Hadrian was a Roman Em- peror, Greek at heart, who at- tempted to restore Athens, and carried away the most glorious statues to his home at Tivoli? - Nora Fetherstone DEI Greek Superstitions Everyone has his pet supersti- tions, but how strangely different they are from one another! It is interesting to compare our modern superstitious to those of the ancient Greeks. To them shooting stars were omens of disaster, in this enlightened age of astronomy, we are able to give an explanation of the shooting star, so that it does not seem mysterious, and yet do a wish when the first at night, and if one stars for seven nights dream of one's future we not make star appears counts seven does one not life partner? Jupiter was heard in ' the thunder, and his wrath was loosed in lightning.

The ancients had moon wor- ship, with its night cantations and magical rites. Wle don't go in for moon worship but the moon does lend a romantic atmosphere to any scene, witness nearly any jazz tune of the present day. 4H6IF77 Elliott UI On Catching Boats Two travellers sat idly waiting for the Aegina boat due in three- quarters of an hour, and com- mented on the elegant appearance of a white yacht riding at anchor. Suddenly one traveller exclaimed, Can that possibly be the Aegina boat? Some bystanders' heads nodded affirmatively and the two alarmed people hastily boarded the yacht as she was a ready moving, half an hour before her proper time for starting. Local steamers some- times draw up alongside the wharf, sometimes in mid-harbour or even in mid-ocean. All one can say, as a guide to fellow travellers, is, that there is always some one who son is always wrong. -Nora Fcflzrrstorzv EJ Mount Lycabettus The first thing one sees coming toward Athens from the sea is Mount Lycabettus. A person un- acquainted with Greek geography might think it was the Acropolis. It takes about two hours to climb the mountain on the rocky road. On the summit there are a monas- tery and a cafe, the administration of which is so curiously combined that some religious fanatics might consider the result shows lack of reverence for sacred things. EU Melons of Argos Huge green melons are grown in Greece, especially around Argos, where they are ten and twelve inches in diameter. They are served almost every meal while in season. A -- A

Gymnastics in Denmark Continued from page 78 In 1934 one need not use mere words to convey the hold gymnastics have taken on the people of Denmark. In the town of Ollerup in Denmark there has been erected an ever- lasting and living monument in the form of the Gymnastic High School of Niels Bukh. There two hundred and fifty girls are trained for three months every summer and two hundred and fifty boys for five months every winter. Fifteen years ago Mr. Bukh began with fourteen stu- dents in a dilapidated old barn. To-day his school includes dor- mitories housing the majority of his students. a perfectly equip- ped gymnasium, two huge swim- ming pools, one indoors and one outdoors, a closed stadium large enough to seat ten thousand people and an outdoor stadium where the whole two hundred and fifty gymnasts can work with perfect ease in warm weather. In the school corri- dors, around the outdoor pool and at the entrance to the sta- diums are beautiful reproduc- tions of the sculpture of Greek athletes, many of which have been loaned to Mr. Bukh by the State in order that they may be in their rightful setting. These buildings stand in the midst of acres of beautiful gar- dens and green lawns with pic- turesque ponds and rambling rockeries. Gymnastics in Den- mark have made such a thing possible. -Marian Henderson N 7 . . as I9 - Queen 5 U nwersxtp fx ' 1 .

THEN AND NOW IN DEBATING Did you know that: . . . there was once a men-teachers' de bate? . . . there have been sixteen debates at Central already, this year, and that Frances is the third of the clan to re- present Central in Wossa debates. VVossa debates were not always home and abroad? You either sent a team away or entertained, not both-and if you got a one sided subject you were simply out of luck or not as the case might be. Debates were usually held at night. The leader of the affirmative had the only rebuttal speech. ' Helen Higgins who was debater and orator for Central last year is now debating for Alma College?

Ffa FIC? Continued from page 48 number of Howers and orange trees render the surrounding of this spot worthy of its remarkable beauty. Versailles was the scene of many gorgeous fetes. It was the play- ground of the nobility. Plays and musical comedies were enacted there. Great balls, hunts, all man- ner of games seemed to follow each other in quick succession. A gay, aimless life was the order of the day. It was little wonder that the starving peasants hated the court so bitterly. The palace itself was colossal, built to accommodate ten thous- sand people. It contained wonder- ful portraits of all the great epics in French history, for Versailles is in reality a marvellous memorial to the lives of Louis XIV., XV., and XVI., their queens and their mis- tresses. It is the product of the wealth of a monarchy which starved its peasants and pampered its nobility. Nevertheless it is one of the marvels of the world, a sight which any visitor to France should never miss. -Peggy Stratton
