Gordon Bell High School - Purple and Gold Yearbook (Winnipeg, Manitoba Canada)

Text from Pages 1 - 104 of the 1961 volume:

THE STUDENTS OF CORDON BELL HIGH SCHOOL PRESENT THE PURPLE AND GOLD A RECORD OF SCHOOL LIFE DURING 1960 - 1961 ?pectj-ully dedicate this uearhool to devoted SO iavin ' ucation vine ip ats Jfi ess age In the long and varied history of our school the year 1960-61 marks a most significant change. It is still known as Gordon Bell High School but it now in¬ cludes a large Junior High Section. This is a most important fact since now the high school section will be filled with students from our school, not, as in the past, from several Junior High Schools. This makes a notable difference since the students promoted to grade ten know the school in a way impossible for those of former years to know it,. Among other things they know more of the character and tradition of the school which is so important since an ideal to strive for is most desirable. During this first year of the new unit strides have been made towards uni¬ fication of the two departments. This progress is very gratifying and is due to several factors. Notably it is due to the co-operation of the two Student Councils and to the close co-operation of all the teaching staff. Necessarily this year book is different in some degree from those of the past yet it still tells vividly how our school has provided opportunities for aca¬ demic, cultural and athletic achievement. In producing this fine record of the first year of a new school the editorial staff is most warmly congratulated and deserves the sincere thanks of the entire school. It is certain that in overcoming the many difficulties that faced teachers and students in this new situation a pattern has been set which will assure an enviable future in the life of our school. C. S. Gow. Uice- r rincipa[ f ± JH essagre My thanks to the editor of the Year Book for extending to me the oppor¬ tunity of using this page to say to the principal, staff and students of Gordon Bell just how much I have enjoyed this year. As one of the newcomers to Gordon Bell I should like to compliment them for the way in which they have welcomed the additional teachers and students and through their kind interest and assistance melded us all into the new Gordon Bell School. With the addition of the junior high section, Gordon Bell has become one of the largest schools in Winnipeg. With this year of change and adjustment resulting in the well-integrated staff and student-body of today, the prestige of Gordon Bell will continue to increase with the years. Miss A. MacDonald. O. BORLAND P. KAMINS have them in the school office. uModianA- In every business and enterprise it is the “man behind the scenes” who keeps things well oiled and running smoothly. Gordon Bell’s “men behind the scenes” (and women too) Mr. Bruce, Mr. Malnyk, Mr. Boston, Mr. Hones and Mrs. MacRae, certainly are essential to the proper functioning of our school. They devote many hours in assisting students with all activities and all of us at the new Gordon Bell know how friendly and co-operative these men and women are. Gordon Bell is indeed fortunate in having these efficient custodians and we are honoured in extending to them the thanks of both the student body and the staff. D. ANDERSON A. BRADY G. BABCOCK J.

WOLOSCHUK The Yearbook staff of Gordon Bell at the end of this 1960-1961 year is proud to present the twenty-eighth edition of The Purple and Gold, our first publication recording the events and happenings of the “new” Gordon Bell. We are proud of our new school which is situated on the comer of Broad¬ way and Maryland, the site of the old Mulvey School. In the new building we have facilities such as were never dreamed of when the old Gordon Bell was built. Our laboratories are well equipped, we have a splendid new gymnasium, and our library has better accommodation for studying and projects. As well as being proud of our new school, we the students of the old Gordon Bell are pleased to welcome the staff and students of the Junior High, including Miss MacDonald as our new Vice-Principal. We hope the new members of our school will in the future be as proud as we are of the name Gordon Bell. In the pages of the 1960-1961 edition of the yearbook are recorded the efforts of students and teachers alike. We are proud of our graduates, our sports’ teams, our clubs, our works of art and literature. We trust that we who have been privileged to spend this first new year at Gordon Bell will find in later years much pleasure in the memories this yearbook will preserve. On my own behalf I should like to extend my sincere thanks to the members of the yearbook staff and representatives, our staff advisers—Miss Crook, Mrs. Brown, and Mr. Cramer—for all their hard work behind the scenes, the Hignell Printing Limited, and all our advertisers without whom this year¬ book would not have been possible. —Keith Simons resident’s yl tessagfe Another chapter in the history of Gordon Bell has been written and we, the students, have been the author of its paragraphs, contributing words and some¬ times even sentences through our various activities during the past year. Although the setting has been changed from Wolseley Avenue to Broadway Place the plot has remained the same, fine students contributing their efforts and achievements to a fine school. We of the old school have brought our memories and traditions with us and these have mingled with those of the students from Mulvey. Various individuals have distinguished themselves in athletics, music, and academics; but what they have added to our story would never have been possible without the story itself. For many of us the end of this year means the end of our stay at Gordon Bell, but for others this year has been but the beginning of their acquaintance. We leave our traditions and institutions in their hands, instructing them to cherish and maintain the Gordon Bell Standard. The students we are leaving behind will shape the destiny of our school as we in the past have done. It is their responsibility to see that Gordon Bell’s future is as rich as its past. On behalf of the students’ council I should like to express our gratitude to Mr. Gow, the members of the staff and the students without whose co-opera¬ tion and assistance we would not have been able to carry out our responsibilities. I should especially like to thank Anita Ross, your vice-president, Mr. Connell and Miss Flanders for their unselfish and unstinting assistance. With a deep sense of pride at having been a part of this school I congratulate my fellow students who have worked so hard to maintain the high standard that the name Gordon Bell demands. My sincerest wishes for success in your future endeavours. Colin Allan 10 EATON ' S - Th GORDON BELL HIGH SCHOOL 106O-1961 Barbara Fraser Keeping Young With Young Canada!

