Lose all your terror of God or of man for it, With all your capacity, Strength and sagacity, Faith, hope and confidence, stern pertinacity, If neither cold poverty, famished and gaunt, Nor sickness nor pain, Of body or brain, U Can turn you away from the thing that you Want, If dogged and grim you besiege and beset it, YOU'LL GET IT! -BERTON BRALJQY. SPORTS AND ATHLETICS Some one has wisely said that a healthy body and a healthy brain go together. The records made by the Commercial Depart- ment would indicate that most of the students have healthy brains and their activity in sports and athletics show that they are Well up to the mark in this department. In baseball, football and basketball, and in the annual sports, the Commercial Depart- ment have been near the top. I Minnie Friedgut, of form 2 E, is the outstanding athlete of the Commercial Department. It was she who Won the girls' championship medal in her class in the annual sports of 1922. Minnie is as good at shorthand as she is at sports, and that is saying a lot. GALLOWAY, CLEARY 81. CO.

Q7 ,., 45 - Q 1- X , .I E HARMONY? GLEE CLUB Every VVednesday afternoon, for an infinitely long three- quarters of an hour Cor so it appears to the eager CPD listenersb, sweet strains of music issue forth from the Assembly Hall. These profuse outbursts of song are the efforts of that sweetly smiling bevy of femininityewho boast the proud and extremely dignified title of the Elgar Glee Club. The total enrollment of this organization is about fifty members, but few and far between are the days when all of the smiling faces are seen in the hall. But perhaps it is all for the best, as there are fewer discords when less are present. But to borrow one of our learned professor's favourite quotations, Why crept the discord in but that harmony should be prizedf' Miss R. B. Riddell is our worthy long-suffering conductress and her task is by no means easy. She devotes half for to be specifically explicit, 37-75thsD of her time trying to draw forth profuse strains of too much premeditated art from rather un- promising, but at times, budding young musicians. e , V Recently the Glee Club decided to exhibit its talent by rendering a light operetta, entitled f'Patricia. The aforesaid operetta was rendered carefully and cleverly, displaying a great deal of talent along musi callines Cso said the Leader.D The plot was quite amusing, and the music Cexcept for an occasional discordl, was quite propitious to the ear. The cast was as follows: Reggie Montgomery, round whom the plot centres more or less-Clive Peacey. ' Mrs. Montgomery, the dignified but 'extremely snobbish, mother of Reggie-Eunice Tyhurst. Patricia, our heroine-buxum, blythe and debonair, who turns out to be merely a cook-Freda Hardy. Dick-who particularly impresses the audience as being a forlorn, solemn individual, whose melancholy soliloquies kept the audience in tears and sighs-May Polson. Jenny-who never, no never, fell in love-Marion Graham four gifted secretaryl. 74
