This 1950 book contains in picture and story a complete account of our activities during the past school year. Since the 1948 publication, our school size has once again increased. The Leamington High School District now is com¬ posed of the town of Leaming¬ ton, the Village of Wheatley, the Township of Mersea, and portions of the Townships of Gosfield South and Romney. Our High School area contains over 15,000 people and this has caused an increase in our peak enrolment to 630 pupils. With this edition we welcome our Wheatley-Romney students. The Wheatley High School section of the Phoebus covers the one Grade 9 and one Grade 10 being taught at the Wheatley High School. All grade 11, 12 and 13 students of our area are in attendance at the Leamington school. With the completion of a new school all our pupils will be able to receive instruction in one building with proper facilities for secondary school work. We are naturally proud of our academic record of 92% of all University Entrance Examinations passed in 1949 but we are also pleased to be offering excellent instruction in the practical subjects, commercial work, general shop, home economics, agriculture, art, and music. Our activity programme provides for all students, rural or urban, the most important training for citizenship and community life that can only be obtained by participation in the glee clubs, the drama groups, the bands, the majorettes, the cadet corps, the athletic games, and the necessary executive work. This three-fold plan is the present day progressive programme of an Ontario High School with the aim of providing the best secondary school education to the greatest number of our young people. J. iV. HUME — 4 — Nineteen Fifty C s9- dZclitoxiat PHOEBUS — (T 0 Cj-oiin dxumfi E, the students of the Leamington High School, take pleasure in publishing this our year book. In one sense, The Phoebus serves as a method of conveying to our parents and friends, illustrations of the many and varied activities we have at the Leamington High School, of which we are justly proud. Also, through The Phoebus we salute our school and above all the members of the staff who are responsible for our many achievements and successes. As many of the activities illustrated throughout our book cue extra-curricular, this means that the teachers have given up a great deal of their own private time. In one way or another each of the 580 students at the High School has contributed to this publication, which we hope will serve as a pleasant reminder of school life for many years to come. It is our fond hope that the Year Book will serve, not only as a source of pride to us, the students, but to our parents also, who give us the opportunity of obtaining the fine training, not only in theory, but in practice, which is offered at the Leamington High School. The members of The Phoebus staff, with myself, wish to take this opportunity of thanking sincerely our advertisers, without whose assistance our publication could not be realized. We wish to thank also, Mr. Gordon Widmeyer who published our book and Mr. Henry Fisher for his very fine photographs. The co-operation of these various groups was responsible for the success of The Phoebus. _ — 5 — I PHOEBUS Nineteen Fifty Nineteen Fifty --— ' zdito’iLal c taj-j- PHOEBUS - tr o Editor John Crump Assistant Editor Joann Rome Sports Writers Literary Editors Duane Cook, Barbara Poore, Ted Siller Jane Anderson, Pat Wright House Editors Alpha Beta Gamma Delta Mary Hairsine Albert Hilton Ola Hyatt Ann Bradley Advertising Maurice Cosyn Bruce Mooney Ted Siller Barbara Poore Reporters Margaret White Shirley Fairbrother Sylvia Willms Photography Ronald Edwards Cadet Jack Bury Sponsors Mrs. E.

