RA 0Bur Zllnrm It's on the second landing, The first door, straight ahead, This little form of 1B And many have heard it said, There's lots of fun in this form, Though there's lots of work too, But we make ourselves happy, And that's the thing to do. But in this form there is a boy, Dick Turpin, Spider, Spike, Who lives a long, long way from here, And rides home on a bike, And also in this form there is An artist, Jean by name, And Hartley Watts, a dreamer, once To school at ten he came. RE BITS 57 There's Frank and Tim and Sunny Jim, Bessie, Muriel, Vi, And Margaret, and Helen Winn And Jacqueline so spryg And Basil Passant, who Is known far for his fame, There are also many others- Too many for me to name. Eiterarg 1B took a great part in the flrst form literary programme put on in May. It consisted of choruses, short skits, dances and individual numbers, which showed the talent in our form. Svperial ann Svrrnnh Glnmmvrrial Editor-Edith Siple As the graduating class of the Com- mercial Course we would like to give a resume of what the course has meant to us., Two years ago We started out with a fairly large class, but since that time many have left, only to be re- placed by a few new students and some ex-students who come to keep up their practice. The Special Commercial Class be- gin and complete their course in one year. This course does not in-clude any Lower School subjects. Speed and accuracy is our -aim. Early in the course we began to use the Victrola, This was for the pur- pose of developing rhythm in both typing and writing. With such a happy beginning not one of us be- came suspicious until we realized there was only one record-the Stein Song. We rebelled, pleaded, there were words, we even went so far as to form a chorus of our own fwhich was received with cutting coldnessl, but to no avail. The Stein Song won, so to speak, and we settled down meekly to the business of typing with or without music. As the year draws to a close we feel that we have accomplished some- thing valuable and have enjoyed studying and reading about the Com- mercial World.-S. H. Second year commercial lost one of its best athletes when Phyllis Stainer decided to leave school. Last Field Day Phyllis brought honour to the form as an excellent broad jumper, high jumper, and basket-ball throw- er. She was on the Junior Girls' Bas- ketball team, and was well known as an all round good athlete. We wonder: 1. Where Lester Brain got his black eye. What the other fellow looks like. 2. Why Marjories Burgess and Stewart come to school at all. 3, If Miss Paterson ever loses her temper. 4. Why Dot and Ede are so proud of being able to print their own names and why they have to be written all over the blackboard.

RAREBITS 59 V HUMO R D Jiw. M-. Editor-ANNIE BORISUK HAVE YOU HEARD THESE? The Police Song-Police play for me, that sweet melody. Wrigley's Song-Gumming through the rye. The Pawn Broker's Song-Velencia. But you gotta give it back. The Snake Song-A little hiss each morn- ing, a little hiss each night. The Orange Juice Song-Orange juice sor- ry you made me cry? The Wine Song-1You ferment fer me. The Farm Song-Big horse I love you. The Stock Broker's Song-High and low, low and high. And when you're on the Rocks-Cuddle on the boulders. Willy Hedley-ccalling his father on the phonel- Hello, who is speaking?', Mr. Hedley-frecognizing his son's voice- The smartest man in the world. Willy- Pardon me, I got the wrong num- ber. Miss Shaw gave instructions to the class to rewrite the following passage from memory: In came Caesar, on his head his helmet, on his back his armour, in his hand his shield, on his feet his sandals. Peter got his commas mixed a bit and wrote it like this: In came Caesar on his head, his helmet on his back, his armour in his hand, his shield on his feet, his sandals. Son-'Tm a. big gun at school now. Dad- Then why don't I hear better re- ports ? Jerome: May I have the last dance with you? Mary Burnet: lcoldlyl You've just had it. HOW ARGUMENTS START Brown was an interested visitor to Wilson's carpentry shop. By the way, Wilson, he said, picking up a plank, What are these holes in this wood? Those are knot holes, Wilson explained. Brown threw the piece of wood on the floor. They are holes, he insisted. Don't you think I know a hole when I see it? When most boys are about four years old they want to go to school because other kids do. After they've been there several years they find out it isn't any bed of roses and want to stop as soon as possible. After they have left school for a few years they find out they've misjudged school and want to go back again. Life's funny that way. is DECLINED The motorist was extricating himself from the wreckage of his car on a 'country road when a farmer came up to him and asked: 'Ave an accident, sir? f'No, thanks, snapped the victim. I've just had one! Nero fiddled while Rome burned. Contract bridge was yet to be invented. Gandhi has one thing at least to be thankful for. He Qwill never be pestered for tooth paste testimonials. :Ev ik If you are too lazy or too slow to enter the races, you can sit on the fence and gain fame as a critic. if :R Miss Shaw: Don't speak till the spirit moves you, Allen. McCormack: He hasn't had that much even if his nose is red. 15: sk A street car left the tracks and went on to the sidewalk. The chances are it was lone- some for former passengers. 'tApples, says a New York dietitian, should have a prominent place in any good reducing diet. Well, an apple certainly reduced Adam. :Zi :if Teacher- Why was Eve not afraid of mea- sles? Pupil- Because she'd Adam. :lf rl: rk Draper- These are specially strong shirts, sir. They simply laugh at the laundry. Customer- I know that kind: I had some which came back from the laundry with their sides split.
