IXE Our class is at the end of the hall, Nine E is the name, the best of them all. Let us begin with a smart little lass, Catherine Doyle, the science scholar in our class Who can tell the difference 'tween a beaker and a glass. Gail and Shirley are very good friends, They're always together, right to the end. Next is John Smith who likes to be on time, But rarely is seen before one twenty-nine. Leonard asks questionsg Don answers back. Joseph sits as though he were perched on a tack. The two Eddies are the best of pals, They both like looking at tall pretty galst Eleanor Stadler a teacher will be, The lucky students from homework she'll free. Lillian, her sister, keeps us happy all the while With her special million dollar smile. Lloyd Stockton comes next on the list, The bubble-gum man should never be missed. Mary Ann and Joan always do their best Waiting till their brains can get some rest. Vaughan has lots of get up and go, But when there are tests it just doesn't show. Keith and Jerry are an inseparable pair, They sit in class and comb their hair. Sharron Ward's blonde hair is curly and short, And she always is a very fine sport., Leonard Rodgers is the quiet guy, who makes a lot of noise. Bill, Frank, and George are guys who like to play with toys. Nancy's sweet and quietf maybe we should try it. On Monday, lrene's always blue. Too much weekend ! Is it true? Victoria Sanderson or Vicki to us, to remain in top position is simply a must. Then there is Maureen who would rather sit in class and dream. Josie and Frances I will make as one, two fine girls who are lots of fun. Shirley Sojka, a pert English lass is the best singer in the class. Pamela Wasilik is short but sweet, a real swell kid you'll want to meet. Our Italian Queen, Geraldine Yachetti, is just crazy about home-made spaghetti Louis Zamprogna's suggestions in class supply us all with laughing gas.

t IXD My first year at Bishop Ryan High School has turned out to be truly a wonderful experience. The shift system is quite different from anything we have had before. Our class Nine D goes from twelve-thirty till twenty to five with a ten minute break at three o'clock. The funny thing is that the teachers are up bright and early in the morning rotating from class to class, and in the afternoon they are just as cheerful. Like any other grade nine students we have a great amount of homework, You may think Nine D is inconvenienced because of its position in St. Eugene's School basement. To tell you the truth, we don't mind at all. Just knowing that we are to be the first students of a new modern co-educational school convinces us that we need to sacrifice something in order to be worthy of our school. Now, to getyou acquainted with myclassmates in general. They come in assorted colours, sizes and shapes. Among the boys are a few excellent basketball players tyou know, the kind that toss their gum into the waste paper basket from their desksl. Then, we have a couple of skyscrapers. Well, maybe I did exaggerate a bit, but are they tall! Then we have the very ambitious and industrious kind, especially during our break when they play hangman on the board, We all do. We can't talk in the hall so we occupy ourselves by chalking on the board. We have a great group of boys in our class. I just wish some of them were taller and heftier. Then we would really see some action at the football games. A few of them are on the football squad and were working out their muscles during the few short warm months we had in nineteen fifty eight. Nine D has an array of girls from blondes to brunettes and every one of them is charming. Most of the girls co-operate with each other and are helpful in more Ways than one. For instance, at our break, most of the girls are thoughtful enough to bring an extra mouthful for a friend. It is truly a relief to know that We have a group of girls on whom we can depend. Notebooks are constantly on the exchange and if our pens run dry a spare one is easily found. Some are in- telligent as well as pretty. I can remember one of the girls saying after her exam, Gee that exam was hard. I think I failed. fl can't say flunked because it's bad English. J Then she got her paper back--only 98070! Wouldn't that be a wonderful way to fail? - Valerie Paulishyn
