BOYS ' ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION Don Doyle, John Loucks , Steve Cunningham, John Fisher, Bob Crossman, Randy Petrie, Ceasare Paola, Barry Kirk, Bill Jones, Bill Richards. This year the Boys ' Athletic Association sponsored many things and has plans for many more. Club President, Bob Crossman, had great support for his many endeavours, such as: bringing the Harlem Stars to Northwestern; the selling of beanies and pennants; the student tuck shop and picnic area. This year the club helped to sponsor Garnet and Grey Day as well as hhe Winter Carnival teams entered by our school. This was a group of fine individuals working for the promotion of our school and they all deserve a special note of thanks. So to the boys and Mr. McMillan, the chief advisor, thank you for many jobs well done. The school yearbook, I think it ' s swell. The day it ' s issued I run pell-mell To buy a copy And read each line The stories and jokes I think are fine When I praise the book I scorn those who laugh I ' m really faithful, I ' m on the staff.

GYMNASTICS CLUB FRONT: Ken Crawford, Claus Koeppe, George Davis, BACK: Bob Etue, Alec Kelly, Bruce Comley. For a school with a student body as large as ours, the number of boys and girls interested in gymnastics is very small. The girls outnumber the boys by a ratio of two to one. This is very unusual in that, in most parts of the world, gymnastics is a sport dominated by men. The gymnastic club was asked to put on a display between the first and second halves of a Basketball game. Considering the short notice which the boys received in which to prepare, and considering that we did not have a complete rehearsal, and considering they had never performed in a display of this kind, the boys put on a show in which they can be justly proud. The girls unfortunately could not take par t in the display as most of their team was away playing basketball. Gymnastics is a sport which requires a tremendous amount of co-ordination between mind and body, stamina and muscle control. If you have the former two and are prepared to take a few hard knocks aquiring the latter there is no reason why you too cannot become a gymnast.
