Page Six “THE SPARTALOGUE ' 19 5 3 MERET QUI LABORAT Meret Qui Laborat — he who labours shall find merit. For proof of this statement which is the motto of our school, we need only refer to the impressive record of accomplishments achieved by our principal, Mr. Forster. Hard work was undoubtedly the factor contributing most to his success. Under his guiding hand and through his diligent efforts, Forster C. I. came into being. Progressing from a public school, which it had been since 1922, it became a continuation school in 1926, and finally attained the status of high school in 1929. When Sandwich Collegiate came into existence it had a total enrolment of one hundred and eighty students. Now, some twenty-four years after its founding, the collegiate has an enrolment of more than five hundred and fifty students. This large increase is not just coincidental. It is the result of the untiring efforts of Mr. Forster who is constantly striving to improve the school. In October, when former students of this school gathered to renew acquaintances, they easily persuaded the Board of Education to change the name of Sandwich Collegiate Institute to the John L. Forster Collegiate Institute as an expression of their sincere appreciation for his services. Today the name serves as a lasting memento to the man who is responsible for the greatness of the school and as a constant reminder that he who labours shall find merit. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Webster’s dictionary gives the meaning of acknowledgment as something given or done in return for a favour . As editors of the 1953 Spartalogue, we would like to give our sincerest thanks and deepest gratitude to the teaching and Spartalogue staffs in return for their valuable assistance and splendid co-operation. Especially deserving of our praise is our advisory editor, Miss Scarfone, under whose capable direction and untiring efforts the year book took form. Photographs are an enjoyable part of any publication. For the pictures found throughout this edition, we are indebted to Art Major and Tom Noble who spent many hours in taking and developing the many posed and candid shots. An artistic touch was furnished by Zenon Zubricki and the other artists whose masterful illustrations help to brighten the pages of printed matter. To them we would like to express our thanks for a job well done. Our thanks also go to those who typed the many articles and stories found in the ensuing pages. To help defray the tremendous expense involved in producing the Spartalogue, financial aid must be obtained through advertising. For their commendable job in selling almost one thousand dollars’ worth of advertising space, the advertising committee deserves a special vote of thanks. We would also like to take this opportunity to thank the advertisers, who, by buying space in our magazine hove shown their confidence in the youth of to-day. May we suggest that the students patronize them as much as possible in the future. To those faithful and diligent workers who undertook the menial but essential tasks connected with layout and ad-writing goes our genuine appreciation. In closing, we would like to thank all who helped in any way to make this year’s edition of the Spartalogue a success.

Changes in Staff The year 1952-53 is destined to be remembered as the Year of Changes in all walks of life—coronation of Elizabeth II—death of Stalin—election of Eisenhower —exchange of war prisoners—discovery of a vaccine to fight p olio—Windsor ' s new Centennial auditorium— Cinerama — a new name for our school — etc., etc. Among the less world-shaking, yet very interesting, events of the year are the changes in our teaching staff. In September, we welcomed two new teachers to the fold, Miss Jean Eddie from the Ontario College of Edu¬ cation and Miss Phyllis Farr from Strathroy Collegiate. Miss Eddie will grace our halls once again next year, but Miss Farr is leaving Forster to teach at the Orillia Col¬ legiate Institute. She will be married in the near future to Mr. Don McKellar who is at present residing in Windsor. Two other teachers have tendered their resignations this spring. Miss Jean Graham will leave for Toronto where she is to marry the Reverend Keith Brown, and Miss Harris will be married in July to Mr. John Heinbush of Kitchener. We wish to thank these teachers for the con¬ tributions they have made to Forster Collegiate and to wish them a very rosy future. Page Eight “THE SPARTALOGUE” 19 5 3 Class of ’53 As we leave Forster Collegiate to follow our separate paths, we, the class of ' 53, shall take with us a treasure of happy memories. It seems such a short while ago that we were lowly first formers roaring through the halls. Now, we are dignified ' ' seniors, enjoying the benefits of modern laboratories, a music room, a library, an art room, one of the city ' s best gymnasia and numerous other luxuries. How many memories there are to take with us! When we look back on our collegiate days, the lively Hard Times Hallowe ' en parties, the sparkling Football dances, April Serenades and the friendly Community centres will certainly be bright memories. We shall never forget our assemblies. The loud cheers and prolonged ap¬ plause mingled with our attempts at singing and a few well-deserved lectures will always ring in our ears. Spring days will conjure up platoons of cadets led by a brilliant colour party and marching to the stirring music of the band. Our first sun burn at the school track meet will be recalled almost as vividly as our participation in the various events. Operetta and drama opened new vistas for us. The smell of grease paint, the hilarious antics at practises, the nervous anticipation backstage, the hush before curtain time made us seasoned troopers. Perhaps our teams will linger longest in our memories. We shall recall how we thrilled to football under the bright lights of the Windsor stadium, the excite¬ ment of basketball and the screaming invasion of London to support our teams at W.O.S.S.A. We shall look back with fine memories on those who helped us develop our various talents whether they were in the scholastic, athletic or dramtic field. First on our list of helpers will be, of course, Mr. Forster who always insisted on good work, good sportsmanship, and four even periods . We are glad that we were present when he was paid the most fitting of tributes—the changing of the name Sandwich Collegiate” to J. L. Forster Collegiate . To us our days at Forster shall mean wonderful teachers, swell kids, good school spirit, and happy times.

Raising little Xmas trees “THE SPARTALOGUE” 19 5 3 Page Thirteen GRADUATES OF 1952 One of the most interesting jobs on the Spartalogue is to trace the graduates of the previous year and discover what professions they have entered. I ' m sure you remember those unfortunate students who tried to keep order in the class when the regular teacher was away. It seems that quite a few of them did not learn their lesson, for attending London Normal School are Joan Bradley, Mary Jo Hopkins, Eileen King, Ruth Richards and George Sutton. Also spending their time in London—at the University of Western Ontario—are three other Forster graduates. Tom Klein is studying Medicine; Mary Jane Makar and Pat Rigg are enrolled in the Journalism course. Pat Rigg was the Spartalogue ' s editor last year with Mary Jane as her assistant. We of this year ' s staff hope that their work on the year book is in some way responsible for their choice of profession. Windsor ' s famous Birk ' s Jewellers may soon feel the pressure from a new jewellery firm which will be composed of Alexander, Alexander and Alexander. Bill Alexander at present is studying Jewellery Design and Fabrication at Ryerson Institute in Toronto. Don and Jean Alexander are both in Windsor, Don working for People ' s Credit Jewellers and Jean working as a stenographer at Veteran ' s Land Act. Soon, according to Bill, the three of them will make up a new jewellery firm. The Spartalogue staff wish them loads of prosperity in their venture. A number of our graduates may be found at Assumption College. To them, Forster is still a part of their every-day life, for they are faithfully attending basketball games, dances, community nights and other activities. Students of Assumption are Steve Szekesy, Cliff Molynecux, Ed Beattie, who is studying Pre-Engineering, and Cliff Pattison who is enrolled in Liberal Arts. Among last year ' s graduates, we hove four potential engineers. Ted Skoczen is a student at the University of Detroit, Dave McCuaig is at the University of Toronto, and Bob Dagenais is enrolled at Queen ' s University. Ed Beatty, as we said before, is at Assumption. With Dave McCuaig at Toronto are Delores De Fields, a student in the School of Pharmacy, John Lindsay enrolled in Honour Mathematics and Physics, and Mel Steinhart studying Dentistry. Queen ' s University also has a good representation from Forster. Bob Dagenais is with Jim Grier and Sandy Robertson who are enrolled in Pre-Meds. Farther out east, at the University of New Brunswick, is Mark Johnston singing the praises of the west (Windsor!!) to his classmates in the College of Forestry. Apart from the graduates who are now at University, there are many who have already gone to work. Jack Boyer, last year ' s manager of the football team, is working in the Traffic Department of the city. He had a taste of fame in this position when his picture appeared in the Star a short time ago. Also connected with the City of Windsor is Betty Bruce, working as a stenographer at the City Hall. At General Foods Limited are Irene Cunningham employed as a receptionist and Ella Eberwein as a Laboratory Assistant. Ella bv the way is sporting a lovely engagement ring—the lucky man is Chuck Coutts. Irene also is a bride-to-be. Her fiance is Mike Parashak. Since Windsor is primarily an automotive city, many Forster graduates have sought their niche in the automo¬ bile industry. Diane Stephen is doing clerical work at Ford ' s and Bob Wells is working in the office of the same plant. Jack Thompson, who together with George Sutton made last year ' s All-Star football team, is working as a Spot Welder at Chrysler ' s and plans to enter University next year. Betty Bate, another grad connected with the automobile business, is employed as a secretary at Downtown Chevrolet and Oldsmobile. In case you are looking for insurance, Forster grads can assist you in purchasing the best available. Shirley Sterry is working as a secretary at Dominion Mutual Insurance and Irene Stretavsky is working as a secretary at Mutual Life Insurance. Employed at J. T. Wing and Co. as a stenographer is Joan Cummings. If you need medical help, consult the office of the Windsor Medical Services. Mrs. Bob Hollup-to-be is working there. She is probably better known as Bernice Robinson, a student from Forster. Already a bride is Barbara Bennett who is now Mrs. John Moffat. She claims that there is nothing she would prefer to being a homemaker. One of our grads has become a Detroit-Windsor commuter by obtaining a position in Detroit. Patricia Kay is working at the Bell Telephone Company. Shirley Saul, whom I am sure you will remember as one of the excellent accompanists for last year ' s operetta, is spending the year at home studying music. Next year Shirley will attend the University of Toronto College of Music where she will continue her study of the piano. Doing his best to keep the community warm, is Warren Dawson who is employed at the Bygrove Oil Burner Company. Last but by no means least we have Joan Rudkin who is a secretary at Westinghouse and Marjorie Quayle who works as a secretary at Bendix Eclipse. As you can see, Forster graduates have penetrated into every line of business. The school is as proud of them as they are of the school.

