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.

Since most of the students were completely engrossed in their studies no class parties were held. Alan (Charming Cherub) Cohen became the “darling of the class. All the girls admired his “well-rounded features.’’ Did you know that Alan has all his clothes made at The Windsor Tent and Awning Co.? Well, lie does! The class was represented in the W.O.S.S.A. public speaking contest l»v Evelyn (I disagree!) McNab, who nabbed first place. John Drebot presented a hard-to-beat record.

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. There was singing and dancing to a wonderful record player. A very good time was had by all. Can You Imagine? Donna Waffle cold and shy Lorraine Watson giving L. Smith the eye.

And last hut not least—in a bright re d blazer Our homeroom teacher Mr. Roy Fraser. Class Happenings 12C Nick Lacyk fell asleep while writing his English exam. 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.
