THE PERROQUET We had a form party.-After as much sleighing as we could possibly get for our money, we returned to the home of Douglas Jolly, where we danc- ed Ct-hat's what it is usually calledj. Food was consumed, and in general we had a good time. We wonder where Allan Crossley was during the party, but he turned up for the eats. Mr. Oliver, our form teacher, was absent for about four weeks just after the New Year, much to the relief of those who were in his bad graces, and regretted by those who appreciated him-the staff hockey team. Famous Quotations- Billy Atkinson-H Mr. Perkins has the temper and I've got the red hair. Don Dawson-'fI'm sure sorry that Spring is here. Muriel was such a swell skater. Bill Carswell- I'll fall down in French if you don't quit bothering me. CI'Ie's lucky, only 12 more marks to fallj. Allan Crossley- Scra1n, girls, if Marion should come up to see me this recess Cshe usually doesj you would cramp my style. Tom French-3B's Ladies Man- Do you think my hair is parted straight, girls? Jean Erskine- Go away, I'm in a trance and won't come out of it till after next period-we have history. 3C CHATTER 3C was very much elated the other day returning from an agriculture class to find the precious picture of General Wolfe, supporting a gaudy pair of men's yellow and green wool socks much the worse for wear. At first they were thought to belong to a 3C sheik or to Mr. Haward who might have stepped into a puddle on the way to school and hung them there to airg but to our amazement they were found to be a pair belonging to a girl. How about it Olive? The old saying: When the cat is away the mice will play, is not always true. The other day when Mr. Haward was sick the room during Algebra period was so quiet that many students fell asleep. There was one thing lacking during those Algebra periods and it was the fero- cious yells which make our epiglottis fluctuate. However, when Miss Creighton teaches us her soft melo- dious voice floats gently through the air soothing our strained tympanic membranes. Side Slants Oh, he's tall, dark, and handsome, and has the grandest figure. How do we know? Well, he was in Collegiate Capers, in the Easter Ballet. It's Tom. Speaking about the concert we didn't know Cliff could sing, and didn't he look smart in his sailor outfit? All the nice girls love a sailor. 3C have pledged themselves to three hours of Literature homework a week, so perhaps you won't be seeing us till June 30. But we'll see! Vas You Dere, Charlie? - Miss MacMillan: You have heard of Naples, the famous Italian port, haven't you? D6 Liddon: No, how much a bottle is it. Mr. Haward: And so we find that fc turns out to be zero. Mary H.: All that work fo r nothing. E. Stevenson: Those jokes you gave me were simply awful. H M. Roantree: 'fOh, I don't know. I put them in the furnace and it just roared.

THE PERROQUET A 3A ADMISSIONS There is a form at the top of the stairs, That causes the teachers all their grey hairs. In fact, it's the Profies who pay, In the form that is called Good Old 3A. llLl,r,-v- 3A Form Party-The Form finally got into a huddle and planned a skating party with an adjournment to the home of Edith Scott. Everybody enjoyed themselves, except Hank Huff 5 he thought the girls had measles. Later the entertainment committee mastered by Little Lord Fauntleroy Maclean, retired leaving the entertain- ment to the person with the loudest voice. As a girl was the victor the revellers indulged in some hilariously thrilling kindergarten games. Mean- while, Denton and Jean rested on the basement step till the villain Hall appeared. Sweaters-About six months ago the girls got their pretty heads together and decided they wanted form sweaters. After much hair pulling they unani- mously agreed that black Cughj was the only color that would harmonize with their peaches-and-cream Csourj complexions. They approached the fellows whom they figured they had under their thumbs-CPhil Perry and Willie Hallj and railroaded the boys into mourning, vetoing the tasteful blue and white checked pattern pro- posed by Denny Badenoch. There followed a jumble which somehow reminds us of J. Caesar's literary efforts. However, when peace and serenity reigned again, Cthese are not the girls' namesj the suits were ordered and bought. Scott asked for a size 42. Now he's looking for a couple of tent poles. Our Pet-One fine day during a most uninteresting French lesson, a few of the boys seemed occupied with some- thing down below. Miss Leech disap- proved of the commotion and remarked, What are you doing down there? Is it a dog? A moment of silence and then a burst of laughter and the dog emerged in the person of Phil Lexier. I wonder if she has apologized yet? In spite of all this The teachers are good, It isn't their fault If they're not understood. 3B BUNK 3B- That room that knows no History and has no History. Quota- tion from a speech by the reporter after she had slaved for days and could only show this feeble result for her labors Cpoor girl, she meant wellj. KELLY'S DRUG STORE 2016 ELEVENTI-I AVE.

5 THE PERROQUET 3D DAZE What a form! We have everything, sports ability, wisecracks, and sales- manship. Due to restrictions by the editors, our great athletic accomplish- ments must go unheralded, but we modestly admit that we hold the Third Year Basketball Championship. One Thursday afternoon, persons passing 3D during the last period stood amazed. Gurgles and chortles in great profusion flowed through the keyhole in a solution of shrieks and bubbles. It was merely Mac's Young Innocents reaping the benefits of good salesman- ship for concert tickets. I guess you have heard that Mr. Mac- Murchy has said that the next imbecile who puts water in HQSO4 will be hit so hard on the head he will have to take his shoes off to take off his tie. Mr. Chapman: Define the word 'ago' in that sentence. Ron Hardy: I tank ago home now. 3F FACTS A Toast to 3F- We may not be angels, Cwe certainly aren'tJ but we do our best. We work and play through the five hour day Qnever mind the restj. We brighten the teachers with hope when they're here, we're merry and serious and eager to cheer. We've taken our fun where we've found it Cand we find it 'most everywherej. We seldom are kept for detention, or get in the teacher's hair. So I think we deserve recognition Cdon't ask what the faculty thinkj. So lift up your cups to the merriest form, and a toast to 3F let us drink. In other words: Here's tae oorselves, wha's like us! The co-stars for this year's act are: Ronald Hall, President. Lois Bouey, Vice President. Assisted by an able cast-the rest of 3F. Managed and directed by Mr. Greenough and seven other members of the staff. B C Y S ' S H O P BERT ORR Proprietor 2026 TWELFTI-I AVE. REGINA, SASK. The story is merely the whys and wherefores of the doings of the 3F students, outstanding among which are: The trips to the Lab. With all this war talk and these practices in case of air raids, we would be grateful if some one would donate a few gas masks for us to practice with, we certainly could use 'em in the lab. Flash I I Iaccompanied by thunder- enter Mr. Cooper. We thought he was very pleased with us, but the way he said, I would that my tongue could utter the thoughts that arise in me, t'other day, we wonder ? ? ? Composition-although 3F'ers are splendid orators, even the best of us require a little time to prepare our speeches. When Mr. Williams informed us we could either propose a toast or make an impromptu speech-well- we'll leave it to you to figure out the results. History-the test this term was expected during that cold spell we had. But did half the class escape by being absent? Oh, no, Mr. Doxsee postponed the test to catch the tender as well as the tough ones. And did he? But we're not so bad in history, no sirree. Dates are our specialty. Our kind may not be in text books but they sure make history. Miss Leach: Ou etiez-vous la derniere classe de francais? Stude CguiltilyJ: Non, non.
