Take up our efforts where we have drop- ped them, surpass them, strive ever toward perfection. You know, when we stepped into this school for the hrst time a feeling of awe swept over us. During our five years here this feeling has been over- shadowed by a stronger one of familiarity. But now that we are leaving it, awe again fills our hearts. Oh, it's not the building, though we are proud to have such had a line one. No, it's not the building, but it's the spirit with- in the building. It's a spirit of co-operation, of friendliness, a spirit of good- fellowship. And now we're leaving it. But we're not leaving it forever. We will be back. It may be many years before our class is gathered here together again as it is to-night, but some day we hope it will be. And so, until then, on behalf of the graduating class of 1939, may I wish the school, and the teachers, and the students every success. Thank you. IN MEMORIAM OF MISS WETHERALD By Joyce Gordon, GRADE rx. One day just as the maiden spring was entering the year, There fell asleep a gentle friend, a friend so loved and dear, That in the hearts of all who knew her sweet and smiling face, Will leave the fragrant memories of simple charm and grace. Her soul was like a garden where there was wont to grow The sweetest thyme and lavender, beloved of long ago. And with her loving hands she lucked the weeds from out the soil, And kindest thoughts and worcfg and deeds were products of her toil. And many other souls like hers did flourish in her care, And every day in some poor heart she planted lavender. 'Tis not by boisterous, brazen things, nor feats of brawn and dare, But by the sweet and simple things that we remember her.

THE PELHAM PNYX 79 HUMOUR The woman who fired 5 times at her husband wants him to return home -she misses him so. We wonder: If our English teacher is a book-worm, is our Geometry teacher an angle-worm? The English class was asked to write an account of a ball game. The following composition was handed in by Ray Collyer- Rain, No Game. FOR SALE-Two tame, well-educated mice Cthey have been through our high schoolD. Apply 3rd Form. As the ink said to the pen: Oh, you dip. Don: Why did the little mouse leave home? Donna: Because his father was a rat. A Scotsman from the remote Highlands paid his hrst visit to London. On arriving at Euston a voice said, Taxi, sir? The fellow shook his head. After exploring London our Scots friend went on to Bristol. On emerg- ing from the station he heard the familiar hail: Taxi, sir? No, thank ye, he bawled. I said 'Nol' in London and l meant it. Now stop following me about. Father: Johnny, what is this '6o' on your report card? Johnny: I-I-Ith-think that's the temperature of the schoolroomf' Father: Well, Willie, what did you learn at school to-day? Willie CproudlyD: I learned to say Yes, sir, and No, sir, and Yes Ma'am, and NO, Ma'am . Father: You did! Willie: Yeah ' 1 As one hole in the ground said to the other hole in the ground: Gee, l feel empty inside! One mouse said to another mouse: Oh , you squealer! A small boy at school for the first time began to sob bitterly. What's the matter, sonny? asked the teacher. Please, Miss, l don't like school, and I've to be here till I'm 14. Oh, don't worry about that, said the teacher, l've to be here till I'm 65! ' Ted: Teacher says I have an inventive genius.' Mrs. Guinn Cbeamingy Splendid! And what did she say you could in- vent? Ted: New ways of spelling words. Diagrams are delicate things just below the ribs, and above the stomach.
