94 THE COLLEGIATE McXYatters was forced to rouge in the third quarter for the first point of the game. XYindsor pressed hard and Parson scored a touch early in the fourth quarter. Sarnia retal- iated and with three minutes to go McGibbon caught an onside and ran fifteen yards for a touch. Parsons and Fox starred for XYindsor, while McGibbon and Geary were the best for Sarnia. A S.C.I. 8z T.S. 1-Windsor 13 The return game was played at XX 1l1ClSOI' the following Saturday, in a sea of mud and in continual rai11. The heavier lVindsor team used weight to great advantage and ex- celled in line plays. The open field work of Sarnia was greatly hinder- ed by the condition of the field. XVindsor had possession in Sarnia's territory most of the time. During the last five minutes the S.C.I. Sz T. S. showed signs of greater offensive but their rally started too late for scoring. For VVindsor, Parsons, Jeffers, and Garrison starred. Geary was the outstanding player for Sar- nia, being the only one to make yards against Ytiindsor during the game. BASKET The boys were very fortunate this year to be able to get Son -Tenn- ings to coach the team, The gra- duation of some of last year's play- ers left a great gap to be filled, be- fore the XYossa season started. However Son built up a strong team, which, handicapped by sick- ness. lost out in the semi-finals to Xkalkerville. XYalkerville's refusal to postpone the game. forced the team to go there without Carter or Walsh. This action on the part of lYalkeryille can not be accounted for, as there was another week be- fore the series was scheduled to be over. S.C.I. 27-Old Boys 16 The Old Boys' game opened the 1926 basketball season. Led by Bob McDougal-l the ex-students were determined to make up for their de- feat in rugby. Carter's scoring a- bility and Crompton's guarding frus- trated the hopes of the Alumni. The game was rather slow on ac- count of Old Boys' lack of condition. VanHorne held Hallam in check, so that Carter led the scoring. Ro- binson a11d McDougall were good for the Old Boys. Carter, Cromp- ton a11d Hallam for the school. BALL S.C.I. 30-Port Huron 9 The Port Huron basketball team was exceptionally small and in the annual international game were se- verely defeated. Kellam and Carter scored fourteen points each, Mait- land getting the odd basket. Most of the Port Huron points were ga- thered on foul shots or on long ones. In Hallamfs absence Kellam played his first senior game and played well. The final score was 30 to 9. S.C.I. 21-Strathroy 14 Ou January 15th the C. I. quintet invaded Strathroy for the first game of the XVossa season. The game was fairly fast with few substitu- tions. Carter opened the scoring and Sarnia was never behind. Hal- lam combined well with Carter. Strathroy played a hard game but their efforts were blocked by Tes- key and Crompton on guard. The game ended 21-I4 for Sarnia. S.C.I. 55-Garfield 11 The following week, Garfield High School of Port Huron played a game with the C.l. squad. They were defated by a score of 55-II. THE COLLEGIATE 95 1 BOYS' BASKETBALL TEAM Left to Right-Howard Carter fcaptainl, Bruce Maitland, Gordon Mattingly, Lloyd Hallam. lfrlgzir Kellam, James XValsh, Cyril Teskey, Hubert Potter, Beatty Jennings Icoacbl. I Carter and Hallam went on a scor- ing contest, the former getting 30, the latter L23 points. The game was not interesting as it was too much one sided. S.C.l. Z4-Strathroy 11 The return Strathroy game was played on January 22nd. Hallam was decidedly off and did not play much of a game. Fouls were num- erous and several players were on the verge of being put off but the game ended in time to prevent this. Carter's shooting and the great de- fensive work of the team featured the game from a local standpoint. Hoskins and Graham were the best for Strathroy. Sarnia thus won the round 45-25. S.C.I. 23-Port Huron 21 The following night the team played the return game with Port Huron. The Hoor was slippery and the Sarnia team was off colour. It was necessary to play three over- time periods before Sarnia emerged victors by two points. S.C.I. 19-Walkerville 22 The game was keenly contested from the nrst between two evenly matched teams. XYalkerville start- ed the scoring and were never in danger. The game was rough and most of the fouls were called on Sarnia, although there were a lot overlooked on Xlialkerville. Carter led in the scoring with ten points while Hallam notched four. Tes- key and