iEaatumnii OkizrttP Vol. 10 GRADUATION EDITION No. 4 EASTWOOD HIGH SCHOOL EDMONTON, ALBERTA ? E. H. S. GRAD GAZETTE From the Principal s Office How quickly the year has slipped by! It seems but a few days since we penned a message to the 1941 graduating class. And now it is the 1942 class. With you, the staff sends their good-will and good wishes. You are going out into a world that is in the process of being remade through the fires and sorrows of a world war, now approaching a total war. You will be required to think through and help others to face the problems involved in war and reconstruction. You must seek to preserve those many ideals and modes of behaviour you cherish. To our ex-students now in the service we can only say how proud we are of you. Many of you left good positions and com¬ fortable living to serve your country and your flag. To you go our warmest wishes and to the families of those boys who will not return, our deepest sympathy. This tight to preserve our empire is going to require the fullest effort of every man, and every woman. You, I know, will do your part, in one way or another, to finally bring about a world in which we can live again in decency, security and freedom. MR. J. A. YOUNIE Acting Principal J. A. YOUNIE. ‘T-ihis fjrad Gazette of 1941-42 is respectfully dedicated to QLL those Eastwood Students who have volunteered their talents to the services of their country, on the sea, on the land, and in the air. More particularly is it de¬ dicated to those who have already given their lives in an effort to make more secure the things we cherish. We mourn their loss and pray their sacrifice may not be in vain. 4 E. H. S.

President’s Message I wish to thank Class of ’42 for the distinction you have confer¬ red upon me by making me your honorary president. It has given me great satisfaction to have been associated with you for the past few years, and I congratulate you at your graduation. Much of the factual knowledge that you have acquired here— surds, Newton’s laws, and Latin verbs—may soon be forgotten; but it is hoped that you will continue to develop this habit of think¬ ing in which you were trained here, viz., that all questions are to be judged on their merits only. You will have many decisions to make in your lives, especially in the post-war world, but the course that you pursue should not be based on prejudice or on the faults which you see, but upon the merits which you find in it. More¬ over, such merits must be sought, for as a rule weakness is much more apparent than strength. This is my message to you; and in conclusion on behalf of the staff of this school I wish you for the future all the happiness and success that you deserve. MICHAEL B. B. CROCKFORD.

THE GRAD EXECUTIVE — Continued from Page 9 The Photograph Committee consisted of Don Fallis, Lome Dyer, Betty Welsh and Lucy Palmer. Although final plans have not been arranged to date, it has been de¬ cided that the Grad Dance this year will be held in our own gym on May 22nd. By cutting down expenses in this manner, we hope to make enough profit to contribute some of the proceeds to a war fund. Although we are not having the customary banquet, a program will be provided and one of the best orchestras in the city will supply the music. Patrons and patronesses will include Mr. and Mrs. J. Younie, Mr. and Mrs. Crockford, and Miss Harris. This winds up the year’s activities for the 1942 Grads. Here’s wish¬ ing them the best of luck and success in their “Apres Lycee” years. EXCHANGE Many really different ideas have been found in the various papers we have received lately. To give you an idea of the style of these, there is the Fluke Bugle, a paper published by the Lowell on April Fools’ Day filled with a mixed-up page of make-up, screwy stories, continued mur¬ ders, etc. Also there is a note in the Westglen Parade on “How a Grade XII Student Does His Homework”—the guy that has the nerve to say he does 600 minutes homestudy per week. Other queer articles may be found on page 3 of the Crimson Rambler, which was made up as an April Fools’ joke. During the past year we have received copies of the following papers: The Crimson Rambler from Wellington, Kansas; The Lowell from San Francisco; K. H. S. Life from Vancouver; King Edward School Chronicle from England; The Crescent Siren, Calgary; The Western Mirror, Cal¬ gary ; The Cascadian, Banff; The Torch, Stony Plain, Alberta; The Blue and White from King Edward High School, Vancouver; The Perroquet from Regina; and from Edmonton, Vic Argosy, Westglen Parade, Tech ’Pinion and Commercial Chronicle.

