ROOM 21 ; the presidential ’ Thompson, ou. ;ry wise one. A TTENTION! Room 21 presents its galaxy of st£ hand of Mr. Simms, our casting director, han the greatest show in town. The principal actor is Butler Walker, who handles 1 reins to good effect, and co-starred with him is “Midge” 1 popular Vice-President—a very pleasing team, and a very i Then the villain! Enter Jimmy Williams, who deprives us of every! cent we have—if he can get it. His is a nasty job, but he performs it tel perfection. We’re all broke! Also featured is Jack Scott, whose task a;; Sports Captain is deeply appreciated. He almost steals the picture, so tel say, with his brilliant performance. Finally the comedian’s role is assumed by our Editor-in-Chief, Joe] O’Connell. With the “Wash” appearing regularly, the audience has a con i tinual source of amusement. The minor actors, namely, Bea Frederick (Girls’ Sports Captain), Earl] Johnson, Alexine McGarrol, Hugh Hawkins, Rhoda Jones, and the Ritchie] Twins all turned in notable performances. As in every picture, we have! the extras, without whom it would be impossible to produce our show. So much for the cast. The scenes move with quickfire action, typical of Room 21. Football finalists, volleyball champions, co-champs in girls’ basketball, ten players to the school teams, representatives in “Milestones”—all these, and many! others, make this a truly remarkable drama.

GORDON BELL HIGH SCHOOL ROOM 20 W ELL, well, at last you have come to the best Grade XI room in the school. We are controlled (?) by President Tom Jackson, Vice Don Clark, Secretary Harry Armstrong, Sports Captain Jack Wann, and last but certainly not least, Mr. McIntyre. , i Room 20 from the first has upheld faithfully the Gordon Bell tradition 1 “to take part in everything that we can, and to take our wins and our , losses like good sports.” Our soccer team won the Grade XI football, but . lost out to Room 14 in the school finals. In hockey our team lost out to the better teams from Room 15. The basketball squad, under Angie “Chink” j Robertson, won four games and lost four. Our school spirit is shown too by the fact that six members of the room played on the school hockey team, four on the rugby team, three on the junior basketball team, and three on the Grade XI speed skating team. This does not even mention the stiff competition we handed out to all rooms in the many ticket-selling campaigns. J In literary activities we were represented as follows: “Milestones”— Ken Young; “Twelfth Night”—Fred Wood and Tom Jackson. We also had several members in both the Mixed and Boys’ Choirs. In ending this account, may we say that we believe the best sport in the school is “Mac,” and that no matter where we go, in the years to come, we will always remember him for the brotherly and sportsman-like way in which he treated us.

I We have our share of musicians too, for we have three orchestra mem¬ bers in the persons of Joyce Cassidy, Eleanor Ward and Lillian Kluckner, :$ind numerous chorus members; in fact, too numerous to name. 1 Early in the term we had a successful weiner roast in Fort Garry and fater a hike, this time to Polo Park. | Our room paper, edited by Alma O’Neil, was appropriately named the ■‘Schreech Howl” in accordance with our mascot, “Oily the Owl.” “Oily,” ||vith Room 22, wishes to say good-bye, as this draws to a close our four years at Gordon Bell which will always be cherished in our memories as Sour outstanding years of our school life.
