Mills- Yeah, off. The Future of 1D Let us dip into the future, far as human eye can see, and draw ourselves a picture, of some pupils, in 1D. Pl: Pk :lf Let us start on our friend Slater Whose gallantry we know, Will win him great distinction, Whe1'ever he may go. That great master musician, Known on land and sea, Was no other than Muriel Story- When she started in 1D. Marie Shantz is now a doctor, Helen Sohrt a pretty nurse, Margaret Wood is giving lectures To put down the liquor curse. Now, the world needs master artists: So why not turn some fame, To the little town of Preston, Where Fred Weiberg won his name. Now, Latin is a language That is considered dead, But when we hear Ruth Proctor, We find it's us that's dead. We must have a little music, Wherever shall we go? Why, to the Fraser Smith recital, In Massey Hall you know. And now a little song To cheer us on our way, So let us go to Underhill At Shea's Hippodrome to-day. Our souls now crave excitement To some comedian we go, And, lo, we find Tom Stuart, Head comedian of the show. Next We turn to aviation And, lo, behold, we find To guide our letters safely We must have the Ridsdale sign. Mr. Donaldson, our form teacher, Can justly be quite proud, For ID is filled with talent, Yet unknown to the crowd. M.R. vkvlfvk Winn, in Miss Ruddick's room, during the Algebra period.- May I put a ques- tion on the board '? Miss R.- Such childish tastes I thought it too much work for you. 114214214 ' A delightful Weiner roast was held by 1D at Woodbourn, Pres-ton. Games were played, followed by a lunch. To our dis- may it began to rain just as We were going home.

SPECULA GALTONIA 85 1B The members of form 1B had been re- quested to bring materials for the next art class. As the class got settled Fer- guson could be seen standing fearfully by Miss Fraser's desk. Well, what's the matter with you? in- quired Miss Fraser. I-I've swallowed my object, replied Ferguson timidly. A look of alarm spread over the teach- er's face. Swallowed your object. Merci- ful goodness, what was it ? In a small voice he replied- A banana. fResult-One week detentionj. Sirk NOTE TO TEACHER Dear Miss Redmond:- Kindly excuse Ford's absence yesterday. He fell in the mud. By doing the same you will greatly oblige his mother. 4. .v. .y. .,. .,. .,. Driving along the Gatineau Road, near Ottawa, one's attention is drawn to num- erous signs setting forth the wonders of La Cavernef' One day some friends and I were for- tunate enough to be able to visit this mar- vel of nature. Two pleasant young French- men named Roaul and Jacques, lived in a cottage near by and had charge of the cave. On entering we found it lighted by electricity which was supplied by a dyna- mo run by a gasoline engine. The sides glistened with the water which dripped continuously. There were many interest- ing stalagmites and stalacites to be seen. We descended a distance of one hundred feet, where we came upon what looked to be a miniature lake. It was so clear that the guide had to throw a match into it to prove it was water. When we got out we found ourselves looking down on a gem of a lake almost perfectly round. If any of you should be in the City of Ottawa do not fail to cross into the Prov- ince of Quebec and see this unique cave and lake. W. A. B. Davidson, 1B. lC There's a boy in our form named Bill Who passes exams with great skill. One quite the same Is a girl called Lorraine. But there are others who are not so dumb. And in this class the Margaret's run Who are doing better than t'hey've ever done. We have Pat Horsey in our form, too And she's not so dumb, believe me, you! But when the McGaws walk in I'm stuck, But it's no good anyway, is it? :Za :la :iz Miss Ruddick- What is one and one? Hubert- two, Miss Ruddick- What is two and one? Hubert- Shoe Polish. .g. .y. .s. .,. .,. .,. Bill Ireland- How old are you, Lor- raine? Lorraine- Why, I'm fifteen, Bill. Bill- Fifteen, why you told me you were fifteen three years ago. Lorraine- But you see I'm not one of those people that say one thing one day and another thing the next day. Bill Cto Margaret McGawJ- Do you know that life is a game of cards. Marg.- How is that ? Bill- When you're in love, its hearts. when you're engaged it's diamonds. When you're married it's clubs. When you're dead it's spades. 32 2k ik Miss Ruddick- It gives me great joy to see your shining faces before me this morning. Lorraine- Shining faces! Good grief, where's my powder puff? rlifkfii Miss Ruddick- Now the last question in the Latin examination was really too hard for you. So each pupil must add twenty marks to his total. Dorothy McGaw- Hurray, I've got twenty. :1: .,. rl: Jean Light fto Edna HodgkissJ- Kath- leen was telling me that Mills asked to see her home the other night. Edna- Oh! and what did she say. Jean- She said s'he'd send him a pic- ture of it.

SPECULA GALTONIA 87 Dept Editor: GERTRUDE WARD Anna being a Walker in the Parks Came upon a rose in full Blum. Along came a Miller No voice was ever shriller, Mae Wilson fwill soonD he said, be here. Away he leads her by the hand. Gib me that Rose he said, sincere But he called not Turner. Mercy, said Anna, you big cave- man. The sun's last ray is sinking And they soon disappear. R. H. Miss Weatherill is our form teacher. And s'he's staunch and true we must say, At the form party she played Bridge And lost every speck of her play. Mr. Boyd's chief delight Is to keep us in at night Learning lines for a play Every night we had to stay. Then came the play, About it we have little to say, But we are here to wish the rest Every possible success. P14 FF P? Mrs. Brandon is a new teacher And a wonderful singer is she. Just come without your homework done, And hear the song she'll sing for thee. For Mrs. Robinson we work hard At rapid calculation, We can add a row of figures That will fairly make you shiver, In fact, she says we're getting to be stars. Miss Pooke made an objection To our line in the hall So each one goes a different way And now We now have not lines at all. ?lC9l4?l4 Miss Musgrove rides in a brand new car, She's getting extra pay we hear, For putting up with the little dears In the form of Commercial 3. Our ambition, now is to behave So payments on the car are saved, Perhaps a little ride we'll snitch Before the car goes in the ditch. fEd. Note-And they call it poetry!
