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 .
