Form I J- ORM I was very well numbered this year, for in most school activities they were first. They were the first to give the students both round and square dancing at a school party, and thereby set a pattern which was followed throughout the year by other classes. Although Form I never became sports champion, it did become a runner-up on several occasions. Members of the Form were the spark plugs of the school basketball team, Marvin Le Clair being the high scorer on the boys ' team. The fearsome fivesome formed Form I ' s own personal basketball team. Among their opponents were groups from Paris, Ingersoll, Watford, and even clubs which our own College team had played. During the season Form I ' s team lost one game and that by only 2 points. Class representatives to the school committees were: Representative on the Student Parliament, Marvin Le Clair; Literary Representative, Ann Gordon; Girls ' Athletic Committee, Marilyn Hutton; Boys ' Athletic Committee, Jim Castle; Elected editor of the Year Book, Jim Graves. In the opinion of many, the Form I literary programme was the best of the year. It too was a series of firsts. It was the first and only literary programme to supply printed programmes which gave the names of the cast and of other helpers; the first programme which did not lose time by opening and closing curtains between numbers; and the best timed production, using all but 37 seconds of the time allowed. Form I had only one class party during the year. It found such gatherings unnecessary, as everyone was always very sociable. There were no little groups in Form I; they were one for all and all for I. With spirit such as Form I ' s, we can look forward to another successful year in 1956. J.G. Pase 10, Spectrum, 1955

Morley Patterson Student Prime Minister Prime Minister ' s Message T JL HIS year of College has been one which I can say I ve enjoyed to the fullest extent. The co-operation of both staff and students has made it a most enjoyable experience. Together this vear we have set a record which, I believe, may well prove » challenge to future classes — as a record to be maintained, not to mention exceeded. W hen we go out to our respective classrooms in September of this year, we shall understand more fully the importance of what we have learned here. We shall realize the great responsibilitv which is ours to help mould the minds and characters of Canada ' s future citizens. None of us will forget the delightful times we spent at the College. Such pleasant interludes as parties, sports, c ommon room activities and literary programs will never be forgotten; neither will the associations formed and the incidents enjoyed in our particular forms. I ' m sure that each one of us has also realized while being at College that God, our Creator, has a definite place in a teacher ' s life. By applying the knowledge we have learned at L. T. C, by using to the full the talents that God has given us; and by placing our trust in an omnipresent and omnipotent God, we can make our full contribution to life and derive the utmost satisfaction in so doing. Best of Luck, everyone, MORLEY PATTERSON, Prime Minister, L. T. C. STUDENT PARLIAMENT Seated (L. to R.): Lorraine Walker, Jeanette Webster (Secy.), Morley Patterson (P.M.), Ted Taylor (Treas.), Marg.

Form II We E are the other half of the folks in the first year of the two year Course. You may not have heard much about us, but that doesn ' t mean we haven ' t been around. We helped Forms I, III and IV in the fall on the boys ' Soccer, Football and Volleyball teams. We have placed members of our class on all but one of the school teams. Ted Taylor, our Money Man in Parliament, makes his home with us. For our party, we combined with Form I to bring to the College the best all-round dance and entertainment programme. This programme allowed for a perfect set-up with round dancing in the Common Room and square dancing in the Gym. For out literary programme, we entertained the student body with a play on the history of the Red Cross. Janice Mills was our representative to the Literary Society. Phil Sorrill was elected as vice-president in the College Christian Fellowship and we hope to hear more from him next year. What would the Cheer Leaders be like without the help of our Mary Jane O ' Rourke? We come from places as far apart as Windsor and Woodstock, Parkhill and St. Thomas, but we have worked as a team to improve the spirit of L. T. C. The following are the members of that great team: Marlene Mackenzie Kathryn MacMillan Maurine McCarron Ruth McEachran Lois McKillop Bob McPherson Ann Nabb Carol Needham Janet Nussey Joan Oliver Dorothy O ' Neill Trudy Pickard Martha Deacon Betty Richardson Evelyn Sharrow Eileen Sovie Arlene Stanley Helen Stipsky Joyce Swan John Thomas Shirley Thompson Ann Tuffin Glen Wales Mary Watson Kay Winterhalt Carol Anne Wounch — and Yours Truly Tom Noble. 1955 Spectrum, Page 11
