DcciiGftttOn HAROLD J. MUMBY Many people believe that education is a way of life; and all their time and en¬ ergy is utilized toward this one purpose - to bring knowledge and thus maturity and the qualities of good citizenship to young people . Such an individual is Port Hope High School ' s Vice-Principal, Mr. H.J. Mumby. Mr. Mumby was born on a farm about ten miles from Stirling, Ontario, on February 6, 1912. He was educated at Stirling High School and Trinity College, University of Toronto (3T3). For three years he taught public school at Marmora, Ontario, and later Wellington Continuation School enjoyed his services. He se¬ cured his first experience teaching high school at Pembroke Collegiate, where, for one year, our Vice-Principal was Head of the P.H.E. department. Ten years after his graduation from the University of Toronto, Mr. Mumby came to P.H.H. S. to teach his first love, the subject of mathematics. Mathematics might have been his first love , but it was not his only one. In 1936 Mr. Mumby was married to Marion Brown. They have three children - El¬ aine, Roberta, and Peter. Except for a short period during which he taught Grade 13 Physics, Mr. Mumby has been a mathematics teacher ever since his arrival at our school. In 1959, Mr. Mumby vacated Room 211 to become Vice-Principal of our alma mater, with headquarters rotating from his own office, to the counter at the students ' office and his teaching environment, the library. Now we come to a very important part of Mr. Mumby ' s life - the pride and joy of Port Hope High School — our Cadet Corps. Captain Mumby ' s military career began with the Lanark and Renfrew Scottish Reserve. In 1943, he obtained his G rade A Certificate at Niagara-on-the-Lake, and became Chief Instructor of Ca¬ dets at Pembroke. When he came to Port Hope in 1944, our school ' s cadet corps had disintegrated due to the popularity of air and sea cadets. But Mr. Mumby was not disheartened. Within a short time, with the aid of Mr. Brackenbury, the Prin¬ cipal, he established a small corps of fifty boys. Under Captain Mumby ' s guidance , the Corps went on to great accomplish¬ ments in the years following; and Port Hope High School became famous for the calibre of its cadets. Since 1944, as a result of the sharp-shooting of the 303 Rifle Team, the corps has amassed twelve Strathcona Cups. In 1958, P.H.H.S. scored in all three classes to bring home three cups in one year. Another outstanding achievement in 1958 by a member of the Corps brought glory to our school — Leigh Winfield placed first in all of Canada in the Cadet One Hundred Roll. Cap¬ tain Mumby has himself advanced in the Cadet Services of Canada, and is now president of Eastern Ontario C.S. of C. Association. After a year of teaching mathematics, most people would welcome a holiday in the summer months. Mr. Mumby, however, on several occasions during the years from 1947 to 1958, spent his summer vacations as an instructor of cadets at Camp Ipperwash. In 1959 a great honour was bestowed upon Mr. Mumby - he was asked to represent the Eastern Ontario Area as an instructor of the Master Cadets at Banff, Alberta, where they were inspected by the Queen and Prince Philip. Our school is greatly privileged to have this man associated with us. (Continued on page 27) 5 Blue ’N White Staff 1960-61 EXECUTIVE Back Row: L-R Mrs Anderson (Staff Advisor), R.A.

Jean kept a diary in which he recorded the events of his day. One day is of particular importance: July 14, 1789. On that day his entry read: Nothing im¬ portant happened today”. Any diligent history student recognizes this as the beg¬ inning of the French Revolution, when Desmoulins led his followers in an attack on the Bastille. Our immediate reaction to this statement is one of scorn. How, we ask can anyone be so completely oblivious of events unfolding before him? However, un¬ fortunately for society, many many of its members know little and care even less about things going on around them. In a school especially it is vital to school spirit and the success of student organization that students be aware of what is happening within the school. Know¬ ledge of a situation increases appreciation of it. Criticism of a school function is too easy unless you have had a hand in its planning; finding flaws in a school team is prevalent among those who have not watched the players drill and practice; im¬ patience results in waiting for the Blue n White unless you have first-hand know¬ ledge of the effort required to meet the deadline. The attitude of too many is, Let the executive do the work. It ' s their job . It would be wise to face the fact now that you are not always going to be on the out¬ side looking in. Someday you will be in a position of responsibility and realize what a boost a little outside help can be. Just because a group doesn ! t beg for ex¬ tra help, don ! t take it for granted that it is doing wondrously well with its mem¬ bers. A fact that is unfortunate but true is that in every organization, regardless of size, a small minority does all the work. This has been driven home to me time and again as the head of an organization and my contemporaries will agree. To those who have done your own work and a majority of someone else f s go our undying thanks. To the remainder of those who were content to coast along on the generosity of others goes our sympathy. To the student body as a whole go our- exhortations to be dissatisfied with your present knowledge of all things. Think about this; A person who is content with what he has done will never be famous for what he will do. 7 Best Wishes To PORT HOPE HIGH SCHOOL Eldorado Mining and Refining Limited crfcfinincj J iviAion PORT HOPE, ONTARIO CANADIAN URANIUM PRODUCTS FOR RESEARCH - NUCLEAR POWER - INDUSTRY PRINCIPAL ' S MESSAGE Congratulations to Arthur Lawson and Suzanne Perry who, last year, upheld the honour and tradition of Port Hope High School by winning two university schol¬ arships - Arthur, the Archibald MacMurchy Memorial Scholarship at University College, and Suzanne, the George H. West Residence S c h o 1 a r s h i p at Victoria College. In addition, Arthur was awarded an Ontario Scholarship and a United Counties Scholarship. These two students have set an example to you in the lower grades - a record to be equalled or surpassed! Nor were these two alone set apart from the rest of their class. Forty-three students in Grade 13 were candidates for the Grade 13 Departmental Examinations. These candidate s wrote 345 papers and passed 290 of them for an overall per¬ centage of 83.1%. These results were significant because the I960 class was the first one to reach Grade 13 via the programme of a wider range of options be¬ ginning in Grade 9. These included Industrial Arts, Home Economics, Art and Music. As indicated by the results, the introduction of these additional options had no adverse effect on Grade 13 results. Even if this percentage had been lower, the fact alone that the ratio of the number of papers passed in I960 to the number passed in 1959 was 3 to 2, would justify the expanded programme. In addition, thirty-three students went on to higher education - 18 to University, 3 to Teach¬ ers College, 2 to R y e r s o n Institute, 8 to Schools of Nursing, one to Chartered Accountancy, and one to School of Gardening. Four external scholarships and eight bursaries were awarded to this class. Extra - curricular highlights included the winning of the Central Ontario Secondary Schools Association C h a m p i o n s h i p by the Junior Girls Basketball Team; the retention of the Colonel Duffy Trophy by the Cadet Corps; the success¬ ful production of two plays entitled ’’Grandfather s Chair and The Indian Giver” by the Dramatic Society; the winning of five prizes at Music Festivals by the mus¬ ical organizations, including the Glee Club ' s debut in Toronto. The social events conducted by variou s organizations under the supervision of the Students ' Council were most successful. The simplicity and effectiveness of the decorations at the Graduation Dance are worthy of special mention. Lastly, the Staff of the Blue ' N White are to be commended for their many hours of hard work in performing a herculean task. 9 STAFF Mr. H.J.

We had our irons firmly in every fire in the school - The Students 1 Council, The Cadet Corps, The Blue N White and all the rest. What s more, we made history as the largest Grade Thirteen ever to graduate in the history of P. H. H. S. . To-night we have a special distinction. Ours is the first graduating class to have started Grade 9 in this school. To me this represents another aspect of the meaning of this night — an important one to those of us who are graduating. As well as marking the end of one period of our lives, this occasion signifies the be¬ ginning of a new and exciting era for us. To-night is, after all, Commencement Night, not ending night. From now on we will be faced with new challenges that we have never met to such a degree before, challenges that will be presented not only by the problems of adulthood, that have beset men and women ever since time be¬ gan, but by new problems that are unique in the world in which we are going to be living. Even now our traditional beliefs are constantly being challenged by new discoveries; our nation and our way of life seem to be under attack from opposing idealogies; indeed, the very existence of humanity often looks to be seriously en¬ dangered. As we study the course of contemporary events and try to predict the direct¬ ion it will take in later years., it becomes increasingly obvious that anyone who hopes to play a role of any importance in this new world must face up to the chall¬ enges, the dangers, and the opportunities inherent in this new world will present him. What s more, it is only a dedicated few who will meet these conditions, be¬ cause in varying degrees, every single person who will have reached adulthood in the next ten years will be affected by the great changes that are only now beginn¬ ing. We, who are graduating to-night will meet these challenges in teaching, in science, in military life, in business and the extent to which we progress in our vocations will depend in a very great degree on our success in meeting these new challenges and so, keeping abreast of this new life. Faced with this proposition it becomes apparent that extensive preparations will have to be made to meet new situations, and we might well ask, how well are we prepared to meet them. While by no stretch of the imagination can we ever say that our last five years at high school have provided the preparation, yet, I believe that they have laid a firm basis on which we can build, to equip ourselves for what lies ahead. Their great contributions were not just the rules, the vocabularies and the forms, (indeed, these in themselves have small value for the purpose we are considering now,) but those ‘by-products of the process of education that can t be looked up in mathematics tables or vocabularies, those great values of our education that could not be formally tested last June. It is the retentions of these values that will mea¬ sure the success of our education, even if we forget everything else: if we never remember the chemical reaction when magnesium meets sulphuric acid, may we remember something of the concept of critical testing and analysis; if in ten years we have forgotten how to conjugate Faire - heaven forbid - let us hope we have retained the appreciation of another people f s language and thinking, and that we will realize that our culture is not the only one that exists; even if we never use Pythagoras Theorem of a right-angled triangle, may we always remember how to think logically and apply that invaluable advice, One step at a time is sufficient progress. These, I suggest, are the sort of really 1 a s t i n g lessons of our high 15 school education, for when we have properly made these lessons a part of oursel¬ ves, these become the kind of bricks of which we build the foundation for ever-in- creasing tower of strength with which to face the world. But to-night is a time to look back. These valuable lessons that we have ac¬ quired will become a part of us and our attitudes, and as such they will remain without our thinking too much about them. So to-night it is not these that will be called to special notice. But to-night we will remember with deep gratitude those who caused these truths to be instilled in us - our teachers who, while instructing us, in rules and formulas revealed beneath them the deeper and more lasting as¬ pects; and our parents whose encouragement, support and f r e qu e n t assistance made any success we had possible. But above all, to-night we look back on the good times we ' ve had in the last five years and the people who made them good. For to-night, anyway, we ' ll forget about new lives and new challenges that lie ahead and for a few hours just think about what we are leaving behind.

After completing Grade 13, Don is hoping to enter U. of T. to specialize in French and Latin or Spanish. Just now he is specializing in keep¬ ing us in stitches with his witty remarks and halarious char¬ acterizations . NOEL WRIGHT: Dear Noel is a personality set apart. He loved us enough to stay on and be XIII B ' s rep. for Student s Council and a mem¬ ber in good s t a n d i n g of the French Club. His social Sciences course at Queen’s seems justified after being our esteemed Santa Claus for the Christmas Party and prize winning Henri¬ etta at Hallowe’en. Neath that golden smile there is pride too. ’He’s now an uncle . 12C SPECIAL COMMERCIAL PEARL AUSTIN: Pearl has played on the class Basketball team for 12C.

JOAN DENYER: Joan is the Secretary-Treasurer of the Student ' s Council. During her first three years of High School she was active in the Musical Organizations.

Laraine played on the class volleyball and basketball teams. She gets high marks in all her subjects as a result of all the studying she does. Upon graduation she hopes to work in Port Hope. JACK FRASER: Jack who is a member of 12C was voted unanimously to be a member of the Boy ' s AA. Reason is he is the only boy in this class. He is the secretary for that association. Jack ' s better subjects are b o o k k e e p i n g and math. When finished school he hopes to get a job as a bookkeeper. SUSAN HAYDEN: Sue is the lifeblood of 12C.

She seems to have a little trouble getting her bookkeeping up to date, but in athletics she is always on time. Tina has played on both the School Basketball and Volleyball teams. When Tina graduates she hopes to obtain a position as a typist. We wish her the best of luck. MARLENE TOWES: Here is anothe r girl in 12C who helps to keep our spirits high.

