F. S. GILBERT, M.A., B.Sc., B.S.A. I liis year we are celebrating our 25th anniversary. Last October the Alumni held a two-day reunion. Former students came from many places near and far and had a very interesting time. About six or seven hundred ex-students with their wives or friends enjoyed a get-together on Friday night. A very impressive memorial service and a good pro¬ gram had been prepared by a hard working Alumni committee. The teaching staff provided refreshments in the cafeteria and class reunions were emphasized. On Saturday afternoon Kennedy played a league football game against Patterson. The Kennedy boys lived lip to expectations by defeating Patterson t ollegiate in a close game. Saturday night there was a very delightful dance. Our Forum looked alter the decorating of the gym and did a very fine piece of work. The ex-students were reallv enthused about it. ' The refreshments in the cafeteria during the dance brought together many reunions of old acquaintances. The Reunion was a marked success financially as well as socially. With the profits the Alumni have been able to set up a scholarship of $250 for a stu¬ dent from this year’s graduating class. They have also decided to boost the Forum scholarship for this year and succeeding years so that it will be a constant $150. I These scholarships alone will he a mark of dis¬ tinction for our 25th anniversary but the fun that the ex-students had in raising the funds for them will be what they w ill remember most. Kennedy students, teachers and principal wish to thank the Alumni for their wonderful appreciation of the needs of our present-day students. l’atfc -I T H K K K N COLL 1955 EDITORIAL VOL. XVI — KENCOLL— 1955 Published by the Students of the Kennedy Collegiate Institute Windsor, Ontario IN REVIEW J lcrc we are at the end of another year. For many students this year will he their last at Kennedy. To these students leaving the familiar memory-filled halls of Kennedy, we dedicate this year’s Kencoll in the hope that it will some day help to recall the happy days of youth. Besides signifying the end of many high school careers, this year also marks the end of an era, Kennedy’s first quarter century of existence. For twenty-five years Kennedy has helped produce Canada’s most important commodity, her future citizens. The personalities of many hundreds of students have been moulded through the experience of living within the school routine and through daily contact with people sharing common interests and a common goal. In this respect Kennedy has succeeded in its two most important functions, the development of character and the cultivation of good citizenship. In addition to developing good citizens Kennedy Collegiate has gained the respect of the entire com¬ munity through her accomplishments in athletics, scholastic s t a n d i n g, and extra-curricular pro¬ grammes over the last twenty-five years. Our senool has always set high standards in sports as was typified this year when Kennedy teams succeeded in winning championships in football and basketball. During these past two decades and a half Kennedy st udents have continually won their share of schol¬ arships. and many more have gained respected pos¬ itions in society. To-day as in the past, such organ¬ izations as the octette, and the school orchestra, and band are capable of winning the admiration of all who hear them. In these facets of school life Ken¬ nedy need never take a back seat to any school. In the building of Kennedy ' s fine tradition, the faculty has played a most significant role. The stu¬ dents of Kennedy, indeed, owe a tremendous debt to those who have devoted their lives to the noble pursuits of enlightening young minds and of guiding young lives to a straight and true path in life. ' Peach¬ ing is an art from which the student benefits, and one philosopher aptly emphasized the importance of this art when he said: “Scratch the green rind of a sapling or wantonly twist it in the soil, and a scarred or crooked oak will tell of the act for centuries to come. So it is with the teachings of youth, which make impressions on the mind and heart that arc to last forever. The highest function of the teacher consists not so much in imparting knowledge as in stimulating the pupil in its love and pursuit. To know how to suggest is the art of teaching.’ To-day those of us who are leaving Kennedy go out into a world of uncertainty. The time is one in which the future of mankind has never looked darker. At any moment the world may be engulfed in a titanic conflict that would surely spell doom for mankind. Certainly, the highest degree of per¬ sonal courage and faith are needed by young people everywhere if our world is to be made a better and safer place in which to live. In the words of ' Penny- son we must be “strong in will to strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.” THE KENCOLL STAFF Editors LAUREN ZE1LIG SUSAN ROSS Business Managers TED WILSON ALEX GERENSER Staff Advisers.Mr. T.

VALEDICTORY Jt is a pathetic peculiarity of human beings that we cannot live a situation as fully in reality as in anticipation or as in memory. Our clays of reality in the class-rooms of k.C.l. have passed. We can no longer anticipate in relation to high school clays. Nothing remains of them but memory. Henry Wadsworth Longfellow wrote that the “thoughts of youth are long, long, thoughts ' JIow well that applies to our school-days here when we dreamed long and wistfully of the days beyond graduation, and when, rapidly passing us in our dream-like state, reality registered the impressions that flood upon us now. There is mie property which colours every mem¬ ory: Sclnx Ppirit. That is the word the cheer lead¬ ers screamed .at Assemblies until we seemed sick¬ ened of it. And yet that is the essential element of school life which we practised every day of our years at Kennedy. The confirmed crowd-follower at football matches, the rugged individualist at hockey games, those who laboured long to prepare our school magazine, those even, who attended class parties and impromptu bull sessions with the gang, those who wore th e school colours; all exemplified School Spirit. But perhaps brightest in our mem¬ ories is the School-Spirit Club which sponsored our assemblies and those zany skits which always man¬ aged to receive more applause than Mr. Gilbert ' s weekly announcements. We must think of School Spirit in yet another light. That is the light of a brilliant national heri¬ tage. In its illumination we see ourselves members of a practicable United Nations. Kennedy has been blessed in the distribution of races and creeds with¬ in its walls. No single group prevails. Any student who would benefit from such a society must first contribute the better parts of his national heritage to the Canadian spirit which is Kennedy ' s moral foundation. Since last June we have acquired a keener appreci¬ ation of the principles instilled in us here. They have become our constant companions and will re¬ main our faithful guides. In the student elections and administration of student affairs we were ex¬ posed to a practical understanding of Democracy. Through the oratorical contests we were free to render our interpretations of mature topics. Through sports we learned to take bitter defeat with sweet victory. In everything, Kennedy stressed good cit¬ izenship and hardened us for the vicissitudes of life. This evening let us remember those former stu¬ dents of Kennedy who died to preserve our freedom and our claim to a good education. Remembering our obligation to them, let us pledge ourselves to maintain and hold sacred the Canadian spirit made precious by their blood. 1 o ' those who will follow our footsteps through the hallowed halls of K.C.L, may we hope that you will avail yourselves of the vast opportunities (Continued on Page 23) T HE K E NCO L L 19 5 5 Page 9 A. G. HOOPER G. S. CAMPBELL DR. LEONARD WII KELT ON A. F. S. GILBERT This year marks the end of the first quarter- century in Kennedy’s history. The official celebra¬ tion of her Silver Anniversary took place during the week-end of October 22 when Clippers and Clipper- ettes from near and far rallied to relive together some of the experiences dear to their memories of Kennedy. Some of the earliest students remembered the impressive ceremony on December 15, 1928, at which Mrs. W illiam Costello Kennedy, widow of the late member of parliament, laid the cornerstone for the attractive “castle” which was to be the Hon. W. C. Kennedy Collegiate Institute. On November 19 of the following year, the red carpet was rolled out to welcome Viscount Willingdon, then Governor- General of Canada, and his lady, who officially opened the collegiate. At that time, approximately six hundred pupils comprised the student body. Six members of the original teaching staff arc still with us, namely Miss C. rooman. Miss I). Hope, Mr. F. I). Knapp, Mr. R. R. D eagle, Mr. M. W. Ryan, and Mr. A. F. S. Gilbert. Mr. A. G. Hooper, the first principal, re¬ mained at Kennedy for only one year, for in 1930 he was appointed High School Inspector. His suc¬ cessor, Mr. George Campbell, collaborated with Mr. h. I). Knapp to institute the Kennedy Collegiate Forum. Although beset bv the struggles of depression years, those students of the early 30’s manifested an eager spirit which has become traditional with Kennedy. In sports this was the “Golden Fra” of such notables as Joe Krol and Johnny Loaring. Great coaches including Flee Crighton, Bill Downey, Ken ills, and George Chapman guided Clipper teams to football and track and field crowns. The new collegiate was soon well-known throughout the province for athletic prowess. The phenomenal record of the first girls’ basketball team, coached by Miss Grace Hamilton, has yet to be equalled. Ruth and Doris Kerr, two notable sisters, splashed their way in swimming fame both at Kennedy and at the 1932 Olympic games at Los Angeles. Jn 1936, Mr. George Campbell was appointed superintendent of schools; Mr. Leonard Wheelton became principal. However. Mr. Wheelton himself took on the position of school superintendent in 1939, following the untimely death of Mr. Campbell in an automobile accident in Western Canada. Mr. A. F. S. Gilbert, our present principal, succeeded Mr. Wheelton at this time. Now the threat of world war loomed on the po¬ litical horizon. Approximately 1600 Kennedy stu¬ dents served in the armed forces during World War II. Their names, as compiled by Mr. W. H. Downey, a former mathematics teacher, may be found on the honour roll in the south hall leading to the gym. The bronze plaque at the front intersection of the main hall bears the names of those who paid the supreme sacrifice. This plaque was the gift of Miss Norah Cleary, a former French teacher. A second burst of sports enthusiasm followed the war years. Under the coaching of Mr. George Chapman, football heroes such as Bill Moiseshvn and Alex Sulyok brought W.S.S.A. and W.O.S.S.A. honours to K.C.I. on the gridiron, while the girls, trained by Miss Margaret Large and Miss Betty Davis, won swimming laurels. in March, 1953, students mourned the death of Mr. George 15. Chapman, who for over twenty years had coached championship teams and had won the reputation of one of the top athletic c rhes in the Dominion. The spring of 1954 found Kennedy with two new honours to add to her steadily mounting collection. Jn W indsor’s first massed high school cadet in¬ spection, the Kennedy Collegiate Cadet Corps was awarded the T. Roy Noble trophy for marching proficiency. Later, Kennedy track teams won sev¬ eral W.O.S.S.A. championships in London. 1 his year Kennedy teams were again successful and added to twenty-fifth anniversary festivities by winning W.S.S.A. crowns in football and basketball and another W.O.S.S.A. football title. Both teams exemplified Kennedy ideals by displaying courage and determination.

