1-25 1-27 ROOM X-25 ' s ANIMAL CRACKERS Our first year at Tech is almost over and Room 25 has numerous events on which to look back. Mrs. Kelly, the trainer of our zoo, has spent her first year at Tech stifling our conception of fun and fancy free. However, we had our moments of fun when Mrs. Kelly sent us into convulsions by her imitations of the class. The main attraction of the Freshie Dance was 25’s contribution — Beverley George. Our Freshie’s queen is on the beam. As well as being class president, she’s a member of the student council. This term, we were one of the few first level classes to hear Mr. Rubinoff and his violin. That aspect of education proved very influential. Entertainment on a lower calibre included our room dance which had us struggling through the evening due to another school dance on the same night. In the field of sport, we have just been average in basketball and volleyball, but we challenge anyone to a game of tiddly winks. Don Wong, who is in our room for literature and Eng¬ lish, completes our roll call. In fact, he’ll tell anyone that there’s nothing Wong with Room 25 (much). Summing up, let’s hope that next year in Grade XI (?) we’ll participate in all the school events after becoming accustomed to the traditions of St. John’s Tech in level 1. 1-26 THE THING September came and everyone in 1-26 was prepared to sit out another “term.” As the rugby season was in full swing, we kicked in with Ernie Baran as Mr. Pas- tuck’s left hand man, (he’s left handed). Ernie also made the senor soccer team while Don Johnson saved the juniors. Soon the opera came to life and we have our Caruso and Crosby in the person of Lou Jashunsky and George Bye; and as Jasha Heifetz wasn’t available Sid Zim¬ merman squeaked into his place. To restore law and order Florian Soble was appointed as guard. Room 26 also had Ruby Hoski, Yetta Kaplan, and Anne Lesok to provide the wick for that extra dynamite of the junior volleyball team. Not to be overlooked, we also had a trustworthy repre¬ sentative to the late room in the person of Ronald Duy. To pass the time in the room, the kibitzers always had new ideas on how to annoy teachers. It really wasn’t as bad as all that ... it was worse! But we’ve had a wonderful year and we would like to thank Miss Whiteside and the rest of the teachers for helping to make it so. QUIET BUNCH (?) Back to school but this year we all looked forward to it. This was our first year at St. John’s Before we knew it, it was time for Room 27 to buckle down. Rugby season rolled around and then soccer. Our star soccer player and president, Dave Pearlman, kept us in order throughout the year. We had no worries of being at school because we always had our wonderful secre¬ tary, Leonard Yauk, to look after us. Brenda Fenske was vice-president. Our socials, Marlene Brotman and Robert Linny, kept us busy having fun. Entering the music world we were surprised at the musical talent in our room. Jim Steinberg played the violin for the school orchesctra and Libby Klein played the piano. For the opera we had people for the chorus and people for the make-up and costumes. Does anyone remember a certain gorgeous blonde who was being continuously thrown out of class? If it wasn’t for her our room would not have been the same. Yes, we were a quiet bunch of kids till we were all put in one room, and the teachers were glad to see us off at the end of the year. I wonder why? We were such good pupils! We wish to express our thanks to all the teachers who helped make this year one to remember, especially our room teacher who put up with us so well, Miss Collisson. 1-31 DISHWASHERS ALL With fall came the class elections and Benny Mamrick proved to be the victor, winning the election, and so becoming Room 31’s class president. Our vice-president was capable Geraldine Calder and our faithful minute taker, Metro Wytishin. Our contribution to St. John’s teams are Benny Mam¬ rick, to the soccer team, and Wayne Philips, to the rugby team. Yea team. Let us not forget our musical talent. Geraldine Calder, Metro Wytishyn and Fred Greb all sang in the opera. Room 31 girls and boys showed their good sports¬ manship by all volunteering to wash dishes for the school tea under the capable supervision of Miss White- side and our class room teacher Mr. Harder. Room 31 girls also ushered for the Graduation Service during the afternoon. With the coming of Field Day also came much excite¬ ment, especially after two of our boys, Metro Wytishyn won the intermediate half mile and Harry Miller won the mile. As Inter-High approached, once again Harry Miller proved it was no mistake by winning the Inter- High mile. Room 31 girls didn’t take a back seat. Geraldine Calder and Ann Stadnyk were in the hurdle team. 34
