GORDON BELL HIGH SCHOOL Room 2 m S ORE than likely some of you have heard about Room 2. We are the quiet, studious boys who stand around the main entrance gaping at the “Belles of Gordon” at 9 a.m. and 1.30 p.m. Our main boss is Mr. Lamont Our President is Norman Christie, while Gordon Hicks is his assistant. Ken Anderson, the ever-present, is our Secretary. Ken usually turns up with something new after collections for something have been made. At the first of the year we had a wiener-roast out in Fort Garry. It went over with a bang! In the winter we held a tramp, with eating and dancing taking place at the club-house of the Winnipeg Flying Club. Room 2 notables are:—Freddie Wood, speed-skater and runner; Don Whitely, swimmer; Hank Armstrong, football and hockey player; and Angus Robertson, basketball expert. Room 2 has a room paper, “The Vakyum Kleener,” which is published every once in a while, with a few dumb cracks and sometimes something humorous. At the first of the year we also had a “Daily Dirt,” edited by Len “Zunger” Reith, but Zunger and his “Dirt” soon crept off the bulletin board. It being a certainty that we will all pass, the Grade XI teachers are holding meetings to decide who will be the lucky one to get us as a class next year. Anyhow, the Grade X teachers will remember us as the best-behaved, best- mannered, quietest, and most diligent boys who ever graced the inside of a Grade X classroom. (If you believe the last paragraph, you can sure “take it”)
