thusiastic about our various sports-although we've won no honours, but received loads of fun and lots of punishment. tBoth the boys and girls.: WE NEVER SAY DIE! We'll show our worth in the coming volleyball gamesf If We shine in our debates-and do we ever get laughslff tYou never saw such a class for argttingl. We have detentions galore-all because of our noisy chatter, gossiping, and giggling-fof which each teacher is complaining. One of our many highlights is that of the SILVER CL'I ', that is proudly displayed in our room. The girls of SCM beat the stenc- graphy classes in a typing contest-although we have half their periods in typing. Not so bad for a noisy class. Being editor of the gossip, I think a little of same is not out of place, so here goes: Is Deannie really interested in ALL 3 A? -SYLVIA SEGAL HIGHLIGHTS OF 3Sl Girls' Sports The Feminine section of 351 have not won any laurels in the realm of sport so far. hav- ing played through the volleyball series with- out capturing the championship, but we won't let the basketball crest slip through our fingers so easily. Boys' Sports The Boys were more fortunate in their Soccer games than the girls in their Volley- ball. They reached the finals and were de- feated by 4G after playing overtime, with a score of 2 to 1. Sofia! Events These have been many and all have been a decided success, We have had four parties. three at the home of Rose Over, and the other was a surprise t?J party on Eleanor Fleming. Even if everyone that was invited did not turn up, those who did enjoyed them- selves to their hearts' content. The 1956-37 class of SSI will long be re- membered in the annals of the Eastern High School of Commerce as a class that were al- ways ready for a good time, ucarlv always had their work done and who were good sports all the way through the game. I don't think that any more need be said. -RUTH KRAISMAN. FLASHES FROM 3S2 As you probably know, 352 is supposed to be THE third form, talthough we hear con- Ninety-six trary remarks. which we are beginning to be- lieve ourselvesl. We had a very good volley-ball team this year. under the capable supervision of Anne Matheson. We did. in fact. reach the semi- finals before we were defeated. Our basketball team is doing well too, for, so far, we have won all our games except one. which we tied. Our basketball captain is Betty Meikle. As to our aquatic results, four of our mem- bers are studying life-saving. and are trying to win their Bronze Medal. We also have within our four walls, the Tennis School Champs.. Margaret Wice and Bella Marnock. At Commencement, they re- ceived cups for this achievement. So, with these tit-bits of news ringing in your ears, we. the girls of 3SZ, sign off for another year. sjessna MCALISTER. 383 FORM NEWS Oullahan. Donaldson, Clayton.

FROM THE 4S2'S-102 Did you know there was such a form as 4S2? Most of the people around this school don't seem to be aware of this fact. As one of the girls was complaining. we're just neglected, pitifully neglected. They even for- get to send any heat up to our room. and then wonder why half the class, well. perhaps not quite half, but a good many of them are away from school with colds. I think the trouble is we're absolutely lost. invisible. un- der the huge pile of Commerce 8: Transporta- tion notes, bookkeeping sets, perfect copies. and endless other tasks the teachers seem to delight to throw on us. It really is a shame. and we feel we can't hold up much longer. so. if you see a class with wrinkled. furrowed brows, losing the rosy blush of youth, thats 4S2! We're not exceptionally bright. but as good as most of the other forms. I think one teacher expressed the opinion of all our teach- ers in saying. Youre a very likeable class, and lim very keen on you. We may not have many honour students tleave off the ni and you will be nearer the truthl but are we downhearted? After all. we did win the volleyball championship, and our pros- pects in basketball look very cheerful to us. so theres still some joy in life. Speaking of brightness, the girls certainly showed the boys up on the November re- ports, so the boys all obtained positions be- fore the Mid-year examinations, However, just as soon as the results were out, two of them came strolling in, and the other two will soon probably make their appearance. Well, we've filled up all the space we're allowed. so cheeriof -AIAUREEN Loaman NEWS OF 4GM As far as 4-G are concerned we have had a very successful t???l year. Several of our members-Marg. Fitt, Margaret Scott. Ruth Garlin, Roy Cotton. Mel. Norton, Don Potter, Bill Flynn, and Lorne Charleton, are on the Echo Staff, and Frank Woodrow is Treas- urer for the Students' Council. For some reason or other, we have the reputation of never letting Miss Atkin down. There is always someone who can kindle the spark of knowledge. Miss Barrans is very disappointed in our EASTERN ECHO typing. but well do or die. Before we make the grade. we shall probably die. We had all come to the conclusion that the depression was over. A few weeks ago Marg, Scott treated herself to a new refill, but by the time she had settled her debts there were about four sheets left. Now we are back in the same old rut-refusing to lend any more paper. We will soon be able to say that we are graduates of the Eastern High School of Com- merce. We have had an enjoyable four years' stay here, but are looking forward to the time when we are to have our place in the busi- ness world. We thank all the teachers who have so patiently laboured to teach us the rudiments of business. and may we ever be a credit to them. When we look back may we never regret that we chose Eastern Commerce as the starting place of our business career. sELs1E ANDERSON. RE-ECHOES FROM 3A Three A is heartbroken, and the examina- tion results are not the cause. To be very frank. we are ashamed. Our Mr. W'm. Parr has failed to knit his usual number of squares for the Girls' Club and when we asked the reason he replied. because I don't know how. Pal. ln school sports, SA has been rather dull, in fact I might even say out. All the boys were enthusiastic over our rugby prospects but the schedule disappeared like powder on a girls nose. In football we were deeply hu- miliated at being eliminated by ZD, but were consoled when three overtime periods were necessary for 4G to defeat 2D. Our last hope for school supremacy is baseball and it is in this sport we believe we shall excel be- cause we have a couple of Hubbells, and Gehrigs in the class. Three A is extremely proud of its Public Speaking Club and Class Paper, both of which are under the direction of Mr. Car- son. The Speaking Club is presided over b B. Rhodes and the Paper is edited by Telfer. Both proved themselves worthy of the class's confidence in them. -ROBERT G.
