THE Ecnoas g g A Y MY i W 85 class who told Mr. Henry that the reason mushrooms look like umbrellas is because they grow in damp places? We'll never tell! I'm afraid I haven't room to extol further the virtues and accomplishments of the rest of the illustrious citizenry of VA, but keep an eye on Walter Winchell's column or the Reform School News in the next five years. You'll be hearing about us, no doubt. YOUR GIRL FRIDAY Form VB Academic OYS: Noel Barr, Murray Gates, Jim Hall, Joe Hiland, Tom Hooper, Fred Hooper, Russell Huggins, Bill King, Don Miller, Guy Pettersone, Horace Steer, Bill Turner, Eric West, Harvard White, Don XVood. Girls: Verna Allen, Jean Clarkson, Phyllis Dawson, Jean F lett, Margaret Harris, Isobel King, Margaret Lundy, Phyllis Nesbitt, Olive Parrington, Rita Sproule, Mary Staples, Marie Van Allen, Betty White, Isobel Wray, Gladys Hunter. To bring to you the personalities of V B is a very difficult task since we have repre- sented here many varied types, ranging from the intelligent, who are few and far between, to the not-so-intelligent, of whom you can find many examples. None the less, these form, we are glad to say, the nucleus of most of the organizations throughout the school. We would be failing in our duty to the form if we didn't give you some idea of the talent existing here. Murray Gates and Marie Van Allen provide most of the schol- astic ability Cand homeworkj in the form and are members of the great army of uns employed. Then there is that budding musician of the form, Horace Steer, who plays the clarinet for his own amazement. Miss Dawson measures up to the collegiate viewpoint that it isn't the girl that counts, it's what she stands for. The President of the Students' Council, George Hall, is, by popular acclaim, a finished actor- finished for life. We also have James Frederick Malcolm Hall, James Frederick Malcolm for short, who is steadily developing into an Olympic threat through his daily dashes designed to defeat the bellow of the bell. CPhew!J The Misses Parrington, Staples and Allen add that rural atmosphere so necessary to the harmonious existence led by our group. Harvard White, the dashing driver from Douro, believed that death begins at forty and is frequently found hugging the wrong curves. Joe Hiland likes work, it fascinates him S he can sit and look at it for hours. Miss Harris, Miss Nesbitt and Miss Flett have formed a knitting circle, the knitting gives the girls something to think about while they are talking! Marg. Lundy, this year's princeps alumna, is the kind of girl who picks her friends - to pieces. Members of the Woodsman Spare That Trio can always be relied on to produce some educational gems. Turner still thinks the feminine of bachelor is lady-in-waiting. West translates hors a oeuz'res by out of work, and King thinks heredity is a bad thing and ought to be prevented. Isobel Wray, President of the G. A. A., is taking up golf but as yet doesn't even know how to hold the caddy. Donald Wood, the lady's man, exemplifies the romantic type. Our form boasts of three travelled members, Miss Clarkson, Miss Hunter and Don Miller, arriving daily from Keene, Havelock and points east, respectively. The other day the Scotsman of the form, Noel Barr, left a tip for the waitress-he had been eating asparagus. Tom and Fred Hooper cast the odd shy glance over to the fairer sex and chuckle inwardly, convincing themselves that the average woman is proof enough that man can take a joke. Reta Sproule and Isobel King will no doubt maintain their usual high standard in the future by being well-groomed at their weddings. Russell Huggins, the tiddlin' fool and Jack Benny's only rival, is now laid up in the hospital. He tried to set a speed record, playing his violin, and contracted a bad case of Saint Vitus Dance. Last and least, we have Guy Pettersone, the mighty atom of Bridgenorth hockeydom. In a few years, Guy is threatening to run for the reeve of Ennismore. Au rexervozk.