We are enjoying an era of specialization. Secondary school graduation and a general Arts course, although they provide an excellent cultural and educational background, do not, in themselves, provide the tools or the know-how to earn a future livelihood. Additional specialized training must be added. The field of commerce and industry offers greater oppor¬ tunities for the ambitious man or woman than ever before. To take full advantage of these opportunities, specialized business training, prior to entering the field is an absolute necessity. The WINDSOR BUSINESS COLLEGE, established in 1903, while old in years, history and experience is young in ideas, methods and practices. Modern business demands up-to-date knowledge. W. B. C. can, and will, do for you what it has done for thousands of Essex County young people through the years —train you for, and place you in, the desirable positions in commerce and industry in this and other localities.

The senior girls staged a “tra¬ ditional” football skit and a mock trial which they enjoyed putting on as much as the grade nine girls enjoyed seeing them. Offenders of the “Initiation Rules.” which had been enforced all during the day. were the victims in the trial. The good sportsman¬ ship on the part of the grade niners was admired by the rest of the school. Following the trial everyone joined in the square dancing including many of the teachers who seemed to really enjoy themselves. The serving of refreshments ended the pleasant evening which had successfully accomplished its purpose of having the newcomers become ac¬ quainted with the grade thirteen girls. P.S. 1 hope the senior girls will continue this custom for many years to come. Dear Diary, November, 1954 The “Stardust” nights held atfer the football games were a huge success. Many thanks should be given to Mr. Laframboise, the teachers who came as patrons, and the students who assisted Mr. La- framboise. These “Stardusts” are appreciated by teen-agers all over the city as well as those from K.C.I. All the students hope that there will be many more “Stardusts” in the football seasons ahead. Dear Diary, October 23, 1954 To-night Kennedy Collegiate carried on its re¬ union festivities with a dance held in the gaily decorated gymnasium. An elegant silver “K” on a dark background also bearing the words “Welcome, Alumni” greeted the guests as they entered the gym. The mirrored ball at the centre of a blue and gold canopy of streamers brought back memories of former dances. Each backboard was dressed in dark blue and carried a silhouette of one of the various clubs and committees in the school. A musical theme around the coke-stand certainly added to the gay tempo of Matti Holli’s orchestra. This colourful setting undoubtedly made many of the Alumni wish that they were back at Kennedy. If 1 should return to Kennedy in twenty-five years. I hope that a similar scene will welcome me. I he final touch to the festive decorations was offered by the tiny snowmen given as favours. A grand march, led ' by Mr. and Mrs. H. L. Ward, highlighted the wonderful evening. Everyone who attended agreed that the dance was the best of the school year. _ tD OUGH-W S3 . Dear Diary, December 17, 1954 This was the night of Kennedy’s Annual Sleigh- bell Prom. Through the hard work of the Social Committee the gym was transformed into a very colourful ball-room. The attention of the dancers was attracted to a huge Christmas tree glowing with multicoloured lights which stood in the centre of the room. On either side of the stage were three smaller evergreen trees. Each tree was decorated with myriads of soft green lights to illuminate “Sleighbell Prom” mounted on a dark background across the stage, and at the foot of the stage Santa and his reindeer offered their greetings to the gay crowd. Green and red streamers, swaying to the strains of music, met at the mirrored ball which slowly revolved, scattering beams of light on the dancers. Sparkling silhouettes on the backboards portrayed familiar Christmas scenes of choristers and snowmen. The cokestand displayed a scene of two small children praying. Above them were their Christmas gifts enveloped in angel hair to give the impression of a dream. Dear Diary, February 15, 1955 The girls of K.C.I. are on the loose to round up dates for the K-IIop which is only a month away! To give the girls an opportunity to ask the boys, the annual Valentine ' s Day dance, Cupid’s Capers was held (a day late). Dancing started about a quar¬ ter to five even though the music started at a quarter to four. Once the shy people had been routed from their corners everyone had fun dancing to popular records. We should have more of these tea-dances. P.S. I wonder why so many of the fellows left the dance with smiling faces? Dear Diary, March 18, 1955 It happened again! Once more the K-Hop was a huge success thanks to the courage of the girls and the hard work of the Social Committee. The stage bore a huge gold “K” lined in blue which was mounted on a golden sunburst. Each backboard carried the school crest of a district high-school on a sunburst of the school colours, while Kennedy’s school crest decorated the foot of the stage. Tiny gold K’s surrounded the word K-Hop which sparkled invitingly over the cokestand. As the dancing couples whirled about the floor, many stopped to admire the mirrored ball at the centre of the roof of blue and gold streamers. It was even more beautiful than ever this year, because for the first time “K-Hop” was spelled around it in large white letters. A very good orchestra helped to make this year’s K-Hop one long to be remembered. MARY RAPAWY Page 22 T II E K E N C O L L 19 5 5 VACATION DAYS! To breathe the air of countryside I fling my window open wide, Wide, and wider still To breathe the air of countryside And ever greening hill. The sweetly scented flowers bring Their fragrance to my door, The oaken door that welcom’d me To warmth, in months before. I thrill to skies of azure blue And dream of restless seas. Make haste and bring vacation days! Make haste! O, summer breeze! LYDIA PASKEVICIUS, 10A First Prize—Junior AUTUMN Autumn leaves are falling, Red and yellow and brown ; They sway in little whirlwinds As they dance upon the ground. The lazy little fellows That slumber in the trees. Are not a bit concerned With the gentle south wind breeze. (fathering nuts before it’s too late; For these little creatures sleep all winter through, Or better known, they hibernate. Of every season. I think fall Is really the nicest of them all. MARY LOU MacDONALD, 10A Second Prize—Junior HEAVEN ' S JEWELS The raindrops gently kiss the unawakened buds, And shine like emeralds on the mossy grass. The ruby roses lift their shimmering heads As the sapphire sky pours down her gift at last. It drips like diamonds from the dark green bush To turn the pure white lilies into pearl. The lavender lilacs tangle in their rush. Their dainty amethyst petals to unfurl. The topaz tulips gently swaying in the breeze, Raise their arms to Heaven to give praise, To Him who fashions beauties such as these, To lift our hearts and brighten all our days. It falls like silver teardrops from the sky. The angels shed their tears of sorrow. The flowers soon will fade and die But they shall bloom again to-morrow. Third Prize—Senior B. J. McCRAE, 11C WINTER The snow was falling soft and light, The bending trees were sparkling bright, Merry children with spirits high, Made a joyful scene as darkness drew nigh. This was their favourite season of all, Better than spring, summer and fall, They loved the wintry ice and snow, And no one cared if the wind did blow. Oh! how their voices rang so clear, Wishing that winter would stay for a year, But this wonderful season, to many, so dear, With all its beauty will soon disappear. Third Prize—junior BETTE MOSSMAN, 10A SPRING Sweet singing birds, the forest so green, The beautiful cherry a pink and white queen, The bright shining sun and the brook crystal clear All help to make spring the best time of year. The daisies and violets together like sisters Seem to be passing on secrets in whispers, The sky up above like a canopy blue And the ground and the green grass covered with dew. The children all laughing and shouting with glee As they tempt with some nuts, the squirrel in a tree, And everyone’s heart filled with joy, starts to sing, “What a wonderful time of the year is the spring.’’ ULIANA YAWORSKY, 11A SEASONAL THOUGHTS Spring is here and summer coming, Now the birds and bees are humming Little tunes of summer gladness, To recompense for winter sadness. Little flowers so light and gay, Brighten up the month of May; Summer’s coming, winter’s past; Gone the dreary days at last. Summer, with its heat and flies, Helps to brighten up the skies; Then the flowers, out in bloom. Softening many a dreary room. Autumn’s here and winter waking, The Harvest meal with all partaking. Winter’s coming sad to say ; Flowers dying every day. T II E K E NCO L L 19 5 5 Page 23 The north wind blows and shows his teeth, Then soon apears the Christmas wealth; Snow is falling, coating lands. Now everything is silver strands. Thus the march of Time goes on. Never ceasing, still as strong, Never slows or stops to rest. The years of the future are the best. And as the seasons still roll by, Let not the hopes of future die; Keep alight those hopes for better, To the past be not a debtor. So as the years of life go by, Bring not to mind a cloudy sky. Forget all troubles of the past, Remember good things to the last. Second Prize—Senior DOUG WILSON, 12A METAMORPHOSIS The rain came dripping to the tiny glade. No diamonds ever fairer had been seen; They sparkled every leaf and bough so green. And spider web that quivered in the shade. The sky was gray, the earth was gray; o’erlaid With blankets from the Weaver’s loom supreme. 1 think gray clouds arc used to Heaven screen, And pitter-pat the sweetest sound God made. But suddenly the world was born anew— Sun’s chariot swept the graying, dismal sky; Earth was a cup with golden wine o’erflowed. All creatures (piaffed the liquid molten brew. Now Earth forgot the rain that speeded by; Jler eyes were lifted to the sphere of gold. First Prize—Senior MAY IIOTTI, 12B A BONFIRE ' The acrid smoke of burning leaves hangs in the dank night air. As I watch the crackling flames parry with the gloomy shadows, a strange fascin- f ation takes hold of me. On this pyre of withered leaves, the brilliant hues of autumn culminate in blazing beauty. My cheeks burn with a ruddy glow; my eyes smart from the dazzling light. Alas! 1 am bewitched! 1 cannot look away! PAT STAGG, 13B (Continued from Page 8) afforded you here and that you will expose your¬ selves to the broadening experience of participation in intellectual, athletic, and social life. Above all, keep foremost Mr. Gilbert’s favourite saying: “Without effort there is no learning.” Finally, while basking in the warmth of our suc¬ cess, we realize that in leaving Kennedy, we are leaving most of the friendships and affiliations of our childhood and, conscious of a whirlpool of con¬ flicting emotions w ithin us, can sympathize with Juliet when she said, ‘‘.Parting is such sweet sorrow.” RODERICK D. MACGREGOR UNITED NATIONS REPORT This year as in the past Kennedy students took an active part in United Nations programmes. Last July as part of a province-wide undertaking, two Kennedy students, Harry Walter and Rod Mac¬ Gregor attended a U.N, seminar at the University of Western Ontario. 1 hiring the weeks of their attendance, many interesting lectures on current topics were given by different professors. Harry and Rod also enjoyed many social and athletic activities at the same time. In the fall an invitation was extended to Windsor high schools to send representatives to a United Nations’ Day gathering in Detroit. Diane Merriman and Lauren Zeilig at¬ tended in Kennedy’s behalf. In addition to the many high school students from Windsor and Detroit were a group of foreign students from various Asiatic and European countries, who were studying in Detroit. Their presence gave the meeting a truly United Nations’ atmosphere. Several weeks later as part of the Board of Edu¬ cation’s programme which sponsors annual trips for local students to the United Nations in New York, six very fortunate boys made the journey. Among them was Lauren Zeilig from Kennedy, who after taking extensive notes throughout the five-day adventure gave an account of the trip to the entire student body on his return. Accompany¬ ing the boys on the trip in the capacity of chaperon was Kennedy’s Mr. Walter. As head of the social studies department at Kennedy, Mr. Walter was well able to cope with any questions concerning the U.N. W hile in New York the group was received in the most courteous manner by the Canadian dele¬ gation and by Mr. Paul Martin, who interrupted a very busy schedule to conduct a tour through many of the l .N. conference rooms. The trip proved to be very successful as everyone returned with a much greater understanding of how the U.N. is striving to alleviate the troubles besetting mankind. LAUREN ZEILIG WOMEN ' S FASHIONS What is this world coming to? Are we being reactionary in our ideas of women’s fashions? To¬ day’s women look back on their wardrobes of 20 years ago with a smirk, but have they really looked at their clothes lately? In those clays the so-called ‘waist’ was really at the hips, dresses were knee- length. long strings of beads were worn as accessor¬ ies. and hair was trimmed very short. If one has ever noticed, fashions of to-day are not much different. Dior’s ‘flat look’ is creating much of a problem among fashion designers. It is up to the women as to whether it will be a leading style or a passing whimsy. The Italian cut and the ‘boyish bob’ are among the leading hair styles now-a-davs. W ill the fashions of to-morrow be similar to these? Or perhaps they might compare with those of the “Gay ’90’s.” I guess we will first have to wait and see! i VERLIE ARMSTRONG, 12A Page 24 ' I ' H E K E N COI.

