COLLEGIAN, 1937 However, those sharing the opposite opinion, said that the new hours would be too long for a student to keep con- centrating and that an Upper School student could not complete his home- work in the allotted time and would have homework anyway. Then too, some said, that without homework to keep inside at night, too many students would be roaming the streets at night. One bright fellow says, Leave school hours as they are, who cares about a little homework ? Ques. Have you perceived any change in your manners, ideas, habits or speech since you came to High School? Ans. There is the general opinion that there has been a gradual improvement in the manners of the students, but that the habits remain much the same as they were. English Literature and Com- position have had great effect on their speech. Ques. What is your advice to a First Former entering the collegiate? Ans. The old rhyme, Early to bed, Early to rise Make you healthy Wealthy and wise, is the best advice to the first formers according to some of the fifth form students. All impressed the one point, however, that students entering the school should get to work at the very beginning and not get behind in their Work. This would make their later school much easier. We regret to say that with regard to the question, What incident would you like best to forget ? there were very, very few answers. Apparently the students like to laugh at others, but when it comes down to a question of being laughed at, it is' not quite so agree- A MIDNIGHT FANTASY fContinued from Page 369 Japanese garden out of the direct rays of light so as to preserve its natural colours. For he was a careful man. But he was not alert enough to see that the handsome tin soldier held the porcelain ballet-dancer's red rose. Nor did he notice that the little black poodle had at last jumped through the hoop held by the tiny clown twho, by the way, was made of Walnut-Woody. STRATFORD, ONT. SCHOOL REPRESENTATIVE AT THE CORONATION The Overseas Education League has ar- ranged that a number of Secondary School pupils of the Empire will have an opportunity to visit London during the Coronation cere- monies.

COLLEGIAN, 1937. FOUR A! By D, H. Four A! the pride of our fair school. Who hasn't heard of us -renowned in love and war. We are the bright, intelligent 173 students who are appreciated by all, tthat is all in our classy and are the joy of the teachers. Mr. Bryan really admires our ex- tensive knowledge of the un- known world about us. While we are the joy of Mr. Fuller's life with our keen sense of mis- understanding in that difficult subject of Algebra that only bright people such as he can conquer and subdue. Our French is the pride of Miss Stuart's teaching tho everyone can not understand our so-called pro- nunciation. At music, our voices can't even be classed in the same category as canaries rthey are far superior to usl. With our famous forethought, we long ago realized what leaving our be- loved teachers would mean, so several of us are planning to stay another year to try and make up for the loss of the others. It is well-known that to punish us is a heart-breaking task for our tender-hearted teachers so we are sent across the hall to the office, which is so conveniently close at hand. But this seldom happens, be- cause our misdemeanours are so few and far between. So to those who would be bright and the pride of their teachers, come to us for lessons in that science we know so little about-ethics. My Virgil 'tis of thee, Short road to lunacyg O'er thee I rave. Another month or so, Of Studying this, I know Will send me straight below Into my grave. D. Durst, 4A. In 4A there's a boy M. King, He thinks he's a crooner like Bing. How our patience he tries, So we smother our sighs, 'Cause we know that he really can't sing. WANTED: One strong muzzle or silencer, by Miss F. Ross for J. McCardle. CTo be used before nine o'clock and one- thirty.J LOST: 1 perfectly good tongue, from excessive wagging. Finder please return to M. McMillan, 4A. In 4A there's a Mr. S. Pope, Of our class he's the pride, and we hope That he will not fail us Though teachers bewail us Because with our work we can't cope. There once was a girl so be- nighted, She never knew when she was slighted, She could go to a party, And eat just as hearty, As if she'd been really invited. Miss McQueen: Please state the difference between the words result and Hconsequencef' M. King iknowinglyiz Results are what you expect, and conse- quences are what you get. D. Durst tto M, Wardb: Do you know that that little dog you've got there bit me on the ankle? Ward: Well, what of it? You surely couldn't expect a little dog like that to bite you on the neck, could you? Mr. Adamson: What are cal- ories? D. Hollingworthz Oh, I've heard his band on the radio. Mr. A.: You've what? D. H.: Yes. Cab. Calorie and Paul Vitamin's too. Parsley, parsley everywhere, On my daily bill of fare. See that kippered herring staring At the silly sprig he's wearing. Be it steak or creamed potatoes, Oyster plant or grilled tomatoes, Squash or scrambled eggs or scradi Each must wear its little wad: Each must huddle underneath Its accursed parsley wreath. Parsley, parsley, everywhere. Darn! I want my victuals bare. CNot original.J G. Rogers: Did you ever see a little bird with a big bill? G. Jocelyn: Yes, I once ordered quail on toast in a fashionable restaurant. Mr. Fuller irecounting a tedi- ous storyl: And then the big brute threatened to blow my brains out. A voice from the back: And did he? D. Hollingworth Ito a little boy at Park gate on King St.l: Can you tell me if I can get through this gate to the park? Little boy: I guess so. A load of hay just went through. She: My dad gives me a dollar every birthday. I have seven- teen dollars now. He: How much does he owe you? Jean Collins: Well Audrey, I hear you've started slimming. A. Couche: Yes. My aunt died and she left me a pretty dress, but she was so small! STRATFORD, ONT. There's always a tie between father and son, the speaker told the class. An irate father, glaring at R. Fraser, And you can bet the son is wearing it. M. King: The clothes my tailor makes last for years. Look at that blue serge suit of mine. There's an example. McCardle: Yes, a shining ex- ample. HOW DO WE KNOW THAT SPRING IS HERE? By Doris Forbes, 48. Ordinary prophets, talk of equinoctial gales, hoar frosts and the return of crows and robins, as signs of spring. But we of the Collegiate Institute, have our own methods of forecasting that event which have stood the test of years. The fair sex at the Collegiate are casting longing eyes at the milliners' windows these days. The boys are skipping basketball and hockey practice and drag- ging reluctantly homeward to beat rugs and clean the cellar. Theie is no doubt that Spring is in the air when Mr. Bisson- nette begins to commandeer every available dish in the school in preparation for the annual rush in frogs' eggs. We have heard from reliable authority that Mr. Sprung was seen cast- ing longing glances at a yellow sports roadster in the show win- dow of a sales room. Mr. Priest's car has shown signs of spring growing pains and has actually increased two inches in size. Country pupils spend the noon- hour comparing notes on the arrival of spring lambs, the run of sap in sugar-bushes and the arrival of spring chickens. Another indication of spring is the hordes of small children whom we see with noses pressed flat against the glass of con- fectioners' windows, gazing in round-eyed wonder at the Easter creations in chocolate. The spring deluge of roller skates, skipping ropes and marbles has descended upon the city. Florists' windows are blossom- ing forth in pots of spring flow- ers, daffodils, tulips and hyac- inths. Andvlast, but not least, June examinations are just three months away! CELEBRITIES OF 4C. The students of 4C took their part in almost every branch of school life this year and were successful in bringing some of the honours to the form. Mary Harrison won equal hon- ours with Florence Zulauf for Page Sixty-three
