THE EcHoEs 89 difficult task, as Harlow Cutting and a few of his associates arrive just in time to re- trace their steps to the Assembly Hall, whence they have just come. There must be something down there that attracts them to it each morning. We are proud of having so much talent in our midst. Our tall, dark and rubber-legged friend, Harlow Cutting, set a new record in the Junior high jump this year, as well as being a valuable member of the Junior Basketball squad. Other members of the team include - Ken. Gillespie, Jack Dough- erty, the Junior Flash, and Nelson Foster. Doris Glover is doing a great job on the girls' cage squad. Don Duncan set the pace in the Junior class at the Field Day this year, by winning that championship. He also did splendidly on the football field, playing a bang-up game. He was banged up every game. He serves in the capacity of B. A. A. representative for III B. The G. A. A. representative is Doris Glover. Don Hendren proved to be a valuable snap on the senior pig-skin team by playing line football. We can't leave III B's gift to the ladies, Warring Clarke, out of the picture, nor his pal, the mighty atom, Alex Carlisle, who insists on falling down-stairs, to the general amusement of two or three forms. Bob Juby is still faithful to IIIB and adds life to this class of super-men, along with Jim Beatty, Bev. Bruce, Charlie Dob- bin, and last, but not least, Jack Davies and Stew. Miller. To those who happen to read this feeble description of life in III B, I ask your in- dulgence and to any of the class whom I have unwittingly omitted, I humbly offer my apologies.

There are twenty-three of us in our form. The boys in our form are quite remarkable for their prowess in sport. Ralph Parnell played on the hockey team, Doug. Quirt won the juvenile championship on field-day, Jack Craig played on the junior basketball team and Brian Roberts was quarter-back on the All-Star Rugby team. Our G. A. A. repre- sentative is Elizabeth Lillico, and our B. A. A. representative is Aubrey Braund. Academic It was a cold day in January when our form decided to skip school for the afternoon. All of us piled into Irene Poolman's car and she drove us out to Hope's farm. We thought we would like to go for a sleigh-ride up img the mountains just near Keene. Far up on the mountain we could look down into a deep Craig. At the bottom of the Craig we could see a Browne object running around. We were informed by our guide, Perdue, that it was Roberts still playing rugby, A fire was lit. Some wood we had collected was damp and it began to Snznke. Braund immediately sets out and collects some drv wood. When it Burns, Perdue is amazed. The return to the city was uneventful. Each of us went our way home, not daring to think what would happen next morning.

S8 THE ECHOES PILLEY and LECLAIR in certain lines do shine, XVhen the class as a whole in fifth period does whine, Like an infant small in cuddling arms, The whole school is awakened by our alarms. LLYTHER, Rooow and PILLEY, too, Are so very busy they lack the time to do Their homework and especially history, But cheer up, my lads, there will come a dav. And then there is powerful, pugnacious PEPPER, Who says the exams. are getting better and better, But SEDGEWICK and WARD to this do say, Ah! let's go home and sleep to-day. The attempt at this lies in the fact That Mlss MURPHY caught us in the act Of chewing Wrigley's famous gum, And by way of punishment, by gum, A poem for the next day was ordered, And thus, our friends, our talent was discovered.

