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.

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.

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.

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!

Edward Clarke, Karl Fee, Clegg Hall, james Hawthorne. Donald Howell, Bill Kemp, Aubrey MacNaugh1on, Ken- neth Mowry, Jack Ridyard, Donald Smerlmor, john Stuart, Robert Thompson and Archie VVilson composed the following Golden Rules for P.C.Y.S. 1. 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

12 FORM NEWS, P.C.V,S.. 1938 REQUIRE CHINESE LTEXTBOOKS II A Industrial Arts Gerry Creighton flashy half- back on P.C.I. senior rugby line- up is now working at the Canad- ian General Electric. Harold Brumwell, specialising in electricity, does not need a stepladder to wire a house. Reason-- -6'2 . Elmer Bicardi nearly had to put his foot in a sling as a result of joe Stewart's weakness. Stewart was not strong enough to lift a chuck from the lathe and in at- tempting this dropped it on Bicardi's foot. Elmer was try- ing to help joe. Harold Lumsden and Bill Godin are playing E.P.L. hockey for Norwood. Jim Grady, Ken Rose, With- ers, John Arthey and several other future car wreckers from this form still think a bus for transportation to South Central School would be a good invest- ment, not just an election myth. A book in Chinese would be easier to understand than the Mathematics text according to Jack Ball, Students' Council representative, is more a part- time super-salesman at Lillow- Walkwell shoe store. Be care- ful girls! He's colour blind. If you want a red shoe, ask for a green one. The form would very much like to buy Frank Bancze an alarm clock. Maybe he would get to school on time for a change. Did anybody know we had a future radio artist in this form? Well, we have in the person of Bill Godin. Bill made a decided hit at the Capitol Theatre re- cently when he sang Roses in December. Girls! The chances of a life time! That tall, dark, hand- some youth Norman Millen, is giving nightly skating lessons 011 Ashburnham Free Rink. Bru- nettes preferred. Miss McBride says Heslip must think McFarlane is a human dictionary. He constantly uses him for reference. joe Hickey is at a great loss for somebody to talk to now that joe Dwyer has left school. Going without a hat may be all right, says Don Rose from Havelock. but I tried it one morning from the station to school and nearly lost two prec- ious members! My ears. R. B. Bill Gracie. ' O P.C.I.S FIRST SP All II F Industrial Arts Become Members Abbot is the gentleman with the large curl, whom you see roaming aimlessly about the halls every morning. CI-TS. This curl is put in by the girl friend every night. He has to wear a night cap to keep it in place to preserve it till morning., Tuesday morning Baker ar- rived at the Collegiate with a large, red, splotch on his cheek. He says it was blood, but we all have our doubts. To see Douglas and Freeman on the gridiron you wouldn't even guess they were the gentle young men in the literature class, or that they would let a tagger like Nesbitt follow them everywhere thev go. . Roade, and his side hitch, Wel- bourne, are always seen talking to girls in the halls. Strange as it seems, you never see them with the same girls twice. If two high-steppers are seen hooIing it along the number 28 highway every morning you will know it is the Westman brothers on their way to good old P.C.V.S. Page Seventy-Iwo OFERS CLUB FORMED Hiscox is the scientific genius that is going to introduce tel- evision into the world about 1960. From the oral composition on machine guns which Gray gave, a person would think he was to be Canada's Public Enemy No. l. Len Vass has an eye to the future. His favourite pastime is skating with one of the lasses of II Household Arts. When Mr. Corneil retires, the new science teacher will be Jim Northam, the attentive listener during all science classes. . Allen seems to be able to keep his mind on his work in all classes, except when we take Literature or Composition with Household Arts. If you must pick someone to swat a fat wad of paper at, don't pick Jackson. I tried it once. jim Baird is one of our elec- trically-minded wizards. Bill Anderson is Mr. Corneil's favourite pupil. He has had him moved from the back desk to the front desk. In closing I might say that Northcott is grade A in figures, but not in Mathematics. D. M. R. MIRACLES HAPPEN IN IX D We have gone far enough into 1938 to know that it holds bitter sweet for us. The bitter part is our reports and the sweet is our skating party. We skated grace- fully Cor otherwiseb around All Saints Rink and then had our refreshments at Marguerite Grose's home. I think Bernice Greatrix would like to skate like Sonja Henie. Isn't she original? We could write a book about our class, but time and space do not permit it. Leslie Graham really rivals the sunset with his blush. If you have a good imagination Vou can picture Al- don Gourley and Eric Gladwin appearing studious. Then we hear the six School-Girlateers, Greta Harvey, Gladys Gally, Hannah Florence, Audrey Fer- guson and Edna Greir. Don Ford, Don Flett and Davis Graham are in the orches- tra. I guess the age of miracles has not ended yet. There are the F owlies-V enice and Gerald, or if we are too early, they are just not there! Then there is Leslie Fife, who has Miss I-Iick's permission to talk in classroom. Really, don't you think it might be wise to let Doreen Hill ask questions? She might make a good lawyer someday. There also are those who work railway time, stops included, but we won't be personal. Then there is Fannie Gishruan, our little big girl and our diminutive play- boy, Bill Greatrix.
