GORDON BELL HIGH SCHOOL 21 Room 17 yfc’TTT CELL on your right is the home of Room 17, the famous class of £ boys who at the beginning of the year made the fatal decision and took V-, J both languages, Latin and French (brave lads!). Now, at the end of the year, they are still kicking, but have unanimously decided that if Latin is a dead language, it should have been buried long ago. And as for French— well, it’s all Greek to us! The president of Room 17, Bill Paterson, was ably supported throughout the year by Stuart Noble as vice-president, Garson Vogel as secretary-treasurer, and Ted Fleming as sports captain. Everything that it was possible to do in the way of school activities was done by Room 17, under the leadership of that great teacher, Mr. Warren! In our hockey team, which we entered in the Grade IX series, were:—Art May, Alfred Mansell, H. Johnstone, Bob Buckam, Ted Cohen, Glen Creba, J. Suther¬ land, E. Sutherland, A. McCarten, and Allan Laing. This team won three and tied one out of the six that it played. Throughout the winter months the room was divided into basketball teams, which played each other during the Physical Training periods, under the guidance of Mr. Warren. At the Grade IX stunt night Room 17 put on a short play, entitled, “Boadicea,” followed by our symphony orchestra, consisting of four mouth organs, two guitars, and a fiddle. Walter Zelechivsky helped out with a Russian dance, which was very acceptable. Last fall we got the bright notion that we would like to have a room news¬ paper; so Charlie Sara and Allan Laing were elected editors, and the paper started off right away under the name of “Nuff Sed.” Later we decided to change the name to “The Lyre.” Well, Room 17 has had quite a successful year, and we certainly hope that next year we shall all be together again to carry on through another year.