Most students look forward to the end of their school days—no more nagging teachers, no more worrying over homework not done. But in reality there is a certain sentiment attached to one’s school days which, upon discovery, will lead us to appreciate the value of teachers as well as —Continued on Page i6 18 E. H. S. GRAD GAZETTE HOnOR ROLL As defined by the dictionary, to study is “to bestow pains upon: to apply the mind to: to examine closely, in order to learn thoroughly, etc.” To many so-called students this idea has never occurred, but the following pupils have proven that their grey matter has been stimulated enough to bring them averages of over 75% at Christmas and Easter on thirty credits: Grade X—James Anderson, Roy Clark, Katie Kuziek, Thomas La- kusta, Donald McMillan, Violet Mercer, Mary Pomeranski, Gwen Roper. Grade XI—Douglas Baines, Donald Baker, Mary Fairhead, Joyce Hepburn, Jennie Lastiwka, Doreen Ockenden. Grade XII—Alice Laskiwski, Colin Gordon, Nellie Hunter, Robert McClary, Olga Myson, Muriel Smith. The I. 0. D. E. awards for last year were given to Edna Thomson, Room 21, and Gerald Cullen, Room 19, for English 2, and to Douglas Baines, Room 18, and Doreen Ockenden, Room 22, for Social Studies 1. Edna Remnick of Room 23 carried off the Public Speaking Cup this year. F ' i. 20 E. H. S. GRAD GAZETTE THE PRESIDENT’S REPORT We of the Union Executive wish to thank all students who have helped make ’41-’42 a greatly successful year. After a late start at school and consequent delay in organization, the room reps were chosen early in October, and shortly afterwards the executive was elected. Fees were then collected, Room 19 paying on the first day, thus earning the prize of free entrance to the year’s dance. Sports equipment was bought and grants, etc., covered with the money collected fromNfees. It was not long until enthusiastic students were operating the various ' clubs. A “lit committee,” co-ordinated with the executive, staged five well- received lits, four of which were followed by dances, successful to a great extent because of much-appreciated aid of chaperones and the excellent new arrangements made for music. One evening dance and two skating parties were held. The new idea of returning to the school after skating, which was tried at our second skating party, helped to make it one of the most successful events in school history. We who are left on the executive feel we are speaking for all E. H. S. when we express regret over the loss of Jim Harris, treasurer, and Ken Sutherland, boys’ sports rep. Jim and Ken left school in April. We should like to express our sincere appreciation of help given us in different ways by Mr. Younie, Miss Munro, and other members of the staff. Thanks again, students and teachers, for your whole-hearted co¬ operation during 1941-42. KEN DEANE. 4. Drummer boy. 5. 1 ' 9. Our artist. 10. Elmer 12. Meet the Dodds. 13. 1. Shoe trouble. 2.

