The summer of 1928 proved more noteworthy for what did not happen than for what did. Astronomers had us sharpening up our skates in preparation for a return of the ice age. An Owen Sound weather-prophet had us buying tickets for Florida, while a Beaverton soothsayer had us enquiring about the shortest road to Hudson's Bay. And all to what purpose '? A French scientist gave us a revolting picture of the next war, and lliitfsh Israelism came along with the information that this was billed for May 29. By pyramidal measurements they prognosticated famine and pestiknce, wars and rumors of wars, and had people making good resolutions and their wills. But was there any war? The Gloomy Dean says the youth of today is irresponsible, immoral. irreligious, irreverentg that the church has become a gymnasium, a con- cert hall, a fashion show. This was said of the people who now guide the destiny of the world and no generation has accomplished more. But since time immemorial has not the world been progressing toward those cele- brated canines? Another prophet whose predictions are rather open to quesetion is the shabbily-attired gent who, due to his unsparing efforts on behalf oi' the down-trodden masses, could, evidently, never find time to enter a tonsorial parlour. He stopped me on Dundas Street one day and with a fixed and glassy look in his eye, apprised me of the breath-taking fact that I was being trodden under the heel of the capitalist, that the poor worker was being robbed, and ended his harangue by asking for a dona- tion to help the cause. I told him to get over on his own side of the street: I was working this side. liisgruntled politicians vocifcrously assert that business is bad, that the government is handing our birth-right to Uncle Sam, that Canada is becoming an alien country, that we are getting into debt. Soap-box orators chime in with their tirade against existing conditions and in- stitutions and call us spineless jelly-fish in that we do not rebel against tyranny. What actuates this inordinate pessimism 7 ls it that these gloom dispensers are endeavouring to inform the world of impending disaster that it might mend its ways? limpliatically no! They are actuated by selfishness. Dean Inge and Sir Oliver Lodge are the world's best known cleric and scientist. Their l'f'!l'l .sm THE OAKWOOD ORACLE pessimistic utterances earn them front-page prominence which is not given to the man who asserts that the world is not going to the dogs and that there is a life after death. Politicians influence electors with their sob stories. A political party, on becoming the Opposition, automatically becomes a pessimistic party. At present the country is being ruined by a low tariff and soon '? it will be because of a high tariff. The summer of 1928 should be remembered for an abundance of peace and prosperity and especially as it showed up those ever-present apostles of the Gospel of Gloom. Qfter Thoughts anti last minute jaetns The little breezes tell us the cafeteria is under new management. They also say that bacon and cabbages have been substituted for onions. We still see the soup, however. Have you noticed the shining new cash register we have '? Fourth Formers say the First and Fifth Formers are somewhat similar. They are both blissfully ignorant, and both have the look of self-importance on their faces. Now is the time to compose your spring songs. While you are at it, scatter a few Oakwoods through it and enter it in the song contest. Who knows, you might win and get high honour as a poet. Start letting your hair grow immediately, boy poets. The school is, I fear, slipping back into the Elizabethan era. A ter- rible epidemic of puns has broken out. However, our hope of salvation is that to every pun-cracker, or punster, there arises what moderns term an anti-pun complex. Everybody likes experiments. Here is one for you. Go up to your victim and pun the worst pun you can think of, and watch him. Observations follow immediately. He will turn blue around the gills, make a diabolical face, jump up in the air, kick his heels, and tear his hair, and end by grabbing you around the neck. The next person to propound a pun will be punished. On Wednesday morning, November 28, the noted English actor, Mr. Irvin. gave the thirds, fourths, and fifths a most interesting talk on Henry V and Julius Caesar. I noticed that a few Lower School classes came in to stay. It was a good way to pass a period and a half. There are two things we would like Mr. Dunkley to explain to us. One is, how to translate into Latin the phrase In the consulship of Caesar, something happened. The other is the impersonal passive peri- phrastic, It had to be resisted bravely by our men. On Friday, November 30, we are to have a theatre-party. The onli' difficulty is that more people are selling tickets than are buying them. Four out of five now sell tickets, the fifth is supposed to buy them, and wont. As one goes down the hall, suddenly four or five people rush at you, waving pink and blue tickets madly. Then, they argue among them- selves as to who saw you first, while you slink away unnoticed, and later pull out your own tickets and descend upon a fell student. Another dif- ficulty is that more tickets have been printed than the theatre will hold. It is a waste of pretty colours. Page Screw ras oAKutnuJoRAcLs Qibere is Qeulh For some, life is a mere breaking of bread to eat, and a toiling to earn the bread. Most people spend so much time procuring the means to liye. or. like unfortunate students, learning to' live, that they die with- out having lived at all. Those who think about such things are compelled to cry: What is this life if full of careg we have no time to stand and stare '? For some the world in which they move is but a row of houses, a passing of street cars: to them the music of the spheres is mute. But there are those who live with rapture. For them, there is a glamour over all things. They are never bored. They do not need to read a newspaper at breakfast. They do not need to fiddle with their watches for occupat- ion while waiting for a street car. There is a secret which these people cherish, that puts a subtle difference into life for them. It is the power of associating one thing with another. When they see a street in the rain, with the streaming light of lamps like wavering plumes, they do not register merely the sensation of wet feet. They remember perhaps another night in the 1'ain when they were happy, or of Dickens tramping through London in the rain, or they think of those lamps like plumes. There are some to whom the smell of lilac recalls