24 THEKENNEDYYEAR-BOOK THE GIRLS’ ATHLETICS The girls’ liaskcthall team did not have very great success this year hut they did show good teamwork. Due to percentages and illnesses the team was hardly at its best in any of its game.s. The girls were noted for their good sportsmanship througliout the season. The ninth and tenth graders on the team have shown so much promise that Miss Hamilton holds high hopes for a championshi]) team in a year or .so. We’re behind you, girls! Kennedy swimmers dominated the city meet and scored enough points to enable us to come out on top in iKith the boys ' and the girls ' sections. The boys held a margin of eight points over the nearest competitor but the girls just no.sed out Walkcrville by a single point. Congratulations are in order for Keith McEwen who won the senior boys’ championship and for Jessie Duck who captured the intermediate girls’ crown. IDEAL KENNEDY GIRL-FRIEND Eyes—Eleanor Hanrahan.

ADVICE TO THE LOVE-LORN Dear Miss Hortense DeBris:— My boy friend is very attentive and takes me every¬ where. Do you think he will always be like that? Yours, lary .Ann Repent. Dear Mary Ann Repent:— I’d like to say “yes,” Mary .Ann Repent, but men change after marriage and only want an easy chair and slippers. I’ve seen many a gay dog change from hunter” to setter” in no time at all. Dear Hortense:— My boy friend is a fine dancer but a poor conversa¬ tionalist .About all he ever .says is “Gosh, all hemlock.” Wouldn’t that become tiresome? Yours, Oliva Dither. Dear Oliva Dither:— A’ou’re wrong there O.D. That expression shows he knows his .Ancient History. Remember Socrates was condemned to death and ordered to take i)oison. He told his slave to mix him a drink of hemlock and ale. The slave was so nervous that he forgot the ale and when Socnites tasted it, he said, Gosh, all hemlock!” So you see, my dear lady, that you should thank your stars, that one so well read would he bothered with you at all. SOCIAL On December 2ind, the annual Commencement Dance took the form of the Tenth .Anniversary Birthday Ball, in the gymnasium. Blue and silver decorations were used throughout. On each of the si. baskets were huge birthday cakes, while in the centre of the floor there was a large white cake, illuminated by ten pink ctindlcs. Silver Christmas trees with blue lights stood on each side of the orchestra stand. The whole pre.sented a very attractive appearance. Gertrude White and .Albert Mitchell provided the special entertainment of the evening. .A mimher of the grads, who are away at school, came home to the affair. .A successful tea-dance was held on February 20th, following the exhibition basketball game with Cranhrook. The newly-formed school dance orchestra was the main attraction and deserves a lot of credit for its work. Gossip has it that Don Wilson has taken time off from his studies at K.C.l. and in spending several weeks in Florida. Georgena F’alls enjo3 ' ed a trip to New Orleans and Florida during the Easter vacation, while Jim Jones also spent two weeks in the south. On March 15th over four hundred defenseless males were forced from the side lines and dragged on to the dance tloor by their feminine admirers. .Amidst a setting of blue and gold decorations, these unfortunate young men tri|)ped the light fantastic until twelve-thirty. The feature of the evening was a solo by Ethelwyii Lust- garten. The occasion was the tenth annual K-Hop, a roundabout, with the girls paying the bills. With the Easter holidays just past, we are still mind¬ ful of the many good times we had. The festivities began w ' ith the Junior Haverhill Club’s eighth annual Easter Parade at Lakewood Golf Club on March 23rd. Then in rajrid order followed the .Aero Club Dance, the •Assumiition .Alumni Dance, and the DeMolay Dance. The Girls’ Athletic Societj- s))onsored a tea-dance on Thursday, .April 4th, with the school Swing Orchestra supplying the music. IDEAL KENNEDY BOY-FRIEND Eyes—Herb. .Morris. Hair—Keith McEwen.

