FORM VI.
This year we have in our midst many weird and wonderful
characters. The young ladies of our Form have no common distinction,
but the heroes are conspicuous because of one thing—they have no
interest in the young ladies of the form. You will notice how aptly
each of these persons has been described by a great English poet. These
men had foreseen the personal characteristics of our members and
described them true to their nature :
RUTH CLARKE
“Maiden most perfect, lady of light.’’ (Swinburne).
ANNETTE CURTIS
“She crossed him once, she crossed him twice.” (Scott).
DOREEN CURTIS .
“drew behind a radiant trail of hair.” (Pope).

CYNTHIA HEERS
“The ivy falls with Bacchanal’s hair
Over her eye-brows hiding her eyes.” (Swinburne).
VERA JAMES
“She is far from the land where her young hero sleeps.” (T. Moore).
JEAN JOHNSON

Should life all labour be ?
Let us alone.” (Tennyson).

Parading round, and round, and round.” (Scott of Amwell).
ALAN CAREY
“There is no failure for the good and brave.” (Archbishop Trench).
PETER HAMILTON
“Old Peter Grimes made fishing his employ.” (Crabbe).
DON. JAFFREY

’Tis not too late to seek a newer world.
Push off.” (Tennyson).

Like the whizz 'of my crossbow.” (Coleridge).

From those strong feet that followed followed after.” (Thompson).