She smiles at each of the shoppers who arc crowding into the car and shuts the gate with a brisk snap. As she pilots us up to the top floor of the department store, we notice that her uniform is stylishly tailored, her hair is attrac¬ tively arranged, and her finger nails are well mani¬ cured. In her friendly manner, she exchanges com¬ ments about the weather with an elderly lady stand¬ ing at the front of the car. “Fifth floor! Sporting goods, books and stationery, children’s shoes, kit¬ chen ware, ladies’ coats and suits! Watch your step please!” We step out of the elevator impressed by the self-assurance with which this gracious queen rules her cramped domain. “Going down!” Again we enter the elevator, and again she flashes 11 s her friendly smile. This time, however, we realize that her smile is unnatural and that her normal expression is almost a frown. Tiny drops of perspiration are apparent on her puckered brow. For the first time we notice that the crowded car is warm and uncomfortable. In the heat, her uniform has become wrinkled, her crisp waves have disappeared, and her hands have become grimy from manipulating the heavy doors. She makes the forme rstereotyped remarks about the weather to another elderly lady. When a frightened child at the rear of the car begins to cry, she shrugs her shoul¬ ders in disgust. “Main floor! Drugs, cosmetics, notion, men’s wear! Watch your step please!” she drawls in a listless monotone. An indignant lady at the rear of the car complains that she wanted to’get off at the second floor. We listen as she makes a half-hearted apology. How wrong we were! Our operator is not a queen supervising her kingdom. She is an animal pent up in a moving cage. First Prize PAT STAGG. 13B WORKING My experiences while working as a clerk in an ice-cream store have taught me much about the people with whom we live in this world. Of course, the majority of the people w ith whom I come in contact are friendly and good-natured. They wait their turn, ask for what they want, are satisfied with the price and leave with a smile. 1 am sorry to say that all people do not measure up to these standards. Some of the customers, es¬ pecially women, treat 11 s with a very superior air. I I hey see into think we are very far below them because we work for a living. Another common type is the com plainer. No matter what he wants, there is always something wrong the way he sees it. Most people don’t understand the difference in ice-creams, which causes a difference in prices. The ice-cream is all the same to begin with, but when it is pack¬ aged, the air percentage caused by the pressure of packing it is unavoidable. By buying the bulk ice¬ cream. the hand-packing forces the air out, making it a richer, more solid food. Then there is the American customer who be¬ comes very angry about paying three cents on his dollar. He has forgotten the time when Canadians had to pay up to fourteen cents on their dollars. 1 have also learned that the well-to-do classes of people become rich by saving every penny possible. I am thinking of one woman in particular. Although she takes yearly trips abroad and wears fur coats, she always washes out the ice-cream cartons and brings them back to be refilled until the become hopelessly torn, rather than to pay two cents for a clean carton. During the two years that I have worked as an ice-cream clerk, she is the only person 1 have known to do such a thing. 1 have worked in several different sections of Windsor, finding that the middle-class people tip the clerks very often, while in the best sections of town there is no tipping whatsoever. J imagine that there will also always be suspicious people, who will never believe any price that you add up, until they have added it up themselves several times. Then they reluctantly give you the money and carefully count their change over again, for fear they are being cheated. Hast but not least is the temper-trying customer who has you name twenty different flavours of ice-cream, and after a few minutes of deliberation decides on vanilla. Outside of these examples which include the ma¬ jority of bad customers, ninety per cent of the cus¬ tomers are very agreeable. 1 have wonderful bosses, perfect working conditions, and love my work im¬ mensely. 1 don t think 1 could be as happy working any place else. Second Prize DIANE HEBERT THE CANADIAN SPIRIT Last summer a teen-age girl from Toronto startled the world with her never to be forgotten swim. How a young girl could perform such a difficult and dan¬ gerous feat against tremendous odds remains a question in everyone’s minds, but the fact is that she did and when all others failed. When Marilyn Bell dove into the dark waters at the start of her long swim across Lake Ontario, perhaps only those who knew her best, her family and her trainer, ever thought that she could succeed in reaching the op¬ posite shore. Many people might have glanced at Marilyn sliding through the water propelled by her long, powerful strokes, but the main interest was centred on the best long distance swimmer in the world, Florence Chadwick. However, when Miss Chadwick finally acknowledged defeat, the keen interest switched to the one remaining swimmer who was steadily plodding toward her goal.

This terrorist group has been planning for five years (same for more) the downfall of the tyrant and his capitalistic warmongrels, under secret operation A.F.S. . . . Come in K.C.I.

