His Worship Mayor George Sharpe attended Earl Grey from Grades 1 to IX with such well-known personalities as Mr. J. Coyne, Governor and Mr. A. Beattie, Deputy Governor of the Bank of Canada. Mayor Sharpe recalls being class president in Grade VI. During each of his three Junior High years he was one of the class room executives. He undertook a two language course as he planned to attend University. At Earl Grey he especially enjoyed manual training. Being interested in music he sang in a choir in the Musical Festival which obtained the exceptionally high marks of 98 and 99. The choir was instructed by Miss Ethel Kinley who was then Earl Grey’s music teacher and who after¬ wards became the Music Supervisor of Schools. Later Earl Grey produced the operetta, “The Mikado” in which he played the major role of Pish Tush, a noble lord. The principal at that time was Mr. J.S. Little who came from England for the express purpose of converting Earl Grey into the first Junior High School in Canada. Mr. Little introduced the English sport of cricket to the Earl Grey boys. When Mayor Sharpe graduated from Earl Grey, he con¬ tinued his education at Kelvin High School. There he attained the positi¬ on of school president. It was also there that he was taught science by our present principal, Mr. Hensley. At Kelvin he was active in track and field and was a most capable referee for the inter-high hockey games. As he had always done well in mathematics Mayor Sharpe chose the five year course in Electrical Engineering at the University of Manitoba. When he graduated in 1933, he was offered an electrical engineering job in Peterborough, Ontario. He declined as the pay was not adequate and he did not wish to leave Winnipeg. During the depression years he sold shoes in Eatons Department Store. When World War II began, Mayor Sharpe served in the re¬ serve army with the Winnipeg Grenadiers for four and one-half years. As a transport officer he taught the recruits how to drive army trucks and motorcycles. When he left the reserves, he had risen to the rank of a lieutenant.

Their success depends very largely upon the co-operation they receive from the Class Reporters and others who write news, .articles, poems and other contributions of many kinds. Similarly in the whole school we try to make each year’s work better than the work of the year before. In this, too, we depend for our success upon the co-operation of every member of the school. What a difference it makes to a class if all are helping instead of nearly all helping and one or two hindering. When we look back over our School Honor Roll, we see the names of former students who in other years earned top places in their Junior High School Classes. Many of these have gone on and have earned top places after leaving school. Some are Doctors, some Lawyers, some Teach¬ ers, or Business Executives. Many are capable Home-Makers who are bringing up their own child¬ ren to be good citizens and perhaps leaders. Our honor students are examples of our best graduates of former years. Many of the classmates are equally successful and are leaders in the communities in which they live. Our School is specially proud of its Graduate George Sharpe, who, last fall was elected Mayor of Win¬ nipeg. Earl Grey Graduates may be found as successful citizens in every part of Canada and in many other countries. We have some fine students coming along this year as in other years. A few will be chosen as the Honor Students of 1955. Many others will be successful with them as they go on to higher grades. Our Grade IX Graduates will leave us soon to adventure into Senior High School and some later will go to Normal School and to University. We look to our Graduates of 1955 to take part, as former Earl Grey Students have taken part, in the Scholastic, Athletic, Musical, Dra¬ matic and other activities in the Senior Schools. We hope that the start that they have been given in Earl Grey will enable them to lead their classes and to go on to top places at each stage in their careers. To be successful is not easy. To be a successful leader is even more difficult, but not all are needed to be leaders. That person is most truly successful who is most useful and most happy in being useful. This success is possible to any person who is willing to work for it. To our Graduates of 1955 we wish the best of success. Be leaders if that is your future but whether you lead the group or follow a leader, every one aim to be useful and to be happy in being useful in whatever part of the world you may live and whatever the work you may do. Let us hear of your success in future years. Mr. C.A.E. HENSLEY Continued from Page 1 Mayor Sharpe entered politics as a Winnipeg alderman in 1947. He held this office until he became mayor in 1955. He is now occu¬ pying the chair which was presented to his father. Mayor Thomas Sharpe fifty-one years ago. Mayor Sharpe is happily married and has two daughters, aged eleven and sixteen. He is very fond of shooting and sailing. However, now that he is mayor he has little time for either of these activities. We are proud of the fact that Mayor Sharpe, a former Earl Grey student is today Winnipeg’s first citizen.

