Chalk was not used in any war for bullets, nor pupils for targets. if Pk Pk Qishlighiz During th past year IIB captured the Lower Form Debating Shield, after some hard struggles against IIA, IB, and Commercial forms. Pauline Tancock and lack Manzer were our representatives who brought us through to victory. lt must be remarked that Bill Statham and Wes Coombe debated in the pre- liminaries. Much praise is due our room teacher, Mr. St. Iohn, and also Miss Shaw who helped our form literary to be the success it was. There have been no outstanding athletes in IIB this year but when the entire form combined on Field Day we almost brought home the Shield. Fred Milligan, our representative on the rugby team, played fine rugby. Ieanne Coutts and Alice Barrett on the lunior Girls' Basketball team played their part in bringing about the victories of that team. At Qakville on the County Field Day Wes. Coombe did much to help the Burlington contingent bring home the Lions' Cup. On the whole IIB are not ashamed of their athletic standing as compared with the other forms in the school. vp :nc 1: Things we should like to know z- 1. When Ariel Summers is going to start dieting? 2. Why Mary Edwards always hap- pens to lose her homework, if she thinks she hasn't it done? 5. Why Frances Steele is always very industriously searching Cwith her head homework in Marlatt says, under her deskl for her Latin period when Miss The following people go to the boardf W as 1: wk Ellie lgriuate life Ariel Summers, so 'tis said, To reduce, on a diet was fed, People now marvel at the fact That Ariel still remains intact. The life of Mary Burnet, you know, Is taken up with dances and shows. She'll be a gold diggern, sure as fatel Which personages bachelors hate. For Wally Warner we must mourn, On Friday 15th he was born. But his birthday comes just once a year, So superstition he need not fear. This poem may go on for ever and aye, But IIB Ites are rather shyg No information will they give, With respect to how they really live. Bill Siazflzam.

Perhaps the most lamentable departure is that of Rose Petals Ruffyf' Ruffy left after Easter and is reported to be head of the Bell Telephone. His hobby, we believe, is digging ditches. He was noted for dodging homework and also for losing his Latin book at con- venient times. Ruffy known throughout the school is greatly missed by everybody. Pete Minnes, another popular stu- dent, left about Christmas and has not been seen since. Probably he is a stage hand in some show. YVe must not forget to mention Ab Taplin who was forced to quit school through weakness-in his eyesl The absence of this bouncing boy leaves IB without weight and we are still below normal. Uthers who also ran are: Vera Keyworth, who can still be seen around town by a few, Roy Phillips of temper fameg Iack Barker, Glenne 0'Kelly, Nesbitt Plotke and Dorothy Willey. The first form tobogganing party, though a much smaller affair, helped to relieve the monotony of the long winter term so that we did not need to be roused to action when it came time to prepare for the Annual At Home. For this event, we girls blew up balloons. Our modesty is suggested as the reason why they decreased so suddenly. But we congratulate our IB boys on their smart appearance and efficient service as members of the St. Iohn Lunch Brigade. -Joan Purkzlr. Pk lk wk Mr. St. Iohn thinks that the ugh grunts are catching, especially now that Allan Thorpe has acquired the habit from Iimmy Smith. IB's history has been made along literary, athletic and social lines. There- fore, we wish to trace its development in these phases of school life. Learning to express oneself is a part of intellectual development that has been stressed in IB and we feel sure that we have made remarkable progress. Three editions of our form paperg The IB News Flash have been issued. In our organized class literary, training in public speaking is provided for our students and we hope some of the fa- mous speakers of the future will be able to attribute their success to the start they had in IB. In the early part of the year IA and IB united to put on the first of the Inter- form literaries. Under the able super- vision of Mr. Freeman a good programme of musical numbers and speeches was prepared. Nancy Scott's splendid inter- pretation of The Song My Paddle Sings deserves special mention. We also have taken part in the Inter- form debating contest and we are very proud of our representatives, Nevada and Serena who were successful against IA. Although eliminated in the second round by IIB we feel that Nevada and Robbins were worthy opponents for these Lower School champions. How about Commencement? We feel sure that the IB sailors' opening chorus gave the programme a wonderful start. Although quite inexperienced as yet, we do our part in form literaries, school literaries, debates and commencement exercises. wk ik Pk Burt Sovereign does not know the difference between shoe laces and ten dollar bills.