XYalsh played a splendid game at guard. The lYalkerville team took the openings and thereby gained a three point lead. Hallam had a chance to tie the score in the last period, on a disputed decision, but he could not get his eye on the basket. Carter. Hallam and Teskey were the best for Sarnia, while Al- lison, Turner and Hicks were the best for XYalkerville. S.C.l. ll-Walkerville 39 The weakened Sarnia squad play- ed the return game the following week. Wlalkerville started to in- crease their lead right away. The XYalkerville combination was strong and by full time had scored 39 points, while Sarnia gained II. Hallam was the best for Sarnia while Hicks was outstanding for Vtfalkerville. 96 THE COLLEGIATE BASKETBALL LEAGUE Despite the lack of a Boys' Ath- letic Association this year, Mr. Kee- ber and members of the boys' bas- ketball team got together early in March and promoted a basketball league for the boys in order to keep up an interest in that line of sport and also to hnd what material the school possessed for future years. The organization was very simple but effective. A list was secured containing the names of the boys who wanted to play. From this list the best six were chosen and six members of the teams drew for them. IYhen each was assigned to a team, the next best six were chos- en and this was repeated till each captain had a roster of eight play- ers. The six captains or coaches undertook the placing and instruct- ing of their players and in this way derived as much benefit as the play- ers themselves. Two leagues were soon seen to be necessary, owing to the number of boys, and a junior league was formed similarly to the senior. For coaches the teams in the junior lea- gue had the substitutes of the re- gular team. Each league was di- vided up into two parts and at the end of the season the winner of Part I played the winner of Part 2 for the championship. These games al- so served as a help to Hallam and Carter, of the first team, for these two acted as officials of the games and incidentally they missed very little rough stuff and their handling of the games was spoken of prais- ingly rather than insultingly as is usually the case among arbitrators. The team coached by Teskey won the hrst part of the Senior league and XYalsh's cohorts captured the second part. The playoff was wag- ed before a large crowd of students and XValsh's emerged victorious with a I4-8 count. The winners' team is composed of: McPhai1, cen- treg Ivinson and I-Iargrave, for- wardsg Patterson, Clark, guardsg Prendergast, sub. THE W.O.S.S.A. TRACK TEAM The sixth annual IYossa Track and Field Meet was held on Satur- day, May I6, IQ25, at the new cinder oval, at XYestern University. De- spite the dull day and drizzling rain, the meet was a huge success, and six records were broken. Sarnia sent three teams to the meet, but they did not succeed in winning any group or individual championships, though they made a very creditable showing for the school. The members of the teams were: Senior, L. Hallam, H. Carter, St. C. Parsons, E. Kennedy. Harold VanHorne and F. Burwellg Inter- mediate, 'Iames Armstrong, Kenneth Fraser, Elton Johnston, Charles Richards, Gordon Paterson. ,lun- iors: Kenneth Zink, Lyle McKay, Glen lXIcPhail, Tom Laurie. The Seniors were the most suc- cessful, coming second for the Group Championship with I6 points, while London South was first with 25 points. Ted Kennedy won his heat in the senior Ioo yards and came second in the final heat. In the Senior Shotput, Howard Carter won third place and in the High 'lump was second, Bud Parsons was third in the 440 yard race and Lloyd Hallam won first in the Sen- ior Broad Jump. In the Senior Re- lay race Sarnia was second. In the Intermediate Class Sarnia scored only three points, these being gain- ed by Elton Johnston who was sec- ond in the Shotput. In the Junior division Kenneth Zink won second place in the Shotput. Our team last year did very well, considering the fact that the campus was very muddy and that we have no indoor track, so that the athletes may begin training early in the THE COL!LEGlA'iTE. 97 Spring. If it had not been for some of the members of the static offering their cars to transport the athletes to Bayview Park so that they might practice, their showing might have O been much worse. The track meet this year is to be held on May 21, at London again, so it is urgent that the teams Commence their training early. 4 ff W W i 25, 5 ?

