TO
MY FRIENDS
The students of this school for
the last sixteen years
Whether we have a brave new world or not depends on whether you and
millions of other young people are capable of CO-OPERATION with others in
bringing it about. do you ever think
of those who fought and those who sacrificed their lives in the last war and
in this one for YOU?
Never allow yourselves to be animated by petty prejudices and hates,
but keep always before you the fact that to accomplish ANY good all must work
together. The world has no place for
selfish fanatics.
Remember also that your teachers do not lose interest in you when you
graduate or even when you leave school too soon without having acquired an
education. They are always ready to help you become useful citizens, always
proud to hear of your success, always hoping never to hear of failure.
This school has 100 years of noble tradition and YOU must not let it
down. Mr. Jamieson IN
MEMORIAM

H.M.P. Everyone in our school felt deeply the loss
of one of our most popular students, Harold Breaugh. Harold, although not able to take part, was
keenly interested in school sports. He belonged to the school cadets. Although Harold is no longer with us, his
pleasant smile and friendly manner will always be treasured by his school
pals. GRADE
13 PERSONALS & PROPHECIES
Curtis Allen finds it more profitable to sit quietly in
class and take in everything and how he takes it in and keeps it! He intends to keep the Queen’s professors
in a dither. Frances Baird, otherwise known as Blondie,
sits in the front seat and dreams and works and dreams some more. There’ll be more work and less dreams when
she becomes a teacher, eh, Miss Briffett? David Beattie is increasing his education by
attending cowboy movies at the “Radar: in Deseronto. Just wait until he becomes a dentist. I’ll bet he’ll be one of the kind that says
“This won’t hurt” and then smilingly murders you. Don Beckett has rid himself of his
priceless “Nellie.” We wonder if his
grief has caused him to stop school.
Who would ever think Spanish could have such an appeal? “Nellie” has been replaced by an aeroplane
now, and he’s on the way to being one of our airline pilots of the future. Carmen Bell finds it necessary to keep a
big safety-pin on the steering wheel of the bus. can it be to pin himself down to earth when
he thinks of someone at Kingston? He
evidently believes a bit of poison here and there is a good way to settle old
scores, so he’s going to be a pharmacist. Wilda Berndt is often disappointed when she
gets only one hundred in a test. She
is a whiz at volley-ball. Wilda’s going to be another pupil-plague -- whoops, I
mean teacher. Doris Brown is an ambitious sort of gal
who loves to work but can always take a few minutes off for a laugh. She wants to go to Normal next year --
whenever she’s through fifth form. Dorothy Boyce has a hard time deciding
between blondes, brunettes, and brownettes,
especially when it comes to me. Marion Burrows a farmerette
to be, hopes to be placed in a camp near Toronto, if it can’t be near
Mohawk. I wonder why? She intends to have R.N. after her name if
other interests don’t interfere. George Chalk may be found around Deseronto
more than around Napanee. We wonder
why. Helen Creighton takes the prize for having
“available” brains. Sports and “men of
Mohawk” catch her eye as well as books.
She is going to specialize in languages at Queens. Maybe she’ll be interpreter at the next
World Conference. Bill Denyes is mighty easy going but does he love to
argue? Ask those who know him. He says he’s going to be an agriculturalist
- and don’t you call him a farmer either. Don Elliott has been making more trips
than usual to Belleville this year.
Could it be to see someone in particular or is he just realizing how
beautiful the scenery is? An up-and
-coming doctor, in a few years he’ll be giving “pink pills to pale people.” Jack Fahey is a swell guy -- at least someone at
Marysville seems to think so. Or is it
that girl he sees on the bus every day? Anna Forbes - takes great pleasure in
attending the dances in her native “Bath”.
She also likes the dances at the airport. Can it be she likes dancing? She may never get back to normal after she
gets finished with it. Dick Henderson has left us for happier days which he hopes
to find with Francis’ Bread. He wants
to be an engineer on stationary engines.
He’ll drive those engines with a will but the stubborn things will
still stand still! Nadine Hinch doesn’t say much at times but
at other times - what a talker. We
wonder if she ever runs out of words on her long walk home. She intends to study at Peterborough Normal
after Mr. Froud bids her a (regretful?) good-bye. Nina Hudgins - is a regular attendant who
always appears in the “upper bracket” after examinations. Grant Humphrey seems to be studying Zoology
so he can specialize in Heart Trouble.
He wants to become a D.D.S. -- dentist to you. Don’t go to Humphrey to have your teeth
filled Mr. Froud.
