Most students look forward to the end of their school days—no more nagging teachers, no more worrying over homework not done. But in reality there is a certain sentiment attached to one’s school days which, upon discovery, will lead us to appreciate the value of teachers as well as —Continued on Page i6

E. H. S. GRAD GAZETTE 16 Mary White- Mary White is not so dumb, At least she’s learned to crack her gum. Betty Williams- A little girl, a cheery smile, A friendly manner all the while. Isabella Wilson- Ella ’s her name, quiet her style, Demure her manner, pleasant her smile. Betty Youmans- Betty Youmans, a carefree lass, She’s the pianist in her class. THE GRAD EXECUTIVE — Continued from Page 9 The Photograph Committee consisted of Don Fallis, Lome Dyer, Betty Welsh and Lucy Palmer. Although final plans have not been arranged to date, it has been de¬ cided that the Grad Dance this year will be held in our own gym on May 22nd. By cutting down expenses in this manner, we hope to make enough profit to contribute some of the proceeds to a war fund. Although we are not having the customary banquet, a program will be provided and one of the best orchestras in the city will supply the music. Patrons and patronesses will include Mr. and Mrs. J. Younie, Mr. and Mrs. Crockford, and Miss Harris. This winds up the year’s activities for the 1942 Grads. Here’s wish¬ ing them the best of luck and success in their “Apres Lycee” years. EXCHANGE Many really different ideas have been found in the various papers we have received lately. To give you an idea of the style of these, there is the Fluke Bugle, a paper published by the Lowell on April Fools’ Day filled with a mixed-up page of make-up, screwy stories, continued mur¬ ders, etc. Also there is a note in the Westglen Parade on “How a Grade XII Student Does His Homework”—the guy that has the nerve to say he does 600 minutes homestudy per week. Other queer articles may be found on page 3 of the Crimson Rambler, which was made up as an April Fools’ joke. During the past year we have received copies of the following papers: The Crimson Rambler from Wellington, Kansas; The Lowell from San Francisco; K. H. S. Life from Vancouver; King Edward School Chronicle from England; The Crescent Siren, Calgary; The Western Mirror, Cal¬ gary ; The Cascadian, Banff; The Torch, Stony Plain, Alberta; The Blue and White from King Edward High School, Vancouver; The Perroquet from Regina; and from Edmonton, Vic Argosy, Westglen Parade, Tech ’Pinion and Commercial Chronicle.

18 E. H. S. GRAD GAZETTE HOnOR ROLL As defined by the dictionary, to study is “to bestow pains upon: to apply the mind to: to examine closely, in order to learn thoroughly, etc.” To many so-called students this idea has never occurred, but the following pupils have proven that their grey matter has been stimulated enough to bring them averages of over 75% at Christmas and Easter on thirty credits: Grade X—James Anderson, Roy Clark, Katie Kuziek, Thomas La- kusta, Donald McMillan, Violet Mercer, Mary Pomeranski, Gwen Roper. Grade XI—Douglas Baines, Donald Baker, Mary Fairhead, Joyce Hepburn, Jennie Lastiwka, Doreen Ockenden. Grade XII—Alice Laskiwski, Colin Gordon, Nellie Hunter, Robert McClary, Olga Myson, Muriel Smith. The I. 0. D. E. awards for last year were given to Edna Thomson, Room 21, and Gerald Cullen, Room 19, for English 2, and to Douglas Baines, Room 18, and Doreen Ockenden, Room 22, for Social Studies 1. Edna Remnick of Room 23 carried off the Public Speaking Cup this year.
