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.

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.

RIETHOD Get us to school at 9 o'clock Cif possiblej Make sure we have our homework done the night before. Stop Bliss Wfhite from looking at our homework. Deposit us in Ill: Legon's room- where he anxiously awaits to solve all our problems-domestic. economi- cal and international. Let us part according to will or necessity. Bring ns together again in the after- noon. Note reaction created by teaching: -Lb Ancient History. Listen carefully to answers hlr. Henry gets to his quizzes. .Xllow to rest during literature period. Note examination results. RESULTS There is a law of attraction for all except Ingram, he repels. There would not be so much wear and tear on a few favoured books the next morning. French period will run oil' more smoothly and many arms would be saved from the strain of extra writing. ltfr. Legon enters smiling but, sad to relate. the smile is soon replaced by a frown when he hears our origin- al translations consisting of a grunt. Things begin to pick up for usually one teacher can handle one or two of us. but three or four of us, never. Same eHect-not always pleasing to the teachers. YVhat is the use of remembering an ancient history date when I can make a modern one at a quarter after 8. So original that even Mr. Henry is astounded at our intellectual powers. We sleep peacefully on with never a care until the bell rings. and then do we show action! We rush home with the good news that the teacher of 4b has decided to retain our services for another year. COYCLUSION:-Have I or have-n't I proved that we are smart? Do I need to dis- close any more of the private life of 4b to show you that we are unequalled in ANY line of endeavour?