We especially wish to thank Miss Dickson for her many hours spent in the preparation of our book. Miss Hodgson helped greatly with the selection of our Art Competition winners and the art work. Miss Clement aided us in the judging of the Literary Contest contributions. Mr. Lysecki, who was in charge of the advertising and financial interests, merits well earned praise. Mr. Stark assiat- Continued Page 4 3 BY: WAYNE RUDKO With the approach of the final days of June we suddenly realize that another whole year at school has passed seemingly unnoticed. Earl Grey School is again preparing to send out a group of young graduates to newer fields, while at the same time it is opening up new paths for those returning next fall. It is very interesting to look ahead towards a bright future; however, it is also most interest¬ ing to glance back and see ourselves and our friends in the past year’s activities. This is where our Year Book comes in. This year we, the Editorial Staff, have tried our utmost to portray the year-life story of our school in its brightest light. However, we realize that our success was possible only through the enthusiasm of our Year Book Staff, the co-operation of our students, and the advice and guidance of our teachers. It is our sincere hope that this, our 1954-1955 Year Book, including its newly adopted features, will meet with your approval. With a progressive thought in mind, we arranged for individual pictures of our Junior High classes. In addition, numerous contests were held amongst the students in order to obtain highly qualified contributions for our book. Class Reporters were chosen to represent each room and their splendid work proved a great asset. The competition which incited the most interest was our Year Book Name Contest.” In this way wewereable to procure a popular name for our Year Book — THE TRIANGLE —. We are deeply indebted to Patsy Isfeld for this appropriately chosen name. Now, let us look at the Triangle itself. Within it we see a bright sun casting its rays in all directions; the words Nova Lux” meaning New Light , and a searching eye. In life these seem¬ ingly exemplify the search for new roads to successful careers. On the outside of the sun the Triangle is inscribed with our school motto HONOUR, TRUTH and DUTY. Certainly these three words are fore¬ most in the success of our school life and our future life. As an example of the importance of these three ideals, attention might be drawn to a very recent medical achievement of our century. DR. JONAS E. SALK has recently dealt a blow to the dreaded, crippling disease of poliomyelitis. It was devotion to DUTY and undying effort to get at the TRUTH that finally, after many years, brought great HON¬ OUR to Dr. Salk for the first effective vaccine for polio. It is therefore significant that we students and graduates of Earl Grey through observance of our school motto, and through constant effort to do our best should rise to great heights in whatever goal we may choose to pursue. Still closer to our hearts at Earl Grey we honour the musical achievement of the late WILLIAM H. ANDERSON. To this most admired musician and friend we owe the composition of our school song. It is in this song that William Anderson portrays our school so realistically. It is in this song that he reminds all of us at Earl Grey that — Honour blended with the Truth In Duty’s golden rule Will keep undimmed the glory Others won for Earl Grey School. William H. Anderson Continued from Page 3 ted us considerably with his fine editing and also the judging of the Literary Competition materi¬ al. Mr. Lawson helped with untiring patience in the photography department. Our vice-principal, Mr. Storch, who has taken a keen interest in the young students since his arrival last year, and who has gained the respect of all the students, supported us extremely well with the Elementary secti¬ on. Last, but not least, we extend our thanks to our principal, Mr. Hensley, who deserves much credit for his advice in helping us over many rough spots. 4 EARL GREY STAFF Mr. R.

ANNE PARR Room 28 Grade 7 CANDY SALE On January 20, 1955, the girls in Room 22 decided to have a candy sale. Long discussions followed in which we set the date and decided who should make the candy.

On February 1, Pat Wilding, Joan Cald¬ well and Janet Rowse took the money down to C.J.O.B. for the “March of Dimes Campaign. Well done Room 22!

When all the boys and girls came there was such a big turnout that the class had to be divided. There Was a class for the gradeAVII’s and IX’s. Everybody thoroughly enjoyed themselves.

The purpose of this auction was to raise money for the March of Dimes , a well- known campaign used to help fight polio. Each pupil in our class brought a parcel gift-wrapped. 14 These parcels were auctioned off by vol¬ unteers, Margaret Meneer and Diane Friesen, with the assistance of Miss Dickson, our class teacher. Our treasurer, Irene Joba assisted by Gail Drys- dale took in the money. Elizabeth Andresen and Gail Tompkins listed the articles contained in each parcel. The parcels contained such items as books, jewelry and even a single orange. Most of my classmates were pleased with the surprise purchases, and the sum of Eighteen Dollars and Sixty Cents was realized from this auction. The money thus raised was taken to C.J. O.B. for the Match of Dimes. We made a request for the song Open up Your Heart” to be played.

The first film was called ' Junior Raindtop , showing how the accumulati¬ on of raindrops form flash-floods, which cause great damage. The second film was Our Friend the Forest”. This showed the result of cutting down trees without replacing them. The third film Forests of the Future showed the interest of a young forest conservati¬ onist, in replenishing our forests, which man carelessly cuts down or destroys by fire. LOUISE GIARDINO, IRENE JEFFEREY Room 13 Grade 9 WHITE ELEPHANT SALE On February 11 at 4 o’clock, Room 20 held its White Elephant Sale.

