GORDON BELL HIGH SCHOOL 25 Room 21 r vOOM 21—a room of boys worthy of praise. Our President, John Banner- 7 man, that tall, red-headed chap you will see in the hall, enjoyed due j popularity among his class-mates, and is undoubtedly headed for re-elec¬ tion next year, if he spends another term with us. Along with our Vice- President, Tom Hately, he has produced some splendid room harmony. Our Secretary is Gordon Sturrock, who has rendered excellent services as the “room financier.” Gordon has the unique ability to straighten his face from a smile to com¬ plete sobriety (when Miss Thompson asks who is fooling) in record-breaking time. (Does any record exist?) Our members tried their hands at athletics and, under the able leadership of Sports Captain Bill Beatty (member of Grade IX football team), we carried off the Grade IX inter-room basketball championship. The team, consisting of Norman Bailey, Bill Beatty, John Bannerman, Tom McGrath and Gord. Sturrock, showed splendid form, and if it keeps together, ought to carry off the Grade X pennant next year. Our representative to the “Elite” of the school is Neil Matheson, who, if he were as clever a scholar as he is a football player, would most certainly win all scholarships in sight. Preparing for “Stunt Night” with only a week’s notice was no cinch, but the boys “put it across” in fine style, and thoroughly deserved the applause they received. In conclusion, may we state that, throughout the year, aside from our studies, we have had a very enjoyable social and sporting acquaintance with each other and hope for another next year.
