We hope you enjoy it . As editor, I am greatly indebted to everyone who has helped in any- way with the book .... the long hours of thought and toil can only partially realized when looking through this book. Credit for this accompl ishment will belong to them . The Lacedaemon is a memory book. We hope it will recall and re- create many memorable moments that we have spent together this past year. We also hope it will be a permanent memento of the trials, the struggles, the successes, the rewards and the decisions that have evolved through this year of our high school education . Now ahead of us we must strive for greater understanding and ser- vice for, the past is but a prologue to the future. Coral Kennedy. II J- rincipal A m eddaai A year ago we welcomed the return of our Yearbook in a modern and pleasing format. It is now my pleasure to congratulate the editor and her staff on the second edition of Lacedaemon . They have built on last year ' s experience to produce a record which was even more complete than our first. The new features introduced have added much to this appeal . We are grateful to Coral Kennedy and the hard working people who have spent long hours on its preparation . The activities illustrated necessarily emphasize the extra-curricular life at Beck . It is superfluous to observe that much serious work goes on also, as is evi- denced by the large group of Ontario Scholars who brought us honour last year. May you have many happy hours as you re-live the year through the Lacedaemon . C . G . Chapman (Principal) Uice-I rincipal d m eSSaai The pages of this Yearbook portray a very active and eventful year for the students of Sir Adam Beck . It has been a very meaningful and exciting experience for me personally. In my first year at Beck, I have been impressed with your aca- demic prowess, school spirit and genuine friendliness. The many organizations, il ' lustratedherein , are to be congratulated for their activities during the year. These serve to make your education a whole education and will probably be among your fondest memories of Beck . I congratulate the graduates of 1966-67 and extend wishes that your future achievements will continue to be as satisfying and beneficial . Also, the people who are not graduating, but have successfully completed another grade in their formal education are to be congratulated. It is said that any fulfilment is a bond- age. It drives us to a higher fulfilment. In years to come, you will find in the pages of this yearbook many happy memories and situations which will be recalled and cherished . Mr .

I say difficult because there were a great many problems to solve and overcome; rewarding because the Council rose to the occasion and handled them well . Any Students ' Council can carry on with the traditions of the past, follow in the footsteps of preceding Councils, but it is a real test of council spirit and strength when they attempt to break with these traditions and adopt ambitious changes and projects, which they feel will benefit the school . This year, through council efforts a highly successful Spirit Club was formed - the Green Giant , an ambitious Centennial Project - the financing of a Beck mural, was adopted . Spring Elections were put into effect and several smal ler pro- jects such as the United Appeal Drive, the Students ' Council Auditorium and the Graduate Reunion were achieved. I would sincerely like to thank all those who have served so well on Council this past year. Only through teamwork have these efforts been rewarding . To all those who are graduating, I wish every happiness and success. I sincerely hope that those of you who remain will take full advantage of all the op- portunities offered here, not only academic, but also athletic, cultural, social and spiritual . At the same time I hope you will actively support and take an interest in your student government so that it may truly represent the will of the student bod y. - Bob Zinner - (President ) This page is sponsored by: ONTARIO CLEANERS, PHYSICAL EDUCATION Mr. Sharratt, Mr (seated) Miss Dim Mrs. Ruddle.

