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

BLUE AND WHITE SENIOR BASKETBALL (Continued from page 65) was justified in her trip; after a hard- fought, fast game, she took the decision with the score 37—33. Thatcher led the ray for Walkerville with 16 points. Our senior boys came through with a 24—12 victory over Assumption. Walk¬ erville was now in its stride and sound¬ ly trounced Assumption with her high- class basketball. In the next game Walkerville took Patterson in her stride in a home game by defeating her 27-23. A1 Scorgie led our Tartans with 8 points. Although tempers ran high and the game became fast and furious Walkerville emerged victorious. Kennedy entertained Walkerville in ‘he highlight game of the year. For ears the Clippers and the Tartans have lad close rival games. This is a good ex¬ ample of this rivalry. The score at the ad of the game was 25 all, and two ivertime periods had to be played in rhich Kennedy finally gained a point, :efeating the Tartans 26—25. The season ended with Walkerville at andwich, in which Sandwich won by a core of 24—21. The Team liff Rose: Cliff is playing a fine game at ■ guard. He possesses natural ability • and is very fast on his feet. Cliff is captain of the team, i ack Sherman: This was Jack’s first ■ year at Senior basketball. He and Cliff ' made a good combination. laire Fischer: Claire plays a smart game as a forward, setting up some good scoring chances. !Scorgie: This is also Al’s first year at senior basketball and he is making a i very good job at centre. - red Thatcher: Fred is a very fast- i’ breaking forward with a good eye for i- the basket. e rnie Martin: Ernie as a forward plays s an excellent game. He can be depend- i- ed upon to get his share of points. rnie Musgrave and Bill Dulmage com- I. pleted the squad. SOCIETY COLUMN (Continued from page 47) lots and lots of skating. Even the girls got a lot of fun playing a spectacular (?) hockey game. Nor was skating confined to the school rink. Many a time our junior and senior hockey teams could be found at the Arena at SEVEN O’CLOCK in the MORNING! And what hockey teams we have had this year! The junior team so far has not lost a game and the seniors have done almost as well. Congratulat¬ ions! The season was one of many dances, coming at appropriate times. The “Hie Hop” on October 19 was the first real dance of the new term. Pupils old and young came dressed informally, renew¬ ed old acquaintances and made new ones. On December 22 came the “Terpsichor- ean Strut” in which the art of dancing was displayed in all its modernity. The gym was decorated in colours of emer¬ ald green and royal purple. Larry Ben- sette provided the “Swing and Sway”. One of the most successful dances held this year in our gym was the Third An¬ nual “Gamblers’ Gambol”, sponsored by the Agora. The room was gaily decorat¬ ed in blue and white, the school colours. Flocking to the school gym at four- thirty on many an afternoon came pup¬ ils anxious to liven the school day by dancing to the music of Bill Kerrigan’s orchestra—Bill is one of our own pupils and we have been indebted to him for many delightful dances. Basketball games were enjoyed by many and to add to the entertainment we again found Bill and his many boys helping us pass the “wee hours” away. Sometimes, when Bill was unable to come, we had music supplied by the nickelodeon. Of course, there are always the fort¬ unate ones. Virginia Isaacs, Walter Lit¬ tle, Peter Crassweller and Tom Robson saw Europe—Europe as it was before the War, last summer holidays. Formerly the social activities have been climaxed by the colourful Military Ball and we are looking forward to a repetition of this outstanding event. Page Seventy-five
