I'pon entering the classroom open all windows. This chills the room, opens tht- thermostats and robs the room of needed heat. 2. Be cheerful. When in dif- ficulties, whistle. It shows that you have nothing on your mind. 3. Keep in shape physically. Practice broken-field running by galloping down a crowded cor- ridor. -I. When going around a corner, cut in close and accelerate. You will find you can bump twice as many people by this method. 5. Stay in the corridor until the bell rings and see if you can en- ter the room before it stops. You will find this a fascinating game. DERIVATION Bill Kemp asked Miss McIntosh if many English words were derived from Latin, and she said, Yes, a great many, Well, said Bill, if equus means horse and nox means night does equinox mean night- mated GIRL IN IX C The teacher asked why jack Eano was out. There was a pause for a moment and then Dummit for Dumberj yelled out in a stentorian voice, He's got lumbago! The knowledge might Foam News, P.C.V.S., 1938 6. Be independent. Do your Maths. in the English period, your French and Latin in the Physiography period and so on. You will thus lend variety to a monotonous life and show great individuality. 7. Don't be enthusiastic. If you know the answer to a ques- tion refrain from raising your hand. Let those do so who don't know the answer. This makes the class interesting. C. H. PICKPOCKET TAKES CAKE Poet Praises II B Miss Moore looks over her gaudy class, Wondering if any of them will pass. They are such dunces and such saps, And they have all such homely maps. A description of them I shall try to give, How can such specimens of man- hood live? Marshall is tall, broad, freckled and red. Dorothy Cathcart is sure well fed. Taylor and Miss Edmonds are a romantic pair, have been imparted in a more dignified manner, but that's the way with Dummitt. Great laugh- ter-followed by Miss Howson. Come, come, children, don't laugh at the poor child's intir- mityf' Eleanor Doyle should certain- ly be awarded a medal for her tests in the cooking room. She promoted an idea in surgery that no doctors have ever yet attemp- ted. In her paper she stated that the use of fat in the body was to grease the lungs. The in- formation will be very useful to the medical profession. Our girls' athletic work this season was somewhat abbrevi- ated. We had a relay team. It was a good team, a splendid team. When the great day came for the relay race, three of the members relayed altogether. That left only two on the team. and for that reason we say it was abbreviated. BECQMES TYPEWRITER The nurse must have cracked a joke over the cradle of Kenneth Elliot, for he has been laughing ever since. If you see somebody coming down the hall with a tread like a plough horse, it's not Harold Lloyd but Lloyd Crane. There is much in a name. It sometimes means more than size. Dr. Dafoe and Norris are both small. Norma Elcombe believes in a machine age. Everything she does runs like clock-work. Her highest aspiration, so she says, is to be a typewriter. She didn't say whether Remington or Un- derwood. Mary Darling is timid and shy, but She'll be somebody's darling by and by. Sylvia Duignan can use her feet as well as her head. She ac- quires fame as a tap-dancer even though she does sometimes for- get her can-z'er-sa-tzi-on. Betty Estlick and her brother may be affectionate and think the world of each other, but when they meet on the stairs, she glares at him like a lion- tamer, and he glares back like the lion. C.C. jean Cox is the girl with the Mae West hair. Gable Constable likes going to shows, Walter Morrow has a long red nose. Corbett and Stanley are photog- raphers fine, Chate is the guy who can string the line. Andy Scott is our muscular man, Wally Crouter is a II-C fan . CF. MJ When it comes to pick-pocket- ing, Sproule takes the cake, And McKnight for the girls is very good bait. Chalmer Gillespie is a hit with the girls. Wilson Henry is the lad with the curls. Ferguson and Merret love go- ing to school, Madeline Spence is aloof and cool. fCOI1fI'NllPd on page 74, 'E cAMPI3EI.I.'s DAIRY PRODUCTS PASTEURIZED MILK, CREAM, BUTTER BUTTERMILK, ICE CREAM If It's Campbell's It's Creamy VITAMIN D MILK Phones : 2210 - 2211 Page Sc-I'rIIiy

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.

Foam Nliws, HOMEWORK BUREAU ESTABLISHED IN IIC Form 2 C Acadmic seems to have an epidemic Of feminine frivolity this year, For each bewildered laddie must be driven nearly gaddy By two'n a quarter lady- friends, we hear, Of whispers and chatters who could talk a doll to tatters We have our share-Miss Ashby and lVIiss Waite. The latter's contribution to this splendid institution Is to nll the role of Poet Laura eate. The Sisters Harle are speakers and in 'rithmetic three squeakers Hewitt Amys, Helen Wade and Robert Kay Compete in making clamour with that quintessencc of glam' our Mary Strickland, who knows always what to say, Miss Prophet's violining. and tall Douglas's, are winning, Words of praise and com- mentation far and near. Jeanne Ketcheson and 'Blackie' often hit it up, tby crackiej And the staid LBJ Miss Wood believes they're kind of queer. Two chesty virtuosos, two swing- music-making bozos. Sir Windsor and Sir Thomp- son, play in C While amazing little Roger, the red-headed artful dodger Sings Canadian Girls are good enough for me! Without Hall's imitations and Joan Melton's conversations The study room would dull and dreary beg While Brockwel1's 'steamboat' sneezes and Miss William's throaty wheezes Combine to make Miss Boor- man grin in glee. Our Kenner and Bob Crocker t Who in study periods write their sad refrains. John's namesake had a body that has long been dead and shoddy But with Brown it's not his body, it's his brains. Commercial connections and pro-talking predilections Make Miss Bestard rather noted in the form. Fran Merret has a steady who to rugby play is ready So they both have got their love to keep them warm. Calamity it would be if our sportive Agnes should be At an international bridge game there was one table which seemed to be the main attraction. Seat- at it were Mrs. Mussolini, Mrs. Lindbergh, theDuch- ess of Windsor, and Mrs. Roosevelt. The hands had been dealt and they were just beginning to bid. Here's how it went: Mrs. Mussolini: I have a deuce. Mrs. Lindbergh: I have an ace. Duchess of Windsor: I thought I had a King. Mrs. Roosevelt: Let's have a new deal. , Compelled to leave the Form and go away. Did Miss Timlin so desire she could pront and retire On commission charged on Homework tif we'd payl.

There are only ten of us, but what a racket we can make! Queenie Holden is our form poetess, and while she recites in a stage whisper her latest epic, Evelyn Nelson and Ruth Beatty are lending homework and pen- cils in another corner. Your reporter thinks that if they charged rent per page, per per- son, per day that they could soon acquire a protitable income. Eileen Jedries is a notable artistg she takes pencil and paper and soon a sketch appears as if by magic. Margaret Russell walks 7 miles to school each morning. She gets her daily dozen. Betty jary is our Sara Bernhardt. She stole the show in our annual Lit. Iris Whalon made a resolution not to talk in Chemistry, but she nearly collapsed after nrst per- iod so she has gone back into her regular chemistry routine now. Oh yes!
