Ecomm This year’s boxing option included some of last year’s boys: Gavin Smith, Ross McKnight and John Hutchings. New boys to our option this year are Alex Dampier, Tom Knight, Rene Dufaut, Lionel Whittaker, Alan Kiddell and Munroe Myers. Mr. Harding was our instructor. He issued 16 ounce gloves to each of us and then proceeded to teach the basic fundamentals beginning with footwork and the On Guard” position. Upon mastering these, we then engaged in contact drills such as jabbing, jab and block, jab, block and counter to head or body. These periods which took place each Friday were climaxed by a series of short sparring sessions. The pairing of boys was done by size and weight. Apart from a few cut lips and the odd bleeding nose we have all enjoyed taking part in this option. Special mention to Gavin Smith (our best boxer) who took charge of these sessions on several occasions when Mr. Harding was absent. All the group wants to thank Mr. Harding for his time and help. He taught us a great deal about self- defence and respect for our fellowman. This year there were so many boys who wanted to shoot that it was necessary to hold a competition to de¬ cide who should be allowed to enter. The top fifteen shots were taken into the Shooting Option, and are now working towards the Dominion Marksman awards. Already we have several boys who have qualified for their Silver Awards, and by June, we hope to have some Gold Awards. One encouraging factor for the future is the number of boys in the lower grades who are shooting consis¬ tently well. This means that some of them may be able to qualify for the rather more difficult awards in the future. Our thanks must go to the St. Charles Pistol and Revolver Club who last year presented us with a hand¬ some and impressive trophy to be awarded to the best shot in the school. Lastyear it was won by David James, and this year the winner will be decided on the basis of the best average score shot throughout the year. At present the competition is wide open, but an average of better than 97 out of 100 will probably be necessary. %etkma There are three cars, in various states of disrepair, sinking slowly into the sand under the Arena. Unfor¬ tunately, the enthusiasm for purchasing these cars has not carried over very successfully into much being done about their ailments. A fair amount of successful work has been carried out on Mark Stethem’s car, which should, with luck, convey him in reasonable comfort to Montreal in the summer. The fate of the other two cars seems to be annihila¬ tion in a crusher, after an expensive tow-job. Perhaps they should have suffered this fate months ago, rather than their present state of ignominious neglect. This year’s Economics Option under the leadership of Mr. Penaluna, was Ravenscourt’s attempt to enlighten as many boys as were interested in World Trade and Finance. The option involved six boys: Brian Spooner, who related the Theory of Comparative Costs to basketball, and was duly fouled out; John McNichol, who found Economics gave him a slight case of indigestion; John Stanton, who always managed to remain demure and despite Bugg’s insistence the Unity was indeed the hub of World Trade; Ed Myers, whose economics ability will go into drafting a pension plan for this year’s ver¬ sion of the Toronto Maple Leafs; Tom Bugg, the intel¬ lectual and financial prince of the Banking World; and Clive McEwen, whose brilliant philosophy concerning the manipulation of the buck, astounded without ex¬ ception, all members of this money-minded assemblage. We would like to thank Mr. Penaluna for taking on this monumentous task of attempting to expound finan¬ cial theory on the abysmally ignorant and mentally- handicapped. Such a fardel is weight enough for any¬ one to bear. However his efforts were well worth what work he put into our meetings, for after no more than five gatherings the world suffered its worse financial cri¬ sis in thirty years. May next year’s Economists have even better results. ' 7 kotCHjwfiluf This year the Photography Option had nine mem¬ bers, six of whom were beginners in developing films and printing the negatives. Paul Riome assisted Mr. McCracken in teaching the members of the club the many different factors involved in creating a photograph and making that photograph visible to the human eye. The Photography Option members used a dark room in the basement of the gymnasium where they performed their numerous operations. The room was small, and particularly stuffy when all the members were present. At the end of a busy day, the dark room would contain a collection of photographic paper, negatives, and rubbish, all of which, to the members concerned, symbolized work well done. 42
