Earl Grey School - Triangle Yearbook (Winnipeg, Manitoba Canada)

Text from Pages 1 - 52 of the 1952 volume:

A FEW WORDS TO THE GRADUATES FROM OUR PRINCIPAL Working through a three year course in school, sometimes seems like travelling in a thick forest. You cannot see far ahead until you come to a place where a clearing has been made. When you reach a clearing you have room to look around and choose a new road. For three years now you have been travell¬ ing along winding trails through a forest of facts and now, at the end of Grade IX you are coming to a clearing. From this clearing you have an opportunity to look ahead. Already you have heard of the new roads that lead out through Senior High School to greater opport¬ unities beyond. In our free country you are not told which road you must take. You are al¬ lowed to choose the one in which you believe that you can work most successfully. One of the roads leading from the clearing is a short-cut to the world outside the forest of schooling. This is an easy and down-hill road for the short distance but it leads out to a long, rather rough road along which the opportunities for advancement are few and far between. No one should follow this road who can possibly go on to the better opportunities to be found along the higher grade roads. The higher grade road lead on into the forest ahead and to make progress on these roads you must learn to help yourself more and more. On some roads you use your hands and become skill ed craftsmen. On others you use your head more than your hands for a long time. It is uphill going but you finally come out on a clearing high up on the hill where you can look out over the surrounding forest and see many op¬ portunities that cannot be seen from the lower roads. From here you can best choose the kind of work in which you want to make a successful career. Having reached the first clearing at the end of the Junior High School Course most of you will go on into Senior High School. The climb there will be a little harder but after you get to the Senior High Clearing at the end of Grade XI or XII the road becomes much smoother and the opportunities along the way are many and good. Go on if you can to the University clearing. Good roads lead from there and many opportunities await all who have learned how to work and how to think for themselves. Your teachers and your school mates wish you good travelling and fine suc¬ cess as you now leave us to go into Senior High School. You are leaving behind you a good record as a Senior Class and a new class is following closely in your path at a very satisfactory pace. You will of course keep well in the lead. Success to every one. MR . IfcLEOD RETIRES.. . This year one of our teachers - and now our vice-principal - is retiring. We all know Mr. McLeod, and pupils of Earl Grey from twenty- five years back can remember classes with him. On the occasion of his retirement, we thought it would be fitting to have in our year book an account of his life. Until Gr.8, Mr.McLeod attended Fort Rouge School. For his high school training, he was a student at the old Central Collegiate, which has now been replaced by Daniel MacIntyre. His favorite subjects were languages: English, French and Latin. He disliked music as he claims he couldn ' t sing. Although he wasn ' t a great athlete he did enjoy skating. He attended Manitoba College of the Uni¬ versity of Manitoba and took the Classics Course.This course took four years to complete, The first two years were devoted to a General Course followed by two years of Latin and Greek only. Mr.McLeod ' s favorite spot is London and in¬ deed it must be for he ' s travelled to the British Isles four times. He enjoys travelling by boat but would sooner travel by air - ' if it weren ' .t so expensive . He has travelled through the States, particularly California and hopes to visit Rome and Italy. Before the end of the First World War he served in England for a few months but didn ' t manage to get across to France. In World War II he instructed the cadet corp at Earl Grey School with the help of the other men teachers. He received his first teaching experience at ‘a summer school near Lake Manitoba. His first permanent position was at the Aberdeen School where he spent two years. Last January Mr.McLeod completed 25 years of service at Earl Grey. He taught Latin and Maths and has had a few classes in Spelling and English. Latin is his favorite teaching subject. Mr.McLeod has a few words to say about the importance of Latin: 1. ' The influence on the English language, 2. ' Roman civilization has taught us the worth of the individual which is the basis of our democratic life ' . Lately, he has taken to photography as a hobby. He enjoys taking pictures of landscapes and scenery. His favorite pet is the dog - all kinds and breeds, ' as long as he ' s a friendly fellow ' . At present time he own a cocker spaniel. When asked what his predictions for the stu¬ dents of to-day were, he replied: ' Students of today ought to make every success in life.They are all right - and doing good work. Although the people often say that the modern gener¬ ation is shiftless, they are as energetic as generations gone before . Following his retirement Mr.McLeod will re¬ side in Vancouver. After he is settled, he plans to begin his travels again. His hope is to reach London in time for the Coronation. We are all sorry to see Mr. McLeod leave, and we wish him all the joys of retired life.