Evidence of enthusiasm was proven by the fact that 163 students entered the eliminations from the four houses. The students are qutck to realize the advantages of the art of speaking and ihe f.ne training received at the High School. In the final contests, March 6 and 7, two speakers from each of the houses —Alpha, Bela, Gamma and Della—vied for the Public Speaking Crest. As this crest i ' 3 considered one of the most important, competition is very keen. The crest this year was won by Alpha House. The speakers who aided in winning the crest for their house were:—Maurice Cosyn, lane Anderson, Joy Morrison. Every year since its inception in 1939, enthusiasm over Public Speaking has increased and the final contests have become increasingly closer. This year the students witnessed the closest contest ever judged. The margin of points between the houses was very small, Alpha winning by a scant half point. Thus this year we salute Alpha house for being the proud possessor of the Public Speaking Crest for 1949-1950. - 8 - N.ri Ofs ' W s f rrQy «s Nineteen Fifty c o PHOEBUS (T+O Jli tzxaxu CITIZENSHIP: KEYNOTE OF DEMOCRACY Canada is recognized all over the world as a democracy. Why? Because Canada is a country in which the will of the majority rules. Democracy is like a piece of machinery which cannot run by itself. It needs power. The power comes from the people who have adopted democracy for the purposes of securing their will. Therefore, it is important for every person to have a share in it. Democracy gives the citizen self-government, which can be good or bad depending upon the citizens. Citizenship brings duties and responsibilities. In modem democracies, the citizens are the rulers of the land. A country cannot be strong, intelligent, or just if its citizens are weak. Without good government, there can be no peace, no justice, no protection of family life, no security and little happiness. What are these duties which make a good, solid citizen? The first duty is obedience to the laws of the government. Just as a basketball game cannot be played effectively unless the players abide by the rules, so a modern democracy cannot accomplish its purpose unless the citizens obey the laws. Next, a good citizen should be willing to co-operate voluntarily and intelligently, performing such duties as serving on juries, holding public office when elected, and military service. The right to vote cannot be over-emphasized. The voters elect representa¬ tives to carry out their will in matters of government. Men of honesty and of good character should be elected to represent them. The responsibility for good representatives is upon the voters. In a democracy there is a battle of ballots to elect the representative; in a dictatorship there is sometimes a battle of bullets to end the rule of those in power. In order to vote intelligently, the voters must be interested in what is going on in their community, their province and their country. They should know the opinions of various candidates. Information can be sought by reading newspapers, magazine articles, listening to radio broadcasts, and speeches given by leading citizens. A good citizen should try to be impartial and think the matter over carefully before voting. It is the duty of a good citizen to take part in his community activities. Clubs and organizations have been set up to work for the good of the com¬ munity. Examples of these are church groups, Red Cross, Victorian Order of Nurses, and many service clubs. It is then the duty of the citizen to be loyal to the various groups with which he is associated. Let us realize some of the privileges which we enjoy, as the result of living in a democratic Canada. We have beautiful parks and playgrounds; paved, well-lighted streets. We are protected by a police force. For part of our education we can attend free schools; when older, we may choose any occupation. We may select our own friends, and have the privilege of speaking freely on any subject. We may choose the church we wish to attend. These are privileges belonging only to citizens in a democracy. If our democracy is going to be successful, our citizens must be intelligent and well-educated. They must cultivate an active and logical public opinion. They must have a spirit of co-operation and good-will with their fellow-citizens. They must show their patriotism by taking part in public affairs and trying to do their very best for the welfare of the country. Considering all these things, it is citizenship that is the keynote of democracy. — 10 — Nineteen Fifty - ESCAPE My heart was heavy laden, I knew no joys of peace In the busy world in which I lived Where noise seemed not to cease. I wandered far away one day, To a place where great trees stood; And an arbour, a beautiful gateway Was an entrance to the wood. And as I walked into the wood, The arbour disappeared, But something seemed to tell me There was nothing to be feared. The surroundings were almost silent. But for a bubbling stream, Which wound in and out Through the velvet green. Here and there along the way Fragrant flowers stood, Which added grace and beauty To that enchanted wood. But soon the arbour re-appeared: Reluctantly I went Compelled, it seemed by an unseen force. Resentful of the time I ' d spent. And oh, in vain how I have searched, Even in dreams for that lost wood. I ' d leave all earthly troubles And live there, if I