i CFP L .' ronm NEWS , S I A COMMERCIAL In the year of 19444 ' I. Commercial numbered 24. And so we start with hope in flames To get the commercial students' names. Henry Sippel is a gallant lad, He likes to play but he's not very bad. Evelyn Brubacher is a hard-working girl, And according to Glenn, she's commercial's pearl Bernice, who always comes lirst in our class, Has set an example that none can surpass. Evelyn Shoemaker and Marion Pirie, Come in on the bus from West Montrose cheery. Now Glenn holds supreme at the back of the room And his thund'rous roar sounds like the trumpet of doom Phyllis, we all know, is pleasantly plump, But deep 'neath it all she's a regular trump. Over the aisle in the central back seat, Sit Dennis and Kay looking quiet and neat. And Jean at the top of the Specials Class, Has the name of a hard-working scholarly lass. Marie who seems always to work pretty hard, The class all agree is a regular card. Now Evelyn, from Mildmay, is jolly and gay, She's a studious girl though she does like to play. And Clara beside her is quite full of fun, She sure has a way, and I mean it, by gum! And Lillian, we know, will do wonderful work, Wherever she goes we know she won't shirk. Tom Kares, at the front, is an ,ambitious man, And he helps out his classmates whenever he can. Since Alice and Helen might leave us this year, We wish them good luck in their coming career. Now Dorothy, a whiz in Bookkeeping and Math, Sure sets the pace for the rest of the class. Lloyd and Carl at the back of the class, Have ways of their own with each pretty lass. Helma, we know, will go far in her way, Be the task what it may, it all comes in her day. Thelma we like for she's all sorts of fun, She's the spirit of life all mixed up in one. And Ruth, who is jolly and quite full of fun, Is the life of Commercial and can't be outdone. So come now, ye classmates, and shout loud and true Miss Boland, our teacher, is the best through and through' Now in parting, dear reader, I shall make one comment Yours truly's poor brain is hopelessly spent.

Well, peut-etrel ttAh , dit Miss Evans, '4Quelle abomination, Ross, c'est terrible--une simple question! Edward, pourquoi etes-vous fatique? A hockey game hier soir, I dare say.

History is Elmeras etude favoriteg In settling world problems he can't be beat. Don is quiet comme une souris Il ne fait jamais de bruit. Dorothy has un si turned-up nez We wonder how it got that way. Alice toujours fait ses devoirsg The rest of us get les regards noirs. Ralph has a Ford, or is itta Chev?
