Lola Solmundson and Mary Lou Eden Room 15 MODEL RAILROAD CLUB The Model Railroad Club orga nized in 1956-1957 has nearly completed its first full year in existence. The club supervised by Mr. Love is slowly rising in popularity with many school students. When the club was formed, the membership fee was one H.O. scale (3.5 m.m.) freight car. This year’s work was mainly on wiring and the addition of special track work. The club meets on Tuesdays, 12:00 to 1:15 p.m. and is open to anyone in Grades 7, 8 and 9. Nick Gyryluk — Room 13 ELEMENTARY SCHOOL CHRISTMAS CONCERT On the afternoon of December 20th, 1957 the teachers and children of the elementary school presented a variety concert in the school auditorium. Mr. Storch was chairman and Mr. Cross spoke a few words of welcome to the parents. The program consisted of rythm work, drills, dances, choirs and tumbling. Mr. Hadfield accompanied the musical items. It was felt that the program was well worth while, and was a valuable contribution to school life. March 13, 1958 was a great day for all scientifically minded students at Earl Grey. The Science Club was bom! Since then every Thurs¬ day from 11-30 a.m. to 1:15 p.m. in Room 10, nineteen scientists have gathered to discuss the world of science. The elected officers are: President.Ed Wanless, Room 13 Secretary-Treasurer.Jim Stebbing, Room 13 Recording Secretaries....Gillian Kroeze.Room 13 Carolyn Coish, Room 13 Our sponsor, of course, is Mr. Smith. The Club’s official name is “La Societe des Alchemists”. Its members are referred to as “The Beaker Breakers . Each week, a trio of scientists presents two or three, both educational and interesting experiments on electricity and chemistry. A- mong the many fascinating projects the club has been working on are the setting up of rectifiers, generators, and a cloud chamber. Many thanks to Mr. Smith for his under¬ standing and amazing patience with us. Gillian Kroeze -- Room 13 Carolyn Coish -- Room 13 41

ROOM 22 TEA MUSIC Room 22, under the direction of Miss Crookshanks, held their tea October 11, 1957 from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. The room was decorated with bright autumn leaves. The tea was well attended and many of the guests took this opport¬ unity to meet the teachers. The girls prepared sandwiches and dainties. We wish to thank everyone who helped to make our tea a success. Donna Scott - Room 22 ELEMENTARY REMEMBRANCE DAY On November 11th, 1957, the elementary classes met in the auditorium for a Remembrance Day service. Mrs. Sharpe was chairman. The ser¬ vice was opened with ' O Canada’ and ‘The Lord’s Prayer’. Maureen Mika recited ‘The Lord is My Shepherd’ and Donald Watson read ‘In Flanders Fields’. Mr. Love spoke to the child¬ ren on the meaning of Remembrance Day. All the children joined in the singing of ‘O God Our Help In Ages Past’ and ‘O Valiant Hearts’. The service was closed with ‘God Save the Queen’. ROOM 24’S RED CROSS PROJECT The boys and girls of Room 24 decided to do something to raise money for the Junior Red Cross. They thought and thought and then de¬ cided to make Hallowe’en pumpkin puppets to sell to all the children in the elementary grades. Finally all the puppets were made and dancing from their strings. We were ready to sell them. The money came pouring in and at last when we had sold them all we found we had $15.00. Our teacher. Miss Wasserman, took the money to the Red Cross Building. They sent us a receipt and thanked us for the money which went towards the Crippled Childrens’ Fund . Maureen Mika — Room 24 -- Grade 6 On December 5th, 1957, a group of Grade 9 girls went to sing Christmas Carols for the University Women’s Club on Westgate. Gail Gerelus accompanied us on her violin. The girls who sang were: Charlene Craig, Suellen Glenat, Karen Blevins, Myrna Macready and Janie Smith of Room 10. The school was most generous in pro¬ viding us with transportation and Miss Crook- shanks helped us before we went. After the carols had been sung, the girls were taken to a small room and given cokes and cookies. The girls were dressed in colourful min¬ strel costumes with bright scarves around their heads. On behalf of the girls, I would like to thank the University Women’s Club and Miss Crookshanks. Suellen Glenat -- Room 10 SANDY LAND’S FOREST RESERVE On October 15, the pupils of Rooms 10, 11, 13 and 17 went on an excursion to the Sandy Lands Forest Reserve. In the morning they met at the school and boarded a chartered bus. An hour and a half later they arrived at the Forest Nursery. Under the supervision of Mr. Smith and Mr. Hensley, they were shown a- round the nursery and saw the young seedlings, machines which treated the acorns and the plant¬ ing machines. Seedlings were given to the pupils to plant. Mr. Hensley took pictures of the group and they boarded the bus and were taken to a spot where they ate lunch. Afterwards the students were issued shovels, holes were dug and each planted three seedlings. The group returned to the bus, ar¬ riving back in the city at 3:30. We sincerely thank Mr. Smith and Mr. Hensley for making possible our very enjoyable trip to Sandy Lands. Ronald Herd -- Room 10 40
