Q8 THE REVIEW A S g f jack Winterbottom tart Ing lscovery NE night, about two years ago, I was visiting my old aunt at her ancient castle in Corn- wall. As she was very old-fashioned, she had retired early, leaving me to amuse myself till bed-time. Accordingly, I sat down in an easy chair before the fireplace, and began to read. The old castle had quite a history, and the musty old volume which I was reading was an account of its checkered career. After reading for about an hour, I came to a part about some jewelry which was supposed to be hidden in the castle. It seemed that a distant ancestor of mine had occupied the castle some hundreds of years before, and that he had amassed a huge fortune. A few years after retiring from public life, he became somewhat deranged, and had shut himself and his treasure up in the castle. He disappeared not long afterwards however, and the folk round about concluded that he was dead. Neither his treasure nor his body were found. As I read this story, I began to feel rather nervous and shaky. However, I was too inter- ested to stop reading, so I read on far into the night. In fact, when I rose to go to my room, I was severely startled by the booming of the old grandfather clock striking twelve. I soon pulled myself together, and putting the book away, I started through the library which led to the stair- case. The whole castle was in darkness and it was some time before I at last found what I thought was the door-knob, but which was really one of the decorations on the wall. As I turned this knob, I was dimly conscious that the supposed door opened with unusual ease. Thinking nothing of this, however, I proceeded through it, but had hardly taken live steps whenAcrash! I tripped over a hard object and went clattering to the bottom of a long stairway.

On getting to my feet, I struck a match, and by its feeble glow I saw at my feet what looked like a pile of rods or poles. Taking a piece of paper from my pocket, I lighted it and looked more closely at the object at my feet. Suddenly I realized what it was and recoiled in horror from the gruesome object. It was a skeleton. Like a shot I was on my feet and up the stairs. I rushed through the open door and reached the scullery at the rear of the old castle before my fears subsided. Here I stopped and, collecting my scattered wits, I went- upstairs to my room and got my flashlight. I then wakened my aunt, and together we returned to the strange door. This time I saw that a panel in the wall was opened and closed by the knob on the wall, which I had turned. On reaching the bottom of the stair, we passed through a long corridor and came at last to a large room. Lighting up the wall of the room with my flashlight, we could see several large chests piled up against it. We went over to one of them and cautiously opened it. We were imme- diately struck dumb with amazement at the sight which met our eyes. The chests were filled to the brim with jewels! Returning to our bedrooms, we attempted to get what sleep we could, which was Very little, and next morning we summoned historical experts to the castle. They were taken to the treasure chamber, where they identified the jewels as my ancestor's treasure. They also identified the skeleton as that of my ancestor who had evidently been trapped in his own treasure-room. The jewels amounted to a huge fortune, which was sufficient to keep my aunt and me for the rest of our days. . : Virginia lnlcsater I do not disapprove of your 'influence Your fatal lure 'is to be envied. Al a glance toward yon, one experiences A feeling of enchantment, On perreiving further, yon are examined, And the gaze is enthralled with fascinationg So, resume your graceful art, charming one And may you profil by your infatuation! 1

THE REVIEW Q7 THE EDITORS' CO VE TIO N November 16 and 17, 1934, the Ninth Annual Convention of High School Editors, sponsored by Sigma Phi, University of Toronto, was held in Convocation Hall, After a welcome and opening address the delegates broke up into groups under an instructor, to discuss the various phases of publishing a school magazine. In these group meetings many helpful suggestions and new ideas were exchanged and in this way we were able to learn what was going on in the other schools of the province. In the afternoon, after two very interesting talks on Advertising and Illustration, we visited Brigden's where many secrets of the engraving business were revealed to us. The Banquet was held in Burwash Hall, where, after a fitting dinner, the prizes were awarded. The Star shield for the best magazine as a whole was won by the Kitchener-Waterloo Grumbler, with the Lantern of Sir Adam Beck C.I., London. second. The prize for the cover design went to the W'estern Technical and Vocational School, Toronto. The Lantern also won the 'Varsity prize for the best layout. First prize in the MacMillan short story contest was won by Ardath Huddlestone, North Toronto Collegiate, but we are glad to know that Miss B. Patterson and Mr. R. Moore brought home the two honourable mention prizes in this division. We congratulate the winners and wish them every success for the coming year. And now we wish to thank Sigma Phi, for the inspiration and splendid time which she aiiorded us, in an effort to create a wider interest in the High School Magazine. Her work, we know, has not been done in vainl -Editor if 5. Left to right-back row to front row.
