THE HOIVLER, 1934 MONABELLE SUTER has taken a keen interest in swimming this year and is at present work- ing for her bronze. Best of luck! NIARY TWCCORMICK is also a swimming enthu- siast and will try her bronze shortly. Tap dancing is also in her repetoire. ENA ERsK1NE is our mermaid extraordinary. How she can go through the water is be- yond us. Ena also plays a smooth game of Basketball. -fx me!-:bf-as TAP DANCING AND HIS year the special Tapping Class held after school one afternoon a week, was thrown open to all girls interested. In former years, only the middle and upper school were allowed to join. The result has been very satisfactory. The class has gained in numbers until now about 25 girls are en- joying the privilege of taking extra tapping. A short display was given on Parents' Night. VV'e hope it continues to gain in popularity. Ol.XYIN PEARSON is one of the best Tap dan- cers we have.

FIRST FORM PARTY vmmwm second formers which echoed out of the gym on the wild and stormy night of November 22nd, It was the occasion of the annual first form party given by the Girls' Athletic Coun- cil. The second formers were included this year as this is the first year in North Tor- onto for many of them. Relays and games were enjoyed by all, while exhibitions of tumb- ling and apparatus work were enthusiastically received. The short skit put on by the second form Volleyball captain was also heartily ap- plauded. Miss Tilston and Miss Fenwick took a well deserved rest from teaching and enjoyed the efforts of those trying to take their places. The evening closed with the singing of the school song and God Save The King. Apples appeared at the end of the evening and every- one voted the party a great success.

The crest itself is given for athletic ability, execu- tive ability, sportsmanship and personality. The list is getting longer every year, and al- though it is only open to fourth and fifth formers, should continue to grow in length and distinction. TUMBLING The call for all those interested to come out and join the tumbling team came in November this year. It was eagerly answered. The team was composed mostly of first and second formers. A short display was given A++: THE HOWLER, 1934 at the annual first form party in November, and on January 11th, Parents' Night, another exhibition was put on. The team has had a very successful season. APPARATUS This is a feature which has not been stressed much in the last two or three years, but this year a team was made up of all the girls who wanted to go in for this form of exercise. The team fully justified its existence. It per- formed on two occasions, once at the first form party and again on Parents' Night. It is to be hoped that this part of girls' sport will be continued next year. x,-.-- u.u9.u.FlELD DAY, TRACK AND FIELD, AND SWIMMINGUUM Contrary to the well established custom at North Toronto, Girls' Field Day was post- poned last spring owing to the general con- fusion caused by the examinations and the termination of all activities. Several weeks prior to the meet, which was held early this fall, the jumping pits and track were used almost constantly by those who were the en- thusiastic participants of field day events. The Junior Championship was won by Fern East with 11 points out of a possible 15. She was closely followed by Lois Davidson and Betty Martin who tied for second place, each having 9 points. The Intermediate Championship won by Muriel Gray, gaining 9 points, was, like the Junior, very closely contested. Second place was again a tie. The honours were shared by Elinor Doane and Lorraine Brockway. Dor- othy lolly emerged Senior Champion with Ida Tipp in second place. The support of the spectators was greatly appreciated by all. Ribbons were presented by Mrs. Plumptre, Miss Hampson and Miss Standing to those placing first, second and third in events. Although a heavy shower drove the onlookers to shelter, it was possible to run off the few remaining events and bring the program to a successful conclusion. FERN EAsT certainly started her career at N.T.C.l. with a bang. She was junior Field Day Champion this year. Lots of time for winning yet, Fern. These JOLLYS seem to be a sporting family. Here is jacky's young sister DOROTHY Senior Field Day Champion. That's what you get for being jolly. LIFE SAVING M iowa, at '- ' X .f 3 :L ,' 4 A 4, 4, ., fy -.5 jg if . A . Q - Q' ' as i.

SWIMMING- Although North Toronto is not fortunate enough to have a tank of its own, swimming is carried on through the use of the Northern Vocational tank. Beginners have the privilege of swimming on Tuesday afternoons, while the life saving class makes use of the tank on Thursday afternoons. Ten of the girls are try- ing for the bronze medal and two are trying the Intermediate test, while one is trying for the silver medal. We wish them every success.

Page Seventy-Two THE HOWLER, 1934 U .-. UDIHE..- H fTTT TT S N kaaaaasnss ssmsasaaaij tttt Blue vault incarnadine at dusk, Or lambent, lit with tongues of gold, When time and man were pulseless still Yet, even then, thou vvert old-old. Thou watched the aeons come and go, Nor gave a sign, nor shed a tear, Saw kingdoms rise, and kingdoms fall, And lands made desolate and drear. Prize Poem WINTER AND SUMMER When dreary winter comes again, And all the trees are bare, Perverse I think of summer, When a fragrance fills the air. When the sapphire lakes and rivers Sparkle 'neath the August sun, And the purple depths at twilight, Where the wood-nymphs hide and run. Bent on a burning summer morn, That swims in dust and sun, And a thousand insects lill the air, With dull incessant drone, I think of those crisp, frosty days 'Neath winter's hoary hood, Still over all, thy great cloak spreads, Enfolding earth within thine arm, Eternal Watcher of our span Can aught thee hurt or harm? And so, when time has passed away, We wonder, wilt thou still be there? And will we know thee better then And smiling, see thee still as fair? Nellie Coe 4-F. LCDNELINESS Dark Dawn- Your cold fingers tracing A future path for joyless pacing. Sunless day- Your blank surface etching A pattern for friendless hours stretching. Cold eve- Your hopeless thoughts providing A meagre raiment for naked souls hiding. Barbara Pritchard. MEADOW VIOLETS They opened in wonder at the huge golden sun And gazed in sweet delight, bits of sky each one, Soft, damp and shining blue, in fringing lash VVhen the glen, all white with drifted snow, they lie And flutter, peek and laugh-meadow violets -baby eyes. , Reynold Johnston.
