THE NEW COLLEGIATE INSTITUTE

At last the temporary rooms on the third floor are to be given up and class rooms, properly lighted, heated and ventilated, are to be provided. The increasing sizes of the higher forms have overflowed these diminutive rooms and made necessary three new class rooms at once. The following brief outline indicates the nature of the additions to our present accommodations:

To the north of the present school and taking in part of the site of the present gymnasium, there will be built an addition 110 ft. x 50 ft. On the basement floor there will be a girls’ recreation room, a gymnasium 35 ft. x 70 ft., bicycle room and apparatus room. On the first floor a standard class room, halls, cloak rooms, shower bath for boys, teachers’ room and the upper section of the gymnasium. On the second floor are three class rooms and a science room. The Assembly Room will be enlarged by the addition of about 16 ft. along the north side. With this added width and the removal of the class room at the west end, the seating accommodation will be about 550.

When the Collegiate was built in 1890, there were six class rooms and a science room. The new school will have ten class rooms and two science rooms with the gymnasium within the school itself.

NOTABLES OF FORM 1A

Surely you know Cecil Harrison

The boy that is so dumb;

He likes to eat candies,

And is always chewing gum.

We all know Jack Black

He is so very small;

And Leonard Baird, his friend,

Who is also very tall.

Black and Baird are the Latin “stars”

Of this great form you know;

In their work nothing jars,

Everything is just so.

You’ve heard of sweet Mary Gerow,

The girl we all know best;

She is so very sober,

And thinks that Ward’s a pest.

Little Kepple Edgar,

Works hard all the day,

To go to University,

We hope that he may.

And then there’s Ward Huffman,

He is so good in school;

And oh! what an artist!

And still so very cool.

Our well-known Marjorie Gibbard,

Is most popular indeed;

When she loses her hanky,

To Cecil lies with speed.

Our fair-haired Jack Daly

Has a new saxaphone;

And has organized an orchestra,

‘Twould melt the heart of a stone.

Our friend Walter Exley,

Talks a lot you know;

When he doesn’t know his work

He will always ask Joe.

Catherine Henderson is so clever,

And wears her skirts quite short;

Has a good word for all of us

And is a dear good sport.

Lastly Muriel Garrison,

A “star” to all the boys,

We don’t know which she likes the best,

But guess they’re all her joys.

NOTES FROM II B

Why does Grace Boyes have to pin her numerous colored handkerchiefs in her pockets? Is it to prevent them being stolen or lost?

If Mildred Harrington were allowed to ring “that” bell, no one would be late for dinner. She does not believe in “three minutes grace.”

We are pleased to say the Ted Benjamin is still with us, as he has not had to make use of his knowledge, “What to do When Lost in the Woods.”

Norman Woods should enter the movies. The expression on his face when he walks to the board for geometry would gain him a fortune playing a “persecuted martyr.”

A number of Don Caton’s friends spent a very merry evening at his home, Friday evening, February 27^th. Every one voted Don a charming host and considered it an ideal party.

Leslie Merritt exceeded the expectations of II B when he took part in the debate at the last meeting of the Literary Society. We did not know that Les, had such confirmed opinions.

Jim Carr’s large collection of detentions does not interfere with his sunny smile.

Don Hawley seems to love Latin and French. He spends hours lovingly over those precious sentences.

FORM III

We’ll start at the boys of Form III.

They’re the smartest in the school and always will be;

The first is Horace Lucas, who sat in a front seat,

But about all he did was to make it squeak;

Archie Wilson sits right behind him,

He always does his work in spite of the din,

Thomas Moffat has black eyes and hair,

But to have his books with him is very rare.

Carson Graham, who has a nice smile,

Is shy of the girls, at least was, for a while,

Ralph Black is really a dear,

He flirts with a different girl every year.

Behind him blonde Ray Dickson sits,

And laughs himself almost into fits.

Bill Parks, a fair haired boy of Form III,

Goes with a girl down in II B.

Don Roblin is a quiet little chap,

But never lets Robson take a nap.

Evans Robson is tall and slim,

I guess no girl will ever get him.

Lawrence Allen is a regular sheik,

He sweeps the girls right off their feet,

Peter Miller, the tease of Form III,

Has an elastic, which he uses on me.

