OUR THANKS The Conning Tower editors wish to thank the many persons in the school who have contributed to the work of this, the centennial edition. We would like to thank, first of all, the C12 girls in Mr. Shepherd's typing classes who typed for us the great bulk of the written material. This was a tricky, and at times exasperating job! In makeup, our thanks to Sandra Pesce, Diane M iydanuk , Margaret Donnelly, and Pat M cM urdo. A nod of thanks too to Mr. Allard for the fine Sonnet which he contributed to this year's book. Many of our photos were taken this year by Terry Shaw and Ken Koehler, and also by Mr. Geoffrey Frazer, who not only contributed the class pictures but a number of others he had taken at the school on various occasions. Last, but not least, several of our teachers helped guide us along the way. They included Mr. Gemmell, advertisingg Mr. Clayson, photographyg Mr. Barr,proofreadingg and Mr. Yeigh, general supervision and makeup. We apologize for any disturbance that may have been caused in the rush of last-minute preparation. Please remember that the book would not have been possible without the cooperation of our ad- vertisers, who have proved themselves valuable friends of the school by their financial help. Please keep them in mind when you go shopping. Our thanks especially to Miss Wattle, for allow- ing us to reproduce certain portions of her history of our school. This history involved a great deal of work, and has won recognition as a notable con- tribution to Weston' s local history. Compliments of . . MARCIA MAC Compliments of . . .

Girls' Field Day The 1957 Field Day was a time of active fum and intense competition which resulted in the recording of many different names on the winners' sheet. In the Junior events Felicity Yendell won the high jump and Mary-Lynne Swayze the broad jump. Gail Robinson was first in both the 50 and the 75 yard dashes. Judy Mercer won the baseball throw and Diane Ainslie the basketball thros. C9D was the winning form in the Junior Spiral Relay. 9G won the shuttle and 9A the 200 yd. relays. The many contestants and the excitement of all the entries made the Junior events very thrilling especially for Gail Robinson who became the Junior Champion. The Intermediate events were just as varied in results. Grace George was first in the High Jump, and Sylvia Papa in the broad jump. Valerie Findlay won the 75 yd. dash. Linda Jefferson won the 100 yd. dash. Leona Poirier was first in the baseball throw. Doreen Fleming won the basketball throw. CIOB was victorious in both the spiral and the softball relays. 10F defeated 1OG in the shuttle relay. but l0G defeated 10F in the 200 yd. relay. 10B and C1OA were close behind in all these events. Grace George was'the Intermediate Champion. In the Senior Division, Diane Parsons, the Champ- ion,won firsts in the high jump, the broad jump and the 75 yd. dash. Theresa Stanley was the winner of the baseball throw and Lorraine Sainsbury, of the basketball throw. All the relays were character- ized by almost fiery competition, most noticeably between 12A and 11A. 12A defeated her friendly rivals in the softball relay, the spiral relay and the 200 yd. relay. 11A won both the second spiral relay and the second shuttle relay against 11B,11D and 11E. C11A won the second softball relay. As was mentioned before, Diane Parsons was the Senior Champion. To sum up, the Annual Field Day was a delight, not only to the winners, but to the runners-up and to the watchful spectators. Senior Girls'Volleyball Our school ca.n do anything and winning fame for Weston in Volleyball at other schools is no except- 1011. This year, the Senior team entered the Round Robin Tournament an annual competition at Mimico. The team was made up of Weston's top volleyball players - Joan Hitchcock, Laura Lambie, Bev. Dixon, Orian Strachan, Connie Lyles, Elizabeth 58 Henderson, Carole Parsons, Sharon Dulgo, and Doreen Fleming. The girls returned to Weston without losing a game, defeating Etobicoke, Mimico, Royal York, York Memorial and Runnymede Schools and so won the Round Robin Tournament. Our con- gratulations to our victorious team. Junior Girls' Volleyball Weston's Juniors were determined to win the Round Robin Tournament at Etobicoke and they did. This team was made up of Linda Scott, Dianne Ainslie, Kathy Easton, Lynda McFarland, Vivien Warren, Molly Palmer, Carol Leitch, Cathy Jarvis, and Anita Richter. They defeated Etobicoke, Mimico, Royal York, York Memorial and Rtuiny- mede Schools. One thing our team was not able to do was to sing our school song at a dinner which was held after the games. We can forgive them can't we? They did complete a job well done. Badminton Wednesday afternoons are special to certain W.C. V.S. students who love to watch birds. Their oppor- tunity is provided to them by the Weston Recreation Commission and the activity takes place at the Illustrious. Strangely enough, these students are not satis- fied with watching the birds. They hit them back and forth over a net with rackets provided to them by the school. All this, of course, refers to the badminton group, capably coached by Miss Tinline who is to be congratulated for her badminton vic- tories throughout the province. The bird-watchers numbering about twenty, steadily improve with practice, each week. There is keen competition in the different sets and once one set is over another is ready to begin. The courts are never empty, and the spirit never lags. -Lois Godfrey, 13A. Mechanic: Lady, I've found the trouble with your car. You've got a short circuit in the wiring.