vague remem- brance of a tree that used to grow in grandmother's garden, grand- mother's dark, cool drawing-room and a table with a bowl of lilacs, sweet, drooping, and little white tidies on the chairs. And there are some to whom this constant inter-association of things they see, of music, is al- most painfully sweet. Their minds are alert, not from the standpoint of a mathematician or business man, but from a poet's standpoint. They have a sensibility such as Keats had. Images leap into their minds. This is like that. That is beautiful. There is colour, beauty, a rapture in their heads, buzzing, clamouring, exultant. And there are some whose faculty of associating the beautiful is so abundant and imperative that they dream over their vision and write it out for others. This faculty, this magic, is not an unusual one, though there are few who express it in writing. Our senses are manifold and acute. Why do we not make our minds an urn to hold the beautiful '? Why do we not let the colour, the sounds, the fascination of people flood into our minds and make them glad '? Why do we keep our minds aloof, cold and grey, like empty rooms, when there is so much to fill them '? Should we not be amazed at the abundance in the world, the extravagance of loveliness? And there are those who claim the world is drab, that they are bored, that although they are happy at moments, the procession of the days bores them. Let us tell them, the ones who are lonely, the wealth that is there which they do not see. There is gold at the end of the rainbow. The reason some never find it is because they do not see the glory of the rainbow, but only the grey, softly-dropping rain. But, there is gold! There is gold! ' Bughp Why do we go to the rugby games? No doubt, very few students, even among the sober, deep-thinking i'ii'th-formers, have ever figured out why they go over to Crang's every lfriday afternoon during the rugby season and shout themselves hoarse in a frantic endeavour to make their team Hold that line! Ilut the writer, having been requested to kindly compose a short Page Efghf THE OAKWOOD ORACLE editorial, after divers vain attempts to write something interesting and brief, decided that he would apply his mighty intellect to this weighty probfem. However, having gone so deeply into the subject that he was practically immersed in it, he tin the ecstacy of day-dreaming about the closing minutes of the junior finalj almost forgot to write the required article. Nevertheless a few conclusions, which may throw a little light on the subject for the benefit of our first-formers, were arrived at after much studious scratching of the head, and other expressions of deep thought. It was decided that the root of all interest in the game is the prehistoric tactics used by the players. In the eyes of the fair sex, such exhibitions of the real manly qualities in a fellow excite much admiration, for girls do love to find that their sheik can be a man like her father after all. To her, it proves the case for the modern boy, who, in the eyes of her fond parents, is a thing to be despised. She delights in triumph- antly pointing out to her parents her boy friend's name among the columns of the daily newspaper, because of his spectacular tackling or brilliant broken-field running. How the girls love to see the players straining every muscle and giving all they have for the honour of their school! They deem him who has to be carried from the field a hero to be equalled only by him who runs seventy-five yards to score the winning touchdown. So much for the weaker sex! To sum it all up, one might say that girls enjoy rugby because it brings out the true he man spirit in a boy. As for the male section of the student-body, it suffices to say that it goes where the other section leads itl laugh ! Smirk, chortle, giggle, gurgle, grin, roar, chuckle, snort, snickerl do it any old way as long as you laugh. It's just as easy to laugh as to cry, and far more fun. The thing that lifts school from a dreadful bore to a pulsating centre of interest is the fun we have. Mr. Robb lifts us out of the depths with a joke. Mr. Brown re-enacts some touching scene between a boy and his sweety. Mr. Dunkley tells anecdotes, and Mr. Hanna's lectures sparkle with brilliant metaphors and quotations. Only we pupils know how much a laugh can brighten up a period. When the class funny man approaches, we forget about detentions and grin. Here's to the funny man. Glu Q9ur Jfnrm Cfhiturs - Another editor has been dragged from the depths of despair. No longer does he dream dread dreams, gone are the days when he refused food, tore his hair and growled at those pests who kept asking how the Oracle was coming along. To you, dear Form Editors, do we owe this amazing transformation. The last day on which material was to be accepted was past, and what had we '? By actual count, four articles: an editorial by the editor, a story by the editor-in-chief, and two jokes. But some days later you rose to the occasion by swamping him under a deluge of stories, jokes, cartoons, poetry and near-poetry. But, dear Form Editors, will you kind- ly tell us this: why did you wait so long? Page Nine 1-HE oAKwoon ORACLE The QEcunumir wlunhitiun at the Setlist Bepuhlir Stop! Look! Listen!

S., IHA Pnyr Tru THE oAKwooD oRAcLE 'lfjalzhictnrp It is perhaps a natural instinct when one sees a new or novel mech- anism to inquire into the method of manufacture. So with the spirit of the small boy who tears apart a dollar watch to see what makes it go, may I give you some insight into the process by which this graduating class was evolved '? It appears to be a rule of this world that first-formers should be as necessary and as unimportant as college freshmen. Seniors in any in- stitution are not long in making one realize his insignificance, and we have all experienced that superior tone and lofty manner which marks those above us. Everyone has seen and heard those chronic grouches who tell us regularly that we enjoy advantages of which they were ignorant. Such is our attitude toward you, and it is supported with truth, for in 1923 eight first-forms were housed in portables: but it is my private belief that the students were not merely as inconvenienced by those much-berated buildings as the poor teachers, who, in the winter months, lost not time between school and outdoor classroom. But our first year, one of newly-discovered wonders, slipped by, and the following September found the class of '28 engaged in looking over the new green- horns, while bitterly remarking that Oakwood was going down hill. And after six Septembers