Anthony Ferlisi: His past was addicted to honour. In English he contributed to dis- cussions with interesting remarks. At the moment he is unsure of the future, but hopes it Tony. be goodi Well, good luck. Bryce Fisher: Bryce has spent his intern- ment at O.C.I, as a member of the Welfare Committee, Current Events Club, Student Council, Geneva Park Conference, Greek Class, Concert Band, Student Exchange Program and the Camera Club. Bryce is a notable product of our capitalist sys- tem and resents being asked about his mark (x) s. His future will be in the R.C.- M.P., questioning his friends at the U. of T. about their mark (x)s. Ralph Frisch: Ralph ' s favourite phrase is I disagree. He has taken part in the Book Collection of 1963 64 and continu- ally looks forward to the future. Miss Warren was his French teacher for three years and then poof . Let ' s hope that Ralph gets through his Soc. and Phil, course at U. of T. without another poof. Susan Gaby: It has all been great fun- meaning of course: Junior and Senior Orchestra, swimming, G.A.A, . and watch- ing people rise to fame and glory. Sue gets to school occasionally at nine but has had her eight-thirties. She dreads decisions but loves hot-rodding it to school a velo ou a le jolly U. of T. or MacMas- ter, and of course those inevitable decisions. Paul Fortune: Paul displayed his musical talent when he sang in the junior choir. However, he later abandoned that for a senior football career. To make his life more exciting, he will join the navy or enter Forestry at U. of T. Judy Garfinkel: Hi, J. G. You thought you would be called Judy Farginkel, didn ' t you? Judy has sung with the Jr. and Sr. Choir, played with the Concert Band and Sr. Orchestra and acted with the Masquers. Next year she will attend U. of T. and continue to focus her thoughts on a certain artist. Bob Francis: For recreation Bob played Jr. Sr. Football, was on the swim team and Dance Committee. Bob ' s pet peeves: Class presidents who don ' t tell you when pictures are being taken; People who don ' t appreciate him, and girls who mis- take him for Steve Reeves. Bob intends to give his body away to medicine— may- be they can find what ' s wrong — other- wise he ' ll be basket-weaving at Florida State or U. of T. Elaine Gay: Elaine tries to convince every- one that she did not sing flat in the Jr. and Sr. Choir and she did try to win the intramural volleyball games. Anger pre- vails when she opens the door for herself but has a thousand other people rush through. Her parents think she is going to train at Western General but she is really going to chase interns. Dave Franklin: Dave participated in the Jr. and Sr. Orchestra, as well as the Con- cert Band. He tried some athletic en- deavours but found out that they re- quired work. He enjoys school very much, but wishes that the bell would ring more quietly. He dislikes people who make fun of his school spirit. After all someone has to keep a certain type of man employed. He plans to go to U. of T. David Giles: David has kept himself busy during his five years at Oakwood by par- ticipating in the Jr. and Sr. Choirs and by doing homework, more homework, and most homework. He ' s sorry he ' s leaving Oakwood for one reason— Mike Chrus (isn ' t everybody?) However, leave Oakwood he must, for his future beckons and he must take his place in society as an educated bum. William Franklin: Bill, during his year at Oakwood, has had a pretty varied past. He played percussion in the Orchestra, and Concert Band. Also he has been an active member on the junior and senior football, gym, and pushball teams. To top all this Bill was vice-president on the student council. Bill has modest hopes for the future, he hopes to be in the Ivy League and be Premier of Ontario. Gerry Goldberg: Gerry was a great par- ticipator in the ranks of O.C.I.: gym team, fainting team, cadet corps, dance committee, bench-warmer, junior basket- ball. Blue and Gold Committee, master of revels in the Horace fan club. A self- evaluation reveals Gerry as a veteran of the seven years war (at O.C.I.). He hopes to be Thomas A. Dooley II. 23