He’ll drill you! Orma Jackson’s mind spends its time in
Newfoundland but she leaves her body at N.C.V.I. She wants to be a nurse so that when she
conks the better half with the rolling pin she can repair the damage! Ruth John could get a job any day as a portrait
painter and as for having usable brains, she has more than her share. She can’t make up her mind whether to go to
University or Art School. Barbara Johnston finds part of her time taken
up by airman and the rest of it by civilians.
We wonder who will win. time
will tell. Barb ants to be a nurse. Wouldn’t her hand feel nice on your fevered
forehead, fellows? Pauline Lemmon the fire-bug’s favourite
question is “Have I any lipstick on yet?”
She often gets her days and nights mixed. Shirley Luby often appears with her hair in
a kerchief; particularly on
Wednesdays. Can it be that she expects
to see “That man” again? We wonder if
she will abide by Miss Briffett’s grammar rules
when she becomes a journalist. Mary Maunder is seeking to be placed on a
farm service camp near Toronto. I
wonder if it is because a certain airman spends his weekends there. Mary will be another headache for the
normal teachers. Helen Mellow is a good worker who certainly
deserves to pass. She doesn’t say so
much in school but we know she must think a lot. Ruth Mellow was one of our first farmerettes
to leave. She should do well with her
work on the farm. Dick McLaughlin, known as McGaw,
takes an interest in everything but work, but delights chiefly in telling
jokes. He intends to be a
dentist. He should be able to get a
good leverage on the forceps with those long things he calls arms. Gordon McLellan seems to find it hard to see
the board during French and geometry periods.
Is it the board he is trying to see when he moves nearer the
front? Like father like son, Gord wants to be a minister. Bill Norris lets neither sunshine nor rain keep him
from Tamworth when he gets that urge to go. Eileen Norris would be lost without Eleanors to laugh at.
Fire-halls have lost their appeal and now Sergeants have a greater
attraction for her. She wants to be a
stenographer. I’ll bet her longhand
will be shorter than her shorthand. Lois Paul has
met a new flame at Mohawk - or can it be a bon-fire? She should do well in the Depts. if she
keeps up her present record. She’s
going to specialize in English and History at Queens. Could Miss Briffett
be her ideal? Joan Santer has suddenly taken a great
interest in aeroplanes. Can it be
because of Mohawk or because of a certain civilian who wants to learn to
fly? Joan hasn’t decided whether to be
a nurse or a stewardess. It’ll likely
be a stewardess the way things look. Doris Sills has a ready laugh for
everyone. No wonder she has a good
time at Mohawk dances whenever she can take the time to go. Every time is better -- is heaven coming on
earth? Frank Slingerland is the little man with the
little head full of big brains. He
likes “juggling the test-tubes” as Mr. Diamant
says, and plans to be a chemical engineer. Audrey Smith finds it much more interesting
to sleep during the day and get her daily exercise at night -- preferably at
Selby, yet she has good marks. Gary Smith has become very interested in
the furniture business, it seems to us.
He’d like to be a journalist, and it seems quite possible, considering
the “awful” stuff he wrote for this magazine. Jack Spencer’s motto is “Meet me in the
Sup.” We wonder why he finds it
necessary to buy a pair of new shoes, or at least a tin of shoe polish, every
week or so. Won’t he look cute saying,
“What can I do for you, ma’am” The
butter is fresh in to-day.” Jack’s
going to be a grocer. Eleanor Tunnicliffe can make a stone dummy laugh
with one of her witty wise-cracks. You
should see the glamorous poses she gets for pictures. She’s going to be an
optometrist. Love will no longer be
blind when Eleanor goes into business. Marion Vine has a problem wondering
whether she would rather go to Mohawk or spend her time around town. Maybe she’s looking for a prospective
patient for her nursing career. Robert Wartman has turned farmer. What a way to pile up more muscles on those
bulging biceps of his! His father’s
advertisement may soon have “Wartman & Son” on it. Murray Wilson’s chief delight comes from new
horses, new clothes, new music and old cars.
Whenever you put more coal ion the fire in future years, just think of
good old Murray. He intends to take
over his father’s business. M. Vine & F. Slingerland 12a PERSONALS
Yes, verily in the year nineteen hundred and forty-five, there dwelt
in the gloomy halls of N.C.V.I., a cell by the name of 12 which was under the
guardianship of Mr. Smith. Her is a
list of its inmates. Lorraine Hunt wishes that rules would allow
her to sit with the boys; mainly “Dumbo” Thompson whose chief ambition is to be a professional
pool player. Eleanor Silver,
our bowling captain, is usually late, but the teachers don’t seem to
mind. Lenny Clarke came first
in the class which made “Bar” Fretts, our amateur chemist, bubble over
with pride. How will the Airport
dances ever succeed now that Edith Hall has gone to Cooksville? Jim
Markle, our ardent hockey star. Is he responsible for the “Leafs” winning
the Stanley Cup? Jean Tulloch,
our friend from the south is our champion basketball player. But Alice Kliem
, a northerner is a close second.
