GRADE XA - BOYS Olafur Bjornson - The guy with the grin. Ollie is one of XA’s most likeable characters. This 6 f ?’’ blond Swede is a good sport and an equally good student. Ollie loves hockey, soccer, baseball and rugby. Ollie is an ardent Jive Hive man and has been nicknamed Honest Ollie there. In XA he is known as the Silent Sleep Walker. Finances the dive Hive with hard earned money from Gurvey ' s. Ultimate fate - drug wholesaler. Don Cook - Don is a quiet studious kid who always gets his work done.uh.. . .well. ... nearly always’ This blond brush-cut boy is always neat and well groomed. Don has friends all over E.K. and kibitzes with them all. He enjoys all sports, but claims hockey is his best. His ambition is to be a hockey player and judging from his present standard he will probably make it. He has a pleasant personality and is wonderful in a crowd.. Success is written all over him (notice the lipstick on his shirt collars). Derek Evans - A tall slim genius with brown eyes and dark hair. Joe has a scholarly air about him (some¬ times attributed to his specs). However, we cannot lay the blame completely on his glasses, for although he won ' t always admit it, Joe is one of the outstanding students in Grade X. Not all his time is taken up in scholarly pastimes however, as he plays a terrific game of soccer in the defensive slot. Also it is rum¬ oured, he skis extensively, and owns and manages an up and coming railroad line (model). He speaks several languages fluently, among them pig-latin. Although as yet undecided as to his future, Derek’s inclinations seems to be towards one of the Sciences. Fred Halls - Our blond sports captain who is at present engaged in growing out a brush-cut. He is the strong silent type who guietly comes up with astounding marks especially in English. Sneak tells us that Rzonca’s pool table is crooked, how else could Jake beat him? Ken Hilton - Tell me Why lad of XA, our self recog¬ nized genius. As well as being our Glee Club represen¬ tative, he curls and works on the Year Book. Somehow (don’t ask me howl) he manages to get good marks. This 5’8 curly haired kid is often seen with.arguing about anything that presents itself. Favorite expression during such arguments: I’ve never kicked a woman, but....

Frances Ison - The-■■ ..short, bright-eyed Secretary of E. K.C. Fran, alias Mike” alias ”Kauf (?) is XA’s No.l songstress and has a lead in The Windmill’s of Holland”. Kauf’s main ambition is to one day he a Maths Professor. Future Possibility:- Learning Proposition I. Her roman¬ tic interests tend to stray down the hall a wee bit to Room 306. Ambition No.II is to play a straight ten ends of curling without falling over more than two rocks. Favorite Pastime: - Playing the piano. Favoritie records Snuggle Bug and Body and Soul . Favorite expression Hdi,Babel Gail Auld - XA’s tall, blue, blue-eyed redhead. An enthusiastic vacationer of Ocean Falls who just loves the tug Gloria . Gail is the expert geographer of XA and can usually be seen with Nicks, Louie, Mike and Killer. Her activities include singing in a chorus (Operetta) skating, running her launches, curling and working at Gurvey’s on Sundays. For some strange, dis¬ torted reason, Flash hopes to get some metal works done in the C.N„R. shops. Her ambition is to get to one of the Year Book meetings and to return to Ocean Falls as a nurse. Carol Gibson - Has bright blue eyes and light brown hair, Her pleasant manners are quite debonnaire, If there’s fun to be had Carol’s there, Her collection of letters is quite extraordinaire, Better poems to her beauty have been sung, Skating her achievements like a ladder rung by rung, To say that she is popular underestimates her in t he le a st, And in school for getting good marks she has never ceased. In the crystal ball (the future) we see an office door, On opening it we see a monkey sitting on the floor And peering from above, we see a familiar face, Our Carol I a psychiatrist’. Well she’s not commonplace. Marlene Tinling - Petite Marlene, who has brown hair and blue eyes, is lively and enjoys playing volley ball’, and likes ??? skating. Our mezzo-soprano is both a lead and an understudy in the Operetta.

Carol Tinling - Is bright and vivacious with a spark for origi nalit y. She loves travelling and has proved it by some wonderful experiences which she has mentioned in school. Carol sings a lead role in the Operetta and her poise and neatness will certainly benefit her in her future career as a model. Her hobbies at present, include playing the piano and sewing. Whatever Carol undertakes we know she will have success in it. Good Luck, Carol,

Eddy Krahn - He is 5 ' 10” all solid bone and musole. He is XA’s actor and Romeo. He is shy and quiet till you get to know him but then.He’s absolutely hand¬ some in that beautiful well groomed brush-cut of his. He just drools over girls in the hallway (elsewhere too) and he has his eyes on a cute little damsel in XIC. Don’t ever mention parties to this boy or he’ll be there before anyone else. Ambition - pilot. Favorite pastime¬ shaving and Y iggling his ears in French periods. Jack Lange - Practical joker extraordinaire, popular opinion is that he was born with a loaded cigar in his mouth, and swallowed it, or should have. After examin¬ ing his texts, it has been concluded that he is Zee Artist of XA. Careful research has brought to light no trace of ambition, but we are still looking. Hobbies are cartooning and bouncing the opposition on their heads in football. Goes under several aliases among them Jacques L’angele, Ivan Langovitch , and Juan Losangeles . This mysterious man of parts as well as being an athlete is tres bon in most all subjects. Of late this character has spent most of his time telling teachers how to run their operettas. Claims he’ll Jive if its ' the last thing he ever does; and it might be, too e This blond wavy haired slap-happy sport can, and will, make friends with anyone, malo or female, who comes within shouting range of his desk. Jerry Lash - Typical XA lad. Good la tin student and a star import on XA’s mighty soccer team. He has black wavy hair and brown eyes which can play more tricks than a lop-sided cue-ball. He is a favorite with the women. Jerry is our social representative and his main occupat¬ ion is week-end parties. His marks are fairly good and he looks successful. His burning desire is to become an engineer but will undoubtedly end up running a shady pool ball. Terry Mitchell - Itch is our blond Latin Genius. Likes hockey but hasn’t talked Connie Smythe into sign¬ ing him on yet. In spite of the fact that he kibitzes with chemistry at home, his house still remains intact on its foundation. His ambition is to eventually wheedle that sundae from Insk”. With the experience he acquired in The Grand Cham’s Diamond he ' ll probably end up as a Defective (Detective? ' ??) Tomorrow ' s headlines: Inspector Mitchell winds up case of the fixed high-school bonspiel. If you try to show off your knowledge to this Irish brainstorm prepare yourself for the following, Amasne linguam latinam . Parlez-vous francais? or more often Shaddup, or Begorra I’ll wring your scrawny nek!
