Fred Hutcheson: Fred spent grades nine and ten in the orchestra as an off-key violinist. In grade eleven he joined the Observer staff and also tried some public speaking. He also helped the publicity committee to be a mess. Grade twelve was a relatively quiet year, and so were the two years in grade thirteen. Accord- ing to Fred, the crime of the century was: the Oracle form news had to be in by Dec. 19!! (he handed them in on the twentieth, though!) Esther Kartzowitz: Since she has taken art through school thus far, she considers herself a regular Michealangelo— minus beard of course, jncidently, Esther is Oak- wood ' s own barefoot contessa. She has a number of pet peeves, the most pressing of which is school. Her future centres around Teachers ' College and more school. Need I say more? Richard Ironside: Richard is a stoic per- son who overcomes such shortcomings as: an excess of wealth; a magnetic per- sonality; a handsome face; a strong body; and a quick and intelligent mind. He completed four years at Acton District High and one year at O.C.I. He hopes to marry R.I.P Margaret Keith: She has been an ' ardent ' music student for the past five years. Her extra-curricular activities include interform volleyball, basketball, dance committee, and aqua shows. Her pet peeves are ex- football players and umm-m that ' s wrong. Her future is nursing at U. of T. Virginia Irving: Virginia, a relative new- comer to Oakwood, formerly attended Northern Secondary School where she was guard on the girls ' football team. She is presently singing in Mr. Ouchter- lony ' s choir at Timothy Eton Church. One of her frustrations is geometry class. If all goes well this year, Virginia will enter Soc. and Phil, at U. of T. Tim Jacobsen: Tim is a boy who has no past (that he wants to mention) and wants to be reincarnated as a bed bug. Strange isn ' t he? Timothy, try and put up with your Indoctrinating environments. Robert Koledin: Bob was on several ath- letic teams and also manager of junior basketball. He also enjoyed after-hour art classes with Miss Campbell and a tiny role in the Masquers. His lunch-hours were constantly interrupted by fires in a certain restaurant. He hopes to study Medicine at McGill, to try for a golf team, and to have another chance with a certain unforgettable blonde. Edith Kota: Edith is a refugee from Vaughan Road C.I. where she participated in the Library Club, was a G.A.A. Rep. and played basketball. Edith has enjoyed her stay at Oakwood but is still wary of using a scalpel in Zoology class. Her future plans include either U. of T. or Teachers ' College. t ■ ? f A Marcy Jakob: Marcy, one of Oakwood ' s musical frauleins, has participated in the Masquers, the Choir, and the French Club. I ' ve been informed by anonymous sources that Marcy spends quite a lot of time hanging around the dressing room. She insists she malces a rotten Ophelia, but it always seems to depend on who ' s playing Hamlet. Her future is Psychology at U. of T., and a year in Europe where it is none of our business wnat she ' s going to do there. Bruce Kalbfleisch: Bruce spent three years at O.C.I, before being paroled to Meister- schaft for good behaviour. He returned in- definitely to O.C.I, as president of the Jim Reid Gear Club. At present he is learning how to live, instead of making a living. He wishes in the near future to form the Academy of Anatomy. His pet-peeve;— Jeunes femmes who teach at O.C.I, with much virtue in their lungs, while their hubbies discolour the air of the local pool halls. Alex Kovaloff: Alex ' s past includes Oak- wood ' s swim team, girls and would you believe it, being a choir boy. His pet peeve is a certain English teacher and his future includes either studying skin-diving and deep-sea fishing at the University of Florida or studying at the University of Tremblaut, or possibly Engineering at U. of T. John Liiley: John lists as his past the Cadet Band and studying, certainly an unusual pastime. John ' s gripe is English classes. After graduation John hopes to Blossom in science at the U. of T. 25

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!

Gaida Locans: Gaida sang flat with the choir and participated in sports unlimited!!! She will spend another unparalleled year at O.C.I, trying to persuade people to argue with her. Ernie McCullough: Ernie ' s notable past has been the Dance Committee, Student Coun- cil, Oracle, Blue and Gold Committee, Jr. and Sr. Choir and goofing off most of the time. Apparently coffee in the Prime wasn ' t his cup of tea as was Don ' t worry group, you don ' t have to get dressed up for these Oracle pictures. Ernie sees life at the U. of T. as more goofing off and perhaps ruining some more school pictures. Lynda Longworth: No! Lynda doesn ' t think P.T. is the only useful subject in High School. She thinks she ' d rather be a fashion designer than girl football player. She was not born with internal gills. She doesn ' t think French should be banned in Canada (just in Gr. 13). She is not going to Ryerson just for the boys! Donald McHugh: Don completed his grade ten at Central Tech. and went out into the world for six years. He came back to Oakwood to achieve his Senior Matric diploma. Don is very grateful for his wife ' s sacrifices of the past few years. He expects to re-enter the machine-shop business. Walter Lukowsky: Walter does not have very much to say about his past, present or future. When asked if he would like to contribute a summary, he declared: I believe in the privacy of the individual. However, he is sure to have a more in- teresting future. Niel McKellar: Niel has survived six happy years at Oakwood and plodded through a whole term of summer school at North- ern. His time at school is taken up with lengthy Trig, assignments and with his Job. If his luck holds out, he will remain in 13E. If not he will seek more superior guidance and a four-foot eleven-inch girl friend at the University of Waterloo. Ursula Lummis: Ursle ' s extra-curricular ac- tivities were fiddling in the Orchestra, drama club, annual show, sports— golfing at O.A.L.C., and G.A.A. Ursula was Oak- wood ' s Simpson ' s Rep. ' 63-64 and co- editor of the Oracle ' 62-63. Her pet peeves are dictating essays to Marg; tak- ing out paper in Doctor Hill ' s room; and those mad discussions in English. Her future is Moderns at U. of T. and the World. Marilyn Mahood: Marilyn has been a par- ticipant in Jr. and Sr. Choir, Kick line. Aqua Show, Fashion Show and interform volleyball. Next year, she will start a business course and continue to try and convince people that she Is not Brian ' s sister. Mary Elizabeth McBrlde: Mary ' s favourite pastime is reading but she won ' t go quite as far as to tell us what. H er option form was German. She has indulged in the Library Club, Current Events, and dabbled a little in Greece (Greek that is). Her future centres around U. of T. Despair not, for I also have asked her many times, but she insists she is no relation to the Centre Island Ferry boat. Judith McCaul: Judith, whose pet peeve is school, hopes to obtain her parole from Oakwood in the minimum 5 years. While imprisoned she was a member of the various choirs and Library Club (all choirs except the Boys ' Choir). She also sup- ported bi-lingualism as a member of the French Club, and by watching the very, very French movies at the New York Cinema. Charlotte Malowane: Through her years at O.C.I. , Charlotte has played in the Jr. Sr. Orchestra and served on the G.A.A. Executive. Her most frequent preoccupa- tion this year seems to be denying the free services of a tutor. Next year ' s plans have been narrowed down to either Physiotherapy at U. of T. or Ryerson. Tony Manlaci: Tony kicked around on the soccer team and continues to make noises in the Orchestra. Oh! that curly hair! Let ' s hope that in the future somebody con- vinces him that there is such a thing as imagination. Perhaps, then, the memories of the past will be more vivid and IMAGINATIVE. Girls, Girls, Girls are made to love. 26
