Smith lVt UIET simplicity is the expression of a strong, courageous spirit. llJ The oue who has something to say, that needs saying, speaks in clear terms. He has lived with an idea, thought it through o its simplest terms, and has felt the power of truth stir within ,i m . He understands that power needs no bolstering, and allows t the dignity of forthright expression. Quiet manners are the indication of a serene mind, controlled and directed by a cultivated intelligence. Greatness never has to lift Youth needs to learn simplicity. Direct and candid by nature, the young people readily understand candor of speech and action. When they turn from the simple ways and copy the futile fussiness of their frightened elders it is because they have caught the fear that drives men into hiding. If they lose their first, open, generous candor it is not because they would choose to lose it. They have lost their way among the clutter which has been thrown into their lives. It is time that we claimed the dignity of manhood and womanhood secure in our own right. The time is here when each of us must declare for the simplicity of the human spirit, for its freedom from the unessentials. YES, WHY NDT THINK? It’s a little thing to do; Just to think. Anyone, no matter who, Ought to think. Take a little time each day From the minutes thrown away, Spare it from you work or play, Stop and think. You will find that we who fail Do not think. Men who find themselves in jail Do not think. Half the trouble that we see, Trouble brewed for you and me, Probably would never be If we’d think. Shall we journey hit-or-miss, Or shall we think? Let’s not go along by guess, But rather to ourselves confess It would help us more or less If we’d think. Youth is the time to study wisdom; Old age is the time to practise it. — Rousseau.

THE ANNUAL BANQUET HE week prior to the banquet marked a period of tense expect¬ ancy and excitement throughout the entire school. “Tech. Banquet” was a very hackneyed expression by the end of the week. By 6:25 p.m. the rotunda of the Palliser Hotel was crowded with merry Tech, students bedecked in their finest toggery. Before long the doors of the main ballroom were opened and with surprisingly little confusion the students found their places. During the banquet meal, classes rose in a body, time after time, to give vent to their spirits in hearty class yells. The Motor group gave the best account of themselves in this department. As usual, Mr. Fowler filled the position of Toastmaster. The pleasant manner in which he introduced the speakers was usually to the embarrassment of the Staff but of course to the high glee of the assembled students. This year the Banquet Committee was fortunate in securing Mr. H. P. Wright, formerly a Staff member and now a master-farmer, to deliver an inspirational address. His remarks regarding human¬ itarian and scientific discoveries left the students with food for serious thought. The address by our Principal, Dr. Carpenter, dealt with the statistics relating to the present school year. He sounded a note of optimism as he reviewed the increased enrollment and the greater variety of courses offered. Mr. T. Massing, the President of the Students’ Association pro¬ posed the toast to the Staff. In a few well chosen words he expressed the respect and friendship which the student body has for its in¬ structors. Mr. Fleming replied, recounting some of the pecularities of the Staff, much to the delight of the students. Other items on the program included community singing, led by Claude Roberts; selections by the Symphony Orchestra, the Choral Society, and the Composite Trio; and piano-accordian selections by Mr. Stan. James. The program was closed by the singing of “Auld Lang Syne.” The remainder of the evening was devoted to dancing to the music of Jerry Fuller and his orchestra. Much credit is due to H. Yerkerk and his committee of willing workers for making this event such an outstanding success.
