(Continued) ACTIVITIES ' From the Christmas holidays we came back in a trance, And started to prepare for a Valentine’s dance. In March, the school needed money made, So we elected Welsh and Hade. Even though we didn ' t win the crown, We sure tried hard to canvass the town, April came as did indoor track. And 7-13 was far from the back. April ' s gone and here it ' s May And looking back over all the days, T, ' e ' ve really had a pretty good term. But thinking of June tests makes us squirm. Then after exams all of us (we hope) Will try and catch the grade 8 boat, But when we look back, it will be in gloom. When we think of 13, which was our home roomi CLASS 7-14 Pat Campbell Loraine Wade Lynda Hodges. JuniorV L w 001 ' T 5 1 ? ° ne f ° r us since 11 was our first entrance to n or High School.

CLASS 8-22 (Continued) talking slowly to their next class - Mr. Gee si (Many questions have come up about Mr. jee - is he really a master in the field of torture?) What will his next prank be? That was the question that arose in the minds of the students. We were nearing his room, the front monitor slowed Up near the door, afraid to go in. As 8—22 entered, a strange object was seen on Mr. Gee ' s desk. As we sat down, Mr, Gee called for a volunteer. (To ir. Gee, a volunteer is one he picks himselfi) and a young boy was brought up. Mr, Gee told him to hold the ends of the wire which were attached to the strange object. Slowly Ir. Gee turned a crank on the side of this contraption. The boy jumped, as he felt a surge of electricity through him. From the strange cries of the boy and the hilarious laughter of the class, it looked and sounded as if Elvis Presley had just made an un¬ expected ap earance. Well, you can guess what happened. Mr, Gee is not really the mad scientist, but is a close secondjq (Please don ' t take this seriously, Mr. Gee - we still love youi) The story you have just read was true and the name of the machine was omitted to protect the innocent. What a coincidence - another incident happened the same dayl It all started by the girls ' lockers in the hall. One of our chattering clan entered by wearing a hoop too Large for her skirt. (Poor soull) She started into the classroom and got safely through the door, but getting into her desk was another story. She bunched her skirt before making an attempt to sit down, but found out there was not enough room for both the hoop and her - one had to got She was so embarrassed by this time that she made her way out of the room, amid gales of laughter. Five minutes later, she re-appeared, minus the hoop and made her way into the room, to her seat, with no difficulty. We are sorry that this person happened to get out of the bed on the wrong side, and we hope you don ' t! . . : .

Eddy Schey Diane Stackhouse Lonnie Tate. CLA SS 7-17 One of the first things 7-17 did this year was to elect class officers. These ftre Wayne Dobson, who was elected president, A1 Weins, who became vice-president, Sandra ■.sher, our efficient secretary, Cheryl Richardson and Clive Cox, who made us walk the si raight and narrow path all year and our council representatives, Pat Dorgan and Clive Cc c. We started off the. sports season with the boys in first place in the grade seven Bfcrdenball match. Our girls did not do quite so well, but were in the volleyball finals. 1 Several individuals from 7-17 have made outstanding achievements in other fields, ■.chard Wiringa won .the .literary contest in the Viscount Version for his story I’m ■ming In , Judy Mason of 7-17 was the only girl in grade seven to be chosen as a ' cheerleader. 1 Our class as a whole also stands out. For Mr. Cooke’s Drama Night, vie sold more ■ckets than any other room in the school,,. Seven-seventeen was acclaimed the second ■atest grade seven room. ' 11 - n all, our success this year is largely due to Mr. Semkuley, our patient and ■od-natured teacher. .We are leaving .him very ' scon now, but we are sure that future B-17 ' s will profit greatly from his, guidance,. ; CLA PP 7- 1 8 Lynn, Barbara ' .and Elaine in row one. Never seem, to get their homework done. Paul, Barry and William in row two, Their subjects done are very few. Anita, Chiquita and Shirley in row three,. Are the smartest students of rows 1, 2 and 3. Jerry, Don and Dennis in row four, Always find their hands very sore. Ken, Sharon and Susan in row five. Just don ' t like homework so they go for a dive. Yet our teacher Mr. Dow has his own little row. Probably wishes he could roll us into dough. Karan Zelmer.
