The proprietor had to wait thirty-five minutes till water could be brought from Ayr to revive her. A goat ate all our other jokes And then began to run. I cannot stop, he softly said, I am so full of fun. -J. M. Sz E. H. 4B THE SAD FATE OF CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS The other day, June 32, 1603, Christo- pher Columbus fnot the Arctic explorerl, who spent a week in Preston last Sunday at the home of his sister-in-law's brother, was suddenly attacked in the van by Cannibals, in one of the dark alleys of that city. As has been mentioned above Christo- pher, as he is sometimes called, was foully placed in a tail-spin by barbarous Preston onions. But he bravely drew his derringer and stabbed the foremost of Caesar's flatfeetg but he was finally forced to bale out in a parachute when his horse was shot from under him. Chris., as he is sometimes called, tried to make a get-away, using two Austinettes for roller-skates, but forgot his shoe horn and was overtaken and tripped by Caesar, leader of the brigands on a tricycle. There ensued a violent argument, in which Col., as he is sometimes called-maintained that Latin should not be taught in High School and Caes. agreed that it should. The. Specula Galtonia begs to inform you that with regard to your letter of the 15th inst, Columb.-as he is sometimes called, carried the ayes in the dispute, who sig- nified in the most unusual manner. Now if you three listeners will stay awhile we will continue with Act. 3, Scene 4: Caesar became vexed at this so he seized Bus.-as he is sometimes called- and attempted to plant him in a sewer but it was too small. After rolling in the gutter for a while Lumb.-as 'he is sometimes called-got up and nonchalant- ly lighting a Murad proceeded to dust 86 the dusty dust off his coat, then said in a deep voice: Unhand me varlet, but Julius thought otherwise and said, I ain't gonna do it. His tribunes then seized Stopher-as he is sometimes called-and carried him in pieces to the enemy's dug- out. Here Caesar and his first mate de- cided upon torture. Top-as he is some- times called fofr short-wqas then rbi-ed down and the radio was tuned to where Rudy Fraser and his Collegiate Synco- pators were playing the Stein Song. Poor Columbus lasted- for exactly 15 min- utes and 42125 seconds, when the agony becoming too great his mind gave way completely and when Caeser entered he was playing You're Driving Me Crazy on a Jew's Harp. The last heard of hapless Christopher he was living quietly in Hamilton and eating Alphabet soup every day so that he could become a man of letters. Pk Dk Pk Mr. MacLennan- Can you tell me a thing of importance that did not exist 100 years ago? MacDonald-NME. Pkvkvk WHERE'S EATON Thompson4 If the ice is as thick as he thinks it is-he's skating, and if it's as thin as I think it is he's swimming. rkflfvk THE LUCKLESS HUNTER The hunter had but little luck, For he was out to shoot a buck. He shot a farmer's cow instead. Worth fifty bucks, the farmer said. -With apologies to Bill Richmond

'PARA 'ru l U L- A PARATUS 5 1 Form News of 3A One day our form was late in getting up to history class. Mr. Hale- Why is this form tive niin- utes late? Miss Sheldon- Please, sir, Miss Mc- Lachlan was late and we had to wait until she had marked the attendance. Mr. Hale- Well, tell her she should trade in that second hand car. fHowever Miss McLachlan may fool us and trade it in for a nice little tri-motor aeroplanel. :1::1::f: ..- This year our form party was a skating party. We certainly picked on a very popular night for it though, because, be- sides us, there were three other forms from our alma mater who seemed to think it an ideal night for a skating party. As we were the favoured form we had suc- ceeded in renting the upper part of the Curling Rink, where we were holding our party and here we met at ten o'clock to enjoy the dainty refreshments fsounds like the social and personal columnj which the girls had supplied. As proof that we-all had a good time, we're eagerly awaiting our next party, where we may learn what happened to all the olives. all ik if In French class one day Miss Carter evidently decided to turn the tables and make us ask her questions in French. The first person she asked was Rolly. After a long pause our great athlete asked Qu' avez-vous l'intention de faire ce voir? But Miss Carter, not wanting to reveal secrets, replied: J'ai l'intention de m'amuse. So George pressed his question no further. IS IT THE FALL FEVER? Sometimes in the fall my fancy Turns to things so very odd, And this year I shall breathe a secret- It's turning to the rugby squad. ,Now you may think it's silly ' And you may think it's queer, But all because of injury I've lost my heart I fear. But, really, it is tragic, And certainly it's not fun To be in a dilemma As not to know which one. 'Cause when I set my affections In any definite way, Another makes a touchdown, And again my fancy strays. For surely it's beyond compare This rugby squad so bold, With anything that's ever been Not e'en the knights of old. But now l'm plunged in deepest gloom, For rugby can but cease, And though my happy days are o'er My heart will have some peace. -And from our form ccmes the captain of the Junior Rugby Team, captain of the Boys' Basketball Team, captain of the Boys' Gym. Team, and captain of the Girls' Gym. Team. Really awfully ath- letic, eh, what? -G. E. Melross. .g. ,C Roelofson thinks that Miss Carter is Scotch because she is always asking for free translations. q 243125: I Now we understand Ilea Lucas' mark in History. Mr. Hale evidently does not approve of loud winks. 2541134 Our Marion Laing has singular powers of attraction. We have Munroe Fraser frequenting the spare room now instead of the lunch room. - Form 3B 3B has been rather unfortunate this parties were con- planned end invi- sent out but that We offer sincerest term as far as form cerned. Several were tations had even been was as far as it went. apologies to Mr. Hale, who cancelled two other engagements to attend one of our parties. We will have to see what can be done about arranging one which will not fall through. 88 We have decided to take up a collection and buy Cartwright a rope as he is very fond of skipping. 2:21:55 Marion Webb seems to have gone wild lately as she has been seen riding around in a Chev. coach.
