AURORA BOREALIS 9 Athletic Society J Who misses or wins the prize Go lose or conquer as you can But if you fall or if you rise Be still, pray God, a gentleman. First Term Second Term Hon. Pres. Mr. McKerlie Mr. McKerlie President G. Hibbs C. Greiner Vice-Pres. A. Elgaaen M. Gaetz Secretary M. Aboussafy B. MacLean N EARLY every favorite sport was in vogue at the College this year. Skating, hockey, tennis, baseball and basket¬ ball were indulged in during their respective seasons. Skating was a favorite pastime during the winter months and every Friday evening, and oftener, those students who could skate enjoyed themselves on the college rink. The girls did not organize a hockey team this year, although they did, on occasion, pursue the elusive puck and attempt to damage one another’s shins. There was plenty of good material in the boys’ team and some very close and interesting games were played with outsiders. It is of in¬ terest to note that the gang from McDougal Hall took the boys from the main building into camp to the time of 6-2. At the time of going to press tennis is a very popular game. The two courts are much in demand and some of the players are far from being beginners. We hope to see some very good games before the examinations interrupt our sports. There is promise of a good baseball team this year. Almost all of the boys can catch well. The one game played with an outside troop so far, was with the Ukrainian In¬ stitute, the crew that always managed to get the extra score in hockey; and the victory to our boys of 11-1 was thoroughly enjoyed. The boys from McDougal Hall again showed their superiority when they inflicted a defeat on the tribe from the main building. The girls are organizing for indoor baseball. They are also drawing up schedules for inter-class basketball games that will be played on the College basketball court. A few games between the academic and commercial girls were played last fall, and the academic students are hoping to revenge the defeats they then suffered. Most of the boys’ basketball is played at the Y.M.C.A. and judging from the improvement of the players our con¬ clusion is that the “Y” is a good place to learn. The students thank the College Board for the provisions that have been made for sports.

AURORA BOREALIS 11 “The Aurora Borealis” F IRST of all, it is not a newspaper, for it contains neither divorce news or political flumgummery. Then it is not a serious review for it is funny in parts, and on the other hand it is not a comic paper for it is a serious matter, indeed. If you like it, show your appreciation by sending us a sub¬ scription. (You will find the address on the front.) If you don’t like it—a contingency so unlikely as to be absolutely absurd, accept our apologies, sympathy, and regrets, but don’t expect your money back. Our motto is “What we have we hold”. But why explain our paper? It is like modern poetry—it admits no explanation. You will agree with us (if you have read as far as this), if you have not, your agreement will be doubly sincere, that we have written enough, and if we have said nothing, re¬ member that all we were asked to do was to fill a page, and the quicker the better. In order that you may decide whether we have succeeded or not, we will leave a space during which you may arrive at a decison. ( . ) Ladies and Gentlemen—The Aurora Borealis Thanks You!
