ACTA NOSTRA, 1926 55 Anne Harper still has her long IFCSSCS. But yet she does not wear long dresses. She is modest and meek, sweet-tempered and nent. An all-round good sport and pleasant to meet. Short Hull is small as he can be. His height is only six foot three. The girls he always seemed to shun. But now he has found the .only one. Helen McDonald is an Acton maid. She sometimes has the train delayed. But as Davy's pet, that doesu't matter, She knows her Geometry all the better. Xvtallace Buchanan. so they say. An orator great will be some day. To practice on us is his present bent Gesticulating as Lit. president. Irene Knox so jolly and kind, To lend her homework she doesn't mind. And so when teachers are cross and snappy, She does her share to make us happy. Big, jolly mischievous boy. Every prank is his greatest joy. Ready for rugby. roaring to go. Never behind, never too slow. Exams he hates. so on that day. Really quite often the stays away. Clever, witty. bright anid gay. Ready for work as well as play, Of Florence Dickieson's virtues. we cannot tell half, But the one we like best is her gay little laugh. Marge Masson, comes to school s-o late, VVe fear the school-room she must hate, For everyday when the last bell goes, Marge is busy powdering her nose. Powell Morgan likes Geometry best. Most other subjects he thinks a pest. From his front seat the can't see why, He shoul-dn't watch the girls go by. Frank Kirvan is an unassuming lad. Not all good nor yet all badg VVe all like him for he has the gift. Of giving the guy that is down, a lift. Isabel Henderson doesn't live in Guelph. A fact on which she prides herselfg XVthile Guelph is all right, Drayton's the place. To show Guelph the way to set the pace. Marvin Carson, bright star of the class, XVith highest .honours is sure to pass, lVith all the girls he makes a ihit. They wouldn't want him to be changed a bit. Clova Ki-tching is a curly headed lass. XN'ho seldom heads her fourth form class. She likes modern languages, to speak German some, Brut when talking in class, she hears teacher's come, come. Stem.mler's the boy who still wears shorts, An-d never takes part in fourth form sports, He's good in Greek when exam. time comes, And during school hours his work never sihuns. Margaret Young is fu-ll of fun. Except when Latin is to be done: She scratches her head and makes faces too, VV31en geometry problems are to do. Vkfilrose Reid a front Seat boy. Vifhose Geometry often gives Davy joy: He hails from Acton. so you see. How clever Acton people must be. Verna Lehman, a teacher will be. She'l,l pass right up at 'the top. you'll see, For her, scth-ool teaching will just be fun. She'll -pass her pupils every one. Allan Cleghorn. son of the soil is hc, just as clever, as he can be. He's Charley's pride and Davy's joy. In fact he's quite the white-haired boy. Margaret Carleton. fair and slim. Is very quiet and very prim. But she sometimes talks in teacher's spares, And with their roars, they give her scares. Gordon Howse a back seat takes. And really seldom makes mistakes. But when some questions he can't hear, His answers are not quite right, I fear. Genevieve Clarridge. a soft-ball star. XVould rather play games than learn lessons by farg VVhen answering History she makes mistakes, But in Geometry class she makes few breaks. Ross Carton comes to school in a very nice way. Drivin.g his Ford coupe every Fine day: Though he is so shy, the girls never hide The fact that they'd not be averse to a ride. Jean Norrish 'though for awhile quite ill. ls 'back at her lessons with right go-od will: Vifhile she studies hard s-he is pleased each day, ' W'hen that nice tall boy wal-ks home her way. XN'ilf. Zieman, the boys who play rugby say, XYill learn to play rugby some Fine dayg He comes to school, n-o duty to shirk, XVhenever his radio will not work. f
