BLUE AND WHi T K 1949 .15 Fred Joyce receiving trophy from Windsor Rifle and Revolver Club. COLLEGIATE HUMOUR??? In tlit- parlour there were three. He. the parlour lamp, and she: Now three ' s a crowd without a doubt, And so the parlour lamp went out. At an evening party. Bob Bell, honour student in Physics, was chatting with a pretty young maiden. You know. 1 sometimes feel ashamed of my failure to keep abreast in some of my Physics, he said. “Take the electric light, for example—1 must confess I haven ' t the least idea how it works.” The pretty young thing gave him a patronizing smile. Why it ' s very simple, really. she replied. “You just turn a switch and the light comes on. That ' s all there is to it.” That’s a nice suit you have on; do you mind my asking how much you paid for it? asked Steve V. “Not at all: a hundred and ten dollars, replied Bill M. Don’t you think that ' s quite a lot? You must have been crazy.” Oh. 1 don ' t know. I got nine pairs of pants with it.” Pat: A little bird told me I was going to pass in French. Betty: It must have been a little cuckoo. Confucius say: Wash face in morning, neck at night. M iss Hutchinson: Paraphrase the sentence—“He was hent on seeing her.” Jim: “The sight of her doubled him up. Foster Hutton: 1 write an essay in one hour and think nothing of it. Miss McLaren: 1 share your opinion. Did you cut your hair shorter? No. I washed it and it shrank. Voice on phone: John Corr is sick and cannot come to class today. He requested me to notify you. Betty: All right. Who is this speaking? Voice: This is my roommate. Generally speaking, women are. Are what? Generally speaking. Two students in Swanson’s chem lab. “Say. what’s that odour?” “Fresh air—somebody opened a window. If all the students who sleep in class were laid end to end . . . they would be more comfortable! A good line is the shortest distance between two dates. Height of conceit: Doing a crossword puzzle with a fountain pen. Back: P. Mansfield. R. Hoshal, D. Forsyth. Centre: T. Ray, G. Cumming, D. Burge. P. Melnik. J. Dowler. Front; J. Ord, M. MacKenzie, W. MacMillan, P. Cole, M. Brown. SPECIAL CADET RIFLE COMPETITION All secondary schools in Windsor competed for a special trophy April 12.

F.bbinghaus gave a perfect answer in English. Anne Vermeer wasn ' t always the first one out the door, Bill Laing didn ' t walk as if he had springs in his shoes, Richard Black got a hair-cut. Miss McLaren stopped endeavouring to make us think? . . . 1 wonder ? ? ? TECHNICAL TERMINOLOGY English—I hat tine is merely a re¬ iteration of a platitude.

And Foster ' s taking life easy Always gets himself in a mess. Harold ' s all for hockey, Lillian for baby blue eyes, Barbara’s is our own magazine. And Dorothea ' s is homemade pies. I think Leo ' s is the pool room But I really am not sure, Stuart is for tennis, The rhumba is Walter Ure ' s. Leone ' s downfall is American clothes, Catherine ' s is Midland and cream puff. Kathleen is strong for pharmacy. John ' s is photography and stuff. Helen is true to Riverside. Ann appeals to Casanova Cam, Joe is for Wasylyshvn. Stash is the tail, silent man. Mary and Shirley are the inseparable pair, Doug is the guy with the dark wavy hair. Some of Leonard ' s jokes are really a scream. And John likes a certain girl by ' name of Pauline. We only see Jean in history. And Eugene too is a mystery. But Carole is the pretty girl with the high I.Q. And George, well lie ' s handy with a different kind of one. Sonia likes the crooner with the snazzy bow ties. And Joe ' s the fellow with the dark flashing eyes. 1 mustn ' t forget Jerry, who ' s handy with a gun. Or Joyce and June, who are really lots of fun. That completes the story of 13C, With odd remarks, according to me. When years go by, and we grow old. We ' ll remember these things that have just been told. CATHERINE BAILEY, 13C. She am gone, she did went, She have left I all alone. I can never went to she She can never came to I. . . . Alas, it cannot was. deepest apologies to Miss McLaren.)
