CLASS XC-ROOM 2 X-G, which is an all girls room has spent a year of school and during that time our room entered a team for both inter-room basketball and volleyball. We were not successful in winning the championship for the school in either of these but we were successful in the sense that everyone enjoyed herself. Diane Bell played guard on the Varsity Basketball Team for Miles Macdonell. She is X-G’s athlete. Joyce Craven and Penny Burlington both belonged to the Badmin¬ ton Club which met on Monday nights. We chose Joyce Craven as our class president and it certainly was not a mistake. Joyce kept us posted on the school happenings and what our Student Council was considering and also what it was doing at all times. The vice-president was Penny Burling¬ ton. She was a great help to Joyce. The other class representatives were: Ruth Beckett—secretary- treasurer, Vicki Gavin—Social Representative, Dor¬ een McMillan—Year Book representative, and Diane Bell—Sports representative. All did the best they could with the positions they were given. Joyce Craven took part in our school’s Variety Concert by acting in the play “Tickless Time.” The play was well acted and well enjoyed. Kuni Omotani, Diane Bell and Penny Burlington took part behind the scenes. X-G wishes to express their thanks to Vicki Gaven who pulled X-G’s blinds down whenever they got stuck at the top. Without her help we would have spent many a sunny Science period. During the year we lost three of our classmates. They were: Carollee Glowacki, Silva Olson, and Penny Bouma, who moved to Minneapolis. The num¬ ber of girls left is now 25. If it weren’t for Carollee Glowacki, Miles Mac- donell’s Yearbook would be without a name again. This fast-thinking girl with the overwhelming per¬ sonality thought up the name “Macadonian.” To sum it up 1959-60 was a year that we in X-G will not soon forget. —Doreen McMillan 42

We have made our pres¬ ence felt. Truly, this is a cosmopolitan room, rang¬ ing the full breadth of the alphabet from A (Allar¬ dyce) to Z (Zurba). Naturally, such a range of human material would make for a great room. This year of ’59 and ’60 was a complete room of boys, to be exact 23. This year saw our boys taking part in many events. At the beginning of the year, when class voting was taking place, Room 5 elected the following executives: John Rozall: President Reg Carson: Vice-President Cliff Beall: Secretary-Treas. Ken Dere: Sports Rep. Stan Halipchuk: Year Book Rep. and Paper Rep. Terry Cunningham: Social Rep. Our class president did a tremendous job in keep¬ ing the boys conversant with school council’s decis¬ ions. In curling our contribution was Douglas Mc¬ Kenzie. We had several avid bowlers from our room, Lawrence Morris, Les Mortinson, Cliff Beall, Rick Macphail, Ron Allardyce, Brian Haines and Dave Kemp. Not only is Dave an interested bowler but ranks highly as an agile, alert pin-setter at “Kam- rath’s Lanes.” The basketball fiends from our room are Allan Turczak, Les Martinson, John Cheele, Douglas McKenzie, Lawrence Morris, Reg Carson, and Wayne Zurba who was coach. These made up the core of our team. Some terrific playing was exhibited by these boys. Wayne Zurba was a member of the school’s Varsity Basketball Team. He is also the proud owner of one of the team’s white sweaters with the big M’s. When it was time for our boys to pick a girl for the Sweetheart Swirl, we chose Bev McCall of Room 13. Although she didn’t win all of us still think she is a sweetheart anyhow. The man with the high average is Lawrence Morris. Although we are not bright in French, our discussions on some topics, particularly with Geography, can rival those of the City Council. City Hall, here we come! We almost had a tenor from our room in the Glee Club which was featured in the Variety Concert. Much to our chagrin he dropped out because sing¬ ing practice interfered with basketball practice. Wayne Gibson is a member of the “Guardians.” Through the “Guardians” we are informed as to the condition of the local roads and other automotive in¬ formation. Culturally, Miles Mac’s journal, the “Echo” was helped along the way by Stan Halipchuk, our class reporter. Truly, he was versatile, stapling, distributing papers, collecting money and pressuring students to purchase the various editions. Tumbling was successfully attempted by all. Mod¬ estly speaking, perhaps our strength lay in the field of Physical Education. The basics were perfected along with some “nip ups” hand springs, neck springs and head stands. During dancing instruction the boys attempted to dance and although some were successful, the majority still danced as if they had two left feet. It was fun and tremendously enjoyed. These sessions were a success because after the danc¬ ing classes, boys would be humming the tunes and executing the dance steps that they had just learned. Vaudeville, look out! Not to be outshone by anyone extra-curricularly, X-F demonstrated its abilities at the track and field meets. —Sian Halipchuk 41

The President of our room is John Hunter who is always ready and willing to do anything asked by the class. During the year we have had speakers to talk about the different fields of retailing. We had a personnel man from the Eaton Co. speaking to us; Joe Daley acted the part of applying for a position. Everyone in the class learned and enjoyed the ad¬ dress. The top five students in our room this year are: 1. Norm Penner 65.8 2. Pete Seimons 64.4 3. Ron Parkes 63 4. Jerry Falzarano 61.5 5. Buddy Mager 60.5 Ken Benedictson who takes an active part on the Social Committee has done a lot this year to get our school dances organized. He also takes part in our inter-room activities in the sports field. As the days come and go in the school year, some of the students also come and go. Doug Marshall, who went to General Wolfe School last year is new to East Kildonan schools. Students that have left our room this year to accept positions are: David Kam- stra, Brian Cruikshank and Garry Greening. The sports representative for XH is Larry “Loop- er” Lacomey. He has done a good job this year in organizing teams in our room for the inter-room sports activities. Our inter-room basketball team went all the way to the finals for the grade tens this year, but eventually lost out. Gordon Corke was the star of our basketball team and stood out in every game we played. He was also the high scorer in the room. In the finals Norman Mitchell played great games and seemed to sink every shot he took at the basket. The whole team really tried hard but the breaks seemed to go the other way. Our room will really be trying hard on field day to pick up a few points. Since our room is all boys we have a lot of fine athletes to enter. Everyone in our room tries as hard as they can to keep it up to par with the rest of the grade ten rooms. It would be hard to take each person separately and tell about him as it seems everyone in the room helps as much as possible in anything we have to do. —Roger Henderson 43
