THE NEW ERA 63 Jack Moore: Mr. Kavanagh’s hon¬ or guest at after-four classes. But Jack’s a star on the track and field. Anne Murphy: III D’s “umph” girl. A very ardent hockey fan. John¬ son more information about it? Cecil Montgomery: From out of town, but seems to like Bran¬ don well enough. If you want to make him mad, tease him about his mustache. Glen Milliken: III D’s mischief maker, never still a minute. Has a nice voice, though. Kathleen Old: If “Kitty” happens to be at school, she takes her few subjects. Where she is, there is sure to be a conver¬ sation in progress. Bright spot in Chemistry, though. Anna Roberts: “Chewing gum again, Anna”. Her only care in this wide world is Latin. Earl Savage: Miss Insley’s only hope for ’39 III D ever to be¬ come famous. Takes Latin with us. Remember the day he gave a wrong answer? Eileen Singleton: Of the Searle and Singleton bubble gum fac¬ tory. Often seen in III I) cloak room talking foreign dialects. Also a jitterbug of note. Jan-et Summers: Tall, silent and serene, producing a pleasant effect. What’s this we hear about dentists, Janet? Florence Roberts: Often seen in a row with dear sister. Florence is short, rather dark, and an expert dancer. Sounds good. Peter Wytick: Always finds time to argue over anything or noth¬ ing. Seems fond of Brown. Joe Zatylny: One of those students who works hard and really pro¬ fits by it. Joe seems to love front seats—or is it the teach¬ ers ? —R.M. “CLASSY” PUNS The end of school Is only the commence¬ ment. Good pupils are a thing of the Pass. All teachers are classy. Arithmetic is Sum study. School Belles make themselves heard when told a lot. School rooms have twice as many eyes as pupils. Vitamins have to know ABC’s. Copy cats are the only animals allowed in school. Many backward pupils “No” all the ques¬ tions. Most pupils are all eyes. A school of fish should beware of the rod. History never grows too old for dates. She was a good little girl as far as good little girls go, and as far as good little girls go, she went. God could not be everywhere. There¬ fore He made mothers.—Jewish Proverb. Mr. Bateman: “Name the electrical unit of power, Jim.” Jim Reid: “The what?” Mr. Bateman: “Right.” First Fly: (on cornflakes box): “What is the rush?” Second Fly: “Don’t you see the sign? —’Tear along the line?” Mr. Kavanagh: “Speers, give the prin¬ cipal parts of the verb, ‘to hear’.” Speers: “Psss ' t, Joe, what’s the verb to hear?” Joe: “I dunno.” Speers: “Idunno, idunare, idunnavi and idunnatum.” Mr. Kavanagh: “What on earth do you think you are giving?” Speers: “I dunno.”

62 THE NEW ERA Ruth Bland: Student council rep¬ resentative. Often seen reading Ivan-lio! Second favorite pas¬ time—dodging Virgil. Marion Searle: Girls’ basketball representative and captain of tbe form team. Eileen’s part¬ ner-in-crime, but you’ll like ber. Jack Neelin: Boys’ basketball rep¬ resentative. If you ever want to find him, look in the Latin room. He’ll be there. Helen. August: An excellent gig¬ gler. One of Mr. Bell’s favor¬ ites (!?) Grenville Bates: Between Latin and girls, Grenville is a busy lad. Said to be an eminent jitter- bug. Sadie Boyle: Prominent member of form bask etball team. De¬ nies interest in “that man that had a farm”. Joe Cowie: Elastics are handy ar¬ ticles for school, eh, Joe? Oh well, Joe is our star in Algebra (heh!) Marion Donald: Holds class gum- chewing record. Is Anna’s com¬ panion and fellow-hookey-play¬ er. She knows better now, though. Cliff Durnin: Bet Miss Inslcy does some mental “durnin” when Cliff comes late to her Algebra periods. Cliff is a brilliant ticket salesman. Jessie Ewing: A rather quiet girl when you don’t know her. Jes¬ sie won’t have a prince like the rest of us; as we hear, she falls for Earls. Boh Elston: Bob’s time is divided between chewing gum and tak¬ ing candid camera shots. Smart work, Robert! Lenore Everett: A quiet girl who sits back and eats peppermints. Also an expert giggler. Jack Buckham: A handsome red¬ head. Motto: “Anything for a laugh.” Denies interest in III C. Myrtle Graham: A red-head who was with us for a couple of weeks—then disappeared. Elizabeth Gajerski: III D’s wonder girl. Never has her homework done, but takes borne a report with 90’s on it. John Graham: III D’s champion paper-tearer-upper. Also tall, dark and handsome? Bill Harwood: A quiet fellow who works hard and gets places. Another of those ticket-selling wizards. Mary Hughes: III D’s misfortune maid. She “studies and studies” —and still fails. Favorite de¬ light: graphs. Fred Johnston: Fred used to come to school once in a while. But hockey was much more inter¬ esting. Fred’s a star, you know. Sheila Keant-s: Takes a few sub¬ jects. She’s a poetess, but pre¬ fers to keep her talents hidden. Hugh Knowlton: A member of the trouble-causing “Three Mus¬ keteers”. What a dreadful nickname you have, Hugh. Cliff. Lawson: Can be clever if be chooses. Promised we wouldn’t mention his nickname. Margaret MacMillan: Has a part¬ nership agreement with Sadie for answering questions. But it doesn’t work in exams. Bill Meadows: Another red-head, who giggles with Joe. Interest¬ ed in the veterans of II A. Ruth Mclnnes: The “noise” in the far corner of the Physics Lab. Favorite saying: “I don’t get it”. Murray McPherson: III D’s silent Book of Knowledge. Mr. Kav- anagh gets Murray’s Latin un¬ der several names.
