german in our school during the past three years miss parkinson and now mrs hardie has relieved her in some of the french classes but she still is teaching all german french is a subject taken by almost every student entering ghs perhaps this is because in grade ix the new comers are curious to learn a foreign language the phrases that more experienced pupils stumble over all sound mysterious and enticing ano ther reason we meet miss luke in this early year is because the grade nirte classes have so little choice in their course french is marked for period soan so and on such a day so we follow the line here we meet miss luke she is not very big but in her head she carries all the answers to all the questions we can dream up since miss i uke is so capable a teacher few are forced to drop french through high school and we carry her with us right until we step through the farail nr doors for the last time when grade xi comes upon us we h ivc the opportunity to listen to mibt i like

french and german and graduated with a master of arts degree she liked school so well by this time that she never left it her liking for school started right in kindergarten for miss i uke was so fond of her tea cher that she returned to school dur ing the faster holidays her first year and when she found out that there was no school she broke into a broken hearted bawling this liking for the school must have turned miss i uke to a career in teaching in this way miss luke after teaching a few years in mount forest found her way to georgetown and became so attached to us that she stayed miss 1 uke as wc students know his done a great deal of travelling from her experience miss i uke suggests that wc sec all of canada first be fore we tour olhrr countries then we can compare more

which rings through the halls on mondays and fridays the choir will take part in the ser vice in guelph very shortly the an them we arc to sing is go forth wrih god a truly beautiful selection mr harrison remarked on how wel we sing these hymns there is some thing about the singing of spiritual songs which seem to bring on the best in our choir the burning question around the school is will
