The head department manager is no one else but Alex Moodrcy who in the year 1949 showed the IOC class that he had the mind of a business man. A little farther down the street on the Palace Theatre marquee, we sec that the famous, glamorous movie actress Edith Weir, is starring in an inspiring movie, written, directed and produced by Johnny Romanchuk, the multimillionaire. Across the street in the world s largest drug store wc see the head pharmacist Fred Balkwill, filling out a prescription for Joan Shiells, who always seems to he sick. A little farther down the street wc shake hands with Windsor ' s first woman mayor.

We also see John Bake pushing a baby buggy down the street. We arc now in the vicinty of W.C.I. As we walk down these familiar halls, wc peek into the Latin class where we see that Donna Harrison is teaching a class of forty wide-eyed students. Carol McDougall is also teaching in one of the new French rooms which is situated in the new wing of the school. The two teachers of Physical Train¬ ing look familiar. Oh yes, of course! They are Mac Yakovlev and Bill Schauwccker. In the first row of the French class we see that Mr. Klinck is still hope¬ lessly trying to pound French into the heads of Joan Shaw, John Sleziak. and Helen Jarecki. The same thing is happening in the Math class with Jean Edwards. Elizabeth Btuld anil Mary Love. We take a peek into the newspaper again and we find that Craig Allan has been given a ten year contract as a comedian with the Boh Hope Programme. On the society page we see that Doreen. Jacqueline, and Ethel have become prominent debutantes in New York. What about me, you ask? Don ' t you remember? You bought some peanuts from me only half an hour ago! DOUGLAS KOVACK, IOC.

r Hear ye, hear ye ! Whereas of this date, and on any other day for that matter, I proclaim that social functions play a vital part in moulding the characters of the students. Walkerville Social Crier! As the first assembly of the year closed last September, there was a great scurry to exchange cheery greetings with old classmates, but many of these familiar faces were missing. The educational year began to buzz along quickly, but not as quickly as the whirl of the social circle. Walkerville social functions were significantly introduced in the first weeks of October. We had barely settled down to our studies when three successful tea dances bore down on us. The first was held in the gym by our cadet officers. The Oirls’ Athletic Society then staged another dance in the form of a roundabout. This gave the girls their opportunity to approach the members of the football team for a dance. A third tea dance was sponsored by the orchestra and the dancers listened to the talent of their school. As old Mr. November peeked around the cor¬ ner. he saw excited girls casting meaningful glances at their heroes. Poor old Mr. November had to stop for a few minutes to decode these unspoken messages. Then it dawned on him that on the twelfth day of his reign the very popular Gamblers’ Gambol was to be held in the school gymnasium. Soon the eventful day arrived. The gym looked just as it should have, with dice, cards and all the significant decorations that the Social Committee of the Agora could think of. A great success as usual, the dance was the topic of conversation for many weeks. Unfortunately, certain unforgettable old demons were creeping up on us in the form of examinations and social activities were suspended until Commencement Night in December, when our graduates returned to receive their diplomas and pins. After the exercises and the heart¬ warming valedictory, the graduates and their friends went up to the gym to dance and get acquainted again. Winter having arrived in all its glory (minus snow), many students ate their lunch at school and appreciated very much the movies that were shown in the auditorium from 12:30 to 1 :00. At last the winter roundabout dance promised to us. was held on December 29, during the Christmas holidays. The “Walkerville hirl was such a success that it is to become an annual affair. Traditional mistletoe, holly and poinsettia sketches were placed in prominent spots and dominating the scene was a bigger than life-size, sparkly snowman. For the second year, the Girls’ Athletic Associ¬ ation successfully staged their fashion show with the co-operation of the C. H. Smith Company. They chose the first day of March for the twelve lovely models to show the latest in Windsor fashions. I know you could practically guess which girls were chosen for the models but just in case you can’t, they were Lonni Richardson, Marilyn Miller. Eden Lancaster, Cecile Jacques. Sandra Heffernan. Lorraine Duffin, Carol Davies.
