THE L. C. I. TATLER 55 But, af-ter all We're not so bad, For you must bear in mind, The when it comes to real hard work We leave 'em all behind. ZC. IIC - The Tempest -iany time? Rusty Ringland played on the Senior Rugby Team this year while Hugo Beall did his bi-t for the Junior.

THIRD FORM NOTES School Daze in 3A-Tune: There ain't no flies on us. O, the flies crawled up the window, To come down two fby two, With a honey, oney, and a hocha cha, cha, Come on in, its time for Algebra. Sing it with flowers, Taking Agriculture at our ease, When yoiu' little Pomeranian Met my little peal-Ienese. Fit as a fiddle And ready for a spare, But wlhen 'times comes for composition We're not all there. Just an echo, yoo, hoo, In the valley, yoo, hoo, But it takes sweet memories Of Geometry from you. Ol' man Noah, Thought he knew a thing or two, If he had ever taken Lit., Do you think he could remember it Hey, young fella, Put your vain-coat in the cella For here comes Mr. Breese With his Canadian Histories. Trying to do Lattin, Riding a strawberry roan, While Hurrying to my blue heaven, Just try .a little tenderness. I never could explain The rainbow an-d the rain, Or why there's something wonderful In French, N'est-ce pas, Memories, memories, Dreams of homework too, But let's turn out the lights And go to sleep. IIIB. LOG IIIB, seems to have attained many hon- ours this year, both in the athletic and literary fields. Vera Chick our most brilliant student won the Junior athletic medal and Bram- Well White distinguished himself on the rugby field. Jack Finley was chosen for a part in the fall play. Muriel Daniels won the Senior Oratorical fC-ontest and in the inter-form debates Muriel Daniels and Harold Winter won victory for IIIB over fifth form. Two of the IIIB students have been chos- en for parts in the spring play. Hilarityz- Jack Finley still thinks Al. Capone star- ted his career in highschool by framing corollaries. Parliamentary procedure is becoming prominent in IIIB. Holmes and Williams are still striving for seats. Miss Dalrymple-What is a polygon. Richards :--A.B.C.D.E.F.- Miss Dalrymple:-I didn't ask you for the alphabet. Miss Garbutt: - Explain the following words: higgl-edy-piggledy, helfter-skelter, hocus pocus, namby-pamby.

54 THE L. C. I. TATLER mi s- We r.: lg X4 V X Eli 'H -3. Ra j - E571 t -5. 1 Wm !!!f f?2': 'Y --..'1 ' - LES ENFANTS TERRIBLE Form 1A-lWomen without menl. Form lA has won no little share of honors this term in scholarship and in athletics. Betty Nichol gained honour for herself and for her form in field day, by running. Bernice Blakely carried off the honours at the promenade bg' win- ning 'the fancy dress prize. 1A was suc- cessful in debates. against 1B, 1C, and 2A, the credit going to Grace Craighead, Is- abelle Thurston, and Isabel Graham. Fruits of evil: -- A rather good one is told of one of the first form girls. Hav- ing no Algebra homework done one of the girls sought refuge in the basement and as she realized the enormity of her of- fence she decided to get sick and go home. She was treated to a large spoonful of castor oil, and my 'dear readers will be pleased to know that she returned to school that afternoon a much wiser and sadder girl. Moral:-If you must pull off those silly stunts, do them well. Better not to have done a thing at all, than to have done it poorly. - Shakespeare.'' M.r. Patterson says that some of the minds of 1A should not only be cultivated ,but plowed under. Form 1B feels that they have enjoyed their year in first form and consider that its members have had a successful year. In this issue they wish to present to you a few of the things that they have enjoyed themselves. The three R's to 1B are Re- cline, Relax and Rest. Mackey thinks that Mr. Breese sees through his pupils. Ferguson wishes that history would re- peat itself. To IB September mourn is the day that school begins. IC- Les Intellectuels' IC's complete year can be expressed in the following little poem. Too much fun, Too much sport Nothing done, Bad report. SECOND FORMS 2A. Ofur Form:- We, the members of 2A have a certain liking for this pleasant school-room of ours, on the second floor of fthe L. C. I. As we enter each morning through the la1'ge oaken doorway, usually swung wide open to admit the stragglers for French Period we see bright sunshine casting its rays on dust-less desks and brightening up the often dull periods with flitting balls reflected by mirrors hidden in some un- suspected corner. At the front of each row well-autographed tables and each row of seven desks where smiling students sit or should I say Cfrowningl be-cause of such things as Latin or Geometry. THE FUNNIES:- A-2A student- Do you think early rising is good for your health? A farmer lad:- I don'-t know about my health but next to sun, rain, and fertili- zer it's the 'best thing there is for crops. Helen Reeves:-Say, how did your story on Perpetual Motion turn out. Martha Reesor: - Oh! It was a great success. Every time I handed it in, it came back to me. 2B.- 223 is such a brainy form Although, we're bad maylbe, The boys act up, the girls adorn, This brilliant form you see. Of chalk we have a treasure-trive, Though hidden from your sight. The boys, with chalk, as I can prove, Put up a wondrous fight. Of paper shot from elastic, You must be very careful For those naughty boys do get a kick Of giving you an earful.

