CWHNG CANCELLED T0 LACK UF FUNDS T'HE most startling an- nouncement in the entire history of the City of Toronto was made yes- terday afternoon, when the Bored of Education, after a prolonged session, decided to cancel all ex- aminations in high schools this year. The reason for this drastic action on the I i I part of the Bored of' Education is the present financial situation, the Chairman of the Bored revealed when reached b , Y telephone late last night. 1 Yes, he replied in answer to the query ofi our blundering reporter, it is true that there will be no examinations in high schools this year. A happy feature in the Bored of Education's report is that they have decided to pass all members of the staff of the Eastern Echo with first-class honors without the necessity of trying exams. After a strenuous week's practice, the Commerce Skippers, Hopscotch and Jacks Club entrained for Oakville to take part in the inter-high school chess tournament. The girls showed great form in yes- terday's workout, going through the double dutch, salt, pepper, vinegar, mus- tard, and tatting with faultless ease. WHOA PRESS NEWS ! Peanutrstand overturned!

PAGE 2 THE BULLETIN EASTERN ECHOSTAFF nuns RESULTING from al- leged indignation over the fact that they had enough material on hand to publish a magazine, the editorial staff of the East- ern Echo has resigned en masse. Other causes for the resignation have been set forth in the letter of re- signation, which has been signed by all members of the staff. One of the reasons set out is the action of the Bored of Education in cancelling all exams this year. At a special meeting of the Bored it was decided that because of the low stand- ard of intelligence evi- denced by Eastern Echo writers, they should be promoted with first-class honors in lieu of the written exams. This, it is stated, is against the best interests of the Echo and is not to be thought of. The resignation was prepared at a mass meet- ing in the cellar of East- ern Commerce at a late hour last night, and gives an unconditional resigna- tion if the proposed action is carried out. Fiery speeches by members of the staff featured the meeting. Introducing the matter to the meeting, Bennie Sugarman, with tears shrouding the brightness of his big blue eyes, and coursing down his other- wise benign and genial countenance outlined to l wir The Editor of The Bulletin EASTERN ECHO 1l1l i1 .ls1-1 i N l T i 4 1 1 l 1 l 4 T those present the results of this extraordinary action of the Bored of Education. Boys, he said, many a time and oft I have thought of what would happen if some of the staff were to pass their examinations. What would we fill up the Echo with if all the reporters passed out of the picture? And now they are going to pass us with first-class honors. First thing you know you'll be out on the street looking for a job, and Heaven help you in ade- pression like this. Whatever it is, I second the motion, said Norman MacDermott, ris- ing undecidedly to his feet. And now to take up that collection for the party to celebrate .... What were we talking about? Others then took the Hoor to air their views on the matter, resulting in the resignation of the Eastern Echo staff en masse. That then, dear readers fthe whole of six of youl, explains why the Eastern Echo will not appear this year. Students' Council De- feat Their Own Motion LAST night at the Stu- dents' Council meet- ing, held for a change on the roof of Portable A, the motion, Resolved that all Council fees for the past twenty-five years plus in- terest at 5'7r, compounded daily, should be refunded to the graduating year, was defeated. Before a packed house the debaters delivered their addresses 132 Jones Ave. and 23 Greenwood Av,e.l while hecklers ran riot with tContinu.ed on page sb Pupil Gets Seat On Street Car ONE of the most sensa- tional stories of the year broke yesterday at five o'clock when an egre- gious Bulletin reporter confirmed the rumor that a pupil actually got a seat on a city street car. At the first report of this sensational rumor The Bulletin immediately in- terviewed graduates and members of the staff who failed to understand how this particular student had been overlooked. Mr. Izzie DeShyster, chief track walker, in- formed The Bulletin that as far back as he could remember, and he is a descendant of the U.E.L.'s, no such success had ever crowned a student's ef- forts before. DeShyster did not know if the conductor and mot- orman, who were respon- sible for this precedent, would be fired or not. But late last night in a long- distance telephonic con- versation to Oakville with ifwfillffllllfll on pagr IILQLD One Serious Moment ON this same page last year we said the world is waiting for the sunrise . ' Well, it's still waiting. The darkest part of the storm must certainly be over. We've but to hope and pray that with the advent of spring the longe delayed change will come about. Then will return the incentive to better work. Then will these lean years go down in his- tory as just another de- pression . Till then do yourself and your country a great service-KEEP CHEERFUL!
