THE HIGH SCHOOL SKI CLUB HH year's activities of the High School Ski 'Club commenced with a meeting held on December 13th. At this meeting the following executive was elected: Honorary Presidente Dr. Gammell President -Y Nlr. C. Dyas Vice-President ff Gerald Golden Secretary Steine YVe wish to extend our sincere gratitude to our Rector for his untiring efforts on our behalf, for his interest in all our activities, and for the tangible expressions of encouragement which he has been pleased to grant us from time to time throughout the year. Our President deserves our heartiest thanks for the capable manner in which he has encour- aged and supported us during the past months. Although we are only one of the many Ski clubs which he has organized and dex oted his time and attention to, nevertheless it is our sincere wish that he will ever remember us as good sportsmen and willing co-workers. Actual ski-ing began the week following our first meeting, and prospects for a good winter's programme were exceedingly bright. Although it has been customary in the past to enter two senior teams in the Seven Mile, it was thought advisable this year to enter but one team. De- spite lack of intensive training, our team put up a terrific struggle, so much so that Westmount, who were conceded an easy first, had some difficulty in upholding their reputation. Their margin of safety was not large since a very short space of time separated the lVestmount and Montreal High teams. A junior school race which was won by M. Scott, closely followed by R. Bott, was held on the former Ski club course. Westmount resolved to leave nothing to chance and accordingly entered three teams in the One Mile. They won first, second and third places in the face of very little opposition. Gui' junior team made up somewhat for the poor showing of our seniors when they secured a good second place in their event. The jumping competition was cancelled this year because of unsuitable weather conditions and consequent lack of jumping facilities. Though our seniors did not win any event, we leave behind us some promising material in our junior team which augurs well for the future. H. STEINE, Secretary.

In November the remaining members of last year's corps were organized and took part in the Memorial Service and the March Past the Cenotaph. Later in the month a class of N.C.O's. were organized, and the oflicers and N.C.O's. were picked from this squad. The officers for the year were as follows: Cadet-Major Deearie, Cadet-Capt.

If nine of these pass the test we will retain the Strathcona Cup. A shoot- ing team composed of Capt. Hart, Lieuts. Adam- son and Place, and cadets Poyanner and Smart will compete in the Provincial Championships and our chances of winning are very good. The first-aid class have been meeting regularly and are making good progress. On May the 22nd the corps will be inspected on the McGill Campus. Following the inspection Qinstructorjg C. Major Decarie. will be the Annual Garrison Church Parade, after which the corps will be dismissed. Respectfully submitted, CADET-MAJOR DECARIE.
