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.

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.

THE Ecnoias 91 Form IIC Acadenz ic CHOES' time againfand with it an interesting, brilliant attempt Cwe hopej to outline the activities of Form II C. Of course, we are a highly favoured form, brim- ming over with brains, looks, athletic ability, and what have you? Everyone from Mac Powell to Carmen Bell excels in some one thing, whether it be P. T. or Latin. Then, we have the outstanding girls' volleyball team, whose able captain is Margaret West- bye, and who won the Junior Championship. So far, our girls' basketball team, whose captain is Taffy Platt, has been successful in its games. Our congratulations go to Bob Crocker, who stole the show acting as Pyramus, in that tender love scene from A Midsummer Night's Dream. And also to Gwennie Bond whose interpretation of An Old Cowhand brought down the house. All in all, our Lit. programme was a huge success. Oral compositions seem to be the bane of Douglas Wolf's existence. But isn't it every- one's? VVe have also Meridith Miller- sketcher of feminine beauty, and Bert Bethune CScottyJ Hoot Mon. Aye, he's a funny lad. Normal students' brows are always wrinkled over that famous company of Richardson, Richardson and Richardson, Barbara, Betty and Shirley, respectively. In closing, may I compliment our form teacher, Mr. R. D. Brown, on his never-failing patience with us - Form II C. T, P, Form IA IRLSZ E. Armstrong, S. Ashby, H. Ballard, S. Boorman, S. Bothwell, D. Burnham, J. Burrows, D. Cathcart, H. Edmison, M. Edmonds, M. Hooper, J. Ire- land, A. Koster, A. McLeod, R. McNeely, J. Melton, I. Pogue. Boys: B. Ackerman, R. Ainslie, H. Amys R. Barrie, W.

Colossal! VVhat is? Bill Bartlett's green tie with yellow dots, of course. Bill Bartlett is our form representative but just what he represents we're still trying to find out. And there's Ruth McNeely, short-but is she snappy! Her main ambition is to work in either Neil's or Agnew's shoe-store. Oh yes-4 there's Marge Edmunds-better known as Peggy. When she wants to go to the show, she says, 'Hew' will go with me? and the question is already solved. Ah, here is Benny Ackerman Cpelit garconl, who, if he has his grammar done, hasn't his French. And the Burrows kids: they mustn't be left out. If one of them isn't in trouble, the other one is. One day Benny A. and Bernard B. were walking across a little bridge over a stream. When they got over, Bernard said, My! VVR made that bridge shake, didn't we? And then we have the school colours, Garnet and Gray, also Brown and Black. John Corbet-Oh! His questions would try the patience of a saint, if there were any saints around here to try the patience of. Then there is Miss Melton, who can actually do Algebra! When she has worked out, and got the answer to a question, then Miss Hooper, Clark Mowry and Miss Edmunds also have theirs done. 'Shirley Bothwell is the one who gets 100 minus the 1 in Algebra, but who would K1CdCZ76'77ZZ-C V blame her when Mr. Craig gives us questions like this, eg., If A equals the cost of a package of gum, how do you find how much money lvlarshall loses per day? If you would like to become more intimate with us, come down and see us sometime. We probably won't be in, but come anyway. Oh, yes! You should see little Roger. He is a Barrie nice fellow Cpunj.