could. —Joann Rome 11A IT ' S REALLY NOT SO BAD Junior Poem The alarm clock rings, at a quarter to seven, To stay in bed would surely be heaven, But your bus you must catch, half a mile away; Is this a good start for any day? When you get to school, you expect to be warm, But sometimes you wish you had never been born; You look in your memory, see at a glance Yourself at home reading. Love ' s Romance. You say that you hate school, but I doubt if that ' s true, For when you don ' t have it you wish that you do; You seem to like one teacher, the other you don ' t, But when you get down to it you like them both. School is over, till next morning at seven, Joy, laughter and happiness reign; But unless you re at school, you ' re really not living, So you re always willing to go there again. —Beverly Trevail 9D PHOEBUS - —11 — Nineteen Fifty PHOEBUS - r- o DOOMED FREEDOM Senior Composition I sat nervously in a large leather chair which almost swallowed me from sight. People around me were talking in low, muffled voices. My conception of the whole affair was hopeless but it had been planned and I was a victim of doomed life. Many people were wringing their hands with glee to see such an incident happen to me; others secretly wept. Someone touched my arm and motioned towards the door. This was it; my last ride of freedom. The car was ready, and when seated, I found myself flanked by two large men whose faces were tense with glee. No one spoke, for they all were thinking of my oncoming doom. I had given up hope for I realized too late, that there was no backing out. Destiny was not far off. The car lurched to a sudden stop. I was pushed out in front of a large stone, bleak looking building. There were cars on every side of the road, hundreds of people standing around, some sober faced, others with thirsty eyes, all waiting to enter and hear the official proceedings. I was directed into the building, down a hallway and into a small room, which was very stuffy. Here several men joined us and we all seated ourselves. The sun shone through the bleak windows; the room was sweltering, and the time slowly ticked by. In the silence, voices were heard, and many strange sounds of a large group of people were audible. A soft knock jolted every man to his senses. The door was opened and I slowly walked out into the large room before a huge mass of staring faces. I stood before a man who had ruled many cases like my own. His features were blank, his eyes cold and staring. When he spoke his voice was low and monotonous. He spoke for several minutes, then questioned me. I answered readily, for I was becoming tired and longed for the fresh air again. There was a pause; everyone was waiting breathlessly for these last words. He drew a deep breath, slowly raised his hand and announced in a slow, steady voice: I now pronounce you man and wife. —Garrett B. Smith 11A THE TROUBLES OF A TRAMP Junior Composition As the rain beat upon the paved street unmercifully, a bedraggled form staggered up the church steps and crouched into the protecting cranny. He dare not go in; at least not now while his mind was in its present turmoil. His confused thoughts came back no matter how hard he tried to push them out— thoughts of his wife, of his seven-year-old boy, Jimmy, of the comfort of the white cottage he had left years before to enter into this new world of harsh, cruel, brutal ways. A car crept along, shoving its way through the heavy curtain of rain, while he followed it with wistful eyes, wishing he were the driver driving back to Illinois, to his wife and child—what was the use of dreaming? That would never be. With a faint shrug of his shoulders, he stumbled down the steps, and slowly faded into the rain and mist, leaving behind, whirling in a muddy puddle of water, a picture—a picture of a woman and child. —Anne Bellez — 12 — Nineteen Fifty c+ 9 - PHOEBUS -(T ' fO A WALK IN THE SPRING Junior Poem Let us take a walk through the wood, While we are in this imaginative mood; Let us observe Nature ' s guiding hand, Throughout this scenic, colourful land. Along a rocky ledge there dwells A fairy with her sweet blue-bells; Singing and dancing through the day, Enchanting all things in her delicate way. A brilliant blue-jay scolds a rabbit, Lecturing him on his playful habit. A lovely butterfly flits through the air, As though in this world it hasn ' t a care. The many birds give their mating calls, Lovelier than the Harp in Tara ' s Halls: A wary doe and her speckled fawn. Creep silently along on their moss-covered lawn. Water cress line the banks of a stream That is the answer to a fisherman ' s dream; Teeming with trout and large black bass That scoot for cover as we noisily pass. The v-line of the geese reappear, Showing that spring is actually here; The swampy marshes are full of duck, In the water and on the muck. The air is filled with a buzzing sound, From above and from the (ground: The air is heavy with the scent of flowers, Of new buds, and evergreen bowers. This precedes Nature ' s endless show, Of all things, both friend and foe, Living in her vast domain, And under her wise rule and reign. Thus within her kingdom lies, Filling scenes for hungry eyes; Also treasures of this natural world, Which, if watched carefully, will be’unfurled. —David Suzuki — 13 — Nineteen Fifty c+j - LIBRARY CLUB PHOEBUS - r o BACK ROW: Jean Dawson, Ois Hyatt, Dorothy Yeung, Joam?

