42 I 1 Q Roses are red, Violets are blueg So is Miss Walker When we go through, For though Bernard and Colby To leave school did dare, We still number with us Noisy Jack Gair. -Ron Chapelle. I1R. In our class there is Sharpe, He just sleeps while the teachers harp. There's Hughson and Mueller they can swim And they're not bad in the gymg We've got Waters and Somers and our Runcie- Boy O' Boy can they ever ski. Jones, McTurner, Tuck, and Lee, They're the boys that we never seeg And Howard, the boy with the curls, He uses them to lure the girls. Speaking of girls, we have none But we've got Locke, can he ever run? Shepherd's the boy that needs oil on his voice And Lumsden is just a pilot by choice. I wrote this poem just little me, And if you're wondering the name's Smitty. -Den Smith. M1A There is a boy in MIA Who for his work would like to get pay. I-lis two front teeth go up and down And make a funny clicking sound. For doing his homework, that lid like to see: This boy's name is Glenn B. There's another boy in our class And all the teachers he does sassg He is a wolf with the girls, Anything, that is, that has curls. This is true, you would see, If you're in the class with Gordon C. -Howard Fitz Gerald. MID We're the boys of M1D, We're not as dumb as one can beg We wander down the corridors, Banging on every other door. We kick up a rumpus in the halls, Or else we write all over the walls. The remarks we receive while in our glee, Are the faults of MIC. We're never in hot water with Mr. Mageeg Detentions aren't our specialty, And we're as happy as can be, Because we're the boys of MID. -Al Tennyson. THE GIRLS OF V1B We are the girls of VlB We've a good reputation ask Mr. Magee We have a joker named Betty B. She's mad about a guy in M2D Muriel's dream is in M2C When he speaks to her Holy Gee With Eva. H. we have a bet That she hasn't found her dream boy yet A cackle, like Joan's is very rare TECH THTLER She and Savage make a peach of a pair A certain Bruce M. sends Barbara Keightley And for him she falls completely Margaret L. our genius, yearns For a certain guy whose name is Fern Doreen Long has tiny feet She's short and shapely, cute and sweet Carol M. goes around with Jerry She claims he'll yet commit Hari-Kari Gwen, as you already know Keeps an eye on her new beau Phyllis also has a new bow Hers is for a violin though Helen S. is our tumbling fiend Of going with Johnny she's always dreamed Beverly S. is our balmying gal A boy named Tank is her steady pal J aqueline S. is wild about cherries She has two dimples deep as these berries Lillian's hair a lot of care takes She reminds the girls of Veronica Lake Pat. J. is the classroom jester All the teachers she tries to pester Margaret S. is a quiet gal For some nice boy she'd make a nice pal And so we come to our last little mate Alma Van Luven whose voice is sedate She, of course is our hookeying gal But just the same she's quite a pal This is the end of little rhyme From this day forth we'll be in our prime. -Roberta Burns 12AB Gilliver gives the girls the eye, When they look back he nearly dies. Scotty gets in the teachers' hair, When they come to look for him he just isn't there. Simpson cracks a joke or two, But to tell them here wou.ld never do. Foster plays with his movie projector, He's always getting in Dutch with Hectci. Strong is our form's great athlete, He's really quick and smart on his feet. Pound is a joker, phrase well said, He walks as if his feet were lead. Pritchard is always smootching smokes, Upon which he nearly chokes. Dinely looks like a dollar bill, From standing round the lunchroom till. Littlemore tosses every cent, To make some money is his intent. When McKee broke his foot, his troubles started, That's when he and his bank roll parted. Quinton while skiing broke his leg, Now' he walks on a wooden peg. Smitty, the silent type is he, But dangerous C!!J as the girls will see. Wall is the brains of our little class, He rents his notebook - a buck a pass. Claphaiqrrias ,been absent a month with a Nc i ,i But we think his trouble's a girl called Lijl. Shegishi at Hogarth, is all fighting mad, From page 4 to 38 with diagrams - the carl! Wotton the farmer, is really all rect, As long as he wipes the mud from his feet Richards is quiet, an intelligent lad, And as a criminal wouldn't do bad. Brangman an immigrant from Bermuda does hail,

TECH TFITLER To wash the machine shop with a broom and a pailg Quance works hard all week for his pay, Then loses it to Walker all in one day. From this little poem you can plainly surmise, Our class is made up of a bunch of hep guys. -Ron Littlemore.

I 2 M N Changing classes Abernethy is slow, But on a basketball court just watch him go. Stu Anderson has hair of close crop, We sometimes wonder if there's brains under that top. Donnie Cameron is quite a Boy, He's brave and bold and Oh! so coy. Normie Chessel's the cream of the crop, But when writing exams he is always a flop. Gerald Donn is really a card, He finds school work so very hard. In spite of the dirt George Faulkner's our lad- We wonder if he has ever read that Lifebuoy Ad. Wilson in school is always humming, While on the street. cigarettes he is burning. Jack French is a student of knowledge and renown, When it comes to composition he can't tell a noun. When Keenan's away from school it's not news, With notes from home he is always excused. Leslie Lang uses a smelly hair lotion, He has his doubts about early promotion. Ron Mclntosh brings onion sandwiches to eat, Which makes his breath smell nice and sweet. Donald Petican is Oh! such a flash, But getting to school he is always last. Kenny Shepherd is our serious hick, At examination time he worries himself sick. Ken Fletcher walks like a mope, 43 But when it comes to girls he's no dope. With girls Albert Solman is quite a whizz, And schoolwork to him is one big quiz. In the twine Turk Tordoff is really a pro, And with the girls, he is the popular shmoe. You would hardly know Fred White is alive, He is known to us as Mister Five By Five. John Walden thinks he knows a lot, When it comes to prove it he's not so hot. William Shakespeare.

There's Marilyn, who is our pianist, And Ann W. a bit of a genius, To Jane B. we just say food, Mona's never in a moodg Rose, you know is quite a girl, And Joyce, whose hair I'd hate to curl, Ah, O Joy, we come to Al, Whom we all think is quite a palg Evelyn's here, strike up the band, Doreen is rare in any land, For Scotty, we say, It canna be done, And John, you know, is loads of fung We come at last to good old Doris, Who would do anything for us, To think of more, I'm not able, To put it briefly - here signs off Mable. -Mable Bullock.
