they have to break in they cant find the key choirmaster ken harrison who knows more about music than jeff chandler knowb about apaches winces painfully but nev ertheless continues to conduct the musical hurricane these newcomers have not been idle in the brain department how ever why not comes the query have pfastic song sheets so the choir members can watch the leader with out raising their eyes from the notes to think it took a fourthformer to come up with such an obyious im provement this suggestion comes of course from the same vocal varmit who still thinks an octave is a giant squid as if they were not provided with sufficient material the bass section mr baxter g scott in our series of trying to bring to you a little knowledge about your tea chers we i e my cohort leanne and i

dancing the boys are as bashful as ever saying that they would be only too happy to operate the record play er since this only takes one person there are numerous long faces i think this is a great opportunity for students to brush up on their dancing before the coming formal sec you next edition in medicine after three years of medicine he turned to georolgy zool ogy chemistry and physics the de pression had set in and jobs on the prairies were very scarce so in order to eat he worked as a store order clerk for the stores and purchasing department of the cnr for seven years ever dream of

coming east mr baxter taught at alton for 2 years then came to geor gctown which was in 1947 9 years ago during the war the government took him from teaching and employ ed him in defence industries on

one day i went a whaling in the smallest boat there be i had to get some money to buy a bigger boat but the only way to do this was to catch a whale afloat the day was cool i felt a fool to be out in such a boat for a whale is strong and will fight for long with a harpoon in his throat i came upon a frisky one he took me for a ride the blood was spurting out of the hole the harpoon made in his side he fought me long he fought me well he fought me to the end but i got my money and i got my boat and i loved him like a friend diogenes were proud to show you our oil storage tanks and invite you to see them for yourself across from our king street office 20000 gallon storage capacity and our green and lemon truck always available to bring you on the spot fuel oil service and of course were in the coal business too wb kenlnerson tftiangto 72 151 minos us to your door b htw this dancing in the halls at noon its just the most this charleston step has got to be seen the charle- ton went out with the sappers thirty years ago but the students are still doing it at georgetown they learn ed it from one of the teachers i sus pect with a wiggle and a jiggle and an umph umph we slaft off left foot before the right thats it one quarter turn of left foot and a draw to side one quarter turn right foot left foot down right foot to side now for the wiggle shoot right arm and foot forward this is so difficult that the body is naturally shaking right leg and arm down with a little jump as they pass the left leg going up in the air behind as you can see this is where the jiggle comes in quite dangerous as the wiggle is still going around and is liable to collide with the jiggle then rrnp now hands up in the air and flutter youve seen it before our hairy four legged friends in the zoo thought of it first left leg down and a rotating motion is imported to the hips this is the umph somewhat reminiscent of the bumps and grinds kindly note the stag line against the wall mean while left and right legs are quarter turning back and forth all the way now cross left foot in front of right i dont like this a second wiggle is set in motion at this point trans verse all over the body with hot and cold spasms close behind but dan gerous side forces are at work the first wiggle in hurrying to catch up to the umph watch out here it comes watch out urumph i always forget to uncross my legs as the girls are helping me up from the floor oh i like it i like it i gingerly set one foot ahead of the other and sadly make my way past the smiling graduates portraits through the swinging doors and leav ing the hulabaloo behind climb the old oak stairs passing the waltzing maidens in the art gallery what they really need is a good copy of the sabines i climb into my room close the door and pull the walls in around me which isnt very difficult since there is only enough room for two people and the walls are pretty close in fact and we are proud of it there is only one room in the school which is smaller and we all know where that it bennetts beat d bennett mr first duty this week is to apol ogize for something written in my last column i thought it was rath er funny but i guess i have a poor sense of humour i treated the mat ter with an air of jest but it became somewhat serious the persons invol- ved will know what i am talking ab out and i am very sorry for any wrong i have committeed i was told the other day that one reason we do not hear any news of grade lxb is that it is a very quiet class everything and everybody runs like clockwork that last phrase was quoted by one grade ix student another student very close to me tells me it is a not there is suppo sed to be a girl known as a real clown no offence i dont know about the clown business but she is a nice per son to know i also dont know ab out the class activities so i am offer ing both sides of the story and let your own ideas be the judge a week ago monday march 5th to be exact the commercial class spent a hilarious period on room 10 i was wondering if the books they were rea ding were really as funny as they see med to be why did our chemistry teacher and the students of grade xlfl look so sur prised when a fellow student was caught sticking her legs in the lab desks this is the atomic age man it is an impossibility for a girl to be a lady besides its more fun this way concerning the forthcoming formal it seemed that some grides felt neglected when they were not invited to the formal now as i understand it ten couples from one grade have been asked and they dont want to go not knowing too much regarding this matter i will say no more but i think they are very lucky to be invited this little gem of news really gave me a charge it sees that one grade 12 student on the night of the formal is going to receive flowers of course the funny part is that they are inten ded to be in a flower pot who else but bob could think of an original idea such as that soon ghs is- going to be an addit ional arthur murray btudio such smooth and relaxing music as rock around the clock has been flowing through the halls lately proving that we have our own jukebox babies and dungaree dolls go man go i would like to add that none of my columns are written in a sarcastic way or through personal dislike al though some may give those impres sions see you later alligator the georgetown