Page Eighteen “THE SPARTALOGUE 19 5 3 Graduates’ Reunion “Bob!” exclaimed a plump blonde rushing over to plant a resounding kiss on a tall middle-aged man while five hundred spectators looked on. “What ' s that? you ask. It ' s just one of many greetings taking place during the weekend of October tenth and eleventh when over a thousand former Sandwich students gathered to rem¬ inisce, and to pay tribute to a faithful teacher, principal, and friend. “How did it all come about? No one quite knows. But somehow the idea of a reunion for Sandwich graduates became a plan and then a wonderful reality. About the first of June, two former Sandwich girls, Isabel (Wilson) Hills and Elizabeth (Reid) Innes, in¬ vited other graduates to one of their homes to discuss plans for a reunion. From the beginning, the grads agreed that this reunion was to be a tribute to Mr. Forster. They approached the Board of Education with the suggestion that the name of the school be changed to the John L. Forster Collegiate Institute and the Board wholeheartedly agreed. Don Gray was elected reunion president and the various committees began the difficult task of locating all the students who attended Sandwich from 1925 to 1940. Apparently NOTHING was allowed to interfere with this work, not even such an important occasion as a wedding! This sounds incredible, but it is true. When Shirley Head, a committee member, was married, her mother inherited the task of locating the thirty-five addressees on Shirley ' s list. New York, Ohio, Penn¬ sylvania, Quebec and dozens of Ontario centres were represented at the week-end of the year. We J. L. Forster students shared in the festivities by meeting some of the former Sandwich students at an assembly. As Don Gray welcomed the grads and Mr. Forster introduced some of the distinguished guests, ex¬ citement rose until even we felt the thrill of the occasion. The highlight of Friday evening was the football game between Sandwich and Patterson, and although we lost, those grads never once became discouraged. In fact, their cheering could be heard long after many of us had become disheartened. Saturday was packed with activity. After a short memorial service in honour of the students who had given their lives in World War II, the graduates were taken on a tour of the school. They seemed especially interested in the new addition, and as they saw the library where they thumbed through the old scrapbooks kept there, many envied us, saying, If we had only had this when we came to school. On Saturday evening the graduates tried to repay Mr. Forster for the part he played in starting them on the road to success. At the close of a wonderful eve¬ ning of dancing, the curtains on the stage were drawn back to reveal the members of the Board of Education standing next to a large placard which read “The John L. Forster Collegiate Institute. To add to Mr. Forster ' s great amazement, a beautiful television set was carried to the platform. These were merely material tokens of what each person present wished to say but could not. As Mr. Forster appeared on the stage, the old school rang with cheers and shouts of praise and approval. It was the one way these Spartans could express their thanks to a great man. But we too would like to echo these shouts of Well done! for he IS a jolly good fellow. Commencement...

It stood erect, proud of its prominent position, and thrusting out its chest proudly to the hurrying crowd. See me! it cried. See the sign on my chest! Come and see the all-new Jackson Classic-Jazz Concert! It ' s terrific, sensational! Buy your tickets now before the rush. All day it cried it wares to the busy city. Tired women with heavy burdens, young girls conscious of themselves, young men conscious of the young girls, small Hopalong Cassidys, worried brokers puffing vigorously on smoking pipe s—all these read the little sign. They saw its coat, gleaming white, its neat lettering. Perhaps feeling some of its happiness, they turned away smiling. The little billboard felt proud of its duty as herald of the coming production. Then one day, it overheard a conversation between the manager and the ticket-seller. I don ' t think, said the latter, that this billboard is showy enough. What do you think? It is a bit small . . . yes, a larger one would be better. Accordingly, the little sign was dumped rudely in an inconspicuous corner. To die here forgotten by those I was helping! it complained bitterly. Days passed, fading into weeks. Unnoticed and dejected, the little billboard sobbed in the lonely corner. Its bright lettering grew drab and its coat streaked with dust. Burdened with such misery, its shoulders slumped. Spiders spun their webs across its corners. Where are happy days and happy people? it cried. Will I ever see them again?” Suddenly a flash of light across its face broke the mournful lament. A young girl holding a flashlight peered curiously at it. Look, dad, she cried. See this old sign! Wouldn ' t it be nice to put it up in the lobby to welcome people? I can clean it up and repaint a smile on it. Please dad, may I? Happy at the kind words of the young girl, the little billboard allowed itself to be washed down and straightened up. Fitted out with a new clean white coat, it fairly burst its seams with pleasure. But the crowning glory came on the night of the premiere. Poised proudly on an attractive stand, the little billboard welcomed all who entered the theatre. Its joyous magnetism drew the people, filling their hearts with song. As the last lights dimmed and a few patrons strolled out comfortably happy, the little billboard, too, smiled sleepily. The show a success, his duty done, he nodded his head and fell asleep. Do what they liked with it, the little billboard would be happy in its memories. Wfncfsor Public Library Page Twenty “THE SPARTALOGUE” 19 5 3 THE GREEN NECKLACE Judy Steadman, 12A Eleven thirty! He sat there in the dark, thinking—thinking back to the night he had first met Arthur, trying—trying to remember how it had all really begun. It had been dark and raining heavily. He had stepped into a doorway while waiting for the streetcar, and there stood a boy of no more than seventeen. He was tall, slight, and very pale. He could be handsome had he a little more meat on his bones,” thought Alex. He remembered saying, Cold night isn ' t it? By the way, have you got a light? The boy had answered in no more than a mumble, but after a considerable amount of prying, Alex had succeeded in learning that the boy’s name was Arthur Johnson, that he was a stranger in the city, and that he was looking for a place to stay. Then something—he didn’t know quite what it was—had prompted him to say, How about staying at my place until you find one of your own? It ' s a dreadful night. He had taken the boy up to his two tiny rooms, and after they had eaten, the boy grew more confident, almost friendly. Arthur had stayed that night and many more. The weeks dragged by and Arthur had found no place of his own. Every boarding house was filled and a- hotel was out of the question. Finally Alex had said to him, Listen fellow, you can ' t find a place of your own, so why don ' t you stay with me? We ' ve hit it off just fine so far. In fact, I rather like the company. If was agreed that Arthur should stay and that was how it had been ever since—at least until he had met Kitty. He stood up and began to walk around the room. In the dark, he could see something glittering on the dresser. He picked it up and held it to the light. It was green and evil. There were dots of red in the green. Red, the colour of blood! The gold was tar¬ nished too. That cursed necklace! He flung it to the floor and sat down on the bed again. He thought back to the night he had taken Kitty to the movies. They had been walking home along the Avenue when suddenly she had stopped and said, Oh Alex, isn ' t it pretty?” He had only glanced at it. It was a necklace—a green one with tiny red lights in it. If lay there coiled in the red velvet like a small venomous snake. To him the necklace had been not at all pretty. Yet somehow it had been strangely fascinating. Oh Alex, buy it for me, please? she had pleaded. Come on Kitty. It ' s getting late. We ' d better get going. Why Alex you’re as snappy as an old turtle to¬ night. Won ' t you buy it for me? It really is so pretty. I always did look good in green. Please Alex. She had pleaded with him. Oh, how she had pleaded with him! And in the end, she had twisted him around her little finger. He had given in and told her that he would buy the necklace. At the time he had not known how he would get the money. Two hundred dollars was quite an amount to scrape up. Yet, some¬ how he would manage it. He had to. He could not let Kitty down. She was not the kind of girl that could be refused easily. Then one night the idea had come to him. It would be so easy—or so he had believed at the time. If he had only known! He looked at the clock—twenty minutes to twelve. Twenty minutes! Just twenty small minutes left! There was too little time. He remembered how he had planned it—every de¬ tail. He remembered the times he had spent the night pacing back and forth, back and forth before that jewellery store. Each time that evil green necklace seemed to draw him nearer. It fascinated him. Then one night as he returned he had met Arthur at the door. He remembered Arthur saying, Oh