High scholarship standing is a basic requirement in the mea- surement of the success of the students and the school. Our past school year reveals many brilliant performances in scholarship. The purpose of the Dedicatory is to record and preserve the splendid scholastic achievements of our students. It is trusted that the excellent standings of the many 1930-31 students will be maintained, augmented and perpetuated from year to year. The following are brief scholastic eulogies of three of the several clever students in attendance during 1930-31. REGINALD CozENs: Entered B.H.S. in September, 1929, registering in the Fourth Form. He came to us from Lindsay with a distinguished standing. He completed Junior Matriculation in June, 1930, with first-class honours in allpapers and captured the I.O.D.E. first proficiency prize for Form IV. His greatest success arrived this past year when he won the coveted G. C. Edwards McMaster Scholarship for first place in Science for his Honour Matriculation. The scholarship was of the total value of 95300, being two years free tuition and S100 in cash. In addition, he stood seventh in General Proficiency and fifth in the mathematics and physics department in the McMaster Scholarship examinations. In the twelve papers written, he took nine firsts, two seconds and one credit which was a remarkable record for one year in most of the upper school. In his year's work at school Reginald took first place in general proficiency to win the Thayendanegea Chapter I.O.D.E. S50 Scholarship. Also, he won the Dr. W. A. Weaver gold medal for first place in Science. Reg's activities at school were not confined to strictly academic work. He was an indefatigable organizer and worker in many school activities. Two years ago he was Chief Editor of the school's year book, Rarebits. Last year he held the Presidency of the Literary Society, and the society had one of its greatest years in history. In dramatics, too, he was outstanding. Reg. has entered McMaster with a high record be- hind him, and the best wishes of B.H.S. EVELYN STEWART. A student from the Central Public School, Evelyn enrolled at B.H.S. in September, 1926, with the distinction of having won the coveted award for the highest High School Entrance standing in the County of Halton that sum- mer. She maintained these early successes throughout her secondary school course, taking the first general proficiency awards for Forms I, II and III, and second general proficiency honours for Forms IV and V. On the 1930 De- partmental papers she obtained ten first class honours and one credit for the eleven papers written to complete the Junior Matriculation. Last year, Eve- lyn had the honour of obtaining scholarship standing, an average of 75 per cent or over, on the papers required in the mathematics and physics depart- ment in the McMaster Scholarship examinations. She wrote on ten upper school papers, and obtained seven firsts, one second and two credits. Her marked ability and successes were not confined to academic subjects. Through- out her course she held important positions on the Year Book and QLiterary Society Executives. She distinguished herself in dramatics and on the school basketball team, which won the Senior Intercollegiate Championship of Ontario for 1931. She entered Victoria College of the ,Toronto University last September with great promise of an outstanding university career. 12 RAREBITS ANNIE BoRIsUK: Annie reached B.H.S. in September, 1927, graduating from the Maple Ave. public school. She obtained high honours on the entrance, and her High School course has been extremely successful. She won the second general proficiency prizes for Forms I and II, and the first general proficiency awards for Forms III and IV. In her first year she captured the special I.O.D.E. award for the highest marks in English, History and Latin. Last summer she completed Junior Matriculation, writing on nine papers of the Middle School and two papers of the Upper School. She obtained seven firsts, one second and a third class honour on the Middle papers, and a first and a credit on the Upper. Like most good students Annie has taken na great interest in every branch of extra-curricular activities. During the past two years she has been editor of Wit and Humour for Rarebits. Her record has been of great interest in that she has had to conquer the English language, owing to her Russian birth. Her standing in the Upper School for this year to date has been equal to her past achievements. Her percentage has run well over eighty on eleven papers. To speak of Annie has been to speak of Edna Ro- binson, who has been Annie's close rival. Edna won iirst proficiency in Forms I and II and the E. A. Harris gold medal for Middle School English and His- tory. She was Editor of Rarebits in 1930-31. These two classmates have aroused great expectation for the future. came?

The scholastic proficiency of -our students is fittingly rewarded through the many fine donations. 14 RAREBITS Elinremurh g A The first vivid thought which comes to my mind in writing this brief preface for the third edition of our year book, Rarebits, is that of the widespread depression, The re- duced size of this volume is a true in- dication of the seriousness of the present depression. There is a ne-ces- 1.e2e2s2siQsEeSa::f .. , . r -- df 5' 1 -rg, :5:5351555515555E5EQE525E5E5E3E5EgE5E Jas. MacF. Bates, Principal sary curtailment of picture plates and valuable literary contributions in the book. The members of Rarebits staff are deserving of the highest commendation for their courage in attempting the production at this period. The enterprise rests on a sound financial basis, and the publica- tion comes from the press with a full ultimate assured success in every way. In reviewing the work of the school for the past year one observes at once that there are, as usual, a few outstanding new achievements of pro- gress, Likewise, there appears to be no diminution academically, or in the successful functioning of the various school organizations. The traditions are being maintained and promoted. Scholastically, much honour was brought to himself and the school when Reginald Cozens won the G. C. Edwards Scholarship at McMaster University for first place in Science on the Upper School examinations last June. A new adventure for the school was the inauguration by the Board of Medical Exami- nation for all registered students. This medical service was organized and successfully administered for a surprisingly low expenditure, while its benefits have been manifold. Ath- letically, the school adopted a policy of a slight retrenchment in Interscho- lastic competition despite the win- ning of two C. O. S. S. A. champion- ships the previous year. The Athletic Societies, Boys and Girls, brought considerable credit to the school for the excellent staging of one of the most successful Track and Field Meets in the history of Halton County Interscholastic competition. Incidentally, the school won the meet for the fifth consecutive year. The Morning Assemblies and the meet- ings of the Literary Society in the way of Form competitions have pro- vided for the students splendid oppor- tunity for gaining confidence in speech and self-expression. The An- nual Commencement Exercises run- ning two consecutive nights under the auspices of the Literary Society comprised a programme which was without question the most praisewor- thy in history, Perhaps the most im- portant accomplishment of the Stu- dents' Council was the adoption of a school pin and ring beautifully de- signed with the school crest. There was an exceedingly large sale, which indicated the popularity of the work of the Council. A student, Harry Allen, had the distinct honour of winning first place in the International Lions' Club Es- RARE say Contest open to secondary school students for the Province of Ontario. There have been few material equipment additions to the school. The impossibility of obtaining school lockers has been somewhat of a dis- appointment to the school generally. The High School Board, however, has very carefully prevented the elimina- tion of necessary expenditures, and the school has not been handicapped to any appreciable extent through lack of proper and adequate facilities. In conclusion, I desire to express my gratitude and sincere apprecia- BITS 15 tion to the members of the staff for their loyalty, devotion to duty, deep interest in the school, and the stimu- lation being given to the students, to the students for their honourable con- duct, and for the realization of the opportunities and advantages which are theirs as a heritageg to the Edi- tor-in-chief of Rarebits, Osler Lockhart, and his able staff for keep- ing the unbroken continuance of such an important literary production. Our aim of higher intellectual standards is bound to succeed with this spirit of co-operation. IAS. MACF. BATES. Halvhiflnrg By REGINALD CozENs Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen: Again we have the pleasure of at- tending these annual commencement exercises, the third to be held in this new school. To you, who are here for the first time, Commencement is a new and anticipated pleasure, to others it is one of the usual social events of the year 5-but, to us who have left the school it is a welcome opportunity to return and revive our friendships of the past four or five years. It is my privilege and pleasure to act as spokesman for the graduating class of 1931 in offering this valedic- tory or farewell address. Incredulous as it may seem to the first formers, most of us felt a cer- tain regret last September, when we saw the present students trooping back to school. Each week, as we have followed your activities through the press, we have recalled the good old days when we were active mem- bers of this institution. More than once have we wished we were back! Strange to say, we remember -the pleasant sides so much more vividly than the hours of labour we spent in and after classes proving theorems or balancing equations. We may forget the principal parts of some Latin verb or the gender of a noun-but can we forget our field days, the rugby games, the literary meetings or the At Homes? No, in our minds these are living memories. May time never erase them! Although this building is one of the finest, it would not be the noteworthy institution that it is but for its ex- cellent staff, During his few years as principal here, Mr. Bates has been untiring in his efforts to improve this school along every line. This same is true of his most excellent staff, each individual member of which time does not permit us to mention, We feel that success is crowning their labours and that each year sees a better B. H. S. than before. Only after we have left school do we fully realize what our teachers have done for us, how patient and un- tiring have been their efforts, and how unappreciative we have been, In mentioning those who have assisted us in high school we do not forget Mr. Belchamber and Elwin, who have always proved ready to lend 3 helping hand. We, the students of 1931, have come here to-night to honour our school and to say au revoir-but not good-bye, for we cannot break off the old ties. We ask you present students to re- member that Burlington High School is yours to make or mar. We have done our best to uphold its good name and to you we .pass on this trust: Play up, Play up, and Play the Game. 16 R A R E B 1 T s Uhr Zllarulig Bates, James MacF., B.S.A., Tor., Principal .,.......

