EAST WINDSOR, ONT. l. _ ± THE SPARTALOGUE — 1957 Page Five Forster Collegiate 1957 XTINETEEN hundred and fifty-seven will long be remembered as a year of progress and improvement at J. L. Forster Collegiate. School spirit has reached a new high, teams have improved, and scholarships are increasing. Even the school building itself now greets us with a proud new face as a result of the extensive redecoration program completed this winter. Most impressive, as one enters the school, is the auditorium. The grey- blue ceiling and pillars enhance the beauty of the new cyclorama curtains which so proudly adorn the stage. Refreshing pastel colours on the walls in each classroom have lifted us out of the doldrums that had bogged us down in the past. Practical new cabinets and shelves have replaced dilapidated old cupboards. In the newly-decorated gymnasium, there is not only a new floor but also a new electric scoreboard. Yes, Forster C. I. is still marching forward. Once again, after only seven years, the walls of our school must expand. We look forward to the addition of eight rooms in the fall of this year, for it means more teachers, more students, more friends, and greater achievements as the Spartan spirit marches on. t SPARTALOGUE STAFF FIRST ROW (Left to right) Carole Burrell, Marylou Richards, Ann Rutherford, Gail Casey, Diane Mcars.

Spartalogue 1957 F ROM the lips of my eighth-grade teacher on graduation night came words which I have found especially inspiring. He said, “Success is the ultimate reward of preparation, meditation and dedication.” In adopting this creed, I find its message true in every phase of life, even to life itself. A worthy goal can be honestly achieved by conscientious preparation, silent meditation, and complete dedication. Indeed, this motto can be applied from the fulfilment of daily menial tasks to the realization of God’s master plan. And so it is with this yearbook. The preparation of this yearbook has entailed long hours of hard, sometimes discouraging, but al¬ ways gratifying labour. Our very capable advisory editors, Miss Scarfone and Miss Laithwaite, deserve praise from all the students—not only from us whose blood is half ink, but also from the readers who may just care to gloss over our endeavours. A mere “thank you” is insufficient in summarizing our great esteem. There is also instilled in this yearbook a host of silent prayers. On each page is the work of many, and to all those who participated, we give heartfelt thanks. We are indebted to the English department for submitting stories and poems for the literary pages, to Miss Gurney for help in photography, and to the generous senior commercial students who typed all the articles appearing in the Spartalogue. We ask you to patronize our advertisers, whose generosity and interest have been an inspiration to us. As you view the product of our “preparation, meditation, and dedication”, we trust you will feel that we have, in some small measure, achieved success. And now we dedicate the 1957 Spartalogue to you, our reader. Gail Casey—Editor. FORSTER COLLEGIATE STAFF FIRST ROW (Left to right): Miss Mannings. Miss Philpot, Mr. Whetstone.

The class of 1956 won two of the finest scholarships ever awarded to Forster students. I know the happy winners would be first to accord credit to the co-operation and competition of their classmates. Would not the class of 1957 agree that the splendid efforts of a few are not enough, that each is helped or hindered by the others, that just as natural growth is dependent upon a favourable climate, so intellectual and spiritual growth is de¬ pendent upon a beneficent environment? May this class and each succeeding one play a part in building traditions of eager curiosity, alert attention, spirited discus¬ sion, loyal co-operation, and earnest study that will make our school a potent force in a growing and maturing Canada. MR. T. P. STEADMAN CONGRATULATIONS May we express our congratulations and best wishes to Mr. R. B. Whetstone who is leaving Forster to begin his duties as vice-principal of Patterson Collegiate and Mr. C. B. Courtney who has taken a leave of absence to continue his work towards a Ph.D. degree at the University of Michigan. We also extend our best wishes to Mrs. Ray, Mrs. Sanborn, Mrs. Mc¬ Kenzie, Miss Smart, Miss Ham and Mr. Jenkins who will be leaving us this June. Graduation 57 This day we leave, to come no more Into these hallowed halls of lore, Where knowledge gained shall ne’er be lost For many hours of work it cost— Though different paths we tread. To some it means the end of toil O’er worthy books, by midnight oil. To others it is but a start— A joyous step with prayerful heart In this great game of life. The cheers that rang about the gym, The silent prayers, the holy hymn The fear of “finals” that in us grew Are not forgotten for they too Rest deep within our hearts. The lasting friendships that we made, The work not done (for which we paid) Are memories which we’ll cherish still As each, God’s purpose does fulfil On this great earth of ours. As we recall the years gone by, The way that all, with spirits high Gained one dear gift—a love Of learning—for this above All else, is why we came. But to our teachers the most we owe, They strove in every way to show That by hard work we may succeed— Attain all things we want and need For a rich and joyous life. 1C A. ml es at. I A m es at P.

After the singing of “God Save the Queen,” there was a short reunion of the graduating classes in the cafeteria. E c c 1 e s i a The Spartalogue wishes to congratulate the Ecclesia on its 1957 achievements. Through the Ecclesia, the Forster students contributed two hun¬ dred dollars towards the new score board in the gym, and one hundred and fifty dollars towards the cyclorama curtains for the stage. When the Robin¬ son family suffered the loss of their home as a result of a fire, the Ecclesia started a fund and through the students’ generosity, presented the Robinsons with a gift of ninety-eight dollars. Two after-the-game dances rounded out this year’s very successful activities. Serving on the Ecclesia executive during the first term were Gordon Law, president; Dawn Campbell, vice-president; Jim Johnson, treasurer; and Nancy Grondin, secretary. The second term of office saw- Marilyn Lynds as president; Jerry Brumpton, vice-president; Eliza¬ beth Ord, treasurer; and Barbara Conrick, secretary. In the third and final term, Jim Johnson w-as eletced president; Elizabeth Ord, vice-president; Dawn Campbell, secretary, and Marilyn Lynds, treasurer. ted ia« rie icy ng :he are ;he he he in he he in- a nd he JVO try rst ill icy as is a symbol off achievement . . . and a promise off great things to come Today, throughout Chrysler of Canada’s Forward Look family, you find advancements so modern that many are still only drawing- board dreams to other manufacturers. Many of these advancements, such as push-button automatic transmission, Full-Time power steering, and Total-Contact brakes are rela¬ tively recent, and, of course, readily associated with the youthful, progressive spirit of The Forward Look. But, did you know that the first four-wheel hydraulic brakes . . . first high-compression engines . . . first adjustable front seats .. . first safety-rim wheels . . . and a score of other notable automotive firsts” have also been associated with this Forward Look spirit over the past 30 years? And did you know that this same spirit has meant significant advances in truck engineering and industrial engineering as well? There was no famous Forward Look name, or symbol for it, back in the earlier days of Chrysler of Canada’s history. But the youthful spirit, the looking ahead, have always kept Chrysler in the forefront of progress. And we like to think that this same pioneering urge motivates all our young people as they move from the academic to the business world. For whatever our chosen occupations, it is this that promises great accomplishments for all of us, that means richer, more abundant living, in the years that lie ahead.

