THE SUN GOD'S LAST GESTURE lctlllfillllflll from payr oO.l Hanging low in the heavens in a last des- perate attempt to warm the frigid North, Old Sol is pouring out his rays with glorious in- tensity, rays which cause the chopping sea of ice to sparkle like a sea of floating dia- monds, rays which fill the hearts of the Es- kimos with fleeting warmth and gladness. The Eskimos break into a long wailing chant because their mighty God is sinking rapidly into the depths of the sea. The waves below him dance and splash with glee as they think of another victory over the great god. Once more they are going to swallow him. The gods glory is waning and the golden ribbons fade slowly, then die. Suddenly with- out warning Old Sol takes his final plunge and is lost in the seething waters that roll and tumble victoriously as they devour him. The prostrated Eskimos wail their farewell prayers to the extinguished god and shiver with the fear of seven months' darkness. lk its bk Illr.

The preliminzlries of all the field events, such as the jumps, discus throw and shot put were run off successfully in the school yard. to save time in the finals. The regular Track and Field Day was held in May at the Broadview Y. M. C. A. Track, and a large number of spectators attended, even though it did rain part of the time. After the cheers of the last event had died away. and the score keeper had made a final sur- vey of the points, the following were crown- ed champions: Swnior Lorne Maclntyre 1l1l'l'?'lI7t'fl'ftIft' Jack Steen Jmzior Michael Anthony This year we should like to see more boys kneeling x Mcconnen R Comm W Cochrane turn out for early training, and more enter ol d A Kiel-Iv tt C B k H C C t , . rer the 1907 field day events.

Now. no exposure of longer than 10 seconds is neces- sary. and most pictures can be taken with an exposure of from IXZS of a second to 2 seconds. The superpanchromatic or speedy til requires only lg the time for Plenachrome or Yerichrome films, and Vi the time for the slow Regular film. A summary of the merits and costs of these three methods of indoor photography follows: Phototlash: Costly ll5c for each bulb, good for only one exposurej, but with it you can take tine group pictures, and even most action pictures indoors. The pictures on page 55, Four Balls of lYool , Study Period , and Employment Conference were taken with Flash Bulbs. Phototlood tOrdinaryl and Photoliood tNo. Zl: Cheap. The Ordinary Phototlood will give brilliant illumination for about 40 pictures tit will burn for a total of 2 hoursj, while the No, 2 gives twice the illumin- ation of the Ordinary H500 wattsl and Ninety-two will burn for o hours. The prices are 2Sc and 50c each respectively. With the No. Z Bulb, snapshots can be taken with a box camera. Now you can't say the photo-supply experts havent come half-way to meet youf lf you want to take indoor pictures by daylight, this is possible with any kind of camera, and is quite easy. All it requires is that you take an experimental roll or two in advance with the camera you intend to use. Once you have gained the experience this will give, you are ready. with the help of an exposure table, for any indoor assign- ment. The pictures Corridor , The Master- piece , Saturday Bath , and Going Down- stairs? were all taken in the school by natural light, Don't forget, you box-camera users, that the principle employed by a 5200.00 camera is just the same as that used in yours, and that, if you have a box camera with a good lens, your pictures will require a little longer exposure, but may equal or surpass in interest and genuine picture value the results of the former, wherever taken, indoors or outdoors. May I offer, in closing, two further sug- gestions. To each camera user reading this. I would like to say-First, if an exposure rec- ord of some sort kept over a period of a year of each of the pictures you take, especi- ally of those experimenting along new lines you will notice a swift improvement in your camera sense and judgment. And finally, if in doubt as to whether a picture is possible or not, try it. The modern camera, loaded with modern film, is a fine instrument, and, if you will give it a chance, will surprise you by its ready adaptability to many of the most unfavourable conditions. Use your camera more! 7 Yictims of the latest 'flu epidemic should pity Mr. Roosevelt, Poor man! Hes had a code in his head for the last four years. S- Pk PF illr.
