Francis, ESQUIRE CLUB NEWSETTE BY III INDUSTRIAL ARTS Form III Industrial Arts be- came commonly known, al- though not referred to, as Peter- borough Vocational Esquire Club. The club was formed so we could have the fun of run- ning a club instead of a common and dry Oral Composition per- ind. Miss Bailev was the founder of the club and the first meetings were carried on under manage- ment of Mr. T. McMillan as Chairman, Mr. A. Lockington as Secretary and Mr. J. Easton holding the permanent job of treasurer. Other chairmen and secretaries throughout the year were as fol- lows: Chairm en Secretaries Mr. Whiteside Mr. Walling Mr. Easton Mr. Carter Mr. Andrews Mr. R. Francis All members of the class acted as bankers, manufacturers, busi- ness men and what-have-we. All the class competed in a contest to see who could give the best talk in the term. A collection had been taken up in class for prize money to buy any book that the winners wish- ed. Mr. Grose Mr. L. Clancy grabbed first prize with his talk of What keeps a plane in the air, and Mr. Doc Turnbull ran a close second with an address on Diesel engines. Class Room Gossip Pro. T. Corneil, the mad scientist of the Vocational School has just completed and patented his wonderful invention for Scotch Teachers, The Torch Special, a guaranteed fool- proof ink-well. The Pro. claims that it is im- possible for any student to place blotters, bits of paper or any substances into the ink and humanly impossible to remove anything including ink. The Pro. has also been experi- menting with a work-less solu- tion for dishwashing. In doing dishes the Pro. way, use a solu- tion of Potassium Chloride, Sodium Cyanide and dechlorodi- tinoronetene in any solution ratio, and dishes are dumped in- to this. If you have dishes for the next meal you're lucky. Hear ond There Everyone is wondering who the blonde is, Gibby is meander- ing around with.fWrite to box 497 to obtain names and latest dopej. D.

Agnes Weir has finally mastered the art of fancy skating, and has won several cups. Of course, you will all be interested to learn that Olive Parrington is making her debut on Broadway. Mar- garet jackson is a professional nurse. Can't you imagine her taking your temperature and cooling the fevered brows? Betty White had taken the high road to knowledge by taking Miss Montgomery's place at P.C.V.S. We all remember Lenore Lewis, the songster of morning assem- blies. She is now taking Kate Smith's place on a radio pro- gramme. Glen Allen and Cor- ona Hanbridge have both done well. Glen is a Hootchv Koot- chy dancer, and Corona an artist's model. If you just turn the pages of any fashion book you will see Noreen McAllister posing in a stunning bathing suit. You will find it has a soothing effect on the eyes. I Hutfy would like to know how Francis can sit next the Pro. desk and get over 90 in an exam without being caught copying. E. P. was quite astounded the other day, to find that Arleigh Murray is a fan dancer in an exclusive night club. As we passed the Examiner Bulletin board, I saw that Isabel Wray was well on her way to fame in the six day bicycle race. Dorothy Smith and Phvllis Nesbitt are beauti- ful mannequins for Paris gowns. Beryl Franks surprised everyone by eloping with a handsome mil- lionaire. Verna Allen is very much up in the air-a hostess on an air-liner. I also heard that she flirts with the pilot. As we passed one of the many little oflices near East Avenue, I hap- pened to notice a great big sign with PSYCHIATRIST on it. You know, one of those people who try to tell you what your mind is made of. And then in one corner, in very insignificant letters was Helen Latimer's name. Now can you figure that one out? Just then who should come tripping out of the office but Helen Miller and a whole brigade of Pekinese? Now I wonder what she was doing in a place like that? Now Tom just couldn't pass a peanut store. And do you know, the clerk was Phyllis Dawson? Well Tom, I must leave you now, I've got a date at the Town Hall, and I guess I don't have to tell you what for. D. W. Page Sixty-three