If the pupils disregard these rules and present some of their own this organization will break down like a machine, and give the school a bad name.Also the pupils themselves will take away their privileges, such as sports, year books, assemblies for im¬ portant dates or social fuhctions. A school like this becomes a prison to the pupils, as the teachers and the principal must clamp down on them, taking away much of the friendliness between pupil and teacher. When a school is like this, it might as well not be in operation. On the other hand, a school where teachers and pupils work together on friendly terms, thinking of what is best for the school and pupils, where the rules are obeyed cheerfully, becomes a school with a high standard of work and a real spirit of deraoc racy. The pupils of Earl Grey have every reason to be proud of the school they attend. The entire system is based on a democratic oblig¬ ation to give pupils every freedom and privi¬ lege possible. In the past our school has main¬ tained a high standard of work and a sports- man-like spirit in play. It is up to the pupils to pitch in and do their share of the work, for only through co-operation can we do our best and keep the school ' s standard high. If we want as much as possible from our school then we must give it as much as pos¬ sible. This doesn ' t mean only on the playing field but also in the everyday classes. By this I mean giving our undivided attention to the teachers and showing them every possible courtesy. These are the things that are re¬ garded the highest. Earl Grey is a fine exam¬ ple of a well run school, so let’s do our best to keep this spirit and not forget the cour¬ tesy which has helped to make our school a good one. On behalf of the graduating class, I would like to thank all of the teachers and Mr. Hen� - ly for their untiring efforts and unselfish devotion to make this year for us a success.

EVENTS THE GRADE NINE HALLOWE’EN DANCE On October 30, under the expert leadership of Mr. White the Grade IX classes had a party. At 8 o ' clock boys and girls began to arrive. The boys at the beginning were too hesitant to ask the girls to dance but a number of Bingo Dances soon solved the predicament. Barry Wait as Master of Ceremonies introduced the song numbers. Entertainment for the night was pro¬ vided by the different classrooms. Jean Toe- vens and her young sister honoured us with a snappy tap dance. Finally the refreshments were served to the enjoyment of al1,especia1ly the boys. An orderly,but rather noisy line was formed at the left for the refreshments. Although the ladies were supposed to be first the gentle¬ men? managed to get nearer the front of the 1 ine. After a few more dances the party ended with everyone joining in to gather souvenirs of the decorations. We would like to thank all the teachers and students connected with mak¬ ing the party a success. HONOURABLE MENTION EARL GREY STUDENT RECEIVES HONOURABLE MENTION FROM LUXEMBOURG Earl Grey is honoured to have amongniits students, Barbara Gray. In grade 5 when she was ten, her painting which was done in water¬ colour, was chosen along with 9 others from the world,to be hung in a museum in Luxembourg. She received a great surprise when Miss George the art superintendent, who is retiring this year, presented her with a folio of pictures, which went with the honourable mention she re¬ ceived for her painting. The ten pictures in the folio were sketches of castles, churches, and scenes, of places in Luxembourg. Barbara thinks they are wonderful. We hope she will make a success of her talent, and we wish her the best of luck in the work she loves so well. GWEN HOGG -- ROOM 12. CHONITA - OPERETTA PRINCIPALS AND INSTRUCTORS SAVE THE CHILDREN FUND Saturday, April 19, 1952 a group of girls met Miss Mitchell at Corydon Avenue and Os¬ borne Street before 8 a.m. They set off in two’s to tag for the ‘Save the Children Fund in the Fort Rouge district. The girls tagging were: Barbara Pearse, Vicky Vandale and Louise Boitteaux of Room 17; Margaret Kossats of Library Class; Audrey Wilding and Barbara Bailey of Room 27; and Donna Penrose, Sandra Martin and Mary Champion of Room 12. A letter of appreciation received from the tag day committee reported that the girls’ boxes contained a total of a hundred and fif¬ teen dollars and eighty-two cents ($115.82) Good work girls! THE OPERETTA DANCE - DONNA PENROSE 12 On the closing night of our operetta, ’Chon- ita , the cast and all others who helped to make it a success were surprised by the an¬ nouncement that there was to be a short party. Mr. Kozoriz’s leadership and skill as a Master of Ceremonies soon had things rolling quite smoothly. There was a bingo dance, one or two rope dances, and the rest were regular dances. These included jiving and slow dancing, al¬ though with some difficulty, to the teachers, naming two or three as especially helpful. The operetta waltz group were asked to do their dance for those who failed to see it. Then cookies and drinks were passedyout to all, and with this the party came to a close. Everyone was out of the school by midnight, and the closed doors ended the fun of the Operetta. MUSIC CHONITA THE OPERETTA It is ten years since Earl Grey has attempt¬ ed to produce an Operetta. Again this year on March 18, 19, 20 and 21, the Junior High,under the direction of Miss E.Crookshanks presented ’Chonita , a gypsy romance based on themes of