57 - Grade Twelve and Thirteen Litegggy - . . by Joanne Donaldson XII On Friday, January 23rd, the first literary got under way with the singing of W0 Canadan. Bernadette Garvey, the very capable mistress of ceremonies then took over. L The first number on the program s was a girls' dance, directed by Margaret Rennick. The costu es certainly were original and very amusing. Next came an excellent display of boys' gymn- astics, under the skilled eye of Jackie Morrison. The program s was next highelighted by the appearance of three gentlemen, dressed in blue trousers, white shirts, and straw hats trim ed with red. They were Doug Burnett, Don Ferguson, and Lindsey Jelly, who had very aptly adopted the name of the WRed a d Blue Trion. For their first musical number, Lindsey played the piano, Don his accordian, and Doug sang UMy Blue Heavenn. Lindsey and Don then played UEHmer's Tunen, on piano and accordian. After much applause Don seated himself at the piano beside Lin and they played their arrangement of UStumblingU. Doug. reappeared and the three boys did a splendid job singing WI'm Confessin!W accompanied by Don on the piano. Their next arrangement of WDangerous Dan MoGrewN was a big success. The boys received a well deserved encore, and for it Doug sang NMaybeW. dHSparks From an Old Flamen was the title of the hilariouswfa one-act play which followed. It concerned a merry'mixeup of old and new'boyefriends, but got straightened out by the end. Joan Henderson and Mary Jackson should be com ended for the way in which they direct- ed its Gayle McNeill Jessie Beam ' Bill Anderson Herbert seam, her husband. Gloria Cooney Mary Beam, their daughter. Bruce Small Wellington Porter, an old suitor. Clarence Proctor Nick Porter, his son. Dawn Kirkness Clara fthe maid! A novelty number was last on the prog a me. Marilyn Nod- well and her cornet presented a rythmical story of her musical career. John Kearns, who couldn't stand her playing any longer rushed on to give her some much needed help. They spied Terry WShortie' Hicks with his saxaphone and asked him to give some assistance. Lastly, a new boy from Grade Nine, Mr. Gibson, came on with his clarinet. The quartet proceeded to play a Dixieland version of NMuskrat Ramblen. They received an encore for their good work. The literary was brought to a close with the singing of WGod Save the Queenu. Diane: n5o etimes my father takes things apart to see why they donFt gon. Doug: nSo,'what!W Diane: WSo you'd better gon.

58 - Hobby Show - Q by Terry Hicks XII On February 16, 1953 at nine o'clock the boys of Grade XII joyously piled into Coles' Bus and to a resou ding chorus of popular medlies were off for the Hobby Shown While bouncing along the Queen Elizabeth way a green car, driven at a reckless speed, quickly over- took and passed us. It was no other than Miss McPh dran and the girls of the Home Ec. class who had the same destination in mind. Upon our arrival at the C.N.E. grou ds we discovered that we were a half a hour early and not a few of us embarked on a hasty tour of inspection of the grand city. However, a little less actively perhaps, the group finally arrived back at the Hobby Show, paid their 50 cents and walked in. You may imagine our surprise when we found that these exe hibits included everything from jewellery and pen nibs to rabbits and guinea pigs. So varied and interesting were the displays that it would be folly to attempt to describe them all to you. Probably the most exacting and detailed exhibit of all were the pictures made completely from different coloured woods. At a short distance these pictures would be very hard to distinguish from that of an artist. For endless hours it seemed we poked straws at defense- less rabbits, whistled at mute canaries, observed the benefits of Dic-A-Doo-Paint Remover, and eyed what seemed to be thousands of time consuming hobbies. There were models of all descriptions,almost every known piece of furniture in the world, stamp collections, coin collections, rugs, model railroads, power tools, photography equip- ment and - but thats enough. It is needless to say that all concerned had a wonderful time and enjoyed themselves immensely. At three o'clock everyone had assembled at the bus and were at last homeward bound, a bunch of tired but happy fellows. Music Student: Mr. Smith, do cats go to heaven? Mr. Smith: Of course not. Student: Well, where do angels get the strings for their harps. Gloria: You have such wonderful lips. They would look good on a girl. Terry: Well, I have never missed an occasion.
