Poge 26 THE KENCOLL 1952 EXCHANGE As Exchange Editor this year, may I take this oppor¬ tunity to extend my thanks to the other Exchange Editors of the following schools who so kindly included us in their mailing list for their very interesting magazines: VOLT—Ingersoll C.l. BLUE AND WHITE—Waikerville C.l. HERMES—Humberside C.l. HELLO—Brantford C.l. LAUREL—Listowel District High School PATRICIAN—Patterson C.l. EASTERN ECHO—Eastern High School of Commerce. VULCAN—Central Technical School These books were greatly enjoyed not only by myself but also by other members of the Kencoll staff and the student body. Mr. Knapp (after a strenuous 12A French lesson): Some time ago my doctor told me to practice early every morning with dumbells. Will the class please report to¬ morrow morning before breakfast? —Blue and White Scene: A school cafeteria. Student: “What kind of soup is this? Waitress: It’s bean soup.” Student: I don ' t care what it ' s been. What is it now? —Hermes Mr. Ward: Take this sentence, Let the cow be taken to the pasture. What mood? Student: The cow. —Eastern Echo Teacher: What would Christopher Columbus be doing if he was alive today Student: Collecting an old age pension. —Eastern Echo GARY BENNETT A surgeon, an architect and a politician were arguing as to whose profession was the oldest. Eve was made from Adam ' s rib, said the surgeon, and that was a surgical operation.” Yes, agreed the architect, but prior to that, order was created out of chaos and that was an architectural job. But,” spoke up the politician proudly, who do you think created the chaos? 13 It may well be said that Grade 13 has its fingers in every pie, at least every activity at Kennedy. Leading in cheers that raise the roof are Joyce Safrance, Liz Jen¬ nings and David Schwartz. Dave Eng is the president of the Forum and is doing a wonderful job. Marv Lersen was captain of the rugby team, and many Grade 13 boys formed the nucleus of the Rugby and Basketball teams. The girls kept up their end in the sports line. Sue Purton was the captain of the Senior Girls’ Volleyball team, and Cathy Werte and Pat Crompton were star members of the Girls ' Basketball team. In the musical life of the school, Grade 13 is well represented. Rosemary Collins, Dave Pyke, and Ron Saunders are all members of the Octette. Liz Jennings and Joyce Eastman are our great tennis and badminton players. Nearly everybody in Grade 13 had something to do with the Kencoll with Shirley Youell and Marjorie Wilson, Editors, and Walter Yaworsky Business Manager. As far as parties were concerned, the senior students must have had as many parties as the rest of the classes combined. When most others were seeking shelter from the damp cold, our courageous, bold and adventurous students huddled around a cheery fire made from the next door neighbour ' s boat, and succeeded in having a very hearty time—drinking pop, munching hotdogs and telling jokes. The next party was at the home of David Pyke. One of the largest crowds ever seen turned up. Nobody knew anybody, but that made no difference. Then a big do was held before and after Commence¬ ment at Marg Lanspeary ' s house. Three more parties equally as big and successful, were held at Pat Crompon ' s, Cathy Werte ' s and Mary Kilpatrick. The boys’ knees still hurt from playing musical knees at Cathy ' s. Don ' t they boys? Altogether, what with parties and sports and clubs, Grade 13 has become to us one of the most wonderful years of our lives. P.S. There are several questions which have been both¬ ering the seniors: 1. Has Mr. Bishop ' s chair ever tipped? 2. How does Mr. Ward know just when to wake up our live-wire Latin students with a blast of polar air? 3. Where does Miss Vrooman get her supply of hum¬ bugs? 4. Has Mr. Knapp got special connections direct to a cough candy supply company? 5. Why does Mr. Fox blush when we ask him certain questions during Zoology? —Rosemary Collins Best Wishes to KENNEDY STUDENTS -WINDSOR’S LARGEST DEPARTMPNT STORE”

Jennings. 12A 1 2A ' s first party was held early in October, at the home of Barbara Vincent and was a great success. This was only a preview of things to come. Since that time, we have enjoyed several other delightful parties. We do not limit our activities to parties alone. 1 2A has representatives in every school sport. We also have others in the glee club, on the rifle team, Forum, Kencoll staff, and in many other activities. Then, too there is much talent in 12A, as was shown to the best advantage when we staged an assembly relying solely upon our own students. Joyce Thibodeau and George Stedelbauer placed second and third respec¬ tively in the school oratoricals. Although our scholastic averages may not have reached astronomical proportions, we are proud of our class. We have had a successful be¬ ginning and we anticipate an equally successful future. —Michael Gretes 12B It is pert’ near the end of the year now, and the end of Mr. Fox ' s patience, waiting to get his plunger back fcr the sinks ... 12B and the janitors have been around! The following are a few additions the students feel a need for in the laboratory: a fire extinguisher for the crocks, an F.A.I. (Female Assistant Instructor) for the boys, and an M.A.I. for the girls, graphite test tubes, rubber stoppers marked top and bottom, a new budget plan, and some¬ thing to remove a yellow stain that resembles nicotine. Everyone in the class participated in some school activity from cheerleading (Hy Shapiro) to Oratoricals (Jean Mir- sky. The class has had two parties during the yeaf. The first was on Hallowe ' en preceded by a scavenger hunt, at Shirley Wallace ' s house (the neighbors are still com¬ plaining). Later during the Christmas holidays, the class had a hay ride. Remember the day you heard the won¬ derful three piece band and more talent from 12B? Everyone enjoyed putting on the assembly and we should put on more. Last but not least, we would all like to thank our home-room teacher, who has made Chemistry very interesting and lots of fun. 12C In the morning at nine o ' clock We go to English with Miss Gray And there our heads we really stock With shorter poems and Kim today. Then off to History we do fly; Our studies, so well organized, Make Miss Patterson then rely On our home work not done or tried. From here we go to Geometry Where Miss Stewart is once more Wi th proposition three and three, Trying to teach us the old score. We go then to our Chemistry class; Mr. Fox with test-tube and flask Showing us how a bottle of gas Can make in June a way to pass. I guess I’ll stop before noon now And let you eat on the top floor Because you get hungry, and how! So good-bye till one and four. —JOE CIMER.
