FORM NEWS, P.C.V.S., 1938 13 CLASSIFIED ADS OF IX B PERSONAL We are thinking about instal- ling a merry-go-round in room 16 for Messrs. Bartley, Barrin- ger, and not as an amusement before class. It has been in the air that Miss Cox is going to Hollywood as a double for Shirley Temple- get it? For the benefit of Misses Burn- ham, Boyle, Ballard and B. Bothwell, a silver collection will be taken up to secure a mirror twice the size of the present one for the locker room. Miss Castle's main ambition is to become a professional basket-ball player. The very sophisticated Miss Coones is planning a trip around the school during the next few weeks. This trip will be mostly a sight-seeing tour. GUM DINTS WASTE BASKET IX G Restful QQ Form Even if teachers do claim IX G is a restful form, we do have our good points, mostly in the form of thumb-tacks and some straight pins. One of our teachers, Miss Park, to be sure, is still peeved, but how was Tony to know that his gum would dint her waste paper basket. A few of the political members of the form haven't reached an agreement yet as to which of the members would be most sur- prised if Jack Perry failed to ask for a slight loan until the fol- lowing Tuesday. We don't know how shocked Miss O'Connell would be if Phyllis Marshall did bring her Composition book for a change' Another mystery of the form is why, when Harold McAdams has to stay in after school, the agent for the Keene bus should call for him when he doesn't even live in that direction? Who said they didn't like Science? just watch Muriel McCarrell and Bob Parnell per- form experiments with Mr. Cor- neil's new inkwells. Let someone ask why Mr. Richardson gives Marion Mac- key a reserved seat, why Miss Bailey advises Katy McTeage to specialize in ballet dancing for a stage career, and why Jack Moore is so partial to American Beauty collars and ties. G. M. WANTED Wanted A guide to keep Bill Guppy on the right track during History periods. Wanted Remembrance cards to be given to such students as Bell, Bedford, Bullock and Chimenti as a reminder for them to bring dictionaries to Literature classes. Wanted Professional eye-speci- alist who can be on hand to re- pair glasseslwhen called upon by M. Cunningham and S. Butcher. Wanted A buyer for text-books. Cupoli will guarantee that none of these books are soiled as they were seldom used. Wanted Someone who can trace J. Craig's whereabouts before class. Found Coit and Caravagge were found loitering around the girls' locker-room. Why? WONDERS Do you ever wonder why Miss S. Bothwell didn't go to Hollywood as a comedian? Do you ever wonder what family of butlers Shirley But- ler comes from? Do you ever wonder why Miss Collins ever bothers with Busi- ness Practice? Do you ever wonder where Miss R. Brown found her rural rhythm? Do you ever wonder how Miss M. Brown secured such high re- sults? Do you ever wonder how Carley can think of such big words for such a little man? Do you ever wonder how Bris- co and J. Brown Find time to till in the periods during the days? E.

S. A. KING IN FORM IX E There are two boys who keep us posted in the radio world. Stroyan Leith and Ken King are especially good in this line of work. Jim Joiner is doing a little boxing these days. Does that account for the battle scars? Two important characters in IX F are the Lockie twins who are always good little girls. CNote -except when they are notlj Loomis is the form representa- tive when it comes to herring fishing. If Harry Leahy would wake up and live in the French class we would probably lie down and die. Not many forms can boast of a King in their midst. Vive le Roi! Everyday we look anxiously to see if by any chance Miss Leonard has both her Books and her P. T. outfit, if Miss Beryl Lee has grown any overnight, if Miss Johnston really and truly has her gum, and if Lupton's moustache has caught up on him. Tom Lillico must drive his mother crazy asking her ques- tions. A recent debate shows that it would not pay to get into an argument with Teressa Laws or Colin Jack. We have discovered that al- though Connie Lewis seems to hear nothing, see nothing, and say nothing, she can caricature everybody to some purpose. The first week of the nevi term began all right till the second period Monday morning. IX j.'S FINANCES TEMPT THIEF Yes, it's a well known fact that our Mathematics are very good. Why someone actually scored sixteen, and somebody else made twenty-eight. In Physical Training when Miss Bailey gives the order, Balls in the corner, half the class starts to move. But as most of us are of the same build fhard to pierce and hollow inside, it doesn't make much difference. Sage and Scott really ought to be examined to find out where they obtained the sense of hum- our, for in every class we enter they have to sit down on thumb tacks. We are beginning to wonder if it's as innocent as it appears. We have now ceased to worry as to how Mr. . . came to be married, for we have found that he has just the right touch when paying compliments. Miss . . ., and Miss , , ex- change a paper on which was a beautiful OD girl. Mr. ,. , inquired who the beautiful lady was. One of the Miss Wilsons men- tioned to me that Jack Sackville took nine and one-half in shoes. CHow did she find out FD In the last few days there has been great discussion and a lot of deep thinking on the part of the pupils. This great endeavour was made in favour of the party the form has decided to have. We have been going on a sleigh ride, a skiing and tobogganing party, and skating on the canal, but after three periods debating, we have decided to have a skat- ing party and go to Mrs. Tel- ford's for refreshments. We ex- pected about tive to turn out un- til they heard there were to be eats. To this same party a young gentleman, called Westlake has been assigned to bring about 25 or 30 apples. We are thinking of hiring Cooney's Transport to help him along. We have so much money we really ought to consider a bank account - fifteen cents might tempt a thief. However: We may be foolish and funny And we may not have any money But 'zoe'll travel along Singing a song All day long. B. W. Ever since then we have been living in dread for fear some one should point a finger at us and say we failed. Well, there is one consolation, we don't have any more headaches till Easter, but when we look at the calen- dar, we see Easter is not far away. Speaking on behalf of the pupils of IX F, we wish you 111 the best of luck in the com- ing year. J. L. Page Sevenly-three

After such a session, however, it would be soothing to have Merrill Tor- toiseshell Smith swing out on some peaceful lullabv such as Midnight in the Madhouse. That is just to mention a few of the many interesting person- alities of V A, along with roles which they might, at one time or another, play in our lives. One must realize, of course, that thi- is only an inkling of the talent of our notorious form. Let it suffice for more to say that every branch of school activity is rep- resented in the form, Students' Council, Athletic Societies, Glee Club, Camera Club, Orchestra.
