Ewa Q' fcACADEMlCvv ELEANOR ARNOLD Because of Eleanor's colourful athletic career, her genuine school spirit and her A-1 scholarly abilities, Eleanor will long be remembered at E.H.S. She intends entering the University of Toronto this September to study Household Science and obtain her B.H.Sc. degree. We wish you good luck in whatever you do, Eleanor! i STANLEY BEISEL One of the jovial class members, Stanley is always amongst the leaders in school activities, especially from singing. His chief delight is securing apparatus for Chemistry classes. His ambition is to become a travelling accountant but time may find him Dominion House leader of the Conservative party. We wish him much success. RUBY GIES Ruby is a loyal friend and those of us who are her friends, consider ourselves very fortunate in having such a precious jewel in our possession, even though she will be with us only a little longer. Although Ruby is rather quiet, we agree that anyone can have fun with her. Best of luck at Normal next year, Ruby! ' BILL ARNOLD Bill is just the kind of fellow we know We would all like to be, a fine sport, a good student, and an all-round athlete. Always popular with the students, he has been this last year the president of the literary societyg indeed he has ever taken a leading part in school activities. Whatever your vocation may be Bill, may you have the best of luck. AUDREY HAHN Audrey, who comes from Hawkesville. has a quiet nature which has gained her many friends. She has been Madoptedw by Elmira for the past five years, and next year she intends to continue her studies in either Kitchener or Guelph, after which intends to become a nurse. We are sure she will make a success of whatever profession she chooses . Good luck, Audrey! DONALD FREEMAN Donald did not come to Elmira High until he was a third- former. But in his three years here he has, with his inimitable laugh, and brilliant wit, carved a well-earned niche for himself in our hall of fame. Donald is an all-round student and his going will be a great loss to the school.

44 THE ORACLE THE SKATING PARTY Do you like skating? But definite- lyln That's what most of the students in Elmira High would tell you if you asked them that familiar question. And they'd have proven it to you, too, if you had watched them at one of their famous skating parties on Friday night in January. Our old stand-by, Mr. Kendall, again sold the refreshments, but we canit truthfully say he never took a nibble of candy now and then because weive heard differently. But thatis okay, Mr. Ken- dall-you deserve it! Mr. Hardy, Miss MacVicar, Miss Cruickshank and Mr. Schoales were all skating. And by the way if you'd like to learn to do the Highland Fling on skates see Mr. Schoales. I believe his rates are quite reasonable. Seriously, the skating party was a real success and lots of fun. Our second 'chowling success held in March-on the second to be more speci- fic-was even bigger and better than the first. Everyone was on skates playing tick, crack-the-whip, twirling in loops, or else just skating. Soft drinks again were sold by our one-and-only Mr. Ken- dall and Mr. Schoales once more helped to ukeep things movingw. We came to the rink with the idea of having one swell time and we sure did! Will we see you there the next time? . i SKATING ON THURSDAY On Thursday at twelve by the clocks Oak doors fly open and off come the locks. Everyone's hurrying their work to get done, For they know they have to be back by one. On go the hats, the coats and the boots, Out of the doors a cloud of smoke shoots. Ah! look it's a group of Grade 9B lasses, Running home to be back for classes. At three minutes to one the lates ones come But they don't look as if they're having much fun For they have eaten their dinner too quick And now they will be most dreadfully sick. When the bell goes at three-thirty, Out they go in a great hurry Everyoneis grabbing their coats and skates For no one wishes to be late. Then down they go to the good old rink, In and out through every link. Co the laces in a scurry For everyone is in a hurry. And soon they all go on the ice, Around they skate once or twice, Then down they sit their skates to tighten. Before their coloured skirts they whiten. The old bell rings once, twice And everyone hurries off the ice. Off go the boots as fast as they'll untie. Skates over shoulder, then home the girls fly. -JEAN STROH IYIAUREEN THUR DETENTION Where is it that, when school is o'er Some pupils, pihaps a score or more Sit till the clock strikes half-past four? Detention. If you a little late arrive, Your spirits surely don't revive, W'hen Mr. Currie says '6Stay till fivef' Detention. What is it that some people hate When getting it for being late? It spoils a chance to go and skate, Detention. What is it that some pupils skip, Or some, perhaps, just let it slip, But always get an extra trip, Detention. -ISABEL Coorlza, X Fred: 'There is a certain reason why I like you.', Betty Vice: My Goodness! Fred: Don't kid yourself. , Mr. Hardy: What effect has the moon on the tide?', P. I. Morris: None, only the untied are affected.
