it s tt l se IA GIRLS Girls! Girls! Stop that chatter! This is the response to the many daily con- ferences in Form lA. In this form there are 36 girls, some of whom are brilliant in studies, while others are quite playful. We hope to do well in our examinations. So far, we have taken very little interest in sports. We have made good friendships among ourselves this year, and also with some of our teachers. 1B GIRLS We are thirty-three happy girls living on the top Hoor of the old K.C.I. Our star athletes are Madeline McNeven and Vivian Hartman. A couple of the outstanding scholars of our form are Marjorie Compton and Helena Cockrill. One day some of our merry crowd came into the school room all looking like five-year-olds, with bows in their hair. The champion gigglers of our class are Loreen Chadwick, Betty Moore, Vivian Hartman, Gertrude Ballard and Hilda Curtis. Our President, Geraldine Belwa, is just the right kind for the head of a class, for she is cheery and thoughtful. 1C GIRLS There is a saying that thirteen is an unlucky number, but that certainly does not apply to the girls of IC. We are a very happy, lively lot Ca little too lively sometimesl, but I am sure the teachers will agree that we are not too bad on the whole. We are very fond of basketball, and our team is nothing to be ashamed of. We all hope to pass in our Easter exams, and wish everybody good luck in them also. ' 1C BOYS Every day there is a loud noise from within the walls of old lC. NVhat can it be? VVhy, the masculine pride of our form getting ready for another hard day's work. Work is our second name as far as studies are concerned. Our con- duct is unquestionable Cconsult Miss Robinsonj. In sports we excel, especially in basketball. Last, but not least, we mention the loss of Miss Edwards, our beloved forrn and Latin teacher, whom we miss very much. We are very pleased to welcome Miss Coughlin whom we are learning to like very much. 1D GIRLS XVho are we? NVhy, the quiet girls in the room across from the office. We number seventeen-5 when we are all here. We are very ambitious in our studies, and very active in sports. We are all studying hard for our examinations, and are hoping to End ourselves in second form next year. ill- 1D BOYS The boys of 1D number fifteen only, but we make up for the lack of numbers by the amount of brains that we possess. A number of boys entered the Field Day Sports and made a good showing. 1D and lC combined to form a rugby team to play in the form games.. Most of us passed the Christmas exams. and are beginning to study for the coming Easter exams. Those who did not pass in the Christmas exams, We hope will be able to pass in the new set. 1E GIRLS Near the office you will see The form you know as bright 1E Small in number, yet, they say, We enter in all sports and play. The girls are good, and very quietg But from the boys-oh, what a riot Vlfe are as happy as can be, With Miss Tickell as head of IE. So when we study Algebra -In art we do excel- Or learn our History or French, Vtfe always do- it well. The final exams we've not yet tried, Although they're drawing neargg VVe're on the job and working hard For second form next year. 1E BOYS This is a rather noisy little form, and when we get going nothing short of detentions can stop us. All the pupils but four are new to the school this year. NVe have hopes in the basketball league that will be played throughout the season. If the boys are as lively as they look, as long as we do not come up against a teams too big, IE ought to reach the Hnals. Vtfe hope to do considerably better in basketball and hockey than we did in rugby. .21-

Front Row-Wfinifrcd Rutledge, Mr. Hitsman, Arthur Collins, Mr. Kelly, Edna Pound SENIOR LITERARY SOCIETY The K.C.V.I.

XVilliam Simmons Vice-President ....... XVi-nifred Rutledge Secretary ................. Edna Pound Council-Ruth Snowden, Blossom VVillets, Murray Sowards. The Senior Literary Society this year, until after the New Year, has been handi- capped by the lack of an Assembly Hall, due to the construction of the new Tech- nical School. However it was possible to hold one meeting on November 27, 1931, in the old Hall. The programme was presented by 5A and consisted of selections by the School Orchestra, followed by a. short play. The Technical School which was opened on January 29, 1932, provides us with a spacious auditorium in which we hope to hold many more meetings during the re- mainder of the year. Vile feel sure that the students of Ii.C.V.I. will enjoy many successful Liter- ary Meetings in their new Auditorium.

6 KINGJTON COLLEGIATE 1F BOYS Oh, poetry is hard to write, But I will do my best, . For I've a lively subject- The boys of lF In number we are thirty-three, The fastest in the school. VVe know you won't believe it, But keep cool, keep cool. If our bright genius only would Invent some brand new story VVhy our homework is not done He would pave his way to glory. Steadily we march along Each day doing every task What more, we should like to know, Could our dear teachers ask? FORM IK , VVe came to K.C.V.I. from the ancient ruins of the old Commercial building. Our number is not large, consisting of about twenty-five, mostly girls. But we should worry, good goods are done up in small parcels. And if you question our working ability, drop in some day and see for yourself. FORM IL In September 19.31, this class consisted of about twenty pupils, but after moving from the Commercial to the Technical at Christmas, six more pupils joined the class. The president is Hugh McMillan, and the reporter is Leo Murphy. This is not a very large form, but what we lack in size, we make up in our work, and marks. 1S BOYS ' We are the all boys form of IS in the New Technical School and are very proud of our new building, especially our shops. In lS the boys have many ambitions as carpenters, machinists, electricians and mechanics. We are not only good in work but also in sports. In the Field Day our form lS, won many of the events, in which Mr. NVeston, our first form teacher, encouraged us to enter. Mr. McKeown is our present form teacher. i- FORM 1T Though badly broken up by moving from the old building to the new, lT has been by no means backward. We have a wonderful school and wonderful opportunities of which we intend to make the best use. We have done as well as any other form in sports. lT won the Lower School Rugby Championship and we are trying very hard for the Basketball Championship. Our relay team defeated the others in the last Field Day. We also had a few boys who won races. Next year we will do just as well and perhaps better than we have done, both in sports and in studies. 1X GIRLS Have you ever heard of our form 1X just eleven of the fairer sex? There's Mary, who is dark and packed full of fun, She's generally found where a trick has been done. voc:A1'loNAL lNQ1Tl:l'U:'E Right across from her, sits a girl quite jolly, For Viola makes us laugh at her folly. Then there's Lila who sits quite erect, And if you look at her work, you'1l find it correct. Betty Scrutton is dark, and works with a might, And every question she gives quite a fight. Then there's Florence, who is quite a jolly sport, The school would be fine, if all her sort. Our youngest pupil is Viola Rhines, Over hard questions, she never whines, For a diploma hard at work is Kay, Let's all hope succeed she may. Near by sits Doris graced with long curls, The envy of all the girls, Right at home and always hard at work, For hard work, Lillian never tries to shirk. The oldest girl is Madeline, She's never one bit cross or mean. Then back in the corner far, Sits Ivy, our basketball star. 1X BOYS We are the special boys technical formand are thirteen in number, sharing our form IX with the girls' technical form. This is our first term in the technical department and we find our work very interesting under the capable leadership of our instructors. We should like you to know that we have some important experts in our midst. We feel the following should be mentioned: Harry Lane, the timetable expert, Carl Davis, the clockmaker genius, Bob Lawler, our electrical wizard, and Scotty Macdonald, our brilliant draftsman. For further information see Ross Burke or Malcolm Smith. S. Wilson is losing sleep trying to balance the finances of our form. If you would like some advice on technical mat- ters, we are ready to receive you any time on Sagirday. We wish you all the very best of luc . f X 'I xX ly H XX, 1 X I sp X .