Alex, I know what you ' re up to. Let me help you. We’ve been friends for nearly two years. If you ' re really going through with it. I ' ll help you. He had protested, but Arthur had been insistent. To Arthur it had been a game and a joke. A joke! Cer¬ tainly, it was no joke now! Outside it was beginning to snow. Big white flakes were drifting down past the window. Along the Ave- (Continued on Page 44) “THE SPARTALOGUE 19 5 3 Page Twenty-One THE RACE Don MacLennan, 12B Sitting on the porch, Mr. and Mrs. Peters could hear the sound of sawing and ham¬ mering coming from the garage. The boy sure is busy. He makes the place sound like a carpenter shop, Mr. Peters commented. Yes, he does enjoy working with tools, agreed his wife. I wonder what he ' s build¬ ing today? We may find out. The hammering seems to have stopped. A moment later, young George Peters came coasting down the driveway in the new soap-box automobile he had just con¬ structed. He turned the wheel sharply at the sidewalk to avoid going into the street, skidded to a stop and looked up, beaming, at his parents. Isn ' t she a beaut? Bet I can go a hundred and sixty miles an hour in this old speed demon! Mrs. Peters gasped. To her the auto seemed hardly to be a beaut at all. It was built of scrap lumber and patched here and there with flattened tin cans. And it looked quite lopsided, for the two right side wheels were larger than the left side wheels. The wheels on the left had been taken from an old coaster wagon and the ones on the right came from an unusued baby buggy. - Mr. Peters gulped and grinned. Yes, she ' s a beaut, son, but couldn ' t you have found four wheels that matched? I used the wheels this way on purpose, declared George. And boy, if you think she ' s a beaut now, wait ' ll you see her after I get her all painted up. George turned his car around and started back to the garage, where a number of nearly empty paint cans of red, yellow, blue, green and orange awaited him. Meanwhile, on the porch, Mrs. Peters was saying, Heavens, Joe, we can ' t let our son be parading that junky contraption around the neighbourhood. It ' s dis¬ graceful. Why, everybody will think we’re either too cheap or too mean to get him proper toys. Well—oh—he seems to like it the way it is. But I get your point. Since he seems so very much interested in cars, I was planning to get him a snappy little blue number from the toy store for his birthday. It ' s got a real loud horn and lights that work on a battery and even the tail lights flash when you step on the brakes. Instead of waiting for his birthday. I’ll pick it up to¬ morrow. Then he ' ll forget abou t that junk heap he made. George ' s eyes lit up with great pleasure when he saw the smart little blue car. He thanked his mother and father fervently, then scooted around the block in his new car to show it to all his playmates. But, fifteen minutes later, Mrs. Peters was dismayed to see her son gliding out of the driveway once more, steering the lopsided hot rod of his own make, the junk heap. George was called into the house. Don ' t you like your new car? he was asked. Oh, sure. It ' s real keen! Then why aren ' t you using it? Oh, I ' ve got to practise up with good old Zero Three! Mrs. Peters then noticed that the soap-box car, in addition to having a paint job that resembled an un¬ tidy rainbow, was now also sporting two giant figures on the side— 03 . Before his startled parent could collect herself to ask any further questions, George was scooting down the driveway and along the sidewalk, heading for Simp¬ son ' s lot. It was Saturday. George came down from his room wearing a football helmet, shoulder pads and goggles. You ' re not going to wear goggles while playing foot¬ ball, I hope, said his father. Oh, I ' m not going to play football, said George. This is the day we ' re having the stock car races over on Simpson ' s lot. Stock car races? Well, that is interesting, said Mr. Peters. Are you entering with your new Blue Devil? Golly, no! exclaimed George. I wouldn ' t want to get that all scraped up. Besides, new cars aren ' t al¬ lowed. I ' m going to win, too! What ' s the prize for winning? Well, there are ten guys in the race and we each chipped in a penny so the winner will make himself a cool dime. We ' d better see this. Mother, said Mr. Peters. Get your hat.

In other words, Cana¬ dians live in the true democratic state. In order to make you understand why I choose to live in Canada, you must see the contrasting life of the country where tyrants rule over millions of enslaved people. This unfortunate country is Ukraine which along with many other states is suffering under Russian communist domination. I have lived in Ukraine, a beautiful country which Russians transformed into hell and called “paradise. There was a time in my country when the farmer was a free man. He was master of his own property, but now he is merely an unwilling slave on the collec¬ tive farm. Every day he must perform the menial tasks assigned him by the overseer. One work-day of 10 hours day labour is the measure of pay for the peasant. For one work-day, one receives 3 pounds of grain, mainly rye or barley, since the Ukrainian wheat is taken chiefly to Russia or exported to foreign countries, two pounds of potatoes, and 2 to 5 rubles in cash. But one must consider the value of the money; a blue serge suit of clothes costs from 700 to 800 rubles. All the farm workers get paid once a year, in the fall. No sooner has the worker brought home his treasure, than some member of the village council appears with the question; “How much ' surplus ' grain that you have beyond your needs, can you sell to the government? “Beyond my needs? answers the farmer, I don ' t know how I will pull through on what I have until next harvest!” The conversation usually ends with the peas¬ ant selling “of his own accord as much grain as the council had already consigned to him, according to orders from above. For anyone who refuses to sell, the door is quickly opened to Liberia. The Soviet regime has developed to the stage where a 20-minute lateness for work, except for some unusual reason or sickness, carries a penalty of one year ' s hard labour in concentration camp. I have never seen a Canadian punished so severely for being late for work. From the beginning of the Soviet regime millions of people have been exiled to slave labour camps in the forests of Liberia, where they are subjected to slow death. Some Canadians will ask: Who are these people and why are they there?” These people are peasants who refused to join the collective farms, manufacturers, merchants, and professionals. Their only “crime was love for the land they tilled and a desire for a better method of farming. The farmers who submitted to collective farms lost their whole property. The bound¬ aries between fields were ploughed under; all the horses, cattle, swine, and poultry were driven to the collective farms. Then each peasant was ordered to report to the state labour. The whole collectivization was enforced in the most brutal method. I think that no Canadian farmer would give his claim to his land and wealth for which he has worked so hard, and willingly submit to being a serf. The Soviet Union is held together by the terrorist grip of the NKVD, the political police, which uproots the least suspicion of opposition, punishes every word of criticism of the government, and forces the people to pray to Stalin and keep their mouths shut. As for elec¬ tions, they are merely for propaganda purposes. How can the people have any choice, when the party execu¬ tive has already selected its candidates and when there is only a single list of names? Such elections are called democratic by the communists from Moscow. You can see how fortunate I am to escape from behind the Iron Curtain, and live in Canada where the government is chosen by the citizens of Canada who, by voting, control the changes in the government and its actions. This I call the true democratic government. Here in Canada the communists, owners of good homes, autos, and other property work as spies and propagandists for Moscow. They work under the pro¬ tective wing of democracy for the overthrow of the very government which assures such freedom for all inhabi¬ tants of Canada. These people won ' t believe that in the Soviet Union the production plan provides just three socks and two-thirds of a yard of woollen goods for each person. Loyal Canadians who are concerned for their coun¬ try ' s welfare should rouse themselves to the menace of the communist fifth column and be on guard to defend their country against communism which under its entic¬ ing slogans of freedom and prosperity brings un¬ restricted police terror, poverty, and the domination of Moscow. After comparing the way my countrymen live, under Russian terror, with the life you enjoy here in Canada, you can see why I enjoy so greatly the freedom Canada offers me. MISSING No cross to mark his resting place, (Save that which in my heart I bear); No eyes to look on that loved face, No gentle hands to smooth his hair. At that dear head no stone will tell His name, to careless passers-by; Only the Sea intoned his knell, And sobbing Wind and weeping Sky. But God who walks the lonely deep. Brooding, watchful, (as in the past), Will gather him from this last sleep And bear him safely home at last. Judy Steadman, 12A.

