4A I know that you 4A graduates of 1934 are full of hope and expectation. You have reached a milestone in your careers g you have completed four years of work. You have realized that subjects sometimes distasteful are necessary for your all round development. For most of you a high purpose has eliminated the irksomeness of work. As Ferdinand was willing to pile up logs one by one that he might now and then glimpse the gracious Miranda, so you have lost sight of the difficulty of the task in the vision of your aim. Your school courses have been planned by wise persons with the object of helping you to distinguish the noble from the ignoble g the enduring from the ephemeral things of life. And so having started you with your feet set in the right direction, your school leaves you, trusting that it is sending you forth into the world with enthusiasm, lofty ideals, and with gifts that are independent of material circumstances. But happily the voyage of life, though it may be beset with storms, has also blue skies, calm waters and smiling sunshine 5 so if I cannot promise you, let me at least join with Prospero in wishing you Hcalm seas, propitious gales and sail so expeditions as may bring you after a happy voyage to the Islands of the Blessed. V. K. IVIACBTILLAN. AMONG MY SOUVEN IRS Ring out, wild bells! CUnder the auspices of Mr. Scrimgeourj and all 4A Cby kind permission of Mr. Campbellj make a wild dash for their seats without C75 late slips. Oh yes, French first period-now just a minute, I'm sure I've heard that word before somewhere. Ah! no homework done! QIt is to laughj. We are somewhat doubtful French students, for only four can sit around Isabel H. whilst we are exactly, three seats from the perfect answer. Translate: Je frappe, la sentinelle ouvre, and was it'??? ?'??? who meekly said, I knock the sentinel over? 'l Tragic when you just can't Hcomprend francais. Miss Leech's favorite sayingis Class I ! ! VVe usher our French teacher out to the tune of the French national anthem, 'fLa Mayonnaisef' Who said Mr. Mclilachern was Scotch? He doesn't even believe in free translations! With sad eyes we watch half the room waltz out, then begin corrupting Cicero to the best of our inability. Yet the kindly, ease-loving E. C. McE. was the one who sprung Fleo, flere, itchi, scratchum on us. Our Latin, however, though of somewhat doubtful accuracy, is always done after fourin 'fSotto Voce Cnow stop me if you've heard this onej means Hin a drunken voice. Ah! great tragedies of life. The bell rings just as we finish translating G-r-r-r-r! No! a thousand nose!! That roar outside is not the guns of opening parliament. Mr. Campbell merely giving us a gentle 27

Cor forcefulj hint that we keep quiet. Trigonometry period is ushered in by this teacher who would not have us believe that he taught when Saskatchewan was still North-West Territories. Anyway, 'fThe audience hung upon his Words in breathless silence. After twenty minutes of uneasily understandable talk, we arrive at the brilliant conclusion that we are going to Hunk in Trig. in June. CSomeday we'll be saying, W'hat! can't do Trig? Son, I never received less than 95 marks in itl. Oh, well! By the way wasn't it the physics studes UD who sprung this one on us? You know, It amperes that you did your ohm work last night. Oh yeah! With pen poised for action, we listen while de colonel pours forth dates and names such as Schwarzburg-Sonder- shausen. In the U.S.A. they put people to death by electrocution, but Mr. Lingard tries to pep us up by elocution. It's simply adorable the way he rolls out Czecho-Slovakia. QWere we down- hearted? Noll. Gas masks! W'e're headin' for the chem. lab. Silhouetted somewhere in the general haze is your partner, and you feel strongly Calso smell that wayl that the city dump is much prefer- able to Mr. MacMurchy's sanctum sanctorum. A.ccording to the latter gentleman air is composed of oxygen and nitrogen, but after an hour in the lab. we have our own opinion. Did you know that 4A is master of all it surveys-excepting algebra, geometry, and about seven other subjects. Speaking of geometry, our opinion is that we are taught to prove what we al- ready know to be true. This is the period when the Royal Society for Asking Pointless Questions gets busy. One young gentleman of the R.S.A.P.Q. has a very bad habit of giving an answer to a question that someone has given about two seconds before. Someday we'll give Mr. Oliver a break and all get 100. Did he hear a sarcastic remark then? While we shiver over the ten or eleven deaths, murders, and what have you, in Hamlet, we can still gaze serenely at the highly- colored artistls conception of what Shakespeare's birthplace should look like on a poster. The continent and dearrr auld S-scotland C Don McOregorD ar-r-re also represented. Chaucer, as isn't, is choicely rendered by students who fully appreciate Cdramatic ironyj his sly humour and subtle satire. Anyway, Miss MacMillan certainly knows him. Get that silly grin off your face! Oh, yes, Algebra now. The other day our questions were in a poor state. Mr. Haward was in a state of indignation. And we are in an awful state. This is period when the rugby players don't do so well, and when you wish you could shove X2 and y2 down your nearest neighbor's throat. But ain't it a grand and glorious feeling when you make a decent mark? Despite their resigned looks, we do not believe our peda- gogues consider 4A to be the answer to a teacher's prayer. How- ever, we do so like to help them earn their salaries, although We do not believe the latter would have been cut if they had known 28
