THE 3B WI-IEEZE PERSONAL NOTES 0 cents. They were getting a little bit too personal so we left them out. SOCIAL AND OTHERWISE We suppose you'd like to hear about our form party?-No! Well anyway here goes. Since we are swamped with offers of houses to hold our annual stampede in, we decided to hold it in the aud so as not to offend anybody, and graciously consented to let the population of 3C tag along. We had planned to dance but a large number of the youngsters seemed to think that the wall needed holding up very badly. But you really should have seen Dave McGregor, he certainly shone forth, what with all the girls falling for him, Jean MacCrae actually fell on her knees before him Cshe tripped over his feetj. We were going to have a moonlight waltz but Dave's blushes illuminated the aud so brightly for the rest of the' evening that it was impossible. Oh, yes! We had a beauty contest, the contestants were: Lindsay Treen, Jack Ring, Lindsay Holt and Bill Nickerson. The contest was to see who had the most delicately shaped lower limbs, all of the blushing contestants were lined upon the stage and were required to elevate their trouser legs to the level of their knees and oh my deahs! you guess who won. We stayed so late that when we left, the last show at the Capitol had been finished five minutes. Let us look into the great beyond- Moose Jaw, Medicine Hat, Calgary, and all points West-No Elmer not that kind, we are to be transported into the year 1959. Well, here we are, wonder what that rosy glow is down near the end of the street, might as well investigate. You'll never guess what it is. It's a place where Dave MacGregor is charging two dollars a throw to see his, by now world famous blush, Deep Crimsons and Delightful Rosy Tints, Rival of the Sunset, If you ain't Seen This You ain't Seen Nothin' reads a sign. Well since we are stone broke it isn't much use staying around here, let's visit the cemetery. Why look, here are the graves of Bea Broome and Pat Cruickshank, wait a minute while Elmer reads the epitaphs. It says on Bea's that she burst a blood vessel when a travelling salesman tried to sell her some cream to remove Wrinkles. Pats reads thusly: Here lie the bones Of a boy named Pat, He thought that mushrooms Tasted flat. Enough of these sad thoughts Elmer, let us away to the dear old Collegiate. W'hat's this we see? Why itis Alice Waffle and Burton Godkin still trying to get those Algebra questions. But alas even here we cannot rid ourselves of our gloomy thoughts for on seeing the detention room and that well polished office bench, 83

While in the orchestra we have Vic Byam, Jack Newby, Reg Harper and Keith Stillwell. Try to beat that. Not bad, he admitted, B-ut I gotta go now. I never could get my timing down to a fine art like Margaret or Margaret Robertson. Well so long. So long,', we responded. Marion Henry: How did Lloyd Grant get that bump on his head? Elspeth Milligan: HA thought struck him. Dora Maclin: 'fWhy do they call it a funny bone? Crrayce McGill: Because itls at the end of the humerus.

newer and sadder ones crowd out the old. Come Elmer, do not tarry. From here our faltering footsteps strangely enough guide us to the hospital where we meet Dr. Steckly who is hurrying around leaving a trail of slightly used appendices and tonsils. It is too much for our addeled brains, so back we hop onto our magic carpet and return thankfully to good old 1934. Hya Babes May we take this opportunity of advertising for a compass for Mr. Oliver.
