8 FORM News, P.C.V.S., 1938 WALTER WINDSHIELD'S COLUMN Scandal in III A Academic Flash-It was reported to-day that Allan Jack Benny Mol- daver received in the morn- ing's mail a booklet, How to be Funny in Ten Easy Les- sons. ScoopeRumours are circulating that Ronald Ackford has final- ly, after much consideration, refused to play the part of Rhett Butler opposite Scar- lett fMargaret Westbyej, O'- Hara, in the novel. Gone With The Wind. Is it true that after school hours Grace Marshall has been giving Mr. Pettit point- ers on how British History should be taught? Flash---It was made public to- day that the four prospective ministers of III A are, Casey Parr, Whatley, Bell. Everyone noticed that Bells were hung up at Christmas. Bad News-Vallery wasn't. Flash-Since the premiere of The Life of Handel, Shirley Richardson, Roy Hudson, Bill Buchan and Rae Borland have received many offers from Hollywood. Each has re- fused to sign any contracts and have stated that they will continue their studies at P.C.I. Flash-Barbara Scott has finally decided that it's the little things in life that count. It was repeated that Jean Dougherty lost her complexion in a snow drift the other day. Scoop-The badminton experts of III A-The Company of Rich- ardson, Richardson, and Rich- ardson-plus Helen Mathias, pronounced, Ma-thy-ass, are already preparing to enter the badminton games for the next Olympics in japan, l980. Flashflt was noticed by the In- spector that the only respect- able people of III A were-Iso- bel Graham, Betty Barr, Helen Beatty, Marjorie Armstrong, Don Warne and Bill Hamilton. The following conversation was heard the other day. Brown: Hey, Hudson, your car is smoking. Hudson: So what? It's old enough. G. B. ALLITERATION The one carrying the least avoirdupois in our form is Betty. Miss Reid and George Easton converse daily outside the girls' lockers. Is it a budding ro- mance? This is much to the detriment of Miss Smith, who cares not a little about Georgie We have on the girls' side a GIRL LEADS GI RAFFE DOW III D Through the Glass Someone gives me a subtle delinition of a reporter-with bravado I repeat it: 'A reporter is somebody who does not do anything himself, and when somebody else does, he goes and tells other people about it. Well spoken, who- ever you are. and someday we'll think up a biting definition of an Echoes reader. Oh, well, on with the news. If the Junior Girls Basketball team did lose their lirst game, it was not for the want of blondes. This form is well represented in that team by Goldie Shaw. She is also the G.A.A. represen- tative. Earle Routly is a member of the Students' Council as well aS of the hockey team. Bob Gar- ner is on the Echoes staff and is the B.A.A. representative. Shortly after Christmas, Bill was overheard speaking to jack Roper. What is your impres- sion of harmony, Jack? jack said, A girl wearing a polka dot dress leading a giraffe down main street in a dust storm. Still peering through the glass it is possible to see Bud Miller either studying history or mak- ing a sketch of some member of the fairer sex. Smiling Smed- SPECIAL COMMERCIAL fC0ntinued from page 611 that they won't shine in pub- ic. Recent reports from Holly- wood show that our ambitious quartette, the Misses Jean Fow- ler, Isabel Conroy, Helen and Louise Hickey, is gradually climbing the ladder of success with a new version of the Big Apple. Betty Jack has turned out to be the class heroine. She saved our reputation by unearthing, at the minute, a very humorous skit for the Lit programme, which, to quote Mr. Shearer, went over with a bang. Page Sixty-eight Betty Detcher, our German fiend, startles us saner minded individuals by popping out with a lengthy story. Speaking of foreign languages, Beatrice Ma- hood confides that there is on language like shorthand for your diary. Now for the weather reports: the calm in the vicinity of Special Commercial lockers caus- ed by the entrance of Julia Dew- art and Beth Stewart, nos mademoiselles les plus gentilles, was suddenly changed into a violent hurricane. This pecu- liar phenomenon was about to be investigated when, lo! and behold! Miss Wolfe reached her locker and the hurricane ceased. mor is likely doing extra algebra homework. Some people think Wolfe should have been a fox because he is so sly. On the other side of the room is Our Second Deanna, Mary Robson, who sang a solo at the Literary meeting. Shirley Zacks must be on the advertising staff of the XVrigley Gum Company. This form has made several unsuccessful attempts to have debates for Composition but the same thing seems to hold it up each time-a suitable subject. I suggest they resolve whether or not it was necessary to use a glass to find any news in Form IIID Academic. KIDNAPPING PLANNED II A Commercial Contains Potential Kidnappers As it is my duty to tell you all the news of II A Commercial, I shall try to do so in as interest- ing a way as I can. I inter- viewed several of the celebreties in the form. My first interview was with Miss Inez Killoran, the noted singer of Irish Ballads, particularly When Irish Eyes Are Smiling. Miss Killoran is very gay and like all Irish people very witty. My next interview was with the chorus