The elections were held late in October and Colin Allan was chosen president and Anita Ross was chosen vice-president. The student council consisted of the president and vice-president of each room in addition to the executive and met, whenever possible, on Day 6 at 3:30. At the first meeting held on November 4, Cynthia Trevenen was elected secretary treasurer and Mike Lasko was elected Club Director. The Frolics Committee, which is in charge of dances and other social events, was headed by co-chairman Lynne Dolan and Richard Langtry. Charles Ruddick was chosen to look after the sale of school rings and pins. A committee of three students, Bob Whitlaw, Brenda Craft, and Gerry Hannah was chosen to find a method of supervising the lunch-rooms. All the council members took turns being in charge of the lunch rooms. As its project for this year, the council decided to raise money to buy a new memorial. The proceeds from a coke dance, coat checking and the Variety Concert were put into this fund. A committee of students was appointed to work with a committee of teachers to assist in the designing of the memorial. Gary Zilkey was chosen as head of the Achievement Awards Committee. On behalf of Colin and myself, I would like to thank Cynthia Trevenen, Mike Lasko, Lynne Dolan, Richard Langtry, and especially our counsellors, Miss Flanders and Mr. Connell, for their help and co-operation throughout the year. 44 JPul QhivwA. The difficulties encountered in overcoming the confusion caused by a new and incompleted school building produced a delay in the commencement of all activities this year, including the publication of the Gordon Bell Chimes. The staff, however, has managed to produce five editions of the school newspapei. The problem of additional material created by the incorporation of the Junior High into G.B. has been solved by the use of a less expensive newsprint which has allowed for the publication of a larger newspaper. With the increase in quantity the staff has tried at all times to produce a corresponding increase in quality while still adhering to the fine traditions of former years. The majority of the staff members this year, including the editor, Marilyn Boyd, began with no previous newspaper experience. Marked enthusiasm was displayed towards the Chimes by many Grade X students, including such fine reporters as Emily Halderson, Darlene Nelson, Kathy Korol, Tanms Thurston, Zoya Pridchodka, and John Radley. Other reporters who distinguished them¬ selves for their reliable assistance throughout the year were Janet Muldoon, Bill Malcolm, and Ruth Jamieson. Mention must of course be made of the invaluable co-operation offered y the assistant editor, Charles Ruddick, the business manager, Bob Johannson, the circulation manager, Rees Jones, photographers. Carol Hunter atnd Jim Metcalf, typists, and room representatives. A special orchid is extended to our two sports editors, Carol Pisnook, Girls’ Sports, and Mark Hacksley. Boys Sports, both of whom did an excellent job covering the activities of all G.B. teams throughout the year. Particularly fine coverage was given to the valiant efforts of our football heroes. . . . The editor of the Chimes, Marilyn Boyd, would like to extend special thanks to Mr. Dorfman who has been most helpful in ironing out many problems, and to Bill Haluk whose knowledge of newspaper publication has been invaluable. 45 Cbhmna, lub This season the Drama Group was late in being organized, but by Christmas we had given three per¬ formances of A. A. Milne’s comedy “The Man in the Bowler Hat”. The cast included John Radley, Richard Langtry, Rick Maclean, Donna LeMere, Cynthia Trevenen, Andrew McArten and Bob Johannson. After Christmas the mood of the Club changed from comic to tragic. At the Variety Concert, the moving tragedy “Riders to the Sea” by Irish playwright J. M. Synge was pre¬ sented. The performance of such a drama was a great step forward for the students concerned. The cast included Anne Murphy, Les Mazure, Lena Jyrkannean, Darlene Oretsky John Ripley, Carol Loos. Much of the success of the pro¬ ductions throughout the year was due to the behind-the-scene afforts of Anita Ross, Greg Clark, David Langtry, Gisela Penner, Miss Kier- nan, Mr. Cramer, Miss LaBarge. The entire Drama Group wishes to thank Mr. Dorfman for his advice and guidance throughout the year. CuAJiunt GQfabiA. CM Under the sponsorship of Chief Speechly the Current Affairs Club has enjoyed a very successful year. Based upon the format of the United Nations the members have, we hope, increased their interest in world matters with their discus¬ sions on global affairs. President Seigmund Gnass and Secretary Jean Kemp kept the uneasy peace as best they could during the some¬ times heated discussions that en¬ sued. Topics ranging from the American Election to the Congo situation were discussed. Happily the Club has had a successful year and we wish our successors the same in the future. 46 (RsucL £adaa, (flub This year the Red Cross Club in¬ cluded girls from Grades 9 to 11. The Club has continued its volun¬ teer work at local hospitals, and as an additional project the members operated cloak rooms to raise funds for the Gordon Bell Memorial Fund. Under the leadership of President Barbara Cusitar and Secretary Norma Jacobson, the Red Cross Club has completed another year of service and dedication. The members would like to extend to Miss Flanders their thanks for her co-operation and assistance through¬ out the year. ChoAhu Club The Chess Club this year had a reasonably successful season. At the beginning of the year we elected our officers, President Robert Johan- nson, Vice-president Peter Spencer and Secretary Jim Aune. We held an intra - mural tournament and named Robert Johannson school champion. Our inter-high team con¬ sisting of Robert Johannson, Peter Spencer, Jim Aune and Ted Cow- tan placed fifth out of ten in the inter-high t ournament. Other than this some of our members have participated in other tournaments such as the Manitoba Junior and the Manitoba Open where although they didn’t win they were a credit to their school. All of us in the Chess Club, however, would like to give a big vote of thanks to Mr. Mutchmor who so kindly sponsored 47 JJisl J’AjoIul fommliJtejL The Co-Chairman of the Frolic Committee this year were Lynne Dolan and Richard Langtry. Our social season was curtailed on account of “no gym”. The opening dance in late November was the “Premier Panic” in keeping with the confusion the school was under¬ going. In December the Christmas Dance was well attended, at which we honored our Snow Queen. Two Coke Dances were held during the winter months. “Cupid’s Capers” in February brought 1961 social doings in with a flourish. The Annual Co- J hiL (Bowling Qlub The Bowling Club enjoyed a successful year in 1960-61. Under the guidance of Miss G. Martin and Miss E. Kiernan, assisted by Stu Henderson and Gerald Sidloski the Club was well supported. Sixteen teams participated every Thursday from 4.30 to 5.30 at the Saratoga Bowling Alleys. Some of the out¬ standing bowlers this year were Murray Heuchert, George Ferley, Barry Raeside and Gerald Sidloski. Here’s hoping it will be as success¬ ful next year! (BaJiitonsL QPwVl. This year the Baritone Choir under Miss Pottruff’s expert guid¬ ance took an active part in the Spring Concert as-well as in other events throughout the year. On this occasion the choir sang a rendition of John Masefield’s poem, “Sea Fever” by John Ireland as well as Seigmund Romberg’s composition “Stout Hearted Men.” The choir would like to extend their thanks to Miss Pottruff for her help throughout