That's the kind of a year we've had-a rip-tailed snorterf' It has indeed been a banner one from the point of numbers taking part, number of school leagues and teams, number of inter-school games, and number of inter-city games. Ofpcourse, we didn't win all our inter-school and inter-city contests, but we did very well, and after all winning isn't everything. To play the game, win or lose, to acquire real health and a hardy body, to secure physical ability and enjoyment, and to enjoy social good fellowship with one's opponents, these are the things that count far more than the mere winning of a contest, and make athletics educational for the great game of life.

IN AUTUMN Original Poem-Winner of J. F. Bryant Medal-Miss Margoiie Jones. A The World in Autumn's garlands is arrayed. Sweet Summer, yielding place at her commands, Reveals in fluttering leaves and fruitful lands, And further gives fair warnings thus portrayed- ln withered blossoms, forests drear- That Hoary Winter's drawing near. Bright beams of sunshine flit among the flowers, Attracting bees with robes of richest splendour, A babbling brook smiles thanks unto the Sender For summer skies and April's welcome showers. Some little squirrels their winter stores provide, No sluggard's they who'd on the Ant rely. . But where is Autumn in this scene of joy? Is't her we see soft bending o'er the vine, Whose busy fingers, wreaths of flow'rs entwines. Gr does she reign supreme, this Autumn f ay? Ah! There she's idly gazing in the pond, In Wonder at the azure skies beyond! Whatsounds are these which fall upon my ear? 'Tis, sighing breezes crooning lullabies, Whispering wherein every promise lies, Of future days of joys and sorrows dear, And trilling larks who o'er the tall trees soar, Bid sad farewell to SIIIHIHGIJS golden hour. 18

The Work of the executive consists in planning out and arranging for the various activities during the school year.

This year the Association has had a membership of 580 and has done over 3500 Worth of business. This is the largest membership and business the Association has ever handled.