This is your favourite propaganda-kastcr comrade Knobal- mike, spelled backwards Kkimlabonk, again brink- ink you ze latest sissy-schuss. Is pleased we are to reportink that gerat progress has been made in our cell since Septembirk. Jack kuttulski and Pat Sa- francek wire chosen chief instigators in most hon¬ ourable party. Our first party meatink was held at comradess Dilamartcr’s. Then, to avoid detection party moved on into the night. Janet Mitchell was checking plumbing facilities at residence of com¬ rade Al. Comrades Adlington and Applcyard played tootsies in a corner while J. Swalwcll discussed with M. Weber and S. Stolarchuk the probable fate of capitalists Siverns and Simpson. To aid in the downfall of capitalist warmongrels, the cell produced an inspiring assembly, showing the deterioration of the capitalistic state under the astute direction of comradess Czaplasky. (� . Tucko- vitch. Thompsonov, I eipersky, Safrancek, and Ar- nolditch gave an superlative performance. Then, the waching masses arose and gave forth with mus¬ ical renditions of “It was Sad” and “Do Lord” under able direction of most honourable comrades Pritch- ardic and Ifoustonov. This was preceded by orches¬ tra of comrade Kuttulski and his followers Madil- lanov, Pritchardic and most honourable Nykorovsky. Comrades Sawchuk, I lemmings, Whipple, Ruttul- ski, Nykorovsky, and Lowery lead the peasants in a cheer for the freedom of the masses, (“llorrah!”) “Music hask to sootjik the savage beastk, “and so to worm into the confidence of our warmongrel bosses, we sneakily sang them Christmas Carols. 1 he outstanding voices of the pasants present were Cdause. George, lug. Phillips, Martin; Tofflemire, Price, Ajersch, Brown, Brunt, Campbell, Gregg, Knuckle, N uffy, Lev ine. McWilliams and Winfield. Our inspirational renditions won to our cause two esteemed capitalists Mr. -Donahue and Mr. Bishop. Comrades hoote, Maitiacco, Minch, Szorik, Saw¬ chuk, Partington, Cole, Maksimovitch, McClister helped in bringing about the downfall of capitalistic schools as we won W.S.S.A. and W.O.S.S.A. foot¬ ball. Later, comrades Foote, Partington and Mani- acco received city recognition for their efforts. In basketball, comrades Burrato, Pennington, Cole, Zelcney, Krause, and Maksimovitch again helped the “Krazy Kastle” defeat capitalist schools and won W.S.S.A. title. McKerrow, Mavin, Whipple and Zelcney helped the volleyball team, but capitalists gauged up on the “Kastle Team,” and we lost. Comradess Staggoisky, with great speaking prow¬ ess. spread propaganda all over province and won Industrial Accident Prevention Association award. Comrades Krause, Nykorovsky, Doan, Czaplasky, J uck, Turcon, Wheeler, Lowery, Farrow, Prit- chardic, Chapman, Cates, Girard, Wilcox, Musy, Walter and McCrea were Prefect s in charge of keep¬ ing the pasants in order with comrades Ann Deneiko and Terry Parkinson as group leaders. J. Partington, Safrancek, Rapawy, Cole, Czaplasky and Kuttulski thoroughly spread propaganda in the capitalistic Forum. In charge of party news called the Kencoll (Pravda) were commissars Zeilicovich, Wilson, Wilcox and Douglas. The octette included M. Prit¬ chardic and P. Staggorsky with comradess Mcrri- mansk in charge of the piano. So pasants, you can see that our organization had a thumb in every pie, and we hope that succeeding generations will be as effective as ours and have as much fun in taking over that Krazee Kapatalistic Kastle, K.C.I. This is KnobAlMike signing off. KNOB, AL AND MIKE (Mostly Knob) 12A To start the year off with a bang, we elected Ed C iesluk as our president, Marlene Zimmerman, vice- president and Elizabeth Mackie-treasurer. No time was wasted before we had our first party which was a great success. There were many others that fol¬ lowed including the especially enjoyable one our homeroom teacher, Miss Vrooman, gave us. Our class has been well represented in all school activities. Keeping the bench warm for the football players were‘John Buda and Ed Cicsluk. Bill Barrott and Sue Pearse were on the swimming team. Gail Beausoleil was on the basketball and volleyball team, and helping our boys basketball team win the city championship was Al Rutherford.

Jim Jensen and Deane Hutchinson entered the oratoricals. the latter winning the city championship. As a result of placing first in the magazine sales, our class was treated to a show. As you can plainly sec, there has not been a dull moment through the year. We ended the year on as lively a note as we began and I’m sure none of us will ever forget the good times had with Miss Vrooman. SUE PEARS 1C 12B 12 B is the Class, most teachers say, That helps to brighten each hour of the day. The following characters arc only a few, That make that statement so very true. Starting the list. Jack Maddock is the best, For he was the first in our chemistry test. Then Helen with her gum chewing, When her work she should be doing. Eat Thompson, who is in a constant daze, Happily awaits the summer holidays. Maureen Marshall is a shy little mite. So afraid that the boys might bite. Jim Houston, who is very humorous, Finds George’s jokes are very numerous. Eiz White, our brownctte dark, Is always happy as a lark. Though Bill’s homework is never done, Without him our class wouldn’t be much fun. Ron Brown, in Latin, tries to do fine, Hut it’s iu basketball, he really does shine. Jerry, Don and Eric are more of our clowns, Vet from our teachers, they only get frowns. There’s Frank, Peter and Ross, our football heroes, And Elaine and Ella who never get zeroes. Now Sylvia Wolfe is our swimming champ, And pretty Miss Hotti is our chief scamp. Last but not least comes Mr. Fox, so dear, And when we need help, he is always near. PHYLLIS SMITH 12C This year 12C was very active. We were fortun¬ ate in having Miss Patterson as our home-room teacher. Our girls won the “Senior” and “School Championships” in volleyball. Our boys are in third place in the Houseleague Basketball, and our girls are in second place in basketball. Most of the boys in 12C are on the school football team, while Roy Hielich made the A.K.O. football team. Our President is Donna Spendlove and our Yice- Presidcnt is Roger Penny. Donna is not only our class’s favourite singer but also the school’s. Shirley Rising is our dancer. We also have Canada’s Out¬ standing Woman Athlete — Ernestine Russell. . We are all very proud of this year’s 12C. ANNETTE I) ECU I RE 11A With Eleanor Greenhow as president and Arthur Harat as vice-president, 11A has completed a year filled with enjoyment for everyone. Our first party was held at the home of Mary Forsyth in October. It proved to be such a successful party that another was held at the same house in December. In January we staged a terrific skating party at Memorial Park, going to Philip Feldman’s house afterwards. All of these parties were well-attended and all seemed to enjoy themselves. 11A proved to be full of promising young orators this year. In the senior girls’ public speaking con¬ test, .Margaret Prociuk, Carol Dungy and Anita Tarcia placed in that order. Fred Muroff came third in the senior boys’ division. Joan Marshall and Albert Yuzpe also entered the contest. We arc repersented in many school activities including the school orchestra, glee club, girls’ swimming team, altiora peto and soccer team just to mention a few. Though Miss Hope, our home-room teacher often shakes her head in despair, I am sure she will never forget that noteworthy class—11 A. ELEANOR GREENHOW 11 B J think llli is the best class at Kennedy Collegi¬ ate. We never talk, always do our homework, hate holidays, and love exams. Now if you will permit me to be truthful for a moment!—The year started off with the election of our very apt President and Vice-President, Dave Pennington and Lily Sediva. (Even though they were the only nominees they campaigned vigorously!) Soon we were all “buddies till the end,” working together to please our be¬ loved Mr. Knapp who we would not think of parting with. Before we could even annoy the teachers, foot¬ ball swept upon us and here Pennington upheld‘our tradition of excellence. Then came exams. Nancy Bodyk took the honours but Leo was not far behind with 100% in Geometry. It was heartily agreed that we were badly in need of a party, so “Weeny” donated his house and “away we went!” At Christ¬ mas, Barton and Ken led the boys in their present¬ ation of a gift to Julie. (A big box of “Fab.”) In basketball, Wayne Fernch and Dave Pennington made us very proud. Of course, we love all our sub¬ jects but Vicki Unicki is especially jolly in Physics and in English we also have a “Shaw” on whom Elaine is an authority. We have quite a few mus¬ icians including Lily Chapman and we all like “Dance with me Henry.” Ben Harrison drops in on our French class sometimes, just to keep us happy. It is a pity that this story must end without men¬ tioning all our wonderful class because we could certainly write a page about them all. As for me, I am content to sit back, note the history, and predict the future of dear old 11 B. CAROLE FINLAY nc Here is the truth about 11C, The class in which I am proud to be; The two Jerrys and Ed are our handsome lads, And Kevin and Dennis 6ften make us laugh. Roberta and Elaine are the tardy ones Barbara and Theresa are pretty good chums. Norene and Florence are petite and dark, (Continued on Page 34) Page .32 THE KEN COM. 195 5 CLASS 11D Third Row: D.

