80 ACTA NOSTRA, 1926 lst Forms IA IC FIRST FORM SKATING PARTY On XYednesday, january 13th, a skating party. which undoubtedly proved to be the First Forrn's most enjoyable social event of the year, was held at the Rotary Rink. The boys and tthe girls met in the school at seven-thirty. and proceeded to the rink. where an hour an-d a half of excellent skating was enjoyed by all present. Following this, a delicious supper was served in the domestic science ro-om. under the supervision of Miss Higgins and Miss Strang. who proved themselves excellent cake servers and cocoa manufacturers. After this worthy spread, the majority of the students returned to the rink and skated till ten o'clock, when tihe gathering dispersed. after an evening full of fun. Miss Higgins- Fermez la porte, Cowan. tXVPalter looks blankly around. then gets ufp and puts his gum in the basket. lB A stands for An-dy, A teacher of courseg He gives us detention, XVith a great deal of force. H stands for Higgie, The teacher so smallg She certainly is strict. Although she's not tall. L stands for Lowes, The teacher of Litg XYith some of the pupils. Shes made a great hit. is for McCallum, The 'teacher so neat: She shines from her head. To the tips of her feet. The reason l B. does not understand Latin is because there are too many hope- less cases. Oh, Mr. Stanley is a wonder, And when he's old and gray: Oh, yes! we'll say. By thunder! He was some teacher in his day. QUERIES NVho's the Baby of l C? Babe McLeod, of course. Orange rouge just flies around jean's desk, doesn't it? Didn't we have a swell time at the First Forin's skating party? The cocoa was swell, E. 1-l. and H. S. put their heads together and made it. It was certainly sweet! Billy and Bobby VVhetstone are not re- lated, but they are very much the same. One's a nightingale and the other's a mocking bird. Russel King is a real violinist. He proved himself so at the concert we had at Christmas time when Mr. Allan was here. The Literary Advocate of 1 C. is the best Form paper in the school. Mr. Allan started it when he was here and Mr. Stanley kept it up. lsn't it, eh? lYe'll tell the world it is! People say that the first crows appeared about March 10t1h, but 1 :Xfs Crowe has hung around Elizabeth nearly all winter. Harry McLeod sang a ditty. One clear night in the fallg lYhetstone thought 'twas a kitty, Threw a brick-and that is all! A FO REST PATH Un a beautiful day in autumn. .-Xs l wandered far and wide. By SOIHE' strange will of nature To a forest my footsteps glide. Here, strewn with tinted colours. ln red and yellow and brown: Leaves from the stately maple. Slowly came sailing down. Nature seemed to have painted. XYith magical colours so rare: These leaves so crimson and golden. ln utmost and perfect care. As winter slowly advances, I see this again perchance, In memory's hour of vision, The pathway of sweet Ro-mance. Lionel Quigg.
