Form IV B One night the IV B Form mistress was dreaming of her class of angels when suddenly all their sparkling halos turned to little white horns, not the really bad horns, just the mis- chievious kind. Here are some of the things IV B were doing instead of writing their last exam. The Form captain, Margaret Laidler, was practically falling out of her chair reaching for the pencil sharpener. Behind her Cathy Mc- Ilraith was trying to munch her peanuts quietly while Elsa Frayne was adjusting the Venetian blind and busily braiding the cord. On the Lower IV B side of the room, Wendy Cromar seemed to be solving problems by exercising her snap-back pencil. Judy Reid was having trouble reading the mystery book on her lap with one eye on the teacher. Sisser Bunch had again forgotten her glasses and was creeping up to the board to see what the exam questions asked. Sandra Comstock, the only boarder, was being very secretive behind her loose-leaf binder. In the front seat of the next row. Sheila MacTavish was trying for marks by designing a new time-table. Behind her, Rita Browning was twirling her pencil like a baton while Margot Toller, the Assistant Form Captain, was setting back her watch hoping for more time. Georgia Gale was feeling artistic and was doing an inky finger painting on her exam. On the far side of the room, Marjorie Feller was creating a new hair style, much to the interest of Sarah Price who was making elaborate fiourishes on her paper just trying to make her pen work. Writing exams seemed to be making Helen Heighington hungry for she was chewing her new eraser. Back in the far corner, Johanne Forbes was frantically scanning the map of Europe in search of Ot- tawa. Five members of the form weren ' t among the fallen angels, for Susanne Book, Cristina Plate, Brenda Saunders, Ann and Judy Scharf had left for various other parts of the world. Suddenly iMiss MacCallum awoke, hoping that her class didn ' t really have the white horns! Form IV C Nine little girls were in Form IV C Nine little girls, as happy as could be. Then, one fine day, sad to relate, Lindsay went away and then there were eight. Eight little girls learned 6 times eleven ,— Then A-larta left, and so there were seven. Seven little girls, full of funny tricks, Sisser went to IV B, and then there were six. Six little girls, as busy as can be— ( ' Tis said they ' r e working very well in Form IV C). Angelica, Teresa, and Anne, Elizabeth, Caroline, Jane,— These are the six, The jolly little six, The happy little six, That remain with Miss Shand. Forms II and III Grades III and IV— they are busy all day. They do lots of work but there ' s still time for play. Roxie on skates smoothly glides o ' er the ice, Alex made a basket which looks very nice, Audrey ' s improving her reading a lot, Antonia ' s the only boarder we ' ve got; Debbie is always qijick changing for gym, Cynthia lustily joins in each hymn;
