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

D. M.C. I. BREEZES 63 Harwood and Norman Norrie. Au¬ drey and her “pal,” Peggy Scott, have pushed their way over the volley-ball net. Norman, the all-round boy, shines in all sports. Then, of course, you have all seen tricky “Little” Bennie on the ice in our hockey attempts. Bennie does other things, too, folks. Introducing William Taylor now, representing the all-round athlete. Splash! Here comes Fred Carter, who will now give his short talk on “How to Swim.” Another important item on our pro¬ gram is Bert Gallop in “Skates First.” These are just some of the high¬ lights in our sports, but the others you witnessed on Field Day. The Company members were given a brief holiday to rest their weary minds after the first four months of their history. When work was again resumed, many of the partners turned their attentions to oratorical work, in which outstanding ability was shown. Among the notables in this work are Myfie Jones and Murray Samson, Douglas Philips and Charles Stewart, Audrey Coleman and Les¬ lie Lutes. When H.M.S. Pinafore sailed into port our company was ably repre¬ sented by George Murray, who played the part of Captain and he was a “right good captain, too.” And we must not forget Murray Samson’s “minor” part. Although all the history of the Twenty-fourth Company is up to date, its duties will continue. Room 24 is now signing off. So long, folks! ROOM 24, XI-L Back Row—F. Carter J. Thomson, F. White, B.
