boy on his left, the one on the right Choose The Right Chewing his penholder, he gazed about the room with troubled eyes. He was taking an examination. It was his last chance to pass, and he required every possible mark. How he wished that he had worked hard- er through the year! VVhy had he not studied during the past two weeks? Last night? It would not have been too late. But now, as he read the questions through, he realized with a. sinking heart that failure was inevitable. He sat there, unprepared, unable to answer, while all around him the other pupils wrote diligently. The boyfs paper at his left lay temptingly exposed to his sight. Would he weakly yield to the temptation and copy from it? Or, would he nobly refuse to be dishon- est? He knew that he ought to choose the latter course, but by the former it would be so easy to get the in- formation he desired. Indecision was written on his face as he sat struggling with temptation. At last, however, he straightened up. His undecided expression gave way to one of strength and decision. One could see that he had chosen the Hens Wha Hae Ye hens wha ha'e aforetime laid Eggs o' super poultry grade, Hasten to your country's aid, Lay for liberty!

Rugby Dances fC'ontinued from Page L1 I every school that has the privilege of holding a dance at the school so often or has such wonderful equip- ment to provide the most modern swing by the most popular bands. So why shouldn't everyone be hep, swing out, cut a rug in true collegiate style. Junior And Senior Gym Party And we did the Cokio Okie and we did the Cokie Okie, that's what it's all about-almost. I say almost be- cause the introduction of this dance at the gym party was merely the be- ginning of' the fun. Everyone joined in a sing-song led by Gwen Bond which ended up in a lung contest. We danced, Cin no graceful manner, but rather in Little Harlem jitterbug stylel , did gym stunts, and carried on in general 'till the food appeared- steaming hot-dogs and luscious honey- dips. And how we ate! Skating Party Round and round you go, but where you stop you never know- until you find yourself at the bottom of a pile-up in one corner of the rink. Once more our annual skating party was a terrific success fand I really mean terrificj. It was as much fun and twice as dangerous as any rugby game. Imagine the thrill of jumping over a helpless skater who had been sucked down by the strong under current, missing him by a hair's breadth, and realizing later Conly when you see the unfortunate soul being carried ofij that you had been too generous in your judge of dis- tance. All's fair in love and skating. Manufactured By A. Wander Limited A youngster tBill Kempj who was in the habit of saying aint for isn't', was reproved by hir. Hale. A short time afterward, on hearing Gall use the same word, Bill ran to lifr. Hale exclaiming, 'iPlease. sir, Ed. says 'It ain't'. but it isn't 'ain'ti, is it?

Senior Rugby tConfinued from Page .525 In the opening game with Oshawa the Bamforth Battlers began well and continued so, gaining fifteen points while Oshawa scored none at all. The following week the Rubber- town team came out victorious in a very disheartening game on their home field. The local boys had little encouragement as there were no niore than a dozen local representa- tiyes and Poo Hamilton suffered a leg injury. For the Hrst time for years the P.C.V.S. Seniors were not in the finals, being eliminated at Riverside Park by Bowmanville, the reasons being: superior weight of Bowman- yille: hard luck, and, as the week before, a player named Brown. Finally on November 2nd, the boys again suffered defeat at the hands of the Oshawa team, although the result made no difference to the chances of Mr. Bamforth's team.
