FORM NEWS How To Get Acquainted With V A Several days ago I was asked to write the form news. That isn't very hard as there are so many illustrious people in our form. For example we have Norma Timlin and Hugh Ken- ner, those scholarship winners. Then there is Gamble who heads this year's Students' Council. Scriver led the rugby team and was ably backed by such stalwarts as Gillespie, Moull, Sproule and Hall. Irene Michaud is the gal who an- nounces the Dramatic Club meetings. Sylvia Boorman and Armstrong are in the cast of this year's play, whose handsome hero is Bill Graham. Oh joy! Jean is the president of the school Red Cross group. ltflary Curry, Betsy English, and Powell were on the committee for the soldiers' Christ- mas boxes. A little bird tells me Mary Waite writes poetry! Must be love. Pauline Paterson and Rusty Marshall, our red-heads, lend some colour to our usually dull class-rooms. Those glam- our girls, Mary Strickland and Jeanne Ketcheson, are the belles of all the balls. Scott, Cranford, and Johnson are V A's gift to the ladies. Jessie I-Iaddow has the questionable honour of being half the Greek class! Every morning while Mr. Zavitz is doing the honours at the front of the room, Agnes Richardson, Barb Best, Dorothy Ross, and Greta Huff- man have a cozy little chat at the back of the room. Then there are those strong silent men, Moore and Churcher. Mildred lVIcIntyre is a tclair del lunatic. Pardon me, that was supposed to be funny. Crocker is the lad with the baton. He raises his little stick, says, One, two, three, and we all swing out on that smooth new tune Roamin in the Gloaminf' Carew and Fran Ruskin always get their Algebra. Oh these mathematic- ians! I-low do they do it? Let's see now, V A has tall Miss Nisbet and short Miss Davis. Bruce is the little man who often isn't there. Eleanor Glover, Helen Wellman, and Kath- erine Hendry seem to be the studious type. I guess Aaron Black has an executive mind: he is managing that paper collection business. Last but not least there is Anne O'I.eary who has really simplified that homework problem. She arrives Bricks and Bouquets OF Special Commercial Iris Fitzgerald-always skygazing. Marjorie Tinker-has her ups and downs. Eleanor Rosborough-always up to Parr. Marian Brown-just knows. Betty Whaley - Life's just one big why. Betty Richardson-usually comes Friday to catch up on gossip. Wilma Armstrong-no angel-sprouted wings. Betty Hughes - Who can Turner heart? Helen Hopkins-jeepers creepers, oh what peepers! Evelyn Stevenson-Betty Grable plus. Jean Johnston- deserves a shield 'cause sheis a sweet kid. Audrey Hunter-just a cut-up. Mary Armstrong- Special's Hedy Lamarr. Marg Wood-Joe Bailey's stooge. Shirley Ashby-sbouldnit run so fast. Adele McCarthy-Beat me Daddy eight to the Bar. Elaine Cook-dark eyes! Helen Murphy-and Hazel Dalton are each other's shadow. Mary Riley-just beams. Betty Meigher-canit keep score. Helen Wade-Scrub me Mamma with a Boogie Beat. Eleanor Taylor-She's got rhythm. Velma Thornton-a whiz at rapid cal. Leatha Rowland-shines with Irium. Bill Hamilton-is undertaking a little undertaking. Sammy Andrew-hates to get up. Jean Mann-Hi Ho Silver! Helen Ballard-fairy-tale princess. Marjorie Armstrong-an authority on cooking. Molly 'McCarrell-gets a huge kick out of life! Betty Legitt-just the shy type. Marg. Westbye-creamiest cream of this crop. Jack Dorriss - human book of knowledge. Special Commercial-judge for your- self!!!!!! m at the beginning of last period in the morning. Well we must look into this! The only other way to get really acquainted with our form is to see what a well-behaved class we are just before second bell every morn- ing, I don't think. We Twenty-Five Of V B 'Tis said time and again when pupils reach Fifth Form the wheat is well separated from the chaff-need I say more? QWell, I'm going to.l For, though the wheat of V B is but twenty-five kernels strong, each is well known, and recognized, if only by one characteristic quality. Look for yourself: For instance, there are Earl West- man and Don Sutton who, with Mr. Henry, try to ward off the giggling, chattering and gossiping of their twenty female classmates in Biology. Then there's Frank Hogan, who cer- tainly reads interesting fiction in the study room, and Bud Miller, whose favourite magazine is definitely Esquire. Keith Kidd certainly shoots a mean rifie. Bob Garner is never, never seen idle. VVe have Walter Morrow who's as quiet as a mouse, and John Wray who's even quieter. And last of our nine boys comes Archie Wilson of the rosy cheeks. Helen Beatty stands at the head of her class and is president of the G.A.A. and captain of the Senior Girls' Basketball team besides. Joan lilelton is well known for her sales- manship of war stamps. Betty Barr entertains V B girls in the assembly with her jokes and Eleanor Bigelow is a favourite of ours and Mr. Petit's too! Berta Belleghem leads the line in P.T. and loves Knox College. June Pigeon and Marion Foster are seldom seen apart, while Joy Walker and Doris Hutchinson can always be found giving the latest angles on their respective love affairs. Shirley Richardson is the last to arrive and the last to leave each day - it's so hard getting on those goloshes! Mary Pierce does wonderful Botany draw- ings and sits next to our pet goldfish in the lab. Elta Van Allen and Verna Hope are two who always have that French done 'way ahead of time and Winnifred Hunter is V B's homework bureau. Jean Hamley en- tertains us in French with her original translations and lVIarguerite Walker is noted for her quick wit, which is as nimble as are her fingers when she's knitting. Last of all, we boast Dorothy Clark who uses her study period in writing long letters to that handsome air force man! Yes, V B will be remembered, and don't dare ask what for!! Page Fifty-three