VICKIE LOGAN Room 22 Grade 8 24 ART FOR CHILDREN’S HOSPITAL This year a few of the girls from Room 22 got together and painted two murals for the Children’s Hospital. Miss Hodgson let the girls paint them in art period. They also did a lot of work on them after and before school hours. The murals were very Christmassy depicting the f Santa Clause work shop with the elves and a street scene of Christmas Eve. The children at the hospital enjoyed them very much. CAROL HAMMELL Room 22 Grade 8 THE SCHOOL TEA The tea was a project of the Earl Grey School and the Earl Grey Community Club. It was held on November 12th in the school library. Dain¬ ties were contributed by the children of the school and members of the Club. Girls of grade eight and nine served tea and dainties in the afternoon while the women of the Club served at night. There was a Touch’n’Take table, a handi¬ craft sale and a Home Cooking sale. Also there was a gym display held in the auditorium HELEN HOLMES and MARION YAGI ROOM 13 ROOM 24’s CAMPAIGN During October the pupils in Room 24 collected 600 pocket novels for the Deer Lodge Hospital. We wish to thank everyone who helped and also Mrs. Scott for delivering the novels to the hospital. We received a letter of thanks from the Librarian of the hospital IRENE CHABLO Secre tary INTRODUCTION TO THE LITERARY SECTION GRANT SAUNDERS Perhaps the most interesting and important division of the Year Book is the Literary Section. In it, every grade in the school should be represented. Because we have been fortunate enough to have individual pictures this year, we were forced to shorten the Literary Section. However, this caused the Year Book Staff to be less lenient than in previous years in the judging of the contributions. This may be why we were disappointed in the con¬ tributions received from the student body, for they did not meet with the high standard of Literature that the pupils of Earl Grey are capable of producing. To encourage the pupils to write and to supply ideas for them to enlarge upon, we held two Literary contests, one fot the Elementary and another for the Junior High. Each contest had two secti¬ ons, a poetry competition and a short story competition. The entries submitted were judged for legibili¬ ty of writing, clarity of detail, use of descriptive words and interest value. The J unior High English teachers and the Year Book Staff were the judges. Because there was no winner for the Elementary short story competition we selected two poetry winners. The best poem from Grades II and III was sub¬ mitted by Lorraine Holland Room 1, Grade III and for Grades IV, V and VI, Glenna Nyguvest, Room 54, Grade VI took first place. The winner of the Junior High poetry competition was Elaine Guillemin, Room 11, Grade IX and Moyra Milliken, Room 28, Grade VII captured top honours in the short story competition. Congratulations to all. We sincerely hope that the reading of these selections will prove worthwhile to you. You help¬ ed make the Year Book a success by writing them; so enjoy them. ELEMENTARY POETRY WINNER GRADES 4, 5 6 “ SPRING ” The time of year that I love best, Is beautiful, joyous spring. When flowers will grow and burst their buds. And the gay little birds will sing. The children are gaily playing Upon the grass so green. With ropes and balls and marbles, Oh, there’s so much to be seen! Winter may bring its pleasures, Summer and Autumn too But spring is the season that I like best. Don’t you think so too? GLENNA NYGUVEST ROOM 24 GRADE 6 JUNIOR HIGH POETRY WINNER “PEACEFUL SUMMER” The grass is waving to the windows From the fields so warm and green. The summer sun reflects its glory In the panes so bright and clean. The clouds are drifting in the heavens Blown by breezes fresh and fair,- And bees are humming in the clover Peaceful nature is everywhere. The flowers sway in gentle slumber A ripening berry nods its head, The rippling stream, in heat of summer Seeks the shelter of the wood. A creeping vine climbs over shutters Lacy patterns for to make, The lilac ' s dreaming in the garden. Dreaming nature does not wake. ELAINE GUILLEMIN ROOM 11 GRADE 9 ELEMENTARY POETRY WINNER GRADES 2 3 “ SPRING IS COMING” The pussy willows ate out today, I saw them growing across the way, They did not mind the cold wind blowing, They did not heed a bit of snowing, But in their coats so warm and gray, They tell us spring is on the way. LORRAINE HOLLAND ROOM 1 GRADE 3 JUNIOR HIGH SHORT STORY WINNER AN UNUSUAL ADVENTURE It was a hot, sultry day. John could not wait until his tedious chores were over. He set to work with a vigorous splurge of energy. Finally, when he had finished, he grabbed his swimming trunks and tore off for the sea. He dashed down the dusty road, now and then giving one or two yells ' of sheet joy. His slcin fairly prickled with longing. The tide had gone out when he came to the beach. It had left all sorts of queer things lying on the sand. He ran he Iter, skelter into the cool, sparkling water. Up he came spluttering and laughing. He decided to be bold and swam farther and farther from shore. John began to look for adventure on the ocean floor. He dived deeper and deeper into the inviting water. What a sight he saw! Beautiful sea plants were waving in the water. Fish, all colours of the rainbow flitted everywhere. Dainty sea flowers gracefully lined the ocean floor. John was fascinated! Suddenly, something caught his eye. A scarlet thing flashed through the green foliage. It did not look like a fish. What was it? John became so interested that he began to follow it. He carefully made his way through the water. He did not know it but the scarlet thing was gradually leading him farther and farther from shore. Quite slowly it dawned on him that something was wrong. He started to go back, but huge creatures with flaying arms stopped him. He then tried to surge ahead, but they were there too. The awful creatures were closing in on him. Closer and closer they came, their tentacles waving to. and fro, beaks snapping in delight. Before them they saw a juicy being just ready to be ' eat¬ en. Suddenly the arms were all about him, grabbing, squeezing, killing. Then everything turned black and John felt himself falling, falling into an inky world of blackness. It was a long time before he awoke. There was still a buzzing sound in his head. He was in a nice, clean bed with a hot water bottle at his feet. His mother was anxiously sitting beside him. When she asked what had happened, John replied. I can’t remember anything except that I dived into the cool water and began an unusual ad- MOYRA MIL LIKEN ROOM 28 GRADE 7 THE BUTTERFLY I wish I were a butterfly. I wish I were a butterfly. Then I would fly straight to the sky. Up, up, up, I would go. And have fun like others so. BEVERLY FINLEY ROOM 1 GRADE 3 THEY REMAIN FOREVER Two thoughtful moments pledged to the dead, Frame the white crosses with gold, Flowers and wreaths, bestow endless peace, But cannot bring them back. Grateful words, sorrowful tears, Undying love through the years, Entwine poppies about the rusted helmets, But have no power where loved ones are concerned. Like a candle, ceased burning, Its light once bold and true, Though the flame be dampened, The wick and glow remain. LESLIE FOSTER ROOM 28 GRADE 7 TELEVISION AND HOMEWORK Two things, Television and Homework, mix like sour pickles and strawberries. Almost everyone you know has television, so if you haven’t, your neighbour probably has. Practically every night something good is on, and you just can’t miss it!! Tonight you say to yourself, I’ll watch one show and then do my homework. At that same momenrsomeone yells No ! from the kitchen get your homework done. Ah, but Mom there’s a good show on, ' My Favorite Husband.’ Well , she says, that IS a good programme. I’ll do my ironing a little later. So we both sit down with a bowlful of popcorn and watch the show. After it’s over I get up to do my homework, but, WAIT! ' Our Miss Brooks’ appears. So down I sit again, thinking Oh well, it HAS something to do with school anyway! We watch a few more shows and by that time they’re signing off. Boy, y bu think to yourself how time does fly! Then mother puts off her ironing till tomorrow and I my homework. After all you can’t stay up all night doing homework when you need your rest; now can you? AUDREY SAUNDERS ROOM 13 GRADE 9 THE BECKONING HAND From a cloud-blown sky to the road below, The white moon cast her eerie glow, The arms of the trees swung to and fro, As the hour of twelve drew near. With quickening steps upon blackened sod, A stealthy stranger carefully tod, For something in this place was odd, And he was filled with fear. The toll of a bell broke the silence of night, And before him rose an awesome sight, A gravestone shonewith a wierd green light, Asa wrinkled hand appeared. He walked as if in a ghostly trance, With nary a shiver and nary a glance, Slow and sure was his advance, His feet he could not steer. The beckoning hand had called him there, Then only a gap remained to stare, In that gloomy silence where Now everything was clear. PAT THORVALDSON AUDREY SAUNDERS ROOM 13 GRADE 9 27 LOCKED OUT John ran blindly down the dimly lit street.He knew itwas past 11 o ' clock. If only he could make it in time. Finally he reached the large, old house which was his home. He ran up the walk, up the creaking stairs and onto the porch. He stopped a moment to catch his breath and then he tried the front door. He turned the knob but the door wouldn ' t open. It was locked! He knew it was no use trying the windows because his Mother always locked them immediately after supper. John breathed an uneasy sigh as he realized he was locked out. Then John remembered all too well what his father told him as he was leaving for his friend Peter ' s house. John ' , he had said, if you aren ' t home before dark tonight you will be locked out for the night. This nonsense of coming home so late has got to stop. John had promised to be home early, but as usual, he and Peter had become so absorbed in an exciting T.V. program that they had forgotten all about the time. John sat down on the porch swing to decide what he would do. He couldn ' t let his Mother and Father know he was afraid. So he decided to sleep on the swing. He curled up on his sway¬ ing bed and tried to sleep.lt was so dark and still that he began to imagine things. The darkness seem¬ ed like a heavy weight pressing down on him. Suddenly the stillness was pierced with a shrill call. John jumped up, his heart pounding. He peeked out the porch window, and sighed with relief as he saw it was only the pet hawk belonging to the man next door. The hawk was perched in his cage as usual, and calling to some unknown thing in the darkness. His calling had never frightened John before as much as it did now. John got back on the swing, still shaking, and tried once more to sleep. The creek- ing of the swing hinges didn ' t make it any easier. The sounds of the night hovered around him. He wished he had obeyed his father and had come home before dark. He finally fell into an uneasy slumber. When he awakened he saw the sun slowly rising. He painfully got up and shook himself because he was very stiff from sleeping on that hard swing. From the peace of the morning light and the cheerful ness of the birds chirping he began to feel ashamed that he had been so frightened during the night. Then John heard someone open the front door. It was his Dad. John rushed up to him and apologised for disobeying him and said that he would always be home on time from now on. His father smiled knowingly. He knew what kind of a night John had spent because the same thing had happened to him when he was about John ' s age. Come on in for breakfast, son. And with that John and his father walked into the house. They both felt that that would be the last time John would be locked out for coming home late. LOTTIE SCHUBERT ROOM 13 THE LEPRECHAUN A leprechaun without a boot, Once sat upon a twisted root. His face was wrinkled as the bark His eyes shone yellow in the dark. Oh, leprechaun, what do you do? I ' m cobbling a fairy ' s shoe. He worked away with awl and hammer, His golden hobnails made a glow. The boots were soft, green as leaves, pointed at the toe. Oh, leprechaun, what tiny shoes! I make the kind that fairies use.

