ROBERT MORRISON Moe . . . the sort of guy who follows you into a revolving door and comes out first. Moe, as he is known to all the boys in Nails Nursery is not only elass president, but is one of the seleet few who can sleep in history and still come up with the right answer. However, his biggest asset is ability to act the hardroek and stlll keep himself surrounded hy those neeessities of life. i.e.. guess wot?? Most geniuses tilt are eoneeited, but I'm not. is a typieal quotation front this shy, retiring lad. t'A'I'lll-1IlINl'I POLLOCK Cathy With her erowning glory of golden hair Cathy gazes dreamily into the air. Cathy has put. aside a lot. of her doodling of last year to adopt. a more serious disposition as everyone should in Grade XII tnot that everyone does. thought. Cathy's a very likeable girl and an asset to our class. IIILARY RICIIAIIIIS Larry Sheriff Richards An elongated fugitive front Laehine, Larry has established himself as the number one lawmau in 209, and wears a hlg silver star to that effeet. As testimony to his speed in adapting himself to the West Hill environment, i.e. learning how to make time, we can refer to no better authority than Mr. Lewis, who, on oh- serving Larry's arm around one of his female lah assistants, was heard to exelaim. My, Riehards is qulte the Romeo, isn't he? Larry has expressed no ambition, but he seems the type who might do well hiring himself out as a ten foot pole for not touching people with. GUY RINFRET Disappear, llrando. I eat nails. This pillar of the Rat-k Row tries to eonvinee us that he is just about the hardest thing west of Gibraltar, but we don't take him seriously as eh has not eonvineed himself yet. Aetually he is not a bad head at all beneath that granite exterinr, and his grotesque humour is mueh in evldenee at the haek of the class, espeeially when laughing at a Cease joke. Ilis ambition is torn between being a bog exee. and wearing boots so people will think he is hard like Cease. DANNY St'll0LTZ One of I'op's bewildered math seholars, Danny can be found after trig, periods peering defiantly at the ehaotit' mass of figures left. on the hoard by that great man, and wondering if perhaps there VllSll'f a mistake in multipleation , as the great man is wont to term his goofs . Don't let it get you, Danny. it's only an ap- proximation, and anyway, we always have it to throw into the breach. AL SHELLEY Zombie Al's green sweater is a familiar landmark up in the front of 209. His astute remarks eau always be depended on to further the eonfusion of Mr. Carter's literary dissertations. These. along with the odd raucous laugh in Chemistry period, and a few eurses around exam time, are about all we hear from our Laval comrade. BILL SHORT The Chibougamou Kid And the farmer took another load away. . . Ol' Bill Shortt is known all over for his repertoire of the lousiest jokes this side of the Corn Belt. Speaking of belts, it shore is enough to make a man shed tears thinking of all the pore steers that died for the dubious honour of keeping Bill's pants up. liut then. think of the alternative. Apart from his jokes, l!ill's main topic of eonversation is the north eouutry and how he played Goose the Moose up in old Chibougamou. GAIL SIIROEDER Gail's a gal who s full of fun, With a smile as radiant as the sun. Gail is an ambitious type, unfortunately this is uncommon in our elass. She is going to Queens next year for a five year degree eourse in nursing. If she remains unattaehed that long we know she'll be the greatest nurse ever. KYLLI TEDER Rorn for SlIl'!'0SS she seems With grace to win, with heart to hold. With shining gifts that take all eyes. Kylli is one of the few in our class who keep the golden rlile between saying too nuu-li and too little. We all groan about the work but Kylli does something ahollt it - she retluees mountains into molehills in no time at all, ANN TIIIIRSTON A lover of books, a giver of smiles, But Ann's high marks are-n't due to he guiles. Following in her sister's footsteps Ann is doing very well in grade XII. The rest of the girls just ean't figure out how she manages to get those good marks in maths. A very eon- seientious person, Ann can be nothing but a sun-eess in life. MARVIA 'l'Il'ITGEN All that's best. of dark and bright, Meet in her aspect and her eyes. Mareia. who hails from Montreal West. is a real whiz at English, while her artistie talent is usually displayed during those long. long. Freneh periods. She's a girl who always welcomes a good joe even during Chemistry. Mareia plans to eontiuue at llueens. JUDY TODDS Gr, XII days have many delights. But ean't compare with a Gr. XII night. Judy's twinkling brown eyes seem to have attraction in our elass. Need we say more? Next year .ludy hopes to go to the Sehnol of Fine Arts of the Bell. She better decide in a hurry for we're sure she won't stay single too long l

BARBARA .IARDINE Happy am I: from care I'm free! Why aren't they all contented like me? .llarhara is our cheerful girl from Montreal lligh. She has a beautiful singing voice and a great fondness for English Literature tespecially the part of .lullet J, Wc're sure Barbara will he a big success in whatever she does. ERNEST .ltlllNS Ernie Another nf West llill's own, Ernie claims the distinction of knowing all the verses to North Atlantic Squadron . This, along with a few equally ehoiee selections, comments by Dave and lan. joes by Shortt. and phony stories by Wood, when present, comprises the average noon- hour. The singing visually stops just in time to see Mr. and Mrs. Richards alighting from the Tl!