GLASS 10-30 : When a pungent odour seeps through the corridors and you hear the clatter of test- tubes - yes it ' s none other than 10-30, alias 10-1, preparing a new destructive, chemical under the CAREFUL supervision of Hr. Gee, our homeroom teacher. i! i ; Among our VERY studious students, Jim Dunsmoor (president of the Students 1 Council) and r Kathy McDaid-were chosen to be 10-30 ' s representative to the Students ' Council, while Leroi Herrod, runner and Sandi Robinson, class president, were kept busy through¬ out the term with various classroom duties. Ten -thirty has quite a reputation-for being.(?) so some teachers say. In math class, for example, we’re eager to learn; Social Studies seems to make us think; English to most of us presents a problem; and Science - oh our marksl Athletically-wise Nick seems to excel both in basketball and track, but the major¬ ity of us prefer to participate.spectatingl It was the Houseleague Mixed Volleyball which stirred a lot of enthusiasts away from the lunchroom table to enjoy many a noon hour playing this sport. Andso as the year draws to an end, We have almost completed the first major step to a successful high school career. The best of luck to you,10-30, and to the future pupil who will occupy our classroom. • Ruth Coe. CLASS 10-32 Class 10-32 started off the year-in room 11 in the old wing. After we became acquainted with Mr, Wilcox, we elected our class officers. Greg Horton was elected room president; yours truly, vice president; Enid Donovan, room secretary, Jack Truran,line monitor and Judy Armfield and Robbie Gray, Students ' Council representatives. As Robbie moved later in the year, Greg Horton took his place in the council, and has continued 1 to serve us ever since. During the month of March, we moved over to Room 32 in the new wing. Although this room vas intended for science, it is ideally suited for the teaching of social studies, having two glass cabinets for books and two fine committee tables. There was some talk of moving the teachers to new rooms at the end of the year, but we can imagine Mr. Wilcoj barricading himself in Room 32 with copies of Philip ' s and New ' s Ancient and Mediaeval History and resisting to the end. Despite our favourable surroundings, our success and happiness as a class this year has been largely due to the individuals who make it up. Mr. Wilcox started off the year by informing us that back seats were one dollar, middle seats fifty cents, and front seats nothing and has kept us pleasantly amused and interested ever since. Judy Armfield our top scholar, has headed the honour roll every tine, but has had keen competition froii several other students in our class. Few people care to face the usually good-natured Stan Black arid Allan Smith iri wrestling. In addition, Stan has taken part in almost all our other sporting activities, becoming Mr. Hodgert ' s right hand man. We have also had many other hard-workers, and future students in this room will have a hard job to match the achievements of the first 10-32. John Ower

A LULW. ' N ' 1 ✓ ■i i KJJ CLaSS 10-23 We’come in a marvellous..,assortment of shapes, colours and sizes. We ape few in number,-but I ■. think most teachers find that Class 10-23.can rival any room’in the school when it comes to the art of noise-making. Who are the people that compose-.a class like . ours? Of course every room needs a practical joker like everyone ' s pal, Charlie. La Donne seems to keep Bruce in gales of giggles with her impersona¬ tions of Marilyn Monroe and Charles Boyer. When it comes to arguirfg, I know 10-23 has the school champs, Ray and Heather, who can argue about almost anythingl Before classes commence. Miss Jagoe, our home room teacher usually hears a variety of comments like this . Confucious say. r ' v li- Jan is covered with little red spots you kids! . and Jackie, you just should have seen him! . Aww, be quiet you kids while Helen (madams president) reads the notice. Our small class has done more than its share in the school ' s activities. We were E lways well— represented when it came to athletics, drama, cheerleaders, and service lubs. We have complained about assignments from time:to time. Most of us have received a goose-egg on more than one test.; But on the whole, I ' d say We ' ve all had a good |year in 10-23. Marietta. Dorgan. : , , - CUSS 10-25 it:O ' Yakkity-yak, screech, clatter: Quiet Puleesel! This is what you can hear pouring forth from 10-25 ' as soon as you step into the Senior High wing. All the teachers will certify that 10—25 is the noisiest of the grade 10 classes. However, when the class settles down, it is usually a model class (Ahem), Our class is full of characters. There is an.abundance of clowns, a variety of nuts, and the occasional sprinkling of those misplaced souls who feign to be studious, hiss MacDonald, the French and English teacher (and psychologist) has to cope with this group both during and after school hours. She and the.rest of the class would have leart failure if Bob Froelich actually arrived on time two days in a row. Also it appears that Jim Kelly and Billie Metcalfe may be starting a library of their own at the expense of the school ' s facilities. Our class has an executive of sorts: Bob Froelich, President, and Ismay Jempson, Vice-President, John Rollingson is the Runner and of late Seigfried Epp has been carrying the daybook, though he rarely can find it. I think the whole class will agree that 10-25 was a very good place to spend grade 10. Lorna Kinder.

GRADE VIII CLASS HISTORIES CLASS 8-8 We, the pupils of Room 8-8, Have good things and bad things to relate. . : Boys and girls to the sum.of thirty-eight. Some have a nasty habit of being;late. Mrs. Ghitter, our. teacher, a gem in lecture and test, While in P.T.. she ranks with the very best. In April, Miss Carson came to take her place, A’more superior teacher couldn ' t be found in any ' race. On .the ' -Honour Roll vie rank seven. And on the Improvement List vie have eleven. I ' m afraid our room isn ' t very quiet. As there is always someone who is a riot. In.sports vie aren ' t very often at the top As there is always someone who is a flop. In Drama, you should see us act, It sounds true, but it isn ' t a factl Our Principal we love and admire. He has inspired us with a service that is much higher. A generation shall arise under his hands. To new scholastic heights which is everyone ' s plan. Brian Sykes, Ronnie Schey and Marilyn Mann • CLASS 8-11 ■ In our class we ' ve had a very exciting year with our teacher W. A. Cooke. Our class ■irst started out in the Electric Shop just across from the Drafting Room where Mrs. ■oneychurch was holding down the fort. The shop was a very good classroom to wander around. When we moved to Room 11, it seemed small and crowded, but we soon settled do™ and got things nicely arranged. In our room, as most of you know, there is never a dull moment. How could we be Better entertained than by one of Mr. Cooke ' s drama classes in practice or by one of ■Ur own class members in an attempt to get a rise out of the class, Mrs, Honeychurch would be quite aware of this as many times we saw her close her door to exclude the rolls ot laughter which rolled across the hallway. Like all other classes, we have had a good year. Chuck Titterington. I ; • CLASS 8-12 I We, the members of Class 8—12, alias 8-D, do leave this solemn record to remind you ■f-our numerous escapades. . f ith sound bodies but somewhat feeble minds, we began the term under the motherly guidance of Mr. Ramsey. However, Room 12 vias not to know the glory of our deeds for ' : long. With some regret we settled down in Mr. Rhodes drafting room where Mrs. Honey- ■hurch was to cast lots with us for the remainder of the year. Mrs. Honeychurch vias not for some time to know .peace and qui ' et for the grade 8 section of the Viscount Bennett band, complete with musicians, horns and lunch bags, loved in.