DIANE LOBODA ROOM 1 GRADE 3 There once was a little fairy. She had al¬ most all the things she wanted, but she didn’t have a wand. She wanted one so much she was willing to give all she had. One day as she was walking through the woods, she met an older fairy. The fairy asked her why she was sad. She said, 1 haven’t a wand, and I want one so much. The old fairy said, Go home and you shall have one waiting for you in your dining room. So the little fairy started for home. She sang as she went along the path in the woods. She met an owl. He said, Why are you. so happy, now? The little fairy replied, When I get home I will have a beautiful wand. As she came nearer the house she began to run. She ran into the house and into the dining room. And there right before her eyes was the wand. She went up to it and took it in her hands. And from that day on the little fairy lived in happiness with her beautiful wand. VIRGINIA PHILIPS LYNDA McQUESTEN GRADE 5 ROOM 14 AGE 10 MY DOG I have a little dog, His coat is brownish-red, He has my doll’s blanket, And a shoebox for a bed. We voted for his name And chose to name him Tricks. We took him to the farm, And there he chased the chicks. JUDITH OLINKIN ROOM 14 GRADE 5 GYPSY GIRL The silvery moonlight shone on the snow, The lonely gypsy sang a song sweet and low Fire-light danced in het sad brown eyes, Away in the distance a lone wolf cries. As the music grew wilder she started to dance, In the dim light she seemed in a trance, And into the blazing fire she whirled, Round about her the cold snow swirled. LINDA MULLIN SHEP, THE HIGHLAND LAD His burnished coat all dusty and drab, Was once as glossy as sheen, For he was a noble highland lad, The pride of the Scottish Queen. The hills of Scotland he used to roam, Protected by Royal decree, And strayed far from his highland home, A soul both wild and free. Now he roamed rejected and lost, Among the hills and the trees, Not protected from wind and frost. From burning sun and breeze. This lonely one who strays alone, O f er lea and rocky ground. Further further from his home, Never to be found. PAT THORVALDSON ROOM 13 GRADE 9 30 BEAUTY At the end of day when the world’s at rest, I dream of the places that I love best, Of rushing rivers, the starlit sky, The beautiful forests and mountains high These are the beauties that we all love, And whom should we thank but our Lord above? JEANETTE COONS ROOM 18 GRADE 8 BABY SITTING Talking, laughing, singing, sighing, Anything to stop their crying! Tonight I’ll get no homework done For little Indians are on the run. They ' re in the porch, they ' re in the food, And I am in a terrible mood! They scream, they shout, and then they hide At last they ' re all to bed, I sighed. AVON HOLLAND ROOM 22 GRADE 8 A FRIGHTENING MOMENT Junior Smith crept quietly down the stairs. He listened, and heard the sound of heavy breathing and knew that the family was still asleep. He groped around in the darkness. All of a sudden his shaking and trembling hand touched the doorknob. He wondered whether he should go through with it. He had to hurry. The family would be awake soon! He quickly stepped into a small room. At last he was going to begin his first shave!