There’s Allan Parks, always drawing funny pictures to make us
laugh when the teacher’s back is turned.
Gwen Gourlie, the girl who is always
laughing and talking, but she never gets any detentions. Bill Wilson comes from Yarker but he
seems to spend most of his time in Selby.
Gwen Hill doesn’t believe “far away fields look greener” (her
beau lives next door.) Jack Boyle
who has mysteriously changed his attentions from the C.D.S. to the waitress
in the “Sup.” If Veronica Hunt
and Peggy McKeown would spend more evenings
doing homework, they wouldn’t have to skip so may periods. Bruce Caldwell - Did the cows quit
milking, Bruce, or were you too interested in a couple of sisters? You never did bring that cream to Mr. Diamant. Thelma
Berndt - pardonez-moi -- but does she ever know
her French! I bet she even knows what
“francois” means.
The “Leafs” must have won again because “Beans” Clark had the
car the other night. Lois McGreer
- our accomplished musician. We can’t
sing “God Save the King” without her assistance. Bruce Joynt
sports many stripes. One wonders if
they are decoration for being late.
Now Louise Hinch seems so quiet in
school. Maybe her thoughts are
elsewhere (in the country?) There’s
that Jim Kinkley who goes to the theatre
every time the picture changes. We
wonder what the attraction is. Sid
Porter says he plans on going to London next year. Is he going to take a certain girl from 9c with him? Olive
Smith, our only platinum blonde is much interested in sailors. Well, she’s a nice girl. Now Doug McCutcheon is very quiet in
school, but I’m willing to bet he isn’t so silent after school hours. Mary Barrett - our little farmerette. I
wonder how much work she’ll do. Do
they teach the art of playing pool in the Montreal schools? That seems to be Paul Vanalstine’s
best subject. Millie Magee sits
in a front seat. She must not trust
herself to do any work at the back of the room. Morley Hawley - can he ever do
geometry! He even knows the “horrible
details” as Mr. Froud calls them. And last of all Jean Dier
- she’s got plenty of nerve having this published. Jean Dier
(12a) 12b PERSONALS Sally Amodeo spends most of her time after
four working but as for her evenings -- well, that’s another matter! Bernice Akey has left school to work in a
bank in Belleville but she still finds plenty of time to write air-mail
letters, overseas, of course. Elva Babcock is working at Gibbards now.
However, she still looks forward to her weekends at Wilton. Shirley Boyce seems very interested in
bankers these days (one in particular.)
Can it be that she’s going in the business!!! Doreen Card is now spending her working
(??) hours in Cards’ Brush Factory -- but, as for her evenings -- alas,
they’re monopolized by one, tall, handsome guy. Cecil Collings is 12b’s
only N.C.O. His conversations are
always interesting -- too bad Mr. Jamieson interrupts occasionally. Betty Gilligan’s heart is with the Can. 1st
Division but she seems to have plenty of local interest as well. Rose Hawley won the Badminton
Championship. She also seems to be
doing very well with the boys at Mohawk. Gerald Joyce seems to enjoy the company of
minister’s daughters -- maybe that’s the reason for his good (??) behaviour! Carl Kelly spends most of his spare time
in Kingston. He won’t admit it but
there must be an attraction there.
