Girl Promoted to Referee XII Commercial The remaining students of Grade XII Commercial disregard the call of industry because they feel they must spend as much time as possible with beloved form teacher, Mr. Shearer. The feeling must be mutual as he keeps all girls who do not know their shorthand after school. Miss Bailey is disgusted with our basketball playing but the periods are enjoyable even though we get prolonged instructions often and a few bruises and black eyes Knot from Miss Baileyj Phyllis hlarshall confuses rugby with basketball much to the distress of her guard, Ruby Harding. The red streak on our team is Fanny Gishman. June Ballard was promoted to referee for one period. After that strenuous game we rest in Economics. Mr. Simmers often finds it hard to get to the room be- fore the boys and to live up to his name, he simmers. We have heard that Rutherford, Patterson, Mason and Metheral have a hard time get- ting Cox up on time and he will not appear before the girls unless' he looks his best. Elsie Johnston shines in law period. Jean Johnston beams in them all. Pat Cox is unaware that we are about to bestow the honour of oiiicial cheerer upper upon her. We wonder where Jean Duignan, our form representative, gets her endless supply of life savers. Phyllis Mc- Clennan, Helen Weston and Bessie Watson are content to let the rest of the world roll by. Ruth Hess is always ready to offer her services whenever called upon. Hannah Flor- ence is Hourishing in maths, but her shorthand is hopeless.-S.H. Jots and Flashes From XI Com. How to achieve my task? A dif- ficult question indeed. The task, by the way, is to enlighten you on the subject of our bewildering form. Boys are generally a safe IU beginning so starting from the top and proceeding down: Wilson is our tall fresh-air fiend. Some day he'll be a hair-dres- ser. He makes half-hearted attempts at dying Shirly lNIortimer's hair a beautiful blue-with ink. Leether is our he-man. Deane Cutmore our glamour boy. Braund and Webster are our brilliant Qit's actually a dull finishj literature students. We also have a human wall, Stewart and Mills are out-of-town representatives.

We have our own idea on that score. We have three Dorises, the Misses Johnston, Lee and Preston. Some day we will buy Jean MacDonald a loud speak- er. Misses Estlick, Dalliday and Pue -Ninn lax . ff l Dm Wi A V4 m The Model Student are athletic minded girls. Misses An- drews and Thompson are style con- scious ladies. If Betty Simmons and Edna Armour ever take to their feet for transportation the Bus Lines will lose considerable business. D. Franks and A. Connell compare notes on a certain Cliff . Gloria Lush is a homey girl QI don't mean domesticj So this is Eleanor Doyle signing off with a last salute to X I Commercial. Form XII Industrial Arts Hold Record You have not seen our form? Amazing! But don't be alarmed: it is not on account of poor eyesight. Our form, of minute size at the beginning of the term, has decreased twenty-five per cent. This portion of our class vanished in the person of Jim Brown, who now has a full-time job at his favorite subject, auto mechanics. Since only three of us are left, we hold the record for the School's smallest form. We are: Guido DeCarlo CMr. Wes- ley Brown's right-hand man! . Everett Poast who fiirts - or does he?' and Colin Jack, the camera fiend.-J. A Chat With Xl A Academic If you should be strolling leisurely on the third floor before school on Monday morning, you would see a large crowd collected around the door of the Chemistry lab. If you waited a little longer you would see Mr. Graham elbow his way to the entrance and admit to their form- room what has been referred to as the cream of the third forms , XI A Academic. Our able form representative is Blargaret Flett, while the G.A.A. and B.A.A. are represented by Miss Cathcart and Rod Blackwell. Miss Zavitz supplies delightful music for morning assemblies. Our form has given a good account of itself in school activities. Diplock is a budding rugby star, and Misses Frost and Flett and Dinsdale are on basketball teams. Campbell, Han- bidge, and Diplock are cadet officersg Sellon, Dinsdale, and Florence are signallers, and Foley is taking first- aid work. Blackwell and Forde are in the bugle band. The orchestra is represented by Miss Zavitz and Forde, and the Glee Club by Misses Chase and Zavitz. In the Dramatic Club are Crowe, Hanbidge, and Brown, and the candid camera fiends are Allen, Boyd, Brown, Crowe and Hanbidge. XI A has made a good showing in war work, the majority of the girls being engaged in it. VVell, wonders do occur. Bliss Blaiklock and Fowlie sometimes do arrive on time, and the back row in the French class do pay attention, when Miss Montgomery is sitting there. lllost of us like P.T., but the boys feel that the exercises would be of shorter duration if Mr. Bamforth were doing them himself.-S.B.

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.

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.

Pat Hardie, Marion Helson and Ailwen Jones are better known as the Three Little Thorns on Mr. Henry's Rose Bush. Jim Hooper seems to be a genius for answering questions, and Elinore Kent for having her homework done. Betty Hughes drives around in a flashy roadster, but can she change a tire? Jack Hardill always tries to entertain Ruth Brown with the latest jokes. Jack Hill, Ralph Green, and Fred Garner are our fcameral enthusiasts. Katherine Johnston wishes her activities to remain un- known, likewise Nancy Moore. Why? Gerald Ackford is our future foot- ball hero and Ray Kidd our cham- pion woman-hater. Wilma Hunt, Doreen Hutchison, Jim Laing and Leonard Hayes have a struggle with the signs in Algebra-but don't We all? Will Miss Weddell ever be able to catch up with Max Graham in his French exercises, and convince Bill Garner, Leslie Groombridge and Chris Huffman that they should be- have. Betty Giffen, Norma Gray, Dale Dugan, Anna I-Iubel, Jim Kay, and Donald Hamblin save the day with their wonderful understanding of English. And oh! I almost forgot we have a second Euclid in Bill Cuppy, who can prove that every triangle is isosceles. fDon't ask me how.J-J.L. Something Different From XI C Academic If you are looking for something different come to XI C. We can supply you with anything as you will soon see. Have you noticed the long and short of it-Sackville, Richard- son, Roy versus Newton and Bur- roughs, and the fat and the thin of it - McKnight versus Richmond. See our two blonde Donalds, Spicer and Milburn, our two athletes, Scott and McWilliams, and our future store manager, Saunders. Note our Belleville lady, M. Bowermang our twin-like Northey sisters, our Smith students, Misses McKee and Wilsong our quiet trio, Misses Mitchell, San- derson and Pearson and our talka- tive duet, ltlisses Turner and Staples. Why does Betty Stewart leave the attendance sheet on the first floor so often? Surely it is not to miss the interesting and informing C?j Physics class. Suppose some morning Evelyn Martin and Mather came without their French and Latin homework done, where would the rest of the class get theirs? What would happen if McKnight came to school two days in a row or if Miss Moore didnlt make Marion Suther- land put her French homework on fContinued on Page 571 XI A Industrial Arts ADI IN LIFE to be a butcher learning to ride a bicycle to get 100'Zv to help Carter with-? to grow a moustache to be a modern Casanova to be a second Tarzan to equal big brother to beat A.
