D. M. C. I. BREEZES 41 ROOM 22 Room 22 was missing when the last issue of the “Breezes” appeared, but, due to the untiring efforts of our Chief Detective, Mac. Malcolm, and the timely assistaneeof the Lost and Found department, it has been located, and here we are. Detective Malcolm has several theories con¬ cerning this matter, but personally, we strongly suspect that Ed Bratton knows more about it than he cares to admit. He was always a somewhat dubious character. We are all very sorry to lose our President, Bill Lamont. Bill has left us to face the cold, hard world by himself. He is, we understand, in the employ of an insurance company. The day he added himself to the staff, the stock of the company rose five points. You may draw your own conclusion from this. We wish Bill all the luck we can spare—luck is very scarce now, and we need all we have for the rapidly approaching June exams. George Stephens, our infant prodigy, in a moment of reckless aban¬ don, threw a nickel up on the ledge which runs around near the top of the room, and has suffered a lapse of memory ever since. (Scottish papers please copy.) We ask Mr. Fyles to remember this when George forgets his French books. Speaking of orators, how about Catherine Elliot 1 We have to admit that she can’t be beaten. Why Catherine did not win the Provincial con¬ test we do not know, but Chief Detective Malcolm has promised to in¬ vestigate the matter thoroughly, to find out what was wrong with the judges. Nevertheless, we most heartily congratulate Catherine, and we feel positive that she will “clean up” next time. —B.K. ROOM 24 This trip you are going to hear from the good ship “24.” Last voyage, on account of winds and rocks, our S.O.S. signals (it :ms) did not reach the land (press). Our pilots (teachers) tell us we are a lively crew, and we are inclined to believe them. We were well prepared for our Christmas exams, by the social we had on Dec. 14th, on the deck (erection shed) when the winning volleyball team, team A, was enter¬ tained by the remainder of the room. Teams were chosen and relay games enjoyed. Light refreshments were served by the social com¬ mittee, who very nearly succeeded in leaving them in the galley (top of the piano). The captain (Miss Bucknam) and crew enjoyed the sur¬ prise indeed. When six bells tolled “All on board for port ‘24’ ” a cry of regret was heard from the industrious crew. —G.C. Room 24 failed to announce that their class had elected officers: Adelpha Baldwin President; May Kennedy, Secretary, also Secretary of the Junior Council; Vida Bennet and Maria Jonsson, Committee; Eliza-

40 D. M. C. I. BREEZES well informed that we belonged to the Daniel McIntyre, by continually giving our school yell. Although not all of us are gifted with good voices, three of the girls distinguished themselves by taking part in the solo, duet, and trio work in the Musical Festival, the results of which were very satisfactory. No matter what the years to come hold in store for us, we shall always have memories of our school days. They are ours—no one can buy or steal them—and if the road seems difficult, let us look through our book of memories. It will give us comfort and strength to carry on our work in life. We are— F—first-rate. I—intelligent. F—friendly. T—talented. E—efficient. E—energetic. N—native of the D.M.C.I. ROOM 13 QUERIES Will Rhoderick be late on the Examination Day? Is there any sensible answer to Stirling’s questions? Do Teeny and Wilda ever run out of secrets? Do Lillian and Hannah enjoy Physics? When is Audrey going to move to Hollywood? What marks would Joe get if he worked? How long will Stella (star) Waite until she is as good as her name implies? A Hike On March 9th, a number of the inmates of Room 18 made their way to the home of the Templeton Twins. When all those who were expected had arrived, (the 10 o’clock scholars were late) the merry party boarded the west bound street car, and alighted at the pontoon bridge. They tramped about in the snowbanks of Assiniboine Park, and finally fol¬ lowed the river back to the city. Mrs. Templeton was again raided by Ihe party and served them a satisfying lunch of weinies and rolls. After a jolly sing-song, the hikers said “Good-bye,” and found their way home. ROOM 21 On March 7t ! h, during the interval allowed for “luncheon,” Room 21 staged a winning battle of words with Room 10 in Room 58. The sub¬ ject of the debate was, “Resolved, that Vancouver has a greater future than Winnipeg,” Margaret Junkin and Sergius Fraser represented the affirmative side to perfection, and we are justly proud of our young orators. Bob Swan and Harold Simpson, though losers, delivered very tine addresses. Room 21 and Room 50 held two enjoyable evenings this winter, in the form of tramps. The usual “eats” were served at the homes of two of the girls, Doreen McLellan and Doris Henderson.

42 D.M. C.I. BREEZES beth Morganstern, Sports Captain; Verna Morris, “Breezes” Repre¬ sentative. On Friday evening, January 21st, the girls of Room 24 (there are no boys in the room, thank goodness!) held a toboggan party at River Park. Although the weather was very cold, it did not prevent our having “one grand outing.” The party had originally been planned for January 14th, but the weather was so mild that we postponed it for a week. After tobogganing for an hour we finished the evening by having refreshments and musical numbers at the home of Ada Loban. After¬ wards we returned to our respective homes, and during the long ride on the street car, the school yell was heard many times. Of course, our worthy president, Adelphia Baldwin, and May Kennedy, our honorable secretary, were present. We owe many thanks to our sport captain, Elizabeth Morganstern, who arranged the party, and to Ada’s mother for her kindness. —D.K. Very early in the school year we, in Room 24, discovered how best to keep ourselves “before the eyes of the public” but within the hear¬ ing of those unfortunate people. This fact has been clearly shown in a number of ways, one of these being the debates. Our class elected as its representatives Margaret Chappie (leader) and Mary Close. Our op¬ ponents were Percival Haynes and Earl Hamilton. Bob Swan made an efficient chairman. The subject debated was, “Resolved that capi¬ tal punishment be abolished.” Room 24 supported the negative. Miss Hickson and Mr. Cooke, the judges, decided in favour of our opponents. —M.C., Room 24. ROOM 45 It is rumored that Murray Keays is touring the world this summer, Oh well, after resting all this term he would need a change to wake him up. Ed Carson likes this half hour study period, it helps him catch up in his sleep. Walter Greenwood is attempting the English Channel swim this summer. After lolling around for several months, one would think of taking a bath. Joseph Cohen uses an Eversha.rp to cut down the wear on the pencil sharpener. —Joe McKracken. ROOM 47 Well, at last 47 has something to brag about! Edna Chapman, our future—we haven’t decided who-—was suc¬ cessful in gaining second place in the recent Musical Festival. Edna is in the Primary High-Voice Class and lost out by only one point. Martha Setter, our “famous” contralto songstress, along with
