THE WHISPER 17 Routine motions should be made quickly to get the business finished. When a motion is made, if you have an opinion, express it clearly and help the progress of business in the society. It is to your advantage. In addressing the meeting, introduce your remarks by speaking first to the chairman, as “Mr. (Madam) President or Chairman.” This is correct proced¬ ure and in accordance with good man¬ ners. Common rules of common courtesy should be remembered, viz., silence when someone is speaking, or a minimum of noise at other times. Finally, oh student members, how can the school society be improved ? It is a personal matter and you must help—by your interest, by giving any talent you have, by being as helpful as you can during business discussions, by boosting, not knocking, by airing your troubles at the meeting, not after, and by feeling a real honest-to-goodness pride in the fact that you belong to your society and are pushing it along to the best of your ability.

The setting was as un¬ weird as possible; for Mr. Harris dreamed he was in school ! But the effect on him was even more. For Grace Irwin was studiously delving into “A Biography of Great Men,” while close behind her came Gordon Jackson, with two copies of every one of the texts of Mr. Harris’ subjects. Not only that, but Allan was eulogising on Chaucer with remarkable accuracy, Dorothy Mackay was absorbed in “Pickwick Papers,” the special English class had just finished memorizing “Life of Warren Hastings” and were prepared to memorize the rest of their course. Dorothy Johnson was not only far ahead in her Trig, but was thoroughly enjoying it, and Ruby was engrossed in “Sesame and Lilies”—but why go on ? Do you blame Mr. Harris for awakening as from a dread shock, leaving him unnerved for a month af¬ terwards ? EST-CI Modernize Your Home And Business “USE POWER” The Northern Light Power Co.

THE WHISPER 19 The Collegiate Orchestra Len Faryon, Bud Lindsay, Roy Dillabaugh, Art Seaby, Allan Holden, Marv. Faryon, Ida Thomson The Parting As the graduating class of the Col¬ legiate we stand on the dividing line be¬ tween the retrospect of four years of common Collegiate associations and in¬ terests and a future of more varied na¬ ture. These four years carry with them cer¬ tain responsibilities. These yield a meas¬ ure of value from the standpoints of both present satisfaction and future value, directly proportional to the en¬ ergy put into them. The present satis¬ faction is in no small part due to the en¬ joyment of actual accomplishments as well as to the social features of the par¬ ticular activities. The future value is that responsibilities become as a con¬ sequence easier to assume after leaving the Collegiate, whether we enter pro¬ fessional, academic, or any other line of work. It is said that like greatness some are born with responsibility, some acquire of ihe Wags it and some have it thrust upon them. Whichever way be the case it must ex¬ ist to guarantee success and happiness. Looking toward the future, the march of events in Canada leaves us each year with more varied choices of a career and with more complex and specialized lines of activity to face. Changes in trans¬ portation, industry, politics, education, etc., have come quickly during the past decade. The qualities we develop in acting on committees, managing or otherwise supporting in any way activ¬ ities of athletic or social nature, cannot but leave one better prepared to face world realities in the years to come. “The tissues of life to be we weave with colors all our own, And in the field of destiny we reap as we have sown.” MR.