Ella Casey: Ella is an import from St. Joseph ' s College and so it is not surpris- ing when she declares that she finds it strange to be out of uniform. Since she has come to Oakwood, she has developed a phobia for climbing stairs. Ella has hopes of being an export from Oakwood, this year. Good Luck] Mike Chrus: Four years at Oakwood, Jr. and Sr. choirs, cadets and getting in and out of trouble comprise Mike ' s past. Ac- cording to Mike he is now in his fifth year at O.C.I, (now let ' s see you do it this time without your fingers, Mike). Mike plans to go into semi-retirement at Oakwood for the next four years then some course at the U. of T. Tony Cowan: Lover ' s favourite pastimes are spending time with a certain blonde, guitar - ing, folk - singing, jazz - digging, sleeping-on and goofing-off. Tony is a musical nut who speaks CSerman. His extra-curricular activities consist of toot- ball, swimming, track-ing. Choir, U. N., Current Events and Library Club. Pet peev- es—A certain blond who always tickles him and the parents of that certain blond — who also tickle him? His future is U. of T. and Kay. Gary Dean: Gary has shown prowess in junior and senior football and in hockey. When asked for a pet peeve, he declared: Acrobatic hockey players who are a chip off the old block. Future is unknown. Leigh Cline: Leigh seems to have made every band — the Concert, Cadet and Sr. Orchestra (except the Salvation Army which is saving him for the folk Idiom). He ' s been on the Dance Committee, at the Purple Onion, Penny Farthing, Gates of Cleveland, The Village. He views with distaste stale coffee. Bob Dylan ' s mnoey, and commercial folk singers. Future— be- coming a rich folk singer and writing better songs than Bob Dylan. Sandy Dennison: Sandy has been a mem- ber of the Sr. and Girls ' Choirs, G. A. A. executive, Jr. and Sr. Volleyball teams, Sr. Basketball team, Physorama and the Bad- minton set. Her pastimes — teaching Vera to water ski and hiding from Mr. Dunn. Her pet peeve — You can have my skel- eton when I ' m dead, sir, not before. Her future is U. of T. and onward as Mayor of Toronto. We ' re all behind you, Sandy; just don ' t look back. Mary Helen Conlin: After hearing such wonderful reports of Oakwood, Mary Helen just had to leave Loretto Abbey, and their Glee Club and basketball team will never be the same. We soon hope to see her smile into the television cameras as she performs a major operation at one of Toronto ' s Hospitals. Regina Diedrich: Our past Miss Blue Gold and Miss Oakwood is a girl with a Pepsodent smile. She is constantly being aggravated by Sheldon but her tee hee ' s and giggles show that she doesn ' t really mind. Marianthi Constantinu: Marianthi is an im- port from Venezuela where she attended Colegio Maria Auziliadora de los Teques. Her pet peeve is Mr. Wright ' s physics class. Marianthi ' s loves are varied. They include her Sunbeam Sports Car, Elvis, calipso-dancing, architecture which she plans to take at U. of T., and trips back to Venezuela. James S. Drennan: Jim was in the cadet corps at O. C. I. for four years. He was a Canadian army regular for one year and then came back to Oakwood. His pet peeve are people who cut up the army and Mike Chrus. He views his future as a Canadian army regular in the Royal Roads, (and then a pacifist??). f Dan Cook: Dan ' s past is locked for time immemorial midst the treasures of anti- quity, or simply — he forgot! Dan ' s pet peeve is that protoplasmic being which preceded his essence, or simply, life! Dan ' s future Is hidden deep midst the auguries of the prophets, or simply, he doesn ' t know — he ' s not there yet. Gary Eisen: Nominated as the student most likely to succeed by one out of the two students in Oakwood. Gary combined those qualities of quiet genius and humil- ity during his stay at Oakwood. History will describe him as one of Oakwood ' s finest; for he did to Oakwood what Salk did to polio. Let us ask three Students for their opinions of him. G. E. — Honour having him in Oakwood. G. Elsen — A odel Student . Gary E. — Oakwood will never be the same. ri v5 ■j,- cr VI 1 ml , 4 22

