Typical Grade Ten Day Georgena Murray and Jim Robinson At nine o’clock when all is calm, Miss Bloom gets up and reads the Psalm. Next comes Social with Miss Bloom. ’Tis then we know we’re at our doom. Geometry with Lambert is very hard, Yet we all know he is quite a card. General Math with Kenneth Glen Seems like the day would never end. Next comes English page ninety-two, Come, express yourself with guess who? The Public school supplies us milk To us it’s as costly as any silk. Then comes Lambert as proud as can be He cracks his jokes with a big HEE, HEE. When he starts to teach Biology I We try to detect a grasshoppers thumb- Then into “A” room for Physics we go, And the time seems to go ever so slow. Two periods of Physics is quite a bore, But don’t we wish we had some more? ? ? Then we get off an hour for lunch, We eat it down with a munch and a crunch. We have to be bafck right smack on the dot. And if we’re not we’re on the spot- P.T. from Keinick we always regret, Those push-ups and crawls we’ll never forget. Then back with a sigh and all out of breath He nearly worked us all to death. Then to the Separate school with a leap, Over our Optionals then we weep. Then back to the High School once again. To hear the Society boast in fame. During our spares we work and fret, No fooling around not on a bet. You have to be in a certain seat, And if you’re not there you’ve had it, Pete. One more period then were free, Every one leaves the school but me. I sit and sigh and almost cry. Weak in the knees and wish I could die. 36

A Glance Into The Future Of Some Of The Grade Tens Jo Murray and Jimmy Robinson We see Bill Horn still waiting patiently to step into the office of the Wainwright Star. Ten years from now we’ll find Shirley Bell wearing horn¬ rimmed glasses and the stenographer’s spread. We see Lome Basil McLeod a fresh member of the UEPGC— Undertakers, Embalmers Pallbearers Glee Club.” We hear that Lyman Edward Alexander is running for seat of President in the Farmers Union. We’ll still be seeing Philip Harry May down on his knees, picking gum off the bottom of the theatre seats. We still find Edward Gordon Bingrose selling papers, trying to raise ten bucks to take Jean to dinner. Ten years from now we see Irene Inez Dagmar Pollock sit¬ ting on her bosses knee taking dictation- I can hear it now, Patsy White and Shirley Woodward screaming to the Government for furloughs for Mac. After the Government finding Frank Nicholson (4f) they decided to send hi m back to school. We hear Phylis Hutchison and Alice Bassmusen are starting the “Lonely-Hearts Club-” We’ll soon be seeing John White as delivery boy at the big store at Greenshields and Gerald Ford a steady customer. Soon we’ll be seeing Lois Donelly thirteen miles north of town chasing the pigs out of the garden. 37