This is the result. Lower enrollment in the school, along with business conditions caused by the war, has necessitated our cutting down on the number of pages in this year’s Gazette, but we hope the quality will make up for the loss in quantity. Behind the “Gazette Staff—Private” sign on Room 23 door, the pro¬ duction of three Gazettes has gone on. To those who, especially Miss Howard, our kind advisor, have labored at this thankless job, we are very grateful. To compensate for the grey hairs we acquired there have been wrinkles of laughter. When, in after years, the graduates of ’42 look back at this, their Grad Gazette, we hope that the material herein collected will bring back happy memories of their final school year. Good luck! ROOM REPS. 24 E. H. S. GRAD GAZETTE Birds Eye View of Forty-Two Sept. 22 —Ah! the fatal day finally rears its ugly puss! Although most of us found that rallying ’round at this time a gruesome ordeal, there were some optimistic ones who were actually glad to get back to the trials and tribulations of another stretch, after the extended holiday. Oct. 3 —All the would-be camera-ites signed up to faithfully take pic¬ tures of anyone who ivasn’t in the mood for “birdie watching” and to learn how to save “sheckles” by developing their own photographs. Oct. 8 —The symphony orchestra got together for the first time and really “gave out” with the latest thing by Beethoven. Oct. H —Since the chosen room “reps” had been in secret conference the week before, this date witnessed some of the gang really giving Churchill and Roosevelt a run for their money in the campaign speeches for the school election. Oct. 15 —We all waited expectantly around the bulletin board on this date, while the returns rolled in and secured the position of president for Ken (“Man-Mountain”) Deane; vice-president, Lola (M-m-m!) Dyster; secretary, May (“The Musical Kid”) Dennistoun; treasurer, Jim (“Ser¬ geant”) Harris. Laura Tanasiuk won the well deserved position of girls’ sport rep, and Ken Sutherland was made boys’ sport rep. Oct. 16 —Another promising year, full of successes, seemed certain at the first meeting of the I. S. C. F. Oct. 17 —Old Room 18 wondered what was happening as large num¬ bers of “ping-pong” players filed in and joined up at the first meeting of the club. In Room 22, Mr. Clark, “the badminton king,” greeted the new members of the progressive association of “shuttle-cock smackers.” Nov. 5 —Well, we finally made it! What? Oh, just the first edition of the Gazette. Nov. 8 —Talk about talent! Do you remember the gay Talent Lit which included singing, dancing, musical numbers and choral speaking? Just for something extra the whole school had a lively sing-song that tasted like more. To top off the whole affair we turned the gym into a regular Dog-Patch as the girls pulled a Sadie Hawkins in remembrance of that famous “creetur.” E. H. S. GRAD GAZETTE 25 Nov. 15 —To begin one of the most successful clubs that Eastwood has harvested for many a moon, numerous students got together to learn the intricate art of “bowling ’em over.” (And some of us still don’t know the difference between a strike and a spare!) Dec. J—“Oh, Casey would skate with an E. H.S. blonde (brunette or redhead) while the band played on.” Just by way of pointing out that on this date we all met at Alberta Avenue Rink and had the rarest old time at Eastwood’s first skating party. Dec. 17 —The second edition of “The Biggest Little Paper on Earth.” Jan. 20 —Some of the Eastwoodites turned “Quiz-Kids” on us and whipped home with a “buck” apiece for their efforts on “Dollars for Scholars.” Jan. 23 —Yes, we did have a super time at the second skating party, but oh! the coffee and doughnuts afterwards (with two real lumps of sugar in the coffee!). Feb. 12 —What are all the dates in history compared to this never-to- be-forgotten day when the E. H. S. girls’ basketball team won (yes, really won) a game! Feb. 13 —If you are superstitious about Friday the 13th you should have been at the Eastwood Jinx dance. After crawling under ladders, jumping over black cats, any mouldy old superstition was soon dispensed with. The lovely strains of Jack Dennistoun’s orchestra provided the at¬ mosphere. Feb. 25 —Great glittering gobs of gruesome gossip helped to make the third edition of the Gazette the best yet. Feb. 27 —Some people are still wondering whether any reference was intended to them when Edna Remnick won the cup at the Public Speaking Lit for good old Room 22 (yea!) with her speech on “Sights I Have Seen at the Swimming Pool.” yiarch 26 —We “old-timers” (Grade XI’s) discovered that the “little” Grade X’s do have some talent when they presented their play, “The Royal Touch.” March 30-April 2 —Will we ever recover from that horrible week of Easter exams? April 13 —Even the date should give you some idea of what happened when we trooped back to the little red schoolhouse and got our exam re¬ sults. P.S.