Nineteen Forty-Eisht c- J PHOEBUS - I is lor Jean, who has a cute little grin; She ' s lull of laughter and mischief within. I is fcr Joanne, who lives here in town; Her hair is red, but she says it ' s brown. J is for Joyce, who is so fancy free, ' Cause that’s the way she wants to be. K is for Krueger, whose first name is Irene; She has big brown eyes that are really a dream. L is for luck—we all need it so, If into this world we venture to go. M is for Margaret, our teacher ' s name; She came from London to lead us to fame. M is for a sweet little girl named Marie; She is bound to end up on the boss ' knee.

X marks the spot where we spent many days: Now we’re looking for a job that really pays, Y is a letter for which we have no name, But we thought we ' d mention it iust the same. Z is for zero day drawing nigh, When we try our finals and say good-bye. 49

PHOEBUS - G 0 THE TWO 13A ' s MOST LIKELY TO SUCCEED The students of 13A have chosen Anne Fairbrother and Paul Otton as the students of the class most likely to succeed in their future professions. Anne was selected be¬ cause her radiant personality and ability will surely carry her to the top. This year she is the captain of Gamma House. During the past two years she has been the spark plug of the Ann Fairbrother rchool basketball team. Twice during her h ! gh school career she has carried home a silver cup as Field Day Champion. In future Anne plans to attend university. Paul ' s natural ability and pleasing personality naturally made him the students ' choice. Al¬ though he has served on the Delta House Executive for several years, his skill and stamina have made him indispensable to the basketball, track and field teams. Next year Paul will be disecting corpses at University of Vestem Ontario. Paul Olton 13A GRADS 1. Good things come in parcels small, But Donald Ackert ' s six feet tall. 2.