DITDRI ijt T' fn I +2 S .J EDITOR-IN-CHIEF-OSZ67' Lofkharf, V. Elarvhitz Once more We present for your approval, Rarebits , which has taken many endless Weeks to prepare. In spite of many difficulties encountered in this most trying year, the editors have tried to make it something of which B. H. S. will be proud. Al- though iinancial conditions have forced the staff to cut the size of the book, with that aim in view, We have tried to select our material so that we may still say that we have lived up to our motto, Better, and Still Better . A great deal of credit for this magazine must be accorded to our chief adviser, Miss Shaw. The Rarebits' Staff would also like to thank the teaching staff for their enthusiastic co-operation in the production of this magazine. The Advertising Staff, too, should be congratulated for their fine work. Theirs has been a hard lot this year when people are trying to make every dollar go as far as possible. But we hope that when they see the fruits of their labours they will forget the long weary hours spent in treading the streets seeking valuable and essential financial aid. They have done their duty-now it is the duty of every individual stu- dent to do his part and patronize our financial backers, for it is with their assistance that this magazine of ours is made possible. The Rarebits Staff also Wish to take this opportunity of thanking the Commercial Students and their teacher, Miss Paterson, for their many hours of Work in the production of this book. 18 RAREBITS Elie Spring Gfrrm PAULINE TANCOCK Once more the lengthening days proclaim the approaching end of an- other school year, Easter has come and gone. The early summer mi- grants are with us or have passed on into their northern home. The snow- drops and crocuses are in the gar- dens, and we are standing on the di- vide between winter and summer. Now fades the long, last streak of snow, Now burgeons every maze of quick, About the flowering squares and thick By ashen roots the violets blow. So sang a great English poet of the last century of spring in his country. Usually this might apply to ours, but this year there has been hardly any snow to fade. At least, in this dis- trict we had almost nothing to re- mind us even remotely of what is usu- ally considered a typical Canadian winter. Not many toboggans were taken for their annual spinsg most of us did not even have a pair of skates -and we do like our winter sports. However, in these hard times, when there is so much distress throughout the country, we probably had the best kind of winter after all. By the time you see this we will be well into the summer months, with thoughts of tennis and golf and swimming, as well as of the inevitable final ordeal. Relentlessly our works must be weighed in the balance and our knowledge gauged and plumbed to discover what we know of the an- cient Egyptians and the works of the modern chemist, the properties of the elusive triangles and the prob- lems of the wily hens. So take cour- age, brethren and sisters. Remem- ber that you are making a glorious tradition for the school and that your brilliance and application rejoice the hearts of your parents and instruc- tors, But excuse me! I haven't done my homework! f!Bur Artists The editor and staff of Rarebits wish especially to thank the artists who have contributed work for this issue. Special mention must be made of Fred Homer, an artistic second former, who is responsible for the 1931-32 cover design. Nor should we forget Bill Atkinson, who designed some headings to brighten our year book. To these two we pay special tribute, and hope that in the future they may attain to something really worthwhile in the realm of art. A Parting mari! It .has been indeed a pleasure to work with such an efficient Staff, and the Editor wishes to thank sincerely all his assistants who have co-operated so earnestly. On behalf of the Rarcbits' Staff I would like to thank all those students who have responded to our call for material. We appreciate your faith in us, and only hope we have lived up to your expectations. In conclusion, on behalf of Rarebits' Staf, may I extend our thanks to the advertisers. Q Finally, as a parting word, Fellow Students,-Here is the 1932 Rarebits. lt is your magazine as well as ours. May you enjoy it more than ever. RAREBITS 19 lllf lflfxfty 1 Pm Elnteruivm with Glharlva CE. B. Iinhvrta K. COLEMAN IV Isn't it a crime after you have had a perfectly lovely time to have to sit down and painstakingly endeavour to put that lovely time on paper? That is the position I find myself in and I just don't know where to begin. I know someone will say: begin at the beginningg so I will. I recently lunched with Charles G. D. Roberts and Professor De Witt in the Blue Room at Wymlewood. There are many nice things I could say about both men but, as you see by the title of this article, it is the former I must deal with. It seems almost like telling tales out of school to dissect our con- versation but I must, so I shall. To begin with, I think that Dr. Roberts has the most charming manner. I was completely at ease and I must confess that I expected to be a little ner- vous. At the beginning I found out that he loves a grate fire and always keeps one burning even if he has to keep the windows wide open to 'get rid of the heat. I have that same love of fires so I was rendered quite at ease. Somehow the conversation turned to Latin and Dr. Roberts remarked that he believed that Latin and Greek are the fundamental requirements in education. He began Latin when he was eight and Greek when he was twelve. From Latin and Greek we drifted to ants and I found out, much to my surprise, that the lumbermen in New Brunswick often eat black ants to pre- vent scurvy. Dr. Roberts himself has never tried them but he told me they were supposed to taste like black berries. Besides writing beautiful poetry and prose Dr. Roberts has proven him- self a successful fisherman and he told me just what trout like best and the manner in which they like to receive it. He has spent some breathless min- utes on his back in shallow water while a friend fished above for his benefit. Thus he has found out just how things appear to the fish and how to make his bait look most natural. In time, our conversation came around to writing. I asked him what he thought of Conrad's Lord Jim . He thinks it is a wonderful thing but it has too much detail. He himself believes in careful selection and not in such quantity. I learned also that his animal stories are just as popular in Eng- land as they ever were but the demand is not quite as great on this continent. After that, it seemed the natural thing to talk about animals. Dr. Ro- berts believes that the bear of all animals is the most like a human being. Why, they even spank their cubs! He told a very funny story about watching a bear balance on a rock and deftly catch fish. Old Bruin could not eat the fish there, so skilfully flung them up on the bank. When the bear thought he had enough he swam the short distance to shore and prepared for his meal. 20 RAREBITS Every time he tried to begin Dr. Roberts whistled and the bear looked aroundg thus he had a great deal of fun at the bear's expense. As you know, Dr. Roberts is very distinguished ilooking and a very in- teresting speaker and I could hardly realize that two hours had flown by while I sat and listened. I know if you had been there you would have enjoyed yourself as much as I did and would have said good-bye to him with the same little inward sigh of regret. illlnthrr illlaria By PEGGY Dr-JWHURST IIIA A tall man trudged wearily along the sun-swept road which led through a tiny-cluster. of white-washed cottages. His clothes were good, but worn and stained with travel. His piercing black eyes glanced over the rows of small houses set in flowering gardens. The brilliant fruit of the orange trees made bright patches of colour among the drab, grey olive groves. Red tiled roofs contrasted pleasantly with the glittering blue of the Mediterranean. Dusky, plump urchins played in the dust and sunshine. Buxom matrons sat at their spinning-wheels, sewed or gossiped, while on the beach the tanned and sturdy fishermen occupied themselves with sails and nets. After years of wandering in distant lands since he had run away from home as a boy, Antonio Mazzini was once more in his native land. He was tired and hungry. His passion for roving had driven him away from his simple home and loving family in the north. But, after many years of roaming, he longed for a sight of familiar faces, and he had retraced his steps homeward to his native village. There, as a result of his inquiries, he learned that all his loved ones were either dead or gone to another town-none knew where. So, heart- sick and lonely, Antonio continued his wanderings, no longer from choice, but from a con- suming desire to see again familiar and friendly faces., This town he knew not, but he must have food and lodging. He had some money, for Fortune had deigned to smile upon him in his travels. Accordingly, Mazzini stepped through a gate into a tidy garden, and, addressing a corpu- lent kindly-faced woman, asked where he might receive food and lodging. Drawing her round-eyed brood closer to her voluminous skirts, the woman replied readily. At Mother Maria's, of course, signor. It is there that all travellers go in order to receive that which they need. See-it is but a stone's throw distant. With a word of thanks, Mazzini turned down the street, directing his footsteps towards the white house which had been pointed out to him. It was smaller than its neighbours- this haven for the traveller-but its garden was as well-kept and in just as riotous bloom. The stranger walked quickly up to the low green door and knocked firmly. In a moment it was opened by a wee. white-haired old woman whose cheeks were wrinkled softly by mellow old age, whose lips smiled a sweet welcome, but whose eyes were dimmed by sorrow. Antonio made known his wants, and in a gentle voice he was bidden to enter. The interior of the cottage was spotlessly clean. Stiff, green curtains were faintly re- flected upon the gleaming white-washed walls. Several hand-made rag rugs partially covered the shining beauty of the red-tiled iioor. In one corner stood a spinning Wheel, and the fire-place filled another. A large, gray cat lay purring on a square of sunlit iioor. You were well recommended to me, Mother Maria. I was told that one could find here all that one desired. I wish that it might be true in all things. Those are pleasant words, signor. My loved ones have either died or left me. I am alone. And it makes me happy to minister to those who are worn and hungry. It is my life -But you must be weary, signor. You will find water outside by the pump-and in a moment I shall have ready a meal to set before you. Feeling strangely comforted and at home, Antonio re-entered the house, refreshed and ravenous, to Iind a meal set upon a clean, Howered linen cloth. While he ate Mazzini spoke briefly of his life, and, in turn. Mother Maria spoke of her loneliness, meanwhile pressing upon him her fresh bread, fish, vegetables and fruit. The meal finished, Antonio sat down by the open window and filled his pipe. Almost it seemed that he was home once more, and there was his mother beside him.-But no. His pipe was lighted now and his chair comfortable.-and it was only Mother Maria who sat near, calm. and industriously sewing. Silence fell. The rays of the afternoon sun leng- thened and stretched themselves out of the reach of the gray cat which stirred, got slowly to her feet, yawned. and lay down on the remaining patch of sunshine. Twilight was gather- ing and peace filled the little room. Mother Maria broke the long silence by asking. What is your name, signor? You have not yet told me. Antonio Mazzini. the stranger responded. With a joyous cry the old woman stumbled to her feet, the sewing tumbling unheeded to the floor. Her eyes filled with tears and she gazed with awe upon the startled face of the man before her. My son, she cried brokenly. Then only did Antonio understand-and striding forward, he gathered his mother into his arms, and laid his head tenderly and thankfully against hers. g R A R E B I T S 21 A illiihaummrr Exam Bream By A. SMITH IV . Scene:-The book-lined study of Jack Morgan on the night before the Upper School English examination. The room is lighted only by the green shaded lamp on the desk. Scattered over the desk and lying on the floor are new, unused copies of Lord Jim , David Copperfield , Henry IV , Longer Poems and Shorter Poems . As we watch, Jack nods once, twice, until finally his head sinks down on his folded arms. Slowly the room darkens until the silver rays of the moon and the fitful gleam of the dying fire are the only light. Very softly the door at the back opens and a figure clad in a white suit and sun-helmet enters and walks slowly to the edge of the desk.

