GRADE IX B My study in music has brought me to Toronto where I have been for almost one year. To-night while going through some old familiar books I found an E. H. S. '60racle dated back to 1944. My friend Marie and I pondered over the book for some time and when we came across the good old Grade 9B page I smiled, then grinned, and finally laughed. I think back now of the fun we used to have and also the detentions. At the beginning of that year we had Miss Axford for our form teacher, but in November she had an accident, and an- other teacher, Mr. Carbert, took her place for the time. After about two weeks, a new teacher, Miss Etherington from Toronto, came to substitute. She remained till after Christmas when Miss Axford came back. new teacher, Mr. Rousell, was added to the staff, and we enjoyed his subjects very much. I smile when I think of how I hated those art periods. I liked the teacher, Miss MacVicar, but I just couldn't do Art. We had Miss Harper for Home Econo- mics, and while sewing we had a gossip circle. Our French teacher, Miss Evans, was a very peppy and happy sort of person and was well liked. We had Miss Boland for Penmanship and those were the best periods by far. As I look at those pictures I have at least one good memory of each of my fellow-students. I rem-ember when Don Robbins used to deliver meat for one of the butchers. I believe almost every time Don used the cutter the horse ran away fwith himj. That's Clarence Ste- ver next to Don. Didn't he have a cute smile? I believe just now he is study- ing to be a school-teacher. He said at one time that that was his lifelong am- bition. I used to think I was late in the mornings but he was always behind me. That's Ronnie Rau beside Clarence. I always thought he was rather shy, be- cause sometimes he was so quiet. He used to play goalie for our Bantum Team and was quite good. Ha! Ha! Well, if it isn't Lorne Snyder again! He was studying to be a minister, the last I heard. Hasn't the boy behind him a bright look! I remember he used to play quite a bit of hockey. His name is Floyd Martin. Master Richard Wei- chel looks afraid, doesn't he? He was always so quiet, and you'd never hear much from him. Ward Schwindt is ust ahead. He used to live in North Wool- wich and in the summer he'd always bike to town every day. Here is Eric Readg I think he is following his fa- ther's trade now and he is quite a good painter, I'm sure. That's Bill Otto. He certainly was crazy, you could hardly keep from laughing at him. I believe he is working for his father in the men's store now. The short little fellow be- side him is Robert Soehner. He, like Floyd and Lorne, came from Floradale and played hockey. There's Georgey Porgey the Mathematics genius QPro- fessorj. I donit think he's any relation to Eric but they both are silly. Try to keep George quiet and you have a hand- ful. This is fButcherJ Karl Schmier- mund. He used to deliver meat for Ottmanas butcher shop. I believe he is office manager at the Schneider meat plant now. Short or Kenny Wilken follows. He was always turning around to Erma Martin for geography ques- tions. CI think he works for the gov- ernment in foreign countriesj. The girl that's smiling is Erma Martin. She was the 9B all-star basketball player and we wouldn't have had a chance without her. The next one is me, but let's skip that part, eh? The little blonde fellow beside me is Tommy O'Krafka. He could be so quiet fonce in a whilel and sometimes he made more noise than you could expect from one person. Alarm Clock Meyer is be- hind Tommy . He was usually so sleepy in the morning that he took off the first period to sleep. Shirley Lorch, one of our basket-ball players, is next. Then comes Don's sister Gloria. She, like me, came tagging along at about five to fContinued on page 693 RICHARD BRAUNLICH MERCHANT TAILOR High-Class' Tailoring PHONE 5-5213 - WATERLOO 57
