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.

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!
