Minister • ee`k ,At. the ,;Seafrr li Beek again after a two-week lay- off for examinations and Open House What a vacation! Speaking of ex azns—they're all over now except ter the little matter o`f the tdnals in June. The Grade 13 finals start on the 14th and finals for the rest of the school start on the 11th. Bet you can hard- ly wait! And then there's Open House. And what an Open "House it was, as any- one who was there will agree, and there were at least 500 in attend- ance. The program was of its usual high standard; the minstrel, show Put' on by the Drama Society compared favorably with many larger adult pres- entations, and the chorus of the Glee Club fitted well in blackface support- ing role. One of the .high points of the show and of the entire evening, Was the song, "Swanee," by Al Jol- son—Patsy Brugger, that is. Just who wasit, anway? It was very dif- ficult to tell. whether the person on the stage going through every strut and swagger of Jolson's great, rou- tine, was the real Jolson in his prime, the youthful Larry Park, who portray- ed him in the "Jolson Story," or dur own Patsy Brugger, who it was, by the way. It appears that we have a budding actress in our midst—she not only imitated Larry Park's routine perfectly, she also brought the audi- ence close to tears with a heart-rend- ing "Little Willie" story in the "min- strel show. Versatile, what? Following the minstrel show, the guest artist, violin virtuoso Miss Mary Flanagan, from 'London, entertained with the following selections: Alt Wein, by Godowsky, and arranged by Harry Adaskin; Ave Maria, by Schu- bert, and arranged by 'Hiefetz, and Rondino, by Fritz Kreisler. "D"rsplays abf, boys' and girls' physi- ;al education followed, on the stage. .A: few amusing incidents were caus- ed by the lack of room on the stage; ',various .,participants apparently tried to roll through the side walls, and, of course, .failed to do so, with a loud thump. , Then Miss Flanagan returned to play with•her fine style' and beautiful tone, M'nuet, by Paderewski, and ar- ranged by Kreisler. Jeannie With the Light Brown Hair, by Foster and ar- ranged by Hiefetz„ and Hyri Kati, by Hubway. This concluded the regular program in the auditorium. Follow- ing, those present were free to stay in the auditorium to see movies, or dts•perse to the various rooms to ob- serve displays. Some of the more heavily frequented displays were the baby, chicks, incubated at the school, on display in , the agriculture room, ,e Camera Club in action develop- ing and printing negatives, the dis- section of the eye of the pig, both in the chemistry lab, the typewriting reom, ,where a display of typing to music was shown, the shop where -classes were in action on different projects, and the home economics room, where classes were in action cooking, sewing, washing, ironing and serving, model meals. Here the un- expected ,happened. Several boys had ,been prowling through the home ec- onomics room, looking for food, when they came upon the spectacle of six ,girls just finishing a model dinner. Craftily they waited till the girls arose and then they seated them- selves at the dinner table and de- manded to .be served. Not taken •aback, the girls quickly dished up six plates of,hash (?) under the direction of Miss Hall, ,and served this tasty concoction to the boys. Again the unexpected happened --the boys ate it!.. ....• Later on, there was dancing in the auditorium. That about concludes this inadequate attempt at describing it, the most successful Open House yet, but it had to be seen to be appreci- ated, 1 -fere,, Pooch! They say the dog days aren't until the middle of summer, but they've al- ready come to Seaforth High. A week 05 so ago Grade 12 was getting set- tled for an English period when the patter of little feet vias heard from the door. Naturally, everyone look- ed. Nothing showed above the height of the desks, so • we all thought, it must ° be Glen Nixon. But, no—we heard four feet pad -padding up the aisle, so we looked again. h -huh, a dog! Ron's face started doing a rainbow act—red, orange, yellow, pur- ple, etc„ as he recognized the dog— his own Butch. Zeke started after it, but as the dog had four legs and Hiusser only has "'two (that's about CLEVE CARTER'S MAXI COURTEOUS SERVICE PASSENGERS INSURED Phones: DAYS NIGHTS 182 346-R WOOL Ship us your lot direct or through our local .collector.

That got the pore Utr critter, and be was carried, back in..fpr introductions before his deportation to . the great out-of-doors. ' The other dog ipcident occurred this week. A little white mutt start- ed frequenting the Latin room. He was very blase about it. He would stroll into the room, tour, a couple or aisles, go to sleep under a desk, and then lie down right across the door- way. Soon he would nonchalantly stroll away, leaving an amused class. Funny how all the dogs gravitate tr.wards Grade 12, Isn't it?, This subject Zoology is getting to be downright awkward. Several times there has been trouble with dead earthworms and squeamish girls. Now Ws a live snake and squeamish girls. A garter snake, on display, and pret- ty resentful about the whole thing, decided to jump out of its box—very nearly into the laps of three feminine snake -haters. The resultant scream was heard well down the hall. 'Why are girls sissies, anyway? Grade '12 has been on a rampage again. Here's a list of the exploits of some of the members. ' When aslre to deposit his gum in the wastepaper basket, Don (Eagle -Eye) missed td.'e basket from about, three feet away, and then spent five minutes on. his hands and knees crawling all over the room looking for his wayward wad. He finally found it, and the familiar brittle. clink was heard as it bit its_ place of rest. If it's new and different, Grade 12 will try it. Here's something really novel—a pupil teaching a lesson with the leacher present. Howard was sit- ting itting at the teacher's desk just "mak- ing making believe" when in walked teacher. To everyone's surprise and Howard's shock, the teacher told him to con- tinue, and the teacher sat down in the •pupil's chair. Flustered, but game, Howard stuck it out for five minutes, when the teacher took pity on him. This will probably serve as reason for Howard's not becoming a teacher in the future: - Then there are haircuts. Ron got a haircut, and what a haircut! Just after the awful•deed he looked as if his head had been caught in an elec- tric fan. Doubtless it was the , rst brush -cut withpart'' on the 'Side, and' no hair ar un the edges. Bert also got one—'bu% his is noted mainly for its lack of length. Lately they've been called everything from a tooth °rush to a walking burr. That's it for now., except that Grade 11 has a literary meeting scheduled for a week Friday. 'Nuff said.
