What shall I tell him?” “Tell ‘im the truth,” said his wife. “Tell ’im if he needs a bath, he’d better take one afore he comes.” “Where are you g’oing, little flea?” “I’m going to the dogs.” Shy Young Thing: “ ' Sir, where is the petticoat department?” Sid W. (grinning): “On the fourth floor, Miss, in the antique department-” “It’s the little things in life that tell!” said Evelyn Williams, as she dragged her kid brother from underneath the sofa. A teacher entered the class and began: “Now gentlemen, pay particular attention to this- I have, in this, a particularly fine speci¬ men of a disected frog.” Slowly he unfolded the paper and disclosed some sandwiches and cold chicken. “But, Great Scott!” he exclaimed, surely I ate my lunch!” Course S tubent£ Boyer, Wm.

This national sport got away to a good start for the season, when early in December Mr. Harold Lee, Athletic President, called a meeting of all men interested. A hockey club was formed which im¬ mediately got busy. Mr. Loucks was unanimously elected Honorary President. Mr. E. R. Borgal was elected president, and Mr. F. J. Kennedy, secretary. Representatives from the rooms were elected: Mr. L. Graves, 2-A; Mr. Sutherland, 1-A, and Mr. Scott, from the Short Course. These enthusiastic and hard-working individuals arranged for the upkeep of the rink and a practice game, and entered a team in the Junior Hockey League. The first league game was played December 6th. The boys were hardly prepared for the encounter and were beaten by the Junior Caps, a stumbling block for most of the teams in the league. During the league season the rink was very seldom in condition and there was- little chance to practise, so the team was unable to compete on an even basis with the well-drilled city teams. The much blamed practice teaching also made it impossible to get out the full team at times, and a game had to be defaulted. Though the team always put up a game struggle, sad to say, they never won a league game. But when, towards the end of the season they met Midnapore the country team bore the brunt of repeated losses and went down 8-6 before the hard-fighting Normal clan. An inter-room league started off well, but was never completed. When the league broke up the main contenders were both of the 1-A teams and one of the three 2-A teams. Personnel: Players in the Junior League team at one time or another were: Glen Paul—One of the Short Course fellows, who did his bit in goal before leaving us at Christmas. Christie, 2-A—Tried his hand at goal, but gave it up in favor of a spare job on the forward line, where he turned in some good games. Haley—Taking over the goal-tending job late in the season, he proved a wonderful goalie and acted as a rejuvenator to the team. Bob Reynolds, 1-A—A stalwart of the team, if not in size, in prowess. A sterling defence player and quick on th.e break-away.

Get your own hands cold.” He spends his time looking for new worlds to con¬ quer and points on which to argue with the instructors. R. J. REYNOLDS— “Bob” could be president of everything if he would only stop resigning. He was president of athletics and business manager of the Year Book.
