The Toronto Trip O SO MANY people by whose efforts one of the year's most profitable days became possible, this class will ever be grateful. How they ever planned so many details is a marvel of organization. Truly, it may be said that from break of dawn until nigh unto another dawn there were no idle moments. A special coach, hot chocolate and cookies in the Oak Room, street car tickets, a tour of the Art Gallery, lunch at the Museum, a variety of lectures there, a break in order to have a mid-afternoon snack, a visit to the Parliament Buildings, the relaxation accommodations at the Central Y.M.C.A., and the evening arrangements left nothing undone for the day's enjoyment. Some visited friends and relatives, some attended the Horse Show, some went to Massey Hall to enjoy the Pop Symphony Concert, and others to the Royal Alex to see the enactment of Antony and Cleopatra . Whatever their diversion and entertainment, all were unani- mous in describing this as an outstanding experience. The trip for some ended early on Saturday morning, for others late Saturday night. Some even prolonged the event until 2.00 a.m. on Monday morning. By nine o'clock on that same day all had resumed the schoolroom tasks at P.N.S. Each brought back tales of sights and experiences that will linger, but this record should contain some that might otherwise be forgotten. THE BEGINNING B-r-r-r, br-r-r! Oh, shut up! B-r-r-r, br-r-r!

HOCKEY Playing for the sheer love of the game, several boys accepted the invita- tion of the city teachers' hockey team to play in the City League. Although not always on the winning side, the team reached the playoffs, and always offered their opponents stiff opposition, making every game worthwhile. Perhaps it was the after-effects of teaching that made the team so spirited for these Thursday night games. Even the goal-tender took it on the teeth. The team is especially grateful to Mr. Olmstead and Mr. Weir for their interest, encouragement and leadership. SOFTBALL No feature during the Fall term did more to make one Normalite acquainted with another than the scheduled softball games after four. Mr. McKinney's leadership not only made these occasions enjoyable but at the same time provided each student with much practical training in how to teach the game. On several occasions a Normal School team enjoyed games with the girls from Queen Alex or the North End boys. All in all, it was good fun.
