THE ECHOES 99 Form II Household Arts ARY ALEXANDER, Eunice Armstrong, Gladys Brock, Beryl Johnston, Orma Lacheur, Muriel MacKeage, Eleanore Morri- son, Marjorie Plumpton, Dorothy Pringle, Doris Sayer, Hazel Telford, Isobel Thorne, Lenore Tinker, Betty lVhaley. One day we decided to go on a hike to Hazel Telford's farm. After an early break- fast we started on our long and perilous journey out the Lakefveld Highway. Making our way cautiously along the road we spied Eleanore Morrison in a near-by field hilling potatoes while singing, I'm sitting on a hill-top. Coming along in a horse and buggy were Isobel Thorne and Doris Sayer, taking their farm produce to the city of Peter- borough. They were dressed in bright ging- ham dresses which they had made in H. A. II at P. C. Y. S. Slowly trudging along and thumbing our way we saw a bright shinv baby Austin coming along the road. As it neared us we noticed that Orma Lacheur was at the wheel. Being very hospitable, Orma asked us to hop on the car, as she was going to pass through Lakelield. By the time we were settled and ready to start, the baby Austin looked as if it had been in a wreck. Slowly making our way along the highway, wevreached Nassau, that great railway and industrial metropolis. We .stopped here a while and obtained refreshments at the rail- way depot. Gladys Brock and Eunice Armstrong were serving the customers bits of tasty morsels, which only these girls could cook. The recipes are the personal property of these two girls and have never been entered on a piece of paper and the results can be seen if any day you look at the bridge and see human beings hanging over it ready to drop themselves in the canal. ln another corner of the depot, Betty Whaley and Lenore Tinker were busily making tablecloths and tea-towels for the lunchroom. Arriving at Lakefield we saw Mary Alexander, Beryl Johnston, lllarjorie Plumpton and Dorothy Pringle all on one corner selling tags. Curious to know what the proceeds were going to be used for we asked Mary. We learned the proceeds were to be used to educate under- privileged alld backward elephants in Africa. XVe were glad to learn that Muriel Mac- Keague, our fair damsel, was mayoress. When we arrived at Telford's farm we were footsore and weary. H. A. II signing off till next year.

Tuesday in I I .E UESDAY morning in the Composition class, we are given the period in which to use our imagination in composing some- thing to represent the Industrial Department in The Echoes. At 9:50 A.M. we amble down to Mr. Davies' room to draw circles and lines to the tunc of the leaking tap. Pete Morley fthe class vocalistb becomes jealous of the tap's singing qualities and tries to push it over, thus taking a piece of flesh out of his hand. Next, we go to Mr. Corniel for Science. Here, Mr. Corniel has his annual singing period and, after his voice passes through several mysterious objects, we see it BOB FRANCIS was full of information in Blachine Shop several days ago as a result of reading the free booklet which he received. IXIr. Davies was heard uttering dire threats against any boy who forced him to compose a June Exam. in Shop Mathematics. It is not to be imagined that anyone will do this purposely. Industrial Arty flashing around the wall of the darkened room. Then home for dinner. After dinner we assemble in the gym. for 40 minutes of bending and stretching under Mr. Bamforth's watchful eye and cane. Somehow we manage to struggle through this and go upstairs again for Spelling. VVith Mr. VV. Brown in the Machine Shop, we can turn a common-looking piece of steel into fantastical shapes simply by pulling levers and turning wheels. Then with Mr. C. S. Browne for Mathematics, we finish a delightful day OJ. ALEX ELLIS Forms IA and IB Industrial Arty YLE GLOYER has joined the Boys' Glee Club.