IN MEMORIAM CRUEL WORLD Life, you gave in to your worst enemy, Death, you took a friend who knew you not, My friend . He knew not hunger, he knew not cold, He knew not sorrow nor grief; Death, he was no friend to you . You washed the smile from his face And made him see your frown of scorn, You took the laughter from his eyes And made him grasp your beckoning hand . You made him silent while you, Death, Spoke above the din . Cruel world! Death, you refused to let him be a man, To love something more than life itself, You left him with things undone And snatched him from the life he shared with us. You took him in midst of friendship, honor, triumph, You made others walk in sadness And their hearts sang of sorrow . They still walk in sadness, Seeking peace and happiness, While you look on, waiting patiently. Cruel world! Eternity, you own him now, for All the roads of this world Lead him to Heaven, and the roaming wind Will take him toward the sun . All the roads of this earth are strewn with friendship, But the eye of Death was waiting to meet him. Cruel world! All the roads of the plain disappear untiringly, In spite of joys and sorrows Toward the bright horizon. All the roads of Life ask us to hope That Death will invite us To the banquet of Eternity . John Beune O Death, if the sun and the wild wind speak to you of Liberty, If the sun and the wild wind speak to you of Life -you listen not . Cruel world ! Chin in your hands, feet in the gutter, you look at Life With envy as it dances in the streets of the suburbs, You are humming in your heart the bitter poetry That rises as you wait for yet another. In the night it is lovely To believe in the light, In the triumphant dawn, In the morning sun , To know you will be alive For within Life is forged the face of tomorrow, But within Death there is nothing but the face of Death. Cruel , harsh world ! Our mourning will change into a joyful dance, Fresh glance, out-stretched hand, Heart full of music , Toward the waiting city we will go, radiantly, To labour in the workshop of noble human efforts, But we forget him not. We remember that day you called him, That day of reunion transfigured by sorrow. By - Dani Heinen . IVITIES . Ar. T. C xecut (L. TO R.) Randy Heimpel (Sec), Mike Roney (Pres), Don Morrow (Vice) .

Through the fuzzy, blue darkness, glittering shop windows, blind with frost and snow, shone and twinkled in the night. I tramped through the deepening snow with the collar of my pea coat turned up around my tingling ears and a rather long, woollen scarf wrapped about that. In spite of it all, I was still cold, and I quickened my pace along the street, anxious to be near the warmth of a roaring fire, crackling in the hearth, The high buildings with their overhanging stories loomed overhead. At the very top, blue smoke curled from the silhouetted chimneys and mingled with the fresh winter air. Although it was cold indeed, I must confess how delighted I was to be out on such a wonder- ful night . Just as I was about to cross the street, a large, red sleigh pulled by two steaming work horses came whipping around the corner sending a spray of snow over me . You silly, old fool ! I cried . Why don ' t you look where you 1 re going ! The sleigh came to a quick stop and a sly, old gent with mutton chop whiskers and top hat askew peeked over the back of the seat. I instantly recognised him as T omal Smith, the town doctor, a respectable citizen but very stubborn and obsequious. Erherm! Ah, Merry Christmas, Tomal, I said quickly. Insolence! he replied. Insolence in one respect or another! I ' m sorry, Tomal, I didn ' t know it was you. Then 1 must assume you ' d have said something worse, had you known it was! No, not at all , Tomal ! If you hadn ' t — Respect your elders, they say! That little phrase seems to be outdated in this village! Now listen, Mr. Smith! Your sleigh-- Goodnight, Mr. Greenwedge! he snapped, and after c limbing back down into the seat, he glided on down the street in his oversized sleigh. I had always despised Mr. Smith. Every village has its Scrooge and Tomal was ours. He enjoyed the company of no one and although his position of doctor hardly suited him, he was the only one within miles, and so we tolerated him . One could always spot Tomal in his top hat and long, black coat, walking stiff-legged home from work. I hurried on down the snow-laden street and soon arrived at Wendel Fromme ' s house, which stood on top of a hill overlooking the village . It was here that I had been asked to come for an interesting evening , as Wendel had put it. Every window was aglow and Christmas decorations of all colours hung behind the panes. I fumbled up the brick steps and rapped on the door. As I stood waiting in the snow, 1 noticed the fresh runner tracks which curved off the street and up by