NOTABLES OF FORM V. Ambrose Killorin Alias Am -- alias Abie. Am is seen at the N.C.I. on rare occasions,
but when he is here he makes things hum.
He has won a reputation this year, I mean an athletic one. Fifth Form is very proud of our brawny
athlete. He plays Basketball, Rugby,
Hockey, and carried off the “Boys’ Sr. Athletic Championship” on Field
Day. His wavy hair and winning smile
have made Abie a general favorite with all, and
have especially endeared him to some of V Form girls. Ambrose expects to spend the rest of his
life “confounding drugs”. Alma Wales Received her first education at Napanee
Public School At a remarkably early
age she entered the N.C.I. and since then she has merely “visited” each room
in the Institute. This year she is
spending all her time on German, preparatory to her course at “Victoria” next
year. Fiery hair, smiling eyes and a
playful laugh have made “Red” one of the bright lights of the N.C.I., and
have also won for her many admirers.
As a sport and social leader she has always proved capable and
agreeable. It is with the best wishes of her friends that “Al” leaves the
Collegiate this year to pursue her future career. Wallace Perry An occupant of the rear seat in the first
row of Form V. He has up to the
present received all his book knowledge in Napanee schools. His stern, yet sociable and optimistic manner,
have commanded the respect of all his associates. From his first day in the N.C.I. Wally has been popular among the boys as a
leader of sports and for the past three years he has proved a competent
Captain of the Cadets. This year he is
also member of the Boys’ Parliament for Lennox and Addington. One very peculiar characteristic of Wallace
is his habit of collecting jewellery.
For references apply to V girls.
N.C.I.’s loss next year will be Queen’s gain. Some day we expect to hear of Wallace as a
prominent professional man and later as a famous statesman. Success, Wallace. Wally Perry is our Romeo, And Captain of Cadets; There’s nothing that he doesn’t know So think the Juliets. Grace Winter After obtaining her first education in a
little country school, Grace brightened the N.C.I. with her gleeful laugh and
witty sayings. Her presence in Form V.
this year has helped to keep things lively.
However, Grace’s attention is centred mostly around a particular front
seat in the room. Never mind, Grace,
they all do it. Next year she intends
entering Normal, and a few years hence will not find Grace an unsophisticated
schoolmarm. Mae Reid “Jazzy” sits in the third seat from the
back in the last row of Form V. She is
a very “movable” young lady and has the habit of giggling at the inopportune
moment. She got her early schooling in
a little yellow school, and at the age of fourteen entered the N.C.I. Since then she has become famous as an
orator and a composer. Next year she
intends entering St. Hilda’s. Sometime
in the future we expect to see in the leading bookstores copies of “Reid’s
Improved Dictionary.” Good luck, Mae. Elizabeth Armitage Form V.’s shiest girl. “B” always takes a high standing in her
exams, notwithstanding the fact that during classes she runs a hairdressing
establishment as a side line. Her
everlasting “tee-hee” causes a certain teacher much
annoyance, but it is merely Elizabeth’s nature to be pleasant. She some day
hopes to be a Queen’s student. We,
your friends, Elizabeth, wish you all success in the future. Genevieve Amey First saw light on a farm a few miles south
of Napanee. Her early school days were
spent at a rural school, and when she came to the N.C.I. she was quite
reconciled to her fate and determined to win out. From constant work and perseverance,
Genevieve hopes to graduate from the Collegiate this year. With the admiration and best wishes of her
friends she goes out into the world to pursue her studies at Queen’s. From all indications they will be Science
and Mathematics. “Still waters run
deep.” Denike Fennell Came to the N.C.I. last fall from Havelock
High School. He entered Form V. and
shortly afterwards discarded ”shorts”.
He is a very brilliant student, -- Mr. McGregor’s Mathematical wonder,
-- a coy lad and a real woman hater.
However, Denike is very popular and a good
athlete. He has not decided what his
future will be. Anyway we know it will
be a brilliant one, and we wish him every success. Catherine O’Ray Catherine is that ever-cheerful young lady
who occupies a prominent place in Form V. and helps to make things lively
with her merry “tee-hee.” Catherine is a regular on the N.C.I.
Basketball Team. Like the rest of us
poor creatures, she is trying for her Honour Matric,
after which she intends to qualify for a physical culture teacher. We are sure she will be an excellent one. Gerald Smith Jerry, “the tall dark boy in Form V.” a
born inventor of excitement, and has done his share of making life lively at
the N.C.I. He is a good student and
intends entering Osgoode Hall in September. No
doubt in the near future Jerry will be wearing a wig and occupying a
prominent place on the bench. Harold Northmore Chilly came to V. Form from Bath, where he
has lived for the last umpteen years.
On the athletic field he is a whirlwind and was the star of our Hockey
Team this season. However, it isn’t
only in athletics Harold makes himself conspicuous, for he has invented many
Latin constructions utterly unknown to Cicero and Caesar. Whatever his future, we hope it is a pleasant
one. Helen Joyce Bobette is such a demure looking
little dimple, but if you know her well -- you’ll have your own opinion. She is a star pupil, and can do more French
in an hour that a Parisienne could do in a month.
