We have decided, by all those dreamy glances, that Harry Kaloogian, our rugged all-star football player, is the holder of a new title— Pride of Upper School.

Unfortunately the girls’ basketball team, captained by Bar¬ bara Flowitt. was less successful and won only three out of six games. The class social life extended into four class parties, the first being held at the home of Doreen Doyle. But there seemed an abundance of outside male attractions. We won¬ der why? What have Upper School hoys got that those of 10E have not? Gossip has it that a certain R. B. had better wa tch his spelling in Mr. Menccll’s room. It’s funny how a grade ten student could spell hall bearing ballbarian.” Pretty intellectual!! I be classy lassie that blew in from New York at the beginning of the year, tripped, bead over heels, over a certain party. Eh. Pinkbead,.! The handsome English teacher with those blond waves has every girl in 10E drooling. Then lie wonders why the class average is low. But take it from us, he’s a pretty square guy. A certain B.

They were held i »nsectitively at the homes of Dorothy Beitler, Bill Gal linger, class president and Leona Branton. Each night s entertainment consisted of games, dancing and eating, with the revellers departing about 12 o ' clock. The third party displayed the inverted version of supply, when the boys brought the lunch and the girls arranged for the beverages. 10A sporty news shows the boys’ soccer team at an all time low. Captain Bill Gallinger accounted for the scoring, one game was tied, and the rest lost, because of the fact that the best players failed to turn out. We tried to remedy this bv frequently changing the players positions. However the girls’ basketball team, though not qualifying for champ¬ ionship pins, gave keen competition in winning four out of six games. I he class looked forward to the swimming meet with their representative Barbara Ouellette. Further pride was taken in representatives George W’alika, hockey team. Larry Cinat. basketball team, and cheerleader Bob Young. The class was distressed by the loss of their class presi¬ dent, Bill Gallinger, but enjoyed his successor, Joe Kiefer. 10B CLASS NEWS We started off our year with a bang with the first class party at the home of Jeanne Clarke, our class president. We held two others just as successful and are looking for¬ ward to the one planned now bv our vice president. Dennis Pazuk. The boys have had a successful basketball season and the girls went as far as the play-offs against KID. Suzanne Kennedy was captain. We are now looking forward to a successful girls’ volley ball season with Sylvia Mosley as captain. She was also the cheerleader for Honourable J. C. Patterson Institute. IOC CLASS NEWS From both a scholastic and an athletic viewpoint, this year’s IOC was an outstanding form. Three highly success¬ ful parties were held at the homes of Diana Pringle. Mary Gallinger and Shirley Green respectively. The last event, however, was a farewell party for Mary Gallinger, who left Windsor to take up residence in Fort William. Our best wishes went with Mary. Members of our class who entered the school public speaking contest were: Ann Ncmec, Shir¬ ley Green, Danny Scott and Gordon Wilson. Ann emerged the Junior Girls ' winning orator after highlighting her ad¬ dress with a musical conclusion of one of Mendelssohn’s songs. IOC was honoured with the arrival of a young Scottish lassie from Edinburgh, Annette Stnimp. On the boys’ side of sports the soccer team was found well up in the lead and was only eliminated by some trick of fate by 10E in the finals. Cither sports reports placed the girls’ basketball team, captained by Rennie Vaughan, just under the play-off standard though they fought with a strong spirit. Two of its members, Rennie Vaughan and Gloria Cross, although only subs, made the Girls’ Basket¬ ball Team and no doubt they arc future Pantherettes. Further sources of pride in IOC. Art McGuire and Steve Zimballate on the football team, and the latter with Keith Coulter and Red Wilson on the Junior Boys’ Basketball team. Keith Coulter and Lome Dunklev also represented the class on the school band. IOC also ranked in the poetic field with 1st prize going to Peggy Gow for “The Storm,” second prize to Art McGuire and honourable mention to Ellen Wickens. 10D CLASS NEWS lOD’s social life has not been too plentiful but those par¬ ties held were very successful. Two events were staged at the home of Helen Rollct and another, a bliae-jean partv. at Esther Allan’s. It seemed that L. C. and a few surrounding companions, received 25 Latin vocabularies quite often. One well-known love affair progressed with rather a one-sided atmosphere. But who knows what the future may bring? When one boy forgot bis “Tale of Two Cities.’’ Miss Stothers elated tlie class with the following joke: It seems that a very intellectual gentleman was intending to present a book to a friend for Christmas. W hen inquir¬ ing wb::t book hi friend would like, the friend replied, ’’W hy give me a book? 1 already have one!” Ah other sport ws was outshone by the fact that 10D girl won » c ha. tball championship.
