Form VI jc -LL of us in Form Six will remember the term of ' 54 and ' 55. For some, athletic events, for others, class activities or social events, will provide nostalgic memories. The year has been one of enjoyment, as well as one of profit. Foremost in our memories will be our school party, Winter Wonderland : its early planning, the arguments over arrangements, and the last minute rushing and the success of the party itself. We owe much of this success to the Chairman, Joanne Craig, and to Donna Burk and Bev. Douglas, the Literary Representatives, for their frantic, lasp- minute preparations. The stage show was lauded by all. Earl Fletcher and Ross Hickling in their skit revealed a new touch of comedy genius of insanity. Irv. Horton and Doug. Hardy were also hits with their version of Sisters. An added attraction was some hand-balancing by Doug. Hardy and two boys from Central Collegiate. We also had a kick-line: Eleanor Chitty, Marg. Campbell, Barb. Cooper, Elaine Cole, Pat. Carter, Kay Campbell, Yal. Davidson, and Shirley Donaldson under Jack Harris ' training. No one will or can ever forget our highlight of the night: the beauty contest, and ravishing and beauteous creatures parading across the stage in flamboyant arrays of fashion. Of you, Miss (?) Jack Harris, crowned Miss L.T.C. of ' 55, all future generations of teachers shall know. In music, Form Six was well represented. In the Concert at South Collegiate, the boys ' octet had Earl Fletcher, Ross Hickling and Terry Hanson. Throughout the year many singing groups were formed: The Moonshiners with Harry Fiddler, Douglas Hardy, Irving Horton and Don. Smith of Form Four, the Gleesome Threesome with Irv., Harry, and Arnie McCallum of Form Seven. The Glee Club found many members in Form Six. In sports, Form Six also held the limelight. The boys captured the soccer and volley-ball championships. Irv. Horton, Garry Douglas, Tom Hoffman, Doug. Hardy, Earl Fletcher, and Harry Fiddler were on the school basketball team. Alvin Gilles, Glen Duff and Earl Fletcher were on the school volley ball team. Peter Gazzola will remember the noon-hour games of floor hockey. Spectators and players will remember the blood and gore around Pete ' s nets. Form Six girls were also active in athletics. They were runners-up in the volley-ball and basketball championships, but lost to the all-girl forms. Elaine Cole and Barbara Cooper were on the school volley-ball and basketball teams. We had two class parties: a weiner roast and skating party. Eleanor Chitty was director for the November Literary Programme called Negro Slavery. Doug. Nixon will be remembered as Flash, photographer for Form Six. Doug, was present at all our activities and thanks to him we have concrete proof of our antics. For all of us, memories will live of Mr. Hyde, staff advisor, and Form Six, L.T.C, 1955- GLEN EASTABROOK Page 28, Spectrum, 1955
