6 KINGJTON cou.ecsnA'rE VOCATIONAL lN.f'ruTu'rs t FORM 3K We are SK Commercial The best form in the school, We come to learn in every way, And hardly ever fool. The number of boys is hve, they say Swain, Scrutton, Gardiner, Compeau and Shea. Fifteen girls as well as the boys But from all these there's not so much noise. We like our teachers every one, And try to please them in every way 3 And if at times we have some fun, It is because our work is done. FORM 3L oi-1, YE aL. And now a word for old SL, We're only few as you can tell. But we don't care about our number, You'll never find us deep in slumber. W'e're WVide-awakes, and Busy B's, From French, right down to plugging keys. And when the dear ole 'Zams come round, In honour's place our names are found. Of this we'll have no contradiction, Although this truth seems stranger than fiction. And at our head is Mr. O'Brien, And we must say he suits us fine. And now we'll end this little rhyme, Drop in and see us all sometime. 4A GIRLS Although there are only seven of us, we are almost fully convinced that we are an essential part of 4A form. In this case, at any rate, it is quality, not quantity, that counts. WVe are all very studious maidens, but do not neglect fun. NVe feel sure that we will get through in June if we con- tinue to keep as our motto Never do today what may be put off till tomorrow. always shines when there is anything to be done. VVe are proud of the field day champion in our midst and also of members of the rugby teams. 4A supports the basketball and hockey teams, too. Some of the rifle teams make their homes here as well. Despite all these laurels in the field of sport, we have with us some future scholarship- winners, of whom we are justly proud. We all expect to leave fourth at the end of the year, in spite of the prophecies of Mr. Ball, and we wish everyone good luck. 4B GIRLS Oh, we don't deny there are stories, VVe freely admit there are tales, But our word is pledged to survey Regarding pranks of 4B girls. Some of us may be brilliant, Others are classified dumb, But the averaged total of talents Is a strikingly notable sum. The final test of our knowledge Is the test that comes in Juneg And may the budding time of roses Find the master minds in tune. Though we're sure we have ability Despite adversity and stress, To battle through triumphantly To the much-sought goal, success. 4B BOYS Although 4B has long been boasted of as the worst form in the school, this year the tide has turned. If you donyt believe it ask the teachers. Then duck. Although the room is dark, there are twenty bright boys to lighten it. We have stars in hockey, rugby and basketball. The mys- terious matter in 4B is the way rubbers and gol- oshes have the habit of disappearing suddenly. After a frantic search they generally can be cgoulpd in the waste-paper basket or someone's es . 0 i 4A BQYS Like all the other great bodies we have a 4A this year is found. in smalleruquarters. Al- motto, namely. Yes, we have no homework though its ranks are diminished, it nevertheless done. f XS I tu wi. XI K h el - L 'Tx xxx I qw , -X 'Z -' 'I I X .

KINGJTON CSOLLEGIATE VOCATIONALS INSTITUTE 3A GIRLS Will the Ladies' Aid please come to order, thunders the voice of our Chemistry teacher. Then silence reigns in the laboratory and the students of 3A begin to probe deeply into the mysteries of science. Although Chemistry is our favourite subject, we admit that we also excel in other studies. We are a delight to our Latin and French teachers. However we are doing our best and are trying to obtain the required sixty- six per cent. in all our examinations so that we will not have to grace Grant Hall with our pre- sence in June. A 3A BOYS just a dozen big, brave, and handsome men. Each of us has his own line of amusement in class. There is that Romantic artist, Jimmie Reid, who is always drawing pictures of a cer- tain one, on the other side of the room. Brother Allen also helps in his great way. Eddie Scott is always telling jokes to a particular one of the fair sex. The Donald Cain who is always try- ing to borrow a certain person's shoe. Mr. Sey- mour is forever sharpening that pencil of his, so he can use it as a weapon. All in all, we are an intelligent lot with big futures. 3B GIRLS Oh, we modern twenty-six Who provide the sex appeal Which emanates from each and every fille Who passes her days from woe or weal Over a studious desk of renowned 3B, Wherein many a dazzling future lies, Which K.C.V.I. will have begun to realize When, marching before its quickening eyes, We uphold those traditions which are forever K.C.I's. On no pretense whatever would we, With all our modern sophistication. Withhold from the needy of the nation What fines are exacted for gum-mastication. Oh, be sure to come and see the twenty-six. 3B BOYS Who has not listened with admiration to the deeds of valour of the boys of 3B! Some of us are old hands at the art of struggling to pass third form exams, but the majority of us are new models, taken from ZD, and other forms. The fair sex outnumber us by about two to one, and generally lead us in examinations-not because we lack brains of course, but rather because we be- lieve in the noble saying Ladies first. We have hopes of leaving SB at the end of the year, and we wish you the best of luck. 3C GIRLS The redeeming half of old 3C The girls? Why certainly! 'Our number is almost score Clt would be if we had two morel ln sports we've had no chance as yet, But we have the goods you can bet. Though the exams. were not just right None of us are in any plight. Next year you'll find us in form four, So we may have to move off the ground floor. 