seemed to bore into my very soul. I was trapped with some wild beast! Perhaps the very one I had set out to destroy! As I realized my plight I cowered into a corner of the pit, moaning. All the answer I received was a snarl of rage and hate, and thc dull thud and scrape of the great, ripping talons, as the beast struck out right and left at the raw earth of the pit's sides. I stared, fascinated, at the eyes g so evil, so cruel, so implacable, I turned my face from them, but their malignant glare seemed to pierce my very skull, turning my brain to fire. Why did he not spring, and put an end to my suffering? It would be so very easy! As I lay there, with the blood dripping from my wound, I prayed for death as I had never prayed for any thing before. I do not know whether or not I became unconscious, but the next event of which I have any remembrance, was of being lifted gently from the pit. Weeks later, when I had recovered from the fever brought on by the shock and exposure, they told me that a search party, lead by the old guide, had heard my delirious cries and had found me crouched at one end of their pit-fall, and, at the other, the body of the black leopard, impaled through the loins by one of the stakes. That is all, said Winslow rising, save that I left the country as soon as' I could wind up my affairs. Since that time I have been a changed man 5 the savour has gone out of life g so saying, he turned on his heel, and entered the grill. As I sat pondering over the strange tale, my friend Wilmington came towards me. Ah! said he, I see old Winslow's been yarning with you, stuffing you too, I'll warrant! I caught him showing you those scars 3 that's just a little way of his with new members 5 whenever he sees one he button-holes him, and feeds him some yarn as to how he came by them! It's a different one every time, too! But, I put in feebly, how did he get them? Oh, answered Wilmington, an operation for gout, or some such ailment. You needn't feel cheap over it. The old boy's an artist at the job, and has taken in many a better man than you or me. -F. ARNOLD, III A. 37

SENIOR SOCIAL H The staff of the Collegiate Institute and the members of the Board were the guests at a tea given by the senior form pupils. The main hall was transformed for the oc- casion into a sitting room with rugs and easy chairs and many plants had been artistically arranged by the students. Miss Marjorie Jones and Miss Reta McDonald received the guests. Tea was poured by Miss Marjorie Sinclair and Miss Hewitt, and the ices were cut by Miss Eunice Tyhurst and Miss Lorna Glover. Assisting in serving were: Margaret MacMurchy, Gladys Jones, Gladys Moffatt, Jean Peart, Belle McIntosh, Chrissie Reid, Ellen Stevenson, Jack McCallum, Raymond Rosenthal, Clare Thacker, Stuart Thom, Owen Dutton, Mac Stewart, Charlotte McKechnie and Stanley Kelly. During the afternoon piano selections were given by Miss Eunice Tyhurst and Miss Chrissie Reid, solos by Miss Lily Rodgers and Miss Marjorie Jones, and a reading by Charlotte McKechnie. l1 THE GRADUATING FORMS As They See Themselves S For the students' point of view read these limericks, skits, biographies and medleys. They are their own. They review the workers and shirkersg the social stars and the back-numbers, the halt, the maimed and the blind. Remembering that this is a Students' Annual, the editors have been blind too, as blind as they well might. As an old country business man said at a tea table at which a chosen group of his associates had met daily for years: Here much offence is given, but none is taken.
