However, after a painstaking search of the creek, ravines, hills and bear-traps, they were all rounded up and started off down the old wagon-trail, St. Matthews Avenue. Everyone stopped at the Minto Barracks and when all together, the crowd gave the school yell under the direction of Bob Bradshaw and Harrison Cassidy. We were nearing the school and the odors of well-scorched food¬ stuff tickled the nostrils and the unusual happened, the Juniors hurried. For some obscure and unkown reason the hoys arrived first at the lunch¬ room. Eric Johnston, the Junior President, is at the head of the line, insisting that he is there to keep order, but we suspect a deeper motive for his presence. As one went the rounds of the various refreshment rooms he would think he was in the Orpheum Theatre, judging by the juggling and balancing displayed. After refreshments, the dance commenced. Music was furnished by the Commanders Light Six Orchestra, who also officiated at the Seniors’ get-together. Alack and alas there are Juniors.who cannot dance ! Such a deplorable condition! We believed that it was only the Seniors who could not DAN ' CE. It has been said that “Time passeth with leaden feet,” but time has been modernized and passed by on airplane wings. Promptly at 12 p.m. the music ceased. The party broke up. Students with motor vehicles loaded them up and set out to make “whoopee” in other parts of the city. The halls of the Collegiate were silent again. So did the Junior Hike and Dance pass into history, leaving behind it pleasant anticipation for the next one.

D. M. C. I. BREEZES 17 WHITHER? A Voice, a clarion in the sky, Is calling me, I know not why, “Come quickly, come and fly.” The Voice, an echo in the air, Is luring me, I know not where I look, but I am here. 0, would that 1 could follow Thee To higher realms of ecstasy, A country fair; Where I could peep behind a star, A fairy fair in kingdoms far; But, I am here. —Helen Tuck, 56. THE SENIOR CHORAL SOCIETY We all feel that, as far as music is concerned, we have had a very successful and profitable year indeed. By “profitable” we do not mean mercenary profit alone, for we have gained a great deal intellectually by our musical study. The first triumph of the Senior Choral Society was the successful performance of the Gilbert and Sullivan light opera, “The Mikado,” on the 6th, 7th, and 8th of February. Great ability was discovered in both the boys and the gii ' ls, which helped to make the annual opera a great success. CAST. Conductor—Miss Ethel Kinley Nanki-Poo.... Ko-Ko. Pish-’Tush. Pooh-Bah.
