Q ade utelae RICHMOND BYERS: Known for his shrewd obser¬ vations which he never expresses, our quiet boy’s main ambition is to attend school now and then. CHRISTOPHER DAFOE: Kit is XH-I’s poet laureate. Bright—Boy earns his money by writing poems for “Vox”. Our industrious debating chairman contin¬ ually worries about his full houses. DONALDA DALE: Preferably “Donnie”—a redhead, true, but no temper. Our linquist has an affinity for the drama—avec les yeux fermes. JANE DAVIS: President Dave’s little helper is a con¬ tinual contributor to the lost and found, hence she never has her minutes with her at student council meetings. A swell person! DAVID DRYBROUGH: An ex-Ravenscourt student, known as “Brow”. Also one of XH-I’s basketball stars. Dave is still trying to revolutionize Chemistry, and succeeds in confusing everyone. JOYCE FORD: Our little ink-bank never collects her ‘inkterest”. She believes in “Be Kind to Teacher” week, because she has suffered herself. TED FRANCO: We were sorry to see Ted go back to the U.S.A. after his sojourn in Canada. This boy could probably make a good engineer. DENNIS GONTY: XII-I’s politician and top history student. This boy plans to enter law after second year and will probably talk himself into a job at Ottawa. SHIRLEY GROSSER: XII-I’s set painter and spare¬ time common room decorator, directed the director of our stage efforts. Has a sense of humour no one else can understand. DENNIS HALFORD: Mr. Murray’s “loud boy” is very active in basketball and anything exciting, including hashing over Poetry lessons in Tony’s. Miss Mills seems to cramp his style. JOHN HEINRICH: His angelic tonsils, while they waft us to sleep, sound like a ‘ pain in the neck”. Al¬ though a musical virtuoso, his “forte” is sports. NORMAN HENTELEFF: Norm rides a G.W.T.C. bronco to school every morning. He will become an engineer and improve St. Mary’s highway. Always ready with a helping handout in French.

Resident of the Grand Beach vicinity he can be found lolling on the sand every week. Future: Science. MORRIS LEVSON: Miss Moore’s star pupil! He is very jovial and is always looking for new “buddies”. His main interest—French, natch. Plans to enter University. CAROL LONGLEY: Our valedictorian and prize win¬ ner. Always ’vyatohing “birdies” at the “ ' Club”. An all-round girl with a fur coat, and a huge asset to the class. MICHAEL GASSTON: A real pal to Rod and Dave, Mike is a part time Bay employee. He also comes very handy in the Chem. Lab. Should make a good chemist? Mike is a member of the crew-cut clan.

GEORGE MITCHELL: George gives the impression of toeing quiet and serious, but wait till you get to know him ... a friend of everyone and liked by all . . . especially the girls. What’s the attraction, George? SHEENAGH ORMISTON: That slender blond girl who spends 99 44 100% of her time studying. You can always depend on her to have her homework done. Her ambition is nursing.

DAWN WALSH: We sometimes wonder wl took such an interest to Chemistry. Could instructors, Dawn? Dawn was one of chorus girls from our room in the Stunt Ni LOIS WINESTOCK: Red (?) hair and a temper to match. Lois keeps the mailman between Winnipeg and L.A. busy (not to mention Minneapolis).