Then Pat confided that he had seen the others go to heaven and forth- with had eaten the grub A doctor wanted an assistant and advertised for one. An Englishman, Irishman and Scotchman came. The Englishman was first. The test was to feed a skeleton porridge. So the Englishman goes to the skeleton and puts the spoon to its mouth and it says, lt's hot, it's hot. The Englishman ran away. The next was the Scotchman, and when he tried the test. it said, f'It's hot, it's hot, and being Scotch he took the porridge with him. Next came the Irishman. and when he started to feed him the skeleton says, It's hot, it's hot, and Pat says, Blow it, you fool, blow it,', and Pat was hired. x :ic ak :lc To Commercial Forms Mrs. Bradley-Now, Girls, Hurry Up!

E e The pioneer Iron Works, the famous Forges Saint-Maurice, 5 back of Three Rivers, were licensed to operate by the French King E in I730, and stove-making became an important feature of the E business. . In a report made in ISOS ,we -learn that the smallest stove E cost two louis, the large size six louis, and the double stoves with E oven in top were ten to twelve louis according to their measure. 2 How much is a louis? You can read--it up in Les Forges Saint-Maurice par Ben- 2 jamin Sulte, published by G. Ducharme, Montreal. gAnd in 2 Sarnia, as you know, we have been making stoves since 1882, E and we begin to feel a bit historical ourselves. THE DOHERTY MFC.

A great deal of discussion has arisen upon the subject of the Hud- son Bay Railway. The Hudson Bay outlet is suggested as the solution of the VVestern farmers' problem of shipping grain to the Old Country. Already a large amount of money has been spent on this railway and nothing much has been achieved, It is not surprising, therefore, that objection is taken to the proposed grant of S3,ooo,ooo. Central and Eastern sentiment is critical of this further burden at the present time, while even Alberta is indifferent as seen in Premier Brownlee's request to Premier King to hold a confer- ence to consider the whole question of the western route and Vancouver harbor. This consideration of the Vancouver outlet materially lessens the area of benefit from the Hudson Bay outlet and makes cautious pro- cedure more advisable. Since the commencement of the railway to Hudson Bay in 1909, conditions have been materially altered. Immigra- tion has decreased, revenues have been diverted to meet heavy inter- est charges on war outlay, and now the Vancouver route, accessible the year round is being developed even by the extreme measure of lowered freight rates. The support of the Hudson Bav Railway is spoken of as a political debt to the Progressives for sup- porting the King Government. The building of the Railway, as far as it has gone, was commenced by the Government of Sir Wfilfrid Laurier, but of the entire expenditure over xx :ro--cxxxzxo-Q 320,000,000 was made by Conserva- tive Governments between the years IOII and IQ2I, while Liberal Ca- binets have spent under S600000. .-Xpparently any political responsi- bility would seem to lie more with the present Opposition than with the Government. The prevailing sentiment in Han- itoba seems to be in favour of the new route and is opposed to the Eastern advocates of delay or aban- donment of the proposition, as ani- mated by the selfish dictates of Mon- treal. They admit however, that there is a doubt as to whether the route can be established as a com- plete commercial success, just as there were doubts sixty years ago regarding the Montreal outlet. In the last few years the llvest has been greatly aided in securing an outlet for its produce by thou- sands of miles of railways. much of which is still unprofitable and re- quires heavy Dominion aid for de- ficits. The Vancouver outlet is now being developed for the lYestern half of the Prairies. The day may come in the near future when it can be demonstrated that the Hudson Bay route is es- sential, when in view of the amount of traffic and of the money already invested, the completion will be war- ranted. Its advocates should not press their claim unreasonably hav- ing regard to other important devel- opments of our country and the war debt, which has to be faced with but moderate revenues. Neither should those opposed to the route be un- reasonable, always keeping in mind the fact, that the money, that has been spent on this railway, has come from grants of Government land in 26 THE COLLEGIATE the Prairie provinces and also re- membering that, no doubt lYestern- ers can deal with lYestern problems. l,Ol,. POLITICAL CHANGE The political condition in which Canada finds herself. to-day, is such. that very little useful legislation can be accomplished. Up to the present time, this session at Ottawa. in our opinion has proved very little more than an opportunity for the mem- bers of parliament, to enjoy the very expensive game of politics. At a time when Canada is on the verge of an era of prosperity, when party and politics should be set aside, many valuable hours have been was- ted by useless debating'. ln our own Qntario legislature we find the situation very little im- proved. Here the Ontario Temper- ance Act has been the big issue: with the government side of the House following their leader in keeping their thoughts and inten- tions unknown. On the opposition, a member of the Liberal party, who was chosen a member of the policy committee for his party, has placed a motion before the House, in ab- solute contradiction of the policy, of his party, which was the absolute enforcement of the prevailing Tem- perance .