WINTER TREE VV hen you see A winter tree Etched upon the air, Spite of long lost minstrelsy, Strong and brave and bare Neither leaves nor trailing vine Whislmeriiig' to grow And no songs but yours and mine Heard above the snovv- VVhen you see A winter tree, Heed its song, l pray: You will last Through feast and fast If you're brave and gay. . -Colletta Ryan.

BOYS' FEDERATICN HE Boy's Federation is an organization made up of all the make members of the Student Body. It is maintained solely for the enter- tainment of its members, and is a thoroughly democratic affair. Its meeting are held entirely free of feminine influence 5 in other Words, itis a Man's club. The Federation has been maintained from one year to the next for many successful seasons. Successful in that it has remained amazingly free from social influence, and obligations. Perhaps that is because in the masculine mind there is no room for such frivolous activities as one finds most prevalent among the weaker sex! We men must have action! Therefore, the principal means of entertainment lies in sports of various types: wrestling, boxing, and other activities in which competition is keen. Class opposition runs high in these activities, and often a small sized riot becomes eminent, but it's all in good form. Everyone is there for enjoyment, and few if any are disappointed. Mr. VVilhelmson, Polly , the presiding faculty member, has little to do, and the officers are capable of taking care of any occasion which might arise: principally because such occasions are few. The greatest difficulty is in discouraging the desire of the girls in their vain attempts to get a view of the boxing and wrestling. On several occasions the Principal has lent his protection.
