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.

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.

Seated: David Keith (President), Linda Dool, Mr. Moore, Grace Bulfoni, Harry Tiefanbach. 70 CAMERA CLUB The Camera Club, which supplies many pieces of photo- equipment, is open to all Oakwoodites who wish to learn more about photography. 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

At n 16 i Jk ' Jj 1 r| ■l ll Ikn fl Masquers Standing: Michael Wright, Frank Liebeck. Seated: Marcy Jakab, Miss Dunlop, Brenda Silverstein (President). AAASQUERS This year, the Masquers presented a most lively colour- ful production — The Madwoman of Chaillot by Jean Giradoux. Under the direction of Miss Dunlop, our club sponsor, the cast spent much time rehearsing after school for the nights of the performance on February 6, 7, and 8. The result, indeed, justified all the preparation and hard work involved in such a production. Marcy Jakab did a wonderful job as the Madwoman of Chaillot and the rest of the cast outdid themselves in their sparkling per- formances. Again Oakwood entered the Simpson ' s Drama Festival, this time with the play Hope is a Thing with Feathers by Harrity and directed by Frank Liebeck. The Masquers would like to thank the stage crew, the ward- robe mistresses, prop girls, make-up groups and the members of the staff and student body without whose asssitance they should never have been able to get the show on the road.

CURRENT EVENTS CLUB ORGANIZATION The Cu jent Events Club Organization, which encom- passes the United Nations Club and Citizens ' Forum, holds its own meetings of current interest to the school body. With the invaluable assistance of our sponsor. Dr. Hill, we were able to bring several interesting guest speakers to the school, including the Public Affairs officer for the American Consul in Toronto, and Mr. McGibbon, treasurer of Imperial Oil. Our programme was varied with some very interesting educational films. This year, with the help of Mr. Coutts, the school was again able to enjoy some excellent noon-hour movies. Mr. Tovell authorized two assemblies this year, one to commemorate the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the other United Nations Day. The United Nations Club participated in the tenth annual United Nations Model Assembly representing Morocco. Under Mr. Gordon ' s sponsorship Oakwood ' s delegation was runner up for the Trivitt award, given annually to the best participating group in the Model Assembly. Citizens ' Forum this year discussed topics ranging from L.B.J, to the F.L.Q. under the guidance of Dr. Hill and Miss Rogers. The highlight of the year was a dis- cussion held at Midland Secondary in Scarborough on the topic Discrimination: National and International .
