               Walter Morgan, having recently discovered that he (Nicks a nice
         “Oomph’’ into putting the shot, has set aside ideas of an operatic career in
         favour of an athletic one. (Sighs of relief.)
               Boys who were members of School teams in 1959 are :—

               Best of luck to fellow students in the public examination predicament.
         and thank you to our teachers who have worked so hard, in face of stiff
         opposition to prepare us for the Junior.

                                did I sow,
                        And with my own hand nurtured
                                it to grow;
                        And this was all the harvest

         FORM 4A2 --
                               Form Teacher; Mr. Doube.
                       Form Captains: Roger Sands; Phyllis Hargreaves.
               This year, our class was promoted from 3A3 to 4A2, and our only new
         comer was Ruth Hogg from Cleveland, who was welcomed by the four lonely
         girls.
               Our class consists of a “mixture” of people—athletes, musicians, New
         Australians, “delinquents” (8), cadets (6), “detentionists,” typiste (1).
         mathematicians, scientists, red-head (1), brainstorms (?), and “school
         spirits”.
               We are proud to have in the class such record-breaking athletes as
         David Monks (runner-up to champion under 16 year olds at the House
         Sports), and Roger Sands (who came fifth in the cross country). Other
         “sporting” people have represented the school in fields of basketball, tennis,
         football, and soccer. We are also proud to have such a cadet as Vitauts
         Klaikalietis, who became a new recruit this year.
               As we close our form notes for 1959 we realize that next year our class
         will be split up. Only a few of us will be here next year, and so to those who
         must leave us to go out into the big world, we say. “Good luck to you, and
         whenever you feel down in the dumps, just think of the good old days when
         you were in 4A2.”

         FORM 4B--
                             Form Teacher: Mr. Christensen.
                               Form Captain: H. Percival.
                             Form Vice-Captain: G. Pearson.
               Form Four “B” is an industrial form, whose inmates are boys. In this
         class, we have the following cadets: Wright. Gwynne, Rowlingson, Kimlin,
         Simpson, Heck, Slater, Percival, Dunstan, Haylock, Morgan. Ferguson. Hoy.
         McHugh. McKell, Harm, Pyle, Cloherty, and Cdt. Scarbrough.
               This year Four “B” was well represented in the football. In the “B”
