Now if ever you hear a teacher say “The 12B class is here to stay”, Just ignore the statement you will hear, ’Cause some sad day, we’ll all dsappear. Of course you’ll want to meet a few, Before they all bid the school adieu; There’s Jane Farrow who, every day, Has something more of “him” to say; And the tiny hero of the bunch Is Warren Smale, with a new hunch; And Derek Hopkins who’s always strong In declaring Mr. Burr’s answer is wrong; Annette Clowes is our beauty gal, Including Joyce her schoolgirl pal; And Marie Partridge, with her tiny voice, Perhaps will be some soldier’s choice. There’s Don Taylor our drummer boy; And Ralph Howling whose car is his joy. There’s Betty J. our skating star, And Art who draw ' s his big dream-car; Ed Gurgash is our Algebra lad; Aurel Radin in History isn’t bad. Betty McAllister in English is smart; And Doris Sharkey w r ho took the part Of Aunt Gertrude in the play, Will act, perhaps, some day; Joe Cameron is our little man; Our timid girl is Dorothy Brown; Mac Haw’kins gets the teacher’s goat, By making queer noises in his throat. Stan Butcherd, w ' ith his donkey’s neigh Will be on the radio some day; Monica McKinley, it seems to me, Is never on time, w ' hen she should be; A class like this no one can beat, But if the others you’d like to meet, Listen to me and do as I say, Come up and see us all some day. Mary Sesak, 12B A good line is the shortest distance be¬ tween two dates. DAFFYNITIONS Sausage—I never saw sage a column Gold—Spring affliction. Thirsty—Day after Wednesday. Spanish—Popeye’s food.

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. (Author ' s name withe’d for reasons of . . . personal safety, i A Student Looks at School Three hours of homework at least each night, And dozens of hard exams to writ ' ' . Education is a wonderful thing - . Lots of people its praises sing; The wonder of knowledge, the glory ol thought. That stuff to me is so much rot . . . What’s the use?

BLUE AND WHITE Jfontt fclrtuui Morning cums it’s then eye riz, Put on my shirt, put on my ty-z, Eat my breakfast then to skool, There too reed the Dayly Drool. Then to awl our classes kreep, Their too ketch up on hour sleep. When the belle rings, with sirpreyse Wee gradually opin up hour I’s. Eric Potter. Comments by two average girl students at a hockey game. Look! One of the players can’t af¬ ford a sweater like the rest; he’s wear¬ ing a white one. Don’t be silly, Cobina, that’s the em¬ pire. He’s the one who serves the ball when the game starts. Hurrah for the fellow in the blue and red sweater. He batted the ball into our cage. That’s another touchdown. They aren ' t touchdowns. They’re called ghouls or something. That mean old empire is putting Johnson in the penal colony for juvenile delinquency, I think. That cute little boy just shot another hole-in-one. There goes a foul ball into the blea¬ chers. Those poor boys must be from some prison; they all have numbers, and there is a wall around the court to keep them in. Don’t you think it’s mean of those boys to bat the ball at that poor boy in the cage. There’s the recess bell and the end of the third inning. Let’s go home. Robin, 11 A. SO YOU WORRY? Breathes there a man with soul so dead Wh never to himself hath said “Woe is me”? How suitable are these words! Could anyone find a more descriptive remark to express utter dejection or complete despair? However, why do you worry? Is worry not a mental obsession only? Do you worry because your father be¬ fore you worried? You do not need to worry; eat and be merry, for tomorrow you may be dead. What! You don’t want to be dead? There you are. You are worrying ab¬ out being dead. How do you know what it is like to be dead? Have you ever been dead? Now do you see how useless wor¬ ry is? The more you worry, the less you do, and the less you do, the more you have to worry about. Get wise, kids. No more worrying. Anyhow it puts wrinkles in your faces, and makes you look like Lionel “Play¬ boy” Barrymore. This hyar piece o’ literature drawn up this day April 2 by a right passable stoodent of 11 A. CHEZ GEORGES Tous les students go to Georges a quatre heures tous les jours except for la classe des officiers. Georges est un pe¬ tit garcon. Flash est just learning to parler Francais. It dit ‘Comment se va?’ which means to him ‘What do you want ?’ Georges has une grande cafe qui est toujours filled avec lazy garcons et lazy filies. Le food of Georges est tres bon. So go a Georges pour un tres bien dejeuner. Georges aussi has un helper s’appelle Happy. Georges est tres crabby du garcons mais, il les aime very much. II ne desire pas avoir the boys and tous les jours Georges kick les students out a cinq heures. 11-A POEM With her brimming glass of water, Miss Brown comes bursting in, But the pupils have their suspicions That it’s a Mickey Finn. Fred proves out all the theorems With much ado and fuss. With all the girls ’round here He’s drawing curves for us. Page Fifty-four
