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

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

Form III In September, 1953, more than fifty students (with doubts in their minds) entered the Two-Year Course at Teachers ' College. There were differences in background, age and experience. Today, Form III is one big happy family, sharing remembrances of happy times in the two years spent together. Time and weather permitting, the members have always been eager for a get-together. A Fall wiener roast was held at Gibbons Park. Another outdoor highlight was the skating party held at London West Park. Since many had not tried the blades for some time, the spill-and-thrill method was most prevalent; however, happy and hungry skaters returned to the College to end the evening with refreshments and sing-song. Two members of Form III, Morley Patterson, Prime Minister of the Student Parliament, and Lois-Anne Hall, President of the Literary Society, have done much for the school. Marked creative ability has been shown by Brian Hunter, designer of the Spectrum cover, and Bruce Chapman, designer of the school crest and Past President of the Glee Club. Although many of the girls of the class are hopefuls, Donna Baughmann was the only one to succeed in flashing a diamond. She has ' far to go yet before catching up to Mrs. Harrington, who produced a new grandchild this year. As the time approaches when we are to take our first positions, feelings of loneliness creep over us. Our class- mates and masters will never be forgotten. JIM HARRISON Page 12, Spectrum, 1955
