D. M. C. I. BREEZES 37 ROOM RUMORS ROOM 6 Room 6 had a fast and furious debate during the month of March. There were six debaters: Queenie Hunter, Phyllis Clancy, Eileen Boles, Phyllis Duxbury, Margaret Magnusson, and Evelyn Gregg. The subject of the debate was: “Resolved that the world is growing better.” After each side had presented its argument, the class, acting as “honorable judges,” awarded the decision to the affirmative. However, the result was very close, the votes being 14 to 13. —M.M. ROOM 7 Room 7 wishes to thank Miss Douglas for the very enjoyable after¬ noon we spent at her home on Wednesday, December 18th, 1927. There were about twenty-five girls present. When all had arrived, each one of the girls had to give some form of entertainment. Among these was Dorothy Paulin’s dancing of the “Californian Shuffle.” Some of the others danced also, to the accom¬ paniment played by Clara Drew. At five-thirty refreshments were served. Then the girls danced again, and soon we all left for home. On leaving everyone expressed thanks for the very enjoyable time they had spent that afternoon. —W.W.

38 D.M. C. I. BREEZES ROOM 10 Room 10 has in its sanctuary several well-known and popular young men and women. Who, indeed, would not agree with us in this matter, when they recall such personalities as Bob Swan, the “Populor Presi¬ dent,” and Geoffrey Wilson, our “Capable Secretary.” We regret the loss of the fellowship of such students as Alex Ger¬ ard, Maynard Edwards (the late Breezes’ representative), Isabel Dog- gett and Marion Evans, who have entered the business world, also Roddie dagger and Victor Lowe. During the past year the room has entered into all the school activi¬ ties, such as sports, debates, music and scholarship. Frank McIntosh lead his worthy team through many well-fought games in both basketball and baseball. Harold Simpson and Bob Swan composed the debating team. Although they were defeated, they gave the winners, Room 21, a good argument. In music we are represented by Berkeley Newman and Bob Swan in the Senior Glee Club, and ' by Marjorie Kelly, Olive Moffitt, Dorothy Seott and May Webster in the Junior Glee Club. It should be mentioned also that we were represented in the Field Day sports by May Webster, Alec Curr, Maynard Edwards, Harold Dav¬ idson, Jim McAndrew, Frank McIntosh and Thompson McWilliams, who certainly upheld our honor. In scholarship, too, we have our “famous.” Indeed, what teacher would not agree with us when he remembers such students as Wilmot Shepherd, our shark in mathematics; and Lome Coates, who stars in English, French and History; Olive Moffitt, who leads the class in short¬ hand and typewriting, and Frank McIntosh, who shines in bookkeeping. Such bright students as George Hodge, Marjorie Kelly, George Lucas and Dorothy Scott should be also remembered. Although none of the class is by any means lacking in brains, we have our few slackers, of whom we never speak; they are a “dead secret.” Well, in as few words as possible we have tried to tell you of our members, so now we take leave, and wish one and all of our fellow stu¬ dents a successful career. —Room 10. ROOM 11 Room 11 girls are all overjoyed that the baseball season has started. We are going to practice daily so that we may compete with other rooms. Our warning to others is this: “Be careful—for we mean business!” —Ruth Johnston. ROOM 12 In the speeches, Ambrose Wheatly was discovered to have a poetic soul; and the other speakers to be rivals of Demosthenes. All in all, those taking part in the competitions did exceptionally well.
