Vance Ward Editor-in-Chief John Dingmgre Dick MacKenzie Managing Edifgr Assistant, Managing Editor Bob Kearney Ralph Shackell Ralph Swoine Associate Editor Secretary Treasurer Advisor Our policy this year has been to try to incorporate into 400 pages, all the major campus functions which havj taken place in the academic year. As a result, more than a 150 pages have been set up as a campus diary whic . we hope will appeal to the undergraduate student as well as to the student in his graduating year. We, ot the Managing Board, would like to thank all those who have helped to make this year's Annual a success. Not only those whose pictures appear above, but also the many people who have made up the sale: statt, the proof readers, and all those who helped in general. 10

Annual Events WHICH OCCUR ANNUALLY AT THIS AND EVERY OTHER COLLEGE. SPECIALLY WRITTEN FOR THE ANNUAL, ANNUALLY BY STEPHEN LEACOCK THE ANNUAL DEF ICIT! The trustees of the University have just announced at their annual financial meeting a deficit for the year of over a quarter of a million dollars. The Chancellor has stated to the press that he does not know how the college can find the money and the Principal has made a public announcement that he for his part has no notion how the deficit is to be met. Yet neither of them seem to be worrying. There is a general impression among the students of the first year that the college will have to close down in April. But the senior students have no hope of it. They've been fooled before. THE ANNUAL BENEFACTOR! It is announced that the entire deficit will be taken care of by a graduate of the university who does not wish his name to appear. Meantime the authorities are trying to convey to the college at large the stern impression that the deficit must never occur again. ANNUAL GALAXY GRADUATE! It is recognized that the outgoing fourth year represent this year an agglomeration of brains and brilliance not seen on earth since the age of Plato. ANNUAL INEPTITUDE OF THE FIRST YEAR! But this year the fresh class typify a feebleness of intellect which to the older students marks the first stage of the decline of the university. ANNUAL LOSS OF THE FOOTBALL CHAMPIONSHIP! It is felt this year that our loss of the championship in college football was not, as in all other years, due to any lack of merit, but solely to a set of the most extraordinary accidents, chances and coin- cidences which could never happen again. ANNUAL PRESSURE OF NUMBERS! It is acknowledged on all hands that the sheer number of students in the college has reached the point of suffocation. In the Arts Faculty there is hardly standing room and many of the lectures, it is said, are being held on the roof and in the basement. The Dean, however, announces a firm and drastic policy of exclusion under which no student shall come in without an 80 per cent mark in the examination, a weight of 180 pounds avoirdupois and four quarterings for eight- eighthsl of noble birth. If that won't clean out the college, he will find something that will. ANNUAL SIGNS OF PROGRESS! Students' serious misdemeanors in discipline, increase 50 per cent, books stolen from the library, 55 per cent, absence from classes, 60 per cent, failures in examinations, 65 per cent, and with that a few other things such as the annual fire in the buildings, the annual five year reunion of the graduates, annual irreplaceable loss by retirement of senior professors, and the college moves on along the avenue of time, annually changing and never changed.
