10A We're the incomparable 1OA consisting of sixteen boys and eighteen girls. Mr. Ferguson is our form teacher. In sports the girls won the Grade Ten Volleyball championship. A few of our boys are in our school teams. The representatives on Student Council are John Arnold and Diane Drummond. Your Conning Tower reporters are John Farmer and Diane Hollingworth. Our English presidents are John Middlebro and Sue Hulf. Being musically inclined, lOA is well represented in the bands and orchestra. We would like to thank Bill and Bev. Sinclair, Jim Latimer, Sandra Armstrong, Sue Hulf and their parents for allowing us to hold form parties in their homes. We would like to thank also Mr. Ferguson, Mrs. Bielby, Mr. Van Vliet, Miss Tinline, and Mr. Bell for the Christmas Party they made possible for us. IOB This year 10B is made up of 12 studious girls and 18 mischievous boys, but these 30 students com- bined together make up a pretty good class which generally gets along with the teachers fairly well. Reference, Mr. Allard . Since the beginning of the year we have lost two of our more prominent students, Jeanne Funkhof and Michael Carter. Our high-spirited class has not done so well in interform competition though, with the boys not win- ning in either football or basketball and the girls losing in volleyball. However Fred Ostermeier made the junior football team and Ron Smith is on the midget basketball team. A little girl by the name of Sheila Haire was lead- ing the pack after the first set of exams and looks ready for any oncomers in the second term. Our form is represented on the student council by Penny Windeatt and Ted Chesty Sainsbury. The active class of lOB however, has had only one form party which was quite successful at the resi- dence of David Howland. We hope to have a few more parties in the future. Our form and French teacher, Miss Hanlon, greets us in the morning with a hearty bonjour and then the work begins. She urges us on to high- er grades in the hope that in June many will be walking out of the school without writing the finals. IOC Our well known form this year is made up of 34 students , nineteen boys and fifteen girls. We are fortunate in having Mr. Burgess as our form teacher. So far this year we have had two form parties which were successful and enjoyed by all, due to the extent of time and effort spent by Rosemary 78 McGlenning and her parents. Both were dance parties. At the Christmas Exams, Craig Simpson stood first with an average of 8492, and Rosemary McGlening stood second with an average of 80.6'Z,. We are proud to have these outstanding people in our form. Sports are enjoyed by all members of l0C. In girls volleyball our team got into the finals only to be stopped there. Lynda Scott was on the school volleyball team. The girls are looking forward to basketball. While in football the boys won two games and lost one game. The boys' basketball team won three games and lost four. Gary Witthapp and Craig Simpson are on the school midget basket- ball team. Gerry King, Bob Ptasnik and Craig Simpson are on the school junior hockey team. This year has begun well and we think it will end well. IOD In 10D there are 22 of us in Mr. Sneddon's crowd. Our main activity is form parties. We have had two form parties so far. At Elaine Holland's place we held our first party. Everyone seemed to have a ball. Our second one was at Gary Rayner's place and there we had another great time. Another one is being planned for January. We haven't made much sporting contribution as yet to W.C.V.S., but Grant Hogarth, was out with the Junior football team. Due to injuries he played only one game. In addition, Grant Hogarth, Currie Ward, and Gary Rayner played for the Junior football team. However, in hockey we have more candidates who play in the Weston League, Gary Rayner, Barry Mc- Keen and Paul Elder. Gayle Ridsdill and Bill Richards are the form reps. So for the rest of the year we look to Mr. Sneddon to guide us on. IOE It was a great day when form 10E was enrolled by Mr. Swatridge. It is a happy, friendly form, but then maybe I'm biased. We all have fun by talking, laughing, playing, singing, and trying to cause mischief during class. Apparently, in between, we do some learning because at Christmas we had a high class average. During the flu epidemic, 1OE had a record to be proud of. Our record for that fabulous bedridden week is as follows: 22, 23, 20, 19, 18. These are the total of students that were not here!! On the last day of school before the wonderful holiday, we had a form party. It consisted of games, presents and last but certainly not least, food. Everyone enjoyed themselves, and all were

O 0 We think that every student knows what the Canning Tower tries to achieve each year -the successful mirroring of school life andthe catching of the school spirit. We hope, as you look through this issue, you will recall the whimsles of a teacher, the thrill of a rugby game, the ex- citement af a dance, the pranks of your fellow students - all the things that go to make school more than a daily drudge . But when you look at this magazine, each time you hold it in your hand, think of this also-the Canning Tower is a livlng concrete example ofthe spirit of the school. The spirit of doing things together . We all know that it is necessary to be able to ca-operate with others to make a success not only ofa praiect, but of ourselves, that there is no place in the scheme of things for the egatist, the guy who wants to know what's in it for me the anti-socialist. This is not written abstractly . The success of the Canning Tower depends upon co-operation: the ca-operation of the art, photography and editing departments, of the staff of the school, of the student body as a whole . Not once in the months of working together did this chain of inter-depen- dance break. ln working on the Canning Tower this has become a 'fait accompli' . lt exists throughout the whole school. lt could pervade the school sa that it could befound in every organization, in every proiect, in every discussion group, so we could truly say, as the ancient Romans - Non Nobis Solum .

