' 44 Eve is the beauty, Of Lorraine's there are two, And Betty and Barbara, Whom we have seen coo. Joan, Grace, and Dawn Are our three glamour girls, Their hair is so beautiful, lt never has curls. Of boys there are more, All worthy of mention, But I have to stop now, Or we'1l have a detention. -Lorraine Wedge. 12D Now we the boys of I2D, D Have skills for sport in variety, Now Roger B. plays rugby, But Noble he plays hookey, Little Willy Clark plays rugby too. While Ainley he loves hockey. Big Hunter plays at basketball, While Black he plays the ponies. Yes, we the boys of 12D . Are strong and tall, and wise, And when Mr. Purvis looks at us We bring tears tof prideb into his eyes. -John Masefield. I3E We are the boys of l3E, We're just as happy as can be. Brundley, White, and little Flee- They're the tallest in l3E. Also in our happy abode I There's MacKenzie, Dunsford, and big Munro. l n And the boys that are always thinking of girls Are Fairweather, Heatherwick, and Sam with his curls, There's not much left as you can see, Just Kahoon and Masters, and little me. Oh! incidentally, we are a shocking group as you can see, . Because we specialize in electricity. -Don Miller I 3 G Happy, prosperous, strong, and free? Because we laff and sing, and jest, Nominate such shmoos as West, Have a Joe that lost a toe, Mitch is the guy with all the dough. Now you see why we scream When we look at Mr. Greene, And the fuses really go boom Back in Hoddie's little room- Well now, we've got to go and be Up on the carpet before Magee. -Jack Watson. A3 Here is the line-up of the Art 3 shmoes, CWe drive Mr. McAvoy nuts, you knows? Dawn loves A.G., Margot for Billie longs, Lukey is funny and Bruce is our brain, Don, Bill and Bruce D. are really insane. We copy Liz's homework 'cause it's always right, And Marty - try going to bed some night. Marilyn's from Malvern, perish the thought! There's Ellie and Slop who sing crazy songs, TECH THTLER Deenie and Joanne we sure like a lot, Mousey is cute and fresh as a daisy, In History Sam drives Mr. Fick crazy, Joe has an admirer who's not in our room, Don Smith's hair would make any girl swoon. George thinks the new look is really smart, Gwennie and Addie are never apart. And that's the end - there ain't no more, That's all there is, as I said before, There ain't no more, dopes, in ye olde Art 3. So goodbye - love to you all from all of we. -Benevenuto Cellini. I3P When you read this poem you will see, The bad and good points of I3P. At dawn 'Mitch' is met with clicking of heels, We have a master whose another Heals Beals. - Heil! Merv's got his eye on a blonde in B hall, And is quite a player with a rugby ball, Bentley makes a habit of missing Friday each week, Yet the marks he gets are really sleek. Wark is the tallest of us all, While little Yeoanan is so small, In gym he has no chance to star, He cannot reach the lowest bar. Ruddells the roundest of us crums, You'd swoon the way he plays the drums. Pelzls just the opposite in size, The garlic he eats brings tears to our eyes. Blair likes Mousie's shapely map, And Hawkins is a quiet chap. Davidson has the brawn and brains, While Perriman wears size 11's, he claims. And now to finish up the poem- There's a guy named Kerr you certainly know 'im, His life is pointed to a hockey career, Each time he sees Pat, he falls flat on his ear. -George Kerr. V 3 H Time- 9.00 a.m. Monday Morning, Battlefield-Danforth Tech. Historical or hysterical Event- The Charge of the Bobby-Pin Brigade. A chilling war cry splits the air, lt's Helen M. declaiming, Our teachers offer up a prayer, The battle we're proclaiming. Joan Kinsey pops her bubble gum, CShe's Wr1gley's best consumerb, That Joan R. is our pride and joy ls more than idle rumour. Our active gal is Muriel S. And you should see her skating! And quiet though our Karen seems, Her antics are laugh rating. Ray is our one long-suffering boy, Good sports like him are rare. So now you've heard from all of us. The class which gets in your hair. -Nina Fallis

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.

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.