The Senior Band opened the programme playing Cath¬ edral Canyon , the examination music for the Peterborough Kiwanis Festival com¬ petition, and selections from My Fair Lady . The Senior Band later accompanied the Glee Club to perform They All Call it Canada. The Music Council Talent Conte s t winners — the 1OA Combo and the 12B Impressionists performed well. It is hoped that next year the Music Council will continue this search for hidden talent. Harold Tharme, playing the mouth organ and guitar simultaneously, was an instant success and the audience received a pleasant surprise when they heard popular songs played without the usual racket. The Junior Band played the Sweethearts Waltz and Moving Up DayMarch, followed by a violin solo by Mary Rose. Mary was chosen by the music instructor, Mr. Werner, because of her hard work and calibre of ability. The Senior Orchestra entertained the audience with Melodies from the Cav- alleria Rusticana and Minuetto from the Fifth Symphony. Immediately after that, it accompanied the Glee Club for the singing of Through the Years. In the Garden Waltz was performed by the Jr. Orchestra. This orchestra is composed mainly of first year instrument students, and while the performance was not perfect, the enthusiasm shown by this group is refreshing. The Glee Club has won a place in the hearts of Port Hopers, it seems, for their excellent performance was warmly received, and with this encouragement they will surely do well in competition. Peter Dent, accompanied by Bonnie Malcolm, showed great promise with his clarinet solo. He also was chosen to play because of his obvious interest in music and his ability. The intermediate Band played the Festival March and Little English Suite, followed by the Grades 9 and 10 String Ensemble’s rendition of Larglette from Concerto Grosso. The climax of the evening came when Mr. Werner presented the Music Coun¬ cil Awards of Merit to the various deserving students. Geoffrey Kennedy received the Philip Sousa Band Award for being in the Sr. Band. Dorothy Muldrew and Bill Skitch received similar awards for the Orchestra and Glee Club respectively. The evening ended with a dance and refreshments. The Music Council of 59-60 would like to thank the staff and students for their co-operation in this undertaking and also we wish the Blue N White continued success in producing one of the best school editions in the province! STUDENTS ' COUNCIL CAMPAIGN September 19-22 By Carolyn Pollock Throughout the campaign for 1960-61 Student s Council, our school was im¬ pressively transformed with Happy Gang clowns , black and yellow Polka-Dots, slogans and posters displayed prominently everywhere. Both parties had theme songs which were sung in the halls, in the cafeteria, and even in classrooms. Cars gaily painted for both parties were placed in the parking lot where all could see them. ,«■ During noon hour, soap-box campaigns were held. Nominees for both par¬ ties were introduced and many stunts were tried to win the favour of the student body. The Polka-Dots, under the leadership of Pauline Hodgetts, and Bill Skitch, 26 their popular candidate for vice-president, introduced a very successful band from Port Hope High School, the Montereys. Ken Hancock, ' leader of the Happy Gang, and Sandra Johnston, their friendly vice-presidential nominee, also presented an excellent band, the Marquis. Two members of the beat generation, Cleo and Leo, performed a very am¬ using skit, during the Happy Gang ' s noon hour campaigns . Ken Hancock, their talented leader, gave us his rendition of the Blue Danube Waltzes and also per¬ formed on the ukelele for our enjoyment. A member of the Happy Gang party was hoisted into the clouds via the flag pole, causing quite an exclamation from on¬ lookers . The Polka-dots really went to town on their campaign, having a number of contests relating to their theme. Judy Black guessed the number of Polka-dots on Pauline ' s skirt and sweater and Priscilla Carrier won a draw for a cake. Perhaps the biggest surprise of the Polka-dot campaign was provided by the leader of the opposition. Ken Hancock found th£ missing polka-dot from Pauline 1 s attire and was awarded a cake. This campaign introduced many novelty ideas, proving that the sky ' s the limit, for one noon it even rained polka-dots. Many new and exciting ideas were presented in the final speeches which closed the campaign. The Happy Gang platform promised an increase in school spirit by supplying instruction in the fundamental rules of sports, so spectators would know what was going on. Transportation would also be provided for rural students coming to school functions. A mascot for the school, a bulldog was suggested which would symbolize gentleness, courage, and fighting spirit. Square dances, a bi-monthly paper, a grade nine initiation and a vote oh the controversial question of school uniforms were also proposed. A very novel plank in the Happy Gang speeches was laid by an amateur ventriloquist, David Black and his dummy Terry. Promises of the Polka Dots nailed down in their campaign, included plans for a ski-club, a noon hour chess, checkers and cribbage club, a debating club, a winter carnival and a political science club which would visit Ottawa, Washington and New York. Trips were proposed totheC.N.E. Grandstand, the Stratford festival and Argonaut football games. Another interesting idea was a Turnabout day when some lucky students and teachers would exchange identities. With these promises in store for them, the student body had a very difficult decision in order to vote wisely for a good Students 1 Council. An n In and Out - Get Acquainted dance was held to mark the end of this year ' s campaign for the Students ' Council. Tension mounted until at ten o ' clock the new Students ' Council was announced. Ken Hancock, leader of the Happy Gang, was elected president and Bill Skitch of the Polka Dot Party was the successful candidate for vice-president. All mem¬ bers of both parties received very enthusiastic applause. So amid cheers and congratulations the 1960-61 election campaign drew to a close, leaving the impression with the entire student body that this would be the most exciting year in the history of P.H.H.S. DEDICATION - HAROLD J. MUMBY, (Continued from page 5) To the students who visit him in the office, Mr. Mumby is noted for the occa¬ sional Admit Slip, (or detention?), issued with a warm smile. The scholars who frequent his math, classes in 115, in an atmosphere of triangles, circles and sq¬ uare root signs, know him for his wonderful sense of humour. To the boys in the Cadet Corps, Captain Mumby is famous for his love of perfection and discipline. Captain Mumby has retired as Chief Instructor of the Cadet Corps at Port Hope High School: but we are confident that his good work will be carried on by his successor, Capt. K.G. Rose. And so to Mr. Mumby, for his devotion to the cause of education, for his success with the Cadet Corps, and for the honour which he has brought to P.H.H. S. thereby, we are proud to dedicate the 1960-61 Blue ' N White. 27 W ' neJmq people- wilK pokftdoTs � J. CL Vl ' el ICtLlOlLS vvCLy To w’nrv faffirig on poss ' ie?

KENNER COLLEGIATE ORCHESTRAS October 28 Lynne Kerr On Friday October 28, the students of Port Hope High School were enter¬ tained by the Senior and Junior orchestras of Kenner Collegiate. Under the dir¬ ection of Mr. Homburg, the two string orchestras presented an hour-long concert of classical and popular music. At one point, the Port Hope students of the Senior orchestra directed by Mr. L. Werner, joinedKenner for a medley of compositions by Schubert, Handel and Brahms. Some h i g h 1 i g h t s of the concert were the novelty number Plink, Plank, Plunk, and a beautiful rendition of the favourite song Blue Moon. It is hoped that this concert will provide an incentive to the Port Hope students of music, and the school is grateful to Kenner for a wonderful musical interlude. HALLOWE ' EN DANCE October 28 Lynne Kerr The teenage ghosts, hobgoblins, hobos and such were on the prowl last Fri¬ day night. The Students ' Council took charge of the evening and organized a most en¬ joyable dance. A huge, evil spider was suspended from the ceiling, and viewed through the nets. It presented a fearsome sight. Cats, skeletons and ghosts hung on the walls. Boo Mill reminded everyone of deceased friends and the poor man ' s Tom Dooley, dangled from a tree limb. Prizes for the best couple were awarded to Cathy Raynor and Betty Knight, and for the most original costume to David Duchesne and Gwen Darling. The prize for the most humourous costume was won by Noel Wright. It was, all in all, a well-run evening enjoyed by all, even the two mysterious Arabs who didn ' t stay long. Say who were they anyhow? A vote of thanks to the Students ' Council and to the chaperones, who survived the evening of fun, Mr. and Mrs. Buchan and Mrs. Anderson. 28 REMEMBRANCE DAY SERVICE November 10 Gwen Linton On November 10 the student body assembled in the gymnatorium for the ann¬ ual Remembrance Day Service. The army cadets, sea cadets and air cadets dressed in uniform were seated on the main floor. The programme opened with the singing of O God Our Help In Age s Past”. This was followed by everyone repeating The Lord ' s Prayer. Major Leigh Winfield read the first lesson. The highlight of the service was an address given by Mr. Walker. He started out with a reference to the story of Elijah and Elisha taken from the second chap¬ ter of Kings. This story is concerned with a double inheritance of the share of the soul. The mantle was the material inheritance from the past and the spirit was the qualities of art and mind. We in Canada have a proud inheritance from the found¬ ers and pioneers of this land. Other nations realize this but can they see that we also have our religious convictions? In summing up Mr. Walker stressed that we should pray for this double inheritance. Kenneth Hancock told us whom to remember; the pioneers, those who es¬ tablished our government, those who fought in the armed forces and whose names are enscribed on the Honour Roll. This was followed by the Glee Club singing, O Valiant Hearts . The sentences of Thanksgiving were read by Captain H. J. Mumby. Mr. Bigelow read the Roll Call and immediately following Captain Vernon Huffman laid the wreath in memoriam of the dead. Mr. P. J. Bigelow explained the meaning of the Last Post . The blowing of the bugle at 2200 hours indicated that all men were to r e p o r t to their quarters. At 0060 hours the bugle sounds a new day. This is all routine to a soldier. In this service today the Last Post means that someone has died and by the sounding of the Reveille a new life is in store for us. A two minute silence was observed by all. Bugler Nyle James sounded the Reveille . Mary Lawson read a prayer of hope. The service ended with everyone rising to sing God Save the Queen. Compliments Of RANDALL ' S BOOKSTORE 29 COMMENCEMENT November 18 Gwen Linton The most important event of the high school year, Commencement, was held on Friday, November 18. Early in the evening the graduates attended a dinner. This was their last night as Grade 13. As the band expertly played an appropriate march, the graduates, prize winn¬ ers, and recipients of awards filed into the gymnatorium. After the singing of ”0 Canada”, Mr. R.I. Fallis, Chairman of the Durham District High School Board, spoke of the accomplishments of the pas t year and gave thanks to all those who had helped in any way. Scholarships, bursaries, prizes and awards totalling $7685. were bestowed upon worthy students. This is a great deal of money and we know it will be put to good use. Who said education does not pay? It might be well to note the ever increasing number of scholarships and bur¬ saries awarded. A student of P. H. H. S. received an Ontario S c h o 1 a r s h i p , the Archibald MacMurchy Memorial Scholarship (both awarded to Arthur Lawson), two Danforth Foundation Bursaries, Atkinson Foundation Bursary and six Dom¬ inion-Provincial Student Aid Bursaries. The Blue N White awards were presented to Mary Lawson and Ron Cameron by the present editor-in-chief Marguerite Reidt. Patricia Frost was the recepient of the Students Council award. Carolyn Pollock, Doreen Wladyka, Marguerite Reidt, Jane Wilson, and Arthur Lawson headed their classes from Grade 9 thr¬ ough 13 respectively. Each received the General Proficiency Prize awarded for their grades. In his principals report, Mr. P. J. Bigelow said, A reunion at this time renews friendship and permits graduates to compare notes. Their presence here is an incentive to those in lower grades to go on to greater and better things. He went on to note the increase in diplomas and prizes during the years. In conclusion Mr. Bigelow summed up the Highlights of the school life for 1959-60. Arthur Lawson, valedictorian of last year s graduating class, in his well pre¬ pared speech paid tribute not only to the more formal aspects of his education but to the by-products of the educational process . He expressed the feelings of all the graduates . Near the close of this memorable occassion the Glee Club sang Over the Rainbow” which has become a tradition in memory of the late Dean Wilson. The students of P.H.H.S. rose and sang their school song. Parents and friends joined them in the singing of the National Anthem which was the symbol of the close of another commencement. The graduates, students and parents were invited to stay for the dance follow¬ ing the exercises. On behalf of all the students we wish you, the graduates of 59-60, the best of luck in your chosen fields. WOMEN’S CLOTHES TO SUIT ANY OCCASION BALLETT’S LADIES WEAR Port Hope 73 Walton St. TU 5-2372 30 Sadie Hawkins F ebruary 11 HILLBILLY HAVOC Karen McEwen The two weeks or so before February 11 were hectic ones for boys and girls alike. The lassies were running after their favourite male trying to ’’snare” him for Hillbilly Havoc. Before long all the fish had been caught and final prepara¬ tions for the night were under way. The dance was sponsored by the Music Council and Dramatic Society. Admission was by the girls skill in pinning the tail on the donkey. If your aim was good you and your escort got in free, otherwise you might have paid anywhere from five to seventy-five cents. Lanny Williams of the ’’Marquis” was the mystery M.C. Those who had their shoes on were put in the ’’outhouse” in the centre of the floor by him. Decorations consisted of signs, a pile of hay and to complete the scene, jugs of cider. For the first time aKing and Queen of Hearts were chosen. A contest was run during the week. Students had to guess how many hearts were contained in a jar. The two who came the closest were Marlene Rettalick and Ken Menzies. The Montereys played a few numbers during the evening, for a change from records to live music. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed them. I think that I can safely say tha t a good time was enjoyed by all. HOME ECONOMICS TRIP February 18 Gwen Linton On Saturday, February 18, twenty-six girls accompanied by Mrs. M.I. Martyn, Mrs. S.G. Roberts and Mrs. Conlin from Cobourg attended Open House at the Home Economics Department of the University of Toronto. Divided into two groups and conducted by a guide, we visited the chemistry labs, the food testing centre and a lab. where guinea pigs and rats are given spe¬ cial diets lacking in a certain vitamin or other food element essential for our bodies and kept under surveillance by students as a part of their study. Worthy of note was the visit to the living quarters of four students in their last year of study who live in for a certain length of time to experience the problems and manage¬ ment of a home. After an hour and a half tour we all met in the lounge where cocoa and cake were served. The highlight of the day was the Fashion Show put on by the students attending the University. The clothes modelled ranged from sportswear to glamorous ev¬ ening gowns. These were samples of what each year ' s course in sewing included. It was a delightful event to see. After the show we were allowed a few enjoyable hours to do as we pleased before our return trip Although it poured rain all day many went shopping while four students visited the grounds of the University. I think that I can say on behalf of all the others that it was an interesting ex¬ perience and a worthwhile trip. 31 March 2 PLAY NIGHT Lynne Kerr The second annual Play Night was held this year on Thursday, March 2. A g ood crowd of parents and friends came out to support the budding actors and ac¬ tresses. This year we produced two one-act plays n The Indian Giver and Grand¬ father Chair , which were directed by Mrs. Meeking and Miss Rigsby. Despite the late start this year both plays shaped up very well and provided a delightful evening. The Indian Giver began Play Night on a happy note of light family comedy. Ron Cameron was the outstanding member of the cast with his clearly spoken un¬ stilted lines. And surely we will never forget Jan (Aunt Vivian) Wrathall with her cat. The rest of the cast, Marie Hoskin, Carol Kerr, Joanne Neck, Annemieke Derkx, Heather Jardine and Michael Doody were all good. The results of Mrs. Meeking s many hours of careful direction were most gratifying. Grandfather ' s Chair , directed by Miss Rigsby held a moral for the aud¬ ience as well as good entertainment. Some of us may even have reviewed some History as a result of Miss Rigsby ' s rewriting of some of the lines. Carolyn Pollock as Mrs. Twining was good in her role although she lacked animation fre¬ quently. In David Murray a great and p 1 e a s i n g change could be seen from our Wilbur of a year ago. Angela Bathgate, Denise Greene, Dwight Elliott and John Fowler all played their parts well and did justice to all the work Miss Rigsby put into the play. At intermission Mary Lawson led a French sing-song in lieu of a French play. It was a most relaxing period between the plays and we hope to have more French in Play Night from now on. A special word of thanks must be given to Don Boughen and Jim Robinson who worked so very hard on sets. I can recall the hours of work repairing French doors and painting old stoves. Cathy Raynor was our wardrobe lady and a terrific help all the time and Mrs. L. Brown did make-up with the assistance of Liz Brown and Carol Robinson. Play night was a success and as we progress yearly the plays will improve and perhaps we can enter a drama festival. INDIAN GIVER Front Row: J. Neck, R. Cameron, P. Budge, Mrs. Meeking, M.

