Our Masquerade Blazing with colour and glowing with joy Rollicking laughter and bantering jest This was the scene that night in November In our Srhool, clad in festival dress. Thronging soft-lighted and colourful halls Clothed in the gayest and richest costumes Knights with their ladies, bold pirates and gypsies Danced to the brightest and liveliest tunes. Soldiers and cavaliers, Indian maidens Merry young clowns, and pretty pier- rette Mexican beauties and gay caballeros Graced the big gym in glorious fete. Now comes the morning with cool, searching light Sending pale beams on a desolate floor Torn ends, and streamer: of faded, limp paper Mock at a :plendaur that now is no more. -D. Garratt Problems Answered DEAR Miss CONNIE UNDRUM : There are six girls in our class, who are terrorized by one of our teachers. When this masterful worthy stalks into the room, looks around the room in search of prey, and suddenly pounces on one of them to answer an unfathomable question, despair is written on her face. Some turn pale, others a ghastly green, and other a brilliant red. They gulp, and try to Continued on page 27

Among the line-upthis yearare:-Furneaux, Barnard, Bryant, Callahan, Hodge, Livingstone, Muir, Pestelle, Paul, Reitberg, Badger, Martin and Harris. Cross Country Run Danforth Tech were favoured with ideal weather conditions for their 4th Annual George Smith Cross Country Run. About 1400 students watched twenty-two trained runners leave the mark for the seven mile grind, which took them over four long hills, across the Don River, through open country and back to the crowd before the school. The race was a spectacular duel between Jack Eastaugh Ca 2nd Year Matriculation studentl and Horace Brown Ca 3rd Year Auto Mechanic Studentl. Brown held ashoxt lead for a greater part of the distance, then for half a mile they ran side by side, until Eastaugh pulled away just in sight of the tape. Brown made a final spurt and crossed the line less than a yard behind his rival. The record of 49 minutes and 50 seconds set by Stan Cable last year was reduced to 43 minutes, fifty- seven and one fifth seconds. A record crowd of cheering students and parents packed the aud- itorium and acclaimedthe prize win- ners when Mr. Geo. Smith, M.P. presented his handsome trophy and a fine gold wrist watch to Jack Eastaugh. Mr. Geo. Oakley, M.P. presented the 2nd. and 3rd. medals to Horace Brown and Fred Moore, on behalf of Ald. Sibbery and the Danforth Business Mens' Association. Mr. J. F. Phillips, past President of the School Ath- letic Association, presented the Association's medal to Wallace Baillie, who won fourth place. Ninteen boys were awarded ribbons for finishing the course. Girls Sports SWIMMING CLASSES MONDAY NIGHT C1.Ass : Mr. Hodkinson, our swimming instructor, took a very keen interest in girls' swimming this year and organized a class for the more ad- vanced swimmers of the school. There were about fifteen girls turned out and since then it has dwindled down to about four girls. As he secured a silver cup for them to swim for, he is consequently very disappointed. If the swimming continues there will be a forty yard swim on our big Aquatic Night in Nlarch, and the cup will be presented to the winner by Russ VVaters, who is the best swimmer our school has known. THURSDAY NIGHT CLASSES : There is a special swimming class for beginners every Thursday after school conducted by Miss Rodgers. The girls are all pro- gressingsplendidly. Miss Rodgers would like a few more members in the class so if you are interested in swimming at all, come along. Corn Roast The girls of D.T.S. and a few of our ex-students had a very enjoy- able time at our corn roast in Sep- tember, soon after we started back to school. While the Hhot dawgs and the cobs were cooking we had a delightful program in the Maud. Audrey Carline, who is now on a tour across Canada, doing stage- work, did some specialty numbers that Hwent over big while George Wagdin supplied us with some
