Something Different From Xl C Academic fContiuued from Page 56D the board? Watch how Helen Mon- crief and Seholes do their homework in school. Bliss Howson would be overcome if Misses Matchet and Rahmel stopped talking and paid attention to English once in a while. The question among the girls is whether Graham has a permanent or not.

We hope that Agnes Pogue is not intending to change to the Com- mercial Department, but that is where her interest lies. What certain little girl got all burned up in the Science Laboratory when she stuck her head in a Bunsen Burner? Not Vera Mitchell?

KEEFER, Proprietor 34-2-4 Water St., Peterborough Opposite Market X A Commercial Goes Hiking A hiking we will gof, Ten A Commercial was out for a good time for we were off for a hike in the country, with our staunch-hearted form teacher, Miss O'Connell. We had to walk slowly as Iris Davis was still stiff from P.T, on Friday. Misses Young and Wilson began to laugh and giggle and Muriel Fallen, Beryl Dobbin and Helen Allen followed suit, keeping us all in good spirits. Then Ruth Florence sang I'm An Old Cow-Hand and dedicated it to Mary Chesher. When we reached our destination Misses Stewart, Gurney, Forbes, C rouker, and Sollitt acted as our chefs and set to work getting the grub ready, after Ethelwyn Gileson, Colleen Gilbert, and Eleanor lNIcIlmoyle had gathered firewood. When everyone was served Miriam Parnell spilled her cocoa on Irene Ferguson laughing at a joke told by hlabel VVatkins. After eating we sat around the fire and heard Audrey Britnell, Doris Chenier, and Ruth Maskell telling stories and finally persuaded the smallest girls in the room, Blanche Quinn, Angeline De Carlo and Lucille Doughty to give us an Andrew sisters rendition of Down by the O-hi-O ! Dot Con- stable, Phyllis Cook, Shirley and Margaret Allen had to leave early, because - well, there's something about a soldier! Later when Miss O'Connell called the roll to see if all were there, we were surprised to hear so many names beginning with HJ . J. Ball. J. Bell, J. Alexander. J. Gracie, J. Bridcott. -I. Machlorran and J. Griffin. A Sketch Of X B Commercial This is a sketch of the brilliant lads and lasses of X B. Margaret Mullen and Dorothy Higgins use salt in their muffins. Marg. Spence. head of the class, is a wizard on skates. hfIcCarthy is a keen student from Keene. Franks is our artist and Len Slaughter knows quite a few phone numbers of X A girls. Evelyn Knox looks on the Sonny', side of things while Amelda Travis takes an inter- est in theatre ushers. Harrison is the little man who wasn't there and Bedford is our peanut expert. Pearl Spooner likes dogs and Marg. Aiken makes all the boys' hearts go pitter patter. Csumrik knows all about boxing and Hartshorn is our glamour boy.

We had better watch Allan Johnston who is fast learning the art of making love in the school play. Perhaps he could give Doug. Hill a few lessons. Rosina Fanning, Laura Lee, and Jean Gould have a habit of breaking things in Chemistry Lab. Harold Louden should write a book on the technique of sleeping in a classroom and Gor- don Lupton and Bill Loomis could School Supplies Make this store your head- quarters for your SCHOOL SFPPLIES.

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.

Mr. Richardson has reason to be proud of the girls' volleyball team, for did they not light fire and foe to return unscathed, - victorious, with the Intermediate Champion- ship! Orchids to the ladies and their captain, Marg. Barrie. Talented X B Academic X B is quite a class. Fanning and McCullough provide the fun for us. but evidently the teachers don't appreciate it. Lila ltlilburn, Sheila Macguire, Jean Ferguson, Caroline lNIcCabe, Gloria Lowney, a11d Len- ore Mather make up for the less talkative ones: Lois Humphries, VVillene Hope, Pauline Kempt, Max- ine Kidd, Bernie Hardie, and Jeanne Metcalfe. Have you noticed Gertley is always finding short-cuts and easier methods for his mathematics? Geral- dine Melton tackles figures in a dif- ferent way. Have you seen her figure-skating? Have you seen her fractured wrist? June Moore is our violinist. Edgar also fplays?l in the orchestra. Terry LaPlante and Dorothy Lar- mer supply fmusic?J for our locker- room. A certain girl finds it stimulating to her weak heart to walk with the boys' line. Why do Ruth Florence and Monica Lawless like the end of thc girls' line so well? At whom is Gray constantly gaz- ing over in the locality of Doris Moncricf and Jean Blodgett? VVhy does Galvin wink at the girls? Wanted: Somebody to do mathe- matics homework for McCullough, Smoke. Hall, Edmison. and Hooper. VVhy doesn't somebody inform Green, Ferguson, and Lillico that the bell rings at 1.30, not 1.45. Does Joan Leslie turn her head around to see the teacher better? We wonder. Adele Fitzgerald and Lyon are brilliant students. VVe have perhaps a future aviator in our midst- Earle Moorehead. Betty Mantell has certainly done her part in the sale of War Savings Stamps.-V.M. X C Academic Successful Form X C has been on the whole, successful this year. The boys were undefeated in basketball though, in spite of Bill Sisson's scoring, the volleyball team lost. Spike lilathews was the cap- tain of the junior football team. Pearl Trethewey, Jack Paterson, Roy Sutcliffe and Jack Taylor play in the orchestra. Our War Savings Campaign, in- spired by Mr. David Brown, has won us the Hag four times in succes- sion, owing to the efforts of Jean Powers, Joan Stenton, and Burton lNIcBride. The form executive representa- tives are Mildred Spicer, Charles Seal and Spike . VVe are represented in the Camera Club by Wren Tuckett, Shirley Pro- phet, Ruth Taylor, John VVright, Jack Taylor and Art Turner. George Sills, Jack Matchett, Bill Bloore, and Willie Stewart are all great drags on the class discipline. Tom VValsh dreams of Einstein's theory everywhere, including the Math. class. Elevating the class percentage are our two scholars, Joy Preston and Lois Wright, who hold scholarships. Why do Shirley Pringle, Ruth Tay- lor. Joyce Wyatt, and Joan Penhall flock Qiiunkl together?

X A Industrial Arts People are wondering if Noyes, Cuthbert, and Ariss are planning to join the House of David on account of a surplus of hair. Bloncrieff and Davis took a show- er one noon hour with their clothes on. Poor lads! Congratulations to WVelford who arrived late in the fall from Camp- bellford, yet ranked well in the Christmas exams. VVe wonder why Ed. Freeman doesn't produce his gym suit. Jim Mcllvena and Bill Torrance are the scientists of X A. Fat Manning is the carpenter and handy man of this form though he is asleep part of the time. Warren Smith, Blondin and Craig are the lads who woo the fair sex. Frank Draper is the doctor of all ailments in X A. Jim Cummings has been wearing the attendance sheet around his neck. It is very becoming. Norm Jewell has become very in- terested in poultry of late and con- siders himself an authority on this subject.
