She was tripping lightly tl0W11 the hall when she collided gently with Elma Moffat, who was apparently jay walking, tthinking of Smithj. They were instantly en- grossed in handing out apologies when a hurricane sauntered down the hall i11 the torm of Alma llilburn who inquired. with the greatest indifference, if there was any homework that should have been done for to-day. Elsie Blartin bounced up, and upon close inspection. it was disclosed one orb was tinted a pale blue. She fell over a straw-those things are immense you know.

A good pair are Edna Revoy and Violet Watkins. Ednais wit is excruciating, while Violet's is a doleful cheerfulness and after the first period she is willing to call it a day.

THE' ECHAES J: J' 1f-- 'lf 1, 1. Lillian Hardy, Joyce Forsythe and Isabel Hartley, who were aided by a trio, being- Dorothy French with the drums, and Helen Gough and Dorothy Freeman playing Jew's harps. The audience were now about to give us The Bird as Eddie Cantor would say, but were electrified by the appearance of-Gwynneth Campbell, with,-of all things! --a one-man band! While watching Gwelfs struggles to perform this marvellous feat, 1 leaned forward in my seat, and found myself falling-falling-falling-WHOOPSl l I've hit the floor! I look around me and see that-AH-what a relief! 'Twas all but a dream! M argrrret Goodley, IIA Commercial. 1155 Commercial OLKS, you ask who is that group marching into Miss Henry's room? Why that is IIB Commercial-and to tell you the truth you donlt know what you have been missing, so let's get acquainted. The first is Donna White, a very shy girl, and the next is Helen Rowland, noted for her musical laugh. That little giggly girl is none other than Pat Scollard and the next is Norma May, a champion-why, of course- giggler. A ' The two Margarets-Sullivan and Munden-are usually quarrelling over the opposite sex as can be seen by their faces, while Dot Waldie, the next in line, is usually chosen to make peace between them. The rest of the girls, Phyllis Pink, Phyllis Starr, Lorraine Vass, Joyce Wills, Margaret Marshall and Peggy Primeau are all little and big imps but the Blonde Venus QHazel Palmerj has them all beaten to a frazzle. Let us turn now to the other sex and I will point them out to you. The first in line is Harkley, fPest, in other wordsl. He is followed by Ash and Kennedy, the two who are going to put Bing Crosby out of business. That boy rcornbing his hair is Lomax-cute little dear, is he not? Those three weeny fellows are Peel, Dier and Mackay. Is that Daddy Long Legs? No he is Menzies and the next is Rusaw, the roorn's genius. The one laughing findeed he ish is Cruickshanks. The short little fellow is Parkington, and the next is Houghton, a smart chap indeed, if he would try. That tall outstanding boy is Parker, and the last one is Jordan, a quiet peace- ful fellow, and so we are at the end, so au revoir! folks. A,V,L, I , gf Rf U ' ' ' ' 17 . . X lam df .

' Ruth Broclrwell, IA. 155 lcabemic DEAR READERS: A Out of the spirit of meanness, I have taken it upon myself to write this im- peachable anecdote of the doings of my notorious form. When we hear the high-pitched rattle of the bell we wander in an indolent man- ner to our seats, and after opening ceremonies of yawning, stretching, andgroaning, fall into the morning coma. - The day being Tuesday we 'are tampered with by a Normal Student.i By the end of the dismal period, Mr. Bamforth knows that student and pupils know nothing of Botany. We next go to Physical Torture where hlr. Craig tries to mould our puny physiques after Mr. Bamforth's. This is quite impossible. In a state of utter fatigue and exhaustion we climb the dizzy height of stairs to the lantern-room. Mr. Richardson finds to his disgust that this illustrious form knows nothing about his work and less about that of previous Geography teachers. During Algebra Mr. Brown teaches us to solve many very diflicult and baffling problems. E. G.:-If A. broke 1000 false-teeth which is equal to the number of rattles in B's wubmobile CModel TJ find how much 'C. would contribute toward the construction of a single-span bridge from Halifax to Liverpool.
