100 THE TECHALOGUE June,1946 To those in love Let I forbid, Lest they be doe'd Like I been did. To sum it up, Let me be brief, Forget the girls And save your grief. -E. Dolphin, The Cynosure, QP.A.C.I.J l.-,gr-1. THE CORN HAS BEEN PICKED AND HERE'S THE HARVEST What is this World if full of sorrow, We have no time to lend or borrow, A little joke, a bit of humor Enlarge upon some silly rumor Thus fill our lives with laughs and smiles As we travel o'er its many miles. -J F This is what the first years have to look forward to, or w'hat fourth year has to listen to- A Physics Mr. Humphries: If a man walks due east for two hours at the rate of four miles an hour and then turns west for another two hours at the same rate. If the soles of his shoes are half an inch thick, and he is wearing a yellow tie and false teeth: find: the size of his shoes, and the color of his hair and eyes. Geometry Mr. Mathers: I'm going on a vacation this year because, like the doctor, I've been doing too much inside work. Algebra Mr. Cox: Cmarried with two childrenj land a wifel Today we'll take up curves fgraphs, that isj. Try to make them proportional and pleasing to the eye.f!J Mr. Spicer: fafter telling one of his usual jokesl If you don't like my jokes, then stick your head out of the window and get rid of the PANE. Mr. Trevoy: fsadlyj Now I'll have to break another good board over his head. Mr. McKinnon: fthis one will make you sick if you don't hang yourselfj Hung might be all right in a lynching bee, Patricia, but hanged is the official word for stringing them up. Mr. Armstrong: That bell means nothing to the pupils but just tells the teachers that the class is just about over. Mr. Welch: What would you do if you had an eight-sided figure? Sybil W.: I'd commit suicide.

June,1946 THE TECHALOGUE 99 DESTINY-DETENTION fWith apologies to Mr. Tennysonl Late, late, late- For thy grim, grey doors, O School. I would that my tongue could utter The thoughts of this tardy fool. Alas, for my warm cosy bed Whence I so reluctant arise. Alas, the breakfast uneaten, Just cause of a parentls cries. Alas, for the furnace to fix, Ablutions and other such chores, Which delay the well-meaning soul And earn him authority's roars. Late, late, late, And the Rosedale bus glides by, Leaving thoughts of detentions And many a heaving sigh. -The Twig fUr1iversity of Toronto Schools! ,.y...t BIRD'S EYE VIEW Three birds sat chirping, as all birds do, Literally airing their every view: They chirped of the weather, of spring styles and dress. And finally got 'round to Q.H.S. Chirped one, Have you noticed, my fine feathered friends. The letters and notes which everyone sends, While the teacher sits working, harder than ever, Trying to make his pupils clever? O yes, chirped another, and I also know, How in doing classwork pupils are slow, Yet the homework is done in a minute or less, Though it should take an hour, I must confess. And it's rarely you'll see a full uniform, Often it's home 'cause it's dirty or torn. Then a third broke in, You can take it from me, In lockers there's all from Ka' to 'z'3 If you want an umbrella, book, tunic or shoes, Sweater or magazine, take what you choose. Now I've stated their views on this situation, But remember 'tis here we get education. -'NANCY CORBEIL, The Key. CQuebec High School? i..y....... My love has flew, Her did me dirt, Me never knew She was a flirt.

June,l946 THE TECHALOGUE 101 STOP PRESS ITEMS The Techalogue joins in the very general expression of sympathy for Miss Jean Flatt, our librarian, on the passing of her mother. A pioneer of the Qu'Appelle Valley, Mrs. Flatt had been a leader in community welfare for many years. Many thanks go to Mr. Meadows who so aptly worded the fine sentiment in the dedication of this book. Also much credit is due to those who helped the editorial staff prepare this edition. Students, please patronize our advertisers, for without their support we could never publish an annualg this is our way to express appreciation. Members of 4B asked the Techalogue to extend their best wishes for a quick return of health to Doug. Lake. The Techalogue fully intended to include a gossip column in this year's edition, but it was unable to get the snoop in time for publication. Also a section was to be incorporated where the students could air their views on the various methods of student government, etc., but the response from the student body was nil. Maybe next year. . . Announcements of impending marriages: Mr. George Brent to Miss Catherine Macpherson and Mr. Cyril Verbeke to Miss Betty Lamont. Techalogue extends congratulations and every good wish. Best wishes to Rita Findlay, attendance clerk and secretary in the vice-principals' office on her recent marriage to Mr. Earl Ingram. Rita has been one of the Techalogue's most industrious workers. She typed the greater part of the copy for this issue. This year's cover design is the work of Warren Roy, promising and talented artist of 3B. Thanks and congratulations! In the closing days of the June term, Mike Marushak was awarded the gold T emblematic of the highest attainment in sports. Duane Turple received the big SU at the same time. The Techalogue hears further rumors of an extension to our building. This was mentioned a year ago, but we still hope for more space especially in the now-crowded shops. The Techalogue joins with his many friends in the widespread sympathy for the family of Gordie Phipps who was drowned last summer near Yorath Island. Congratulations to Steve Fosty who won the junior individual championship at the intercollegiate field events on May 31 at Griffiths Stadium, with 10 points. Don Johnston scored 5 points in the senior division and Fred Wright 3 points among the juniors. Good Work! ,-..-k Jack Mc.: You talk as though you thought I was a fool. Wes P.: Then I have misjudged you. I didn't think you would understand me so easily.