Franz Liszt. The setting of the story is in a gypsy camp in Hungary. The Princess of the tribe, Chonita, has turned eighteen, and at a party for her, Stefan, her boy lover, tells her of his love. But Murdo, her father, puts a catch in the run of things by telling Chonita that he made a promise to her mother on her death bed that Chonita should go to Budapest where they are made very welcome by her aunt and uncle and her playboy cousin, Konrad. Konrad falls in love with Chonita and tries to persuade her to stay - and Stefan appears as a singing minst¬ rel to complicate matters. But a gypsy mes¬ senger comes to tell Chonita that Murdo has been seriously injured. Chonita rushes back to the gypsies with Konrad and Stefan following. Konrad is bored by gypsy life and both Chonita and Stefan are depressed. Murdo is worried about the situation and asks Daya to do some¬ thing about it. Daya calls a meeting of the tribe and reads the stars. The stars forecast that Konrad is to go to Paris, and he leaves immediately, hardly saying goodbye. Stefan and Chonita are reunited -- and the story ends happily. The principal rolls were played by: Murdo: Dave McCheyne; Chonita: Marilyn Whitecomb, Pat Burland; Vivian Verstate; Daya: Jo-Ann Robert¬ son,Margaret Meyers,Pat Robinson; Stefan: Gary Fenske,Joe Kuzniakowski; Baron Stanescu: Dave Prismall, Walter Lysyk; Baroness Stanescu: Vivian Hayes, Jaqueline Garson; Konrad: Dave Stevenson, Joe Johnson; Emil: Arthur Parker, Robert Taylor. The performances, except for a few minor hitches, went off very well. The choruses - particularly ' Soft Call the Birds’ - were well presented and were enjoyed by the audiences. The principal characters deserve credit for their excellent dramatic and musical perform¬ ances. They did a job which was worthy of much older and more experienced actors and act¬ resses. Backstage, the pupils who were not taking part in the musical end of the opera were busy working on costumes and scenery. All the stage settings were made by the students under the direction of Mr.Love and Mr.Caldwell, and the art work was done by Miss Hodgson and her assistants. We want to say thanks to these three for their remarkable results. We also wish to thank Miss Brown and Mr. Alpert for their hard work with individuals making them into convincing gypsies. They did a wonderful job, making movements on the stage effective and picturesque. Gratitude is extend- ed to Mr.Lawson, Margaret Lyons and Lynn Char- lesworth for their work at the two pianos. Miss Campbell also comes in for thanks for her work with the dancers. The gypsy dancing was both colorful and enjoyable. The ball room scene made a very lovely picture with the girls’ evening gowns and the boys’ colorful uniforms. They danced like true Lords and Ladies. Special thanks is given to Miss Crookshanks for her wonderful work with the singers and choruses. Under her direction the operetta was a very real success. On the business end of the Opera, we were successful.There was a total intake of $626.15 on ticket sales. In the Junior High, Boom 12 took top honors, selling to the amount of $68.25. Room 27 came second with $54.00, and Boom 22 third with $50.00. In the Elementary grades - Boom 15 took first place with $47.75 We want to thank all the pupils and teach¬ ers who worked behind stage with make-up, cost¬ umes, lighting, and those who worked to keep people at the right place at the right time. Their help went a long way in making the opera a success. This project was a fine example of co¬ operation on the part of the whole school. It is hoped that it won’t be ten years before Earl Grey again produce an opera. THE FESTIVAL There were no Junior High choirs from Earl Grey entered in the Festival this year,because of the Opera. However, two of the Elementary choirs were entered and did very well. The Grades 1 and 2 Class-room Choir, under the direction of Mrs.D.Rennie, won the Handel Shield with their performance of ’The Happy Child’ by Margaret Lyell, and ' There Was an Old Woman’ arranged by Herbert Wiseman. They received marks of 80 and 81, a total of 161 from adjudicator Alex Bedshaw. They sang again for the Annie Pullar Trophy, but did not suc¬ ceed in getting it. In the class for Grades 2 and 3 Class-room choirs, Room 2, under the Mrs.Rennie, placed seconds in the competition for the Purcell Shield. They sang .’Hansel and Gretel ' ,a German folk-song, and ’A Spanish Rhyme’ by E.J.Staple- ton receiving marks of 79 and 82, a total of 161, from Mrs.Redshaw. Congratulations for work well done. • THE ORCHESTRA This year the school ensemble won both high praise and hig h marks at the festival. Under the direction of Miss Frances Port, they won first place in this class. Mr.Ronald Biggs the adjudicator, said: ' This performance gave me enormous pleasure. Although it was not en¬ tirely perfect,they played like true musicians with a love of the music. The first violinist was a very good leader. They made music and en¬ joyed doing it ' , Members of the ensemble were: Vivian Ver- straete - 1st Violin; Patricia Pats - second violin; Audrey Howard - 3rd Violin; Mary Cham¬ pion - 4th Violin; Margaret Anne Lyons - Piano They played two selections. ' The Tambourin Dance’ by Rameau, and ' The Andante Cantabile from Beethoven’s First Symphony receiving 88 and 87. They have played at different places around the city, and at Graduation. We hope they will carry on at Kelvin. Good luck, kids!