—Next morning the R.C.A.F. and Women’s Auxiliary got a lot of new recruits. 26 E. H. S. GRAD GAZETTE April 22 —Part of the musical parade was presented at the final Lit on Wednesday. Just to finish it off nicely, we all went to town on a mellow old jive-session. April 23 —Imagine the look of surprise on some people’s faces when the Academic Pin winners were announced and they weren’t among the fortunate ones. They just couldn’t understand it. (Oh, yea!) April 2U —What has Hollywood got in the way of talent compared to the amazing abilities shown by Eastwood students at the music parade under the direction of Miss Harris? What with the orchestra numbers, choral work, minstrel, folk songs and the modern operetta, the kids really showed their parents, uncles, cousins, sisters, brothers, aunts, etc., that they are getting something out of their education even if it isn’t from text books. April-March —Eastwood students went all out for victory in the War Savings Campaign by buying enough stamps to sink a ship—maybe a U-boat! Room 19 pupils dug the largest hole in the ever-lovin’ allowance and bought over $20.00 worth of stamps in one week. May, June —Can you imagine it? Only two more months, hardly any time, and we will be whipping out to the lake for a long-awaited vacation. Oh, just the thought of it! Whoops! I almost forgot, there is a slight matter of some mangy old departmental exams to be delved into before that happy time. Oh, well, we can dream, can’t we? Then there will be some delightsome farewell parties, hikes, etc., to end this term. So let’s dream up a beautiful finale to another precious year. TO THE TEACHERS (Continued from Page 17) the thought that their jobs are not easy. Their work in sponsoring and guiding the many activities and clubs is one of the things for which we thank the teachers. This year the staff has been cut because of Miss Anderson’s transfer to Westglen. All the Grads will remember her for her work in several clubs as well as her ability to teach English. Another absentee is our Principal, Major Hyde, whom we all miss, yet feel he is doing a wonderful job in his present position. Yet another change in the staff brings us a new and capable secre¬ tary—Miss Goold. She has proven her worth by all the numerous tasks performed outside her regular duties. We are grateful to her and wish her much success at E. H. S. A i ■ 2 ,. i! M M 1 r ;: f i j ■ I i V i - 5 r AIR CADETS With Mr. Crockford as instructor, some sixty Eastwood boys have be¬ come familiar with such aspects of soldiering as arms drill, map reading, direction finding, field tactics and rifle shooting. A group of ten boys is making a special study of signalling under Sergeant-Major Banner. Those in Grades XI or XII will get two credits for it, if they pass the examina¬ tion. Eastwood cadets comprise one platoon with: Platoon Commander— Don Fallis; Platoon Sergeant—Bill Seymour; Sections Leaders—Brian Dunsworth, Douglas Johnstone and Gus Mouner. The corps is to be in¬ spected by Captain Bennet some time in May. Eastwood’s Girl Cadets started off with the best intentions, but un¬ fortunately their drilling and first aid work came to an end shortly after Christmas because Mr. Crockford was occupied with the boys’ hockey. And incidentally, just in case some of you boys are interested, we have it on good authority that cadets will be compulsory next year. wmt mmm || ’ ' fl| If, W I irr n il .it ii Mi PHI KAPPA ■ I „ 1 tm%, 1 •� A Jnt: ttj ' m SIS , «T5 PING PONG CLUB BADMINTON CLUB 30 E. H. S. GRAD GAZETTE FOLK SONG GROUP PLANTATION GROUP The fine performance on Friday, April 24, was a fitting climax to the diligent work done by our budding young musicians. About one hundred and thirty took part in this Music Parade. The classical numbers sung by the Music 1 and Music 2 classes, including their folk songs, were the work of well-trained songsters. The voices of a number of the boys made a welcome addition in the presentation of plantation songs. Originality was shown in the modern opera skit, arranged by Rhoda Williamson, and put on by an enthusiastic group headed by Barbara Newnham. Last, but not least, came the orchestra. Added to the regulars were Doug Leitch and Brian Dunsworth, completing a group of happy (?) workers. We are certain the audience