BLUE AN D WHITE 1948 41 singly up a short flight of stairs to the stage for their diplomas. This year, unlike past years, the junior graduates received their diplomas on the stage. The valedictory speech was excellently delivered by Donna Haley. Bill Woodruff, cla.-s historian, carried us to many different places on a magic carpet in giving his account. W.C.I. can well be proud of this graduating class for four¬ teen scholarships were won by these students. On the same day, December 19, there was a memorable assembly held to celebrate the school’s 25th anniversary. Lillian Sinclair touched the heart of everyone as she sang “The Blue and White’’ which she had written herself. Mr. Brown led the concert orchestra in a few lovelv numbers. Lasse Pohjola played haunting and difficult pieces on his violin and Olive Murray, who is at Wayne L niversitv. came to render sweet numbers on her trumpet. “Bess, Vou Is My Woman” was beau¬ tifully sung by Margo MacKinnon and Bill Fel¬ lows. Matti Holli. a cellist, and a pianist, were greatly applauded when they played Holiday For Strings”. The programme was concluded with songs sung by Miss Auld ' s choir. The audience later joined them in singing Christmas carols. Thus the Christmas holidays began. An opera, “The Bartered Bride” by Smetana, was presented by the students in our auditorium. Both teachers and students worked long hours for many months to make the opera possible. It was colourfully performed in Czech costumes for three nights in the last week of February. On the last night the whole cast was invited to a delightful party at Hugh Morris’ home in Riverside. es, W alkerville Collegiate has had many social events, and they will all culminate in the Military Ball this May. Under the dim lights of a glittering crystal hall there, one will see beautiful girls in gay gowns, and handsome young kilted men swept up ' their dreams of make-believe, but in realitv they will he just students of that wonderful school, alkerville Collegiate.

Hut some of us also are human, And not as brilliant as those Whom I’ve already mentioned in the stanza above, Hut we sure do have lots of fun. First there ' s Mary, rating- 91%, And Joe, the history whiz. Albert’s our future Pagannini, And John’s his rival in this. Jim’s our professor, had a Kennedy girl, And Mary ' s the girl with the long flowing curls. Hob and Murray are the inseparable pair— To make fun in our class, they do their share. Eugene is Mr. Burr’s best friend. And Hetty thinks Physics is easv. Don speaking French is a second Boyer— But Richard’s more Jimmy Durante. Did you ever hear Margie ' s laugh— Or Janet’s views on Socialism? But best of all to hear is this— Kathleen’s constructive criticism. Leone’s shy, I don’t know why. And Ann just isn’t with that certain guy. I really can’t say very much about me. But Ruthy’s fun and fancy free. ( ur common sense man is Casanova Cam. Then there’s Lillian, who’s her man? We’d never get along without Bill Laing’s jokes (?) And Betty Ann and Barbara are reallv nice folks. Eliz sends Mr. Burr—into a dither. And Carole’s look is quite come hither”. To Complete this story are Shirley and Kathy And I really do hope everybody’s happy. CATHERINE BAILEY, 12A. Doug Hetcher (at the wheel): Isn’t it wonderful to be alive as we speed along like this?” Two Small Voices (from the back seat): Won¬ derful! Its amazing! SONGS INSPIRED BY 12B STUDENTS.

We are said to have the gift of gab. Perchance that’s why we’re not very drab. On waltzing into our room some morn. You never will find a soul forlorn. There’s Evelyn passing homework left and right— Some kids just don’t find time at night. bile Miss Lawton questions on and on— There, hiding behind Pauline, is Ron. Talking of the soccer game that wasn’t won Are Mike and Art—“That’s what he should have done”. George, with his sweaters on—all three. Flings open each window with greatest glee. This George the girls will never admire As they shiver and shake in their cool attire. For Mr. Burr we all do grieve ’Cause Foster’s stretching is his pet peeve. Mr. Hugill, after explaining refraction as well as he is able Asks Doug, “How does light refract from a pool table?” When Bill jumps up to answer so brightly. Poor Marian’s feet are crushed ever so slightly. Hilarious laughter no one does lack, We all may expect a loud Ha!” from Mac. Paul plays “Holiday for Strings” and vve all roar— But ’cause he used two rulers, teacher got sore.