MANITOBA ART EXHIBIT The Manitoba Art Exhibit, sponsored by the Manitoba Association for Art Education was held at the Winnipeg Auditorium from the 6th. to the 13th. of April this year. It was officially opened by Dean Scarfe of the University of Mani¬ toba, Easter Sunday, the 10th. of April. Earl Grey, along with a large number of Manitoba schools exhibited their Art work. 39 THE VICE-PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE Mr. R.A.STORCII r Since the beginning of September, I have had the privilege and pleasure of being a member of the staff of Earl Grey School. As I have watched you at work and at play, my own school days have often flashed back into my mind. It was so much fun going to school then, but you have shown me by actions that it ' s just as much fun now. Even the kindergarten children hate to miss a day! And that your learning covers a wider and more desirable range than just regular school subjects is very ap¬ parent too. In your rooms, in the halls, and on the grounds are evidences that most of you are not only behaving like fine young ladies and gentlemen, but are also conquering the problem of how to get a- long with others. During the school year, the combined activities of all rooms add up to quite a large total. Each class has special events, accomplishments, and the like which make interesting reading. Be¬ cause this book is a project of the whole school, it is only fitting that you are in its making by con¬ tributing to its contents. I am looking forward to reading the interesting accounts of your activities in the space allotted to each class. I know you will do a good job because your teachers help you to plan your work well. I would like to tell you about a number of other things that I have noticed that concern you all. The first of these has to do with your classroom behavior. The quiet, business-like attitudes of even the youngest of our pupils in their classrooms reminds me of an office filled with rows of desks at which sit people busily working away, each seemingly unaware of the presence of others. And even when teacher brings a portion of the class to the front of the room, the rest continue with their seat- work without hardly a stir. Well done, young people! Next I would like to say what I have noticed about your honesty and the way you answer your teachers and principals when they speak to you. Even you youngsters in kindergarten and grade one have shown me that you are following the directions of your teachers and parents about being honest and polite. And again you are to be congratulated! How nice it is to come into the school and find youngsters holding open the door and saying, Good morning, sir,” or finding others coming into the office with articles they have found. Yes, honest is still the best policy. And who does not admire a polite young girl or boy? And now, what have I noticed about your regular school work? In every room, from kinder¬ garten to grade six, I have come across some very fine work and have seen definite signs that, not only are most of you learning the subjects thoroughly but you are also learning how to think. Beautiful printing, lovely writing, fine art work, neat notebooks, worthwhile projects - all have been my plea¬ sure to see. And I must not forget your singing. It has been lovely. It’s a nice feeling to do a good job, too, isn ' t it. No message to you would be complete without mention of your efforts in activities beyond the regular school subjects called extra-curricular” activities. Your fine support of the Junior Red Cross, March of Dimes, Poppy Day, Junior Humane Society deserves special mention. And you did nobly in selling tickets and advertising the fall tea sponsored jointly by the Earl Grey Community Club and our School. Similar praise is due for your contributions to school funds by the sale of candy, popcorn, novelties, etc. And to those of you who have helped to uphold the good name of our school in inter¬ school games, music and other activities a special word of praise and thanks is due. Finally, as a closing note, I would like to address a few remarks to our graduating classes. For you young people in grade six, the end of the school year will be a memorable one because the next grade is in Junior High. Here you will begin an entirely new kind of school life, and the vast fields of learning already opened by your elementary school teachers will expand with each succeed¬ ing year to bring no end of pleasure to those of you who take advantage of an opportunity that comes only once. To all grade six pupils I want to extend my best wishes for a pleasant journey along this road of learning, and to your teachers and all other members of the elementary school staff my since rest thanks for a job well done. 40 KINDERGARTEN Mrs. J.E.FENNY ROOM 8, a.m. BACK ROW (Left to Right)—E.

