Sidney Ackerman: Among other things Sid has been Oakwood ' s very own Yascha Heifetz during his music career in grade 9 and 10. He has participated widely during his career et Oakwood. Among his varied activities are basketball, basketball, basketball and sometimes for variety a little basketball. He has been both our Junior and Senior Basketball Teams. Sid has an uncanny aversion to flunking exams. His future lies in accountancy. Bruce Amos: To find Bruce ' s past activi- ties, let the past be (Ei) Therefore, Ei i= the chess club, the orchestra. Welfare Com- mittee, swim team, cross-country and gym team. Bruce dislikes people who compli- ment him on his work for actually he does not like studying. He had difficulty collecting in 13F Wednesday morning but vje hope that a few years in M.P.C. will teach him how to add. Rosalind Adier: Roz has been an avid musical acorn since grade nine. She has participated in both Junior and Senior Orchestra. Passing time in past time is her pastime, she tells me, but she really means that her pastime is passing time, naturally. Roz hates getting up for school in the morning and her future is obtain- ing her Senior Matric in ' 64 and attending the U. of T. John Angel: His friends all agree that his presence at O.C.I, indicates England ' s loss and Canada ' s gain. John enjoys pretend- ing that he is passing exams (reality?) We might also add that he makes quite an impressive rag-picker. The future will see him entering the Ontario College of Art and then the intrigues of rag-picking and the world. Solly AdIer: Solly was in the cadet band long ago but soon after he joined, the band was abolished. The remainder of his past is very obscure. He is looking for- ward to getting out of Oakwood as soon as possible. Elisabeth Ainslie: From the first Liz has been an art student ( they couldn ' t think of anything else to do with me. ) Liz is forever complaining that time flies when you don ' t want it to — and doesn ' t when y ou do. Her future is England and France . . . and che sera, sera. Her pastimes are— well, she told me what they were and made me promise not to tell. Fred Armstrong 13F: Fred has made not- able contributions to 13F this year— by way of his treatise on Hamlet and his eye-opening delivery. In his 15 years of school, he has lived by this code; Ask not what your teachers can do for you but what you can do to them! Next year, Fred intends to enter Commerce and Fin- ance, then Bay Street (used car lots), and Parliament. Carol Baker: Carol has taken part in the Jr. and Sr. Choir, I.S.C.F., and the Annual Show. Being late for first class, because of the speedy street car and bus drivers, seems to be becoming more of a habit — the snow that is. Next year she will carry on her tradition by being late for her Gen- eral Arts course at York or University of Toronto. Carole Aitken: In her years at O.C.I. Carole has become quite experienced in collecting money for overdue l ooks and playing the French horn for the Concert Band and Sr. Orchestra. Since she ' s such a gourmet she is fascinated by Butter- scotch sundaes. Her future after O.C.I, is nursing or teaching. John Barbowski: John ' s past at O.C.I, in- cluded Junior and Senior Choirs (four en- joyable years with Mr. Davison), Bantam and Junior Football Teams, baseball and of course, AAarilyn, Carol, etc. . . At the moment he considers himself a bum and escorts Marilyn and SKarorv, when not indulging in pool. In the future he will pursue Sciences and Maths of U. of T., Sharon and pool. i Jim Allen: I don ' t know too much about Jim and from what he says, I don ' t think he does either. He ' s been in the Jr. and Senior Choir. Jim ' s idea of enjoyment is knocking white pellets into holes in the ground. His pet peeves are bunkers, water hazards and out of bounds. His aspiring future is an ace on a two hundred yard par three. I certainly hope it ' s golf he ' s talking about. Janet Barnsley; English class would be quite dull without Janet ' s eloquent argu- ments. In the future she plans to become a great playwright and present even more eloquent arguments. Janet tries to con- centrate on a psychological attitude but is frequently being interrupted to pass notes from Carlo P. to Sophia L 20
