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

. 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 .

l 1 l Q l979!80 was not a bad year - well it wasn't THAT bad a year. Even the timetable could have been worse. Every day started off with disorganization and general pandemonium oops - history. Speaking of history, it's a wonder Mr. Love survived this yearg some people still aren't sure whether he did or not. Most days had a good ending with either a single or double sleep and homework period oops - that's English or is it? What's in a name? lt was, however, an un- questionable weird year, due to the fact that most of the people in the class ARE kind of weird. And the others were just a bit strange or normal, which made them weird, right? ln all fairness though, I think people would generally feel that we all learned a fair amount, except those who were out of it. You know the type with their feet not quite on the ground. As I look around the class, ducking chalk and hymn books, I feel there is no one afraid to face the omnious years ahead when we encounter university, and the more immediate perils of grade 12, with the same intrepid spirit of ad- venture and enthusiasm which carried us through grades 10 and ll.