Maybe K.C.V.I. Muriel Melburn takes her housekeeping very
seriously -- even takes the afternoon off for house-cleaning (with 2
assistants.) Wonder why she hasn’t
done it lately? Evelyn Myers is the quizz of 12b. She’s allergic to Law (of course, only the
kind she learns in school). Dorothy Rose is going through for a
missionary in the foreign fields of “Milltown.” Vivian Russell is always fighting with Collings and she generally gets caught, too. Pauline Storey has been ill since
Easter. Hope she soon is able to be
around for we sure miss her. Marjorie Telford spends most of her )school)
time giggling. Wonder who’s or what’s
the cause? Clara Turnbull - Call for her any evening --
she’s not at home -- I wonder why? Can
it be “Flat tires” a “leaky gas pipe” etc. -- Audrey Walsh is very fond of sports,
dancing and -- need was say “the Deseronto Road!” Carolyn Wartman is fond of Deseronto also of
correspondence but not the kind Miss Clare teaches! C. Turnbull & S. Boyce 11a PERSONALS We are the kids from 11a Who sit in our seats and dream
all day Some of us though, are still
wide awake And for the others, the blame
we take. Now there’s Wicklam
and Wood forever late Still sleeping on their last
night’s date, But there’s Allen and
Dillenbeck never asleep But up in their work they
always keep. Next come our Roberts, Shorty
and Mic In basketball to their players
they stick, Our Audreys,
sitting it two outside rows Gossip and gab, while our
Williams repose. Here comes Frances our shooting
leader While all the others are trying
to beat her, Them Amelda
Dickerson by name And Morris whose marks are
about the same. Beware of Peggy whenever she’s
mad! Followed by Eugenia who’s not
doing bad. Then there’s Don Porter our
basketball star And Mildred Jackson who eats
from a jar. We have two Vanalstynes
both average in class, And Marion English a bright
little lass, Next comes our Radio Singer Ruth
Hall And Marie Clarke, Somebody’s
doll. We must include Marion who sits
beside Port And Grace who we’ve found is a
real good sport, Then there is Martin who talks
all the time and wee little Nancy who could
sit on a dime. And now my dear readers, that’s
just about all Except for Miss Grange who we think’s best of all and now you may rest in sweet
repose For this is the end and I must
close. Audrey Correll

it. Vivian Hartwich has a friend, Who talks to her when classes
end. Phyllis Gilbert with hair like Veronica, Doesn’t care much for Frank
Sinatra. Miss Clare said to Ilah

EVENTS
SADIE HAWKIN’S DANCE
Under the joint auspices of the Literary Society and Students’
Council, the first dance of the season was held last November 10. A large crowd was present and everyone
spent a very enjoyable evening. The
stage, decorated by members of the Literary Society and Students’ Council
under the direction of Robert Wartman, represented a gay harvest scene. Mr. Froud and Mr.
Smith were supervisors. During the
evening Spot Dances and a Paul Jones were held and a visitor was introduced
who caused quite a commotion among the young ladies who were forced to dance
with him. SKATING PARTY
Under the auspices of the Literary Society and Students’ Council an
informal skating party for teachers and pupils was held at N.C.V.E. Everyone went to the rink first to skate
and then congregated at the school for dancing. Hot dogs and chocolate mild was
served. Mr. Smith and Mr. Froud were the supervisors. CHRISTMAS DANCE The Christmas Dance was held in the
Assembly Hall, which was gaily decorated for the occasion by Mr. Froud and a crew of assistants from the Literary Society
and Students’ Council. The music was
supplied by records. The Literary
society and Students Council sponsored the dance and it was supervised by Mr.
Froud and Mr. Smith. ANNUAL DANCE On
Friday, February 23, the Annual Dance was held in the Assembly Hall under the
auspices of the Literary Society and Students council. the Assembly was decorated in red and white
by Mr. Froud and his assistants. Mr. Smith was Master of Ceremonies and

supplied by records. SPECIAL FEATURES
During the year there were several interesting features presented at
the school - two speakers, a film and a debate.
Dr. Nickoll of the Disney Studios,
Hollywood, gave us an informal talk on the art of whistling. He also told us about his trip overseas to
entertain allied servicemen.
Mr. Timmons of the Canadian Institute for the Blind spoke to us on the
vital work of his organization.
The Cadet Officer for M.D. 3 presented a film on First Aid in
Battle. It was very realistic indeed,
as can be judged by the number of prostrate females carried out by Mr. Smith
and his assistant First Aiders. A
debate entitled, “Should the Government Control Radio Broadcasting” was
presented in the Assembly Hall. Gordon
McLellan and Frank Slingerland took the affirmative
side, while Joan Santer and Shirley Luby upheld the negative.

Ontario. Dr. Nevelle,
a former pupil of the school was introduced by Dr. G. U. Morden, a former
principal.
Miss Shirley Boyce, our Valedictorian, gave ample evidence that
N.C.V.I. has not lost its gift of producing forceful and eloquent speakers. It
is also now, as formerly, producing very fine scholars. The Fox Gold Medal was won this year by
James Richards who also carried off the Princeps
Alumnus while th Princeps
alumna went to Clara Turnbull. The
Memorial Scholarship was won by David McLellan. In Middle school,, Helen Creighton was the
winner of the Fox Gold Medal. The
Lower school Gold Medal went to Audrey Correll. Audrey Walsh captured the 11b commercial medal and Doris Scott the 12b Medal.
Congratulations, all! |
