SPECULA GALTONIA 93 VVhen the whistle blew for full time, t'he 2A fellows received quite a surprise. Thinking the game safely tucked away, in the first half, and not figuring on the last half, they little expected to be nosed out of a victory, by one point. Stan. Lorriman was blowing the whistle, and incidentally, as a referee, would make a good chairman at a Peace Conference. Whenever two boys would start an argu- ment, he would blow the bugle, go over and ruffle their hair, and with a meek cut out the fighting, resume the game. THE T2B LINEUP Perp Clark, Buck Buchanan, Mac McPherson, Norm McCreary, Huddy Walker, Jenny Hugo, and Arn Bur- deng the last two acting as manager, and captain respectively. :Zz :lc al: IN LIGHTER VEIN Mr. Elton- Since I bought that new DeSoto, I don't have to worry about walk- ing to the bank to make my deposits as I used to.

She took him to the skating party of Mrs. Talman Sweet, which was being 'held in Cooper's garden. There he met a Mr. King who accused Mrs. Greening of being a Spy. A Pippin made the maiden blush when he said,- seek no further evidence, just take his Astrakhan cap oi. When they removed the cap they found a Bald- win, not a Spy. HP .. . .. -s -1- H2 has had since school's opening only one social event-the Weiner and corn roast, held at a picturesque spot along the Grand. Great quantities of weiners and corn were consumed by hearty ap- petites and an enjoyable time was spent by both teachers and pupils. Our happiest girl is Mary Currie, Who never appears to be in a hurry. Another member is Grace McCrea, Who never, never will get grey ffrom worryl. Says Mary Mathieson, our tall kid, To Barney her friend, Now lift that lid. Marjorie Kinzie comes from Blair, And you never see Marjorie up in the air. Annie Bond comes in on the Bus, And says if you want a good time, Just come with us. Betty McEwen is full of pep, You should see how Betty can step. Recella Washburn, our Hespelerite, Is one of H2, and a shining light. Marion Smith, our dark eyed lass, Wants to know why and wherefore, oh! my yes. Bernice Lund, who is always the same, Shall some day be a singer of fame.

Z Sportlights INTERFORM RUGBY The rangers, composed of T2, and 4A pupils, carried off the honours, in the Senior Inter-form league, last fall, by defeating the Invincibles. As two teams were found to be tied for first place, at the close of the schedule, an extra game had to be played, in order to decide which was to be the winner of the league. The result was, the Rangers emerged victorious, by a score of 4-0. The position of captain, was ably held by Pete Avison, one of Tech's huskies. He was well supported by Sargeant, Sipes, Walker, Burden, Cation, Bevan, Oliver and Dunn, of T2, and Dietrich, Tutton, Wild, Mast and Margoles of 4A. In the deciding game, the kicking and plunging of Romy Dietrich, played an important part in the victory of the Rangers, as did the tackling of Bevan, and the end runs by Mast. Tutton, playing the position of quarter- back, proved himself quite capable of the task of leading his team-mates into the plays. 14 Pk D!! JUNIOR The only Technical contribution to the Junior Rugby team, last fall, was in the form of their star plunger, Our Gerald Hugo, from T2B. T. Zb Basketball Our form has just completed a fairly successful basketball season, finishing second among the Second forms, in the Intermediate Inter-form League. The team turned in its best perform- ance, when they staged a sensational last half offensive, to overcome a seven-point lead, and defeat 2A by a score of 18 to 17. At half-time the score stood 15-8, with 2A on the long end. Then came the rally. The Hugo, Burden and Walker forward line got going, and by swift, sure combin- ation, and some pretty shooting on the part of Walker, managed to creep up, point by point. The effective blocking, by the guards, allowed our opponents, but two points.

94 SPECULA GALTONIA We wonder if the ambition of our two Marys is to supervise a beauty parlor, since the other day they were found ex- perimenting in the art room, during Miss Fraser's absence. :3 ak :iz We are still trying to decide if Mr. El- ton won the war by Toleration. at 2? vie DO YOU LIKE GOOD BOOKS? Great activity was being experienced in the vicinity of the Mill on the Floss and Kenilworth castle for within two weeks' time the great Vanity Fair was to be held. The Lady of the Lake was busy clean- ing the House on the Water for she ex- pected guests. She was assisted by her newly adopted sons, Ben Hur and Tom Sawyer. Rolf of the Woods, The Deer- slayer and the Pathfinder were engaged in hunting deer and partridges. All the Little Women and Good Wives in the vil- lage were occupied with various occupa- tions. Some were busy sewing, others baking, while a number of them carefully watched their children who were to com- pete in the baby show. They engaged Evangeline, Flora and a Girl of the Commune as assistants. The Virginian looked after the horses for the shows, while The Cattlenien attended to the cattle. The Twelfth Night after the fair had been announced Cheviot the Jester aroused the villagers with loud yells of, After the 'Green Eyed Monster, for David Bal- four had Kidnapped Tom Brown and run off in the direction of St. Ives. They gave chase but were forced to stop because of the Barrier, provided when an Avalanche slipped down the mountain-side, wiping Tom and David of the map. The day of the great fair came at last. Old Mother West Wind blew softly, and the sun shone brightly. The animal shows attracted the most attention. Beautiful Joe carried off the honours in the dog-show, Bonnie Prince Charlie in the pony-show and Black Beau- ty in the class for saddle hores. Wildfire won the admiration of all in a bucking contest. Ruth Fielding in the Saddle per- formed thrilling stunts on her horse and checked a Thundering Herd of runaway cattle. At the same time King Lear and The Merchant of Venice were being acted in the opera house. In another building Silas Marner was telling how he rasied Eppie, followed by the crew of the Hispaniola engaging in a mock fight. In still another building, Lorna Doone had the Knights of Charlemagne dancing an Irish Jig, fol- lowed by pictures of Arabian Nights in the City of Pleasure. , After all was over, a sumptuous repast prepared from recipes from The Cana- dian Cook Book, was held.