the year. 49 The efforts of the Mixed Choir, this year under the direction of Miss Pottruff, were mainly directed towards the production of a Variety Concert on May 3rd and 4th as well as participation in the Remembrance Day Services. The programme in¬ cluded such varied songs as “Send Her On Along,” “In Silent Night,” “Down by the Sally Gardens” and “Rocka My Soul,” a negro spiritual. JJxsl VYlbcsuL (fhoifL. This year the Girls’ Choir was comprised of students from Grades 10 to 12. As a result of diligent practice from October to April, the programme of song selections was well received at the Variety Concert. The programme included varied numbers such as “From the Green,” “Heart of the Waters,” “Pastoral,” “The Legend” and the “Song of Shadows.” pfkWm 01 mi m 4mmm ■ J ' oatbalL The Gordon Bell Panthers, 1960 edition started the season true to form. The defending champions walloped the Daniel Mac Maroons 19-0 in the Red Feather Tourna¬ ment. It was too much Panthers and too little Maroons. Led by John Kemp the Panthers scored two unconverted touchdowns and then added a converted major to even out the scoring. Majors went to Bruce McLean, Don La- Forte and John Kemp. Kemp also converted one of the touchdowns. The first league game of the season resulted in victory for the Purple and Gold. Here again the aerial attack proved to be the deciding factor. Kemp completed 7 out of 9 passes to lead Gordon Bell to a 26-7 victory over the Sisler Spartons. Tim Stratton pulled in two of Kemp’s aerials for two touchdowns and fullbacks Jim Kirkness and Don LaForte pulsed up on each along the ground. Two of the majors were converted by John Kemp. A goal line stand late in the fourth quarter climaxed a well played game. The second game of the season proved to be disastrous for the Panthers as they suffered a 13-0 set back at the hands of the Daniel Mac Maroons. Daniel’s defensive wall just couldn’t be penetrated by the Gordon Bell squad. The climax of the game came late in the first quarter as Daniel’s Dale Helgason broke through and galloped for a 101 yard touchdown. Phil LaBue rounded out the scoring when he picked up a Gordon Bell fumble and ran it back for a touchdown. Eager for winning the Panthers walloped the green shirts from Tech-Voc 23-0. Accurate passing by John Kemp resulted in two touchdowns. The first went for 22 yards to Tim Stratton and the second to Bob Whitlaw for 9. Kemp converted all three touchdowns. Late in the second half the Panthers nailed Tech for a safety touch thus finishing off the scoring for the night. Next time out the Panthers assured themselves of at least a tie for the fourth and final playoff spot by defeating the St. John’s Tigers 15-7. The scrappy tigers fought gamely, but they were no match for the Panthers. Kemp opened up the scoring by rambling 72 yards for a touch¬ down. Bob Whitlaw set up the next Gordon Bell touch¬ down. The Tigers came scoring back to score a converted touchdown. The outcome of the game was very much in doubt until Whitlaw caught Tiger’s Casey Rocznich in the St. John ’s end zone for a safety touch. The Panthers continued their winning ways defeating St. Paul’s Crusaders 14-7. It was an alert St. Paul’s team that took the field against the Panthers. Time and time again they successfully defended against Gordon’s passing attack. Because of the first quarter Jim Kirkness dashed ' Sifidim, jisdL (panttwiA, 37 yards through the line and scored the first touchdown. The Crusaders began a determined drive and it wasn’t till they were deep in their end zone that the Panthers finally stopped the Crusaders. Early in the second period John Fisher recovered a St. Paul’s fumble and thus set up Gordon’s second major of the night. Don LaForte crashed the right side of the Crusader line and rambled for a touchdown. St. Paul’s lone touchdown came later in the last quarter when the Gordon line finally weakened and cracked. Late in the fourth quarter White was rouged on Kemp’s deep punt to round out the scoring. In their next encounter Gordon Bell was matched against their old rivals Kelvin. Gordon Bell drew first blood as Kemp booted for a single which was set up by a 44 yard pass from Kemp to Stratton. Minutes later Gary Zilkey recovered a fumble on the Kelvin 32. On the next play Kemp fired a 28 yard pass to Bruce McLean. From there Don LaForte crashed over for a touchdown. The first quarter ended 7-0 in favour of Gordon Bell. John Trojack’s magnificent punting was the deciding factor in the battle. Twice he booted the ball into the Gordon Bell end zone for singles. A bad snap from centre set up Katies winning touchdown. Kemp got his kick away but it only regained the yards lost on the snap. Trojack and Tazawk took turns slamming away at the Panther’s defensive line and Trojack finally broke through from seven yards out. The gun sounded and the 8-7 defeat left Gordon Bell in third place behind Kelvin and Daniel McIntyre. In the semi-finals Gordon was matched against the Daniel McIntyre Maroons. Early in the quarter the Maroons forced the Panthers to kick and then returned the punt 36 yards. On the Dannies first play from scrim¬ mage Dale Helgason burst over right tackle and raced 49 yards for their first touchdown of the night. Late in the second quarter Gary Geubert’s punt got away from Bruce McLean and Phil LaRue recovered. Three plays later Yoshino made the score 12-0. Relying on the strong punt¬ ing leg of Gary Geubert, Daniel added two more singles in the third quarter to come out on top by a score of 14-0. The defending champions were defeated. It was silent in the dressing room after the game. The Panther’s 1960 edition played their last game as a unit. It was a good year for the Panthers. They had played well as a single unit and provided some of the most exciting high school football ever seen. There were many standouts both in the backfield and on the line. But it wasn’t only the individual stars who made Gordon Bell the team it was. It was the whole team, under the able guidance of Mr. Anderson, who put up such a fine showing. We’re all very proud of you. Well done team! QhR MsjoudsiJiL. Gordon Bell has a pert squad of twelve girls and—something new this year—a mascot—to lead the school in cheering the Panthers on to victory. The two leaders this year, Lynne Dolan and Anita Ross, the only returnees from last year’s group, taught the girls the cheers and everyone learned them within a short time. These purple and gold clad girls were out at every rugby game regardless of rain, cold or snow. The Cheerleaders were also present at all the Varsity basketball games to do their best, along with the team supporters, to cheer the boys on to victory. This group of girls have certainly been a credit to the new Gordon Bell and we hope that they will continue to be so next year. jAadc J ' hdcL For the second time in as many years Gordon Bell has participated in the indoor track meets. Under the able guidance of Miss Morton, Miss Johnson and Mr. Anderson, many students participated in this sport. Daily groups of students would be seen running in the halls in the morning, at noon-hour and after four making ready for the first track meet. Time trials were held in Minto Armories and many Go rdon Bell teams qualified to run in the Indoor Track Meet January 20, at the Winnipeg Arena. Gordon Bell gave a good account on its behalf. In March Gordon Bell again participated in the indoor track meet at the Arena. Again Gordon Bell students proved that they could be counted on for a good showing. Again Gordon Bell was brought into the limelight, this time by the speedskaters. With a tremendous showing Gordon Bell triumphed over all other high schools. This success can be attributed mainly to the daily noon hour prac¬ tices, the excellent calibre of skaters, and our coach, Mr. Solar. The two girls’ relay teams placed first and third, while the boys’ teams placed fourth due to un¬ fortunate spills. To Mr. Solar, who made it pos¬ sible for us to enter the competition, who dropped a few hints on how to improve our skating, and provided excellent chauffeur service—a big thank you from all the speedskaters. The girls first team for the second year in a row placed first in the city finals. 