The Spirit of Mount Tolmie refuses to die. Although the blades have worn out beyond repair and although new blades are not procurable under present conditions, the Spirit is still to be seen circumnavigating the field towing five Cherubim for young Spiritsj in the shape of handleless lawn mowers. It was truly pleasant to see John Boak and John Young on Speech Day, both safely home for the time being from service overf seas. We are grateful to Richard Carle for his assistance with knot' tying just before inspection day. A room insulated against gas has been provided and furnished in the Harvey House.
