But, if these people showed slight interest in botherin , teachers, others gl dly made up for it. Elvis Cichon, a natural nuisance any¬ where, takes special pains to be a pest in English and French classes. Lawrence Watts took particular pride in not having his History notebook up-to-date, and hr. honteith has a special fondness for his favourite headache. Then there is hartha martin, who cuts up in such a subtle way, that no one actually catches her in the act. But, they know she’s there. Of course, a few individuals have their minds in other places, and can ' t concentrate on annoying the staff, Margaret Chambers and Barb Zakow don’t care much about 11CD; are much more interested in Grade 12. Richard Ward spends much more time over at Butts’ than at school, strange fascination over there. Emily ' s mind is with Ron in Rhode Island while iiarilyn Kellington thinks mostly about one Rick. Donna Little, in a daze anyway, calmly walked into the shower room during a boys ' basketball game. She didn ' t stay very long. Just to addspice to the life, we have two informal conference cor¬ ners. I.ary and 3ev, on one side, keep one of the prof ' s eyes occupied, while Marilynn Peckett and yours truly on the other take care of his re¬ maining one. . e ' ll have most of the teachers cross-eyed by the end of the year, but that is our job. ery much in the minority are some strange individuals such as Gayle Gaddes, Janey Degroot, Greg Johnston and Jimmy Douglas who sit quietly and listen to the lesson. While the rest of the class is clowning, these ’ ' different 1 ' individuals actually try to pay attention. Of course, their narks show it, but the will-power it requires is beyond the reach of us ordinary people. Some people just don’t seem to care whether or not 11CD maintains its reputation for being previous problems. i.aureen Collins is too wrapped in Students’ Council and the ' ' isnn ’ 1 in her life to bother with such trivial goings-on. Richard Carder exercises all of his devilment on . .aureen so the teachers think he is perfectly innocent. Try and tell naureen that. everything in that class isn ' t premeditated foolery. When . r. Scott asked little Josephine about Dennis Anukluk, she answered, Well, Dennis Anukluk told Shark Dodson. “Why, sure, Mr. Scott replied, Dennis Anukluk told Shark Dodson that Job Luff had a good punt, and he was going to take ria Parker for a ride, but along came the Pied Piper and led all the rats under the Cherry Tree. Then sohrab and Rustum per¬ suaded Sherlock Holm s not to Sell the Farm of John Gilpin on the Sands of Dee, or Good King Wenceslas would tear down the Outstation. miss Read innocently made a brilliant statement in one of her involved ex¬ planations. Having filled our apples full of pockets. Now, quietly, class! Bob Hardy has a veritable storehouse of corny remarks. Like when Mr. Scott, in one of his witty moods said Don ' t panic! lie- member Pearl Harbour. Who, inquired aob, is she? In the struggle for life, liberty and the pursuit of teachers, some individuals have given pretty good indications of future occupations. Jud ' ing from his speech, Lawrence Moore hides a secret longing for big- game hunting, so we ' ll be saying good-bye to hime when his dream is real¬ ised. Gary Gurbin shows signs of becoming a quiz-master on Learm your Latin . One can base an opinion on the questions he asks Miss Read.

The pobie will peruse the boy for twenty-four hours. 11CD On a very dreary day in September 1956, a group of thirty-eight brave young souls congregated in Room 1 ' to survey the wilderness to be their home. As their innocent eyes passed over the endless monotony of wooden desks, their hearts were discouraged by the realization that they would have to liven up this God-forsaken place and make it home. With only thei.r patron, Mr. harrow, to ins lire them, they survived every im- agi ijable crisis to emerge as the greatest 11CD in history. Through their untiring antics, they finally succeeded in becoming the brainiest, brawniest and most beautiful class in the school, and in giving every teacher 3tuck with us the biggest problem of his career. raturally, I ' m prejudiced. Of course, everyone played a part in bringing a general headache, even though he had his own problems to attend to. It took Barb Ashford almost a lifetime to convince her parents that she should go steady. But, she finally succeeded, and now is happy with Lawrence. Sylvia Mac- Rae had her problems in evading a certain boy who, she insisted, was al¬ ways pursuing her. Then Lorraine Corbett, Red Cross representative, could hardly convince us that we should contribute to her i: F ind for Toothbrushes 1 ' . So she staged her own little- comedy 3hows in Scienee class saying, Ii little pigs are called piglets, then little chickens must be chiclets.