enjoyed their performance, espe¬ cially “Deep in the Heart of Texas,” improved by Jim Grant’s idea of adding cowbells and tom-toms. —Continued on Pape S4 E. H. S. GRAD GAZETTE 31 THE KEY GROUP Supervisor - - - Colin Gordon President - - - Miss Gimby The Key Group of the Dramatics Club consists of students who have earned their membership by giving a specified amount of time and effort to the club productions during their high school years. With Miss Gimby as supervisor, the group has done much to further study of the drama at Eastwood. Although a year play was not produced, three theatre parties were held, one to “Ladies in Retirement,” a Little Theatre production, another to “Henry Aldrich,” presented by Vic High School, and the third to “Grumpy,” the ’Scona year play. In addition, some help was given in the recent Eastwood play, “The Royal Touch,” which was later presented at Westglen. The executive consists of Colin Gordon, Mary Gish, Gus Mouner and Hugh Montgomery. The club and the school wish to thank Miss Gimby for her untiring efforts to promote dramatics in Eastwood. 32 E. H. S. GRAD GAZETTE THE BOWLING CLUB President - - - Ken Sutherland Supervisor - - - Mr. Leaver The Bowling Club is now just a happy memory to its many members. It was one of the most successful clubs this year. Every Thursday afternoon at four o’clock, a mob of students rushed down the street, into the street car, and before you could realize what was happening, were pouring into the Recreation bowling alleys downtown. The club wishes to thank Mr. Leaver for his kind sponsorship of the club, and the members also wish to thank the “Rec” for their kind reduc¬ tion of the rates. ORCHESTRA Director - - - Miss Harris Our symphony orchestra has made great strides this past year, under the patient direction of Miss Harris. Every Wednesday, this industrious group has given a more or less melodious noonhour to the lower hall, as they ran through some of their favorite pieces, such as The Cossack, Old Dan Tucker, Deep in the Heart of Texas. Our budding musicians include: First Violins—Lorraine Quigley, Gordon Michie, Elwyn Freeman, Garth Freeman, Leo Kaufenburg. 2nd Volins—Luise Weiss, Phyllis Podolanchuk, Jean Cunningham, Norman Young. Piano—Betty Youmans. ’Cello—Mary Fairhead. Clarinets—Wes Passmore and Norman Wilton. Trumpets—Lonnie Heslep and Ernie Jamieson. Drums—Jim Grant. Their part in the Musical Parade, held on April 24th, was found most entertaining to the audience. PHI KAPPA President - - - Don Fallis Supervisor - - - Mr. McCoy Under the able direction of Mr. McCoy, the photography club of E. H. S. is now finishing a most successful year. The most capable execu¬ tive consists of Don Fallis, Doug Baines, Betty Glauser and Archie Bres- sey. The fifteen members of the club spend their time learning (or try¬ ing!) to develop and print pictures. During the year, the club visited McCutcheon’s studio. The Phi Kappa wishes to thank Mr. McCoy for the time and effort he has spent with the club. E. H. S. GRAD GAZETTE 33 BADMINTON CLUB Supervisor - - - Mr. Clark President - Don Muir One of the most active clubs this year was the Badminton, which had a membership of approximately forty-five bird-hitting fans. Secretary-treasurer of the club was Isobel Fyfe. The schedule-makers were Pam Owen, Beryl Jones, Brian Dunsworth, Don Baker, Mary Lou Ossendoth and Katherine Elliot. A badminton tournament was held and is still unfinished. (We hope it will be finished before our long-awaited vacation.) Runners-up in the city finals were Don Sutherland, Doug Leitch, Bob Mitchell, Lome Dyer and Don Muir. Honorable mention goes to Cecil Cramer, Bob Mitchell, Mickey Wakal, who showed outstanding ability during the year. Persons who showed progress during the year were Bert Ebbers, Doug Clark, Yvonne Field and others. The members are proud possessors of a blue and gold crest. The club purchased more racquets and strung some of the old ones. Here’s hoping we can get winners in the city finals next year. I. S. C. F. Supervisor - - - Mr. McCoy President - - - Lola Patterson Again the Inter-School Christian Fellowship has had another suc¬ cessful year under the guidance of its executive—Lola Patterson as presi¬ dent, Mary Gish as vice-president, and Edna Thompson as secretary. Mr. McCoy acted as sponsor for the high school group, and Mr. Mix for the intermediates, who have been attending the meetings since January. The group has had several interesting speakers, including Rev. Elroy Thompson, Rev. MacBeath Millar, Rev. Mr. Patterson, Mr. Fykes, Rev. Daniel Young, and the provincial secretary for