Year Book— 1929-1930 5 ROOM 2 President, Mollie Wilson; Secretary, Arthur Bodle The good ship G. W. 2 pulled up anchor and set sail from General Wolfe on Sept. 3rd, 1929, on a year ' s voyage of discovery and exploration, the crew having embarked from various parts. But it was not long and we had not gone far out to sea before we got to know each other and our cap¬ tain, Miss Strachan. Our ship’s officers were: Molly Wilson, first mate; Arthur Bodle, purser; Meryle Blaikee and Bill Colpitts, recreation officers —trustworthy mariners all. On the voyage, hitherto uncharted islands of knowledge were success¬ fully navigated. Squalls, which looked threatening, passed over our heads, leaving in their tracks but little lasting injury, while cases of insubordina¬ tion amongst the crew were occasioned but comparatively few. All hands were on deck at nine bells (?). The pride of each of the crew for the good ship G. W. 2 and the hope of sailing into Port Promotion at the end of the voyage kept each at his post. OUR PARTY Rooms 1 and 2 held a class party on Friday, March 14th, in the school auditorium. The pupils played games and had a great deal of fun. A lot of amusement was created by Lealand Davies. Confusion reigned for a time, while the pupils tried to find their partners, but at last all was ready and they settled down to an enjoyable evening. Refreshments were served, after which the pupils adjourned to their homes. For a few moments the boys were very much afraid of having to wash dishes, until Miss Strachan and Miss MacTavish stepped in and relieved their much- worried minds. During the evening somebody suggested that a grammar and mathe¬ matics class be held, but this somebody was promptly put out.

4 General Wolfe Junior High School ROOM 1 President, Herbert Howe; Secretary, Bernice Wiltse. Mathematics is not so bed. But the way we do our graphs is sad. In Spelling we are not so good, We would do better if we could. Art is a subject which, like others, is not; To match colors correctly we also are taught. Shorthand is pleasant—grammalogs excepted— And to give them up we are often tempted. Manual or, as the boys call it, Shops, Everything else, so ’tis said, it tops. In Literature we are so dumb, But really, it’s lots of fun. P. T. we all like by far the best, We are always sure there are not tests. Sewing, where we all have to work, We really have not time to shirk. In Science we learn so many things, We are always happy when the bell rings. Music, it is very nice, Although we only have it twice. Composition goes very well with us, But to make up speeches is such a fuss. Grammar, a subject for the brain—- It is a wonder we stand the strain. In Bookkeeping we have to use our heads. We really have no time to think of beds.

We have our costumes all on hand; But our P. T. is of a different brand. In our room we sit and work All the period and never shirk. Of course in Shorthan d we excell; But woe is us,—we cannot spell. Though in History we are dumb, We do more than twiddle our thumb. Maths and English are far from bright; Our P. T. (period) would put us right. If every Friclay we had gym. We would work with pep and vim. We hope someone will see our plea And give us back our class P. T.
