Rush, Quigley, Pepe, Doreen Naples, and Jeanne McCulloch might get along better if they brought their books. Miss Pollard, Miss Russell and Miss Oakley have not been men- tioned as we always save the best till the last. Bill Rayner and Dorothy Moore have been getting an eyefull of each other and lately we don't know what to expect. IX H Newsettes Cliff fShortyJ Roydhouse, our little English chap, wishes he were a little higher so that the taller students of IX H would be more careful of the nicknames they call him. Stewart Sage, our blonde brain- storm, does well to keep in front of Miss Shaughnessy in the exam marks. Next in line are Miss Robin- son and Miss Shirley. Other bright students are G. Thexton, the Misses Simmonds, Stevens, Sheppard and the two Thompsons, also the two Bliss Smiths, the two Stewarts, and those two bright Telford lads. Our future Professor of Science, Edward G. Sharp, needs to be put gently under a c-c-cold shower to wake him these mornings in time for school. ' Our man-killers and heart breakers are Bliss Rea and Miss Stephenson. Bliss Scott tries vainly to tell lVIiss Sloane a good joke through the day. Gordon fSpookI Scriver needs a Math. book to help him answer the riddles Mr. David puts to him, Sel- kirk sure is a whizz with his hands. Jim Shields and Bill Shadgett are always joking and getting caught. Second year Sullivan will soon have his title changed to third year if he is not careful. X S493 a g I, , m The Gnade-Niner A Day With IX I Scene-IX I Form Room. Time-Any morning before 9 a.m. Helen Weddell is busy telling her dreamy twin Agnes what to do. Doreen Samis is, as usual, fixing her hair while her sister, Jean, indus- triously studies. Our glamour girls, Misses Shaughnessy, Searles, and Wilson, watchfully eye the boys. Shirley Whittaker, our VVar Guest, chats with the blondes, B. Victor, J. Towle, and I. Weaver, and the brunettes, V. VVhitmore, J. Welsh, B. Wilson, and BI. Hartley-VVight. Roma Williamson sits on her foot as she talks to V. Sills, I. Stormes, M. W'atson, and the redheads, Thomp- son and Young. Two of the boys, Whittaker and Watson, are talking and laughing while Lloyd VVoodcock tells them to be quiet or they will waken Trude who is sleeping peacefully. Wilson chews gum and keeps a watchful eye on the girls. VVoodcock and Welch are reclining in their seats trying to get the odd forty winks. Curly- headed little Thirnbeck 'ithe teach- ers' pet nuisancei' talks to VVhite twhen is he going to stop g'rowing?j and ever-cheerful Whittington. John Wolff as usual accommodates Shad- gett and Tate by giving them his homework answers. In the meantime small Turcotte chases the even smal- ler VVright. Suddenly the bell rings and every- one rushes to his scat. Another day has begun for this brilliant form! Higher marks atri easy to getdwhen you use a ome a spee y 559'-fam!

seraphic smile he marches blithely through this wicked world. Oh! Here is Miss Moore charging down the aisle with the light of battle in her eye. She stops at Johnnie Giardino's desk and asks if he has done his home work. He ad- mits with a sheepish grin that he has omitted to do that particular bit of work. She gives him a lecture while he seeks to shield his red face behind his French text. After this bit of diversion the class subsides and the girls play knots and crosses while the boys shoot paper ammunition hither and yon with a fine disregard for time and place. MZ. ESSENTIALS if .'

