VOL. 1 NO. 18 TEE =a THE OSHAWA TIMES WEEKLY FOR AND ABOUT TODAY'S TEENAGERS THE OSHAWA TIMES, TUESDAY, JUNE'16, 1964 PAGES 1A. to 4A WONDERFUL YEAR ENDS OCVI Highlights Reviewed By RUTH ANNE TAVES Central News Quite a few things have taken place during this past year at Central and to assess the year properly we must look at each event again. The school year of 1963-64 at OCCI started off with a bang with Initiation Day. I imagine 'quite a few freshmen have fond remembrances of that day! The costumes were something to see as were the various "punish- ments" that the poor Grade ninets had to suffer through. At the beginning of the year Central lost a few of its teaching stafr as Well as acquiring new mem- bers for the faculty. And the same thing is happening again with five of our teachers leav- ing and over a dozen new ones coming ia. Elections for students' council were held early in the term with the ultimate victory of the Peppo Party led by Brian Wil- liams. As was Stated a of weeks ago, they fulfilled all their promises and even more, despite the efforts of the op- position Zippo Party. A new and improved system of government was tried and proved very successful. By it there were no parties among the class repre- sentatives. SPORTS GROUPS The GAA elections were also held in the fall and the elected executive has helped the organ- ization through another profiting year, Such things as a candy sale, the GAA *'Cotiilien"' dance, TEEN TALK TAKES HOLIDAY The school year is nearly over and summer vacations will soon begin -- in fact they have for some lucky students who escaped writing exams. Teen Talk too is taking a summer holiday. Publication wil resume in early Sep- tember. High scheel correspondents and all students whe helped make Teen Talk a success are to be thanked and con- gratulated. Have a great sumamer! couple /|OOSSA finals and played fine | and the gymnastics meet were sponsored by the group. The one bad aspect of the whole year was the poor turnout for girls' intramural sports, especially im the senior grades, and this prob- lem is a very difficult one to solve. We can always hope the response will be better next year. The BAA, as most Centralites know, is not a profit-making organization. In fact they often go in the hole. This is because of all the expenses for. referees and travelling, etc., that come from having basketball and foot- ball teams. However, with the help of a donation from students' council the BAA about broke even this year. Let us remember that if it was aet fer this group we would not have football and basketball games; so we must give them ail the credit they deserve. Speaking of sports, football teams went our two to the) games although they did not win the championships. Our junior and senier basketball | teams also tried for COSSA but | were foiled again. We stili have | lots of talent though and we're ready for next year's COSSA. The girls too had their share | in the sports' field with both| junior and senior volleyball and basketball teams. Our gym- nastics team is all girls but more sis is mow being placed on getting the boys into this sport as well. Finally, our track and field team is im- proving and, as our beys be- come trained in this, we should | soon be on top in this depart- ment... Central's cheerleaders have cheered faithfully at most of these sports events and done a fine job of keeping up school spirit throughout the year. PHOENIX Under the editorship of Ted/| Clark, an excellent year book, the '"'Phoenix", was turned out. The whole staff worked en this for most of the year and their | hard work is really evident in| this fine edition. The Centralite, our school newspaper, was also well edited by Fran Kruger and her staff. Three editions were put out, bigger than before, and with several new features. Then, just recently the geography classes went on their annual trip. Most of our clubs have had a successful year. The French, German, Spanish, _ sketching, chess, curling, badminton and school services clubs are all included in this. The Drama Club put onan excellent pres- entation at Central Presents with the help of the stage crew and the make-up club. The Library representatives have taken turns keeping things organized in the library, and the Grade 9; junior and senior bands kept. us well supplied musically. All the teachers who sponsored these clubs and or- ganizations deserve a lot of credit and thanks, PREFECTS The Prefects, I am sure; have proved invaluable to the teach- ers in keeping things under control at noon-hours and other occasions when they have been on duty. Centralites have come to respect these students and they are now easily, recogniz- able in their new gold jackets. All in all, it has been a truly wonderful year. Next year we will be starting a mew phase in the life of Central as a school, with the new addition and all. Let. as strive to make ourselves aS proud of the next few years of our school's life as we are of the first 14. For myself, I have, really enjoyed writing this column which hardly seemed like work at all. I certainly hope that those who write columns next year will get as much benefit from it as I have.