LITERARY i THE HOOF AND MOUTH DISEASE The first case of hoof and mouth disease was reported as far back as November 1951. However, most of the public was not yet aware of thbs fact. A veterinarian in the Weyburn region of Saskatchewan suspected that certain animals had the dread virus known as hoof and mouth disease. He sent his report to the head health inspector at Ottawa, saying that he would send samples of the suspected virus to the laboratories at Hull. However, a negative order was sent back to the veterinarian saying not to send the samples and that the infection was only a stomach disturbance which caused the cattle to break out in a rash similar to the signs of hoof and mouth disease. Luckily, however, the veterinarian had already sent the samples to the laboratories at Hull. The Vet¬ erinarian’s suspicions were confirmed when the samples were tested and found to be the much dreaded virus. Serums were rushed at once to stem the outbreak. But nevertheless a ban was at once placed oh all cattle coming from the west. Immediately the United States placed an embargo on all cattle and hogs coming from Canada. Although the veterinarians worked hard to stem the outbreak, they could do nothing for the already infected herds. Then came the grim task of making the burial pits for the condemned livestock. Men and equipment began digging long, deep trenches to bury the live¬ stock in. The cattle were driven into the trenches where they were shot. Some of these herds were very valuable and among the most prized in the west. However, the farmers were given compensation for the cattle that they had lost. Even though the outbreak has been limited to a fairly small area around Weyburn, over a thousand animals have had to be des¬ troyed. This outbreak in Saskatchewan has dealt a crushing blow to Canadian economy. Cattle cannot be brought in from British Columbia and Alberta as they would have to pass through Saskatchewan. The United States has stopped all buying of beef from Canada. As a result Df the ban, the beef in Saskatchewan is piling ip because it cannot be taken out. People are Deing laid off from their jobs in the packing plants because there is not enough meat. How¬ ever, a member of Parliament predicts that markets will be open again in the U.S.A. in the near future. Recently foot and mouth disease has gone on the rampage in Europe and other parts of the world with Britain suffering severely. In Mexico, the Mexicans have been driving their infected herds into the hills to escape elim¬ ination. This has succeeded only in the spreading of the virus. Truly this virus is a threat to livestock all over the world and must be conquered by man. G. GILLESPIE -- ROOM 12, GRADE 9 The handling of the Iboof atnd mouth disease Is an outstanding example of the need for GOOD GOVERNMENT. DAWN DONNA PENROSE, ROOM 12 As Gayle walked down the street, the crisp autumn air brought unwanted color to her pale cheeks. A large German Shepherd dog walked at her heel, his gray coat gleaming in the late evening sun. Her auburn hair was blown about her drawn face, and the dog sensed a feeling of worried tension in the girl. As she neared the drup-store where the High School crowd gathered after classes, her steps began to lag, and thoughts of doubt flooded her mind. Then, with a murmured command to the dog, Gayle turned into the store. As she walk¬ ed down the center of the narrow isle towards a vacant seat at the back, she felt many pairs of eyes slowly looking her up and down. From one of the booths she heard a friendly voice c omment, ' What a lovely dog. Is it a pure-bred?’ ' Yes, it is,’ stuttered Gayle, suddenly realizing that the question was directed to her. ’I call him Dawn, and I have his papers. Before she realized what was taking place she was in the middle of the crowd, telling them of her months of training with the dog Time slipped by unnoticed, and Gayle talked on and on, holding the interest of everyone there. She related many of her fascinating ex¬ periences with Dawn, and explained how useful he was. Then a girl suddenly cried out. ’Seven-fifteen! My mother told me to be home by six-thirty. I have to go.’ Soon the group began to break up, and as Gayle was walking out of the store, a now al¬ most familiar voice called out, ' Wait for me. We both go in the same direction. As Gayle continued homewards after leaving her new-found friend at her gate, she said to Dawn, ’Dawn, before I had you, I was dependent on everyone else, a thing I have always hated. Now that I am on my own, I have freedom and friends, the two things that I have always wanted, but never thought to have’ . The proud seeing eye dog glanced up at his blind mistress for an instant, then both walk¬ ed happily up the walk. NORTHERN MANITOBA’S FUTURE Northern Manitoba got off to a bad start despite the reports of the experienced ex¬ plorer Dr. Joseph Burr Tyrell. He reported that it was a land of great wealth. When the Northern Ontario mines were helping to build a great Toronto, the people of Winnipeg could see little hope for the vast, remote area of which The Pas is the gateway. Only in the last 20 years have the potenti¬ alities of this country been appreciated. To¬ day Canada and United States have their eyes on Northern Manitoba because of the opening of Lynn Lake and the building of a railway and power plant for the tapping of nickel deposits there. Geologists and engineers are sure that there are many other metal deposits