EARL GREY SCHOOL TEA In the fall of last year, Earl Grey held a tea and sale of home-cooking. The Home Economics class sold some of their own baking and the children brought in good¬ ies such as candy, pastries, pies, etc., from home. The Grade IX girls served tea to the parents in the school library. The money which the tea realized was spent on sports equipment and other school projects. On behalf of the Year Book Staff I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Room Reporters for their effort in making our Year Book a success. The Room Reporters are: Fred Cham¬ bers, Room 30, Grade 7; Keith Garbutt, Room 16, Grade 8; Alma Turner, Room 28, Grade 7; Charlene Araen, Room 15, Grade 7; Rose¬ marie Rolley, Room 19, Grade 7;Lorna Wells, Room 10, Grade 8; Ralph Kaptian, Room 12, Grade 8; Penny Wood, Room 20, Grade 8; Dave Farrel, Room 22, Grade 8; Maureen Sloker, Room 18, Grade 7; Jenny Mack, Room 21, Grade 8; Heather Torch, Room 11, Grade 9; Ray Little, Room 17, Grade 9; Marge Steertz.Room 27, Grade 9; Gail Tompkins, Room 13, Grade 9- Before United Nations Day in Oct¬ ober, Room 30 became interested in UNICEF and the Shell-Out Drive which was being made in many parts of Canada. We decided to enter this project. We sold 65 boxes of UNICEF cards; the profit from which would be over $55.00. We made Shell-Out boxes and sent them to the rooms of the Junior High and received about $13.00. On Hallowe’en nearly everyone in the class took a collection box out into the neighborhood and brought in nearly $40. Five volunteer canvassers from other Grade VI1 classes brought in nearly $6.00. In all our Shell-Out receipts were $68.18. The money received by UNICEF from our efforts would be enough to do all these things: Provide 1500 children with a daily glass of milk for a week; treat 75 children for trachoma; treat 120 children for yaws; give 2000 children anti-tuberculosis vaccine; treat over 20 cases of leprosy; protect a village of 300 against malaria for a year. We feel proud that our contribution gave Earl Grey a share in the $42,000.00 col¬ lected by the children of Canada in this Shell-Out Drive. Donna Creedon — Room 13. Jim Thorkelsonl-- Room 30.

DANCING CLASS In preparation for the Graduation Party, Miss T. Hodgson and Miss C. Dunn¬ ing, with the help of the Grade IX girls, attempted to teach the Grade IX boys to jive. Their efforts were most successful and we wish to thank Miss Hodgson and Miss Dunning for their patience. We also express our gratitude to the girls, many of whom still have rather sore feet. THE JUNIOR RED CROSS During the year donations of art, made by the students of Earl Grey Junior High School to Room 27, have been given to the Junior Red Cross. At Christmas, at Easter and on Valentine’s Day we collected tray favours, stuffed toys, place cards, etc., that the Red Cross was very pleased to re¬ ceive. Samples of this art were on display at the Royal Alexandra Hotel, during the Teachers’ Convention at Easter. On behalf of Room 27 I would like to thank the students of Earl Grey School for their support. Mary Lythgoe — Room 27. EARL GREY CONCERT On March 28th and 29th, Earl Grey School held a concert in the auditorium which was considered most successful. First on the program were Mr. Lab- ovitch Grade 7 and 8 boys who gave an excellent display of tumbling and calis¬ thenic s. A group of Grade 7 and 8 girls, un¬ der the supervision of Miss C. Dunning pre¬ sented tumbling, featuring pyramid building. Folk dancing by Grade 7 and 8 girls was much enjoyed. The ' hit’ of the first part of the show was Med o-ball work by Grade 9 girls. In exact time appropriate music, what looked like miniature basketballs were passed from one hand to the other in perfect rhythm. The main attraction was the operetta H.M.S. Pinafore” written by the two famous composers of the late nineteenth century, Gilbert and Sullivan. The cast for the operet¬ ta was divided into three groups, A,B, and Cj two of these groups performing at one time. There were four performances; A and C per¬ forming on Wednesday morning for the ele¬ mentary grades. B and C on Wednesday after¬ noon for the Junior High grades, A and B on Thursday night and B and C on Friday night, for the benefit of the public. May the cast take this opportunity to thank Miss Crookshanks for her help and con¬ tinued inspiration; Mr. Guy as well as Miss Hodgson, who was in charge of sets and makeup. 22
