12 THE ABHIS Another person closely associated with Care- free Charlie is the space taker who sits in class Monday and Tuesday and recalls the events of the precious week-end and on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday dreams of the week-end to come. He is the guy who thinks the only book worth carrying is the little black one. Spacetaker Suzie never bothers to say, I don't knowf, She just shrugs her shoulders and heaves a heavy sigh. Don't be misled into the belief that all students belong in one of these two classes. Oh no, we also have the intellec- tual type. One such person is the faker who sits with an intelligent gaze on his face and when asked a question, frowns until his forehead looks like a newly plowed Held, scratches his head, wildly grasps a pencil, and begins to tap out a private code, wriggles in his seat as though he were reclining on his pia mater, and then with everyone on the edge of his seat, Frankie Faker' answers slowly and almost inaudibly, I don't know. Still another would-be intellectual is the strong masterful type who can never say enough. All during the class his hand is extended in the air until you feel like hanging a coat on it. When he does get his chance he bounces up and speels olf until he becomes unwound. Although you would never catch him saying I don't know, everyone might be better oif if he did. These are only a few of our future rcitizens. Let's be thankful that there are some serious-minded students willing to learn all they can, that it may serve as a foundation when they take over the reins of government. Life would, however, be monotonous if we did not have a few I don't knows. ' GERTRUDE SPILLANB, '52 A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S CRUISE It was July second and Dominion Day in Can- ada, when my mother and father and I were trav- eling into Montreal, Canada. We hoped we would lind lodging for the night. As we were driving over the majestic Jacques Cartier Bridge, a gateway to Montreal, my father sighted the docks and ware- houses on the beautiful St. Lawrence River. He thought we might enjoy a cruise to Quebec that night rather than the drive to Quebec the next day. We supposed that there wouldn't be much chance of getting reservations for the cruise, as it was nearly five o'clock and on a long holiday week- end. But, when we reached the ticket office of the Canada Steamship Lines, to our great surprise we got the reservations. The boat was to sail at six o'clock. That gave us an hour to look at the sights of Montreal. At Mc- Gill University we saw the students playing cricket. We saw the old market district and the new mod- ern city. The horse-drawn victorias were an un- usual sight. At six o'clock we came back to the boat, the Tadoussac. It was a large boat about four hun- dred feet long, with four decks. Below the bottom deck were the engine room and a garage-like room for the freight and the many automobiles. The bot- tom deck, above the engine room, was called the C deck. This deck consisted chiefly of staterooms and small shops. The next deck up, or B deck, as it was called, held only staterooms and other minor rooms. The A deck, which had a few staterooms, was used chiefly for recreation. There was a large modern hall used for dancing, movies, plays and games. This hall was next to a bar and luncheon room. All decks had large and spacious ramps or outdoor decks on which the passengers could enjoy evening air. The three hundred staterooms were modern, neat and compact. Our reservations included only the stateroom and recreation. Food and automobile storage were extra. Our food was delicious. We ate with two very interesting men. One lived in Murray Bay, P. Q. He was a stockholder in the Canada Steam- ship Lines and proved very interesting in telling us of the company. The other was a man originally from Belgium and now living in Montreal. He told us much about the French Canadians, their customs, and their way of living. After dinner we toured most of the boat. At eight o'clock we went to a real dance in the hall on the deck. It seemed unbelievable to me. An ordinary dance with a real orchestra and a French choral group from Montreal-on a boat! It was exciting, entertaining, and a lot of fun. I really enjoyed watching those little French people dance. One of the men we were with in the hall was a teacher of chemistry and English in a Montreal high school. We learned that there are very few American cigarettes in Canada and that those are very expensive. The Canadians smoke their own cigarettes. In the course of the evening there were midget horse races and various other games. After the dance I went outside on the ramp and enjoyed the cool night air. The moon was full and shone brightly down through the silhouette of the trees and across the beautiful St. Lawrence. The boat made two stops during the night. Even in the middle of the night the boat was bustling with activity. One was at Sorel and the other was at Trois Rivieres. It was two o'clock when I climbed into my bed after that busy evening. The boat had reached Quebec. When I awoke on Sunday morning there were two masses for those wishing to attend. Breakfast was then served. It was eight o'clock when we left the wonderful Tadoussac at Quebec. BRUCE SANDERSON, '52
