Glebe's Olympic Hopes T THE time of going to press, the members of the Canadian Olympic skiing team have not been chosen. The showings of Johnny Fripp, and Gene Heggtveit, two of Canada's out- standing blade experts, warrant places on the Olympic roster. School examinations, and local financial embarrassment, inter- fered with their partaking in the Dominion Championships at Fort William, still, their excellent displays in all Eastern Canadian shows, and United States Divisional Tourna- ments, gives them that necessary touch for Olympic qualifications. The experience they have gained from international competition, plus the honours they brought to Ottawa and particularly THE GLEBE leaves but one course open for the Olympic Skiing Committee. Towards the middle of the season, they were hailed by leading sport's writers as the greatest interscholastic combination in North America. At the close of the season, when they were defeating Inter- collegiate and National Champions, they wtefeulabelled Les Canadiens Incompar- a es . Our ski team has made a grand slam in Interscholastic skiing for the second year- hats off to the boys-they have left no doubt in Canada or United States as to their grand ability, courage and sports- manship J. MACL. Pkflffk The Skier I climb no more but rest on ski Upon the summit of the trail That winds far down 3 now I am free To spread my wings and swiftly sail, A fleeting figure through the snow, My destination-points below! I start quite slowly,-gather speed, Faster still-I do not heed The dangers of the turns ahead 5 A thousand thrills pass through my head. I stem a turn, my balance true, I catch my breath but am not through Twisting, dipping, seldom straight, The trail leads on, then comes a gate And off across a Held I glide Slowly, slightly still I slide, Until beside a hedge I stop And look with wonder at the top.

LITTLE SVVITZERLAND'S THE HUMDINGERH Pholo by Paul H orsdal LUX GLEBANA F ri cl a y by Edna LeSueur HEN anyone mentions Friday, one's mind immediately pictures the be- whiskered old gentleman described in Robinson Crusoe, but Friday, to count- less numbers of harassed youngsters, takes the form of an angel, a guardian angel. Think of a world of raving high school stud- ents! Think of a world of maniacal, screech- ing students! That is what this universe would be like, if it were not for the guardian angel Friday. Picture a person, John, utterly woe- begone, weary, disconsolate from the tense endurance of a dignified Monday, a dis- gruntled Tuesday, a dismayed Wednesday, and a tearful Thursday, arising at eight o'clock, one sunshiny Friday morning. Hu-' rrah! John says, stretching himself with a catlike agility. No more school after to- night . He does a little Irish jig Cin honour of good old St. Patrickj, and even manages to whistle as he tussles with his clothes, the latter emerging the loser. Now for a good breakfast to start the day right. Mother, John yells Cneedlesslyj downstairs, I want a breakfast of grapefruit, scrambled egg, bacon, toast and coffee. Are you sure that's all? responds his mother, a sarcastic edge tinging her voice. You seem in good spirits to-day. No wonder, to-day is Friday, the boy replies. Once downstairs, he trots to the table, swallowing whole a thin slice of left-over cake. When the breakfast has been suc- cessfully gorged, John grabs his books, and rushes off to school, noticing it is ten to nine. Reaching the assembly hall at one minute to nine, he stretches himself in his seat to relax. In a fog he hazily hears the order Assembly dismiss, and regretfully removes his manly form from the chair. First in his order of time-table, comes French. Once nicely settled, John opens Capitaino Pamphilof' and stares vaguely down on the pages of wisdom. Am I ever going to have a swell time to-night, with the gang, he says to himself. Suddenly startled, he hears his name. Yes sir, John falteringly answers. But unfortunately for our brave hero, he had no more idea of the question than the wood in the woodshed.
