CLASS XB-ROOM 18 After having started our first, and we hope success¬ ful, year in senior high school, I’m sure not a few were bewildered at the difference from previous school years, but towards the end of the first month we found ourselves adjusting. X-B held class elections and the class officers are as follows: President: Tom Hinds Vice-Preident: John Harper Secretary-Treasurer: John Heath Boys’ Sports Representative: Gordon Funk Girls’ Sports Representative: Sandra Johnson Social Committee: John Mallin T.A.B.: June Hunter John Heath disproved the theory that girls make the better secretaries. He has done well in looking after X-B ' s financial affairs. Our class officers have done a fine job this school term and I’m sure everyone appreciates their efforts. When the Variety Concert rolled around X-B contributed its share of workers and performers. The sweet voices of Treasure Fraser, Karen Komar¬ chuk, and Beverly Horn were to be heard in the Glee Club. Don Buccini played trumpet in the school band. The rest were too bashful to perform on stage so they lent their helping hand backstage. Sandra John¬ son was the originator of the alluring purple costume with flower bedecked hat worn by one of the mademoiselles in the beauty contest. Lome Hys- nicki, Ken Faircloth, and Susan Heatherington help¬ ed in the set department. June Hunter was on make¬ up staff, and Doug Hawkes worked on sound engin¬ eering. Sandra Johnson was the girl we chose to represent X-B at the Sweetheart Dance. Now to get around to the sport department—X-B entered a boys’ and a girls’ team in the Intra-Mural basketball league, but they weren’t too successful. X-B has quite a few bowling enthusiasts, namely Karol Plezia, Susan Heatherington, Sandra Johnson, June Hunter, Ken Morris, Ken Faircloth, John Har¬ per, and last but not least Tom Hinds. Tom showed his ability as a bowler in being chosen as one of the top bowlers who represented Miles Macdonell in the Inter-High Bowling Competition. X-B is not lacking in curlers with Arlene Jones, Ron Harman, and our own teacher, Mr. Green who was the teacher-sponsor for the curling league. We also have in our midst a member of the varsity boys’ basketball team, John “Misty” Mallin and a member of the boys’ varsity volleyball team, John Harper. John Harper played in the Schmolleyball game at¬ tired in an oversized diaper, baby-bonnet, and box¬ ing gloves. X-B did well in the scholastic field with the first five people in rank having averages above 80%. In order, they were Marilyn Knox, June Hunter, Karen Komarchuk, Beverly Horn, and Susan Heatherington. All in all this has been a good year and everyone is looking forward to passing in June. —June Hunter 37

Our girls, not to be left out of any discussion, (lit¬ erally), have also taken an active part in sports. They never give up until the final whistle, which accounts for their winning a hotly contested basketball game with a rival room by the overwhelming score of 1-0. This victory may be attributed to Beverly Edwards, who is our secretary-treasurer. Now we turn from athletics to the more demanding field of scholastic achievement. Our top student is Marlene Balzar, who is followed very closely by Eleanor Berezuk. Eleanor, besides being an excep¬ tional student, is also our class president, a fact at¬ testing to her popularity among her classmates. Throughout the year, we have been rescued from the dark depths of despair by the antics of one Bill Lang, who can be counted on to break up the class at almost any given moment by the not-always- quiet muttering of some hilarious comment. Bill, al¬ though not one of the top students, is by far the most noticeable in the room. Other class notables are Barbara Clisby, who is the class representative of the social committee; Les¬ lie Clark, who is our girls’ sports representative, and Joan Dunthorne, who is the Teen-Age Book Club representative in X-A. In closing my report, I would like to wish all my classmates good luck in the forth-coming examina¬ tions, and I sincerely hope that everyone will pass the term with good marks, and will go on to attain even higher heights in grade 11. —Mel Bush CLASS XA-ROOM 13 This year, our class, X-A has been fortunate in that we have been able to supply a few exceptional athletes for our school teams. Dave “Mouse” Confrey, who is one of the funnier boys in our class, also has the distinction of being an active participant in almost all sports. Through the school year, he has played on the volleyball and basketball teams, and will probably take an active part in our annual field day. Dave is one of the top scorers on the basketball courts, and is also the room’s sports representative. Doug Birt is another of X-A’s contributions to the athletic field. He has played on the volleyball and basketball teams, and because of his efforts, was chosen as an All-Star player. This is not his only field of endeavour, however, as he is also our vice- president. Doug is well known around the school because of his high number of points achieved on the basketball court. With due respect to the other rooms, I must men¬ tion yet another star of X-A, Bob Brickey. Bob has earned the title of “Black Magic,” no doubt because of his fantastic ability to hit the ’ol ring from almost anywhere on the court. Bob has also earned the unofficial title of being one of the quietest and fun¬ niest boys in the class. Speaking for the whole class, I feel that all three of these boys must be congratulated and accorded the honour due them, in spite of possible outcry 36