Lynn Golding: Lynn spent past years plink, plank, plunking in the Junior Or- chestra, and making like the back end of a horse of Physorama ' 62 63, and being an ever trusty G.A.A. rep. She will go to Teachers ' College then become a wealthy globe-trotter. Until then she will attempt to stir up more school spirit in O.C.I, students. Paul Gould: Paul ' s go(u)lden past consists of playing in the Jr. and Sr. Orchestras, contributing his talents to the Jr. Football Team and Blue and Gould Committee, as well as finding time to walk the halls at noon hour. Because he ' s constantly com- plaining about the high cost of dying, he intends to become a mortician and begin a lively discount funeral parlor called Honest Gould The Ghoul . Christine Gnoinski: Her favourite pastimes are skating, guitar, Mario Lanza and eat- ing while studying. When I asked her what her pet peeve was, she threw this at me. Aber yah! du bist wie eine schone Blume!!! Her future is Nursing at T.G.H. or F.N. S.N. , the American Hos- pital in Paris, and then the armed forces, (secret weapon against Red China). On second thought perhaps the Sheriff of Naught ingham could use her services, — he ' s been having trouble collecting taxes lately. Edward Gural: Ed was a refugee of Har- bord C.I. and was a member of the drum and bugle corps. He enjoys hopping down to Florida where (as he claims) the booze keeps him warm when it is slightly cool. U.C.L.A. ' s honorary course In cherchez les femmes will have one more scholarship student. Janice Guy: While at O.C.I. , Jan was the chairman (woman) of the noon-hour tea- party and the promoter of cereal dis- cussions. She was busy fighting off small, red-haired and tall, dark-haired monsters. She ' s bound to have good exercise with those sneaky interns at Florence Nightin- gale. Need any Protection Jan?? GOOD LUCK!! Warren Haller: Another member of the sing along with the choir group, but this one is partial to good folk-singing groups . When not playing football, hockey or running the 100 yard dash, he found time to do some homework. A boy with- out a pet peeve, he loves everybody. His Intentions are to take physical education at U. of T. and of course to continue folk- singing. Stanley Grabawski: I will always cherish my memories of Oakwood. With academic excellence as its goal, I will forever re- member my education, in more ways than one, at Oakwood. Early morning sectionals and the annual cadet inspection will al- ways bring back pleasant thoughts. How- ever, one memory will upset me. I wish Oakwood would provide more comfort- able seats with the new desks. My spinal cord is beginning to straighten. Helena Hawrysle: Into my gallery of nut- ty works, I donate a nosy librarian, un- predictable Oracle form-news editor, a misused voice from choir, a set of C aput secretarial meetings, and Man-Tan stolen from Gord Shioml. In the funny future, I ' ll help Anne with her Math, train John for the Ice Follies, return Rick Mori ' s foot- ball sweater, and comb the U. of T. chemistry lab to find out why poisonous NoF ' is an insecticide. Leslie Griesdorf: Les spent all his high school life at Oakwood and hopes to graduate this year! At U. of T. he plans to go into Dents. His past at O.C.I, hasn ' t been too exciting but enjoyable. Les was Oracle Rep. for two years and did man- age to get out for track and field in his spare time. He Is glad to be a fellow OAKWOOD ITE . Eric Hennessey: Over the years Eric has had many stimulating conversations with Mr. Snell, Mrs. Kumagai and Mr. Hobbs. He has expended his energies for several years hitting people with his head, stand- ing on his hands, and going back and forth, up and down, and around in circles. The future however is hazy— So I hope everyone ' s efforts to educate him will continue on his behalf. Hans Grundmann: This refugee came to O.C.I, in 1963 from Bloor C.I. Although he protests he likes this school, he will be very happy to leave upon graduating. A great obstacle to this will be the two comics of 1 3E, who certainly give the ordinary dull school subjects some colour. After his departure he will enter Aero- nautical Engineering at U. of T. Paddy Horner: This dirty pushball player has set an all time record for frat and breakfast parties. For some strange reason, she goes wild over some character known as ' Freddy the Finky Fish! ' She will at- tempt to find a University with flexible entrance requirements after she poisons the water system at H.C.I. —Yea Gary!
