FORM NEWS Form III. Reminiscences THE history of our Form dates from September I 7th, 1935, when the twenty-five F ' s to K ' s were set aside in one group and designated for the school year as Form III. Among our number we find four faithful F ' s, six gladsome G ' s, the hopeful H ' s from Haines to Hunter, the joyful Jones girls and the kindly K ' s. As space does not permit the description of individual oersonalities, mention will be made of some of the achievements or bright lights which we are proud to say Form III. has contributed to every phase of Normal School life. We have sometimes been called the Silent Form, but still waters run deep. Many of our members who have served on executives, committees and teams, have ably proven their worth. Gertrude Jones was an efficient presi- dent of the second term Literary Society, Clara Kerr was secretary, and Helen Gloin treasurer, while Marjorie Hamil and Beatrice Godby were representatives. In the Student Parliament our voice was expressed by Jean Frayne and Gertrude Jones; in the Athletic Society by Margaret Gray as first term president, Clara Kerr as treasurer, and Helen Gloin and Helena Kohl as representatives; and in the General Science Club by Clara Jones. Beatrice Godby served as Literary editor for the Year Book, and Clara Kerr as editor of the Social Activities. Among our number we also have the president of the Teachers ' Federation, Edna Hunter. Then, too, we may well be proud of the literary accomplishments of Marjorie Hamil, who was on the debating team against Hamilton, and Clara Kerr, who was successful on the debating team at Toronto. We are also proud of our poetess, Beatrice Godby; our Form artist, Carmen Hale, and our musicians, Agnes Humphries and Clara Kerr. In the field of sport, Helen Gloin was an enthusiastic member of the Basketball team. Perhaps you do not know the members of our Form as well as we do, but can you imagine? — Jean Frayne and Marqaret Gillings six feet tall; Ruth Home worrying; Helen Hedges not arguing with Mr. McKone; Marguerite as old as the Hills; Aurelia Hayward without that come hither look in her eye; Helena not a glowing Cole; seeing Bernice Fuller without Valetta Henderson; our Form without our cheerful attendance recorder, Ruth Finch; Catherine Forbes not on the move; Anna Gregory with straight hair; Winnifred Kelk not happy. We have, indeed, had a happy Form life to- gether and will long remember the vital friendships made, and the kindly co-operation of our masters and instructors. MARGARET GRAY Form IV. Frolics OUR immediate reaction on September 17th was a feeling of importance, which gave way to a graver realization of our responsibility. It was then that we first began to comprehend the peculiar duty that was ours, to be fulfilled before leaving the halls of our Normal School. We began to take our places at the head of organizations guiding the student activities. Literary, social and athletic activities usurped the hours, but we benefitted immensely by these forms of liberal education. Jean McQueen very capably performed the duties of secretary of the first term Parliament. The Form was weil represented in the Athletic Society, with Marguerite Lawler, first term vice-president; Mary Linsley, second term president, and Helen McPherson, vice-president. While few outstanding successes were achieved, basketball and volleyball received our attention. Our representatives, four on each of the teams, made a very creditable showing with the Toronto and Hamilton teams. In basketball, we had Marguerite Lawler, Mary Linsley, Mildred Leverton, Aleta McGugan; and in volleyball, Helen McPher- son, Ida Mahler, Emily Moore and Ruth Morris. Our first term Literary programmes were effici- ently conducted by Sadie Martin, and the second term by Leah McLean. We are proud of two of our members, Kathryn Mclntyre, who so ably and successfully represented our School in the public speaking contest at Toronto, and Leah McLean, who was substitute debater and public speaker. Our Form, the Scotch Form, will long be remem- bered for the cheery, playful and enthusiastic spirit, intermingled with girlish laughter. Our novel frolic was the Leap- Year Party at Wong ' s, on March 6th, which was attended by a few from Form V. Soon we shall be scattered, perhaps to make other histories. Each of us in our mind will carry the history of our class. May the part that each bears lighten the dull moments, and inspire us to carry on to greater heights the ideals and traditions of the institution that sends us forth as teachers. Toward a new life by the well-known road. Familiar Funning Gladys Lyons: Well! I may be wrong, but — . Gladys Lounsbury: Shush! that reminds me of Virginnia. Irene Mason: Well — . Evelyn Miles: Do you really think so? Isobel McEwen: Did you hear what happened at Ailsa Craig? Doris McLeod: I really couldn ' t say. Nora McKay: Did you say something, Unky Dum Dum? Muriel MacKay: Shucks, my ambition is London . . . Mary Mitchell: I just know I ' ll fail. JEAN McLELLAND te