Form 3A is setting out on an expedition to the North Pole to discover what constitutes the snow up there, and inci- dently because they heard that the nights are six months long. Barrie Jack is leading the expedition with various members of SA helping him, including Florence Trebilcock, in case any scientific aid is required. VVe couldn't do without Grace Marshall, who does double duty as a reporter and as a com- forter for discouragement with her soothing poetry. Bob Graham is our wireless operator and, although we see little of him, it is not due to seasickness the sticks to Dr. Jackson's dictj but to his continual tampering with his radio. Mary Hall and her shadow, Sherry Reynolds, intend to interpret the language for us Clet's hope it isn't German or Frenchb. We all enjoy the voyage with the exception of some, who must remain in their cabins for Afadem lit' a few days. However, our bright young nurse, Mary Richardson, tries to cure them but to no avail. We discover later that she has misinterpreted the Latin inscriptions on the medical supplies. Luck is with us until nearly the time for our departure. Our cook, Eleanor Scott, is found to be missing and so Mary Hall kindly consents to do the cooking. Since we prefer Eleanor's, we decide to rescue her. Bill Davidson gallantly offers to play the hero and sets out, confident that his blazing crest will supply him with exothermic heat. O'er the Arctic wastes he hears a sweet voice - Calling, calling, and he rushes to the scene, only to find our brave cook, one foot planted on the hefty chest of a senseless Eskimo, resembling Bill Moorhead. The happy couple are cheered lustily by the crew, who have visions of more lvlocha cakes. We return home after experiencing only one other mishap, when Sherry, seeing water for the hrst time instead of ice, forgets that it is still winter and, with her unfailing grace, hits the water with a resounding plop. Strange to say, the snow up there is of the same composition as that of our own home town and we feel confident that one more scientific problem has been solved.

As this is a very valuable publication and space is limited, I cannot do ample justice Academ lil' to the merits of the brilliant members of this form. However, I will try to describe the activities of the class as best I can. As is natural, the fair sex should be con- sidered tirst. On entering the room one cannot help but see the perplexed faces of Phyllis Hill, Marion Juby and Jean Horton, puzzling over a Chemistry problem. They enjoyed the subject so much last year they are taking it again. Mary Haddow intro- duced a bright idea into the school this year, by carrying her books around in a hand bag. Mr. Pettit, however, has not made use of this helpful method. The marking of the register is rather a

Let me inform you, dear readers, of how those excellent students of IIB spend their mornings. As we straggle along to the Assembly Hall, it is pleasant to glance in at the tirst form rooms where everyone is hard at work UQ and know that they are Wishing that they also were missing a few minutes of the first period. Then we straggle back again to our form room where the windows have been thrown open to the invigorating winter breeze, mak- ing the room feel like a refrigerator. The next notable event of the morning is Howell's daily trip to the basket to deposit his gum. We wonder how many dollars he spends on gum each week. To-day we have French Authors and Helen THE Eenolis Acaciem ic Has fallen hard for Farley Hill. And Jimmy Milburn, the ladies' man, Is anxious for Dot Kelly's hand. Our midgets are: Little Miss Stewart, Miss Brownie Mason, Waterbov Rogow, Reverent Westman, Smart Henry, Cupid Kidd or Rodney the Rock, and Porky Mathews. The giantess is Miss Maralin Munro and her mate, Always Late Warren Gamble. There is a feud going on between Minnie lvlclntyre and Fred Astaire Goselin. The tongues of the class are Gabby Zacks and Smiling Smedmore. The Pep of the class is Betty Hughes, and Joy VValker never has the blues, Vv'inifred Hunter and Noreen Moore are the smart girls of the class. Our Country Maidens are: Miss Moncrief, Miss Reid, Dimule-Cheeked Miss Rosc- borough, Our Botanical Lass, Miss Mullen, and Bliss Mary Tripp with her northern drawl. Mertin Thompson and Eleanor Taylor are a perfect pair. Our imports this year are two of the McNaughton clan. ALVIN KING flcadmzz llc' Beatty, our tield-day champion, is asked to read. After a few sentences, punctuated by many ah's, Miss Moore concludes there has been no preparation and we spend the rest of the period worrying our heads over the vagaries of irregular verbs and queer constructions. The second period is Latin, where we are continually discovering we no longer deserve the certificates in English Grammar for which we worked so hard, Third period, we migrate to the gymnasium where for forty minutes we are put through our paces. Having finished our calisthenics we climb unending Hights of stairs to Zoology class. There we learn how to dissect all animals, from grasshoppcrs to pigeons. You may not think either of these animals but we are assured that such is the fact. At last comes the bell and we rush off to our lockers.
