Does ANITA MAE BOULD-who is the little . ' she excel in studies, you bet! Her specialty Girl that sits in the Znd seat in the first row? is Working out Shorthand and Bookkeepmg' Don't tell me you don't know Neat. Neat's favourite pastime is sitting by the phone wait- ing for a call from a certain party. Neat ex- pects to be married when she leaves school. Here's wishing you luck, Neat. LEONA CLOW-Who's the studious girl in the second back seat of the second row in Special? Why that's Leona Clow. Does she always have her homework done? Can she play basket-ball? HWOW7' she excels in writ- ing notes. Leona has brown hair and oh those eyes. Best of luck to you, Leona. AGNES COOK-Of course you know her, brown eyes, curly hair, and full of fun, that's Cooky. Agnes hibernates in Portsmouth. Cooky excels in Bookkeeping, but spends most of her school hours writing notes and hopes to spend the rest of her life chewing a pencil in somebody's office. BETTY HAIGHT-From Bath attended Napanee High School and Wellington Con- solidated School, taking a Matriculation course, before coming to Kingston to take the Special Commercial Course. She's doing splendid work and we all wish her success both with her course and in getting a position. MARGUERITE HUGHES-Attended the convent last year and there she learned short- hand and bookkeeping but had no luck in ob- taining a position so came to K.C.V.I. to keep up her work. Here's hoping she may have better luck this spring or next summer. GERALDINE ISBELL - Who's that merry-eyed little girl in the fourth seat, first row, don't you know? That's Jerry, She at- tended third form Collegiate last year but de- cided to take 21 change to commercial. She's a great student and we all know she will easily win her certificate in June. SARAH KAHN-Wlio is that shy little girl in the Special? She never speaks unless spoken to, a wonder of the modern world. Sarah was a bright star in the Collegiate. So here's wishing you the best of luck in June. LAURA KEYES-Took up Matric but preferred to be a stenographer or something like that. She excels in Shorthand and Typ- ing, but Bookkeeping is the subject which she dislikes. She has been looking, every day, for a position but luck has not come her way. Her chief ambition is to get into an office with a nice manager. Here's luck, Hilda. GERTRUDE LAWSON-Gertrude is that fine student occupying the third seat in the second row. She attended 4B last year but didn't like Physics so attached herself to a scienceless class. She enjoys subjects here especially Business Law. Luck's always on her side and we know she'll easily finish the year successfully. GLADYS MacMASTER - Everybody knows our titian-haired Amazon as Goldie We take this nickname literally since it may be applied in diverse ways. Fine, as spun gold, a heart of gold, and she will be worth her weight in gold to her employer when she graduates. So, here's luck to you, fuzzy- wuzzy. VIN. MCQUAIDE - Who has all the girlies chasing him around? So goes the song and the answer is Vin. McQuaide. Vin. is tall and dark and he graces Special with his presence. Next time we see Vin. he will have his feet on a desk dictating letters. Best of luck Vin. CLAIRE MONK - After receiving her Matriculation in the Kingston Collegiate In- stitute, Claire Monk decided to take a Special Commercial Course. I am sure when she has finished helping our form with their Book- keeping we can recommend her as an ex- cellent stenographer. HELEN PERCIVAL - Helen attended fifth form Collegiate last year and for the first term this year came to the full school day but now since Christmas she has been here only during the afternoons. Neverthe- less she is progressing well and we all wish her the best of luck in June. HELEN SHIBLEY-Who is that bright cheery girl who sits in the front seat in the 3rd row in Special? Whv of course-Helen Shibley. Helen excels in Shorthand and Typ- ing. Her future is quite undecided. She does not know whether to take up househeeping or stenography. However, here's luck, Helen. LOIS STORMS-Someone asks I wond- er who that red-headed girl is walking up and down the halls and into Special? We look at her twice. then, a special student announces whV that's Lois Storms. She is a graduate of Queens no less and we are proud of her. Good luck Lois! 2-S0-,

