THE NORTHLAND ECHO 73 Miss Hamer would appreciate any information she could get on a certain puzzling subject. Shakespeare claims that the centre of one's affections then was the liver. Miss Hamer would like to know if they used livers on Valentines instead of hearts. Anyone know? If so, Miss Hamer is waiting to be enlightened. VTH Who says our fifth is not the best? Why of course we far exceed the rest! No form's pupils are quite so bright Nor are we' exceeded in wit or might. Ask any teacher and they can tell How all our homework t'?l we do so well. But casting all these jokes aside, Now of our pupils we will chide. Fifth Form's pupils are large and small, Some are short and some are tall. We have the famous McGonegal twins, VVho are as much alike as two straight pins, Doc Wyatt is our man with wings Who skims the air as the wind does sing, Eleanor Jennings Miss Gliddon can never find And Whitham, Hall, Duff and Cummings all have a hockey mind. They are the backbone of our team VVhile Vinette with his orations is a scream, Daisy is our Guiding Light in the show, And Cherico, Willoughby and Rosevear make our orchestra go. Misses McDonald, McCubbin, McAughey are all Scotch lasses VVho uphold Bonny Scotland in our classes. Misses McGibbon and Robertson in Biology shine So Mr. Firth thinks they are quite fine. Rivet at Latin is a whizz Just as Helen McGillivray in basketball is. So you see why Vth is best VVith these above and all the rest, Our classes echo with wit and zest And so make us by far the best. , TO THE TEACHERS Please don't interrupt us Where there are stars in our eyes Can't you see it shows We're dreaming of some bluer skies Where water flows And no clams or flies Are there to bother us? History and Trig and all that junk Are far, far away In some unknown dump. Music makes our bodies sway The jitterbugs begin to jump And we have fun all the day Instead of sitting like a bump. On a log in a chemistry lab Chlorine etc. floating around Or listening to a teacher gab About Caesar's army holding ground We would rather nab A chance to travel roqnd In dreams to far off lands. Again I plead to you Don't wake us up just to say So and so you will do This French for class next day We don't care if vous means you Or me. So if I may I'd like to say, Keep quiet, do! WHY? Why should we have to learn All thase subjects each in turn? French which we may never use, So why bother to parlez-vous g Geometry with all its detail Certainly can make one fail, Biology with its buttercup we find Is another subject for the grind. Why worry how many fins a perch does own Or whether an ant lives in a colony or alone. Trig, with its sine, tan, and cot Certainly can muddle one a lot, Modern History we find quite old With Napoleon and Louis in its fold. What does it matter who won the war, Or whether Britain won all the lore? Physics is as puzzling as can be, With all its silly formulae, Chemistry with its awful smell Makes our poor heads often swell. Why do we learn of gold and lead And other things just as dead? Algebra also makes our heads go round With all its book work, deep and sound. Caesar and Livy develop our Roman frown And Latin Grammar gets us down. Literature and Comp. never thrill us much As we learn of Shakespeare and the such. So everyone looks forward to the day When we'll be going on our way Leaving at last our dear old class To join perhaps the working mass, Then school we'll find was not so vile And fond memories will make us smile So we will often wish we could return To that dear old class where we did learn.

Just in case you were wondering why IIA's tunics are so short-ask Miss Denyes. Barbara: Iris, what is your favorite saying? Iris: You should know. You're with me enough. Barbara: Do you think I would put that in the magazine. WVhat we would like to know: lVhat happened to all the notes Shirley received from the other side of the room. Why Barbara and Connie insist on walking down the second floor hall. What effect the fair-haired boy in the second row has on the red-haired girl in the first row. Although we cannot find any more news for the magazine we are sure to make ourselves noticed at all banquets and school activities. VVe are very sorry to announce that one of our Vocational teachers is greatly in debt. During one of the Literature periods: Mr. McCann: Name one of the birds mentioned in the story. Barbara: The Penguin. Mr. McCann fangrilylz I'll give you one hundred dollars if you can find the word penguin in the story. Fraser. On the bottom of this page penguin is written twice. Mr. McCann: It will just have to be a life-time debt. Patricia: The cow. For slow catchers-on the correct answer is grass. Form IIIA Voc. Miss Denyes Eva Stevens 3A'S HIT PARADE 1.

Helen Snowdy has the class puzzling their brains 473 when she hums, If I Had My Way. 5. Has Helen Sweezey a secret when she sings Tomorrow Night ? 6. Eileen's favorite song is Billy. I wonder why. 1. Miss Bennett giving an example of a food quiz programme: What is broccoli? Barbara: I know, a type of maca- roni. 2. Mr, Thomson speaking of the mileage indicator on a car: You've seen the indicator on your car, Helen? Helen Sweezey: We haven't a car. Mr. Thomson: Well anyone's car, or are you too busy to notice it. 3. Demarco was so interested in learning from Jean the secrets of How to Keep a Girl Friend, that he didn't make a very large protest when he was given seven questions to answer, was it that interesting Al? 4. Eva Stevens describing a certain person's baby to the class says, He looks very much like his father, but he hasn't his father's moustache of course. 5. During English period Hall was busily engaged in chewing a match stick. Miss Mustard seeing Hall's hobby exclaimed, Hall, please pass the toothpicksf'
