P.C.V.S.. 19 L0 Xl COMMERCIAL'S PROBLEM IS SKIRT Well. students. here's your chance to tind out just what happens in your form room. lVould you understand if I said a certain co-ed. namely, Miss Wells, is wearing a St. All pin? Mr. Shearer just can't un- derstand why a certain red- head is confusing cooking with typing. This young lass must be mixing her dates. Hou' to Blake Jloney. It seems that certain lIisses Leonard. Gishman and Shear- er. are always borrowing combs and cosmetics. VVhy not lend these on commission? YYouldn't you like time out between periods, Miss Flor- ence and Miss Keliele and also you Miss Friendship, just so you may comb your hair without disturbinv' History I'eriods ? All the boys are so very modest. with the exception of Austin Haig. that I feel that I should not pry into their affairs as much as I should like to. Now there's that little D troubador Bylott. who always leads the class. and Bothwell and Mason who do have the grandest times in Literature classes. Then there's Cox and Paterson. the girls' dream- boys. who are so very bash- ful. Come out of your shells. boys. and give the girls a break. BLM. certainly agrees with me. don't you. hIarg.? Mr. Toole seems doubtful whether or not we are a bril- liant class as a whole. but already we have Strano who does the disappearing act. Here today and gone tomor- row. hletheral is our strong man who carries the heavy burden on Ancient History on his head. I wonder what Rutherford and Brown are thinking of now. or are they? Can it be that Literature period ahead? Now why is it lliss Ander- son always has her work done? Is it because she stays for lunch? It seems we have a very good Dagwood in the Com- VA BOY IS GREAT MUSICIAN tffontiizzzed from Page 15 Literary Editor, and Frank Smoke, hIanaging Editor. To these add Grenfell Trumpour and Phil tShut-outj Turner. Alton Van Allen. who is wait- ing for the next overseas con- tingent. and Earl Westman. and you may get some idea of the importance of the mem- bers of V A. Helen Smoke. ltlarjorie Tinker. Helen VVell1nan, and Loreen VVellwood complete the galaxy of V A femininity, while last. but far from least. we would mention Doug. Wolfe. who claims that silence IS a virtue, and Alec Young, dynamic past-president of the Students' Council. Of such, dear reader, is V A and as a graduate of 19-110 tnote vivid optimisml my only hope is that, in the years to come. Mr. Zavitz' roll-call will always be as in- teresting as this one.

The Baby Dumplings are the Misses Grose. Brown, Mil- burn. Marshall, Junkin and Campanaro. but they all lack little stools. I have a very great prob- lem to put before the class. Ivhat i11 the world can we do about Julie Ballard's P. T. skirt? Honorary mentions are: Miss Grose is Vice President of the Students' Councilg Miss Hatton is Form Representa- tive of the Students' Councilg Nliss Campanaro is Form Representative of the G.A.A. and Harold Mfason is Form Representative of the B.A.A.

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.

E n i d Smith. an enthusiastic young artist. used a little too much enthusiasm one day when she tried to paint the floor, walls, and sink in Bliss Montgom- ery's room a brilliant red. VVe understand Doreen Hill has become a sleuth. watching every move, furtive or other- wise made by a certain unsus- pecting Industrial Arts XI boy. Margaret Gertley, better known as Miss Willoughby to ardent play-goers. will be our noted representative in the school production. Betty Jary. although she is not in Household Arts XI. has decided that she will make a better Wife than stenographer. so she is now taking Advanced Household .Xrts after struggl- ing through four months of Special Commercial. Questions have been pour- ing into our form as to whether the boy who an- nounces the Junior Signallers' meeting is Connie Lew1s's brother. IVe hasten to assure you that they are not that closely related. Un Friday morning we spent a riotous period with the boys f N, X A fl--. Y, If j AI, -ls. iixg I 1' f ' X 4 ,s,-'t f as - .

Lorna Andrus looks over her price- less stamps. Mary Masters admires her art and so does Helen Allen. Dorothy Franks measures her height with that ol' Rose Botnick.
