58 GORDON BELL HIGH SCHOOL Women were made before mirrors —they’ve been before them ever since. “Your Hugh must be the ‘idol’ of the family.” “You said it,” snorted Mr. Haw¬ kins in disgust. When a woman’s in love she thinks there is no other man in the world— When a man’s in love he thinks the same thing. Reverend “Snowball” Rieth—“And de wicked shall be whirled into ut- tah dahkness foheveah mo’.” Brother “Eightball” Jackson — “Whirled widout end—Amen.” If it’s possible, it’s done; if it’s im¬ possible—let’s do it. Mrs. Colquhoun—“What were you doing at school today, Donald?” Don—“We had a swell time, shoot¬ ing craps all day.” Mrs. C.—“Now, Donald, I want you to stop shooting those poor little craps, you know they want to live just as much as you do.” Edelstein—“I have a new baby brother.” York—“Is he going to stay?” Edelstein—“I guess so, he’s got all his things off.” Miss Groelle—“What does ‘pas de tout’ mean?” -“Father of twins.” It is when we forget ourselves that we do things that are remem¬ bered. Dot—“Gee that one-step made me dizzy, I gotta sit down.” Jim—“There’s a swell bench at the foot of the garden.” Dot—“Thanks a lot, but I’m not so dizzy as all that.” Old Acquaintance — “Hello, Mr. Simms. Who are you working for Mr. Sims—“Same old bunch, wife ’n two kids.” Gallant (eagerly)—“May I come, too?” Kay—“You’ll never come to, un¬ conscious.” Blessed are the homesick—for they shall go home. There is only one thing that I can think of that is more harmful than drink—thirst. Mr. Gow is only a high school chemist but he sure has some hot retorts. Flirtation is paying attention with¬ out intention. Mr. Fyles is only a History teacher but he sure knows his dates. Mr. MacIntyre is only an Algebra teacher but he sure knows his fig¬ ures.

GORDON BELL HIGH SCHOOL 57 G | THE GRADUATES B | What About The Graduates ? TTELLO, Gordon Bell! Here we are again! The same old enthusiastic gang. And if you think we’re less enthusiastic about Gordon Bell affairs than we were last year, you’re badly mistaken. This year, old students have shown a remarkable interest in the proceedings of their old Alma Mater. Our main line of endeavor has taken the course of dramatic activities, and so this page will be devoted mainly to the progress of the Gordon Bell Dramatic Society. The idea of forming a club for dramatics was conceived by Mr. G. E. Snider. Accordingly, organization was brought about and the club held its first meeting in the fall. At this meeting officers were elected and plans for the further functioning of the club were discussed. The officers elected were: President, Edgar Markwart, one of the hardest and most diligent workers I have ever had the pleasure of meeting; Treasurer, Charlie Veysey, who can sell anything to anybody; Secretary, “Minnow” Green, who was forced to re¬ sign because of business worries—his place was taken by David Goldstein; finally, our indispensable assistants were Georgene Findlay and Sybil Zeal. No doubt you have guessed by this time who our Honorary President is—Mr. Snider; and take a tip from me, elect him to the same position next year. His aid is invaluable. Having dispensed with the preliminaries, both of this article and of our club activities, I shall tell you something of the actual productions of our aspiring members. Two plays, produced and directed entirely by Gordon Bell Grads, were presented at each meeting. There was a noticeable improvement from one meeting to another in the high standard of presentation. Just to give an idea of the type of work the club is doing, these were some of the plays—“Ghost Story,” “Florist Shop,” “Grand Cam’s Diamond,” “Trifles,” “Blue Pitcher,” the variety of which efforts speaks well for the versatility of our members. At one of the later meetings, “Valiant,” a drama, was produced. Professor Jones, in his criticism, praised the remarkable work of director and actors. All agreed with him that this was the outstanding effort of the year. As a fitting climax to an enjoyable and successful season we presented a dramatic evening at which our guest cast of Little Theatre Players, under the direction of Mrs. A. O. Smith, presented the “Blue Pitcher,” which had been entered in the drama festival. The Grads also presented two plays, and the school or chestra entertained a large audience of students, grads and visitors. Of course, you all know that “Milestones” was jointly produced by the school and the graduates—naturally our main undertaking for the year. It was indeed gratifying to see how the graduates enthusiastically co-operated in making this venture the success it was. It is the sincere wish of the graduates that this worthy work will be carried on with even greater enthusiasm by the Grads of Class ’34. Congratu¬ lations, Grads, and best of luck for next year!