in close contact with the school, it is my experience that these same words have been used just six times in that period, in- cluding when they were applied to us. Second form appeared much like our first, only more so, and it is during this period that the class begins to look with the pride upon its doings. The Junior Literary Society flourished as never before, and led as usual by ZA, sponsored many well-remembered progrannnes. To relieve the monotony, the staff prepared little surprises every day or so. and we later discovered that they played for keeps, as far as examina- tions were concerned. At the end of this year the new Bloor Collegiate claimed many of the students, but the better remaining, the gain was wholly ours. It seems to me that Third Form furnished our best taste of high school life. We had lost our first respect for the institution, and were still young enough not to have gained a second and more permanent one. Then, too, matriculation meant nothing in our young lives-until June. And so the class swept on to Fourth minus some who did not realize in time. With a year's hard study before us, we partially realized our re- sponsibility, and teachers were viewed in a different light from before, even when they told us: Sign it twice, or Hire a hall! That we hurdled the matriculation barrier after the idling at which we were specialists is only to their credit. We proceeded to the exalted heights, and, serious at last, saw uni- versity just ahead fSometimes, I fear, we saw the wrong universityil. Often it seemed as if it were always just ahead, but unattainable. Algebra, Geometry and-once in a while-Latin, were studied almost eagerly, a frenzied month in a vain effort to regain a year lost, and once more we faced those papers which were to decide our fate. Then for that fortunate majority, graduation. Thus was our five years spent, and in your minds I see that almost natural question: What of it? For every class of necessity passes through collegiate pretty much as we have. Page Elezien THE OAKWOOD ORACLE but their achievements out of the ordinary are their remembered points, and in this particular our year has been rather remarkably fortunate. In other words. what has happened during our term at collegiate '? Academically, our five years have produced no less than thirteen winners of scholarships, beginning in 1924 with Roger Monkman with his unequalled record of twenty-four first-class honours, and continuing without a break through these years. But our scholastic record did not outdistance the other activities. Both Senior and Junior Literary So- cieties have kept up tradition. The play Twelfth Night, put on when we were lowly second formers, was perhaps the finest ever produced by a collegiate. Moreover, a student from Oakwood a year later represented all Canada in the great oratorical contest in Washington. The Oracle has produced its greatest numbers since its inception, notably those edited by Leonard Ryan in 1924, now editor of The Varsity, Florence Matthews in '27 and Isobel Jordan in '28. In my opinion those three would rank with any colleigate magazine in the Dominion, and a glance through them tells you that this school has been alive. More- over, the activities of the Girls' Club have flourished under such splendid leaders as Helen Millichamp. And now we come to the honours we hold highest. In the realm.of sport Oakwood stands supreme. In five years we have won four senioi' rugby championships, a record equalled only by Oakwood herself in pre- vious years. May I pause to recall to your minds names famous in the annals of collegiate rugby: Billings, Greig, the Abbey brothers. Gilmore. Lewis, Greig, to pick a pair from each year: and countless others whose names never appeared on the sporting page, but who made possible that co-ordination which wins games. We succumbed only to that leap-year hoodoo which has caught the school once more. And other sports as well. Soccer? Two Senior Championships, three times Junior runner- up. Hockey '? One Senior, two Junior Championships, once runner-up. Basketball? Twice Senior runner-up. Cadets? The Ellis cup has never left Oakwood since it was first thrown open to competition. Does that answer the question, What of it? You know they used to ask: Where is our school spirit? I re- member three years ago at Rosedale field, when Marbel Buck Billings, the finest Oakwood half-back playing rugby to-day, ran 30 yards into the midst of a Humberside scramble, to leap high in the air and snatch a short kick. His team-mates saw him carried off unconscious, and they swept down the field to a wonderful victory. I have seen many more sensational plays on Oakwood gridirons, but somehow that outburst of team and school enthusiasm lingers in my memory. They may still ask you: Where is your school spirit? I sat in Varsity Stadium and saw the greatest junior team Oakwood has ever produced fight through to a glorious victory. I should know where your school spirit is-it walked all over mel Now our days at Oakwood are finished, and it is our fond hope that while thus contributing we have added something of use. Our parents, by whose splendid efforts our years at Oakwood have been made possible, and to whom we are deeply grateful, expect this of us. For after all, the students themselves make or break an institution of this kind. The teachers mold it, learning molds it, but the students are the school. We, and you with us, have built ourselves into and have become the Spirit of Oakwood. So we commend to you our school-we hope you'll be good to it' Pllfll' Tll'I'll'l' This year the work of keeping' Oakwood on the niap Ot' scholastic prowess dereolred upon two bril- liant girls. And they did it with a vengeance. Mona Lyons won the Second Edward Blake Scholarship in Science, and 1'anked for the Third Edward Blake Scholarship in Science Proficiency, and for the Gibson Scholarship. Elsie Kaplan won t'ie Gibson Scholarship. Mona Caine to us two years ago from Winnipeg but she credits her success to the Oakwood Staff. They, on the other hand, return the bouquet to her by stating that .ill-i..l Mona Lyons Elsie Kaplan it was a privilege to teach such a willing' worker. Elsie has been with us from the first and has excelled in all the School's activities. She specialized in basketball.Can you imagine any- one taking sixteen subjects anfl then having enough time to cotne around to 4 A and help us with our German. Elsie will long be ref ineinbered for her Latin and Ger- man translations which will bc surreptitiously used until the course is changed. Oakwood wishes you success in your careers.