DRAMATIC SOCIETY Lynne Kerr For the second year the Drama Society was hard at work. In November they sponsored a trip to see My Fair Lady” at the O ' Keefe Centre in Toronto. This was done in conjunction with the Music Council and was a most enjoyable trip. In February, again with the Music Council, we sponsored Hillbilly Havoc, a riot of fun and dancing for everyone. This year the executive found it somewhat difficult to hold S tudio Nights as attendance was poor owing to the awkward hours. Therefore the Port Hope Comm¬ unity Theatre kindly adopted it and many of our members benefitted from the won¬ derful instruction at their studio nights. The executive this year was: President Lynne Kerr Vice President Sue Armstrong Secretary Carolyn Pollock Treasurer John Fowler Librarian-Historian Irene Benn We hope to be able to do still more work next year and take a no the r step in our climb up the ladder to prominence in High School activities.

C ' etait une soiree tres gaie! Pour la fete de Saint Valentine, les membres on mange le dejeuner a une grande table qu ' on avait d e c o r e de coeur s de papier. Nous avons chante les chansons que nous avons chante a la Soire“e des Pieces. Nous avons gagne plus devocabulaire, et nous nous amusons beaucoup a parler une autre langue. Dans un pays bilingue on doit pouvoir parler, au moins un peu, les deux langues, pour etre un bon citoyen.

By Doreen Wladyka On Sept. 26th., the first meeting of the 1960-61 Music Council was held in Room 219. A quick survey revealed that Grade 11 had captured the seniority of this year ' s council. The election of officers took place and the following bravely faced a year of dutiful service: President Peter Dent (Glee Club) Vice-President Lawrence Cleary (Senior Band) Secretary-Treasurer Bonnie Malcolm (Orchestra) Historian Doreen Wladyka (Glee Club) Publicity Convener Sue Armstrong (Senior Band) Students ' Council Bob Fitzsimmons (Orchestra) After Christmas the following were added: Reps from Junior Band - Judy Dent and Bruce Burley. This year the Music Council worked in conjunction with other organizations on several occasions. The first of these was on October 28th. , when the council negotiated with the Music Department of Kenner Collegiate of Peterborough. The council ' s endeavours resulted in a highly enjoyable afternoon concert by the com¬ bined orchestras of the two schools. Then, on November 9th, the Music Council corroborated with the Dramatic Society and sponsored a trip to Toronto to see the ever-popular Broadway Mus- ica l My Fair Lady , at the newly-opened and fabulously beautiful O ' Keefe Cen¬ tre for the Performing Arts. I am sure that the memory of this thrilling per¬ formance will remain with us for a long time to come. Commencement was held on November 18th. On this memorable occasion the past president of the Music � Council,Mary Lawson, following in her brother Art ' s footsteps, received the Dean Wilson Memorial Trophy for her outstanding contri¬ bution in music. Soon after Commencement came the exams, after which, everyone joyfully heralded the beginning of the Christmas Season. On that last snowy day of school the students, gaily humming Carols with thoughts of holiday parties dancing in their heads, assembled in the gym for the Annual Christmas Party. It was a huge success and complete with all safety precautions for Santa. (There has been a ru¬ mour going around that someone has already signed for ' Throne-Testing for next 37 year.) Santa, who arrived in a rather unexpected way through Mr. Rose ' s chim¬ ney, was more popular than ever this year, and got all present in a joyful mood as they left to begin the holidays. In the New Year, the Music Council and the D r a m a t i c Society again pooled their efforts, to bring the Sadie Hawkins and Valentine ' s Dance to P.H.H.S. . On February 11th. after weeks of joint meetings and preparations, ' Hillbilly Havoc ' , otherwise known as ' Rock Around The You-Know-What ' , was presented. The dance was one of the most successful ever held and was complete with a conglomeration of candy hearts, red and white balloons, a King and Queen of Hearts, hay, little brown jugs, apple cider, and the hit of the evening - square dancing. The Glee Club this year, sponsored by the Music Council, performed at the Toronto Music Festival, and came second. This was the first time that our choir had ever taken part in that competition. The experience was invaluable and will surely provide the incentive for the Glee Club to go on to even greater acclaim in competitions in the years to come. The Music Council sponsored another trip to Toronto on the 27th. , to see the National Ballet of Canada perform the ' Nutcracker Suite ' at the Royal Alexandra. This, too, was a truly delightful performance. The student contest for the May Musicale, which proved so successful last year, is again in full swing and the students are trying their utmost for the opp¬ ortunity to present their talents at this year ' s Musicale. With the Musicale the history of the Music Council of Port Hope High for ' 60- 61 is ended. As we look back we acknowledge the certain people who have been instrumental in making the council successful. To Mr. Werner goes our deepest appreciation for his sound guidance and advice when we became a little too ex¬ cited, and Peter Dent, our President, our sincere thanks. Without his enthusiasm and his conscienciousness the Music Council could never have made it. Thanks again Pete, for a job well done. MUSIC ORGANIZATIONS Back Row: R. Austin, P. Austin, D.

By Ken Hancock The organizing of the two parties, The Polka Dots, headed by Pauline Hod- getts, and the Happy Gang, headed by myself, started the ball rolling for this term ' s student activities. The campaigning undertaken by the two groups was a little different this year. There was a Polka Dot shower along with rock n ' roll bands at noon-hour. The week was terminated by speech day as in former years and that evening the results of the campaign were announced at the In and Out dance, the last function sponsored by the preyious year ' s student council. Bill Skitch, a Dot was elected vice president, the president, representing the Happy Gang, was yours truly. Although the numbe r s ran close the majority of the new council were previous supporters of the Polka Dots. . Casper ' s Capers , the Hallowe ' en Dance, was adequately supported by the student body. This proved to be a success both financially and in encouraging the council, their efforts being appreciated. The council formed an inner council consisting of one member from each grade. The inner council met when general matters concerning the council were to be passed. The entire council met at least every month and any other time when finances were involved. At this year ' s commencement exercises a plaque was presented to the val¬ edictorian whose name was engraved on it along with the previous valedictorians from the year 1955-56. This was a combined effort of last year ' s and this year ' s student councils. The dinner for the graduates was held again this year in the high school caf¬ eteria before the graduation exercises commenced. As well as a meal this was a re-union for the students who are now separated by distance. As a new feature, writing pads bearing the school crest were introduced this year. The Christmas programme was run by the music council and the students ' council, the former providing the music and the latter the Santa Claus, this year impersonated by Noel Wright. Due to certain changes in the high school cadet corps, two dances were held in place of the original Cadet and Graduation Dance. The student council sponsored the Spring Prom, which was the high school formal. It was held in the gymna- 40 torium on April 14th, 1961, a Friday. Hal MacFarlane and his band, ten members in all, provided the music again this year. Umbrellas, rain, flowers, pastel streamers and garden swings decorated the gymnatorium. During the month of September this year a bus-load of students is scheduled to visit the theatre in Stratford Ontario. The students 1 council along with several other school organizations are making this trip possible for the first time. LIBRARY STAFF Back Row: L-R R. Walden, D. Hoskin, E. Anderson, L. McCreery, M.

FIELD DAY On Wednesday, September 28, P.H.H.S. held its annual Track and Field Meet. For once it was a warm, sunny day and the campus was covered with stu¬ dents grouped around pits and starting lines to watch contestants. As usual, points were given to event winners and the totals were compiled for class and individual standings. After a close race 12A managed to come out on top of the others. It was touch and go all day long, but finally 12A was victorious with 11A coming second, 12B third. This year Paul Crowhurst and Dick Merrill tied for the Junior Boys 1 Champ¬ ionship and Duke McCutchen was the Intermediate Champion. Larry O’Brien came out on top of the Seniors. Sandra Koehler, a Grade Niner, proved that she did not belong to a class of lower beings” as many seniors seem to feel, when she won the Junior Girls 1 Championship. Susan Armstrong won the Intermediate Championship and Pat Harris was Senior Champion after a hard won battle. BABY PICTURES PAGE 53 1. Susan Creighton, 2. Cathy Pomeroy, 3. Carol Sue Babbitt, 4.

SENIOR GIRLS ' INTRA-MURAL BASKETBALL Rosemary Walden There was great enthusiasm in the Senior Girls ' Intra-mural Basketball which took place during January and February. The Senior Girls included Grades 11, 12, 13 and each noon-hour two games were played. The teams received 2 points for a win, and 1 point for a tie. Thr¬ oughout, the points were close between 12A, 12C and 11A, but 12A proved them¬ selves superior by winning with a total of 13 points, 12C placed second with 12 points and 11A was third with 11 points. 47 JUNIOR FOOTBALL TEAM Front Row: L-R F.

JUNIOR FOOTBALL Robert Keyes The I960 F ootball Season was not very successful as far as the number of games won but the sportsmanship of the players did not flounder. David Behm (Captain) was our quarterback, well assisted by our halfbacks, Paul Crowhurst and Robert (Red) Berry. Graham Williams was our flying wing. Ted Wall, our right end, made an astounding run of sixty-eight yards in one memorable game. Much credit should be given to the line, comprised of Arden Pigott, Preston McKeever, David Christie, Bob Fitzsimmons, Ralph Sneyd, Paul Austin, John Derkx, Bruce Madge, Rodger Goss, Don Grimshaw, Gary Clark and many others. Being the only team this year, the Juniors were permitted to use the far su¬ perior equipment of the Senior Team. There was only one injury this season. David Behm, unfortunately is not the ideal tackle and was hospitalized for injured kidneys. The team was under the direction of Mr. E. E. Rose, well assisted by the two managers, John Bates and Ralph Pomeroy. The season was enjoyed by all the team even though it was not e specially succes sful. BABY PICTURES PAGE 42 1. Cathy Raynor, 2.

PORT HOPE HIGH SCHOOL SENIOR SPARTANS The Blue and White Senior Spartans of 1960-61 had an impressive 8-3 win and loss record. They started most brilliantly winning their first three games before tasting defeat. The end of their exhibition series was closely followed by the playoffs. The seniors won the sudden death game making them Northern group champions and thus advanced to the COSSA tournament. The seniors played Nicholson High School of Belleville in the first round. Led by their captain, Ron Cameron, the seniors eliminated the Quinte District School 42-40 in one of the best games of the tournament. With only a short rest the sen¬ iors entered the finals and left the floor proud losers to the COSSA champions, W ' hitby Henry Street High School. Members of the Senior Spartans were Ralph Pomeroy, Larry Moore, Roger Harness, Graham Pigott and Larry O ' Brien forwards, the guards and co-captains were Ron Cameron and John Wickett. Special mention goes to the coaches Mr. K. Rose and Mr. E. Rose for a most brilliant job. Larry O ' Brien TROPHY REGAINED! March 11. To-night the high-flying Spartan Seniors recaptured the much sought-after Old Boy ' s Trophy from the smooth but over-powered Old Boys. It was a rough, well-played contest, the lead changing hands many times. The final score was P.H.H.S. Seniors 55, Old Boys 52. The Old Boy scoring was dominated by Bullen with 17 points, E. Rose a P.H.H.S. resident, and Hibbard with 6 points each. Cameron, O ' Brien, Pomeroy and Wickett led the Seniors with 16, 10, 9 and 7 points respectively. The good sportsmanship of the Old Boy ' s was exemplified as Bill Jordon pre¬ sented the trophy to the 1961 edition of Senior Spartans.

During the school year we appear on Athletic Night and on Inspection Day. Stunts ranging from front rolls to back flips are tried and usually result in succ¬ esses. We are small, but willfull with our eight stanch members. Compared to large, well-instructed gym teams we appear very awkward but locally we are average, at times gain a casual OH or AH during a certain movement. Not too many students take an interest in gymnastics because they say It ' s too hard , or I could never do that . Another reason for our exclusion from school affairs is because most of the P.H.E. Instructors are busy coaching other teams. This year Mr. Scott has consented to help us and we are very grateful to him for his assistance. Speaking on behalf of the Gym Team, I would like to thank Mr. Scott for helping us out. BOYS ' GYM TEAM Back Row: Lawrence Cleary, Jim Robinson, Sam Hutnyk, Mr. Scott.

This system allows everyone, not necessarily an outstanding athlete, to receive the athletic reward, after obtaining the required points during the period of her five years at high school. Last year Jean Gooderham and Susan Hayden received this reward. In the following years we hope each girl will make it her personal challenge to obtain these points and help to strengthen our sports activities. DANCE: A noticeable change took place when both the Boys and Girls 1 A. A. f s spon¬ sored the Christmas Dance, the Holly Hop. A special thank you goes to Peggy Keyes for the preparation of the lunch and the decoration of the cafeteria. INTRA-MURAL SPORTS: 12C were champs in Senior volleyball and 9A took the lead in the Junior. A hardy thank you to the curators who spent so much time setting up the play¬ ing schedule for the class teams: SENIOR: Dianna Webbi Rosemary Walden, and Barbara Keyes. JUNIOR: Carol Sue Babbitt, Gwen Woolacott, and Bari Hills. TEAM SPORTS: Our school volleyball teams played well this year. The play-offs took place in Whitby, with the Juniors losing in the second match and the Seniors losing by one point in the last game of the third match. Although this was disappointing to the teams, it should be encouraging to the other teams to go that one step further and end up at COSSA next year.

SENIOR GIRLS VOLLEYBALL Lynne Kerr With the reputation of being good losers, the Port Hope Volleyball Teams started out with the goal of being good winners. This year because we are a COSSA B School and other B schools are too far away for games P.H.H.S. played a best two out of three matches series with Whitby to decide entry into the COSSA tournament in Belleville. Both teams enjoyed their practices under the able direction of Miss Pochon and Mrs. Fitzgibbon and went into the exhibition game with Cobourg reasonably confident of victory. The Juniors were defeated in their match but the Seniors won the first and third games to take the match. Our second exhibition game, this time with Bowmanville, was an all-round victory for the Blue and White Teams. Most of the Seniors can still hear Miss Pochon saying, ’’This year we go to the COSSA Ladies, ” when we won the first of three mate he s with Whitby. The Jun¬ iors lost this match, however, and things didn t look so hopeful. On Nov. 21st we journeyed to Whitby for the final two matches in the series. The Seniors were de¬ feated by a narrow margin as were the Juniors - a heartbreaking end to our shortlived glory. Still we have a reputation of being, as a visiting coach once said, ’’the best sports of the league, ’’and if we maintain this then certainly there can be no losing in this field of sport for sportsmanship is an important phase of our athletic programme.

