AS PLANNED I think you will admit, sir, that the quality of my work during the last five years has been such that other students of the institution find it rather difficult to reach the standard I have set. I speak more in pain than in anger when I say that it has been a matter of profound surprise to me to note that you have not seen fit to acknowledge my value to the institution by giving me a timetable suiting my own personal wants. I think that I may say that I have been patient. I have con- tinued my efforts with unremitting zeal, and I think that I may Hatter myself that my endeavours have not been without result. Many stu- dents of this centre of learning have faithfully followed the example that I have set, and have therefore improved greatly their attitude toward school activities. I am sorry to have to force you into a decision but I think I owe it to myself to say candidly that unless you see the matter in the same way I do, I shall feel obliged to go to someonein a position to give me exactly what I desire in the way of a timetable. vi: rk :if AS DELIVERED If you are not too busy, sir, there is something I would like to speak to you about. In fact, the truth of the matter, in fact, is exactly- well,sir, I was precisely wondering whether-ofcourse I know this is a bad time-but to tell you the truth, sir, I have been wondering - of course it is just as you think best and I wouldn't think of insisting, but after all, perhaps I have made a mistake in mentioning it, but I was thinking that possibly you might bear in mind the idea of a new timetable for me at some future date.

60 THE REVHEXX! Peters Failing Mmm Rome ETER CRANDALL'S greatest failing from early boyhood had been his memory-or lack of memory. He forgot everything-dates, anniversaries, birthdays, and faces, and once he had forgotten his own name. Thanks to the efficiency of his secretary, Miss Leon Craig, Peter got along very well in business affairs. She made all his appointments and saw that he kept them. This success in business gave Peter the very brilliant idea of having her similarly take care of his personal affairs. Therefore, they made up a complete list of Peter's relatives and friends with their addresses, birthdays and likes and dislikes as well as their peculiarities, if any. It was part of Leon's daily routine to remind him of any special occasions connected with these people and remember them suitably. Barbara, his wife, noticed a decided improve- ment in his memory but was fortunately unaware of the cause. Because Barbara, who had been the chief sufferer from his mental lapses, was a bit jealous of Leon, Peter decided to say nothing of this new and successful arrangement. One morning with a clear conscience and easy mind, Peter entered the breakfast room, and stood his golf bag against the wall. Good morning, Babs, he beamed cheerfully. 'lVIorning, she returned briefly. I can see that you have had no trouble remembering what day this is at any rate, Cwith a sardonic eye on the golf bagj. Peter's sudden slight rremonition of trouble was reassured by the thought of his personal Hle at the office. l'Oh yes, I remember, my dear, he said aloud, but I thought you wouldn't mind if I played golf this afternoon-or can I do something for you? I don't think so, his wife replied rather curtly. You would only be in the way, but remem- ber, I will never forgive you if you keep dinner waiting. I have so much to do today as it is. While Peter drove to the office, his thoughts were busily engaged in trying to recollect just what day it was, but he was no nearer a solution when he arrived. Immediately, he rang for Leon but, to h-is consternation, there was absolutely nothing listed on his personal memoranda for January 24. In the rush of the morning's work his worries slipped into the background, but returned when his golf partner called for him. Together, they thought up a foolproof plan to save Peter's skin and went off to their game in high spirits. At nearly seven Peter remembered that Bar- bara had said Udinner on time. He was almost home when he remembered that he had brought neither Howers nor candy to square any lapse of memory. After much skirmishing around, Qfor most shops were closedl he arrived at his apart- ment an hour and a half late. A bit hesitantly he rang the bell, for as usual, he had forgotten to take his key. No answer-he rang again-still no answer. The voice of the janitor interrupted his horri- fied musings. l'Good evening, sir. Mrs. Crandall told me to give you this note, if I saw you here. Peter thanked him and, after lengthy deliberation, got up sufficient courage to open the note. Dear Peter, he read- If, as usual, you have forgotten, Imightjust remind you that this is the day we move, and if you want any dinner, come over to the new address, 325 West Fifth St. Next morning a moving day card was added to Peter's personal files in the office. 0 Q The FlMSf'L of Morn z : Emily E. Moore Honourable Menlion. A hazy mist o'erspreao's the sky, The flush of morn is redalenfng The eastern lzeazrehs glow: The sun peeps o'er the hrlls: Ont on the h-ifls, alone I lie, And down at the joot of a rocky steep And wulrlz the morning grow. Is the ripplmg rush of a rfzill.

Tl-IE REVIEW When I Set Out for C. C. I. MARION FACEY III. Year When I set outfor C. C. I. About eight blocks away, The frost was in the air. And hydro lit my sleepiness W'hen I set outfor C. C. I. About eight blocks away. What would bechance at C. C. I . While I was 'working' there. No teacher dare declare Nor did the wisest parent guess W'hat hours were spent in idleness While I was fooling there. Iflfhen I came back from C. C. I. Witli nonsense in my head Al y friends all sadly said All knowledge learned was dead, When I came back from C. C. I. With nonsense in my head. ae wk Pk TI-IE SOO If you are travelling for pleasure If you are traveling for fun If you are travelling at leisure Or to make a little A'mon. If you want to die in transit Before your trip is through You never need to chance it- Get a ticket to the Soo. They run all trains at midnight Because they think it pays. They never run by daylight And never on week days. The train they call the passenger Is laid out for the freight The conductor sends a message To say she's two days late. I once drove into Fessenden Some time in early june. They said the train was due there then But might not come 'til noon. She did not come at all that day I asked the agent why. He said he really couldn't say. There'd be one in july. I drove to Harvey for Sunday rest. My livery I released. But Monday trains do not go west Saturday none go east. Two days I stayed-I hate to tell, I swore 'till the air turned blue, I'd go to L. in ai diving bell Before I'd take the Soo. -Anon.

Oh dear, the bell rings on the dot And here is hoping my cofee's hot. There goes the bell aringing eight, Where is that Latin that I hate? Eight-fifteen says St. Paul's clock, And I see the girls all in a flock. I get my books in such a hurry When I arrive I 'm in a flurry The bell starts ringing and school has begun Out with books and away with fun. English first and then P. E. Next the subject I never could see. French, of course, and then we hear, A speech or two from a teacher I fear That subject History will come next Then is Botany I 'll be vexed. Then out of school the gang will flow And I'll see a lot of kids I know There's Slick and Dick and Jack and Bill: On the other side there's Jean and Phill, But who could that be playing tennis Why, don't you know, it's Harry Dennis. Then out to lunch the same old thing Something else why don't they bring Up from the table I grab a book, Open it up and take a look My little alarm says one o'clock I 'll have to go to be with the flock. Then to Latin, Miss Thomson you know Geography next with marks so low. Then is Algebra and I confess When I get in there I 'll be a mess. The bell it rings, and school is done Forget about work and have some fun. Then we have dinner and what a dish To-day is Friday and thus it's fish I go to a show and laugh with glee How happy I am it's plain to see. I turn of the lights and hit the hay Oh well, it's just another day. -Norman J. Whipfler,