She has a merry twinkle in her blue eyes that isn’t all wasted (?). She intends entering Toronto Normal in
September. Mary McGrath Received her early education at
Centreville, but joined us in IA.
Mary has continued her studies very successfully and has won many
admirers. She says her future career
is a mystery. But whatever it may be,
we hope it will be a jolly one. Francis Alkenbrack Came to V. Form this year from Newburgh
High School. She is a quiet individual
but a very brilliant student in all her subjects, and since coming to the
N.C.I. has won many devoted friends.
Francis intends entering Ottawa Normal in the Fall. Orval Frisken
(Buttercup) The shy brunette in Form V. is well known
at the N.C.I. He is a good all round
student. he plays Basketball and Rugby
and is developing a fondness for feminine frivolity. “Schawny” intends
entering Queen’s in Science this year. Mary Breeze Breezie blew in V. Form from Newburgh
last fall. She is very ambitious,
quiet and industrious on rare occasions.
Mary can’t “put her heart in her work”, for it is already
occupied. However, she is very popular
and a brilliant player on the Sr. Basketball Team. Her intention is to enter Normal this Fall. We pity her pupils. Ross Hudgins Owing to “School Boys” quietness and bad
cough, he occupies the front seat in the second row in Form V. However, Ross isn’t as bad as he
looks. He is clever at everything,
well liked and an ardent sportsman. He
plays Basketball, Rugby, Hockey; is a
Lieutenant in the Cadet Corps, and a boon to the N.C.I. Orchestra. Ross intends to get his first next year at
Toronto................................. Lottie Miller Lottie is “the clever girl” in Form V.,
where her quiet but pleasing manner makes her a general favorite. Still
we gazed, and still the wonder grew That
one small head could carry all she knew. Everett Smith The big boy of Form V. “Fat” thinks worry a waste of time, “Laugh and grow fat” being his motto. School to him is a minor consideration when
there is anything more interesting to do. Nevertheless, Everett usually gets his
exams, and next year he expects to
enter.......................................
As a teacher’s pet (?), a form entertainer, and a rugby player, he
excels, not to say anything of his boxing ability. We all think “Fat” is going to be a
notable, and all join hands in wishing him a successful future. George Empey George is one of the quiet boys in V.
Form. His very quietness is an
inspiration to some, while others have come to the conclusion that his
affections are firmly lodged somewhere else (?). George is able to master all his subjects,
and there is no need to worry about him in June. He intends to pursue his studies at College
and to become a Minister. Won't we be
proud of George? Gladys Withers A few years past, A charming young lass Came to the N.C.I. With hair so fair, And brains to spare (?) She’s made the rest of us sigh. Next year she hopes To leave us folks, And be a Normalite. With all success We do confess We hope she wins the fight. Fred Embury Fred is a native of Bancroft, who came to
V. Form last Fall to broaden his knowledge, and it is surprising what he has
learned. (?). Fred has the bewitching
habit of doing the wrong thing at the right time. He thinks Charlemagne is a
new beverage. However, he has won many
friends since coming to the N.C.I., who join in wishing him much success at
Trinity next year. William Judson Upon entering Form V. your attention is
immediately drawn to the occupant of the front seat in the first row. Perhaps it is his pleasant countenance, his
curly hair, or perhaps the fact that he is always deep in study; anyway Bill is a centre of attraction,
especially for the fair sex. Bill
received his early education at Cowanville, and came
to the N.C.I. to get his Matric. He has proved himself a good sport and more
or less of a “Jazz” fiend. However,
much to Mr. McGregor’s sorrow, Bill has a mania for disturbing the class by
raising the windows, turning off the heat, lowering the windows, turning on
the heat. But we have great hopes of
Bill, and whatever his future is, we hope it is one worth
while. Good luck. Kathleen Barrett Kathleen is the shy smiling young lady who
occupies a rear seat in V. form. Her
blue eyes and quick wit betray her as a daughter of Ireland, and she causes a
certain V. Former considerable anxiety. She is a good student and interested
in everything under the sun. Kathleen
intends completing her work here this year, and then entering Queen’s as an
honour student in English and History. Beulah Hudgins The rather small fair girl who occupies the
back seat, row 3, in Form V., is Beulah.
She is a good student in all subjects and her kindly ways and gracious
manners have endeared her to pupils and teachers alike. Beulah is a real musician and the backbone
of the famous N.C.I. Orchestra. She is
completing her work here and intends entering Peterboro’
Normal in the fall. Eileen Pringle With extremely quiet ways, dark rimmed
glasses and arms full of books, Eileen gives the impression of being very
studious. Besides cramming her head
with practical knowledge, she finds time to study music and takes a share in
any merriment that comes her way.
Eileen is a good student and intends entering Peterboro’
Normal in September. We hope she will
be happy in her chosen profession.