When no more is heard a joyful song From among your sheltering leaves. When autumn winds have torn Your covering and left you bare, Oh, will you be forlorn Standing there in the autumn air, Gaunt sentinel of fall '? H. S. K., VB. Page Fiffcrn xi! xi! 'lLiTEsAsYll.' xx A ,Av A-RK 0 Qiha The ablative absolute is passive in form and active in meaning. At these words of wisdom a youth in the rear of the class shift- ed rapturously in his seat. What had, but a moment before, been a dreamy yet inquiring face now broke into a delicious smile, a blush spread oyer it, the lips moved ever so slightly, a tremulous hand straightened a tie and brushed back a wisp of light hair. The head nodded slightly and the lips form- ed the words: You mean you are absolutely positive you will come. Oh, that'll be fine. The smile broadened. Heyl what's the joke, Nibbs. All you have to do is look intelli- gent and here you are staring off into infinity and grinning like a Chesy cat in long grass. The lad dropped back to earth with a thud which sent the blood rushing over his hot face. Mother was ironing in the kit- ehen when he got home. He walk- ed past her, hung up his coat, came back to the kitchen, sat down, kicked the cat, went and got a drink, sat down again, and watch- 1-fi her for some time in silence. Ulleyl Mom, you know that girl in our room - mother went on ironing without appearing to notice Pug: ,ql',l'lI'l'll the slight stammer - well she must like me or something. Shes always smiling at me. Don't you think I'd better invite her over to tea Sunday just to show her I don't exactly hate her-but I don't like her-she's too skinny. Mother said she always liked to meet his friends, and that night the house shook to an ill-concealed .ivy- No one texcept Mr. Robbl can resist the appeals of a seventeen ycar old youth and especially diffi- cult is it for a seventeen year old maiden. Annabelle Evans, blonde and beautiful, agreed to come. Why dwell on the period preced- ing that eventful Sunday. Heart rending days they were for the young lover who strove valiantly and successfully against a mother who, instead of a meal of chicken, fruit, cake, apple-pic and ice-cream, suggested tomato soup, sausages and prunes, and against a father who was prone to promenade on Sundays without a coat, and in his sock feet. Ilut he did not reckon with his little sistei' Eva. I'm glad Alfred invited you, was very pretty, but what demon possessed her to say, 'cos We're going to have ice-cream. The boy blushed and wasted an annihilating glance on the little insect. Un- abashed, she prattled on: You would never guess those were dad's shoes Alfred's got on, would you, Annabelle? My, Alfred, you look funny, all red like that. At the table, prospects of ice cream made her pensive for a few moments, but she rallied to the cause with: Do you always make your little finger do that when you're drinking, Annabelle? Fa- ther sought to change the subject and put his pretty visitor at ease by remarking that he did not be- lieve in ceremony. He said he al- ways ate honey with his peas. He'd done it all his life. It didn't taste so awfully good but it kept them on his knife. This did not receive the expected applause. Annabelle, not being a hardened campaigner, did not know that inviolable rule which states that young people must laugh heartily at all jokes cracked by THE OAKWOOD ORACLE older people. Alfred, beneath a red exterior, was calling down the w1'ath of heaven on this family which had blighted his career. Eva was too busy devouring her ice- cream. Oh, my sainted aunt! there she was licking her dish! Who's kicking me '? Papa, make Alfred stop. He's kicking me. Why were little sisters? Would this meal never end. Alone with Annabelle in the par- lour afterward the air was cleared somewhat. As mother was putting Eva to bed and Alfred was helping Anna- belle to put on her goloshes a little voice floated down from above: Isn't Annabelle pretty, mother '? Hasn't she got pretty curls? Isn't she the cute little dear, murmured Annabelle as they went out. R.P. firm Examinations Fair children, my readers, this is to make announcement of the latest innovation, in High Schools at least, that of periodic examina- tions of our most valuable property, our bodies, our persons. When we left Public School and came here we often wondered why we were never given the 'tonce over as was formerly the case and told to stick our tongues out, say goo and de- clare whether we had any spots on our feet. Then there was the den- tist too, who used to hand you a plan of the interior of your mouth with certain hieroglyphics describ- ed thereon and intellible only to fellow members of the profession. Will these be restored again in the school time-table? It is also vaguely hinted that a training will be given in how we should sit in school. That means that we will not be able to put our feet under the desk across the aisle, sit sideways in our seats or other- wise make ourselves at home. Un- fortunately they tell us that it will take some time to go into effect so that those of the upper forms will have missed four or five, and, for some, six years of the doctor's care. Why was this relief from disease not given us long ago? Think of the terrible things that might have happened to us with- out a doctor to tell us about it! Think yet again of what we may have at the present moment. Why even the employees of most large ofices have at least an annual in- spection! Wherefore this neglect? But now at last we can be healthy and if you see a short stubby little man or a tall fat man, or an ordi- nary medium-sized man walking about the halls of Oakwood with the look of a hunter, have a care, for he is the official disease de- tcctor.

Virgil: Wellington leader Britons afterwards war Spania's. Caesar: You can change the words around a bit, can't you '? It would make it more vivid. Let's put afterwards Spania's war. I'm sure you can. Virgil: That makes Britons' and Spania's very near together. Let's change Britons' instead. Caesar: That will be-Welling- ton Britons' leader afterwards war Spania's. Yes, that doesn't sound so monotonous. . Virgil: I suppose we'd better put the main verb next. They always put it in a weird place where there is no emphasis. Let's see, it's advenit. Caesar: Advenit - tliere's an English ve1'b like that. I saw it the other day. Let's use it instead of looking everything up. What was it now? Oh, yes-adventure. Virgil: It's past time.

Any fourth-former will tell you so, and surely they, of all people, ought to know. One of the most striking evi- dences of their brains is their ability to amuse themselves at all times with the simplest materials. A blackboard and a piece of chalk, or a piece of paper and a pencil are sufficient to render them perfectly happy. With these commonplace pieces of furniture they can embark on the very enjoyable pastime of knots and crosses. Hangman they consider merely childish, but knots and crosses can be appre- ciated by any ardent student of Geometry. The best form of the game is played with the aforementioned blackboard and section of chalk. The size of the blackboard permits a great deal of ground to be cover- ed with the curious designs sym- bolic of the game, and this, besides pleasing the eye, has the added at- traction of allowing the players to see how many times they have won, or lost, without the fatigue of keeping the sco1'e in another place. Another advantage is that when the entire board has been covered, the marks can be erased, while the game begins again. There are, of course, disadvan- tages, also. After several weeks of play, official interference is apt to occur, after which it is wisest to move the camp and carry on the war in another vicinity. One of the best things to be said for the game as played with a paper and pencil is that it can be played at times other than lunch period or recess. It is, of course, much better if both players can occupy the same seat, but when this is impossible they should try to sit one behind the other. In this position the paper can be placed on the rear desk of the two and the other player must then turn half-around in order that he or she may have free access to the paper on which the game is being played. These tactics can, in ordinary cases, be continued for some time before anything occurs to put a stop to operations. M.C. IV.

