THE NORTHLAND ECHO 63 Mr. Firth would die of fright .Our answers scare him so. But through it all we stand intact, United in a group. Our fame is an established fact In the intellectual loop. When our successors read this poem In a thirtieth century storm They will compare with Caesar's Rome The fame of our Fifth Form. Miss Duff: Does this train stop at South River, conductor? Conductor: Well, if it doesn't there'll be quite a splash. Parashat: Miss Hamer: How do they make the silk of a parachute strong enough to support the weight of a jumper. Russ. Stephenson Cundertonel They feed the silkworms spinach! XA COMM. MISS A. WALKER MARION FERGUSON, Rep. Two girls standing in the corridor having a little chat. Miss Gardner has a special crush on I. O'Hare. How come? She wanted her to stay after four so they can walk arm in arm around the corridors. Miss Walker, talking to Iris Stevenson: What happened to your arm, Iris? I fell and sprained it yesterday. I think that's just as bad as a break, don't you.', I don't knowg I haven't tried that yet. IIA CommerciaI's Overseas Box During the month of October and Novem- ber the pupils of IIA Comm. have experienced the joy of preparing an overseas box. They put forth every effort to assist the issue. There is one point which I wish and must emphasize and that is IIA's knitting. It is lovely. Scarves, wristlets, and socks have literally been pouring in. The knitting shows pains-taking care. They have done and I am sure that they are still doing marvellously with their war work. Into our box went food, knitted articles, to- bacco and shaving articles. We fully intend to send out another box later on and it will be even better than the first. We only hope that Sapper Robert Colyer, to whom it was sent, en- joys receiving it as much as we have enjoyed collecting and packing t.he material. BY ERIN L1-:E Between you and me Going into Mr. Baker's room one day, found broken-hearted written in extra large letters on the board. Mr. Baker, in his dramatic way: Now girls, I donit mean youf, - XB COMM. MR. R. E. FRANKLIN KEN LOCKE, Repre. Ten Years Hence H9155 That will be the day Tony Celentino becomes a grad. Louie Nunner grows two inches. Cecil Cole starts to shave. Moe Otto comes to school on time. Rodney McAuley's hair turns white. Beryl Enborg does her homework. Lorne Smiley is either the Outdoor Boy or Fresh Air Fiend . He likes the windows open. Robert Gillies wants to know if the flight of time is speeded by the spur of the moment. Why do all the female teachers call Grant Darling by his first name? XI COMM. MR. J. E. BAKER Eleanor Rennick, Representative. 1940-41 Wanted: Wanted by Jack White Some one to love, Some one to kiss and caress, Some one who'll keep all my buttons sewed on, And see that my clothes are in press. Wanted by D. Baldassaro Some one to love, Some one to boss and guide, Who can cook, and scrub, and use the wash tub, And lug all the coal in besides. Wanted by A. Rivet Some one to love, Some one to hug and to squeeze, Some one to blame and never complain.

Mr. Firth CTO V Form Chem. Classjz This class reminds me of Koffee Hag-90W of the active element has been removed from the bean. Easy, Next Time Miss Jackson: What's this line? Justice: Oh, that's a perpendicular I drop- ped.'7 Miss Jackson: Well donit let it fall so heavily next time, it's all bent. Intelligence A budding First Former desiring to show off her new found knowledge in Algebra asked: what does IB and 1B make? Wel1,,' answered the Fifth Form Biology student after due deliberation, Off-hand I'd say they made honey. It Can't Be Love Cherico For the last three nights I've been dreaming of Marceauf' Duquette, Oh! So you've been having nightmaresf' Not so good Miss Hamer CAfter Brovim finishes reading his compositionj According to your style, Brown, our age is later than the middle age. In fact one might call it the 'muddle' age. Could Be Mr. Firth: Now we will name the relative of a buttercup. Herman: Er-I guess he means Toots and Casper. Weather Along the Halls Mrs. Hoey: Cool to-day and for the rest of the term. Miss Hamer: Cool to-day with scattered thunder storms. Miss Gliddonz Fair to-day, to-morrow who knows? Miss Jackson: Fair to-day and to-morrow. Mr. Dewar: A steady cool breeze. Mr. Firth: Fair to-day and to-morrow with unexpected outbursts. Mr. Wallace: Fair with unexpected changes to either extreme. Simple? Marceau asked Mr. Wallace for a day off. A day off,', said Mr. Wallace. Don't you know that every day is a holiday. There are 365 days in a year. You sleep 8 hours a day or 122 days a year, that leaves 243 days. Your summer holidays are 3 months or 90 days, that leaves 153 days. Your Xmas and Easter holi- days take in 20 days there are now only 133 days left. There are about 6 other Civic holi- days, leaving 127 days. You have lk hours off for dinner, that is 23 days which leaves 104 days. You have Saturday and Sunday off mak- ing the remaining 104 days. So since all you do is loaf you can do it here as well as any- other place. Special Boners I will live on like the tide. So hereis our line up for the year, Our Fifth Form personnel, From the student in the highest gear To the lowest ne'rdowell. Ruby Parr has quite a brain, And Barlow has one too, But the teacher's heart is filled with pain, When Chirico is through. Yours truly is the biggest pain Hels worse than Chirico And right behind him like a train Came Nicol and Marceau. In science class we are a blight: If it weren't for a guy named Moe