hidden by the rocks and tundra of the North. These rich¬ es can only be tapped when more power, rail ways, and roads have been developed. As all people of Canada benefit from the development of our mineral resources, it is only fair that the Dominion government should share in the work. Northern Manitoba does not depend solely on her minerals. There are great pulpwood,fishing and fur resources and thousands of acres of farm land that will be opened when the waters of the Saskatchewan river are controlled. Mr. G. Weaver, a Member of Parliament from Churchill stated that when the lid of the ’treasure chest is pried off this province will gain rapidly in wealth and population. Mr. Weaver may be a little optimistic in his pre¬ diction that within 10 years there will be a population of 100,000 in Northern Manitoba, but it is certain the natural resources of the country can be greatly developed. To the people who laugh at Mr. Weaver’s pre¬ diction, it is pointed out that when Sir John A. MacDonald, in the 1880’s, saw a great future for the plains of the West there were plenty of scoffers. FRANK SMITH ROOM 12 INDIA India is a land of contrasts. In the south the people are small dark and illiterate. In the north the people are tall, fair and versa¬ tile. The hindus in the south have many diff¬ erent languages, over 300 in all. The most spoken of these languages is Hindustani. But the Mohammedans in the north have only one language, Urdu. The Hindus worship many gods, of whom the chief are Vishnu, Siva and Krishna. These three have been formed into a Trinity, and now are worshipped as one god. The Mohammedans believe in Allah who is much like our God. They also believe that Mohammed was his prophet. ’There is no God but God, and Mohammed is his prophet’. The Hindus main meal consists of curry and rice. Rice is quite common in Canada, but curry is not. It is a dish made of any meat except beef. It also contains many hot spices and vegetables, and has a khaki colour. The Mohammedans eat with a mild form of curry a flat wheat cake known as a piratta. They also eat rice, but are not allowed to eat pork or drink wine. The Hindu language, Hindustani, is hard and gutteral. It is undeveloped and crude, while Urdu, the Mohammedans’ language is soft, throaty and musical. This language is even more developed than our English. Urdu is now the official language of all India and Pakis¬ tan. The North-west of India is called Pakistan now and is the breeding ground of the Mohamme¬ dans. South of Pakistan is the land of the Hindus called India. In Canada the climate all year around is divided into two, the cold weather and the hot. In India the seasons are wet and dry. From September to December is the monsoon or rainy season. Then almost everyday it will rain at least three inches. The rest of the year is terribly hot and dry, except in the hills and mountains. The people themselves regard this opening of the Heavens very philosophically. They know that they cannot grow rice, their staff of life, without water at least ten inches deep. VISIT OF PRINCESS ELIZABETH What a wonderful day in the lives of the people of Winnipeg! Princess Elizabeth and the Duke of Edinburgh were coming. Winnipeg had been preparing for this visit for months. When she arrived I was at the radio listening to her arrival. Later my father drove us down to see her. We got out of the car on Osborne and waited. Soon we saw her come by in the car. She was really beautiful! After that we went home. Later at night when she was coming from Wildwood I went and saw her again on Pembina Highway. It was dark out and the car was all lit up. What a sight! This is one day I’ll never for get nor will Winnipeg. MYRNA POPOWICH REMEMBRANCE DAY In honour of the brave men and women who died in the first and second World Wars, the Junior High pupils of.Earl Grey attended church services on Nov.9 at St. Lukes Church. After an address from Mr. Hensly, two Room Twelve pupils read the scripture selection The Honour Roll was read, followed by a silent remembrance. Centering his talk on ambitions and good will, Rev. P. Johnson advised pupils to strive for success. Hymns were sung by the Grade IX choir. The service came to a close with, ‘God Save , the King. GEORGE GERRIE - GRADE IX 4 JACQUELINE GARSON - GRADE 9 GRADE 8 TO THE TEACHERS The students of Room 19 wish to thank their patient and understanding teachers for an en¬ joyable and interesting year. Mr. Kozoriz has been an ideal room teacher, and also Science and Guidance teacher. Miss Greenway, an amia¬ ble person, has taught us English and Miss Campbell has made the characters in Literature seem very real. We have spent many enjoyable hours in Study Reading and Library with Miss Mitchell, which subjects were helped greatly by Mr. Belton’s classes in Spelling. Mr. Al- pert has given us much more knowledge of our country’s history and we would like to thank him especially for his extra attention. Mr. McLeod has done his best to get exemptions for everyone in Mathematics, and Mr. Burns has un¬ wound a whole new world to us through the French language. Miss Hodgson, in Art, and Miss Crookshanks in Music, have given us much enjoyment. Miss Baird and Miss Skremetka have been very patient in teaching the girls Home Economics, while Mr. Caldwell and Mr. Love taught the boys ‘shops’. Miss Campbell and Mr. Kozoriz have put us through painful but gay antics in Physical Training all year. Again we wish to say a