9F Our class representatives are Mary Ann Glebe- Student Council, Dawna Whittlesea -Girls athletics, and Bill Heighway-Boys athletics. In the fall term the girls played in the Volleyball tournament. The members of our team are Helen Moore, Vivien Warren, Carol Davidson, Sharon Burlington, Dawna Whittlesea, Tiina Parn, Lynne McNeil, Linda Moore and Phyllis Bezzo. The boys joined with 9E for their interform toot- ball schedule. The team :lid well and advanced to the semi-finals. Members of the team ire: John Nield, Leonard Sldnner, Bill Kent, Bill Farr, Robin Smart and John Kitay. The basketball schedule for the grade lX girls cannot begin until the senior tournament is finished, however, we have hopes of having a good team. The boys have two teams in the Basketball lea- gue. Members of team one are: David Sararas, John Nield, Leonard Skinner, Bill Farr, Bill Kent, Bill Heighway,a.nd Robin Smart. The second team members are: Ron Findlay, Tom Heath, Dave Ross, Ray Jones, Mike Patrick and Graeme Thompson. Over two thirds of our class were successful in obtaining over seventy percent in the Christmas examinations. Our top three students are Lynn Mc- Neil, Tiina Parn and Carol Davidson. We held our Christmas party in the girl's gym with our form teacher Miss Leckie. We played games and ate, the perfect combination to end the school term. -Robin Smart and Sally Thompson. C9A C9A came out of the Volleyball season with four wins in five games which made us contenders in the semi-finals. As a result of the sixth and most im- portant game against C9B we lost our hopes of win- ning the Volleyball Championship as did the C9A last year. At present we have our hearts set on the basketball so the other forms had better watch out. We held our Christmas Party on December 20th in room 202 under the supervision of Miss Camp- bell, our form teacher. We played games on the blackboards until it was announced that gifts were to be exchanged at which time we all took our seats. After the gifts had been opened and displayed, the committee which we had chosen, served refresh- ments. When the party ended and we left, we began our two week holiday which was welcomed by a.ll. C9B The volleyball championship, although it was won by a Grade 11 team, came close to being won by our team. Ln the first game although we were inexperienced we were triumphant. The second game was played against a fast moving team and we lost. But all the rest of the games excluding the last were played against experienced Grade 9 teams. The last game was a heartbreaker for we got 17 points but we could not get any more, so the game ended 31-17. We had a very enjoyable Christmas party on De- cember 2O, the last day of school. We exchanged gifts, and Mrs. Hawkey gave a thankyou speech for a beautiful desk set she received. It was very appropriate at the time. We then had refreshments and listened to records. All in all, it was a very enjoyable conclusion to our Fall Term. C9C C9C consists of eleven boys and nineteen girls and is headed by Miss Scott. The class nominated Richard Turner for the home room representative and he is doing a good job. To our disappointment the girls lost their chance to win the volleyball tournament. The boys came closer to that, though, in football: at least they got into the finals with T9C and lost. Then the boys were all fighting for the basketball championship and their hopes were built up high, but after the first game they dropped flost to T9B 6-45 so the second game consisted only of six players among whom were Ted Windsor tour coachl and Doug. Page four captainl. Also in the joyous season of Christmas there was a party which was attended by all. Everyone agreed it was a great success. -Pat Healey, Jean Smith. T9A Mr. Allard is T9A's form teacher this year. He has won an international poetry contest. T9A hadn't had a successful year in sports. We lost both games in football and have got a bad start in basketball. Our boys are either working or serving detentions. Our class brain is Bob Hilton, while Jim Chown is losing money on bets. T9B One of the bestknown classes in the school is T9B. This class has a group of boys who all pull together in sports and work. We are all interested in our shop work and studies and try to co-operate with our teachers and class mates. Mr. Lethbridge, our home room teacher, takes a personal pride in all ofus and if it wasn't for him we would not have the desire for learning that most of the boys in his class possess. -George Milnes. T9C This is the T9C class representative reporting. There are 27 boys in this class of 1957-58. Our class is outstanding because of the concentration of jokers who will do no work unless they are threatened with a .32, in their backs. However, what we lack in genius we make up in athletic prowess. We started out in the fall of the year by winning the Grade 9 rugby Championship. We also have great hopes of this form coming out ontop in the coming Basketball series. Despite the widely known fact that our class has the lowest LQ., of any comparable class in Canada, we undoubtedly have unparalleled esprit de corps. -Larry A. Welch. 71