-2, whereupon all rush to the window to cheer the happy couple up the front walk. OLIVIA KlMl'TON Libby From Weston School eomes this fair lass Who certainly brightens up our class. In llistory she is Miss Wilson's delight llecausc she answers the questions right. Libby many witticisms are often the cause of giggling in 209, especially if l!ev's around. ller vocabulary is terrific and sometimes even amazes Doctor Leflaire. Libby is doing very well here and will do equally well at college next year. llEVl'1Rl.EY KNAPI' Rev A gay companionable friend Like lluckngham a perfect blend, liev's gay laughter usually fills the air in Grade Xll. We at the back wonder how she gets away with hat talking so close to the teacher's nose. lt's quite a skill! Bev tries very hard though. and will do well in the future. l'l'Il'Il. lilALINOFlt' Ct-asc Known variously as Cease the Kid. and Uisco. our frlend Cease is a source of great amusement to us all, though most of the time. we are laughlng with him, not at him. llc regards life as a great joke. but we regard Pease as a great joke, too. so there is small profit in that enter- prise. Cease has the enviable asset of being irresistible to the feminine element. llem. hem. We like his boots, too. May hc live forever and have a thousand children . . . llAVlll Mct10Mlll'I hate have dnesn't advertise. but we do know this- othcr hand. he plays a good game of football, on the bad side. he knows Gargano. On the good side he can't throw chalk for beans. doesn't talk much. and is very easy to get along with. There should be more like him. BILL McKINROY Hill Bacchus was my uncle, and he got rolling drunk. There were planets in his liquor can, And lizards in his bunk . . . tNo offence to your relatives, llill, we list lke that rhynie.i j Bill is about the only genuine hard-rock in the class, but is nonetheless a very quiet. and unassuming fellow. Ile passes his time reading notes from his many female admirers. about which he is very modest. Now and then he gives vent to a hoarse little chuckly. An institution around West Hill for many years. llill plans to take up engineering when he gets out, IAN lilcLAt'Hl,lN What's the sport of kings? Queens! Queens! Queens! lan had the harrowing experience of roaming with Moe and Scotty on the New York trip. hilt came through the ordeal with flying colours. as his pictures will show. llis camera is the root of a lot of uproar in 2051, as he has caught some of our beloved teachers in their off moments. shall we say? lan comes to us from West- mounl, and. as the caption would indicate. plans to go to Queens next year. WENDEIJ, MaeNAl'GllTtlN Waindle So o.k. so doan warry abaatt it. niaan . . . Poniplete with bouts, a phony Texas drawl. and a Shucks. 'twarn't nothing smile. Wendell has already become something of a legend in 209. Famed far and wide for his easy-going ability of telling people just where they can put. it. he drifts around amiahly chewing Lflllfl. reading Westerns, and thinking weighty thoughts llke sixteen tons. Vnimpressed by New York, Wendell ambled into Times Square on his Welllngtons, spat thoughtfully. and drawled, lley, maaan. what's the name a' this here town? , Wal. bless his peapicking heart . . . DAVID Ml'IBt'llAN'l' Wise tiny Peaeefully he slimbers there . . . llnlie Father James, llavo's blissful slutuhor is not that of rigor mortis. for though Dave gives the impression of being a very serious young scholar. he is actually just the opposite. Along with Ian. Ernie, and Dirty lion Wood. when present, have is thc centre uf the noun hour meetings. and can be relied on for much. light, dry, and sparkling repartce. MICHELLE METAYER She's so tiny with a voice so small Soemtlmes we wonder if she's here at all. And most, of the time she isn't. Like an angel sits Michelle gazing heavenward, Who cart that lucky male be? Although her future is undecided we'er sure it will be a bright one. ANNE MlLLAR Rusty ller eager chatter fills the air, Driving the teachers to despair. Rusty is one of the Montreal West. gang that has invaded our school. Ilcr personality is as bright as he hair and she can usually be found adding to the din in some corner of the room. We all wish her the best of luek next year when she heads for Mount. Allison to get her B.A.

DUN WlGllTON Shaggy Don Don is an unlucky member of the B. R. C. - by circumstance rather than choice. I-Ie hears the bmnt of Gargano's chalk raids, as Ron is a lousy shot and grooves his throws. However, Don's forced association with the scruff of the class tyes, Guyl has brought him out of his shell, and sharpened his dry humour to a devast- ating point. Ile can be roused from his reverle only by references to football or Western Swing, the two great loves of his life. We hear his ambition is to lead a Grande Ole Opry troupe. Well, ah, lct's face it, Don . . . DORIS WILKINSON Time flies and Doris always misses' the ane p . In her comer of the room Doris can carry on a wonderful conversation with Margaret. Never- theless she is a good student and works hard. Future lnternest will be gal to know that Doris is entering nursing next year and sbe'll certanly he a good one. -sg,1:.?'l',4e-rl. .1 Z ,A U INDNIILD WO0Il Dirty Don 0 women are fickle and liquor ls vile But. 1 still like an orgy once ln a while. Don is about the nearest thing we have to the collegiate type which doesn't seem to say much for us. He shambles in from Mt. Royal Monday moming, often Tuesday, sometimes even Wednesday - with a. bleary grin, shaking his head in forlorn constemation that nobody 's going to believe his phony stories anyway. Don boasts the distinction of being the only com- merce student in the class, and, like Ian and Moe, plans to go to Queens next year. Apart from that, his only ambition is to grow up into a man. No comment. PAT YOUNG Pat always has a cheery smile. She's gay and happy all the while. Except when Mr. Batt's around. Then. from the back there is no sound. Pat's bright smile brightens up our class every day. She is surrounded by talkers and so cannot be blamed for talking now and then. She hopes to go to college next year and we're all crossing our fingers for her.
