BLUE AND WHITE GRAD NEWS As we gaze into our crystal ball we see the favoured offspring of W. C. I. scattered far and wide with fate smil¬ ing kindly upon them. Some have en¬ tered the portals of higher learning, while others have gone out into the cold, cruel world of business. We are exceed¬ ingly proud of those who have joined the active services. These include Don. Warren in the army and Bill Baldwin, Fred i hatcher and Bob Williams in the R. C. A. F. As we focus our eyes on the glass ball we see in far-off McGill Bill Taylor delving into the Medical Arts, while Ken Ewing pursues the Science of Engin¬ eering, aussi, we wager, the little French girls. Nearer home is Jack Cassidy, our lone Queens man, studying Maths and Physics. At Varsity the fairer sex is ably re¬ presented by Marion Aitken studying Household Economics, Pete McClymont majoring in P.T. and Ev. Vizzard mast¬ ering Social and Political Science.

I. for Honours in more Matriculation sub¬ jects include Elizabeth Stevens. George Balint, Art Blakely and the Luxford twins, Amy Jean and Mary Jane.

Two girls especially I must point out, Engage each day in an interesting bout, their names are (if you care to inquire). Marion Clark and Eva McGuire. Eva pipes up with a question like this: ‘Why did the Romans draw wine from a dish?’ Mr. Burr makes an answer; Clark opens fire, And bellows like this at Eva McGuire, ‘What do you care how the Romans got wine? Or what do you care about Horace’s rhyme? I’m sure I don’t mind if they had not a cup; The trouble is—you’re an inquisitive pup.” Eva gets up and she answers in turn: ‘I assure you you’re just an indolent worm’. They quarrel and bellow and boil and funie, Until only their noise can be heard in the room. At length by ten-twenty the bell catches fire, And that puts an end to Clark and McGuire.