big ’thank you’ for a most interesting and memorable year. MARION NEILSEN -- ROOM 19 GRADE 8, ROOM 18 - MISS G-CAMPbELL DEATH OF A KING The King is dead - Long live the Queen When these words were heard February sixth of this year on the radio and printed in the press, whole nations felt a deep sense of shock and grief. Our King, whom we had come to feel we knew as a friend, was dead. The news was greeted with disbelief, followed by keen sympathy for the Royal family. In acknowledging George VI as our King we gave allegiance to our country and respect to the Mother land, England. For a while it was as if everything had stopped in the land and persons everywhere felt drawn to each other because they shared the same loss. It was a historic moment because George VI who has already become knows as the good king ' , had taken up his heavy duties when he did not expect to and had not been specially trained from childhood to undertake. During the war and ever since he had devoted himself to his duties with courage. His death brought home to the people what a good king he had been. Saluting our new Queen, we feel a deep sense of loyalty, not only because of England and Canada but because she is the daughter of George VI. Nations all over the world paid tribute to George, the good king. Canada observed the same period of mourning as Britain. Many countries held a day of mourning to show res¬ pect. Many kings and ambassadors came to the funeral of England ' s monarch and stood sadly by when he was buried in Westminster Abbey. Few kings have had such heavy duties to bear . Few kings have carried out their duties with such courage and loyalty. Few kings Have been so loved. In Canada we remember him with pride! Mourning for King George VI is mixed with pride and confidence -- pride in his record as man and monarch and confidence that Elizabeth, his daughter and our Queen, has inherited his love of country and duty. LOA HENRY -- GRADE g GRADE 8, ROOM 19 - M r.d. M. KOZOR I Z SPRING I went a-walking one spring day And saw on my path flowers bright and gay Robins joyfully their songs were singing Children carefreely were happily swinging Trees were attainting their gay summer leaves And orchards were beginning their beauty to weave. Meadows and fields were green grass growing Flowers, their petals were proudly showing Gardens out of the earth were soon appearing And rain bringing with it its thunder and fearing Homes were casting off their winter molding And Spring in all its glory was brightly unfolding. DEAR MOTHER NATURE I saw the robins ' way up high Fluttering and dancing in the sky And all around me as I pass I see the beauty of your grass. Dear Mo ther Nature. I saw many things you did This time your beauty was not hid I saw your beauty as an art And now a gladness fills my heart. Dear Mother Nature. 0 Mother Nature, strong and bold, Mother to both young and old Are you mother of field and tree Or just a wonderful mother to me? Dear Mother Nature. TYRA NEWHOUSE -- ROOM 18, GRADE 8 JAQUELINE BROWN -- ROOM 22 , GRADE 8. GRADE 8, ROOM 21 - Mr.S-E-LTSECKI 1952 - A RECORD SPRING OR SUMMER ? Spring season? Yes, but summer weather. That is what everyone was exclaiming during the Easter week. The temperature climbed to 84 degrees and was never much below 70. The song, ' April Showers ' , says that rain in April brings flowers and birds in May. With this weather, birds and flowers will be look¬ ing for the rain during May. Already leaves are budding, and birds, looking for a suitable place to nest, are actually feasting on worms from the earth instead of the usual dried berries and crumbs. Not only the school children are welcoming this weather for the excellent excuse of ' Spring Fever . Hammocks, chairs, pillows and blankets were made use of during the past week. The fatigued populace lulled and lazed in every advantageous spot. Children were restless unless granted permission to do what they wanted. But, as soon as errands were mentioned, who was more tired? Ask any mother and she will tell you. Where is all the ice? ' Here today and gone tomorrow’ is the old saying, but the ice of the Assiniboine River seems to have disappear¬ ed in a matter of hours! While going downtown people noticed that the ice on the Assiniboine River was breaking up and quickly finding its way into the Red. Returning home about five hours later, there was no sign that there had ever been any ice on its waters. Such lovely weather should be taken advan¬ tage of! And so it was by all. Farmers took the excellent opportunity to start their early cultivating. Tourists, also, used this chance to enjoy the many enchantments of Spring. The astounding weather not only awoke the people, but opened up golf courses, swimming pools, drive-ins and beaches. The heat sold out pop, ice cream, popsicles, and anything that rendered relief from the heat. Highways were full of cars streaming out of the city to various destinations of which the beaches were most prominent. GRADE 8, ROOM 22 - MISS E.CROOKSHANK t People certainly made a quick change in their choice of clothing. From coats and hea¬ vy apparel to sun dresses and light attire was what happened in Manitoba. Spring clothing was not even thought of as the temperature climbed. Summer outfits reached their height when people were seen sun bathing in bathing suits on the sands of Winnipeg Beach. Depart¬ ment stores all over the Province must be groaning under the heavy loss unbought