Page Tlrcufy-On: THE OAKWOOD ORACLE Qui: Gunther illibing-2 The Public and High Schools of the city have recently received con- siderable publicity in the Toronto press, not merely in the news sec- tion but also in the letters to the editor, which may be assumed to reflect public opinion. One of the most ridiculous as- sertions made has been that school pupils receive too many holidays, particularly collegeiate students who get Friday afternoon off dur- ing the fall. Anyone who makes such a statement does not realize the mental strain produced by un- remitted study. A large number of university students lately have suffered complete loss of memory through overstudy. We, in the collegiates, do seven or eight hours studying five days a week and it is only proper that we should receive sufficient holidays to save us from permanent or possibly fatal results. The statement that we get after- noons off during the Rugby season is also misleading. In the first place the Rugby season does not last longer than half the fall term and secondly we do not get the whole afternoon off but only about an hour and a half. Another letter that has evoked considerable comment was that of a farmer who said that his son had gone to college for four years and had learned to play rugby but no- thing useful. The playing of rugby having nothing to do with the choice of a course why it should be mentioned in so derogatory a man- ner is rather obscure. People who wish th.eir sons to learn a trade should send them to a school de- signed for such a purpose. The University is intended primarily to impart culture. We, in the collegiates, realize best which reforms we would most welcome. Our course in science might be broadened. The Calculus, a most useful branch of mathema- tics, might be substituted in place of the more or less useless geome- try. Various opinions are held in regard to the place of Latin in the schools. A more natural method of teaching modern languages so as to get a working knowledge, might also be introduced. Sports should be encouraged more. That is, sports for every- body. Watching the school team play has very little exercise value. Leagues might be organized in all the major sports and run so that everyone played. In this connec- tion it is well to remember that it is the game, not the winning that counts. Very little social activity is en- couraged by the school. A dra- matic society would fill an empty place in school life and a monthly informal dance would receive much approbation. Although no Utopian system has yet been evolved, our school, however, is not such a bad place. G. D. S., 5A Slerrp .lei ry was plain mongrel-long ears, clumsy feet, awkward mo- tions, and a uniquely mottled coat all testifying to the fact. A long tail with the graceful curve of 21 banana terminated his anatomy. lla- looked strangely grotesque in the dim light of this early summer morning as he ambled d0Wr1 2111 Page Tzrcnty-T'u'o alley-way. Occasionally he stopped and sniffed with the air of a con- noisseur onre of the many garbage cans that lined this alley. Jerry was not hungry for he had already dined farther back. He would sleep, he decided, and forthwith curled up in a patch of light from the rising sun. As the sun rose Jerry's spirits rose too, and suddenly with an un- controllable yelp of delight he jumped in the air, chased his tail, and manifested other puppyish traits. Tiring of this after some fifteen minutes he chased a mangy cat who stood for his right so vigorously that Jerry retreated, considering discretion the better part of valour! This only slightly dampened his ardour. His bub- bling spirits could not be contained, with the result that he started off at a breakneck speed. In the course of his wild career he became entangled in an old woman's skirts, knocked over a tomato bas- ket, and did other damage also. Triumphantly he emerged with a tomato draped artistically over one eye. He slowed up to remove this impediment but upon glancing over his shoulder he resumed his hurried way - speedily. It apparently frightened him for he ran for eight blocks hitting the high spots only. Other smaller adventures follow- ed. For instance his too inquisitive nose became caught in the but- cher's door. He was extracted from here, yelping loudly, by the irate butcher, who administered a THE OAKWOOD ORACLE kick so strongly that Jerry turned several somersaults, landing on his tail on an ice wagon. Jerry squeal- ed. It was too painful, and for a moment Jerry's delight in life seemed to have departed, but rub- bing his nose and looking sorrow- fully at his sore tail, he escaped from the wagon and went in search of lunch. A kind-hearted cook in a cheap restaurant provided this meal. As the sun waxed hotter and hot- ter, Jerry waxed limper and limper. Finally he jumped into a horse trough, giving himself and every- one else a refreshing UD shower bath. Jerry prowled around for some time, then fell asleep in the cool shade of a stable. Jerry rose from this nap and went in search of a meal. This evening's repast was gleaned from the same source as his morning one. All evening Jerry searched for a night's resting place, inci- dentally meeting with a few more adventures. The rising moon found him comfortably established in an old shed, at peace with the world and all mankind, as is the way with all good puppies. E. M. C., SB. 7a. m.

That penetrated into the middle enemy, and, having been received fastest and bravest of the by the enemy, he made a fierce attack on our men. Our men, being unacquaint- ed with the tactics of the enemy, threw themselves down to the ground and reached for the legs of the scout of the enemy who was sent in advance. lt was with the greatest difficulty that three of our men brought down the enemy. Nevertheless that one held the mis- sile, and meanwhile the troops halted in line, facing each other. The leader of the enemy having given orders, and the same missile of which mention has been made above having been thrown back, and given to one of the enemy, a man of incredible size of body, he threw himself into the breach in our men which had been made by repeated attacks of the enemy, so that he could pass. However, one of our men broke out and captured that enemy. Another attack like to the first then took place, in which it had to be resisted bravely by our men. The enemy then hurl- ed the missile at our men. Then our men repeated the movements of the enemy, who were very hard pressed. This continued for about one hour. CThe score was 8-4, against Caesar's men, with ten minutes to gob. For the sake of a touchdown - to - be - made, Caesar adopted a new plan, and made a sudden attack into the middle enemy. A few were killed and many inju1'ed, but our men had not made much advance. Having been repulsed, being disappointed in this hope, Caesar became more skilled in the management of his troops. For what reasons, he attempted an attack on the left flank. Caesa1', himself, and two others rushed out to the wing, and when one was about to be attacked by the enemy, he would hurl it behind him to an ally who was to carry it forward, finally the touchdown was made. This having been accomplished, and the ganie having been won, our men raised a shout in a loud voice. QSO, you see, that is the way Oakwood wins its championshipsb. S.

