We are promised a second Percy Williams in lack Burnett, our star sprinter, and pole vaulter. The juvenile medal was won by William Atkinson, our futurelongdistance runner and high jump champion. Allen Hedley one of the smallest boys of IA handles the 8 lb. shot as though it were a baseball and exhibits excellent form in doing it. So this shows you that he will later turn out to be a great honour to the B. H. S. YVe have some of the best re- lay runners for their size and l'll wager they can give larger boys good advice. We are not only good in athletics but in scholarship and social lines also. The boys are not the only ones: the girls are a good help too. They are only waiting till the bugle blows.

Commercial has great hopes of heading the list. Qbnr illiterarg Qur form Lit. as you are all aware Happened one Friday when all was fair, First came the chorus, that went over big. Next followed lVlyra's smart little jig. Then came the wand drill cleverly done, Stevens who yawns and stays out half the night, Florence, our gay little country lass, Atkinson, who torments and gives all the sass . Ma1'jorie from the Beach enters when she pleases, Langton, as we know, everyone teases. Hannah, the giddy one, works hard and tries to pass. Last of all, Lester Brain concludes Our Commercial Class. -Jlargarei E. Sheppard. Bugs' Sparta By Iocii HARROW Uurtiormhasplayed an important part in school sports. It has had representa- tives on four teams. Un our champion- ship rugby team, Gord Rusby and lock Harrow capably represented our form. Henry Atkinson and Charlie Belchamber were the backbone of the Iunior Basketball team. Henry also earned a position on our noble hockey team. lock Harrow represented our form on the Senior Basketball team. Part ot' the success ofthe many teams of the B. H. S. is due to the splendid coaching of our noble Art Langton who unable to play on the field did his work from the Side lines in the form of manager. Art spent much of his valuable time in showing the boys their mistakes and how they could be remedied. Art is indeed a member of our form of whom we are proud. Art, we take our hats off to you. 1

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.

Current events, which proved very helpful and enjoyable. After the Christ- mas holidays we continued these meet- ings, but instead of having the regular program, we had several debates in which the pupils put forth every effort to have their side win. During the latter part of Ianuary we, along with the two first forms, held our tobogganing party. This briefly outlines our form activ- ities for the year, but it would not be complete if we did not mention the fact that we also do our part in the athletic activities of our school. One of our members, Phyllis Stainer, plays defence on the Iunior Basket ball team. So it must seem clear to all who read that Form I C is no insignificant unit among the forms of the B. H. S.
