Could it be that Donald Huehn has lost his sense of balance in French class, or that he just wants Miss Evans to tell him to use his feet? Although Helen Voll is one of the quietest members of our class, when examinations roll around, Helen is able to give a very good account of herself. We wonder why Betty Bechthold has so many friends . . . could it be be- cause she always has her homework done? You will find Ruth Mulholland with her ever-faithful friend, Marg. Bru- bacher, trying to figure out geometry questions or Latin sentences. Wlhen Alice is not busy writing very explicit history notes, she is usually having a great joke with Mary or Helen. Twenty years from now when Len owns '6The Vlfhite Grocery? he will probably have a department to clean the glasses of his female customers. Ross never lets any details pass by in a history period. Could it be that he is planning to be a professor of history or a politician? Everyone knows and likes Beverly Shurly. She's the girl in Grade XII who likes to help out with school under- takings whenever help is needed. Her future? If she decides on a career she'll probably be a dress designer. SLIPSTREAM FROM GRADE 10B Bob Weber, lack Moyer-We hear that the Stamp Collecting Firm of Weber, Moyer and Co. is in operation and ready for business. Ken Klinlcman - We hear that, Ken Klinkman is going to be a Latin Pro- fessor. Tch! Teh! lolz-n Heinbnch-We wonder why Jolm is so naughty in school. ls it be- cause he wishes to attract the teacher's attention or the attention of a young lady across the aisle? 1 Clayton H ahn-We wish that Clayton would pick at least one girl from the one hundred or so in E.H.S. Glen Gable-Surely Glen isn't upset just because the boys were separated 54 from the girls in English, geography and history. We don't think there's any practical reason. Austin Snyder-Could it be that Aus- tin got 0 on his math. note book just because he had math. on one side, English on the next, and then Defence? Jack Allgeier-Quoting Jack, 4'Hy, Joe, gimmie your Latin, eh?,, Bob Roe-Is it true that Bob enjoyed himself at the Weiner roast? Could be, could bel Paul Schmchl-We are certainly glad Paul is instrumental in keeping the attendance sheet clear of detentions, especially in Defence. Dave Steele -- We wonder why Dave doesn't change his mind about Air Cadets after footing those few odd miles from St. Jacobs to Elmira in the wee hours of the night. George Lee-We wonder why '6Duke, the Gallant Air Cadet can't lick up on G. Jupp once. George fupp-Take it easy, Georgeg you might beat up on Duke once too often. T om Galley-A rumor tells us that Miss Evans is still teaching Tom the French verb Maller . Ken Israel-The only reason we can think of that Ken is with us this year is that he didn't like his old classmates. lim Miller-We wonder why Jim doesn't get more detentions. Could it be he carries the attendance sheet and has the advantage of erasing his name? Grant Pirie-We hear that Grant's only hope lies in the Ag. examination that will include livestock and nothing else. Paul Campbell-We sincerely wish that Paul would engage in some other occupation than pulling people's ties. Don Henrich - We wonder what would happen if Donald, a St. Jacobs pupil, would be late. ' Bill W hittaker-We are sorry to say Bill has left Gr. 10B and is now going to the collegiate in Kitchener. We all wish him success. And three cheers for Miss Harper, our form teacher.

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
