M. H. S. REVIEW Page Twenty-Seven jfnrm V. Form Teacher-Mr. J. J. Robins. Representative-Gunhilda Ulrickson. Torchy Fitzgerald, one of our brilliant girls, Has all her brightness in her curls. Marion Brandon has a shining light too, Just look at her head and you'Il see its true. Talk about brains we have lots to lose, Muriel or Islay, whichever you choose. Now, speaking of boys, Brown heads the row, He's the 5th form 'fsheik, as you very well know. Belleheumer runs him a very close second, Though he's not as clever as we all reckoned. Helen and Hilly have fun at the back, They do lots of talking and for smiles never lack. Our High School Editor is Eileen Chew, That she knows her onions is very true. McCannell and Jory are in Latin so clever, Miss Simpson doesn't call them down, Oh, no ! Never ! Gertrude Hood our Math. magician, Just loves to solve a big equation. Burwell Hunter likes the girls, When he sees them, his head just whirls. Gordon Mclieown a ditlerent sort, Seeks other pastimes as his favorite sport. Verna Haughton and Monda Rowe, a very quiet couple, Never give their teachers the teeniest bit of trouble. Now 5th Form mustn't take all the space, So we'll leave some room for the forms more base. Miss McMullen to DeFinney- DeFinney why were you late ? DeFinney- Please teacher, the bell rang before I got here. Well I don't believe I deserve an absolute zero in this Modern His- tory exam, complained Ruth Sylvester. Neither do I, answered Mr. Gaviller, but its the lowest mark I'm allowed to give ! .. Winnie Jones- Why is a canoe very diiferent to a Scotsman ? Kal Mclntaggart- Because it often tips. The town policeman to Edmond Jones- Why did you run away after breaking that window 7 Edmond- I just ran home to get money to pay for it. Frail Flowes- Yes, my boy, I reckon you can have her, sighed Old Man Hawkins to his daughter's suitor, But take good keer of her, for she has been riz kinder tinder-like. Eight acres is all I ever ast her to plough between sun-up and dark ! She cun do light work such as well- diggin' and steer brandin', but she aint used to no rough stuff, so you'l1 have to be gentle with her Y

Page 'Twenty-Six M. H. S. REVIEW There seems to be a particular future for them but it has faded from sight. In the outskirts of this town is a large hospital. I don't know whether any of your friends are there or not. Yes, Rena Robertson and Ruth Topping are in training and, giving them a lecture on proper breath- ing, is Ernest Nicholson-a prominent physician. The scene changes rapidly and now I see the Olympic games. You have a number of friends taking part in this and who are proud to say they belonged to the M. H. S. Henry Boyer is the outstanding athlete, and, as he leaps over the bar in the high jump, the crowd cheers with de- light. In another part of the field, a basketball game is in full swing and the most active players are Fred Bell and Howard Gregoire. At the same town, a large crowd has gathered at the Opera House. The play, Romeo and Juliet is being presented and the leading actor is Lorne Letherby, with Miriam Panton playing opposite. Their great eloquence charms the audience. During the intermission, I see Lillian DeNure dancing the Highland Fling, accompanied on the piano by Lillian Elsomf' The picture grows dim but I catch a glimpse of Jim Playfair as a great shipbuilder, Ada King a dietican, Marcil Tremblay a dealer in cars, and Jean Robinson a great violinist. I think that is all. But what about me ? exclaimed Snookie, haven't I any future ? Oh, I forgot two. Bob Humphries will follow in his father's foot- steps and, as for you, Snookie, you will be---. Snookie awoke and found it was very late. There lay her Ancient History note book before her, the page still as it had been. Just a dream! Oh well, I know something about the Oracle of Apollo and I wonder if the priestcss really spoke truly when she looked into the future of the Fourth Form students. Time alone will tell. Cllanahian QBBNIIP Bright Canadian Penny ,Whose 'home is everywhereg Bold in paternal Scotchman's care, And all the long year through The heir to rust and mildew. Is it that man is soon depressed 7 A thoughtless thing which, once unblessed, Docs little on his memory rest, Or in his pocket '? For many a year I travelled abroad- Over Held, over river, over bog. 'Oucc-, I was a shining pc-nny, But now, any lustre '? No, not any. -Charles Hicks.
