C ’cst lo meiHour petit gateau quo j ' aio jamais mangt , said Hiss Davidson. (Tr. - AGAHH!) 11 Or dor, order! shouted the warden. We have mro complaints to look int ' . GARY - GURBIN and GREG JOHNSTON wi 3 h the sell 1 would provide more Science Fiction b ks (eg. I was a Tonnage Rattlesnake ) in order to pursue their chosen careers. Horo ' s a boy with a suggestion: RUDY DERKSEA has solved the mystery of whether or not tho poet of a controversial sonnet was optimistic or pessimistic. NeitherJ ho was just disgusted. That ' s why he quit after fourteen linos. JEAN MACDONALD has partly solved her largo problem of to majiy spares by joining Special Commercial in Typing and Shorthand. Only trouble is now she has to ' many subjects. All LEONARD TURTOH wants is life, liberty, and pursuit of vrMtion (especially a cute little brunette at Patterson). The whole class fools it has a problem with RICHARD CARDER and his corny brand of wit. I resent that! interrupted Mr. Sotoros. I don ' t think anybody tolls cornier j kos than I do and I have f urtcon botany students who ' 11 prove it. Well, hero are tw - shot puts, offered Mr. Langford. You can fight it out between you. Here’s an thor complaint, said the Warden. BESSIE TURNER wl os that Hiss Latimer wouldn ' t take suaij delight in the s-und of cracking bones. It reminds her that next year she will be in training and she wants only pleasant memories of dead bodies. Karon Baltzor would like a flck of young victims on which to prac¬ tise the barbaric teaching moth ds which she feels have been inflicted on Jior. CLEM GAGNON wuld like t; protest against tho classmates who insist on congratulating him on his lucky choice after a c uplo days ' absence. JEAN TULLY would appraciato a rovision of tho rules which forbid a student to play basketball unless she passes at least one subject. Jean is simply pining away for this lost love f hors. ' The final request is from the C. F. I. F. ?. who would like a ho ' la-hc p shop right on tho school grounds so they wouldn ' t have to’ travel all ever tho country looking for the things. Good grief! They ' re tho ones wh should be locked up in this escape-proof cell, n ' t us. I move the mooting be adjourned, 3 aid Mr. Langford. (Don ' t forget tho Bermuda Shorts!)

76. •JANE and MURRAY each have $50 to prove their academic success and account for their sudden popularity. (Just kidding.) BARB ZAKOW has discovered that ketchup (or was it blood?) makes H amlet more digcstable. MARY MCLENNAN has partially succeeded in persuading Bev that the conti¬ nental look is to be avoided by setting a good example. As the only girl attending Western next year, she is automatically our arch-enemy. VERN REDMOND has succeeded admirably in concealing his past. V onder why? JANE DSGROOT deserves a medal for the enthusiasm with which she attacks the dissection of worms, frogs, fish, etc. It is popular opinion that Jane should be directing her talents toward a career in surgery. —Margaret Butcher 1 BACK ROW: THIRD ROW: SEC0:T) ROW : FRONT ROW : Jim Douglas, elvin Mills, Greg Johnston, Gary Wright, John Thomas, Shannon Olson, Gary Gurbin, Murray Trimble, Ron Watt.

GETTING INTO MISCHIEF ..ro you talented enough to get into mischief? If you are not, you will have to cultivate your mind. With hour? of long study, you may eventually become an expert. Your first question may be, ”How do I cultivate my mind?” The answer is simple, my fri ' end, just re-lax and concentrate. . k fter the teacher goes by and you can slouch down in your seat again, ask yourself why she is walking up that aisle. The simple answer is found in the paper aeroplane you are hiding under your desk. Why not throw it at Bob who is at the other side of the room? If you don ' t get some excite¬ ment out of that, try it again. Tacks are necessary as a part of developing your mind. Try setting a tack on the teacher s chair. This always gets a bang, especially from a slim teacher. Just ' because it doesn’t work on, shall we say, pleasantly plump teachers don’t give up, just try a longer tack.
