Presiding judges consisted of the entire staff of teachers not to mention a guest in the person of Ser- geant Mattusch. The purpose of this meet seemed to be three fold, to make a little Red Cross money at a coke and candy booth, to recognize a new bunch of up-and-coming athletes from the freshman category, and of course appreciating the former ones, to give the cheer leaders and their boosters a chance to get warmed up for coming athletic activities. There was fair play throughout, and casualties were kept at a minimum. All winners and runners-up were available for bus space to London and to be cheer- ed on at Listowel. THE LISTOWEL INVITATION ATHLETIC MEET When it was reported that there would be no Interscholastic Field Meet this year, there was a general feeling of dis- appointment among our scholars. Our spirits soared, however, when we re- ceived an invitation to an athletic meet at Listowel. Our athletes excelled them- selves and came home with top honours. Three schools competed-Elmira, Lis- towel and Palmerston. Elmira won 167 ' a l points, Listowel 131, and Palmerston 62. The Listowel boys captured most points in their classes with a total of 86, Elmira came next with 66 and Palmerston last with 26. Elmira girls made a splendid showing, winning a total of 101 points. Listowel had 4-5, and Palmerston had 26 Our results were as follows: Boys' Events-Juniors 100 yard dash-Harry Eix, second. 220 yard dash-Harry Eix, second . Broad jump-George Snider, third.

OH, PRQFESSQRH --Photos by Forsyth THE CAFETERIA CLUB Shortly after Christmas the Cafeteria Club was organized to provide hot lunches at noon for rural students. This club is operating for the benefit' of students alone, and hot dishes such as baked potatoes, soup and crackers, etc., are sold at a maximum price of five cents. The High School Board has generously supplied us with dishes and cooking utensils. A usually reliable source reports that one of the members of the Home Econo- mics class has committed the major crime of phoning to a local grocery store for a bag of potatoes, all the same size. Included in the order was a re- quest for lk eggs fnot IM dozenj. It is quite possible to grade potatoes- however it is seldom done, but lb eggs --that is certainly inexcusable.

W.O.S.S.A. B MEET On a Saturday morning at seven o'clock We should have started-but that we did not. The alarm clock by Eleanor should not have been kept, For when it went off-the Arnolds they slept. 'Twas one quarter to eight when we finally started, From singing and shouting we never were parted. The time slipped along as though it had wings As we sang about peanuts, and horses, and things. At last the towers of Western appeared, With shouts of Elmira our colours we reared, Then off for our numbers, and programmes, and pins, And ready to iight for our losses and wins. The rain came in trickles, then torrents and sheets, fThis is never unusual for W.O.S.S.A. B meets.l Then Ruth got us off to a Hying good start With a win and a record that would cheer up your heart. Vera Napoleon would not be outdone, Had Ruth not been first then she would have won. So we started off at an outstanding rate, A The number of points now totalling eight. Evelyn and Mary were up on the line, With these two light-footers our chances were fine, But fate stepped in with a terrific thud, Alas! our good runners were left in the mud!