the side of the house. I thought perhaps they might be from Tomal ' s sleigh, but hoped they weren ' t. Ah, good evening, George! said Wendel, opening the heavy, wooden door, I ' m glad you were able to come . What a night we ' re having ! Oh, it ' s not really so bad, Wendel . In fact, I enjoyed walking over . Let me take your coat , George . You must be frozen ! smiled Wendel . Go right in and warm yourself by the fire. I handed over my hat and coat and strolled into the lounge where several other gentlemen were already seated in large, leather arm chairs which formed a semicircle around the hearth. I spotted Mr. Smith, ensconced in the most comfortable, softest chair of the bunch. I heartily shook hands with everyone, except Tomal, to whom I gave a modest, Good evening . Well, gentlemen, 1 suopose you ' re wondering why I called this meeting, said Mr. Frommes, folding his arms and ambling in to the centre of the room. Everyone looked around, and nodded to each other, mumbling and pointing out the truth in this statement . I continued to thaw out my hands and glare at Mr . Smith . The reason, continued Frommes, is because I want to reveal to you, something very pecul iar . An anachronism! It is an anachronism! piped Mr. Gleener. You ' re jumping to conclusions again, Mr. Gleener! said Mr. Smith. You ' re always jumping to conclusions. Yes, Moses, let him go on, I said. Frommes surveyed the room, looking carefully at each of us, until his gaze fell upon Mr. Todal who was in a slight trance caused from gazing at the reflection of the fire in the window. Fred Todal was an odd little man with frizzy, grey hair and a thick, droopy moustache. I had often seen him, toddling down the street on winter mornings, placing his cane in front of him and taking a step, then, with a snappy hop-skip-and-jump he would gain a few yards until he had reached h is destination . I noticed Frommes staring at him and gave Fred a nudge with my elbow . Erherm, yes, an anachronism, well I see, he said quickly. It is not an anachronism, Mr. Todal, said Frommes. In fact, it is something far more fantastic than that. Mr. Gleener formed a strange look on his face and stumbled out of the room holding his enormous stomach. Startling news, or for that matter, any news, always affected him in an odd way. Go on Wendel, he may be gone for hours, I chortled. Very well, but first allow me to fetch something from my room, said Wendel, wisking down the dark hallway. Mr. Squab looked at us. I wonder what he ' s got? A new sculpture no doubt, grumbled Mr. Smith, a little disappointed. Wendel was always turning out little artistic creations in his spare time but I doubted if he had called the meeting for that sole purpose . Mr . Todal began telling us of a sculpture he had once seen in a museum which actually glowed in the dark without the aid of electricity, but his anecdote was cut short when Frommes re-entered the room, carrying a small wooden box, del- icately carved with a hinged top. This he placed on a small antique table in the centre of the room. He took a shaded lamp from another table and placed it beside the box. I drew up a large padded stool and sat down . Tomal nervously fidgeted in his chair as we all awaited Frommes ' next words . With a smile, he reached out and gently pulled back the lid. Mr. Smith looked in and raised his eyebrows. I told you it would be a statue. Tomal was right; it seemed only to be a very small statue, pinkish-orange in colour. Then, the more I stared, the more it appeared to be a moving little man . It moved! I saw it move! I cried. So did I , added Mr . Todal . That little man is a I ive ! With that, the fat little man, quite alive indeed, hopped over the edge of the box and stood on the table looking at us. His pear-shaped body, short little legs, and broad, beaming smile appeared so amusing that we all broke into uncontrolable fits of jubilant laughter. Mr. Gleener, who had just walked into the room, viewed this awesome spectacle with his eyes and mouth wide open, and within seconds, was bustling out again, his great belly bouncing with each step . The little man jumped up and down and fell backwards into the box. The lid dropped shut and it was late in the evening before any of us fully recovered from this extraordinary experience. Mr. Smith groaned and said that it had certainly looked exactly like a small statue. Robert Fones 12C It seemed like a normal night. There had been a light sprink[e of rain, and a glossy sheen covered the downtown thoroughfare. In it were reflected the bright neon signs that flashed above. There was a bit of a chill in the air, but a substantial number of shoppers still straggled in the streets. An occasional pair of headlights sparkled in the clear night air. Over the entire scene lay a veil of serenity . Suddenly, four