Near the doors that opened out onto the balcony, he could see his city—his people—still asleep. This was the only time he felt really superior to them, when he could stand here and look out over their homes. It was strange how people thought a ruler or king was some¬ one sacred, intangible, someone you heard about, but never saw. He had always thought he was a strong person, leading his flock, as he thought of them, wisely. Now he realized that he was the one who wos subject —subject to them. As the warmth of the sun dispersed the early morning mist, the city cleared before the eyes of its governor. They were sharp eyes, shrewd ones, set in a naturally dark and inscrutable face. A big nose, in¬ herited from proved Roman ancestors, helped to com¬ plete his features. His chin was cleft and fitted into firmly set jaws that remained clamped when he was angry or thinking, as he was now. His face revealed determination, his body power. But he did not always appear a god of strength. There were times when he felt shaken—fearful—and this was one of them. He felt n aked before his conscience. Looking down into the empty streets, he knew that soon they would be jammed with the people. At first they would only mill about. Then the dis¬ contented grumblings would reach his ears. Later would come the shouts and perhaps even stones, for his people were a strong race, easily excited to anger and often fickle. His thoughts were prophetic. Not long afterwards, the crowd began to assemble. Time was running short; he must decide. If he had been a religious man, he might have turned elsewhere for help, but he was not so. Hearing the growing restlessness, he moved towards the doors and looked out to see soldiers mingling among the people. He hoped there would be no mob violence. However, he knew even soldiers were no match for an angry mob. It was this group who had put him in office as governor. To protect and please them was his duty; yet he still felt they were wrong in this matter. The witnesses had not been consistent. Some swore one thing, some another. Surely they could see there was no sound case against the man. A servant moved into the room. The crowd, sir, clamours for you to give them your decision. They grow wild. You will have to speak to them soon. Yes—yes I will, soon. First, bring me the prisoners. Soon they stood before him. One was rather small, gentle looking with eyes like calm waters, and in their light you felt peace. The other was big, not as big as the governor, but a big man with an ugly, evil face. He was the murderer and robber. The frenzied screams of the mob snapped the leader back to reality. He walked out onto the terrace and the prisoners stumbled after him, under the force of the guards. He spoke. I find no evil in this man.” He motioned to the quiet one. “I— But the crowd roared in unison its disapproval of his decision. He whispered to a nearby servant who then hurried away. How could he show them they were wrong? A few pebbles fell around him as a warning of how the crowd would react if he went against them. Yes, his people were a strong race, but right now they were a mob of hysterical, frenzied madmen, crying for blood. When the servant returned, he placed a bowl of water on the ledge of the balcony. Slowly dipping his hands into the water, the governor raised them dripping before the audience. “Behold, I am innocent of the blood of this just person, he cried. The multitude repeated its cry. When he saw that he had prevailed nothing, but rather had caused a tumult, he raised his still cleansed hands for silence and beckoned to the real criminal. It is the custom that I release unto you one at the passover. I give you Barabbas. He looked at the guards, a broken man. I find no fault in him, but you have heard the voice of the people. Crucify Him! And for the second time that day, Pontius Pilate felt the power of the people. The Beauty Parlour Betty Holdsworth, 13A The surest remedy I know for curing the “blues is a visit to the beauty parlour. Even now, as I push the gleaming glass doors open, my spirits begin to rise. My feet take wings on the soft-as-a-cloud carpet; soft strains of a Viennese waltz caress my ears; the scent of expensive cosmetics embraces me, and I am once more absorbed in the luxury of this house of beauty. A model of perfect grooming from his well-polished shoes to his sleek black hair is Monsieur Francois, the glorified male receptionist. He greets me in the charm¬ ing manner for which the French are famous. Assuring me that Marie, my special hairdresser, will come for me shortly, he asks me to wait. Sinking into the roomy, modernistic lounge, I glance about me. I see a second time the pictures of the models with their sculptured hair smiling down at me, and I grin in return, confident that soon my hair will gleam in a style as chic as theirs. Marie pert and petite in her crisp uniform beckons; we pass several other booths and soon reach her own small cubicle. A bouquet of colourful autumn flowers before me, green walls in a clear but not glaring light attend as the real beauty work is begun. A quick brushing reveals the true condition of my tresses and all its possibilities, a brief consultation, and then the scissors. Skilled hands sound “snip, snip , expertly shaping my new hair style; a last snip and every hair fits perfectly in this new creation. Now comes the shampoo, my favourite operation in the cure for a de¬ flated ego. Oh, how good it is to have my scalp rubbed and scrubbed until it tingles, to feel the spray of warm water and smell the refreshing odour of the shampoo-liquid! We return to my grooming chair be¬ fore the flowers for the next step, the setting.

Miss Gurney, suitably dressed for the occasion, led a rollicking singsong with her hearty voice. For nearly an hour the auditorium rang with such old favourites as Down By the Old Mill Stream and “I’ve Got A Lovely Bunch of Coconuts”. Miss Gurney and Miss Munnings instructed a large group of students in the basic steps of square dancing, and although there were few professionals, everyone managed splen¬ didly. We hope to have more square dances in the near future. Students who helped make the Hallowe’en Party a real success were Jackie Welch. Ethel Mercer, Stan Drabek. Don MacLennan and Joyce Wells. The Spartalogue staff wishes to thank the committee for providing the student body with an evening of wholesome fun. Football Formal — December 19, 1952 Soft lights illuminating the auditorium, a cascade of red and white streamers hang¬ ing from a silver star suspended from the centre of the ceiling, a gaily decorated Christmas tree standing on the stage, and a background of tiny musical notes glittering from the green curtain—all contributed to a festive atmosphere for the annual Foot¬ ball Formal. Multicoloured balloons, bright posters, and a huge goal post bearing the name of each player on our “1952 Football Team”, completed the decorations. The dance committee, under the able direction of Mr. Whetstone, was responsible for all the arrangements connected with the dance. Committee members dancing to the strains of Bill Richardson s Orchestra were John Cleminson. convener, there with Carol Patterson who looked charming in a gown of white tulle; Tom Yates escorting Shirley Borshuek—Shirley wore a gown of lavender net over taffetta.

