THE NORTHLAND ECHO 79 Mr. Foster became rather angry. Throw- ing down his book, he exclaimed, Miss Kimberley, just what do you do with your nights, anyway . . . Oh well. Miss McNamara: Martin, what have you in your mouth? Martin: My toiguef' Miss McNamara: Well, don't you know you are not supposed to chew it like that. Martin still wonders how one IS sup- posed to chew one's tongue. Sylvia: That's nice material in your new jacket. Ashford: Do you like it? Sylvia: Yes, and I like the colour, too. It's too bad you couldn't get your Smeg., Elva: did she give you a dirty look. ' Marjorie: Who? Elva: Mother Nature. Honest, didn't Miss Mustard look cute with that velvet bow in her hair? Archie works in a downtown book store. One day a gentleman came in to buy a pen. Archie showed him one, and asked him to try it. The man covered a page with the words Tempus Fugit. Archie came along with another pen and said, Maybe you'd like this one better, Mr. Fugit. No, Archie's all right. POME Slippery ice-very thing Poor Vera-tumbled ing Saw a fella-on the bank, Gave a shriek-then she sank: Tom on hand-heard her shout, Jumped right in-pulled her out: Now he's hers-very nice: But she had-to break the ice. SPECIALS BRIGHT SAYING: If I were an echo, just for a joke, I'd yell at some guy before he spoke. Once Daisy Mae Beatty, quite shy, Said this to a student named Cy, Lf you kiss me, of course You will have to use force, But thank heaven, you're stronger than I. wHA'r's SPECIAL ABOUT SPECIAL She takes pride in her gramophone, And keeps time with her feet, While playing records as we groan To have them changed toute suite. We think she hails from Dixie Land, The way she plays that tune, We type away to beat the band, The end comes none too soon. Archie Clarke, our typing champ, Plans to help the cause, And buy new records- the little scamp - Or order some from Santa Claus. Edna Smith is not so tall, In fact she's pretty short, But in the game of basketball, We see she's quite a sporta. Edna has just one hope, To see her Clyde on ice, And here we know a periscope Would help her out quite nice. Miss Mustard warns Biggs, our movie star, He's not the janitor in the school, Leave the windows the way they are, And keep this as a golden rule. She tells us all to watch our stance, And breathe the best of air, But how are we to get a chance, W'hen there isn't any there? Mr. Franklin shows the way To use our brains and get ahead, And legal methods to make 'em pay, And keep our books without the Red. He claims we're very lazy, Dunces, so he fears: Special hasn't been like this, He says, for years and years. The favourite words of Mr. Wert, Refer to those who talk, And to his room at four we go, To sit without a squawk. He tries his best to memorize, Which names go with which faces, But how's he to remember, If we sit in different places? Miss Walker likes to have our views, They're few, we must confess, VVe do our best to answer, When ,we don't know, we guess. So Specials not so special. As you can plainly see, But gee, we have a lot of fun, I guess you'll all agree. -Lafontaisie and Martin,

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. Edith Roynon: Do you know what he's talking about? Ethel Locke: So I ain't neat! Archie Clarke: Guess I'll go to school today. Or will I? Margaret Robertson: I wish I had my book here, I wish. Bob Wyatt: Go ahead, I'm awake. CHATTER It really happened-Spelling period in Miss Mustard's room. Biggs: What's that funny smell in here? Wyatt: Oh that! Why that's fresh air. As usual Audrey Kimberley didn't liavc hcr shorthand homework donc, and
