We laugh, we sing and we study too! Hut vou ' l never know it When exams are through. Cay is the class with only five boys Who chipped in at Christmas To buy teacher some toys. We know our debits and credits quite well But w hen F.xams come We study like mad. Many a student after four did remain. For homework not completed Was the reason they came. We have jokers, and morons and many more. If given permission Would roll on the floor. The chalk is scarce in Mr. Hartford ' s room And someone ' s perfect marksmanship Will send us to our doom. Three sharp pencils are required for stcn-class And the short sharp stroke in typing. Has withered many a Commercial Lass. These are the people who never shirk. They do what they’re told ' Cause they all enjoy their work. LUBA KKAYNACK. THINGS YOU’LL NEVER SEE .Alary Lou llepworth not sighing over “Leo. Foster Hutton sitting straight in Latin.

PRETTY AND COMMERCIAL TOO In a room full of girls. 5 brave men sat. Each wishing that he might take his hat And move to a room where the girls had poise, Instead of a mouthful of giggles and noise. Poor Mr. Krause with his brood of hens. AVho will not put down their pencils and pens When he begs and pleads for their attention. They continue with chores too trivial to mention. ' Tis the simplest thing, but you ' ll never get it. If you grit teeth and grind, you might make a credit. Are the favourite words of the teacher sedate. If the train leaves at nine, you ' ll be sure to be late. Now- children, mind every P. B. and C hay With two sharp pencils start each day. With feet placed flat, your arms you must bend. Webster is a girl ' s best friend. This summer, each a job must seek. Remember courtesy w hen you speak. We know each one when we go away. ( ur success we owe to M. R. K. A I A IFNNK ATKINS. 11C. 1

DON ' T FORGET, iff V Torn to open it reniHUw We are the nomads of the school. The outcasts of the pack. We all have scorned the golden rule In classes farther back. We haven ' t got a line or file. We fan out in the hall. We stick our feet out in the aisle. (You just ask Mister Hall.) The teachers never raise a fuss Whenever we go slow. They know the clock means nought to us It ' s hopeless don ' t you know. But even though our books we sliirk We’re just as smart as “A , Because we ' d rather play than work. (They ' d rather work than play.) But do not sorrow, for you see, Some day we’ll all be rich. You ' ll find it takes a clever man. To dig a good, straight ditch! DON BROWNE. HE.

IOC. FANTASY OF 9C This poem as you will see. Is about my class. 9C. There is a girl named “Shirley Fountain. Who can talk the top off any mountain. There is a hoy named “Don Fraser.” When he speaks French, lie ' s quite an amazer. A girl I know is Jean I •ool. She can talk just like a foot. Jean ' s best friend is “June Cask. If she wants a dale, she doesn ' t have to ask. Another hoy is “Charley Fanil. Teachers just wish he was a barrel. That’s not all that are alive. But none can surpass these noted five. Written by A.

All gum in the basket, and five marks off. There ' s a few sly grins, and a hasty cough. We struggle through French and murmur, “Bonjour” And sigh for the prehistoric days of yore. Then History and Math becomes our next grind And we puzzle and work for the answer to find. Then a session of grammar, the next floor down. Adjectives, adverbs and an occasional noun.
