BURTOL SUPER-CLEANERS 425 George St. Phone 4581 FORM IX E FEARS DISOWNEIG This is your form reporter. reporting for IX E, and a pleasure it is. 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.

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.

FORM Nisws, P.C,V.S., 194-0 13 HOUSEHOLD ARTS X IS PROUD OF JITTERBUG TEAM Household Arts X is a small form-just an even two dozen. And are we bright? Well, Jllllt? VVallis got a hundred in History! Being familiar with the old proverb the way to any man's heart is through his stomach , Eleanor Collins has decided to become one of those perfect old-time gals. Eileen Dauncey admits that she abhors work: so why waste time in getting her interested? Margaret Lowe could give Miss Gerrard a real shock i11 sewing classes, but Irene Ellis amazes us all with her fast-flying fingers. Agnes Reid put Keene on the map with her knowledge of making good button-holes. Small but efficient Volley- ball sports are Leah Davis and Vera llitchell, while Shirley Butler and Lamoyne Cook lend a. decorative touch to the gymnasium wall. I just know Irene Moore, celebrated skater of her neighborhood, will succeed Sonja I-Ienie. Mary Hanlon, our Cshy??j young Spanish miss, is just what the musical world has been looking for: .I oy c e Gallagher and Freda Gray, our jitterbug team. will go far on their dancing feet. I was glad our form had at least one representative at the School At Home. Agnes Pogue is still thrilled. ive often wonder wh y Phyllis Doughty's sentences always begin with Er-um- ah. Could it be the uncer- tainty of love? Jean lNIcCall is our little lady in red, small and shy, but very sweet. Twinkling-eyed Irene Stew- art and serious brown-eyed Evelyn Tedford are both small. But don't pick a quar- rel with them. tThey're dang- erous.D D o gentlemen p r e fe r blondes? If so, Dorothy Tel- ford and Phyllis Constable are the lucky ones in our form. Blarian Barrett adds the colour to our form. She is Miss Montgomery's s t a r pupil. Fern Brown is runner- up. FORM IX D HARBOURS FUTURE ORCHESTRA LEADER 95. xt , I -ff' c F ,Ei 7471 f ' ll lu l l ai Form IX D is a class which ranges in height from four feet to six feet. Our teachers are always getting mixed up in our names. But who would not, with two Ruth Flor- enceis, three Gray girls, four Fergusons and three Forbes. The boys of IX D are fresh air fiends. As soon as they get into a room. the windows are thrown sky high and the radiators turned off. The girls shiver and complain and say the boys are very thoughtless. Classmates of Don De Noble predict a great future for him as a band leader. Several of the boys in IX D have joined the Officers, Training Corps. They think Jim Frape will be a second Cromwell. John Edmison always man- ages to get ink all over his face. Wes Ellis says he takes an ink bath. fC0'Ilfi'Il'2L6d on Page 155 WARNE'S GIFT SHOP For Birthday or Anniversary Gifts for all Occasions BLUE BIRD DIAMOND RINGS Diamond Hall Phone 5171 COMPLIMENTS OF THE REGENT THEATRE WE SPECIALIZE In Furnishing the Home Five large floors of Fine Furniture, Floor Coverings, Curtains and Draperies.
