l 2-XY Another year has rolled around and so has 12-XY. As per usual we are still the music class under the baton of Mr. john M. Robbie. Our executive this year was changed slightly from that of other years. Our President is Bruce Nelson, whose ambition is to own the Bytown. Our Vice-Presi- dent is Alfred Rae, a star performer on the Basketball floor. Alf. also doubles as our Secretary. Our Athletic Rep. is Bill Skilly Gray. He is known to most of the fellows as the Billy the Kid of the poolroom. The Tech Talk Rep. is yours truly-Barry Stewart. In sports we excel. Our Senior Football team had as a member from 12-XY, Harding Tomato Dawe. On the junior squad, Tom Clowes and jack Donovan represented the form. All our three boys were stars with their respective teams. In Basketball, our interform team is led by Fred King, our Captain. On the team we have Bruce Nelson, Grant McDonald. Albert Twombly, john Oliver, Bill Hobbs, jack Donovan. jack Donaldson, Bob Juneau, Bill Gray, and as locker boy, Rosie Rose. On the school Basket- ball teams we have Tomato Dawe and Alf Rae. In the way of Clubs, concerts, play, etc., our class takes an extensive part. Out School Band takes part ina great many of these affairs, and in the band are: Emile Brown, Bob Taylor, David Lethbridge, Rich Whan, Tom Clowes and Barry Stewart. Some of these boys, who double with the Glee Club. are : David Lethbridge, Barry Stewart, Rich Whan and Emile Brown. One other fellow who lends us his support is jack Donaldson. As representatives to various clubs throughout the school we have Gerald Rose and Jack Donaldson, mem- bers in good standing of the Key Club. The Literary end is handled by Roger Cunningham of the Library Club, while the Radio Club has our Bob Taylor. The Gymnast of the class is Albert Twombly. The rest of the boys, although they do not take part in the school clubs, all have a membership in the Gatineau Club. Our main headache is not the teachers, but little joe Wallace. The boys fear joe, not because he is big, but because every time he talks in French class, Mr. Huot adds more homework, and the boys just love that. To john Oliver and Emile Brown it does not matter how much homework is added in any subject or how hard it is, they always seem to be able to clean up the Hrst and second places in the standing. Well ! There is 12-XY in a nut-shell 3 all nuts. -BARRY STEWART 3,6 I2-All The 1949-50 High School season found us happy and studious students in Class 12-AB.

The class got right down to business and elected a slate of officers which consists of President, Graeme McKay, Vice-President, Ken Taylor 5 Athletic Rep., joe Lal-Iaise g and yours truly, Syd Greenberg, as Tech Talk Rep. Many individuals in 12-AB have brought noteworthy honours to themselves and to the class. These are Al Brown and Ray Byers of the champion Junior Football team g Ken Taylor, President of the Camera Club, and Graeme Bucko McKay together with Mick Mac- Donald who led the way on the Senior Basketball team. Under the capable management ofjoe LaHaise, 12-AB made the quarter-finals of the Grade Twelve Basketball Championships. Al Gaggsy Rheaume is said to have stumped Mr. jandrew with one of his jokes g can he do it again? Abe Fingers Moray Murray has been seen slinking around with society women wearing hot ice g now, what can this stogey smoking chap be up to ? It has been said that Barry D.

George Wireless Wilde is said to be keep- ing up a steady weekly conversation with a certain senorita in Mexico. Is it true, George?

Norm Shivy Mickenberg is making a collection of buttons, can't understand that lad. john Halden's atomic theory is up before the Atomic Control Board. I-I. Leslie Mason is considering taking over the English classes for 12-AB g don't do it Les ! Rigby has yet to form his House of Danny basketball team because Moose is holding out for more money.