MITCHELL IV The white-winged ship swept proudly around the headland, slackened sail and stopped. The harbour was like a funnel, the wide end facing the sea, but directly across its mouth stretched a grim line of rocks, their cruel fangs concealed just under the surface. Among them a dark blue strip wound ribbon- like through the white seething turmoil. This was the only passage for the entrance of ships. Now the ship floated motionless upon the sea with busy sailors swarming in her rigging. Gracefully she towered up above her blue re- flection like a white swan ruffling her feathers just after she has settled into the water and is still peering curiously at her image below. The pilot flag shot up to her mast. In answer, the old pilot hurried down to his boat, which his two assistants were launching. Then, for the first time, he took a look at the ship. Instantly his shrunken old figure straightened and his faded blue eyes flashed fire. The Faery Queen, he muttered. That will be my brother, eh! Forty years! Forty years! It's my turn now. The morning sun glinted on the furled sails and black topsides of the great ship as the pilot boat skimmed out to her like a giant water spider on some stagnant pool. The Captain waited at the top of the companion ladder, his blue-gray, steely eyes shining out above his bushy black beard just beginning to be ruffled by the fresh breeze that was rising. Ahoy, Pilot, cried the Captain. Ahoy, Captain, returned the pilot. The two oarsmen skilfully brought the pilot boat to the foot of the companion ladder: the pilot climbed agilely upg the rowboat pulled away. Without a glance at the Cap- tain who stood beside him, the pilot took his place at the wheel. The sails iiuttered, filled, and billowed out in the fast freshening breeze. The boat sliced through the water with increasing speed, like a sea-gull taking wing. The pilot gripped the wheel, a fanatical light of hatred in his eyes. My God, man, where are you going? suddenly shouted the Captain. I'm going to smash you. your ship and all that's in her on the rocks, hissed the pilot, for one moment letting his glance, passionate with hatred, rest on the Captain's agonized face. For an instant he lost his grip on the wheel and the ship struggled like a bull being led to the slaughter. Are you utterly mad, Pilot?', cried the Captain. Not utterly-no thanks to youf' His voice rose to a shriek. You are my brother, John Linguard. But you stole my girl. Forty years! And it still sears like a burning brand! Now I'm going to wreck your fine ship. Ha! Ha! and he laughed iiendishly. Man, man, bring the ship about, implored the Captain. 'Tm not John Linguard. He died in Singapore. I took charge there. Heaven help me. What have I done? groaned the pilot, horror-stricken. Then he turned to his wheel. The ship came about slowly, slowly, graz- ing a rock, missing one by inchesg but she gained headway and won clear of the treach- erous fangs. The pilot straightened himself as if a mighty load had slipped from his shoulders as the ship darted through the pas- sage like a proud eagle which had just won its mate.

RAREBITS 23 Starz - By PAULINE TAI-ICOCK IIIB We all know something about stars, but most of us know very little. We know, at least, that they are bright, beautiful celestial bodies, which are invisible to us in the day time because they are obscured by the sun and are seen only at night. All of us know the Great Bear or Dipper and could find the North star, but very few could name half a dozen other constellations. The stars appear to move as the earth rotates and some of them that are near the horizon rise and set. The sky thus assumes a different aspect at different hours of the night and does not look the same in the early morning as it did the night before. Some people who have to go to work before dawn see the stars quite often but probably nobody here ever has that experience. Nor do we see the changing colours of sunrise, which we sometimes read about in poetry, but so seldom pay any attention to in real life. One reason for this failure is that if we do get up early enough it is usually because we have to complete our un- finished homework, but the most important reason is that we almost all agree with Sir Harry Lauder's song that: It's nice to get up in the morning, But it's nicer to stay in bed. Scientists who study the stars are called astronomists. They have found out a great many wonderful things and speak of distances that no .ordinary person can imagine. They use figures that make some people dizzy and give others a sinking feeling. This is all rather dis- couraging to those who do not like mathematicsg so it is probably time to change the subject. This we can easily do by talking about other kinds of stars with which you are all more familiar. Some of us keep pictures of 'them which we put up on our dressing tables. In fact, some people are quite absurd about them. These are not the stars which we see in the sky, however, and whether they will all eventually go there is not known. Some people think not. I refer to such personages as Constance Bennett, Greta Garbo and Will Rogers. They are supposed to resemble the stars of the heaven in certain particulars, and no doubt some of them do. For instance, some are beautiful and possibly bright, but sometimes the imagination must be stretched to concede the latter. Then again, the figures used when speaking of these stars almost make one dizzy. Fifteen thousand dollars a week! This sum is quite dazzling and inspires in many girls a secret ambition to shine in Hollywood. Other brilliant stars who attract the admiration of the boys are Charlie Conacher, Howie Morenz and King Clancy. These also show quite staggering figures financially speaking and many boys cherish a hope of becoming this kind of star. There are many other stars of less prominence but of great importance that one might mention. There is the kind used in books. You will find they are used in almost every exer- cise of your Algebra. They mean, Look out, and mark the place where the nasty sums begin, those that you will probably get wrong the first time. The answers will be in the back of the book to prove that you really knew much less than you thought. In other books this kind of star is used to refer to a footnote. This indicates that the matter therein is not of much importance, but look out for it on your next examination. Finally, I would like to mention the stars we occasionally see in the day-time. These are sometimes of great brilliance but the circumstances are such that one usually has little in- clination to stop and admire them. The most favourable occasions for seeing these are during a strenuous game of basketball or football, while falling on the back of one's head on ice or on the floor of the gymnasium. Of all these various kinds of stars, however, those that probably deserve the most study and will repay your efforts in interest and happiness, are those that are found overhead. flbhh Zilauatzs By NINA EDWARDS IV In the life of every man there are always some things which he likes intensely and some other things which he absolutely loathes. Probably he could not say exactly why he takes the attitude he does to these things but the fact remains that he does and it cannot be explained away. In short, what is one man's meat is another man's poison. For instance, take the matter of food. I don't know why but the very mention of eggs makes me shudder while I feel the same way about milk. Pie I never eat because it is sickeningly sweet while lettuce seems to have no taste at all and gives me the feeling that I am eating rubber. Of course there are some things which I do like very much. Oranges are in this class and so are potatoes. For chocolate, plain chocolate, I have a kindred feeling, and strange to say, I like soda biscuits immensely when they have about half-an-inch of but- ter on them. While talking about eating I might mention the fact that I never like to eat a mixture of things. For instance, I like peanuts and chocolate separately but I do not like choco- late with peanuts in it. While this will probably raise a violent storm of protest from those well meaning people who affirm stanchly that eggs and milk and also lettuce are good for one, it will just as probably raise as violent a storm of approval from those other people upon whom, as in my case, eggs and milk and let- tuce had been infiicted in large quantities in the days of their lives when they were too young and yielding to resist. In support of and in sympathy with the latter has this ar- ticle been written and I hope they will take some comfort out of it. 24 R A R E B I T S Flhr Super Slruih 571111195 By E. MANNING IV Lord Licorice Lollypop was finding it difficult to uphold his end of a long line of Lolly- pops. Besides, he had other worries! The pearl necklace which he had intended to give to his wife for her birthday had gone astray-lost or stolen. His economical nature would account for his other trouble. Ever since a confederacy of cut-throat confectioners had planted a load of contraband candies in his house by mistake-probably through being sick- ened by their own merchandise-he had been licking in order to get rid 'of them, for he could not waste them. In this, he had admirable cooperation from the rest of the household with the exception of Lady Lollypop who did not approve of their quality. However, his despotic doctor, because the lord had sugar diabetes, had prohibited him the use of these sweetsg the bills which represented this arbitrary command were appalling especially to the thrifty nobleman. Thus, an economic revolution was set up in the household. As Lord Lollypop was a pacifist, the revolution and all it represented-including the pearls which 'he did not desire to replace-literally drove him to a sugar-coated existence. At the time this story begins, Lord Lollypop was furtively engaged in unwrapping a frozen sucker in the solitude of his study. Crash! Crash! Some rabid person was demanding ex- pedient entrance-a necessity if the door was to be saved. Supposing it is the Doctor, he thought aloud. The candy stick dropped from his nerve- less grasp. He had barely time to fling the stick to the blaze in the brazier before a man burst in. Detective Buttin of fthe Large Orb Detective Agency? had followed the advice of his employers to always make a decided entry. Licorice gasped with relief when he perceived that it was not the medical monster. Are you injured badly? questioned the super sleuth thinking that a murder had been coupled with the robbery and that this exhalation was among the last. Did you permit him ingress? angrily digressed the lord, speaking to the butler who was standing apologetically in the doorway. The butler sensibly refrained from responding to the aroused aristocrat, but retired de- jectedly to the newly-established cupboard of candied apples to ias the song saysl lick his sorrows away , for he knew the chances of a day off for viewing SpiiT Eights had faded into obscurity. The detective, of the peculiarly disjointed technique, spying the red sucker stain said, Ho! -murder! Gore on the Carpet -the current mystery thriller, had come to his mindg evidently a solution would soon be forthcoming. Who employed you? inquired Lord Lollypop of the detective. I did, a cacophonous voice proclaimed from the doorway. The enigma solver was Lady Lo1lypop's secretary. It's perfectly all right, replied the lord of the mansion gently, for he was afraid of the secretary-she reminded him of his spouse. But where is my wife? Licorice went on. She has departed for her mother's and she will not return until you get the pearl neck- lace, the secretary replied with an air of smug satisfaction. Remove yourself! ordered Lollypop of the detective when the secretary had disappeared. The detective had learned not to take advice on a case, but he had another suspect-the butlerg therefore he decamped. What shall I do? recited Lord Lollypop to the world in general. Take a drink, rather vulgarly suggested the parrot from her cage nearby. A good suggestion, pronounced Licorice sampling some unsolidiiied suckers of strong scent. I wonder if she would distinguish the difference, he mused, handling an imitation necklace. This reverie was cut short by the secretary's voice which drifted in from the hallway saying, Good morning, Doctor. I will have to pay my bills if he sees me with this, for he will think it is genuine, the Lord murmured, thoroughly alarmed. He would not have enough money to purchase the Spiff Twin Eight if he did pay themg hence his agitation. He dropped the necklace into his untouched drink and not an instant too soon for the doctor breezed in. Hal said the Doctor, Sweets again, eh! This is mouthwash, Lord Lollypop replied miserably. The doctor sniffed. The peer quelled before the sniff. Suddenly the doctor withdrew a stethoscope and jammed it home on Lord Lollypop's chest. RAREBITS 25 Just as I thought, he said triumphantly, weak-decidedly weak! You must go to bed for eleven months, he went on sternly. Lord Lollypop slunk off upstairs-the doctor sat down to the liquid. In the cellar Buttin found the butler browsing among candied apples of many shades and shapes. They each essayed one and began to munch. The daring domestic mentioned the secretary as a suspect, for Cupid's arrow had become poisoned between them when he had neglected to give her a pearl necklace as a present. It was very apparent that she had fulfilled her desire, he thought. The sleuth wandered forth in search of the secretary and finally meandered into the library where he found the doctor who was slightly incompetent, mdissolved paste pearls did not agree with himi, yet the doctor recognized him, as the detective had done on a previous occasion, some detecting for his wife. Their promised duel, at meeting, took place. They began to .spar in the centre of the carpet. The same instant Lord Lollypop crept across the room sweetmeat bound. The strain had been too great on his neurotic nerves. A second later a mysterious lady with a black bag glided past the open door. Both antagonists acted on the proverb: Duty before Self For the doctor soared through the air and pulled the august aristocrat up by the ear, while the stirling sleuth tip-toed steal- thily after the cryptic newcomer who, he thought, was the robber returned to the scene of the crime. Voices were upraised in the room where the unknown had vanished, as the master criminal hunter put his optic to the keyhole. He discerned the secretary and Lady Lollypop who had ,returned when she discovered that her mother was out,-the mother, poor soul, completely unknown to her had been arrested for the illegal sale of chocolate eclairs. Ho! said Detective Buttin, Accomplices, having remembered the words of the butler. He leaped in. Prior to this activity, Lady Lollypop's and her secretary's dispute had been as to which was the best tinted of the lollypops. Lady Lollypop liked saffron, while the secre- tary preferred peach. Now the wealth of words was turned on the unlucky detective. He saw rightly that these criminals were too hard to get along withg so he started edging towards safety. Wait, quoth Lady Lollypop, her face softeningf' have a suck. I never partake on duty, Buttin replied proudlyg nevertheless, he accepted the confection. Lady Lollypop, in her kindness, exchanged the lollypops and it was a measure of iioor polish, made into a sucker-especially for visitors-that the sleuth sucked so heartily. He descended the stairs. The floor polish had taken effect: he was an angel in shining brightness, so much so that he illuminated the shadowy hallway and saw a vacuum cleaner in the corner. Ho! he ejaculated, I will meditate, and emulating Sherlock Holmes and his violin, he listened to the music of the purgerg but it was incorrect to his sensitive earg so he gave the rug manicurer-which was suffering under a load of shattered suckers-a well needed cleaning. He gave a shout of glee as he pulled forth the pearl necklace from the bright debris. Then he strode majestically into the library. Here he found Lord Lollypop holding his ear for the doctor had squeezed it continually for eleven minutes, presumably as a punishment, the was really getting back at the eminent lord for not paying his debtsi. He had fallen into salubrious slumber in a chair from exhaustion owing to the muscular effort expanded. I have found the necklace, shouted the sleuth. No! said Lord Lollypop. Yes! replied the detective. How long this would have kept up is uncertain if the ever helpful parrot had not said: The decision goes to the detective gentleman on points. These words removed all doubt from Lord Lollypop's mind, and as the doctor was rousing himself, the great lord, fearing he would be discovered, motioned the detective to give the jewels to his butler who had just entered and was rewarding the parrot with a taste of a lollypop of a delicate pastel. The secretary followed by Lady Lollypop now invaded the portals of the library. When the secretary saw the pearls, all was forgiven. She ran forward to clutch them, but it was a vain effort. The butler withdrew them and said hurriedly, They are the lord's. What, said Lady Lollypop and the doctor in unison and they began to advance menac- ingly on Lollypop . Here you are, my dear, said the aristocrat relinquishing the pearls to the Mrs. . Where is my pecuniary reward? asked the doctor dismayed that he was being left out. He has a balance in the bank, returned Lady Lollypop gratefully. Thus it was that Lord Lollypop never owned an automobile. He had to be content riding with the butler when his hopes were realized in a bigger and better Spiif Eight eleven years later. Hope springs eternal in the human breast. Let us hope for him-not for Lord Lollypop --the incomparable sleuth, who is still waiting for his wages. 26 RAREBITS mine Bnggie LUCY VANDERHOORN, IV Mine doggie, vot a pup he iss, Der badness off der verld iss hiss, I got 'im ven he vas dat schmall, But den he couldn't learn at all, It seems dot der more big he grows, Der more he plays and less he knows.