-Xct. This motion was de- feated by the combined forces of the majority of this member's own party, the Conservative party, with a few exceptions and the Progressive party. lYe say defeated but we are inclined to think just silenced until the time is ripe, when we fear it will receive the support of the members of the government, who voted a- gainst it. XYhat ever the outcome may be the present outlook seems rather clark for those legislators who composed the majority in fa- vour of the continuance of the Tem- perance :Xct at the recent plehiscite. lYhat punishment shall be meted out to political leaders who do not fulfill their avowed promises to citi- zens of this country? The situation, we feel, is a chal- lenge to the students of our High Schools and Collegiates, to take more interest in the present system of government and in the great po- litical and economical questions of the day. These students are the future citizens of Canada, of whom, some will elect and others will be elected legislative leaders, leaders, whom we hope will add rather than detract from the prestige of political parties. T .1 COOLING THE FLAMES OF GENIUS The woes of an editor are mani- fold, and of a lurid and emo- tional variety. The latter adjec- tives, apply not only to the state of mind of the author who submits his inspired brain-children: but also, and even more intimately, to the comments of aforesaid editor, when he comes in his reading, to those awesome places, where, The wild waves dash in fury against the jag- ged teeth of the rocks, She lifts her sad, sweet face trustfully to his, or, The moon sits like a golden orange on top of the purple hills. The manuscripts are the more irri- tating, because often the ideas be- hind the fog are exceedingly clever. The plot may be perfectly, even originally constructed, the charac- ters invested with a certain individ- uality, yet the whole thing spoiled by being smothered in a wave of startling and extravagant verbosity. The weary editor, as he attempts to tone down the Horid eloquence becomes absolutely certain, that at least one half of the horde of incip- ient authors, simultaneously acquir- ed the thought of calling it, The first pale pink Hush of dawn. In the meanwhile, probably the other half were deciding that The wind howled with the voices, of a million nendsf' lYhen one reads twenty or thirty effusions a day, it does not take long to become inured to the bombardment. Concerning those eyes, that are blue as summer seas, hair like a golden coronet a- THE COLLEGIATE 27 bout her marble brow, those del- icately carved features, exquisite- ly moulded limbs, and Usylphlike figures, ye editor is quite blase. The villains sinister smile, and the heroes f'Greek-god profile, are alike an old, old story. For ,-him, the wan moon-bathed meadows, and little singing streams have ceased to charm. Nor is discorded romanticism the only form of imagination he has to anchor firmly to earth. The modern author in his tendency toward call- ing a spade a spade, has taken to making his auto tires run like little cat feet, giving his hero hair as black as a chunk of anthracite coal, and likening the sound of a hurri- cane, to the baby's shrieks at mid- night, when it wakes up howling for its bottle. However, these are not the worst of his afflictions. Any editor can endure and modify, the Hagonized whispers, and heart- rending cries. It is only when persons begin to choke on their grief, destroy their convictions, weep their eyes out, and tread on their hopes, that he becomes truly alarmed, and decides that this game of exaggerated simile, com- parison, and dramaticism is begin- ning to be a public menace. However, it is highly probable, that with the attachment born of long and constant companionship, the writers may be loathe to banish entirely those shades of evening, low stifled sobs, and glorious un- dertakings. But at least, let them occasionally allow their heroines to possess plain brown hair, and cease to call our perfectly satisfactory sun, a red hot cannon ball. . O . THE GOVERNMENT CUSTOMS PROBE The recent government probe of alleged smuggling at Canada's ports has brought to light several very interesting and unusual situations. The statement of Mr. H. H. Stevens, Conservative for Vancouver, that the customs officials, at a great many Canadian cities, were not what the people trusted they were, seems to have a great deal of truth in it. A great many things have come to light by this probe that point definitely to the fact that the custom's records have been clouded up a great deal, and more than one transaction has been kept from pub- lic view. , The smuggling probe has display- ed the fact that a great many of the higher-ups in political circles have benefitted from the illicit smuggling of liquor and motor cars. The pol- icy that some officials seem to have followed, namely that of- allowing certain little things into the country duty free, or of merely winking an eye. at the smuggling of liquor from Quebec, may be all very well for those