The short service of worship, and the music of both piano and victrola, help us to get a good start on the day's work. At the beginning of the term. Mr. Dunkley, Mr. Blathwayt, and Mr. Horning each gave a short talk. They showed the pupils, es- pecially the boys, the advantage to to them of becoming interested in some of the various forms of athletics at Oakwood. It was pointed out to the boys that they would enjoy their work at school far more if they took an interest in the cadets, rugby and soccer. In Canadian Authors Week we had the pleasure of hearing Mrs. Livesay, who gave us some readings of one of our noted Cana- dian authors, Margery Pickthali. At the close of her talk she inter- ested us very much by reciting one of her own poems. The pupils greatly appreciated Mrs. Livesay's visit and talk, and we hope that we may have the pleasure of seeing her again. QV'-I A 1 7' R. . Y.. On November the twenty-eighth, the pupils were delighted to have our friend of last year, Mr. Irving, come to us. He gave us a sketch of King Henry the Fifth, depicting the King's soliloquy at Harflew very realistically, as indeed he does all the scenes he portrays. Mr. Irving then passed on to Julius Caesar. He first told us the story and then, by his clever dramatiza- tion of the scene between Brutus and Cassius, he made the famed Julius seem very real to us. Mr. Irving's talk was concluded bv Mark Antony's speech at Caesarls funeral, and I'm sure we all felt like mobbing that honourable man Brutus. We, the pupils, tender our thanks to you, Mr. Ir- ving, and we hope to hear you again soon. ' Thanks is due to our Principal also, for making our Assembly Hall mornings, so very interest- ing. May they long continue! Commencement Exercises This year, November the fif- teenth was chosen as the date ol' our annual Commencement exer- cises. The program opened with two selections on the piano by Jane Page Twenty-Sc ve a THE OAKWOOD ORACLE Blackford. This was followed by the presentation of diplomas to the fifth form pupils by Mr. M. A. Brillinger, assisted by Mr. Kirby and Mr. Hanna. The talk of the afternoon was delivered by Professor W. R. Tay- lor, whose speech was short tas requestedi but very interesting and helpful. He impressed upon us the necessity of deciding which course we wish to take at the Uni- versity, and told us to be sure we were taking those subjects which would fit us for our work at Col- lege. Professor Taylor mentioned some of the disasters which have taken place, by neglecting to do this, or by leaving it until the last minute. Then the presentation of the graduating diplomas was begun by Trustee Hilton, assisted by Mr. Robb and Mr. Jockson and continu- ed by Trustee J. Glass, assisted by Mr. Jewett and Mr. Dunkley. Scholarship medals, oratorical medals, and cups were then pre- sented to those who have so well upheld our traditions. An excellent valedictory was de- livered by J. D. Arnup. This was followed by two very fine selec- tions from the Glee Club, conduct- ed by Miss J. E. Maitland. The Commencement Exercises ended with the presentation of E. H. Brigden's picture Hayfield by the graduating class of 1927-28. The Staff refreshed the fifths. the graduates, and the parents ot' the School. Shenstone officiating at the piano, furnished music for those who wished to dance. The Oakwood Girls' Glee Club The Oakwood Girls' Glee Club has become a thriving institution in the school, under the competent direction of Miss J. Maitland, M. A., who is devoting many hours after school to it. ln September, the girls, who wished to join had Pngw TlI'I'llfjl'Efg1lf their voices tested by Miss Mait- land, and about sixty girls are now members. At the-first meeting of the Glee Club the officers were elected, and then the girls began practicing for an hour after school regularly, every Monday and Thursday. Much enthusiasm and earnestness were evident and good progress was made in voice training and the learning of three-part songs. Invited to sing at the Commence- ment Exercises, the members showed admirable devotion to the Club by assembling at half-past eight several mornings for rehear- sals. Two songs were learned on short notice and sung with a fine expression of feeling. Many weak- nesses might be criticized, but no doubt training will overcome them. The singers' attentive following of every motion of Miss Maitland's conducting, and their sweetness of tone were remarked on. The favor- ite Woodland Lullaby by J. Brahms, and How Canl Leave Thee , a harmonious old German song, were again app1'eciated by all the members of the school in the Assembly Hall, the following week. Now the Girls' Glee Club is attempting more pretentious choruses to be delivered in Convo- cation Hall during the Easter vaca- tion tothe O.S.S.T.F. A Weiner Roast and Hallowe'en Party, excellently organized by the executive, were enjoyed by the Club. A New Year's party is an- ticipated. The Club cordially invites all girls who still desire to join with it to come to any of the regular meetings. The .Iunior Literary Society On Oct.. 23, a meeting of the .Iunior Literary representatives was held in the form room of the Honorary President, Mr. Forman. The following officers were elect- ed: President, Audrey Howard. ZA: Vice-President, Don Travis, 1l+': Secretary, Ramsay, LZCQ Treas- urer, Miss Johnston 1A. The Lower School seemed fairly enthusiastic at the first program in the Assembly Hall. Nine people offered us their services. lf noise is any criterion one would say that the School was ex- ceedingly interested. It proved conclusively that the Upper Forms are not responsible for the uproar THE OAKWOOD ORACLE which usually attends a Lit meeting. We began the program by sing'- ing the Oakwood song in which all joined lustily. Many interesting' presentations followed.

