D. M. C. I. BREEZES 27 ROOM 58 Last Will and Testament This is the last will and testament of the pupils of 1928-29 of Room Fifty-eight, Daniel McIntyre Collegiate Institute, in the City of Win¬ nipeg, Manitoba. We do hereby extend to our successors the perseverance and genius (?) which has marked us as an outstanding Grade XII. We also donate the few prized possessions of the room, which, though carved with initials and appropriate drawings, are nevertheless “none the worse for use.” We give and bequeath to those who follow us the oratory of Isabel Craig, whose voluptuous and sonorous voice has characterized her as a successful debater. We bequeath to Martha Setter the musical genius and accomplish¬ ments of Margaret Marsh. To Billy Quayle and Lloyd Hilton we do solemnly bequeath the idiosyncrasies and ludicrous, droll actions and noises of Stuart Crerar. To Florence McLeod and Corny De Fehr we leave the intellect and ability of Helen Maclennan and Margaret Hill. To Theresa Diner and Olivia Breckman we do hereby bequeath the athletic virtues and success of Marguerite Ross. We choose Wilmot Shepherd as an aspirant to John Ridge’s ex¬ tensive knowledge of chemical research. The characteristics which unite to form John Barnacal’s genius as a born mathematician we leave to Bob Bennett. The skill and fervor of Margaret Bowser at sketching pictures and constructing “new seating plans,” we bequeath to Bob Williamson, the Grade XI cartoonist. We set as an example for the future president of Room 58, our own worthy class president, Jim Agnew, who has more than fulfilled the expectations of the class by his conscientious and loyal work. To Mae Kennedy and Don Campbell we bequeath the popularity and competency of Alice Shanks, our secretary, and Gordon Cane, our school president. To all those of our successors who especially belong to the Eatmore Club, we do solemnly bequeath for models and perfect examples the insatiable appetites of Wilda Crerar and Eleanor Bradburne. Binkley’s motto of “Better Late than Never,” we donate to those of our successors who claim personal ownership of the revised motto. “Late to bed, later to rise, Gives plenty of sleep, but ‘beaucoup de’ sighs.” We pass on to our Grade XI followers the ardor and musical skill of Annie Metzak and Norman Wilde, both of whom enthusiastically took part in our school orchestra. We leave to Gordon Ridge the power of Stella Waite, our star ex- plicator, to extol famous family traditions and experiences. We bequeath to our successors the exceptionally competent teach-

D. M. C. I. BREEZES 2(5 Graduating Classes AN IDEAL SCHOOL Let me go to a school, wherever it be, Where a life of all ease I may find; Where history is banished, and French is left out, And my text-books I may leave behind. Let me find in that school, no terrible rooms, Where we ignorant may be detained; No worrisome office to which one is sent, And where late passes may be obtained. A school where Latin to me may be Greek, Where my homework will not me unnerve; Where in intervals long between classes so few, A sumptuous light lunch they will serve. Let me go to that school, wherever it be, As long as it is far, far, from this. I’ll have six months’ vacation just twice in each year, To the teachers I leave, ’twill be bliss. 1 —M.H., 58.
