SIQAIIX 0 Z1 8417414 Qaaale Our class is larger though smaller this year. WHow?u you may ask. Use this formula: 45-14+2 E 33. Let the 45 mean last year's class, 14 the people who left, and 2 mean Joan Ts'a1, who came in September from China via Oakland, California, and Tom Stowitts, who came in January from Virginia. Taking the 33 in one section instead of two, as we did with the 45 last year, we get H large but united group. We try to squeeze into room 314 for English and social studies, along with extra tables and chairs which we managed to round up from storage places throughout the building. The smaller class makes for a pleasant social life. ' Under the direction of Miss 0'Connel1, we Eights are developing social graces by dancing with the Sevens on alternate Tuesdays. We have wonderful times playing games, jitterbugging, and waltzing around. Refreshments,wh1ch usually consist of punch and cookies, end our afternoons perfectly. ' With equal delight we have spent many after- noons watching our undefeated boys' soccer team align battle other schools. The girls also showed great zest in sports in the fa1l.0ranges triumphed over Blues, and eights beat Sixes and Sevens 5-01n soccer. It was a successful season for all, de- spite battered shins and scarred legs. Our own unquenchable spirits are best expressed in Barry's parody on WA Wandering lhnstrelnz A Wondering Right-wing I- A thing of shreds and patches, Of scarred-up legs and scratches, QNX And only one idea in mind: To kill the other guy Before he can kill ne, But if in case he kills me, Please bury me 'neath my goal, Please bury me 'neath my goal, JK L-z X lay' di, Page 31

When F ball. Oh yes, on Thursdays forty-five minute acrobatics set to music known as Hmodern dancingn. In the Fall, too, we learned the meaning of the old axiom WVariety is 9 the spice of life.N We certainly had variety in the different models, charts, and maps which we made during our social studies research into the.colonial period in America. Their construction inv all passed into Winter the girls turned to basketball and volley- s were spent in those fantastic olved several hectic weeks of mixing paint, malodorous asbestos, and sawing wood. They ranged geographically from eastern Canada to Plymouth Colony to Georgia. They were made at the cost of innumerable arguments, despitethe fact that co-operation was heavily stressed. Along with Social Studies comes English Our original stories reall ' - 1 Y afford superb entertainment. When we remember Nicky Steiner's story about his project, it is always with a smile. Then, too, there was Suki's masterpiece which causes us to say, nPoor Oaky Tag!N when Oaky wails, NMy wood pilp is having indegestion.W Susan's advice on how to spend a quiet Saturday afternoon Wbrought down the housen along with Charlie's reading of some of his hilarious stories. We cannot forget grammar whilein this atmosphereg neither English, French 3 nor Spanish. It's the French that troubles most of us. We hope that with ef- fort, we Rights will be talking like real Frenchmen and Spaniards soon. Al- though the languages are not free of difficulties, we always enjoy ourselves. l Qrfo ,DG 51 Q lk NM fl 5-L, Q -u gs '-'N Page 32
