This Week At the Seaforth. High School
(By ,Tack Wallace)
"Hello, fellow -mourners! Why mour-
-mens? E1xaminations are now on top
of uri4 that's 'why. Grade 1$ exams
start November • 27, but the ''2$th is
the happy day for the majority of
victims at the old. diploma mill,
Commencement ,Big Success
it was definitely a success, and it
was even More definitely "big". A
capacity attendance of over 600 was
seated; setting same sort of record
for attendance at Commencements.
The program went forward' quite well
and both it and the dance afterwards
were -greatly enjoyed by the students,
their parents and friends. Seaforth
High iSchool greatly appreciates the
patronage, of all those who attended'
F'riday night and it is hoped that cen-.
tinned interest in the High School'
will be forthcoming.
A Sandwich Man in Our Midst
Stan must be. thinking of going in-
to advertising when. he graduates.
He's, alread.y practicing ,by carrying
around signs from class to class. It's
a mystery though, what he is adver-
tising—it appears to be some product
called "Kick Me." The sigr.: them-
selves were rather unusual too. They
were artistically executed on the back
of his sweater with chalk. What is
advertising coming to nowadays!
Eggs
If there is a new and crazy way to
do anything, you can be sure that the
'students of S.H.S. • will discover it.
The two worst ones this week con-
cern ' eggs.
The usual way to make scrambled
eggs is to break each egg separately
into the skillet, and then stir the
whole mess while it is cooking. One
young fellow at S.H.S. wasn't satis-
fied with this tried and proven meth-
od—no siree! He had to try some-
thing different. Spying a basket con-
taining about two dozen eggs, he was.
seized with the desire to have scram-
bled eggs. Acting on that impulse,
and being- in a hurry for his eggs, he
placed his c ainty little foot in the
basket and began to stir them, some-
what violently. The egg -shells Put up'
a brave fight, but it was a losing
battle against the heavy shoe of the
egg -fiend, so' the only thing happened
that cpuld have happened—the eggs'.
broke—eleven of them, to be exact.'
What a way to make scrambled eggs,
George! '
The other egg irrbident this week
was a certain Miss's attempt to make
a poached egg on the floor of the
Home Economics room. Well, that's
what it looked like anyway: If that
wasn't it, then she was laying said
egg, so we'll give her the benefit of
the doubt. Anyway, there was the
egg, relaxed all over the floor, just
waiting to be eaten or cleaned up.
Who knows what they do in the Home
Economics room?,
Eeeeeek 1 1. 1
. , said the girls, Jo in particu
lar, when a certain small dead rod-
ent made its appearance in Zoology
class... Zoology may be the atudly of
animal•-,organismss but that doesn't
include tiny, flea-bitten, drowned mise,
so say the girls. When "someone"
was out of the room, Bee gingerly,
carried the bedraggled little corpse
into the room by its tail. He said he
had found it in a pail of water. (Quite.
probably he did, too — one never
knows what one is going to findin
that sehool).
The. mousey cadaver was placed le
a prominent position on the corner of
"someone's" desk, after it had made
several rapid circuits of the room in
the hands of various boys of the class
scaring the feminine members of .the
class. Great was the glee and sup-
pressed merriment 'when. it passed un-
noticed for some little time—that is,
until "someone's" hand landed smack
on top of it. From then on, the mer-
riment could not be suppressed with-
out risk of choking, so the "hallowed
halls" of SALS. reverberated to the
roars of laughter coming from the
Zoology room.
It's always desirable to have actual
models on hand for practical experi-
ments, but, Gordy, dead mice really
aren't on the course, you know,
Basketball Again
Palmerston High School challenged
the basketball teams, both boys and
girls, to games in Palmerston Friday
night. Joke! I guess we fooled them, -
.eh? Seaforth doesn't even have any
teams yet! The boys have had ex-
actly one practice, and while the girls
have been practicing right along, they
too haven't a team picked. So when
you say the Seaforth "teams" are go-
ing to Palmerston, smile, see! • How-
ever, while there won't be any,teams
going, there will, be enough so-called,
players to cover the floor, which is.
all that can be expected. at the mom-
ent. •
That's it for this time, folks, and
also for the next couple 'of weeks.
Writing this junk and writing exams
,just do not mix, so we'll be back af-
ter exams.
Only 27 shopping days (I think) un-
til. Christmas! ' Do your Christmas
shopping early.
Only three school days left until
exams—why didn't you do your study-
ing early?
ST. COLUMBAN
The monthly meeting of the C.W.L.

a balance of $112.31. , A letter con-
cerning capita tax was read and ar-

mas dance. The meeting closed with
Prayer.

was the 'presentation of the scholar-
.ships to proficient students. The

at $25, was awarded to Mary Ryan
by the Alumni Association, and pres-
ented by Alvin W. Sillery, who point-
ed out the value of an active Alumni
Association to the school and urged,,
recent graduates to take an interest
in it. Two other scholarships came to
Seaforth High School last year—two
of the three Dominion -Provincial Uni-
versity Scholarships allotted to Huts
on County. Each scholarship is va-
lued at $400. Mary, Ryan and Delbert
Smith were the recipients. They were

were presented by C. M. Smith,

the showing -of several films, -one of
which featured community singing.
The second, titled "Seward's. Folly,"
gave a short history of Alaska, and
described its position in the world to-
day. The other film was about skiing,
both in Europe and North America,
and gave a thrilling demonstration of
many expert skiers in action, among
beautiful winter scenery.
The girls of the Glee Club conclud-
'ed the program with the selection,
"Drink To Me Only," under the di-
rection of Miss Hall. The record-play-
er again provided music for Glancing.
