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.

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.

Juliette Osborne and Organ Grinder Morrow Are always blue and full of sorrow. Cupid Kidd has pierced many hearts, By means of his bows, his arrows and darts.

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.

92 THE EcHoEs Form IB Acadfnzfc MISSES: Best, Bestard, Boyle, Chambers, Clark, Cunningham, English, Ferguson, Foster, Graham, Graham, Hamley, Hughes, Hunter, HuHman. Messrs.: Chate, Constable, Cox, Craig, Cranfield, Crouter, Crowe, Curtis, Eason, Elliot, Fee, Fowley, Gillespie. Over in one corner of IB form room are pupils copying notes, talking and amusing themselves generally. Girls rush in and out demanding if they have all their equipment, The hrst bell rings and in troops the rest of the class. Assembly knocks off part of the tirst period. Botany is quite easy Cfor someb, while Algebra considerably muddles others. Going up the dear, worn stairs some fall under the load of books but we finally get there. Latin is still more confusing. After the slaughter we stumble despairingly up to third tloor. At fourth period, Geography, we are looking very decidedly worn out. When the bell goes a great stir commences, pupils grab their books and rush out. Who is the Shirley Temple of IB who holds the P. C. I. Orchestra together by her magic violin playing? Who is it that trills blues songs like a real torch-singer in P. C. I.? Who are they that eat apples, shoot paper, play games and entice dogs to school?

And JESSIE didn't know all Bolivian styles: If jim were not HAVVTHORNE but rather an OAK, And CLEGG with his wave didn't charm the fair folk, If Ross were a LIVER instead of a HART, And ERIC of Dickens had read a small part: If June were not PIDGEON but rather a DOVE, And IVA and CATHERINE their History did love: If Douglas were LESS instead of much IVIOORE. And Miss MILLER sat right next to the door: If Frances were THACKERAY, not RUS- KIN, by name, And Metherall, called DONALD, had a DUCK which was tame, If Betty, called PUFFER, were a PANTER of note, And Janet, our PROPHET, were a PEER quite remote. If Thelma signed WHISPER instead of MISS HOWELL, And FRANCES made BASKETS with never a foul, If Wilson, called HENRY, instead were a FORD, And GRACE by no subject could ever be bored - Then wouldn't our teachers bewildered all be, Because of these changes in poor old One-C ?