Like an attack from the entrails of hell it poured its wrath down deep into the parched sands. Minute grains of crystal caught its flame, shimmered in a torment of colour in its ferocity, and beamed its fire to everything living and everything dead. Only a hardy desert native had ever dared to appear and absorb the heat and disappear. Only the lonely cactus had ever stood sentinel in that great white way. Nothing else had ever been. Only this. Then they had come: dark, pitiful, furtive figures that couldn ' t bear to suffer long in this inferno; small figures that left prints in the wasteland floor for only minutes. In this strip of white hell they were insignificant. Pitiful and yet powerful, furtive and yet bold, insignificant and yet moment¬ ous. They had created change which was one thing the desert had never realized. Always there had been the sun and the rats and the lizards and the cactus. Al¬ ways it had been the same monotonous, and seemingly-unending desert. Now it changed. At first the change was little in the form of a strange mass of silver-grey metal. Yet this thing which stretched high above the cactus caught the shimmering ferocity of the sun and beamed it with an even greater fury at everything living and everything dead. This thing which was a tower stood for the lizard and the sand and the sun and God. Then it was quiet again and the desert had felt the first a p p e a r a n c e of the men. The desert night brought with it cold. It was cold to the desert because in the bowels of the sun it had been hot. In the night the figures came again. They came and they shivered in the cold and they cursed because it was cold just as they had cursed because it had been hot. Sounds from the men broke the quiet spell of the desert but as their marks had been only fora moment in the hot sand in the day so their voices were only for a moment in the night. Then in the cold stillness of the dark night came the strange sounds that had never been heard before. At first the sounds were drips in the sea that was change and mortal. The voice of man dealt like a carrion peal in the stillness. It reverberated off the group of men huddled and shivering behind the concrete that was of man and off the far away silver-grey tower that too was of man. n One minute 1 til blast. Then the drips became a syncopated beat, and the men huddled and sweated because inside of them it was hot and their sweat poured out and bounced like spit off the steel that was of man into the sand that was of G o d and the sweat dis¬ appeared. The beat that was a drip became a stream and the voice kept on and suddenly there came out of the ground small spurts of smoke and the voice stopped and suddenly the desert was alive. No day had ever been that was like that night. The tower came alive and the desert came alive and for moments all that was on the desert was a great white all-enveloping and all-destroying and all-powerful light which blinded the desert and was like one million of the hottest suns that ever were; but then, it was gone and the desert saw again and it saw that where the tower had been and the light had been was now a great cloud that was a bruiting, rushing turmoil of colour It rose high into the night, which was still light, and took some of the desert with it. The light had blinded the desert and it trembled and erupted, and it was not until days had passed that the desert became still again. Days later it was hot. The sun poured its wrath down on the parched sands like an attack from the entrails of hell. Where the tower had been was a great 57 cavern but the sun and the wind blew the grains of crystal across the cavern until soon there was no more: the desert had swallowed up all that was man and all that remained was of God. Grade 13 Jack Schoon THE PRISONER Derrick rolled over. His eyes opened slightly. A brilliant shaft of sunlight burned into his head. Quickly he buried his face in the pillows and tried to sleep again. ’’To-day, ” he thought, Why to-day? Why not to-morrow, or the day after? Why not yesterday? Blessed sleep cut off his questions. His head ached continu¬ ally from the rank air and his body was stiff and sore because of the brutal beat¬ ings he had received at the hands of his jailers. In the beginning he had learned to sleep because there was nothing else to do. Now he was glad that he could sleep because it was his only escape from reality. At least, when he slept he was ob¬ livious to the world around him. Several hours later he awoke again. This time there was no escape. He was too restless to lie still so he stood up and moved to the tiny, barred window that was his only link with the outside. There was a hard knot in the pit of his stomach. He was hungry, but he couldn ' t eat the slop that had been left for his breakfast. His last meal and he couldn ' t eat it. Outside sunlight twinkled merrily on the thin crust which covered the soft snow on the ground. In the distance he could see a huge expanse of trees. They were perhaps a mile away. A few months and then it would be spring. Derrick could imagine the tiny green leaflets that would soon be growing on the trees. He could see the brilliant flowers and hear the happy calls of the birds. Why did he have to die ? There were tears in his eyes as he turned away from the window. He didn ' t w T ant to die. He was too young to die. There was so much of life to look forward to. But there was nothing ahead of him. Not anymore. He, Derrick Elmer Rob¬ inson, had been sentenced to death by a puppet court, deep in Nazi Germany. They had called him a spy, but he was wearing his R.A.F. uniform. He wasn ' t a spy, but he hadn ' t even been given a chance to defend himself. Death before the firing squad , the judge had bellowed at him. To-day he was to die. Does it hurt? he wondered. Strange, nobody had thought to tell him. What was it like to stand and face those guns? Well, he ' d soon know, but he ' d never re¬ member. Perhaps that was just as well. It might hurt terribly, but then, one can never really remember pain. This thought was no comfort, and he buried his face in his hands as he sat on the edge of the hard bed. This was something that happened to other people. It could never happen to him. Yet he was waiting for death. How many nice letters of condolence had he written to wives and mothers of his friends? There were so many. He hoped that someone would write to Helen. She would appreciate it so! What if no one told her that he had been a wonderful buddy? Why hadn ' t he bothered to make more frie¬ nds? Surely there would be someone who would go to see her. How many bereaved relatives had they visited together? He ' d never kept count, there were so many. Some of them would surely help to console Helen. He and Helen had always been so close. As small c h i 1 d r e n they had played together. They had always known that they would get married. There was never any question of that. Sometimes now it was as if she was standing there beside him. He felt a bond between them. It was as if he knew when she was thinking about him. What about the kid? His name was Ian. He was seven years old now, just getting to be a pal. He ' d miss his Dad. He and Derrick would get up to get her in 58 the morning and let Helen sleep late. Together they would eat breakfast and then they would walk to the big school which Ian disliked so. If he walked along he al¬ ways managed to be late no matter how early he started off. If only he could see the kid just once more. ' ’Helen please don ' t let him forget me. Back home they would be getting ready for Christmas. It was only a week away. People would be buying gifts and getting ready to play Santa Claus for the children. Once he had been Santa. How he ' d loved to see the kid ' s eyes light up as he gave each one a small toy. He ' d wanted to do it again sometime. The other pilots in his squadron would be having parties. There would be pl¬ enty of liquor and talk and laughter. If only he could laugh, just once more, but there was nothing to laugh at. Here he was, locked in a cold, bleak cell. He was hungry and unhappy, and so very much alone. He had only one cigarette to his name. He was waiting for a Christmas that would never come. The sound of a key in the lock caused him to jump to his feet. It had finally come. Resolutely he marched out of his cell and down the corridor. The other prisoners stood s i 1 e n11 y at the doors of their cells, a mark of respect paid to every doomed man. If only they would sing or talk or do something it would be so much easier, but they only stood and watched. The mile walk was too short. He wanted to walk on and on forever. On the way he smoked his one cigarette. He kept it as long as possible, partly because it was his last, and partly because he was shaking so. Why me, God? Why me? All too soon the escort of ten soldiers came to a halt. A huge, ugly sergeant grabbed him roughly and pulled him up to a tree. Harsh cords bound his hands behind him. With a start he realized that he was in those woods which he had longed to see. A shallow grave had been dug beside him. Fire . He crumpled to the ground and lay still. In London, Helen Robinson woke up suddenly. Something was wrong. Derrick was dead now. She knew, without being told, that he was dead. Before she had always felt a bond linking them together. That was gone now. She knew, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that he was gone. A few tears trickled down her face. She mustn ' t cry. Quickly she got up and threw on hei old, pink housecoat. In the kitchen she had only to turn up the gas and put on the coffee. Then she went to wake Ian. She couldn ' t let him be late for school again. Cathy Raynor THE RIGHT IMPRESSION Grade 10 Bob Banting was feeling extra good, for this morning he was going to open the law practice he had waited so long for. Bob was fairly tall, about twenty-five years old and had a good sense of humour which combined with a pleasant person¬ ality had won him the admiration of many friends. Walking down the main street, whistling and tipping his hat to the ladies, Bob was the envy of all pedestrians he passed. As he reached his office building he entered it and his pace eagerly quickened. At the door of his office he paused, set down his briefcase and undid the lower button of his overcoat so that he could search for his key. Unlocking the door he entered. Inside he paused for a second time to once more look over the office of which he was so proud. After removing his coat and hat he walked slowly around the office and then settled himself behind the new walnut desk and proceeded to wait for his first client. 59 cavern but the sun and the wind blew the grains of crystal across the cavern until soon there was no more: the desert had swallowed up all that was man and all that remained was of God.

When his client entered, Bob signalled him to wait and continued his conversation. At length he replaced the receiver and spun around in his chair.

