That night the temperature rose and it started to grizzle. And old time sport was slay riding, they would hich old Dopin to the slay and off they would go. For others it leads a most horable winter of colds, alot of sickness, and rumitisum. When the snow is falling I can imagin many difren desins the snow flakes are. I have heard it said that now two snow flake are alike. Theare are many outdoor sport for the winter. One that many of us up home engoy is the harf mile slide. People traveling in the state ran out of gas, they would half to wait until next day until they could go and further. The snow down are necks didn't feel very hot! Some- thing terble happened. We went through the pier where we saw lobsters, crabs, shrimp, sword fish and many others. The boy was kidnapped and then later found lying in the snow, strip from all his close. This notice was posted on the attendance oftice door: This attendance ollice will be closed until Monday, jan. 31st, at which time all exrurer for absence during exami- nation days will be due, in addition to regular excuses for ordinary absence. By crossing out certain letters in words, an unknown student caused the notice to read as follows: This attend- ance office will be closed until Monday, jan. 1st, at which time all excuses for sence during examination days will be due, in addition to regular uses for ordinary sence. THE PLAY'S THE THING! lContinued from page 141 An important Metro executive said to Roy, about the con- test, That money was in and out of your pockets more times than I can tell you! When asked about future plans, Roy said he has no inclinations to become an author. He intends to take up the study of medicine at Duke Uni- versity.

UPON Los1No MY TRACTION Very cautiously and stiff-leggedly picking my way down the hill covered with treacherous ice ftreacher- ous because it lets you downj, I condemn, wickedly, all the northland powers that invented the process of freezing water. One leg is trying its darndest to desert, but, just in time, it decides that its side has a chance of winning this battle. Thousands of icy spears jab fero- ciously at my feet, which are armored only with rubber. I pick up warily one pedal extremity, and tenderly place it on a glass-like substance. Like the winged foot of Mercury, mine skims gracefully UQ over the aforesaid slippery surface. The other lags behind, because that peaceful soul Qsolej does not desire to accompany the former pugnacious warrior. Like a building which col- lapses after fire has eaten into its very heart, I fall, com- pletely subdued, stretching my length along the cold, cold, ground. Is that Venus I see? Ah, no! Nothing here could be so beautiful as she. Those conical shapes look like horns- and what's that? As I live and breathe, it's a curly tail! Ouch! That evil-looking pitchfolk is pricking me! Woe! Alas! What have I done to deserve all this? Like a shooting star, a flame from the huge boniire darts across the darkness. But it was daylight the last I knew. What has happened to me? Is that a halo upon my head? or merely a bump? My head is swimming and swirling like a top. One of my lights has gone out. Cyclops-like I glare frantically through my one optic. Do I have any arms and legs? Eureka! Here they are! But I can hardly feel them. What's come over me? I'm sink- ing! There's a river roaring past my ear. Sweet music like that of dozens of angels playing their harps drifts serenely to the other ear. All my limbs are in contrast. Am I in heaven? or six feet under, pushing up icicles? A derrick has fastened its claws between my ribs. It's lifting me, I'm soaring high above the clouds. Ugh! Who threw that water in my face? H. B. '38, Ir HAPPENS HERE!

ALUMNI fConlinued from page 182 billboards down there. Let's find out what they have to tell the world. Here we are-whoa, Jennie! Let me see-this one is double. First- Lawrence K. Barber received his degree, last june at Worcester Poly- technic Institute, from the chemistry department. He was manager of the track team, feature editor of the Peddler, the college annual, and president of the Theta Chi fra- ternity. He now has a position as a junior engineer with the A. C. Lawrence Leather Company of Boston. Robert Dunklee, Jr., is a sophomore in the mechani- cal engineering department at Worcester Tech. He won first honors for the second semester of last year and was exempt from the final examination in chemistry. He is a member of the cross-country team, and of the Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity. WELL, Jennie, that's that. Let's-oh, look! See that big bright-colored sign? That sure does attract at- tention, doesn't it. There, that's close enough, I can read it easily from here: Anita Dunlevy, B. H. S. '35, who is a junior at Smith College, is one of the thirty-five students who have the highest scholastic standing in the college. Well, now, Jennie, that record should attract attention- the more, the better! There are two more signs along the road. Let's read them as we go along. Here's one: Paul Burnham, a fresh- man at Colby College, was voted by the Council on Athletics to receive the 1941 class numerals in freshman football for the 1937 season. Here's the other billboard-this is a big one:- Leslie Burton, B. H. S. '35, now a junior at Tufts College, is holder of one of the six full tuition scholarships offered to students in New England. Leslie has been successful in extra-curricular as well as scholastic activities. He is a member of the track team, of the college orchestra, and is managing editor of the Tufts Weekly, He is also a member of Delta Tau Delta fraternity. It's getting late, and we've learned a lot. Guess we'd better start for home, Jennie. See that hill up ahead? Bet you can't make it in high! EXCHANGE fC0r1tinued from page 172 about roaming through your magazine. Your whole edi- tion presents many new and clever ideas. We just have to read such excellent stories as Happiness Ahead and Pretty Boy. Your poetry is certainly worthy of claiming a whole page, instead of being used as a filler, We liked Weeping Willow. The few sketches you used are fine, but it would improve the magazine so much if you would use many more of them to illustrate the literary sections and also poems. For those of us who understand different languages, Each in His Own Tongue is certainly ap- preciated-a very novel idea! We thoroughly enjoy this edition of The Record, and we wish you luck with fu- ture publications. THE MASK, Royal Technical College, Glasgow, Scot- land, December, 1937. Welcome to one of our choicest books! We find very pleasing literary material behind the Mask, Although your departments are fairly well arranged, you would improve your magazine, if, according to our contest rules, all your advertisements were placed in the bark of the book. We find that your ads have cluttered your pages so that our attention is not attracted to the literary material, as it should be. The most interesting article to us is Progress in which the author has related his honest hopes of international peace, and we, the students of America, share in his wish. Colour Film is a well written article describing all the intricate divisions in the progress of the cinema, just as that of our own Hollywood. How we envy you boys and girls who have the opportunity to participate in fencing as a sport! Here in America it is a sport seldom enlisted in high schools. Oh, yes! We mustn't forget to mention that excellent essay Infectious Interlude. It certainly deserves the most excellent com- ment, for Sammy has shown unusual talent in writing. We are ever enthusiastic about receiving your magazines, and we hope to see the next issue soon. in at sh It is DRURY ACADEME, North Adams, Mass., Nov., 1957. ' Q You have used a very effective frontispiece to precede an interesting magazine. However, we find it to be the only illustration in the book. Why not use more linoleum block prints? They not only make an artistic addition, but they also break up the monotony of the pages. The poem The First Snow is worthy of comment for its descriptive portrayal of the season. We suggest that you follow the contest rules and place your literary department before the editorials. Le Francais is an excellent ex- ample of French, we find, after seeking the aid of dic- tionaries. fShh! Don't breathe this to French teachers!j As we read the poems of the poetry page, we pick Change and Longing as our favorites for they seem to illustrate the type of poetry we like. Umm! ! ! Our tongues are hanging out as we relish the Xmas Dinner Menu of the Household Arts Department. Today's Hats is a typical fashion preview, and we will surely choose one of these latest styles for our next new bonnet. Continuing with the joke page, we were amused with such an original and clever poem as 'Twas the Night before Xmas. We have always enjoyed your magazine, and we wish success to one of the best!
