Stew Joyes: That some day he will be called Stew instead of Stanley. QUESTIONS: Does Stanley .Ioyes need glasses or is it Beth fat whom he winks all the time?I VVhy doesn't lNIonica Law- less ever bring her own pen- cils, pens. etc., and stop saying Gloria lend me etc.. ete. ? 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.

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.

Vvho are the students who took highest honours during the fall term? . . . you are right. Lois Humphries, Jesse Lines, and Boy Howson. Who is the boy who thinks any time of day is all right to drop into school? . . . right again, George Gray. Ken Hotrum Cwhen he takes out time from chewing gumi is our handsome form representative. Ah, who is our rising star in volley-ball? . . . the answer-Audrey Lacey. Why does IX E possess such tall, handsome lads as Hooper. Hanes, Hopgood, Hall. Hill, Hamlin, Hartshorn, Hanbidge, H o w s o n. and Green? Iglll afraid the other forms are out of luck. Some of the smaller. yet by no means underestimated, lassies are VVillene Hope, Glady King. Joan Leslie, Dot Higgins. hlaxine Kidd, Isobel Heath, J une Killingbeck, Helen Hayward, Jean Law- son a11d Shirley Jeffries. VVhy are John Hinton, Francis Hendren, and Byron Heath so quiet, when Glen Harrison, Arthur Gertley, and Wallace Harrison are always ready to talk? I hope Miss Thompson won't disown us because of this summary! IX A HOLDS VOLLEYBALL PENNANT Let us drag you tluough an exhausting first period with IX A, just to give you an idea of what we suffer. VVhen the bell rings every- body squeals and rushes to the room. tIt is always dis- appointing to find that second bell doesn't ring till about two minutes after you get there, isn't it?J IVell, llr. Bamforth pops in to say, Read from pages 60 to 70 and don't make any noise. Naturally we im- mediately start to make a terrific racket. You can't ex- pect anything else from the champion talkers. After a while Mr. Bamforth comes in and asks a whole lot of ques- tions which no one can an- swer, so he gives it up as a bad job. That is how we go on, ap- parently doing nothing, but we seem to get somewhere be- cause the Junior Girls Volley- ball pennant is tacked up on the wall and Alan Boate, our head boy, did very well on the Christmas Exams. VVell, I feel that I'm wast- ing valuable space which might be used in a better way.