The day had been fine, and now a tinge of frost lent a zest to the autumn air. The sun shot blood-red streaks across the sky as three friends and I chatted together in the roadway and plotted a long-anticipated revenge on mean Mr. Smith, a stern old- timer who lived down the road from me. As all the clocks struck ten, four shadows silently entered Mr. Smith ' s barn. A wagon load of wheat was in there ready to be taken to town next morning to be sold. We plotted for a moment and started unloading the wagon. We untied the bags of wheat and emptied it all over the floor of the barn. Mr. Smith and his family were in bed sleeping, but strange noises coming from the direction of the barn and an occasional growl from the dog had awakened Mr. Smith. Curious, he decided to investigate. Hurriedly slipping into his trou¬ sers and a coat, he crept silently, with a shotgun in one hand, and a lantern in the other, to the barn. Finding a crack through which he could catch a glimpse of what he supposed might be thieves, he saw us at work. We all chuckled as the last bag was emptied. Our job had been completed, so we sat down and rested and laughed over our prank. But just then the barn door creaked on its rusty hinges; we rose to see the stern eyes of mean Farmer Smith glaring at us. Our first impulse was to run, but the farmer could distin¬ gui sh our identities in the lantern light and then too, he had a gun. Silently he approached us. Well, he said, you young scampers have worked hard tonight, but your work isn ' t completed yet. He told us to bag all the wheat and put it back on the wagon. It was about one A.M. when we finished putting the wheat on the wagon. I had never been so tired in all my life. After that night my friends and I never did anything bad, and I never will. Margaret Byers. ESSAYS Grade 13 RESTORATION AND PRESERVATION Workers of the w o r 1 d , unite, you have n o th i n g to lose but your chains ! What an inspiration these words, written by Karl Marx, must have been to thou¬ sands of oppressed people. Yet these very words, the keys to Communism, have deceived thousands. True, the workers of the world may have lost their chains 60 when they overthrew Capitalism, but only in exchange for a second and heavier set under Marxist domination. Marxism is an evil which threatens the freedom of our nation at this very moment and it is, as such, an evil which we as free cit¬ izens must abolish. This strange, and still not so strange, ism is posing a serious menace to our future freedom, our families and even world peace. Despite its many facets and complicated theories, Communism is not difficult to comprehend. The Party leaders intend to conquer the world and all their plans are blue-printed towards this objective. We must see Communism as it really is to-day, a treat to humanity and to each individual. Marxism is a false religion. In the past twenty years a concerted effort has been made by the Communists to turn time back to an age of barbaric cruelty and despotism, all in the name of progress . In this ’’faith , evil is represented as good, terror as justice, hate as love, and obedience to a foreign master as pat¬ riotism, There is no God, matter is the basic reality. It is far more than a mere economic, political, social or philosophical doctrine. It is a way of life, a false materialistic religion. Under communist domination man would lose his belief in God, his liberty, his trust in justice, mercy and love. Everyone in a Communist State is a slave. What are the aims of Marxism? The primary objective is to create a man who will be an instrument of the State, a tool in the hands of a few Communist bosses. Under Communism the individual is completely subordinate to the State. A true Communist has to feel it is his duty to owe everything to the State and in return he will receive - absolutely nothing. Beneath the yoke of this rigid system of discipline, the indivifual is subjected to a restraint which impose s upon him uniformity and ensures the supreme power of the State. Nikita S.Kruschev, leader of Soviet Russia, reveals his own hypocrisy to us when he asserts the fact that the Soviets have no aggressive intentions and then turns around to say that they are Leninists and are for peaceful co-operation; but he is only attempting to get the free world to relax and then, when the time is ripe, the Communists will launch their attack and finally chant their funeral dirge over the free world. However, Communism is not as strong as we believe it to be. Never in a free election have the Communists won over an entire nation, and if it will achieve their purposes the Party leaders will resort to unlimited bloodshed. The Party members firmly believe that it is their destiny to conquer the world. Unless the responsible citizens of the free world do something to prevent this conquest, they will. It will not be because Communism is stronger than we are, not because it offers a better way of life, but because we may recognize too late who the Comm¬ unists are, what they are doing, and what is necessary for the ultimate defeat of Marxism. With its false principles the Communist Party is deceiving thousands of its own members. However, if we see the true nature of Communism its spread may be effectively cut off. The world’s intellectuals must see that here is the deadliest enemy of intellectualism and 1 ib e r a 1 i s m . Then they must dedicate themselves willingly to the death of this enemy just as have the Party members to their cause. When the responsible people become aware of the evils before them in the Marx- istDoctrines they will unite to wipe out this monster of corruption which to-day is a serious and very real threat to the freedome of the entire world as well as to the freedom of every man, woman, and child. Citizens of the world, unite, you have your freedom to gain! Lynne Kerr 61 Grade 12 BOTH SIDES CAN BE RIGHT But what good is your money doing you in the bank collecting dust? The prosperous looking speaker, loudly clad in a Miami tan and shorts, punctuated his words by sucking on a short cigar and guzzling from a beer can in his right hand. From the other side of the backyard fence a slight little man, dressed shabb¬ ily in gardening clothes, answered violently, n It ! s earning three and three quar¬ ters percent. As he spoke, he showed his vexation at having his financial wisdom questioned by waving the green trowel clenched in his fist. So it can sit and collect more interest instead of being used for your enjoy¬ ment, was the irate reply. Like you, I suppose , the little man snapped, eyeing the lounge chair where his plump friend had just been basking beside an expensive pool. And what ' s wrong with my standard of living ? The beer can slammed out an exclamation mark on the top of the fencepost. I have luxurie s and live well while you toil away making as much as I do but having nothing but ' money in the bank 1 and a struggling garden of some sort to weed. For your i nf o r m a t i o n , it ' s a rare species of Upper-Slobovian flowering Spear-cactus. As for what ' s wrong with your way of living - lack of security - that ! s what ' s wrong! Where would you be if a crisis suddenly arose? You ' d be done! Broke! Bankrupt! Hounded by creditors crying for their ' dollar a month ' on that swanky furniture of yours and everything else you own on the installment plan! By now, both men were almost at each other ' s throats and as the now beet faced fat fellow tried to reply, he swallowed half of his fifty-cent Havana in in¬ dignation. So what! he shouted, finishing the job on his cigar. So what if you ' re set for an emergency which will never occur. You could die tomorrow and never get a chance to use your dough. Nothing is going to happen to me so I ' m using my money ! A green trowel caught him neatly by the right ear and smeared the rest of its way across his face. He slashed out widly with his beer can but completely blinded by blood and gore, came only within a few inches of bashing his pal ' s skull down to his belt. However, trying to escape the blows, the frail gardener lost his bal¬ ance and fell back squarely on the spear of his precious Inner-Slobovian cactus, leaving his trowel deeply imbedded in his stumbling neighbour on the other side of the fence. A loud splash and shout brought help running as the extravagant spender tripped over his lounge and wandered into his own lavish swimming pool. It was as they both had said: the cactus grower never did enjoy his money unless he appreciated fancy funerals, and the sun-basker spent the rest of his life paying for the hospital bills and court defence. John Chislett Grade 11 DREAMS Dreams are fascinating things. They say they only last for a matter of min¬ utes, yet at the time they seem to last all night. For instance, just the other night I went to bed and quickly drifted into a deep slumber. Within a matter of minutes I was off to dreamland and saw before me an im¬ age of myself, in a desert. Why I was there I don ' t know, but anyway, as I looked around I saw a large animal staring directly at me, with large bulging eyes, and long horns. One look at this and I soon left, only to run into a swamp, full of cro- 62 codiles and large snakes. I turned back and ran in the direction from which I had already come, hoping the ugly monster had left. After walking for what seemed miles I saw an odd-looking object. On closer observation I discovered it to be a hut, obviously a place in which some sort of human must live. All too soon I found out, for out stepped a curly haired little fellow about three feet high with a bone in the top of his head. Evi¬ dently he had met with people like me before because he ushered me off until soon we were greeted by about thirty savages. They tied me securely and placed me in a sitting position so that I could watch them. It was quite a sight, to see a bunch of little men, running in all directions, chattering back and forth in their weird and unfamilar language. About five of the little men brushed past me carrying a large pot which looked a great deal like a stewing pot. Then a few more men would come and drop some small things iniit. After each trip to the pot they would look at me in a sly sort of way. I was able to smile back for a while, only later did I learn of their lack of food and that I was the victim of their next mean. ’THEY WERE CANNIBALS’. Suddenly there came forth a loud noise which to them was supposed to be music. This was the beginning of a great feast, which had been declared. The feast in itself was a joyous affair, yet I could not help but think of the future as far as I was concerned. All at once a little man pulled me to my feet and hauled me over to the stewing pot. This was it - the end, I thought. Simultaneous¬ ly the singing halted and the drums became silent. Slowly the chief approached me and turned me around with a jerk. Behind my back I could hear a whisper of low voices. Suddenly I felt a sharp knife at my wrist. Without realizing it at first, the strings which had bounded my wrists so tightly, were cut. I WAS FREE. When I turned around I saw a group of smiling faces who had spared my life . I didn’t bother to find out why of anything but joyfully proceeded to start home. Without notice I awoke and found myself still smiling and turned over ready to fall asleep and await another dream. Carol Thompson Grade 10 DIAMONDS Diamonds are what most women want and what most men cannot afford. Diamonds are the world ' s most valued precious stones. They are a very un¬ usual substance. While all other gems are composed of numerous elements, the diamond is composed only of carbon. It is the hardest substance known; therefore it is of great importance for industrial uses. The diamond can only be cut and polished by another diamond. It can however be split or chipped by a blow in the direction of the grain. Fine diamond gems are clear; most diamonds , however, are a grayish or yellowish, which is full of black carbon and other inclusions. These are set aside to use for industrial purposes only. The white diamond is most common. Those with bluish tinges are rare. There are many shades of yellow from straw yellow to deep orange. Blue, pink, red, and green diamonds are also found. Such stones are most rare. Rough diamonds look like pebbles of many shapes and sizes, but the characteristic shape is that of eight sides like two pyramids with their bases stuck together which is an octachedron. Diamonds are not beautiful until cut, but they have a higher index of refraction than any other gem; that is diamonds have a greater power to bend light rays. Literally a properly cut diamond is a light trap. The light is bent toward the centre of the diamond and reflects back through the top and the rays are broken into all colours of the rainbow. Since the diamond is the hardest substance in the world, it can be polished to such a luster that it reflects more light from the surface than any other gem. The combination of these qualities gives it a brilliant appearance. Jean Coupland 63 Grade 9 THE CANADIAN The annual carnage on our waterways is about to go into its lethal high gear. A certain number of live anglers will, during the ideal boating weather, become dead anglers. They will manage this transition with the horrible help of those persistent m u r d e r e r s , the careless boatmen. All anglers know these boatmen well. Some anglers must be counted in their ranks. They are the boating boobs who take the magnificent equipment, now available and turn them into deadly missiles. They do it by reckless speeding in congested areas. They do it by thoughtless manoeuvering around other boats and particularly around smaller ones. They do it by steadfastly refusing to learn or to obey the rules of our water¬ ways by which safety and orderliness may be maintained afloat. They do it by overloading their own craft and thus sacrificing their passengers to a carelessness that all too often ends fatally. I hope that just one of these water-borne wahoos will be shocked into sanity, and into learning something about sensible boating, before setting out this season. Here is a little story of how some of us, this season, could end our fishing and our lives. This story happened on one of our major inland waterways. To identify the location precisely would be simply to give some careless boatmen an excuse for saying, But it can ' t happen here . Be assured it can happen anywhere. A torn boat was towed ashore after a tragically familiar sequence. It was moving ex¬ tremely fast near other, slower traffic. Suddenly it went into a sickeningly sharp turn. As it careened about it struck another craft. Three bodies were picked up near the wreckage. A fourth body was found an hour later, floating in the path of other pleasure boats a half-mile down stream. Not a pretty picture is it? A shocking one, in fact. But, if remembered by the right people, it could lead to a far happier picture on our waterways in the tomorrows to come. Larry Moore POETRY Grade 10 WINTER WONDERLAND Icicles like swords, snow deep and white, Remind us all of a glorious night, A glorious night for frolic and folly, Making heart and soul feel jolly. Sledding, skiing, tobogganing too. O, what happiness it can bring to you! White fluffy snow, wondrous and grand, All in all making, a winter wonderland. Wendy Baskey 64 IF Grade 11 If everyone who drives a car would lie a month in bed With broken bones and stitched-up wounds or fractures of the head, And there endure the agonies that many people do, They ' d never need preach safety anymore to me or you. If everyone could stand beside the bed of a close friend, And hear the doctor say No hope” before that fatal end, And see him there unconscious, never knowing what took place, The laws and rules of traffic I am sure we ' d soon embrace. And last. If he who takes the wheel would say a little prayer. And keep in mind those in the car depend upon his care, And make a vow and pledge himself to never take a chance The great crusade for safety then would suddenly advance. Gwen Yeo Grade 9 THE MOON I am the glowing guardian of the night, The shepherd of a billion, scattered stars. My lonely beacon, ever burning bright, Remains unchanged through endless strife and war, Under my soft and intangible rays, At evening in some solitude confined, An exhausted soul my tranquilness will praise, I ' m the age old remedy for his weary mind. I have an air of peaceful fascination, Yet, I am known in every tongue and creed In every nation ' s alphabet formation, As most mysterious body in the firmanent. Although my beauty is not oft surpassed, It is short lived, for when the morning breaks I meekly view the glory of the rising sun, Then, as the shadow of a dying candle. . .fade. Richard Schoon Grade 13 ALONE I stood alone, The stars Their midnight vigil kept, The moon, Her everlasting cycle, And at my feet The waters leapt ashore. Darkness enveloped me And still I stood alone. The dawn Began to creep, The sun to shine, Now daylight filled the world. I turned, Disappeared, And still, I was alone.

Georges Smith (c est un nom peu commun au Canada) etait un petit mon¬ sieur entre deux ages. II etait tout beau, sauf un endroit chauve sur le derriere de latete. II e ' tait toujours bien habille , quoique ses vetements fussent simples et pas elegants. Dans la banlieue d ' une grande ville, lui et sa femme demeuraient dans une maison blanche dont ils s ' enorgueillissaient beaucoup. Ce logis agreable etait en- tour d une grande haie mince qui n’atteignait guere le seuil de la fenetre. Or, Georges pass ait beaucoup de temps a tailler cette haie-la, ce qui etait toujours un travail difficile. II travaillait fort ' a son bureau en ville et quand il etait rentre le soir, il voulait se detendre dans son fauteuil favori. Mais non! Sa femme criait: Georges, la haie a pousse audessus du seuil et il n ' y a guere de jour dans le salon. Il faut que tu la tailles. Je ne saurai jamais pourquoi tu 1 ' a.s ache tee. Des jours se sont passes mais l ' on a laisse pousser toujours la haie, et Mme Smith se mettait en colere. Elle a fini par fulminer: Georges! tu dois couper la haie tout de suite, ou je serai furieuse. Pardonnez-moi, ma petite, (elle etait en fait tres grosse) mais, je crois que tu te faches parce que tu ne peux pas regarder les voisins, ce qui est ton passe - temps favori. Oh, Georges! vous etes une bete horrible! Je rentre a ma mere ! Elle m ' aime! La porte s ! est claquee avec vehemence et toute la maison a tremble dufonde- ment, pendant qu ' elle a descendu en courant les marches devant la maison. M. Smith a soupire et s ' est jete dans son fauteuil favori. C ' est de quoi se rejouir, a-t-il pense. Je me demande si elle sait actuelle- ment pourquoi je l ' ai achetee. Don Workman Second - Senior LA BELLE FRANCE Quand on a chass les Allemands de la France en 1944, une nation orgeuill- euse a fait sa renaissance. Pensant ' a sa longue histoire c o m m e une grande puissance, la France a ete resolue de prendre encore un role important en les affaires du monde. On a dit que chaque homme a deux patries, la sienne et la France. Vraiment cela propose le charme que les touristes trouvent en cette nation souriante. Par- tout on garde un souvenir de l ' histoire de la France. C est peut-etre une ancienne ville entouree de murs com me Carcassonne, ou c ' est peut-etre le vieil aqueduc romain pres de N mes avec des arches qui traversent une riviere depuis dix-huit siecles et qui dure toujours en sa simplicite majestueuse. Ou c est peut-etre les rues tordues de Rouen et les maisons qu a regarde le cortege qui a e m m e n e Jeanne d ' Arc a sa mort au pieu. La France possede, ainsi que les monuments du passe, dans le p a 1 a i s du Louvre et ailleurs, quelques-unes des plus pre cieuses collections des musees du monde. La France etait depuis si longtemps le centre europeen du savoir et des manieres que le franqais est devenu une seconde lan- gue aux personnes instruites et la langue de la diplomatic.