deriving the benfit, but it is not fair to the public. Several editorials in leading jour- nals suggest that there is a possibil- ity that the custom's officials and re- venue officers are not above suspi- cion. Of course there are plenty of men in the revenue service who are above reproach but then it is ad- mitted that the customs job in recent years has been full of temptation for the officials. The smuggling of liquor along the border has become a major industry and-the smugglers are only too willing to expend a few dollars to insure non-interference. The enquiry at Ottawa has shown that Montreal has been a prolific clearing house for illicit traffic a- cross the border in both directions and that a clean-up of the Montreal department is long over-due. Evi- dently the department has had a very poor system in the past and there is room for much improve- ment in the system for checking big transactions. The people of Canada have usually entertained a good opinion of the honesty and integrity of government officials and it seems a shame that men in their positions should show such lax moral stan- 28 THE COLLEGIATE dards, by allowing personal inter- ests to overshadow their duty to the people. O THIS EDITION In former years the Constitution of the Senior Literary Society stat- ed that the Society should issue a magazine. and that this magazine should be self-supporting. There- fore. after last year's iinancial fail- ure. it was with extreme caution that we ventured upon this year's publication. However. we now have none of last years debt to worry us, since the Circus so effectively cancelled it all. The magazine staff is very thankful to those who made the Circus such a success. Since a decrease, in the size and quality of the magazine was unde- sirable. slight increases in the cost of advertising were made. The ma- jority of our advertisers did not ob- ject to these increases and support- ed us loyally as they have always done in all our activities. lYill you awww not read every advertisement in The Collegiate and give our pa- trons your patronage? Many of these advertisements were written by members of our magazine staff, this should provide an added inter- est for you. Even these increases in prices did not insure financial suc- cess and the Advertising and Busi- ness Staffs were compelled to work very hard to bring about this de- sirable condition. Not only has an endeavour been made to make the magazine fman- cially successful, but also success- ful from a literary standpoint. Great credit is due to all those on the Staff who have worked so hard to bring success to our etforts. Particular mention should also be made, of the Printer. Mr. rl. XY. NYhitcombe, for his kindly advice, assistance and suggestions and for his genial and personal interest in the welfare of our magazine.

I THE COLLEGIATE 29 srunemr crlvme 1 .M L.,-w.. THE SENIOR LITERARY SOCIETY This organization has again had a very successful year. The elec- tions were held early in the fall term and with such capable leaders as Cecil Banwell and Alan lYarwick, the success of this yearls Senior Literary Society was assured. :Xt the first meeting the newly elected officers had an opportunity to thank their supporters. The new vice- president outlined the work of the year, namely the development of ar- tistic, the literary dramatic scienti- fic topics ofthe programs, ofthe or- ganization. lt was thought advis- able to have a teacher act as critic at each meeting. This insures a real crticism of the program. At the second meeting of the so- ciety an exceedingly interesting scientific demonstration was given by Bob Ferguson, H. Lambert and Alan XYarwick. :Xt the next ses- sion, the students had the pleasure of listening to Heber Nethery and Tom McKay., These two boys pre- sented their speeches for the first lV.O.S.S.A. debate in the boys' ser- ies to be given at XYoodstock. They supported the negative side of the question, Resolved that Canada should have unrestricted immigra- tion. The third meeting, was oc- cupied by the try-offs for the lY.O. S.S.A. girls' oratory contest. Miss Annie Leslie spoke in a very fine manner on Chivalry. Then Miss Norma Hilliard gave a sketch of Pioneer Life in Canada. As there was an art exhibit in the school the next meeting was devot- ed to speeches on art and artists. The next meeting, took the form of a Mock City Council presented by senior members. The last meet- ing of the year was devoted to drama. , The Senior Literary Society is at the head of the Collegiate this year and a great amount of energy is being given' to this important work, insuring it even more success than last year. The executive wishes to take this opportunity of thanking all those who so ably aided in making our programs a success. The spirit of co-operation in the Society has been greatly appreciated by the execu- tlve. The officers elected for the execu- tive for 1924-25 are: Honorary President-Miss Har- ris. President-Cecil Banwell. Yice-President-Alan ll'arwick. Secretary-lYinnie Day. Treasurer-john Manore. Girl Reporter-Annie Leslie, Hoy Reporter-Hubert Potter. Pianist-Atwood Kennedy. THE JUNIOR LITERARY SOCIETY The Junior Literary Society laun- ched upon I925-26 term with a Main Executive and a body of Form Re- presentatives, with admirable co- operative spirit.

