54 E. H. S. GRAD GAZETTE WAR SAVINGS STAMP DRIVE “Buy War Savings Stamps” was the constant plea, but it didn’t seem to do any good. The Eastwood students (we wonder?) never even seemed to see the notices or hear the announcements regarding these stamps. One day early in March someone had a brain-wave. Plans were rapidly made and on March 19 our War Savings Campaign began. The committee in charge was headed by Lola Patterson and the other members were Muriel Smith, May Dennistoun, Georgina Shillabeer and Robert Campbell. Not many were sold on Friday, so on Monday speeches were made in all the rooms, and things really began rolling. As a result of the six-day campaign (school days only counted), we sold 499 stamps or a total value of $124.75. Room 19 led the parade closely followed by Room 18. However, that is not the only thing. Apart from the drive we have sold another $100.00 worth of stamps, bringing the grand total for the school year to approximately $225.00. Keep up the good work, Eastwood. SPORTS -— Continued from Page 40 In outdoor activity, hockey, softball and rugby teams were picked, with hockey and softball seeing the most activity. The boys who take a real part in sporting activities show their appreciation by turning out for scheduled games. It has been the lack of this very thing which has caused the slight decline in boys’ sports this year. The hockey teams saw the most action this term, as many inter-school games were played. The captain, Joe Cherniawski, proved himself to be as fine a player on the ice as he is on the gridiron. Eastwood High School has been well represented in city, provincial and dominion sports. Many famous names in the sporting world today are graduates of this school. These athletes have won the acclaim of thousands of sport fans, and I am sum E. H. S. will follow their fine example and prove that sporting activity is one of the finest aspects of high school life.

Do you think you can stay here all night?” Jerry Baldwin: “Well, I’ll have to ’phone mother first.” Unto the hat the girdle said: “Proceed, my darling dear, While you, sweet hat, go on ahead, I shall bring up the rear.” Stout Lady (to little boy) : “Can you tell me if I can get through this gate to the park?” Little Boy: “I guess so. A load of hay just when through.” It is said that at a certain “Lit” (not at Eastwood), a clergyman was asked to speak. He arose, looked over the student body carefully, and then —prayed for them. He: “When I was in Europe I saw a woman hitched to a mule.” She: “That happened at my wed¬ ding, too.” Georgina: “Whenever I’m in the dumps I get myself a new hat.” Barbara: “I was wondering where you got them.” Cinderella: “Godmother, must I leave the ball at twelve?” The Good Fairy: “You won’t go at all if you don’t stop swearing.” The dizzier a girl is the more the fellows want to give her the whirl.

DEDICATION TO THE TEACHERS On our masters and teachers, opinions are legion, Each has his place in the cerebrum region. So as we are leaving, we want to express Our thanks for assistance in many a mess. In Algebra, Trig., Chemistry, French, We’ve all slumped together on Ignorance bench, Many of us are seated there still In spite of our teachers’ efforts and will. We know Mr. Sim is a friend to all, He’s never unfair and get angry with all. Mr. McGuire, ex-wrestler, quite nice, Keeps young gentlemen sitting as quiet as mice, When over the room he casts his eye, Searching for you, or could it be I? This one you’ll guess, or have you the guile? He rubs his nose and thinks awhile. Then says he with untroubled smile, “Name me an enzyme of the bile.” And then Mr. Clarke, our dancing master, Who cheerfully leads us through disaster, As step after step, we struggle to learn, But find that our feet run their own concern. But now Mr. Leaver, a versatile fellow, Who at times breaks out with a baritone mellow, Or at some other time he may give a few talks On the way Venus wanders, or the way Johnstone walks. Mr. Younie, the boss, is last but not least, And pupils try, like pigs that are greased, To slip through his fingers when they’ve done wrong, But they never can do it for very long.
