THE ASHBURIAN 19 Early Saturday morning, we were off to NlcGill University. First we spent some time in the Library, where we admired the wonder- ful old volumes and manuscripts. Then we adjourned to the Redpath Museum to obtain an impression of thc variety of fossils, rocks and animals, with some attempt at learning something of the background of the history of the earth we live on. The rest of the morning was spent in the Natural Sciences Building making a tour of the Geology and Nlineralurgy Departments, led by Professor Clarke, Head of the Department of Geology, and Prof. Xlaclfwen, Head of the Department of Metallurgy. XYe also met our old friend Dr. XY. H. Hatcher, the Director of the Building. For lunch we were invited to the LaSalle Hotel bv Xlr.

THE .-1SHBL'Rl.-IN 21 THE BERMUDA TRIP Once again, this liaster, Xlr. jobling arranged and conducted a holiday trip to Bermuda. Ac- companying him were Stan Bar- kun, Dave lflam, .lohn Heeney, Bob Xloore and Tonv Sugden. He had, thanks to iis 'former as- sociations there, been able to secure temporary possession of Port's Island, a small island off Hamilton Sound. The boys niet with good weather, and enjoyed themselves im- mensely in swimming and other aquatic sports. They made a tour of the island's places of interest, and then, to be sure not to miss anything, rented bicycles to tour the island by themselves. There were always many activities going on in connection with the islands annual College XVeekl'. Several soccer and rugger matches featuring teams from Harvard, Dartmouth and Wiestern Canada were attended. One of the highlights of the trip was a day's excursion to the Town of St. George, organized exclusively for the college groups visiting Bermuda.

Sincere thanks must be accorded to Hr. jobling for making this trip so successful, and we all hope that his future trips will be as enjoyable as this one has been.
