That noble, that most intelligent, that super-colossal form of 1 IB is here honouring the Phoebus with its alluring report. We ' re not conceited- we just like ourselves a lot. We Wonder: Why a certain boy and girl of our form stay away the same mornings? It could be the night before—or could it, Galloway? How ' s our good friend and mathematician, Florence Phillips, coming along? She broke a ligament in her ankle and is now confined in bed. Get well soon, Florence. We miss you and, even worse, your math answers. lokes: . Miss Hart: Can you name some organ ot the body? Jean: Yes ' m, the teeth. Miss Hart: What kind of an organ would that be? lean: 1 guess they would be a kind ot grind organ Teachers are Tike mosquitoes. Only mosquitoes leave you alone once in a while

In spite of this we are well represented in all activities. Seven of our members participated in the recent public speaking contest. Ann Bradley succeeded in obtaining the cup for the Senior girls ' contest. Silvia Willms, a representative of Gamma, gave Ann keen competition. The five boys who entered were John Crump, 1 ommy Enta, Bill Petrychuck, Ralph Tippett and Bob Snell. Sports seem to agree with Mam Ba u es as she is captain of the Junior girls ' basketball team, an active player on the house team, and manager of the Delta Junior girls ' team. Most of the people in our room have a pet activity, literary work, art, sports, drama, or music. Our room made headlines recently when Ann Bradley and Jer ry Thurston were recognized as the two Junior students who had contributed rnost to the welfare of the school. From an academic standpoint, Rita Friesen Arthur Dyck and Mary Hairsine are outstanding. Humour is necessary to the well-being of every class. This is provided amply by the jokers of the class; perhaps it is even provided where it is not called for. I haven ' t time to mention all and their achievements, but I know that each person adds a little in his own small way
