THE NORTHLAND ECHO 77 FORM III Something new happens here every day, But everything happens in good old IIIAg We're commercial students and from the start, We set about to win your heart. We have variety in our third form, For when Berta Thorpe walks by T-- Horn, 'I'here's usually something in the wind, And she won't stop till she catches him. And now we come to our smart Brunette, She is called by everyone, Laurette, She just has to stop and wink her eye, And it makes J- W-- fall in line. Now Irene Seguin who is very smart, Thought it wise for her to depart, Although she loved our dear IIIA, She works in Zeller's day 'by day. Buddy Avery is our pretty blonde, She and Mervin parade around And Elva Gittins who is in our class, Never works but sits and laughs. Donalda McLeod is very, very quiet, But never does her homework nights. In talent IIIA does not despair, For our Kay Trounsell takes the air. And Dorothy Dowdall also sings, She can trill to most anything, Thelma Fraser and Genevieve Wright, Never do know where to alight. And there we have third form in review, This commercial form bids you adieug We won't be with you another year, And we do hate to leave our Collegiate dear. -Irene Gauthier. CHIT CHAT Helen Carfagnini Well, it seems that the announcement made by Mr. Wallace concerning form parties didn't worry IIIA Commercial for very long. The party was held at the home of Berta Thorpe and there was music and dancing after everyone got tired tobogganing at Thibeault Hill. The girls brought their escorts and everyone had a wonderful time. Berta and a few of her friends served lunch and the party was brought to a close in the wee hours of the morning. Dear me! It seems that IHA is going to lose one of its best pupils. Irene Seguin has decided to leave us and join the staff at Zeller's. Of course we are glad to see her getting places but it seems that a liability for good old IIIA means an asset to Zeller's. However, we all wish her lots of luck with her new job. I suppose you all remember that old. old song, An Apple for the Teacher. Well, it seems some of the IIIA girls wanted to see how it would be if they acted it out. So when Mr. Foster came into the room one fine day and found a beautiful shiny red apple on his desk he picked up the note under it and read. An apple for the teacher. That seems the thing to do. Because we want to learn about romance from you. The class sat waiting patiently for him to say something but he thought it best to have out a good laugh first and then he promised us that he would at least see what he could do about it. I guess it was hopeless though because we are still waiting for that lesson. In case Mr. Foster has forgotten we hope this will remind him. During a. discussion on food products the other day, Miss Bennett asked If you were going in to buy a piece of neck in a butcher store, how would you ask for it? Pupil answered brightly- I wanna neck. IN TEACHERS Mustard but no Keene's Gardner but no garden Walker but no Walk Franklin 'but no Roosevelt Bennett but no I-Ion, R, B. Foster but no dentist JOKES Mr. Franklin: Is it illegal to run a marriage bureau? Yes. But is it illegal for a man to advertise in a newspaper for a wife? Then answering his own question and blushing furiously he explained hastily, 'Of course, I'm not con- sidering doing it. ' Mr. Franklin: Mr, Dionne used to run a sheep farm, eh? Helen Carfagnini to Dorothy D.: Yeah, but kids were more profitable. Irene Seguin-!In Miss Gardner's roomlz Gee, I feel a draught. Helen C.: Oh, don't mind that. It's ix-om the drafting room across the hall. Bernice Donaldson: Remember the guy who had this? flndicating a heart- shaped brooch on her dressy. Beatrice Russell - tInnocentlyJ: Uh, huh. Is he in the hospital now?

T8 THE NORTHLAND ECHO ON THE MOUNTAIN TOP IIIB Commercial Mr. Foster Dorothy Robinson DEDICATORY I want to be on some mountain peak, Hear the thunder roar, watch the light- ning streak Across the sky, with 3, blinding flash, VVhile the echoes rebound with a deafen- ing crash. I want to live on some mountain crest, And build a homc where the eagle's nest, Far off from the rushing noisy crowds, A haven of rest amid the clouds. And there on that sequestered dome, I'll live in peace. no more to roarn, Free as the birds that soar on high: Secluded I'll live until I die. And there will I forever rest, Just lay my head on Mother Nature's breast, My path will be short when I hear the call, Just a step or two from my mountain tall. WE WONDER Why Elsie Moore waited till March to give Mary a New Year's card. Why snickering comes from Bernice when she holds a tiny black book before her. Why Beatrice carries that same little black book with her and jots down a few things now and then. Who suggested The Duchess for Dorothy R. and why? How Mary gets such good marks when I never opened a book, Slight intelli- gence, I'd say. Why Mr. Foster finds the girls of IIIA so nice. Surely not any special attraction. Of could it be that apple???? Why Dora blushed so terrible when she told Mr. Foster that she didn't have any dates. Not very good at telling lies, eh Dora? Why Pearl Letts wanted to know who a certain Cockburn is in IIB Vocational. Genevieve Wright keeps a stern watch on a few of the special corridors around here. Why Donalda McLeod comes in at the last minute every day. Why Beatrice Russell has been so cheerful lately. Is it all patched up Bea, or is it a new one? Miss McNamara: If you are a new 4-mployc in an office how should you go about finding things out without bothering thc otherstoo often? Thr-lma Fraser: Figure it out for yourself. To our dear friend Arthur Duquette who left our class to earn his living in the business wor1d. -By Preece,ancl Gigg. Our friend Duquette has gone away: I-Ie's gone away from here to stay. He may come back some other day To his friend DeMarco in the Bay. Poor Duquette is working hard: He's many feet below the ground. His hands are getting rough and tough. It shows Art's made of the proper stuff. But soon the work will get him down Because he has no time to fool: For when a letter comes from Al He wishes they were playing pool. SPORTS FLASH He shoots: he scores! Yes, IIIB Com. whizzed their way into the position of champions in the Senior Interform Hockey League of the school. The 'bril- liant players consisted of practically all the form, due to the fact that there are only fifteen boys in the class. Yes, the old saying goes, Bright boys are good hockey players. Our lboys were using the lbrain as well as the brawn. Special Com. Miss McNamara THEY SAY: Ethel Locke Alvin Ashford: What time is it? Christina Beatty: Hello little glrl. Mr. Foster: Now, will yo-u write? Muriel Watson: Well, well, imagine that! Bill Biggs: Let's put up the window. Tom Horn: I washed my hair, and I can't do a thing with it.
