Year Book— 1929-1930 15 ROOM 10 President, Edward Seveille; Secretary, Connie Webster YELL Oh! Oh! Oh! What’s the fuss? 9B U-S—U-S! Room 1G — That’s the fuss! We, the Knights and Ladies of Room Ten, the Wardens of the Test lubes and Galvonometers, will first review the achievements of our own domain—the realm of Science. When we moved to our present abode (the Science Room) and when generating odours assailed our nostrils, we were in a ghastly plight. How¬ ever, with true adaptability, we have fitted ourselves into our surroundings and are now almost as much a part of them as the aforementioned odours. At our toboggan party we achieved much fame as the noisiest crowd that visited the slides that year. All members of the class, however, bore up well under the strain. In scholastics we have such names as Crowe, Crombie and Cassop. In the field of sports we have made an excellent showing. ' Names like Nash. Hawes, Strock, Alexander and McKinnon recall our doings on che athletic field. In the musical arena we recall the names of Kibblewhite, Boyd, Bowser, Bower, Barry and Fowler, all of which add greatly to our prestige. We have only one sorrow and that is the room numbers are not given out in accordance with the ability of our inmates. If that were the case our room number would be No. 1, instead of its present number of ten units. Can any who read this deny the fact ?

14 General Wolfe Junior High School ROOM 9 President, John Ross; Secretary, Dorothy F-rederickson. YELL One, two, three, who are we? We are Room 9, can’t you see? We play fair, we play square, 9C, PC, everywhere. OUR HIKE One fine day last October, Room 9 set out to explore parts unknown. Amid song and laughter our cars carried us to the end of the car line; and alighting from them we started to hike. And did we hike? Oh! We fol¬ lowed a twisting, turning, ever-narrowing path into the wilderness. On and on we bravely marched. At last, footsore but cheery, we arrived at our destination, Colonel Thompson’s house. We found a hollow on the river bank and started to look for fuel. (The girls did all the looking, the boys were still coming.) After a roaring fire had been made, we toasted weiners and rolls, and ate them with a relish. When these at last gave out, we were supplied with marshmallows. We sat around the cheerful fire and had a sing song (in which Mr. Harper’s deep bass voice vibrated through the air). The sun at last disappeared over the horizon after giving us a glorious sunset. The night set in with a velvety sky, sprinkled with diamond-like stars. We put out our fire and commenced to hike back, after Mr. Harper had called us together. When the pump was reached there was a stampede in which everyone washed more than their dusty throats. Arriving eventually at the car line we bade Mr. Harper a fond good night and departed with lagging feet and singing hearts for our respective homes.
