PETE WHITTINGTON Pete is the only student in the new Ryerson course to come from O.C.V.I. He tries to keep up with his studies but many times he tries in vain.

Mr. Palmer: We now come to the reign of the Tudors. What do you say about these kings, Reg? Reg: (sleepily) You win. Jacks for openers. Wright: (on the phone) I ' d swim the widest ocean, climb over the highest mountain, and ride on the fastest breeze to get to you. My love is undying. Girl: (big sigh) Wright: By the way, I ' ll be over Saturday night if it doesn ' t rain. 23

RICHARD GREENING Richard Greening was born on the southern side of Hadrians Wall. His unruly acts of bush- whacking led to his deportation to Canada. Here he attended many fine institutions of learn- ing, the latest being M. C.V.I, where he is developing a brill- iant intellect in preparation for the world ahead. JOHN EDWARD F. HODGSON Many moons ago John Edward F. Hodgson started his high school career at that foreign institute of learning, Donevan. He has passed every year so far but his future is doubtful.
