22 CANAL CURRENTS “Get out!” I was at my wits end when suddenly a bright thought struck me. When I was in the north woods of Scotland a few years before, I met a hermit who was a very learned man. As I was in need of a vacation I made arrangements to go to him for a few days. On arriving in Tain I went to the rooming house to pre- pare for my trip to the Hermit’s in the morning. The next morning, bright and early, I set out on a fifteen kilo hike to the Hermit’s. I arrived at noon after an uneventful morning. The Hermit was very pleased to see me and at once took me to my room. A few minutes of cleaning up made a new man of me. I decided to get my business over with so I told him the whole story exactly as it happened. He thought a moment, then spoke, ‘T am an old man who never intends to return to civilization. It will never matter to me, so I’ll read the note to you after supper tonight.” The afternoon passed away very slowly for me. First I tried to pass away time reading, but found that uninteresting, so I went fishing. About four-thirty he called me to supper. I went to the house, washed, and went out to the fire. We cooked over an open fire and sat around it to eat. The meal was delicious. After it was over we took our pipes to smoke. I handed the note to the Hermit. He took plenty of time to get settled but at length slowly unfolded the note, and, just as he was about to read it, it fell into the fire and was burned. Richard Jordan, ’35. The Junior Class greatly appreciates the gen- erous patronage of the Advertisers who have helped to make this issue of “Canal Currents” a success.

GIRLS’ ATHLETICS The girls’ athletic season this year was not entirely a success. Perhaps there were many reasons for this. The main one might be considered lack of enthusiasm. However, we hope that next year, with the new gymnasium and show- ers, that a large number of girls will report for the various sports activities. Not enough girls reported for the field-hockey to form a team.