Lynne Kerr Third - Senior MES AVENTURES AVEC LES ANIMAUX L ' ete dernier, quand j ' enseignais en p 1 e i n air des classes d ' enfants dans l ' etude de la Bible, j ' ai eu plusieurs aventures inte ' re s sante s avic les animaux. Ma directrice m ' avait mise en garde au sujet des chiens et des chats. Certaine- ment, la premiere semaine, ily avait un chien et un chat qui se sont battus au milieu de ma classe. Quel desordre! A une autre classe, j ' avais comme rival un cheval qui donnait aux enfants des promenades gratis. Mais ce n ' etait pas trop mal. Dans une classe que j ' essayais d ' enseigner les enfants avait apporte des ex- cargots. Ils les ont fait courir de long en large sur leurs bras. Oh, je deteste les excargots! J ' en ai gran.d ' peur! Mais, j ' ai enseigne quand-meme. Un autre jour, les memes enfants ont apporte des vers. Ils font de bons accordeons, n ' est-ce pas? Oh, ces enfants! Une fois j ' ai enseigne une classe d ' enfants dans la c o u r d ' une f e r m e de visons.. Plusieurs des enfants y ont assiste. J ' avais pense qu ' ils s ' inte re ssaient a la lecon jusqu ' a ce que j ' aie trouve un jour, qu ' ils sont venus pour la plupart pour voir les visons.. Eh bien, J ' ai appris beaucoup au sujet des enfants et des animaux. Mary Rose First - Junior MON TOUR DE MONDE IDEAL Tout le monde aime voyager, mais la plupart du monde n ' a pas assez d ' ar- gent pour visiter tous les endroits fameux. Si je pouvais aller n ' importe ou dans le monde, je choisirais visiter un pays, une ville et deux monuments. Mon voyage imagine ' commencerait dans ma partie. Je visiterais toutes les grandes villes d ' abord, mais on ne peut pas oublier les petits villages historiques ou ont demeure et travaille les hommes les plus importants de notre epoque. La partie du voyage la plus encourageante serait de voir les pares tranquilles, les fleuves furieux et la campagne de notre pays de Canada. Le prochain endroit d ' interet serait la ville de Brasilia. On appelle cette ville ' Ville du Reve ' peut-etre parce qu ' elle a fait realiser le reve de tous les ha¬ bitants du Bresil. Les entrepreneurs et les pourvoyeurs n ' ont commence avec rien que le jungle, et en ont fait une ville ultra-moderne. Ca doit etre magnifique voir. La troisieme vue est le Taj Mahal aux Indes. Faite de marbre blanc pur, en- entouree d ' entage et de jardins. cette tombe montre a tout le monde l ' amour d ' un homme pour une femme. L ' autre monument que je voudrais voir, e ' est le maus- olee a Moscou, mais je ne sais pas si j ' oserai y entrer. Si non, je pourrais tou¬ jour s faire un tour de la ville meme. Un jour, j ' espere faire le tour du globe, et pendant que je fais cela, je verrai tous ces endroits. Marguerite Reidt 68 Second - Junior EN VOYAGE JEANNE - II ya a huit jours, nous avons quitte la maison dans le petit village ou nous demeurons. Maintenant le vaisseau s ' approche de la cote de la France. De- main matin nous debarquerons au Havre. MARIE - Vous rappelez-vous les heures de preparation pour ce voyage? - la confusion des derniers moments quand nous voulions jeter dans les malles toutes nos possessions, sans penser au peu d ' espace que nous avions, la grande hate du depart dans le taxi qui est arrive une demi-heure en retard, et la peur d ' avoir manque le train? JEANNE - Oui, mais enfin nous nous sommes trouvees dans le wagon du chemin de fer. Nous montions dans le wagon au moment ou le chef de train a crie En voiture! MARIE - Oui, je m en souviens. Et au bord du vaisseau je ne pouvais pas trouver mon passeport! JEANNE - Et le soir meme, vous l ' avez decouvert dans votre valise! MARIE — Mais regardez! Le vaisseau s ! arrete! Bientot les officiers du port viendront au bord et demain nous nous trouverons dans la ville du Havre. Nous sommes arnvees! Gwen Linton Third - Junior HISTOIRE DE NOEL C ' est une petite histoire au sujet de la preparation pour la fete de Noel. Samedi, mon pere et moi nous sommes alles ' ala campagne et avons abattu un grand arbre toujours vert. Mon pere a porte cet arbre la maison et l a place sur une estrade. Samedi soir toute la famille a aide a decorer notre arbre de Noel. Dans la cuisine ma mere s ' est occupee de la cuisson d ' un gateau pour le vingt-cinq decembre. Ce gateau etait grand, tres lourd, et couvert de noisettes. Lundi, je suis descendue en ville pour acheter des cadeaux pour mes amis. J ' ai achete de joli ruban, une paire de gants, des pastilles de chocolat et une echarpe. Maintenant Noel est ici. La neige tombe sur la terre et a etendu une couvert- ure blanche. Bientot le pere Noel arrivera et les enfants seront contents. Quand la Noel a passe et les lumieres de l ' arbre sont eteintes, tout le monde ✓ x monte l ' escalier et s ' endort, heureux mais epuise. Pauline Hodgetts First — Prize A la poste de radio, elle entendit la liberation de Paris! Le coeur battant vite, elle apprit les Nouvelles de la combativite Et ca l ' attrista quand le microphoniste dit Que beaucoup de soldats, jeunes et vieux, moururent pour la patrie. C ' etait inevitable, M pensait-elle, la liberation de Paris Mais, deraisonnablement les generaux deciderent De s ' opposer a l ' inevitable, malgre la tuerie De jeunes hommes, la chair a canon pour la patrie. II mourut, sans aucune raison, dans la liberation de Paris, Dans mon coeur, le coeur d ' une mere, je sais la verite , Jamais encore, mon cher fils, il ne rentrera a son garni, Parce qu ' il battit un tank avec un fusil, pour la patrie. Et le monde se rejouira a cause de la liberation de Paris Et dira que ma peine est un peu outree Et qu ' il n ' etait qu ' un soldat, battant pour la patrie, Mais une Allemande, est une mere aussi.

Geoff Kennedy UN LIBRO First Prize Un libro - un viaje a un pais distinto, o vacaciones con amigos - es como una casa conmuchos cuartos misteriosos y maravillosos. Un libro es un automovil que viaja para ver muchas cosas nuevas. Es una via a la inteligencia del pasado y del presente y una pue r ta a Dios y a sus lecciones. Es una puerta que le con¬ duce a usted asi mismo y a sus emociones. Un libro es un producto de la pluma y tambien un amigo y un profesor - si usted quiere descubrirlo. Kathleen Waldie UNA COMPOSICION DE ESPANOL Second Prize Un dia, ennuestra clase de espanol, nuestra profesora nos hizo escribir una composicion corta sobre un tema cualquiera. Podriamos e s c oge r cualquier tema. Por eso creia que seria muy facil. Pero cuando trate de empezar aescoger un tema, encontre que la inspira- cion no viene siempre cuando se quiere. Todos los temas en que pense fueron dificiles y no sabia las palabras necesarias . Buscaba un cuento que me inspirase y me ayudase. No podia hallar nada interesante. Ya estaba desesperado y cansado de trabajar y no tenia nada sobre mi papel. Que debiahacer? Necesitaba una composicion de espanol para recibir buenas notas y para seguir siendo amigo de la p r of e s o r a . Era mas dificil de lo que pensaba. De pronto me vino un pensamiento. Principie a escribir en seguida, sin- tie ' ndome feliz al fin. Esta composicion es lo que escribi. John Chislett ESCENA DE LA NOCHE Third Prize La luna que se oscurecio destras de las nubes se desposeo bastante tiempo para banar la tierra en una ardiente llovizna de luz amarilla y clara que echo sombras largas a traves del viejo c ami no. Entre las formas obscuras estaba una que parecio ya mas obscuras que las otras. Movia furtivamente por el soto. Hizo solamente dos veces mas un estruendo imperceptible; entonces habia largo silencio. De repente habia un gran movimiento de arbustos que rompio la hermo- sura de la noche. Y otra vez entonces habia silencio mientras la raposa volvio a su ventregada con su botin.

Pat Moore goes down to the gym to see who is there, while Pat McElroy takes her post behind the door. 8:40 Next to arrive is Carol Kerr wearing a new blouse which she proudly dis¬ plays to all. It has horses on it, naturally. 8:45 The town and country buses arrive at approximately the same time bring¬ ing most of the 9A patriots. As Marie walks in the door Karen rushes up to her with some very personal, but important, news. 73 8:57 Mrs. Meeking leads us in the Lord ' s Prayer. 9:00 Judy Dent and the Colonel ' ' (John Wakely) rush in. Late, as usual. 9:01 A gust of air fills the room and the announcements begin. 9:02 Dave Christie comes in with an admit slip which Mrs. Meeking has sent him for because of a forgotten note. As he puts the slip on the desk Ron Brideau asks if he got two - one for today and another for tomorrow. 9:05 The announcements are over and for the first two periods the class is split. Some to Art, some to Music, some to I n d u s t r i a 1 Arts, and some brave ones to Home Economics. Mrs. Martyn assigns us our duties and we rush back to the kitchen to don aprons and get breakfast under way. The first casuality occurs when Anita spills the juice, but with the help of a sponge it is easily rectified. The next voice is heard from a sewing machine where Nancy is calling toBrigette who is back at the ironing board pondering over a scorch on her apron. Over by the stove Susan is worrying about the burnt toast while Hazel is trying to b u 11 e r it before it gets cold. The warning bell goes and Wendy, Linda, and Carol M. begin to worry about the un¬ washed dishes. It looks as if the next class will get the honour. 10:15 Business Practice and the class is reunited. After asking David Cottrell a question, Mr. Trevor gets the usual I don ' t take Business Practice, sir. Jeoff , (J eff), or Ricky, who rarely have their homework done, are then asked. After his usual trip to his locker John Sneyd settles down to talk to Dick who sits across the room catching chalk in one hand and clicking his pen with the other. 10:53 Now bravely on to Algebra! Here we see Betty and Joan try to explain what they find so hard about algebraic equations while Bob Coward tells the frank truth about his interest! 11:28 Science! Out comes the gum, candy, and this afternoon 1 s homework. Here Bob Davis, Chris, Ken, and Ron Wakely join together to create some dev¬ ilment. Up at the front we see Dianne arguing with Mr. Scott about a def¬ inition while Peggy gets her say in it. 12:00 Lunch at last! 1:15 Now on to francais. Carol McCaw, a favourite of all the teachers, really shines in French while Wayne tries to figure out some new way to antag¬ onize the teacher. 1:50 Geography. Here Gayle tries, and most of the time is successful, while John Mowat gives us a first hand account of England. 2:24 English. Cheryl and Hazel have kept up an interest in this subject but I ' m afraid I can ' t say the same for Norman and Rodger. It is a good thing Mrs. Meeking has patience for the way Gary slaughters the English language. 2:57 History. Here Judy keeps the class going with the help of Penny who really has looked at her history. 3:38 Back to 101 for announcements. 3:45 Locker doors slam and goodbyes are exchanged.

These are noted for their wavy hair, Byers, Nichols and Kelly too. Some are noted for chewing gum, Harding, Lenore, Koehler Sandy Foote Margaret and Moore Nancy. Joanne and Sheila are quiet girls. And Wendy Francey is noted for her curls. Paeden, Douglas, Greenaway are fellers, They think they are the class lady-killers. Austin and Carr are the tall ones, Tracy, Stapleton, Sargent are the small ones. John Currier and Robert Lee could not be called studious, Joan, Helen, Ruth are considered beatious. 75 Last but not least Delaney, Elliot, Etcher, Foote, Jarvis, Wheeler and Roy, Complete the list of our bundle of joy.

Among 9C s activities is the launching of guided missies by Jim Friar and his associates Dennis Dennee, Bob Patterson, Richard Schoon, Neil Fulford, Wayne Elliot, Glen Williams, Don Oliver, Mike Wilton, and Charlie Henderson. Even the intrepid Mr. Trevor has been known to launch a few. The talkative ladies in training — be a second Tokyo Rose are Donna Paul, Donna Farrel, Bonnie Soble, Melodie Giddings, Pat Lennon and Joy-Ann Russel who also gathers information from the Dramatic Society. One of the top scientists, Sharon Trew keeps busy on who knows what, while David Butters spies on the school through the Students Council. On the outside Ann Harness, Barbara Lowry, Sharon Clarke, Donna Scott, Marilyn Clark and Virginia Young seem quiet and harmless but I fear they may be planning a rev¬ olution. Barbara Goheen and Doris Hrynuika are ready to sing for the benefit of the Glee Club. Philp Strong and Ian Keyes represent Naval intelligence . Margaret Brookings and Sharon McBride keep up the morale of the class with their giggling . The Mata Haris in the group are Shirley Doughty, Marie Burns, Judy Wall and Sharon Cann. David Mills, Bruce Donnelly, Gordon Clarke, Bob Osland and Reg Worr seem to find it hard to decide whether to join the 9C spy ring or to be loyal to Port Hope High.

I ' d like now to introduce you to my fellow cell mates, starting with the most jovial one — and pro of 9D - ! Wayne Rowden - The daily visitor to the warden ' s office. Ron Babbitt - We should buy him a swivel chair so he won ' t wear out his pants. Joan Dilworth - Our favourite artist (what a laugh). Robert Perry - Either wear slippers or keep your feet off the desk. Gail Scott - (Our A. A. rep.) FAVOURITE WORDS I heard a good joke last night. Kathy Henderson — Maybe if we got her a microphone we could hear at the back. Annemieke Derkx - Our future actress, she did very well on play night. Denese Green - Dramatic Society member. Henry Walsh - The ghost of the class, should buy a sign Gone Fishing. Michael Doody - 210 ' s pet eh! Michael? Suzanne Egas - Her favourite room! Home Ec? Gloria Watson - Who got me into writing this up anyway. (Thanks kids!) Erwin Lange - The bookworm and life saver of English class. Marg Berry - (Students ' Council Rep.) - sure is a giggler. Pat Huffman - WOW! all you can say is She ' s the life of our class. Jane Douglas — Poor Jane got moved, right up to the front of the class. Doug Chatteron - The newcomer, is an expert on cow calls as he moos his French. Leon Barkwell - Add a little salt to those nails for taste. Gail Joice - I haven ' t found out her secret heart-throb. Julie Dundas - The quiet little country girl. Edward Sangster — The lady killer of P.H.H.S. Don Grimshaw - When did you get your last perm or is it nightly pin-up? Linda Hatherly - Who do you think you are, a road block? Patsy Hughey - And to think we have Baby Hewey in our class. Katherine McHolm - Our athletic star in basketball. Paul Austin - The girl ' s football hero. Robert Cottrell - The brain of 9D. Ricky Austin - Our Boy ' s A. A. Rep. Pat Nixon - He is good in French and a born artist. Butch Harrington - Poor boy got into the wrong crowd. Bruce Burley - A brave member of the school band. Janice Bristow - She gets stuck with the desk pad. Jim Hatherly - One in a million. Roger Wigmore — Here today, gone tomorrow. Cheryl Anne McBride - Pretty good in English, also wants to be a teacher! Glen Clarke - Our next Einstein. 78 Through the day we have harrowing experiences with the comics of our room, but what s the room without these kids. As the day draws to a close at the prison, we return to our home rooms and after the dull announcements we lug our ball and chain to our lockers and out into the long awaited streets.

For extra energy in the coming classes, Larry always has a bottle of pop before announcements, while Ruth and Donna go to Mr. Werner ' s room, - Donna with the music and Ruth with the instrument. Then, just as the bell goes, Pat rushe s in. Well - almost late this time. We manage to reach our first class without any serious mishaps, except poss¬ ibly Werner or Alan are nabbed by a teacher for speeding. When the teacher asks for the desk pad, Saundra insists that it is on the desk, and then she realizes it is on her own. The class is now peacefully at work, when we hear Fred say Margaret, put your shoes on . Margaret our Girls A. A. Rep. , has slipped her shoes off again. French is a class everyone except Mrs. Meeking enjoys. This is the time for Tom and Ken to get rid of their excess energy and throw paper airplanes. These antics are greeted by a large smile from Bob Trew, and a scowl from the teacher. When Heather, our Students ' Council Rep. , has to go to play practice, all eyes watch her with envy as she leaves. Then, about 11:15 if you listen very closely you can hear Christine ' s stomach growl, and it ' s plain to see who will be near the first of the luncheon stampede. After lunch we have a practice for the May Musicale competitions. Six boys — Fred, Bob Brown, Herman, Ricky, Brian and Gordon don their grass skirts and practice their hula-dance, while the girls sing an Hawiian tune. While Judy and Barby make lais, Norma and Suzanne give much needed instruction to everyone. Now everyone is hard at work again - at least until Cameron, a small boy with a large thirst, interrupts us to get his ump-teenth drink of water that day. Sharon and Gwen use every spare moment telling fortunes for each other, and Margaret Byers draws pictures when she can get away with it. During the last period, Suzanne cheerfully leaves us to play basketball, and Peter recalls days last fall when he left to play football. At the end of classes, Susan, with her ten ton brief case, Donna Smith who, unlike everyone else in the class, does not talk, and Grace, who tells of what happened on her way to school, plod down the hall to the home room. After announcements, at which time I fear for the safety of Jim who is so small, everyone rushes to their lockers, or e 1 s e they wander slowly to tenth periods.

