READ SkXLlVTON-TTT-A. Oale to a Filling Station The room in darkness lay- In darkness lay the room: And the boy stood on the threshold, Then walked toward the gloom. Darkness closing 'round him, Seemed glad of every chanceg But the boy walked to the table- Vtfith ne'er a backward glance. At length he felt the Thing, Opened it carefully- Then drew one very long, deep breath, And stooped to victory. Closed lid, retraced his steps, , Retraced his steps did he- And when he gained once more the light, He shouted joyfully: Friends, Romans, Countrymen, Ffer thou could scarce count ten- I've walked into that darkened room, And filled my fountain-pen.

VOX LYCEI 25 Our Visitors Visitors are always welcome at the school. This year we have been hon- oured by many who have brought to us various messages. 10-i XYinning teams brought to us three outstanding visitors. Mr. John Murphy, president of the Ottawa and District Lawn Tennis Association, presented the Murphy Cup to our girls' tennis team. To the boys' ski team, which carried off all Interscliolastic ski-ing honours for the fifth time, Mr. C. E. Mortureaux, president of the Ottawa Ski Club presented the Southam Trophy. Shortly afterwards Mr. D. Kirby, president of the Cliffside Ski Club, presented the Kirby Cup to the Lisgar team and the Grey Trophy to john Currie. All these visitors expressed their pleasure at being with us and also the hope of again having the opportunity of returning next year. XVe assure them a most hearty welcome. O1 Last November, Rev. C. G. Hepburn paid us a visit. He spoke about Armistice Day and XVorld Peace. The school was greatly pleased with his address and is looking forward to his coming again. O On the occasion of the presentation of diplomas and prizes, Mr. G. O'Leary, well-known Ottawa journalist, gave the school a most interesting talk on Books and Education, one that in material and presentation was well adapted to his audience. This excellent address is printed in this issue of the Yox. O1 Shortly after the opening of the winter term, Alderman York took time to visit the school that he might tell the sudents about Ottawa's traffic laws. His speech was most helpful to those writing Fisher Essays on this topic. 101 More recently, Miss McGeachy, a Canadian member of the Information Section of the Secretariat of the League of Nations at Geneva, paid us a visit. In a clear and interesting way she explained the work and the objects of this fine organization. Such an address is particularly welcomed by members of the fifth form who are studying world history. 10-l Inspector R. W. Anglin, of the Provincial Board of Education, paid his annual visit to Lisgar on April 7. On the morning of his arrival, he spoke a few words to the students from the platform of the Assembly Hall, expressing the hope that his stay would be both beneficial and pleasant to all concerned. He remained four days and then inspected the Glebe school, Before leaving Ottawa, he returned to us on Thursday, April 17, and delivered a most inspir- ing and much appreciated address, the theme of which was 'Spring and its various Interpretations' K.