9A This year as usual 9A is an all-girl form :on- sisting of thirty-six females. Our home room, 2173 teacher, Mrs. Wright. At the beginning of the year we all plunged into work! !? 'F But our Christmas exams didn-t prove this. Our highest percent was 81129. This year our whole class agreed on one thing at least, that was the election of our form represen- tative, Sandra Patterson. Unfortunately we haven't had any form parties as yet, but Sandra is working hard on one now. The volleyball this term was off to a good start under the leadership of Margo Watson, our athletic rep., but it slightly slackened near the end. We hope that this term 9A will realize the impor- tance of conscientious study. -Margaret James and Heather Allen. 9B Form 9B has the distinction of being the only General 9 class made up exclusively of boys. Dur- ing the United Appeal Campaign we struggled pain- fully to contribute over S 70.00 to its treasury. This contribution was so far in excess of what other classes gave, however, that we were awarded S 10. for our efforts, and like true winners, we accepted it graciously. As for the interform football it was VICTORY ...... for the other teams. Our interform basketball seems to be a success but due to our extensive practice on the paper basket, it should be. It may be interesting to know that one of our boys is on the Junior Hockey Team. The girls forms maybe glad to know that the S 10. prize of the United Appeal has not been spent. -Jack Boultbee and Danny Mariage. 9C Lorraine Robinson, whom we are very proud of, keeps us up to date on the happenings in the school. The girls didn't do so well in volleyball but con- sidering all these shorties how could we help it. Trudie Hinting is our Athletic Rep. Basketball is coming up soon and we plan to massacre the other teams. We hopel As for the parties well 9C just isn't a partying form, but we hope to have one soon. -Marg. Coakley 8: Marianne Larson. 9D The year started off with 36 bright, shining faces. After a few months we lost Mike Jordan a distin- guished member of our form because of his position 70 as secretary-treasurer of the U.N. club. In January we welcomed Lynn Dunsmore, a refugee from St. Joseph's, Toronto. The first social event of the year was our Christmas party at the school. It was held on the Friday morning before the holidays in our home room. After a couple of games prepared by Miss Cameron, our form teacher, we had our refresh- ments, cokes and do-nuts. We gave Miss Cameron a present of gloves and jewelry, and she in turn supplied us with, instead of the usual French as- signment, chocolate bars. At the end of their term in cooking, the Home Ec. girls gave a cocoa party. Miss Cameron, Mr. Allen, and some of the other staff members were the illustrious guests-of-honour. In the sports end of things form 9D didn't do too Well. In girls volleyball the team under the guiding hands of Marilyn Maclntyre our P.E. rep., won only one game out of four. ln spite of this we had a lot of fun playing. The boys fared about the same. We have two basketball teams, 1 gl 2. Team one did not win either of their games and team two won one. But the season is not over yet, and who can tell what will happen? On the whole 9D has had a very satisfactory year under the guidance of Miss Cameron and Ray Stittle, our form rep. 9E Class 9E is quite a form, No one in it is forlorn. This certainly is no wonder Since Miss Fanning would never blunder. With laughter we are well equipped, Of chuckles we could not be gypped. Now let me give you a review Of a normal day that we go through. Math, for most of us is an easy task, Though a few questions some do ask. In music, on the other hand A lot of us are far from grand. French finds us with Miss Cameron Where another lesson will have begun. In science we do have a ball, Blowing up the school and alll As we sit in geography We learn about the land and sea. Our lessons we do day by day. Or try to do them, should I say! In history we write so fast I fear our fingers will not last. At 3:30 we all rush out Wondering that it's been all about. - Shirley Warren