Here I end my poem of 11C, An interesting class, as any can see. SUZANNE RAYZAK, 11C 11 D Mr. Mahon’s 11 D may not have been the centre of a social whirl this year, but perhaps simple sta¬ tistics will explain why—we have 31 boys and only three girls ! ! ! Our Vice-President, Garry Rogers, was captain of the Junior Boys’ Basketball team. In early September, Don Brown was elected Presi¬ dent. The “Mighty Midget,” Bob Keech, our Forum representative, has had a busy year being water boy for the football team, scoreboard operator for the basketball team, and the one most surely to provide a good laugh in the class. Ron Gelinas shone in football and swimming. Bob Brooker also partici¬ p ated in swimming while John Schertzer made the soccer team. Mike Mitchell was a triple threat being a member of the soccer, hockey, and rifle teams. Also on the rifle squad was Don Merriam. Our future Air Line Hostess, Delphinc Holland, was on the Volleyball team while the senior basketball team was represented by Lynn Smith. Sporting activities were not the only accomplish¬ ments of 111). The Camera Club had for its Presi¬ dent, Bob Waddell, while the school orchestra numbered among its talented members, Ron and Ivan Dodich and Mike Rouffer. LYNN SMITH, 111) 11 E Any person passing room 213 at 9:00 any morn¬ ing, Monday to Friday, will not see anything out of the ordinary, but WILL see the renowned class of HE. Our class is headed by Jo-Anne Sanders and John White, with Joan Marianti taking care of the financial end. Being only an ordinary class, we have only the ordinary contributions to school activities. Our contributions to the swimming teams include Barbara McGhic, Liz Fabu and Doug Freeman, with John Russell doing his best on the rifle team and junior boys’ basketball team. Our forum repre¬ sentatives include our president and Joan Morianti who also participates in cheer-leading and girls’ basketball. John White and Bill Griesinger are the class athletes, as they participate in football and hockey. As far as scholastic ability goes, it must be said that 11E can stand up amongst the best. We possess such scholars as Diane Hebert, Laurene Maven, Marjorie Etkin and Jim Clarke, who seems to be the only boy able to beat some of the girls. 1 have only mentioned a few members of 11 E, but the efforts of all the others make up this ordinarv class of HE. CLASS OF 11E 10A This 10A isn’t too bright; President Moheen, can’t keep the boys quiet, Gordon Safrance is giving up sports, Stephen Fox is Einstein in disguise, Mary likes teasing “Poopsy” and “Peaches,” Our top student is Lower School Editor, Shirley swoons over a certain fifth former, Davie Thomson doesn’t like Science, Ken Smith uses Light n’ Bright, The “Roseland Girls” have a fan club for (?), Darlene and Gary never question or answer, Judy and Don arc often late, Lois can’t manage to pass in Latin, Jody Turnbull is aiming for six feet, Bet and Bren gave up spinach for Lent. Sam has visions of a Cadillac convertible, Carol does all her studying with Keith, Barb and others suggest a sixth class party, We all agree that Miss Bondv’s swell She wants us to “parle francais” so well. AUTHORS UNKNOWN 10B At the beginning of the year, Jim Gretes was elected as President, Bev. Nykor as Vice-President and Marilyn Matt as Secretary-Treasurer. We started out with a successful hayride at Hanes’, and followed up with skating parties in Jackson Park, and house parties at Marion Sinko’s spacious home and Westminster’s basement. The latter was en¬ joyed immensely by all who attended, as it was held jointly with 10A. As for school sport activity, many of the class—girls and boys— participated in many of them. The girls were well represented in the Girls ' Swimming, Volleyball, and Basketball Teams. Also, many of the boys were part of the Tennis, Badminton, Football, Basketball, Track, Rifle and Volleyball Teams. All in all, we have had a very successful and amusing year in sports, class activity and school work with Mr. Ward, as our beloved home-room teacher. We all hope that next year’s 10B has as much success and more.

They come in all shapes, all sizes, and styles; And you should see Andrewes at basketball trials. For height we’ve got Allen, Bruno and Paul; But Gerry and Ron have no height at all. Bor width we have Sylvia, or maybe Gary; They’re both as round as a big, rosy cherry. As for doubles, we’ve really got troubles, With our Don’s, and our Ron’s, our Bruces and Bobs, Our Mikes, our Jims, our Pat’s, and our Brown’s. And something else I almost forgot, Daryl’s our president, and organizer. Mr. Wass is our teacher, and a teacher he is; Bor he teaches us Math, and makes many a whiz. We lost but one student, his first name is Bill, And his job as vice-president, Keith Johnson did fill. This is only a part of our wonderful class; What do YOU think, will everyone pass? RON BRIDSON 10F This year our girls took an active part in the interform sports. We participated in volleyball, basketball and are looking forward to baseball. Although we did not win many games, our team spirit increased as the season progressed. We can boast of some very outstanding girls in sports—Carol Suffield (Swimming Team), Kath¬ erine Weber, Carol Squire, Shirley Boyd (Sr. Girls’ Basketball). During the year many of the boys in 10P partici¬ pated in basketball, football and hockey. These boys were Alan Kitching, Gerald Halmos, Gerald Brab- owski, Bill Kassai. Ken Thompson and Tom Knight. On other teams Mickey Chauvin. Ed Czapla and Parry Konopasky displayed their talents. These boys played on interform teams. Mickey Chauvin, Alan Kitching and David Panglois played on school teams. ()ur class has held several parties and have taken part in various scoial activities in the school includ¬ ing the orchestra and glee club. SHIRLEY BOYD ALAN KITCHING CAROL SQUIRE 9A Our class of nine A Is friendly and gay. Each one in his turn Has something to say.

GEQR GINA M A N KT E L OW T HER ESA DAVID SON 9G Our class, 9G, has had a lot of fun this year! We are a happy-go-lucky lot of girls and boys as you may have observed if you have ever attended one of our class parties. Three parties have been held to date ; the first at Betty Le e ' s house, the second at St. Paul ' s Anglican Church, and the third a skating party at the house of our class president, Barbara Goldman. Albert Linnell, our vice-president, is our repre¬ sentative in the Forum and Mary Belanger is our treasurer. The girls ' volleyball team got into the finals but lost, and our class came second in the magazine drive. So 1 guess that, on the whole, our class lias had a very enjoyable and successful vear.

He gestured towards an armchair, and the man sat down, giving the old priest who sat opposite him a quick, furtive smile. “Well, my son. what brings you here at this late hour? But first, what is your name?” asked the old priest in a kindly tone. “. . . Bill Thomas,” he began nervously. “Padre, J came here because . . .” “ ‘Padre’,” broke in the old priest, a pleasant smile creasing his wrinkled face. “You were in the last War, Bill?” “Yeah. I guess I never got over the habit of call¬ ing you ministers ‘Padre ' .” “How did the War treat you? Did you have a hard time?” The man relaxed visibly as he sensed an inter¬ ested listener. “My nerves weren’t so hot ... I got shell-shocked and they discharged me. I was kinda glad. Them sergeants and me never did get on too well.” “And after the war?” “J got married. Me and the wife split lip after a while, though.” “Oh? Why, Bill?” asked the old priest sympa¬ thetically. “Aw, we never did get on so well.” the man answered uncomfortably, watching his finger as it traced a pattern on the sleeve of his jacket. “My parents never cared much, so I quit school after the eighth grade. 1 couldn’t hold a job long, and 1 was kinda restless too ... I can’t stay in one place, Padre,” he said, looking up apologetically. “1 understand. 1 hope you don’t mind my ques¬ tions,” said the old priest with a warm, friendly smile. “Oh no. Padre.” “What are you doing now. Bill?” “I drift around—get a job some place and when I get tired of it. I just move somewhere else.” He shifted uneasily in his chair. “The reason 1 came to see you. Padre, was because a friend of mine asked me to—Johnny Nelson. You probably don’t remem ¬ ber him. You took him in one night about a year ago. when he was pretty down and out, and helped him. He never forgot you.” “Seems to me I remember him.” interrupted the old priest thoughtfully. “Unusually tall, rather thin and frail looking . . . Struck me quite forcibly how thin the fellow was. Does that sound like Johnny?” “That’s him,” the man said, another quick, nerv¬ ous smile flitting across his face. Then looking fixedly at the old priest, he continued, “Johnny and me were pretty good pals; we drifted around to¬ gether for this last year until Johnny landed in the hospital.” He lowered his eyes from the priest’s concerned face and went on, “Johnny never did take care of himself and y one day when he was working, he just collapsed. Pneumonia. I went to see him in the hospital. Johnny and me had already made plans to come to this city, so he made me promise to come and tell you that he never forgot what you done for him. So, here 1 am,” he finished awkwardly. “And what about Johnny?” The old priest almost whispered. “He’s dead.” The painful, almost forlorn expression on the man’s face and his sad, listless tone touched the old priest. “Bill, Pm sorry.” “So’m I, Padre. I liked him a lot.” He rose stiffly and said. “Well, I’ve got to be moving on.” “Must you?” the old priest asked anxiously. “You’ve only been here a few minutes.” “I know, Padre.” the man replied, walking slowly towards the door, “but Pm catching a train out of here—.” “To where?” The old priest walked with him to the door. The man stepped onto the porch and answered, “Oh I don’t know exactly. Padre. Just anywhere.” He turned, took a few steps, and then as if some¬ thing were bothering him. he turned back towards the old priest and said earnestly. “You understand, don’t you Padre? I can’t stick in one place. ... I just can’t be happy. . . . Goodbye. Padre,” he fin¬ ished lamely and quickly went down the porch stairs. Rays of light from the open door of the old priest’s home fell upon nearby objects and lengthened their shadows to nightmarish size. That light, as well as the brightness of the windows in houses close by gave the surrounding night an appearance of being inky black and intensely quiet—so it seemed to the old priest. The figure of the man who called himself Bill Thomas walked into the nightmarish shadows. The old priest silently blessed him, sadly repeating over and over again. “My son . . . my son . . . my son . . .” The figure disappeared into the black, quiet night. “ ‘The Pursuit of Happiness’,” murmured that wise, humble old philosopher, looking at the cold, glittering stars above him. “When will man realize that his greatest sovereigntv is over himself?” First Prize CATHERINE MeKINLAY THE PROPHET You have undoubtedly heard of Uni vac, Eniac, and Maniac, the f a m oils wall-sized electronic “brains” of the big electronics companies, but have you ever heard of Elevac, “The Prophet?” Elevac was perhaps one of the most surprising of man’s inventions, but its true nature may forever remain a mystery. This, then, is the amazing story of the man-made computer that foresaw the future, some¬ thing its designers had not built into it. Elevac was born in the electornics laboratories of Westelco. It was a quiet birth, attended only by a handful of executives from the sprawling plant, and a few professors from nearby Winnipeg Uni¬ versity. It had been built, not as a super brain, but as merly another step in the progressing line of computers. Its banks of photocells were similar to (Continued on Page 60) Page 44 THE K E N COLL 1955 BOYS ' SPORTS SENIOR RUGBY TEAM Back Row: Mr. A. F. S. Gilbert, G. Safrancc, J. Clarke. L. McCrindlc, E.

