THE L.C.L TATLER 77 The Second Form Gazette NO. I APRIL I. 1931 ONCE EVERY BLUE MOON THE EDITORIAL STAFF Editor-VVilliam Nugent. Assistants-Cassie Kitson Myrtle Webster. Scribe-Hazel Eakins. EDITORIAL Last year's juniors entered the second forms in September and at the same time entered with gusto into tl1e dif- ferent activities of our L.C.I.. The three forms, IIA, IIB and IIC, have handled the Junior events of the year in splendid manner. The Hallowe'en for the Juniors was in every way as pleasing an event as that of tl1e Seniors. The Literary programmes in which our forms had the pleasure of participating were considered highly entertaining. The Junior Rugby Team proved to be grid artists of the year and were more successful than their older brothers in their games. Our showing thus far has been a creditable one and we take pleasure in presenting to The Tatler this review of Second Form Classes, 1930-1931: FORM NEWS AND COMMENT VVhat would it be like if Mr. Couke said, Go on. play with the taps g if R. D. Kennedy ever knew a theorem, if Sliv. Taverner was at school a whole day, if Blakely didn't pull the gag about having a sprained arm? J. Begley was going in the 100 yard dash on Field Day, but decided that it was better to go in the two mile race, as it takes him a mile and a half to get started. IVIT AND HUMOUR 'Brisbin fgoing into Lab.5: You're late to-day, Gregory. Gregory: Yes, I fell downstairs. Brisbin: That didn't take long, did iv One of the great problems in park- ing is to get your car outofalinelikethis. A TEAR SHED IN A SPARE XVhen a student is reviewing, In this age it is so rare, Most of us think we know it all And fail to give a care. 'Twas in my science note book, At velocity in air, That I shed a little tear-drop And outlined it all with carey O what a sweet memorial, A memory planted there, As I lightly scrawled below it 'Tis a tear-drop in despairg VVe had to hand our notebooks in. Mine was somewhat later there, As I explained to my teacher 'We1l, you know I had a spare.. When I got back my treasured note- book I examined it with care, And I found written 'neath that tear stain You must work more in the spare! UNO HOWE. II-B BEATITUDES lRevised Latin. 300, Ex. 4991 Blessed is IIB when they are quiet in Latin period: for they shall escape detention. Blessed are certain boys when they use their own door, for Miss Adams guards the girls' door. Blessed are they that pass in Arith- metic, for their homework will not be examined. Blessed is Pitts when Miss Adams does not answer his questions, for he will become sensible. Blessed is the boy who toes the n1ark for Mr. Coukeg for the corner is very uninteresting. Blessed is our worst speaker, for his lectures are pleasant substitutes for the French. Blessed are the XVriters' Club Repre- sentatives, for their brains are well- racked. Blessed are they that study Lating for they could translate this passage better. Blessed am I for this feeble attemptg for I never could translate Latin.
