Why Ganlt This Life go on for ever- june to September. Blue Hours-Nine o'clock till 3.30. After Sundown-Homework. Oh Sweet Mystery of Life-Physiograf phy. FORM IF Norman Menes Our class is one of the best boys' first forms. Although we do our best work under adverse conditions in the portables, we also have much pleasure. We enjoy our sports, for instance, our interfform basketball team which has played one game and tasted defeat at the hands of our portable neighbours. However, we still consider ourselves in the running. We congratulate Roy Cotton, who, after being away for I5 days with mas' toid of the ear, stood first for the second time in succession. Alex Black and Ed' ward Lomax also deserve special menf tion for running tie in honours, second only to Cotton. In June examinations we hope to find all our class obtaining a pass. We know this is a high objective but every boy is trying hard. THE 309'ER Harry Scherk The class basketball team lost to IH in the recent game on Tuesday, February 20. The loss was nobodyis fault, and the team put up a good fight and lost cheerf fully, and we wish them better luck in their next game. The class paper, The 309'ER, seems to be slowly but surely coming along. The articles have been read out, and Walter Read is the author of a very humorous short story. The editor and his assistant expect The 3O95ER to be off the press shortly. NEWS OF IH I George Ellis We boys of IH take off our hats to Harold Rouhan, who stood first during the last term and who is still leading the class with an SO per cent mark. He is going to be hard to beat. The boys got together this week and elected the representatives for the various positions on the class paper, and we ex' Seventy-four pect good results from the committee. Our basketball team seems to have had success in their first game, winning by a score of IIf4. We have at least three stars in McLeod, Vousden, and Hanson, who have given a splendid show of bas' ketball technique. We have an exceptionally good swimmer, Eric Wall, who, when com' peting against some of the men in the Police Swimming meet at the Central Y. M. G. A., succeeded in beating several of them, and had the story of his success in the daily papers.

Why does so and so powder her nose before going to SO9? What makes Myrtle Legecy hustle around? What makes Elsie Anderson so unruly in class? Whose school ring does Marion Smith wear and why? What makes the little blonde go hippotyf hop? Who is the little girl always speaking out of turn? NEWS OF IL Kathleen Lo wthei' About the first thing we notice when we started this school was unusual subf jects. The form representative is Alice Kerr and the athletic representative is Kathleen Parker. Since September, IL has indulged in four volleyball games under the instruction of our captain, Evelyn Bamford. We won two, and you can use your imagination about the others. We are pleased to say that Marie Sanderson, who stood second in the last examinations, leads the class this time with a percentage of 75g also that Lil' lian Allen, who stood first in the last examinations, came in second this time, only two marks below the leader. An' other person on the honour list of IL is Kathleen Bailey. Kathleen lends her voice to the radio each week over one of our Toronto stations. EASTERN ECHO IM FLASHES Ioan Laidlaw A pretty one is Verna Lale, Vkfho is always climbing over hill and dale: Marian Wangland sits at her seat, With a despairing look and tired feet. jean Forsythe feels pretty numb, After chewing all day at her gum: June Graham the class book took round, And after that then it had to be found. joan Laidlaw has a lot of curls, And so have some of the other girls: Bernice Jackson is quite smart, When at Bookkeeping she makes a dart. May Mitchell is, from what I hear, Received at the rink with lots of cheer: Evelyn Bowers makes a lot of motions, I wonder where she gets her notions. IN FORM NEWS Sadie Mooi'e Under the leadership of Muriel Stevf enson, captain of the team, IN had quite a successful season in volleyball, winning all four form games. IF, however, pro- tested the score of one game, so we had to play three more to declare a winner. IN won the first game, IF the second, and in the third game we were defeated in a close score. We should like to see: Isabel Tait doing her work in Mathe' matics: Rhoda Cartmell when she is not laugh' ing: Betty Swindlehurst when she answers questions loud enough for all to hear: june Neville when she knows her mem' ory work. Famous Saying Heard in 109: Late again, eh? Give your answer to the class, please.. Speak louder, I cannot hear you. Those who have not their bookkeeping sets done. . . us Seventy-five
