if ARA 1-Us! A Charles had been out for the evening with his best girl. When he arrived home he found his father sitting up. The old man looked up and shook his head. f'Hae you been oot with yon lassie again? he asked. Sure, dad, replied Chuck, Why the worried look? I was just wondering how much the evening cost. Oh, no more than half a buck dad, that was all she had. vlsisvk WO, THE DAY, YEA! WO THE HOUR When we find Margoles wearing a neck- tie. When Willard drives anything but a Ford faeroplanes excludedl. - When we find Dawson, the man who made Preston juniors known, in the play-offs. Or when members of the Hi-Y Club are able to get into classes at 1.31, after a meeting, without late passes. PARA TUS ii Mr. Hamilton- It has been said, Dorc- thy, that there is very little difference be- tween cooking and chemistry. Then where is the great resemblance ? Miss French Qand then on fleet wings the inspiration camel- When one egg, not necessarily an extra or even a first, long having remained in the aqueous solu- tion of sodium sylicate, is precipitate to the congoleum, an odour is produced not in the least unlike that of hydrogen sul- phide. And it is that very same Dorothy who wonders, if, after taking liquid air, one would have to bother breathing. :Fig And Dawson feels flattered when the Scotch rugby fan yells get that quarter back. , - ik Pk :Ig JESS WILLARD'S MOTTO Don't sit down in the meadow and wait for the cow to back up to be milked--go after the cow! 4A Form News The first number on the social pro- gram of 4A was a Weiner roast, held at Ross Chapman's, quite early in the year. The form left the school in small groups, the more fortunate ones riding. After choosing two teams we played ball till it grew too dark to see Betty's fast balls and then adjourned to a nearby woods where a great fire of stumps was built. Here games were played until the hot dogs and coffee were served, followed by marshmallows and pie. As the fire died down we Went to the house, where the games were resumed. On the whole the evening was a decided success. 345513 On Friday, December the twelfth, nine- teen hundred and thirty, Form 4A met at the Curling Rink for our second class party. The ice was in fairly good con- dition and if the posts had not been so close together we would have had a per- fect night. We were accompanied by Miss Carter, Mr. Challen, and Mr. McLennan. When everyone had skated as much as he or she wished we abandoned the curling rink for a new source of entertainment. Refreshments were served at Palmer's and the 4A appetites bore witness to the taste of the lunch. Before going home a little singing was tried, with Tait as choir leader. We got as far as, Three Blind Mice. Then we said, Au Revoir, and packed our memories of 4A's skating party away till another time. 84 THE 'WITCHES' CHANT Round about the cauldron go, Mathematics you must know, Let 'X' equal the cold stone- When will 'Y' be thirty-one?

Plffiffk Mr. MacLennan fin latin classj- Can anyone give me the derivation of the word auditorium ? Lorne Phillips- Yes sir. From audio, meaning hear, and taurus, meaning bull. Mr. MacLennan- That will do. vlfvkg Mr. Hamilton- What is the most out- standing contribution chemistry has made to the world? Jim Anderson fgazing intently at Doris Wilfongl- Blondes This year, 4A had only two players on the junior rugby team:-Ross Chapman and Jimmie Tait. Probably that was the reason that the team did not make a better showing. blfvkgg NEWS FLASH On New Year's eve., Gladys Wildman was unfortunate enough to faint in a local night club. The proprietor had to wait thirty-five minutes till water could be brought from Ayr to revive her. A goat ate all our other jokes And then began to run. I cannot stop, he softly said, I am so full of fun. -J. M. Sz E. H. 4B THE SAD FATE OF CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS The other day, June 32, 1603, Christo- pher Columbus fnot the Arctic explorerl, who spent a week in Preston last Sunday at the home of his sister-in-law's brother, was suddenly attacked in the van by Cannibals, in one of the dark alleys of that city. As has been mentioned above Christo- pher, as he is sometimes called, was foully placed in a tail-spin by barbarous Preston onions. But he bravely drew his derringer and stabbed the foremost of Caesar's flatfeetg but he was finally forced to bale out in a parachute when his horse was shot from under him. Chris., as he is sometimes called, tried to make a get-away, using two Austinettes for roller-skates, but forgot his shoe horn and was overtaken and tripped by Caesar, leader of the brigands on a tricycle. There ensued a violent argument, in which Col., as he is sometimes called-maintained that Latin should not be taught in High School and Caes. agreed that it should. The. Specula Galtonia begs to inform you that with regard to your letter of the 15th inst, Columb.-as he is sometimes called, carried the ayes in the dispute, who sig- nified in the most unusual manner. Now if you three listeners will stay awhile we will continue with Act. 3, Scene 4: Caesar became vexed at this so he seized Bus.-as he is sometimes called- and attempted to plant him in a sewer but it was too small. After rolling in the gutter for a while Lumb.-as 'he is sometimes called-got up and nonchalant- ly lighting a Murad proceeded to dust 86 the dusty dust off his coat, then said in a deep voice: Unhand me varlet, but Julius thought otherwise and said, I ain't gonna do it. His tribunes then seized Stopher-as he is sometimes called-and carried him in pieces to the enemy's dug- out. Here Caesar and his first mate de- cided upon torture. Top-as he is some- times called fofr short-wqas then rbi-ed down and the radio was tuned to where Rudy Fraser and his Collegiate Synco- pators were playing the Stein Song. Poor Columbus lasted- for exactly 15 min- utes and 42125 seconds, when the agony becoming too great his mind gave way completely and when Caeser entered he was playing You're Driving Me Crazy on a Jew's Harp. The last heard of hapless Christopher he was living quietly in Hamilton and eating Alphabet soup every day so that he could become a man of letters. Pk Dk Pk Mr. MacLennan- Can you tell me a thing of importance that did not exist 100 years ago? MacDonald-NME. Pkvkvk WHERE'S EATON Thompson4 If the ice is as thick as he thinks it is-he's skating, and if it's as thin as I think it is he's swimming. rkflfvk THE LUCKLESS HUNTER The hunter had but little luck, For he was out to shoot a buck. He shot a farmer's cow instead. Worth fifty bucks, the farmer said. -With apologies to Bill Richmond
