32 AURORA BOREALIS WE WONDER? 1. Why some people eat so fast and others so slow. 2. Why Margaret Tanton thinks she’s the whole ocean be¬ cause she has a wave in her hair. 3. Why there is such a family resemblance between cer¬ tain boys and girls who are not relatives. 4. Why some people must learn to play the Banjo. 5. Why some boys are tall and slim and others short and stout. 6. Why some people are always late for breakfast. If they don’t hear the riser, why not? 7. If “red” is warning or aggressive colouring. 8. Why teachers are on duty, and what would happen if they weren’t. 9. If every minute is worth a cent why so many Scotch people waste so many minutes. 10. How a boy’s straight pompadour changes overnight in¬ to a marcel. 11. Why brain waves can’t be made permanent. Visitor: Can you tell me if Florence Lampley is up in her room?

Gussie Dale whose hair is red, Is late in getting out of bed. Smitty seems in quite a thrill, O gee, she’s going out with Bill. Loma has a flare for shows, To three a week she always goes. Gilby loves to be sarcastic, When the boys get too enthusiastic. Stewie is always mopping floors, Dusting dressers, chairs and doors. Blanche is blonde with eyes of blue, She always has a smile for you. Alfie’s rule for keeping slim, Turn handsprings weekly in the gym. Monty simply loves to dance, She toddles every single chance.

Yes, you will find Alberta College graduates all over the world. “Gentlemen prefer blondes—with just a few red heads present, too,” says Mr. Birdsall. Scotty: “Trig, seems like a lumber camp, there are so many logs about.” Evan says there are two ways to win a girl. One is to spend money on her. So is the other.

AURORA BOREALIS 33 Dr. McCall, our principal, , Stately and amply tall. Is daily watching over us, And shepherding us all. Since seldom we’re ideal, and Of rules break not a few. He summons us to meet with him, And tells us what to do. And when within the office walls, We firmly seek to stand, But find it very difficult, Under the Doctor’s hand. He makes a firm impression on Each erring girl or boy; He does it for our benefit, It is not for our joy. The matron of the College here, Is Mrs. Betts by name. And all the students resident, Know she’s a worthy dame. When anyone is sick or ill, She promptly comes around With plasters and with medicine, Until their health is sound. The Lady Dean of A. C. N., Miss Woods, with auburn hair. In residence has won her fame, Presiding o’er the fair. Mr. Fisher, the College dean, And teacher has his care, To tell us when to go to bed, And see that we are there. Of others mention needs be made, Miss Burkholder, Miss Coone, Miss Field, Miss Gremm, McKerlie, too, To College are a boon. And Birdsall, Hyndman, Hickerson, Miss Jamieson, also, Deserve a worthy mention here, Their work they surely know. If anything seems to offend, A word, a verse, a line; I beg you to remember that A rhymer must make rhyme.