High School Board, Burlington, Ont. Dear Board Members,- It is my pleasure to present the first report in connection with the medical inspection and examination of the scholars attending the Burlington High School for the term 1931-32. I congratulate the board on inaugurating this service, which has seemed to me to be so eminently worth-While. Altogether there were 304 students examined. The examina- tion was made with the assistance of the public health 'nurse, Miss MacFarlane, who was present at all times. The finest co-opera- tion was manifested by the students and principal, Mr. Bates, and in many instances the girls and boys were anxious to know of their physical condition. At first it was thought to examine the students with a view to their physical fitness for P. T. only, but on later consideration it was deemed advis- able to examine the eyes, tonsils, teeth, etc. The defects zfound have justified this latter decision. As a result of this heart examination 17 were excluded from P.T. and other exercises: the other 33 were allowed to take exercise with caution, that is, P.T. but not the more strenuous exercises. The number who have had communicable diseases at some period or other of their life has been ascertained and the total placed opposite the name of each disease: Measles, 2255 German measles, 81 Scarlet fever, 423 Whooping cough, 1703 Chicken pox, 1733 Mumps, 1023 Infantile paralysis, 2, Small pox, 45 Diphtheria, 163 Cerebral S. Miss Phyllis MacFarlane R.N. meningitis, lg Typhoid fever, 2, Rheumatism, 23 Pneumonia, 21. In explanation of the foregoing, I would like to state that the heart was examined before and after exercise, and the pulse counted before and 2 minutes after exercise. In many cases a murmur was brought out after 15 toe touches. Many of the murmurs were of a functional character and should clear up, particularly with proper care. How- ever, I have deemed it advisable to record all abnormalities detected. In the case of eye defects it was ascertained that 23 students' eyes were sufiiciently bad to warrant the use .of glasses. Another 19 students' eyes were not short sighted enough to demand the use of glasses at this date, but it is suggested that their eyes be kept under close observation. In the case of all discovered defects, re- ports have been sent to the parents or guar- dians concerned. The number of reports reached the surprisingly large total of 180. In these reports the parents or guardians were kindly advised to keep in touch with their family physician, oculist, or specialist. A number of parents and guardians have al- ready acted upon the suggestion made, and beneficial results have been apparent. I have deemed it a great privilege to have had the opportunity of rendering this student medical examination service, and I trust that the benefits obtained will have a far-reaching effect on the student life of Burlington and community. .

At this meeting, in the absence of the President, the Second Vice-President, J.

No sooner had the curtain been drawn on the final meeting than cor- ridors and classrooms resounded with the echo, Who Won the Literary So- ciety shield ? The judges, Mr. Bates, Richard White, and Ernest Berry, retired behind closed doors to A. Speers, Marion Tresidd make their decision. At the Monday morning assembly the chairman, Richard White, expressed their un- animous decision in giving the shield to Fourth Form for their Well-organ- ized programme. He also made spe- cial mention of the programmes of the close competitors, Fifth and First Forms. Fourth Form programme was a fourfold dramatic presentation illus- trating the four types of drama. These were played more or less seri- ously, chiefly the latter, under the guidance of their form teacher, Miss Shaw. K. Coleman acted as chair- man and commenced the programme by a brief talk on The Growth of the Little Theatre Movement. We ex- tend our hearty congratulations to Fourth Form on winning the coveted Literary shield, and also the forms who so closely contended for the re- ward, 30 RAREBITS CAST OF JAZZ AND MINUETH Th as Leighton, Mary Burnet, Alistair Ferguson, Grace Virtue.