And who did know The keenness of thy scalloped knife-knicked edge, The whispered shriek of lacerated air, The pained cry of the hunted as the fledge Swift arrow struck? And who did homeward bear Across his s inewed back the bloodied prize? Who lost thee once atop this time-shaped mound. Who searched for thee with deep-discerning eyes. Who searched for thee and left thee here unfound ' Til I should find thee here upon my way— A stony chip, a piece of yesterday. —Rosabelle Veighy, 13A. STILL WAITING Every night at twilight, I wander by the sea, Hoping, praying, dreaming, that you’ll come back to me. The slapping winds, the splashing waves, The gray clouds scudding through the mist, All remind me of a magic night, That cherished hour when first we kissed. As I stumbled along in the stony sand, I saw your bonfire burning Like a beacon bright in the midst of the night. Then you, the fire’s warmth spurning, Hurried toward me—then stopped—our eyes met; Softly you whispered my name; then gently, tenderly, You took me to your breast. That was a year ago. Now I m alone, with no one but you in my heart. —Margaret Sparling, 12A. WHO WILL GO? They call across the waters deep To us who here in slumber sleep; They want to know the God who loves; Though few do care, there is One who does. “Come over and help us!” is their plea; Who will go? Wilf you or me? They have sought in vain to find true life; They can have it only through Jesus Christ. They are ready and waiting the good news to hear. Is no one willing the Gospel to bear? They are steeped in sin and the blackness of night. Is there no one to carry to them the light? The Gospel has come to those in the West; Is there no one to carry the Word to the rest? Christ died for them as well as us; Is it not our duty to help the lost? —Marjorie Dubs, 12A. THE SENSES Sitting by the little stream— I listened To the murmur of the tiny, rushing brook; And tasted Of the water racing quickly through the nook; And watched The splash, the spray, as white and fine as lace; And felt The tingling cool of wetness on my face; And smelled The fresh, sweet tang of spring, through all the air; And thought How wonderful for us that God should care To give To undeserving men his best gifts free, The sense To hear, to smell, to taste, to feel, to see. —Dianne Campbell, 12A. A WONDER OF GOD’S CREATION Along the roadside or in the parks. When the air is full of the song of the larks, Our hearts are gladdened, our eyes refreshed By the sight of the trees in emerald dressed. In the months of fall they are artists’ delights, With leaves gently falling induced from their heights, Gracefully, slowly, floating with ease To the soft sweet song of the westerly breeze. Robbed of their beauty by zephyrs of fall, They stand yet in winter, both noble and tall, Majestic! in their robes, so white, Fit to adorn the Creator of Light. Now balmy spring follows a winter of strife, And the trees are laden with their buds of new life, Completing a cycle, so wondrous and odd, A constant reminder of the presence of God. —Carol Talbot, 11A. THE SPARTALOGUE — 1957 Page Twenty-Three The Cure Dawn Campbell, 13A How dreary it was to lie there, day after day, year after year, so long that time lost meaning! To some, the bright azure of the sky, and the deep green of the branches of the date-palms against the gold of the sand would have been a picture of great beauty. To him it was a scene of pain. The sun • grew so unbearably hot that he hated to stir from his place in the shelter of the arch, but he had to • try. Each time the waters bubbled in the pool, some fortunate souls reached them, and were cured of their afflictions, but such had not yet been his fate. He lay this day, watching the white clouds drift lazily by, pondering, as he had so often, the miracle of the waters. Some maintained that their healing L powers came from something unknown within the waters themselves, but most agreed that it must be the work of angels, for who but they could work miracles? Countless bodies had been cleansed, crip¬ pled limbs had been straightened, and blind eyes had been made to see. Would his turn never come? He tried so hard to reach the pool, but the pain was searing, and his legs so twisted and useless that he could only drag his body along slowly and with great difficulty. Before he could reach it, others always filled the pool, for he had no friend to bear his wasted body to the edge of the water, so that he might receive the blessing of the angels. The arduous journey back was always a nightmare. At first he had hoped, each time, that perhaps his turn would be next, but after nearly forty years, one lost that sort of hope, and became filled with a desolation and desperation born of years of dis¬ appointment. This day as he lay, he had an inexplicable feeling that somehow, to-day was different. What caused this feelin g he did not know. Suddenly, as he looked around, he saw a man l who he knew was going to change his life. If he lay on his mat, in the shadow of the arch, for the rest of his days, he would always remember the look on that face, and never again would he feel cheated of the greatest things in life. The man to whom the face belonged was rather slight of stature, and very unimposing, but his pres¬ ence was felt by everyone who saw him. From his eyes shone a clear light of peace, and his lips ex¬ pressed a great compassion and pity for the suffer¬ ers about him. The cripple felt himself drawn to r this stranger as if his whole being depended on him. The burden of the years fell from his soul, like a task completed, as the other gazed on him. What power could this man have to make one feel so wonderfully uplifted? It was almost like being recreated! But now the newcomer was walking towards the sick man as if he planned to speak to him. It had been so long since anyone had spoken to him as a , t friend. A wild surging hope leaped up in the breast of the sufferer. Perhaps he could even persuade this man to wait until the water bubbled in the pool and to carry him to the water’s edge. When this gentle person reached the cripple, he asked him a question, “Would you like to be cured?” The helpless man brokenly told of his misery, and how he longed for someone to carry him to the water. The other spoke only seven words in reply—then quietly disappeared. “Rise, take up your bed, and walk,” he said. Without hesitation, the lame one did as he was bidden. He felt new strength surge into the limbs which were powerless for so long—he was whole again. For him, the birds once more sang a joyful song, and his soul exulted in the beauty around him. He was filled with the pure joy of being alive. But he had forgotten one thing—he did not know the man who had healed him. His inquiries brought the simple answer, “His name is Jesus.” SUSAN Susan is made of whipcord and iron. Of whipcord and iron is Susan made. Susan is made of the stuff of heroes Inside, ' though she’s a small sweet maid. Susan is four, and the world has no limit. It’s as wide and as deep as the love that is in it For her. And she skates the length of the street With flying flax hair and swift wings on her feet. Failure and defeat have no meaning to Susan. Susan is small, and determined, and tough. She has glow, and a zest and feeling for living That the world can not quench, be it ever so rough. —Mary Holden, 10D. A HOPE FOR PRAYER How many times has man been deep in doubt, Since peace and good, it seems, will never be? But there is One who lives and walks about, Whose guiding hand leads on to victory And hath unending faith been put to rout? Has man forgot the love once felt for Thee? Where shall he turn when light of hope is out, And nothing is, where truth should ever be? Oh God! that man may someday see the light That shines when he has done what is Thy will! That even in life’s deep despair, he’ll fight To do his best, achieve his goal; and still, When he has found success, has reached his height, Will thank Thee—that his task he did fulfill. —Marilyn Talbot, 13A. TRANSFORMATION The oak tree in its glory Stood serene and still. Its branches spread beneath the clouds Atop that lonely hill. Then suddenly the scene was changed; The sky grew dark and cold; The shadow of a cross was cast Upon the soldiers bold. And looking up they saw the cross And bowed with reverence there Toward the hill, where once had stood The oak tree proud and fair. —Judy Carter, 11D. Page Twenty-Four THE SPARTALOGUE — 1957 loo Late Rosabelle Veighey, 13A. He hurried down the narrow street with the dingy tenements and pokey shops, past the curtain¬ less windows and sun-warped doors, past the con¬ crete stoops where frowsy women gossiped listlessly. This grimy, smutty neighbourhood had not changed in the least, and sudden memories, poignant and sharp, flooded his whole being. Blinded as he was by these recollections and the grief and guilt they aroused in him, he scarcely avoided colliding with a hefty virago who, mottled arms akimbo, was wrangling noisily in Italian with a stocky, mous¬ tached fruit-vender. Reviving somewhat, he continued along the street until he reached at last the weather-beaten picket fence with the lopsided gate that always stuck. He was home, home after fifteen years, but home three days too late! The shutterless windows of the little brown house stared accusingly at him. “I meant to come sooner,” he pleaded silently. ‘‘I meant to.” ‘‘You’re late,” was the inevitable answer. “Too late!” Pushing open the front door he stepped into the living-room. It was just as he remembered it, the carpetless floors, the threadbare couch, mildewed wallpaper and yellowed lace curtains, and the geranium, the great potted geranium — a florid splash in the grey little room. Unable to remain in this room of memories, he passed on through to the bare little scullery where poverty and frugality shrieked from every corner. He saw the blue willow cup—her cup. Taking it down from the shelf, he turned it over and over in his hand tracing its deli¬ cate pattern with his finger—remembering. She had always loved blue. It had held a magic for her that had swept away the banal drabness of her life. He recalled the time he had walked along the tracks gathering the scraggly, blue chickory weed, and the pleasure that had shone in her eyes, themselves a startling, inscrutable blue, when he had given them to her. He replaced the cup abruptly, and wandered aim¬ lessly into the back yard. The tulip trees had scat¬ tered their paper-brown confetti everywhere; now they loomed in lacy relief against the pearly sky. Under the back fence the chrysanthemums were beginning to crumble into the dusty grass save for one rusty-gold bloom that had somehow survived the November frosts. He picked it slowly, deliberately, and breathing in its spicy freshness, he left the yard, passing down the dirty alley-way, which opened out onto an ugly, cobbled road. There, across the street was the churchyard, crowded and treeless, as drab and un¬ kempt as the slums around it. Entering through the ramshackle gate, he made his way to the newest grave. The bareness of it struck him. Not a single flower brightened this cheerless little mound. She had died as she had lived, quietly, unobtrusively,— no one knowing, no one caring. Gently he laid his Continued on Page 38 A Room Full of Roses Gail Casey, 12B. She’s dead now, and I’m not sorry. My heart doesn’t hold much sympathy for her, beca use I warned her. I warned her about Mike; but after all, I was only her sister, and Jane was in love with him. Love! I hate ldve! It twists minds and hearts into tortured slaves. We were a respectable family once, and tall, blonde Jane was the pride of us all. But it was more than being proud of her that made me depend on her so much, and maybe that’s why it hurts so much now. She was beautiful. Me, I was just a short, fat, mistake. She tried to help me, to at least instill a little self-confidence in me. I guess she realized that I was a hopeless case of “Plain Jane- itis” long before everything was so changed. We used to talk a lot, Jane and I. At first, it was nonsensical jibber about the fun she had on dates. I was an eager listener, because I must admit that I was once interested in such nonsense. She was only a year younger than I, but it was always she that had the fun, always she. Then, as Jane became increasingly popular, we formed a sort of con¬ spiracy, and I discovered that her fun was leading her into dishonesty. It started when the police picked Mike and Jane and their gang up for what they called juvenile delinquency. But don’t forget we were respectable. Too respectable, really. She was surprised to find forgiveness from our parents and friends, and for a while, I was sure I detected a note of resentfulness. I don’t think she wanted to be forgiven. Gradually, her purity deteriorated to vice, and crime after crime was her daily bread. I hated Mike. He wasn’t good enough for Jane. He came from the wrong side of the tracks, and one day he dragged Jane across them, for they eloped and got married. Later I found that I acted as a mediator between her and the respectable world, and in our talks, she frequently referred to her dreams. Be¬ fore, she used to tell me of the happiness the next day would have held, but now it was different. She dreamed now of a dark shadowy room, filled with the scent of beautiful incense. She was always elo¬ quent about the reality of being in that room, the reality of smelling the scent of roses. She described the room in great detail one night. There was only one door and no windows . Candle light flickered from one corner, and the rays cast eerie oblong shadows across the threshold of the room. There were no beautiful vibrant colours, just dull greys and pitch blacks. But it was the scent of those flowers that compensated for the lack of beauty. It floated on angel’s wings and gossamer rays of light. It drifted to the portal, and back again to the dark corners and square shadows. She sought refuge in this room, because it was a haven that hid her from the crimes that plagued her, for together with Mike she had risen to the summit of a criminal ' s zenith. She might have known that the only way ahead was down, but she Continued on Page 38 • THE SPARTALOGUE — 1957 Page Twenty-Five The Fire Catherine White, 13A. John first learned about the fire while at work on the dock. He had just begun to unload a newly- arrived supply of costly French perfume, when old Isaac, a local shopkeeper, rushed up to him with the shaking words, “A fire . , . spreading fast. It started in the old section . . . people dying . . . it’s terrible!” Instantly John’s thoughts whirled to his wife and daughter in their home so dangerously near the ill- fated historic section of the city. He craned his neck in the direction of the crimson national flag atop the parliament building. Relief relaxed his tense muscles as he saw that the wind was blowing strongly in a westerly direction away from his home. At least their home would be safe temporar¬ ily. Isaac, his aging face corrugated with worry, leaned slightly forward, mouth agape, awaiting John’s verbal reaction. “Has the fire department arrived yet?” Isaac’s wrinkles deepened. “They’ve been and gone. It ' s gotten out of hand, I tell you. They didn’t have enough water. My son-in-law says they went to the palace to get the senate’s permission to use the emergency water in the reservoir.” This does sound serious! “I’ll say so. Everyone is fleeing, everyone who still can, that is.” John brushed a sweaty sleeve across his mouth. “I ' m going to send the boys home for the day. Then I think I’ll go investigate. Maybe they can use some help.” As he hurried along the two miles of worn, salty dock, John pondered over the news. The quay was now devoid of humanity; only the perfume ship¬ ment and some half-sorted boxes of Chinese tapes¬ tries remained. Seagulls, ruffled in the brisk sea wind, were wheeling and dipping above him. John shook his head grimly. If this fire was as severe as it sounded, the damage would be Herculean, for the old section was choice food for a blaze. A few months before, while making a delivery, John had noticed the rotting, congested tenements and stores separated by paper-thin partitions, and had re¬ flected on the danger. Suddenly a roar, greater than that of the frequent floods, cut through the wind, followed by a thud. John broke into a run. Within seconds he was at the edge of the scene, silhouetted against a red sky. Before him, the entire city was shrouded in an im¬ penetrable smoke screen. Spiralling paths of fire radiated from the dense smoke in all directions. Then he saw the cause of the explosion of a few seconds ago. The new arena of expensive hand-cut marble, of the hardest wood from Kashmir, braced by indestructible pillars, lay in ruins, the arena, built to last a thousand years. John shuddered as the full awkward realization of the extent of the fire came to him. His city, ruler of the seas, Caesar of the subdued nations, metropolis of over a million citizens, the queen of cities was doomed! She must not fall. He must help to protect her—the fire de¬ partment of course! He must volunteer. John struck out, skirting the smoky streets, trying des¬ perately to shut out the tortured wails of the af¬ flicted, to blot out the rancid odour of burning flesh. His eyes fondled two deserted infants weep¬ ing, “Mama, Mama” to a mother who did not, or could not, reply. Remembering that the brigade had gone for the reserve water, he headed east through the smouldering middle section towards the palace and the water duct. At least the palace with its royal occupants, isolated as it was, would be safe from the conflagration. At length, the flames and suffering were far be¬ hind; John was ascending the stone staircase leading to the palace gardens. Only two uniformed guards were on sentry duty; the remaining forty-eight were doubtless advising the King or helping with the fire brigade. John was swiftly directed to the volunteer workers on the other side of the palace. The palace was something out of a story book. Stone porticos surrounded the impressive structure. At this mo¬ ment, sweet perfume was floating from the windows on the vibrations of a single violin. Despite his haste, John could not resist peering inside where, to his complete amazement, recital was in progress. The banquet feast, now discarded platters of capon bones, empty goblets and paste eggs, littered the room. The jovial guests were attentively listen¬ ing to a performer, a violinist. All eyes were focused on the performer, who was apparently de¬ riving great pleasure from his own playing. John studied him. Under a mass of coarse red curls, his cruel protuberant eyes were following the slender bow. His lips, thick and puffy, were curled in pleasure as sweet sounds emanated from his instru¬ ment. John shook his head sadly. King Nero was fiddling while Rome burned!

