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.

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.

B L U E A N D WHITE 1948 45 HE. When Christmas was over we came back to school, Back to Math and the olden rule. And who should be there with a flirtatious smirk But Mr. “Lumberjack Fletcher with new rules for work. He made a remark to a fellow in the rear, Then greeted us all with a Happy New Year. “If you want advancement and success You need resolutions and less cigarettes. 1 can tell by the smell of your clothes Whatever brand of smoke you chose. 1 know—I ' ve seen you in restaurants and stores, Smoking and joking and making big scores On machines that support Gilboe and all of his boys. hy do you waste money on such trivial toys? Instead of doing your academic jobs You have to go out with your favourite mobs. Can’t you refrain from going to shows And places where cue-chalk marks up your clothes ? Save it for Friday or Saturday night. On week nights do homework and keep out of sight. “Girls—if you must your socials attend Plan them always to be on a week-end. Your interest in geometry 1 can gain ith either kind words or a knock on the brain. A club will stand in the corner right there And I’ll really use it if you ever dare To neglect my assignments and get in my hair!” There we sat with minds intent. We knew exactly what he meant. So if we do just what he said e cannot help but get ahead. A BASEBALL GAME Smallpox was catching. Cigar was pitching and had a lot of smoke. Fiddle played first base. Grass covered lots of ground around short. Cabbage played third and had a good head. Wheat. Corn, and ()ats were in the field. Molasses was at the stick. Balloon started to pitch but went up in the air. Cherry tried to stop him but he went wild. Wind started to blow so Cough dropped him. Ice kept cool until he got hit by a pitched ball; then you should have heard Ice scream. Potato was umpiring and had lots of eyes. The crowd roasted Peanut all through the game The crowd roared when Spider caught a fly. Light went out on a fast play. There was a lot of bet¬ ting and Soap cleaned up but Egg was broke. Hammer gave Horn a blow that put him out of the game. Door said if he bad been pitching be would have shut them out. J.M.C., 10A. Oh, Johnny—• on don’t know how lucky you are! Because I’m looking oxer a four-leaf clover I ' m singing in the rain. I seem to hear the old devil moon saying. How soon shall 1 dance at vour wedding? You may as well pass that peace pipe because I’m guilty. bat am I going to do about you? Goodness. I wish I didn’t love you so! I’ll be seeing you because you keep coming back like a song. Beg yonr pardon, but je vous aime anyway. Two loves have I so it’s going to depend on the wav the wind blows tonight. In fact, now is the hour. I’ll close my eyes now and start pretending that I’m near you. Always Linda. I here are twenty-three song titles here. How many can you find? ELIZABETH MURRAY. 10B.
