About the usual number have en- tered Queen's, a few have launched out on a financial career, and the majority have hidden themselves away with the express purpose of making it difficult for this un- fortunate scribe to trace them. So far as we know, no alumnus as yet has so distinguished himself as to become a world figure, but: WAIT AlVHILE.7' Cf those who have entered Queen's, the Arts faculty, as usual, has claimed the ma- jority. VVe have often wondered why this should be so. Scandal-mongers have in- sinuated that this is because Arts is the easiest course, but K.C.I. Alumni of 1931 hereby arise as one man and deny this base accusation, In any case, here's the list of Alumni registered in Arts: Doug. Grant, Clare Kirkpatrick, jimmy Corrigan, Eraser Cliff, Bill Gummer, Gord. McMahon, Bob Woods, and Mac Donnelly. Medicine claimed Ross McCullough, Don Gourley, David Freeman, Eddie Kahn, and Did McKee. Graydon Darling, Allen Thompson, .Toe Whyte, and the inseparable jack and Bill Earl are learning Engineering in Science. Bill Holland is indulging in a bit of high finance somewhere or other about town, so we hear. Harold Davis is in the Royal Military College. VV e are sorry that we have not been able to obtain definite news of so many of our alumni, but we assure all those whose names we have omitted that the sin is one of ignor- ance, not of intentiff, GIRLS' ALUMNAE Editor: Marguerite Lemmon Qne more year has passed and another group of young ladies has graduated from dear old K.C.1., and are either developing their talents in other directions, or gracing other halls with their delightful personali- ties. As usual, Queens claimed many of our budding intellectualists, and the following have donned the bowler, stiff collar, and green tie in their pursuit after knowledge- Lola Billings, Jeannette Hamilton, Evelyn Horwitz, Rhoda Laidley, Ethel Millard, Marie Pappas, Edith Pense, Marion Saw- yer, jean Wraight, and Marguerite Lem- mon. The Normal School lured others to its various institutions, these being, Edith Burtch, Estelle Caverley, Leila Ritchie, and Enid Smith. Among our business aspirants are jean McBratney, Lorraine Potter, and Edith Ward, who daily wend their way to the Business College. Isabelle Simpson and Ada Terry are using their talents in the sick room, as they have entered the Kings- ton General Hospital. Catherine Percival has joined the working ranks of the world. Many of our graduates have transferred over to the Technical Department of the Kingston Collegiate and Vocational Insti- tute, and are there seeking to improve their minds. Wherever our fellow graduates are we are sure they look back on the years spent at K.C.I. as the happiest i-n their lives and we wish them luck. ..27...

,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-