VVhen you enter the boys' locker room, who should be swing- ing it on the locker but tall, handsome Reg Hill. His encore is provided by Keith Green. Betty Florence, our make-up beauty expert, Yetta Fine the glamour girl and Ken Hopkins, who made a good punching bag for those of the more lively type, en- gaged in that work of exercising their jaws regularly. The boys will make excellent housewives, especially emptying in sweeping floors and drawers. Dorothy Gimblett could be wrong when she said that a British King was a souvenir, couldn't she? What would make Dorothy Hicks say that Daniel was eaten by the lions? The two sweethearts or rather bittersweets, are Reg Johnston and Fred Hayes. The feature attraction of the form are: Stan Joyes who would like to burn every French book in the school, Howard, Kath- leen Friendship, Barbara Gosselin, Helen Hall, Hazel Forsyth, Junkin, Johnson. Hamlin, Barbara Fimiie, Kubica Hayes, the Jones boys, Lil- lian Francks, Beverly Gibson, Hogg, hlargy Hughes, Howson. VVhat would Bob Hanbidge do without that all-purpose pen of his? Hope, often called lightning, is the star French pupil. IX E News Jean Johnston is the girl with tl1e meek little voice. Audrey Killingbeck is the shy one fsometimesl. Doreen Ingram giggles at anything. Glenn Hutchison is the gossip in the assembly. June Killingbeck likes her gum. Whenever there's a good show ask Yvonne about it. Josie Julian and Audrey Hogge never miss Miss Park's list. Audrey Harrison is our beauty expert. Isabel Heath is the girl Miss O'ConneI suspects when someone is talking. Betty Holbrook is our Literature Marvel, and John Lewis our great speaker. John Mc- Naught is a pet of Miss O'Connel. Warren Marshall needs a larger desk. Earnest Lee is a bright boy full of hard water. Lalonde is a sleepy head, especially in music. Jim Logan is a smart boy, but what a talker. James lVIcCormick and Harry Lam- bert need supports to stand up straight. Milligan is always wearing a smile except when he gets his pic- ture taken. Ex-pupils: Teresa Hef- fernan. Sheila Head, Olive Hanwell, and Edward King. The Merry-Go-Round With IX F Hi-Ho folks! Hop on the merry- go-round and come for a spin with IX F. VVhat would we do without L. Neary, Betty Leeming fform repre- sentativej, T. lVIilburn, Marjorie Kirn CG. A. A. representativel, to uphold our class standing? E. Pil- ling is our B. A. A. representative. J. Park and T. Primeau supply the class with humour. By the way, we wonder what would happen if the latter could stay awake long enough to get a pass in Mathematics. We would do well on a farm with Phyllis McKee, Daisy Magee, Merle Moncrief, Jean Blasters, C. Pavy, and T. lililburn. Why does Frances La Vallee hook her arm over the back of her seat in room 39? Could it be to see D. P. better? If it weren't for lilary King, S. hloore, and D. Patter, the history questions might not get answered. L. Outram, R. lilenzies, and L. Powers would make good tap danc- ers. At least, they can make a lot of noise with their feet in the corridors. Beverly lNIillar, lVIargaret Mc- Elroy, Barbara Long, Beatrice Mon- crief, Jean Larmer, Pat lilackey, Rita. lilclilillan, lil. lilartin, J. 0'Brien. and A. Nesbitt do enough talking to make up for Joyce Mc- Quade, Rosaline Lasenby, and W. Porter. This is the end of the ride, folks. We hope you aren't dizzy. IX G Has Champion Tree Climber We have in our form a number of people with the same name. There are the Reids, Richardsons, Robin- sons, and the Moores. The Richard- son clan consists of Sheldon, Morris, and VVilfred, with lNIorris as the champion tree climber. The class has agreed that the orchestra would be much better off if someone would kindly throw a bone to Henry Rob- inson and Ruth Poulsom. Joe Rob- inson has been taking a series of nosedives lately and we're wondering whether it's because he is joining the air school or whether he's still fas- cinated with Joyce NlcDougall. We have seriously thought of buying a microphone for Hilda Noble because if she spoke louder Clara Ruskin might get past the third line of her poem. Teresa O'Toole and Jack Rus- selle have had their fortunes told, that is they will never be good writ- ers if they keep using fountain pens.

EXCHANGE 1l1. ll.ll11l--1v- This department forms a very im- portant part of our school magazine. From the year books of High Schools with which we exchange we derive many suggestions which prove to be invaluable to the editors of various sections of the magazine. We profit from the criticisms and comments on our magazine, which are sent to us from the various exchange editors, and the editions which accompany their letters have been a constant source of amusement and informa- tion to our entire staff. We would like to congratulate the students who issue the various school magazines we receive, especially those of the smaller publications of which we would mention the Tatler from Lindsay and the Peptimist from Mimico. This year we received a new exchange from the South African College School in Cape Town and found the literary sec- tion of this fine little book to be ex- cellent. Among the exchanges from larger schools we wish to refer to the Oakwood Oracle, Lux Glebana, and Vulcan, which are well organized throughout. In Answer The torch from failing hands we take, It burns-we hold it high. The Dead shall sleep in Flanders' fields, For we their foes defy. Long years have passed since last they fought, And now our turn has come. For twenty years we've lived and grown, Now we defend our home. Our Motherland is now at warg She fights for life that's free. They try her might, they test her right To freedom of the sea. We'll fight as they did years agog Our homeland we will save. Our enemies we will destroy, Or follow to the grave. And to each man who lies in France Beneath a wooden cross, Our answer comes: we'll take the torch As you did once for us. Tech Tatler.

Seven Ages All the school's a jest, And all the pupils in it merely pup- pets: They have their good times and they have their badg And each one in his time has mostly bad, The trouble being work. At first a green-horn, Blissfully ignorant of it all, with hopes, And homework beautifully done, run- ning like a rabbit Eagerly to school. And then to Second, Sighing like furnace, 'cause it's mostly YVOC. And ever getting worse. Then a third former, Full of strange symbols of Algebra and Greek, Jealous in contest? Sudden and quick to answer? Not so you'd noticeg but seeking out some fun Even among Caesar's wars. And then to Fourth, With secret hopes to rule the place- but no, With eyes severe, a man of loftier grade, Full of wise-cracks and modern dia- lect, Is watching him. It is the Fifth, The power and the pride of all the school, With lofty words he seeks to make them quake, His youthful marks well saved, a world too high For his shrunk standards: and his eager treble Turning at last to bored and manly drawl, Forever whistling in the class. Last scene of all That ends this tedious time of tor- ture is Repeating fifth again for his third time, Sans work, sans books, sans hope, sans everything but spares. The Magnet.
