D. M. C. 1. BREEZES 51 And at Wallis’ back we’re banging, ’Cause we’re late, just too late. Oh, the second bell is clanging, And at Wallis’ back we’re banging, And late-comers now are ganging, At the door of fifty-eight. Oh, the noon bell is sounding, Fifty-eight! Fifty-eight! And the students who are lounging Close their books to go and eat. Oh, the noon bell is sounding, And the students who are lounging, Soon will come a-bounding Through the door of fifty-eight. It is four bells ringing, Fifty-eight! Fifty-eight! All the students’ hearts are singing, Fifty-eight! Fifty-eight! It is four bells ringing, All the students’ hearts are singing, And their feet will soon be swining Through the door of fifty-eight. RALPH PAUL. ROOM 53. XI A. Due to our splendid achievements during the year we, Room 53, feel ourselves entitled to throw out our chests and add several flourishes to our renowned name. As for individuals in the room, I need only mention a few names to in¬ spire the whole school with awe, great names such as Grace Smith, the sec¬ retary of the School Council or Marion Erlendson who simply gobbles up the marks. In the realm of arguing we excel. Our first debate led us against that seemingly invincible Grade XII, Room MEMBERS OF ROOM 53. XI-A Back Row—R. Barker, D. Burrell, E. Barnett, M. Mitchell, J.

Swail Co., we held a very enjoyable Tally-ho ride, after which we retired to Dave McKay’s abode for refresh¬ ments., etc. Nearly everyone turned out from our room, including four horses. We hope to have more out at the next party. (No! Not horses.) Well, reader, perchance we have bored thee soundly, but remember, try to live up to your grade twelve class, and follow in its footsteps. (You’ll have plenty of room.) Copy our wags, and Heaven help you . . . we mean, bless you. Yours sincerely, ROOM 58. P.S. (Pos Stoffice)—We, the under¬ signed, hereby take it upon us ; to ex¬ tend a vote of thanks to Miss Doupe, our class teacher, for her considerate care of, and thoughtful kindness to her dear pupils during a most enjoy¬ able school term. JOYFUL FIFTY-EIGHT It is nine bells ringing, Fifty-eight! Fifty-eight! And to school our way we’re winging, But we’re late, just too late. It is nine bells ringing, And to school our way we’re wing¬ ing, To be met by Norman’s singing, At the door of fifty-eight. Oh, the second bell is clanging, Fifty-eight! Fifty-eight!

52 D. M. C. . BREEZES 58. And who do you think won! 58? No. Take off your hats to 53. Against other Grade XI’s we finally submitted to “19.” In music, our room is justly proud of Evelyn By water and Grace Smith, who played the parts of “Buttercup” and “Cousin Hebe” respectively in the H.M.S. Pinafore. Then, again, our room had the largest number of girls in the chorus. Thus, in music, we are an established fact. But even the finest peacock has not such good feet. This is generally ad¬ mitted. So, on memorable mornings throughout the year when perhaps the floor is littered with paper, or Miss Anderson stumbles over the week’s supply of milk bottles, the rainbow- hued bubble bursts (I am afraid I have mixed my metaphors sadly). We are crushed, discouraged, defeated, or something similar. But dry your eyes. There is no finer room than “53” and when each of us takes her own course after gradua¬ tion we shall look back with loving memories to our High School years. The room has sustained a very great loss in the death of one of its finest members, Hazel Thompson. Hazel had come up through Junior High School and then into Senior High School, with many of us, and her name will find a warm place in our memories. BETH KERR. ROOM 52 XI B.
