GORDON BELL HIGH SCHOOL ROOM 17 R OOM 17 has been fortunate this year in having as a leader, Mr. Warren, who proved himself a good all-round sport, in other activities as well as studies. Being an “Eveless Eden,” Room 17 set to work in an unham¬ pered style and soon earned for itself a scholarly reputation, jf In athletics we started out by trailing two points behind the winning team in football. In basketball we started with a loss, but progressed into wins, finally culminating in a three-cornered tie, with Room 17 one of the best. Congratulations are due to the room on its great success in hockey. Room 17 went through the hockey schedule without a loss, and then finished up by beating the Grade XI team 7-6 to carry off the school championship! Just to give the boys the thrill of seeing their names in print, we will put down the names of the hockey players: Ted Fleming, Bill Edmondson, Douglas Trott, Olgeir Thorsteinson, Winston Bremer, Alec Taylor, Norman Mortimer, Winnie Wilkinson, Franklin Clarke, David Marshall, Art John¬ son. Congratulations, boys! F Perhaps our successful year is due, in a large part, to our fine execu¬ tive: Bill Edmondson, President; John Bannerman, Vice-President; Ted Fleming, Secretary; Douglas Trott, Sports Captain. Everyone of these boys fulfilled his position in a manner worthy of praise. Other notables of Room 17 are: Herbert Belyea, geometrical wizard; Syd Adams, who despite his hums and haws, is an ardent debater; Robert Stinson, who can straighten his face from a grin to a serious look in record- breaking time; Winnie Wilkinson, speed skater; Rudyard Waite, the “Grey Matter” of the class; Gordon Lough and Clifford Pink, basketball enthusi¬ asts; Lloyd Pierce, optimistic midget of the class; and Bert Wright, our melodic (?) saxophonist. Put in with these notables a group of boys raring to go, and what have you, aside from our studies? Just a real good social acquaintance!
