THE VALUE OF LIFE INSURANCE One of the first assets that a young man should Obtain is a life insurance policy, because it is now recognized that life insurance is the most valuable property that one can own. It protects dependents through the payment of the sum insured if death occurs. And these payments can be made in the form of monthly income instead of one lump sum. The sum assured can be payable to you at the end of a certain specified number of years such as 10, 15, 20, 25 or 30 years. The money can be used to purchase a business, a home, for travel, or for any other purpose. Life insurance is the unbeatable provider for old age. It takes care of the old man you are going to be some day. It can be used to provide a college education, payments starting at age 18. A life insurance policy can often be used as collateral security. Bankers every- where recognize the value of life insurance. One is often tempted to invest in stocks. Returns depend upon a fluctuating market and often. the purchaser loses everything. Life insurance, on the contrary, is secure. Life insurance values are guaranteed and have always been paid to the dollar. These are some of the reasons why every young man should own a life insurance policy. When selecting the company with which to insure choose The Mutual Life of Canada, which is Owned by the policyholders. There are no shareholders. ALL dividends are paid to policyholders.

THE ORACLE 77 WHAT A SCHOOL THIS WOULD BE . . . IF Howard were bad instead of Good, Grace were a paddle instead of an Orr, Bert were a bad one instead of a Goodwin, Donald were a captive instead of a Freeman, John were a Massey instead of McCormick, Gloria were short instead of Long, Grace were a bush instead of a Woods, Raymond would wash instead of Koch, Dorothy were a hollow instead of a Hill, Ralph were a sparrow instead of a Robbins, Jean were a breadbaker instead of a Shoemaker, Howard were a boot instead of a Shuh, Raymond were a warble instead of a Bott, Jimmy were a hammer instead of a Vice, Helen were an ain't instead of an Arndt, Audrey would bake it instead of Burnett, Donald were a floor instead of a Selling, Jack were weak instead of Strong. I have gathered together some of the many good points of the pupils of Grade 12 and created a perfect girl and boy. THE IDEAL BOY He would have Stanley Beisel's dark brown curly hair, Bruce Rup- pel's quizzical eyebrows, and Louis Klinck's long curling eyelashes overshadowing his deep dark eyes. David RoWland's cheerfully curved mouth would. do wonders to Donald Weichel's firm white teeth, while Bill Arnold's broad shoulders and athletic body would make any thin boy envious. Keith Keller's quiet politeness, Douglas McKay's gay and chipper point of view, Donald Freeman's grin, Jack Strong's vast store of conversational ammunition, La- verne Miller's hockey playing and Norman Hathaway's deep baritone voice, complete my conception of a perfect specimen. If you don't agree, take particu- lar notice the next time. THE IDEAL GIRL She would have Betty Schum- mer's raven black locks offsetting Mary Howard's fair complexion, Lorine Weber's beautiful expres- sive eyes, Marie Weichel's pert nose with Jean Klinck's cute red mouth acting as a background for Eleanor Arnold's winning smile. Janet Morlock's trim slender figure, combined with Ruby Gies' meticulousness, would effectively set off any selection of clothes. Dorothy Mulholland's hands and fingers would do justice to any kind of jewelry. With Ruth Dillon's singing voice, Helen Karley's intelligence, and Audrey Hahn's quietness sprinkled with Gladys Doherty's gaiety and wit, I give you the ideal girl. -THE AUTHOR? - GUESS.

THE ORACLE wg7Q:' 79 THE LOVERS' RO0ST Mr. Kendall did his best But couldn't stop the lovers' nest, Among the lockers of fourth and third, Until Mr. Currie's voice was heard. A scurry here, a scramble there, And then somebody fell somewhere, When up the hall our look-out spied The principa1's great and heavy stride, ' First saw his hair and then his face, Although between us was great space, But with one wild dash he across it flew, And. we didn't know just what to do. When it was over around us we spied, Saw Midge in her locker as if to hideg Bernice struggled manfully with a knot in her lace, And June and Betty locked in ,em- brace, But the words from our principal we'll never forget: Are you loafers or lovers ? -the nail he did hit, How could he guess it, when all we do Is poke around vainly tying our shoe? But that isn't the first time we've been caughtg When'Mr. Currie sees us, he makes it hot. From now on, our group is truly reformed, No hanging 'round corridors after having been warned. Miss MacVicar: Improve this sentence: Girls is better-looking than boys . Lloyd Mulholland: Girls is arti- ficially better-looking than boys. lk Pls :lf Mr. Hardy: Kenneth, give me the formula for water. Kenneth: H I J K L M N O. Mr. Hardy: Who gave you that v idea. Kenneth: You didg you said it was H,O. Patronize Uur Advertisers We thank our advertisers for their response to our request that they use the Year Book as a medium of advertising.
