GRADE TEN CLASSES Class X-l 2 Student self-government is Class X-12’s great¬ est achievement for the year. (Haven’t you noticed it?) At 8:30 a.m., Frank, our president, can be heard serenading Elsie, our vice-president, with “My Bonnie Lass She Smileth.” At 1:00 p.m. some little friends led by Roy, use lipstick and face powder to make a glamour girl out of Henry, but oh! what he turned out to be! The pupils themselves are very co-operative. A spick and span classroom is their motive. The student in charge is usually occupied scur¬ rying around with a broom and shovel (to pick up the dust, silly). George Waite, a former rugby star, left St. John’s to join the Navy. Last but not least, we thank Miss Pettingell for her “courageous action in the face of overwhelming odds.’’ Class X-l 3 As we curiously approach the entrance to Room 13, we become aware of an unusual at¬ mosphere of tranquility. No sound or evidence of sound is emitted. Upon opening the door, we discover the reason for our utopian illusion. It is only 9:00 a.m. and the room is still empty. Intent on finding some virtue to include in this write-up, we inquire as to any individual or collective accomplishments of this class, and are surprised at the extent of the revelation. Notable individuals include Morris Loffman, member of the school council, who was recently appointed Minister of Ping Pong Tables; Dan Shapira, who held the unique position of being both president (of the class), and King (of the Pirates of Penzance); John Enns and Mae Olynick, who also starred in the opera. Collectively the room contributed to the suc¬ cess of the Fair, Opera, and other school projects. In sports the basketball team failed to gain the Class X Championship by the narrowest of margins, losing only one game at a time. In conclusion. Room 13 wishes to express its appreciation to Mr. Newfield for making this an enjoyable year for us all. Class X-16 “X-16”—Where you find Mr. Durnin shout¬ ing, “Everybody to your seats there, study period. Did you hear me?” Oh, we’ve just one more trick to go and we win!” shouts Mur¬ dock, boys’ sports captain and ex-president. “Now you get to your seats boys,” replies Mr. Durnin. “Now that means you boys too, Bernie, Joe, and you Mike. Don’t you know what study periods are for?” “X-16”—Where you see industrious students cramming over a history book ten minutes be¬ fore the exam, and stand in line after it with one assignment, getting A’s for them. “X-16”—The class where you’ll always find Jack Alexander, our Lauritz Melchior, singing opera, while Joe Sklover is dishing out a ver¬ sion of the latest song hit in a style all of his own. “X-16” would like to express their sincere thanks to their teacher, Mr. Durnin, who was so patient and kind to them throughout the year. What a Life This Has Been in Class X-l 8 Our council has tried to be very strict. The court sessions which deal with unruly students have had a very good effect (we hope). President Jack Stein has tried very hard to keep our class quiet during the teacher’s ab¬ sence. Miss Secretary, Irene Ferley, and Renie Donen, our Fair and Opera Rep., deserve very special mention for their work in making our class conscious of all school functions. Since we have received a few converts from Room 32, such as Manly Rusen, always saying that he can’t start a book from the middle, Paul Hrynchuk, always sticking up for his rights, Borden Cirka, the shortie of our class, and a few others, our room has really under¬ gone a terrific change. Also there is Mike, whom Mr. Silverberg elected to keep the boards clean in Maths period. The boys have done very well in the depart¬ ment of Sports. They managed to get into the finals in basketball (under the able leadership of Sid Kirson) but, alas, didn’t do so well in hockey and football. Last, but not least, we wish to express our deep gratitude to you teachers who endured our classes. Class X-23 Paul Cheslock is our President good. Who would be a tyrant, if he could. Marion C. and Dick R. show kindred feeling, While George C. and Mike R. in doze are reeling. Ruth D., Lorraine H., Ruth G. and Ann K. Also Margaret Beggs, always know what’s proper to say. Stella T., Ann R., Laura T. Anes M. are good pals As Clarice C., Bernice N., Helen H., the quiet gals. Gordon G. and Arthur C. in Electrical Shop “reign,” While Bill Crosby to behave struggles in vain. June, a dancer and Jack a doorman will be, Jack S. and Doug S. are doubtful, naturally. Ronald D. is very small, Unlike handsome Andy who is quite tall. Mildred N. Stella P., Josephine Our basketbelles. And there we see Phyllis O., Myrna M., Clara M. and Etta C. Iris D., Wilma F., Pearl H., Kay M. are supreme, Donald D. and Arnold S. are quite keen. We offer our thanks, Miss Owens, to you For being a wonderful teacher the whole year through. Class X-25 An open letter to Room 25 — sponsor of “Ain’t It Tragic?”. Dear Sir: I wish to compliment you on your splendid 1945-46 performance. Aside from your regular work, I understand that Miss Chrissie Shew- chuk met with Room 13, 31 and 28 representa¬ tives to arrange a toboggan party which re¬ sulted in a tremendous success. In view of this success a bang-up theatre party was held on March 1. A skit, prepared and presented by the members of your cast went over (board) rather well, I hear. These social and other activities afforded the members of the cast much joy and mental relaxation. Page One Hundred and Fifteen
