S6 of those nasal tenors in the person of George i'Hillbilly', Hall. Together with a quintet - five to the uninitiated - com- posed of Scott. Rogers. llorgan. Dawson and Irwin. you will probably agree that we are a motley collection of individuals. I think it was Bobby Burns who said the best laid plans of mice and men gang aft aglcyf' Our greatest enjoyment is to see a well laid plan made by a well known Algebra instructor for the express purpose of trapping some unwary student. work out differently than expected, much to the chagrin of the teacher concerned and thc amusement of the students who feel that for once they have outwitted the mathametical master-mind. If I have neglected to mention any one whom I should. and I just remembered p Ebe. 'Echoes Gordon Johnston and his friend Harry Vass, a food sampler of no mean ability, I hope that I shall be pardoned, both by the students themselves and by those who may read this feeble attempt at de- scribing the members of a form so varied as 5-A. To prophesy the future of such a group would be a hazard. ltlost of them will go far-the farther the better. And now I have finished this account, one with which the few who read it will be doubtless bored, may I say, When you're looking for the best And for those who'll stand the test Do not waste your time away, Try 5-Af, J IRI Monnow, 5A. , Y.

Needless to say. we are a widely diversified group. Qualifica- tions of our members range all down the line from the brilliant few to those with just common horse sense. While not being as great in numbers as the boys. the fair sex of our illus- trious fo1'm comp1'ise a division which must be considered Hrst. Looking around t.he room. one can not help but see the perplexed faces of two young ladies. Edna Ashbury and YVhipple Kelly. who are no doubt deep in the solution of an intricate problem in Alge- bra. And then there is llarion Harvey whose time is divided between the count- ing of a collection of volumes second only to those carried by our good friend lNIr. Pettit and the reading of manuscripts bearing the postmark Kingston, As there are two institutions in Kingston, we hope you choose the right one. To claim a human chatter box is a doubtful honor but Helen Steer adds much to the conversation of our form. YVe also consider it an honor to have as a class mate Alice Darling. Prineeps Alumna. There is one disturbing influence among us. It really is disconcerting to have a distinctly raucous belle interrupt our peaceful thoughts. The belle brings trouble. To Mr. Zavitz, the tedious busi- ness of marking a register which is almost as perplexing as some of his trigonometry problems, together with the entrace of Sherry Bond who seldom fails to arrive earlier than ten minutes late, is a morn- ing's work in itself. lt is remarkable to note the manner i11 which we carry onu in Olll' classes. Since most of us are usually financially embarrassed, the gold standard and the condition of our money marts occasions no worry for us-with possibly one ex- ception. One member in particular who is invariably without funds Finds delight in displaying such amounts as he may oc- casionally have. His demonstrations take place for the most part in the literature class. Probably the Scotch atmosphere prompts him to count his money. I shall not mention his name except to say that he treats a dime as if it were a Barr,' of silver. Truly he belies his ancestry. YVe are fortunate, or unfortunate, as the case may bc to have as members of our form a Beau Brummel in the per- son of George Sedgewick, the man of the derby hat, and 5-A's gift to the ladiesf' Jack Couper. A. Blacpherson further contributes to the prestige of this splen- did aggregation of scholastic supermen. YVe are proud of the fact that we have such an array of talent in Olll' midst. Of singers we have the best. Besides claim- ing the lead in our operetta. GriHin Young, there has been forced upon us one

Iilll writing in honour of Form -IA, You see us prolonging each hour of the day, since we are clever and have many brains, But I'll give some advice on our boys and our dames. We have 0116 little boy who is Green and not yellow, And our O1'llllB VVei1'.', who is quite a good fellow, We also have IVhite who always looks blue IVTA But can he read Shakespeare. I'm asking you. And now for our girls who. of course. have much class. I'm sure if you saw them, you'd say they would pass, Now take our Marg. Lundy and our hIary ltfac. VVhen they're out together, they nothing do lack. There are two other hIarg's who are down on our list, They are Hadden and Jackson. they must not be missed, For each day of the week their -home- work they do, So the rest of the class is sure to get through. g Although I have missed some in our per- fect class. I think that this poetry, tho' awful. should pass, So again I'll remind you that this is al- A, And if you like to see us. comc up some day.
