DAVID BOULT: Bogie’s friendly comments will be missed by Jolly and Progy. Dave, the other lippy one, spends much time on a Robert Lowry muscle-building course. When this better-than-average student missed his 3:01 ride he played senior lacrosse and hockey. Dave’s ambition is becoming a lawyer, and he’ll probably have a lot to do with courts. THOMAS BUGG: Tommy, the terror of the phy¬ sics lab, wins a round ofapplause for his good nature and uninten¬ tional humor. (Where’s my brief¬ case?) One of the hard workers in XII, he managed to take time from his studies to participate in cross-country and soccer. In fu¬ ture, Tom hopes to rule Unity with an iron hand, but we feel that his ultimate fate will be as¬ sembling accordions. KIT ROWLEY: For as long as we’ve known Rowley, all his troubles have been kept in his old kit-bag. The hardest working boy in grade XII could often be found study¬ ing between the hours of 11:00 P.M. and 7:00 A.M. When ex¬ posed to sports, Kit’s strong, silent side was instantly trans¬ formed into the personification of school spirit. If there’s, as they say, no substitute for hard work, Kit’s future success is assured. DOUG NESBITT: Farouk, the other African ex¬ port, spent the time he had left after reading Air Force propagan¬ da being Barny’s bodyguard. Doug was a newcomer to S.J.R., and participated in lacrosse, bas¬ ketball and hair styling, and was responsible for some of the bril¬ liant photography in the Eagle. Doug nearly lost his will to live when his model airplane did a nosedive as soon as it was off the ground. We hope he does better in the Air Force. JOHN KILGOUR: Affectionately named Sixth Form Janny Man of the Year. Kilgour also cleaned up on the lacrosse field. Garbage”, says Kennedy. Apparently John, a deep thinker, fooled us all several times. He is a firm believer in the rumor that the meek will in¬ herit the earth. His ambition is to be a lawyer, and he will prob¬ ably clean up in the court rooms, too. 14

GAVIN SMITH: Gav, when he, did bring his head down from above, was one of grade XII’s most active and popular students. His mania for hockey often brought him out to the arena at 600 A.M. and he and Mr. Olsen fruitlessly pro¬ moted V.W.’s. Gav’s secret am¬ bition is to be a professional hoc¬ key player. We feel he might just make it. ROB KENNEDY: Rob carved himself a niche in the lacrosse team as chief on the squad. Other feathers in his cap include: senior football, hockey, and survival in Kenora. One of the best-liked boys in the sixth, a very reserved boy, Rob and his easygoing and exceptionally friendly manner will surely win him many opportunities to achieve whatever he wishes. JOHN NICHOLS: Beaner, the sole remaining member of the 3:01 club, was of¬ ten seen as a red blur heading down the dike and on weekends he hooked up a trailer and took Jolly down to the drags. John as per usual materialized in grade XII this year and will doubtless continue to seep through to uni¬ versity. John’s future is uncer¬ tain, but he will probably end up as a driveshaft. BUD McKNIGHT: Farm-boy commuted from Roland to S.J.R. to B.H. to Rol¬ and, in that order. He was usually silent, but, in Hill’s com¬ pany, it was safest to retire about a quarter of a mile. Bud played hockey and lacrosse with the same enthusiasm he had for Fri¬ day afternoons. His ambition is to go into Agriculture at U. of M., BUT he’ll probably make premier. RON LITTLE: Ron’s laugh could be counted on to brighten up the most glum of evenings and his easy-going manner was put to the greatest advantage as in Murder in the Cathedral, and in Henry the Fifth. Ron also played senior football. In short, he was the playboy of the sixth. In August, Ron was found flicking the hair out of his eyes while writing sups. His bubbling personality will un¬ doubtedly lead him to succeed in his chosen field. PAUL RIOME: Jean-Paul could often be heard splashing about the dark room, copying pictures from Black’s library. Paul’s deftness at hand¬ ling a lacrosse racket made his opponents green with envy, but Paul, a modest guy could never be heard croaking about it. Raul’s eyes seemed to develope a slight negativity as he worked long hours to obtain a R.R. scholarship. Paul’s ambition is to become a doctor, but he will probably become un medecin” 13

MARK STETHEM: Monsieur Stethem, who hails from la belle province, which is somewhere near P.E.I., wasapre- fect who ran his kingdom from a horizontal throne. Constant desire for biological knowledge gave him the strongest arms in the school. These he put to good use on the football field, and in field events. Mark wants to be an oceanographer, and his wide knowledge of aquatic life should stand him in good stead with his vocation. BRIAN DARK: Fang, Southport’s pet ghoul, could be seen continuously out for blood on the soccer field. Brian seemed to have trouble scaring up answers in Maths this year, but no matter how ridicu¬ lous his responses were, Fang’s toothy grin usually accompanied them. Frank’s sinister exterior could not conceal his spirited nature, and we are sure that his future life will be a howling suc¬ cess. CLIVE McEWEN: Paddy, Ireland’s offering, was the school’s best all-round athlete, although not quite in Black’s class. His grin was a welcome addition to the S.J.R. star-gazers club. McEwen occupied his hor¬ izontal throne to such an extent that he had an overhead desk. Perhaps the only one on the farm who could go on with the career of a pro-athlete, Clive, it seems, is off to Dublin in the morning. A good student, Clive aspires to be a doctor and expires 24 hours a day. GEORGE BLACK: If George couldn’t be found roving about the halls, he could be found dreaming of puppy love. One of the finer athletes in the sixth (???) George spent much of his time trying to culti¬ vate and co-ordinate his elegant walk. Black was continually in the doghouse with Mr. Ainleyfor missing the gravy-train back from Portage, but Woofer’s self- spoken intelligence enabled him to lick any trouble. Ambition - Rule the world. Fate - Owned by Shandro. CHARLES ANDISON: Charlie, who likes the simple rural life, worked hard during his twelve years at S.J.R., and, in doing so, has received great re¬ spect for, and from, his Elders. Rasthmus was a top student, whose quick wit never ceased to amaze Mr. Gorrie. Charlie has played senior lacrosse and often resembled Jimmy Brown as he stick-handled through the team. Charlie’s favorite song is Paint it Black; his favorite saying is Smile”, and his ultimate fete is a chimney sweep. 15
