I. S. C. F. This year the Inter-School Christian Fellowship has tried to make itself known to more students. Such fea- tures as a discussion on science and Christianity, slides of a missionary ' s work in South America, a discussion on the topic What is a Christian? and a Moody science fOm on communism have all helped to let students know what I.S.C.F. supports. Social activities this year have been plentiful; Bible studies have been intense, varied, and interesting, and it is hoped that each member has learned something Vital in the fulfilment of his motto — To know Christ, and to make Him known.

LIBRARY CLUB Over 2,000 books are circulated monthly. Who checks these books when they leave the library and who slips and shelves them when they return? These and many other associated tasks are handled by our Library Club. Through the faithful execution of their jobs, our members insure that the library operates at an efficient pace. The work is, of course, balanced by numerous social events. Our eargerly awaited annual Chinese dinner is always a huge success. We have the pleasure of visiting other library clubs and having them visit us. Frequent guest speakers at our weekly meetings present informa- tive talks on topics such as their travels. Because of such worthwhile activities our members are glad to belong to the Library Club. The help and guidance of our spon- sor, Mrs. Donaldson, is appreciated by all.

The senior members of the club give instruction at weekly meetings about the various aspects of photography. Everyone has seen those who hold the highly contested position of Oracle Photographer at every school activity eagerly doing their part to represent our school in its yearbook. Such enthusiastic students are always wel- comed to assist the senior members in carrying on the high standards of the club. They will find that watching their pictures emerge in the developer as if by magic is an unparalleled thrill well worth any painstaking cares taken in producing them. David Keith

INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC Looking back over the past five years in the Instin- mental Music Department one thinks of many things. One thinks of Music Night and the nervous excitement and anticipation, the orchestra party after the final night, the trips to London and Buffalo, the Kiwanis, the assemblies and getting out of classes, Christmas Festi- val , Massey Hall, the rehearsals twice a week until five o ' clock, the eight o ' clock Sectionals, Scipio , Haydn ' s 104th, Oliver , Camelot , The Sound of Music , and the applause. Certainly this past year has been no exception in pro- viding us with many fond memories. Those in the Junior Orchestra will look back on this year and recall their excellent performance in the Christmas assembly and the first night jitters of Music Night. This year a new group, the Senior Strings, was formed. It consists of thirty string players from grades eleven and twelve. They had a busy year, performing success- fully not only in the Christmas assembly and in Music Night but also combining with our Senior Orchestra strings and the Humberside strings to steal the show at the Music Festival at Massey Hall. The Concert Band also combined very successfully with the Senior Orchestra band members and the Humberside band at Massey Hall. In addition they provided the musical selections at the Grade Twelve Commencement, played at a high school in Niagara Falls, and finished the year with a very enjoyable performance at Music Night. The Chamber Orchestra, this year under the direction of Alan Bernstein, met on Sunday afternoons, played in several assemblies, and climaxed their year with a re- warding performance at Music Night. The Senior Orchestra, under the direction of Mrs. Kumagai, had one of their busiest years. In addition to playing at Senior Commencement and at various assemb- lies, the string and band members of the Senior Or- chestra played at Massey Hall. Two exchange programs were arranged with Bloor and Forest Hill Collegiates in which their orchestras played at our assemblies and we played at theirs. Before Music Night, a rehearsal was held at the beautiful Edward Johnson Building with Professor Rosevear of the Faculty of Music. Of course, the highlight of our year was Music Night. Looking back over this year, everyone will realize that none of the memories and the fun would have been possible without two very important people, Mrs. Kuma- gai and Miss Hay. Alan Bernstein 69

B. A. A. The B.A.A., under the watchful eyes of Mr. Lobb and Mr. McKinney, had its most successful year in all fields of athletics. All worked hard this year and the work re- sulted in intramural basketball for grades 9, 10 and 11 and pushball for grades 12 and 13. The B.A.A. intro- duced ping-pong as a major source of entertainment. With Mr. Novak ' s assistance and the B.A.A. ' s funds, a weight training team was begun at Oakwood for the first time. The B.A.A. and G.A.A. joined forces and held three successful athletic nights at which there were ping-pong demonstrations, pushball and an interesting Junior- Teacher basketball game. Our annual Athletic Banquet held at the school concluded a successful year which would not have been possible without the support of staff and students.

GIRLS ' CLUB This September grade niners really got initiated as they crawled through hoops of wet nylons, jumped into tubs of cold spaghetti and screamed heartily in our House of Horrors . Later in the fall we talked Oak- woodites into buying shakers, pins, ribbons, and beanies for the football games. Together the G.A.A. and the Girls ' Club provided free shakers for the final game. We sold Christmas cards this year and again prepared baskets for needy famOies. Female Oakwoodites saw a bevy of beautiful girls in stunning clothes at our fashion show — Wardrobe Wizardry for the Modem Miss. We also sold school rings and pins as well as sweatshirts, thus completing another successful year for the Girls ' Club. Sharon Singer Standing: Lynda Stockman, Mrs. Charlesworth, Darlene Marchement, Suzanne Rosenberg. Seated: Susan Love, Ruth Nagami, Roberta Fisher, Sharon Singer, Marisa Castellarin, Donna Lewis. G. A. A. This year has been a busy one for the G.A.A., whose members worked together to present an excellent pro- gram of extra-curricular activities to the girls of Oak- wood. Under the much appreciated guidance of our sponsor, Mrs. Earle, we held the annual Posture Contest and the Home School swimming competition. At the first Athletic Night of the year, Madli Tamme was crown- ed Miss Blue Gold, and a dance was held in honour of the football teams of Oakwood and Humberside. The second Athletic Night was high-lighted by a basketball game between the teachers and the Sr. team. In April there was another Athletic Night, and the year was climaxed by the annual Athletic Banquet. Thus it has been a busy but — thanks to all concerned — a reward- ing year. Janice Guy 3rd Row: S.