XII A Ac. Forty-Une Strong VVhat a pleasure it must be to each of XII A's teachers to behold an eager line of pupils, forty-one strong, walk into their rooms. This animation is usually at its peak on blue Monday when our Week-end sports enthusiasts limp in, buy their war stamps, and sit carefully down. Of course, we have the studious type such as Marg. Lawrie and Fran. Belleghem who are then just finish- ing their Latin. Perhaps most often heard of XII A's pupils would be our Did you remember it man, Alden Gour- ley, who has become noticeably thinner since he started spending all noon hour at the telephone. The argumentative powers of John Frank and Harold Matthews make them public hazards to Mr. Zavitz. XII A can boast representation on practically all school activities. Bob Carley is format editor of The Echoes, while Arthur Bunnell is head of the humour section. We have two scholarship winners, Maureen Brown and Norma Elcombe. Davis Graham, besides being on The Echoes staff, is in the school orchestra. Among our form's camera enthusiasts are Jack Thompson and Roger Barrie. COMPLIMENTS Harry Florence Furniture Company 20-1'-206 CHARLOTTE ST. 34- Years in the Furniture By this time you will have seen Barbara Bothwell as the pretty heroine who Stooped To Conquer. Other XII A dramatists are E. Arm- strong, R. Telford, and C. Nicholson. Many of our fair sex are very active in basketball. Fran Merrett, Marion Bateson, Mary Ferguson, and the Boyle sisters are but a few of these. Note to School Board: Jim Fer- guson wants a clock installed in Latin class so that Bob Carley won't have to waken him live times a period to learn how many minutes are left to endure. B. Newman, J. Allen, M. Hall, and B. Cauley beg to differ with the old adage that you can't do two things at one time. They regularly carry on a gossip circle while writing com- positions. Congratulations are due to Chris- tine Carlisle who correctly solved a geometry problem the other day. Since the original purpose of this column was to boost XII A, let me fContinued on Page 665 XII Household Arts Will Open A Drive-In Mildred, Connie, Marg. and Bev. are H. Arts XII. This form is well known. If two stay away on the same day, they are instantly pounced upon and accused of taking in a show. Upon graduating, these young ladies will open a drive-in. Mildred and Cormie manage the food prob- lem, while Marg. and Bev. tend the gas pumps and make repairs on autos that limp in. We are, in spite of the above para- graph, serious fat timesi. Please don't believe any rumours circulating around the school to the effect we are not. VVe all do war work and Business . . . . have extra - curricular activities. - 17 Margaret Gertley.

All those who were talking stand up. lNIr. Zavitz wheels from the board Cafter going through it againj and bellows forth this command. Bravely up pops Greatrix ffond of picturesj Fine, Allison fknitting??D, and Foley. Which girls you're wondering? None other than Misses Cathcart, MacBrien leach seeing who can get into the most troublel, and Hooper, suppressing giggles with a great effort from the latest joke. To R. McNeely in black, who are you mourning for, kid? Ruth disdainfully answered, my cat. If Miss Miller got laryngitis, who would do the majority of talk- ing at Misses Skitch's, Putfer's and Miles' lockers. In case she does we'll have Kemp, Morrison, and Gibbs in reserve to help in this respect. Maybe J. Castle will teach us all to play basketball the way she does if we hint long enough, eh Bernice and Vera-who nose? We won the Hag for the sales of Stamps due largely to the grand efforts of Miss Stenton and secondly Williamson. Keep up the good work, and that goes for ye war-working students not mentioned. The Geraghty brothers scarcely notice each other, but who notices the Geraghty boys? Well! Get in- formation from Reta and Helen. Flash! Anyone Wanting help with Latin, approach Misses Prophet and Whatley?? Richardson seems to get a kick out of such remarks as Toss him out or Throw a brick at him from Misses Wooll and Moncrief, whereas Miss Beatty looks back quite shocked. There's something about a soldier! Kindly ask lWIiss Lundy for further details. Could be that if Routley stuck a pin in Green, our top boy, the latter would levez-vous fast. lVIr. Hale asked in English what one would bring to listen to music, meaning appreciation. One bright lass answered Ears! VVho could that be? lifliss Plunkett? No!! Now where shall I put Misses Buckham and Nicholls? You tell me! After taking a squint at the number why so in XII B you'll understand many are left out, but cheer up, End their pictures in this, our magazine.-L. worthy