54 jMAkmjarL SojcjcWl This year the most important team in the school was changed from a Junior to a Freshman classi¬ fication. After numerous practices, and exhibition games against the Junior High teams, the Gordon Bell freshmen entered their league, the South Division. This division con¬ sisted of four teams: Churchill, Grant Park, Kelvin and Gordon Bell. The first league game was played against Churchill on their home grounds. The guest team came away with a close 1-0 win. The second game was against Grant Park at the Technical - Vocational school grounds, again, Gordon Bell came away on the long end of the score 2-1. The third game was against Kelvin. Here, the locals snowed Kelvin under by an 11-0 margin, although playing on Kel¬ vin’s grounds. As they won their league Gordon Bell entered the semi-final. At River Heights Gordon Bell came from behind to take a 3-1 victory. In the final game Gordon Bell met St. John’s, at Tec-Voc. Both teams battled to a 0-0 tie in overtime However, in the rematch the much bigger opponents came away with a 7-0 win on the same grounds. Just the same it was a most suc¬ cessful season for Mr. Speechly’s Freshman Soccer team. S fUOt SojOCCA, The senior soccer season got un¬ derway early in September. All the practices were held at the Techni¬ cal-Vocational school grounds with approximately seventeen boys vying for the starting eleven positions. The team, coached by Mr. Bothe, was in the south division. This division consisted of four teams: Grant Park, Churchill, Kelvin and Gordon Bell. The senior footballers played their first game against Grant Park. Gordon Bell took the lead when the Grant Park defence kicked the ball into their own net. However, the Gordon Bell defence duplicated the feat and this added to a Grant Park goal made the score 2-1 in favour of the latter school. In their second league game at Churchill, Gordon Bell was soundly beaten by a strong squad from Churchill 6-0. The third and last game of a brief season was played against Kelvin on their home grounds. This match was similar to the first when Kelvin scored on themselves. However, Kelvin won by a 2-1 margin. Although they fail¬ ed to score a goal on the opposition, the Gordon Bell aggregation enjoy¬ ed themselves, as did their coach. 55 JhsAkmavL (BaAkfdbalL UaMih fia JvdbalL This season has been the most successful one since varsity basket¬ ball originated at Gordon Bell. In their first game of the season the Panthers walked over an unorgan¬ ized Churchill squad by a 64-21 score. The second game was a different matter as Gordon just managed to squeeze by Daniel 38-35. Travelling to Elmwood, G.B. played a fine game and walked out with a 68-37 victory. Gordon had to come from behind a twelve point margin to beat Tech Voc by 46-35. The Kelvin-G.B. game proved to be a real thriller and this time G.B. came out on the short end of a 51- 49 score. The game against Sisler proved to be a tough battle. This time Gordon had to come back from a 16 point deficit to beat the Spartons 46-43. The Grant Park game proved to be no match as Gordon walloped their opponents by a 88-28 score. Thus Gordon advanced to the semi-finals against Kelvin. This series proved to be very close but Gordon managed to walk away with a 101-82 score. This was a two game total point series score. This victory put Gordon in the finals against Daniel Mac. Daniel won the first game, just squeezing by with a 43-42 victory. Now the stage was set for the second game. Before a capacity crowd of about nine hundred stu¬ dents, G.B. went down to a 50-41 defeat. Thus Daniel won the series winning two out of three games. All we can say is congratulations fellows for a job very well done. We’re all proud of you. The freshman team opened the season with a bang. Their first game matched them against Churchill’s team and the G.B. squad rolled to an easy 35-17 victory over the blue shirts. However, in their second game against Daniel Mac, the shoe was on the other foot as the power¬ ful “Daniels” romped to a 40-14 win. Accurate shooting on Daniel’s part and poor defence on G.B’s. part proved to be the deciding factor. The following week G.B. travelled out to Elmwood, but here, also, they ended up on the short end of a 33-21 count. The Tech-Voc game proved to be Gordon’s best effort of the season. Playing as a unit for perhaps the first time in the season, they put on a great show. But the score at the end of the game read 50-33 in favour of Tech. Gordon almost won their second game of the season, but three last minute points by the Katies, sent them to a 30-27 defeat. The Sisler game proved to be no match as the powerful Spartans waltzed over G.B. by a 44-26 score. The team ended the season on a sad note as they were beaten soundly by Grant Park 50-28. Better luck next year! 56 (JaA ih (JolkijbalL For the second time in as many years G.B. has entered a team in the volleyball tournament. This year Gordon Bell hosted the tour¬ ney. Eight teams divided into two divisions took part. In their first game G.B. was matched against Elmwood. Inability to spike cost Gordon the game and they ended up on the short end of a 15-6 score. Next day Gordon was matched against Grant Park and Kelvin. Flawless play at the net and desire proved to be a tonic and G.B. beat Grant Park 15-8 and 15-1. Although Elmwood had won the division Gordon took the floor and beat Kelvin 15-3 and 15-9. It seems too bad that the one bad game that the boys played cost them a spot in the playoffs. Congratulations to Mr. Mutchmor and the boys for a job well done. JhsL SwiwL tfluJb A meeting was held in the fall and the response was so great that the Swim Club was forced to split up into two sections. Joe Mitchell was re-elected for a second year as over-all President of the Swim Club. Under Joe in the Senior High divi¬ sion was Allan Dahlberg, President and Clayton J. Yeo, Vice-President, while in the Junior High Division Carolyn Cooper was elected Presi¬ dent and Motria Haywoski, Vice- President. A great deal of thanks must go to the sponsoring teachers of the Swim Club. These are: Mrs. Macintosh, Mrs. Babcock, Mrs. Brown, Miss LaBarge, Miss Johnson, Mr. Brady and Mr. Moore. A vote of thanks is directed to Ted Cowton who gave up a great deal of his time to help instruct the Junior High members unable to We trust the smooth operations of the Club will continue in future years. 