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! Blair McLean: Where are you running? Ed. Hancock: To stop a fight. Blair: Who’s fighting? Ed.: Oh, just me and another kid. ■—-- - ■— -- ---- - + I j FIRST UNIT of ALBERTA COLLEGE Constructed by 1 !

12 AURORA BOREALIS Literary Society F OLLOWING the tradition of the College, a Literary Society was formed at the opening of the Fall term. The officers were: First Term Second Term Hon. Pres. .Miss Coone Miss Coone President Margaret Gaetz Alfie Elgaaen Vice-Pres. Edward Hancock Lester Saunders Secretary Alison Yeats Velma Lawrence A meeting was held every two weeks on Friday eve¬ ning. Varied programmes were given and on one occasion Miss Burkholder gave a very interesting lecture on “The Birthplace of Edmonton”. We were entertained by Mc- Dougal Young People at a social evening held in the church. On October 31st a very jolly Hallowe’en party in the form of a masquerade was given by the Literary Society in the basement of McDougal Church. Prizes were presented for the best costumes. Dr. and Mrs. McCall, Mrs. Smith and Mr. Hyndman acted as judges. A new system was introduced this year for supplying the various programmes, that of making the different aca¬ demic grades, and the Commercial students responsible for the meetings. Several skating parties were held on the College rink during the winter months. Miss Montgomery, of the Extension Department, of the University, recently gave us an excellent talk on the value of good reading. Before closing for the season we expect to have a de¬ bate and treasure hunt. FOR QUALITY MEATS Fresh Fish and Poultry are obtainable at all our Sanitary Meat Markets as listed below: P. BURNS CO.