Her prize-winning essay was entitled “The Home—The First School of Citizenship”. THE HILL There is a hill In a far off land, A hallowed hill Of rock and sand Where once stood a cross! The sacrificial tree, And the One who hung And suffered there, He died for you and me. The sky was dark above the hill, Gloom filled the air around, Soldiers murmured in a group, And women knelt upon the ground. 0! hallowed hill Of rock and sand! 0! hill of bitter strife! 0! hill on which the Saviour died, To give eternal life. —Neil Wightman, 12A. Page Twenty-Six THE SPARTALOGUE” — 1957 A Decision Marjorie Dubs, 12A. He stood against the door of the hut, a strong, husky boy of about eighteen or nineteen. His mus¬ cular, well-built body contrasted sharply with the lazy-looking, obese, sagging bodies of his tribe. Lines of deep concern were on his face. Had he done the right thing? What if his father, the chief, died? His people would not only turn against the white missionary who had been trying so hard to reach his people, but also against himself. In his mind he thought of the happenings of the last three days. A messenger had come to the mis¬ sionary’s compound where he had been learning to read and write, and where he had also come to accept the white man’s God. “You must come quickly, Luku,” Papeta said almost in a whisper. “The chief was stabbed in a war with the Lowas. The witch-doctor says for you to come pretty quick.” Luku did not stay to listen to hear any more of what Papeta had to tell him. He hurried to the missionary’s hut which stood at the far end of the compound. “Muzungu (Mr. White Man), my father, the chief, he was stabbed when at war with the Lowas. I must go to my village. If he dies, I shall never return, for then I shall be forced to stay as the chief of my people. They will not let me come back.” “Let me go with you. Maybe I shall be able to give him a medicine that will heal his wound. The missionary waited anxiously for the reply. No, Muzungu. My people do not trust you. They will kill us both if you go. I will try to make the witch-doctor let me bring him to you. Pray, Muzungu.” With that, Luku ran off with Papeta to his vil- lage. Finding his father almost dead and realizing that the witch-doctor could do nothing for him, Luku felt that somehow he must make the people understand that the white missionary doctor might be able to heal and restore their chief to them. At first, even though he, the chief’s son, pleaded on bended knee, the witch-doctor said “no” to all his entreaties. Finally in desperation, he made a rash statement which he almost, but not quite, re¬ gretted now. If my father dies, you may kill me,” he had vowed quietly to the witch-doctor. “Since I am his only son, you would then be chief according to the laws of our tribe.” There was nothing more that the witch-doctor wanted. u white medicine man, old Membou had muttered, “but if your father dies, you shall not live.” Now as Luku stood before the door of the white missionary s hut, cold sweat poured from every pore in his body. If the operation (whatever that meant, he did not know) was not successful, he would not be alive much longer. The witch-doctor was standing only a short dis¬ tance from Luku. In his hand lay a menacing dagger. It had been the instrument by which sacri¬ fices had been offered to the gods . Would it now become the means by which Luku would meet his death ? All the men of the village had surrounded the hut. They stood motionless now, but one word could send them intb an animal-like rage in which they would not likely be satisfied with only his life, but might even kill Muzungu. The boy shuddered as he thought of what might happen and he wond¬ ered if he had made the right decision. Would it have been better to let his father die there in the village, or was it better to have him here now, where, if he died, at least one more, if not two more people, would die with him? Suddenly there was a stir within. The missionary came to the door and stood looking aimlessly at those around him. He said nothing. He just stood there. Luku could hardly bear the suspense. He felt that he must know what had happened. Just as he was about to say something to the missionary, Muzungu came out of his reverie and disappeared into the interior of the hut. In a moment he reappeared, but he was not alone. Leaning heavily upon the missionary’s shoulder, stood the chief. Looking first at Luku, he whispered, “You are wise, my son, for you were the only one who knew enough to bring me to the white medicine man.” Then turning to the witch-doctor and the rest of the tribesmen he said, “You, my people, shall not hate the Muzungu any more. He is a friend to you and to me. We will help him. Our children shall come to his school. We shall learn of his God and follow Him. I have spoken.” Even the witch-doctor bowed in submission to the chief’s will. Luku sighed deeply. He had made the right de¬ cision and now, because he had been ready to sacrifice his life, his people would learn of the only true God. THE CROSSING After farewells, by the rail you stand. Behind you lies your native-land. The tang of salt invades the breeze, Ahead, a land of mysteries. Your tiny ship obeys her helm, Though dwarfed by Neptune’s watery realm; Braving the vastness of the ocean, The untamed violence of its motion. Then through the crisp sea-air you spy, A thin blue line ’twixt sea and sky; Again the friendly earth you view, As you salute the strange and new. —Elaine Critchlow, 11 A. THE SPAKTALOGUE — 1957 Page Twenty-Seven Halloween Dance This year’s Hallowe’en party got off to its usual good start as the dance committee led the student body in a rousing sing-song. Gay orange and black streamers decorating the auditorium and hall provided the traditional back¬ ground for our festivities. Skirts and sweaters gave way to slacks and plaid shirts as all in attendance participated in the square dances called by Miss Gurney. The dance committee consisting of Tamy Cohoon, Gordon Law, Tom McCrimmon, Judy Turnbull. Lois Bowen, Bob McMaster, Roger Douglas, and Don LaFontaine, helped to make the evening ' s festivities a success. Mr. Silcox, Mr. and Mrs. Ray, Miss Gur¬ ney, and Mr. and Mrs. Mallender generously lent their support as patrons. Winter Whirl Red and white streamers, sparkling silver stars, and tinselled Christmas trees decorated the audi¬ torium for the gala event of the year—the annual formal dance, rechristened “The Winter Whirl.’ The name was suggested by no less than fourteen students when the Ecclesia sponsored a contest to select a new name for the dance. Lending their patronage were Mr. and Mrs. T. P. Steadman, Mr. and Mrs. Allan Sparling, Mr. and Mrs. M. D. Campbell, Mr. and Mrs. T. D. Ray, Mr. and Mrs. Henry Dumaine, Mr. and Mrs. W. C. Bowen, Mr. and Mrs. L. Wollison, Mr. and Mrs. David Mallender, Mr. and Mrs. F. J. Page, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Ord, Mr. and Mrs. A. R. Heaton, Mr. and Mrs. R. B. Whetstone, Mr. and Mrs. H. M. Brown, Mr. and Mrs. William Ellis. Members of the dance committee included Eliza¬ beth Ord and Gordon Law, Lois Bowen who came with Dave Snyder, Tamy Cohoon escorted by Tom McCrimmon, Barbara Conrick accompanied by Doug Long, Jerry Brumpton who brought Helen French, Jim Leishman who escorted Carol Lyng- holm, and Bob McMaster with Janet Varah. The music for the festive occasion was provided by Bobby Brew and his orchestra. Seen dancing were Dawn Campbell and Ken Howell, Betty Makar and Jim Cruikshank, Glenda Atkins and Howard Aitkenhead, Patty Page and Richard Taylor, Mari- lou Dobson and Ron Robinson, Claire Renaud and David Peach, Marguerite Tremblay and Terry Jenkins. Mary Gorman and John McIntyre, Rosemary Paterson and Charles Stickley, Marie McGuinness and Roger Damore, Valentina Tritjak and Ron Tessier, Diane King and Dean Saul, Barbara Gray and David Moore, Mary Lou Eberwein and Ken Lauzon, Marilyn Lynds and Mike Moore, Lorraine Allen and Earl French, Nancy Grondin and Wayne De Lisle, Anna Kovinsky and Walt Baranowski along with many others, attended to make this one of the most successful formal dances on record. Sweater Swing The crowning of the “Sweater Queen, Tamy Cohoon of 13A, and “Swing King,” Larry Karpiuk of 12A featured Forster ' s 18th annual Sweater Swing. The contest preceding the dance was the liveliest ever held. Posters advertising “Queen and King” candidates from the upper classes decorated the school and at the same time stimulated so much interest that nearly three hundred students attended the dance. Many patrons helped to make the Sweater Swing a success. They included Mr. and Mrs. T. P. Stead¬ man, Mr. and Mrs. R. B. Whetstone, Mr. and Mrs. A. Heaton, Mr. and Mrs. G. Jenkins, Dr. and Mrs. S. Sanborn, Mr. and Mrs. J. McKenzie, and the parents of Grade 13 students. The dance committee, headed by David Peach who came with Ann Clarke, did a superb job. The auditorium was cleverly decorated with red and white streamers which ran from a rotating crystal ball to the balcony. Members of the dance com¬ mittee were Philip Arber, Gordon Law who came with Elizabeth Ord, Doug Long with Barbara Con¬ rick, Nancy Grondin accompanied by Jim Cruick- shank, Barbara Skeggs escorted by Ed Dydo, Mar¬ garet White who came with Doug Ferguson and Dawn Campbell with Warren Eling. United Nations Pilgrimage Congratulations to Margaret White of 12A for winning a two-week trip to the United Nations and other important centres. The trip, sponsored by the Oddfellows and Rebekahs of Windsor, enables the winners to attend the “United Nations’ Pilgrimage for Youth” at New York. It will also include visits to Washington, Philadelphia and Ottawa. To win the prize, Margaret White competed against thirteen other Windsor district students. Each candidate was required to give a five-minute address about the United Nations. Jim Leishman, the second Forster Collegiate representative, also made a very good showing at the competition.

