22 E. H. S. GRAD GAZETTE B3SSS® Miss j. r. Howard ADVISOR Muriel Smith EDITOR Muriel Macdonald EDITOR. LOUISE WEISS BERYL PERRY YVONNE KNIGHT EXCHANGE EDITOR Margaret Mortimer CIRCULATION MANAGER ASSISTANT ARTIST ARTIST EDITORIAL In spite of the advice that the Graduation Gazette for 1942 be omitted, the Gazette staff decided to keep up the tradition. 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!

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.”