57 (Ba kjdbalL The Senior team started competi¬ tion this year during the Christmas holidays in the St. James Invita¬ tional Tournament. They defeated Silver Heights in their first game and this enabled them to advance to the final. Unfortunately though, they lost to St. James by a narrow margin of four points. During the season they played several other exhibition games against Vincent Massey and Westwood winning all of them. In the league they began by beat¬ ing Grant Park by a decisive margin. They lost to Daniel Mac and St. John’s but came back strongly in the latter part of the league to defeat Churchill, Elm¬ wood, Kelvin, Sisler and Tec-Voc. This record of six wins and two losses gave them a tie for second place. The Senior team would like to take this opportunity to thank Miss Morton for all the time and effort she put in coaching us. (JimwA. (BaAksdbalL Jqjcwl This year the girls’ junior basket¬ ball team started the season by losing an exhibition game against Miles MacDonell’s combined junior and senior team. We then began our schedule with a loss against Grant Park by a slim margin of four points. We failed to win our second game at Daniel Mac., but continued on to defeat Churchill 29-10. Pro¬ ceeding through the schedule, we played against Elmwood and St. John’s and were victorious. With raised spirits we met Kelvin and Tec-Voc, but were unsuccessful in defeating either team. This com¬ pleted the season. We would like to take this oppor¬ tunity to thank Miss Johnson for her help at the beginning of the year and to give special thanks to Miss Morton for teaching and coach¬ ing us during the season. 58 Qwuia. (JnUsujbalL The junior girls’ volleyball team was coached this year by Miss Morton, a new-comer to Gordon Bell. The first game of the season was played against Tec-Voc, who beat out Gordon Bell, 49-40. Losing this game, Gordon was determined to win the next game, in which they beat Churchill High school, 64-45. Still determined to win, they beat out Daniel McIntyre, 44-42, but were not so fortunate in the next game in which Elmwood High won, 52-47. With a stroke of bad luck they lost to Sisler and Kelvin, also. In winding up the season, the girls defeated Grant Park High and St. John’s Tec. On behalf of the team, we would like to take this opportunity to thank Miss Morton for all of her time and effort which she put into coaching this group of girls. SsmifA, SviIa! (JolhijhcdL This year the Senior girls’ volley¬ ball team got off to an early start around the middle of September. The first few weeks of practice were outside when the weather permitted and also at Mulvey. All of the home games were played at Mulvey because the new gym was not completed in time. Most of the league games were scheduled double-headers along with the Junior team. In their first encounter they were defeated by Tec-Voc but redeemed themselves by winning over Churchill, Kelvin and Grant Park. However, they had to concede a heart-breaking defeat to Sisler in their next game. Against Daniel MacIntyre and St. John’s the girls displayed some fine teamwork and were victorious in both contests. Unfortunately, they lost to a hard fighting Elmwood team and thus were excluded from the play-offs. On behalf of the team. I would like to thank Miss Morton for such an able coaching job with this group of girls. 59 Without any question Room 18 2 were the pre-season favourites. With two ex-varsity players on the team, how could they lose. But Room 20 proved to be “the team to be beaten.” They beat Room 19, and 25 in handy fashion to advance into the “knock out finals.” Mean¬ while Room 18 walked over all their opponents in handy fashion. For a while it looked as if the teaching staff might walk off with the title but their bubble soon burst. Room 18 finally won the championship by playing their consecutive games in two days against the school’s three top teams. Eventually Room 18 went Basketball Championship” and came back victorious. The winner of the Grade X league was Room Congratula¬ tions to the both winners. 9nJtsA.-JijoonL (JolkijJbalL This year as in the past the league was divided into two divisions, the Grade X and Grade XI XIX. The first few games determined Rooms 19, 25 and the staff to be the three best teams. As the season progress¬ ed Room 19 “Golden Bears” ran neck and neck with the teaching staff. Room 25’s hopes were dashed when they were soundly beaten by Room 19. Next Room 18 tried their luck but they were also beaten by Room 19. The big game came when the staff played Room 19 for the school championship. Before a capacity crowd of 400 the “Golden Bears” came back from a 7 point defeat to tie and beat the teachers by a 19-15 score. Thus Room 19 captured the XI XII division while Room 26 captured the X di¬ vision. Congratulations to the win¬ ners of both divisions. 9nJtsiA,-(RnDML (Ba JudbaiL Soj l 5 - B.

Janet Muldoon JomfisL t A flash of lightning! A crack of thunder! And the whole earth trembles As if it would be torn asunder By a superhuman force that man knows not. Then the only noise in a dark silent night Is the howling wind as it whistles through Shuddering trees, whose ghostly forms Are suddenly whipped and tossed As if thrashed by some invisible hand And then—are still again. And with a second blinding flash of brilliance Which lights the night so that one can see Dark clouds hiding a moon that isn’t there, Comes another bursting roar That suddenly breaks the heavens open. And the rain falls and falls and falls. Earthen paths become flowing streams, And tiny brooks are filled with cascading torrents Which sweep away leaves, plants, tiny insects, all! A hideous rumble warns That another thunderous clap is coming. It crescendos until it can grow no louder And with one mighty outburst of sheer violence The sky is emptied! Once more the earth reels Under a vicious attack by countless tiny arrows of water That disappear into nothingness upon striking the ground. Then—it stops! The sky softens and dawn brings with it A cool breeze and misty white sun shining Through a grey shield of thin cloud. The morn is quiet, sombre, and motionless. The tempest has subsided And the weary world rests after the night’s encounter. Mark Hacksley, Rm. 25, Grade 12 JMa JjmoL j WAml Prairies of Canada — thou land of prosperity and light! Across the West thou shinest in thy freedom’s glory! Burning topaz, the infinite grass-lands sweep A path of homage towards God’s feet. Billowing gladness of sunlit wheat: The saffron seed-stems laugh out loud, joyously, dazzlingly, Shimmering, rippling, swaying in breeze-flipped happiness—a sight Golden enough to set the beholding heart a-dancing with delight! Spires of wheat towers stand stark and constant, Piercing an exuberant sapphire-slashed dome Filled to bursting with freedom’s hopefulness, Implanted on the prairies’ sturdy loam. In the stark grimness of a wretched winter’s cold The prairie wastes lie silent, deathly white and glittering. The soil’s one valiant, the farmer, wreaked gaunt and old By toil and tears, sees the hoar-clad mice and hares rush, skittering Across the slumbering, chilling plain. The agate sky-disc variegates with wan and feeble tenderness The hazed veneer of delicately swirled ice, and the homeless wind Howls loudly, then dies, to moan again with cries of tragic mournfulness, In the endless desolation, in this glacial creation, scourging the mind Of the farm folk, languishing for spring. The spring, bearing in caressing hands, warm breezes, Blissful budding, glad green sprouts eager for the sun Of May, whose radiant gaiety melts winter’s freezes — On the prairies, springtime and jubilation are one. This golden place called beauteous — This is the land that God and I call home!

But it was once like the golden apples That the Hesperdies guarded night and day. “Too old to work and earn his keep” They said as they departed. Once a year they come to see him On Father’s Day, or is it Christmas? He has forgotten. But does it really matter? Sometimes, tears fill his dimming eyes. So-called friends pass by, casting a brief glance his way. Now it’s evening. The sun is setting. How many days since he last spoke to them? But his silent prayers have at last been answered. The young folk are at supper, but he sits. No food will ever pass his lips again. He sits and stares into space.