Put lie S pea ting So many students took part in public speaking this year that eliminations were required in some divisions in order to narrow the field. The com¬ petition was very keen, with the result that the judges had an unusally difficult task in picking the ultimate winners. All the contestants acquitted themselves excep¬ tionally well in the contests. Our special congratu¬ lations are extended to Jack Wayne, who went on to capture second place in the W.S.S.A. competition. Seven students, who were skilfully coached by Mrs. Sparling, participated in the senior boys’ con¬ test. The winner, Jack Wayne of 13A, chose as his topic “The Pageant of the Theatre.” His speech aroused the keen interest of all, as they followed the development of the theatre through the cen¬ turies. The second place winner, John Blacklock of 11 A, speaking on the importance of “The Atomic Age”, stressed the point that atomic energy in the future may become man’s best friend or his worst enemy. Receiving honourable mention was Wallace Mills of 12B. He spoke on the invention of the aeroplane. The other participants were David Rob¬ inson, Arthur Armstrong, William Ford and Barry Robinson. Four girls, expertly coached by Mrs. Haeberlin, entered the senior girls’ division. Rosabelle Veighey of 13A took top honours with her enlightening speech “The Early Man”. She stressed the import¬ ance of the contributions made by early man to our civilization. Winning second place, Ann Grant of 11A related “The History of Advertising,” describ¬ ing the various phases through which advertising has passed to become the great force that it is in the world of today. Dianne Campbell and Elizabeth Kulik are to be highly commended on their fine speeches. In the junior girls’ division, Karen Carter of 9H won first place. Her interesting speech on the fas¬ cinating and mysterious race of the Incas stressed their ancient cu lture and unusual customs. Mary Holden of 10D, speaking on “Astronomy”, placed second. For the informative speech “Youths of Continued on Page 59 • THE SPARTALOGUE — 1957 Page Twenty-Nine An Evening of Music and Drama Forster students looked forward to the second annual variety night with great anticipation. It ex¬ ceeded our expectations, being a great success under the competent direction of Miss Weller, Mrs. Mc¬ Kenzie and Mrs. Sinclair. As a prelude to the evening ' s performance, the Grade Nine Choir gave a delightful rendition of Beethoven ' s “Minuet in G”, and “Christopher Robin”, accompanied by Judy Hickson. Dawn Campbell accompanied Elizabeth Kulik as she sang “The Lord’s Prayer,” and “Serenade” from the Student Prince”. Jerome DeLaurier very capably played the lead in “Paul Wrecks the Car”, a comedy concerning a teen-age boy and his father ' s car. Playing support¬ ing roles as Jerome’s brother and sister, Ed Hytten- rauch and Anna Kovinsky succeeded in annoying Jerome by telling him of the lecture he would re¬ ceive for wrecking his Dad’s new car. Marilyn Lynds did a superb job as student director. To start the second part of the program, Barbara Power played Tschaikowsky’s “Concerto No. 5” with flawless technique. Two well-chosen songs, I Love a Parade” and The Riff Song”, rendered by the Boys’ Choir and accompanied by Elizabeth Ord, followed. Two harmonica solos “Home On the Range and “Red River Valley” by Janet McLeod were very well received by the audience. The second play, “Elmer and the Soprano”, starred Bill Bryce, Janet Kidd and Karen Carter. Bill was an aspiring magician in an all-girl family, with Janet playing his older sister and Karen Carter, a Southern belle. Betty Makar was the very efficient student director. A trio, consisting of Lorraine Allen and Judy and Patty Ambrose, sang Good Night Sweetheart” and y “To-night You Belong To Me,” and a duet, com¬ posed of Irene Marshall and Lynne Peters sang Follow Me” and “City of Angels”. Judy Hickson accompanied the trio, and Dawn Campbell, the duet. g An excellent finale for an enjoyable evening was :- provided by the Girls’ Glee Club whose first number r was “Love’s Dream.” In their second number, the if inspiring and timely hymn I Walked To-day i- Where Jesus Walked”, the Girls ' Choir reached a g peak of perfection. “Somewhere Over the Rain- n bow,” with Carole Lyngholm singing the solo, was h their final presentation. The Spartalogue staff extends their congratula- tions to all those who played a part in making this evening such an enjoyable one. d The three choirs which participated in the “Eve- y ning of Music and Drama” repeated their selections d the following Friday evening at the Windsor ,f Secondary Schools Music Festival, held this year at Walkerville Collegiate. Special Assemblies Canadian Guards’ Band Last fall, the students of Forster Collegiate were privileged to hear the Canadian Guards’ Band from Camp Borden. Under the direction of Major Gallo¬ way, the band made an impressive sight on our stage with their shining instruments and colourful tartan kilts. The wide variety of musical numbers captivated the interest of the students, and pro¬ vided a very entertaining concert. School Spirit A lively skit to raise the school spirit for the Walkerville vs. Forster football game was put on by Grade 13. Based on the story of “Little Red Riding Hood”, the skit featured Val Tritjak who portrayed the big bad wolf and Ken Howell, a win¬ some Red Riding Hood. Moral—“Let us support Forster and the Walkerville wolf cannot defeat us”. United Nations’ Week A dramatization of the conversations in the Con¬ ference Room of the United Nations Building was presented by the Forster Forum. Dianne Campbell was the roving reporter who interviewed Rosabelle Veighy, a representative from England; Howard Aitkenhead, an American; and Tamy Cohoon from India. Christmas Awards Assembly The Christmas Awards assembly signified the completion of the first half of the school term. Award bars were presented to each member of the football team, the junior and senior girls ' volleyball teams, to the harriers, and to those who partici¬ pated in tennis and golf. Glenda Atkins and Judy Whitmarch received their school letters. The students’ spirits were high as all joined in the singing of the season ' s favourite carols. A play Too Much Mistletoe”, presented by 10A under the direction of Miss Weller, contributed to the gaiety of the occasion. Grade 10 Competition The Ecclcsia organized a competition among the Grade 10 classes in an attempt to brighten up Thursday morning assemblies. The programs have been lively and amusing and competition is keen. 1 lie Forster Forum Since its inauguration last year, the Forster Forum, a discussion-debating club, has proved an unquestionable asset to Forster Collegiate. It offers students an opportunity to express their views, whether it be about school, dominion, or world topics. The activities of the Forum, under the guidance of Mrs. Haeberlin, are varied and interesting. Each year, in co-operation with the United Nations As¬ sociation, some members of the Forster Forum are sent as delegates to a summer Seminar in London. On United Nations day, it has become the custom Continued on Page 38 DRAMA FIRST ROW (Left to right): Tom Kulik, Lorraine MacKinnon, Sheron Bryson, Barbaia Powers, Carol Boughner, Brenda Boutette.

