Wilkie and jean MacKenzie, who are extremely well versed in such matters, having put up with each other since last September. Another bright young lad in our form is Gordon Mason. Gordon has one bad failing and I would like to warn you about it in case he is in the same room as you are next year. If Gordon is sitting next a window, tie your ink bottle to your desk or it will iindits way outside. If you have a good ruler and Gordon has a jack-knife, don't let the ruler get out of sight or it will be returned to you ready to be used for tooth picks. Outside of these little failings Gordon makes a first class school mate. Speaking of Gordon Mason reminds me that we have not yet given you the names of our basket ball players. These modest young heroes have been threatening us with every- thing they could think of in order to keep their names out of this article but we'll take our chances and tell you who they were. Under the capable coaching of Mr. Greenough, the line up was: Capt. Gordon Mason, Players: Brock Henry, Ivan Sneath, Gordon Robertson, jack Wlilkie, jack Donaldson and Harry Matthews. Even if they didn't clean up the series these boys gave a good account of themselves and we are satislied with them. This year 3F put on a very good play entitled mln Spring, a Young Man's Fancy. It concerned a group of girls visiting Paris, who meet a young man of their ac- quaintance there when they are beginning to think they do not know anyone in the city. The scene was a hotel in Paris. The players were: jean, played by Eleanor Young, Jacqueline, by Fredina Brown, julia, by Ilene Grantg Io, by VVinnie Fair, janet, by Vera Leigh, Mrs. jack Hilliard, the chaperone, by Gene Pounder, and Marie, the maid, by Grace Helm. The part of the young man was ably taken by Ivan Sneath. The play was presented March 17th and a good crowd was present. The play was directed by Marion Wlestgate. Wle do not see very much of Bill England or Les. Henry as they do not take any classes in the room but we were very glad to have them among our numbers. Earl Barr and Gordon Mason get along well together. Gordon is always playing tricks on Earl, such as hiding his overshoes, marking up his books and things of that nature but Earl is good natured and Gordon has never met with an accident. Norm Smith has been Biology Lab. assistant this year. The twins, Marion and Grace Helm create a diversion occasionally when some teacher is trying to tell one from the other. Jeanne jackson had quite a time this winter scrapping with Gordon Mason over who was going to win the hockey games. Refer to Ye Flame as Your Purchasing Directory 49

rw.: - i. ,. ,..,.N-., , SF 'THE ANNUAL ROUNDUP Vlfith the publication of this annual, 3F will be busy winding up a very successful year. Although we did not win any great distinctions in dramatics or sports this year, we are very proud of our form SF. 4 Gordon Robertson, our star student, represented us in a debate held by the Current History Club last month and showed the rest of the school what 3F can produce. There was a real good bunch in the form. this year, and, outside of a few unavoidable squabbles with our natural enemies, the teachers, we passed the year in peace and quietness. Gur president was VVinnie Fair, and a real good president she proved to be. She had the interest of the form at heart and worked hard at her duties. She was ably assisted by Harry Matthews as vice-president. VVe shall now give you some of the inside stuff as seen by an eye witness. 3F started out the year with a bang by holding a theatre party at the Metropolitan. And what a party. On leaving the theatre, we went to Gordon Cook's house, where we enjoyed dancing and Heats. Mr. and Mrs. Greenough are a pair of real sports, entering into the fun with the same spiiit as the rest of us, everyone had one grand time. The plans for another spree have not been completed as yet. However, if it is as big a success as our previous gathering, you will be well informed before casting your eyes upon this epistle. In passing we should tell you of the kind offer of two of our students to help you out with advice on your love af- fairs. The two students who made this kind offer are jack 48

nf-7 'Qn 0 3G Were not so good at verses, Nor are we good at rhymes, But, when it comes to f'Annualy' time Vile can find some snappy lines. Of course, it is understood that we of SG, being of very studious nature imniediately settled ourselves in the com- fortable desks our minds intent on business Csleepl. This continued for some tinie, we were told, Finally, Mr. XYil- liams found it necessary to very rudely interrupt our busi- ness to inform. us that we must elect our room officers. iVe obeyed our leader in a daze, voting ,lean Gillis, Presidentg Carl Cullum, Vice-President and Barton Blythe, Secretary. Midst all the signs of oncoming winter we found it most difficult to return to our business If you doubt our word on this matter ask all our worthy teachers. VVe are sure they will inform you of our brightness and alertness. VVhen the suggestion of a Form Party reached our ears we were overjoyed at its line prospects and immediately proceeded in our arrangements which resulted in the best Form Party that was ever attended.
