structure of steel towering twenty-five stories in the sky. The other tower is on the island and the rocket double-decker cars run on cables from one tower to the other. One car holds forty passengers. Going down the midway once again, we come to the Belgian village, which depicts the progress of the Belgian people in the last hundred years. The inhabitants of the Moroccoan, which we see next, are busily selling the wares of their country, and the Oriental village is much the same, with the exception of a few cabarets. The Streets of Paris show the life of the Parisians, and the famous and much-dis- cussed Sally Rand fan dance is shown here. From here for quite a way down the midway there is nothing more of great interest except Ripley's Believe It or Not Odditorium, where many of his strange freaks are on display. Farther on down the midway we come to the General Motors Building. In the General Motors Building all the gasoline- driven vehicles made by the aforesaid company are on display. One of the main points of interest of the Fair-the Chev- rolet assembling line-is situated here. The making of a Chevrolet automobile is shown from start to finish. They start with the lattice-work on the roof and then put on the body and build around it. A complete automobile is turned out every twenty minutes and, when they are fin- ished, they are driven off the lot under their own power. Across from the General Motors Building is the Chrysler Building. The Chrysler Building is much the same as the General Motors Building except for the assembly line, and the proving grounds for automobiles. Barney Oldfield, the noted race track driver, is in charge here, and at practically any time of the day one can see automobiles being tested. A short way down the midway is the Travel and Transportation Building. This building depicts the progress of locomo- tion in every line for the last century. Shown there are the newest and oldest automobiles, airplanes, steam engines, locomotives and box cars. An interesting sight is the 320,000 Duesenburg automo- bile. It can attain the speed of 104 m.p.h. in second gear and 140 m.p.h. in high gear. It has a dashboard in the back seat the same as in the front. There are also SOUTH C. I. two radios in this luxurious automobile. The Travel and Transportation Building is one of the most interesting buildings at the Fair. This is the end of the midway. It is very late in the night, but still we have seen only a small portion of the Fair, but we are very tired, so we go out at the 39th Street gates, wending our weary but happy way home. -JOHN F.

SOUTH ROOT ERS Where in the City of London can you Iind a better turnout of rooters to a col- legiate game than at a game where South is playing? Every game, rain or shine, win or lose. South rooters are always lined up on the sidelines doing their part for their Alma Mater. Teachers and students may be seen sharing each other's opinion as to the winner or loser of the game. When South is playing away from home lield. the rooters follow the teams. In several of the rugby games this season away from South. the number of South supporters was just as great, if not greater, than those of the opposing team. Our teams. with such support behind them, ai'e able to play with every bit of energy they have, and they turn in a good game, win or lose. Last year our Senior Rugby team went to Sarnia. Many of us will remember that day. It was cold and rained nearly all day. But did that keep us back? Not at all. When the game started at Sarnia, it ,s. j W W, in! 4 ., S M f 9:11 -ras 9-ze J X P A seemed as if half South had followed the team there. We all agreed on the fact that it was the best collegiate game we ever witnessed. Yet again, we also remember the game of South at Woodstock. About fifty parents of South students were down to see that game. Not only that: every student who saw the game was able to be there without missing a single class. We had two periods before nine in the morning and were able to get out at 2.45 in the afternoon. Even though South was beaten, we all think the game well worth the trip. This support is the same for our teams in any branch of sport. Though we don't always win, we know how to accept defeat. Such co-operation on the part of the page forty students is bound to make our school known and respected. -TOM FAUST, V B. RCW DA Ce OC South Collegiate may well be proud of her 1932 Rugby teams, Senior and Junior, they led us to victory over Beck and Cen- tral Collegiates. As a reward of their splendid efforts, lVIr. Graham allowed the Boys' Athletic Association to give the school a Rugby Dance to celebrate. All holders of Students' Activities tickets were invited and the doors were thrown open at eight o'clock on Thursday night, December 27th, the last day of the fall term. The dance was held in the gym, which was gayly festooned with balloons, blown up that afternoon by a few air-minded male inmates with strong lungs. At the east of the gym, on a slightly raised plat- form, a most competent orchestra played sweet music, while from the balcony colored spotlights were thrown on the fioor, giving the whole place a festive appearance. Towards the end of the evening the orchestra stopped and Mr. Dinsmore, appropriately dressed as Santa Claus, handed out dixie cups. At the same time ginger ale and cookies were procurable in the hall, where a temporary booth had been set up. At eleven-thirty the orchestra played t'God Save the King. We had a wonder- ful time and it was a perfect ending to a term of hard work. I think the whole student body showed their appreciation by turning out in such large numbers, and, by the way, it dominated their com ersations for some weeks. We haven't forgotten, even now, what a marvelous time we had, nor how indebted we are to the boys for giving us such a party. We only hope that this year they will repeat their eiorts and give us another evening of similar entertainment. -MARY D1LLoN, IV B. THE ORACLE
