40 SPECULA 'GALTONIA Q LKVJ 9 LEG A - - - - - - - - - - - - LKWJ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 1TH THE CADETSH l IYNMN1VNMN1MX1P6N1VNMYIVB1mYIhiN1P6X1MN1' P6Y1I'6YI ' ' ' ' ' I ' ' Fila By JAMES WARING O other organization in the school, with the exception of the Rugby Club, has made as much progress in fthe last year as the Cadet Corps. Everything is on the upward trend, and many thanks are due Mr. Donaldson for his untiring efforts in bringing the Corps to the present and ever increasing effic- iency. Improvements have been made in every branch. The Stretcher-bearers have reached third place in this district. This is especially commendable in view of the fact that this course is the hardest in the corps, and for this reason the boys de- serve much credit. The Signallers, under Capt. McIntosh and Mr. Appleyard, have made favourable progress, and at the time of this article going to press, results have not been posted. It is known, however, that more certificates will be received by the Signal- lers than ever before. Our band, though lacking in quantity in comparison with last year, lacks nothing in quality and credit is due to Mr. Elton for the standard reached this year. This year's shooting records show a vast improvement over last year, and this goes to prove the old saying, Practice makes perfect. This year for the first time the corps entered t'he shoot for the R.M.C. shield and alttained ninth place in the Dominion. At the King George Cup shoot in Lon- don, We were third in Military District No. 1, and tenth in the Dominion. In this shoot twelve dollars and fifty cents in cash prizes were won by our boys. Howard Lang was second highest individual in M. D. No. 1 and received the W.C.R.A. medal and four dollars and fifty cenlts in cash. This meet is becoming more and more popular every year and each year our school obtains a higher standing. In the Laura Secord shoot We were third. The prize for the highest in each team, a ten-pound box of chocolates, was won this year by R. Martin. The D.C.R.A. is now pending but to date We have received 26 bronze medals, 12 silver medals, and 9 gold, which indi- cates excellent shooting. To date the Corps has had its annual parade to the Fall Fair, annual Church Parade, and the annual Armistice Day Service, and in a very short time we will have the annual Inspection, Banquet, and Dance. Last year one point was awarded for each cadet and this factor alone keprt us from winning the shield. However, our Corps did win the shield given for Physical Training. Inspection day is drawing near and we feel confident that the Corps will do its best and bring the Efficiency Shield to Galt. fy PAGE KARL MARX T'other day Mr. Doig astonished the very innocent Economics class by telling them that capital-plain, ordinary, busi- ness capital-is obtained from .the Sahara Desert. It grows on capital trees and ex- peditions are sent out to get it. And these expeditions are the capital expeditions we hear so much about. You'd be surprised at what you don't know. We always thought capital had something to do with Capitol Entertain- ment! And, speaking of ties, we shall be very pleased to advise you in the matter of colour, material, and any such difficult problem-especially in the case of Christ- mas ties. Apply to the CS girls.

42 SPECULA GALTONIA NOW IT CAN BE TOLD Dunc is our school captain. He plays rugby because he looks nice in a uniform, and basketball so sthat he can get into the game free. In cadets he satisfies his childish glee by waving flags in the air. He looks nice in a Tuxedo but never wears it to school. Loves to dance with all the girls but never sends them Valentines. He likes apple pie, work and Latin but can't get the angle of Trigonometry. If he promises to meet you at eight he will meet you at ten but hates people who are late and never cares for people who tell jokes. Delights in smashing panes of glass and hopes some day to get in a pie- throwing contest. Since rugby season is over he gets more sleep and is now pult- ting on weight. 21134214 A REAL ANTIQUE JIM WARING- Say, George, what are you going to be ? GEORGE CHARLTON- A doctor, Jim. What are you going to be ? JIM WARING- An undertakerf' NOTE:-Suspect as is the vintage of most of the witticisms accorded the hos- pitality of lthese pages, in the case of the jest reprinted above we are upon sure ground. It goes back at least to the first century of the Christian era, and, in its present form, but feebly echoes this couplet of the Roman wilt, Martial: Nuper erat medicus, nunc est vispillo Diaulus: quod vispillo facit, fecerat et medicus. -Epigrams 1.47 Qpublished about 85 A.D.J With some diflidence We hazard the following translation: But late a quack, our friend is turned mortician- Peopling the vaults, as once did the physician. 344412 HOW JOLLY Great Scott! cried Lorna, and Brown added that Shirley she must be right, for Charlton is always Wright and he had said that Kemp had Fallen. Dot Shantz said she rthought it was the Bunk. But Walker while Walking through the Parkes had seen him, and Johnnie while carrying out the Ashes had called Malcolm here and see what I see.
