. Q K i How does one summarize a year of school. For the most part, everything one learns in class is forgotten at the end of the year Cand in many cases the next dayj. Often one can be caught in a dull routine or rut. It is natural for most people to look at their watch six or seven times per periodg but there is always a feeling as one graduates from grade to grade, one has left something behind one can never find again. The daily ritual of the class of l2F is made bearable by its humour and its character. This class is a collection of people who think and act very differently yet all have something in common. We have individuals that always stick in the back of our minds. One thinks of De Haas twinkling, Lawes flexing, Keresteci talking When we look back on our life at St. George's that is what we will remember Ungers monsieuring, Bechard social committeeing, Morrison babbling Twelve - .A 'Qzziii 1 TN Q .

Twelve - Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousnessg thou hast enlarged me when I was in distressg have mercy upon me, and hear my prayer, Fr. Scott stated. It was Friday, and I had just been through a week of studying words that I had to know for English. They kept on going through my braing mundane, munificent, criterion, credible, exigeous, and others. I was in chapel and still could hear Fr. Scott. O ye sons of men, how long will ye turn my glory into shame? How long will ye love vanity, and seek after leading Selah? 5 I x ..i-. .4 . . V ... f sk S I x Q A TYPICAL FRIDAY I tried to listen, but I had a dearth of talent in religion. The practice of using words was an innovation to the students of l2C. But know that the Lord hath set apart him that is godly for himself: the Lord will hear when I call unto Him. I started to wonder if the Lord would console me if I failed the spelling dictation. I hoped He was not hypocritical. I thought I was in heaven sitting on my own Little Cloud. Stand in awe, and sin not: commune with your own heart upon your bed and be still Selah.

Those words were still going through my brain. I could not get rid of them. Father Scott tried to inculcate a sense of the Lord's Will into the students in the chapel through the calm euphony of his voice. I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for thou, Lord, only make me dwell in safety. I felt someone nudge my arm and suddenly 1 was aroused. Andrew, the new boy told me I had fallen asleep.

The detentions are given out for various reasons, even being late. Even the best excuses will not get you out of a detention. The best try I have heard is Bruce Alexandor's. Sir, I'm late because 1 was scraping the cement off Till's shoes. Even this try, although true, failed. You can also receive detentions for failing to do your homework. If you are naturally forgetful you can wind up in big trouble. One person in our class received three detentions in one week for forgetting history homework. Four detentions in two weeks means that you have to come to the school for an hour on Saturday morning. The only good part of this is that you can do all the homework you have not forgotten. Another hint is never laugh in the detention room no matter what happens. This is because you are forced to stay perfectly quiet or stay an extra half-hour. Scott Burk will attest to this. These are the ins and outs of detentions, but don't expect to keep a clean record. Mr. Allen says that everyone should have at least one before the year is over. Gordon Baird llX il 'i
