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.

Hamilton Arthur Seaby, Bud Lindsay, Marvin Faryon A Souvenir And please translate that, “reminder,” not “remembrance.” We hereby put in a few lines to remind Grade XI that there is a goal, a special one, to make at the end of the year. Interested in Maths ? Alright, now’s your chance. That scholar¬ ship of Mr. Godfrey’s to the student winning highest honors in Grade XI Maths, comes due at the end of this year and it includes tuition fees for four years, so do your best Grade XI. And this is a souvenir for the whole school—can you write a short original story ? Mrs. F. W. Hart has given a prize of $5 to the student who can—so do your best, budding authors. We are very grateful to Mr. Godfrey and Mrs. Hart and on behalf of the students we forward a very hearty vote of thanks, A True Sfory Pearl was copying down the names of candidates when, “I move nominations cease,” was heard. (Poor Girl) “Cec. who ?” she said. Irish Oh yes, we are despite the belief that the Scottish heritage is most prominent. Why, who but an Irishman can say this, “sure and if they were all singing like me there would’nt be anyone left,” and we do solemnly assure you that we heard it. Loveable characteristic 1 We wager that it takes the edge off marking papers, Does’nt it Miss Argue ?
