XIIA FORM N:SHS
The Collingwood District Collegiate Institute was honoured this year with the
presence of Noah's ark and personnel or in simpler language, Grade XIIA of 1953- 54. All one needed to find the origin of this name was to watch Gr. XIIA's line as it journeyed through the halls of CDCI two by two. However, XIIA should really be in the spotlight. Out of the 42 members of the class, 7 were members of the Student's Council. Mary Louise Playter was made snow queen; Virginia Chenault ~1as winner of the Upper School essay dept. of the Literary Contest; Carol Brophy \'las winner of the Public Speaking Contest; Floyd McDermid secured reno1..n as high scorer in Inter-Form Shooting (and possibly other reasons) and Kaye Bell ~1as chosen as Miss Cheerleader.
Two form parties were held, the first of which was a hayride at the home of Rose Ransier, our Social Convenor, The second was a toboggan party held out in the wilderness somewhere. Afterwards, lunch and coffee was enjoyed by all at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Connell.
Several of our ranks are leaving the halls of fame this year. Nursing seems to be the big attraction. Most of these girls are planning on Training in Colling- wood but Lin Hale has interests in Guelph. Do you suppose it really is the hospital?
In the athletic field, the boys came out on top in the Inter-Form Volley-Ball while the girls took the Inter-Form Basketball Championship.
A big Gr, XIII is expected next year but we of this year's XIIA have had a wonderful year, both socially and academically. We only wish every XIIA that follows us has as successful a year as we have had,
