What is IVAI?
IVAI is a combination of hard work, brains, conscientiousness, will
and alertness. We simply refuse to commit suicide or leave the country.
Miss Hegarty agrees with us that our French and Latin are far above
average.
Choc and Kay are the brains of IVAI. Our cadets are the hand
somest in the photo (the camera was a long way away). Most of our
girls were in the sports. Our class contains many swimmers and
lifesavers.
IVAI likes—Week-ends, Wednesday afternoon, after 3 o’clock, be
fore 9 o’clock, lunch hours and revision periods.
IVAI dislikes—Wednesday mornings, Junior, work, the picture of
the girl and the dog on the wall in the classroom, Chemistry, Latin,
Physics, History, Geography, English, French, Maths B and Maths A.
IVAI is sprouting genius with a pen in its hand, energy with too
much homework to do, laughter with a textbook under its arm and
eagerness for school with dragging feet.
IVAI wishes to thank all the teachers who have done their best for
us, and best of luck, everyone, with the exams.

FORM 4 A2
In the gloomy recesses of the local halls of learning, resides a faint
glimmer of light—4A2. Though we are a sister class to that of the
venerable historians of 4A1 we are considered slightly superior to them.
Graciously we share our room with 4B1 and lend a conscientious
hand to guide them from their misdemeanours. We have in our numbers
a fair quota of "numbskulls” and "brains,” the accent being on the
latter. Musical talent is definitely not lacking and often through the
day can be heard the melodious strains of "The Indian Love Call”
wafting along the corridor. A little disconcerting is the complete dis
respect for the class captain :
Mr. Law fills the honourable position of Form Teacher and finds
immense satisfaction in hammering us with Maths. A.
Our ranks are comprised of the following notables.
BOB KYDD : Has an indomitable spirit for Latin, Chemistry and
burning the midnight oil.
PETER VELA : Tolerates French but Miss Pigram finds it hard
to tolerate him. He is also a worthy high jumper.
CARL ALLAN : An unobtrusive soul who has escaped the purga
tory of Latin.
MAL WILSON : He shines at tennis, English and skipping over
hurdles.
BOB ROSE : Has notable scholastic ability, but worries terribly
when stumped in Latin.
RICHARD TIDBURY : Treats us to impromptu jazz recitals and
takes an active part in our theme song.
DES (Deadbeat) HOWELL : Sorely baited and badgered, and is
always seen gravely confirming a teacher’s statement from some large
book. Now with many a backward glance we bend low under the re
verberating cracks of our task masters whips and struggle towards that
doubtful goal—the Junior Examination.
