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
