GRADE XIB - BOYS John Fats Campbell - John is 5’ 11 of solid ’’muscle ? ' He has brown hair and blue eyes. He is the originator of the famous drape shape block in a fedora. John is a true friend and full of fun. He loves school work, especially French which he does so welllI He is one of the long hair boys, he thinks it keeps him warm (besides it costs 75 for a haircut). He is XIB’s representative in the Glee Club and was always getting in Miss Thompson’s way during Operetta practices. John’s hobbies are hanging around Matts and listening tip juke boxes. His future is washing floors in Matts with Alex McKenzie. Bob Faircloth - Rove the tall dark sniling fellow who. stands 5’ 11 . He arrived in E.K. from Fort William at the head of the lakes and according to him it is the only city on the continent. (He hasn’t been in this city long enough). He is liked by everyone including the teachers. Bob plays on the school basket¬ ball team and is quite the star. He also plays soccer. His ambition is to become a millionaire and president of Standard Oil Company. Walter Ace Melnyk - Our popular president of E.K.C. Ace is the boy with the terrific personality and a great sense of humor. He can be found almost anytime at the curling rink chewing the fat with the boys or else he is out somewhere playing his accor- dian. When it ccmes to school activities you will find Ace at most of them such as basketball, soccer, volley¬ ball and debating. This year he had a lead in our school debate. Last year Wally had success in public speaking and did very well in the High School Bonspiel. Hobbies: Winky ing across the aisle Ambition: to become a lawyer and stay a bachelor Probable destiny: making nips in Salisbury House. Mel Finlayson - Finn is the lover boy of XIB. His hanging face can be seen creeping into the room at 9 o’clock some mornings, that is when he has the energy to get out of bed. This lad is built on a large scale and is quite the boy. He was master of ceremonies at the first school dance but he went to sleep towards the end so we let him sleep the whole night at the next dance. Mel’s biggest activity was playing the part of Bob Yankee in the operetta under the dir¬ ection of Miss Thompson. He has also given up girls (for awhile). Oh Yes, he thinks he can curl but still thinks he is playing soccer and kicks the odd rock down the ice. Finn’s ambition is to become President of Imperial Oil with his sidekick Jim Forsyth.

Jim Forsyth - This handsome fellow is about 5’ 11” has brown hair and eyes with 170 lbs of solid muscle? Jim has an outstanding personality with Mr. Wiley, for you see Jim has a certain sickness known as the 9 o’clock fever. This boy is a bom organizer and rules the social committee with a firm hand, but we must admit against our will he’s doing a good job. Jim plays guard on the collegiate basketball team, (get this girls) you had better go down to the next game (because) Forsyth will probably still be kicking around) and see this bulking 170 lb wonder. He tries to tell the boys that he has a voice (hal Ha) just because he played a lead part of Franz, the handsome Dutch playboy. Jim’s am¬ bition is to work at Imperial Oil but Jim is going to be different, instead of starting at the bottom and working up, he is going to start at the top and work down (Ask Miss Taylor, his French teacher). He plans to become co-owner of the place with his side-kick Finn”. Barrie Kirkhope - Goose” as he is sometimes called by most of the boys is a big red headed seven footer. He is active in sports such as curling, soccer and hockey. One of his biggest thrills is getting behind the wheel of his dad’s car and roaring down the highway hitting anything that gets in his way, Barrie loves taking long enjoyable trips and many of them are to the office for hitch-hiking to and from school. Goose can be found home every night of the week (except Friday listening to ’’Sherlock Holmes” or ’’Inspector Harstone of The Death Squad”. Barry Martin - This 5’ 11” tall dark and handsome Casanova of XIB is another one of the boys in grey and maroon. Barry’s main interests are hockey, curling and spending the week convincing his Dad that he needs the car for that special occasion? He is also an ardent player on S.K.C’s soccer team. What is Barry’s favorite pastime? Well.... that leads us across the hall to 302 where we find a small dark lass. This may help us explain the fact that even though Barry does live on Leighton he is usually found ”Glo”ing up and ' down Helmsdale. Barry is one of Miss Taylor’s favorite French students, and his most common answer is ”Je-ne said pas.” His favorite question ’’What assignment,” Barry’s ambition is to finish Grade XI and raise enough money to buy a new car but....if we look into the future....we can see Barry teaching French in good ol’ E.K.C.
