Under the able supervision of Miss Bell, class teacher, and the room executive consisting of Jack Scorer, Presi¬ dent; Frank Dagg, Vice-President; Dick Anderson, Secretary; and Gordon Petrie, Sports Captain, Room 9 has proved its mettle. Our hockey, football, and basketball teams have been victorious in all Grade IX competitions, and have won many games against Grade X teams. A member of the room who has kept our name prominent in sports is Hugh Allan, goal-keeper for the school hockey team, and a member of the all-star high school team. Besides sportsmen the room possesses such budding Carusos and Tib¬ betts as Tom Daniels, Frank Dagg, Bob Forrest, and Roy McDonald, all members of the Male Voice and Mixed Choirs. Uniting with Room 10 we held three parties, all at the home of Bob Forrest, a classmate. These parties were a huge success, and we look for¬ ward to others before the holidays. The members of our class feel that they have had a very successful year with representatives in all school activities. Well, our allotted time is up. Room 9 is now signing off until next year. Your announcer is Donald Jackson, Room Editor.

ROOM 8 A Record of Momentous Events! S EPTEMBER, 1933.—With mobilization on all fronts there come to Room 8 various students from the Junior High Schools. With the General Staff consisting of Mrs. Laughland, Field-Marshal; Doug. Skead, General; Don Whitehouse, Second-in-Command; Nora Jones, Secretary of War, at the control, plans are drawn up for the year’s campaigns. The opening skir¬ mishes with Latin, French, and Algebra soon lead to the real battle. October and November.—The cold weather does not quell the students’ ambition. As activities develop on various fronts there are those who dis¬ tinguish themselves. One, Archie Glendinning, excels in sports and is elected boys’ sports captain; and another, Pat Loutit, the star skater, shares this honor as the girls’ captain. December.—Fierce engagements with cohorts of Algebra, Languages, and History, and counter-attacks by the students. Doug. Skead, Jim Hill¬ man, Ellen Deayton, and Archie Glendinning are particularly successful in beating off this common enemy and overcome the worst onslaughts of the Examination Battalion. “Twelfth Night” also needs the ability of White- house to make it a success and Room 8 enters the field of drama. January.—Back to school and we see many long faces. Mrs. Laugh- land is proving her worth in keeping the army well supplied with ammuni¬ tion (homework). February, March, April.—Other activities in the school. Music, or¬ chestra and choruses draw recruits from Room 8. May and June.—With the closing stages of the struggle the students hope to rise to new heights, both in the Exams and the Field Day. Thus Room 8 hopes to finish the scholastic term with colors flying and bands playing.