The lamp was lit. Its unfed dimness stained its sur¬ roundings with formless shadows which, as the cotton per¬ formed its capillary duty, soon assumed mild distinction. On attaining the limit of its illumination, the lamp reveal¬ ed a small room, newly constructed. The southern extrem¬ ity of this rectangle was furnished with only the essential cuisinal facilities: an aluminum basin which served as a sink presently harbouring five unwashed cups and greasy plates, a portable two-burner gas stove whose flames now heated an already boiling coffee pot, and an almost empty cupboard. At the northern end of this room stood a large electronic computer whose importance had acquired it complete access to the diminishing power supply. Two blanket-strewn cots stood against the side walls. A cen¬ tral wooden table concluded the rectangle’s furnishings. On the table the lamp illuminated a three day old “Times” date October 22, 1961. Its wrinkled headline still maintained its boldness and its story its distinctiveness “World at Crisis Geneva (WP) — The world today is hovering on the brink of a nuclear war. The peace talks between the two major world powers taking place in Geneva for the last five days came to an abrupt and turbulent end today. After having spent two and one half hours of their sche¬ duled three hours in conference, the delegates from both countries stormed out of the conference room shouting and hurling accusations at each other. Within minutes of their exit, each was threatening war against the other and both were accepting the challenge. None of the dele¬ gates would give a statement and the reason for the vio¬ lent disagreement could not be learned. The ipeace talks.” Thus, it had been three days since the tiny dimly-lit room had been constructed on its present ground. It had been seventy-two hours since the terrified world’s most modern and efficient electronic computer had become the room’s main tenant, a machine reputed capable of solving in seconds any problem in the universe. It had been four thousand twenty minutes since the world’s six most learn¬ ed men associated with the problem of the threatening nuclear war had commenced the tedious task of teaching the machine their total knowledge, two hundred fifty-nine thousand two hundred seconds since the machine had been expected to solve the problem man could not. The computer’s education was now complete. The starving flame of the lamp revealed six shadows encircling the machine. The largest of the waiting shadows carefully fed the problem into the thin crevice. Then followed twenty-one tensely expectant seconds while the computer laboured, sifting its newly acquired knowledge for the answer. Dr. Adams accepted the ejected card from the machine. He held it to the quivering lamp and read over the rims of his greasy eye-glasses. He slowly whispered to his col¬ leagues the answer for the salvation of mankind. “Thou shalt not kill.” Christopher Kowal, Rm. 25 66 (Rnbohu Rugart materialized, dropped six inches to the grass, and began striding down the hill toward the small struc¬ ture that nestled at the bottom. As he approached the building, he was able to see in the yard a lone man sit¬ ting in a chair, reading. “This,” thought Rugart, “is as good a place to begin as any.” Cautiously, Rugart sent a beam of thought towards the figure in the chair. Usually when telepathic contact was first made with a member of a new race, there was a moment of stunned confusion as the being realized that his mind was no longer private. However this one, to Rugart’s surprise, responded immediately, and with a transmission at least equal to Rugart’s in intensity. “Come over and sit down. I’m rather disappointed that you took so long to discover this little planet of mine.” This took Rugart aback. Mechanically, he sat down in the proffered chair, and replied, “I didn’t think . . .” The man smiled genially. “Oh, don’t worry, I know all about you people.” “I’m afraid you don’t understand,” returned Rugart, “I” —he paused impressively—“am an official trade commis¬ sioner of the Galactic League. I have been sent to nego¬ tiate with your planet in an attempt to open trade in this part of the Galaxy. To be sure, this planet is a long way from Galaxy Centre, but the culture here has been deem¬ ed mature enough for contact with civilization, and so if you could tell me where to find someone qualified to bargain on the part of your planet . . .” The man continued to smile. “I’m afraid that’s quite impossible,” he thought back. “You see, I’m the only per¬ son on this planet.” This was a shock Rugart was not prepared for. “What? But I saw others as I came down the hill. And you cer¬ tainly didn’t build this place by yourself.” “Robots,” was the reply, “all of them Robots.” He paused thoughtfully. “I built them to keep me company. It gets rather lonely with a planet all to yourself, you know, even for a recluse like me.” “But what. . .” “You may be wondering,” he continued, “what I am doing here. Well, I’ve never liked people and long ago, life on Terminus began to become boring. Oh, admittedly, I had everything I could possibly want, but I craved a little more. The aimless existence of Terminus high society began to get on my nerves, and, I finally decided to make a go at being a hermit. So with several robots I left Terminus in search of a hermitage. I found this planet and landed.” Rugart broke in, “But all the robots . . “After a few centuries of life by myself,” he continued, “with only a few simple robots to keep me company, I found that I s till needed some sort of society. But mem¬ ory of Terminus was still too fresh to forget; so I created some millions of robots, gave them a slight resemblance to human beings and turned them loose on the planet. The resemblance to life became amazing. You can walk down the streets of one of their towns and swear you were among living beings.” Rugart’s mouth twisted slightly. “I see. Well then, un¬ der the circumstances I doubt that you would want the Galaxy to intrude itself into your private retreat.” The man shook his head and smiled once more. Rugart stood up. “I must warn you, though. The Uni¬ verse is a big place; you probably won’t hear from us again for millenia. Are you certain that you have no de¬ sire for your planet to have contact with the Galaxy?” “None. Thank you anyway, but I’d just as soon not.” “Well, then . . .” began Rugart, but the man had al¬ ready returned to his book. Feeling slightly cheated, Rugart regarded him distastefully for a moment, took a step forward and disappeared. The air closed in behind him with a faint pop. For several minutes the man sat alone in the waning twilight of the garden, until a faint padding in the grass behind him told of the robot’s advance. Turning, he could just make out the shadowy figure of the robot. “I’ve brought your hot milk, sir.” “Thank you, Roger. Just set it down on the grass be- Roger complied. “Almost time for you to come to bed, “I’ll be in directly, Roger.” The robot turned to go. “Oh, yes, and Roger—” “Yes, sir?” “Be sure and remember to turn yourself off tonight— mustn’t waste juice, you know.” “Yes, sir. Good-night, sir.” Leaving the man on the lawn behind him, the robot entered the building, closed the door softly, and hurried along a corridor towards an open door at the end. Roger S. Clifton, intern at the Sylvan Glades Rest Home for the Chronically Infirm, passed through the door and threw himself down on a chair. Another robot, clad in identical white,-glanced up at him. “How’d it go?” ‘Oh, he’s still as whacky as he ever was, still reading those damned nursery rhymes and insisting we’re all ro¬ bots.” “Shame. He doesn’t look like a nut.” “Yeah. Well, as long as his relatives pay the five hun¬ dred a month we can’t complain.” Robot number two nodded in solemn acquiescence.