young members of the motorcycle set split the quiet temporarily as they raced through the downtown section. Irresponsible young punks, thought one storekeeper. Most shoppers didn ' t waste time thinking about it. There were so many other, more important things to worry about . In a short time the motorcyclists were back, but this time they stopped halfway down the street. With nothing more exciting to do, a nearby policeman became the target of their taunts and jibes. Suddenly their mood changed. With a snake-like smoothness they surrounded him. A few muffled thuds, an unheeded cry for help, and it was over. The motorcycles were remounted, and off they sped. Irresponsible young punks, thought one storekeeper. Most of the shoppers didn ' t waste time thinking about it. There were so many other, more important things to worry about . Overhead the neon lights flashed, and the rain started again. Rob MacMillan -Grade 10- Wei I , I ' ve been through almost two years of school , and very soon , (I hope), I ' ll become a member of that elite club known as the senior school . After long and hard years of apprent- iceship | am finally ready to start looking distinguished, aloof, and acquire in general the mark that sets the senior out from a junior. I will be required to change my whole line of thinking, for juniors (the downtrodden masses) will soon exist only to be despised and stepped on. Actually, before becoming sophisticate, debonair, and otherwise stamping myself in the mold of the senior, I wish to make it clear that there were advantages to being a junior. Firstly, you find that seniors expect juniors to act stupidly, because they are stupid, The senior is easily noticeable by his quiet and unruffled manner. A junior, on the other hand, is noisy, loud, and unclean. When first arriving at Beck, a junior is subtly informed of this fact, but are also told that if they work hard and keep their noses clean, they too might one day be- come a senior. But even if you try hard to imitate your superiors, being expected to be dumb can create interesting problems. After all, constantly being told that you are inferior and stupid leads some people to start thinking they are inferior and stupid . The real ization of this fact leaves a junior free to do stupid things. Such activities are severely frowned upon by seniors and the pre- fects are very deligent in rooting out the malfacters(new word recently picked up in French class) and making them confess their sins . Above it all, however, there exist an attitude of tolerance and resignation . After all they are only juniors, and what e Ise can you expect? . So, as I near the most dramatic experience in my life, and as I ready myself so that I, too, will be an example of good to the children of darkness, I reflect that, in spite of it all, being a junior wasn ' tall that bad .

Fred Lesser 13C 68 Travelling is a stimulating experience . It dispel Is boredom . It opens the mind. It is an inexhaustible provider of new experiences. I believe every young person should travel . And yet there is one problem with the tourist life which unfortunately grows so as to become a complete barrier: it is far too expensive. And yet did you know that a total of 12,000 young Canadians have been on the move about Canada for the last three summers without paying a cent? This program is part of the activities of the Centennial Commission of our Government. The object is to awake Canadians to the distinctive character of our country ; to have them experience a sense of Canada ; to move our trains of thought in an east-westerly direction instead of in a southerly one . These phrases are almost meaningless, I admit, unless you were as fortunate as 1 when asked to join the Youth Travel Program . Groups of Voyageurs du Centenaire come from all over Canada . We from the London- Dorchester-St . Thomas area went the farthest from home of all, to Trail B.C. And a more en- joyable two weeks I have never spent. Trail is the ideal place for the sports ' enthusiast. When mountain-climbing one afternoon we were told that Nancy Green, Canada ' s woman champion skier, trains during the winter on the very slope that we were struggling up. The natives boast that Red Mountain is the best slope in all Canada. And during the winter everybody skies. The lakes are clear and deep and very blue, certainly very tempting to the water-skier. And just about every teenager spent about three quarters of his summertime life out on the lakes. This sportsman-like attitude is understandable considering the fact that a simple walk up the street involves climbing at a 70 degree angle or restraining yourself from running down the same slope I learned that gravity is a very influential force! I was impressed understandibly by those experiences for which there is no parallel