MAGIC PENNY A magic penny can change to anything you want. Once upon a time there was a boy who had a p nny. He said one day to himself, I’m tired of having this penny. I’m going to spend this penny , but the boy didn’t know that the penny that he was going to spend was magic. So at last he spent it. When he got home his dad said, Where is that penny? The boy said, I spent it. His dad said, Why did you spend it? Did¬ n’t you know that penny is a magic penny? Quickly the boy went to the store to get the penny. At last the boy said to the man, Where is that penny I spent? Here it is. Thanks I will pay you back as soon as I can. At last he woke up. He said, I must have been dreaming. And that was the end of the magic penny. GARY CHAPMAN RABBIT AND CARROT The cartot grew in a field. Once a rabbit came and started to nibble on the carrot. The farmer came and chased the rabbit.

When I am sleeping she puts her cold, cold nose on mine. Snowflake creeps up on Grandma and says Meow and Grand¬ ma jumps. Sometimes she gets mad at Snowflake for scaring her.

I started reading my dog a story about witches and ghosts. After I had finished the story my little dog was shivering. Then out of the closet came a witch with a broom stick. It was only my cousin in witch ' s clothes. MARBLE DERBY A marble derby was held at Earl Grey School on Saturday, April 23. There were 28 en¬ tries, boys and girls.