Glnmmenrvmvnt iixvrrmvz ll A By Marguerite Metcalfe, V, On the evenings of November 19th and 20th a large assembly of stu- dents, ex-students and citizens gath- ered in the auditorium of the Bur- lington High School on the occasion of the annual school Commencement Exercises. The commencement was the greatest success in High School history, and great credit is due the Literary Society and the teachers for the fine way in which the splendidly arranged programme was carried out. On account of the long list of pre- sentations the programme was divid- ed so that the first night featured the athletic and the second night the aca- demic awards. On the opening night the programme commenced with the singing of O Canada, led by the school orchestra, following which two English choruses were enjoyed. Mr. Bates then delivered the Commence- ment address, in which he welcomed those present and expressed the stu- dents' appreciation of the donations received. The chief feature of the first part of the programme was the presenta- tion of the athletic awards. The M. M. Robinson gold medal for ath- letics and scholarship was awarded by Mr. M. M. Robinson, honorary presi- dent of the Boys' Athletic Society, to David Cooper, Mrs. D. A. Hyslop, honorary president of the Girls' Ath- letic Society, presented the Field Day ribbons and medals to the girls, while Mr. F, C. Virtue made the presenta- tion to the boys. The E. W, William- son gold medal for athletics and scholarship -was presented by Mr. E. W. Williamson to Elsie Hodsdon. The W. G. Mallet pole vaulting medal, won by Roy Brooker, was presented by Mr. W. G. Mallet. The Halton County Interscholastic Field Day individual championship medal was presented to Margaret Smith by Mr. Joseph Smith. Colonel S. R. Wallace present- ed the Strathcona Trust rifle shooting' medal to Thomas Hedley. RAREBITS 31 Form II A received the Field Day form shield. The Lions' Club chal- lenge cup, emblematic of the athletic championship of Halton County, was awarded by Dr. J. G. Walker, presi- dent of the Lions' Club. Variety in this part of the pro- gramme was provided by a delightful vocal quartette by Fern Butler, Lou- ise Nelson, Basil Passant and Phyllis Stainerg language choruses including selections in French, German and Lating a Violin solo by Jean Hyslop, vocal solos by Basil Passant, Eliza- beth Coleman and Robert Campbell, 3 dramatic reading by Ethel Scott, and a character dance by six girls. During the intermission the chestra entertained with a number of selections. The second part of the programme was made up of three plays, a song by the rugby boys, a balloon dance by four girls, and an instrumental trio by Andy Hyslop, Jerry King and Gor- don Rusby. The first play, Between the Soup and the Savouryj' was a most enjoyable comedy. The cast was composed of Phyllis Thomas, Pauline Tancock and Alice Barrett. The second play, The Maker of OI'- Dreams, was a fantasy. The cast for this play included Kathleen Cole- man, Nancy Scott and Osler Lock- hart. The last play, Jazz and Min- uet, was very much what the name suggests, and was put on in splendid fashion by Sally Loree, Mary Burnet, Grace Virtue, Thomas Leighton and Alistair Ferguson. The programme for the second night repeated in part the events of the iirst night, but the chief feature was the presentation of academic awards, which took the place of the athletic presentations of the previous night. The fifty dollar scholarship for Upper School, donated by the I. O. D. E., was won by Reginald Coz- ens, The E. A. Harris gold medal for Middle School English and History was won by Phyllis Thomas. The Dr, W. A. Weaver gold medal for Up- per School science was awarded to Reginald Cozens. The High School sincerely appreciates those donations by citizens of Burlington and feels that they should inspire some very worth-while work. On both nights the singing of the National Anthem concluded a very successful programme.

Yes, the Burlington High was revelling in its annual Hallowe'en Masquerade. It was a strangely transformed school owing to the artistic abilities of the decoration committee. The commit- tee certainly excelled itself in the as- sembly hall. Here the proverbial black and orange were used in decid- edly new waysg' here, too, hissing black cats and wise old owls kept se- cret trysts. At the back of the hall a gigantic witch, decidedly ferocious in appearance, remained flattened against the wall in spellbound admi- ration at our fun. Keeping her com- pany was the light house miraculous- ly turned into a bower of beauty by autumn leaves. Hidden beneath this beauty was the power to send the bal- loons drifting down to their eager destroyers and to make these eager destroyers hide behind their partners for protection against the persistent beam of light, which singled them out again and again in the darkness of the hall. You who were thus hon- oured will remember. When the auditorium was filled to capacity with eager students and more sedate parents, the curtains drew back, revealing a group of rev- ellers before a fire, In the cozy half- light they sang song after song, some new, some old. Then individuals stepped forth, we heard a new Or- phan Annie,' 'and we saw a tap dance which lightened our hearts. The illllzwquvrahv group sang again, and then came a quaint verse and a selection on the Spanish guitar, Gradually the group drifted away and six lively pumpkins hopped on to the scene, danced, and hopped off again. At once the witches from Macbeth appeared, chanting awful spells about the fire, and do you remember the flashes of lightning and the rumbles and roars of thun- der? Suddenly the witches fled shrieking before two gliding skele- tons who danced wildly about the lire. The curtain finally hid the varied pro- gramme from our eyes. Next came the Grand March. Oh! what a time the judges, Mrs. Free- man, Mrs, Smith, Mrs. Templin and Mr. Harris had! People of all nation- alities, and even animals, milled be- fore their eyes. There was a crowd of handsome gigolos to distract the ladies and a bevy of old-fashioned girls to set the men a-dreaming. Fin- ally the judges reached their decis- ions, which were as follows: Best dressed ladies-Annie Smith, as a Spanish senoritag Jean Hyslop, as 3 pirate. Best dressed gentlemen - Osler Lockhart, as a devil, Bill Hopkins, as an Indian. Best couple - Margaret McCutch- eon and Kathleen Coleman as skele- tons: Alice Eaton and Ida West as gypsies.

On this occasion the students welcome back the ex- students and teachers, making our At Home a happy reunion. Our dance, under the auspices of the Literary Society, was held in the auditorium on Friday evening, Feb- ruary 26, 1932. About two hundred were present, including students, teachers and ex-students. The pat- ronesses were Mrs. A. C. Burnet and Mrs, I, J. Heldman, A reception com- mittee received the guests at the door of the auditorium, and this served to make every one at home.

So many have gone forth this year to seek their professions in life that if any have been missed the editor begs that student to accept her humble apologies and to believe tht error was made through ignorance, Two of last year's staff are capably filling positions elsewhere, while Miss Cannom is spending the year at home. Mr. Freeman, after his all too short stay, is principal at Stoney Creek and Miss Buffam is teaching Mathematics and Physics at Weston. Among those at Toronto Univer- sity are Helen Smith, specializing in Physical Culture, Evelyn Stewart in English and History, and Reta Swartz studying philosophy, Bruce Lindley, who, until Christmas, was trying to solve the problems of Mathematics and Physics at Varsity, has set aside the pen for the plough and is helping at home. Jean Leitch is completing her Hon- our Matriculation at Branksome Hall. Florian Loree is our sole represen- tative at Normal, as is Marjorie Hys- lop at O. L. C., Whitby, and Paul Christianson at the University of Pennsylvania. At the various business colleges in Hamilton, Iolene Macklin, Grace Hes- lop, Beryl McMillan and Marjorie Wilkinson may be found. Margaret Stephenson, Dorothy Sanderson and Beth Turner are in training in the Hamilton hospitals, and Florence Richardson at St. Cath- arines. Lezetta Sheppard is spending the year at home, but hopes to be with us again next year. Sadie Palmer is also at home, but expects to go in training in the fall. Reg.

