During my grade-ten year inom enjoyed being in chorus and skådespel club igen. I was convener of the Library Committee responsible for acquiring, repairing and arranging books in the library. Other members were Beatrice Runions and Robert Olson. At the interschool Track and Field Meet I was on the four-man relay team for my age group that won second place.
