Prowse, Smith, Evans, Beer. Ball, lVlcCubbin, and Nlaclvor collected most of our field day and cross-country run points and on the baseball diamond Kitchen, Mc- lntyre, Schutt, Tod, Currie, Falconer, Shaw and others were star hitters, knocking basef balls to all corners of the yard. With such a lot of keen athletes it can be expected that there will be a great many sport laurels for 4A before next june. Mr. Scarrow Cvisiting Russel in hospitall : l-low did you get here?

Evans And when the sun shines through the panes, Four A is not a had old form, With steersman Scarrow at the helmg lt's just a perfect working realm. With captain Ball and prefect Tod, The form can do no wrongg And when we all get settled down, Work's just one happy song. And then examinations come, And hit us like a storm: But we don't take them very hard, 'Cause FOUR A's a peachy form. Chicken-Pox O l've had chicken-pox and flu, And other had diseasesg l've had the measles and the mumps, And colds with funny sneezes, Of all these chicken-pox is best, Although it is a curse: But l liked them the best of all, Because l had a pretty nurse. Swimmin' When Pa was a little boy like me, l-le used to go in swimmin'g l-le used to go way up de cric, Where there waren't no fear of wimmeng One day, some young 'uns came that Way, And stole all poor Pa's apparelg l-le stayed in the water all day, that day And had to go home in a barrel. kf '. , - Y- L.. ,, ,'. ,U , I-li'

Wilson Assistant Reporter: C. Lindsey Considering the number of entries in Field Day, 4B made a very successful show- ing this year, and has well upheld the records of the boys in this form in previous years. Kendrick was our highest point-winner. ln the high jump he sailed over the bar with the greatest of ease, to win first place in that event. l-le also won first place in the potato race and second in the hundred yard dash. Our other point winner was Zimmerman who came second in the eleven-year-old high jump. ' Lawler, Burt-Cierrans, Gordon lVlc- Cammus, Bryans also contributed to our total. ln the cross-country run Lawler came third for his age. Our form has reason to be proud of the fact that all of our contestants in this event finished the grind and, in so doing, gained an extra point for our form. ln the Junior Rugby League we have been ably represented by Baker, Gordon Mc- Cammus, and the illustrious Allen Twins. Although we represent the lowest form in the school and therefore lack experience, we wish here and now to warn the others forms and the world at large, that we intend to show them a thing or two in future years. We also plan to take part in hockey, and already some of our form-mates are talking of having their skates sharpened and secur- ing the other necessary hockey equipment. 4B FROLIC Chemistry Master: First l shall take some sulphuric acid, and then some chloroform. Witty Pupil: That's a good idea! Mr. Richardson: ul-low many days are there in the year, Chapman? Chapman: Seven, sir. Mr. Richardson: What, lalways thought that there were three hundred and sixty- Five. Chapman: Well, sir, there's Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, and that's all l ever heard of. Mr. Scarrow four much beloved mathe- matical instructorj: There are seven birds on a fence: if l shot two, how many would there be left? Stevens: Two, sir, the two you shot. All the others would have flown away. With apologies to our Form Captain We have unsuccessfully attempted to ob- tain a portrait of our Form Captain, Biggs, in his younger days. Although we have failed, we still have him to look at.