Gordon Gibson is awfully clever,

But does he behave? Oh no! never!

Harold, whose last name is Deline,

Every day is at school on time.

Malcolm Corkill, a studious boy,

Wipes his glasses and laughs for joy.

Douglas Anderson, too quiet is he,

To be a good pupil of our Form III.

Ronald Sexsmith, the small guy of Form III,

Is always as busy, as busy can be.

A minister Arthur Parrott is going to be.

I s’pose ‘cause old maids may ask him to tea.

Claude Fraser, who draws pictures in his books,

‘Is going to be an artist, I can tell by his looks.

Gerald Gleeson, who is awfully funny,

Likes Mr. Henderson, who says to him “Sonny”.

Now we’ll begin with the girls of Form III.

There are some beauties there, as soon you will see.

First there is Ayeliffe Benn, who wears glasses,

You never see her skipping classes.

Agnes Cavanaugh, who never chews gum,

Says in Geometry, the word is “mum.”

I am the next in that row,

But I’ve nothing to say of myself, you know.

Emma Innes, who sits behind me,

Whispers to Vera, as loud as can be.

Vera Vanalstine, the cleverest lass,

Always comes near the head of her class.

In the next row is a girl called Ruth,

Who holds her jaw, because she has a sore tooth.

The girl in front of Ruth is Muriel Hart,

In History she’s especially smart.

Helen Dennison comes next in view,

She’s always trying to tie her shoe,

Edna Aylesworth, who sits across from me,

Pinches me quite too frequently.

Hilda Daly, Basketball is her whim;

She’d like to spend most of her time in the gym.

Marjorie Huycke, who certainly can sing,

Got a new coat and hat, this spring.

Agnes Davy is our side-centre,

In all games she likes to enter.

Aneta Asselstine, another of the girls,

Wears her hair in long fair curls.

Kathleen Robinson has taken a front seat,

To look at the boys; it’s such a treat.

Edna McCutcheon sits behind Kay,

And to her friends, her thoughts display.

Edna Gray, who has bobbed hair,

Can draw pictures fit for a fair,

Elma Whyte wears glasses you know,

And when asked a question she says, “I don’t know.”

Lorena Parks has long dark curls,

She’s a favorite with all the girls.

Hilda Doyle, our Geometry star.

Says it’s easier than History, by far.

The last one in this room is Lulu,

So fare thee well, my Hicka Dula.

(written by) JESSIE VANALSTINE

NOTABLES OF FORM V

ANTHONY WALSH

“Let not that man frown on whom the Gods have bestowed a pleasant profile.” So Anthony is in luck. He is considered a good sport at N.C.I., but is credited with being leader of Soviet Riots in Math classes. Anthony has a quiet, pleasant manner, quite inconsistent with his “stepping out,” “but then you know you can’t judge a book by its cover.”

ELIZABETH McKEOWN

Liz received her early education at Tamworth Continuation School and entered Form V last fall. Her quiet, retiring manner, coupled with quick wit and humour, is a source of inspiration to some (?) while others find solace in her twinkling eyes. Elizabeth intends spending another year her to complete her studies.

CUMMINGS DAVERNE

Since coming to Form V from Bath Continuation School Daverne has tactfully avoided feminine frivolity. Nevertheless he is quite a “sheik” and popular among the notables of N.C.I. He is a good student and rapidly making progress as a writer of Latin prose. Daverne intends entering first class Normal next year. Here’s luck old chap.

RUTH IRWIN

Ruth came from Deseronto High School to N.C.I. She arrives every morning in her “private car.” the Toonerville Trolley. A good student and a regular on the Sr. Basketball Team. Ruth has come to occupy a prominent place in Form V.

ALLAN WALTERS

As an orator, singer of jazzy songs, saxaphone player, and an all round student, Al excels -- he is Boys’ Sr. Athletic Champion for 1924, and an enthusiast for almost everything under the sun. He is well and popularly known at N.C.I. where he takes part in all social activities, serving on about umpteen committees. In spite of such a strenuous life, Al finds time to be the male mannequin of the Form where his exclusive ties, kerchiefs, and striped socks lend colour to the landscape.

