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. This was all arranged in room 205 with Mr. jandrew as overseer. 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. Rockefeller Hammell is on the threshold of bankruptcy and his empire about to collapse. Barry, how can you auction off your winged friends? Big Bob Riddell is now trying to find a new drug in lab work g that's why he a.in't talkin. Bob Rainboth is said to have turned over a new leaf g that is, a new tobacco leaf 5 he has changed his brand from Players to Export. What is john Dozzer Tunnock's new method for staying awake in History? Don't tell, john, you might czreate a small revolution. George Wireless Wilde is said to be keep- ing up a steady weekly conversation with a certain senorita in Mexico. Is it true, George? Harry Hank Dougherty is said to have been making a sequel to Ray Mi1land's Lost Weekend. Is that why Henry keeps looking up at the chandeliers in class? 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. Claude Shutters Baron has been tak- ing picrures of some mighty interesting scenery lately. Other members of the class include Brian O'Connell, Walter Zoppa, Bob Nesbitt, Bob Allan, Harris Gibson, Len Weeden, Paul Racicot, Stuart Hamon, Conn' Smyth. -SYD GREENBERG

12-CD A score and two hard-working, earnest, mankind- loving, future graduates make up this class of '-19. We have a great form master in the person of Ivlr. Little who also attempts to put across the mistakes of our predeces- sors, a subject commonly known as History. Although his fatherly approach towards his class makes him re- proach rather than praise, we like him and believe that it's mutual. With all essential preliminaries over, we penetrate to the nucleus of our class, which is the charactersg nay, the students themselves. President john Jorgensen is the sole genius of our class, with intelligent face, the first in academic achieve- ments. He won First Class Honours last year and is going to repeat it this year, to be sure. Nothing dishonourable may be said about him here 3 he is boxing for the Beaver Boxing Club. The second best brain, as the Christmas exams proved, is in possession of a newcomer from Lisgat, Craig Carrot Top Stratton. He is an amusing fellow and if anyone wants to hear the latest jokes be sure to meet him. George Gorgeous Bannister, Vice-President, and Keith Goldie-Locks Young, his twin, are the boys who rented a ski-cabin for Christmas holidays, perhaps to try their skills on mud. jim Spike McLeod is prepared to bet anyone who doesn't agree with him. If anyone can break the bank of Monte Carlo it is he, and he will probably do it. jack Pee-Wee Birtch is a talented shop worker, and is probably the most efficient building destructionist in the school. The dramatically inclinel fellows or our form who acted in Heaven Can Wait were Stewart Inspector Callaghan, Ronald Dimples Sheffield, Paul Einstein janecek and Bob Perkins. Stewart Callaghan-he is our Student Council Rep. by the way-is really highly talented in acting, and he loves it toog he will grab the next opportunity to get on stage again. Some ofthe silent romeos of our class are Earl Slim Rodney, Steady Parks, Keith Crew Cut Ambridge, Silent Bob fNlO0dlC, Wild Bill Kearnan and Swish Laplante. Our sports activities are ably directed by Ron Finni- gan, the flashy centre for New Edinburgh in the junior City Hockey Division. Our Basketball squad with Stewart Callaghan as captain and centre went down to 38 12-EF Miss McCarthy will now call the roll for 12-EF : Anderson- Wee Willie -a teacher's delight. Baxter- Art -what a girlish figure! Besharah- Ken -a great historian. Boardman- The Board -Mr. Huot's pet. Calderwood- Bob -his favourite period, a spare. Cashen-He cashed in his chips. Constantini- Costie --a future wrestler. Crawford- jerry -he may be small, but he is brainy. Defalco- Martini -his favourite expression is I don't believe it ! Gauthier- Jimmy -you better watch out for his gang l Gorman- John -a real good head. Hamilton- Don -a genius in Geometry. Htyhorchuk- Ricker -a Basketball enthusiast. Gladu- Big Ed -a junior Football star. Mayo- Ron -our able President. Mallon- Fred -an old time dancer. jenkins-'jerry'-one of the Brains, Incorporated . Kemp- Bob -he plays in the Corn Huskers Lestage- Bill -a real bright boy. McKhool- Eli -wants to be a professor fSuckerj. Milks- Hayseed -a fair-haired laddie. Ogilvie- Walt -he enjoys the out-of-doors, that's why we only see him at school once a week. O'Neil- Booye -he was in the Air Force and he thinks that he is still flying. Reed- Allen -our class strong man. Taggart- Keith -a future chemist? Wardle- Ray -a star track man. Watters- Max Bently -ambition : the N.H.L g proba- ble destiny : Pee Wee Stick-Boy. Whillans- Al -an ex mechanic. Williams- Barry -every teacher loves him. Meikle-that's me. -ROBERT MEIKLE FORM 1 2-CD-Continued defeat in their first league game. The boys comprising the rest of the team are Ron Baker, George Bannister, Carl Fox, Craig Stratton, Keith Ambridge and Keith Young. For many of us this is probably the end of the road at Tech and therefore we are trying to make it a year to remember. Honi soit qui mal y pense. -PAUL JANECEK
