Bob and Don don't like to stay in after school but it seems very obvi- ous why they don't. Our little red head seems to like â- .Iropping her books when second form is around or is it because Bruce is always around to pick them up. If it weren't for Atkinson in our form, it would be very dull because he gives us a good laugh in every class. LOST â€" All knowledge of Algebra please return to McMullen. Some of the boys have gone in for trapping this year. I wonder why. GRADE X Barbara informed us that her name to us is "Miss Marshall". Jim, we advise you not to upset the bicycle when you have Marie on too. Let's hope that the Easter bunny brings Jim some refills. First thing 'le knows he will be in d«bt. We're the best History class Miss Beatty has. Aren't we" Betty is all decked out in her i-pring attire. Miss Stewart should be a Geogra- phy teacher. She asks wonderful questions. Barbara always heads the class. I wonder why? She studies, and how. Does she get help from the blondie? GRADE XI In the siring a young man's fancy turns to love. Eleanor is sure taken up with Fourth Form's Frank Swoonatra. Motoring is good, eh, Eleanor, but he'd better save his gas for a later date. Shyness is a bit of a handy cap. If you don't believe us, just ask Ted. He knows all about it. Our brain user is back at school again. All kidding aside, we are really glad to see him. Mabel passed the test fo!- driving, but she sure got nei-vous when Markdale showed up and stalled the car in the middle of Kaitting's hill. Got to do better than that Mabel. GRADE XII Sonatra has a new girl friend now because he looks over at 3rd Form a lot. , . , . If Ted Banks doesn't stop kicking Evelyn McTavish In the leg she is going to fall over and break her Margaret Smith has a new flame now. I think it is "Ward". Doug Falconer is wondering who that red head is in First Form. "The blonde bonuber has lost her infantry. Bill Turvey. Kansas Farmer came to school Thursday.