the club, Mr. George Duggart. Discussions of the Christian way of life were met with much enthus¬ iasm. Several socials have been enjoyed by the group along with other school groups. In February the climax of their activities was a rally held at McDougall United Church with the Dominion secretary, Melvin Donald, as guest speaker. All city groups will join in a giant hike on May 25th. A provincial camp at Gull Lake will begin on July 4th for ten days. The club wishes to thank Mr. McCoy and Mr. Mix for their able guidance of its work. 34 E. H. S. GRAD GAZETTE PING-PONG CLUB Supervisor - - - Mr. Sim President - - - Margaret Mortimer Starting off with a bang, Room 18 was crowded to capacity the first meeting, but many were disappointed because the club could only admit a limited number. Those who hurried ahead and brought their fees in were assured of finding a place in the club. Dave Ghormley, Barbara Newnham and Bob Jamha found a place for themselves as vice-president, secretary, and treasurer, respectively. Margaret Mortimer was elected unanimously as president. Schedule-makers were Kay Blair, Harry Myskew and Don Morrison. Several new ping-pong sets were purchased and some new bats, which were greatly appreciated by all. We hope that the club will go into full swing next year. HI-Y CLUB The Hi-Y motto is “To create, maintain and extend throughout the school and community high standards of Christian character.” With this in mind, the club re-organized in the fall of 1941 with Mr. McGuire as their sponsor. The officers are: President, Tommy Russell; secretary, Harry Myskew; Central Council representatives, Colin Gordon, Hugh Montgomery and Joe Cherniowski. The Hi-Y considers three areas of program—self-betterment, service projects and social programs. They have attempted to follow this closely. Discussions have been held in conjunction with other Hi-Y clubs and in their own meetings on a wide variety of topics. The Hi-Y in the city aided the Chamber of Commerce in the salvage drive. Numerous social functions well attended by Eastwood were held. The members have obtained their sweaters, which you can see them proudly displaying in the hall. Arrangements are now being completed for next year’s club. THE MUSIC PARADE —Continued from Page SO This program was highly praised by the city musical supervisor, Mr. Eagleson. Thanks go to Miss Harris for her grand work in organizing and conducting the musical show. As a small token of their appreciation, the music pupils presented Miss Harris with a large bouquet of spring flowers. E. H. S. GRAD GAZETTE 35 36 ROOM 14 ROOM 17 E. H. S.

Due to the lack of inter-school competition and perhaps to lack of enthusiasm amongst the students, this term has not been one of the best. Nevertheless, that is past history and there is a brighter side to the picture. Much credit is due to the boys and girls of this school, who have upheld the high stand¬ ard of sporting activities and have made Eastwood High School widely known. To the teachers and experienced leaders go the thanks of all the students, who would have had a difficult time in organization had it not been for their assistance. During the fall and winter months, the girls organized a fine basket¬ ball house league. Great enthusiasm was shown and every room was represented. Room 14 won the girls’ banner—but not until the other teams had gone down fighting. To the senior girls’ basketball team goes the praiSe ' of the entire school for the fine spirit shown in the few games they played. The girls were coached jay Miss Harris, Sam Shecter, George Younie, Ken Deane and Brian Dunsworth. The boys above mentioned take an active part in city basketball and for their support and instruc¬ tion the senior girls feel deeply grateful. During this term the boys’ gym did not see much organized activity. This may be partly due to the fact that Air Cadets, Sea Cadets and other branches of the armed forces have occupied the spare time of the boys. This, of course, is unavoidable and in their training the boys receive physical training and sports. Another factor may be the general low attendance throughout the school. Many boys have left school and a number have enlisted. These may be the reasons why there has been a lack of house-league competition among the boys. Basketball and volleyball teams were chosen and a number of games were played, but enthusiasm waned and the teams disbanded. However, the few boys who did show some sporting blood had a fine time—and to them the year has been a success. —Continued on Pape 54 6. Soldier 3. Rose O’Day. 4. A student. 8. Four pretty girls. 9.