At the outset Kennedy had a rookie-packed line, and was rated as a fourth-place team. As the season progressed the team showed itself as the best in the league and won the W.S.S.A, championship, and went on to win the W.O.S.S.A. championship as well. The Clippers had a 5-1 record and the scores were as follows: Kennedy . 23 Patterson . 12 Kennedy. ....... 6 Assumption 51 Kennedy 23 Forster ... 0 Kennedy 23 Walkerville 0 Kennedy.10 Patterson ... 7 Kennedy 18 Walkerville 10 In the semi-finals the Clippers trampled Walker¬ ville 23-0. The best game of the season was the one with Patterson in the finals and was not decided until the final moments of the game. Kennedy emerged victorious with a score of 7-1. The following week the Clippers defeated the powerful London Golden Ghosts by 8-7. This gave the Kennedy squad the W.O.S.S.A. championship and ended London’s 38-game winning streak. John Partington and Ron Maniacco were co¬ captains. This year’s All-City team boasted four members from the Kennedy squad, who were Ron Maniacco, John Partington, Tack Foote and Dave Pennington. The football squad would like to thank Mr. Arnott for his superb coaching, and also Mr. Green who helped the “Beef” get into shape. JOHNNY BUDA SENIOR BASKETBALL The senior basketball team of 1954-55 brought back to Kennedy its first W.S.S.A. championship in eleven years. Kennedy finished the regular league season with a 4-6 record, to find itself tied with Walkerville for fourth place, the last playoff berth. In a sudden death game against Walkerville. Kennedy won the right to meet first place Assumption in the semi¬ finals. In the semi-finals Kennedy bounced the Raiders to the sidelines to advance to the city finals against Patterson. When the smoke had cleared Kennedy remained alone. W.S.S.A. champions. In W.O.S.S.A. competition. Patterson reversed the role of runnerups and defeated Kennedy to go on and win the W.O.S.S.A. championship. This year Kennedy’s captain. Ron Brown, was the only member of the Kennedy squad to be chosen as a member of the All-City team. On behalf of the team I would like to thank Mr. Arnott for helping make this year’s team a success¬ ful one. BOB KRAUSE SENIOR BASKETBALL TEAM Left to Right: R. Biellch. P. Pennington. L. Zeleney. E.

SENIOR BOYS ' VOLLEYBALL The senior boys’ volleyball team, although not quite as successful as last year, enjoyed a very fine season. After beginning the season quite well, the team acquired a final record of three wins and three losses. As we were tied with . D. Lowe tor second place a sudden death game was played in which Kennedy was nosed out in a thrilling contest. 1 his ended the team’s volleyball season. Mr. Bishop, our fine coach, deserves a great deal of credit for his hard work in helping the team to do as well as it did. 1)1X0 BURATTO TRACK 1954 Nineteen hundred and fifty-four was once again an outstanding year for the Kennedy thin-clads. At the annual Kennedy Relays, the Juniors. Intermedi¬ ates. and Seniors combined to prove that they were an unbeatable squad. Winners in the W.O.S.S.A. competition repre¬ sented the school in the All-Ontario meet and gave sterling performances. As well as meets between other schools several members represented the school in the All-Canadian Junior meet held during the summer. Some of the members were Dave and Paul Pennington, Don Cole. George Caldwell, Leo Shapiro. Phil Lowery and Preston Burke. Coach Green is to he congratulated for producing another fine team and it isjtoped that the team will fare as well in the 1955 season. PHIL LOWERY SOCCER During the 1954-55 season the Kennedy soccer team did not win any high honours in the city. Under the capable coaching of Mr. I homson a team of recruits was soon welded into shape. This team played throughout the season with determin¬ ation and good sportsmanship worthy of Kennedy. With a few more breaks Kennedy would have been a championship team. Most of the members of this year’s team will be returning next season and with that in mind Ken¬ nedy will undoubtedly have one of the better teams in the city. The team would like to thank everyone who assisted us during the season, especially Mr. Thomson our coach. GEORGE CALDWELL HOCKEY In spite of the ardent support of the few and loyal fans, the luckless Clippers emerged with one victory and nine defeats this season. The Clippers won their first game of the season only to have it taken away by forfeit. The seeming strong lines of White. Saw- ciiuk. Owchar and Whipple. Thompson, and White- sell just couldn’t hit pay dirt. Mr. Hyland, their coach, is certainly to be com¬ mended for his fine work in developing those stal¬ wart defensemen. Hubbell, Penny and Griesinger. The hustle was there, the hustle wasn’t. Kennedy was well represented by this band of scrappy hockey players, and it is hoped that the team will fare better in the 1955-56 season. GAIL GIRARD Page 46 THE KENCOLL 195 5 WALTER L.

The team has really worked hard and thanks to the terrific coaching of Miss Lozoway it has im¬ proved tremendously. This was evident when we defeated Patterson at the following meet. We are all hoping for continued success in the .S.S.A. meet. SUE PEARSE, 12A JUNIOR GIRLS ' VOLLEYBALL Purpose: To produce a championship junior girls volleyball team. Material: Sixteen enthusiastic girls and one capable coach. Method: Practices every Puesday and 1 hursday night after school under the direction of Miss Blair. Observations: With these practices the team im¬ proved steadily. We won four of our five games and finished in second place. In the finals we were deefated by Forster. Conclusion: Although we did not win tie league championship we certainly received good training for next year. CHARLENE TERON GIRLS ' BASKETBALL Although the ( ' .iris’ Basketball Team was not very successful in ’54 and ’55. we put in many hours of diligent practice. In addition to the regular league games on Friday nights, the team met with other schools. Even though we wound up in cellar position, the girls showed good spirit and sportsmanship. 1 his year’s outcome, however, does not indicate that the results next year will he the same, for we are indeed hoping that in ’55 and ’56 the Kennedy Girls’ Team will gain their deserved fame. On behalf of the team, 1 would like to thank Miss Blair and Miss Lozoway for their top-notch coach¬ ing, and we sincerely hope that the future team is fortunate enough to have them as coaches. e also wish to thank our manager, Barbara Buchanan, for her assistance. NORMA DEL COL, Captain GIRLS ' TRACK 1953-54 Tiie girls’ track and field team for 1953-54 was well represented in the city’ meet. Although the team did not finish in first place, they are to be con¬ gratulated on their fine effort. In the school meet the intermediate championship was shared by Lorraine Pidgeon and Betty Hemcrle. The junior and senior winners were Carol Squire and Pat Bolton respectively ' .

THE KEN COLL 1955 Page 51 SENIOR GIRLS 1 VOLLEYBALL TEAM The senior girls’ volleyball team put on a splendid exhibition this year. As a result, after the long strenuous practices, we ended the season with a 2-2 record, behind only Walkcrville and Forster. As a final glory we took a hard fought game from our boys’ volleyball team to the surprise of the entire school. Special thanks go to our coach, Miss Lozo- way, who devoted her full time to the senior team, and also to our very few loyal supporters. GAIL BKAUSOLK1L MARY VVEBKR BADMINTON Last season’s badminton club bad a very success¬ ful year. Kennedy dominated the YY.S.S.A. tourna¬ ment ,winning four out of the five titles. Dick 1 lames captured the singles championship and teamed with Paul Pennington and Vera Lysey to win the boys’ doubles and mixed doubles. Vera Lysey won the girls’ singles. Kennedy produced its first W.O.S.S.A. champion as Dick Flames defeated all opponents in the boys’ singles division. This year enthusiasm soared and although we lost many of last season’s stars, new talent is fast developing under the excellent coaching of Mr. Ward. Mary Rapawy and Pat Safrance fought their way to victory in the Windsor novice tournament in the “ladies” doubles class. Interschool tourna¬ ments have shown that Kennedy is a team to watch in the coming YV.S.S.A. contests. PAUL PENNINGTON (Continued from Page 45) TENNIS Rainy weather and little encouragement failed to dampen the spirits of tennis enthusiasts at Kennedy this year. In a school tournament organized by Mr. Ward, Mary Rapawy and Joel Glynn emerged as champions in their respective divisions. Kennedy made a creditable showing in the W.S.- S.A. tournament but failed to produce a winner. The W.O.S.S.A. tournament was held in Windsor this year. Paul Pennington and Tony Wdlaiiski representing Kennedy in the boys’ doubles division were defeated in the semi-final round. It is hoped that again next year Kennedy will turn out another fine team. PAUL PENNINGTON GOLF This year K.C.l.’s golf team started off the success of our athletic teams by winning the 1954-55 W.S.- S.A. golf championship. The team defeated Forster in a close race by only a few strokes, thus bringing the trophy to Kennedy for the first time in several years. The team is to be congratulated. The team would like to thank Mr. Ward, the coach, for his helpful hints and thank Dick Woodall for donating the “Range.” LANCE WHIPPLE (Continued on Page 57) COMPLIMENTS OF GEORGE GERENSER GEORGE MARGITA ALEX GERENSER LEO QUINLAN COMPLIMENTS OF The National Cash Register Company of Canada Limited 620 Goyeau Street Windsor, Ontario COMPLIMENTS OF iu e MEN S SHOP 359 Ouellette MY WORK WILL SELL YOURS !