near London, Ontario. The Ainsworth Hot Springs, for example, were unique. Boiling mineral water pours out of a crack in the mountain-side and is collected in a swimming pool . And people just sit in it, not moving, and become cured from asthma or other bodily ailments. We novices begin by diving energetically in and racing the widths. We were warned not to continue our activity, and I am afraid those of us who were enjoying ourselves too much to sit still, exper- ienced complete physical exhaustion several hours later. One just doesn ' t cavort in boiling water! On the educational side we were not neglected. But what an effective and permanent way to learn about Froth Flotation (note Chemistry students!) first hand in Canada ' s biggest mining and smelting plant — Cominco , the reason Trail B. C. exist at all . The week went very quickly. People whom none of us will ever see again became for one week our closest friends through no other bond than the fact that we are all Canadians. And the trip home was ideal . Twenty-four friends in a railway car: some became chain cigar smokers, others kept the paperback makers in business. The bridge and euchre fanatics monopolized the upper births, and the rest watched the unbelievable vastness that is Canada fly past. In the Rockies the train (in many places) travelled only a few inches from the brink edge; far too close for my personal comfort. Several people in the party were almost always left in places like Jasper or Winnipeg because there was so much to see and the stops seldom exceeded thirty minutes. The prairies were flat and to some, monotonous. But I wouldn ' t have missed the Prairie sunder, because there is nothing like it in Eastern Canada. And we can be proud of Northern Ontario because its rugged beauty is something not common in the rest of Canada. And so a sort of nationalism was instilled which had not been there before . I have an ambition to go back, at a slower pace. Three thousand miles in two weeks tends to leave the head spinning, but it was really wonderful . Marg Gordon -Grade 12- ME AND SHAKESPEARE Me and Shakespeare, or is it Shakespeare and me, or Shakespeare and I? Anyway, we don 1 t see quire eye to eye no matter which way it is said. I mean , take this Willy guy. He lived in jolly old England about four hundred years ago . Why should little ol 1 me, whom he didn ' t even know, have to sit and suffer through some war, or some crazy, mushy love scene? Take, for example, Julius Caesar. After his assassination Mark Anthony speaks to the masses. I come to bury Caesar, not to praise him. Then he spends several hours eulogizing Caesar, and inciting the masses to murder the conspirators. Caesar was stupid anyway. 1 mean if lions were having little lions in the streets, and the skies blazed blood red, and dissected chickens had no hearts, all that just before you left for a hard day at the forum, would you go? Well , I guess not . Everyone thinks the tragedy of Romeo and Juliet is so touching. If such things happened today, Romeo would be accused of robbing the cradle. Imagine saying goodnight, goodnight, parting is such sweet sorrow that I shall say goodnight till it be morrow to a fourteen year old girl ! At that age I had to be in bed at ten o ' c lock . In Hamlet there is so much action that it almost slays me. It might as well, everyone else is slain - his mother, uncle - father, girlfriend, her father and brother, and most of Hamlet ' s other acquaintances . In Henry IV we have more bloody battle fields. Af least here we have a more human element . Prince Hal and Fa I staff are do-badders, who enjoy ordinary pleasure, I ike the I ife of the tavern . But then they like highway robbings too . Then in Henry V Prince Hal as king is a good guy. How dull . Maybe Shakespeare could be more enjoyable for me if I could rearrange the characters. I think the grave digger in Hamlet would be a great companion for Richard II ' s Queen. The grave digger is such a jolly guy, and the poor queen cries much too much . The Duchess of York in Richard II and Falstaff from Henry IV would be just fine. Shakespeare insists on murders and deaths, and these two could talk one another into the grave. Then I could call on my friend the grave-digger again . Glendower from Henry IV and the ghost of Hamlet ' s father would get along well . Glendower loved the supernatural, and King Hamlet was rather a nice ghost. But Shakespeare has departed this world so he will never know of my fine suggestions for improving his work. Then too, I could tell him that I think a few of his phrases are a little worn out, and that he shouldn ' t use them. Like there ' s something rotten in the state of Den- mark , and woe is me and so on. How unoriginal can you get? Author Anonymous A THLET1CS i r B ■ ' ■ ' . ? B. • B BB - IBa - .

