THE eigrawltzff' X Heralds af Sprztzg 'lihe crocus awoke to find the sun was up. The dew fell softly on the buttercupg The violet lifted her sweet modest head, And rose from out her cold, damp winter's bed. The meadow-lark flew to the sun-dipped sky, His song swelled as he swiftly soared on high. the fairy clouds came out to hear him sing, All earth awoke to find that it was spring. A soft green tinge crept over dales and hills, Through them babbled the streamlets and the rills. The trees spread forth their burdens of green leaves, The moss crept softly o'er the ice-freed eaves. Through earth and sky the spring tlew swiftly by, The sun shone, from his haven in the sky, And through the earth a delicate, misty cloak, Renewed life spread and sleeping things awoke. -Kzfilz Liss, I-lf. Ar Dusk The sun is set, the day is gone. The moon and stars appear. Small clouds are coming one by one, For night is drawing near. Dusk settles o'er the laughing brook, That sang all the weary dayg And the little flowers in the quiet nook Have closed till the first sun-ray. The VVhippoorwill is calling at twilight, In the trees by the laughing brook, And the sunbeams fade at the sight of night, So cast one long, last look. Dusk o'er the hills and meadows falls, O'er t-he ocean, wide and deepg And Mother West NVind comes and call, To bid her children sleep. -Audrey Tipton, II-G. 112

Since the last Hermes was published, the Humberside boys have won the senior basketball, the junior hockey, and the indoor and outdoor track and field championships. Such statements have become so commonplace at our school that perhaps the students fail to grasp the significance of these accomplishments. A championship team must, of necessity, have excellent co-operative material. good coaching, and a fighting spirit, which is most apt to lag at the absence of support. Our attention was drawn to this question of support by a letter from one of Humberside's outstanding athletes. He is wondering if the students are not taking their responsibilities a little too lightly. CWe consider it the responsibility of every Humbersider to make an effort to attend at least the home-gamesj. Gut of curiosity, he perused the records of three or four years ago, and found that the attendance at basketball and hockey games was much greater then than at present. Thus it seems that perhaps the pupils are letting outside attractions interfere with their interest in our sports activities. In each of the last four years, Humberside has won at least two city championships. This speaks well for the organization of our athletics. There are men on the staff who willingly give a great deal of their time in this cause. Mr. R. F. McLellan spends the fall months coaching the junior rugby team. As soon as the season ends, he calls a hockey practice and passes a busy winter coaching the junior and senior teams, and, when the track dries up in the spring, he has charge of all the track and field activities. He is also secretary of the Toronto High School Athletic Association. Such a man would prove invalu- able to any collegiate. Mr. C. S. Patterson, the efficient new teacher and coach, is handling the senior rugby team and both boys' basketball teams. He has quickly adjusted himself to his new position and is making a success of it. Qne of the most faithful of men is our quiet, unassuming Mr. j. T. Norris, who has the well-nigh thankless task of coaching and managing the line but unsupported soccer teams. Although little is heard of them, his boys continue to battle away, always making a creditable showing in the soccer league. ln Mr. L. K. Devitt, who in times past has coached many a championship team in rugby, basketball and hockey, we have a most willing utility man. Although he has retired from many of his sporting capacities, he is still our official optimist. He has also retained contact through the midget rugby team. For several years Mr. E. C. McQuarrie has faithfully and accurately handled our finances. Although of Scotch descent, he judiciously and generously disburses our funds. These are the main reasons why Humberside has a great athletic reputation. They are the best of men and we are proud of them. -Gordon H. Turner. 113