26 THEKENNEDYYEAR-BOOK ....I.I.I...Illllllllllill SCHOOL ACTIVITIES The Literary Society The Executive of the Literary Society was elected at an open meeting early in the fall. It is coniiKised of ten members under the presidency of Maurice St. Aubin, ably assisted by Ethelwyn Lustgarten as secretary. The first Lit” meeting was held in December, at which Ned Carrington anti Forrest Rogers presented some of the fourth and fifth form talent that they had gathered together. The second meeting was a short one-act play Buddy Buys an Orchid.” It was directed by Albert Cohen and June Reid with the help of Mr. Riggs- However, since the New Year, the work of the Society has been mostly confined to the task of putting forth the second edition of the “KcncoH —and believe me, students, this has been a task. Three Cheers for the Literary Society! The Glee Club The Glee Club is continuing splendidly again this year under Mr. Wass ' direction. The i)resident is Kathleen Prophet and the secretary, Louise Butt. The club was first heard this year at our commencement exercises singing My Hero and All Through the Night.” At the Music Festival at Walkerville Collegiate on March 14th they made a splendid showing. Their selec¬ tions were “The Pilgrim ' s Chorus” and Nightfall.” The Glee Club presented two talented singers, Shirley Brad¬ ley and George Redden, in the solo parts of “Nightfall.” ' But all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy,” so to relieve the monotony, these .songsters went skat¬ ing on River Canard, returning to cat on home territory in the cafeteria—for. of course, they had to eat. Oli. yes, this Glee Club of ours is a very busy organization. The Orchestra When the orchestra met in September, a new e.xecti- tivc was elected. Jack Jewell became president aitd Forrest Rogers secretary. Under the able leadership of Mr. Wass, more progress lias been made than in former years. The orchestra entertained at numerous assembli ' es throughout the year, as w-ell as playing for the school play and open night. Let us not forget the splendid wav in wdiich it represented Kennedy at the Music Festival—the best showing yet made by a Keti- nedv Orchestra. Through the kind consent and co-operation of our princijial. Mr. Gilbert, a new sehool dance orchestra was « rganized. The students have enjoyed this swing orchestra and are anxious to bear more of it. Let ns hope that this year’s successes in the orches¬ tral work may be continuetl next year. The musicians who comprised this year’s orchestra were: Violins, IGaiiic Perrault, Klso Bchineariol. Bob Wilson, Walter .Martyniuk, Walter Tronianko; cornets, David Sparks, Steve Freisinger. Jack Jewell; saxo¬ phones. Jack Gordon, Bill Colledge, Ellen Balnian; clarinets, Stuart Walker, Forrest Rogers. Louis Zawad- ski; accoidions. Bob Newman, Jean .-Vpplehy; bass violin, Ray Parsons; tromlxinc, Don .MacCuaig; drums, Colley John.son, E 1 Baxter; piano. Hazel Solomon. Kennedy Kamera Club This year the camera club is under the able super¬ vision of Mr. Thompson. This year’s president is Harry Weller, and its secretary, June New. Doug Mc.Mlister is bu.siness manager. In case you have ever wondered about what goes on in the dark room—here ' s the dope. It is open to all boys on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. On Mon¬ day the dark room is used exclusively by the girls. E.x- ccllent results have been obtained, judging froin the pictures entered in recent snapshot contests. This club is a source of much pleasure to all those who have a camera. The Dramatic Society The Dramatic Society helped a great deal in adding a bit of gaiety to our daily grind with the presentation on March 7th’ and 8th of Our Girls, an hilarious three act comedy. It certainly was gaiety, judging from the state of collapse in wfiich most of us were, due to so much laughter. Norma Zamparo’s portrayal of the hard-boiled neighbour, Mrs Wattles, provided some of the highlights of the play, as did the excellent accent of Lucy Kuse, as the Sw-edish maid. Bob Trindcr, Nick Chomyshyn and Wally Fletcher made splendid girls as they dressed up for the benefit of their “ pieer” aunt. Phyllis Lavery. Ethelwyn Lustgarten and . lbcrt Cohen as the agitated parents, Mr. and -Mrs. Elmer Lovejoy. were very realistic. .-Mso. credit is due to Claire Deziel ami John Seiber as Mrs. Wattles ' children. Then, of course, we don’t forget the director. Thank you, Mr. Riggs—from everyone. The Kennedy Discussion Group Now that so mucli is happening in the world, we find ourselves at a loss to keep up with current events. However, there is in the school a group of students who meet every Wednesday at four to discuss the rapidly changing course of events. Every week, each student receives a topic to investigate and reiiorts his results at the next meeting. In this way they fiiul themselves more easily able to understand what is going on around them. The president of the society is Ned Carrington, the secretary, ' Pheresa Kadman. Mr. Walter fills the posi¬ tion of staff advisor.
