splendidly proposed by Misses Bingle and Snider, and Messrs. Lockett and Nixon and replied to most capablyg Mr. Petrie acted as toastmaster. Following the banquet. everyone gathered at the Normal School. Beau- tiful flowers and foliages encircled the Assembly Hall platform. At the back of this rose the purple, gold and green rays from the lamp of learning above which stood thte word, Corypheus . Mr. Cowley, the president of the Corypheus. acted as chairman and after a few words called on Dr. McMillan who extended hearty words of welcome to the guests. Dr. lylartin of Stratford than-ked the Hamilton people for their warm welcome and commended everyone on the sportsmanship shown in all activities. A very interesting programme of public speaking and de- bating followed. At intervals the audience was entertained by the girls' chorus from Form Four and the double quartette. The girls' public speak- ing was won by Hamilton and the other two contests by Stratford. After the National Anthem, the guests met in the tea-room. Here re- freshments were servcd by Miss .lacques and her assistants from the table appropriately decorated with tall lighted tapers and spring flowers. Truly. it was a day that will long be remembered by the masters and students of the Stratford and Hamilton Normal Schools. VISIONS OF DELIGHT XYe have lately had strange but delightful visions of two outstanding events soon to come to pass. The scene of the first is laid in the grounds of the flntario Agricultural College at Guelph. lt signifies a happy reunion with friends of London and of Stratford Normal Schools, and the making of new acquaintances from Toronto. According to our powers of vision, the time indicated as most likely for this to occur is about the twenty-ninth of May. XYe expect no trouble in passing through the Ontario Reformatory on the same day. The second scene shows us a rocky and rugged precipice. Paths and rustic stairways seem to wind in and out among the rocksi and, on closer examination, yes, it really is Niagara Glen! The Hamilton students are 'making a day of it at the annual picnic in june, visiting the Xlielland Canal, the Falls, one of the power plants, and several historic spots as well. The vision fades. NYe anticipate with delight the fulfilment of this prophecy. ELLENUR ZUMSTElN. tContinued from Page 375 The final games, held about 5.30, spelled disaster for the boys and glory for the girls. The latter fought a strenuous game throughout to end with the score 18-17, against Toronto. Lil Pinkney deserves high praise for her steadv hurling and, to fool them all, she levelled out a grand homer to win the game. Alas, we now turn to the boys' game! ln the first place, Gord. Neff was crippled by a sprained tendon-but why make excuses? George Wood pitched steadily enough until the third innings and then things happened. Fred Davis relieved NN ood, ,K -JN.--1 .54 , X and Neff was carried offg still the barrage continued. X - X However, the hitting was fairly even throughout, as the score of 23-16 in favour of Stratford shows. In retrospect. don-1 you agree that Stratford needed that pennant more than we?

THE LONDON MEET Une ofthe most anticipated and certainly one of the most enjoyed events nf the year was the trip to London in February. The meet was outstanding for its spirit of friendliness and sportsmanship. Two buses, and two cars driven by members uf the staff, left the Normal School on good time the morning of Saturday the eighth. They arrived somewhat after the time scheduled for the girls' volleyball game in the fore- liiuvll. The llamilton team proved successful in a well-contested game. .Xt noon the students left South Collegiate, the scene of the day's games. for XYong's Cafe. The upper floor of the cafe was given over to the llamilton Normalites. lletween courses, school cheers and songs mingled with an impromptu orchestra in an attempt to bring down the roof. Basket- ball players hurried off lo play the First game of the afternoon. The spec- tators soon followed to cheer on their teams in a series of well-played games. 1 . . llamilton proved successful in all these feats of hrawn. AX flying visit was made to XYestern L'niversity before supper. hlemhers ol the Nature Study Club envied the university its extensive grounds. .X spl enlid banquet was enioved bv students of both Normal Schools at XY:-sley Church. Excellent toasts were proposed and responded lu by vari- nlls members of each school. Song leaders led in stirring school songs and h 1 tw choruses of welcome. r 1 session was held in the auditorium of the London Normal lhe evening Fcllool. Dr Nlark, principal of the school, cordially welcomed the visitors from llamilton. llr. KlcKlillan, our principal, responded with all his cus- tomary wit and kindly courtesy. Splendid musical numbers supplemented a profframme, the main features of which were the debating and public B speaking contests. The debate. Resolved that lnternormal Meets should t be limited to an annual meeting at fluelphn, was won by llamilton, with llelen .lohnson and Edgar Nash upholding the negative side. Sound reason- ing and witty comments characterized these speakers' remarks. .lean Eng- lish ably represented our school in her speech on Kipling, the l'oet of the Empire. The decision was given in favour of the l.ondon speaker. The honours in the boys' public speaking were awarded to Xvilliam XYallace of llamilton. .Xfter refreshments had been served, the llamiiton students set out for home, which, however. was not reached until early next morning because of a heavy snowstorm. NIAXIQ-It ylqlli ILXLLI THE STRATFORD-HAMILTON MEET ,Xt ten o'clock Saturday. Klarch '38, the Stratford bus arrived at the Zion tlymnasium. Some of our students were there to receive the guests. XYhen the llamilton students had assembled, the song leaders from both schools led in a few songs before the games began. r Q lhe boys' basketball teams played the first game. Excitement ran high as the baskets were scored and, although both teams played well, the llam- ilton boys won. .Xfter dinner the girls' basketball and girls' and boys' volleyball games were played. The cheer and song leaders stirred the en- tiff thusiasm of the crowd and urged on the players. ln - these games llamilton was successful and a line spirit of guutl sportsmanship was exemplified by all. XX'e then proceeded to the banquet room which Xlisses Elfreda l'irie, Ruth Smith and Ellenor -. gf, till Zumstein and their committee had attractively dec- orated with tulips. daffodils and candles in the Strat- l-Gfltl if 5' 'll ford and llamilton colours. .X de-icious meal was .' viii- iii' yi I . 4 ' x.,,, L5 ,-,1-f'wffLEf-3-gy '11sg1,35J.j-.
