11A NEWS REPORT Uur first party made a perfect beginning to our cla» activities. I rank Hodges and his sister. Ethel, were our very obliging host and hostess. Frank allowed the boys to play cards in his upstairs game room, until the girls enticed them downstairs with thoughts of food. There was a large class turnout and a tew outsiders. The party was a great success. Eleanor Beacon entertained in her home during the Christmas vacation, but there was not quite o large a turn¬ out as previously. Bob Simpson challenged Frank Hodges to a cribbage game. Wc spent the evening dancing, playing the “usual games. and eating. Our class was well represented in sports activities. Wil¬ fred Fryday. our president, was on the soccer team. George Fitzgerald starred on the football team, and with Frank Hodges, gave the team a flying tart on the way to the W.O.S.S.A. championship. Paul Eesansky played on the hockey team. Bob Simpson was a prominent newcomer to the senior “hoopla” squad. Alex Banyai showed fine playing on the junior cage team. Beth Cullen, our only representative on the girls’ basketball team, was outstanding in the P.C.I.—Sandwich game. Barbara Douglas won the senior interform swimming championship. We have hopes of otir class being represented on the track and swimming teams. With Margaret Whited as captain, the girls’ basketball team succeeded in winning the pins. The boys’ basketball team? We won ' t go into that. The fellows promised to shine in the baseball scries. 11B NEWS REPORT Eleven B again stepped into the spotlight, this time on skates and carrying hockey sticks. Boh MacDonald. Dick Kobarts. Bob Orr. and Henry White were our representa¬ tives on the school Hockey Team. ()ur skating party was a lot of fun for the five who went. The wet day discou raged many and some got on to the wrong bay. But four pair of skates for five pair of feet left one person to take snap shots, and oh! those snap shots! On the bus coming home we had a reunion with the two who had been skating on the wrong bay. Class news wouldn’t be complete without a line about the Dag wood Buntstead of 11B (referring to Dick Robarts). At two seconds before the last bell. Dick comes flying into cla s. bis books after him and wc commence the lesson. Eleven B students have been known as the “Carolers” since Christmas. We sang “Merry Christmas” to all our teachers, followed up by our nifty song “Class Marks,” sung to the tunc of Kahn’s Clothes. The boys sang the song “Five Salted Peanuts until they found the machine broke in the Math class and they bad to put the tin of Planters away for a while. 11C NEWS REPORT Eleven C has bail a very successful year, thanks to the lapable leadership of Clas President Paul Stefan and Vice President Patricia Dodge. Our Hallowe’en Party held at the Y.M.C.A. was the year’s best. Although the record players were broken, dance music was provided for us through the kindness of a small orchestra. Eleven C has contributed much to school athletic events. Jack C.regg, Paul Stefan and Irwin Katzman played on the soccer team. Paul and Jack leading the team in total goals scored. Jack Gregg on the hockey team and Phil Biggies- ton on the football team were valuable to the coaches. Cadet Lieutenant certificates were awarded to Paul Stefan. Irwin Katzman and Jack C.regg, proving them very capable leaders. Among the Middle and Upper School Interform Basket¬ ball teams. 11C girls feel that they rate the highest. They met every opposing team with robust energy and good sportsmanship. When the teams for the finals were selec¬ ted. they were rewarded for their excellent playing by hav¬ ing the chance to win the interform championship and re¬ ceiving the pins. The first play-off game was won with ease. However, every good team must taste defeat sooner or later: and in the case of 11C it was later. Their first defeat was a close and thrilling one. At half time the score was tied, and at three-quarter time, it was still too close for comfort. The result of this most important game was heart-breaking, since 11C lost to 11A by one point. Our forward line consisted of height, weight and speed with such great players as Corkic Burton, Rose Mary Stone. Jackie Milhttrn. and Betty Mills: the guard line proved very strong with lime Mcpougall. Connie Clark. Audrey Chand¬ ler. Pat Dodge and Gerry Salem. Page Fifty-two Looking along Academic lines, wc find Jack Bickcrton and Pat Dodge neck-in-neck for the class pin. Many thanks to Mrs. Kitts for helping to make 11C the best cla s in the school: there was never a dull moment. Gossip of 11C Did Pat Dodge like her escort at the Melody March? How about that. Jim? Norton Mansfield’s great interest in the Physics class doesn’t all revolve around Mr. Hallam. Does it. Betty? Who’s the new girl friend. Paul?

Ping-pong turned out to be the game of the evening In order to accommodate the large number who wished to play, books were used for bats.
