9-XY sta the capable supervision of Mr. Bergin. The class officials in this out of the world class- at least that's what the teachers tell us-are Class Presi- dent, Dante Caletrig Vice President, Dave Finley, hard- working Treasurer with no treasury, Irving Gencherg Tech Talk Rep., jack Wight, and last, but not least, is our Athletic Rep., jimmy Fermoyle. In this large class of 27 musical-minded boys, our French star is Rene St. Germaine, with Dave Finley, Don the second part of the year under Bullis, and Pierre Shorkey right on his heels, while in Science, Dante Caletti took the cake, and are it all by himself. A foursome of sharpshootersg namely, Fred Rad- bourne, Pat Barnabe, Arnold Young and Dante Caletti tried out for the Bantam Basketball team, and they all made it ! joel Dobrofsky plays a trumpet in thejunior Band, and Vfayne Morrison beats a drum. Our stars in the Special Arr course are Irving Gencher, and Gary Hockley, which is only natural because they're the only two that take it. Well, there's lots more where that came from, but that's a big enough dose for now. -JACK WRIGHT 9-AB Our class letters, A B, are the hrst in the alphabet and we like to think that we are first in the other ways too. Mr. Halpenny, our form master who teaches us English and Social Studies, takes us out on trips. These make our studies more interesting and easier to under- stand. This is our class executive :jim Lindsay, President g Arthur Russell, Students' Council Rep. g Harold Townsend, Treasurer, Barry Robillard, Tech Talk Rep. In the Fall we conducted a contest to choose a proper design for our class crest. Tom MacIver's pattern was chosen and we are proud ofits very effective design. We won five dollars for selling tickets for Tech's annual play. Gordon Davies, Tom Maclver and Dan Foley from our form acted in the play. The following are members of out Super Duper Basketball team :jim Lindsay, Wayne Dempsey, Archie Dehler, George and Norman Halden. The three top boys in our form, as shown by examina- tions, are jim Lindsay, Arthur Russell and Bill Turton. Next year you will find us all in grade ten fwe hopej. -BARRY ROBILLARD 48 GRADE C105 9-KL This is 9-KL reporting to get you hep to facts for the 1949-50 semester. Our very understanding form master is Mr. Brule. And now for the cream in your coffee, the boys of 9-KL. On the intellectual side, we find Ghost Emond and Denis Laframboise. The morale builder of the classf?j Oh l that laugh, is it not familiar? Why its Bert Deslau- riers of course. Pete Belisle, the character who calls him- self Pancho is always with his rootin', tootin', shootin', partner Leo Gauvreau, alias Cisco Kid . jack Beausejour is the shy type. Blonde, handsome and brawny, he treads the only trail up to Immaculata every noon hour accom- panied by Paul Gauvreau and jack Charron. Our artists are Robert Charron and Lesage. They draw us our future homes and wives. Now for musicians: Mathee harps at the mandolin while Moe Marleau blows his gums out into the mouth organ, and finally ! l ! ..... Crash ! ! That was Ghost Emond striking a couple of broken chords on the piano. Godaire? . . . Full of beans that one. He's always up to mischief and that also goes for Gerry Gor- ley. Guy Rochon is our specimen of a fine collection of muscles. Nothing can stop him. B. BELISLE 9-MN I Our form, 9-MN is a very energetic and industrious class. This was shown clearly by the sale of tickets for Tech's annual play with 9-MN winning with more than six tickets per person. Sydney Hills led in the sale. With Don Awrey as class President, otherwise known as class orator, we are kept in good shape. Barclay Hay is an able leader as Athletic Rep. for the group. Tommy Huggins, the Vice President, also shows much interest in the class. Other students, such as Bern Welsh muscles , good-looking Bob Kincaid, Ken Riopelle, the beauty- boy , and wonder star Fleury, help give the spirit that has so long been with the class. Mr. Shouldice, our form master, is our main inspira- tion. Without him all our activities would seem to have no point. He is always encouraging the class. Some of the head boys of 9-MN are Jones, Trenholm, Sharp, Corkery and many others that deserve credit. Some students attend different organizations throughout the school, such as the Public Speaking Club. So with co-operation between form master and stu- dents, we have thus far been a very successful 9-MN. -GEORGE MILLER

Our class started olf the term with bad attendance but Sherlock Penney was on the trail of desperate truants. Up to date he has caught five oflicial truants.
