BLUE AND WHITE Ju ftfemnram JAMES DOAN CODY PILOT OFFICER - ROYAL AIR FORCE Born February 9, 1918 - Died October 31, 1939 In the service of his king and country. The sympathy of the Walkerville Collegiate Institute is extended to Mrs. F. B. Cody and Margaret, the mother and sister of James Doan Cody who died in the service of his country flying in England. James, “Jim”, was a gifted son of Walker¬ ville. Born in the community and educated at the Public and Secondary schools of the city, he grew to an outstanding place in every field of his endeavours. A good student, a keen athlete, and a friend of all, gave more to him than is given to the ordinary youth. He is missed by all who knew him. Heine, his dog, must feel this loss because they w r ere inseparable friends, and they un¬ derstood each other. He has passed the first mile-stone, and in passing leaves memories fragrant wdth their goodness. R. I. P. Page Seventy-two

THE BADMINTON CLUB Every Saturday afternoon from two util five the Badminton Club has the elusive use of the gymnasium. The Jb at the present time is not very large members, but it is steadily increas- The officers elected at the beginning ' the badminton season were: Ralph lie, president; Betty Green, secretary- casurer. For every afternoon that you V, there is a fee of five cents which ;ibles the club to buy shuttlecocks. A teacher must be present at the school on the Saturday afternoons the club plays, and we would like to thank the teachers who so generously and kindly gave up one or more of their Saturday afternoons to come to the school for badminton. £ s§( Teacher: Do you know that a fool can ask more questions than a wise man can answer? Pupil: Is that why I failed in my ex¬ ams, sir? Page seventy-one

BLUE AND WHITE The Teachers vs. Seniors Basketball Game The game with which this poem deals Was filled with “ohs” and “ahs” and squeals, The boys said “oh” when Archie fumbled, The girls said “ah” when Allison stumbled. One teacher was dressed in bright, yellow shorts, Another in yellow and green, But the beau of the evening w r as one dressed in purple— I’m sure you all know who I mean. The Seniors were dressed in white and blue, But were not quite so handsome as many of you. They had played many games with other school teams, But never before with such vigour and steam. The Seniors were leading but the teachers were sly, And when half-time came, the score was a tie. But when the game ended, the score was ahead Full four points for the teachers who led. At the end of the game the pupils dis¬ persed, The boys, being gentlemen, let the ladies go first; The teachers went home with triumph¬ ant faces, Thing of entering the Olympic races. RUTH McINNTS, II-A. Proof for Problem on Page 40 Mr. Robinson lives in Detroit and the lassenger with the same name as the irakeman lives in Chicago. Each is equi- iistant from the brakeman. Therefore ■he third business man must be the !)rakeman’s nearest neighbour and he arns $3,000. per year. But this third business man cannot be Mr. Jones who ams $2,000. per year, nor can it be Mr. Robinson who lives in Detroit. There¬ fore it must be Mr. Smith. Since Mr. Robinson lives in Detroit and Mr. Smith somewhere nearer the brakeman, then Mr. Jones lives in Chicago. Therefore the brakeman is Jones. Since Smith beat the fireman at billiards, Smith cannot be the fireman. Therefore Smith must be the engineer. Therefore Robinson must be the fireman. Two fifth form students solved this problem in three minutes. How long did it take you? Mr. Allison: (football coach): “What’s his name?” Manager: “Osacawenskiewicz.” Mr. Allison: “Put his name on the first team, I never did like the newspapers in this town.” “Say, paw, you surely got me in bad with my teacher.” “What’s the matter, son?” “Remember last night I asked you how much a million dollars was?” “Yes.” “Well, ‘Helluva lot’ isn’t the right an¬ swer.” % English Teacher: “Johnny, parse the word ‘kiss’ Johnny: “The word is a noun but is us¬ ually used as a conjunction. It is nev¬ er declined and is more common than proper. It is not very singular as it is usually plural. It agrees with me.” My mother says I must not smoke— I don’t! Nor listen to a naughty joke— I don’t! They say I must not even think About intoxicating drink— I don’t! I kiss no boys—not even one, I do not know how it is done. You wouldn’t think I have much fun— I don’t! AMELIA. Mr. Ball: Findlay, are you smoking? Murray: No, sir, that’s the fog I’m in. Page Seventy three
