LIP with a BROWN liquid that BURNIES. Then he BURROWS his FLEMING h'ad in his COLE hands and began to yell, I wish I was RICH- ARD. Then he looked on the ground and found a RING tand hel ROSE to his feet crying, It's all WRIGHT. Things We Have 'n' Haven't Hamtmler but no nails Aitken but no pain Meeking but no coward Fleming but no cold Clark but no pork and beans Garland but no flowers Jacque but no Jill Richardson but no furniture store Freedman but no slaves Wright but no wrong Burrows but no donkey Owen' but no debts Phillips but no magnesia Guerney but no cow Burnie but no stove Smith but no coughdrops Brown but no white Paterson but no Durrell Richards but no poor. WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF uloria R. could tell a new joke? Freda F. got rid of her cold and could do her French homework? Bernice R. wasn't so slaphappy and didn't like everybody? Marion A. ever said anything without using big words? Marg. O. stopped giving her hymn card to the boy in front of her who didn't have one? Skippy didn't tell us the Happy Gang's Goon stories every day at noon. Miss Morgan: There isn't one of us that doesn't admire beauty. Frances S.: That's why I love myself so much. Mary K. didn't do her Algebra home- work every night? Merle R. wasn't so tall? Winnie G. would pronounce her French instead of spelling it. What the Teachers Say to Us ' Miss Gliddon: Doris, if you can only sit on one side, why don't you make it the other one so you won't be facing Frances? Mrs. Hoey: Now girls, don't waste a minuteg you could be learning a vocabu- lary. Miss Hamer: Now you girls get down to some real hard concentration. Mr. Cleland: Pipe down. IIIB Mary Fleming Our form IIIB's a pretty good class, VVe all hope that someday we'll be lucky and pass Q73 In Physics, Miss Wales says there's lots of doubt, Algebra needs thought so is practically out. Our Latin marks go from the top to the bottom, And as far as French marks, well, We just haven't got them. In History we wish that someone had forgotten To tell about Marathon Sparta and Athens. About Composition Miss Hamer will say That we'll never be authors for many a day. At last comes our Literatureg dull most of the time, Why the poems in Abe Lincoln don't ever rhyme! And so I close on our blooming 3rd form And will guarantee fun till exams start to storm.

Taylor: I can't3 my ancestors were apes. The topic was the comparing of the prices of men's and wornen's clothes.

VVigston: I've got three sisters. A FRENCH PERIOD Theres a scuffle going on ahead. It's VViggy and Martin throwing lead. West and Cummings fight it outg Torrance and Godin start a bout. Sadie and Miriam scratch and spitg June and Lila growl a bit. Peaver and Holmes gab and grin, Duquette swings at Taylor as he sticks out his chin. Mr. Hardwick lays lustily about, But a flying book gives him a lusty clout. The teacher is hit on the chin By a spitball aimed at Gwendolyn. He jumps in the air with a shriek and a roar, And goes off his nut for evermore. JUST A VERSE Lowry's perpetual motion, VVigston's continu'd commotion, And Cummings' ever ready asides Break the peace that always abides In Mr. Hardwick's IIIA Form. With teachcr's ever warning storm VVe need some new and waking thought From boring subjects always taught. dhmvfa ?'scsai ssichtol'ssT IIIB Collegiate Miss L. Hamer R.

She didn't have it before she went to London. Why Betty E. blushes so sweetly when anybody mentions Archie? Why E. Meeking has found such a sudden interest in dancing. They say he's a jitterbug. Why did Dorothy Burrows change the words of a popular song to, When I walk I like to walk with Reggie. That's what we wondered till we heard about a certain lad who lives on Sixth Ave. THEME SONGS OF IIIB Anita Burnie- Oh Johnny. Eleanore Jacques- Hold Tight.
