Form News

12C started the year with a BANG by receiving 2 points on Field Day. A real disgrace so Miss O'Brien stated and hoped we would be better typists. We tried to overcome our poor start by working hard in the magazine campaign. We did quite well at this and with the help of Anita's coaching we received our school hats which added a very fashionable note to one of our typing classes.
A Christmas party consisting of Shorthand games and lunch was held one noon hour in 215. Lea, Frank, Gay, Yvonne and others were lucky winners of the Shorthand games. Lunch - perhaps the most important part of the party - was eaten with Barbara sitting at the head of the table. More games were played after lunch. Speed Tests are the order of the day for most of us. Lucky Zosia and Fred, who already have theirs, can sit back and relax.
Jean, the secretary-treasurer of the Blue 'n' White, keeps an eagle eye on all its financial transactions.
Marg, our AA Rep, who has so much trouble getting six players for a team, just doesn't understand where the girls disappear to at noon.
On February 1, Anne left us to work for the Bell Telephone Co as a Sales Representative.
Charles is our musician of whom we are all very proud.
During the year we have had two NOMA spelling tests. In the first test Anita, Gwen, and Rosalee spelled the 100 words correctly, and Gwen and Donna spelled them correctly in the second test.
Carol, our happy girl, seems to see the funny side of Mr McLean's English class.
Andrea, our only senior basketball player , is lucky to get out of class a few days for games.
Shirley is often seen walking to school so we all know she is keeping fit for the Tri-School Meet next spring.
CARD OF THANKS:
We all wish to thank Bev for her brave actions in getting us out at 3:30 the day we wrote our final Law Examination.
And last but not least our star in Shorthand - Muriel.