Senior rootbail UNDEFEATED CHAMPIONS inches made them champions, and they made their own luck. A Colonel Earl Blaik, head football coach of the West Point cadets used this statement to summarize his undefeated team of 1946. Another great football coach, perhaps not quite as well known as Colonel Blaik, also has an outstanding record unequalled by a London coach in quite some time. With a record of 20 wins and 3 loses in the last 3 years, there remains little doubt in his player ' s minds that Coach Dunlop is truly a leader and a fine gentleman. Will Rice once said Champions are just people who try harder, Although this statement is very true, I feel various other factor ' s brought that battered old trophy back to London ' s best. Surely teamwork and devotion to our coaches were major ingred- ients. Throughout the season we tried to maintain a feeling of unity, with no one indiv- idual being more important to the team. Everyone gave 100? and although some players received more acclaim for their efforts, they were only an unit. When a team plays a game, it must have many assets to the most important ingredient is devotion to its coaches Mr. 20 defensive setups to combat various offensive formations, unit with supreme trust in its coach. With a play-book with fine formations and nearly one hundred plays, Mr. Dunlop instilled a similar emotion in his offensive team! The repetition of the word units rather than individual I feel, spells the success of this year ' s team. Beck won qames before but not like this year. A love for the game, confidence, solidarity and above all trust and devotion to a coach brought Beck its long-deserved title. If football is the game most like war it is also the game most like life, for it teaches young men that work, sacrifice, selflessness, competitive drive, perserverence, and respect for author i ty ' are the prices one pays to achieve worthwhile goals.

In 1931, a great sigh of relief might have been heard in the hal Is of S .A . B .C . I . , as the public school classes were transferred to the recently completed quarters in Lady Beck Public School. As the years passed, and Beck grew in population, it became necessary to add to the school . In 1949, the first of a planned series of additions to the school was begun . A cafeteria was added, built at the back of the original building. The other additions planned, a gymnasium and a classroom wing, never materialized. Students who graduated from Beck before 1960 wouldn ' t recognize their alma mater today. For in 1961, an addition was added to the front of the school to create the building we now know so well . At this same time the boys ' gym was also built. The addition was designed to be in the same style as the original building. In this centennial year a great number of organizations have become historically minded. Many are looking back to the cir- cumstances contributing to their founding and to the achievements, both famous and infam- ous, they have made. We at Beck have a double incentive to do just that. Besides marking the 100th year of Confederation, 1967 also marks the 40th year of the com- pletion and naming of our school . In the year 1924, a growing popula- tion in London ' s east end forced the founding of a secondary school in an old school build- ing on Princess Ave . The name of London East Collegiate was chosen for this establish- ment. Within one year however, facilities at this location became inadequate and a new collegiate was built on a twenty acre site on Dundas Street, across from Oakland Ave. The land, which was owned by the Ontario government, was purchased by the city through the good offices of Sir Adam Beck MPP. The grateful city honoured its illust- rious citizen by naming the new school after AN EARLY ASSEMBLY FORMER LIBRARY Of course, a school is not a building alone, a school is people. And some of the most important people in a school are the teachers. The teachers who are the most associated with Beck ' s history are the ones who have been here the longest, and who have become the most involved with Beck. Such teachers as Mr . Bartley, Mr. Cropp, Mr. Groat and Mr. Chapman con tell a thousand tales about the school, its traditions and its people . The late John H. Dolan was Bee established the school in its new school in the important first few man; he invented the desks the [ desks, that now stand in Mr. Gr he was an airplane fighter pilot. : ' s first principal .

