18 D.M. C. I. BREEZES Ronald Turnbull is a funny little scout, In algebra and geometry, lie everyone does flout; Fights and handkerchiefs are his specialties, Also the collection of other persons’ fees. Phyllis Paterson is a wild young lass; Mr. M. seems down on her in class; A flaming ambition within her does burn; How many seats can she occupy this term? Donald MacGregor is our only sheik; Just one look at him, and you will shriek, “ Oh! my hero ! you I seek, Since ever I saw that darling beak!” Fair Isabella of Room forty-seven, Full many a year ago was aged eleven; I know not yet quite what she is, Though some do like to call her “Dizz.” Beautiful and good is she, But not quite what you think she be! ROOM 49 ' J’HE celebrated Forty-Niners are noted for: The Brain Representative, Mr. C. G. Cooke; Track Team Representatives, Florence Eden, and Martin Bell; Football Representatives, Barney Stanick, and Alex. Shaddy; Rugby Representative, Barney Stanick. Class officers are: President, Herbert Taylor; Secretary-Treasurer, Ernest Andrews: Sports Captains, Shirley Clapman and Alex Stuart; Librarian, Grace Hoskins. Mr. Cooke: “Robinson, what are you late for, today?” Robinson: “For class, I guess.” ROOM 50 J WISH to take this opportunity to thank you for your support in the past Junior Council elections. I consider it a great honour to be appointed to a position on the Council, and since it was through your efforts that I was elected, I shall try to do my best, both in sport and in social activities. Yours sincerely, BOB ELLIOTT. The Room of Many Nations I think I can safely say that Room 50 has more nationalities repre¬ sented in it than any other room in the school. Just to prove my state¬ ment I shall enumerate them. It has one or more English representa¬ tives, Scotch, Irish, Canadian, Icelandic, Polish, Jewish, Chinese, Negro, and French. That’s quite a list, isn’t it? —Israel Capian.

D. M. C. I. BREEZES 17 are: President, Isabelle Bayley; Vice-President, Raymond Mason; Secretary, Elizabeth Ballantyne. Our three shining lights in sports are: Lillian Decter, girls’ sports captain; Jack Easterbrook, boys’ sports captain; George Timlick, our basketball enthusiast, who somehow manages to get sick at one o’clock and go home after playing a strenuous game. Speaking of basketball, our girls defeated Room 61, 28-4. -—Helen Johnson, “Breezes” Rep. Room 19 wants to know: If Marjory is White or black? Does Harry Robbins chirp? What can Russell Cook? If Roberta is a Taylor? Is Virginia Peter, son or daughter? Does Vera Lamb gambol? Can Ruth Reade? Bob Kinread, can’t he? Has Mervyn Sprung yet? —Helen Johnson. ROOM 21—Officials President, Kathleen Todd; Vice-President, Donavon Atkinson; Secretary, Eleanor Henrickson; Sports Captain, Mary Mulligan; “Breezes” Representative and Librarian, Millicent Lennerton. ROOM 47 THIS class, as yet, has held no parties this term—much to the dissatis¬ faction of some of themembers—so our social notes are missing. Room 47 can boast of some very talented pupils, and we intend to do our best to make this paper a success. The contributions of the class to the various departments of this number form our first instalment. Class officers: President, Patricia Paget; Vice-President, Ronald Turnbull; Secretary, Beth Carpenter; Sports Captains, Martha Setter, and Donald MacGregor. Brilliant Lights of Room 47 Have you ever noticed Alec’s marcel? Much French hair-dressing has done it well; Young ladies cast their eyes in that direction, But ne’er will their curls attain that perfection. Full many a roar lias our Martha provoked From her fellow-dumbells of Room 47; Full many a thought has our fond teacher evoked, At this rate we won’t all go to heaven.

D. M. C. I. BREEZES 19 ROOM 51 “QOOD evening, folks.” This is Station R51 on the air. We are broadcasting from away up on the top decks of the Daniel McIntyre Collegiate Institute of Learning. The first item on our programme will be a short talk by Professor Fred Lang. He will reveal for you the delicate intricacies of his latest novel, ‘‘How to Conquer French or Latin in One Lesson.” Prof. Lang has made an intensive study of these subjects, hence he is adequately prepared to help all those in difficulty. At last Prof. Lang has finished so we are at liberty to present the Room 51 Midgets, in their popular song hit, “Sing us a Baby Song.” The Midgets, who consist of Bob Williamson, Gord. Cane, Marcus Tess- ler, Ted Crayston, and Charley Johnstone, have attained great fame in the musical world, and it was with considerable difficulty that we were able to have them with us tonight. Doubtless, after you have endured their selection, you will immediately realize the unlimited capacity for singing which they do not possess. We had intended having that learned member of our class, Edward Rogerson, give a speech on “The Only Way to Pass Without Doing Homework.” Like Prof. Lang, Mr. Rogerson has devoted many val¬ uable years to the perusal of this subject and is now a recognized authority. Unfortunately, Edward has a sore foot this evening, thus his brain will not function in such an admirable manner as is customary under ideal circumstances. In view of the fact that our school has suddenly decided to produce a rugby team, we are fortunate in having our own Red Grange, namely, Ted Crayston. We feel sure that Ted will be able to clear up any dubiousness regarding the fine art of forward passing, which may be entertained by any of his fellow rugbyists. Ted would elucidate on that subject now were it not that he is entirely exhausted by his recent vocal contribution. Considering that all the other participants in our concert have become stage struck to an un-recoverable extent, we are forced to sign off. Tweet. Tweet. —C. A. G. Room 51—“The Veterans” Former Room 50 J.E. has shifted its battle ground to Room 51 S.E —at least those seasoned warriors who survived the death-struggle of the century in June, 1927. Many fell, maybe to rise again, while the remainder, strengthened by several worthy additions from elsewhere, including a delegation of the “fairer” sex, pressed back into the fray with renewed vigor. These dauntless warriors are in possession of the front-line trenches (behind a breastwork of desks), hurling their threats (rubbers, running shoes, or “what have you”) with great accuracy and enthusiasm. They organized into a hard-boiled, ready- for-anything group of “Veterans.” The officers elected, after much discussion, blows, insults, etc., are as follows: President, Fred Lang; Vice-President, Lloyd Bruce; Secretary, Leonard Hicks; Treasurer, Robert Williamson; “Breezes” Representative, Roy Mason; Sports Captain, Ted Crayston. This battalion is ready to engage in any war, civil, domestic, or international, on a week’s notice, and on moderate terms—cash.
