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

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.

SNAPSHGTS OF IO foe Harrison Our room is in the basement of the school and is a very good class when we consider its location and that it was probably meant for a play room. The form teacher, Mr. Douglas, is a young man of a jovial type and is liked by all. At the first of the year the class was noisy between periods, as all first forms will be, but now we have got over this stage and are very serious with our work. In the first semester of the year when Literature was taken, the class was very good in dramatics. We are proud of our athletes, Cecil Guest, Charles Lunney and Al. Sims, who represented IO on the Junior Rugby team, and Maurice Hewitt who is a Senior Basketball player. We are now engaging very enthusiasf tically in oral compositions and debates. ZA BULLETIN William Friend In our midst, there is a student whom we are proud of. This young man has just won the North American Indoor Speed Skating Championship. This brilf liant skater also holds the Canadian Cut' door Championship. So, hats offito Ted Yates of ZA! In the highly amusing play now be- ing produced, ZA is represented by Thomas Barry and Peter Heenan. The name of this play is the Trickirig of Malf volio. Barry portrays the blustering character of Sir Toby, and Heenan the comic knight, Sir Andrew. Cn the junior Basketball Team, ZA is represented by jack Steen and Syd. Russell. Next week, we play our first basketball game and we hope it is not the last. The enthusiasm of 2A was somewhat dampened, when the debaters, Sydney Sugarman and Peter Castellan of this room, bowed their heads in defeat to 2C. However, we reached the third round of the debates. Seventy-six ZC BRIEF Grace Lurm Class 2C ' Room 308 Proud of: Our form teacher, our school, our principal, our teachers, our def baters, our class. Keen in: Plays, debates, sports. Future: All hope to be outstanding chartered accountants. Doubtful: Shorthand Dictation and French Verbs. Drama: Cur outstanding feature is, that ever since the beginning of Eastern Commerce the form 2C has been a boys' class. This year, however, must have provided a great surf prise. Last fall, as each new teach' er arrived, he entered expecting to see a crowd of hefmen, but instead, saw rows of keenflooking flappers. My, how their hearts fluttered and their voices quaked when they asked timidly, Is this 2C? . Three rousf ing cheers for the Eastern High School of Commerce. RAH! RAHII RAHQ A SKIT BY ZD May famesori Smiles vanished, chattering ceased, all eyes were turned to the front, as in walked the school marm. Tofday will be your first lesson in History. We are going to study the life of John Simcoe. Every one sat listenf ing attentively to the questions which the teacher asked. Who was John Graves Simcoe? I never heard of him, ref plied one scholar. After a bated silence the teacher said Mary can you tell the class the story, as you have read it? Mary stood and gave her interpretation of the story as she had read it. John Graves Simcoe! the teacher exf claimed. 'Why that was Napoleon. Every one turn to Simcoe and next time look closer at the numbers. The class broke out with mirth. All laughed and giggled as out walked Miss Daly--the bell had rung. EASTERN ECHO