OAKWOOD GIRIIS CLUB The t lub spirit speaks: Let us think a minute-it may be hard for some but let's try. What is the Girls Club? ltfs purpose will tell us a lot-listen a minute-'l'hc Purpose of the t lub is to create, maintain and extend, throughout the school, high standards of personal conduct. ac- ademic honour, and social relation- ships, and, by so cloine, to promote growth in Vhristian character, and to prepare for future Christian sf-i'vir-1-. llc-acl it again and yet again until it means something to llflffl' Tlffrlff-Tivo you- personal conduct, read it again- academic honour, once more- social relationship. What does it all mean 'F Think about it some more. Very few girls know that when they become a member of the Girl's Club they also become a member of the Y.W.C.A., and are entitled to wear a Y pin and crest and also to go to Beans But what, some of you may ask, is Beans? It is a meeting at the Y.W.C.A. on McGill St., every three weeks, where about ten or fifteen girls from each school may go. Listen a minute-here it is- Swim or gym work-meeting old friend - making new - a jolly isn't it fun eating with a lot of girls sort of supper-then away from the thoughts of food to a land of something new for us to think about. Mayhaps after a campy sing-song, a night of world friendship, of good sportsmanship. mayliaps a stunt night or someone may come to enlighten us on some profoundly interesting subject that we have wanted to know about so much-there is a Vesper Service-you can't talk about a Vesper Service, you have to feel it and see it. All this and more is Beans, girls. if you want to go, see Dot Hewitt. Senior Beans sec't., or Margaret Hill, Junior Beans sec't. I seem to be getting away from the idea of talking about what the Girls' Club has been doing in the school itself. They got away to an early start in their year's work, by having their opening meeting the first week of school in the form of a Big and Little Sister Party. A new idea was tried out in the man- ner of giving out big and little sis- ters, which p1'oved very successful. The third, fourth and fifth form- ers came in one front door of the Assembly Hall, the first formers in the other, one at a time from each door. They were introduced as they came in by members of the cabinet and second formers and then taken up to the front of the hall to join in a sing-song which was being led by Jean Evans. a past president of the Club. This system of getting big sisters did away with all trouble of making lists and of sisters not finding each other which had been present other years. I might add that by soine bit of luck there were just exactly the same number of Seniors as first formers, the which had been one of the chief possible flaws in the experiment. Thev had get acquainted games and livelv in- terform relays followed by refresh- ments. The meeting closed by Grace Cowan leading the girls in singing the Oakwood song. After their first meeting. to which all the girls in the school had been invited, they thought that it would be a good time to have their membership drive and over three hundred and twenty-five joined up. Thev planned a hike for October but when the day arrived it dawn- ed, not fair and clear as the weather man had been ordered to make it, but cloudy with show- THE OAKWOOD ORACLE ers in some localitiesjl fmostly oursj. The cabinet believing in the words rain before seven, clear befo1'e eleven and also knowing the food had been ordered, decided to go ahead with it and it did fthe rain I mean, it stopped? so in rub- ber boots and slickers, about a hun- dred and twenty-five set out from the end of the Yonge car line, about two-thirty, towards A 1' m o u r Heights. Food enough for two hundred and fifty had been order- ed, so no one went home hungry. They had baseball games before supper, and after, talk fests, songs, stories and a Vesper Service around a huge camp-fi1'e-then home. Despite the weather they had one of the best hikes ever, as the girls who did come out on such a day were ones who really liked hiking. By this time they had their ln- terest Groups started, fourteen dif- ferent ones in all. Towards the middle of November they had a candy sale, clearing about thirty dollars to help with Christmas So- cial Service. The November meeting had to be postponed several times but was finally held on Tuesday, November 27th. Dr. Marion Hilliard having recently been in England and dif- ferent countries of Europe spoke to them on World Friendship. Marjory Beer of Victoria College led the girls in a sing-song of songs of different countries. Then some of the girls put on a tableau. Dres- sed in costumes of different na- tionalities with a little Canadian girl in middie and skirt, at the front holding a blue triangle, they formed a triangle and sang the Y. W.C.A., song. Then Kay Maybee finished our meeting by reading the poem: In Christ there is no East nor West, Ili Him no South nor North. But one great Fellowship of Love. Throughout the whole wide earth.

In former years with all the various other activities it was found difficult to arrange games. and the short season made our ef- forts hardly worth while. It seems rather too bad that we cannot substitute a few hockey games. Hczslfwtball The probable result of our com- ing basketball campaigns is still an unknown quantity. Players have been devoting much of their time to practice, but as yet the teams which will represent the dark blue, light blue and gold have not been chosen. May we take this opportunity of wishing the girls every success in their games this winter. Szrzpzniing Although this branch of our sporting activities has not flour- ished as strongly perhaps as oth- ers, great hopes are held out for its success this year. We have some mighty fine swimmers in the school, and since the majority of it .'6 alll. . In l X -, N,Xvvvx.1 these are in the lower forms, pros- pects are bright for several years to come. Mr. Hunt, the candy and ice cream man, has donated a cup for annual competition in the high school relay swim, and this year the Oakwood team promises to make a good bid for the event and bring that cup up where it belongs. Thr MC!.QI1Ill l'fIfIf' On the afternoon of November the third, many members of the Girls' Athletic Association assem- bled in the artistically decorated auditorium for the annual Hallo- we'en Masquerade. The party was formally opened by the grand march, during which the judges, Mrs. Kirby, Miss Hanna and Miss Quail selected the prize-winning costumes. Doris Wood, represent- ing Satan, was awarded first place, and Dorothy Gawsey, in an attractive Russian costume, car- ried off second place honors. Dur- ing the remainder of the afternoon the dance numbers were interrup- ted while Dot Hewitt and Mary Meen put on a very clever skit, en- titled Engaging Bermaline, and Rose Levi entertained us with a solo dance. Eleanor Thompson had the lucky birthday and won the prize for that dance. The after- noon closed after refreshments had been served in the household science room.

