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? What has Sandwich got that Patterson lacks, besides, of course. Nancv? 11D TEN YEARS HENCE c left in forty-seven and now we’re back again. It seems like twenty-five years but it’s really only ten.

I2A has three pin winners as well as four football stars and one cheerleader. Martin Havran and Leonard Raizin, the artists responsible for many of the excellent posters about the school, are also members of 12A. The class’s French teacher. Miss Adams, thought that Vic Lcpa was hopeless when, the day before the exam, she asked him to form the Past Indefinite tense and Vic didn’t answer. In pite of this. Vic made one of the highest marks in the class. Milt Awcrbuck reccntlx quipped I’ll bet Harry Wade gets • () ' ,; G f bis sleep at school! How about it. Harry? On the evening of the momentous Assumption—Patterson football game. 12A held a class party. It was held at the Y.M.C.A. and Mr. Cameron consented to chaperone. A large number of the conquering football heroes appeared and were the centre of attraction. Bill Guilfovlc caused many raised eyebrows when he appeared, escorting (or courting! Frances Fontaine. 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. Careful care was taken not to use a Latin Reader when Mr. Cameron was in sight. Plans were made to huv Mr. Cameron a sharp bow-tie for Christmas. Even though the party was cut short at 11.30 p.m. everyone had n swell time.

Classes in I2A have been one hilarious experience front start to finish. Several class romances have sprung up. Harry Wade and Lydia Samlro have been quite chummy of late. Len Raizin and Joyce Fuller have had great fun together. Each day Lcnnic clops a lock of Joyce ' s hair. He judges that Joyce will be bald by June. Martin Havrin and Vi Mitchell make a handsome couple. What will Joyce Fenwick say, Martin: Mrs. Kitts starts each History period off with a question:—“Shall we let Harry Wade sleep today or not? Mr. Cameron scolded a loquacious 12A’er with. “If you ' ve got something to say send it to the New York Times and they will pay you $1,000 a sentence. If not,— shut up!!! Tony Zimbalattc was told to write his name on the detention board. Tony went to the hoard and in sprawl¬ ing letters wrote “Anthony Thomas Zimbalattc the Sec¬ ond. It took up 2 boards! Incidentally Tony caused quite a stir when he walked into the History room sans shoes or stockings. John Atkin has been busy lately, correcting Miss Adams’ French homework. On the day the picture of the class was taken. Martin Havrin asked Mr. Cameron if he wanted to use his comb. “On what? asked Milt Awcrbuck from the back of the room. Harry Wade told Mr. Cameron that Vic Lcpa was throwing snowballs. Mr. Cameron told Vic to go to the janitor and tell him that the room was cold. Jim Storey has become the idol of num¬ erous Grade nine girls. The End! 12B started the term off well with a rollicking good party on Hallowe’en. Jim Mosley, Class President, volunteered the use of his home. The crowd arrived about 8 p.m. and quickly invaded the cellar Casbah for gossiping and dancing. Freida Parker proved to be champion apple-clunker with Bert Paddon a close second. Bernice Katz displayed her culinary ability with a chocolate cake made for the occas¬ ion. Recorded music for the dancers was provided by Bill Dobson. Everyone agreed that the high spot of the evening was Dot Martin ' s skilful boogie-woogie playing. The group was highly entertained with a few choice items from Len Blumenfeld ' s supply of wit and humour. Jean Adams was responsible for the hilarious decorations. At about mid¬ night the party broke up and many of the kids went home (ii the back of the Border Cities Meat Market Truck (Rucben paid for gas). It was decided that Svd Sharpe and Joyce Ryan were the handsomest couple. When it was all over everyone agreed that the party had been a huge success. Miss 12B of 1947 Mr. 12B of 1947 Marg.

Food was plentiful and exceptionally delicious and games were numerous. The game most enjoyed hv all was “spin the bottle’’—no. not the kind of “spin the bottle that is almost universally known but something quite different. In a bottle were placed pieces of paper on which were written various conse¬ quences. The bottle was spun and the one to which the bottle pointe d, drew a consequence and then attempted to carry it out. The results were uproarious. Gus Nanos danced a jig and at the same time sang “God Save the King. Irvin Mus had to push a peanut along the floor with his nose. He crushed the first couple but finally attained his goal. Gloria Tyrrel sat cross-legged on an inverted milk bottle: Isabel Brien. with her hands behind her hack mnvrapped a candy kiss: David Smith danced the Highland fling: and Marian Hardy, the hostess, cried like a baby.

Donna Waffle made a couple of dozen runs in her best nylons, when she spilled acid on them in chemistry class. Every Friday afternoon melodious strains may be heard ushering forth from Room 203. once Mr. Culbert leaves the room. This is our spare period and in it. the members of the class get out the newest throw awavs and sing popular songs—and we’re good too. for in our class we have the noted tenor Boh Bunker to lead us in nour singing. Laurence LeCapelain. another member of our class, is a well-known assembly entertainer. Matthew Cocomazzi is a member of the senior basketball team and Ro Dolihan is a member of our noted hockey team.
