D. M.C. 1. BREEZES 97 remainder were half-shot.) People born under “Nero” usually have fleas. Lucky colors—Maroon and White. November “Saratoga,” the bowling alley. This is the month when the world gets ready for Christmas, giving presents away and expecting more back. Sev¬ eral people will be arrested for early Christmas shopping—that is, if they get into the store before it opens. Last year 7,015,829 people didn’t buy on the installment plan. Out of this number 7,016,826 were under 9 years of age, and two others were unem¬ ployed. Cold weather will hold its place all over the northern parts of the world. Mild weather, however, will not prevail in Winnipeg. The speed-skating season will begin at Wesley. A special event will be the race between Fanny Frieze and her dog Fido, As a handicap, Fido will give Fanny three laps. November is favorable for business of all kinds, providing that one minds one’s own business. Lucky colors—none; lucky days—none. December The zodiacal sign is “Beaver”— Santa Claus. Brown-eyed people horn in this month should avoid all con¬ nections with Rupert Street, P.S. An eclipse of the polar nexus will take place on December 11 at 3.30 a.m. On account of the early hour, nothing will be heard of it, and twice as much seen. Lindbergh will tour Central Africa with his new 24-shot bombing plane and inten¬ tions to establish peace with his good will tour. On the twenty-fourth of December the death of Santa Claus will be reported from several differ¬ ent parts of Scotland. Lucky day is any day. Birthstone is the legume (22 carrots).

96 D. M. C. I. BREEZES will be the only sensation of the month. Colors predominating in this month will be Yellow, Red, Green, Tooke and Arrow. August The month of “Raggus,” the dish¬ cloth. This is a lucky month for all revenue officers and politicians. Sev¬ eral meteors will be seen in the sky, including gas-meters and centimeters. That reminds us of a verse we know. Note the metre: There’s meters of gas, There’s meters of light— But the best meter I know Is to meet her tonight. Cold weather will continue up until August 31, 1931, B.S. (Before Sep¬ tember). Several murders will take place in Tasmania and other parts of South Africa. The flowers appearing this month are Lilies, Violets and Roses. By special arrangement other flowers that can be seen are Jean, Joan, June and Jane. People born under “Raggus” have the inclination to become waiters in Childs’. September The zodiacal sign is “Horace,” the domestic animal. September 1 starts this month and, as usual, all the boys and girls gaily trip back to school (for the first few days). This is a prosperous month for Chicagoans, as machine guns of exquisite designs (some have bad designs) will be per¬ fected and the shooting of men will be wiped out—also, the men. We pre¬ dict that the National League pen¬ nant will be won by the team with the highest percentage of points. During September the autumn leaves will begin to fall, thus giving plenty of work for the City Council. Cold weather will set in. It will be about 20° in the shade, but you don’t have to stay in the shade. There will only be about 105 more shoplifting days until Christmas. Get yours done early. Buy Christmas seals, but be careful what you feed them. Sep¬ tember’s flower is the Forget-Me-Not —a symbolism of the return to school. October “Nero,” the dog, governs this month. Universal week commences October 3 and ends October 4. Each child attending any performance will be given a Universal typewriter, while adults, 80 years of age or over, will be admitted free—if accompanied by their parents. The planets ap¬ pearing this month are Adonis and Pluto. Several others will appear, but they won’t be seen. Owing to Rin-Tin-Tin’s illness, Sirius, the dog star, will substitute. Several cold spells will start about the twenty- first and will last until the tweny- second. On the twenty-fifth of this month the duck-shooting season will commence. Last year out of 6,519,- 432 ducks only 5,015 were shot. (The HYGIENIC DAIRY E BONNE PURE MILK AND CREAM (All Milk from Tuberculin Tested Cows) Phone 80 867

High Jump—(1) Edna Barnett, Muriel Murray, (2) Georgina Gall. Dash—(1) Genevieve Johns, (2) Georgina Gall, Hazel Bull, Gladys Waters. The grand aggregate was won by Room 51, Seniors. The Junior aggre¬ gate was won by Room 55. INTER-ROOM BASEBALL Owing to the ever-changing mood of “Old Man Weather,” the baseball was postponed to a later date. As a result the baseball finals were not played off. But—better hopes next time! We are looking forward to spring baseball. INTER-ROOM VOLLEYBALL The games began in the fall with the Juniors on top—namely, “A” team of Room 55—closely followed by the Seniors of Room 58. The games were interesting and very well played. INTER-HIGH VOLLEYBALL Real good teams were entered this year, but although our girls were strong in spirit they lacked the uni¬ form strength of the other schools. Seniors—St. John’s. Juniors—St. John’s. Better luck next year, girls! Private Tuition Matriculation, teachers ’ Certificates, Stc. JAMES HOUSTON, B.A. 122 Ethelbert St., WINNIPEG Established 1906
