50 RAREBITS Ellifth ilinrm lmrarle Editor-Marguerite Metcalfe Ruskin once said, If you want knowledge you must toil for it, and if pleasure you must toil for it. Toil is the law. Pleasure comes through toil, and not by self-indulgence and indolence. When one gets to love work, his life is a happy one. I won- der if there are any happy people in Fifth Form? I am not so sure that we have all been toiling, but have we not rather been pushing our way through for five years? Five f?J years ago we ran happily up to the High School doors. The first year We were introduced to Latin-what we termed the dead subject, French- the language spoken by those spark- ling, delightful people in Europe, Algebra-the use of which We never really understood. Oh, and many other subjects! Each year We have learned more and more-at least it has been taught to us-and now we have reached the last form, Looking ahead of us we see empty space. One almost feels as if one were at the end of a gangplank and wonders what is going to happen next-in the future there may be some of us who will dis- tinguish ourselves and bring honour to B. H. S. We are depending on Annie, Edna and Jerry, We hope they won't disappoint us nor the school, but if they do, well, IV, III, II, and I Forms it's up to you to produce others to take their places, We pass the responsibility of Fifth Form on to the present IV Form and wish them lots of luck! To you We fling the flaming torch, Be yours to hold it high. ilinrm IH TITLE FIRST SECOND THIRD Most popular ............ ............. M id. Taylor .,...........,,.........

RAREBITS 51 Zllnurth illnrm illvuiem A Editor-J. Harold Lambshead Once again spring comes, and with it comes the pleasure of introducing Fourth Form. What would the Rugby team have done without Fourth Form? On field day Fourth Form was well represented among the contestants. Bill Galashan, Jim Ferrey, Tom Leighton, Frank Elsam, Eddie Har- shaw and Bill Ayliife held up the boys' end, while Elsie Hodsdon, Grace Virtue, Kathleen Sheppard, and Annie Smith helped a great deal from the girls' point of view. Every body rem-embers the Fourth Form Literary! How Kathleen Cole- man acted as chairman, how the girls presented their Gym number, how Jim Ferrey, Bill Galashan, and Tom Leighton sang, how The Fatal Quest pleased every one, how Don't Believe All You Hear provided hu- mour, and how1 Action crowned the programme. In short, the Whole 'Literary was a great credit to Miss Shaw and Fourth Form. The fact that We may claim honour academically is shown by the high marks of Phyllis Thomas and Muriel Metcalfe, Harry Allen, who won such great distinction for B, H. S. by winning the Lions' Club Essay Contest for Ontario, is registered in Fourth Form. Incidentally, Harry's essay is now entered in the International con- test. BRIGHT BOY Mrs. McKeon fDictating a note in Ancient Historyl-Via Flaminia, Bill Galashan-Please spell the last part of that sentence. Mrs. McKeon-F-L-A-M-I-N-I-A. Bill-Spell the first name too. HSEZ YOU!! Pete Smith CReading French sen- tence . . . Ces Yeux.J How do you pronounce the last two words? Miss Eby-Ces Yeux! Pete-Sez Me. .illuurth Zlinrm J. Harold Lambshead. 1. Down in the lower hall There is a tidy room, Down there, Miss Shaw is all That drives away the gloom. 2. This room is the Fourth Form, Where all are students bright, There never is a storm To dim our calmer sight. 3. Some boys and girls, like larks, Are happy as the day, Not every one gets high marks, But we go our merry way, 4. In rugby we are good, In basketball the same, On field day there's no hood By us pulled o'er the game. 5. The Fourth Form Lit. was best That ever was pulled off. We understand the rest, As hats to us they doff. 6. But as this rhyme now closes, We dedicate our room, With all that it composes, To stay till latest doom.
