I ol Grade 13 In the year 1943 A.D. we, the stu- dents of Grade 13 of the E.H.S., do hereby give and bequeath: 1. The Gratifying experience of standing in the last row in assembly. 2. The Right to enjoy classes under our principal and form teacher who will guide you on the straight and narrow path. 3. The Alarming sense of panic in the face of Departmentals. 4. The Difficulty of doing sulticient homework to please all the teachers. 5. The Eternal sleepy feeling on a Monday morning. 6. The Tact with which to escape the discovery of a lesson not learned. 7. The Honour of tenderly caring for and building up the morale of the teachers whose nerves have been shatter- ed by our noisy form. 8. The Incredible speed with which we arrived for our various classes. 9. The Reassuring grin on our happy faces as we attempted to restore our teacher's equilibrium. 10. The Tireless efforts of chewing gum without being noticed. 11. The Eager spirit of rivalry which predominated throughout the whole series of basketball games during which the Grade 13 girls won every game. f?J 12. The Efforts of the overworked students to maintain their social and their class standing. 13. The Numerous excuses to refrain from making posters, cleaning sinks, doing homework, etc. Gan you see Misses Axford and Evans patiently enduring our uwanderingn boys during Trig. and French periods? Will Miss Evans eventually buy a wheel-barrow for Bruce Ruppel? Is basting a turkey sewing up the stuiiings? Ask Stewart Huehnl Why do all our boys in the Services come home the same week-end? Surely their oflicers realize that this arrange- ment makes it embarrassing for. certain girls in Grade 13. What does C.C.C. stand for, Glenn? Howard Good- I wonder what would happen if I mixed HZSO4, C,,H35C00H, KMn04, and maybe just a drop of HCL? . . . Well, what did happen, Howard? Grade 13 student fduring Trig. examl -When a question says do without tables does it mean formulae, for just tables not formulae, or just formulae not tables, or does it mean use both? Well, Ian? .l. The New Deal Girl A real estate man was trying to sell a modern girl a house. Here is the reply she gave him: A home? Why do I need a home? I was born in a hospital, educated in a college, courted in an automobile, and married in a church. I live out of a delicatessen and paper bags, I spend my mornings on a golf course, my afternoons at a bridge table, and my evenings at the movies, and when I die I am going to be buried from the under- taker's. All I need is a garage.

50 g THE ORACLE Commercial We Wonder Why . . . . . . Helen Roberts likes boarding in town. Maybe there's some attraction. Maybe it's the Link Belt. Who knows? . . . Willard Martin likes going to shows alone. Maybe he doesn't come back alone. . . . Alice Gies doesn't like talking in the room. Maybe it's because she al- ways thought she was getting the mumps. . . . Harold Bitter always sat at the back of the room. Could it be that he was rather shy because of the girls at the front? . . . Marion Pirie likes speaking louder than the rest of the little dears . Could it be she's trying to get in well with the teacher? . . . Lloyd Mulholland never wanted to go advertising to Kitchener alone. Could it be he wanted one of his female advertisers to go with him? . . . LaVerne could never make up his mind to take one girl to a show instead of three. Could it be he liked them all? . . . George Snider was always hot when we were freezing. Was it because h-e always wore about a dozen sweaters? . . . Robert Ruggle left school at Christmas to work in his dad,s store. Was it only help shortage? . . . Stan Deckert changed his direction to Kitchener instead of Hesson.' Could it be the roads are better or did he get tired of walking? . . . Betty Schummer might change her mind about going down to the fruit country. It couldn't be because some- one has left that district, or could it? ? ? . . . Gloria Long rumples Stan's hair every time she gets a chance. Maybe it is the name Stan , . . . Lillian Paine changed from Grade XI to Com. She must think it's easier to type letters than to write them. . . . Mildred Weigel likes typing period better than any other period. Could it be she sits nearer a certain person than at any other time? . '. . Isabel Cooper doesn't mind going on to Linwood at nights instead of get- ting off at Maeton. Could it be she likes the car ride????? . . . Miss Boland never gets the names of her little Commercial dears straight. Of the above list, there are Harold Ritter, LaVerne Wittich, Robert Ruggle, George Snider, and Willard Martin, who have left our Commercial. We all wish them the best of luck. -HELEN ROBERTS BETTY SCHUMMER ISABEL COOPER ' 0 Relcharcls The Store with 'a Complete Stock of GENERAL DRY GOODS AND GROCERIES d V We Appreciate Your Patronage ' F Get -it - at - Reichards' PHONE 307 ELMIRA
