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!

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.

CZB Our quartette of male singers hold their daily practice in the form room any time the teachers are out. During Miss Mus- grove's illness more practice than usual was afforded. Mr. Boyd, however, did not enjoy the program, and on several occa- sions rudely interrupted in the middle of a song. ANNOUNCEMENT 2 The debate, Resolved that Galt is a much better place to live in than Preston, was quite naturally Won by the affirmative. The real debate, however, was carried on in the lunch room, and ended in a fight-. CIA We're looking up, to see if you Are looking down to see if we Are looking up to see what you Fifth formers think of us. We wonder if your wondering What we're Wondering in fust Or wonder if there's wondering And all this wondering's just. We think, you think, that we must think You're very old to-day, Perhaps you think First formers think To think is but to play. We hope you're hoping that the hopes We're hoping now for you, Will keep you hoping each good hope 'Till every hope comes true. fEd. Note- Thanks.