Page Thirty-Six THE SPARTALOGUE” — 1957 1957 Cadet I nspection The annual inspection of the Forster Collegiate cadet corps was held on May 9 at Windsor Stadium in a driving rain that evinced the dauntless spirit of Forster cadets. The corps, under the command of Cadet Lt. Col. Trevor Wright, presented a fine dis¬ play of military precision for inspecting officer Capt. A. P. Rankine and reviewing officer Major 0. R. Browne. After the ceremonial and platoon and company drill, excellent demonstrations were presented by the band, resplendent in navy uniforms and white- plumed hats, and the drill team. The gymnastic team, which had promised to be one of the high¬ lights of the evening, could not put on its demon¬ stration because of the inclement weather. Following the inspection, a number of presenta¬ tions were made. The Ambassador Branch 143 Canadian Legion bursary of $150 was presented to Cadet Lt. Col. Trevor Wright by Mr. James Hali- burton, chairman of the Legion Bursary Committee. A plaque which commemorates this bursary was presented to Mr. H. M. Brown by Mr. Harvey Percy, president of the Branch. The Dieppe Trophy was then presented to the 12A Rifle team by Major K. Kersey, officer commanding the Essex-Kent regiment. C. Lt. Brian Vernon, judged the most outstanding grade nine cadet, received the Fred Revell Trophy which was presented by Mr. Revell, the immediate past president of the Branch. Band Sergeant Wayne Brown was selected to attend National Cadet Camp at Banff in recognition of services rendered to the cadet corps. The concluding remarks were delivered by Major O. R. Browne, reviewing officer. Mr. Steadman thanked the reviewing officers, cadets and spectators. Shooting On the whole, 1956 has proved to be a most suc¬ cessful year both in competition and recreational shooting. Sixty-nine teams took part in the Ontario Rifle Association competition and the school team won 15th place with an average score of 94.5%. The Dieppe Trophy, awarded for inter-form com¬ petition, was won by the team from 12A consisting of Wayne Hutchinson, David Snyder, Trevor Wright and Adam Bosynak. Don Evans won the highest average score in the Dominion of Canada Rifle Association. In the Dominion Marksmen Competition, Don Evans and Doug Howell received both gold and silver pins, and Wallace Mills won a bronze pin. A score of 96.9%, the highest average in the school’s history, was won in Royal Military College Com¬ petition by the school team this year. In the Recreational shooting, Don Evans, Wayne Hutchinson, David Snyder, and Douglas Howell have won their Distinguished Marksmen badges for 10 targets with an average of 97% or better. Three Memorial Day Service The third annual Memorial Day Service was held on November 10 with due solemnity. During a respectful silence Cadet Major Ronald Dockeray, as¬ sisted by Cadet Major Don Evans and Cadet Captain Adam Bosnyak, advanced and laid the poppy wreath under a white cross. Following the singing of “Recessional” the Scripture was read by Cadet Lt. Col. Trevor Wright. While the student body stood with bowed heads and humble hearts, Sgt. Wm. Welsh sounded “The Last Post” and “Reveille” in memory of those who gave their lives for their country. Cadet Major Bob McMaster, who acted as chair¬ man, introduced Rev. Walker who delivered the Memorial Address. In his brief message, Rev. Walker stressed the importance of this occasion and the debt we owe to the heroes who fell for freedom’s sake. boys have won their Expert Badges, eight their Marksmen’s and five their First Class badges.

This trip, sponsored by the Board of Education and the U. N. Assembly, was a dream come true. Mere words cannot begin to express my great appreciation for receiving such an honour. Touring the city on Sunday, the day reserved for such privileges, we took in such great sights as Rockefeller Centre, Grant’s Tomb, China Town, ex¬ clusive Fifth Avenue, the less exclusive Bowery and many other renowned places on Manhattan Island. Our main concern, of course, was the chance and privilege to see the United Nations at work. We spent two days at the U. N. buildings and, among the celebrities we saw, were the Honourable Lester Pearson, King Saud of Arabia, and John Cabot Lodge of the United States. We were very fortunate in visiting the U. N. at that time for the various countries were facing the greatest crisis in history. Two very important is¬ sues were being discussed. These were the questions of the Suez Canal and the Hungarian Revolution. By listening to the various delegates give their point of view, we were able to obtain a much clearer picture of the situations. From a Canadian delegate present at the session, we learned Canada’s position at the U. N. We found that Canada, though a relatively small power, is one of the most respected countries at the meet¬ ings and that her suggestions and advice are of great interest to the other countries. As I said before, my appreciation to those people who sent me to the U. N. cannot be expressed in a few words. To all who selected me — teachers, students, and the Board of Education—I say thank you! THE FORSTER FORUM Continued from Page 29 for members of the Forster Forum to meet with American youths at services on the Ambassador Bridge. After this year’s ceremony, our delegates toured Mumford High School to see how American education compares with ours. With such interesting activities on the agenda, the Forster Forum should grow into one of the most popular activities at F.C.I.

Knight A ROOM FULL OF ROSES Continued from Page 24 could not perceive this because of her craving for crime and her intense love for Mike. I asked her many, many times to relate this room to something tangible, but I could see that this was an impossibility. I regarded that room as a herald of impending doom, out my pleas went unheard, because this room and its sweetness compensated for her crimes. But one day their meteoric rise to fame began its descent. Jane was engaged in the routine task of driving the car while Mike and his companions in crime were attempting to rob the bank. It was one of the biggest jobs they ever pulled, but Fate had chosen that day for disaster. Jane was smoking a cigarette when she first saw Mike coming out of the bank. He was staggering and bleeding and at once she knew that she must help her husband. She left the car and ran to Mike, and she lead him down an alley just as the bank officials captured their com¬ panions. But Jane was smart. As she groped along the alley, she tried every door of the ramshackled tenements and run-down shops. At last she found one that readily opened, and it was none too soon, for footsteps were coming closer. She lay Mike’s now unconscious form on the floor and stood up to inspect their haven. As her eyes became accustomed to the poor light, she realized why it was so dark in there while the mid¬ day sun shone brightly outside. There were no windows. Soft shadows hazed the walls and the floor, and a solitary candle flickered and then died. But it was the smell that told her that she had found the Utopia of her dreams. This was her room, this was the smell of roses and she must see more. Fate obliged her. She did see more. The police swiftly opened the door and a blaze of gunfire ensued. Jane was mortally wounded, but before she died she must know . . . Was Mike dead? Where was she? “Yes,” said the sergeant, “Your husband is dead. “But where . . . what is this place? Where are we?” she gasped. “Why, the funeral parlour, ma’am,” he said. And Jane died. At last she knew. But this is what love did to Jane. I hate love! Now I am all alone, and at night I dream of a room full of roses. TOO LATE Continued from Page 24 chrysanthemum on the fresh-turned soil and, choked with anguish, whispered, “Forgive me, mother.” Then suddenly a shaft of light pierced the gloom, and a bird, a magnificent white bird, swooped down; without alighting, it caught up the wilted flower and, circling once, soared up higher and higher, melting at last into the impenetrable blue. The sorrow was still there and the deep sense of The human side of sacrifice and heroism add their share to the splendid story of the vital years of the St. Bernard Hospice in the Alps. loss. But the pain was dulled; the guilt and remorse had vanished, replaced by pride—that someone had noticed and cared. W.S. S. A. Tennis The lack of tennis courts near our Collegiate constitutes a serious handicap to Forster athletes who pursue this challenging sport. However, we had a surprisingly successful year, in spite of the fact that we had no courts to help us improve our game. Many juniors took part, and competed against more seasoned seniors from other schools in the W.S.S.A. League. Both Morgan Price and Gary Pattison of 11A reached the semi-finals. Gary played a terrific final game, but lost to the W.S.S.A. boys’ singles cham¬ pion. Michelle Cra bbe and Sheila T yler entered the girls’ singles, and both reache d the sem i- finals, but were defe ated h y-P-afc-Clair of.. Patterso n Collegiate, who later won the championship. Margaret Sparling and Loretta Decarie won the girls’ doubles in the W.S.S.A. League, after beating two teams from Walkerville in their two final games. The following week, our two champs were sent to the W.O.S.S.A. games to represent Windsor tennis in London. The competition proved to be very stiff, but Margaret and Loretta succeeded in winning third place out of the twelve teams from Western Ontario.

Five Forster players plus an alternate, Art Armstrong, competed against golfers from other schools. The golfers and their respective scores were as follows: Tom Kulick 84, Jim Johnston 89, Doug Ferguson 94, Dan Kay 85, and John McIntyre 100. Forster was proud to have such worthy repre¬ sentatives on Lakewood’s fairways. Cheer] eaclers School spirit this year was greatly increased by nine little dynamos—the F.C.I. cheerleaders. Don¬ ning bright new uniforms consisting of pleated red “Spartan” skirts and ties and white sweaters, they led the cheering section to louder and better yells a3 the teams performed with increasing skill and determination. The captain, Nancy Grondin, led the team through well-executed manoeuvres as they set a new high standard for future cheerleaders. Our thanks to Miss Gurney for the expert supervision she gave t o make our cheerleaders the best in Windsor. Page Forty •THE SPARTALOGUE — 1957 CHEERLEADERS MIDDLE FRONT: Lorraine Allen.

