FORM I CLASS REPORT Diiring the passed school yeax, Form I has done some interesting work. There are twenty-two boys in the class since Rory VJarnock joined us before Christmas, and we are the yoiingest class in the Senior School. One change this year is that we have added Latin to our usual subjects - Michael Vondette should have been a Roman J Another change in the Senior School has been the formation of five companies. A company is made up of a number of boys from each form with a teacher to head it. The Senior School also has a Student Council | our representative is David Schouler. Every Tuesday morning from 9:00 a.m., Forms I, II, and III enjoy an interesting course in gymnastics and swimming at the Halifax I.M.C.A. Water polo, swimming tests, and races can be done in this period. Perhaps Stephen Neal will make the Olympic team one day! In gymnastics Truman Horchfield teaches us tumbling and how to use the parallel-bars, the trarapoline, and the rings. Besides the Y ten boys from our class played hockey at the Civic Arena on Wednesday after school. Denis Connor was the only one of us to make the Junior team. Well done, Denis! Monday afternoon often finds our class in Kruger National Park! That is, our representation of it! In Geography we were studying Africa, so we decided to make a mural of the Park and each boy contributed a lion, zebra, giraffe or whatever he happened to have made! Now the weather is improving and, before the school year is out we hope to make a trip to the Museum, the library, and perhaps have a day out for sketching. Most of owe class is in the Senior school choir which is directed by Mr. Karr. Mrs. Warnock is directing Life for Life and ' Pyramus and Thisbe ' . Mr. Karr is directing The Valiant in which Jane Purves of the Halifax Ladies College is playing the only female role. In our class the participants for ' life for Life ' are, Gordon Stubbs, Stephen Neal, Rory Warnock, and John Grace, These plays were very entertaining to everyone. FORM 2 CLASS REPORT Two unfamiliar faces were noticed as the school year began, Richard Padmore, who came from Victoria, British Columbia, made his entry into our class along with Robin Wilber of Halifax. They wore two of many new students that came this year. Hockey got underway in the fall with many of our boys attending the weekly sessions at the Civic Arena. Chris Rice was captain of one of the junior teams. Two members from Form 2, made use of the basketball period at St. Mary ' s University. Boys from our class helped to contribute to the competition, but perh aps there could be a bit more support from the student body.
