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. Mr. Chapman: What is the word for 'this' in that sentence? Ferne: HicI Mr. Chapman: Right DR. IRWIN RCBB DENTIST 408 BRGDER BLDG. Phone 23578 Regina, Sask. R. J.

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 3G GLEANIN GS 3G claims to be the only form in Central to have an indoor curling rink. We have curling down to the finest art, so to speak. Mr. Cooper put up the suggestion when he found some of the smaller boys playing marbles in the room. We won't mention any names. The game attracts a large crowd- four or five spectators, as it is known that Mr. Cooper throws a wicked curve. However, though he has lost some of his youthful vigour, he keeps up with the younger elements of the class. The players use wooden discs, 2 in. in diameter and 11 in. thick, instead of rocks. - The Third Year track honors were taken into camp by 3G, the box of chocolates was also well received, even though it was six months late. Many of the males of the form have lamented the regrettable loss of one of 3G's beautiful girls, Eleanor Pike. She left for Calgary on April 9th where she will always remain our unforget- abilia. In the picturesque phraseology of one heart broken swain, The boys are trying to drown a sorrow that has learned to swim. Is your heel fixed and your soul alright? That was what Mr. Hunt said when Marge returned from a trip to the janitor to Hx her broken heel. She had insisted on Elsie coming along as chaperone. Remember the day a certain bru- nette's lipstick melted on the radiator? Seen in Passing- N on-stop Rouse standing in front of the goal mouth. How did Sandy Berwick get that black eye? The boys were afraid of Sandy when Zylpha got the measles. Cupid works overtime in 3G, and so does the pencil sharpener-our form boasts six fingerwaved swains. What happened when Marg bran- dished 2 legs off the Chem Lab stool? Why does Frank tot his comb out before he looks toward certain windows. The MEYER'S PERMANENT WAVE SHOP Specializing in De Graf Pcrmancnls Croquignolc Marcel Special Rates for Students Phone 6577 Formerly Larson's 213 W estm an Chambers Beauty Parlor Rose St. Why does anyone look at certain windows anyhow? Mr. Robertson asked Ruth Green if she was a prohibitionist when she skipped a certain sentence in French translation. It looked rather queer when Noreen couldn't push open the window during the French class, yet all Grant had to do was give it a gentle tap. We've often seen a certain 3G girl in the company of a 4C city slicker. What's wrong with the 3G boys, Mae? Mr. Williams told us after the exams that avis meant bird in Latin, and by the way Avis flies in for our Literature classes we think he is right. We learned a lot more about women after we studied LaBelle Dame Sans Merci. However, Harold White says that was his opinion before. We don't need to tell you who 3G's Belle Dame is. The 3G girls are trying to get the boys to pay for a curtain for their cloak room-but- Thwarted ambition-to find a vacant front seat in a literature period. What would happen if there were no classes after four. What would Elsie do with her time? Seen from the boards-Mae Mac- Master finding the ice in fine style during a girl's hockey game. Was the ice soft, Mae? How to keep from growing old-just call Evelyn, Eve.