Now don t mistake me, she isn ' t writing she is squirting the ink at Klaas. 9:08 Cathy Pomeroy, Kathryn Dolley and Bob Fitzsimmons are busy trying to find out which blackboard brush will go up the ledge the fastest. 9:09 Linda Girvan and Linda Julian are having a conference. They try to tell us it ' s about the construction of a Latin sentence. 9:10 Judy, Lauraine and Wendy are busy discussing the football game they are going to cheer on Friday. 81 9:12 Sharon has asked if she may be excused to get her notebook. 9:15 Lynn, Anita and Kathryn Langridge are in gales of laughter over a joke which Susan has told. 9:20 Sharon has just returned and Betty is excused to get her book. 9:22 Joan is sent to the board to write out last night s homework and is frantic¬ ally signaling Reet to see if what she has written is correct. 9:25 Mrs. Roberts is about to give up trying to make he r s e If heard over the continual din. 9:27 David Black, Ralph and Robert Keyes are sitting in the corner mapping out plays for their next football game, perhaps hoping that they will win. 9:29 Glenda and Mary have been called to the board to do some Latin sentences. They are both trying unsuccessfully to copy each others work. 9:31 Marilyn Austin and Irene B e nn are at it again. They still pass notes in school. 9:33 Valorie seems to be the only studious person in the class. She is busy doing her homework, last night s that is. 9:35 Carolyn and Johanna have just finished a long discussion. About Dramatic Club. 9:37 Everyone has their books packed and is ready to leave. Then the count¬ down starts 4-3-2-1, there goes the bell and 10A. 9:39 As the dust settles the last of 10A can be seen heading for Mathematics and Mr. Mumby.

The students in our class chose a variety of options. We elected John F. (Funnel), whose comical p o e m s and stories are read in English classes, as our Student Council representative. Millie M. is our Blue N White representative this year. Robert B. (Red) is the Boy ' s A. A. representative, and Nellie U. upholds the honour of being the Girl ' s A. A. representative and Dramatic Society representative. Carol Thorndyke is our Music Council represen¬ tative . We enjoy Janice, one of our excellent skaters, doing her famous curtsey. Joan B. is another of lOB ' s famous figure skaters. We also have Peggy W.. and Sandra P. for their fame in skating (when they are on their feet). Ron J. is the boy who always misplaces his English homework or he just couldn ' t have done that question . Max L. , the tallest member of our class, is the all-subject brain. Rhonda A. is the girl who does her homework faithfully every night, eh Rhonda ? I guess Ray S. has finally caught up in his geography notes. Bruce M. , a musical member of our class, can always answer any question asked him (in school I mean). Wayne O. (the shortest member of our class), Mike S. and Dave P. do their homework regularly and are good students. Carol T. and Beverly H. plan to be interior decorators and set up their own company. We know Ann R. will succeed in passing this year. Gordon and Garry are two brothers who always seem to be getting called the other ' s name. Doug S. should put on his glasses without being reminded by the teachers. Patsy P. (pee-wee) doesn ' t fall asleep in math any more. Joanne C. , who hurt her foot in a basketball game, is our sports enthusiast. When a group of boys meet and the topic is pretty girls you can be sure Ray Mills and Ray McCool are in the group. Karen C. , Janice J. , and Sharron M. never manage to arrive on time after recess. John D. , and Bud E. , Ross M. , and Don B. , are four of the six boys attempt¬ ing Latin and they seem to thoroughly enjoy the class. Our first form party was a hay ride after which we went toSharron M. ' s home for entertainment. This party was a huge success and was enjoyed by all. And last, but not least, we must mention our home room teacher, Mrs. Ford, who is patiently trying to help us succeed in passing to grade eleven.

What a journey it has been! Our home room pilot, Mr. Rose, yelled at us and got angry but still drove that plane smoo¬ thly to its destination. Our stewardesses, Judy, Janice, and Jean (the three J ' s) were always help¬ ing in each class to make the ride more enjoyable especially in English (by getting Mr. Werner angry). The two Kathies (Hass and Lewis) helped too, I might add. When we stopped at the gym, the plane came in smoothly because our two Pauls (Terbenche and Plousos) helped direct it to a safe landing by winning half our points on field day. We shouldn ' t forget to mention the other half won by our very athletic girl, Sylvia, who can throw a baseball more than 144 feet. Pretty good, eh? Well, our journey must go on to the next stop - the football field where we see Ricky and Arden working out for our school team. Our business man of this trip is Gerry. He is always taking off on trips to the Blue ' n White Executive meets. Our plane crew officers are Bud, Don, Paul Taylor, and the two Bobs (Barrie and Elliott). Bud and Don are quite the guys in geography, a subject which is very important to any plane crew. Paul and the two Bobs like French! ! (I think). 84 The trip continues to Science class where Tom and John are the best of friends on one side of the plane and George, Leo, David, and Peter are chums on the other side, but when they make the rest of the class laugh, they are on the wrong side of Mr. Rose. Our second head pilot is John who is our head-mathematician. Well, that ' s the journey of the year 1960-61 of our form 10C.

Tea! or Milk! which we have heard about 500 times this year. 11:12 Wayne Throop vainly tries to communicate with Gloria Austin but is interr¬ upted as someone throws another piece of rubbish in the large tuba on top of the cupboards. 11:13 The merry group of Allchin, Ferguson, Jiggins and Foster are engaged in top secret talks (namely who they ' ve been out with lately) when Ted Wall starts to sing HDD ' s anthem, Chain Gang . 11:14 Sandra Wilby attempts to say thatlOD girls make the best food ' inHome Ec. which brings roars of laughter and witty comments from the boys. 11:16 Doug Reed tries to hit with a hunk of eraser, a cymbol in the music’ cup¬ board. 11:20 Elaine Scott is halted from doing geometry instead of literature by Mr. Werner ' s Do you want a detention , look. 11:21 Shirley Jones and Deanna Rose attempt to talk across the vast expanse to two rows when they are brought back to reality as Mr. Werner assigns the homework. 11:24 Jean Coupland and Lynne McEvilla start to talk but are silenced as Mr. W erner comes around to see how much work (ha! ha!) we ' ve done this period. 11:25 Terry Cleary and Ed Coull already have their books and notes packed up in readiness for a hurried exit. 11:26 The bell goes, and as we start our mad rush for freedom we are told by Mr. Werner (with tears in his eyes) that we have a double period. Well! as Napoleon said at Waterloo You can ' t win them all. I0E GAIL CLAYTON DORIS CLYSDALE PAT CRAWFORD RON DINNER ANITA DOODY DON GOLDEN BARB HENDERSON EUDORA HIGHFIELD SHIRLEY JAMES WAYNE JOICE CHERRIE LLOYD JOHN McELROY MARIE MERCER JENNIFER MILLER 86 This year perhaps may be the finest hour of all lOE ' s in the past and those in the future. We have left our mark on the hearts of the teachers as studious, sin¬ cere and highly intellectual???? Studiousness is found in the forms of Jennifer and Susan Miller who always had their homework done; sincerity in Joanne Neck when she signed notes ’’Sincerely Joanne as she passed them to Don Boughen in Science classes. Intellect? Well, Mrs. Anderson, our home room teacher, should take the honour . She made what might have been a boring Lit. class into a very pleasurable discussion. Pat, Shirley and Dianne were separated in English classes at the beginning of the year for reasons pertaining to the peace and quiet of the class. Now they take a fiendish delight in annoying Mrs. Anderson by sending hand signals. Bill Ter- benche liked French so much that some week nights one could find him in 213 en¬ thusiastically writing out previous homework three times on the board. Yvonne and Marie, two Spanish students, may often be heard boasting of what wonderful marks they got in their Spanish and couldn’t understand why the other subjects on their curriculum didn ' t rate the same. Eudora and Gail, two inseparables, would be caught pas sing innocent little remarks for which they would be unjustly persecuted while Anita, Barbara, Verna and Nelda, three favourites of Mr. Hass, taunted mercilessly from the back of the room. Cherrie and Bob take the position of being the two most unusual people in the school. Cherrie for being the only person in the school with green hair and Bob for the only person with a barbecued leg. Wayne Tippet once tried to outstare Mrs. Ford but the iron will of our Geog¬ raphy teacher and the vague snickerings of Ron and Don Golden made Wayne break down quickly, John McElroy still can ' t figure out why all three of them should get a detention. Doris, Pat Busby and Shirley Clarke suggested that the girls Home Economics class should invite the boys from Industrial Arts but only under strong protests from Roy Austin and Wayne Joiceand the majority of the male population - the idea was abolished for obvious reasons. And with these final words the curtain falls bringing to a close the finest year the students of 10E have ever had and could ever hope to have.

Hammond. Time: Beginning of school season, September. Year: 1960-61. So with fame to live up to and goals to reach, we started the year by electing Dwight Elliott for Students ' Council Rep. (his favourites being red carnations and red-headed girls), Jim Robinson (who secretely likes weight-lifting) as Boys A. A. Rep. and of course Sue Armstrong as Girls A. A. Rep. , who without much effort scored most of the points in the intramural volleyball and basketball games. Donna Henderson, with her aim of becoming a writer sometime in the future, devotes her services to the Dramatic Society, Doreen Wladyka, besides being top in the class, has her hand in almost every school organization. A petite pupil of our class, Marlene Retallick, is the Form News editor of the Blue ' n White. Pau l Crowhurst, a Corporal in the Cadet Corps, tied as Junior Boys ' Champion for track and field. He, another V.I.P. in 11 A, belongs to the Bantam Basketball Team and also is photographer for the Blue ' n White. Next we go to some of the girls of our industrious class who bravely joined the basketball team of P.H.H.S. The se are Connie Eley, (who incidentally likes to sew), Carol-Sue Babbitt, Gwen Woolacott (at present she has accomplished 484 points for her athletic pin), Sue Armstrong, Marilyn Osland, Sandra Berry, who hails from Cobourg, and finally Little Miss Bari Hills (Twink) as team manager. No wonder the teams had so many wins. Ooops! We nearly forgot Lynne Joey Roberts the star player of the girls Junior Volleyball team. Then we see the two W ' s. Ian Watkins (reckle ss driver of the century) andBill Windross who follows along in his tracks. A day has not passed if Angie Bathgate and Beth Everson have not been asked a question in the brain-torturing study of Geometry. As usual we see Susan Thick- son and Gloria Quantrill whispering mysterious secrets, writing notes and popping pens. Another question which arises - where do Karen Carruthers, Ellen Aiken and Mary Bevan disappear at noon? 88 To spark our enthusiasm, 11A planned a hair-raising hay ride party which turned out to be a ride filled with lumps, bumps and screams provided by Miss Wladyka. I sure hope Carol-Ann Wood and Carol Gay Anderson learned a lesson in backseat driving. After the excitement wore away it was back to the grind. But soon Loretta McElroy, French Club member, Donna Nixon, Dianne Lockington and Judy Bamsey sparkled up Mr. Walker f s English class by their bright answers. Just as the quiet was settling around us the Big Blow Up occured in Mr. Soctt s room when the gas from a bunsen burner exploded, ruining one pair of nylons; two slips, a skirt and last, but not least, a school desk. To add to the damages, the blast scared C.S.B. and made Denise Doody s c r e a m , which brought a crowd of teachers a-runnin 1 . Our own Ted Hunt leaves us in doubt whether he will be a scientist or an as¬ tronaut. Also we wonder who that certain someone is who stands around Myrna Andrus locker. Frits Theysmeyer, the seventh male of our class, besides being a whizz at geometry and physics, is the speedy guard on the Junior Basketball Team. Last but not least is Lydia Kalisz, the author of this conglomeration of facts and fig¬ ures, who always lends a helping hand - Author Unknown. This concludes the thirty-five of our class, except for Norman Budge, who due to circumstances beyond our control, is no longer with us. So with some misgivings concerning our equilibrium and problems to be dealt with, and happy moments to remember, I say so long.

Preston and Bonnie were running. After our v o t i n g episode and our revoting Preston became our rep. Bonnie, however has shown how busy a person can be. She is a cheerleader, orchestra and glee c l.ub member, and secretary of the Music Council plus other outside interests. Sue Finnie and Elaine are also fellow cheerleaders and orchestra members. Peter surprised us one day by announcing he was President of the Music Council but Larry really amazed us when he threw the bombshell that he was vice-president. Alan Griffeth is our Dramatic Society rep. and we are sure he s representing us well. Although Mr. Rose is utterly discouraged by our marks in Physics perhaps by now we are improving. They say practice makes perfect and Mr. Rose believes in that. We also have all in our room Les, Richard, and, previously mentioned, Peter who are all members of the favulous Montereys, all in 1 IB; wish you the best of luck. Peter T. has a marvelous way of getting through Latin period, that is, when he s there. Duke helped our class spirit when he came out i n t e r m e d i a t e champion on field day after b r e ak i n g several records. Sauly is another a t h 1 e t e and, as he proved last year, a high scoring basketball player. JimGrimshaw was the boy who got our first form party of the year on its feet, thanks a lot Jim. You deserve a great deal of acclaim. Sue Kershaw, although she was a favourite of us all, had to leave her small town friends for the big city of Toronto but we know with her happy outlook she ll make many new friends. Helen and Jean helped out with our volleyball team when we most needed them. Gwen, Hennie and Carol worry Mr. Rose with their few words to Dave, Jim, and Larry but they really mean no harm. Kathy, Elizabeth, and Doris seem to have a lot of fun in English class as Mrs. Anderson is always after them to be quiet. Sauly and Ricky also have a habit of speaking up when not spoken to and not speaking when addressed which is much to their disadvantage. Ron Rowe is very quiet and well liked by the class. Pearl and Mary are the chief r e c e i v e r s of Mr. Hass s geometry problems and must always be on their toes. Doug, Wendy, Sandra and Sharon all contribute to the general atmosphere of 11B; of course I can’t tell the nature of that atmosphere. We had one newcomer to our class this year, Bryan Duchesne, and he immediately fitted into our class. Ray has his head in the stars most of the time and certainly learns a lot from it. Gerald overworks his powers sometimes and this he finds is not to his pleas¬ ure . Ray W. is one of the cadets who won an a w a r d at the . 303 Strathcona Rifle Match in Barryfield, Ont. P. Low,makes good time of his spares playing cribbage in 101. In closing I mustn ' t forget to say a few words to Mr. Scott. After reading this, sir, we ' re sure your ideals for your class will be raised.