THE MARCH OF THE BROWNIES As the shades of evening settled down, The Brownies romped through field and town, To pause at this, to peer at that. And now and then to stay and chat. So in a manner quite their own, They made their way through wood and stone. Nor did the march of Brownies stop, Till everyone was in the shop. When stars began to dwindle down, And morning crept into the town, And then with all the speed they knew, Off to the forest home they flew. MIKE SAMBORK REMEMBRANCE DAY On November 11th, 1954 the elementary classes met in the auditorium for a Remembrance Day service.

I was reading a book when a rope was silently fastened around me. Before I knew it I was the nasty old Indian with rubber tipped darts flying in every direction. It was time for Junior to go to bed and he kne w it. I caught a glimpse of him as he rushed by with the cookie jar under his arm. At last Junior was asleep, I thought. But in five minutes he came sliding down the bannister only to pull down the curtains, break the big win¬ dow and knock over a lamp. Junior yelled, ' Come and get me,” as he pulled out his water pistol and drenched me to the skin. I saw his rope in the corner and Igot it and after about seven tries I had him tied and gagged. About half an hour later his parents came home and paid me for a full two hours work. JIM SELKIE STRANGE FOOTPRINTS It seemed as if a giant Tramped through the snow Or maybe an elephant No one could know. Everyone guessed, Whose footprints they could be. But no one could imagine, Goloshes and me! CAROLINE PROSOLOWSKI MY DOLLY I have a little dolly, Her eyes ate bright blue, Her cheeks are so red, And her name is Sue.

THE OLD MAN OF THE SEA There was an old man of the sea, Who was as old as old could be His age no one knew, Except me and you! That age is one hundred and three, BARBARA KOSSATS PLANTS OF ROOM 24 We had a very interesting time with a plant called the Avacado. Mr. Hensley experiment¬ ed with it in his office. This is how it went. It was planted in a big pot and a stick was inserted to keep the plant upright, but the plant was grow¬ ing too long and flabby so they got a smaller pot and broke it in half. They then built the pot around the top of the plant attached to the stick and put earth in the pot. After a month or two we were wondering if the little pot had roots in it. So, to prove it Mr. Hensley did not water the big pot on the bottom. It was successful. The top of the plant above the little pot kept growing. In a few weeks Mr. Hensley is going to cut the Avacado under the small pot. PAT MUNDAY IRENE CHABLO 50 THE RED CROSS CANDY SALE RACE Room 24 decided to have a candy sale. The money was going to the Red Cross. The boy who won the Candy Sale Race would receive The Boys Own Annual Book. The race started off with Leslie Howard leading, but Gerald Pope was close behind. He had 83tf to Leslie’s $1.28. Then Nick Gyryluk made a burst of money. He was only 12tf behind. It was a close race. Leslie was still ahead by the same margin. Then Nick had another burst of speed. Nick passed by Leslie with no trouble at all, and won the race. The race had ended! Nick was first, Leslie second and Gerald third. The book went to Nick, the candy to the pupils and the money to the Red Cross. JOHN TROJACK THE SYMPHONY On Wednesday, November 3td, the Winnipeg Schools attended the symphony. The following programme was heard: The Overture to Rosamunde by Franz Schubert. The Carnival of Animals by Saint-Saens. Soloists: Lola Lane Cuddy — Bill Cuddy. Largo from Xerxes. Dance of the Comedians by Smetana. The Comedians by Kabalevsky. The pupils of this school were partic¬ ularly interested in the programme as Bill Cuddy is a former pupil of Earl Grey. The symphony was enjoyed by all PATRICIA PATS ROOM 13 GRADE 9 FRENCH CHOIR On April 13, twenty-five Grade IX girls sang a group of French folk songs for the Manitoba Teachers Convention. ' The girls sang: Gai Lon La — Gay Song Marianne — Mary Ann Ah! Si Mon Moine — Ah! My Top Vive la Canadienne -- Hurray for the Canadian. Lottie Schubert, Sera Loschiavo, Louise Giardinoand Elaine Guillemin said a few sentences in French to introduce each song. CHRISTMAS CAROLS The Hydro Electric, each year put on programmes of Christmas Carols, with various city schools. On December 13, forty pupils went to the C.K.R.C. studios and recorded six carols, which were broadcast at 5 30 P.M. the same day. Miss Gordon was the accompanist. Miss Horner helped coach the choir. The choir sang: Tis Christmas, Be Merry The Christ Child Joy to the World We Three Kings The Merry Bells are Ringing Ding Dong Merrily PATRICIA PATS ROOM 13 GRADE 9 FESTIVAL CHOIR Miss Creighton entered Grades 5 6 in the Festival. We sang Dance to Your Daddy, but to our dismay it was not a folk song. There were thirteen other choirs. They all sang Folk Songs. We got 80 and the winners got 83. We wish to thank Miss Creighton for her directing and Nancy Slokerr who accompanied the choir. IRENE CHABLO ROOM 24 GRADE 6 WILLIAM H. ANDERSON Earl Grey School wishes to express its deepest sym¬ pathy to Mrs. Anderson in the death of her beloved husband, William H. Anderson, who passed away on April 12. Mr. Anderson was always ready to help anyone seeking his advice. Only this year, despite grave illness, he wrote a letter giving advice and help to one of our classes which sang one of his many com¬ positions in the festival. Needless to say, Mr. Anderson is also the composer of our school song. Winnipeg and Earl Grey have truly lost a great musician and composer. 51 r FOLK SONG CHOIR ELEMENTARY SCHOOL CHOIR MISS E.CREIGHTON 52 THE GIRLS’SPORT COUNCIL This year in Earl Grey the Junior High girls have incorporated a new idea. This idea was one of a Girls’ Sports Council. The council consists of the President and Sports Captain (girls only) of each room in the Junior High. When the council was assembled the officers were elected. They were: President - Lottie Schubert, Vice President - Audrey Saunders and Secretary - Brenda Stevenson. The council meets on Mondays at 4:00 and discusses any problems that the girls in the school have. With Miss McVeigh’s advice they try to find a solution for each problem. The Sports Council has sponsored Posture Week and square dancing lessons for the Junior High boys and girls, this term. We have found that a Girls’ Sports Council is very successful.

