He had 'na taught a lesson, a lesson, A lesson, but barely one When the critic teacher said to him, My boy, as a teacher - yer done. O long, O long, has he studied With books, paper and pen, But studying has not always been Confined to his room. For long, long at the basketball, With P.N.S. girls to win. And long, long at the hockey rink, His studies grew mighty thin. Half o'er, half o'er the year are we, The lessons are drab and deep. The long time at Normal that he's spent He might as well have been asleep. So now this tale draws to its close, fUnlike F. B. when rings the bell.J Perhaps with other grads we'll make Good teachers yet - for who can tell. -ORVAL REYNOLDS. i wk T Best Wishes from Sanitary Ice Supply 836 Water Street T Peterborough, Ont.

The Iunior Red Cross 'Society NE OF THE first student activities to be organized at Peterborough Normal School this year was the Junior Red Cross Society. Due to the rather peculiar nature of a teacher-training institution, the Red Cross Society at Peterborough seeks to combine the values of having an organization for each Form plus an organization for the school as a whole. Representatives from each Form met as a committee for the whole school. A President, a Secretary, also a Treasurer were elected-thus the Fall Term Red Cross Society came into being. President ....... Phyllis Boyd Secretary ...... Marjory McBride Treasurer ....... Lloyd Sills Representatives . Margaret Brick, Margaret Rutherford and Clifford Votary. During the fall term they were very successful in raising money for the Society. The first attempt consisted of a uPenny Parade which took place in the auditorium. The three Forms really were competing with one another, raising 31825. Later a Sadie Hawkins' Party netted more funds. At Christmas, the Red Cross Society forwarded a substantial portion of its earnings, as well as the decorative articles made during the Craft periods to bring Yuletide cheer to veterans lanquishing in hospital. In January the following Spring Term Executive was elected: President ....... Luella Homan Secretary ....... Anne Reid Treasurer ...... Douglas Wallace Representatives- Rosemary Jordon, Marian White and John Grylls Junior Red Cross, for many, was lost during their High School days. The progress and present activity of the organization, touching as it does the life work of teachers, is of interest to all. Through the Normal School branch, students at this school have recaught the vision of service. These go forth to their own schools better fitted to work with Red Cross and to translate into action its motto I serve. ' -PHYLLIS BOYD. Sports Activities BASKETBALL This class has every reason to be proud of those girls who formed the school's entry in the Ladies Basketball League. Coached by Miss Jean Caverly fP.N.S. graduate, 19475, and managed by Orval Reynolds, these girls developed into an aggregation which commanded respect from every team in the league. In the regular schedule the Normalites were barely nosed out of second place. In the playoffs, they showed sufficient power to carry off the Intermediate Championship. Under their captain, Lou Homan, the girls found great leadership. Peggy Brown and June Ashley led offensively while Eddie Gill and Rose- mary Jordan were equally effective defensively. Always in the game and giving their best were Mildred Jackson, Marg Hickey, Marg Watson, Mary Curtis and Marjorie McBride. To each of these girls we are grateful for the good entertainment they provided and for the laurels their success won for our school. ' Page Thirty-five
