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

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.

GRAMMAR SCHOOL (cont.) GRADE SEVEN THE FORWARD LOOK Smiling faces and happy hearts are first impressions given by this year’s Grade 7 class. C. Hicks led the class with a 90% average. Activity-wise, the class was among the leaders in the sale of Carnival tickets, advertisements, and mission collections. Three class news- papers flourished, with the best monthly edition chosen as the Grade 7 Class Paper. In the world of sports,” Mike Hurley and Charlie Lipp played on the midget basketball team which won the Lower Mainland Championship. The spiritual phase of their education was not neglected however, a weekly Communion Club being formed. Grade 7 is undoubtedly the class to watch in future years at V.C. BR.
