At nine o'clock we set out with our guns and haversacks, dressed in our old clothes, and wear- ing rubber boots. Our first experience was in a large field, I1 jack- Seventy rabbit hopped up in front of us when we were not prepared, and as a result he reached the hedge safely. At last we reached the bush, where we separated, making a large circle. We had not gone far when I heard the sound of two dis- tant shots, then I heard a yell, which meant that I was to be on the lookout for the jack which my com- panion had missed. I had not waited long before a large rabbit came into view. I took the safety off my gun and moved slowly and silently upon my quarry. After getting as close as I dared, I took careful aim and fired, and to my sur- prise I missed him. Away I went after him, falling, tripping and going through ice and snow banks. At last the jack came to a stop, I stopped and took aim. just then a branch fell from the tree, causing the gun to go off, and frightened the rabbit. This was enough for me. So I reloaded my gun stood still and waited Along came a rabbit and another one joined it on its mad dash for freedom. Such a chance came once in a lifetime-two rabbits at once. I was so overcome at the sight that I became nervous and the gun went off and killed the two rab- bits and one behind a tree. 1 LEO THE FLEA Rose Long, 3Sl HE moral of this story is- Always let a flea have its own way, it may be going to visit another flea. Leo was a handsome lit- tle fellow, but he was not very wealthy. He lived in an attic room on Ted, the mongrel's, back. He was very much in love with a delicate young flea, named Flora, who was very well educated and had dis- tinctive breeding. She lived with her snobbishcparents in a palatial mansion situ- ated under the left arm of the famous and prize-win- ning Alsatia,n, called Lady- smith, but with their man- sion on such ia titled piece of property, why shouldn't Flora's parents be uppish? Well, as the story goes, Leo buried his pride in Ted's back, and went out to woo Flora. Her stern parents caught Leo just as he was climbing Lady- smith's front leg. With much abuse, Leo was order- ed to leave Ladysmith and never to darken her front leg again. So, broken in heart and spirit, he crawled quickly home. Five days he spent in anguish, until he became so thin that even Ted didn't bother to scratch him off anymore. Then one day Leo set forth again, swearing that he'd win his love or die, and so wthile Ladysmith was ta.king her afternoon nap, he crawled up her nose, over her ear, across her shoulder, and around her left arm. There was his lady love tightly bound with hair, in an upstairs room. Rage sent Leo into such a fit that he became insane, and biting Lady- smith until she jumped up, he rushed to the top of her head, and committed sui- cide by jumping one foot and nine inches to the floor. Poor Leo! OUR STENOS EASTERN ECHO

NVell, here's its eventful history up to the present: Back in 1932, SB had a Sunshine Colyum on the side board, edited by Ben Sugarman and Norm Mc- Dermott. The events of the day were recorded and if a student lost grace with the teacher he found his troubles published and com- mented upon. SB had an unsuccessful debate with the Special Class, which de- bate showed signs of con- tinuing in the Sunshine Colyum. Mr. Keast walked in and decided that for the present it would be best to have an eraser applied to the journal. Later the idea of a Sunshine Colyum was used as a school news system. That fall Ben Sugarman organized the Echo Bulle- tin. Mimeographed sheets, containing a resume of the school news, were circulated every Friday morning. Bill Anderson tossed in a con- tribution. Miss Robertson very kindly prepared the stencils and Miss llay mimeographed them. These weekly publications created such interest that it was decided to have a lnnnor- ous Bulletin in the Echo. This year's Echo lloard unanimously decided to continue the Bulletin. The Commerce Central Banke- otherwise known as the Students' Councilnfinanced the work. liven the Staff saw its value in advertising EASTERN ECHO debates, basketball games and special programmes. The Bulletin is very cap- ably operated by Bruce Matthews and his Associ- ates. Ben's ideas were also suc- cessfully applied to the Echo: forn1 news, columns and head lines are innova- tions of his. He is now working full time in the Promotion Department of the Toronto Daily Star and, as this issue shows, still has time to show his affection for the Echo. So Ben, may we extend to you and your co-workers, Norm McDer- mott and Bill Anderson, our heartiest greetings. VVhat more can we say than that the Bulletin you started is growing daily in popularity. As to form news, last year 27 forms contributed and glimpse how many are on this ycaris roll. uve hereby nominate you tihief Scribe of the Bulletin and hope you are enjoying yourself in the Business lVorld.