Svtuhentz' Glnunril By' Pauline Tancock fSec.y At the end of the second year of its regime the Students' Council is in a better position to state the purpose and aims of the organization. As we conceive it, the duties of the council are as follows: to provide a fair rep- resentation of the student body, speaking for them at meetings of oth- er societies, catering to their wishes and feeling their needs, if necessary, to negotiate with the Principal in dis- cussing problems which may arise in the school. The accomplishments of the body have not been numerous, but under the guidance of Miss Eby and the leadership of the President, Ray Guthrie, the society has had a suc- cessful year. Christmas cards, engraved with the school crest, proved very popular with the students, but the greatest achievement has been to provide the students of B. H. S. with an appropri- ate school pin. The Council realized a fair profit from these sales, and act- ing upon the wise and careful advice of the treasurer, Roy Carlton, was able to add considerably to the funds. Although it is not the object of the organization to make money, it is a tribute to the executive that they can accomplish this, and still give satis- faction. To the culinary department of the school the council presented two dozen silver spoons, which were gratefully accepted. As the term of 1931-32 is swiftly drawing to a close, we take the oppor- tunity of wishing to future councils every success, and a full measure of prosperity, We trust that they will profit by our example and our experi- ence. RAREBITS 37 illrgkiauik By TOM LEIGHTON IV Mist - mist everywhere, weighing us down like some tremendous shroud! A soft rainy drizzle alighting gently upon the glistening decks added to the general brooding loneli- ness. The storm of two days ago had died down to a heavy silent swell. The only noises were the deep foreboding groans of the ship's fog-horn, and the rattle and creak of cordage, blocks, and trunks coupled with an occasional hail from a member of the crew at the hold. All this was dulled and muffled by the chok- ing fog which dripped, dripped, dripped from spars, cordage, and guy wires with a mad- dening monotony. Time:-Forenoon of Friday, June 20, 1930. Ship:-S.S. Montcalm, C.P.S., under Com- mander A. Rothwell. Place:-Just below the Arctic Circle, be- tween Greenland and Iceland. Destination:-Reykjavik, capital of Ice- land, scheduled to reach there at about 10.30 p.m. The voyage thus far had not been exactly uneventful. Upon rounding the south tip of Greenland, we had borne into a storm which lasted three days. I had crossed the Atlantic before, and had seen some rough weather, but never before had I experienced such a storm, nor have ,I any desire to do so again. It came from the north east, right into our bows, precipitating sixteen and a half thou- sand tons of ship into a most exasperating corkscrew motion. Its potency became mani- fest in an extremely nauseating brand of sea- sickness. Now, to those who think sea-sick- ness is something to make jokes about, ,I would advise a day's indulgence in it, for ex- perience is the greatest teacher of all. It particularly struck the third class passengers, most of whom were Icelanders, cursed with the idea that an abundance of intoxicants was the ideal cure for it. Most of them had never travelled scientifically and didn't know that the best thing for sea-sickness is a dry stomach. But sea-sickness, like death, is impartialg it also laid low most of the cabin passengers and of these, I was no exception. I survived the first day of the storm with merely a dizzy feeling. The second day I felt worse, and tried to walk it off, although the tremendous seas made walking rather pre- carious. What finally conquered me and sent me below was 'the sight of so many people leaning over the rails at the side of the ship. They were jerking rather spasmodically and, although I could see only their backs, I felt quite sure that they weren't fishing. I shan't dwell much upon my experience below, but I soon reached the conclusion that, even if Al- cock and Brown did land in an Irish bog, they certainly had the right idea. As the ship rolled, the curtains at the side of my bunk swung back land forth, and my valise slithered across the floor from one side of the cabin to the other in a most annoying man- ner. As dinner time approached tmy cabin being near the dining saloon? I could hear the crockery slide off the table and crash and clatter right merrily with every severe lurch of the ship. But not many people worried about it that day. On the third day the storm abated some- what, so I went on deck and soon felt my old self again. The ship wasn't in such bad shape, considering the severity of the storm. Of course, many things had been washed 38 RAREBITS overboard before they could be lashed down. Among these were several props that had been washed from under the life boats on the top deck near the funnels. That gave me some idea as to the height of the waves. As for personal injuries, several people had fal- len, and one member of the crew had sus- tained a broken leg. On the afternoon of that third day when the wind and waves were still high, a small fishing schooner passed us .on our larboard beam, her sails reefed to mere strips. At one moment she was visible, the next she was hidden in a gulley between the waves. Life looked quite perilous aboard her, and it gave me a certain thrill of pride to see through a pair of binoculars that she flew a tattered old Union Jack. Two days later .I was to see that flag on most of the shipping in Reyk- javik harbour, and a day after leaving Reyk- javik I was to see it again on the H.M.S. Rodney, one of the largest battleships in the world. It impressed on me the fact that it is a pretty good old flag, despite depressions. When ca person can travel thousands of miles and land on territory under the same flag, the experience is quite an object lesson. But let us return to Friday, July 20. Every- thing was shipshape once more, although, as I have said, it was a terribly depressing day. However, by mid-afternoon the fog lifted, and people began to walk out on deck, chatting expectantly about Iceland. Everyone seemed to know what would be done on our arrival. yet no one really knew. .It wasn't often that a liner went up there, but we were carrying about two hundred Icelanders back to Ice- land for the millennial anniversary celebra- tion of their parliament. They had come from all over North America, some were cul- tured and some were not. The celebration was to be held on the ancient Plain of Thing- vellir and already a great city of tents and temporary shelters had been thrown up there. As the evening wore on it became a little colder. Strange to say, it wasn't cold up there, but the dampness ran through your body as sand runs through your fingers. Another one of nature's little curiosities became evident in the fact that at this time of the year, when the people of Reykjavik go to bed at night, they have to pull down their blinds in order to keep the midnight sun out of their eyes. About eight o'clock we sighted land, but Oh! what a dreary land! There was a light- house, a shack or two, and a church - the whole insignificant conglomeration being blessed or cursed with a tongue-twister of a name. I won't afflict your ears with it simply because I've forgotten what it was. In a few more knots two large greyish-brown moun- tains loomed side by side out of the sea, miles ahead of us. The grey clouds above them and the grey sea below made them look more forbidding and desolate. Several ships seemed to separate themselves from the foot of these mountains and come steaming to meet us. As they came closer we saw that they were the Icelandic navy, consisting of two de- stroyers and some other craft. The destroyers were flying a message of welcome and were distinguished by the names Aegir and Odinn . The officers and official reception committee from Reykjavik were on them. As they boarded us through a watertight door, I freed myself from the noisy cheering crowd, who craned their necks over the rail, and ran down to one of the dining saloons through which the newcomers were entering. It was quite a dignified meeting, with the usual pomp and dignity of uniforms, diplomacy, and elaborate manners, and it was rather in- teresting to watch. On my return to the deck, a fine, uniformed choir on the nearby boat started to sing some Icelandic songs. A little later, the destroyers shoved off from our side and formed an escort as we steamed into Reykjavik harbour. By this time, the decks were alive with chatter- ing rand laughing people. Scores of boats of all shapes and sizes, filled with people from the town, moved around us. They were laughing, shouting and hailing, and waving their red, white, and blue flags about. The whole population of 25,000 seemed to have come swarming around us. By about two o'clock in the morning most of the boats had gone back to the town and most of the pas- sengers had retired. By three o'clock all the boats had gone, and the only people on deck were two or three noisy parties from Reyk- javik. Since there is partial prohibition in Iceland, these people had bought some strong liquor at the ship's bar before it closed, and had proceeded to go on a spree . When I saw them they were in various stages of merry inebriation, but through diplomacy they weren't disturbed. As I wandered about alone I took stock of the surroundings. We were anchored out- side the harbour because the ship was too big to moor inside. Across the bay from Reykjavik were two large mountains of sand and shale. In the bay 'itself were two is- lands, and several tramp steamers could be seen. Within the harbour mole were scores of ships of all kinds, from square-rigged whalers to modern destroyers. There were also two junker sea-planes, which kept in daily communication with Denmark, the mo- ther country, and the Scandinavian Penin- sula. Along the shore line were the usual factories, an :oil refinery, and a ship-building plant. On every stretch of open shore were small white objects that looked, from the ship, like square tents. I found out later that they were used for ldrying .fish upon. The town proper is scattered over two low hills and a Tvalley. On top of one hill is a huge Catholic church, which can belseen for miles. Far from the town, at the end of the bay, stands a very gloomy looking building, all who enter can escape only through the grave, for it is a leper hospital. After taking some snap-shots of this, I retired. That day, all who wished to could go ashore in the life-boats, from six-thirty to ten-thirty a.m. I took the six-thirty landing party and in a few minutes 'I had set foot on Iceland for the first time. There were not many people up, but those who were stared at us as if we were from Mars. On and on I strolled up hill and down dale, for, indeed, those Icelanders don't care where they put their apologies for cow-tracks which they call roads.

In the south of England is a 'small town, Battle Abbey, which is noted for a certain battle. It is .situated on the Hump, as it is called, or the little hill on which Harold of England fought and died. While 'I was in England last summer there were many places that were very interesting to me. The quaint cobblestone streets ,of Rye, Ypres Tower and Camber Sands near Rye all attracted me. But none held my interest like Battle Abbey. The place is now in ruins, for the most part, and the towers at the gate are covered with vines and creepers. The gates them- selves are made of heavy oak timbers held together by strips of iron. Perhaps before taking you inside I .should refresh your me- mory regarding the event connected with the ruins. When Edward I died without child- ren, Harold, Earl of Wessex, became the suc- cessor. Harold had promised the throne to William, Duke of Normandy, who landed in England to claim the promise. After an all- day battle, Harold was killed by an arrow and his forces defeated. It is said that Wil- liam that night slept on fthe field among the dead. Now let us view this ancient battle ground as it is today. There are nine arches on the side of the building, upheld by slender pillars, some beautiful stone carvings of the eleventh century and some lovely windows Hwith a va- riety of figureheads of the thirteenth century. The Cloister garden is an open square with the Holy Well in the centre. In this shel- tered garden you see plants such -as castor oil trees, etc. Passing around the east side of this house you come first to an old archway with a curious stone gargoyle above it. This was the Abbot's bed-chamber. Then comes what remains of the old and lofty dining hall and next the Cloisters. Next we come to the Crypts-three vaulted chambers with a pas- sage containing a semi-circular roof. The first chamber is very low with a tiled floor and seats of the same construction arranged around the Abbot's chair in the middle. This was The Silent Room of studies. Upon in- vestigating we find that the second room was probably used as a crypt for the dead, while the 'third room was the library where the monks laboured over their lstone and wood workings. Overhead is the Dormitory which was one time laid out in squares for accom- modating eighty to one hundred monks. Abutting from the Dormitory block on the east side was a considerable building com- prising the Hospitium and farther south was the Gong or washhouse. Next we pass the Dormitory lawn. From here we get a fine View of the gable-end of the building, all the facings of which were brought from Normandy. On fthe old wall one can still see wmarks of ancient vinery. A peep at the lily pond shows us that it was beautiful when it was built and its beauty has been increased with age. When passing the cedar lawn we notice some recently discovered stone foundations and cedar trees. This is said to be the spot where William .supped and slept among the dead. It is believed to have been the burial ground of the monastery. Beyond the Cedar lawn is the Yew walk where in places the limbs of the trees have grown together and have formed arches. Here at night owls screech and fly among the trees. Both the Church and the Benedictine monastery, which we have been describing, were built by William the Conqueror to fulfil the vow made by him, if God granted him victory. Although it is now in ruin, no other church of the kind could rival fit except Can- terbury Cathedral. As we leave, the last thing we see are two faces peering down at us from the walls. They are supposed to re- present Harold and William. Now I hope that I have given you a ,good impression of Battle, for of all the places QI saw in England, it interested me the most.

Cox IIA One summer's day two years ago, I stood on the historical old construction, the Tower Bridge, looking down that famous waterway, the Thames River. The river was crowded lwith boats that varied from black fussy little tugs to tower- ing ocean-liners from foreign ports. From where I was standing the Parliament build- ings could be plainly seen and, a little far- ther up, the famous Tower of London, where so many kings and queens had been sent to the scaffold, raised its battlements to the sky. Coming down the river, a police launch, with its shrill siren, darted through the maze. At anchor, just beyond, was a large Eastern cargo-boat immaculate in white paint. Two tugs, nosing their blunt bows through the black, greasy water, steamed by, towing a big passenger-boat. This is said to be the most wonderful mass of cosmopolitan shipping found in the whole world. Flags of every nation under the sun are found flying on the masts of these ve- hicles of the deep.