Not to be outdone by a band of swashbuckling rogues, General Stanley ' s lovely daughters caused many a male heart to flutter as Forster students pre¬ sented Gilbert and Sullivan ' s Pirates of Penzance to capacity audiences. Excellent work by chorus and leads resulted in another very successful operetta. Throughout all three performances, the chorus work was excellent. The audience seemed especially to enjoy the beautiful number Hail Poetry . The acting of the cast was enjoyable and entertaining and boys ' and girls ' choral work was certainly a credit to Miss Scan¬ lon ' s capable direction. As usual, the leads carried out their roles with the ease and assurance of professionals. Our leading lady, Annelle Chappus, playing the part of the lovable Mabel, won the heart of not only the handsome pirate, Frederick, but also the hearts of her audience. David Marsden, who played the part of Frederick, did an especially fine job. Alan Mills took the part of the pompous Major- General whose sole remaining joy in life was his daughters, numbering almost forty. He won the sym¬ pathy of the Pirate King, excellently portrayed by Bill Kerr, and his lieutenant, Samuel, with his song “Oh, Men of Dark and Dismal Fate. The part of Samuel was played by Gordon Kirk on Wednesday and Friday nights and by Frank Robinson on Thursday night. Both boys should be complimented on their fine performance. The part of Ruth, the Pirati¬ cal Maid-of-all-Work, was ably portrayed by Sandra Mandzuk. Sandra, as you know, is a grade nine student and we hope to see more of her in the future. Bob Ord, in the role of the Sergeant of Police, led his force of dauntless (or almost dauntless) policemen in the rousing chorus, A Policeman ' s lot is Not a Happy One . The precision of these men in blue, their hearty singing, and the amusing antics of Harry Fiddler won for them roars of thunderous applause. Major-General Stanley ' s three vivacious daughters, played by Carol Ann Stephenson, Elizabeth McLister, and Judy Steadman, delighted the audience. The fine work of Dawn Campbell, our accompanist, must not be overlooked. As a new feature this year, two pianos were used. Mrs. Lasse Pahjola, who regu¬ larly accompanies the Windsor Light Opera Company, was the other pianist. Dawn should be especially com¬ mended on her fine performance because, as you know, it would fake many hours of hard practice to be able to keep up with Mrs. Pahjola ' s flying fingers. It is impossible for us to express our thanks to every¬ one who assisted in producing this excellent operetta, but special recognition should be given to Miss Weller who kept things running smoothly backstage; to Miss Grant, who with the help of Ellen Welsh, Gail Morris, Lorraine Courtin, Shirley James and Freda Pylypiw, took over the task of costuming the whole cast; and to the make-up committee including Mrs. DeFields—a faithful worker each year since the first operetta—Mrs. Haeber- lin, and the teachers and students who helped with make-up. We congratulate Archie Dease and Ron Wilson who were responsible for the fine lighting and all those who worked backstage to make the operetta a success. Last but certainly not least, we would all like to thank Miss Scanlan and worn her that she had better have a long rest because we are all waiting for another wonderful operetta in the very near future.

C. I. platform. Their speeches, a result of hours of preparation were very interesting and informative. Senior Boys Doug Paton of 11B received top honours in the senior boys ' contest with an excellent address on A Vacation on the Moon”. His impromptu, entitled Civil Defence outlined the necessities of the defence of our country. Congratulations Doug. Richard Randell of 1 1 B, second place winner, opened our eyes to some important facts about Joseph Stalin . His impromptu dealt with the Values of Rivers . Michael Moore, also of 1 1B, placed third with a wonderful account of a renowned and outstanding Canadian, Jack Miner . Senior Girls In the senior girls ' division we congratulate Margaret Carson of 1 1B who took top place with a splendidly informative speech on Air Pollution and Its Effects . Second place in this division went to Mary Kamen of 12B whose speech on “Law was very interesting as well as educational. Third place went to Judy Kidd of 11B with an informative speech on the life of our be¬ loved late king, King George VI . Junior Boys Ronald Fleming of I OB earned first place in the junior boys ' contest with his fine speech on Jet Pro¬ pulsion . His impromptu described in detail A Trip I Took . Jack Wayne, whose speech on Photography con¬ tained many interesting details, was a close second. Bob Quick of 9E placed third by relating his own experiences on Camping Out in his speech. Junior Girls As usual, the keenest competition was provided by the Junior girls ' division. Their interest and enthusiasm are very heartening and certainly a challenge to the older students in the school. The winner of the junior girls ' contest was Phyllis Smith of 10D with an inspiring speech on Sister Kenny . In her impromptu she fold us of her interesting trip to British Columbia. Phyllis ' good voice and poise were greatly responsible for her victory. Second place was won by Catherine White of 9B who gave us an excellent account of the Hobbies of Famous People . Her impromptu dealt with Trans¬ portation in the Past and Present . Elizabeth Ord of 9A took third place with an inspiring speech on Tal¬ ented Canadians . The calibre of the speeches given by the juniors was unusually high. Their clear thinking, general knowledge, and mastery of our language were clearly revealed in their impromptus. Other contestants deserving credit for their fine speeches are Claire Renaud, Carol Anderson, Deanna Girard, Doreen Dwyer, Rosabelle Veighey, Heidi Greiser, Delores Doyle, and Doreen Wells. “THE SPARTALOGUE — DRAMA Miss Weller and her group began a series of success¬ ful performances at the Commencement exercises. The play Bab Goes Dramatic was presented by the students with Bob Wade as the student director. The play is an amusing tale of a group of poison pen letters which were mailed and the complications which resulted. As a Christm as send-off, we were again privileged in watching two other excellent plays. TenvA presented a play called Home to Mother with John Sparling and Gail Parker taking the leading roles. 12B also entertained us with a performance of Pop Reads the Christmas Carol . The play tells the story of a father whose impossible task it is to try to get the whole family sitting down at once to listen to him read the Christmas Carol. He fails in his attempt, but his efforts to read the Carol make an amusing story. The Commercial form presented two fine plays for the school ' s enjoyment. Their first play, “Every Hus¬ band , with Joyce Wells as student director, is an amusing tale of a group of wives who believe their husbands should attend their meetings but whose hus¬ bands don ' t agree. Their second play, Welcoming the New Minister , with Gail Morris as student director, tells the story of a group of ladies who feel that it is up to them to make sure that the life of the town carries on and especially that the new minister is welcomed in the proper way. The drama group gave a good number of successful performances which were enjoyed equally by the audi¬ ence and the performers. CHRISTIAN FELLOWSHIP It is encouraging to see the steady increase in attendance at the Christian Fellowship meetings held in Miss Graham ' s room every Tuesday. The Christian Fel¬ lowship group at Forster is part of a nation-wide school organization whose purpose is to present the Christian faith to every student throughout Canada and the world. Our fellowship meetings are centred around prayer, Bible study, hymn singing and visits from interesting speakers. A wiener roast, Hallowe ' en party, skating party, and a week-end conference are highlights of the socials enjoyed by the members this year. An even better time is being looked forward to next year. Sweater Swing—April 17, 1952 (Concluded from Page 25) For the most successful event of the year, the annual Sweater Swing, red and white decorations transformed the school auditorium into a gay ballroom. The committee in charge is to be congratulated for planning a very enjoyable evening. Members of the committee seen dancing to Bill Rich¬ ardson ' s music were Ethel Mercer with Stan Drabek, Anne Haeberlin with Ben Harrison, Don MacLennan who escort¬ ed Lorraine Baronowski, Dick Howitt with Gail Morris. Ken Bottoms with Ethel Gillett, Joyce Crew, Shirley Bur¬ nett. and Ross Archibald. Towards the end of the evening, the crowning of the Sweater Queen and Swing King took place. Donna Cun¬ ningham, escorted to the dance by Bob Hamilton, was chosen by the student body as Queen, and Allan Mills, who accompanied Mavis McCuaig, was elected King. Donna and Allan received glittering crowns which they will keep as mementos of their victory. “THE SPARTALOGUE 19 5 3 Page Thirty-One OFFICERS’ CORPS Front Row: Sergeant Major Payne, Don MacLennan, John Cleminson, Jim Oliver, Doug Paton.

