28 THE WHISPER T rigonometric Love The sine of love, The cos of love, Cannot be shown by theta, But sighs of love, And cries of love Are heard when you don’t meet her. The tan of love, The cot of love, Are opposite extraction But smiles of maids, In hearts of lads Have often caused distraction. The sec of love, And cosec love, Oppose the sine and cosine. But proof of love, And cure of love Are found in the espousing. R. M. DEWAR Examinations When the last day’s lessons are ended, And the classes all are done, E’er our homeward way we’ve wended, The examinations must come. We’ll sit in our cheery class rooms And gaze, with a puzzled frown, On the questions put before us, Wondering what we shall put down. Then will test of our labour be given And whether or not we’ve worked, ’Twill to those having knowledge be Hea¬ ven, But terror to those who have shirked; The passing or failure, oh masters, Are not the real fruit of the test, But whether or not in our studies, We’ve honestly done our best. R. M. DEWAR Grade XII Comments A nation is judged not only by its government and industries, but by its recreation habits, for, in expressing na¬ tionality, we are expressing personality. Since the greatest building agent is ed¬ ucation, we are giving then, to education, two roles—the development of the mental and of the physical. Games are organized and the spirit of fair play and sports¬ manship which grows out of this, teaches the principle upon which greatness de¬ pends—efficiency and co-operation. Collegiate students hold the key to future greatness within the nation. Phy¬ sical energy applied in organized games, coupled with mental development along the varied lines of the curriculum, a polish of music and fine arts, and the spontaneous buoyancy of youth, produces a balance which augurs well for the coming years of self expression in voca¬ tion.

THE WHISPER 27 Why They Go To School. Austin—How should he know ? But it’s sure great to be president, when a certain damsel he knows is so ap¬ preciative. Ruby—Ruby says it’s to get her Grade Eleven, but Allan doesn’t take that seriously. Grace I.—To add spice to Mr. Harris’ days. Pearl—Oh ! Everybody else is doing it. Russel—He always did like Anita Loos’ books. Leo—To become serious—if possible ? Alice L.—She likes the flavor they use on the exam folios. Miss A.—There’s only one thing worse to do but she hasn’t tried that yet. Marvin—That’s where all good boys go. Gordon J.—He doesn’t agree—but it may be his taste for Latin Authors. Kathleen D.—Oh, well, Dorothea goes. Leonard F.—Good looks must be appre¬ ciated somewhere. Eleanor R.—Basketball and hockey are both pastimes. Teachers Are Those Who. —Ask questions, “wise men cannot ans¬ wer.” —Criticize the text profusely and then refer back to it at every moment of need. —Ask you to prepare a lesson for next lecture and then don’t take it up for a week after. —Spend a whole week, and give us five hours homework on a certain subject and then inform us that it is not important and quite possibly won’t be on the exam. —Have every night dated up and yet want to know the next day why we’re so dumb. —Think their subjects are the only im¬ portant ones we are taking and that cor¬ respondingly, theirs is the only home¬ work we have to do. Roy, being pursued by a policeman, took refuge in a grocer’s shop and beg¬ ged the grocer to hide him. The gro- ceryman, remembering the times he played Hallowe’en tricks, hid him in a sack leaning up against the counter. The policeman rushed in and asked the whereabouts of his man. The reply was that no man had entered there. “Why, what’s in this sack ?” asked the officer ? “Oh, that’s broken glass,” was the re¬ ply. The officer sharply kicked the sack. There was a sharp thud and a faint voice heard to murmur, “tinkle, tinkle.” HENNING’S TEA ROOMS Ice Cream and Soft Drinks Everything in Confectionery Fresh Fruits and Vegetables All Cigarettes and Tobaccos Light Lunches that Delight —Near the Theatre- Grand Ave. Indian Head