GJ Basketball this year has not been considered a real success, but some good games have been played. Owing to the limited number of Senior play- ers surviving from last year, no Sen- ior team was entered in the League. The group in which the Junior team was entered consisted of Dundas, Wa- terdown and Burlington. The first game was played at Wa- terdown, and Waterdown carried off the victory, but Burlington managed to defeat their opponents in the re- turn game at Burlington. The next game was between Dun- das and Burlington, The Junior team was out in full force, showed a snappy brand of basketball, and succeeded in carrying home another victory. The senior team, also, played an exhibi- tion game with Dundas, and they, too, brought another victory to the al- ready long list of Burlington's hon- ors, Burlington eliminated Dundas in a return game played at Burling- ton. Our Junior team now had the opportunity of playing off with Grimsby for the Niagara district championship. It was unfortunate that these games with Grimsby should have come at the time of the flu epidemic which swept over our community, be- cause three of our girls were unable to play. At Grimsby, Burlington lost by a small margin, and also lost in the return game, Thus the Junior team lost their opportunity of going to Windsor, and so following in the steps of the Senior team of last year. However, Burlington had a chance to play off for the Hamilton District. shield with Westdale Collegiate, This was perhaps the most outstanding game of the year. The girls certain- ly gave a real exhibition of good bas- ketball. They managed to pull out with a tie. On the return game, how-- ever, Burlington lost by a few points. The Junior team has one more chance, that of winning the Consola- tion Cup in the City League. This cup was donated by Mr. Bates, so nat- urally we are rather anxious to have Burlington claim it. With the conclusion of this game, which is to be played soon, basketball season' come to an end, with the bright hope of Better luck next. year!

The Meet this year, held at Burlington, appeared to be a greater success than ever before. The B. H. S. boys and girls both succeeded in winning a great number of points over the other schools. Although the boys worked very hard, they could not come up to the girls, and the latter gained 1015 points over the boys, Burlington's total was 16015 points, while the run- ner-up, Oakville, had 109. One of the girls' outstanding events was the spiral relay. This was a new feature, as it was introduced this year for the first time. The girls, in their blue and orange sweaters, dart- ing between the posts, called for a great deal of cheering, and certainly got it, Of course, they won. During the afternoon the girls, un- der the supervision of Lib. Coleman and Miss Martyn, were kept busy at their booth.

Magis' Athlviziua Ezwkrilmll CLARKE MANNING, IHA Boys' basketball enjoyed a success- ful year in good old B. H. S. in spite of the fact that we were represented only by a Junior team. Although no Senior team was turned out, this was by no means due to lack of interest, but can be attributed to the scarcity of senior material. To start with, we had a lucky break. Waterdown did not enter a Junior team, and so Dundas remained the only other team in our group. In our first game against Dundas, played at Dundas, we were defeated by the margin of one point. We were not particularly worried, however, because we had not had much prac- tice. From then on we showed our superiority. We easily beat them on our own floor in the first return game. On February 2nd we again journeyed to Dundas. This was the critical game. The Group Championship de- pended on it. If we could pull out a win it meant that we had to defeat them only on our own floor, and of that we were practically assured. Once the game started, it was fast and fu- rious throughout. Finally, when the smoke cleared, we found ourselves victors by the score of 26-22, We de- feated them in the last game of the series on our own floor, although on the occasion they fought hard and made the score close. With the group championship ours, we found that Thorold High School stood between us and the champion- ship of the Niagara district. The first game at Thorold ended disas- trously for us. Although we fought hard, their greater weight and expe- rience gave them a safe lead of ten points for the return game. As ex- pected, they again defeated us, this time on our own floor.

MANNING, IIIA On October 3rd at Burlington High School the fifth consecutive Halton County Field Meet was held. From every point of view it was a wonder- ful success. The crowd was of the record-breaking type, and as a result the finances of the Athletic Societies recuperated remarkably. The four schools in competition were Burling- ton, Oakviile, Milton and Waterdown, since Acton and Georgetown were not represented as in past years. The visiting schools entered strong teams and although Burlington led from the start it was a close race, and many times during that hectic day the en- thusiastic supporters of B. H. S. had qualms and forebodings, The good old blue and gold came through again, however, and Burlington won the Lions' Club trophy emblematic of the interscholastic championship in track and field events among the secondary schools of Halton county. The schools finished with the following points in the order named: Burlington, 160113 points, Oakville, 1093 Milton, 775 Waterdown, 491f2. The day was ideal for sports of any nature. The lengthy programme was run off smoothly and efiiciently by excellent oflicials. We were fortu- nate in having with us several promi- nent members of the Hamilton Olym- pic Club, Robert CBobbyJ Kerr as starter and M. M. CBobbyJ Robinson as referee for the track events were ably assisted by residents of Burling- ton, audit is largely due to the efforts of the officials that the meet was such a huge success. The judges were George Howse, Colin Smith, Dr. Walker, James Tresidder, Lee Smith, Daniel Barrett, W. G. Mallett and oth- ers. A large crowd of enthusiastic stu- dents from the various schools accom- panied the competitors, and these supporters urged on their respective teams by every effort known to root- ers. All day long the campus re- sounded with the various school yells. Both on' track and campus very fine school spirit was exhibited, and the various contestants fought grimly for their respective schools. This meet, the first held at Burling- ton for a number of years, was pro- claimed by many as the finest ever held in the county. Certainly from start to finish everything was a dis- tinct success, and this day should be marked as a red letter day in the an- nals of Burlington High School. ifurlingtnn Eigh Svrhnul Annual iliivlh Bag C. MANNING, IIIA This important annual event held on September 4 at Burlington High School was once again a real success. The wonderful weather contributed not a little to the general success, and this combined with a smoothly run off programme made a perfect day. Keen interest was shown in the standing of the forms, and when the results were compiled it was found that form II A had won the form pen- nant, with form III B runner-up. As usual, boys and girls were di- vided into four classes: juvenile, jun- ior, intermediate and senior. A num- ber of local citizens were present, and they kindly acted as judges. Al- though the meet was of necessity di- vided into two parts, the semi-finals on Monday and the finals on Wednes- day, this fact did not detract from the splendid and even brilliant per- formances which were displayed to the large crowd of supporters. Another memorable Field Day has passed, and it is one of which the High School and the residents of Bur- lington can be justly proud. 48 RAREBITS HIGH SCHOOL FIELD DAY CHAMPIONS Class Senior Intermediate Junior Juvenile Boys Garnet Ireland David Cooper Bill Atkinson Homer Smith Girls Mary Sheppard Margaret Smith Frances Taylor Pat Middleton Eughg JIM FERREY, IV The rugby team didn't have the luck this year that they had last.

Gaps there are among the ranks, faces that one does not know Yet without a prophet's vision, one can see how some winds blow. Black eyes snapping, white teeth flashing, naughty curls pinned back with care- Can't you see our Phyllis sitting as a prim, stern teacher there? Stooped and serious, learned professor with an absent-minded stare, Why, that's Lambshead, late of Fourth Form, but just see his thinning hair! Coat of blue with braid and buttons, cap that's worn with jaunty air, Yes, it's Brooks, can you believe it? Captain of H.M.S. Dare. Slow of walk and stout of figure, forehead grooved with lines of care, Harry Allen once wrote essays that the Lions thought quite fair. How they flock to see his picture! Question him in curious bands! Is that Leighton's halting query? Madam, I donit understand. Blue-eyed gaze and dainty swish 5 white-starched skirts and there she stands! Say it low-Grace once forgot and held too long a patient's hand. Famous scientist to lecture-Harshaw translates unknown tongue- Well he might! Did he not write one Hin the days when he was young? Leading diplomat to China-suave, convincing, genial laugh- Jim will surely bluff the Chinese. Why, he almost bluffed the Staff! Manning is the coming poet-writes free verses by the day. But 'tis whispered that his last ones were so free they ran away. In her ears, the diamonds gleaming, on her shoulders, costly furs, Helen sports her second husband, plans a third if he demurs. Now the veil descends before meg deep into the mist I peer, But no longer through a vista may I glimpse the coming years. So I close my Fourth Form forecast with a wish sincere and true- Best of luck to future Fourth Forms is the thought I leave with you. 111 A Hnlran Editor-Jean Bell ilinrm News A member of our form, Patricia Middleton, distinguished herself on the field of sport by winning the girls' juvenile medal on Field Day.

Many are the deeds of might that we could relate, But we would rather ask some questions before it is too late, We'd like to know why Henry rises from his chair To answer the door when no one is there. We would like to ask a question of Wesley Coombe, Wwhat interests him at the back of the room? And we'd like to ask Bill, in a casual way, Why he wasn't late the other day? We'd like to ask Mary in tones profound Whom does she see when she turns around? There are many other questions that we'd like to ask, But time grows short and it's quite a task .

