THEPTR ROQUET vol. 100575 JUNE, 1936 No. 100 1A ANALYSIS Come to 1A-The House of Horrors, signed-our teacher. Abode of the strange Griffin of Alice in Wonderland fame. Flash-1A speed skaters star in the Leader-Post Skating Competitions. They are-Don and Doug. Higgins, George Stewart, Margaret Baker, and Marjorie Smith. Q This space was reserved for a picture of Jack Slater, but he couldn't get his hair combed, so what's the use of a picture when you can't see a fellow's face.

The political inclination of 1A is hoodolism, at least that is what Mr. Griffin says. Lawrence Booth still thinks port- age is what he eats for breakfast. In Flock's estimation, Collegiate Capers was an equine success, whatever that is. Editor's Note-The Dictionary solves this problem-for all those who are bewildered and with profound apologies for such unpre- cedented first formism, we define equine as horsey. To be sure she's genuine when you go out with Elizabeth- Look for the Speer in the green coat. Contrast-The Higgins Twins. Our dance orchestra-The Stevadors. Wanted-Studitious First Year Stu- dent with an average over 8595 to do homework-only girls need apply- address all correspondence to Lyman Wilson. Jim Lamont-That liniment makes my arm smart. Mr. Myatt-Why not rub some on your head? 1A now makes a confession-in a low voice of course-A typical IA student looks like a sap, is a sap and sure behaves like one. 1B BREEZES Pome 1B's the brightest first year form In French Coft we've been toldj But 'rithmetic's an eternal storm Within our brilliant fold Take the advice of a mutineer Who loves arithmetic Turn up your toes and pass it by Or give it a hefty kick. But turning to the form again It's a punitive little spot With chattering here and chattering there Though many high marks are sought . 1B's Form Party was held February 21st Cleap yearl. The students attended the Grand Theatre, later assembling at the home of Jim Branham, our form president. Dancing, games, and especially eats were enjoyed. F ight?-Two of the 1B pupils were engaged in a furious argument as they stood pushing the window slide back and forth. If this window is left open, she declared, I shall certainly catch cold and probably die. If the windows are shut I am sure I will sufTocate , he shouted. The teacher was at a loss till one bright student said,- First open the window, that will kill one, then shut it, that will suifocate 60

Q THE PERROQUET the other, and then we may have peace. If you didn't like that, sit back in your chair and moan through this. Teacher- When I was a child my desire was to be a pirate. From the back seat- You were lucky, it isn't everybody who can fulfil their ambitions. Now swallow this fact- Two pints make one quart, two quarts make one reel. And absorb this- Teacher-How many students are here this morning? Chorus-Thirty. Teacher - And how many dumb- bells? Chorus-Thirty-one. A certain 1B student is reported to have gone up in smoke the other day- the matches Cto be used as tooth picksj which he had in his pocket became ignited on account of the heat of the radiator and-wahoo-! 1C CONOTATIONS The 1C Form Party was a high class affair. After spending 2 hours in the Met Theatre the class went to the home of one of the kids where an evening's entertainment was enjoyed. Featured on the Shamateur programme were: .lo Cunningham, Rita Buggie, Issie Essers, and the Four City Slickers. 1C won quite a name for itself last winter by its reproduction in the Perroquet of a speech by its form teacher, Miss Murray, in which the causes of war were outlined. 1C re- sented the fact that Miss Murray spoke of wars in Europe when she speaks so fluently on causes of wars in 1C. 1C recalls also peace treaties dictated on the field of battle. At this point the 1C sword lies broken and their pens as well, we hope. 1D DATA 1D's ambling artist, Gardner Wil- liams, displayed the ability and future of various form members, but due to lack of space they cannot be repro- duced here. Harry Cully seems to be the lucky man of our form. Just before the Christmas exams he got the mumps, and just before the Easter exams he was put in quarantine for measles, but the teachers weren't to be fooled, so Harry wrote his exams isolated in the sew- ing lab. Seen in Passing- Last Minute Turner walking into the room with three and a half seconds to spare. Henry Dummer combing down his slick black pompadour. Clifford Tanouye practising the art of pugilism. Frances Ordway starring on the track team. Stubbie Mason attempting to put a new joke in one of his witticisms. The good ole frying pan-yea bo' we're first year basketball champions. News Note Cby mailJ-April1st.- Today Connie West thought he would fool Mr. MacKenzie but instead he got thirty lines of the Lady of the Lake 1F FUN This frolicsome form, inspired by a study room oration, wrote: Mr. Campbell rest, thy warfare o'er, Forget those slips that know no ending, Dream of detention daze no more, Days of waiting after four. to memorize. In our school's enchanted room Hands unseen, homework are writing, Students with their problems fighting While Shorty rests amid the gloom. 61