Maybe a hair dresser With Carol Thompson as helper in view. Sharon Clarke and Gloria Kelly May decide to be models you ' ll see, Imagine the sales they would make I ' m sure you ' ll all agree. Reta Mae Harcourt may be an air hostess, An artist Evelyn Huggins will be; While Gwen Yeo may be a music teacher, And will charge a reasonable fee.

Gary Clarke is the serious type - He may be a doctor, who knows? While Roger Harness will be interested in Radar He ' s happy where ever he goes. Gary Meadows may be a lawyer, And would make a good one too. Bob Smith may be a T. V. announcer; He may have that in view - Donald Moore does not need to worry - He was head of the class. While lots of us worked much harder - And were lucky to make a pass . Donald Ramsey should be an entertainer - He should really be a star - And Richard Stebbing could be a partner, Barry Skinner and Dave Douglas - Are Sea Cadets right now, We’ll watch their future with interest — Phil Wakely is interested in sports, Any kind at all. David Watts will take his car, And be there at any call. Graham Williams will play his guitar, And help pass many hours away. While Ron Ashby will be wondering - What will come his way.

This soiree is just beginning and our early arrivals are the athletes, mainly Ann Kelly, Ron Cameron, Leonard (Skip) Kemlo, Pat (alias Harry) Harris, our senior girls ' field day cham¬ pion. Possibly this explains their conservative attire of gym outfits and running shoes. The choo choo train has just this moment pulled up from Joan Marvin ' s form party-Aboard this express alight all the well-known celebrities including dark glasses and all. The first star is Ken Hancock, our Students ' Council pres¬ ident, followed by Karen McEwen, our rep. for this organization; Gwen Linton, Blue ' N White executive, Nancy Wakely, Blue ' N White representative, Joan Marvin, G.A.A. rep., Grant Gifford, B.A.A. rep. and gymnastics leader, and Pauline Hodgetts our Dramatic Society representative. Our chemistry gang have just entered and the leader of the pack is Doug Vanhinsburg, still wondering what the effect of carbon dioxide on limewater is. Here come his trusty followers with a list of crimes. Reading them over, we ask ourselves why Doug McCool likes to melt his extra change, why Nyle James puts tacks on Pat H. ' s stool and how Lealand Hill can possibly afford to p a y for 3 test-tubes and a funnel, dropped accidentally in the sink. Hark a noise! Ah, here come the merry minstrels for our gay party. Geoff Kennedy and Roger Nainby on clarinets (two different clar¬ inets of course), Carolyn Brown and Dale H o s k i n with their violins , Harold Tharme and his trusty guitar, Wayne Maybee with his flute, and Jim Ball playing the piano. We almost have our own combo. As I gaze over the crowd of party- 93 goers, I see three boys that I must have missed when they arrived, Alan Bigelow, who has a wonderful flair for witting compositions, Bruce Black a very quiet boy and John Bates, 12A ' s all-around Canadian boy. I do b e 1 i e v e all our guests are present. No, here are some late a r r i v a 1 s , Shirley Scott, Donna Deremo, and Marion Carruthe rs who came to us from 12B. Its loss is our gain. F ollowing these three girls are 5 others — Antoinette (Tony) and Lorraine Huard those two sisters who never cease to confuse the teachers. 12A ' s reliable chatter-box ; Maxine Bull arrives on the scene followed by a direct contrast of two quiet jeunes filles called Betty Remsik and Ann Ksenych, followed by our new student, George Smith. Let ' s see, I think we have all the ingredients for a terrific party. Ah, here comes Sandy J. with a list of games a mile long. What kind of games are played at Sandy s parties which make her guests scream and cry? I recognize Sandy ' s pal beside her. It ' s the slow poke of all slow pokes, Peter Eagan carrying his favorite hobby, FOOD. Our party is now complete and ready to commence as our home room teacher and His tory expert, Miss Rigsby, Arrives. Nancy Wakely. I2B LARRY ASHBY ELIZABETH BROWN JOHN BURCH MR.

As our studies roared into high gear most of us were sur¬ prised to find that we had not only many wonderful (and human) teachers, but also a few of our former partners-in-studies. All of these people contributed to form what we think of as the best class in the school. At the beginning of the year we had 44 members, surely a record, but the teachers found the number too great to cope with so we lost 4 to our favorite rival. Of course we had many active members left in our class: Gloria McDowell and Grace Graham on the school Volleyball team; Rick Thomas our B.A. A. rep. (oft to be found in the coat check); Gloria McDowell, our G.A.A. rep and Blue ' N White rep. ; Carol Robinson, our D r a m a t i c Society rep. ; Elizabeth Brown, our Students Council rep. . Tiko Tada was the G.A.A. rep but because of illness was forced to excuse herself from this duty. We are all proud of our Mathematician, Ralph 100 Pomeroy, and in the same category Barb Dale, who was able to ob¬ tain the highest per cent in a repeated subject and thus no longer had to take extra classes. Speaking of ' ’extra 11 classes, several of our Latin scholars seem to re¬ gard that subject as an extra item on someone ' s curriculum but not theirs. John Burch and Mike C. persevere at the front of the room while Bill G. , Jim D. , Ray E. , Peter Lowes, Glenn T. and Graham P. have other interests at the back of 203. We mustn ' t forget our Blue ' N White executive members: Marguerite R., Editor-in-Chief, Kathie Waldie, Literary Convenor, Ruth Ann Richardson, Circulation Manager, and Sports Editor Cathy Raynor. Along with the inevitable comedians we have some sane membe r s who have that much-to-be-desired virtue of mindingtheirownbusiness: Larry A. , Grace G. , Linda McC. Carolyn M. and John Wickett (whose mind was not always in 12B but where ?) A few more of our students along with Elaine C., Sam Sambo Hutnyk, Wayne Vaughn Monroe and Johnny T. helped us to get the very high total of points on Field Day. Seriously though, we did manage to hold the third place standing. Not bad. Eh? Would anyone like to join the Nibblers ' Club in Home Ec? For further in¬ formation contact the presidents themselves or write to 12B in care of Cathy R., Betty K. , and Rpsemary W. By the way, girls, how were those sandwiches? Chemistry turned out to be the biggest bang on our curriculum. We boast of three noted chemists: Jim Scooter Egan, Ted a la petite car Knight and J. L. Bart Ton. The latter enjoys the exalted position of sitting beside a certain mad chemist. Well, Bart, how much did it cost to bribe the teacher? During the year we had 2 form parties which we shared with our sister form. Through mutual agreement 12AB were friends this year and shared the fun. Thr¬ ough sharing we all received a little extra. Who can forget the get acquainted party at Joan Marvin ' s - the transport, choo choo , spin the - . To celebrate the end of Christmas exams we let our hair down in John Chislett ' s rec room. We spent part of the evening listening to that - record. (Asuitable adj. escapes me). 95 Most of our class went to see My Fair Lady” to soak up some culture. Fur¬ ther cultural experience was obtained at the Nutcracker Suite Ballet. In spite of the cultural experience we enjoyed ourselves immensely. We mustn ' t forget our home room teacher Mr. Hass who patiently put up with our idiosyncracies all year. We hope that he won’t be too glad to see us go. Who knows, we may be back to see him next year, all carrying English. So, as we launch into another year of school, the last we hope, we salute our wonderfully patient teachers who have faithfully herded us all year, and, like us, are looking forward to a summer vacation and a peaceful, much needed rest.

He came from the town of a mining boom We know he ' d rather return where he came For there he has a well known fame. We know we get on his nerves all day, Especially Susy and Marlene, How often we listened and heard Betty say, Oh Sir, I ' m just on lesson nineteen. Tena, a silly, in bookkeeping that is, Wishes she could be like Dorothy the whiz. While in Mr. McLean ' s penmanship class, Bonnie i§ the fair little lass. Now, on to Shorthand, the class we hate, And no one knows why we are always late. Mary ' s the brain, and none of us know why Because it ' s lucky if we even get by. Laraine loves English, and sometimes wishes, That she ' d be that good in Office Practice, Jack, the only male member of our class Hopes to get by with more than a pass. Barb, had never taken typing before, But on she goes to try some more. There goes Johanna, a tall young girl, And beside her is our pretty young Pearl. Now, on to Math which Joan D. enjoys, And Mr. Trevor yells, Girls stop that noise. Next is Law, and Joan M. ' s crack Sir, when will we get the test papers back? Dianna says she knows all her words, But she sometimes gets mixed in those nouns and verbs. While down at the back Marie is making Wishes and plans for doing some baking. Judy is quiet but is always thinking What can I do to catch up in my typing. Now on to P.T. and here ' s Heather, no other, And Mrs. Fitzgibbon, with a sigh says, Oh brother. That ' s all we can say for 12C right now But in June we all hope to be taking our bow And have jobs in offices, schools or in banks With this we will close, and to P.H.H.S. we all say thanks. Heather Dawes 97 I3A This is our class; we ' re 13A As a rule we ' re very gay Though homework sometimes gets us down Through our spares we often clown. Sue is our only mathematician She dreams of being a great technician, But her n parley-vous is quite good, too, And the class would be dead without our Sue. Jane Bird is good at languages On Bronte and Horace ' she writes pages. In Zoo she disects things apart While ducking John ' s cupid dart. Lynne Kerr asserts her most imperatives And we know she writes some narratives. Of the Dramatic Society she is President And in 13A she ' s a welcome resident. Next there is Paul, a Knight by name We often see him round with Jane. He ' s busy at maths and sciences too, And always up to something new. Merry Mary, must not tarry, How does your Chemistry go; With golden pin of Blue ' n White, And French Club students in a row. Ken Menzies was the King of Hearts, He rules the Boy ' s A. A. In every class he takes his part, But hopes to leave some day. Marylyn Mitchell is a wonderful girl, A lot of lads would give her a whirl. In English no one need her quell, All of the class do now wish her well. Dorothy relaxes with her violin, And many square dances she takes in. In class you could not tell she ' s there But in her homework she takes every care. Janie Brickman, who sure can sing, Goes about on a merry fling Of Chemistry, Botany, Trig and such, And all kinds of fun she likes very much. Linda came back with lots of pep And soon became our A. A. rep. Not by her own will, you see, But ' cause of her personality! John Crow hurst is an able lad, He ' s thinking all the while, But more than that we admire him for His gorgeous Colgate smile! Vern Huffman is of noble wit, But strives in English class to sit Aloof from all his merry mates To dream about his coming dates. Paul McCreery, our faithful Q.M. Fits army cadets in S. L. or M. A rifle team member, (he ' s quite a good shot) In all of his classes, he ' s right there with his books open. We have a Pemberton, her name is Jean, Working in the library she ' s always seen. She ' s very good in Spanish and Zoo, And takes time out for dancing, too. Mary Lou ' s a dear But we don ' t often have her here. In Botany she knows her flowers And at her homework she works for hours. Mary Rose, a McMaster fan, Has as her goal, this one plan To persuade the rest of 1 3A To join her as she makes her way. John Stassen, our historian Is certainly no Kennedy fan. He likes fresh air to help him think But in Chemistry he helps make a s tink. 98 Jane Wilson, a little brown-eyed lass, One of the prettiest in our class Wants us to think she cannot spell But the statistics show, she does very well. Much like The Texan , a rifle shot bold That s our Leigh, so we’ve been told. Shoulders that rifle, cocks that gun, Then you should see all the other guys run Don Workman, ve know, is quite fond of Horace, And no class with Don ever will bore us. Spares in Spanish he always enjoys But Miss Foy says he makes too much noise. 13A s a form that s lots of fun And besides we get things done. We enjoy Thirteen - we really love it But in June we hope to leave it. Mary Rose I3B The Blue ' n White now presents This is Your Life . As we walk down the corridors of P.H.H.S. we see many notorious classes; but tonight this is your life 13B! And now here is a voice from your lively life - Anything for a laugh. Yes, of course, it ! s one of your red-heads and the vice-president of the students council Bill Skitch. Who can this be yelling Tiger-Hurray - obviously it s the girl s basketball team, Marie, Barb, Jackie (who is also the president of the G.A.A. and member of the Senior Girls Basketball Team), Elaine, Roberta and Joan (red shorts and all). And now here is a voice I m sure you ll never forget It only takes me ten or fifteen minutes, Sir. Who else but Noel. Following Noel are Jack and Jim still debating who is B.A.A. representative. And with them is your favourite home room teacher and proud new father repeat¬ ing his profound statement that Catherine is a girl and Heathcliff a boy. Here comes Bonnie, your Drama Society representative and Sally, your se¬ cond red-head and ex-leader of the cheerleaders. Sally is telling Bonnie that she will soon be finished reading Wuthering Heights . This is a great surprise. Here are Keith Longyear and John Record, your honorary members (they just couldn t bear to be parted from good old grade twelve any longer). They are being escorted in by Bill White, Gordon, and Paul Sneyd. And there bringing up the rear is John Crawford with an admit slip in his hand. Well, 13B, will you ever forget the year you spent with these people — the form party with 13A where Jack and one of the kidnappers played with the ouija board, the amusing fellow outside the English class, and the scented concoctions in the Chemistry Lab. Yes 13B ; they were all part of your life.
