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.

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.

46 D. M. C. I. BREEZES Harold Davidson have made a name for themselves, not only on the playground, but at the Inter-High Field Day meets. Some of our keenest music enthusiasts are Berkley Newman, Nadine Karpetz, Audrey Wilson, Margaret Norrie, and Thora Olson, who ably upheld the honor of our room in the presentation of “The Mikado.” In fact, every member of the class has made a creditable achieve¬ ment in some subject, and we sincerely hope that they will, one and all, have a successful career. - —L.C., Room 22. ROOM EIGHTEEN E ighteen! Eighteen ! Cheer for Mr. Fyles, I n French and fun and football he beats the rest by miles. 0 reat nature’s deepest secrets in Science we explore, H eat, light and sound in Physics and infinitely more. T hen when it comes to Chemistry Room 18 takes the cake, E mphatically we head the list with records hard to break. E verywhere school-spirit is our unchanging rule, N oble, unselfish sacrifice for the honor of our school. E ighteen ! Eighteen ! The finest room in school, I n English for our record inquire of Mr. IToole, G rammatically perfect, rhetorically complete, H eroically studious, blameless, attentive, neat; T alented in History from Britain’s early dawn, E ager and efficient even in learning “Wrong.” E tiquette is never entirely overlooked; N ow when it comes to mental strain Room 18’s always booked. E ighteen! Eighteen ! Listen while we tell, I ndoors and out of doors everything goes well. G ood in mathematics, thanks to Mr. Best. H ockey is our specialty, the finest in the West. T heory of music, the muses we emplore, E ven poor Miss Kinley says she’ll take the class no more. E verlasting harmony within our precincts dwell, N ever one discordant note to break the magic spell. — ' Sergius Fraser, Room 18. We beg to call your attention to the fact that we are the first room to have formed a Court of Justice in order to punish assassins, robbers, and GUMOHEWERS, the latter being the most frequent of¬ fenders. All criminals are doomed with a heavy fine of fifteen cents or imprisonment. This has become a very important source of revenue as it keeps us well supplied with hats and balls. We are thinking that if the funds continue to increase, the question will arise as to the installing of plush seats, ivory desks, and patent-leather foot-stools. —N.E., Room 18.