A fine drizzle engulfed the sleeping city and this retarded the bursting through of the sun’s golden rays. Milk trucks moved through the quiet streets like huge animals, piercing the gloom with their beady little eyes. An occasional twitter could be heard from a sleepy robin as he ruffled his damp feathers and tried to keep warm. Downtown the street lights blink¬ ed and disappeared as there seemed to be no more use for them that day. Only an occasional taxi interrupted the stillness of the dawn. Suddenly a patter of feet could be heard approaching down the alley. The noise increased as weary feet drag¬ ged through large puddles of rain that formed in the low lying areas of the lane. Then the noise stopped altogether. The next sound to be heard was that of cautious feet stepping into the doorway of a large building. A moment’s hesitation, then the thief stepped back out into the lane. Quickly, trained eyes surveyed the situation. A gust of wind took advantage of this moment of hesitation to fling a large, damp piece of paper at the thief. But he took no notice of this. Here was the perfect place to commit the perfect crime. A determined expression spread over the thief’s face as he began climbing the phone pole that stood next to the marked building. Silently, foot over foot, inch by inch, he climbed until he reached the top of the pole, which coincided with the top of the building. Grace¬ fully he twisted his wiry body to avoid coming in con¬ tact with any of the wires that transversed the top sec¬ tion of the pole. Nimbly he jumped from pole top to roof top. The roof of the building was covered with loose gravel amid which large patches of tar stuck out showing their exposed areas to the bitter atmosphere. With brisk steps the thief crossed the length of the building, and gingerly leaped over an adjoining building. Cautiously he proceeded to cross its roof top. Suddenly a shadow crossed the roof top. Instantly the thief dove for cover. Here he crouched until the shadow passed by, but a few inches from where he was hiding. With a sigh of relief the thief stood up and cautiously proceeded on his way. A few steps and he came face to face with a large sky light. Through this sky light he was to enter the building. A bit of rapid work and the burglar opened a large crack through which he would enter. Slowly he began to lower his body into the crack. By wiggling and twisting he managed to squeeze through the opening. Once inside the thief found himself confronted by a long plank that was supposedly there for the purpose of blocking the crack. Gently he slid down the plank until he came to the top floor. Al¬ though it was dark the burglar didn’t dare turn on a light. He would manage somehow. With muffled steps he proceeded to make his way down to the main floor of the building. On reaching the ground floor he headed straight for the showcase. How quiet the store seemed now compared to when he had first entered it and made his plans for this daring rob¬ bery. He had little trouble in seizing his prize. His exit from the building was exactly like his entrance. As he jumped from the pole into the alley the burglar let out a sigh of relief. He had just committed the perfect crime. Gradually the drizzle subsided and then the sun came out. A few blocks away from the scene of the robbery sat a big black tom cat. Tightly in his mouth he clutched half a salmon. Now he could enjoy his find in peace. After all, a cat who goes to such extravagant measures to steal half a salmon should be left alone to enjoy it in peace.

Yet, I am less than the lowest, vilest crea¬ ture which crawls upon this earth. I am a man; yet I am forsaken by men. I am a man, the child of God; yet the God of love has blighted me with his cruel wrath and punishment. Yesterday I looked about me at the world of light, and colour, and beauty, yet I saw it not. To-day I look, and look in vain. All is dark. All is black, black as Calvary, yet without its promise of dazzling light. For I am blind. I once looked on the world, the world of lush green hills, of sparkling water, of brilliant colour, of pulsating movement. And yet my eye, preoccupied with other things, did not see the beauty, the life, the wonders around me. Nature stretched out her soft, loving hand, begging me to gaze with awe and wonder at her miracles, but I shrugged off her gentle touch, for I did not have the time to stop and feel the choking ecstasy inspired by her un¬ defiled beauty. Oh, why did I not stop, and look, and won¬ der at her charms? Why did I not pause and marvel at each blade of grass, each budding tree? Now they are gone, gone forever, obliterated by a sinister, creeping evil—darkness! They say to me, “Be brave. There is nothing you can do. Make a new life for yourself.” Yet, although I breathe, there is no life in me. How can they know the black despair, the crushing helplessness, the clutching fear of the unknown? They lead me here and there like an ani¬ mal, , and their voices drip with loathsome pity. They coddle me, wait on me, cry for me. They push me, pull me, shove me, talk over me as if I were a deaf im¬ becile, and not just a man in darkness striving for a ray of inner light, a moment of privacy and independence. I long to lash out at them and shout: “I do not want your smothering pity, your condescension. I only want to be myself, to be a man among men, to be accepted for what I am. I am as normal, as worthy, as human as you! 68 Let me breathe! Let me live!” Yet, what is there to live for? I know a man. He too is blind, has been so for many years. Yet, his voice is no longer raised in useless lament and rebellion, for he has accepted his fate; he has found peace on the bosom of the God who took from him his precious sight. He speaks to those who are new to the rough road of darkness, speaks of courage, of faith, of hope. His strength flows into the hearts of the despairing, bringing light to the stumbling soul. He is an example of what is possible, to those who fear all is impossible. Per¬ haps some day, I too may find the hidden well from which he draws his priceless gift of peace. “The Lord giveth, and the Lord taketh away. Blessed be the name of the Lord.” This is not easy to say. For I am blind. Marilyn Boyd fcqq-ChacksA. Suite- Ping! Crack! Splish! Those are the melodious sounds of a breaking egg that bring only discord to my memory. Now to most people, these tones are unfamiliar and mean¬ ingless, for these disillusioned folk have rarely been ex¬ posed to the whims of an egg. Ah, once I was also one of the firm believers in the perfection of this delicate, oval-shaped object, but my dream has been most cruelly shattered through painful necessity. During this summer I had the unusual occupation of breaking countless eggs all day long. That might sound like a rather simple task, until you have heard the remaining “movements.” Bright and early at seven o’clock in the morning, I began my first day at work. With almost uncontrollable impatience, I endured the long, elaborate demonstration on how to break eggs most efficiently. Then at last my mo¬ ment as a soloist had come, and filled with enthusiasm, I confidently snatched an egg from the conveyor belt. The directions had been to nick the shell slightly, deposit the yolk gently in a spoon-shaped structure, then smell the egg shells, and sit them upside-down on a chute. Obe¬ diently I followed my instructions, but to my utter amaze¬ ment, instead of just cracking the egg shell, I made a precise bi-section. Several times� I repeated this annoying performance, producing a mess that scarcely resembled the accurate results of my neighbours. Slowly my skills improved, however, and I actually had the occasional egg with an unbroken yolk. How great was my relief at the end of the introduction! Yet, that was only the beginning of future rhapsodies. Every day eggs, large and small, white and brown, danced along in front of my eyes. Not two of them were alike, for each yolk had its own distinctive colour and texture. Once in a while X found an egg with a peculiar pungent odour, and fighting a strong feeling of nausea, I rushed my egg to the garbage. Of course, after every such in¬ stance I wasted some time washing soiled machinery. Not always did my efforts bring disaster, because occa¬ sionally I experienced a rather brief streak of luck. These rare times were greatly outnumbered by spasms of dis¬ gust when I felt the most terrible urge to throw eggs in¬ stead of breaking them. I am not naturally spiteful, but when a supervisor scrutinized me on one side and an inspector peered mercilessly over my shoulder, such vengeful impulses stirred in my mind. After many similar, joyful experiences, I felt much like the listener who can hardly await the “finale.” As I look back upon those weeks of torture, I shudder involuntarily. Luckily