D.M. C. I. BREEZES 9 SENIOR GIRLS’ GLEE CLUB ' J ' HE Senior Girls’ Glee Club is once more preparing for a successful year’s work under the guidance of Miss Kinley and the officers: President, Mary Mann, Room 55; Secretary, Cherry Crawford, Room 58; Treasurer, Ruby Orris, Room 55; Pianist, Lillian Furney, Room 55; Librarian, Mildred Dudley, Room 56; “Breezes” Representative, Frances Fox, Room 58. The girls are turning out in large numbers. It is hoped that they will continue to do so. Last year “The Pirates of Penzance” was des¬ cribed as a “howling success,” and the opera of this year “H.M.S. Pinafore,” will, we hope, be worthy of that so-called praise. With the assistance (such as it is) of the Boys’ Glee Club, this Gilbert and Sulli¬ van production should be one of the outstanding achievements of the year. —F. F. SENIOR BOYS’ GLEE CLUB The Senior Boys’ Glee Club gives promise of making this a record year in the history of our music. The results, so far, in the singing, would do credit to a grand opera chorus (practicing in a boiler factory) and the members all claim that the results of their production, “H.M.S. Pinafore,” which will be produced early in the new year, will startle the musical world. The capable body of officers elected at the first prac¬ tice will be given the heartiest support of the whole club. President, Waverley Wilson; Secretary, Lloyd Bruce; Treasurer, Bill Kibblewhite; Librarian, Llewelyn Johns; “Breezes” Representative, Bob Wil¬ liamson. —B. W. JUNIOR GIRLS’ GLEE CLUB The Junior Girls’ Glee Club re-organized for the season 1927-28 October 24th. The following officers were elected: President, Ruth Galbraith, Room 22; Secretary, Bagna Johnston, Room 47; Treasurer, Emma Atkin, Room 24; Librarian, Marguerite Ross, Room 22; Pianist, Jean Wildgoose, Room 47; “Breezes” Representative, Louise Warren, Room 15. —L.

8 D. M. C. I. BREEZES VOLLEY-BALL It is rumoured that we are to have a volley-ball series. In fact we are going to ' have a school team to play against Kelvin and St. John’s. We shall hear more about this later from Miss Bucknam. —Marguerite Ross, Room 22. RUGBY “You can’t keep a good game down”—the truth of which has been made manifes t by the enthusiastic reception the boys have given to rugby. Daniel McIntyre has the distinction of starting the game in the High Schools. It had previously been forbidden, several players having been injured. The boys, however, are willing to “play t ' he game” and to take the responsibility themselves should any accident occur. At a meeting held in Room 18, Ted Crayston was elected captain. The line-up of his battle-squad is as follows: Snap, Hicks; left guard, Sprung; right guard, Williamson; left tackle, Swan, Cooke; right tackle, Tessler; left end, Palmerston; right end, N. Johnston; quarter, Hawryk; right half, Cane; left half, C. Johnstone; right safety, Cray¬ ston ; left safety, Wilson. Mr. Campbell has been kind enough to allow the game to be played so long as no one is injured. The boys of the team wish to thank him for his generosity and sportsmanship. Mr. Madden, who used to play for Queen’s University, and who is an ardent enthusiast of the game, gave the boys a great deal of valuable instruction and helped to pilot their enthusiasm over the rough spots. The boys hope to have him for coach next year, when rugby will be more firmly established. TAKING ADVANTAGE OF HIS BLINDNESS ■ HEN I consider how the night is spent In scratching words that I have written down, Then writing more, and lastly with a frown This luckless page in two I boldly rent. Then I begin again, this time more bent Upon achievement which will bring renown; But soon once more I find my head a clown, And I surmise my genius has been lent. Never daunted, still another try I make, until a word I do progress. Then suddenly a rhyme I find I need. I sit in thought and deeply wonder why It does not come, then finally confess, That they know best who only sit and read. —K. E.
