FORM I-B What are so rare as brains in I-B. ' 1 Here and there are signs of some. Our teachers labour results to see. But some way or other they fail to come. When we think we arc not dumb. Mr. Hall calls us another 1-D. While we can do most any sum. I think we ' re doing justice to I-B. We can depend on Hilda or Frank To answer up when the rest are slow. Our brains are young, and life is fun: Cheer up everyone, the nuts will grow! —Francis Cohoe COMMERCIAL FORM NEWS The commercial students are so bright. They do their homework every night. They come each day with shining faces. Assembly finds them in their places. When general fo lks have work to do. They come to us to help them through: Typing exams, and studying Law. We ' re the busiest It you ever saw. In the Lyceum we do our part. We always did. right from the start. On Field Day we all did our shares. And helped to win the cup downstairs. As for athletes. I1I-C is best: Any of us can stand the test. But when P.C. period comes around. The IV boys cannot be found. Writing poetry Oh! what fun: Can you beat us. ANYONE.’ Even though it doesn ' t ryhme. It passes away our spare time. —Ray Sweet and Orlin Fox “ITS A POEM” I-A is made of funny guys. Some are funny, some are wise. Some are smart and some are dumb. To visit them now with me come. See Roger seated over thesre.’ He ' s known as our questionnaire. Bertha Belcher is our vamp, Albert Humber is our scamp. Our little cutie is Maurica Weir. Our brilliant student is Isabella Near. In basketball Erce holds his place. And saves his form from great dis¬ grace. George Lefebvre is our smartest lad. What he doesn ' t know is just too bad. Billy Linton is our weeper, Murray Kennedy is our sleeper. Charles Benson is our shiek, He has a new belle every week. Now to the finish we have come. We hope you ' ve enjoyed our little fun. —Ruth Keane III FORM Again the year is almost ended. And again Third Form lives down: We know some students are mended. For they carry a terrible frown: And now as a holiday approaches. Ttehy put away their groans and cares. But still some are very atrocious. And think nothing of lessons or fares: On a whole. Third Form is brilliant In studies and in athletics: At basketball they are jubilant. And some even enjoy the classics. And now since my news is all told. And I am growing weary: To those who are seeking a new abode. Do not forget Third Form is so cheery. —Helen Newman YE OLD SCEOND FORM The Essex High, the school of schools Where students are many and few are fools. Each form is noted for some particular thing: In Commercial they have some peo¬ ple that sing. The worst of these to which I refer Is called Two A where is always a stir. As Ed. and Wid. and Bud. and Bill Chuckle and laugh over some recent thrill.