56 THE L. C. I. TATLER the slave trader who is about to take Tom away.D Mr. Shelby- I'm sorry Tom old boy, you've been a good worker but due to the present financial condition I feel that I've got to let you go. I will give you a rec- ommendation at any time. Tom:-- Thank you imassa, I all knows that you would keep me if you could. Good-bye massa 1Tom 'bends his afflicted brow to receive his master's parting bless- ing. and goes off with the slave trader who winks at Mr. Shelby. They exeunt.3 Scene 2. 1Tom, Master George Shelby, and Tom's mother are seated before a table with dishes of pancakes and syrup.J Uncle Tom's mother:- Good-bye Tom. ma boy, and be sure to write to yuh poor mammie like Massa George learned you to. Master George- Good-bye Tom, I'm sorry I didn't have rtime to tell you the lat- est one about Pat and Mike. Uncle Tom:-It all breaks ma heart to leave you. Good-bye mammie, Good- bye Mrassa George. ' Scene 3:-cTakes place on a ship. Uncle Tom has just pushed 'Ilopsy into the river. With loud screams she is fished out. When some of the men tried to annihilate Uncle Tom, Topsy with a pale smile on her pale little lips said sweetlyz- Dear papa, for- give poor Tom, he didn't mean to I'm sure. Did you Tom? Tom was very sorry and quite converted I'm sure. Come Tom and live with us? said Top- sy, kindly. Scene 4. tTakes place in the drawing room of fthe St. Claire homei Tom is speaking. Topsy, what is the best way to get rid of ants in the house? Topsy- I don't know or I'd try it on Aunt Ophelia. Uncle Tom: Insult them. CLittle Top- sy laughs uproariously at which noise Aunt Ophelia and Eva enter. Eva is red with anger, green with envy, white with rage, but true blue till the last as she wip- es the last bit of watermellon from her ears. Topsy, I didn't mean to steal the watermellonj' she cried, with bitter tears streaming down her face. ' Aunt Ophelia:- Oh, Eva, I wish you could be as good as Topsy. 4With this they all exeunti Scene 5. - iTopsy is dying and Eva, Aunt Ophelia, Topsy's father and mother. and Uncle Tom are all there mourning. Even Little Eva whose thoughts are usu- ally wicked is for a moment rather sor- rowful.D Topsy fwith a pale smile? Good-bye mama, papa, dear Eva, Uncle Tom and Aunt Ophelia, do have more patience with Eva. With these kind words little Topsy prespired and my dear readers we regret that we cannot give any further informa- tion as to her final resting plaice, but knowing that she has friends in both places, who wish her well. CWe are ashamed to say that at that moment Eva jumped up and down and shouted with glee, Now I can use Top- sy's rag curls! With a shocked cry the others left the room and Eva took Top- sey's curls and after trying them on re- marked The kind my mammy used to make. Scene 6. -tSimon Legree has come to collect the mortgage and the St. Claires are not prepared to meet it. Little Eva who has had much compunction for her former actions, and to help our story has very kindly agreed to save the day.7 With a dramatic gesture, she cries, Give me just 24 hours and your accursed mortgage Will be paid. And with that she grabs her hat and coat and rushes out of the house. Scene 7. The St. Claire home. Enter Simon Le- gree at three minutes before the appoint- ed hour. Little Eva has not arrived and the St. Claires have given up hope. Just three minutes more and this plantation is mine. But at this moment a wild siren is heard and 'the screeching of brakes as a large limousine rolls up to the door. Lit- tle Eva enters with breathless haste- You are saved my dear people from this viper. Here is your :B1,000. Never darken this door again. Simon Legree mutters, Curses, foiled again. As he turns to go out the door Uncle Tom. whispers to Sambo and Quirrvbo, Now boys and they each hand him a lemon. tExit Simon Legreej All:- Tell us the secret of your success Eva:- Well, I hitch-hiked to New York with a radio sponsor and he liked my voice and 'got me a job on the radio. SCCIIC 8. Liza crossing the ice. Liza is one of Eva's poor relations and is fleeing from Simon Legree's clutches to join Eva in New York. The baying of the hounds in hot pursuit is heard as they round the bend. At the middle of the river Liza is seen to pause and with a soornful toss of her head calls: Couldn't catch a. flea. Couldn't catch a flea. At that Simon Le- gree turns from the scene but is knocked out cold as a lemon drops from a nearby tree on his head. fMoral-And so all things must came to an end.J