The annual trip to Cedar Springs was a memor¬ able one. Seventy men participated in the Strath- cona .303 Rifle Competition. The intermediate group won in its division, while the junior and senior teams were runners-up in their respective classes. Kennedy also won the award for the highest single score in Ontario. Under the capable supervision of teacher and student instructors, the No. 1670 corps prepared to compete in the secondary school mass inspection at Jackson Park on May 7. As a result of the fine precision marching displayed by our cadets at that inspection, brigadier Gibson presented the T. Rov Noble Cup, to C Lt.-Col. Richard Rowe for the best marching battalion on parade. The precision squad, commanded by C Major Bink. exhibited the essence of good drill and brought marching glory to K.C.I. on several occasions. On May 6 they performed skilfully at the Elementary School Pageant in the Windsor Arena. The mass inspection at Jackson Park provided a second oppor¬ tunity for a smart precision drill. May 14 saw the precision squad, coupled with two other platoons, marching in the Warriors Day Parade. On June 15, the officers held their annual banquet and dance at Lakewood golf and country club with Colonel Hodges as their guest speaker. Delicious food, attractive girls and dancing were the order of the evening and a good time was had by all. Merit diplomas were presented to twenty-one Kennedy Cadets at Camp Ipperwash and one at Camp Borden this summer. C Major John Partington was sent to attend the National Cadet Camp at Banff, Alberta where he was chosen Commanding Officer of the Royal Can¬ adian Army Master Cadets who were inspected by the Duke of Edinburgh at Chilivvack, British Col¬ umbia. last summer. In 1954, the battalion experienced fine “esprit de corps.” It is hoped that the cadets of future years will live up to the spirit, tradition and reputation laid down by last vear’s ranks. ' JOHN PARTINGTON, 13A RIFLE TEAM The 1954-5 rifle team sustained a very active programme this year. Jn September we sent three teams to Toronto for a .303 competition, in which one team came first in Ontario Class B shooters. Bill Barrott placed first in the Ontario field. Also in .303 competition we were first in both the Junior and the Intermediate classes in the Strathcona competition. Of all com¬ petitors D. Thomson stood second in the Juniors and D. Merriman first in the Intermediates. (Continued on Page 57) ' I ' II !•: K E N C O h L 19 5 5 Page 53 JUNIOR RED CROSS CLUB This year was quite successful for the Junior Red Cross Club. Despite the fact that the membership was small in comparison with other years, consider¬ able accomplishments were made. One of the highlights of the year took place in the home economics room of Marry Guppy School, where thirty Junior Red Cross members from the other high schools assisted the Kennedy club in folding bandages for the hssex Unit of the Cancer Society. When the folding was completed the Ken¬ nedy girls served tea and cookies. The tea was sent to us by the Ceylon Junior Red Cross in return for the health kits we sent them last year. Of course we did other things as well, but space does not per¬ mit us to describe them. The members wish to thank Mr. Gilbert for his help and co-operation. We hope that next year’s club will be bigger and better than ever before. VERNOR MePHEDRAN MIXED GLEE CLUB After many patient hours of practice under the direction of Miss McNeill, the Mixed Glee Club presented two songs ‘ 1 he Christmas Song and “You’ll Never Walk Alone,” at the Christmas Assembly. At the annual Music Festival held on March 11th, the Glee Club performed two numbers, “O Sacred Head” and “You’ll Never Walk Alone.” Our President is Shirley-Anne Byrne, our Secre¬ tary is Ann Sinclair, and our Librarian is Barbara Miskus. All the members of the Mixed Chorus would like to extend their thanks to Miss McNeill for all the time and effort she has spent in directing the Glee Club. SHIRLEY-ANNE BYRNE DRAMA CLUB This year the Drama Club experienced a very successful year. Under the excellent supervision of Miss Patterson and Mrs. Gailius the executive worked together to produce the Christmas show. Two plays entitled “Mr. and Mrs.” and “ ’Twas the Night Before Christmas” and several musical num¬ bers highlighted the production. For the Easter assembly the Drama Club presented “A Game of Hearts.’’ A class was conducted by Ernestine Rus¬ sell for all interested in sta e make-up. JIM HOUSTON BUGLE BAND This year the bugle band, standing thirty-six strong is decked out in colourful new uniforms. The tunics of scarlet are trimmed with white and navy, while the two N.C.O.’s and officer’s tunics are trimmed with yellow. The trousers are navy with a red stripe running along the seam. To set it off. the white helmets have a thick scarlet strip, golden separ on top, and a gold linked chin strap. ' CDT. CAPT. D. WEARNE THE INTER-SCHOOL CHRISTIAN FELLOWSHIP This group provides an opportunity for students of every denomination to express their Christian faith. At the meetings held each week in the cafe¬ teria wc enjoy special speakers, Bible studies, sing¬ songs, Bible games and quizzes. In the past year our meetings have been faithfully attended. The fellowship had other activities outside school such as parties, conferences and banquets. NANCY HOUSE THE CAMERA CLUB The K.G.I. Camera Club has been one of the most progressive camera clubs in the past year. We have been honoured by such distinguished photog¬ raphers as Lionel Tidridge and Frank Wansbrough. The club has aided the photography department of the “Kencoll.” JACK PIERCE ALTIORA PETO The Altiora Peto has been responsible for all the advertising in the school. Posters for olleyball. Football, Hockey, Swimming, the Sleighbell Prom, the K-IIop and the Variety Show, were the result of hours of careful work, and many will receive their pins for having seven posters accepted. The assistance and guidance of Mr. Ryan should not be forgotten. DOLORES CZAELA GIRLS ' GLEE CLUB At our Christmas assembly the Girls’ Glee Club presented “Brahms’ Lullaby” under the capable direction of Miss McNeill. Wc practised “Totem Tom-Tom” and “Indian Love Call,” two selections from “Rose Marie,” for the Secondary Schools’ Festival on March 11th. We wish to express our sincere thanks to Miss McNeill for her tireless effort and patience.

L THE KEN CO LI. 195 5 Page 57 (Continued from Page 51) JUNIOR BASKETBALL This year, the Junior Clippers had a moderately succes sful season, compiling a creditable 13-5 record. The team finished in second place but unfortunately lost to Walkerville, 37-32, in the semi-finals. To Mr. Green go our thanks, and to next year’s luniors, the best of luck. JIM GRETES (Continued from Page 9) In addition to outstanding athletes, Kennedy Collegiate through the years has produced some of the top scholars in the province. Evidence to this fact is the long list of university scholarships which have been won by Kennedy students. The Univer¬ sity of Western Ontario awarded the Sir Arthur Curry Scholarship, valued at $900, to six Kennedy boys as follows: Brian Casey, 1936; Alfred Hurley. 1936; William Temkow. 1937; Fabien Curry, 1943: Robert Krol. 1944; and Robert Phibbs, 1945. In 1948, Ernest Steib won the School of Pharmacy War Memorial Scholarship for $1200. Two of the most valuable scholarships in the school ' s history were awarded to two graduates of the class of 1951- 1952; Marjorie Wilson won the Stanley McLean Scholarship in English, history and two other languages from the University of Toronto, valued at $1014, while William Gee received the J. P. Picked 1 Foundation Scholarship in mining engineer¬ ing at Queen ' s University, valued at $1200. Last year, Patricia McKenzie was the recipient of one of the first Ford Motor Company Scholarships worth over $1,000. Jt is the firm hope of all connected with Kennedy Collegiate that the next twenty-five years will be met with as much success as this past epoch in Kennedy history. PAT STAGG (Continued from Page 27) eyes of her countrymen, but in applauding her let us not forget all those unknown Canadians who deserve just as much praise and publicity. Go to the far corners of our nation and you will not fail to find all the fine qualities of Marilyn Bell displayed in the people who conquer the storm-tossed sea of life with courage, fortitude, and an indomitable will. It is unfortunate that such people do not receive proper acknowledgment, but Canada must rely on such people to keep her steadfast. Canadian men and women have weathered two World Wars and a depression, and they will likely have many dark days vet. However, with such people as Marilyn Bell to renew our vigour and inspire us with cour¬ age, we will succeed. Thank you, Marilyn, we owe vou a great deal. Third Prize SUSAN ROSS, 12A (Continued from Page 52) In .22 shooting we shot a steady, though not exceptional average. In the Ontario Rifle Associ¬ ation, the Dominion of Canada Rifle Association, the Royal Military College, and the Province of Ontario matches our averages were 95.6, 94.4, 94.8. and 96.6 respectively. These scores were well within the first 10 in all the competitions. For the first time, a team from Kennedy was picked to shoot the Earl Roberts .303 Provincial match. The results of this, and of this year ' s Strath- cona shoot are not known at this time of writing. The Strathcona Crest, given for the highest aver¬ age within the school in six competitions, was won by Harry Walter. The team extends to Mr. Bishop its thanks for his time and patience in instructing its members.