Another purpose is to demonstrate the con- duct of a meeting under the Rules Parliamentary under the l'arlianien- tary Rules of Order. Still another object is to provide interesting and profitable programs. The lfxecutive has made a splen- did effort to set a high standard of achievement. Over one hundred and twenty-tive different pupils have taken an active part on the Assem- bly Hall platform: the other pupils have had the opportunity to watch their endeavours, The various types of programs for the term are shown in the following outline. At the first meeting, the new of- licers of the lfxecutive were intro- duced to the Society and each made a short inaugural address, The program for the second meet- ing was a debate upon the subject Resolved that Steam is of greater benefit to mankind than Electricity. Roland Samis and Douglas Burwell of 2C Collegiate, upholding the af- lirinative, defeated Edna Butler and Albert Bartley of 2B Collegiate in a close and very interesting contest. Another meeting was provided en- tirely by pupils of the Technical Department. Addresses on House- hold Science, XYoodwork, Drafting, Steel Development, and Science threw light upon the various Tech- nical Department Courses. These speeches were delivered by Kath- aleen Maughn, Robert Hamilton, XYilbur Clark, Carl Chalmers and Arthur Lawson, respectively. Some new features introduced were, Char- coal sketches by Fred DeGuersey and pleasing selections on the Har- monica by Blake Hargin. Much a- musement was provided by a human automobile with some new and un- usual anatomical troubles. A group of fifteen boys and girls developed a sort of travelogue a- round the world. These displayed souvenirs and contributed many Tl-l:E COLLEGIATE 3l JUNIOR LITERARY SOCIETY EXECUTIVE Back Row-Mary Douclier, Hilda Hunter, F. Richarrlson, Louise McArthur, Nlr. Asbury, K.

The tru- ant was made the defendant against the irate window-owner. After a hard legal light, the decision was awarded to the plaintiff. The personel of the Court was as follows: judge-Claude Cook.

Taking advantage of the presence of a large exhibit of reproductions of famous paintings, another meet- ing of the Society was devoted to Art. Following the development of art through the ages, a number of pupils gave interesting sketches on the lives of great artists. illustrat- ing them with examples of the ar- tist's work. A French play, Hlleanne D'Arc , was given by some second year Col- legiate French pupils. This illus- trated in a very clear manner three important scenes from the life of Jeanne D'Arc, the French heroine. This role was taken by Pauline Mills. At the final meeting of the Junior Literary Society, all the main of- ficers gave a resume of the work carried on by them. All standing business was completed and the meeting was carried out in a detail- ed manner. The retiring officers of the Socie- ty take this opportunity to express their thanks for, and their apprecia- tions of, the aid given them by those teachers who have acted as judges. critics, and advisers. They also wish to thank Mr. Brush and the Orches- tra for its help, as well as, Kenneth Zink for his untiring efforts. 32 THE COLLEGIATE STUDENT COUNCIL The Student Council although not a well-known body is just the same a very important one in the school. Under its supervision the annual At Home was arranged and in the near future it will have charge of the distribution of school letters. lt is a very representative body, be- ing composed of the head of each outstanding organization in the school.

