We truly believe that Jean will be the death of us yet. 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.

What certain little girl got all burned up in the Science Laboratory when she stuck her head in a Bunsen Burner? Not Vera Mitchell? Our form boasts three jitterbugs- Misses Doughty, Galagher and Par- sons. Radios should have television, firmly declared Dorothy Telford one noon after listening to a certain broadcast from Toronto.

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.

Arts Has Prominent Athletes X BCD Industrial Arts is the largest form in the department, housing about fifty versatile students. Our athletic members are Gord. Burns, Albert Woodgate Qbetter known as Ab.J, Jim Allen, whose eherubic appearance is deeeivingg Don Batley, a perpetual talking machineg Keith Burgess CCurly topj, tough little Bill Jones, Don llady- killerj Goheen, and Bob Crowe, who was responsible for most of the junior rugby victories. Youden, Harrison, Carruthers, Covert and Sharpe anticipate each P.T. period, they enjoy taking the exercises. Their burly physiques are daily scanned admiringly by the fair sex. Payne, Miller, Botnick, Rogers, Schoales, Dayman, Andrew, and Barrett sometimes enjoy a friendly chat during classes, but scowl when it is suggested that they stay after school for a less friendly discussion. Boxes have been secured to elevate Seymour, Pagett, Sanderson, and Marshall high enough to operate the lathes. fContimzed on Page 661 Introducing Household Arts X Allow me to introduce the girls of Household Arts X, including Elaine Savigny, accomplished seam- stress, Anne Brown, composer of witty verse, Mercedes Crowley, shy little farmeretteg Virginia Clark, stand-in for Gale Pageg Elsie Jones, capable form representative, Betty Wyatt, the mischievous twing Bar- bara Wyatt. the studious twin. We are deep in thought wondering if Pauline Fanning, Doris Finnie, Ruth Osborne, Edna Genge, Audrey Windsor, and Eleanor Haddow are as sweet and innocent as they ap- pear to be. Anyone knowing other- wise please report to room 79. The minds of Norma Wallace and Marjorie McGee are far from school wandering towards the airforce. To keep in style with all other forms we have a giggling bee. The most noteworthy numbers being Eleanor Chapman, Violet Weaver, Gladys King and Eileen Mc- Donough. fContinued on Page 661 Shall We Peek On IX A? Let's peek on IX A. We'll begin with Clarke who is subject to brain- storms and sometimes is inspired to write silly poetry. When started he can rhyme it by the yard. We who have felt the effects of Beatty's temper predict a great box- ing future for him. Maybe he'll be heavyweight champion of the world soon. The items needed in IX A are: A handkerchief that won't be blown to threads by Bucknell, a tie that hangs straight on Adams, skirts that would look nice on Craig fsuggested by Mr. Bamforthj, and a brain to replace Ashby's over-worked one. Let's look into B. Braund's matter, taking so much time in Math. period having private lessons. Grace Brunet's brown locks draw great attention at times. The class is buying a loud speaker for Gwen Abbott for answering in class. We notice that Kay Armstrong has an escort home from school every day. If N. Barr and M. Adams don't stop giggling so often, they'll be in Dutch. fC'07ltiIZ2l6Cl rm Page 661 IX B, The Gum Chewing Form IX B opens each day chewing gum supplied by lIr. Ted Chalmers. For this third year Gordon Copperth- wate is visiting IX B for a few weeks. M. Colley begins P.C.V.S. taking the upper hand of class. If B. Cavalier came with her homework done teachers would think it a miracle. VVhen O. Childs and J. Brisco and J. Brown have finished with their appearance they haven't time for lessons. The romance between M. Corbett and a tall young man in IX A is in full bloom. B. Combe, the hairdresser, gets great fun out of trying to rule Can- adian waves. When B. Cooke gets his trances he prances up and down the room. T. Cullen's and J. Dugan's hearts stop beating every time they see a pretty girl go by the door. If S. Cowie wasn't a singer, we wouldn't have a singin' period. The intelligent pupils in our form are B. Doris, G. Davis and D. Batten. During last periods of the day J. Crellin begins wandering around the room. fC'ontinued on Page 661 An Afternoon With IX C Monday afternoon in IX C and all the pupils doze drearily over French verbs. Peace reigns supreme - but hark! What is that strange noise we hear down the aisle? It must be Foster and Holbrook, exercising their manly newly-changed voices. There, seven seats back and one row across is Lenore Fleetwood ad- miring the latest shade of nail-polish on her tapering nails. Ah! here is itlarian Collins. She is captain of our volley-ball team who batted their way to fame, fortune, and the Junior Championship Pen- nant which is tacked over our form room door. Hurle is the form cherub.
