54 D. M. C. I. BREEZES If you think Daniel Mac’s the best, Tell ’em so. If you’d have it lead the rest, Help it grow. When there’s anything to do Let them always count on you, You’ll feel happy when it’s through, Don’t you know. ROOM 45 The room in the corner is known by all They call us the room of the friendly call, The teachers at the door oft lurk, In search of homework which we shirk. In basketball we do excel, And hockey shows we never fail, For every championship we’re in Our room is always sure to win. ROOM 21 The officers of Room 21 are. President, Martha Blakeney; Vice-Pre¬ sident, Alma Dorbey; Secretary, Margaret Russell; Sports Captain, Annie Hay. The girls in the basketball team of Room 21 worked hard through¬ out the winter months to win the Grade IX championship, in which they succeeded. They had a hard time to defeat Room 51. The lightweight basketball players are Dorothy Young, Iso ' bel McBean, Margaret Rus¬ sell, and Annie Hay. The heavyweight players are Ethel Tottle and Nellie Moodie. We are represented in the Grade IX Glee Club by Nellie Moodie, Vice-President; Margaret Russell, Secretary; Martha Blakeney, assist¬ ant pianist. Our candidate, Dorothy Young, was elected President of the Prim¬ ary Council. ROOM 8 The woods are so green with the spruce and pine; We like to play hookey when days are tine, But as well as our fun, Work must be done; If we care to pass out of grade nine. We work very hard from nine until four, We stop not to talk, nor gaze out the door. If we work very fast, We are certain to pass, Ne’er to return to grade nine any more. —J.N.

D. M. C. I. BREEZES 53 ROOM 48 Our class president is Miss McCue, a promising young person. Our secretary is Alec. Ferworn, a gentleman of first standing, who gets more than his share of exercise trotting down stairs for more chalk. Mr. Evans is our star mathematician and also shines in bookkeeping with such radiance that he has eclipsed all others in the room. As to Nora Edwards, she is our Melba, being able to capture the prize in anything from a school contest to grand opera. Kelly has gone and we have to turn to our dictionaries once more. How we miss him! These are only a few of our notables; next year you will learn of others. —W.M. ROOM 46 Room 46 came into the limelight this term. It has two representa¬ tives in the Primary Council, and two of its students spoke in the finals in the Public Speaking Contest. In studies and sports its members are doing remarkably well. Though it has its good points, Room 46, like every other classroom, has its bright heads, semi-conscious and fatheads. You will hear more of this class next year when its members are seniors. - —A.S. ROOM 49—“THE McNOISE CLAN” This is a class of rare intelligence or rather rare with intelligence. Our teachers tell us that they have never had a class with the same abil¬ ity. We never think of not doing our homework; we forget without thinking. If a teacher walks into the room he is struck by our intelli¬ gent expressions. If it is a pupil he is struck with the fact that the female members of the class are quite stunning. We have many distinguished characters in the class. For instance, there is the “late” Roy Archibald Cunningham, whose ancestors were late for the ark. Then there is our old friend Kemp, who knows everything from a needle to an anchor, particularly the needle. Last, but not least o ' f all, is our president, Edward Kobold, the only seventy-two inch dwarf in captivity. DANIEL MAC’S When a stranger from afar Comes along, Tell him who and what you are— Make it strong. Never flatter, never bluff, Tell the truth, for that’s enough. Be a booster, that’s the stuff— Don’t just belong.

D. M. C. I. BREEZES 55 THE MASTER MIND In days of yore from the Greek’s fair shore The great and noble Euclid came. Though twenty centuries have past His shadow still o’er us is cast. He had a keen and active mind, Found occupation hard to find; Science then was baby play, Holding a vague uncertain sway. The facts established yesterday Were disputed theories of today; There nothing staple could he find To occupy his busy mind. To Mathematics then, alas! He let his calculations pass; And from that day till now you see, Poor mortals learn Geometry. —SERGIUS FRASER, Room 18 ART APPRECIATION The Breezes has long been recognized as a weapon of assault in our battle for “School Spirit.” Every struggle results in the survival of the fit—or so we have been told—but in this case more interest should be directed towards a “revival,” We really have some “School Spirit,” but it is kept so well bottled up—as some spirits should be— that its very reality is doubted at times. Supporting the existence of a “School Spirit” our greatest argu¬ ment is the way in which we boost our school—to outsiders. ' One would think the whole wind section of the orchestra was practicing when we start to describe our musical feats and triumphs! And well might we be proud! Such amazing progress, too, as we have witnessed in the art of public speaking and debating !! But out powers of delineation reach their zenith in the description of the school itself with its various works of sculpture and art about the corridors and rooms. If we ever exaggerate—0 foolish one who curseth his soul for the sake of his pride—we do so only to hide the deficiency in our argument caused by the lack of an auditorium. Parents! note to what an extremity your young people are being driven—all for the lack of an auditorium !! Speaking of art, how many of us know anything about the art objects our own halls contain? Does the name ‘Carrara” suggest any¬ thing to our minds? Not likely, yet nevertheless it is the name of the
