44 D. M. C. I. BREEZES Elenore Desreux, our dashing friend from France, Devotes all her energies, to watering the plants. Evelyn Johnstone and Hilda Oram have the brains of the room, No doubt they’ll know as much as the teachers do soon. Jack Thompson and Alan Hutchings resemble the wise old bird, They see lots and know lots but are very seldom heard. Jean McAllister and Winnie Onskip shine in music and singing, Though they get little encouragement, if they rehearse while we’re working. Iris Hood, Lillian Sharp and Margaret Moffatt are all Attentive to work and the fashions for fall. Alf Cleven and Watson McKinnon are both good at working, That is with the exception of when they are talking. Myril Snelling, Dorothy Garrett, and Doris Carter, Are as fast on the race track, as they are on the typewriter!. Jack Lawrie and Joe Catanzaro are men of great patience, When they get together you’d think them politicians. Catherine McDonald, Annie Boag, Margaret Ridgedale, deserve honorable mention, As they are all famous, for paying attention. In science, Sadie Jeffrey is a credit to the room, Though she’d make it an aquarium, if she could, very soon. Now the year is nearly over, and we’re not all coming back, But we’ll all wish the best, for the good old Daniel Mac. IN MEMORIAM In memory of our classmate, Nelson Lear, who died April 26, 1929, the students of Room 10 wish to extend their deepest sym¬ pathy to the friends and relatives of their late schoolmate. Years roll on, time may fly, Forget you? no, we’ll never try: Sleep on, dear friend, and take thy rest, They miss you most who loved you best.

D. M. C. I. BREEZES 43 shed. The reason this write-up has been prepared is to start them out in life with something more than a good education, which very few in Room 6 have the fortune to possess. The members of Room 6 wish to take this opportunity of thanking the teachers and staff for their able assistance throughout the term. It is our opinion that we could not have got along so well without their timely co-operation. Before going any further, I have an announcement to make. All the partners-in-crime of Room 6 are requested to meet at River Park on Friday, June 7th, at 7 p.m., for the final but best snowshoe tramp of the, season. Information has reached us that several of the females of the species of Room 6 are about to pay a visit to China to see the Pagodas this year. We hope they will like them well, as they treated us civilly on our recent visit. We fear that there are not enough medals in the school to go over Room 6 this year, as we expect everyone to graduate with honors. I have no doubt that they will all do so and the sincere wishes of Room 6 and myself go out to all those who leave the school this year. —J. MeC. WHO’S WHO IN ROOM 10 First there’s Norman Peterson, our worthy President. The man for his job and exceedingly competent. Next Marion Vincent, our hardworking secretary, Excels in anything, either oratorical or literary. Margaret Johnson, quiet but intelligent, Has the honor to be known as Room 10’s vice-president. Lillian Small, sport’s captain of the females, Can turn out a team, that very seldom fails. The boys chose their captain in Vernon Leatherdale, He keeps them in shape and also out of jail. Phyllis Baylay, the librarian, keeps the books up-to-date, And has gray hairs trying to keep the bookcase in shape. In shorthand and typing Ethel Pollit excels, She’ll be a credit to us some day, though we say it ourselves. Olga Edwards and Beatrice Armstrong are two steady workers, They benefit our room, by their influence on shirkers. To Edward Fenton, business success will surely come, ’Cos he works like a Trojan, yet has plenty of fun.

D. M. C. I. BREEZES 45 ROOM 22 Room 22 is composed of the proud remnants of three or four classes, who were in their prime among .the best in the school. This class can therefore boast of students who have gone through the mill (exams.), and who have come out triumphant and with increased re¬ putation. Our class officers are: Margaret Norrie, President; Wilmot Shep¬ herd, Secretary-Treasurer; Thora Olson, Girls’ Sports Captain; Harold Davidson, Boys’ Sports Captain; and our puny and diminutive Breezes representative, Lome Coates. Wilmot Shepherd, our elongated shark in mathematics (not so good in acrobatics), is the star of the class, being at the head in both the Christmas and Easter totals. Hilda Miller and Grace Shepherd, also no relative of Wilmot’s, have been second and third respectively. Mar¬ garet Junkin, Helga Reydal, and Lome Coates shine in English. Other students of our class who deserve praise are Clarence Robertson, Shiela Lawson, Hames Harding, Charlotte Williams, and Nino Forcese. In sports we are not so well represented, but Frank McIntosh and ROOM 22, GRADE XI F.
