GRADE FIVE BUSIEST IN THE GRAMMAR SCHOOL Grade 5’s known as the busy bees” of the grammar school. In- cluded in their numerous activities are band, library, glee club, tumbling, basketball, and boxing. Wayne Cotter was the pride of Grade 5 after winning a trophy in the Bronze Gloves tournament. The class was also in charge of the fishpond at the Mother’s Annual Spring Carnival. In Geography, which was a new subject to them this year, they learned numerous things about Canada and the United States. The students also studied the various phases of grammar in Language class. The Seven Sacraments were the topic for learning in Religion. David Wallbaum and Brian McCarry were two of the more advanced students. Grade 5 ranked high in the sale of tickets for the Emerald Gloves, and did very well in all the other drives during the school-year. At the end of the year when examinations were given, all the boys studied very hard to pass their subjects as they were looking forward to a successful year in Grade 6. HE SHOOTS! The goalie makes a miraculous save! John Ewanus and Peter Lane take advantage of the short spell of cold weather to play a bit of hockey. BROTHER HILL gives Douglas Hale and Andre McDonald a few extra hints about various lessons the boys have learned during the school week. RICHARD PEASON takes time out between one of Brother Hill’s classes to stop and admire a picturesque scene posted in the back of the class-room. 14

G. EWONUS AND T. DESCHNER GET EDUCATED FROM OWN LIBRARY GRADE FOUR 1957 ' s VARIETY CLASS Due to the unfortunate illness of Brother Flaherty at the beginning of the school year, Grade Four has had the unique experience of being taught by no less than five Brothers. Brother Gerardo took over the class about the middle of February and all the boys in Grade four say he’s the most.” In sports, they had a very good basketball team which practiced every afternoon. Grade Four sup- ported all school activities fully, giving most generously to the missions, attending games, and exceeding their quota on the sale of tickets. They were the first class in V.C. history to build up their own library. With the able assistance of Br. Flunt, school librarian, the boys brought their own books to school and conducted their own library on the same system as the school library. They were good students, good sports, and had good school spirit. What more do you want? SPRING IS SPRUNG!

Some of the oustanding scholars are: Ian Blake, Marc McGarth, and William Stewart. Active in extra-curricular activities as well, the students, outside of school, made a survey of the Old Testament with a special emphasis on the Redemption. Lesile Roltak’s Rams composed of Grade sixers won the 6-team football league Championship in a thrilling climax against the league-leading Barracudas. A basketball team was in league action from January to the end of March. The boys gave an excellent account of themselves in the Christian Brothers Auxiliary Drive which took place at the first of the year. Because of their part in all activities, Grade 6 spent a most memorable year. EAGER-BEAVERS, MARC McGRATH AND MIKE McLAREN ARRIVE ON TIME (CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE 15
