GRADE XIII - En Francais Grade XIII est une model class, No other dans l'ecole will jamais surpass. Nous sommes quiet as mice and bons as gold, -Of course there are times when teachers will scold. Murray's the lad with the eyes of blue- 'lfoutes les jeunes iilles l'aiment beaucoup. Vivian toujours tries to keep peace Je pense que her work will never cease. Poor Marge has lost so many a coke That it has become now quite a joke. John even jumped out of our fenetre-- Did he get the coke? 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. A shining example is notre Albert , In all his dealings he's fair and square. Stewart veut etre un medecin- Knowing him, we are sure he can. 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? On this we'll make l'histoire breve Parce que his homework is often not done- L'auto, you see, is alot of fun.

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.

GRADE XIII Will we ever forget . . . The agony of dashing up the hall at 8.54 attempting to reach our seats be- fore the 8.55 bell rang? The littlef?l boy who was so afraid of the bigC?J girl with the glint in her eye, that he ran to hide behind his teacher's chair? Those two report cards that had such a time finding their way back to Miss Axf0rd's desk? 'The weiner roast when Marge tried driving Murray's car forward while it was in reverse gear? Dorf's learning to play ulntermezzon? Our outstanding hockey players? Those gruesome Zoology classes and HTek's famous June Beetle? That horrible week before the dance when the whole class worried about Margels and Dorfls dresses? The strange smells issuing from the lab. every time Gr. XIII got in it? Trying to talk so that Gr. IX across the hall could hear us. Viv's inborn love for basketball? The day Alice was playing and the boys were singing Pistol Packing Mamma? in our room when Mr. Currie walked in? . Ur that time Mr. Currie was sick and Rye made H25 and the rest of the school became our bitter enemies? Ross trying to beat the bell, only to find that he is thirty seconds late? Ralph and Eddie singing their theme song? The remarks put on our place cards atethe party and Miss Axford's good nature 'at a certain accusation? The eternal feud between Marge and the boysw? The film wasted on taking 'Ggradv pictures? W. C. BROWN TAI LOR ELMIRA ONTARIO GRADE XII ITEMS Ruth Klinck-Although Ruth is leav- ing us next year, we won't forget her co-operation and good sportsmanship which brought honours to Grade XII. We hear Rolly is working in Klinck's watch repair and jewellery storeg per- haps itls seeing so many watches and clocks that makes him come in at 1.15 instead of the set I p.m. on skating days. Let's visit Rita ten years hence. There she is in the little red school house scolding little ,lohnnys and trying to teach little Marys their ABC,s. We wonder if she thinks of us any more. Is the fact that Mary Woznuk has relatives in the Industrial City the only reason why we see her on the bus so much? In athletics, ,lohn Arnold excels. Could it be with his swift feet he has gotten his Bev? Ten years hence: John Arnold, Olympia, Greece. Are the tires on Cliilordis school bus really poor, or could it be that he likes missing English classes? Esther Soehner, whose shorn locks we admire, will go down in E.H.S. history as the best basket-getteri' on Grade XII's team. Could it be that uKay7' Kalbfleisch laughs because she really thinks that something is funny, or to attract Lennie's', attention? Are Thelma Uberig and Kersanta Lipnicki still recovering from the shock they received in the Dodge the night of the sleigh ride? Margaret Brubacher puts us all to shame with her knowledge of chemistry. Can it be the extra teaching by Nauga- tuck Chemicals or are we morons? Betty Vice will likely join the W.A.A.F. in ma few years, having had so many experiences in the uaeroplanen. Walter Metzger, having completed his fourth year, has returned to the 4'Square 50 and his egg-grading machine. ' 58
