WHITE HOUSE BOARDER'S NOTES The White House has a number of rooms, Some are noisy and some are tombs. In the Yellow Room there are several young girls, One of whom has pretty red curls, Happy and carefree as any a lark, Of course you know this is Jane Park. Gay Youngson, her friend, has pretty grey eyes, And a smile that will soon send all the guys. Judy Denny, the smallest of the three, Is quiet as a mouse but busy as a bee. In the room that is known as the Red and Grey Here Helen Grant alone does stay. But for some company this year Part-time boarders often appear. Now in the Bubble Room we find Joyce Stovel, who over boys does pine. Next, Ruth Anderson, in Garry Hall, Is a whiz at maths and basketball. Dorothy Jackson from Regina, Sask., Finds homework a wearisome task Cwho doesn'tJ. Now to the Jungle Room on the first floor, We rap gently Richard open the door! As we peer in we see Joan Lidster Ducking fast-that mattress just missed her! Betty Ann Runner, known as Mort, Is always ready for any sport. Claire Tribble, the girl with the curliest hair Is generous at heart, with never a care. They provided a ladder for the top bunk, But June Drennan ignored it and landed ker- plunk! Up she struggled and with heroic words Staggered out to study-French verbs! Claire Anderson, who is Ruth's twin, Likes the boys but that's no sin. With the two Claires, Betty, Joan and June, Thank goodness that's all in the Jungle Room. The trio in the Porridge Pot Are sometimes an ambitious lot. Joan Roberts now comes from away out West, As a ballet dancer she is one of the best. At bowling Catherine Anderson does excel, And she thinks Guy Madison sure is swell. Carolyn Elliot from Emo hails And in grades she never fails. Five other girls for part of the year Have joined in the fun while boarding here. Gwenyth Alsip is quiet but not so shy, We know she likes a certain guy. Joanne Meyer is full of fun, And always seems to be on the run. Valerie Head is a tiny lass, And she is well liked by all the class. In school Ann Fox outdoes us all, And brings in house-points for Douglas Hall. Arleigh Hutchinson, a cute little chick, Can really make the worries click. This is the end as you can see That it's not a credit to poetry. RED HOUSE BOARDER'S NOTES Over in the Red House, Up one flight of stairs Are three bedrooms of girls, Upon whom Mrs, Reid sometimes glares. In the Yellow Room are Norma and June Cwinnipeggers bothb , Norma is vivacious, tall and brown haired. And June is well-just June- Peppy with bushels of curly black hair, It was really a riot to see them as they flew When they sprang from their beds at a quarter to...! Across the hall in room pink of hue, Are three more girls, all blondes, too! Peggy is from Big River, Sask., And, Margie and Gert Cyou don't have to askh. They're from Flin Flon, and do they let you know it! These Flin Floners, they sing and they dance, And Peggy, she tries, but it's really a prance. Next to this is the Blue Roomg it has the bunks. Beth, the short of it, from Russell, is quiet and shy when first you meet. Nancy, the long of it, from the Lakehead, and for her sarcasm should be beat. Regina Barbara and Miami Phyllis, again the inseparable pair always getting into each other's hair, Phyl slides her eyes and flicks here hips. Barb lets out a howl Oh! Oh! it's Mrs. Reid's night to prowl- We'd better scram while the scrammin's good, And jump into bed as we know we should. We've done our stunt, let no one fret, Whose name has been left out, That their fair fame is any less Than those we wrote about. ak lk ll! Joyce Stovel: Did you hear about the woman who married four times? Her first husband was a millionaire, her second was a famous actor. Her third was a well known minister, and her last was an undertakerf' Dorothy: Oh I see. One for the money- two for the show-three to get ready-and four to go. Pk at III Lorna: Two months ago I was madly in love with him and now I can't bear him any more. It's incredible how quickly a man can change. ik Ill if Hoping to get a rise out of a farmer walking in a field by the road, a fellow called: Hey, did you see a wagon load of monkeys go by here? No, replied the farmer, did you fall off? Page Sixteen

YORK HALL WITH this year drawing to a close, as Prefect of York Hall, I am able to look back upon a very eventful ten months. From the beginning, an exceptionally high degree of spirit has existed, and although we carried off comparatively few trophies, we were always on hand to do our bestg and after all this factor in itself is the essence of true sportsman- ship. In the inter-house field day, our girls won the junior cup, and the seniors placed in various events. In basketball we took second place, and I would like to thank the girls for turning out so faithfully for practices. Our bowling team did very well, as did our volleyball team, which was nosed out of first place by Nelson Hall, 1946-1947 In regard to sports, may I take this opportu- nity to thank Beverly-Ann Laidlaw for carrying out her duties as sports captain so well, and also for giving me such support during the year. Viewing the housepoint situation I again thank the girls for really trying, especially in the junior school where standouts such as Diane Johnson and Dulcie Ann Thomson raised our average considerably, In each activity, our House was well repre- sented. In selling tickets or in packing hampers, York girls did their share, always with a ready smile and helping hand. This type of House spirit made me proud and honored to be Prefect for the year 1946-47, and to all the members of the House, I offer my sincerest thanks for their interest and whole- hearted co-operation.