3C BOYS What more need be said than that? There are seventeen of us left from twenty-eight which started last fall. The others were reluctantly taken away to the Technical School. We had three representatives on the junior rugby team, one on the senior and also some hockey players were donated from this form, not water boys either. As far as academics are concerned all the boys have done their conscientious day's work and they will be right there in june. We would like to quote some- words from Tennyson Hitsman: We're bound by ties that naught can sever, Though The Times continue forever and ever. 3D GIRLS In the new wing is found the very airy form of forms, in which 27 girls occupy seats near the door. We are moderately clever in all our studies, and refuse to stay more than one year in third form. As examinations draw near, we are set- tling down to earnest studying. We send back cheerfully all the debris sent from the opposite side of the room. We have some good sports in our form, and altogether we have lots of fun mixed up with work, and are a good-natured set. 3D BOYS When asked what she thought of 3D boys, I heard one of our most esteemed teachers say, 3D might be compared to a machine, which takes knowledge in the book state and carefully dis- sects it, then arranges the facts according to practical use and the thoughts to merit. But as no machine runs perfectly, occasionally some unit ceases to function smoothly, kicks slightly, or even temporarily ceases work altogether with the result that there is-trouble. She said trouble, but doubtless she meant-fun. As to sport, when one mentions sport in K.C.V.I., one thinks of 3D -which is only right. si GIRLS We're only a few weeks old, and our form is called LSE, but if you can't find it look for Room 6 in our brand new school. Well, when you do find us, and have a peep at nineteen good-looking girls with lots of brains, and see them play basket- ball, you'll be more than satisfied with us, and I lgiow you'll join in wishing us heaps of good uc . - 3E BOYS For the first time in the history of our school has it been necessary to create a 3E form and we, together with our attractive co-eds feel ourselves fortunate in being the individuals singled out for this unmistakable sign of progress. We hardly know as yet, planted to our new territory how we shall pro- gress as a form toward the perfection that our teachers longingly look and hope for, but the spirit is already evident, and the ability, we know is there, so the results should be all our foster mother fthe old Collegiatej could reasonably ex- pect of her emigrant children of 3E. after being trans-

,KINGJTOFI coctecicre VOCATIONALI lN.f'rl'ru1'a 4C GIRLS Howdy Folks! here are the girls of old 4C To greet you once again, We always have our lessons done,-- That's more than some can claim. We sometimes wander through the halls, Only to be driven back, VVith Mr. Danby or Mr. Hedley Always on our track. We're not rough, but we know our stuffg In basketball we excel, And perhaps this year we'll say farewell To the school we loved so well. 4C BOYS Webster jabbering aimlessly--Downs and Geo- metry-the occasional visits of Spats Silver- the Sleeping Beauty, J.B.-the pest spilling your books- the world is Hat -the reception com- mittee, Floyd and Bill-and the borrowers and visitors-new spectacles Ted and Stew-and so we patter along, gently-oh, so gently, and never passing an exam. Oh! Oh! 4D GIRLS Are you aware of the fact that there were thirty-nine pupils in K.C.V.I. last year who so astonished the teachers with their superior abilities that an entirely new form was made for them this year? Where? Why, in the Physics Lab., of course! We-the girls of 4D-although out- numbered by the boys, have no equals in borrow- ing homework, talking, or translating Virgil. We wander from one classroom to another all day long so that we may distribute our knowledge for the benefit of the other pupils. Our goal this year is 66'Z1. Here's hoping you'll see us in Fifth next year! 4D BOYS Is that D a misprint? Not much! We have the hono-ur of inhabiting the first D fourth form in the school. After being exposed to the dangers of the Physics Lab. all fall, we now find ourselves in a new room. Bright lights of all the trades are among us-scholars, athletes, comedians, or what have you? We hope to leave the name of 4D an honour to our succeeding school-fellows, and I trust that they will bring additional honour to its name. SPECIAL COMMERCIAL SPECIAL is our particular name and we live up to it. What more is wanted! We hope that no one else is going to have anything against us having such a label after June. We hope to be a credit to our new School and we know that when we finish our course there will be some one awaiting the services of our Specials Cone and all of usj. We wish all the future specials who are on their way through K.C.V.I. the same thorough training and the best of suc- cess. 5A GIRLS Here's to the jolliest, friendliest set you could ever wish to meet. Not clannish, oh no!, just chummy, yet with plenty of regard for others. Imagine what a wonderful chance a psychologist would have to study SA girls, everyone from that Whisperer to her of the mischievous eye. Good sports, good scholars, that's what we are. Just give us till June and you'll see! What the future holds in store we cannot guess. Will it be cook- ing? Oh yes!! To say goodbye doth make us grieve, But further aims we must achieve. 5A BOYS Well, well, nothing much need be said of the boys, because you have seen their prowess in both study and sports. We are perfect in everything, even the pleasant, puerile pastime of petting the pretty puellae. Some day we hope to master Eng- lish: even such seductive words as minutiae and surreptitious. Deo volente. 5B GIRLS Nineteen girls are here enrolled, Eager that knowledge to them be told. Smiles and chuckles are also here, For final exams we do not fear. A In sport our names must not be missed, Our basketball is really brisk. And on the field we take our place The first to start and end the race. Along come Sally, Eunice and Mae Vivian and two Wiiiiiies next in array Aileen, Isabel, a May and Marie Then Betty and Bess and two Dorothy A Sadie, a Thelma, a Marianne, An Evelyn and Marg-this is our clan If more of them you wish to know just take a look at who's who below. 5B BOYS 5B enjoys the unique distinction of being the first form in the school to go under that name, and the boys have certainly set a high standard for the future 5B's. However, we are unique in more ways than one, as our achievements in our studies and sports will testify. Besides, we are the young men of the school. We are well represented on all the school teams and greatly helped to make this year successful as far as sports are concerned. Our ability does not all run to brawn and we expect to be in pursuit of know- ledge for some time yet. -26-
