FORBI Nisws, P.C.V.S., 19-1-O 9 X CS LITTLE X B BOY WRITES MAN WHO WASN'T THERE il..- We now have the pleasure of bringing to you a variety feature, tidings of X C. Tops of the form in the Christmas exams were Evelyn Martin and Harold llather, both of whom obtained Grade IX scholarships last year. D. Blil- burn. Ruth Sage. and A. Sc-holes merit commendation too. This paragraph is reserved for B. hIcBride. hIcB1'ide is again this year the main punching bag of the form. He is now recovering, as we are glad to learn, from an ap- pendicitis operation. X C is proud to boast that cur form has a representative of every club in the school. B. Cuppy battered his way into the junior rugby team. C. iNIcVVilliams manages this or- ganization of young rough- necks. J. Patterson and Eva Parr play their part in the orchestra fwonder what they do play?l. Ruth Sage and Betty Stewart strain their vocal cords in the Glee Club. R. Blackwell represents the form on the Literary execu- tive, and our athletic repre- sentatives are Jane Strick- land and J. Sackville. BI. Metcalfe is again this year the little man who wasn't there. If you want a laugh just take a look at A. John- ston's comic strips. Since'B. Scott was deposit- ed ahead of the girls by Bliss Howson. we boys can very well understand why he canit resist the temptation to re- verse directions once in a while ClVIargery lIcGee sits behind himl. How is it pos- sible for J. Newton and B. Farrow to take in any mathe- matics when hlary Hatchet and Judy Clark sit in the near vicinity? Putting in a word for all the girls. we must say that they are outstanding in beauty and brains Knot too much stress on the brainsl. Three parts of the girls don't seem to grasp the fact that we take science at all. while we boys, when our pens wear HIS WILL Let me introduce you to the members of our intellectual form X B.

Another hour of hair pulling disclosed a bottle, with only an in- finitesimal amount of ink: so I wrote with the charcoal from burnt matches. Before start- ing I set down my last will and testament and made the editor promise this article would be anonymous. I am not going to mention anything a b o u t skipping school because there is a truant officer's son in our form. Bill Loomis, who might tell daddy. The late hh. hlac- key achieved his secret ambi- toin by arriving on time, February thirtieth. Harold Louden who does his best thinking when asleep. is usual- ly awakened by strains of music from the four members of the Glee Club: Dorothy Frost. Patricia Hardie, Helen hfoncrief. and Anna Hubel and also by the inharmonious crooning of Leslie Groom- bridge and Dorell Heffernan. Jim Hooper and Nancy Nfoore. our scholarship win- out, can easily find enough interrogations to keep Mr. Richardson busy till old faithful rings. I I I I I Drawing by VIOLA BREADMAN, IX J ners. are establishing a home- work bureau which does one's homework for a nominal fee. Max Florence and Jack Hill of the signalling corps, protect our school from sabotage - they would! Norma Gray doesnit know whether to ac- cept Paramount's or Colum- biays offer. Probably after her debut in the school play she won't have either choice. I see I've used up my three hundred words. If you don't believe me, count them. So long. You can tell a second former By the way she swells her chest. You can tell a third former By the way she's neatly dressed. You can tell a fourth former By her conscious pride and such. You can tell a fifth former But you can't tell her much. Page Sixty-seven

S FORM News, P.C'.V.S.. 194-0 XI BCD BOY GIVES BED TO BEAR .lust before nine every morning there is a general drifting of the XI B. C. D. boys to the Electrical Lab. There we find out what home- work should have been done the preceding night, discuss the latest war news, and com- ment, on hockey games, our leader being the energetic ticket-collector at Rye's-Jack Ainslie. One of the most popular topics was Don West- lake's account of how he slept in the barn five nights to let the bear get out of the attic. C olin Jack, gasping for breath. usually charges in with thirty seconds to spare. lNIr. VVeames Hnally gets the attendance cards distributed and we go to the Assembly Hall, where we are led in song by Jim Hawthorne, Eric llc- Bain, the wavy-haired bass, Ainslie, Tivy, and Sage.

