With awe and reverence. I am sure, these illustrious names shall be read by future generations who are fortunate enough to tread the halls of P.C.I. This year, we are especially proud of two V A-ers, Bar- bara Richardson and Jim Lillico, who were acclaimed, respectively, Head Girl and Head Boy of the graduating classes. Besides these we boast Rae Borland, president of the Students' Council, Shirley Richardson, president of the G.A.A. and Don Duncan, president of the B.A.A. Among those present are petite Berta Belleghem, that charming vocalist, Gwennie Bond, lVarren Gamble, who leads the First Aid, and those two lady-killers, Carmen Chase and Gerald Fitzgerald. In addition, we have the ir- resistible Poo', Hamilton, Jim Harvey, our class-room orator, and Frank Hogan, who is simply the victim of society. Nor must we forget Bill Henry, who, with Don Warne and Earl Routley, constantly Qirinxgs scholastic honours to Vital elements among the fair sex include Jean Dough- erty, our artist Doris Glover, Jaqueline ltlortson, the cynos- ure of more than one pair of eyes, and Pauline Paterson, P.C.I.'s gift to the Thespian art. John Hooper, incomparable interpreter of Artie Shaw, Jack Hope, and Keith Kidd, who, by the way. Ere: 3 mean rifle, also take a bow. And what about 'iSam King. our choice for next year's 1Iaple Leaf star. and Bud 1Iiller, whose art is a thing of beauty, or llac Powell, the little man with the big eyes,I and Ralph Rogow, who suc- cessfully managed our famous rugby team. Let us not pass by Dave, Rogers. who can drive model-T with the best of 'einz and there is Andy Scott. the mad chemist. and Duncan Seymour, one of our clever imports. The Echoes is well represented in V A by Bar- bara Scott, this year's Editor- Iin-chief, llargaret lVestbye. fCcmtinued on Page .ls REPORTER SEES IV A IN 440 B. C. 5 a v I HiIcety CI1iIce Echoes Round Ancient Stadium I Last night, while copying Ancient History notes, I fellI asleep. I dreamed I was sit-I ting on a page from my note, book, containing a description I of the Olympian Games held by the ancient Greeks. Look-f ing down, I discovered I wasl above the Stadium. ' Coming closer, I saw they beginning of a track race. In. the line-up, I was surprised to I see some of my mates from IV A - Black, Arn1strong,L Kelly, Henry, Bell, a n dl Moore. During this race I! glanced around and recognized ' many friends. N ear the refresh- ment booth was a gathering of y IV A talkers-J. Ketcheson,, B. Couper, II. Strickland, BJ Richardson, and II. Wood.

In the ranks were such Umph,' girls as H. Geale, G. ' Huffman. BI. lVaite. H. Blath- ias, and A. O'Leary. Such famous men as Carlisle. Gilles- pie, llarshall. and Kay. were standing nearby gazing at the girls. By this time the men's race was nearly finished, Black leading the field. Then. in the last few yards, an unknown runner, Kenner. passed him and won. A girl's race then began. In the line-up were Joy Walker. BI. Blunro, II. Robinson. A. Richardson. N. Timlin, J. Trotter. and D. Ross. It was a close race which ended with Joy and Norma tied for Brst place. Immediately. the familiar yell ':Hikety Chike arose, led by our cheer leaders J. John- ston, S. Boorman, and Clark. The loudest cheerers seemed to be IV A girls-II. MfcIntyre, O. Anderson, I. llichaud, D. Hutchinson, B. Allen, H. Bal- lard, W. Hunter, J. Hamley, and BI. Armstrong. Near this crowd a free-for- all wrestling match was tak- ing place. In the ring were those brawny members of IV A-Garner, G. Smith, fiIorrow, Scriver, Hatton, D. I Smith, Gray, and Hall. Scriver was the only one who surviv- Ied. The cheers awakened me 'and I found my homework still unfinished.-B.H. I I I I I I I I DEATH STALKS TREMBLING AUTHOR Did you notice how skill- fully Barrie Jack charmed those snakes II don't mean the ones in the balcony that hissed when I came on the stagel in a recent literary meeting? No doubt he and the snakes had something in common. Some day Verne lVhatley will get his just reward for his habit of pushing you fquite accidentallyl while you're try- ing to put your rubbers on. All J ack Hope's faults dwindle into insignificance be- cause tthis is a tipl he's sure to have that tough .Algebra problem. I sought an interview with John VVray but as 1Iiss Trum- pour showed no signs of re- linquishing him I gave up, firmly convinced. that Vera Vague is really only an amateur. The horrors of war no longer shock our linguist, Jim Davidson. He simply slu'ugs callously and says, C'est la guerref' In spite of all 1Iiss Beatty's speed she can't keep pace with that elusive algebraical fI'd like to call it something elsel Nth term. Just because the chorus girls weren't chosen from V B for the Lit, doesn't indicate that we haven't our beauties. Miss Clarke and Miss Arm- strong would have qualified easily for the part only 'The Dairy 3Iaid's Union wouldn't allow them to appear in a play in which beer was served. fAlthough I have been re- liably informed by those in- separable realists, Frank Pam- mett and Carmen Bell, that it wasn't real beer at alll.
