or more pictures to the school, to be sold<br />

at a Grand Auction. The sale was widely<br />

publicized, bpth by posters and through<br />

the contacts of the pupils. All Toronto<br />

knew of Jarvis’ wonderful Picture Sale.<br />

When the pictures had all been assembled,<br />

a number of the students carefully carried<br />

the paintings from the school to the Central<br />

Y.M.C.A. where the public auction<br />

was to be held. The net profit was seven<br />

hundred and sixty dollars. Half the proceeds<br />

went to the painters, the other half<br />

to the school.<br />

The Book Sale was organized by Dr.<br />

Pape* Ray<br />

Fred Corcoran, 2C<br />

Every morn at half-past five,<br />

Long ere the rest of the world is alive,<br />

My alarm clock rings and tells me it's time<br />

To rise and earn my daily dime.<br />

Throwing papers at steps and door<br />

Is a way of improving my batting score;<br />

I try to aim them straight and true,<br />

And the ones I miss arc very fciv.<br />

Within my paper, what will they find?<br />

News and views of every kind,<br />

I never have time for myself, to see,—<br />

Everyone reads my papers but me.<br />

When I see the last big house appear,<br />

I hurl the paper with a cheer.<br />

I’d gladly do papers day and night,<br />

If the last of the houses was always in<br />

sight.<br />

Arriving home at seven o’clock<br />

I find no one up with whom to talk;<br />

So I sit me down and write this ditty,<br />

And hope the “<strong>Magnet</strong>” will show some<br />

pity.<br />

Hardy in much the same manner. It was<br />

on a smaller scale and therefore held at<br />

a private home.<br />

They were not backward in social life<br />

either, as was proved by the monstrous<br />

Bazaar and Dance held at the school. Even<br />

the desks were removed from several of<br />

the rooms in which the fete was to be held.<br />

Candy and novelties, some of which were<br />

made by the pupils, were sold As an added<br />

attraction, fortune-telling booths were<br />

set up.<br />

You see, Jarvis was just as busy then<br />

as now.<br />

Students Plea<br />

Harold N. Segal, 5A<br />

I find that I’m writing<br />

With heavy, sad heart . . .<br />

1 find that I’m writing<br />

In pain from the start . . .<br />

So please have the goodness,<br />

The graciousness too,<br />

To give me a sixty . . .<br />

I’d do it for you!<br />

*7a a QoldjjUU<br />

John D. Grube, 2C<br />

Oh graceful goldfish gently gliding<br />

In your bowl or pond,<br />

Tropic Isle or coral reef,<br />

Of these were you once fond?<br />

Would you rather swim at ease<br />

With all the oceans yours?<br />

With sharks and myriad other fish<br />

Arid herons from the shores;<br />

Or would you rather stay at home<br />

A Disney picture-show?<br />

Or arc you just as happy here,<br />

In any H-2-0?