Last but not least the assistant edi- tor of this great magazine is Pauline Tancock, one of the leading stars of III B. So let's give three rousing cheers BITS for third form and wait to see how many scholarships come to this form at the end of the school term. Miss Purtelle, in English class- Hewton, what is a seven lettered word meaning mush-room ? Willie- Parlour. Zlinrm A IIA Editor-Connie Galashan Debating Section Although our work in debating has been somewhat limited, thanks to our two debaters, C, Galashan and Mel- ville Cox, however, we succeeded in eliminating 2B in the inter-form de- bate. This produced rather a min- gled feeling of joy and pride among the members of our form, as there' is naturally more or less rivalry be- tween us, Rather shamefully the girls are forced to admit the boys captured the honours in our form, de- bate. 11 A Sport News This last year II A worked for and achieved many of the honors sought for by every form of the school. The most outstanding of these was the winning of the shield on Field Day. This shield hangs outside the door of IIA, and many stop to admire it. On Field Day, Margaret Smith, who cannot be surpassed in the high jump, won the Girls' Intermediate medal. Frances Taylor won the Girls' Junior medal. Bill Atkinson, besides being an artist, proved his ability in sports by winning the Boys' Junior medal. The girls' medal at the County meet was won by Margaret Smith. We also have three players on the basketball teams. Marg. Smith is a player on the girls' team, and Bill Atkinson and Harold Eaton are on the boys' team. On the football team we have Ken Shaver and Harold Eaton. All we say in conclusion is that II A has a wonderful sporting record. Pk Pl! Pk Burlington Cityi News, May 6, 1942 George Robbins, prominent stock broker of New York, visited friends in town last week. Among the per- sons- called upon were Rev. J. W. Bur- net and Mr. Fred. Homer, B.A. A garden party was staged in the city park last evening, A most enjoy- able evening was spent. During the course of the programme Mr, Mel- ville Cox, noted soloist, rendered two selections that were very much en- joyed. Gordon Wray, prosperous Maple Avenue florist, is still specializing in violets. During second form days he learned to Say it with flowers. George Robbins, prominent Bur- lington merchant, has invented a new school seat which cannot be removed from the floor by means of compasses or other instruments carried in the pocket of the average school boy.

Although we did not have the honour of bringing the shield to our form, we were rep- resented in almost every event avail- able. In rugby, too, we took our part, which was another matter of import- ance to the school, Roy Brooker and Norton Freeman were two players from our form, the latter being a regular backiielder. IIB were real supporters and turned out in large numbers at the games. illiterarg The class Literary Society meet- ings were placed in the hands of: President, David Christiansong vice- president, Robert Serena, secretary, Nevada Milligan, These meetings were very interest- ing, some being turned over to debat- ing in the class. The girls, represent- ed by Nevada Milligan and Glenne O'Kelly, defeated the boys, represent- ed by Peter Minnes and Robert Ser- ena in debating the following ques- tion: Resolved, that moving picture shows are harmful to the people. Our form debaters, Robert Serena. and Nevada Milligan, were eliminated by IIA in debating: The chain store system is detrimental to the best in- terests of the Canadian people, with II B upholding the aflirmative side. We played a large part in the Sec- ond Form literary programme, which was held in the form of a circus on April 22nd, Masters of Ceremony, David Christianson and Peter Minnes, are prominent characters in the form. 12-X Zfrnahraat Editor-Bob Campbell At the beginning of the school year the Literary Society was formed in I A by our English teacher, Miss Shaw . The oflicers were duly elected, with Samena Coleman as chairman or president, Alan Hedley as vice-presi- dent, and Paul Ferguson as secretary. We generally meet every second Fri- day if possible. The first speakers were allowed to choose their own sub- jects, and many different ones were spoken on, which were very interest- ing. Then the subjects were chosen for us and they became more interest- ing as the weeks went on, Soon ex- aminations came and the speeches were left until a future date. After the Christmas holidays came more speeches. We have some bashful speakers, but when they came to the front, and the class was quiet, they found that it was not so much of an ordeal as they had imagined. If you have an interesting subject, and know what you are talking about, it is still easier to speak. Then Easter examinations came and the IA Liter- ary Society had ended for the year. Altogether we think that it has been a very successful society in most re- spects. 56 RAREBITS A Bag at E31-LS. . By Doris Norsworthy, 1A The school was called by Mr. Mac- 'Lean With Hush!

And afterwards in there came Miss Shaw, With a Midsummer Night's Dream. Then out came our Geography note- books, About corn, wheat, oats and rye, Tobacco, sugar, Wools and silk, Toronto, New Yorkeand Shanghai. Who also teaches us Physical T, And teaches us very well.

Mr. Bates gave us a kindly look, And then entered Miss Marlatt. Then in came our Algebra teacher, The dainty little Miss Martyn, I certainly do not shine in this Any more than I do in Latin. Finally then the bell did ring At just a quarter to four, And Mr. MacLean said just one thing, Girls, line up at the door. At last the day was ended, And we lined up content, And down the hall we marched in two's Then next came our History teacher, With the thgught of 3 day Well- The pretty Miss Purtelle, spent.

We wonder why we are so dumb, We didn't used to was, I can't imagine why it is, I guess it's just because, Miss Perry says it's laziness- Mr. St. John won't believe her, He says he knows the symptoms well, It's nothing but spring fever. Athletirz At the annual track and field meet held on our campus 1B made a splen- did showing. Many pupils were for the first time contestants against more experienced competitors, but like Tim Smith, who defeated many middle school boys, our form pulled on to victory in many events. Our boys' relay team, consisting of H. Smith, J. Mallett, G McCormack and B. Konkle defeated competitors from 1A and second forms, and also broke a record. We are proud to have a shield come to our form, won by Tim Smith, who is the Juvenile cham- pion. RA 0Bur Zllnrm It's on the second landing, The first door, straight ahead, This little form of 1B And many have heard it said, There's lots of fun in this form, Though there's lots of work too, But we make ourselves happy, And that's the thing to do. But in this form there is a boy, Dick Turpin, Spider, Spike, Who lives a long, long way from here, And rides home on a bike, And also in this form there is An artist, Jean by name, And Hartley Watts, a dreamer, once To school at ten he came.

Eiterarg 1B took a great part in the flrst form literary programme put on in May. It consisted of choruses, short skits, dances and individual numbers, which showed the talent in our form. Svperial ann Svrrnnh Glnmmvrrial Editor-Edith Siple As the graduating class of the Com- mercial Course we would like to give a resume of what the course has meant to us., Two years ago We started out with a fairly large class, but since that time many have left, only to be re- placed by a few new students and some ex-students who come to keep up their practice. The Special Commercial Class be- gin and complete their course in one year. This course does not in-clude any Lower School subjects. Speed and accuracy is our -aim. Early in the course we began to use the Victrola, This was for the pur- pose of developing rhythm in both typing and writing. With such a happy beginning not one of us be- came suspicious until we realized there was only one record-the Stein Song. We rebelled, pleaded, there were words, we even went so far as to form a chorus of our own fwhich was received with cutting coldnessl, but to no avail. The Stein Song won, so to speak, and we settled down meekly to the business of typing with or without music. As the year draws to a close we feel that we have accomplished some- thing valuable and have enjoyed studying and reading about the Com- mercial World.-S. H. Second year commercial lost one of its best athletes when Phyllis Stainer decided to leave school. Last Field Day Phyllis brought honour to the form as an excellent broad jumper, high jumper, and basket-ball throw- er. She was on the Junior Girls' Bas- ketball team, and was well known as an all round good athlete. We wonder: 1. Where Lester Brain got his black eye. What the other fellow looks like. 2. Why Marjories Burgess and Stewart come to school at all. 3, If Miss Paterson ever loses her temper. 4.

HOW ARGUMENTS START Brown was an interested visitor to Wilson's carpentry shop. By the way, Wilson, he said, picking up a plank, What are these holes in this wood? Those are knot holes, Wilson explained. Brown threw the piece of wood on the floor. They are holes, he insisted. Don't you think I know a hole when I see it? When most boys are about four years old they want to go to school because other kids do. After they've been there several years they find out it isn't any bed of roses and want to stop as soon as possible. After they have left school for a few years they find out they've misjudged school and want to go back again. Life's funny that way. is DECLINED The motorist was extricating himself from the wreckage of his car on a 'country road when a farmer came up to him and asked: 'Ave an accident, sir? f'No, thanks, snapped the victim.

RAREB REYKJAVIK iContinued from page 385 mine had the indiscretion to go inland over one to see a lake of boiling mud. He rode in a hired Ford and he afterwards told me that there is no pain like the pain of regret. The houses are mainly of wood and corru- gated iron. Some of the older ones have flat roofs covered with live green grass. None of them fare pretentious, although some are trimmed with wooden dragons. The com- mercial and public buildings are very mo- destly builtg in fact, they aren't even inter- esting. After I had explored the naval sta- tion and the Catholic church I began to look into the shop windows. Some of them held pastries that looked as if they might have murderous propensities. I entered one shop and tried to make the shopkeeper under- stand. After exhausting xall the signs in the Indian language and the deaf and dumb code, and adding some of my own, I finally told him what I wanted. Then horror of horrors! All that labour was in vain, for he refused Canadian money! So QI went forth and mourned and would not be comforted. By this time most of the town was awake. The men seem to dress about twenty years out of date, but the women have a national costume. It consists of a black satin dress over which is worn a black shawl and a black apron. The shoes are ordinary black lea- ther. That much is very dull, but to offset it every Icelandic woman wears la 'little lace skull-cap with a highly decorative tassel of gold, and around her waist she wears a broad belt of gold. It is in several sections, each highly embossed and ornamented with fili- gree,-truly a masterpiece of the goldsmith's art. The women themselves are usually very beautiful and graceful. Their complexions are very fineg their hair which is nearly uni- versally bright blonde is dressed in four long braids, two tied at the base of the skull. Personally, I 'think it would look exceedingly beautiful and fascinating :if it were combed out instead of being tied up like tyres. After a little further search, I found a de- partment store that Jwould take my money, so I bought some souvenirs, and then made my way back to the dock where quite a large number of passengers had assembled, and were talking about rtheir numerous experi- ences of the morning. At ten o'clock the first boarding party left for the ship, and, being rather tired, I went along with it. At noon we steamed out of the bay. By four o'clock in the afternoon the last sandy peak had sunk like the setting sun below the sea. And thus ended the adventure-another and more romantic name for experience- experience which is the greatest of all tea- chers. For we may read, we may be told, we may be shown, but we do not know until we have experienced,-until we have had the adventure. HE DID Jack said he'd kiss me or die in the at- tempt. Gracious!
