GORDON BELL HIGH SCHOOL 41 ROOM 22 ■fillHOOPS! Here we are! After you have waded through the somewhat dry and tedious notes which have gone before, we are sure that the news of our doings will prove a welcome change; so now everybody, Stop! took! and Read! while we attempt to give you an account of our school activities under the able leadership of Miss Hewton, with the help of Chrystabel Webb as President, Pat Litchfield as Vice-President, Irene |Covsky as Secretary-Treasurer, and Helen Halldorson as Sports Captain, llelen also became Girls’ Sports Captain for the school as well as a mem¬ ber of the volley-ball and basketball teams. I Aase Bratvold, our “Garbo,” represented us as “Olivia” in “Twelfth j ight,” and was also on the volleyball team. 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.

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.
