THREE GIRLS OF CIIA. There are three girls in CIIA Who never work, but always play. Theyire in trouble all the time, And that is why I'm writing this rhyme, To tell you about their pranks and jokes, And why they're talked about by all the folks. The teachers say they're bold and rude, But they're always in a happy mood, The three of them giggle the whole day through And you should hear the teach- ers chew. My! but these girls of CIIA Will surely turn the teachers' hair gray. CIA-H. L.

CGeorge Wallacel Every Day Occurrences A true fact concerning St. Val- entine's Day, was cut out of the newspaper, the other day. A very famous Doctor in Toronto, cut out his own heart, sent it to his wife, with his most affection- ate love, and he is living to-day. Sounds like Ripley's Believe it or not, but is true. Now for the details of how it was done. A bloodless, painless, operation was carried on by himself when he took an X-ray picture of his lungs and heart, cut his heart out of the X-ray picture, put an arrow through it, and sent it to his wife. Not one ounce of chloroform did he take for this painless, bloodless operation. Small Joke Margaret: Here is a lovely scene, MacLean, of Lake Huron. MacLean: Scene my eye! all I can see is water! Little Advice Examinations make people worry and Worry-makes some people thin. It would be a good idea if Examinations came every week for a great many people. In C2B there is a boy named Strain, When he tries, it's seldom in vain It's easy to tell that he's not very well, This boy who builds castles in Spain. An English man lay very sick in a Toronto hospital and the only thing that could save him was a blood transfusion. A young Scotch boy was found to have just the right kind of blood for the Englishman. After the first transfusion the English- man gave the Scotch lad 350.00 and after the second transfusion gave him 525.00 After the third transfusion he received only 3510.00 for his services. Sandy asked the Englishman why the payments were falling off and this is the answer he received: Well, Sandy, it must be the Scotch blood you gave me that is taking effect in my veins.

COLLEGIAN, 1937. S is for Spencer, Whose blush is complete, T is for Thinkers, who cannot be beat, U is for Us, who are writing this poem, V is for Vesta, whose thinker does roam, W is for Walls, at which We all gaze, X is for X-ray, under which we all daze, Y is for Youths, who will stand the test, Z is for Zeal, and also for Zest. Lena Fry is the nickname of a girl in lA. Because her nose is in some- body's business all day. But can she make eyes at a cer- tain teacher! ! Till he gets so mad that he sounds like a preacher. In our form is a lad called Jack Dolson, His father said, Guard the goal, son, Between you and me, We'll make history, Said this father of young Jack Dolson. A teacher that teaches writing, Thinks it very striking. The upstrokes are like lightning, The down strokes are fright- ening, Thinks this teacher who teaches Writing. Why is the teacher's strap like a grain of sand in the eye? Because it hurts the pupil. Spencer Hill comes to this school every day a K .ar STRATFORD, ONT. For reasons, I never could say, It's more of a habit, for he'd never have it, If he had more of his Way. C-1A is a form in our school, Where the pupils all need the golden rule, One period we freeze, and shiver and sneeze, While the next We roast for the Want of a breeze. CAN ANYONE TELL US? Is Audrey a Ford? Is Bernice Cross? Is Gwen Long? Is Doris a Lane? Is Lyda Brown? Is Mac a I-Iill? Is Thelma a Baron? And has Marjorie a Brayne? ,R tn SCENES FROM THE COUNT AND THE CO-ED Page Fifty-eight
