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. SHIRLEY BURNETT AND MIRIAM DRYDEN.