CADETS 1952 Inspection The annual Cadet Inspection offers parents and friends on oppor¬ tunity of viewing the various phases of cadet training. The 1952 inspection took place on the F. C. I. campus last May. It was highly successful and showed a marked improvement over the previous year. Under the supervision of Commanding Officer Warren Dawson and Major Hugh Robertson, who was second in command, the corps presented a smart performance. A” Company led by Major Don Bradley displayed their proficiency in company drill. The spectators especially enjoyed the realistic Bren gun demonstration supervised by Jack Blinston and the First Aid demonstration conducted by Lieutenant Jim Oliver. Lieutenant Oliver and the First Aid Section of the corps illustrated a new method of artificial respiration known as the Nielson Method. The inspecting officers. Major F. C. Darton and Lieutenant W. H. McKechnie, praised the boys and their cadet instructors for their fine work. The Band A great deal of the success of the inspection must be attributed to our excellent bugle band. Under the leadership of Drum Mojor Boyer, the band performed with an ease and precision which were the result of many months of hard practice. Mr. Welsh certainly deserves credit for producing a band of such a high degree of excellence. Signal Corps Cadet Signal classes got under way in the second week of September and will be completed before the middle of Msy. The reward for those boys who obtain a certificate in Wireless Signalling is twenty dollars. What boy would not like to be paid for partici pating in such an activityl Last spring, the boys took their equipment to the country, to Michael Moore ' s home. Here, the signallers spent an enjoyable day operating the equipment according to a planned scheme. Certainly, programmes such as this bring enjoyable os well as profitable returns. Shooting Many students are availing themselves of the facilities provided by the new rifle range. Ninety per cent of the boys have success¬ fully passed their annual test, many having qualified for the Crossed Rifles and Crown. Opportunities for recreational shooting were available and eighty boys participated in the programme. Eighteen badges have been won to date. In the fall, the F. C. I. team placed twentieth in the Ontario Rifle Association Competition. In the D. C. R. A. competition our first team averaged a score of ninety-four per cent, on increase of six per cent over last year ' s score. Ken Bottoms will receive the award for the highest average score in the school. The highest individual score was made by Don Williams with a score of ninety-nine in the second shoot. An Interform Shooting Competition was held for the first time this year. Grade 10B captained by Terry Henry won the shield. Other members of the team were Eddie Hopps, Ron Fleming, Richard Jacobsen and Gary Tucker. Money prizes for perfect scores were won by Terry Henry and Noman Hougan. Summer Camp at Ipperwash Last June approximately twelve boys from Forster Collegiate left Windsor, to begin seven weeks of military instruction at Camp Ipper- wosh. Peter Masson, Doug Paton, Bill Johnston, Bob Hamilton, John Hope and Dave Rudkin all qualified as senior leaders. Bruce Mc¬ Lagan and Jim Caffray took the Driver Mechanic ' s course and Frank Dietzel and Gary Newman entered the wireless Operator’s course and Gerry Howatt the Wireless Procedure. Operator ' s Course Camp life was not all work. It also included swimming, baseball, football and those much-talked-about trips to Grand Bend. No wonder these boys are looking forward to another summer in campl YEAH SPARTANS! Rhyming couplets were on the tongues of the Spirited Spartans” last January as the majority of the school participated actively in the Cheer Contest sponsored by the Spartalogue. You kept the judges busy by submitting no less than one hundred and eighty-two cheers. Twelve B claimed the box of chocolates by composing forty-eight cheers. Runners-up were Eleven B with forty cheers and Nine B with thirty. This, we are proud to say. is School Spirit! Now for the news you ' ve been waiting for!

Spirts were high and races close as we enjoyed the first afternoon of outdoor activity. New records were set in all leagues. In the Senior Division—Martha Elliott jumped 4 ’ 9% in the high jump and completed the 75 yd. dash in 8.8 seconds. In the Intermediate Girls ' event, Betty Hanson surpassed the old baseball record by 20 ft. with a throw of 177 ' 7 . Nancy Weir tied the 75 yd. dash of 9.3 seconds, while Nancy Bowen jumped 4 ' 5 in the high jump. City Meet The junior girls, as usual, excelled at the W.S.S.A. meet by capturing the Mayor Reaume Trophy for the second consecutive year. The Junior champion of Fors¬ ter ' s annual meet, June Albrough, set a new city record in the girls’ baseball throw by heaving the ball 172 ' 13 . Deanne Whiteside placed third in both the high jump and standing broad while Nancy Weir took second place in the 75 yd. dash and 4th in the running broad. In the Intermediate Division, Betty Hanson set a new city record of 196 ' 1 in the baseball throw. The Seniors were outstanding in their performance. Martha Elliott, paced by Ella Eberwein, brought home the Joan Mary Gatfield Memorial Trophy for the fourth consecutive year. The Mayor Croll Trophy was taken out of competition as it was awarded to Forster C. I. for having won it 1 1 times out of 20. Martha “Punchy Elliott won the W.S.S.A. Senior Individual Championship for the second consecutive year with twenty points, while Ella Eberwein, her runner-up, had 12 points. All three of Forster ' s relay teams walked away with the 300 yd. relay. Boys Larry Bennett June Albrough Bob Ord Anne Haeberlin Dick Howitt Martha Elliott Ken Bottoms Boys After much keen competition in all divisions at our own interform meet last May, Forster sent a well- qualified team to the W.S.S.A. track meet. The team placed third with an aggregate score of 69 points. Outstanding competition was offered by the Juvenile team which carried away the Juvenile Cham¬ pionship. The team was sparked by Larry Bennett who won the Individual Championship by scoring fifteen points by getting a first in the broad jump, a first in the hop-step-and-jump, a second in the seventy-five yard dash and a third in the high jump. The Juniors placed fourth in their division and were led by Bob Ord who placed third in the 100 and 220 yd. races and Gary Tucker who showed excellent form in placing second in the pole vault and fourth in the 120 yard low hurdles. The Intermediates were led by Dick Howitt who earned a second in the Javelin Throw, and Albert Am- bedian and Gary Parker who gained a third in the pole vault and hop-step-and jump, respectively. The Seniors were paced by Ken Bottoms who heaved the discus 115 feet 11 inches to earn first place in this event and set a new W.S.S.A. record. Ken also won third place in the 120 yard hurdles and the high jump. Also displaying great winning ability were Don Smith with a second in the pole vault and a third in the 440, Dave McCuaig with third in the mile and a fourth in the high jump, and George Sutton who placed second in the Javelin Throw. An international flavour has been added to our com¬ petition by Mr. Whetstone. Last year, Forster united with Patterson C. I. to form a track team which com¬ peted in a meet at Cranbrook, Michigan. This spring Mr. Whetstone plans to organize our own track team and thus begin an annual tri-school meet. GOLF TEAM (left to right): Morris Paliwada, Ken Young.