There was a feeling of confidence between the players and coaches that a good season was in our grasp IF the boys put out just a little more effort even though everyone knew that the team was green with only five or six holdovers from the previous year. Inexperience was turned into enthusiasm under the guiding hand of Messrs. Peirce and Mallender, and gradually many of the rookies began to look like experienced veterans through their persistent efforts in practice. Forster fielded probably its heaviest team in years with Barry Tank” Pepper and Jim “Goose” Leishman tipping the beam at close to 200 pounds. Under the firm hand of the coaches, the team ap¬ proached that infinite precision needed for a winner. After a brief tune-up against P. C. I. and most of the kinks oiled out, Forster girded itself for its battle with Walkerville. The Spartans entered the game confident—perhaps too confident, and they paid the consequences. After this stunning defeat, many of the players gave up hope, but not Mr. Mallender and Mr. Peirce. Before the Vocational game, the team was shaken from the doldrums by Mr. Mallender. Something happened to the Spar¬ tans on the way to the Stadium; perhaps they re¬ gained their confidence. Whatever it was, it was the right thing, for Forster ran up its largest score in many a moon—30 to 12. This game was high¬ lighted by the spirited defensive work of Phil Arber, and Whit Tucker. But unfortunately, that was Forster’s last taste of victory although they lost by only seven points to the rugged Kennedy crew. This game also feat¬ ured the brilliant broken-field running of Whit Tucker. Successive losses to Assumption and Patterson, and the Forster girders again hung up their cleats. But victory is not the important thing—how you play the game and what you get out of it are also important. Spartans played clean, hard football, and when the season was finished every last mem¬ ber of the team had the principles of team work and fellowship imbedded in their minds. Here I think the whole student body should raise their voices in three cheers for the two wonderful men— Mr. Mallender, and Mr. Peirce. Continued on Page 42 Page Forty-Two W.S. S. A. TRACK MEET The two 1957 Track Meet days dawned warm and sunny. Rooters packed the stands at the Wind¬ sor stadium to cheer their teams to victory. The red flag marking the Forster section waved in the light breeze, and the contestants were eager to bring glory to their flag. GIRLS In the Girls’ division the spirit was intense as the girls pushed forward to tie Patterson for first place in the Intermediate, and to place second in the W.S.S.A. Junior and Senior standings. Jean Aitkenhead was the outstanding girl athlete, being runner-up for the senior girls ' individual championship, two points behind the winner of the city. The results in the Senior division follow, Jean Aitkenhead — High Jump, 1st; Standing Broad, 4th; Running Broad, 3rd. Loretta Decarie — 75-yard Dash, 2nd; Running Broad, 3rd. Nancy Grondin—Standing Broad, 4th. Judy Carter—Ball Throw, 3rd. Joanne Sorenson—Ball Throw, 4th. The Intermediate girls, who always have the stiffest competition, tied for first place. They had an excellent relay team, consisting of Jeanne Black, Ruth Craig, Ann Grant, and Sheila Tyler; the relay ' ■ won 10 points for first place. Other points in this division were: Ruth Craig—Running Broad, 3rd. Marie Pitlick—Standing Broad, 3rd. Mione Marchant — High Jump, 1st; Standing Broad, 4th. THE SPARTALOGUE — 1957 Forster’s Junior girls achieved the following results: Brenda Belcher—75-yard Dash, 2nd. Pat Ambrose—75-yard Dash, 3rd. Mary Gorman—Standing Broad, 3rd. Pat Ambrose—Running Broad, 3rd. Chris Boyd—High Jump, 3rd. Carmen Eaton—Ball Throw, 2nd. Girls’ Junior Relay—2nd. Out of 21 girls’ events, Forster athletes placed in all but two. BOYS The Intermediate boys placed fourth in the W.S.S.A. standings, only 7 points behind the vic¬ tors. Whit Tucker distinguished himself by gaining 16 points to win the Individual Championship of the city. He came first in the Low Hurdles, first in the Hop, Step, and Jump, third in the Running Broad, and dashed the 220 yard record to 23 1 10 seconds. His team-mates also fought hard to win the following: Relay Team (Morgan Price, Whit Tucker, Milt Lesperance, Ken Davis)—2nd. Bob Hrichovian—Javelin, 3rd. Milt Lesperance—Hop, Step and Jump, 3rd. Ken Davis—440-yard Dash, 4th. The Forster Junior boys also turned in an excellent performance. The following were their achievements: Barry Pepper—High Jump, 2nd; Shot Putt, 4th. Andy Small—220-yard Dash, 3rd; Low Hurdles, 2nd. Scott McIntyre—Low Hurdles, 3rd. Junior Relay (McIntyre, Pepper, Small, Bill Pitt) —3rd. The track coaches, Mr. Krol, Mr. Mallender, and Mr. Peirce, were pleased with the boys’ results. They are very proud to be taking the following nine boys to the W.O.S.S.A. track meet on May 18: Bob Hrickovian, Milt Lesperance, Ken Davis, Morgan Price, Craig Halliday, Andy Small, Barry Pepper, Scot McIntyre, and Whit Tucker. FOOTBALL Continued from Page 41 Several members of the team were rewarded for their efforts.

GIRLS For several months, swimming was taught in class periods until only a small percentage of the girls in the school was still unable to swim. Thus, the fall interform swim meet was a huge success. The contest was divided into 2 groups, the Junior League (9’s and 10’s) and the Senior League. The competition was very stiff, with the racers being timed to the exact second, and their class-mates cheering them on. In the Junior contest, 9C came out on top, having won the backstroke, the relay, and the crawl. Then- captain was Mary Gorman, who helped garner many of the winning points. The Senior division was won by the 12A girls (captain—Marg White). They placed first in the Senior relay, the backstroke, and won other second and third positions. The runners-up were the 11B girls, who captured firsts in the breast stroke and crawl. Mrs. Ray was able to pick out many outstanding swimmers who later gained positions on the school swimming team. Although the team did not come out on top, it gave an excellent showing, and made the other participating teams work hard for their winning points. The following were some of the outstanding Forster mermaids: Chris Boyd, who won third and fourth in the Junior diving and breast-stroke events, and took part in the Grade 10 Relay which came in second; Mary Gorman, who gained points by placing second and third in the Junior breast stroke and style swimming; Liz Ord, who competed in the Senior style and the free style swimming, winning second and fourth positions, and who also took part in Senior Girls’ relay that placed third in the city; and Carol Moores, a vet¬ eran of the team, who swam in the Senior Girls’ Relay, the Mixed Medley Relay, and placed third in the diving. LIFE-SAVING Throughout the winter term, every Monday and Wednesday after school, Mrs. Ray, Margaret White and Peggy O’Hara supervised countless pupils through their land-drill, life-saving technique, swimming strokes, and safety rules. Although this routine was hard work, and many had to drop out, fifty-two girls succeeded in passing their respective tests. Twenty-four girls received their Bronze Medallion award. Their instructors were Loretta Decarie, Marg Sparling, Dianne Campbell and Peggy O’Hara who in turn received their Life-Saving In¬ structor’s awards. Twelve girls passed their Bronze Continued on Page 49 The W.S.S.A. Volleyball League was changed this year, with each school playing eight games in the season, instead of four as in previous years. Thus, more spirit and support than ever before were given to both Forster teams. SENIORS Although Forster had a very young inexperienced team, with only four well-trained veterans—Marg. White, Barb. Kerr, Margaret Sparling, and Nora Boyd, we managed to take third place in the W.S.S.A. Volleyball schedule. Miss Gurney was both surprised and pleased with the excellent im¬ provement of the players throughout the season. Many of the third formers, including An n Grant, Sheila Tyler, Marilyn Liebrock and Judy Whit- marsh displayed great spirit and promising skill. Since almost all the girls mentioned will be on the team next year, Miss Gurney has great hopes that the team of 1957 will win the city volleyball championship. JUNIORS Under the able coaching of Mrs. Ray, our Juniors succeeded in winning three of their first four games, and thus were tied with Lowe for first place in the W.S.S.A. standings. After a nerve-racking tie game with Lowe, they played a thrilling second home- game, but were nudged out by a few points. Among the many stars of the Junior team were Marie Pit- tick, Chris Boyd, Marg Gorman, Helen Wakeforcl and Sharon Parker. Many of the younger students who have been training this year will be our hopes for 1957. INTERFORM VOLLEYBALL Under the direction of Miss Gurney, Mrs. Ray, Nora Jean Boyd of 12A, and Ann Grant of 11 A, every class in the school competed in at least eight games in the Interform Volleyball competitions. Girls from grades ten to thirteen assisted with the timing, scoring and refereeing. SENIORS In the Senior division semi-finals, 13C defeated 11 A, and 11D defeated 12A. Sheila Tyler and her 11D co-players ousted Mary Lou Eberwein’s 13C team in the finals to become the proud possessors of the Senior Volleyball pennant. Some of the outstanding players of the senior division were Judy Carter, Diane King, Janet Kidd, Pat Dobson and Jo-anne Sorenson. Continued on Page 59 W. S. S. A. GIRLS It is the general opinion throughout the city that basketball was the favorite and most celebrated sport to be played this year. Miss Gurney and her Forster “lassies” entered into the spirit, and gave the crowds thrillers to remember. Although the girls were young and inexperi enced at the first of the season, they totaled up winning scores in all their W. S. S. A. games except the two which they lost to Patterson, the team that went on to win the W. 0. S. S. A. championship. In almost every game, the girls were plagued with “first-quarter jitters,” but soon bounced back into their characteristic speed and avid enthusiasm. The two captains, Marg Sparling (a guard) and Glenda Atkins (a forward), drove the players to give their utmost, so that they displayed a spirit that was thrilling to watch. Nora Jean Boyd proved to be the top-scorer, coming in fourth in the city standings, while her team-mate Jeanne Black looped many distance shots. In the exciting final game against Patterson, in which Forster was leading at half time, Helen Wakeford, a Grade 10 student, gained 22 points. Usually the guards are not mentioned in the newspaper accounts of the games. However, it is impossible • to overlook the terrific team work of this year’s guards. Sheila Tyler, Marg Sparling, Marg White, and Jean Aitkenhead fought through every game, taking the ball out of bounds, dribbling or passing up the floor, and displaying a steadiness and cool calculation of which the school may well be proud. Although the girls did not win, they knew they had fought their hardest, and vowed they would win next year. This hope might easily be realized, for the whole first string (except Glenda) will be back next year, riot to mention also the strong second team. Therefore, the girls have warned Miss Gurney to find a photographer and a picture-frame for the W. S. S. A. champs of 1958. INTERFORM As usual, we had very successful Interform Basketball leagues this winter. Over 100 games were played and 290 girls participated. The inter¬ form games, which were played at noon and after school, were ably directed by the two student supervisors, Marg Sparling 12A, and Shiela Tyler 11D. Each team in the Senior League played 8 or 9 games in the regular schedules, and the top four teams entered the play-offs. In a thrilling final game 13A defeated 12A to win the Senior pennant. At assembly, the 13A captain, Marilyn Ellis, re¬ ceived the pennant for her class, and each member of the 13A team received an Interform Basketball patch. (Patches are awarded to each girl who played at least one-half the regular games.) Some of the outstanding players in the Senior league were Sandra Mills, Marilyn Lynds, Joanne Zuk, and Gail Barnden. In the Grade 10 League, the competition proved to be very keen, each team playing a total of ten games. After tie scores, and one-point winning games, the following qualified for the play-offs: 10D, 10E, 10C, and 10F. The champions and pen¬ nant winners were the girls of 10F, captained by Joan Dewit. Among the many promising athletes were Carol Boughner, Judy Hryniw, Ruth Mc- Kettrick, and Judy Kropie. The Grade 9 League began a few weeks after the others. Although many of the players had never played basketball before, they soon were dribbling the ball down the floor and looping baskets like veterans. In the final game, 9H (captain, Joan Morency) defeated 9G (captain, Patty Fredericks) to win the pennant. Miss Gurney was pleased with the outstanding possibilities of Sandra Simons, Donna Wright, Mary Gorman, and Ann Whetstone. Over fifty girls assisted in making this a success¬ ful season by refereeing, timing, and scoring. SENIOR BOYS The senior boys’ basketball team had a very successful year. A fast-breaking team with lots of hustle, it fought its way to third place in the stand¬ ings and a play-off berth in the semi-finals. The scoring end of this year’s team lay on the shoulders of the three outside men—Captain Larry Karpiuk, Gord Law, and Jim Johnston. While they supplied the punch, Chuck Hickson, Jim Leishman, and Paul Payne set them up. Chuck, Jim and Paul improved with every game, and by mid-season they were proficiently clearing the back-boards and doing their share of the scoring. Although Forster was outclassed in scoring power, it was not outclassed in spirit and Forster went down in defeat fighting. JUNIOR BOYS Forster Collegiate is staging a comeback. Our Junior Boys’ Basketball team fought their way into W.S.S.A. Basketball League playoffs, gaining second place in their division. The team had a slow start but in their later endeavours were successful in winning five out of six games.

