58 THE NORTHLAND ECHO FORM IB This is the story of Form IB. It is made up of girls and teacher you see: The girls in the form are not smart for their size And if awards were out-given thcy'd take the prize. First there comes Marg Beatty, The kids call her Beets, She loves to stick gum On the backs of the seats. Next Edith Firth, so meek and mild, Tall Betty Russell, a talkative child, Jean and Doretta, the McGillivray girls. Nelda Zufelt, the one with the curls. Next Mabel Smith, our basketball ace: Loving Gwen Darling, and her Smiling face: Gloria with her red hairy Connie and Shirley, the perfect pair. Some have forgotten why it's little meg No need to worry, I'm perfect you see, These girls are just a few, So to you all, toodlesee-oo. THE RED CROSS SLEIGH DRIVE Our Junior Red Cross members Held a sleighing party one night, It was a glorious evening And the moon was shining bright. The sleighs were great 'big flat ones, Covered over with hay, , 'Mid shouting, singing and laughing, VVe started on our way. The merry sleigh bells jingled As the horses pranced along, And soon the air about us VVas filled with bits of song. Soon on and off the sleighs we went Into the piles of snow, And many were running away behind As on the horses would go. After a jolly ride Out to the jail and around, We discovered that each and every one A large appetite had found. The table laden with beans and things VV4s a ve-ry welcome sight, And table manners were thrown to the wind As we ate our lunch that night. THANKS FOR THE MEMORY Thanks for the memory Of school in old North Bay Every single day, NVith pupils here and pupils there, ' All who were so gay. How lovely it was. Thanks for the memory Of dreams in our French class Of green trees and of grass, When teachers cried in agony, MV heavens what a class! How lovely it was. Many times we were detained, And many the time we were let free, But oh what a time we had attained. VVe didn't learn much In Science and such, Of teachers 'by the score Increasing more and more, The crossest ones and the fiercest ones Never were a bore. I thank you so much.
