X11A-22 11A-17 MALE STENOS HOPELESS HAVEN The first day of school found thirty-four rugged males gathered together into Room 22 under the watchful eye of Mr. Thierry. As the year went by, our 34 members dwindled down to twenty-two. Our room had individual athletic stars. Among them were A1 Ross, Doug Summerton, Bill Breakey, Gabe Pankhurst, Barry Meyers, A1 Lorrimer, Pat Reid, and Bill Williams. We had little success in team sports, losing out in both the soccer and basketball finals. In the limelight of our room were Gordon Pankhurst, class president and school council member, and A1 Ross, our only contribution to the opera (even if he didn’t sing). The brains in our room were A1 Ross, A1 Lorrimer, and Ed Melanchuk. We can claim that we did something useful this year, although it seems impossible. The boys went out and sold the most tea tickets in the whole school. In closing we would like to thank all the teachers, especially Mr. Thierry, for putting up with us all year. ROOM 23 PERSONALITIES ON PARADE In our room we have many different types of students, and surprisingly enough, a teacher, Miss Christie. The racket heard in the morning is usually due to Lily Grushko, Toby Morantz, and Diane Rubin. President Bud Scanlan is usually found vainly trying to keep the lass quiet, sometimes even succeeding. Yes, even Room 23 has its scholars and Rudy Kaethler and Morley Mogul lead the way. Our room could drive most teachers insane. A con¬ glomeration of students of many types of outstanding character (each trying to be the most outstanding) is the cause. Our socials and most of our outside activities were capably handled by Esther Vinsky and Nate Nurgitz. Jerry Footlick is our number one glamour boy. Mar¬ lene Gershman, Eugene Kucher, and Jerry Brick should be placed in the “energetic” category. Here we have XL-23 in all its glory, following the daily routine of school, and the usual night routine (homework that is). Nevertheless, a swell bunch of students and, Miss Christie, a grand teacher, make up Room 23. Unlike the title, we are not all hopeless for under the supervision of Mr. Dack and Badman Bogo, as class president, we have finally started on the road to educa¬ tion. Eleanor Grescoe, LeBeau James, Velia Karr, Marilyn Kramer, Esther Levine, and Monte Mazo constituted the “long hair” section of our room taking part in the “Mikado.” A weiner roast tally-ho, and a few house parties, made up our social calendar. Jack Mak and Mel Kramer made these a success. Although we don’t have any Robinson’s or Didricksons amongst us, we do have some sport enthusiasts. Pinky Michalison and Konnie Tittler did a good job as sports campaigns, in providing fun for us. Our most outstand¬ ing sport was bowling, and, being on Friday at four, it offered a good excuse for skipping detention. Outwardly out apparently dull existence was enliven¬ ed by the antics of clowns, who put on a show for us every day, which took care of everything from to nuts, including ballet. We had few budding stars, namely LeBeau as Sarah Bernhardt and Jack as Rudolph Valentino who held their matinee daily. Looking back we find that we have had loads of fun together and would like to say thanks and aurevoir to Mr. Dack who has been a shhhhhhhhh. ROOM 36 THE IDEAL ROOM Room 36, in our opinion, is a dream room with 30 beautiful gals. Traditional elections were held, Jackie Randall was president, but Mary Speight being bigger, took over at mid-term. Betty Ashby and Myrna Lerner, respectively, were our vice-presidents. Rita Lesperance, our efficient secretary, braved her position for the remainder of the semester. Our sports captains were Elsie Fosty and Ruth Blore, and they did their utmost for the events of inter-room school champs. Many thanks are certainly deserved for the successful socials we had. Social reps were Margie Kadenik and Nellie Futorski. The first dance was for the Xmas Cheer Fund and we donated $22.00. Our next was held in honor of a wonderful person, Nellie Futorski, who had an accident and ended her school year. Lucky you! Surprising talent in our room, Lucy Mateychuk, played for the school orchestra and our sensational vocalists were Diana Jacubec and Margie Kadenik. The plants grew and grew until they grew bigger than Jennie Matkowski, and that was her contribution. We would like to extend our thanks to Miss Hawry- luk whose patient and guiding hand has helped us to become young ladies. 41
