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.

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.

Enid Newland’s ambition is to keep her nose powdered for one whole period. Rod Matheson’s favorite saying changes about twice a week. His weakness is the fair sex. Jack Goodall comes to school when he’s broke. His ambition is to become a Girl’s Guide. Jack Grimble’s age is three stiff bristles on a rather dormant chin. Muriel Porter’s greatest achievement is one correct in Geometry. Her weakness is the aforementioned. Edgar Thompson has two weaknesses—study periods and Margaret Fulton. Don Ross’ greatest ambition is to sit one composition period without attracting Miss Crilley’s attention. Peter Pilip really enjoys handing in composition donations at the last possible moment. Stuart Blackie is not bad, even if he does say that ethers are cream¬ faced. The Will’s twins are so much alike that when Rita asked to borrow a mirror, Irene Johnston carelessly said “Oh just look at Ruby.” Arthur Pomphrey—Will be a good footballer in his t ime. He should be watched, (Mr. Greenlees). Douglas Howard—Brother of the famed magician, Walter Howard. Will he follow in Walter’s footsteps? Arnold Sundby—Does his own homework how he likes, and when he likes, which isn’t very often. ROOM 12—MR. GREENLEES
