Perpetrated by CHARLES FISHER. -o- THE SENIORS April, May and June and then the finals! Three months of school work before, for the majority of us, we will be writing the last examina¬ tions of our school life. It hardly seems possible that three years have passed since we were thinking the same thoughts, worrying over the same subject, as our Entrance Ex¬ aminations loomed large on the horizon. But we passed them, and the regrets over leaving our schools and friendly teachers, the thoughts of having to start school over, as it were, among strangers were soon forgotten. In the same way, many are sorry their school life is over. Even the most anxious to get out of school, loudly proclaiming, “I never liked school anyway,” will, in their hearts feel a few pangs of longing for “good old Tech ' when school days are over. Graduation is the end of a chap¬ ter of our lives and before us lies a new one. Let us, by earnest en¬ deavour during these last few months, prepare for a good com¬ mencement of our next chapter, “Working Days.” Form III.

IN THE MOVIES Ah, to go back to olden days, The days of love and chivalry, When men were men and fancy roamed Gay and Free. I’d be a Knight of the highest rank, Say, chief of all the Gordon clan. I ' d ride the hills and I’d be to the poor Sir Galahad again. My stately form would grace the Hall, Of every noted manor there. And mine the sigh and the downcast eye From the ladies fair. The ministrel boy who sings of his home,

Marks, and as a musician Courtney and Laforet take the cake. A hot stepper is Washington and Overton is some acrobat. You sec we have a pretty good form. -o- T3B. There is: Anderson better known as “Gump” ho with his trusty hockey stick. Sure makes the old puck hump! And Black more, or rather Wally, Where mien and face is always jolly. I hen Briscoe who ' s an awful pest But not any more than all the rest. Or Courtney sometimes known as Carl.
