GRADE IX Bob Tumey has been feeling pretty sick. He doesn't know wheth- er it was the blonde or not. Nice moon Monday night, wasn't there Don? Or was it the moon? Ruth doesn't believe in the boys get you to come out, by whistling. We have a new game, Table Ten- nis. What an excuse for some pu- pils to hang around at night 1 Our red head believes in workinjl hard. The fund for Bob Turney's candy is still growing, but we will soon have to make another for Don Banks. Eleanor Proctor didn't accert the invitation to supper last night. Too bad, eh! GRADE X Jim A. is our wizard in French now. How does he do it? We have had an argument as to whether Shirley gets the most lett- ers from Markdale or Mount Forest. Marion has taken some money from Jim to buy him some refills. Keith's writing is improving. He can read it now. Wanted â€" By Douglas Oliver, some knowledge in history. Wanted â€" A patch for David Ab- erdein's pants. How did the chicken, tarts and pie taste, Barbara. GRADE XI Wesley â€" "Who goes there T" Answer â€" "It is we, Parenthetic Sentence Modifiers.'' We are pleased to have Ted Banks in our Latin classes as we never again are puzzled about the Future Perfect Tense because that's what Ted is famous for. That was a bright idea Lois, pur- chasing a bottle of ink. Thanks a lot for lending yours, Marge. Eleanor Williams must be part Irish for she loves that name "Pat". Betty wishes we were taking the course of .\rt in third form because she thinks it would be nice to fol- low (cute little pun on Art.) Donald should get a wagon to car- ry all those books with him at noon. We think Mabel is going to be our Son.ia Henie as she has a nice new skating costume which catches the boy's eyes. Nancy has a craven for Ken. We wonder why? We think there is a guy in Eugen- ia who has a ford ear with two tail lights who gets Joy out smooching. Sure sign of spring. Leona's got her green knee socks on. GRADE XII Die^ â€" On Feb. 31st, 1000 B.C., the language, Latin. The cause was a sudden war with Hannibal. Wanted â€" Knowledge for all in .Algebra. We wish to express our sincere thanks for the new Table Tennis so generously provided by Fleshert"" High School Literary Society. What did one Fourth Form pupil do but go and search in the lumber yard for the Board of Education last week. Why do Fourth Form go to school?' To get an education so we can gel a job to earn the dough to buy the bread to give us strength to go to work â€" "Our ambition." This week the roads have been impossible, but two of our boys, Douglas and Burton, still find it im- possible to reach school in time. A catching flu is convenient when it catches up on that day when we have both Intensive Latin and French. Maybe Margaret and Dor- othy are Jus 'acky. Hazel wishes she was lucki ^oo. ^- GRADE XUI f Congratulations are due ttf Marg- aret this week. She has be^ at as- sembly every morning for five whole days. An unprecedent event in her history. We've had three visitors to our class this week, in the persons of, L.A.C. Bud Thurston, home on fur- lough from Calgary, Margaret Mc- Millan and Dorothy Falconer, stu- dent nurses at the Owen Sound hos- "'â- '-7' '^'"-d'f^s to say, we were very •'*'.' *** ""^ them. •("( ; 4tli*ol has acquired a set of -. I'i-T :VaUi« equipment and our good ..carted caretaker has made us a beautiful table. The game has be- come tremendously popular, and noon hours and after school hours always find four students hard at it and the table surrounded by others waiting their turn. Even the teach- 3rs enjoy playing it. We wonder what is going to be- come of first form. We've never seen such a shocking class. They chase each other through the halls, endangering other students, screach- ing at the tops of their lungs, when arood manners require them to walk and modulate their voices. They hang their coats on hooks, reserved know that each class has coatroom for fifth form, even though they of its own. Come, come. Grade IX you're in high school now, and you should act accordingly, not like rowdy kindergarteners. 'Frances has a lonely pre-occupied look lately. Wonder why? Angus becomes more of a genius every day. Mrs. Groheen coulchi't figure out why her physics exper- iment wouldn't work, but Angus soon set it to rights, while the rest of us gaped in awe. The boys are all growing mustach- es. They remind us of Bunam Wood cominp- to Dunsivan. Lead on Mac- duff Never mind guys, we like your busute adornments and the" are so masculine. Art says he goes hunting rabbits at night with her kid brother, but we notice that he always heads, sooner or later, for the big red and white house near the edge of town. The reason is obvious, isn't it? Tenders For Gravel TOWNSHIP OF ARTEMESIA Tenders will be received by the Clerk until 12 o'clock noon on Mon- day.

The prices will, therefore, be ap- proximately the same as last year. In 1944 we bought the large portion of our poul- try on rail grade basis, which metuit more money to the producer for good qu Ury. We are still doing this and intend to even a greater extent in the future. Notice to Our Patrons If you still have some chickens or a surplus of fowl bring it in. We will buy them alive or dress them for you and buy Uiem rail grade. Our prices are good. TUl fortlMr iMtkc th* CrMawf wlU be ol«Md SttwrAir nif hta FUdiirfM CrtOMiry & PtmIum i< Aaaw Avu, MMMfei M