girlsg Irene Forsythe, Dorothy Mitchell Janet Kearns, Mary Campan- aro, Doris Downer, Hazel Hunt and Frances Latimer. They are all great kids and their one am- bition is to grab off a rich guy, which is nice work if you can get it. Audrey Murray and Adeline Morrocco, the famous tap dan- cing team, were also on my list of Who's Who. but owing to the number of their male admirers I was unable to get near them. Alice Gallagher and Shirley Brown, the president and the This completes this year's resume of Special Commercial's news. We shall not be with you again next year! We hope! T. T. FOUND IN IX I very promising young singer, namely, Miss Pitchford. Our globe trotters are Miss Newman and Robert Roy, both having travelled to England last summer. Miss Newman is a Girl Guide and Roy a Boy Scout. A perfect pairfj Don't you think? There are two of our boys on the Junior Rugby Team, Mc- Pherson, who plays outside and quarter, and McWilliams who plays inside. McDermitt, Rutherford, Mac- Claren and Margeratt are po- tential stamp-collectors. The wood-makers are Meeks and Margeratt, while Richard- son is our man-about-town, and Moore the night-hawk. Miss Parkhill is improving her writing to a great extent. Keep up the good work. Miss Rahmel seems to have a good chance to win the Penmanship Prize. Our sole representative to the Camera Club is Mills, and O'- Donnel is the only member, from our form, of the West Enders' Hockey Team. Ode to Rupert: Am he gone? Haw he went? Has him left I all alone? Can I never go to he? Can he never come to I? Oh! it cannot was. Misses Park, Plumpton, Pepe, and Plunkett, form part of the alliteration in the form, also Misses Nesbitt, Nolan, Nichols. The attempted whoopee by Messrs. O'Brien, Roberts, O'- Toole and O'Brien in a certain class had better cease lest an ear be inclined their way. C. N. secretary of the Literary Society, were very gracious. As they were, however, in a big hurry, Cas usualj, I wasn't talking to them long. Alice G. refuses to talk about a certain violin play- erg hence I didn't get much in- formation from her. Our Girl Companion Bureau, consisting of Mary Conlin, Eil- een Collins, and jean Carter, af- forded another interesting inter- view. These girls are hired for five dollars a night by some lone- ly forlorn chap who wants to see the town. Here's your chance boys. They all like their work and who wouldn't? Ruth Mor- den, the great orator, refused me an interview. Doris Bradley and Madeline Gilgour, the sew- ing girls, gave me a demonstra- tion of their work, and I must say they're going places. Miss Ruth Dalliday, the noted girl athlete, has deservedly won many medals. Keep going, Ruth! Well, since this is all the space I have, I must end my interviews. B. M.

FORM Nisws, P.C.V.S., 1938 9 SECRETS or SCIENCE UNFOLDED III B Ungrateful Most intelligent readers, al- low me to present for your enter- tainment our illustrious form, although I am afraid I cannot do justice to such a dillicult task as this. As the nine o'clock bell rings there is usually a rush of a few stragglers and always the three Musketeers, Rogers, juby, and Carlisle, trying to beat the i nal bell by a few seconds. In Literature classes we tried very hard to carry back our minds to the times of those illustrious writers of the dim ages. Those who forget their books either sit with their friends or go to sleep thinking of the long hours to come before school is over. During the Chemistry periods, the secrets of science are un- folded to us by our teacher, Mr. Graham. We all have oppor- tunities to try experiments for ourselves, trying to get results that are often very hard to find. Many times we either break the apparatus or in some other way spoil the experiment, much to the disgust of Mr. Graham. As we trudge our weary way along the halls to the History period again, it is necessary to travel back on the wings of time to learn of the daring and im- portance of our fore-fathers in Canadian History. In this period, some are catching up on lost sleep, while others are dili- gently trying to remember what they had prepared the night be- fore. The next period, French, Miss Montgomery tries very hard to instil into us some of the line points of French, both in grammar and translation. Dur- ing Composition periods, Miss Howson endeavours to remind us to bring either an essay or a book statement that she has asked for some time back. Ger- ald Juby and Mr. Zavitz usually go to work on another solution for a problem that has already been worked at the board. The other mathematical subject is Algebra, through the difficulties of which we are guided by Mr. C. S. Browne. The girls of the form go to Miss Brisbin for P.T., while the boys go to Mr. Bam- forth to be put through a num- ber of exercises that will either make or break them eventually. Latin, the last subject on the list we think, especially the double period on Tuesday after- noon. When I recall how most of our thoughts travel back to the time of the Romans, what we could do to them I shall not place on paper. The four o'- clock bell sounds to end what some person has said to be one of the happiest and carefree days of our lives. I am sure we all agree with that person.