The Club is sponsored by Miss Ellwood, and under the direction of Sylvia Willms. At both the school and county meets, the Library Club had a profitable hot dog booth. The work done in the library is often unnoticed by the students, but every member of the Club deserves a great deal of praise for their splendid work and co-operation. — 14 — Nineteen r.fly c i PHCEPUS tfiieiia.

Gamma emerged on top in the House League with Beta holding second. A three game series was played against Tilbury with Alpha, Delta and Gamma providing the opposition. The closest to victory was Gamma with a 1 to 1 tie. The school team played Sandwich Collegiate of Windsor and, while losing, gained valuable experience. The mentor of the School and Gamma teams was Mr. Clem Forman, who was for several years a coach at Walkerville Collegiate. The other coaches in the House League were Mr. Nicholson, Beta; Mr. Bishop, Delta; and Mr. Gleeson, Alpha. A County League is anticipated for next year. SOFTBALL When the warm summer months commenced softball became the most important sport of the Leamington Hi gh School students. In the Senior League the Deltas made a comeback after the two-vear slump and overcame the Beta boys in the final game to win the Senior Championship. Also in the past season a junior class of ball was carried on. Beta proved to be the stronger team by defeating Gamma in the playoffs, capturing the Junior Boys Crest. At the beginning of the school year the Grade 9 ' s were organized into teams according to their Houses. Some of the boys appeared a bit rusty on the game, but a few will make the junior and possibly the senior teams next season. The Beta squad, much to our surprise, defeated Gamma to win the series. Agam the Gamma girls captured the championship for this season ' s softball, although Delta was close. Isabelle Stewart, captain of the Gamma team, received the cup and crests presented by Mr. Cobbeldick on behalf of the Leamington High School Board. As the softball leagues are no longer able to draw suffient public support to operate without a loss, and as football and basketball require any extra House funds for their continued operation, it is the opinion of the staff that the softball leagues cannot function in 1950. Our lights and benches should be moved this summer to the football field and this fall your football can be made a paying proposition.

Under the direction of Mr. Graham, the club is now preparing several numbers for the annual Open Night.

DRUM AND BUGLE CORPS Under the direction of Mr. Lougheed, the drum and bugle corps is getting into fine shape for the various activities taking place this spring and summer. The bugle corps is one of the leading organizations for boys in the school. There are thirty-five members enrolled this year, with nineteen buglers and fifteen drummers. The new drummers enrolled in 1949 are showing splendid progress under Mr. Lougheed ' s patient direction, and will probably have a chance to show the results of their hard work this summer. Last fall the football games were supported by the bugle and drums corps at all school and house games. They have done a splendid job in the cadet drills, and should be praised for their efforts. With Mr. Lougheed ' s aid and direction, the Drum and Bugle Corps will be one of the top organizations not only in the high school but in the town of Leamington as well. —Millicent Walley — 23 — Nineteen Fifty c+s - CADET OFFICERS PHOEBUS -c- o BACK ROW: Lloyd Johnston, Ernie Towes, Ernie Wiebe, Sydney Chase, Jake Boldt, Richard Hicks, Herbert King, Kenneth Phibbs, Fred Jacobs, Keith Gowanlock.

At Cadet Inspection the cadets expect to put on an elaborate dis¬ play, using blank ammunition, smoke bombs, camouflage and having some students act as the enemy. As in the past years, there will also be a display consisting of a march past of the corps, boys P.T. and a display of judo. The whole corps hopes that you will attend the inspection and will thoroughly enjoy the display.

MAJORETTES In 1946, the Leamington High School introduced a Majorette Corps, which has increased to a present enrolment of thirty-seven. The recently enrolled members are classified as Juniors and the others are Seniors. Eight or nine juniors will be selected to join the Senior Corps. All majorettes have regulation batons, but only the Seniors have uniforms. The uniforms are white satin with short pleated skirts, and a trim-fitting jacket which has gold braid trim on the shoulders. The outfits have smart hats and boots to match. Recently the Majorettes performed at Comber and Wheatley with the Senior Glee Club. Last fall the Drum Corps and the Bugle Corps were joined by the Majorettes at the football games, and the cadets were supported by their fine performance. —Millicent Walley — 26 — Nineteen Fifty P HOEBUS __ _ - SENIOR MAJORETTES FRONT ROW: Miss Ellwood (director).