FOOTBALL INTRAMURAL LEAGUE This season, many fine players were developed in the intramural league. These boys should prove to bolster next year ' s senior team. Linder the supervision of Mr. Brown, five teams were organized—George Mahler ' s ' ' Jets , Richard Jackson ' s Wee-Ones , Jerry Cottanach ' s Slo-Mo-Shuns , Ron Ferchuck ' s “Royals and Dave Marsden ' s Spartans . Each of these five teams competed keenly throughout the schedule. The first few games were held on the Jets on to greater efforts; for the Wee-Ones, Ross Jacobson, Harry Todd and Leon Paroian displayed spirit and sportsmanship; Jerry Cattanach, Gary Parker and Gary Tucker showed great ability in their games for the Slo-Mo-Shuns; sparking the runners-up were Dave Marsden, Bert Macdonald, and Ken Williams; and leading the way to victory and the championship were Ron Ferchuck, Chuck O ' Hora, Tom Yates and Fred Todman of the Royals. INTERCOLLEGIATE FOOTBALL new boll field on the campus. The Royals ended with a perfect seoson of four wins and no setbacks. In second place were the Spartans sporting a 3-1 record, and following these two teams were the Slo-Mo-Shuns, Jets and Wee-Ones with 2-2, 1-3, 0-4 records respectively. The Spartans and the Slo-Mo-Shuns fought in the semi-finals and reached a ten-ten tie when the game was halted because of darkness. However, since the Spartans ended the regular schedule ahead of the Slo- Mo-Shuns, they were given the privilege of going on to the finals. In the finals, the Royals were crowned Champs after defeating the courageous Spartans 12-10. Each team, of course, had its outstanding players. George Mahler, Gordie Kirk, and Bill Karpiuck led their Under the expert tutelage of Mr. Steadman and Mr. Krol, the boys prepored for the approaching season by attending regular practices at Prince Road Park. In the Pigskin Preview”, we held the reputedly strong Voca¬ tional team to a scoreless tie. The following week, the regular schedule began. Our boys, plagued by several inopportune injuries, fought hard and long, but the big powerful teams from Kennedy, Patterson and Assumption capitalized on any mishaps that occurred, thus keeping the Spartans win¬ less. At this time, the school name was changed and the team went out onto the gridiron with renewed spirit. Despite superior playing ability, we were held to a seven-seven tie by Walkerville and a six-six tie by the (Continued on Page 37) ‘■THE SPARTALOGUE” 19 5 3 Page Thirty-Seven INTERCOLLEGE FOOTBALL . . . (Continued from Page 36) Roughriders. However, we were edged out of the playoffs and the football season was over for Forster. The team, which improved as the weeks went by, was sparked by Ken Poops” Bottoms. Ken received his due recognition when he was named to the All-City Team. Supporting Ken in the backfield were Albert Ambedian, Dick Howitt, Jerry Weingarden and Richard Dungy. This season, Forster Collegiate had one of the best lines in years. It included Rip Drabek, Jim Oliver, Don MacLennan, Ross Archibald and Lome Squirt Willis. It is expected that Forster Collegiate will have an excellent team next year with such veterans as Archi¬ bald, Thomson, Howitt, and Meyers returning and with the coming of such promising rookies as Dave Johnson and Doug Carr. HOCKEY Early in November, o group of anxious and ambitious young fellows gathered at the Windsor Arena at seven in the morning. This was the beginning of Forster ' s practices which lasted until late in February. At these weekly practices the boys showed a great deal of en¬ thusiasm and gained very valuable experience. Of the thirty who first appeared, fifteen boys were chosen as members of the Spartan team. Although winless throughout the season, our Spartans again showed their great fighting spirit. Commendable performances were turned in by Bob Ord, Lome Willis, Albert Ambedian, Richard Howitt and the up-and-coming first-former Dave Johnson. Worthy services were rendered by Frank Dietzel, time keeper, and Doug Paton, the team man¬ ager. Other helpers were Mike and David Moore, and Jon DeLaurier. Forster has the makings of a very good Hockey team for next year. Plans are already in the making to ensure hockey success for Forster C.l. next year. SWIMMING Forster Collegiate submitted only a Junior Girls ' team in the annual Secondary School swimming meet held at Kennedy Collegiate. The Spartan lassies gave a very creditable performance. Margaret Carson, who was the leading contestant from our school, was runner-up for the Junior Individual championship. She won a first in diving and a second in the breast stroke. Sandra Mc- Leay took a third in style swimming and a fifth in the breast stroke while Carol Ann Stephenson won fourth place in the free style. Our Junior and Grade Ten relay teams won third place in their competition while our Grade Nine relay team came first only to be disqualified for crossing lines.

To accommodate all those who wished to participate. Miss Gurney drew up a double schedule, thus enabling the students to play over one hundred games during the season. Such keen interest in the interform games is a definite factor in the constant success of our school teams. Junior Team The Junior Girls again proved to Windsor that they are THE championship team by going through the season without a single defeat. They overcame their toughest competition easily by defeating Walkerville 22-15 and Tech 16-9. Other games were won even more decisively. The Junior team produced several promising athletes —from Grade 9, Karel Cattanach and Eileen McKett- rick, and from Grade 10, Nancy Weir, Gail Parker and Joyce Beluk. Senior Team The Senior Girls started out with a bang, winning by a large score as they ovecame an inexperienced St. Joseph’s squad by 46-14. Next, they defeated Walker¬ ville by 27-25 in a very exciting game, and then Pat¬ terson by 37-27. Meeting very stiff competition, they were defeated by the superb Vocational team. The score in this game was 32-21. Since both Forster and Vocational ended the season with four victories and one defeat, a sudden-death game was played to determine the city championship. Vocational girls earned their way to the W.O.S.S.A. playdowns by defeating our girls a second time. The Forster squad was sparked by such veterans as Jackie Welch, Ethel Mercer, Anne Haeberlin, Caro Armstrong, Betty Hansen, and Helen Lockiek. All these girls displayed qualities of leadership by supervising the interform games in the gym. Interform Volleyball This year ' s interform volleyball teams saw a great deal of action and clean sport. The senior league which includes grades eleven, twelve, and thirteen, provided endless excitement and suspense with its keen competition. In the semi-finals, 12B played 1 1A and 12A played commercial. Com¬ mercial went on in the finals to capture the pennant by overthrowing 1 2B. The grade ten league competition was also very keen. Ten B finished on top at the end of the regular season. They eliminated 10C and 10D eliminated 10A in a two-game semi-final series. Ten D went on to win the pennant by defeating 10B in a final two-game series. In the grade nine league, 9D, captained by Elizabeth Hansen, won the pennant. Their coaches, Anne Johns¬ ton and Mavis McCuaig, deserve a great deal of credit for their untiring help. GOLF The 1952 Forster golf team proved to be one of the best we have had in many years. With seven teams competing, Forster finished second to Lowe Vocational in the W. S. S. A. tournament held at the Roseland Golf Course last September 26. Low man on the Spartan squad was John Duda with an 84, followed closely by Morris Paliwada with an 85. Other creditable per¬ formances were turned in by Ron Blinston and Bill Mc- Sephney, both carding 96 ' s, for a team total of 360. Fifth man on the team was Walt Paraschak who shot a 99. BOYS ' BASKETBALL SENIOR TEAM Under the expert coaching of Mr. Krol, Forster de¬ veloped a fine senior Team. Their record of 2-10 does not give a true picture of the improved calibre of the team. This year, unlike last, the Spartans afforded other teams very close competition. With another year of experience our boys should be able to win the games which they lost by so small a margin this year. Ken Bottoms was the leading scorer on the team as well as a hard-working spark plug. His ability was recognized when he was named to the second string on the All-city Team. Giving excellent support to Ken were Jim Oliver, Dick Dungy, Gordie Kirk and Alan Mills. With four of the five regulars returning next year, Forster should have an excellent team. JUNIOR TEAM Although our Juniors fought gamely throughout the season, they were not able to hold back the powerful teams from the other collegiates. We hope that they will have better luck next year. Leading the team were Bob Hamilton, Doug Carr, Gary Tucker, Bill Johnson and Dave Marsden. Mr. Courtney, the coach, sees a bright future for the Juniors and is relying on the players developed in the Junior B ' s to take the place of those leaving the team. BOYS’ INTERFORM BASKETBALL There were over one hundred and fifteen games played in the leagues this year, and the students were treated to some very good basketball in both divisions. The good showing of the nines and tens plus the championship effort of the Junior B ' s in the senior league promise much for the future basketball teams of F. C. I. Ken Bottoms, Jim Oliver, and Bill Butterfield deserve a special vote of thanks for handling the leagues so capably. Thanks also go to all the boys who refereed and timed the games, helping make this one of the best interform seasons ever. Final standings in the Senior League found 1 3A and the Junior B ' s tied for first place followed by 12B, 1 IB, 12A, 11D and 11 A. In the semi-finals, 12B defeated 11B and the Junior B ' s defeated 11B. In the final con¬ test, the Jr. B ' s defeated 12B to win the championship. However, since the Junior B ' s team is made up of boys from Grades 9 and 10, the pennant was awarded to 12B. Leading scorers in the Senior League were Ed Thom¬ son, Bob Wade, Bill Pegler, and Harry Fiddler. In the Junior League, at the end of the schedule 10B finished in first place. The remaining seven berths were occupied by 10D, 10A, 9A, 9B, 9D, 9E, and 9C re¬ spectively. In the semi-finals 10B defeated 10A while 10D defeated 9A. 10B won the pennant by beating out 10D in the final. The league ' s leading scorer was Fred Todman of 10B with well over one hundred and twenty points. Other top point getters were Dave and Jim Johnston, Morris Poliwoda and John Duda. ,H0 V Q JUNIOR BOYS ' BASKETBALL Leon Paroian, Bob Hamilton, Dave Marsden.