I have been able to forget how often I staggered home under the added weight of dried egg splattered on my face. Sometimes I still suffer from terrible nightmares when I am surrounded on all sides by an impervious wall of eggs. In spite of my antagonism, an unseen force compelled me to endure the fumes. How¬ ever, this meagre reward was soon spent; all that remains in my recollection now is briefly said in three words, “Ping! Crack! Splish!” Dagmar Falk, Rm. 17 CL fiosit at thsL J ' DoibalL ' fyamsL It was pouring rain on a Saturday afternoon in Sep¬ tember, but as usual the football game went on as sche¬ duled. In the bleachers sat a lonely, rain-soaked and bedraggled figure who looked as if he was wrapped in all his worldly possessions. Carefully, he watched every move made by the players and every few minutes jotted some¬ thing down on a note pad. I thought he was a sports re¬ porter, covering the game for a newspaper, but then, if he were, he would be in the press box. By the end of the quarter my curiosity got the better of me and I carefully moved to the seat behind him. Craning my neck I looked over his shoulder onto the paper and to my amazement, saw this written on it - The rain was pouring on the field, In endless drenching columns. The players move with lightning speed But the coach sat looking solemn. Our team is losing “ten to one” With a poor chance of winning, But still they grit their teeth and fight While the other team is grinning. Smith has the ball on the “thirty-third” Running toward the goal The other team pursues him . . . I read this far in astonishment. What was a poet doing at a football game? Certainly he couldn’t have much in¬ terest in it. None of the poem was true, our team was winning, the coach was hopping up and down like a rab¬ bit, and we don’t have a player named Smith. The wind began to blow strongly and the paper blew from the poet’s hand into my lap. I slowly leaned over and handed it to him as nervous as a kitten in water. It turned out he was very friendly and asked me to sit with him. We began conversing merrily. I discovered he was writing a poem for a magazine, and had come to get the proper atmosphere. My curiosity was satisfied and I had found a new friend. Mary Fabris, 7-41 69 B ■Big W ' mm � IggyaNI -■ ' .■KV ' 11 a StilL a, (fhampuML In 1933, a little school on Wolseley and Maryland assumed the name which was destined in future years to appear among the foremost high schools in the city. This was the beginning of Gordon Bell. In the years which followed, this wee high school grew and changed, saw many faces come and go, and finally received herself a new face. Few of us were here to see, even fewer remember the beginning of the school we now call our own; yet there is one who has walked the halls of Gordon Bell, watched and guided her students, and given the school all he had since the beginning years ago. His name is Mr. R. Moore. Mr. Moore was born in Advocate Harbour, a small town in Nova Scotia. He graduated from high school there and then travelled to Truro where he com¬ pleted his Grade XII and entered Normal School. After attaining his teaching certificate he taught for two and one half years in a Truro school. It was during this time that he met a very charming young lady who immediately caught his fancy. However, while his dreams remained only castles in the air, the world exploded into war and, as happened to so many, Mr. Moore was forced to leave his hopes behind and enlist in the fight for his country. In Europe, Mr. Moore served in the infantry from the spring of 1916 to January, 1919, when he returned to Truro to continue his teaching career. During this time, the young lady who was eventually to be his wife had been nursing in a Boston hospital and they had corresponded only occasionally. On his return he taught for the remainder of the term and then, in the fall entered Acadia University, a small university in Wolfville, Nova Scotia, to com¬ plete his B.A. In this respect, the war had had a greater affect on his life than was outwardly visible. In his own words: “I think our lives are guided very largely by circumstances, and we do not always realize our ambitions. If it hadn’t been for my three years in the army, I would likely have gone to Yale or Harvard and possibly, after attaining my Ph.D. have taught Chemistry in the university. That was my ambition. After the war I just didn’t have the money or the ambition to continue. Yet, I am not sorry. I have never regretted being in the army and I have found teaching in the high school very pleasant. It is difficult at times, but as long as I know that I have guided and influenced even one person during my years of teaching I have my reward.” After graduating in the class of 1920, Mr. Moore came West, settling in Crandall, Manitoba and there becoming principal of a five-room school. However, there was still one important piece of business to be attended to back in Nova Scotia, and thus, after teaching a year, he revisited his home province and returned to Crandall with a pretty young bride on his arm. Despite the war and all the accompanying difficulties, the dream castles built so many years before had at last materialized. Mr. and Mrs. Moore remained in Crandall only until 1923 when they came to Winnipeg. Mr. Moore accepted a teaching post at Kelvin where he was destined to remain for ten years. There he taught mostly Mathematics, with Science only a secondary subject. At this time, there was no Gordon Bell and thus Kelvin drew its students largely from the G.B. district. Such notaries as the Hon. Duff Roblin and Mr. W. Hurst, City Engineer, came under Mr. Moore’s influence at this time in his career. With the founding of Gordon Bell in 1933, Mr. Moore moved across the river to begin the final phase of his teaching career, a period of twenty- eight years. There, as at Kelvin, his greatest joy was his students—“If I have had any success as a teacher, I attribute it solely to the fact that I have taught so long in the Gordon Bell district. The pupils in this neighbourhood come from good homes—they’re all well brought up and disciplined. Wonderful kids!” In his latter years at Gordon Bell, Mr. Moore has taught mostly Science. When asked if this was a personal preference he answered: “I enjoy teach¬ ing young people no matter what the subject is. However, I would rather teach Maths. My reason? Well, I get more of a thrill out of teaching Maths, although I get better results in Science.” It is seldom that we of the younger generation find someone who can give an impartial comparison of the students of to-day to those of forty years ago. Here are Mr. Moore’s views: “I have often been asked to compare the students of to-day with those of forty years ago. Generally, I find very little difference. If I find the pupils of to-day easier to get along with it could be that I have learned how to handle situations differently. One thing I have noticed which I think is a very healthy development is the attitude of girls toward sport. It used to be that if a girl wore a sufficiently large sun hat to protect her complexion she might engage in a fast game of croquet. Quite a contrast to the girl of to-day who engages in many sports such as swim¬ ming, skating, skiing, etc. At one time, girls were only spectators at field day. Now they not only take part in at least half the events, but also make the field day a much more pleasing spectacle.” Many things have changed since Mr. Moore entered Gordon Bell twenty-eight years ago. Now, father of four, proud grandfather of ten, he views his retirement with mixed feelings—“I’m afraid that I’m going to miss the students. Being with young people all the time seems to keep you young yourself. Yes, I’m afraid I’ll be really lonesome.” But Mr. Moore does not plan to desert the younger 72 Continued on P. 83 VVi SECOND ROW: Glen Bell, Ron Rosnow, Ken Wilson, Jack Stobart, Ken Fushtey, George Ballingall, Richard Burrerworth, Leo¬ nard Poitras.

Perhaps my wife and I will take a trip to California, but we’ll not move from Winnipeg. Our family is her. This is our home.” Gordon Bell is losing this year a great teacher and a fine man. Since the very beginning, Gordon Bell and Mr. Moore have travelled hand in hand, watching the world change, growing older together. Yet, no one seeing the sparkle in his eye, hearing the enthusiasm in his voice as he speaks of his “wonderful kids” can call Mr. Moore “old”. As we have kept him young, he has helped us grow to maturity; and we will miss him. With him goes a part of Gordon Bell; behind him he leaves a gap not soon to be filled. Yet, in a way, this is just the fulfilment of a final dream—“I have always thought that I would like to be like Rocky Marciano—to retire while I’m still a champ.” And that, Mr. Moore, is exactly what you’re doing!