The club has a larger enrolment this year than in previous years, and there is no doubt that it will increase in size in the near future. Late in January, a play, Party Line, was presented to the student body, and to the staff of the school. The play showed careful training and preparation on the part of the actors and actresses.

Three hundred and sixty-three joined in the merry-making at the Straw Stack Strut. Perhaps because it was a hard-time party this was the largest attendance of any dance this year. Our profit for the evening, over one hundred and ten dollars, broke all previous records in the financial standing of the houses. At present. Alpha House is trailing in attendance, but with co-operation from the students, should soon be able to offer strong competition to any house. The executive of Alpha House wishes to take this opportunity to express its sincere appreciation to the members of Alpha for their loyal support during the 1949-50 term.

We still have Ping Pong, Volley Ball and Public Speaking Competitions in which to capture the honours. On December 9, Gamma House had its annual dance called the Holly Hop. The gymnasium was decorated in typical Christmas style, with a Christ¬ mas tree placed in the centre of the floor. Mr. Forman acted as our Santa Claus for the night.

Delta possesses one of the finest groups of cheer leaders who aided the Delta softball team win that crest in the fall and turn out for any athletic activities. As the executive is a very social group they have held several meetings outside of school. One meeting was held in the Fall to make crests and prepare for field day. Another was an executive party in January sponsored by the captain and v’ce captain. A very enjoyable evening was spent and plans were formed for the Delta dance. This dance, Delta ' s Cupid Capers, was held February 17. Much time and effort was spent by the executive to make this dance a huge success. The decorations especially were very elaborate, and many very fine compliments were received by the executive. The results of this dance speak for themselves on the splendid co-operation between the students and sponsors. In basketball, we have our teams in the play-offs. We are leading for the attendance crest, and are preparing our public speakers with the object of retaining the public speaking crest. It is the hope of the Delta executive to undertake some project for the remainder of the year which will serve to utilize the assets of the executive and show our interest in our community. —Ann Bradley — 37 — Nineteen Fifty C sB PHOEBUS -«-«o PHOEBUS REPRESENTATIVES FRONT ROW: Rosemary Belluz.

Always chew gum during school periods. It arouses the teachers interest in you and gives you a wide-awake appearance. 2. If any period proves boring, begin to read your favourite comic book. This will make you the centre of attention. 3. Try to be late each morning. It presents a wonderful opportunity for private discussions with the principal. 4. When asked a question by the teacher, answer in a roundabout man¬ ner. It gives you a mysterious air. 5. Before going to sleep in class, raise your hand so that the teacher may know you are to be awakened at the end of the period. 6. Never do your homework, no matter how little it may be. You re taking the risk of getting into the habit of it. 7. Pupils who drive Buicks, Packards and larger cars must never park them in front of the school. It is exceedingly difficult in such cases for the teachers to get their Model T ' s out. 8. loin a Trade Union, then on your next detention, nonchalantly state that you are not allowed to work overtime—it might work. 9.

They give us homework to do each night, So we work and slave with all our might. 11B Eleven B has a long reputation For causing trouble And sometimes sensation; For following in History, English and Maths, And raising cain in the Physics class. It ' s the class that ' s voted most likely to fail, Not worried a bit by results in the mail— That ' s our class. And Miss Scott, our poor harassed teacher of Art, Has an awful time Checking and trying to part Us from our habits Of running around like scared rabbits; But of all the classes, I have a hunch, Eleven B is the happiest bunch— That ' s our class. lie First place, second place, third place or vowel? These are the questions which make us howl. This is shorthand as you probably know, And in this subject our marks are low. —Doug Robinson 11D We are the students of 11D, Our work is always done.