I f TD el :ffm rt-it 1173 SKII CHAMPION In English class, Jim Brown, six foot one of bone and muscle, obligingly writes along the top of the board so that the shorter teacher cannot reach it. At Auto iilechanics Hart- shorn continues his lecture on the merits of a motorcycle and Mitchell plies his trade of chief battery terminal taker-offer. Jack Cupoli, the New York play-boy with the evasive smile, and Jackson labour vainly trying to start. broken-down cars. At the beginning of the afternoon session Todd mur- murs in that Southern lazy drawl, I don't know what you have. deary, but we have TYood TVorking. Poast usually joins the group here. He explains that the roads were blocked. At the end of the day Cupoli can be heard bitterly complaining about Duncan using all the locker, and as a grand finale. like the flag being lowered at sunset, Elmliirstfs hat bobs away down the hall.-R.R. X B GIRL IS FUTURE MODEL X B Commercial is that snappy businesslike form in Room 39. Miss Park is the form teacher and the pupils are her secret delight. Now to outline some of its celebrities. lloorhead is our basketball hero and Armstrong is that fellow who made those flashy touchdowns this fall with the P. C. I. Seniors - or were they sitdowns? Paul Mfeeks, Peter the Hermit, will be pensioned off if he remains at school much longer. Reg. Leether is our acrobatic goal minder. VVallace Parnell. great horn blower, is now starring in Gone YVith the Wind. Bill Jordan at last has his main ambition as his hair is like Dagwood's. Douglas VVilson represents the telephone directory for such names as ltlisses Storey. Pue. Primeau, Sloan, Wil- liams. Simmons and Preston. Gerald ltlonkman is a. ski X A ACADEMIC CONSIDERS AMPLIFYING SYSTEM Meet good old X A, where talent is as plentiful as fail- ure in the History examina- tion. Let me introduce also Miss Moore. our form teacher, and Fred Garner, the form representative. Medals are plentiful. Camp- bell and Hanbidge hold marksmanship medals, and others are held by Misses Abbott and Blaiklock for life- saving. Boyer and Ford ought to receive medals for gum- chewing. Lynn Head holds a canoeing trophy. llisses Turner and Abbott are on the Badminton com- mittee while the Basketball captains are Alcock and Campbell. Examination results show six students with results over 75W. All of them are boys, too! tShame girlsll In order of standing. they are: Brown. Allen. Crowe. Boyd, Dinsdale, Garner. Bliss Blaiklock and Gordon Diplock are the G.A.A. a11d B.A.A. representa- tives. The members of the Glee Club are hlisses Chase, Fisk, Flett and Zavitz. The camera club members include Bliss Zavitz, Boyd, Brown, Crowe and Walter Hanbidge, who won an Echoes' photography prize last year. Ford and Chambers represent the or- chestra, and Sellon and Dins- dale are in the signal corps. Events have led us to wonder if Bliss Blclntosh would faint if Boyer ever had his Latin homework done, and if Fanning could ever stop wiggling to oblige lVIiss Howson. Fern Agnew must love arguments, judging from what we hear in English class. There is at least one mem- ber of the class who wishes that lNIr. C1'aig would omit some of the gruesome details during health lectures. He is William Allen. Rumor has it that amplify- ing systems will shortly be rented for Eleanor Brown and Jim English, to save the teachers ear-straing and that someone will be hired to polish Miss hIoore's glasses during first period. The time-well, time to go to bed: and so ladies and gentlemen, good evening and thank you.-S.B. champion and VVebster a writer of a famous dictionary. Ralph Braund is a prominent young musician. Dean Cut- more leads the way to higher learning. Of the girls there is much to say. Helen Thompson with her brilliant mind heads the class. B. lVIoore takes her regular walk down the hall to obtain a drink-or is it to see some familiar face? June Patterson in a few years will be a model in one of the big stores in Peterborough. Nellie Smith is going to be the TVorld's Champion Athlete Girl. if lNIiss Bailey continues to be her teacher. Mildred Rusaw's ambition is to quit school. Stewart is very Keene and Blade is the boy with the Roman nose. Shaughnessy is a professor and Mills a fox farmer. Shea will some day replace Turk Broda. Hess is a pocket edition of Tarzan. Patterson and hlaloney are future Joe Louis'g Travis is tall, dark, and handsome. Last of all is Wall.-T.B. COMPLIMEN TS OF H LIMITED Page Sixty-six T E Peterborough Loclc Manufacturing Company

ARTS X CD BOY REQUIRES PARTNER Ross Kirn spent Saturday night in the thriving town of Lakefield in search of a pa1't- ner of the fairer sex. Our two forms AB and CD are composed of some fifty boys of the hard-working type. such as Andy Basciano, F1'3.I1l'l Boyle. Robert Lacey, Edmund Reid. and Paul Lazure. Although they do their homework at home. such brilliant students as James Thexton. Ernest Rutherford, Norris Dafoe. IValter Halla- day. and Harry Johnson do a lot of writing before nine o'clock in the Assembly Hall. If you are out shopping for good-looking boys. why not visit our form? Vile could fix up a prize package of hand- some young men such as Reg lzlurns. Jack Carpenter. James I IJ :uname-cwjjlil Q, fl '2 +vAX, 3 Young. Don Trude-or if you like, Alex Edwards in place of them all. Robert Robertson has a sore nose as a result of teach- ing one of the weaker sex to box. In the basket ball field We have two budding basketeers -Henry Clapham and Ray Routly. Top boy of the form was Garth Choate. In the boxing line we have David Baxter, Lionel Hart, Fred lNIason. Ray VVatson, Ralph McConkey, Craig Eason, Frank Gosselin, Jack Mc- Donald, and Gerald Condon. VVe would suggest that Robert Honour, Gordon Lee, Edward Hynes and Edward Bestard add an extra period to their time-tables to allow for their time after four each night. Our brilliant history pupil, Don Ketchabaw, spends his SP. COM. GIVES FORM TOUR lC'ontinued from Page 31 writer. but let me point out that she is not related to the IYizard of Oz. Don't Oz-k me how I know. Get it. I bet not? Now, you will also see the o11ly red-headed Eskimos in the world except in Alaska. They go under the name of Agnes Weir, Alan Moldaver, and Dorothy Harle. They will surprise you by singing South of the Borderf, In fact, the farther south, the better you'll like it. For the gentlemen who pre- fer blondes. we have Marjorie Foster. Dorothy Boyle, and Betty Middleton. IVe know of one gentleman who prefers blondes in general. one in par- ticular. How about it, Ken? There are still six or seven boys left in the room. I'Vho knows. maybe Ted Johnston or Jim Milbourne will win a medal for typing, I doubt. hlary Hall and Nora Cork- ery can give you legal advice if you need it. They should bc called the Dorothy Dixes of Special Commercial. I hope Phyllis Simpson and Elva Darling enjoy them- selves those afternoons when the rest of us are struggling along. Of course. it is no struggle for such people as Audrey Dainton and Viola Davidson. The Songbird of P.C.V.S. , alias Olga IVestbye, with Vivian Sullivan, and Don hic- Kinlay, will all be on hand to show you the beautiful scenes of our Frozen Land. The main one is Joan Eldred. Finally, just to make it realistic. Mary Clancy, Eve- lyn Hill, Bill Ferguson. Blar- jorie Benson. Rita Spencer, Harold Florence, Dorothy Kelly, Mary Stewart and Angeline Burns will each sit on a block of ice.