GIRLS’ BASKETBALL Intercollegiate Under the fine coaching of Miss Gurney and Miss Munnings, the girls’ basketball team displayed excel¬ lent playing ability in spite of the fact that it was com¬ posed of all fairly new and inexperienced players. They began the season by trouncing the St. Jo. squad by the score of 64-1. The next contest, although closely matched, proved to be the first and only defeat that the Spartans tasted. In the following games, their true form was shown as they successfully overthrew their opponents in six games and tied two. The closing of the season revealed the Spartans to be in possession of second place—a scant point behind the Pantherettes. High scorer with 133 points was Phyllis Klein. Next in line came Deanne Whiteside with 61, followed closely by rookie star Karel Cattanach with 60, and Mavis McCuaig with 50. The experience and fine play¬ ing of the guard line headed by the captain, Jackie Welch, and Ethel Mercer, Anne Haeberlin and Caro Armstrong contributed greatly to the team’s success. Interform Another very successful season was completed by the girls ' Interform League after numerous games from the beginning of January to the end of April. With each form playing at least eight games, all the girls saw a good amount of action. Since this was the first season of organized basket¬ ball for most of the grade niners, each form was coached by two seniors. The coaches, Caro Armstrong, Phyllis Klein, Anne Haeberlin, Marilyn Hughes, Jill Armstrong, Evelyn Crowder, Joanne Caton, Mavis Mc¬ Cuaig, Jean Clark and Deanne Whiteside, deserve a great deal of credit for their voluntary assistance. Nine D, captained by Joyce Cummings, and coached by Mavis McCuaig and Joanne Caton captured the pen¬ nant by defeating 9A in a two-game final series. In the grade ten league, 10B went through the season undefeated and topped 10D in the finals to carry away the championship. The senior league competion was exceptionally keen. At the end of the regular season 1 2B and 1 2A ended in a tie for first place each winning seven and losing two games. In the finals 11A defeated 12B to secure their pennant. Page Forty-Four 19 5 3 The Green Necklace... (Concluded from Page 20) nue the street lamps twinkled out a cheery greeting. Only the distant whistle of a tug lost somewhere on the foggy Sound broke the silence. Snowflakes, lights, and loneliness— Why tonight is very much like that one, thought Alex. Yes, it had been snowing then. They had stood in a doorway across from the shop and watched the lights go out one by one until it was completely dark except for the dim light in the window. They had watched the shopkeeper come out, lock his door and start for home. Then, he had said to Arthur, Well fellow, are you ready? The boy ' s face had been white and tense but how his eyes had shone! Here was excitement! Yes Alex, you know you can count on me. Crash One blow and the window had broken into a million tiny particles. He could not remember what it was that made him do it—perhaps it had been the sound of broken glass, perhaps it had been fear—but instead of taking the necklace and running he had just stood there and stared—stared at the necklace, at the broken glass, and at Arthur who had stood there white- faced gazing at the blood dripping from his hand. The sound of a man running nearby had awakened him out of his daze. He had snatched the necklace and begun to run, but hearing a shout he had stopped. At the end of the street, he had seen Arthur standing over a man ' s body—a policeman—and the man did not move! He was tired now, very tired. He sank down onto the bed and lit a cigarette. Five to twelve! So very little time! Oh yes, there had been a trial. It had been very short. Arthur had been caught, but he had not ad¬ mitted that he had had an accomplice. Nothing had been proved against him. Of course not, or why would he be sitting here? But Arthur was a murderer! He thought about this for a moment. Yes, no matter how you twisted the facts about, Arthur was a murderer. At least that was what the court had decided. But was he really? They would be leading the boy out of his cell now, taking him toward fhe gallows. Alex arose and walked to the window. He wondered if Arthur would be fright¬ ened. He did not want him to be afraid. He pushed open the window and stared out over the town. A cool breeze rushed past him and into the room. Just one minute to go! Someone, perhaps his mother, had told him once that there was a life after death. He wanted to be there when Arthur arrived. He wanted to comfort him. He must hurry! He stepped onto fhe sill, paused, and leaped. The town was very still. A light snow was falling and the clock on the city hall struck twelve. “THE SPARTALOGUE — The Race... (Concluded from Page 21) Simpson ' s lot had a hard clay surface with practic¬ ally no grass, weeds or other vegetation. It was the place where the boys gathered to play baseball and football, fly kites, play marbles, run races, etc. On this Saturday morning an oval course had been marked out. Ten soap-box cars, each trying to outdo the rest for gaudy colours, were awaiting the starter’s signal. Mr. Peters noticed that George was notjhe only boy with a lopsided car. The race started. Young George got off to a good lead, but seemed to have trouble steering. His car wobbled off at the second turn and crashed into a box on which a young spectator was sitting. George just backed away and got back into the race. He tried to scoot between two cars, was bottled up, and fell on his side. He picked himself up and started again, this time dead last. Throughout the race there was the sound of crack¬ ing, smashing and whacking. When they entered the last lap, George had a slight lead again, but when he was only a few yards from the finish line, a wheel fell off the 0-3 and the car nosed over. Climbing out of the wreckage George manoeuvred the car across the finish line on three wheels, but there were four racers ahead of him. Later, George ' s father complimented him. “You put on a nice race, son. Tough luck that you last. Oh, but I didn ' t—I won, said George, displaying ten pennies, proudly. You see, the rule is—it ' s not who finishes first! It ' s the one who has the most wrecks and still finishes at all! The Beauty Parlor... (Concluded from Page 23) I watch and appraise her deft fingers as the beautician winds, strokes and presses my hair into its new mode. Marie coaxes the last curl into place and I leave her studio and go the way of all beauty parlour patrons— to the dryers. This room is with its silver domes and huge picture window the real core of the beauty parlour. Here is a place for gossiping, reading, eating your lunch or simply relaxing. As I look around, I see women from every walk of life; beside the window two smartly- dressed stenographers eat their lunch; a dignified elderly matron is having a manicure; a tall, sharp¬ nosed woman leans over to chat with her fat, jolly companion. Monsieur Francois is serving tea and I gladly accept one of the pretty china cups. Choosing a magazine from one of the many popular ones here is a real luxury to me; it is not often one finds such quantity of excel¬ lent ones. Reading and looking out of the window at the people on the street, time passes quickly; my hair dries and Marie awaits me. In her booth again, Marie brushes my dry locks out of their tight set, persuading them into waves and curls. She fluffs hair out here and pats it down there. Beam¬ ing at her handiwork she places the mirror in my hand declaring Mademoiselle ' s hair is beautiful, is it not ? Oh yes, I am very thrilled with my new hair-cut. As the glass door swings shut behind me, we are ready to conquer the world—my new hair-do and I. “THE SPARTALOGUE ’ ’ 19 5 3 Page Forty-Five THE WOOL SHOP Windsor ' s Most Complete Stocl{ !j! ? o $ | BEEHIVE TAKHS | £ 144 LONDON ST.
