Brenda Silverstein: Brenda, a pianistical musical acorn, has studied German as well. Her activities include Jr. Sr. Girls ' Choirs, the Oracle Committee, United Nations Model Assembly, Annual Show and Make-up (or is it make-out?) with the Masquers. Brenda has served as President of both the Current Events Club and Masquers. Brenda ' s Pet Peeves are the walrus, the carpenter, and eleven papers. Her future is the U. of T., teaching and then who can tell? Samuel Tanaka: A single paragraph can- not possibly cover the exciting and ful- filling life of this determined young man. Passing through the Hallowed Halls of Oakwood, seemingly dreaming, but in reality, his keen wit and sharp eye were always alert for a pretty girl. No past, no future and no pet peeve; an ambitious young man, as I have said. See you Next Year, Sam. Nada Simunic: Nada spent 1961 learning English and has been practising ever since. She becomes very annoyed by people who pronounce her name wrong (nomina, non demonstrans) and nothing gives her a bigger charge than Physics Class. Nada plans to become an Alumna of the Psychiatry Ward at U. of T. Havelock Thompson: The most interesting subject, to him, is physics because of the shocking experiments and because the problems are interesting and easy. The least interesting is English for no particu- lar reason. He hates modest people like Blair Slade: During his stay at Oakwood, Blair has taken part in several extra-cur- ricular activities. While the school had cadets, he was an officer in the corps. He has also taken part in Intramural Bas- ketball , as well as Inter-school Basketball and Football. After graduating from Oak- wood, Blair hopes to go to university, and eventually to Osgoode Hall to take Law. Dougie Tickner: Dougie tells us he is from the ranks of Port Credit S.S. He has played Senior Football, Senior Hockey, Senior Track Field, Pushball, and Hookey ad Infinitum. Dougie seems both- ered by teachers who are under the mis- conception that he is lazy. He aspires to pursue a law career, but feels he is more likely to become a professional student. Joe Stel: Joe who was deported from Europe in the ' 59 exodus has had neg- ligible past activities at O.C.I. His greatest desire is to get honours in English within the next 50 years. His future is to be deported to some secluded university to study engineering. il Timo Toikkanen: Timo has been in swim- ming, in Physorama and on the trampo- line. Time ' s beef is Hey Dave! How do you do this question? Timo plans to take Physical Education at the U. of T. next year ( You don ' t need it, he said limply). Bill Taggart: In the past few years. Bill was in the junior choir and played crib- bage at noon-hour. When asked for a pet-peeve he declared he liked les frogs . If he makes it this year or any other year, he will enter Forestry at U. of T. Eedo Tamme: Eedo was exported from Europe for being too short a native. He entered Oakwood five years ago, when still taller than Marv Morten but now finds that he is shorter than ACE. He is looking forward to the future. If lucky he will have two more years at Oakwood, during which to grow shorter, and then a few more years, in any university that will accept him. Brian Toll: During the past five years, Brian has participated on the gym team, track team, in ping-pong, pushball, foot- ball, and considers himself a hockey vet- eran. He has utter disregard for people who don ' t appreciate the finer qualities and mental stimulation of pea-pool. Brian will study Phys. Ed. at U. of T. and will sacrifice his spare time in the promotion of pea-pool. Arne Tori: Arne managed to take time from his solemn studies to partake in foot- ball, basketball, and track. He developed an intense dislike for teachers who woke him up during class. Studies and day- dreaming will be his goal, even as far as university. 31

McZele- wlcz — never to be forgotten or shall I say forgiven for writing all those nasty things about 13A.

Extra Curricular Activi- ties — Camera Club, Gym Team, Junior Orch., Concert Band and Masquers. His future is Soc. and Phil, at U. of T. The foregoing is true — by Mannie Zelew icz. Roy Wiseman: Roy Wiseman has spent tiis past five years admiring Mr. Smith ' s handi- work, having frequent discussions with English teachers, and baking cakes with Melzer. Most memorable was a year with Dr. Packer — Schreiben Sie es hundertmal Herr Wiseman. Teachers who want him to do homework caused him much embarass- ment. He plans to attend U. of T. study- ing History, Philosophy and languages (with Dr. Packer?) His philosophy: Life is for the living; Stop and enjoy it now. Barry Zon: Barry is another member of the J.P.C.M. ' s. He regales in tormenting Steve for French and Trig, homework. His passetemps favori is going to Andy ' s inner sanctum for homework horrors. Cer- tain questions torment him constantly: Where did Mary learn to speak Yiddish? Why does Miss Warren love me so? Why not sit behind Bruce in Algebra? His two greatest ambitions are: to send Willy to Auswitz, and being a toothpick(er) — DENTISTRY ? ? Joseph I. Wohlgelernter: Joseph ' s interest- ing past includes Library Club, Camera Club, Junior Choir, N.C.O. ' s and arguing with Ian (WOW!!). Class time was spent in discussions with Dr. Hill, Miss Suther- land and in obeying der Herr Doktor. What about that death rattle for Mr. Snell, Joe?? He dislikes people who stress their middle initial. His future will lead him in the ways of Dr. Kildare — BUT with a diploma from U. of T. Michael Wood: I won ' t repeat all that Mich said to me when I asked him about his past. However 1 will relate that a large amount of energy has been spent in en- lightening the great Greek scholar ' J.C.R. ' with pearls of wisdom . His pet peeve is waiting for someone to enter the room after one too many. His future — senior snow-shoveller at the Baf- fin Island golf course and tennis club. We ' re all confident he ' ll succeed. Jerry Brioux: This is Jerry ' s first year at Oakwood. Previously attended St. Mike ' s.

Norman Courtney: Norm spent all his time listening to junior students whispering be- hind his back My what a giant! He des- pises getting up at 8:15 every morning five days a week (guess which five) and wishes that junior students would grow taller. What does the future hold? Com- merce and Finance at the University of Toronto. 33
