BOY CHARMS SNAKES QCOIIIJII-ZIECI from Page ll Our form is also blessed by that financial wizard. John Bannister. and that snappy basketeer fsome with more authority say racketeerl Bill Moorehead. Ivell. old Father Time has his scythe right against my throat lDon't you wish you could jostle his arm, Barrie?l and so I say. Mucchas Grac- cias QI really know the cor- rect Spanish-I mean Ger- manl which means, fonly a literal translation of coursel- ha! ha! If you have read this far then the title has served its purposef, I can't give you a system for winning friends but this is a good way to keep them - DON'T VVRITE FORM NEVVS. JITTERBUG INFESTS I'll try to give you some in- formation about IV B. VVe have two lovers of the dance -Leone Comstock, who is a graceful ballerina, and Wvalter Dunford who likes a Ballar- dina. Eric Taylor, Andy Scott. Nels Foster, and Ralph Johnston, Cwho p r e f e r s blondesl are heart throbs on the gridiron as well as in the class room. Some of us are really hon- oured. VVe take special Latin! Here Sammie Andrew is Miss Mc-Intosh's bright hope. How does he do it? Bob Crocker LUCKLESS FORM has a few classes as a side- line from his extra-curricular activities. Hazel Davis, June Pidgeon. and Elta Van Allen are the girls who always do their homework. S h i r l e y Ashby thinks that fclix really means cat. In literature, Crowe and Shearer. his accomplice, do a fine job at seeing to Mr. Hale's amusement. Betty Barr, Eleanor Taylor, and Dorothy Bateson are always having a homey chat. We also have a contribution from down Keene way in the persons of VB Verna Hope, Lenore Stewart, and Isobel Howson. Also of IV B are Jewitt Parr and Eleanor Rosborough but I need not go into detail, need I? Jack Cranford, a jitterbug, is just crazy about In the M oocl. Jack Roper also pre- fers blondes, but Shirley Zacks prefers red-heads. Eleanor Irwin gets nice looks from the boys and measles all in one year!

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. I ,wt 2 aff X Z--fa 'milk g. :.T. as H ZA, Q,- - , -.4-S ' ' x?E':ii Vi I , fl III: I if .af It .5 In a corner of the 'field was a troupe of glamour girls, led by Goldie Shaw, who were just leaving to sell cigarettes. 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.

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.

Mary Pierce and Keith Sproule have been noticed with a couple of third forrners. Marion Foster is the secretary of the G.A.A., Eleanor Glover, a whizz bang at the piano, is always seen with Erminie Gurney. By the way, Frances Ruskin is the girl that knows all the answers. IV B welcomes Cleta Galvin and Clara Nisbett to P.C.I. Barbara Best and Nlary Curry just love French. Joan Mel- ton and Iris Fitzgerald are in- separable. Mary and Jessie Haddow are our two candi- dates from Bolivia. Cran- fieldis theme song is Nya, you can't catch me. Other IV B-ites are Bill Thompson, Roy Hudson, Beverly Bruce and Archie Wilson. , Miss Kirkwood: Your face is clean, but how did you ever get your hands so dirty? First Former: Washing my face. We have many types of people in our class. There is the genius for history, Ellen Elm- hurst, who often confounds lVIr. Pettit with the right answer. Clegg fPeeweeD Hall is the Clarke Gable type. Marg. Laurie is repeatedly trying to wash his neck with snow. The studious type is very ably represented by Harry llIcKnight whose ambition is to become a speed car driver. Gordon Lupton and Betty Hughes are our special skiing instructors, Gordon skiing on his nose, Betty standing at the top of the hill to show off her new jacket. Stanley McCurragh and Jerry Fowlie consider them- selves too young for school since they are never at school. This fever is catching Very rapidly. Stroyan Leith. our pinhole camera expert, has promised to take a picture of our basketball stars, Gladys Galley and Bill Gardiner, also of Jim Ferguson, always asleep and of Don lDocb NIcPherson, our chief excuse-maker. VVhat class could be dull with Ed. Geraghty as the best cat imitator, Bill Kemp, our ace paper-tearer, Jim Gose- lin our extraordinary candy- eater, and Ed. Gorman, Wm. Wrigley's chief supporter. VVe actually saw Gorman pack ten sticks of gum into his own mouth as an advertisement! Bluriel Hall. alias Sonja Henie, has found a fellow en- thusiast in Betty Cook. Alden Gourley, after two weeks of hard work growing his moustache, shaved it off! VVe wonder why? When Tom Lillico drives a car he always seems to land up in a ditch. What will Howard Green look like in a cadet uniform? VVe can't even guess. Three times our form has met XI A in a hockey match. Sticks went flying, pads went Hying, and pucks went flying -mostly into XI A's goal. SP. COM.