In his later years here, he left physical education and specialized in geography. Last year he was called out of his first year of retirement to serve as temporary vice-principal when Mr. Traut was transferred. Mr. Groat, a Latin teacher, presently holds the Beck record for length of tenure. He began teaching at Beck in 1932 and is still here . No lengthy discussion of his exploits need be recorded here, for last year ' s yearbook was dedicated to ft 9 ii ft M GLEE CLUB IN THE ' 50 ' S Beck is a school with many tra- ditions. Music is one of the strongest ones with roots dating back to 1928 with the performance of Beck ' s first operetta, The Wild Rose. Operettas since then have included several by Gilbert and Sullivan: The Mikado, 1955, The Pirates of Penzance, 1962, and H. M. S. Pin- afore, 1951, 1961. In other years, Beck has staged a variety show Beck on Call and recently has inaugurated an annual Music Night. Beck ' s Glee Club has also been on radio and has made several tours. Our singing auditoriums began in 1931 and have been continued ever BAND IN THE ' 40 ' S H.M.S. PINAFORE 1951 Another Beck tradition is that of sports. Beck is a football and basketball school . In the first six years of football conference play, Beck won the title four times. We have won the London basketball championship regularly, and our team of 1957 won the All-Ontario Championship. This year of our 40th anniversary has been a good example of our proficiency in our two athletic spec- ialties, as we won both basketball and football championships. EARLY RUGBY TEAM GIRL ' S CHAMPIONSHIP BASKETBALL TEAM 1928 THAT GIRLISH FIGURE Beck, for several year, had an army militia corps. It was fre- quently commended for its excel- lence, and In 1957 won the much coveted Strathcona Shield. Major Cropp(2nd from left in front row) was training officer, Second Lieutenant Bartley (2nd from right, front) was quartermaster and Captain Rice (front, right) was an instuctor. Beck has a literary tradition as well . From 1927 to 1936, Beck had an excellent school magazine. A copy of the first issue of the Lantern, as it was called, was presented to Lt. Gov- ernor W. D. Ross in 1927 when he officially opened the school . The magazine won several prizes for its excellence. In 1933, it won the prize for being the best school magazine in Ontario, and in 1934 it was voted the 2nd best. That year, Dorothy Cooper, was editor. The Spartan was started in 1961 and in 1965, was adjudged the 5th best school newspaper in western Ontario by the UWO Gazette. 1929 LANTERN STAFF A. Bartley, Editor Over the past 40 years, the staff and students of Beck have witnessed and been part of many proud moments. There were, however, occasions that might not give cause for a Spartan to raise his head . During the war years, 1400 trees were planted as a part of a conservation programme . It was intended that the trees serve to remind all future students of the rewards of good conservation practices. Yet within two years every one of these trees had burned down . The trees seemed to have had as long a lease on life as the ill-fated cricket team of 1929. Despite the efforts of an athletically-minded student, A. Bartley, it seemed that there existed an apathy towards cricket. Perhaps this well-established game might furnish a suitable alternative to the junior football teams of recent years. By 1939, the students were tired of staring at the blank walls of their basement cafeteria. To overcome this problem, art teacher, Selwyn Dewdney, and his art students created a ten panel mural . The mural received critical acclaim and was featured in Saturday Night Magazine. Today these celebrated panels have as their viewers only the custodians, who now emply the basement room for their purposes. One could journey down to the subterranean part of Beck to view those forsaken treasures. He would do so at his own risk, however, for it is rumoured that Beck has a prowling ghost It all started , but perhaps it is best to let the elements of the supernatural make their own presence felt . s •U i DVERTlSlNG EATON ' S MAKE ' YOUR ' FASHION DOLLAR COUNT AT EATON ' S!