It seems that L. T. finds the company of our intriguing president very delightful, so apparently does G. S. What’s the big attraction, girls? After long consideration, it seems that our Boys’ Sports Rep finally decided that the love-life of Olde E. H. S. too much for him. Is there a certain something about the air in the Highlands that is particularly agreeable to that dashing young Romeo of Room 19, namely J. Baldwin? Jan Taylor used to be fairly prompt mornings when she arrived at school in the “bus.” Could it be a scarcity of roosters that is the cause of her delay nowadays? Looma (Ernest to you) Jamison has caused such a flutter in so-oo many feminine hearts recently, the boys are beginning to worry. Has anyone noticed that new tricycle of Don Fallis’? We hear that it’s built for two. What is it about Fuibert Vance that so attracts “Tiddiley” Dennis- toun? Could it be his sox appeal? Harry calls it a car, but thank goodness that’s only one man’s opinion. Well, folks! Why not try patronizing the ’Scona dances to get the line up on the big attractions—so called by G. Younie? Who was that girl we saw with the “Yank in the R.C.A.F.” Saturday? It couldn’t be P. Jackson, could it? Quit being a “Yank in the U.S.A.” and be a “jerk” at home. Who is the A.C.(2) in Corporal Doug Baines’ heart? What brand of tooth-powder does Doris Smith use, that gives her that super “come hither” smile? We try but never seem to be able to get results. Eastwood’s man-about-town, “Breezy” Dunsworth, was very cut-up about his clarinet solo Friday night. He managed very well when playing with the others; but his reed just seemed to get twisted when he got up there by himself. You should have seen that mad dash to the Rialto theatre Friday, as hundreds of frenzied women dashed up to nab jobs as usherettes. By the way, did those young chappies who were looking for the Lux toilet soap to improve their complexions ever find it? Have you noticed any improvement? What’s the matter with the girls around Eastwood nowadays, Mr. Madill—they used to suit your taste pretty well, didn’t they? Barbara Newnham evidently found her Elmer after the concert Fri¬ day night. She had four escorts taking her home. The lucky girl! Events certainly are reaching a climax when J. Davies begins treating D. Muir so readily that he is left lying flat on his back. If all the girls of Ye Olde Alma Mater would be as patriotic in writing to and entertaining the forces, as a certain young lady in Room 21, they would know no dull moments. —Continued on Page 44 0 y44c t)e f tmiJL Studw£ J tJl.

Speaking of gallant people, Bill Boyar discarded his “longies” two weeks earlier this year—all for the sake of the Drama. It’s getting pretty serious for the rest of the girls when two prominent students of E.H.S. and one ex-student all take out the same girl every Sat¬ urday night, then take turns taking her home. A certain boy in E. H. S. is not interested in high school girls at present. His latest Juliet is in East- wood but alack! alas! she’s in Grade IX. She’s cute, too, isn’t she, George ? From what we can see the Miller affair seems to be progressing very well. What about it, Doug and Joan? Dave: “Something is wrong with this engine.” Doreen: “Don’t be silly, Dave; wait ’til we get off the highway.” “Sorry, madam, but licenses are issued only when your form is filled out properly.” “Why, I like your nerve, sir!

