Form News COMMERCIAL A round with Commercial is soon to begin, So bend low your ear and take it all in. Grade 12 is the leader, with seven all told, All girls and no boys, but the story's not cold. Kathleen and Gladys, the first of the lot, At talking and laughing always are caught. Next comes Helen, with Grace as her pal With answers in Bookkeeping, each ready to tell. Helena and Audrey are next on the list, Whenever they're away, they're sure to be missed Then last but not least, in the very back seat Is Ruth, by herself, so dainty and sweet. Grade 11, comes next, in the middle of the room, Five boys and three girls who make quite a boom. Verdun and Ruth, who talk all the timeg Our guess is love-it must be sublime. Murray' and John, Grade 11's two pests Talk on and on without a rest. Audrey and Lorne, two Winterbourne pals- One catches the guys, the other the gals. From Kathleen and Stanley, there's never a peep, To watch them you'd think they're almost asleep. Now come the -Specials who sit by the door, Five girls and three boys, without room for more. Kenneth and Mary, so calm and serene, In talking together are not very keen. Elma and Jean are the next two in sight, All one does is argue, the other's all right. Grace and. Elizabeth do nothing but work, And their homework at night they never shirk. Howard and Robert are new to the class, And both are hoping their exams they will pass. And now in conclusion we mustn't forget Our handsome young teacher whom no one regrets From Trinity he comes to teach us What's right And set our feet straight on the Path of the Light. -HELEN DECKERT

THE ORACLE GRADE XIII He sprang for his books and he grabbed them all three, And pulled on his coat and his mind was quite free, Gangway cried the student as the door bolts undrew, Run echoed his mom as he hurried right through. Behind banged the door, a.nd the house grew so calm, But out on the sidewalk our hero rushed on. At eighty fifty-five into school he did dash Right up to his locker, he flew like a flash, Then into the room to his dear old friend Fred, And taking a deep breath courageously said, O give me your French, and your Latin book too, For my homework last night I neglected to do. 'Twas two minutes to nine and the first bell had rung, But there was still laughing and plenty of fun, While Wilma and Orma the chattering type Were calmly discussing the deeds of last nightg There beside them Helena and Gladys we find Were making more noise than the whole class combined! Not a word to his class-mate, Ray's'conduct is great, And he relishes deep problems like something he ate. Bill turns from the desk to see a great sightg Namely, planes in hot haste like some birds in their flight, While Willard sleeps on through this tumult and din, And innocent Walter jabs him with a pin. There's Jenny the girl with bright hair of spun gold, Who's many a man's weakness we oft have been toldg Next is Grace, whose cough drops we can never pass by But at opportune moments, we snitch on the slyg And the shyest is John with his glossy black curls Who's an expert at blushing when talking to girls. Though Laverne was still copying as fast as could be, Not a hair of Ralph Howlett anywhere could we see 3 When, all of a sudden, with one minute to go, In dashed our friend Ralph, hailing Miller his foe g While the rest of the class still too noisy to hear' Were quite unaware Mr. Currie was near! Laverne is still copying but again are repeated, The words of ourprincipal Would you please, please be seated ? -By our friends may Grade XIII long be remembered And we'll now end this poem which to you we have rendered.
