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. N.B.-Any similarity in this narrative to persons liv- ing or dead is certainly not a coincidence. spare time watching the girls passing by the Assembly Hall.

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

SL'GGEsr1oNs: Anybody. knowing the whereabouts of Levasseur's brains just ignore this notice as he has mislaid them for so long. he wouldn't know how to use them anyhow. Bob Lyons. Lenore lklather. and Vivien hlartin could make quite a profit in selling their homework to those who never do any. WANTED: Somebody to do H e rb Henry's homework and re- mind him to bring everything to school. A muzzle for John lNIatchet to stop him from talking, also one for Lillico. and Jewell. Ear-plugs and dark glasses to keep Lila from hearing and seeing what lI'Iarg. is doing and saying. and also a gag to keep her from laughing. New excuses for not doing homework for King. Killing- P.C.I. THOUGHT GREATLY IMPROVED P. C. I. was greatly 11n- proved this year with the in- troduction of a new IX G. Now I shall proceed to tell a few tales about the new edi- tion. 'l'. Mcfoullough forgot his books one day and when Miss Lees asked him the next day where he found them. he brightly told l1cr under a thousand hats. Any lIon- crief who wants to add style to his name. spell it like this beck, Jones, Hogg. Kimball. Leeming and La Plant. A mathematics teacher for Jeannette lIachIorran. and a history teacher for Evelyn Knox. Ruth lNIashelI is the genius who always knows the right answer in IIIEILIIGIIIZIIICS. If Laing sold all the thoughts that come into his mind dur- ing English he would be a millionaire Itoo bad he never thinks about the English.I 1Ioncrieff. Rheta Nelson and Viola Neals have higher interests than school-work. The fUl'Ill9l'iS interest is in IV Industrial Arts. and the lat- ter's in a young farmer on the Port Hope highway. Jean Powers knows the way out of examinations is measles. Jeanne hletcalfe and Gor- don lXIathews would make a good pair. that is. as far as sports are concerned. B. lIoore is the ancient historian of IX G. J. Pettersonc and P. BIeiklejohn are future movie stars. so say a second and third fo1'mer. D. hIathias marches his turkey feet proud- Iy up the desks to amuse his classmates. IX G thinks it is popular to he blessed with couples. having pairs each of lNIills. hloores. and hIoncriefs. IVe wonder why H. lNIurphy walks very stately past the piano in lI'Iiss IVeddeIl's room. The remaining pupils are very satisfactory. so say all the teachers.-J.P.
