Winblad make a suspended Nativity scene, which was one of the projects done before Christmas. GRADE TWO The well balanced Class In Grade two we find students who have had one year of studies in V.C. to their credit. A few of the boys have already began to take an interest in the various sports. During the fall, several learned the feel of a football, but when winter came, they changed their recess to the gym, engaging in such sports as basketball, tumbling, and boxing. Softball was played in the spring with the other Grammar school grades. The main activities included choral singing, which everyone enjoyed immensely at the Christmas concert. AS HE ADDS UP the total, John Grossmith wonders how much Grade Two has contributed to the Foreign Missions during the week; results were good. (CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE) 1 1

GRAMMAR SCHOOL TWO AND TWO MUST BE FOUR,” says G. Paris doing addition. WILLIAM NAVIN and Michael Hill apply some of their newly-found knowledge in interior decorating. FRANCIS LEAHY pauses a moment to admire one of the numerous impressive pictures pertaining to the life of Christ. GRADE ONE’S GRADS OF ’69 One step in their long journey This year’s Grade One Class received its start on the long road of future education under the capable direction of Br. Tomkins. Most of the boys rapidly learned their lessons in reading, printing, and the use of numbers and words, with John Day, Paul Patmore and Glen Pearson among the top students. Religion, an important part of their schooling, prepared the boys for the sacraments of Penance and Holy Eucharist. Grade One’s motto is, Everything we do, we do for you. Every thought we have, we give to you, dear Jesus.” They also enjoy their art period in which many of the students have shown signs of future possibilities. The boys occasionally trouble Br. Tomkins with such questions as Brother, why do you wear the black night gown to school?” Why do we have to do school work at home when we come to school to do it?” Thus, by asking questions, Canada’s future leaders gain im- portant knowledge.

Under the guid- ance of Br. Bucher, Grade three has excelled in their studies, as shown by outstanding students. Dennis McDonald, Peter Graham, and Stuart Grant. Excellence in sports has been exemplified by their ardent participation in the inter-grammar school basketball league.
