GORDON BELL HIGH SCHOOL ROOM NOTES Room 1 l OOM 1 is second to none in academic proficiency, in sports and in the leadership which it has given to the student activities of the Gordon Bell School during the year 1932-33. The abilities of the boys have been displayed in many lines. Our President, Horton and his subordinate officers Grey and Green, have shown their executive ability throughout the entire term. Such scholastic leaders as G. Mclvor, M. Stewart and A. Holbrow, are worthy of mention. The Dramatic activities were supported in Room 1 with great enthusiasm, L. Grey, D. McKay and H. Lorimer taking active part in “A Midsummer Night’s Dream,” and A. Holbrow play¬ ing the leading role in “Dear Brutus.” Likewise, the room was well represented in the various School Choirs. first sport of have not suffered because of its many other activities.

GORDON BELL HIGH SCHOOL Room 15 @1 VNIFF . . . sniff . . . sniff . . . Ah! the chemistry lab. (nuff sed). Room 15 i has had a very successful year under the capable tutorship of Mr. Gow. The class executive is comprised of Jack Holloway, President; Don Hastings, Vice-President; Dave Goldstein, Secretary; and Don Best, Sports Captain. Whoa back! Who said we haven’t had a sporting year? The Gee Bees were supported by Holloway, Cohen, “Stonewall” Purdy, Fumie, and Simpson in their attempt to win the inter-high rugby championship. Woodsworth and McCallum (Seniors) and Holloway Best, and Little (Juniors) represented “15” on the school basketball teams. Room 15 has two sterling hockey players in Rowell and Syme, the popular puck-chasers of the Gordon Bell hockey team. Our room hockey team also de¬ serves credit for its splendid effort. The winning rinks of the inter-high Curling Bonspiel were skipped by two room fifteeners, Les Cohen winner of the primary event, and Claude Brereton winner of the consolation event. Holloway, McCulloch, Hastings, Purdy, Cohen, and Simpson deserve honor¬ able mention in the splendid efforts they set forth in the Inter-high Field Day. Then, too, we have our share of scholarship students. Jack Downing, Bill Lawson, Billy Gray, Dave Goldstein, and Edgar Markwart are likely prospects. Our Hollywood pupils have been deeply engrossed in their dramatic work. Furnie and Goldstein did excellently in our first play, while Barnes, Holloway, and Brinsmead did as well in “Dear Brutus.” However, considering all things together, we are really an excellent class, and as “genius borders on insanity” we are elated by the hope that therein lies the solution of all our difficulties. We have only to persuade the teachers of our genius and “the day is won.”