Q KINGJTON com.: VOCATIONAL iN:'rrru1'e GEORGE SHARPE - Our sharp lad and he deserves the name. He is act1ve'1n all sports and puts away some time for studies. If all goes well George will be worrying the teachers in Sth next year with his sharpness. We wish him good luck. STUART SHURTLEFF-After another arc was described in the familv Circle in. 1914. we found Stu to be a genial friend with an unblemished character. and a steady scholar. We are sure that success will top his career. ALISTAIR SMITH-Our only common namesake, Smitty is an uncommon type of lad though,-very studious and his work shows it. He is well 'liked both in class and in sport. He is another one of the reasons why the world should look toward 4D and what it produces this year. TAMES STEVENSON-Steve arrived in K.CiV.I. after starting several riots in the frontier town of Bath and in Victoria School. He has quickly arisen to the dizzy heights of 4th. He is a genial friend, a good sport.. a fine student and we predict success for him in whatever vocation he chooses. ALLAN THOMPSON - Born in 1783 Allan soon rose in the ranks of fame and is now in 4D. He is acclaimed by famous critics as a great orator. We could recite a long list of his accomplishments but space is space so we must close now by wishing him the best of luck in the coming year. GEORGE TISDALE - Ty came from Toronto to carry our report slip around for us. He is also an air-man-a radio salesman in his spare time. He likes K.C.V.l. so well that he intends to stay here in Sth before go- ing to Queen's to become a Chemical Engin- eer. BRUCE VANORDER - Our Flying Dutchman -Van is an all-round sport but he prefers beating the fish at their own game. He is an excellent student and if he doesn't make good in June it will only be because there is something putrid in Peru. MELVILLE WATTS - Awoke all the people of Kingston some years ago. Mel is the class sheik when no one is looking and is good in all sports. He plans to go to Meds. when he graduates from K.C.V.I. in June. Best of luck, Zeke! HILDA WEBB-What a gal! With a pleasant smile and cheerful disposition Hilda brightens a corner of 4D. And that's not all. She is a good sport and can hold her own in class and basketball. Next year will probably find Hilda occupying a seat in Sth. Good luck, Hilda! HELEN WEBSTER-Who's that blue- eyed brunette in 4D? Why that's Helen Web- ster, Mr. Pearen's brilliant Greek scholar. Be- sides Greek, Helen excels in tennis and skat- ing, but her private interest seems to be in the Arts Freshman year. Helen intends to occupy a seat in Sth next year. Good luck, Helen! JACK WEIR-When asked where, when and why he was born, Jack fearing publicity refused to reply. However, despite his silence we have found out that he is a quiet, likeable chap, a ine student and a good sport. Good luck in your exams, Jack! ISOBEL WILSON-Isobel is a little girl who brightens up the outside row of 4D. Although she adores geometry she admits that she likes Gym best. Here's the best of luck, Izzy! Hope we'll see you in Sth next year. MARION WILSON-Sociable and a good sport. Marion is going through K.C.V.I. on a wave of popularity which we know will carry her to still greater heights in her col- lege career. Here's wishing you luck, Marion! CLARK WRIGHT-After being born in Kingston, living in Toronto and London, Ont., Clark returned to Kingston to get his educa- tion. It has been just one continuous walk for him through K.C.V.I. and he hopes to go to Sth next year, and we heartily cheer him on. DOUGLAS WRIGHT-Born in Kingston 16 years ago. Douglas has rapidly risen by virtue of a kindly disposition and hard work to the Hsuperiora loca of 4th form. We wish him all kinds of good luck and hope to see him in Sth next year. HAROLD YATES-Crooner began broad- casting in 191- and has been emitting queer sounds ever since. He is Mr. Copeland's ideal form president. After experimenting with Albert College for three years he return- ed to make the grade here this year. Good luck, Crooner! DOROTHY ZURBRIGG - Everyone knows the little girl with big brown eyes in 4D who rivals Paderewski. Dorothy first saw this big city early in 1915 and has been grow- ing in wisdom ever since. She is fond of swimming, skating and certain gentlemen. Best of luck in Sth next year, Dorothy! SPENSEREAN STANZA A Description of a Spenserean Stanza. To write a verse Spenserean I've striv'n -And finally 'tis ended, as you see- For bonus marks are kindly being giv'n To those who try their luck successfully. Nine lines in length each verse must surely be, Ten syllables in length must be each line- Except the last, in which are four times three, As in this verse original of mine. And this, the last line, with the others numbers nine. Phyllis Gummer, 2C. .49-.

After the sun, King Moon appears, With his many little servants bright, Each star clad in a silver gown Weariiig for crowns a tiny light. They twinkle down from the heavens, More like angels they seem to bc, Some are far and some are quite near, To the moon king, his majesty. They all obey without a word, They love their great king dearly, And when on nights the moon is bri They all enjoy life heartily. Some of the nights are very dark, The king stays inside his palace, They all around the fire sit, Telling tales of ancient malice. Of Romeo and Juliet, And of many great heroes bold, Of Jason and the golden Heece, And many Grecian stories told. Geraldine Belwa -51...
