they represented most charming young ladies. To complete their outfit they wore full make-up, different colored glasses, one high-heeled shoe and ona high top boot. They were prepared for rain or ex¬ cessive sunshine—each carried an umbrella. The initiates paid homage to the seniors by bowing down before them and addressing them with “O Seniors, your slightest wish is my command!” The initiates spent the afternoon in performing “little tasks” prepared by the seniors. No doubt any initiate could tell you how many toothpicks long the gym is. Our ini iates exercised their vocal chords by singing nursery rhymes and Christmas carols. The last, but definitely not the least, stage of the initiation was carried out in the grade twelve room—(torture chamber to most)—where Heaven only knows what all took place. Remember? Who could forget?
