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

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

. ' «.- ' » ' .■» irtiM .r $ . V -f ' • ' : Alan Maclnlyre: Alan never did say much in class (tinat ' s because he was usually asleep) but outside school hours he was quite busy with orchestra, Gym Team, a broken nose, broken ankle, and folk sing- ing. Warren what have you got for me today? Alan plans to become the leader of a new folk-singing group called The New Misty Chrinstrels . Arvo Medri: This deep voiced young man submitted to the indignities of life at Oakwood for five years. In order to escape the boredom of books and homework, Arvo took part in extra curricular activi- ties. He was in two Jr. Football teams, Gym Team, Concert Band, and Jr. Sr. Orchestras. His pet peeves v ' ere teachers who insisted that home work should be written, not just thought about. His future is at U. of T. Ronald Manser: Ron ' s golden voice was his password to the Junior and Senior Choir, {and the Girls ' Choir). What an- noys Ron the most is people who always seem to be coming up to him and saying: You do know you ' re running a tea dance this afternoon. After leading such a spinning life, Ron plans to settle down with his Engineering studies at U. of T. Vidas Meipoom; After an absence of two years, he finally returned to Oakwood. What does Vidas think of his lessons — ' Hard stuff, that hard stuff. ' Future will be Science or Dentistry at U. of T. His probable future—gambler. Hep! Hep! Hep! Yea, Yea! Yea! go to school, and waste your day. i Darlene Marchment: Won ' t someone buy rings, pins or Christmas cards? Please! Darlene is a member of the let ' s make unmelodious harmony group of the Jr. and Sr. Orchestra. She just loves jokes like Smoky the Grape. Her good in- tention is to be a university co-ed and then??? Ian Melzer: His pet peeve: Putting up with teachers who should get a raise for putting up with him. He failed com- pletely to form a French club. In grade twelve Ian played basketball. He also attended the Geneva Park conference at Lake Couchlching, Moreover, this year he was president of Citizen ' s Forum. AA.P.C. is his inevitable future at U. of T. Anne Mason: Anne was on the G.A.A., Welfare Committee, and In the Current Events Club. She wishes to announce that the gang must cancel all skating attempts on cement verandas, because she wants to watch the Leafs fight at the Gardens. Anne can ' t understand why she can ' t use green food colouring in chemistry experi- ments, instead of B.T.B. On a last note, she wants to inform Mr. Young that corn is not cooked In pressure cookers but is roasted over bunsen burners. Edward Miller: Ted has had a shining career at O.C.I. His past activities include: joe-jobs for Mr. Snell and Mrs. Kumagai; four years of devoted Caput service; or- chestra executive and number one librar- ian; afternoons in the Observer room with pretty assistants; intramural sports; mak- ing enemies of certain athletic teachers. Ted Is past president of the Mrs. Shime fan club and has worked hard for the abolition of homework and the S.S.C.F. His future is nebulous but he expects to become president of the world. Marilyn Mathews: Did you get the Algebra homework last night? Marilyn loves every- body and everything, she does nothing in particular but everything in general. Next year, her ambitions will lead her to Teachers ' College. Richard Matsugu: In the past, Richard was junior assistant to W.K.M. in chemistry, a fearer of W.K.M. stamps. He embar- rassed W.K.M. by excessive obedience and affection. He intends to learn how to play cribbage. In the future Richard will occupy his time with black pajamas and white leotards, a five-hundred lb. bag of rice and carving cribbage pegs from old chopsticks. Rick Mori: Rick was quite busy here what with playing on the junior and senior football and hockey teams and playing cards at noon-hour, (poker. Rick?). When he wasn ' t busy he watched football and hockey games. He is a prospective En- gineering genius, taking his diploma at U. of T. Wesley K. Morishita: He played on the tennis team and Is quite pleased about it too. Faithfully did he buy the Oracle every year to review how past events had succeeded without him. His tolerance of young upstarts who tried to make a reputation by outdrawing the top gun was his most outstanding quality. Despite discouragement, (HM), he has developed a keen taste and flair for poetry. Wesley has no comment on his undoubtedly ex- citing future. 27
