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

The MONCKS from the church- es, the Town MARSHALLS and even the little BIRDS had to get out of the way. The horns too were only little PIEPERS but now they are a STRAIN on the ears. These cars can take all the PITTS without getting a MARK on them. VVhen you are sitting be-HYND one of these cars you feel like a FREEMAN. Try one and you will have a RHIEL bargain. 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.

O'Do'noghue 5A Editor-Eva Verner The following are general answers to the questionnaire distributed among the students of the Upper School. It was surprising to notice that so many shared the same views on certain questions and that same ideas were ex- pressed over and over again. Ques. What was the most interesting book that you studied in Literature? Ans. With regard to the novels studied in Literature there is no doubt but that Lorna Doone, David Copperfield, Tale of Two Cities and the Golden Dog have been the most enjoyed of the novels, while of all the plays Macbeth takes the lead with an almost unanimous vote. Ques. What does it mean to you to be in the graduating class? Ans. Now that they have successfully strug- gled through four forms the students apparently are beginning to look at the more serious side of life. The shadow 5B Editor-Keimeth Mackintosh of their future life's work has already fallen upon them. There are a number who are preparing themselves for more advanced education which they wish to acquire. Ques. Are there any interesting historical events that have taken place during the five years that you have been attending the collegiate? Which one do you re- member best? Ans. The death of the beloved George V has most certainly had a greater effect on the students than the abdication of Ed- ward VIII. All showed that they had experienced deep regret with his pass- ing and some remarked how appropri- ate were the little talks given by the teachers on the mourned monarch. Some mentioned the Spanish Civil War and the tragedy of the Moose River Mine. One insistent person contended, Page Fifty-nine
