Our class officers are as follows: Nora Edwards, president; Helen Mil¬ ler, vice-president; Taxie McArthur, secretary; Emily Baker, sports cap¬ tain; Peggy McKay, librarian; and Vera Packman, Breezes representa¬ tive. Now permit me to introduce a few of our wise—and otherwise—pupils. 1. Nora Edwards—our brilliant warbler who took a leading part in the opera, and of whom we are mighty proud. 2. Taxie McArthur—the human question-box and latecomer. 3. Margaret Laing—the girl with a thousand faces. Last, but not least, we have our champion gum-chewers, homework borrowers and pests, as all classes do. Space does not permit us to convince you of our amazing dexterity. And now, to be exceedingly serious, Room 7 wishes to thank its teachers for their patience and coaching during the year. To the pupils we say, “May you all be as successful as we hope to be in the coming exams.” V.P. ROOM 7, XI-J Back Row—M. Archer, C. Scott, J. McFa.rlane, H. Young, I. Jardine, D. McDonald, I.

62 D. M. C. 1. BREEZES The teachers get mixed because they’re like twins. Lillian Moody, parked in the front seat, In arithmetic she can’t be beat. Anna Johannesson has dimpled cheeks And smiles upon each one she meets. Ellen Goodman, our Helen Kane singer, When she boop-boop-a-doops we all want to linger. Essie, Evelyn and Edith are always together, Their friendship you cannot sever. Ethel Tottle, a conscientious worker, Has never been known as a class¬ room shirker. Gertrude Walker is very petite, And in her dress she’s always neat. Betty Rollins, a giggly lass, In History we doubt if she’ll pass. Grace McClellan is quite an adviser, But when she’s finished we’re little the wiser. Jean and Cathie like to talk And some day they’re gonna get caught. Lily Cook is our opera dancer, But in class she doesn’t always answer. Eleanor Drevant, our champion typist, And for a friend she’s one of the nicest. Gwen Bergman is plump and sweet, Just the type you’d like to meet. Kay Perry in work and in play Does her best from day to day. Mabel Cheater, it’s hard to find What really is her favorite line. Rhoda Matheson does not shirk, She always does every bit of her work. Vera Parry is very bright, She does her homework every night. (Miss Douglas is known throughout the school For making us keep the Golden Rule.) In sports our volleyball teams came out on top of all Grade XI’s. Our debaters have been doing ex¬ ceptionally well and are now in the finals. We had quite a number of girls in the opera. Also a few of our girls were in the dancing. In memory of our beloved classmate, Dorothy Reith, who passed away on Dec. 11, 1930. Ere sin could blight or sorrow fade, Death came with friendly care, The opening bud to heaven con¬ veyed, And bade it blossom there. ROOM 24 Radio Station DMCI now brings to you Room 24, their chief announcer being Douglas Philips, presenting his annual talk on the “History of Room 24.” The Company was formed Septem¬ ber 4, in the year 1930. The first step was the election of the Com¬ pany’s officers, which resulted as fol¬ lows: Douglas Philips, President, who is to be complimented on his oratory. Myfie Jones, Vice-President, who is commonly known as “Muwy.” Audrey Coleman, Secretary, whose voice at the games leads us on to victory (hockey games?). Neil Cooper is our Breezy editor. In the ranks of sports you have all heard of us, capably led by Audrey
