THE ASHBURIAN 15 FORM NOTES THE SIXTH FORMER ' S LOT IF he ' s neat, he ' s conceited. If he ' s careless, he ' s a bum. If he ' s pleasant, he ' s a flirt. If he ' s brief, he ' s a grouch. If he hurries, he overlooks things. If he takes his time, he ' s lazy. If he ' s ener- getic, he ' s trying to make a record. If he ' s deliberate, he ' s too slow to catch a cold. If you hit him, he ' s a coward. If he hits you back, he ' s a bully. If he outwits you, he ' s a sneak. If you see him first, he ' s a dum ' bell. If he makes good, he ' s lucky. If he misses his chances, he ' s a simp. If he gets promoted, he ' s got pull. If he doesn ' t, ah well, what ' s the use . . .? FORM V . It seems to be the fashion to write form notes in verse, So herewith is our effort, for better or for worse. September last we started, a hetrogeneous crowd, But now we ' re really different and only half as loud. Why some of us arc working! It ' s no longer a surprise. When Vander reels off Euclid and Keyes his homework tries. There have been English periods when without fuss or noise, Dover has been speechless, which mystifies us boys. We ' re really quite a mixture, not all of us are good, But when a brain wave hits us and we ' re really in the mood, We ' ll surprise e ' en Mr. Sibley by writing up our notes, And fill examinations with an amazing lot of quotes . Fischel doing factors is something you should view His look of concentration and face a blueish hue. When Howie Clark is reading French and doing a translation The language that he ' s talking in requires some explanation! In all we number twenty-two and tho ' deserving mention The rest of us are currently too busy in detention. But really we ' re a happy team and should you ever doubt it Just come along to classroom D — we ' ll tell you all about it!

THE ASHBURIAN FORM I — NOTES On the ground floor of our school, Is a class room where we sit. There isn ' t any other room, Half as nice as it. It ' s away from all the noise Of all the other boys. It ' s warm and comfy too. And there ' s lots for us to do. We are made up in divisions. The best are in Div. A. If we ' ll ever get beyond that It ' s difficult to say. There are lazy boys and busy boys, Fat and thin ones too. But whatever shape or make we are, There ' s lots for us to do. Our monitor is Bogart, A round and chubby lad. Although he ' s full of mischief We ' ve never known him bad. In all we ' re eighteen pupils. Boarders and day boys too. But whatever group we come in, There ' s lots for us to do. I saw a r a t sitting on a wall boo I cried and it jumped into its hole