Out in the Atlantic Ocean, Patrolling up and down, Was a Canadian corvette About to win renown. Speeding through the water, Lifting her bow in pride, Was the sea’s dreadnaughty daughter, The mighty Summerside. She was up there for one purpose, Which shouldn’t be hard to guess— Looking for the periscope Of a German sub, no less. It was three o’clock in the afternoon, The weather was like spring, When in the cabin on the bridge They heard a little ping. Trained for instant action, The crew rushed to and fro. They knew there was no time to lose And they all knew where to go. Within a matter of moments The ocean was a-churn With depth charge after depth charge Starboard, port and astern. The battle lasted for hours, It was quite a little row. The German sub let go a fish Which crossed the corvette’s bow. But there was no doubt of the victor, And it soon came to an end, With a final pattern of charges That paid a dividend. That was just another example Of the Canadian Navy’s might, How they drive the German sub¬ marines Completely out of sight. So now’s the time to do your part Before another day is gone.

He: “When I was in Europe I saw a woman hitched to a mule.” She: “That happened at my wed¬ ding, too.” Georgina: “Whenever I’m in the dumps I get myself a new hat.” Barbara: “I was wondering where you got them.” Cinderella: “Godmother, must I leave the ball at twelve?” The Good Fairy: “You won’t go at all if you don’t stop swearing.” The dizzier a girl is the more the fellows want to give her the whirl. 54 E. H. S. GRAD GAZETTE WAR SAVINGS STAMP DRIVE “Buy War Savings Stamps” was the constant plea, but it didn’t seem to do any good. The Eastwood students (we wonder?) never even seemed to see the notices or hear the announcements regarding these stamps. One day early in March someone had a brain-wave. Plans were rapidly made and on March 19 our War Savings Campaign began. The committee in charge was headed by Lola Patterson and the other members were Muriel Smith, May Dennistoun, Georgina Shillabeer and Robert Campbell. Not many were sold on Friday, so on Monday speeches were made in all the rooms, and things really began rolling. As a result of the six-day campaign (school days only counted), we sold 499 stamps or a total value of $124.75. Room 19 led the parade closely followed by Room 18. However, that is not the only thing. Apart from the drive we have sold another $100.00 worth of stamps, bringing the grand total for the school year to approximately $225.00. Keep up the good work, Eastwood. SPORTS -— Continued from Page 40 In outdoor activity, hockey, softball and rugby teams were picked, with hockey and softball seeing the most activity. The boys who take a real part in sporting activities show their appreciation by turning out for scheduled games. It has been the lack of this very thing which has caused the slight decline in boys’ sports this year. The hockey teams saw the most action this term, as many inter-school games were played. The captain, Joe Cherniawski, proved himself to be as fine a player on the ice as he is on the gridiron. Eastwood High School has been well represented in city, provincial and dominion sports. Many famous names in the sporting world today are graduates of this school. These athletes have won the acclaim of thousands of sport fans, and I am sum E. H. S. will follow their fine example and prove that sporting activity is one of the finest aspects of high school life. DEDICATION TO THE TEACHERS On our masters and teachers, opinions are legion, Each has his place in the cerebrum region. So as we are leaving, we want to express Our thanks for assistance in many a mess. In Algebra, Trig., Chemistry, French, We’ve all slumped together on Ignorance bench, Many of us are seated there still In spite of our teachers’ efforts and will. We know Mr. Sim is a friend to all, He’s never unfair and get angry with all. Mr. McGuire, ex-wrestler, quite nice, Keeps young gentlemen sitting as quiet as mice, When over the room he casts his eye, Searching for you, or could it be I? This one you’ll guess, or have you the guile? He rubs his nose and thinks awhile. Then says he with untroubled smile, “Name me an enzyme of the bile.” And then Mr. Clarke, our dancing master, Who cheerfully leads us through disaster, As step after step, we struggle to learn, But find that our feet run their own concern. But now Mr. Leaver, a versatile fellow, Who at times breaks out with a baritone mellow, Or at some other time he may give a few talks On the way Venus wanders, or the way Johnstone walks. Mr. Younie, the boss, is last but not least, And pupils try, like pigs that are greased, To slip through his fingers when they’ve done wrong, But they never can do it for very long. Autograph W ' ft V