Spring clothing has brought. Walking down a Winnipeg street, you would see storm windows hastily being removed, and quickly replaced by screens; Bus windows thrown up; ' doors standing open; gardens in the making; all evidence that this wonderful weather is definitely real. But Winnipeggers are too wily. They know that in this country, one can never be sure of the weather. So, they have not yet put away their Winter essentials because, perhaps, for all we can tell, we may be again shovelling snow in the near future. TO ANN ROBERTSON -- ROOM 19, GRADE 8 GRADE 8, ROOM 28 Here comes Room 28 with a class of 19 girls and 16 boys and our teacher, Miss Greenway, who is new to our school this year. Miss Greenway teaches us three of our main subjects, English, History and Literature. We are very glad to have had Mr. McLeod for our Maths teacher during his last year at Earl Grey. Room 28 wishes him the best of luck in the future. Mr. Burns has introduced some of us to French this year which is a very interesting subject. Many of us will continue French next year and even start Latin. The majority of Room 28 has had a feel of Mr. Kozoriz’s trusty old metre stick which has directed us on the path of Science. We all enjoy Art with Miss Hodgson and PT with Miss Campbell. Our class president is Graeme Macdonald and our vice-president is Doreen Folster. Our secretary is Frances Jarvis and our treasurer is Leonard Zoltanko. Betty Rykyta and June Sellar are our two outstanding figures in the speed skating races. Our top students are Arlie Geer, June Sell¬ ar, Agnes Hill and Joan Polish. Next year we will not all be together but we will all remember this year in Room 28. IRENE VANCE - JUNE SELLAR - ARLIE GEER ROOM 28 - MISS E.GREENWAY ► OUR TRIP TO CANADA We started our trip to Canada from Bremen on December 7, 1951. Our ship, the Beaverbrae left the harbour at 5.30 p.m. It was very hard for me when I saw my school and many other well known places along the river. But I had to say ' good-bye to everything. At night we passed Brevenhaven, the last German city. Next morning, when I woke up, I felt very badly because the ship was swaying from one side to the other. So I went up to the deck to get some fresh air, but when I came there the railing was full of sick people. We left Germany on Friday and passed Eng¬ land on Sunday evening. We came so close to the coast that we nearly could shake hands with the people on land. We saw France to our left side only as a black strip in the hori¬ zon. Then we came to the Atlantic Ocean, and ♦■here the troubles began. It may be enough if AN INTERESTING HOBBY For those who are interested in starting a hobby, stamp collecting is an interesting one which will bring you much enjoyment. You can begin by buying a package of stamps or even taking them off old letters, and fas¬ tening them into an inexpensive stamp book With the ones that are left over, more can be obtained by trading with your friends. In no time at all you will find your collection growing bigger and better. 1 tell that we had a hurricane for nearly four days. From the big telegraph station to the dishes, everything was damaged. Shortly after that nearly all children got measles. But af¬ ter sixteen days of travelling across the wide ocean we landed in Saint John, N.B. The C.P.R trains were waiting for us at the port. Then ' ‘the trip oh land began. Hours and hours ran by and we only saw forests to the left and right. They seemed to have no end. But when we passed a small town everybody was hanging out of the windows, glad to see a few people or houses. We all were a little frightened because we were not used to such a loneliness. On December 26 we came to Winnipeg. There were only few minutes left to say ' good-bye ' to our friends. Then we went out of the train with many hopes for our future and better opp¬ ortunities to come forward in the new home¬ land. UTE BAENSCH -- BOOM 28, GRADE 8 An enlarged knowledge of history is gained by saving stamps, since many of them have fascinating pictures of historical people and places. There is a set of Canadian stamps which have pictures of Confederation. Also there are pictures of such famous explorers as Jaques Cartier and John Cabot. The most fascinating thing about stamps is their different markings and color. If you look carefully at some stamps, you may find defects. These often increase the value of stamps. For instance, one stamp may have ' postage ' written on it and another may not Due to this error, the latter stamp will be worth much more than the other. The different tints and shades, also add a special gleam to stamp collecting. Stamp collecting is rather an inexpensive hobby and will provide many hours of enjoyment if properly kept up. My suggestion to you is to start, and you will find that stamp collecting is an enjoy¬ able and profitable hobby.

LESLEY ANN FOSTER -- GRADE A, AGE 10 A BOAT RIDE I came to Canada with my family on a great big boat. First we went out in the fresh air. Then a boy came and rang the gong to eat. We were in the first group to eat. The gong always rang in the morning, at noon and at night. It took ten days to get to Canada. I was sick one day in the boat when the waves were high. The last day on the boat the men were painting. When they were not looking I put some black paint on the red paint. It was nice to see the sun and the nice blue water I didn’t know what the people were saying. RAINER KYRITZ -- CLASS 6, AGE 8.