THE SPARTALOGUE — 1957 Page Forty-Nine Hockey The hockey team completed its ten-game sched¬ ule without chalking up a point in the standings, but it came up with some very good games. The boys were edged out of a victory by such teams as Assumption (4-1) and Walkerville (3-2). The only team that showed complete control over the Spar¬ tans was the undefeated Lowe Vocational six who walked over the rest of the league with comparative ease. Ray Garvey, Lloyd Lesperance and Jerry Wise¬ man shared the duties of goal tending. Bob Hricko- vian, Jim Cruikshank, Cliff Tessier, Richard Taylor, Wayne Hutchinson and Cal Niskasari were the top goal getters. Working on defence were Ron Tessier, Bruce Stubbington, Grant Wilson,- and Bob Sir- dashney. The team, captained by Cal Niskasari and co¬ captained by Cliff Tessier, proved that it had great potential and would be one of the leading contend¬ ers for next year’s title. SWIMMING Continued from Page 45 Cross Medallion, and, in the senior class, twelve girls obtained their Silver Medallion. All the girls would like to thank Mr. Mallender who so kindly accepted the job of examining the candidates. BOYS Swimming is fast becoming one of Forster’s most popular sports. Under the capable supervision of Mr. Mallender and the other physical education teac hers, a real spirit of competition has sprung up. In the senior division of the boys ' inter-house swim meet, Omega house emerged victorious with a score of 41 points and Beta house captured 24 points to place second. Leading swimmers in this senior division were Roger Damore, Jack Wayne, Bill Hopps and Wayne Hutchinson. Competition was exceedingly keen in the junior division, with Gamma House amassing 36 points to top the league. Delta House trailed them by one point. However, since Gamma did not have the required entry points. Delta claimed the champion¬ ship. Forster was well represented at the W.S.S.A. meet two weeks later. For the first time, Forster boys entered the diving competition and Ted Moores took a second in the junior diving and Roger Damore a third in the senior division. Fine performances were turned in by Paul Mitchell who won a first in the junior breast-stroke, John Muir, Sanford Schen, Charles Stickley and Stan Fraser. Scoring for Forster in the Senior division were Cal Niskasari who took a second in the breast-stroke, and Jack Wayne, Roger Damore, Bob Hrickovian, Doug Long and Tom Steel, each winning third place. W. S. S. A. BASKETBALL Continued from Page 46 On the opening night of Assumption Collegiate’s new gymnasium, the powerful Forster squad proved their strength by beating the otherwise undefeated Assumption team. In the very thrilling playoff game, the Spartans were beaten by Kennedy Clip¬ pers by four points. The team’s victories were sparked by Captain Whit Tucker, who was the second highest scorer in the interschool league. Among the promising pros¬ pects for next year’s Junior Boys’ Basketball team are Barry Pepper and Andy Small. JUNIOR B Boys who are especially interested in basketball but need a little seasoning before they become a part of the Junior basketball league are afforded an opportunity to play, and thus improve their skills, by becoming members of the Jr. B team. Under Mr. Courtney’s coaching, the Jr. B’s played against teams from Kennedy, Assumption, Patterson and Lowe. Whether in practice or in competition, they got on the basketball floor twice a week during the season and thus began to master the art of passing, dribbling, guarding and scoring. INTRAMURAL BASKETBALL Good sportsmanship and plenty of spirit were displayed during the intramural basketball season as the newly-organized House League system went into effect. The school had three leagues, each com¬ posed of six teams. In the Grade 10 league, a hectic season was com¬ pleted as Beta house won over Omega. Action in the Grade 9 league was halted when Kappa house defeated Beta in the playoffs. To end the senior division season. Alpha house won over Gamma. Taking an objective look at this system, we can see that future school teams will benefit by this year’s contributions to the House League. Grade nine and ten players, such as Bill Pitt, Barry Pep¬ per, Andy Small, Doug Cowan, Phil Meretsky, and Gerald Fathers, have showin definite promise and ability to handle important positions, and we expect to see great things from them in the future on Forster teams. Certainly, credit belongs to Mr. Heaton, who organized the interform basketball activities.

VOLLEYBALL Continued from Page 45 GRADE 10 With the great number of Grade 10 classes this year, the schedule was very exciting. In the semi¬ finals, 10C defeated 10B, and 10D beat 10E. In a thrilling final game, 10C (captain, Grace Le Blanc) beat 10D (captain, Sharon Parker) with a score of 20-14. The following girls are among the promising athletes in Grade 10: Laura Blute, Pat Murdoch, Lois Matheson and Brenda Belcher. GRADE 9 Volleyball was a new game to many in Grade 9, but in no time at all the girls displayed growing enthusiasm, and keen competition. With the help of senior coaches, the nines showed a great deal of improvement as the season progressed. After defeating 9B (captain, Pat Evon) with a close score of 24-21, 9G (captain, Pat McGuinness) came out on top. Their coaches were Diane Dodds and Marilyn Liebrock. PUBLIC SPEAKING Continued from Page 28 Other Lands,” Barbara Powers of 10D received honourable mention. Helen Kolinski, Esther Appel, and Patricia Maddison also took part in the contest. Miss Ham and Miss Mitchell, who coached the speakers, are directly responsible for the fine show¬ ing by all the speakers. Under Mr. Haines’ able guidance, seven boys took part in the junior boys’ competition. Jim Silcox of 9A, who delivered a very fine speech on the origin and influence of “Money”, placed first. Milan Crepp of 10B earned second place with his speech about “Oriental Religions”. Adding their talents to the keen competition were Dick Riseborough, Stan Fraser, Norbert Bellaire, Edward Hyttenrauch, and Sanford Schen. Page Sixty “THE SPARTALOGUE” — 1957 13A Reporters—Valentina Tritjak Tom Shannon June is just around the corner and we all know that soon we will be parting and going our separate ways. In the future we will reminisce with many happy memories of our days in 13A. We will never forget the brilliant demonstration in chemistry class by professor Gordon Law and assistant Jerry Brumpton, when their sodium exploded, leaving brown spots to grace the ceiling. Lloyd Cochrane’s ardent love for French is well recognized by Miss Scarfone who invariably asks him to translate such sentences as, He never does his work, does he, Lloyd? We hope that Miss Scarfone’s prediction that Tom will get 33 1 3% in French has finally deterred him from borrowing a little cutie’s homework. Bruce Wightman ' s interpretation of I would have you sober amused Miss Munnings and her wide-awake English class as he answered brightly, Does that mean he never touched the bottle? A memorable character is Howard Aitkenhead. When this hero arrives for his badminton matches dressed in bright plaid shorts, there is always a cheering section consisting of Neil Burgess, Dave Peach and a long-tressed lass to cheer him on to another victory. By the way. our hero’s car is surpassed by Hot-Rod Bean’s. Hot-Rod arrives on wet mornings saturated to the bone and wearing a newspaper rain coat. This year has been a memorable one in ether ways too. Thursday morning assemblies owe a great deal to Tamy r——-—- I i Border Press - ! - PRINTERS - . Cohoon and Jack Wayne who made all our announcements and helped to rouse school spirit. During Marilyn Lynds ' term as president of the Ecclesia, Forster acquired a new electrical score board which everyone will enjoy for years to come. We were proud that Jim Johnston was chosen as our representative to visit the U.N. and hope that in the future other deserving students will also receive such a privilege. A great deal of credit should go to Dave Moore who very ably managed the Forster Hockey team again this year, and to Ed Sorenson for lavishing his bright smiles on the grade nine girls. We are proud of Rosabel le Veighey and Jack Wayne, our orators who copped the honours for 13A in public speaking. Following the traditions of previous years, our undefeated girls won the senior interform basketball pennant. A great deal of this success was due to the guarding of Betty Makar, and the scoring ability of our captain, Glenda Atkins. Our class also played its part in school drama. Pat Dobson will be remembered for her violin playing, Valentina Tritjak for her excellent portrayal of the Walkerville Wolf”, and Philip Arber for his unfailing efforts backstage. One of the highlights of the year was the friendly get- together at the home cf Miss Munnings and Miss Gurney, both of whom certainly proved that the culinary art still exists. The evening culminated in a sing-song ably led by Marilou Dobson. All these activities have been part of a memorable school year, which, although it is coming to an end, will live on in our memories. ,22 128-132 FERRY STREET PHONE CLEARWATER 3-3951 WINDSOR — ONTARIO —j Compliments of BLOOMFIELD MARKET GROCERIES, MEATS, FRUITS AND VEGETABLES } 3578 BLOOMFIELD j Windsor, Ontario Phone CL 4-6174 L_ - - - | t WHITSON’S GARAGE I 140 AYLMER BUS.

