THE ORACLE sr PRICE WEATHER Time lost from e w S J, N e w S Next term promises 9-12 a.m. and 10 be St0fmY- 1130.4 p.m. Class rises at 9 a.m., sets at 4 p.m. Grade XII Suteadily Pushing Onward GENERAL HUEHN ' ADVANCING AGAINST LATIN Although he has had many reverses during the past term, there is now a definite turn for the better. General Stew- art Huehn has hopes of con- quering the foe by Easter. His greatest foes- The Acc. 81 Inf. and the Sub.-Obl. Clauses -now are almost totally vanquished. He has crossed the Alps and by now is pushing into the very heart of Italy. Soon he will enter the secondary sequence in which his purpose is to over- come the gerund and other forces. WAR SAVINGS STAMPS The War Savings drive under the capable cashier, Arthur Buck Weichel, is prospering. Grade XII has a great many stars-each star standing for a certificate-of which it can be proud. Every single stamp will help to give Hitler a kick in the pants. So keep on Gr. Xllg show the world we can do our bit! DOWNFALL OF CHICK- RAISING INDUSTRY In these days of strain and strife, hatching chicks are treated with little care. They are the back-bone of the egg industry, without them, we would be eggless. If all hatch- ing chicks are handled like a certain one in the Agriculture Class, we will soon see the era in which chickens are extinct. Miss Cruickshank: Class, I am tempted to give you a French test! Ralph Brubacker fin a low voicelz Yield not to tempta- tion. I GREAT MENTAL INCREASE During the last year, Grade XII has acquired much in- telligence. There is not a single being in the whole form who could not go up to King Solomon and match wits. An excellent example of this can be taken from the Christmas examinations where not one person failed in English- Imagine that!-English being one of the most difhcult sub- jects. Then too, their progress in Chemistry must not be overlooked. Their ability to obtain unheard-of substances from a given solution is truly amazing. They are almost capable of putting Einstein and Boyle to shame. Certainly if they are not more careful they will wake up and find themselves successful chem- ists. Some people are born with a silver spoon in their mouths. At any rate, some people are just plain lucky like our St. Jacobs lad, Howard Good, who got out of school for no reason whatsoever except that he might have had scarlet fever. We thought of going to St. Jacobs ourselves. Well, folks, that's all until next year. Au revoir. Mr. Currie: Find the com- mon denominator, Mabel. Mabel Bolger: Is that thing lost again?', Miss MacVicar, to Wayne Pettie: Put this in more mature, effective language- 'I see the cow. Isn't she pretty? Look at her run'. Wayne Pettie: Lamp de cow. Ain't she a beaut? and Lady, how she can step. GRADE XII TATTLER Good evening, folks! This is your Newsy News reporter reportin' right at you. So pull up a chair and listen closely. Your news hound has found out from a very reliable source that Gr. XII has an up-an'- coming milkman in Glenn Watson. No doubt, we will all get our milk free, if and when we start housekeeping. We wonder if you've heard about the firebell that rang in Grade XII's ears. Well, it was rather embarrassing to leave a perfectly good geometry class, rush down the stairs at break- neck speed, and land out in the cold, cold world to find that not only was the school not in flames, but everyone else leading a normal life in- side of it. Need I tell' you about the way Grade XlI's illustrious gang slunk up the stairs, inwardly cursing the guy who was tampering with the bell. And, of course we couldn't ever forget the marvellous time we had at Conestoga when Mr. and Mrs. Huehn so graciously opened their home to us. After a grand hike we all trooped into the house where Mrs. Huehn had a de- licious meal prepared for us. And although Miss MacVicar was missed on the hike, we did enjoy her company at the table. Thanks again, Mr. and Mrs. Huehn. Here is something new and different, we hope. Did you know that three of our bril- liant boys joined the Scots Fusiliers? Ralph B., Glenn W., and Wayne P. carry on their work at Kitchener twice a week. Nice going, kids- it really shows that you are True Blue!

FLoYn HENRICH-FlOyd absent-mind edly wandered over to the boy's side of the lab twice this week.

CONNIE DILLON--Connie reports that her persistent week-end visitor will be in town again next week-end. MARIE SIMMONS-IS Marie really worried about the lack of mail from Walkerton? EVELYN DOHERTY-We wonder why Mr. Arthur Weichel has decided to go on a farm in the Elmira vicinity this summer. Could you tell us, Evelyn?

MARIE NIACALPINE--Did Marie really stay in doing her home-work every night while her parents were away. If not, why not? THELMA ZI1-:GLER-Does Thelma know the way to school alone? It appears as though she doesn't. MARIE JORDAN--If Marie had been with us more often we're sure we'd have had quite a write-up. -Third F orm Mud-Slingers CAMPBELL' S GARAGE Radiators - Batteries Magnetos General Auto Repairing PHONE 478 ELMIRA ONTARIO -