' ELIZABETH CHABLO -- ROOM 15, GRADE 5 GRADE 5 AND 6 - MISS I.CLEMENT SPORTS Sports — Boys SOCCER ELEMENTARY Although the Elementary, coached by Mr. Trawley had an unsuccessful season, they pro¬ vided their opponents with good opposition. MIDGET The Midgets, coached by Mr. Belton, did not do very well this season. Tieing one game they dropped three. Better luck next time! JUVENILE The Juveniles, coached by Mr. Alpert, did not do too well this season, winning one and tieing one game. However the opposition found them good competitors. JUNIOR This season the juniors won all their five games to win the division championship. They advanced into the finals with Principal Spal¬ ling as their competitors. The first game ended in a hard fought tie. The second game played upon a wet snowy field, was won by Principal Sparling, the score being 3-1. Much credit should be given to Mr. Lysecki for his coaching of the team. Well done Juniors! SENIORS The senior boys coached by Mr. White, did not do ad well as expected this season. Winn¬ ing and tieing one they dropped three games. lthough they had the necessary man power, Mr. White attributes the losses to lack of coach¬ ing, manpower, and goal mouth finish. Better luck next time seniors. BOYS SPEEDSKATING The speedskating coached by Mr. McLeod did not fare so well this season. The finals end¬ ed up with the Juveniles and Juniors taking third places and the midgets not placing. NIOR SOCCER FINALISTS VOLLEYBALL -- GRADE IX Inter-room volleyball this season was a one sided battle, going the one way for Room 12. They racked up wins over Rooms 11, 13 and Lib¬ rary but were finally defeated by the faculty in an exhibition game. Over-confidence on the part of Room 12 and the accuracy of the faculty, with the help of two Normal students combined for a trimming Room 12 never got over. The final score was 37 - 26. Outstanding players for Room 12 in¬ cluded Walter Lysyk and Frank Smith to name the most brilliant. BASEBALL Many grade 9 ' s graduate this year and they wished to take part in the choir. Since they couldn ' t participate in both baseball and in the choir only three teams were chosen to re¬ present the school, the Senior, Junior and Ju¬ venile. So far the Seniors won against Lord Roberts with a score of 15 - 11. The Juniors were the winners of one game, defeating Lord Roberts with a score of 19 - 17, but their luck turned when Robert H. Smith became the winners with a score of 21 - 12. The Juven¬ iles played a game against Lord Roberts with a score of 16 - 5 for Earl Grey. BOYS SWIMMING The Junior High boys ' swimming races held at the Sherbrook Pool went quite well for Earl Grey this year. In the 200 yard relay our team placed second. The flashy members of the team, coached by Mr. Burns, were: Len Stone Tech Bartlett, Brian Page and Ansgar Oleson. The Intermediate relay was very capably handled by Ansgar Oleson, Brian Page, Joe Johnson and Don Warrington as they flashed in in first place. In the boys ' individual free style Ansgar Oleson placed second and Joe Johnson was third. Good swimming, fellows! FIRST AND SECOND IN SWIMMING GRADE 7, ROOM 10 - INTER-ROOM VOLLEY BALL CHAMPS INTER-ROOM VOLLEY BALL CHAMPS, GRADE 9, ROOM 13 SPEED SKATING GRADE 8, ROOM 19 - INTER-ROOM VOLLEYBALL CHAMPS Sports - Girls INTER-SCHOOL VOLLEYBALL In the fall three teams were chosen to re¬ present Earl Grey School, the Juniors, Inter¬ mediates and Seniors. Of these the Seniors were most successful. They won their division but failed to win the championship. They dis played wonderful team spirit and good ‘sports¬ manship. Although the Intermediates had the makings of a good team, they played in all six games and were the winners of three. The Jun¬ iors won two games and put forth great enthus¬ iasm. INTER-ROOM VOLLEYBALL In Grade 7, Room 10 gave the best showing and is to be congratulated considering that for most players this was their first year of volleybal1. In Grade 8, Room 19 had an outstanding team and proved themselves worthy of it. In Grade 9 it was a battle between the Library and Room 13. They were both evenly matched and Library won with a close score. SPEED SKATING On the Junior team was Betty Rykyta, June Sellar, Norma Lamb and Marion Johnson. They came in second in the semi-finals and third in the finals. Individual Betty Rykyta made a very fine effort. SWIMMING Norma Lamb, Marion Johnson, Delphine Brown and Kay Curtis gave a good showing in the swimming races. Intermediate swimmers were Gwen Hogg, Lorraine Mattock, Janet Scotland, Gail MacDonald. 3RA0E 9, LIBRARY - INTER-CLASS VOLLEYBALL THE FIELD DAY A rather cool, dull Friday, May 16th failed to dampen the spirits of the competitors on Earl Grey’s Annual Field Day. All events were run off on Friday except the girls’ High Jumps which were concluded on the following Monday. Room 13 garnered the greatest number of points (44) to win the trophy for their room. Shir¬ ley Zelmer, Room 10, secured the highest num¬ ber of points (8) in the girls’ division, but failed to win the trophy. Three ties provided keen competition in the Boys Individual Trophy. Dave Hansell, Room 13, Bill Haywood, Room 21, and Dick Kruse, Room 21, taking 9 points each. Very well done boys! Some of the highlights of the Field Day were: KEN BAXTER, an intermediate, jumped a record smashing 15 ft. 8 in. in the boys broad jump; BARBARA DAWSON, a senior, took first place in the girls ball throw as she threw the ball a distance of 117 feet. GOOD FORM IN HIGH JUMPING Perhaps the greatest battle of the day was between the two Daves, Dave Hansell, Room 13, and Dave McCheyne, Room 12. They both jumped 5 ft. 9 in. in the high jump. Neither could defeat the other. Finally after a number of tries, Dave Hansell cleared the pole and Dave McCheyne touched the top of the pole by the narrowest of margins. At this time, on behalf of the students, we would like to express our thanks to all the teachers who made the Field Day a success.
