58 D. M. C. I. BREEZES malt in our whisky was put down in 1907.) As usual, we cleaned up in school activities. Five members of Room 14 are puck-chasers on the D.M.C.I. team, and four others were prominent in H.M.S. Pinafore. Nor did our social activities suffer in any way during this period of men¬ tal stagnation (this term). To begin with, Room 51 invited us to accompany them to the wilds of the Assiniboia district for the purpose of assimilat¬ ing, digesting, devouring, and other wise destroying wieners. Of course we went and nous nous sommes amu¬ ses bien. Next, Room 52 requested the pleasure of our presence on a similar escapade. On this occasion things didn’t go quite so well, as the wieners got mixed. If you can imagine the delightfully appetizing flavor of a nice black cigar, liberally coated with mustard and embedded in a crisp, brown, roll, or mentally experience the choice pleasure of inhaling the aromatic fragrance of a smouldering wiener, you will realize what a won derful time we had. Of course the monotony of clas: routine is occasionally broken by more or less exciting events. For example just before Christmas we found our selves face to face with the horror? of a P.T. exam. However, much tc our regret some person unknown (?) put an extra lock on the door of the apparatus room. Needless to say wt boiled over with rage at the prospect of foregoing this exquisite form oi entertainment. In conclusion we wish to thank out ROOM 14, XI-G Back Row (from Left to Right)—H. Trott, H.

The room displayed its waggish wisdom in electing its officers as fol¬ lows: Earl Sutton, president; Eleanor Swaffield, secretary-treasurer; George Crayston, boys’ sports captain; Hazel Searle, girls’ sports captain. Did not our friend Shakespeare com¬ mend one who found “books in run¬ ning brooks, sermons in stones?” To test this theory we paid Mother Na¬ ture a visit one evening in September. It took the form of a weiner roast and, thanks to the dogs, it was a howl¬ ing success. The cars bore up well; in other words, very few flat tires were present. M. MacMILLAN.
