31 - First Fonn Litergy - by Michael Gendron Gr. IX There was great hustle and bustle in the halls of O.D.H.S. on that Friday in March. What was the reason for all the commotion? Why, it was the day of the grade niner's literary progra me. ' After the singing of O Canada on that afternoon about 2.30, Bob Dods, who is president of the Student Council, welcomed everyone to the last, but we hope not the least, literary meetings of the season. He then handed the show over to the master of cerem- onies Mike Gendron who took over from then on. To start the after- noon off smoothly, Diane Parsons and Bernace Nute played a piano duet which most of the audience recognized as nNolau. Next on the script was a gymnastic display which was under the direction of Miss Ewing. It consisted chiefly of some well- executed pyramids and tumbling done by some of the girls. A fashion show fwhich had no relation to Miss McPhedran's in models or nu bersl was then presented. Paul Henderson acted as commentator and introduc- ed everything from Clem Horne in a one piece bathing suit to John van Duyvenvoorde in diapers. There must have been a lot of clothes from the gay nineties brought out of mothballs to feature this part of the show. . Donna Fagin and Gwen Cook found to their disappointment that there were no skits appropriate for the occasion available, so they wrote one themselves. 'The short play let the audien e sit in on a student council meeting of 1957, when grade nine of today would be in grade thirteen. There were many suggestions which would make the audience believe that in the future the life of a High School student would be simplified. 'We may have future journalists in our midst. L Characters: Bob Fife, president, Wally Campbell, secretary, memb- ers, Jean Beeney, Paul Courtney, Donna Fagin, Gwen Cook and Sheila Anderson. Since the beginning of the school year, Mr. Smith has had the Military Band organized to take part in school events which would co e up during the course of the year. Grade ninefs Lit was the first of these events and it was very successful. There were introd- uctions to each instrument and also to the musicians. Marches and waltzes made up the programme. All of this section was very good, considering the time Mr. Smith has had to beat it into them. Grade nine did not lack talent in the use of their vocal cords either. A quartet made of Sharon Webb, Jean Harrison, and the Holmes! twins sang, UTip Toe Through The Tulipsu to the accompaniment of Donald Ferguson, an import from Grade Thirteen. This group was so good that they rated an encore. The final number of the afternoon was a medley of old time dances. Mr. Young started the boys and girls practising right after Christmas. The couples practised daily and it was well worth their effort and also that of Mr. Young. After the last number, the MC expressed his gratitude on behalf of the entire grade nine to Miss Ewing, Mr. Smith and Mr. Young for their work on the lit. Everyone agreed, grade nine had possibilities.
