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.

Szakolczai. f t GRADE SIX THE HALFWAY MARK Grade 6 has built up the enviable reputation of being the most energetic class in the grammar school. 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

Efficacious Efforts Although on a smaller scale, the Grammer School Graduates have the same sense of elation as their senior counterparts over a job well done. Having fin- ished the first half of their career successfully they can now look forward to an even more eventful but demanding high school voyage. Looking forward to those exciting new subjects math- ematics, english, science, language and religion, they feel excited but confident in invading the higher hills of education. What they ultimately accomplish depends upon the diligence and dexterity with which each in- dividual applies himself to the pursuit. Graduation can be compared to the fording of a stream, with all the pitfalls and rapids, swirls and snags for the unwary. This year’s Grammar School Graduates have crossed the first half proudly. They can now stand on the platform with their consumation de- votely to be wished” achieved.
