ANONYMOUS. Ebiro Tform Commercial News OYND and round she goes. and comes up here-with third form news!! .Xcross our imaginary stage Hit the model pupils of our beloved class. First comes the tall willowy form of lfenzies. picking his dainty steps across to the window or maybe to the back of the typing room. Next. before our very eyes. we see Phyllis Starr and the Crooner Cruikshanks. their voices lifting and thrilling to that thrilling tune of School Daysf' and joined in the chorus by clever young llackey. Peel and the formis bass baritone. Parker. whose voice booms on to the bitter e11d. Then. lo and behold. is a lovely figure perched on the balcony- well if it isn't-yes sir! Juliet Armstrong and below. as we follow her gaze is Romeo Houghton. There is Grant and Dyer Singing like the birdies singf' accom- panied by Helen Delahaye at the piano. YYcll. there are Irma Beatty and Kay Thackeray. the form's tap-dancers-and Gerry Busaw ready to save the fair dam- sels in case of an accident or to pull the curtain for them. Then come the form's movie actresses. lfargaret ltfarshall as Greta, Garbo and Eleanor Delahaye as Jean Harlow. Wie now have our clever lassies Helena Gough and Lillian Hardie who seem good in everything. As for Jean King and Theresa Corbett. no one could beat them as bookkeepers. There is Alice Belfry. in her gym costume - her lithe form jerking through the exercises at the gym teacher's instructions. Then the scene changes. the sun is beaming down on the peaceful room own- ed and sometimes operated by INI1: Col- lingwood. The usual silence becomes strained-too strained for some girls and is broken by the crunching of a set of teeth on a badlv mangled niece of gum owned by Blyrtle Larmer. Then teacher's eyes focus on the familiar rise and fall of lIyrt's jaw and she has to throw it into the yawning mouth of the waste paper basket, To one side is llable Clarke. Beta Butler and sometimes Dorothy French relating the gossip of the day in hilarious fashion. In one corner is Gladys Cowan. two or three aisles over is Jean Nichols- too bad. isn't it?

From Bill, our bearded man. down to Sammie our inspiration, we are one of the most remarkable forms that ever adorned the school desks with initials. Naturally like all our predecessors we have several wits and one or two nit-wits in the form. However. I am pleased to announce that with the last of the Sedge- wicks in our form the latter element is dying out. This is one of his choicest witticisms: D. Penrose I a peddler at the back door of a housel- Any empty bottles to sell madam?,' Housewife fabruptlyj- No. do I look as if I drank soda? D. Penrose- All right then, any vine- gar bottles?', Our next attempt at humour comes from a witfillz He: Isn't it about time baby called me dadclyiv' She: No dear, I've decided not to lct him know until the little darling gets a little stronger. Alas. dear reader, you will be thinking by this time that our form is made up of light-headed people. but you are mis- taken. One look into our grim. set faces as we strive to prove a brain-twisting geometry question. would prove that you were wrong. Our girls would be a source of pride to any form. Brains. bravvn and beauty are well represented by Yvilda Saunders. lNIarg Wlood and Doreen YVallis. Olga Wlestbye is a poetess of no mean ability and other feminine members of our form are all of the very best. In closing let me leave with you a list of our aiectionate names.

Another Special Commercial Comment goes to press and to start off our little scandal sheet aright a brief resume of its personalities and their ac- tivities might be in order. 1936 being leap year, Special Com- mercial is right in tune with the times. There are four girls for every boy in the room. Just think of the poor harassed young things trying to keep their date- books straight. Along comes Gordon Gunsolus. the oily-tongued salesman of the form. Gus is contemplating accepting an offer to sell washing machines when he graduates. According to Gus. this washing machine does everything connected with the wash- ing except run down to the corner store and buy the soap! Gord. is a basketball player of no mean ability, too. Dominic O'Donohue. the dashing young dude from Dummer is the damsels' de- light. George Huot. the Romping Romeo. is another misunderstood male.
