I-'OR THE SCHOOL YEXR ISH9- IQSU Alexandofs voice we all admire. As you know, he sings in the Choir: He likes to play sports Of all kinds and all sorts. And has pep we'cl all like to acquire. Coin-collecting is :StIlgllS' hobby. He gets 'em from Tom, Dick or Bobby: He does his work well, And that you can tell, For his books are never left in the lobby. Buchanan is an avid reader. In popularity he is a leader: lVith his horn-rimmed glasses, XVhich he dons lor all classes, He might be a second Gabriel Heattern! There is, in our class, Taylor Carlin, And you won't hnd the sport he can't star ini He's a boy we admire, For he sings in the Choir, And with all this he never is tirin'l An all-round lellow is Tim, YVho with good humour is filled to the brim Carsley's well up in the Form, Always on time in the morn, And does very well in the gym. There is one in the Form we called Phiddie, And Cumyn is really quite witty: WVith his pranks and his fooling, He stills knows his schooling, And on his violin can play many ll ditty. Peter is the next boy's name, And all-round sport is his lamel Darling's an actor ol' note, And at home on a boat, lVe're right glad to our Form he came. Y'Ve have with us one Jackie Fray, XVho yodels and sings all day: He plays the guitar, And may be a star, For this, we all do pray. l29l

Sl-QIXYYX HOl'Sl'. 'SCHOOL NIXKLKIINF .X special honour came to Form V when jimmy Creighton was made an Acting l'rc-lc-ct, the lirst time this has ever happened to a Form V boy. For that, the rest of ns gladly give jlimmy a paragraph to himsell. He was on all the hrst teams and a dc-hater. He is the tallest boy in the school and seems never to stop growing. His clignihecl air, his deep pontilical voice and the lac-t that he got l0ll'2 in Scripture all seem to point to his hecoining at least a Bishop. For the ic-st. alphabetically. a lew highlightszfliichard Bennetts quietly goes his way bitt is a great supporter ol the more violent members ol the Form. Mitchell llronlman did a line job as soccer goalkeeper and worked very hard to achieve a high mark set lor him. Raymond I,c-Moyne represented the school at all games, either senior or junior: he should be especially congratulated on making the jtinior hockey team as he started to skate only a year ago. He has lately been very concerned about the progress ol his youngest brother who should be old enough to come to the school about lEl5li. Cieorge Alcliee was very tuilucky in that he broke his leg which kept him out ol games, but he was a leading debater. He also seemed to be unlucky very often as regards getting on busses that broke clown enroute to school! Sonny Raper kept up his very line record at games, was one ol' the debaters, attcl did much better at work. We wonder how he ever has time lor any homework in winter because he is in so much demand lor Hampstead hockey teants. Hugh Ross is, without doubt, our leading scientist and mathematician- bitt he still has some dilliculty in solving the problem ol how to keep his books in one desk. 'I'ommy Scliopllocher played soccer and hockey lor hrst teams and was a debater. lle had the mislortune to suffer from severe situis trouble htit this was not without its reward. lor he recuperatecl by having three weeks in Florida just when Montreal weather was at its cruellest. David Seymour played on all first teams and in his spare time shot snipe. skiecl. and did a good litany impositions. Nicky Thornton, as jovial as ever. played on all junior teams and was always near the top of the Form: otttside school hours he is an expert on apples and the part inventor ol' ati ingenious and dangerous lrom ol' bobsled lor use on icy country roads. Nelson Timmins was a leading light in the lirst soccer and hockey teatns and in his spare time shot ducks and skied madly but skilllully down steep Laurentian hills. .X mixed lot, but everyone contributed something. even il' it was only a few gray hairs to otir masters. D.L.S. FORM IX' 'Iihis is all about Form number four, XVhose hoys ntnnber one even score: lVe're proud ol our work, .Xnd sports we clon't shirk. You can lincl us right on the lop lloor. l38l
