E. H. S. YEAR BOOK 21 ROOM 11—MISS CRILLEY Warning—To the future patients of Teddy (Doc) Bell. Never! let him operate on you. He can’t even put a Jig-saw puzzle together. Speaking of Jig-saw puzzles John (Jiggs) Bell, as his namesake, absolutely detests them. Another event of the history of Jig-saw puzzles was the speedy assembling of one of the same by Charles Gogek—the only drawback was that it was during school hours and the teacher observed his valiant action —thus the puzzle was not completely assembled. Andrew Laine was the only one in Room 11 to obtain sufficient marks to get an Academic Pin. For a few minutes on one memorable day, Arnold Hougan was the hottest guy in Eastwood School, due to the meeting of a match and comb in his back pocket. Miss Crilley (after discussing heaven and asking who wanted to go there) : Don’t you want to go to heaven, Mac? Mac Morrison: Mamma told me to go straight home. Miss Crilley to Bennett Clark (whose alleged illness caused his ab¬ sence) : How was it then, Bennett, that I saw you pass the school on your bicycle during the morning? Bennett Clarke (slightly taken aback) : Yes, it must have been when I was going for the doctor. Eldon Reid: I’m tired of always being the goat. Dora Wooton: Then, why don’t you stop butting in.

22 EDOM 24—MISS CATO We are informed that Sid Reid, who stood on his head under a pile-driver for the purpose of having a tight pair of boots driven on, found himself the next day in China perfectly naked, and without a cent in his pocket. Miss Joyce Warren, a beautiful young lady, lighted a fire with kerosene last Saturday. Her funeral sermon will be preached this afternoon. No flowers. Laura Anderson put her tongue to a flat iron to see if it was hot. That household has been remarkably quiet since. Bud Lamb, against his wife’s wishes, persisted in smoking on a load of hay. He came home shortly afterwards without any whiskers or eyebrows and the iron framework of his wagon in a gunny sack. Robert Douglas mistook the head-light of an engine for a glow¬ worm. He subsequently joined the temperance society. We call Miss Cato Experience because she is a dear teacher. 1. Names. 2. Ambition. 3. Weakness. 1. “Sleepy” Hutchinson. 2.
