GRADE 3 BR. MALVEY and boarder Jack Lavan enjoy friendly chatter. Grade Three rounds out the triumvirate of Primary Grades. Here, over forty anxious students absorb the teaching and sparkling personality of their intellectual mentor, Br. Malvey. The studies are more difficult. The Curriculum expands to cover the rudiments of Elementary Science and Geography, and pens are the “order of the day”, rather than the pencil. Perhaps more important, to the boys, at least, is the fact that they can take part in the school’s well-oraganized “Biddy” Basketball program. Each day during the season finds them anxiously awaiting their coach, Br. Malvey, to open the portals of the school’s “other gym” — the parish hall. Here they sharpen up their shooting eyes towards the day when they can represent the school in inter-school competition. Br. Malvey describes them as a wonderful group with indomitable spirit — religiously, intellectually, and physically. JUNIOR SIZED picture dictionary helps R. Chalm- ers and R. Welters add to their vocabulary. HOMEWORK must be done well in Grade 3. S. Wright uses pencil eraser to correct mistakes. LUNCH TIME conference with T. Leahy, W. McClay, R. Dumont, A. Tomlinson, D. Selzer, J. Schilling, 22 H. White.
