The room displayed its waggish wisdom in electing its officers as fol¬ lows: Earl Sutton, president; Eleanor Swaffield, secretary-treasurer; George Crayston, boys’ sports captain; Hazel Searle, girls’ sports captain. Did not our friend Shakespeare com¬ mend one who found “books in run¬ ning brooks, sermons in stones?” To test this theory we paid Mother Na¬ ture a visit one evening in September. It took the form of a weiner roast and, thanks to the dogs, it was a howl¬ ing success. The cars bore up well; in other words, very few flat tires were present. M. MacMILLAN. ROOM 14 As historian of this loud, clamor¬ ous, high-sounding, boisterous, turbu¬ lent, impetuous, disorderly, tumultous, outrageous and most atrocious class (i.e. we are noisy), I hereby announce, publish, declare, enumerate, make known, and otherwise promulgate and proclaim, the class officers.

We must now end our literary attempt with the mention of an extremely lively class party. We should very much dislike to have other students remain in ignor¬ ance of the fact that Room 51 is pos¬ sessed of a sense of fun and the ability to make “Whoopee!!!” Class Officers: President—Velma Bradley. Vice-President—Mary McPherson. Secretary—Evelyn Rutherford. Sports Captain—Beverley. Librarian—Margaret Gray. Breezes Representative—Elva Eye- ROOM 25 Room 25 is one of the peripatetic groups of our school family. When at home, our smiling faces brighten the Chemistry Lab; but as we have no desks, and our lockers are far away, we are generally in a state of migra¬ tion. In our itinerary we sojourn in many different rooms. This mode of existence has developed in us a cos¬ mopolitan attitude of mind. We are at home wherever we lay down our books. Speaking of books reminds us that it has been mildly insinuated that we occasionally export more than we import. One look at our guileless faces should convince the most casual ob¬ server that circumstantial evidence is a very insufficient source of proof.

58 D. M. C. I. BREEZES malt in our whisky was put down in 1907.) As usual, we cleaned up in school activities. Five members of Room 14 are puck-chasers on the D.M.C.I. team, and four others were prominent in H.M.S. Pinafore. Nor did our social activities suffer in any way during this period of men¬ tal stagnation (this term). To begin with, Room 51 invited us to accompany them to the wilds of the Assiniboia district for the purpose of assimilat¬ ing, digesting, devouring, and other wise destroying wieners. Of course we went and nous nous sommes amu¬ ses bien. Next, Room 52 requested the pleasure of our presence on a similar escapade. On this occasion things didn’t go quite so well, as the wieners got mixed. If you can imagine the delightfully appetizing flavor of a nice black cigar, liberally coated with mustard and embedded in a crisp, brown, roll, or mentally experience the choice pleasure of inhaling the aromatic fragrance of a smouldering wiener, you will realize what a won derful time we had. Of course the monotony of clas: routine is occasionally broken by more or less exciting events. For example just before Christmas we found our selves face to face with the horror? of a P.T. exam. However, much tc our regret some person unknown (?) put an extra lock on the door of the apparatus room. Needless to say wt boiled over with rage at the prospect of foregoing this exquisite form oi entertainment. In conclusion we wish to thank out ROOM 14, XI-G Back Row (from Left to Right)—H. Trott, H.