Jerome: “No, the kid had it under his coat.” Dorothy Baston: Why are you eating the banana with the skin on?” Joan Howitt: “It ' s all right, I know what’s inside!” In Algebra class Dan Kay is trying to earn a million dollars by finding the square root of a negative number— 24 will be the Kay theory. Twelve B will probably produce some of the world’s great¬ est indoor baseball players. I don’t know how they will man¬ age with a ball and bat, but they really are tricky with a book and eraser. How about that, Kost Kouroumalos and Ken St. Clair ? Tom Steel: “What’s the name of that book you’r reading?” Marie McGuinness: What Fifty Million Women Want? Tom: Let’s see if they spelled my name right. Mr. Allan: Did you have the car out last night, Bob? Bob Allan: Yes, I took one of the boys over to the school.” Mr. Allan: “Well ask him if he left one of his dainty lace hankies in the car!” Slowly Mr. Brown secured his goggles, tightened his smock, put on his asbestos helmet, cautiously put his rubber gloves on, and laced his boots. Then he stealthily brought the con¬ centrated sulphuric acid closer to the explosive anhydrous phosphoric acid, and said defiantly: “Wayne Brown, come up and pour this stuff in here.” Marvin Woytowich: “I just had an operation and the Doc left a sponge in me.” Bob Goyeau: Do you feel any pain?” Marv: “No. but do I get thirsty.” Senior Commercial Reporters—Ruth Jenking Nancy Grondin Our class has had quite a record of falling during the past year. Strange things happen when Mrs. Ray isn ' t here. Gail Hamden and Joanne Sorenson accidentally fell into the pool with their clothes on. The water was so nice that they de¬ cided to stay there until the end of the period. Helen Silk fell while playing basketball in the gym; Barbara Conrick. Joan Beare and Ruth Jenking pick puddles to fall into: Jeanne Zuk had the biggest fall of all. She couldn’t sit down for two weeks after she fell on her skate at our snowy skating party on Turkey Creek. Lorraine Allen fell two days in a row. It must be love. Speaking of falling, some of our teachers fall for our tall stories. 12C had a hard time chewing sponge taffy and reading shorthand at the same time. Betty Holliday should know how to spell “Tch Tch” by now, after writing it out 100 times for Mr. Courtney. Dianne Dodds spent most of the winter in sunny Florida and discovered that she likes the leisurely life better than school.

Our swimming team, consisting of Jeannie Black, Julie Chmelnitzky and Jean Attwood, placed third in the senior division. Congratulations to Art Armstrong on his fine efforts in the public speaking contest. CLASSROOM CAPERS Since 11D students persisted in mumbling during English classes, Mrs. Sparling was forced to take drastic measures. Because our class is composed of only eighteen members it was possible for her to arrange us with an empty seat be¬ tween every two people. However, we are holding special Morse code classes to overcome this obstacle. We were honoured to have with us last autumn the Bienna Boys ' Choir under the direction of Professor Fred¬ erick Von Cockbain. They sang two verses of “Happy Birthday, Mr. Whetstone, the second verse of which began with the words “Won’t you please pass us this year . ' 4 Page Sixty-Six “THE SPARTALOGUE” — 1957 BEWARE! RADIO-ACTIVE MAN! Mr. Christie informs us that his newly prescribed medicine contains uranium. Nevertheless, we are glad to have you back and well again. Mr. Christie. The following is an excerpt from the pathetic files of Ter¬ rance Jenkins. Any resemblance to persons living or other¬ wise is definitely intended. There was once a KING who had a daughter named CHMELNITZKY. They often spent their summer HALLI- DAY ' S in DOUGLAS castle on the outskirts of the BLACK forest. One day while his beloved daughter played in an adjacent BEADOW the king felt a sudden PAINE. But he was head-strong as well as ARMSTRONG and forbade his queen Penelope ATTWOOD to call for help from a neigh¬ bouring serf LESPERANCE. Nevertheless, she sent her daughter for doctor DUFOUR who lived in the village of McINTYRE. However, she was too late. Friar MURRAY performed the last rites. The poor daughter cried so hard the servants had to CARTER away. Now the moral of this story is: If you suffer from heart burn, neuritis, lumbago and from writing class news, take “Lydia Pinkham’s Pink Pills for Particularly Pale People.” 10A Reporters—Laura Blute Jim Kotras The students of 10A thank the many people who made our assembly a success, especially student directors Caro! Boughner and Bill Bryce, and accompanist “Knuckles” O’Hickson. The girls in 10A dream of the day when they can sing their favourite songs to their favourite beaux. Laura Blute—Melody in F.

While these girls are singing, the fellows of 10A would be thinking of ways to spend the million dollars they will never have. Derek Virtue—Buy a new car. David Vegh—Invest in growing pills. Art Vass—Get new chemicals for his bombs. Jimmy Abbey— I’m going to spend it on my girl.” Stan Morgan—Buy some elevator shoes. Cliff Head—Buy some joke books Jim Kotras—Purchase new Hi Fi records.

Sharon Randall is very sedate And George Hardcastle is always late. Len Snider, in a constant daze. Awaits the summer holidays. Patsy Attwood is a shy little mite. She’s afraid that boys might bite. Milan Crepp is talented and humorous And Don Harrison ' s mistakes are very numerous. Christine Boyd at Algebra is bright We think she studies half the night. Our Ian Long believes the old saying A little learning is a dangerous thing . Judy Ouellette, our brunette dark. Is always happy as a lark. If complaints you have to make, Audrey Reeves is the girl at stake. Phil Meretsky is our basketball star: Paul Mitchell is the best swimmer by far. Mr. Heaton likes to tease And Elton Plant photographs all he sees. John Staddon never has a word. And Sandra Findlay can never be heard. Although these things are all in fun. Our 10B class is a happy one. Reporters—Dorothy Popovich Theresa Brunnelle WHAT A SMALL WORLD! A few months ago 10C held a contest for an all-expense paid trip to South America. Everyone entered, but of course only one person could win. The lucky winner, Lois Mathie- son, was really surprised and could not believe it at first. Soon the day came when Lois was to depart. She was to sail on the S. S. South American and her destination was Buenos Aires. Bill LaChance, the captain of the boat, wished Lois a pleasant journey. The next day Lois went to Irene Marshall ' s Beauty Shop. Here she had her hair done by Lynne Peters. While her hair dried, Lois decided to play shuffle-board, and to her amazement she met three of her school friends, Betty-Lou Fergus, Grace Le Blanc and Pris¬ cilla Deschaine, who were going to visit Betty ' s uncle, a plantation owner in Argentina. After a few weeks of sailing Lois reached Buenos Aires. She was driven to her hotel by Keith Faulkner, who spoke English fluently. In the lobby, she signed her name in the register and thanked Bob Morency, the manager, for the keys. Bob then rang the bell and Jerry Duda, the bell-boy. took Lois ' luggage to her room. The next evening Lois went to Eddie Noakes’ famous “Amazon Club” to have dinner and enjoy the entertainment. As she was eating, she saw Bev¬ erly Allen selling souvenirs. Lois stopped Senorita Allen and bought a few thin gs to take home to her friends. Then the show started. First came Ruth Bailey, the exotic Spanish singer, whose voice entranced everyone. Frances Welsh and Pat Parozanin did a fantastic juggling act. Finally, the Spanish dancing girls I Patty Ambrose, Jeannette Blanchette, Sally Lucier, Judy Hryniew, Patsy Kelly. Fern Casey, Mari¬ lyn McVittie. Dawn Smith. Joan Whitmarsh, Maria Will- mann and Theresa Brunellel, dressed in colourful blouses and flared skirts of blue, red and white, entertained. The next day. Lois went on a tour of the city in Tom Sharkey ' s Sight Seeing Bus. and then visited Gayle Bristol ' s well-known Tomali House for lunch. Here she met the cook, Margaret Bull, who was famous throughout South America for her cooking. Returning on the bus, Lois got acquainted with Helen Wakeford, who came from Detroit. Lois mentioned what a small world it was. After she left Helen, Lois prepared to have dinner at a very unusual Chinese Restaurant. It was a beautiful place, decorated with Chinese art. At the door she was greeted with a bow from the hostess Joy Jin. Lois enjoyed the food and entertainment to the fullest extent. All too soon her Page Sixty-Eight “THE SPARTALOGUE” — 1957 trip was over and she had to go home, sorry to be leaving such a beautiful country. On the boat coming home she met Joyce Mears and Ruth O’Hara who were coming from a trip to Chile, and Brenda Boutette and Dorothy Garrod, who were returning from a convention in Peru. The captain. Bob Sirdashney. wished her a pleasant journey home. When she finally reached home she called her friends Dorothy Popovich and Gerry Kipps and told them of her fascinating trip to South America. Don’t you wish you could have been in Lois ' shoes? 10D Reporters—Mary Holden Don Kribs WAVY-DAVEY” (With apologies to Rudyard Kipling and Mr. Mallender I We’ve fought with many teachers all the year.

Pat Scobie is feasting on the remains of her once-long finger nails. Bob Storey and Stan McLarty no longer indulge in their favourite pastime of making up convincing excuses for not doing their homework. The silky hair of Barbara White lies in shreds littering her desk. Jack Robinson chomps unenthusiastically on yesterday ' s gum. Chris Wilson and Frank Rock reluctantly lay aside the dice and mournfully contemplate the future. Somewhere in this hallowed school, students riot as gaily as ever. But not in 9H, for exam results have been posted! EPITAPHS FOR MARTYRED TEACHERS ' TOMBSTONES Mr. Whetstone: While pedaling his chain-drive Pontiac up a steep hill, he died of severe muscular cramps.

It was the day before the French exam and this conversa¬ tion was heard between Garry Reeves and Judy Hurt: Garry: Have you studied your French? Judy: Yes, I have. Garry: Well then, if you know your French, is nephew masculine or feminine? WHAT’S THIS Whoops of joy rebound throughout the riotous class. Art Renaud swings gleefully from light fixture to light fixture. Marilyn Sparkes floats enchantedly from desk to desk. Hula dancing seems to appeal to Mike Munro. Brian Vernon quotes some select words from his Russian Dictionary and slouches in his desk drawer. No sensible person would ask What s going on here?” For we all know. School’s out!!! 9H SPEAKS Before we leave we’d all like to say— We like all our teachers in a mighty fine way.
