Warren .Mclnenly won the City Amateur Wrestling Ch ampionship, while Wayne Herron was runner-up. Ron Stewart and John MacRae distinguished tl enselves on the basketball team. Seven-sixteen was given the responsibility of planning the grade VII social evening, held on February 8. Joyce McMullen sang and Lonnie Tate played the piano. Both were ftry entertaining. Eddy Schey and Helen Sheddon are on the Library Committee. Eddy is very accomr- plished at painting posters and helped out in this way. All in all, seven-sixteen has had a very active year. 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.

(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.

The award is intended to give recognition to boys in the city who have demonstrated qualities of lea ' r:-hip r unselfishness, interest in public service and good living in thei - dail ' live Also- the project is designed to emphasize a positive rather than negative approach to the ko aD ' cd teen-age problem . DAVID POSS •V • • • ' L Charles David- Ross, prei ' erfoly , . ; C v ' v..k was presented the twelfth in its ' series of Boy of the’Month awards for the mr:h of October, 1956- Owing- to’ the nrivre of his fat hews r jition with the California Standard Oil Company, Chuck, Toronto bom ; ho. lived in many places in Canada and the Uhited States.

In grade six • Fl¬ at Killarney School, Chuck received r.u Academic award and then in grade eight at Viscount Bennett, he vor. a General Frof-c: ncy award. After attending either McGill or the University of Alberta, Chuck hopes to become a doctor, although he is also care¬ fully considering the teaching profession. Of course, whichever Chuck chooses, his high marks and general school standing will be behind him to back him up. Sports have taken up a good deal of Chuck’s time, but have been well worth it, both for Chuck and our school. IF played on the school basketball team and is now taking part in track. Next year he will work for the school again, this time on the football field. Among Chuck’s many interests arc the Press Club and the Leaders’ Corps, in .loth of which he is a very important figure.. A handsome and athletically built young nan, Chuck is interested in popular music and girls. When asked his opinion cn the subject cf girls, he replied, They’re 0„.K„ but schoolwork comos first. Twice on the Honour P.oll, Chuck plans to take Senior Matriculation at Viscount Bennett next year. Wo all hope he’ll stay on after that through grades eleven and twelve, because we certainly enjoy kavir. % him around. Maureen McKinley.