full of Christmas Spirit, sandwiches, cookies, pop, etc. Form 10E is planning a party early in February. It will be a bowling party and then to a home for eating and dancing. Sportsin lOE for the girls would be best not men- tioned. We were very badly defeated in vollevballz the only game won was the last one. We hope that the girls vdll be more successful in basketball and other sports to follow. In interform football the 1OE boy's joined with 10C and lOD. We won two and were put out for losing the third game. In basketball we went into total point series. -Judy Coward and Barry Coon. CIOA Form ClOA is a class of 24 girls twhen all pres- entj whose form teacher is Mrs. Patterson. We all feel that our basketball games will out- shine the volleyball season in which we won three games out of five. In our around-the-world class we gained a new member from England, Morag Stewart and one from Ireland, Adrianne McKane who switched to General after Christmas. We do welcome these girls and hope they enjoy living in Canada. We lost Diane Boht and Eileen Wale to the busi- ness world. Our form and athletic representative is Jean Phillips. Our Christmas party was held on Friday, De- cember 2Oth in room 203. It was combined with Mr. Yeigh' s form ClOC. We exchanged gifts a.nd then ate our lunch. This was a successful party and we are counting on one or two more before the school year is over. Diane Howard is our top student so far this year followed closely by Lorna Curtis. -Jean Phillips, Carole Thompson. Cl0B This year C10B started their year with 37 stu- dents. Unfortunately we lost three, one moved and two quit on the rocky road to success. We had a Christmas party on the last day of school before the holidays in our home room with Mr. Thompson our form teacher. Alexander Bolton brought his record player and some records which we danced to tno rock and rollj. While we were stuffing ourselves with the delicious food we brought, Mr. Thompson was presented with his gift a book on Canada, a subject he enjoys very much. We all had an enjoyable time. Our top student at Christmas this year was Vir- ginia Quipp who had an average of 79.5 percent. On January 11, wehad planned our first form party at Christina Dick's home. It was cancelled because the class weren't able or just didn't have enough class spirit to attend. 0ur form believes in being democratic in the sports field so we conceded in letting the other forms win most of the games this year. -Dianne Hewitt 8: Alexander Bolton. CIOC This year CIOC consists of 26 females with Mr. Yeigh as their form teacher. Carroll Wilson and Kathy Easton were elected form representatives. The first event of the year was our form party held at Nancy Perrotti's house. It was very suc- cessful with refreshments of coke and hot dogs. Judy Mercer who was chosen as the athletic rep- resentative led our team through a very successful volleyball season. The players wereg Judy Mercer CCaptainl, Joan Hall, Dorothy George, Kathy Easton, Sandra Sainsbury, Nancy Perry, Nancy Perrotti, Donna Colangelo, Marilyn Bowers, Carolyn Sey- mour, Mona Thompson, and Marlene Smith. When the Christmas Exam averages were fig- ured out Marilyn Davis stood first with an average of 82.446 At the Christmas Assembly, all the girls in CIOC sang in the girls' choir with ClOA and C9A. Our Christmas Party was held in Mrs. Patterson's room with the C10A girls. There were refresh- ments and an exchange of gifts. After the holidays we commenced playing basket- ball. The players areg Judy Mercer lCaptainj, Dorothy Ge-orge,Kathy Easton, Joan Hall,Car0lyn Seymour, Nancy Perry, and Elizabeth Bentham. Diane Leavy represented our form in the semi- finals of the public speaking contest. She did very well but did not quite make the finals. Up to now we have had a very enjoyable year.
