IVe often wonder why Blil- dred H a n w e l l blushes so attractively Wllell IV B Aca- de1nic's line passes. 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 - .

Ive are quite sure the shouts of llaughter awoke lIr. Davirl's class on the next floor. ltiss Baileys room is also noted for its ventilation. It not only gives us fresh air. but it serenades us with what we know as Paul VVhiteman's theme song. Yve are consider- ing putting in a request to Bfiss Yveddell for some of Kay Kaiser's music.-CL.

It FORRI Nnws, P.C.V.S.. 194-0 FORM NEWS EDITOR- BEVERLY WH ITE Asst Editors-J. Wallis, A. Connell, R. Rose, F. Alcoclc, B. Garner APRIL, 71940 g vgot. 26 The Form News this year is ha1'dly recognizable. Gone are the space-wasting theme songs and the valiant attempts tor are we being too kindi at writing poetry. All this is replaced by the more legible newspaper style. which makes our magazine an improved Hllfl 1noder11 school book. It is only with the able assistance of June IYallis. Arlie Connell. Bob Garner, Rex Rose. and F1'ank Alcock. that this section has bee11 compiled: so 11ow they take a well-earned rest while your form news editor endeavours to fill this space with reading matter. The form reporters set an astounding record this year-about one third of the desired number of reports were turned in on the date set. It is very disheartening to realize that the majority of these were from the first forms. Scattered through the form news section this year will be noticed a number of sketches. which have been done by a most industrious Art Department. There are more than there were last year and they are drawn with an eye to being humorous. We agree that they are not necessarily Hattering, but vanity must be for- saken in editing a magazine. Reading through this section. you will notice the almost complete absence of the old perennials Hash', and illustrious -a great obstacle overcome by a daunt- less Echoes staff. CHIVALRY DISAPPEARS VVe are led to understand by a certain incident that occured in the ninth grades. that chivalry in the school is almost an unheard-of grace. A boy was assigned to write his forn1's news. He was in the form reporters' picture-but when the time came for him to turn in his report, he handed the job over to a girl. Is this the chivalry of our school? VVe hope it is only an exception. The advertisers of The Echoes have been very loyal this year. Even though there is a war going on. the firms, companies. stores and private practices have advertised. The Echoes is very appreciative of this co- operation. We didnit know that Hrst formers knew such big words. One used parsimonious. and another nphysiog- nomyf' VVe had to look these up in the dictionary Cfor shamell Upon searching furtively through other magazines for other Form News editors' editorials. we made the heart-rending discovery that there are not many. Those other editors do not realize how lucky they are. After struggling for four nights we obtained enough space on the table in The Echoes office to get this editorial written. The office is the busiest place in the school- after school hours. Someone is typing. someone is run- ning around with a sheaf of papers. someone pasting- everybody doing something. It is with this picture that we would leave you. so that when you see us resting later in the year, you'll know that we deserve it. Page Sirvty-four XI A KNOWN AS GUIDING STAR Form XI A Academic is as a guiding star whose bright light illuminates the path of duty for those Of lesser clay who follow its lead. You. our readers, will perhaps think this a rash statement, so let me present the follow- ing facts to substantiate it. Margaret Langley an d Norma Elcombe were scholar- ship winners last year. Dorothy Parkhill, B ob Carley, Arthur Bunnell. Lloyd Williamson and Davis Gra- ham are all working for The Echoes. Christine Carlisle and Bob Carley represented the form in a lively debate with XI C. Although the decision was in favour of XI C. we are in- deed proud of their valiant stand. Bill Harle. Captain of the Senior Rugby Team. and Les Graham and Tom Craig of the Junior. battled it out on the old gridiron for the honour of the School last fall. Bill also plays basketball. The form hockey team, in which most of the lads of the form starred. is still leading in the series of games with XI B. It would never do to forget the girls. especially in a room where they outnumber the boys two to one. Many like Jean Castle. are interested in baseball. Not a few pitch a fast ball and pack a mean wallop, with a batf' Among the foremost of the musically inclined of the School. are the talented Elsie Chambers, heard at the piano at each morning assembly. Davis Graham, who plays in the orchestra, and June Bur- rows, our singing star. VVith the budding drama- tists are found Connie Nichol- son, Ruth Telford, hlarie Casey, June Burrows, and Bob Carley, busily engaged learning their lines for the School Plav, Quality Street. We regret that limited space precludes the enumera- tion of various interests in which other members of the form are engaged. We hope, UNUSUAL ARTIS- TIC ENDEAVOURS IN IX I I shall try and put down on paper a clear description of our brilliant form as it goes 011 its daily round through the Collegiate. Ivhen the morning bell rings we are in our form room, but a few stragglers always seem to saunter in several minutes later. Ilsually they are curly-headed Robertson and Sills, who wakens the class with his thump of heels. First period is English, where Miss Brown tries to teach us our proper language, but it appears to be no use. How- ever, by June we hope the more talented students, Lois VVright, .Ioan Smedmor, and Dorothy Thorpe, will know thc difference between a noun and a verb. Next comes Geography where Ralph says the capital of Australia is London, and Sisson, Steward, and the Samis Sisters catch up on some sleep. Then We go to Mathematics. Here Sullivan and Sheppard try to get their homework done be- fore Mr. David takes it up. After ltlathematics has ended we go to History. Sanderson suddenly gets thirsty on that dry subject and remembers the attendance board which he left in the Mathematics room. In the afternoon We have French. Here Slaughter, San- tomero and Sutcliffe .sit and watch the snow slide off the Armouries roof. VVhen French is over we take Science. Here- Amelda Traviss and Marjorie Schaus try to make us more unconscious by turning on the gas jet. After Science We go- up the stairs for two periods of Art, where we spend our time drawing pictures of The Little ltlan Who Wasn't There. The four o'clock bell rings and we start home, after a happy school day.-B.S. I however, that this brief out-- line will give you an insight into some of the activities of' our class, past, present and X future.-A.B.