You’re the intermediate type so you’re put into the intermediate relay with three other girls. Nearly every day, for three weeks before the races you stay for lunch to practise. Finally the big day arrives, you’re handed a competitor’s ticket and a school sweater, which is three sizes too large for you or it wouldn’t be a school sweater. You ' re told to be on time and to wear your rompers. You just make it! Miss Hodgson pins number 73 on you and tells you that you’re skating in the 14th event. While you’re standing there with your mouth hanging open someone yells, Hey, you, get your skates on.” Well, you close your mouth and start slipping you skates on. Your buddy hands you some gum and you sit there chewing nervously. You scream and yell yourself hoarse. Finally it ' s your turn. A man on the rink yells 73 . You hurry out! There are two girls ahead of you as you’re skating third. The gun booms! Off go the first girls. You stand there shaking like a leaf. After the first lap the second girl goes onto the ice to wait for the tag, and then she skates off. As she goes by someone pushes you onto the ice. You stand there all tensed up. Here she comes! She almost tags you but she falls. She ' s up again. Everybody is ahead of you when you get touched off. Then you shoot past one girl. You’re going around a corner when you catch your skate in a rut. Up you go into the air in a split fotmation. Bang, down you go but you get up again. You almost tag the next girl but you fall again. Finally you tag her. You sit at the side of the rink, your head spinning. Someone helps you off the rink. You stand at the boards and find out your team came in third. Well, next year you’ll come in first. Then when the races are over you trot off home, kind of glad that its over but a little sad that you didn’t come in first. Heather Sorensen Room 22 Grade 8 55 SCHOOL VOLLEYBALL CHAMPIONS This year Room 22 has made a very good showing in sports. We played Rooms 18, 20, 21 and 25 suc¬ cessfully and won the Grade 8 champ¬ ionship. About a week later we played against the Grade 7 champions and won again! This gave us the champion¬ ship of Grade 7 as well as Grade 8. On the following Friday we played Grade 9, Room 13, for the School Championship. Very much to everyone’s surprise, we came out on top.

They chose as a motto “Be Posturized.” Pamphlets were distributed, and a movie on posture was shown to the girls. After the movie, Miss Hodgson gave an amusing display of poor posture. During our P.T. periods Miss McVeigh gave us posture exercises and showed us the proper way of sitting, walking and standing. Everyone checked everyone else on their posture in the hallways. “Posture Week was a big success and there was a definite improvement in everyone’s posture. SPEEDSKATING (JUNIOR HIGH) This year three teams entered in the speed-skating races from Earl Grey School. They were the Primary, the Junior, and the Intermediate teams. In the first race both the Pri¬ mary and the Junior teams placed first and the Intermediates placed third. In the second race the Primary team came second and the Junior team came third. A fine effort and good sports¬ manship was shown on the part of each team. Congratulations girls! Good luck for a winning team next year. BACK ROW (Left to Right)—Heather Sorenson. Pearl Alexander.

THE PRICE OF SUCCESS To use all your courage to force yourself to concentrate on the pro¬ blem in hand; to think of it deeply and constantly; to study it from all angles, and to plan ahead. To have a high and sustained determination to achieve what you plan to accomplish not only when conditions are favourable to its accomplishments, but in spite of all adverse circumstances that may arise. It is not easy to be truly successful, but it is worth the effort. ERRATA We regret very much having mis¬ spelled the following names: Room 18 Victoria McCallum, Judy Lefevre, Judy Naime, Elsie Stefanyshyn, Betty Halldorson and Shirley Forsberg.
