THE TWIG It remains to be seen what we can do in hockey, but we are not worried about it. With such athletes as we have in HA, we ought to be able to make some real addi- tions to the teams. Keep up that fighting spirit HA. A Bicyclist's Fate-By Jim Goodson He rode his bike with all due speed, The cars and trucks he did not heed, The traffic signals he rushed by, And every now and then he'd cry, Will l be late? He dashed past all pedestrians, Past auto and equestrians, With screaming brakes on every hand, l-le screamed still louder to demand, Will l be late? On, on he Hew until he came, To U.T.S. the school of fame, l-le thought of alibis which might, Help to lessen his awful plight, lf I be late. Up the front steps he ran unstopped, But, as he reached the door he dropped, And, as they carried him inside, l-le murmured just before he died :- 'il was not late. HOMEWORK fAs Shakespeare would have written it., Thrice the rebel spirit howls, Thrice and once the head doth whine, We must be as sage as owls Or our work is out of line. Chorus-Double, double, toil and trouble, Brains must seethe and boil and bubble. French has cases, time and tense, Latin has its passive voice, Measly marks to recompense, But of course, we have no choice. Chorus--Double, double, toil and trouble, Once again our work doth double. Though the brains must much endure, lt will finally deflle 'em Then our liberty is sure, We will move to some asylum. Chorus-Double, double, toil and trouble, Then our heads will cease to bubble. MELLERDRAMMER IN POME BY ME. l now will relate a tragedy sad, The story is awful, the rhyming's not bad. To our young handsome hero we'll give the name x We'll sing all his praises fjust what he expectsl. Now x came one morning to school almost late, ln fact, it was almost an hour past eight, l-le rushed down the stairs till he got to his lock, As he tried to unlock it, it just seemed to mock. It was closedg it was locked, It just wouldn't open, So he gave himself up to moaning and moping, But he kept right on trying, yea hundreds of times, And after it, felt like committing some crimes. But he thought With great patience, l will try it next, l'll do it quite slowly and just won't get vexed. So he tried to unlock his padlock once more. But the darned thing was obstinate, right to the core. So finally, with a discouraging cry, I-le broke down the door, but still with a sigh. And then came the terrible, tragical shocker- The poor goof found out that it wasn't his locker.

THE TWIG QE: rn Z 1,4 J JI A A A Wm gym y ff V Ar r r A . Form Captain: I... Johnson Prefect: IVI. Dunkelman Athletic Reporter: R. Luydam Form Reporter: P. Kerwin This is the IIA News. Look at the IIA News. Is the IIA News pretty? Does the IIA News .... and so on, as in the French Grammar. IIA has made its mark in sport this year as is to be expected from the record of some of the members Iast year in IB and IA. The form got off to a good start in its year's activities with the entering of about 30 of the boys in the Cross Country Run. All who entered finished, and several were among the Winners in various ages. Between them, the points secured won the banner for IIA. In Field Day We won the Senior School Banner and came second in the entire school with 46 points. We regret to say that IVIr. Irwin's Iads Ied the I:1eId this year with a higher total. G, johnson again Ied the f'ieId this year with 30 points, being the most possible to secure. I-Ie missed breaking the I4 year I00 yd. record by I f'5 second. Not to be outdone anywhere the form is represented on all the rugby weight teams. The I00 pounders cIaim four of our num- ber, to the I25's go three and two uphold the form on the I40 pound team. As for the First team, the support we gave them at the games was as good as adding a player to the team.

THE TWIG Q7 fbffc mfixgx- g.,N Sul' Form Captain: P. Taylor Form Prefect: V. Nordheimer Athletic Representative: B. Smith Form Reporter: Cameron Our form was represented on the first Rugby team by Taylor and Zinkan who, bv the way, also stars at golf and skiing. Dowsley, Nordhiemer, K. Whitehead and Baker played on the l25 pound team. Dowsley is the man who does all the work while the rest sit round and watch. At field day, Barton Smith, our worthy athletic representative, romped home with 24 of the form's 45 points on field day. Henry came in with I7 and Sainsbury showed he was good in something by corn- ing in with 4 points. Many of the form's members are taking part in the assault-at-arms. We must not forget to announce that Fairlie once won a poker game, and Crab- tree is well on in the Tiddley Winks tourna- ment at the Good Fellows Club. l-le meets Col. l-loofer to-morrow. IIB would be glad if someone could ans- wer the following questions: l. When is Key going to get a bottle of ink, instead of making Birch furnish his supply? 2. When will Smith calm down in a German Period? 3. Smoking hasn't stunted Dale's growth, but what does G. Cameron smoke? 4. When will Birch stop talking about blonde students? 5. When will Nordheimefs name be pro- nounced correctly? 6. When will Taylor remember the attendance slip? 7. l-las Crawford ever played golf? We wonder with those plus forties. 8. Where does Dale get his permanent wave ?
