THE TWIG told me to put in a word for his flower shop. Ward, Dick The iron man of the first rugby team. Can hand it out as well as take it. We hope he turns out for hockey, a strong defenseman is badly needed. Smokes American cigarettes, and hopes to be a Mechanical Engineer next year. Welch, Gordon Gord. hails from that mysterious laby- rinth known as Rosedale, from which he has emerged every clay for eight years, to come to dear old Alma Mater. He plays a hot game of tennis, and he and Bob Segsworth bear each other at golf. Gord. surprises himself and everybody else by his continual good marks. Wilson, Charles Charlie is the favourite in bets for first under the wire in Xmas Xams. l-le has raced through from 3A to VA in six years and bids fair to be a scholarship lad this year. Works hard as a member of the all-important stage crew. Wilson, Murray Nine long years of toil at U.T.S. says Murray. Murray spends his summers as counsellor-in-training at Camp, Ahmek, teaching the younger generation to follow in his footsteps. Woodley, William Bill is our popular Form Captain. He is an outstanding member of the swimming team, and does a lot we can't do with a Wooldridge, Robert Having known him for years, I shall take the liberty of saying that Stuff is a very fine fellow. We have run out of super- latives on the foregoing members of the class and shall finish by saying he plays rugby and golf, and boxes-none too well. Wrenshall, Arthur Regarded with awe and wonder as a very bright student. Starred on the 140 lb. team, and is a man to avoid with boxing gloves. Art plans to enter R.M.C. next year. ln a census of sport taken in the class it was proved that VA is certainly sport- minded. For all the sports there were 74 votes cast. A boy was not limited to one, but listed all sports in which he was pro- ficient. Tennis led by a nice margin. hockey coming second. Surprising in the list was ping-pong, with a large number of adherents. These strenuous indulgers should get together and form a club. l . Tennis .. I 3 2. Hockey ..... 9 3. Rugby ....... 8 4.

THE TWIG the IZO pound team, and shows great promise. Jack warmed us all up by dis- carding his short pants a few weeks ago. A good scholar. Love, Cage Known as the debutante's delight. ln spite of this handicap Gage sets a high example in tennis and rugby. ls one of the fastest swimmers the school pos- sesses, and plays a fine game of golf. lVIcConvey, D'Arcy D'Arcy has worn a path to the school for eight years. ls a good tennis player and will probably make first team when basketballers turn out. ls an expert on quick excuses. Mitchell, Douglas We acquired Doug. from U.C.C. this year, and, from all reports, he is quite a prize. We hear that he is a scoring punch on any hockey team. Attends school very irregularly, but we've seen him once, Mould, Norman Norm has been with us for seven years, and is a juvenile Paderewski. He even has numerous students to whom he im- parts some of his musical knowledge. Hopes to be a freshman at S.P.S. next year. Robb, Lex Lex says that he is going to help the basketball team out this year by his valuable services. He thinks that soft- ball is too sissified for him, and has formed a hard-ball team of his own. He is continually under Col. Cline's observa- tion. Robertson, Fraser Fraser has spent more than half his life in the school. Claims that Fred Perry is afraid of him. He startles everybody by using words like ubiquitous and he vows Anthony Adverse didn't even warm him up. Sebert, Louis Was on IV A's hockey team last year, which brought forth such immortals as French, Sivers, and Kerwin. l..ou also lends another discordant note to the school symphony orchestra. Segsworth, Robert LeRoy That middle name means blood Hows through them veins Suh! Plays golf Cand what golfll in the summer, but is really in his element with skis. Bob has been with us one year after realizing the error of attending U.C.C. Singer, Vernon Vernon deprived Clinton Street Public School of his presence eight years ago. He can be counted on for a good game of tennis, but it takes a noble man to read his writing. Sivers, Jack Jack went strong man on us by heaving the discus tremendous distances this year. ln his five years at U.T.S. Jack has al- ways been near the top in his studies. Stockwell, Ronald Ronny ran with the greatest of ease to come in third in the cross country run this year. He was a debutante to U.T.S. in '30, Hopes to graduate in '36. ls a member of first swimming team, but we are sure he would go much faster if he had about two yards of his hair trimmed off. Sturgeon, Ralph Ralph has attained the high rank of Vice- President of the Literary Society, and absolutely overwhelms the guest speaker, and everybody else, with his orations of appreciation. Wrestles and boxes, and stands in graduation pictures. Was a very romantic Hotspur in Henry IV last year. Van Wyck, Donald Van, as he is known, presides over a mysterious bunch of switches in the auditorium, and does a smart job of the lighting. Sometimes the teacher's voice wafts him off to a gentle sleep. Wallis, Arthur Art, coming through the door after the bell rings, Heaven's, l'm late again . Staked his claim in U.T.S. nine long years ago. He misses his pal Plumbtree and 66

THE TWIG Form Captain: Robert W. Davies Prefect: Ross Campbell Athletic Representative: Harry F. Smith Form Reporter: Alan N. Steiner During the past summer a form, familiar to its friends as Six , disappeared. No- body knows its fate although we once heard a rumour that it was downtown entrapped in a revolving door. ln any case, Six has gone. Like a phoenix rising from the ashes young and beautiful, practically smelling of new paint, Form VB with its sea of smiling faces and bristly beards has come into existence to replace it. With Room 209 and the headmaster's office as its head- quarters, VB has already distinguished itself in many fields. We hope the following epic naively composed by our form bard, Emer- son, may acquaint you with a few of its achievements. Gleanings Amidst the throes of revery l laud the growth of fair VB. The wonders lay exposed Which long in shadows have reposecl Unchanted and unsung. First we have the rugbv team, lt's mighty bruisers, fat and lean: Maynard, Taylor, Barnes, Hair and Hepburn, MacMillan, Keeley- The ulmmortal few, with guts. Newcomers we see at every turn: Taylor, Shand and uRick Hepburn. The latter stars on grid and ice. Maynard, too, We know of old, He now returns to the ancient fold. All welcome men who will suffice. Geoffrey Dewar comes here toog Hello, dear, just phone me if you're bluef Tennis, too, demands a call: The super-man: yes, our Bruce Hall. Campbell was the runner-up, McArthur, he was in there too But they sure all looked very blue When little Brucie was quite through. At field day we limber up our joints And gather in a few scarce points- Smith and Davies led the lot, Upholding the royal blue, white and blue We have some hockey players toog Hepburn, Maynard, Funston turns them all aside With bravado and manly pride, Others too. Then the boys in the study room Who with ribald laughter dispel the gloom Q
