BOY OF THE MONTH AWARDS ROBERT CLARKE , . .. We are proud to have at Viscount Bennett, the recipient of the September, 1956 Boy of the Month award winner, Robert Dalton Clarke. Bob was born in Wetaskawin, Alberta, but since his mother was nursing in various hospitals, he has travelled all over the province. Before he came to Calgary five years ago, he lived in such places as Hanna, Magrath and Kindersley, Saskatchewan. In Calgary he has attended Parkdale, Glengarry, Melville Scott and now Viscount Bennett schools. This tall, well mannered young man received his award mainly for his work for three years at the Cerebral Palsy dormitory with the crippled children. During this time he helped his mother, then matron of the home, with the housework, did odd jobs and enter¬ tained and assisted the tvrelve children, aged three to twelve years, living at the dormitory. Bob ' s favourite sports are basketball and rugby, but since he has only been with us since January, he has not become active in clubs or sports. He is an A student in school, his favourite subjects being Social, Science and Math. In his spare time at home he does leatherwork for a hobby. As his mother ' s only child. Bob has been a credit to his family. After completing grade XII in Calgary, Bob plans to attend university to become a geologist. This pleasant, nice-looking young man of fourteen is in class 0-15, Miss Leggat ' s room. , When asked his opinion of Elvis and Rock ' n ' Roll , Bob replied with a smile, It ' s O.K. I guess . On the subject of girls, at first he declined an opinion, but later admitted that some were O.K. We hope Bob completes his schooling here at Viscount Bennett and were sure he will be an asset to this,school.

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. At the early age of two, he moved zo Calgary and then to oil camps at Taber and Prin¬ cess, Sweetwater, Texas claimed the r.iict eight months of Chuck’s life and from there he came back to Calvary, only to me •; again - this time to Edmonton, After two years of living in Edmonton, Cr ;k moved back to Calgary, where he has lived since 1953.

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.
