FORM FAREWELLS
FORM SIX DEITIES.
You may have wondered who the “Upper Crust” of the Wynnum
High School are. To enlighten you on this subject here is the latest
oracle from Mount Olympus (Room 3, Part 1), where the Sixth Form
deities live. This celestial abode must not be mistaken for Hades (Room
3; Part 11) where one finds the harpies, gorgons, satyrs, etc., of Form V.
Goddesses first, and so we introduce Marjorie “Minerva" Brown. She
is the goddess of wisdom, of war and of art—has just learnt to speak
and can now play "chopsticks” on the piano. Next we come to Liga
Mezmalis, or “Diana," the huntress and moon goddess. It would be
too personal to say what she hunts for. The last of the ladies is Bette
“Pandora” Poynton who is too engrossed in her reading to notice any
of the Troubles of the School (viz. Forms I. to V.).
We continue our list of celebrities with Alan “Neptune" Gray, old
man of the sea. who wastes his time fishing. He fishes with a three
pronged cricket bat, from his boat the “Argo” and catches naught.
Graham “Bacchus” Maynard, whose motto is—“eat, drink and be merry,
for tomorrow never comes”—thrives on ambrosia and nectar. In be
tween meals he works up an appetite for the next. One of our great
heroes is John “Jason” Tendys who wears a Golden Fleece on his head.