HELEN JOYCE

Come! let’s rejoice

For Helen Joyce

Is back again this year,

In old fifth form

She does perform

Some stunts most mighty queer.

Lets raise a shout

She’s growing stout

Instead of getting light

She is so small

Some day she’ll fall

Completely out of sight.

HAROLD NORTHMORE

As an athlete, upholder of the law, and leader in revelry, Harold is in a class by himself. He is completing his studies at N.C.I. preparatory to entering Queen’s University where we predict he will be prominent in divinity (?). Never mind if he does doze in Math classes, we know someone who thinks Harold is just the “mosquito’s eyebrows.”

ELIZABETH ARMITAGE

Elizabeth is completing her Honor Matric at N.C.I. and learning to babble “auf deutsch.” She is a popular member of Form V -- her high soprano, convulsive giggles, and droll humour, being well known there. Although she is small her ideas are large, and next fall will find Elizabeth decorated with the green bow of a freshette at Queen’s. Best luck.

CHARLES JACKSON

Charlie is a tiny lad

Some times good, some times bad,

But we are all exceeding fond

Of this elfish little blond.

When he writes his zams this year

There’s not the slightest cause for fear

Although its known by confession

He’s very fond of some digression.

LOTTIE MILLER

Lottie stands out as “the beacon of knowledge” in Form V., where she is justly popular. Last year she won the Staff Graduation Medal for general proficiency, and at present is taking scholarship work. She intends entering Queen’s as an Honor Student in Mathematics. We all wish you luck, Lottie and hope your future will be brilliant.

NORMA PRESLAR

Norma is rather a shy girl but that doesn’t prevent her from taking a high standing in her exams. Completing her studies here she intends going to Normal in September. We know Norma will make a successful teacher, and wish her all happiness in her chosen profession.

MARY BREEZE

Mary spent the early part of the term teaching, but was lured back to N.C.I. by her great love for mathematics. Needless to say she (done) much towards maintaining the iron discipline of the form (?). Her merry laughter, winning smiles, and general “sporty manner” are far from the proverbial “stamp of the foot,” and “snap of the fingers,” customary to the teaching profession. Mary will prove a charming exception which will be greatly appreciated.

MARSHALL VANALSTINE

Marsh is an ever (popular) member of Upper School, where his good nature and genial manner have made him (popular). He is an excellent athlete -- a good sport. Being a born inventor of excitement Mash can’t stand monotony, and his bursts of humor, scientific experiments and acrobatic entertainments somewhat nullify the death-like silence of the Form. Whatever Marshall’s future career is it will be happy and successful.

DORCAS RANDALL

“Tiny “ is working hard this year so she can return to her beloved Kingston as a Queen’s student in the fall. She is a good sport, and keenly interested in all activities in and out of school. Her happy-go-lucky manner has won her many friends at N.C.I.

MARGUERITE WAY

Marguerite, like the rest of us poor creatures, is plodding her way through N.C.I. and on to Paradise. If patience and perseverance are an asset she is bound to succeed. Marguerite is popular in V Form where she intends spending another year to complete her studies.

EDITH BREEZE

Edith came from Newburgh High School to N.C.I. where she was very clever, well-liked and fast gaining favor with the opposite sex. A certain fifth-former would be well advised to

“Say it with the ukelele

Lay aside the fiddle and the bow.”

Never mind Edith, they all do it.

THE MILLIGAN TWINS

Beatrice and Bernice came to V. Form from Tamworth Continuation School. Both are clever. Bee figures prominently as a musician and is a regular in the Senior Basketball team. Bernice is not athletically inclined, but is a “good sport” and has been known to make some startling announcements concerning Cicero and Horace. “The Twins” are figuring on entering Normal, and we wish them both all success.

DENIKE FENNELL

Denike is the winner of C. B. Fox Graduation Medal for 1924, and is now studying for a university scholarship. Besides gratifying his intellectual yearnings he finds time to enjoy the social side of school life, -- is a member of the orchestra, and leader of the Spartan Society. The breezes are whispering that he’s growing fond of “June night” revelry. “But a man’s a man for a’ that.”

BERNICE NUGENT

Up to the heavens

Down to the floor

School in between

Outrageous bore !

