2 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Tuesdey, April 14, 1964 REPORTER BIDS FAREWELL The Donevan Scheduled To By TOM McKAY (DCI Reporter) The Donevan Oriterion for 1963-64 has just recently been completed and for those who missed out on this informative and. memorable little goodie it's "'tough bananas'. Every student had at least three months in which to buy one and by now it is too late. Thanks to Judy Dalton, our editor, and Mr. Hodgson the staff sponsor, the book should be ready for circulation around the end of April. Everyone has been looking forward to seeing it. As a result, all are waiting anxiously for the big day. Also we should give a word of appre- ciation to Mr. Hodgson for the yearbook Staff Party for which he was kind enough to throw open his apartment doors, The buffet inchided chips, cheesies, nuts, pizza and numerous other choice little tid-bits. Due to a birthday conflict, that party ended with the gang in tune (?) with 'Happy Birth- day"? to our host, but of this tume it is not our privilege to give out any confidential in- formation (in regard to his age of course). Instead of gving our champ a worthless gift, we al- lowed him to play endlessly on his piano. Also, prior to the exams, one more group of DCI patriots were put out of a job for the remainder of the year. These, needless to say, are the cheer- leaders and at this time the whole school would like to ex- press its appreciation. Special mention 'should be made of Pat Vann and Sharon Clemens, the Senior and Junior cheerleaders' captains, for their excellent de- pendability and competent leadership. Approximately halfway through the second turn Mr. Smith decided it was time to make arrangements for a free gym at least once a week and with this help on our side, we made plans to form the Bad- minton Club of Donevan for 764. The interested members are now vigorously trying out to win a position for.. the upcoming tournament; with the superb executive chosen, it seems there is little chance of any mediocre talent dominating the scenés; but time will tell. CURLERS RETIRE The club which formed even pefore the Badminton Club has now completed a full schedule and the Donevan Curlers will re- tire for another year. Although there were outstanding records set in this year's rally, we can phies next year, since our boys have now gained all this price- less experience, TORONTO TRIP? A glance, now, into the fu- ture, brings to mind many im- portant events to come . . No! Exams are not what we had in mind, Important things could be the promised visit to see Caesar and Cleopatra at the Crest, but Mr. McDuff and Mrs. Milne are procrastinating for obscure reasons, There is also talk of a prom coming up in the short side of a month. Although hearsay tells us the atmosphere is a proposed "Carnival" theme and numer- ous booths, plus a merry-go- round will capture the scene. However "mum's the word". Don't spread the gossip too thick for fear of over-crowding the dance floor on this occa- sion. In view of past proms fire marsha's have been warned by undiscovered informants, -- to check the safety regulations re- garding the number of people to be admitted, due to fire haz- ard. But, as I said before, this is all rumor and actual fact re- veals there is mo worry what- so-ever, as long as there are several exit doors open, to pre- vent panic, if this should occur. More important is the fact that we have Cheryl Hudson standing by to dole out the advice and give the orders. Cheryl, from past experience, is well aware of the problems at hand and we can be sure this year will equal and surpass the excellent standards set at for- mer formals in DCI. RICCIO BAND It has been declared a show to be seen and with the famous Pat Riccio Band from Toronto, how can it miss? The refresh- ments are to be along the French buffet idea and Cheryl and Miss Lidkea are at their best, to please the populace. The decoration committee un- der Othmar Telop is well under way and things are shaping up to be the finest yet. The only other details to mention might possibly be the date, which: is Friday, May 1, 1964 and the price, but it would probably be better to forget about that for the time being. There is talk about the east- erner who, on visiting a big col- lege footbaill game on the west coast (after viewing the numer- ous buildings and connected in- stitutions of learning), declared to his host, the dean of the college: 'What a plant you have been be sure of at least three tro- here! What a campus! What "Criterion" Appear Soon girls! How many students would you say you have?" "About one in a thousand," was the reply. Meanwhile, at Donevan, you can now witness the scholars and voters of tonmorrow, and ;|a promising bunch they are. With the finals less than eight weeks away, students are shed- ding the coasting attitude and forming a new outlook on life. It is not too late, so they say, but when one attempts to study, especially that history, he is discouraged before he can get comfortable in his chair. However, Mr. Sheffield and Mr. Woods are doing their ut- most to lighten the load for ail. In fact, there are a few cases where Mr. Woods has cut the work in half and that is literally speaking, MORE SPARES However, the scholars concerned appreciate the sur- plus of spares, in order to work in several hours of excess studying .(if there can be an excess). The Donevan Grade 13's are shaping up. well we hope, as zero-hour closes in on them. For many students this year will end all years of formal educa- tion as they make their way into the world of unforeseen circum- stances. It brings to mind the employer, upset over the resig- nation of one of his employees: BOSS: Why are you quitting, Bill? Wages too low? Bill: No, the wages are OK, but I'm afraid I'm keeping a horse out of a job. So much for that! Because of reasons previously mentioned in this literary mas- tenpiece, plus unprecedented obligations and lastly, popular opinion, this report will be dis- continued for a short period of about five months. Even worse still, if Mr. Sheffield can't. find a new reporter for next year, this could possibly be the final word from this end of the city -- but don't count on 'it! All going well, Molly John- ston wil] take over the post and continue the excellent standards set by previous columnists (es- pecially from Donevan! ) One last word of wisdom to keep in mind as the flowers come up: "Don't grumble be- cause noses have thors; be thankful thorns have roses. GOOD CUSTOMER Apart from gold, West Ger- many imports 'goods worth about $126,000,000 from South Africa. Daffodil Tea April 30th By EILEEN MENARD (St. Joseph's Hi) ' Since we have finally finished our second term exams and the weather is so "Springy" we are beginning the preparations for our annual Daffodil Tea. We have. fond memories of last year's tea. Outside the at- mosphere was one of a regular February blizzard in April, while inside the auditorium the atmosphere was one of bloom- ing daffodils and sweet tea. This year we certainly hope for ap- propriate weather. The tea is going to be held on Thursday, April 30. Soon the various committees will be formed such as decorat- ing and lunch. The main purpose for the tea this year is to raise money to expand our library for the new school. We are holding a raffle on a daffodil because after all it is a. Daffodil Tea. Yes, some lucky person will win a daffodil but not just an ordinary daffodil. This flower will be made of money, $50 worth of money. Tickets may obtained shortly from any, of the St. Joe's students. 0 FIND FOOTPRINTS Queensland Museum experts have identified footprints found in a coal mine near Brisbane, Australia, as those of a dino- saur, 48 our favorite Picture in the Times IS AVAILABLE ON A DELIVERY BASIS Call at the Times Office, select the picture you wish » . » order it . . . pay the deposit . . . and it will be mailed to you promptly--forty-eight hours eae No phone orders please.