FORM NEWS, P.C.V.S., 1938 EDITOR-CATHARINE WHITE Ass'f. Editors-M. Hooper, l. Whalon, A. Gallagher MARCHii938 or vol.. 24 VVith a sigh we see the last piece of copy leave for the printers. Gladly we turn to our well-earned rest, only to find that the worst is yet to come. The editorial has to be written. Thirteen inches must be filled with readable matter. Well, we've filled them, but as to the second stipulation, we have very serious doubts. Although several schools have been using the newspaper form for School News, Sports, etc. this is the first time it has been used in The Echoes, and there has been a great deal of work entailed in the change. A large amount of any credit which this section merits is due to the able assistance of our three co-workers-Margaret Hooper, Iris Whalon, and Alice Gallagher. Regarding the change, the comments of the student body are invited-favourable or otherwise-and if this section is continued in the same manner next year, they may be printed in this column, thereby saving the editor a great deal of trouble by filling up a space that this year she has to cover with her own comments. First Forms To give a new twist to an old tale-- The first forms we have always with us, but what a disappointment they are this yearl Not only have they changed their name to Ninth Forms, but they are a dreadfully precocious crowd, rarely doing things that a first form is expected to do Csuch as losing their way eight times a dayj. They have failed dismallv to give rise to the usual crop of Have you heard about the Frst form that .,,. P , jokes that usually predominate during thc first term. There is just one way in which you can tell that they are first formers, and that is, they get their form news in on time. But they'll get over that-all the other forms have. Seriously, however, we consider the new first year course to be of great value to the pupil. It is a well known fact that there are a great many mislits in both sides of the school, and this mixed course seems to be a practicable way of solving the difficulty. A pupil is able to see just what subjects he excels in, and can continue accordingly, thus perhaps saving several years that otherwise would be wasted. Perennials It was our aim this year to give you something new and startling, but some of the old perennials crept in- A day in form so and so, form so and so fifty years from to-day,', etc. Indeed, as one frantic reporter exclaimed, there wouldn't be any form news without them. We were quite Frrm at the time, but a glance through this section will tell its own tale. The school will very soon be taking on the appearance of a barracks, if all reports are true, for there arc no less than 12 musketeers in our midst! Count them for yourself. If anyone would ask us what is the most popular word in the dictionary, we would say illustrious After cutting it about fifty times, we finally gave it up as a bad job and shut our eyes when we came to it. But alasl that is but an editor's life! The staff's feelings are described to a t by the following verse which we bor- rowed from the Brandon College Weekly, The Quill. What have you done, St Peter asked, That I should admit you here? I ran the Form News, the editor said, For The Echoes, for one long year. St. Peter, pitying, shook his head, And gravely touched the bellg Come in, poor thing, select a harp, You've had your share of 1 Ahem! ' This word was censored, so we had to sacrifice rhyme to morality. Page Sixtygfour BOY PUTS HAIR IN CURLERS F O R M N E W S in c Idol Reveals Feet of Clay Here comes the giantess, Miss Joyce Powers.

Ctlorztirzzred on page 74, GIRL SWAL-OWS NAIL ll B Commercial Conta II B Commercial is all set to gain a position in the Public Eye. We have a very excel- lent form this year with a num- ber of highlights. The girls won the Junior Volleyball cham- pionship, the boys organized two hockey teams and have be- gun to play games, two editors for The Echoes were chosen from our ranks, but wait till you hear about the pupils! I did not think any form could possibly have a person that can come late, forget his books, mis- place his locker key, and come without his spelling done all in ONE DAY. But it takes IIB to produce such a specimen. Though Ken Bolam gets good marks in bookeeping, don't be fooled. His ambition is to be another Walter Winchell. A-tish-oo! This is Dr. Ken- ner's advice to all, if you wish to pronounce S-c-h-i a-r-i-z-z-a. If you see a fellow in a blue suit looking moonstruck, it's only George Easton putting his heart and soul into his Advice to the Lovelorn column. But it really takes Catharine White to do something dramatic. The other day she announced Qbetween coughing spellsl that she had swallowed a nail, thus ins Phenomenal Pupil causing great consternation a. mong pupils near enough to hear. Then Katie held up a badly shorn finger and announced I bit it off, and accidentally swal- lowed it, and now it's stuck go- ing down! The inkwell in Chamberlain's desk always seems empty. Can it be that the Modern Miracle drinks it? Instead of saying Hello , Dorothy Symonds says, Howdy Stranger. Try as we may we can't break her of this habit ac- quired for our Literary Meeting. As usual, the flame of genius burns brightest in the weaker sex. Our gifted poetess, Moira Whalon, regales us with selec- tions from her repertoire at every opportunity. Our only regret is that we haven't space to print the gems of her collec- tion. Newsy Note for Nosey News- Hawks: This year IIB started their own class magazine called Buzzes of Two Bees ! The magazine was formed somewhat like The Echoes and promises to be a great success. M. W.
