THE TWIG Has had a very creditable athletic record. Swings a mean tennis racket. Boxer, Dick An expert hockey player who adds a tower of strength to the first team. ln addition to his hockey prowess, Dick shoots a nice game of golf at Rosedale. One of the six world champions in ping- pong domiciled in VA. Boyd, David A newcomer from Port Credit High School. Hard plunging linesman on the first rugby team. A very modest lad, who says he indulges only in swimming, hockey, golf, basketball, and tennis, but we will reserve judgment on some of these accomplishments. Brunton, Jack The backbone of our first rugby team. Kicks tremendous punts, and can be counted on to hurl a bullet pass when it is most needed. Jack had four cracked ribs when he managed to pull the Picker- ing game out of the fire by tossing I7 completed forward passes. An all-round fine fellow. Bryce, John Tubby is a very fine swimmer, but is an absolute danger on a golf course. Bafiles Mr. Petrie and the rest of the class with complicated Geometry solutions. He usually manages to get a couple of sum- monses a week by knocking over a build- ing or two. Clark, Basil Basil is continually upsetting the classes by understanding chemistry entirely too well. A Model School lad who is usually in the first dozen when the reports are handed out. Cohen, Leonard Leonard came to our school one moment- ous day, five years ago, from Hillcrest Public School. He is the hard-working publicity manager of school theatricals, and is so very happy that Latin is off the curriculum this year. Dalrymple, William The rugby team lost a fine prospect when Bill broke his nose early in the season. but he will be out for hockey. Bill is heap big chief of the l23rd Scout Troop. Donaldson, Alan Al is a fast-skating forward on our first hockey team. If he looks a bit ruffled at times, it is because he has been trying to tame his old Ford. That's a real job, take it from me. French, Eric Eric is undoubtedly a Mathematical mar- vel, and certainly is suited for his hoped- for job of teaching Mathematics. l-le catches anything and everything in the baseball field. Frewer, Fred I5 years old. Vice-president of the Athletic Association, and there couldn't be a better choice. Freddy stars in rugby and hockey, especially the latter. An unequalled baseball pitcher, who claims that he is a tricky handler of a ping-pong racquet. Good in his studies too. l-lolclen, John John has been with us for three years, after leaving Central Tech. in disgust. He is usually thinking about amateur radio when Mr. Petrie breaks in upon his reverie. John has Viking blood in his veins, and can explain what utackingn, jib , and utopsailn mean. Jennings, David Dave cleaves the waves in majestic style as a member of the swimming team. ls one of Mike Rodden's unsung heroes, who has a lot of real ability. Dave is better than average with a golf club in his hands. Expects to join Bill Stewart's gang of puck-shooters. Kerwin, George This is George's second year at U.T.S., having emigrated from Guelph last year. l-le makes his 215 pounds felt on the first rugby team. George finds both golf and chemistry a bit mystifying. Laidlaw, Jack Jack is our child prodigy, being only I4 years of age. ls a flashy backfielder on

THE TWIG the IZO pound team, and shows great promise. Jack warmed us all up by dis- carding his short pants a few weeks ago. A good scholar. Love, Cage Known as the debutante's delight. ln spite of this handicap Gage sets a high example in tennis and rugby. ls one of the fastest swimmers the school pos- sesses, and plays a fine game of golf. lVIcConvey, D'Arcy D'Arcy has worn a path to the school for eight years. ls a good tennis player and will probably make first team when basketballers turn out. ls an expert on quick excuses. Mitchell, Douglas We acquired Doug. from U.C.C. this year, and, from all reports, he is quite a prize. We hear that he is a scoring punch on any hockey team. Attends school very irregularly, but we've seen him once, Mould, Norman Norm has been with us for seven years, and is a juvenile Paderewski. He even has numerous students to whom he im- parts some of his musical knowledge. Hopes to be a freshman at S.P.S. next year. Robb, Lex Lex says that he is going to help the basketball team out this year by his valuable services. He thinks that soft- ball is too sissified for him, and has formed a hard-ball team of his own. He is continually under Col. Cline's observa- tion. Robertson, Fraser Fraser has spent more than half his life in the school. Claims that Fred Perry is afraid of him. He startles everybody by using words like ubiquitous and he vows Anthony Adverse didn't even warm him up. Sebert, Louis Was on IV A's hockey team last year, which brought forth such immortals as French, Sivers, and Kerwin. l..ou also lends another discordant note to the school symphony orchestra. Segsworth, Robert LeRoy That middle name means blood Hows through them veins Suh! Plays golf Cand what golfll in the summer, but is really in his element with skis. Bob has been with us one year after realizing the error of attending U.C.C. Singer, Vernon Vernon deprived Clinton Street Public School of his presence eight years ago. He can be counted on for a good game of tennis, but it takes a noble man to read his writing. Sivers, Jack Jack went strong man on us by heaving the discus tremendous distances this year. ln his five years at U.T.S. Jack has al- ways been near the top in his studies. Stockwell, Ronald Ronny ran with the greatest of ease to come in third in the cross country run this year. He was a debutante to U.T.S. in '30, Hopes to graduate in '36. ls a member of first swimming team, but we are sure he would go much faster if he had about two yards of his hair trimmed off. Sturgeon, Ralph Ralph has attained the high rank of Vice- President of the Literary Society, and absolutely overwhelms the guest speaker, and everybody else, with his orations of appreciation. Wrestles and boxes, and stands in graduation pictures. Was a very romantic Hotspur in Henry IV last year. Van Wyck, Donald Van, as he is known, presides over a mysterious bunch of switches in the auditorium, and does a smart job of the lighting. Sometimes the teacher's voice wafts him off to a gentle sleep. Wallis, Arthur Art, coming through the door after the bell rings, Heaven's, l'm late again . Staked his claim in U.T.S. nine long years ago. He misses his pal Plumbtree and 66
