This Week At the Seaforth High School
(By Jack Wallace)
Ala! ! ! 'Twee the season of fun and
/ranc, of Yuletide joy and Merriment
--everywhere, except at S.H.B. There,
downcast faces. and ' hushed voices
prevailed. 'Yes, the reports are ready.
Every year, about this time, S.U.S.
takes on the general aspect of a
morgue, and has almost the same
amount or warmth and cheeriness. It
appears that' the receipt of the ex-
amination results has, to a consider-
able extent, squashed the devilish -
GREETINGS
To My Customers !
With grateful acknowledgment
of your courtesies and the evi-

it gives the teachers a rest, and

thing that makes school endurable

school. This attitude of tolerating
school because one has to do some-
thing between now and holidays is
apparent in a certain room upstairs
in particular. There the teacher

Warning to all students: Be on
the lookout for Joyce. Do not, under
any circumstances, refer to Joyce as
being "all wet" 'in her solution for
any Math. question. The results may
be disastrous. You see, Mike was
"skulldugged" or whatever the word
would be, into pitching Joyce's Math.

So That's What It Was!
"The barefoot .boy with shoes on'
starts a famous poem. However
while the sockeyed sense of it ap-
proximates fairly well what happen.
ed to Joan the other day, the res
of it is all wrong. She is not a boy
And she did not have shoes on. Any
way, she was asked to stand out in
the aisle in class, but her feet were
quite bare. This went unnoticed.
However, there was Joan working
hard and trying to keep from sneez-
ing. Ah, me! What a life!
S.H.S. finished the 1947 fall term
in a big way this year, with two par-
ties. On Thursday night the girls of
` Grade 9A put on a play and a dance.
The play, "A Home-made Christmas,"
described the adventures of a rich
family stormbound in their home, and
was well produced. Dancing to the
music of'our sound system and record
player was held afterwards, and a
sandwich 'n' cookie lunch was serv-
ed by some of the Fifth Form boys.
(Why, I dbn't know, only that pos-
sibly they had guilty consciences and
felt they had to make up for the pre-
vious snack they got). The whole af-
fair was very well attended, although
for some obscure reason the crowd
seemed to increase shortly after the
play was over and shortly before the
lunch was served. The proceeds of
the 15 -cent admission fee were to go
towards buying new curtains, or
something, for the Home Economics
room.
On Friday afternoon Santa Claus
came to S.H.S. and went through his
yearly routine of doling out the gifts.
And speaking of gifts, some were
realily lulus, for instance, no one
can call young Patsy wet behind the
ears, as long as she put her gift from
Joe over her head. However, in the
interests of decency, I shall refrain
from naming the gift. That was the
way the whole thing went, just one
laugh after another. But the really
best thing about the whole party was•
the fact that it marked the end of a
long term (jail term or school term,
it makes no difference), and the be-
g -hearing of some holidays. Oh, boy!
' Questions of the Week
1. Who said, "Any similiarity be-
tween Don's laugh and that of a jack-
ass is purely coincidental?"
2. Which Don was meant?
Speaking of Dons, Don Hillis . is
the new president of the Camera Club
at S.H.S., conducted by L. B. Morri-
son. An organization meeting was
held in the tenth period Wednesday
afternoon, \,at which the following
were elected to the committee, be-
sides Don's election to the presi-
dency: Madeline Wilson, Margaret
