Read the question and answer it. Dorothy: Who are the best actor and the best actress? After seeing the great play the class presented, it was a hard decision. I think Gertrude Born is best for the girls and David Ripley for the boys. Teacher: That's good work. Gerry pulls Frances's hairj Teacher: Gerald! Remember, we have guests today. Frances, the next should be an esay one. Who are the best dancers in our class? Frances: Charlie Spielman for the male and Germaine Levesque for the female dancer. Teacher: Gerald, take the gum out of your mouth. Now answer this, who are the most talkative boy and girl? Gerald: Gee, I know, it's David Ripley for the boys and could it be Jean Bousquet? Teacher: Gerald, congratulations on the boy, but it seems you might have picked the right girl, at least made her a senior. I'm sure it is difficult, but someone should know' it. Jerry, please take your seatg you know where. Uerry goes to stool in cornerj tDoris raises' her handl Teacher: Good, Doris! What's your answer? Doris: Germaine Levesque seems to be the girl I think is most talkative. Teacher: Correct. Dorothy, we wonder whether you might be able to tell us who are the most courteous boy and girl?

YEAR BOOK 1947 29 Teacher: Jerry! Remember you're still part of this class and an- swer this question. Who has the best disposition in our class? Jerry: Gosh! I hate to admit it, but every time I pull Frances's hair she never says anything. So Frances Kacerik is the girl, and Norman Sponcey is our boy. Teacher: Well, that answer will let you sit with the rest of the pupils again, but don't try Frances's patience any more. Now I wonder if Frances can tell us whom the cutest pair of noses in our class belong to. Frances: Do I have to say? Teacher: Of course. Frances: Well, Matthew Johnson is our boy, and Marilyn Donovan is our girl. Teacher: That wasn't so bad, was it? Doris, now who has the prettiest hair? Doris: Theresa Gagne and Albert Latici are tops on my list. Teacher: A for that answer, Doris. Dorothy is very quiet today- Maybe a little question will fix that- We have a question on nicest complexions, Dorothy. Dorothy: Oh certainly, it's Norman Sponcey and Gertrude Born. And it doesn't come out of a box either. Teacher: The answer is right, but the remark wasn't necessary. This one always requires much thought and so let us' call on Jerry. Who are the best looking girl and boy in our class? Gerald: Did you say that was hard? Well, you can say that again. But you know me, I found it. Yes, Elaine Atkin for the girls, and John Norton is our man. Teacher: You really surprise me, Jerry. You are absolutely cor- rect. Let's have some hands for this next one. Who are our best musicians? QHands go upl Frances: Ruth Lucier and Albert Latici: they're super. Teacher: I'm sure we all agree. Now another difficult one. It is about athletics. It was almost impossible to decide, but maybe Dorothy will come through again. Dorothy: It was hard all right, but Theodore Tetreault and Laura Niles are my choice.
