IIA Under the guidance of our form teacher Mr. Ten- nyson and the leadership of our two form reps., Viola Davidson and Tom Stephenson, 11A has come along way i.n social as well as educational activities. As a good example of our class enthusiasm, 11A' s girls, under the supervision of Lillian Novak, made school decorations and sold them at one of the foot- ball games. It was a very worthwhile venture as the profit went to the United Appeal Fund, and at the same time we had fun making the pompoms, shakers, wool dolls, etc. Besides having a high academic standard, 1lA has been well represented in school activities. Joa.nne Middlemiss, as one of our fine cheerleaders, helps the school spirit along with her acrobatic abilities. Without l1A's contribution, the school orchestra would be seven members short and the band eight. Barbara Laidlaw is director of pub- licity for the United Nations Club, while academic - ally speaking, Judy Pearson won the top Grade 10 proficiency prize and continues to rank among the highest in the class this year. Speaking of sports, Jim Boyce, Tom Stephenson, and Jim Ulatowski were members of the Junior Football team. Again, this winter, Jim Boyce and Tom Stephenson, are welcome additions to the Jun- ior Hockey Team. In interform sports, neitherthe girls nor the boys have as yet shown themselves exceptional, but we hope to provide more hardy competition as the basketball season progresses. We have had two form parties so far. The first held in0ctober at Verna Harrison' s house where we enjoyed ourselves dancing in her recreation room. The other, on January 18, was a skating party at the Arena. After skating, we met and went to Joa.n Lauder's house for dancing and refreshments. HB We started the year off with thirteen girls, but unfortunately three have left so we now number only ten. In volleyball we joined with ll.A and were quite successful until we reached the playoffs. So far in basketball we haven't been quite so successful as we are often short a few players. The boys in llB joined with UA to make a football team and they too were lucky enough to reach the finals. We only hope they are as successful in basketball. We have only had one form party this year held at Alex Armstrong's home and although only a few came, we had a good time. We are looking forward to a more successful party in the near future. Al- though we are quite a noisy lot our form teacher Mr. Clayson doesn't seem to mind us at a.Ll. 86 IIC This year llC is composed of 33 students, 18 girls and 15 boys. Naturally we have another mem- ber, our form teacher Mr. Branscombe, who tries very hard to drill some ancient history into our heads. For our form representatives we have wise- ly chosen Carol Davidson and Peter Muller. Our first form party of the year was a get acquainted affair held at the home of Peter Muller. The members of the class danced and later the re- freshments were served. It was agreed to have been a good party enjoyed by all who attended. The next form party was held at the home of Carol Davidson. Everyone took part in the dancing and contests which took place, In the latter part of the evening hot dogs were served. As Christmas rolled around another get together was planned to be held in our home room in the fourth period of the morning. The next form party as scheduled is to be held at the home of Linda J efferson. The members of our form took part in the col- lection of money, by selling tickets to the United Fund Football Games for which the proceeds went to the United Appeal Ftmd. The class also thought it was a worthy cause to participate in the gathering of gifts to be given to the Salvation Army for distri- bution. ln interform activities the girls have tried to do their best. With Linda Jefferson as our athletic representative the girls arranged a volleyball team and won 4 of the 5 games they played. The basket- ball season has just started for the girls and they are hoping to do as well. We have a few of our girls in the Glee Club. We are also represented on some of the school teams with Bill Allen and John Boyce on the Junior Foot- ball Team. John Boyce also plays on Junior Hockey Team. The boys didn't do too well in their interform activities as they only won 1 of the 3 games they were supposed to play, losing one and also losing the other by default. So far all have helped to make 1957-58 a success- ful year and are looking forward to a brighter future spent with the best of friends. HD This year 11D is composed of typists, mechanics, draftsmen, and would-be housewives. On December 7, 1957, Gail Hall played hostess to our one form party, with twelve girls and over twenty boys attending, coming from far and near, making the party a big success. We hope to have more parties before the term is finished. Our form was very active and successful in the fall sports-the boys losing one game in football, entering them into the finals. The girls were very

successful in volleyball, winnings ta.king them into finals, and unfortunately losing, after a hard battle. We hope to do as well in basketball. The girls' Athletic Rep. is Gail Hall. This year we are fortunate to have one of W.C. V.S.' cheerleaders in our form: Diane Cascone. Two of our boys: Gary Begg and George Walker are playing hockey with the Weston Dukes and Grant Kilpatrick is playing with the Lakeshore Bruins. The two representatives in the Student Council are Cora Mason and Robin Irvine. Miss Coburn and Mr. Hoey are our form teachers. -Lorraine Darlington . llE Our form is comprised of almost an equal num- ber of males as females, and consequently we have had four form parties. The people who had them were John Austin, John Mertens, Gayle Mortenson and Jim Armstrong. At the last party, just before Christmas, Mrs. Bielby spent part of the evening with us. The military band would be completely lost if not for 11E, as we represent over 5 of it. Some of these students also play in the orchestra.This is a sneaky way of attending all assemblies. The boys did extremely well in football, losing only to grades 12 and 13. As many games as the boys won in football the girls lost in volleyball, 'lr' winning only 2 games. We hope to do better in basketball. You never know what our scheming little minds will dream up in the future but I hope Mrs. Bielby can put up with us. CllA Cl1A started the year off with a bang by win- ning the interform volleyball championship. The players on the team were Doreen Fleming, Sharon Deugo, Francis Hall, Elizabeth Henderson, Carole Parsons, Marie Elcome, Joan Dicker, Maureen 0'Neill, Cherry Gregg, Linda Hobbs, and Nancy Somrnerville. For this success we owe much to our Athletic Rep. Doreen Fleming. We hope to be as successful in basketball and have been doing well so far. Among the girls in C11A that helped Weston to win the volleyball championship over six other schools are Sharon Deugo, Doreen Fleming, Carole Pa rsons, and Elizabeth'Henderson. This year we have had one form party held at Do reen Fleming's and we are a.Il looking forward to the one coming up, which will be held at Gail Davies'. At this time we would also like to mention our form teacher, Mr. Taylor, who we all feel is the greatest. According to us he is one of the best .,,,z4' .W-fi, Above are the members of the Weston Military Bond, who performed at the football game which began our Centennial Celebrations . 87