As this was not the time for the weekly reading” of stored information, and as no question had been asked, both W atson and Williams were mystified as to the cause. Attempting to halt the flow of tape, they rushed over to the machine and turned the dials, first one way and then the other. Meeting with no success, they called in Dr. Lyon, who found himself also helpless in this strange situation. In desperation, they turned it off, but EVEN THIS DID NOT STOP IT. When the tape stopped emerging, the three men placed it in the decoder and eagerly awaited the answer to this strange enigma. In spite of all their combined knowledge, however, they were at a loss to understand what the machine had written. The only recognizable symbol was the for¬ mula for a phenomenon known as the “Fitz-Gerald Contraction.” Hasty phone calls were made to the heads of the university physics staff. The next morning. Dr. Lyon took the tape with him to a conference of the University’s top physics men. After six hours, Dr. Lesperance himself appeared from behind the doors of the conference room. Ilis aged face was taut as he faced the small group of people waiting outside the doors. “The machine.” he said falteringly, “has just predicted the end of the world; the earth, rush¬ ing through space at an ever-increasing speed, is diminishing in size by an amount which can be calculated by the Fitz-Gerald contraction law. At low speeds this is insignificant, but at the speed at which the earth will soon be travelling, according to its increasing velocity, its size will decrease until the size of the atoms composing the earth are so small that they reach critical mass, destroying the earth in a terrific chain-reaction explosion.” “You saw that the computor ran itself when the current was turned off. This time we’ve gone too far. We must keep this from the public.” lie went to the phone and asked to be connected to the head of the Physics Department at Southern University. High above in the heavens, a meteor hurtled through the airless regions of outer space, pursuing a course that would crash it into the small building housing the brain” and the small group of physics experts. As it thundered like an avenging angel toward the unsuspecting group, Dr. Lesperance was just saying into the phone, “. . . the end of the world will be . . .” Second Prize PAUL DUNSLAT1J, 12A BIG ADVENTURE lie was a sweet little fellow. The long golden curls fell to his shoulders but his eves danced with mischief and there was a scab where he had fallen on his little pug nose. He strode along the side-walk with his mother and came soon to a shop that Johnnie had never been in before. The room in which he now stood was very queer. The walls were covered with mirrors and a long shelf was hidden under rows of odd-shaped bottles. Jn the middle of many chairs and magazines was one extra big chair that could spin around and glide up and down. A strange man whom his mother called a “barber” lifted Johnnie into the high throne and covered him with a funny striped sheet. Then, he started to cut off Johnnie’s curls. At first the little fellow was terrified and huge crocodile tears streamed down his freckled cheeks. As Johnnie watched the oper¬ ation in one of the many mirrors, he decided he liked what was happening. Instead of a pretty little child, he was now a fine-looking BOY! Third Prize MARLENE ZIMMERMAN, 12A (Continued from Page 53) ORCHESTRA The orchestra has had a busy year under the baton of Mr. Yass, playing for the Commencement, the Music Festival in March, and at several as¬ semblies.

HOUSTON XII The Forum Controversy Since the Forum was established in 1930 by for- mer principal, Mr. Campbell, and Mr. Knapp, it has been criticized by those who have no idea of how the Forum functions, those who have a vague idea of its duties, and by those who just don’t care about what goes on in the school. The Forum is a controversial question for those interested in the privileges of the student body. The students of Kennedy were asked questions pertain¬ ing to this subject. All agreed that the Forum is a most essential cog which keeps the machinery of the school running smoothly and in harmony. It is a way in which the students can take part in the planning of their own affairs. Those interviewed agreed that the students should be more informed of what takes place at the Forum meetings and also of what the Forum has done for the school. Bob Nykor 13A suggested that the whole of the minutes of the meeting be put on a bulletin board so that all interested can keep informed. Barbara Miskus 10A offered the idea that the Class presidents sit in on the monthly meetings and then report back to the class about what was discussed. The question of representation and the voting for these representatives brought varying opinions. “Since there are more grade niners, they should have more representatives,” was the viewpoint of Beth Lambert 9A. Jim Houston 12B stated that the grade niners should not elect the grade thirteeners. An¬ other system whereby the grade nines elect the grade niners only, grade ten elect grade toners only, and so on, was suggested. Carol Squire 10F was of the opinion that the grade niners do not understand the function of the Forum and that before election time the students should be showed how the student council system operates. In agreeing with Carol, Judy Martin 11A added that the grade niners do not know the upper school, and only vote for the most popular students. Not only is the Forum a necessary link between teachers and students, but also allows the students to see government in action. DOLORES CZAPLA, 13A The dark, gloomy fog rolled over barren misty swamplands covering the boggy wastes as a cold sheet covers a cold corpse. The twisted, leafless trees raised their mangled, scarred arms in anguish to the moon and wailed their mournful song. In the centre of this desolate area, on a solitary rise of ground, a small rotting log-cabin leaned forlornly in the biting wind, threatening at any moment to concede in its losing battle with the heartless elements, and long¬ ing to rest forever on its damp bed of moss. The remains of a small, winding, stone path which afforded the only access to the buildings were sur¬ rounded by black, slimy mud, vile pools of water, and lurking quicksand. To stray or stumble meant a quick drawn-out death. While 1 was .cautiously treading this path to the cabin which held my fate, a hard, brittle stillness descended over all. The quiet increased and the intense silence became deafening. ALEX GKRENSER, I2A A RAINY DAY A torrent of rain poured from the heaven encom¬ passing the world in a gloomy veil. Millions of rain¬ drops spattered on the crisp leaves and fell dejec¬ tedly to the ground, while countless others beat a sharp staccato on the shiny roofs and on the slippery streets. Although the monotonous pitter-patter on the window-panes was soothing, it was also depress¬ ing. Taking shelter in a dripping tree, a bedraggled sparrow was unsuccessfully trying to dry its wet feathers. Just as unsuccessfully, people were scurry¬ ing to and fro attempting to avoid the numerous puddles lying on the sidewalks. Tiny rivulets ran down the streets growing larger and larger as the rain continued through the day. Towards evening the appearance of the sun cast a magical light on the despondent world, transforming it into a shim¬ mering fairyland. Gradually the rain ceased, and the day which had begun so unpleasantly ended with a magic rainbow hanging in the sky. SUSAN ROSS, 12A THE KENCOLE 1 V 5 5 T Page ()2 P. S. JEFFERY LTD.

The majority of careless drivers are teenagers and people under twenty-five. The parents of teenage drivers and the police department are working together to improve this situation. Signs have been posted along speed lanes: speeding tickets have been issued; movies have been made, but speeding and carelessness persist. Jn most Windsor theatres at the present time a movie, entitled. “The Young Die Quick,” is being shown. This movie was made by the Windsor Police Department and acted out bv students of Windsor High Schools, and Windsor residents. We had the opportunity of watching this movie being made and seeing the production on the screen. We found it interesting and very realistic. This is one of the ways in which Windsorites have co¬ operated with the Police Department in their fight to abolish speeding and carelessness. If this co¬ operation continues, some day accidents and deaths resulting from carelessness will be reduced. This editorial is worth readi ng because it is about some¬ thing that has happened very recently in Windsor and as a result is still making local news. It shows us that the Police Department is making a genuine effort to control carelessness on the road. JUDY EAGEN, 12C SPRING Sweet singing birds, the forest so green. The beautiful cherry a pink and white queen, Theh bright shining sun and the brook crystal clear All help to make spring the best time of year. The daisies and violets together like sisters Seem to be passing on secrets in whispers. The sky up above like a canopy blue And the ground and the green grass covered with dew. The children all laughing and shouting with glee As they tempt with some nuts, the squirrel in the tree, And everyone’s heart filled with joy, starts to sing, “What a wonderful time of the year is the spring.” ULIANA YAWORSKY, 11A Please Patronize Our Advertisers ERNESTINE RUSSELL Canadian Woman Amateur Champion of the Year Standard Procedure Instructions In Death of All Gymnastic Members Jt has been brought to attention that many gym¬ nasts have been dying while at practice for appar¬ ently no good reason at all. Furthermore, the same gymnasts are refusing to fall over after they are dead. THIS PRACTICE MUST STOP AT ONCE On or after January 18, 1955, any gymnast found sitting or standing around after he or she has died will be dropped from the team at once, without an investigation under this procedure. Where it can be proven that the gymnast is being held up by the bars, beam walls, or any other sup¬ port which is the property of the gymnasium, a thirty-day period of grace will be granted. The fol¬ lowing procedure will strictly be adhered to. If, after several hours, it is noticed that the gymnast has not moved or changed position, the coach will investi¬ gate. Because of the highly sensitive nature of our gymnasts and the close resemblance between death and their natural practice attitude, the investigation will be made quietly so as to avoid wakening the gymnast if he is asleep. If some doubt exists as to his true condition, extending a medal is a fine test. If the gymnast does not reach for it, it may be rea¬ sonably assumed that lie is dead.
