HIGH SCHOOL HIGHLIGHTS By Myke Dyer Well the seniors almost did it last Friday afternoon with Bur- ington. With the score standing 62 for Oakville, the Burlington team pulled off a sleeper pass in the last tive seconds and served the winningT-D. lt really was a heart-breaker to lose. The week before, the seniors succumbed to Saltfleet 33-0, and to Burlington again 19-0. The juniors have won only one of their three games, They charg: ed over Saltfleet 12-6, but bowed out to Burlington twice. 7-6 and 11-0. Big Bennie Hodgens and the Farrow twins, George and Grant, are spanking the juniors this year. This coming Saturday, we hope the Old Boys meet the seniors in their annual struggle. If this game is played this week, the O-B's are hoping greatly for a first win! Last Wednesday, the high school French clubs held a com- bined meeting and corn roast at home of Beth Craddock. With five carloads of students attending and Miss Mackay presiding, the evening was a great success! Last Friday night the Girls' Athletic Society sponsored the annual Sadie Hawkins Dance. The Sadies' Social. Judging from the crowd that danced to the music of Taton's Band-box, the girls went all out to get themselves part- ners. As far as the males were concerned, the evening was a ter- rific success because the girls dipped into their wallets to. foot the bills!! And so, hats Off to the Girls' Athletic Society and presi dent Bev. Hills for sponsoring a highly dance!!

Word has it from Bill Hall, one of last year's grads - now at Royal Roads in B.C. that he is on the first football team there. A great accomplishment! If you read this Bill, congratulations!! Last week in an exhibition game with the seniors, the juniors won, but at the same lost Bob Nairn when he broke his collar bone. Here's hop- ing that you mend soon, Bob!! Writing this column by proxy is not quite as easy as might be imagined, so if any of you students have announcements of coming events at the school or anything outstanding be sure to let me know. Give me a call at 947 and we'll see it hits the press. So, until next week--thirty!! ALWAYS VIOLENT Even when he's playing a law- abiding hero, Humphrey Bogart can't escape violence. For a scene in "The Enforcer" Bogart, as an assistant district] attorney, was quizzing Ted de Corsfa, one of the chief villains of] the piece. Bogart turned quickly, caught a telephone with his elbow, and knocked it sgainst "de Corsia's head. As the assistant district at- torney, Bogart apologized. As Bo- gart, he thought it was a big laugh.