King With a Senior team doomed to defeat, and a Junior team of un- known calibre, the rugby season presented a none-too-pleasing as- pect. The Seniors upheld our traditions, by passing out in the heat of a battle with old Leap Year Jinks. But, whoopee! what a younger set. Out of a squad well up in the fifties, Mr. Horning pick- ed an aggregation of stars euual to any this illustrious college has produced. November 1-lth., which, incidental- ly, was a Wednesday. The Seniors landed a sock on old L. Y. Jinks' jaw by Winning the first game of the season. Fa1'ah S.: Co., took the Harbordites into camp to the tune of 15 to Med- lock, who learned how to plunge helping his mother shop at Lob- law's on Saturday nights, and Stainton, who always keeps in trim by making spi1'ited dashes for the door when the bell rings for lunch, scintillated. The daily news- papers remarked that Oakwood does not look as powerful as the team that won the senior cham- pionship last sesaon, lacking its great backfield, although the line is as strong as ever. But, between you and me and the gate-post, a certain gentleman named James Greig would have made a differ- ence on that line. The Juniors stepped into the Hai-bord representatives and des- pite the fine tackling of M. Cohen of the visitors, 'tArtful Arthur Messinger directed an assault which resulted in a 16 to 5 win for our lads. Three new planets swam into our ken in the form of Much- Pagc Thirty-Nine THE OAKWOOD ORACLE er MacPherson, a diminutive Jinnnp Greig, Harold Arnup of the flying' feet and fists, and Bruce Fenner, the find of the season. One rabid rugby fan asks can any good thing come out of soccer? and, boy, what an answer! On Oct. 12th, the St. Clair school, as they call us in the pap- ers, scored a double win over Connnerce. The seniors' experience proved the deciding factor against an inexperienced Commerce team. llozak, the hefty, scored a try and Stainton, in fine form, kiekecl eight points. The game ended with Oakwood on the heavy end of a 1:3 to 5 score. Mr. Dunkley was genuinely worried as it looked as though the lads were going' to win the championship and then what would happen to that celebrated Jinx? The Junior game was a runaway for Oakwood, the rangy Fenner leading the stampede with his long JUNIOR S O dashes in the open field. All the Oakwood backs took a turn at long runs after breaking' through the Commerce line or around the ends. The score was 24 to 1. This was Bloor's year in Senior Rugby and our old friends below the tracks produced a team which need not take a back seat in any rugby realm. This is all leading up to the declaration of Jimmy Loftus, well known sports writer, that this year's city champions are not in the same class as the Gil- more, Greig, Dargayel, Reid Com- bination of last year. Well that's some consolation! At quarter time Oakwood was leading 1 to tl, and by the half-way period it had de- veloped into a neck-and-neck race, each with five points. Bloor added two points in the third and two touches in the last when the huge crowd packed the field and dark- ness hid the ball. C ER TEA M ltack llow: l . W. Illzithwayt, IVI. Miller, R.

On Tuesday, Western Tech. succum- bed 39 to 0, while the Oakwood stars played the funeral march and the water-boy ran wild with the pail. Mr. Dunkley had it all planned that Humberside was to fall but neglected to tell them. The rascallv ruffians eradicated us 10 to 7 in a bruising battle and our chan- ces went out the window. All this despite the brilliant tackling of Little Bruce MacLean and the plunging of Big Wally Della- bough. The mighty midgets under the leadership of Art Messinger flashed around the ends, tore through the middle and scampered down the broken field as though they enjoyed it. This marvellous Humberside Collegiate detests de- feat so Messy didn't bear down too hard. He let them off with a 14-7 beating. Harbord was to vanquish Hum- berside while Oakwood was defeat- inf: Parkdale, thus tying up second place. We carved out a 4 to 0 vic- tory, but Harbord fell down. So passed the Seniors! The Parkdale youngsters were white-washed by the Fenner-Ar- nup-Messinger clan 11 to 0. Shad- es of Teddy Reeves, but how that lanky lad McLean leans on that line! Our Juniors seventh consecutive win was from N. Toronto in the semi-finals. Bloor and Malvern furnished a curtain-raiser for this important tilt. The losers te1'med it a beastly day but we did not mind it so much. Mr. Horning's proteges ripped out a 22 to 1 vic- tory, and the result was never in doubt. As Oakwood and A. W.

The eastern goal- ie saved and the playing surged back to centre. Riverdale got down but Brodie starred. He made sev- eral fine saves, despite the greasy ball. During the remainder of the half, Oakwood held its own. In the second half Oakwood got the slight wind and pushed back their opponents. There was a fierce and muddy struggle. A Riverdale fellow emerged from the morass and supported by the rest of his team rushed up the field. Brodie and a crooked shot saved for Oakwood. Upon the kick the Oakwoodites tore down the field. There was a flash of red. Dickson had scored a freak goal. The ball was centred and play was evenly matched till Oakwood gradually got within striking distance. Irwin Bailey struck two goals for us. The re- mainder of the game was finished mostly in Riverdale territory. The team worked together ex- cellently owing to lVIr.

The two teams playing were those of Waddel and Plrliiitiiicls. Waddel's team had gone through the season without a de- feat, while Edmunds team had been beaten once by Waddelk Xtarriors by the score of 2-1. The scoring began in the first quarter when Howes grabbed a loose ball behind Edmunds' line and ran fifty yards for a touch- down. In the next quarter Ed- munds' team eyened up the score when Day galloped around the end for a touchdown. Then Waddel's opposing musketeers bombarded the enemy's citadel for an addi- tional fire points. This was all the scoring in the first half, making' the score 10-5. The last half of the game was a walk away, or, more correctly speaking, a runaway for Waddel 62 Co. They demonstrated quite han- dily the superiority of concentrat- ed effort over the limited powers of Edmunds Limited. The final score was 22-5 with Waddel and his team holding the double digits. For the winners Waddel, Hazel- wood and Howes, played a flashy game. These generals inspired their men to mighty efforts and as a result the whole team dis- played stellar rugby. The losers played very well but lacked the punch that is so necessary in a winning aggregation.