Eddie ' s only five foot two, But there ' s not much he can ' t do. Whether the incentive is work or Faye, Burgess comes to school almost every day. The Thespian Drama Group ' s delight Is Juliet Cole, a star so bright. Lovely hair, lovely eyes, Gary ' s a wolf, but in disguise. Through his life has wandered many a lass; For Don is the Casanova of our class. Hair of gold, eyes of blue, Ron Edwards is six feet, too. Jo Ann and Margaret are a new addition; From Wheatley, Ontario, they ' re more competition. In basketball, Emerson really flies; He shoots, but never with open eyes. Ingrid Haupt is a lot of fun, Her morning greeting, Got your Latin done. Barbara Henning looks nice in pink, Her favourite expression, the stupid gink. Faye is a blond, the kind men prefer; To find the reason just take a look at her. Joe Hodovick is our mathematician; To do deductions is his only ambition. Bob is a guy we like a lot, And with a rifle he ' s a real crack shot. — 49 — Nineteen Fifty c o PHOEBUS Lila Ives, a teacher to be, I hope she won ' t be teaching me. For a lad that ' s really tall Eric Klassen tops them all. Linda is the talkative type, Whether wrong or whether right. As a Latin student Barbara Jean may not be so bright, Biit otherwise she does all right. On the basketball floor he ' ll really run, That Nikashima, he ' s lots of fun. Boris doesn ' t bother with physics and biology, Because he ' s already a doctor of Poolhallogy. For field day champion we have Joyce, There is no doubt, she ' s our choice. Short and stalky, dark and gay, Joe Videki turned out that way. As a guard on Delta ' s basketball team Greta Welsh is on the beam. Roger bos girls from bolh near and far, Is it he or just his car? Ann only came at the beginning of the year, But it seems just like she ' s always been here. A real cute chick is a gal named Dot; What it takes she sure has got.

E is for Edith, who is always happy and gay, She ' s another swell girl who came from Wheatley. F is for Fox, there are two in our class, Noble is the laddie and Jean the lass. G s for Graydon, our football hero, And also for Georgia, whose nickname is Zero . H !s for Howe, whose talk is slow.

M is for Maurice, who on The Phoebus staff is. At writing poems and stories he is a whiz. N is for nuisance, MacDonell by name, For all noise in 12B, Bob gets the blame. O is for Omstead, her first name is Elaine, At field day this year she won great fame. P is for Peter, he says he loves 12B, But it seems he forgets us when he sees 12C. O is for Quartermaster, that ' s Pewson the job. You have to work hard, but I got my L , said Bob. R is for Russell, a Thespian ham, 1 think he ' s wonderful, because that ' s who I am.

U is for Us, every scholar in 12B, We are also athletes as you will see. V is for veal which is a kind of meat, But John Hamm, vou can not eat.

Second on the list comes Annie B„ - Who ' s full of fun and gaiety. You should hear Dotty Brackett play, She ' s the Jascha Heifitz of 13A. Betty Cooper hails from Wheatley, She always does her work very neatly. Harold finds some things quite clear, Must be the Leamington atmosphere. Edith ' s voice is not too lusty, Even though her hair is rusty. To Miss Tilden it ' s still a mystery Why Mike left math, to come to history. Mary Hairsine is unusually clever, A failure by her has happened never. Of the same calibre is Rita Friesen, She ' s really smart and we ' re not teasin. Though Victor is a little shy, He returned to L.H.S. for another try. Next on the roll is Ola Hyatt, She ' s very pleasant but rather quiet. — 52 — Nineteen Fifty PHOEBUS lake Lougheed plays trombone real grand. Perhaps some day she ' ll lead a band. Our baseball star is Slugger Tess, Can she pitch? Well, 1 guess. Bruce heads for pharmacy, that ' plain, Naturally it ' s approved by lane. In chemistry Rudy plays leading part, Bored or not, he must be smart. Bronte ' s novel may be alright, But Petrychuk is our Withering Height . Close behind him is Robert Snell, Who’s writing th ' s poem, none too well. Stevenson shows up once in a while, Thera ' s no book n his hand but he ' s wearing a smile. From Staples comes our Jerry Thurston, He’s got so much to do he ' s nearly burstin ' . Though math, is out of Tippett ' s line, He finds his interest on Concession nine.