This seems to be Bernice’s sentiments on the subject. Anyway she is working her way out of N.C.I. with the intention of going to first class Normal in the fall.

MAE REID

Mae is back to N.C.I. this year concentrating on Math (?) and thinks Algebra the square root of all evil. English was her pet subject but we fear that this is not the reason for her sighing. “O, to be in English now that “April” is there.” Anyway she says she intends entering university as an Honour Student in Moderns. We expect it will be extremely modern.

ELIZABETH CARMICHAEL

Elizabeth is popular in all circles at N.C.I. where she is a valued member and officer of the Athenian Society; also of the newly formed Junior Canadian Club. Although Elizabeth is not athletically inclined she is a keen admirer of all sport, specializing in Rugby (?). A student of unusual ability, with classical tendencies, Elizabeth stars in almost all subjects. Next year she will enter Queen’s where she is sure to have success and a brilliant career.

REGINALD EMPEY

If all the word’s a stage, and all the “men” are merely actors, then Reg is our Rudolph Valentino. Perhaps it is his curly hair and winning smiles that make him so popular with the fair ones. He is a good student and an athlete of great repute. No, Reg isn’t going on the stage, or to run a harem; he is going to study medicine. Form V wishes you luck Reg.

FLORENCE PURCELL

“Dreams come true when faith fails not,” so Florence is among those who are faithfully attempting to acquire knowledge at N.C.I., where she came last Fall from Newburg. Her quiet manner and pleasant smiles have won her many friends in Form V., all of whom wish her success at Normal next year.

GLADYS WITHERS

Gladys is “the Blonde” of V Form, where she is well liked. In spite of the fact that she carries on a huge social correspondence she makes 100 in Geometry. Evidently Gladys has the idea that the school-room is her proper setting, so she is going to Normal in the fall. We envy her pupils.

LOUISE SMITH

Louise is known better as Betty at N.C.I. where she takes part in all school activities, intellectual and trivial. A star pupil in all subjects, she is also a great admirer of all outdoor sports, her favorite being riding. Betty intends going to Art School and it won’t be long until we find her name prominent among the noted artists of our country.

LORETTO HARRISON

Loretto is an off-shoot of Tamworth Continuation School, whence she came to N.C.I. last fall. She is a mathematical wonder and proficient in her other subjects as well, so there is no use of worrying about Loretto next June.

GEORGE EMPEY

George Empey drives a horse and cart

He loves to throw a wicked dart,

His teachers he oft times surprises

When George grows up, he’s going to be

A credit to old Napanee

For he will be a preacher man,

Now flapper catch him if you can.

DONALD SCOTT

Like his illustrious ancestor, Phebe is a great writer and he gets a full amount of appreciation in V. Form. As a musical and vaudeville entertainer, Scott has no rival. There is not much going on at N.C.I. that he hasn’t a share in. He is well-known in athletic circles and to the whole school as past president of the Literary Society. The prominence Phebe has attained will leave a place hard to fill when he leaves N.C.I. this year to pursue his studies at University.

KATHLYN WOODRUFF

Although K. is a native of Colebrook, she came to N.C.I. last fall with the trio from Newburgh High School. She is an A1 sport and a good student. K. is studying for her first class certificate to enter Normal in the fall, after which she will strive to strike terror into the hearts of the youth of the province. A deep bass voice was heard to chant the following the other day;

If the girls of Colebrook are all like her,

Another shipment please don’t defer

Just send us along a double supply,

To make us happy bye and bye.

Perhaps it was just lucky fate,

That sent her here for her certificate.

As both knowledge and hearts she’s gotten,

When she’s gone, she’ll not be forgotten.

EVERETT SMITH

Fat must be Irish, anyway he loves a scrap and the brandishing of his battle-axe has relieved many a dull class. Fat has good ideas -- he thinks Deuteronomy a Broadcasting Station and chaperones a new kind of cigarettes. Ev. is a rugby player and boxer “par excellence.” His passions and enthusiasms run in great channels, anyway, we hope he will live up to his great reputation. Good luck for the future.

MARY DENISON

Mary is again at N.C.I. where she is completing her studies preparatory to entering Normal in the fall. She is a good student and we wish her every success in her chosen profession.

Catherine Gallagher lost her diary?
