Year Book— 1929-1930 11 ' ROOM 7 President, Roy Everett; Secretary, Doris McBride Room seven is known by all, We’re known as the room of the friendly call. We never fear when exams are on; We never fear when they’re gone. In History and Science we excel, But we’ll never learn how to spell. We don’t likt Maths, yet we’ll admit We like our Grammar a litle bit. Eleanor has always been first in Sewing, But she never does any blowing. Bertha is quiet and sincere, In her exams she has nothing to fear. Jim Milne, our Mathematician, Is not so good at Composition. But Bob Marshall, our Literature star, He knows all about young Lochinvar. Then there’s Willie Thomas, our rugby star, He comes through the battle without a scar. And Jack Vickers, our speed-skating ace, Is a prominent factor in every race. Roy Everett, our President this year, Kept us at work with industrial cheer. You see, there are clever pupils in our class, And our hope is that we will all pass.

12 General Wolfe Junior High School ROOM 8 President, Keith Davison; Secretary, Roberta Smith LOG OF 9A Master: “Boatswain!” Boatswain: “Here, master; what cheer?” Master: “Good, speak to th’ mariners; fall to ’t, yarely, or we run ourselves aground ; bestir, bestir!” The wind sighed dismally, the rain drizzled down, lightning flashed, thunder rumbled against a background of Manitoba Mud as the good ship 9A was finally launched on the Sea of Learning, aided by the tugs Latin, Science, Spelling, and Mathematics. A momentous event, for some, good sailors, a long-looked-for event; for others, subject to sea-sickness, a dread¬ ed day of wrath and reckoning. Herculean attempts were made to fit her out. Witness Mr. Longley’s efforts to have the deck chairs repainted and varnished. At last, after tremendous heavings and shoutings, she pushed- ofif with forty-odd souls on board. The vessel was in charge of the following officers: Keith Davison, Captain; Audrey Lewis, Chief Officer; Marion Baumbach. Purser; Roberta Smith, Wireless Operator; Gwen Sigmundson, Stewardess; Syd Bellingham, Deck Steward; a goodly staff, constantly quelling mutinous murmurs, chastising the wicked, promoting the good, ordering, directing counselling. Notables on board were: The “Late” Mr. Easton, Absent Olmar; Otto Huggenberger, who actually understands French; Professor” Newman (Just a theory) ; Joe Leighton, our athlete (you oughta see him run up a column of figures) ; and Sam Brickman, who is well on the way to part ownership of Catalina Islands.
