THE ELVES AND THE SHOE-MAKER ONCE there was a very good shoe-maker. He lived with his wife. They were very poor One night the shoe-maker said to his wife, I have only leather enough for one pair of shoes I will cut them out and sew them to-morrow But next morning the shoes were finished. They were sold for more than the shoe-maker expected Then he was able to buy leather for two pairs of shoes, and some dinner. The next night he did the same thing, but in the morning the shoes were again finished. These were sold for more money, and he was able to buy leather for four pairs of shoes. The next day the shoe-maker said to his wife Let us stay up and see who does the work. So that night they stayed up. At twelve o'clock two little elves came in and they set to work and in about ten minutes the shoes were finished. Next day the shoe-maker's Wife said I noticed they had no clothes on and they looked so cold. I will make them a little sweater and a coat each and next night instead of leather on the table there were clothes and shoes. When the elves came they were delighted. They put on the clothes and shoes, they danced round and at last jumped out of the window. The shoe-maker and his wife never saw them again, but they were never poor again. And they helped their poor neighbours because they always did that when they had money. ANDREW ERSKINE, 5th Year.

l T HE HIGH SCHOOL MAGAZINE 83 BASKETBALL February 18th brought to a close the basket- ball season at G.H,Si By winning the divisional championship, both our teams earned the right to play off with both the West Hill junior and senior teams for the Inter-school Championship. The play-off games were staged in Victoria gym. Our seniors were beaten by West Hill but our juniors saved the day by winning their game by a high score. Our seniors lost the first game of the season, an exhibition game against Vlfeston H.S.---but were successful in winning all their league games. Our juniors had to play off with St. Lambert H.S. to see who were to have the right to play West Hill. The game was played in Baron Byng gym and our team won. As usual there was keen competition in the inter-class matches. Captained by Janet Clouston, the crack 6A team proved superior to all other teams and were crowned champions with the close of the season. We received a challenge from Sherbrooke H.S., but unfortunately we were unable to accept it. On behalf of all basketball players and enthusiasts, I must thank Miss Watt for the interest she took and the time she spent to make G.H.S. basketball such a success.

INTERSCHOLASTIC SWIMMING CHAMPIONS SWIMMING, 1928-'29 HIS year has been a very successful one for our swimming activities. Under the able direction of our new swimming instructress, Miss Thompson, many girls have learned to swim, and Life-Saving has been very popular with the more advaneed,. The cups were all competed for with the usual enthusiasm. Thanks to Miss Thompson's train- ing and the encouragement received from the rooters, the Inter-School cup was won by our team by a fairly large number of points. This makes the third successive year for the school to win the cup, so it is now ours to keep. The Inter-Class meets were also successful and largely attended. The Senior aggregate cup was won by 11-2-A, and the Individual by Helena Lawrence. The Junior aggregate was won by Sixth Year, while Lillian Athernley won the Individual cup. We all wish to thank Miss Thompson for her splendid help and encouragement to us during the year. Respectfully submitted. HELENA LAWRENCE, Swimming Manager.