COMMENCEMENT The Annual Commencement ex- ercises took place in the Assembly Hall on Friday afternoon, Septem- ber the eighteenth. The auditorium was filled with proud parents and friends as well as with students eag- er to receive diplomas and to see the presentation of prizes. Mr. Asbury presided and as principal gave his first report of the year's work. lfle referred to the tine progress which had been made along both academic and athletic line in the school. Miss Agnes lYeir gave the vale- dictory address very ably. She ex- pressed in line style the feelings of the students on leaving the school. Miss XYeir desired to impress upon her audience the fact that all the students who were leaving the school would carry with them hap- py memories of life in their Colleg- iate. Members of the Board of Edu- cation who attended were: Mr. XY. T. Goodison, Mrs. XY. I. Barber. Rev. John Hall, Mr. G. A. C. An- drew, Mr. H. B. Thompson, Mr. T. F. Towers and Mr. George Brown. As chairman of the board Mr. Good- ison spoke a few words of welcome to the citiezns who showed inter- est in the school. - The diplomas and prizes were presented by members of the board and Col. C. S. Woodrow presented a shield to the Cadet Corps for work in the London district. Medals were alsogiven to Keith Taylor, Earl Leckie, and Fergus Allaire for markmanship, Prizes were also given to those girls of the Commer- cial department who had gained honours along typewriting lines. Anna Yollmer was awarded the Bis- hop Fallon residence Scholarship of S150 and also the prize of S50 given by the Catholic lYomen's League. Harold Mills was awarded the scholarship for Sarnia Collegiate given by XYestern University. The afternoon's program was pleasantly interspersed with musical selections by the school orchestra under Mr. Brush, a violin solo by Kenneth Zink, and vo-:al solos by Harold YanHorne. The English Country Dance was given by the girls of 2B and 2C. Miss Dorothy XYillson played a piano solo and the girls of 3B and 3C gave a German Folk Dancef, ORCHESTRA The Orchestra of the Sarnia Col- legiate Institute and Technical School is not as large this year as Q in former years, but it is still as eflicient as ever.

The program consisted of violin solos played by K. Zinlc and Helen Prou-t, a piano solo by Atwood Kennedy. and several vocal selections. The orchestra holds its practices Monday afternoons after four o'- clock. The beginners' orchestra practises Tuesday evenings at eight o'clock. RIFLE SHOOTING The excellent results achieved by the cadets, on Cove Ranges, Lon- don, and in our own school are very commendable. This year, there was a very marked improvement in the teams especially in that entered in the King George Challenge Compe- tition. The Miniature Ride shoot- ing has also been greatly improved, due largely to the interest and ef- forts of Captain Fielding. On October 21, 1925, the school was represented at the King George Challenge Cup matches, at London, and the team obtained second place at the meet. The previous year the school obtained eighth place in the same competition. lYith such im- provement it may be hoped that Sarnia will be hrst in the District for 1926. In the hundred yards event, By- ron Spears and two other members of the team shot possibles, along with several cadets from other schools. In the shoot-off B. Spears won the gold medal and cash prize awarded for this event. B. Spears 34 THE COLLEGIATE RIFLE TEAM llack R1-we-Bl. Hall. lf. llamilton, I.. Cmgg, S. lvinson, Mr. E, L. Fielding, hl. llanting, K.

AT HOME The most important social eyent of the school year. the annual At Homeu was held on December the twenty-second. This event was well patronized by the ex-students, who, as there was no Alumni Dance, flocked to their Alma Mater. to join the students in celebrating. The number attending the function was very encouraging. The boys gymnasium was gaily and prettily decorated in the school colours, by means of streamers and drapes of crepe paper hanging from the gallery. The fixtures of the room were rendered exceedingly THE COLLEGIATE 35 colourful with ribbons, while bran- ches of fir hid the plainer corners of the room most effectively. The or- chestra under C. Laugher's direction situated in a daintily draped recess. played exceedingly well and were very generous with their encores. There were several novelty dances which added much to the already attractive program. There were also robber dances which introduced a friendly feeling among the dan- cers. Patrons and students alike joined in the merry whirl. During the evening fruit punch and cookies were served from side tables. To everyone the evening proved a success and it was with many pangs that the dancers left the floor to the strains of Home Sweet Home. The patrons and patronesses of the evening were: Mr. and Mrs. F. C. Asbury. Mr. and Mrs. XV. T. Goodison, Mr. and Mrs. R. VV. Gray. Mr. and Mrs. C. Leaver, Mr. and Mrs. L. H. Richards, Mr. and Mrs. XV. A. Dent, Mr. and Mrs. D. M. Grant, Mr. and Mrs. XV .G. Coles. The committee in charge deserve great credit for the fine success of the evening. The committee: Chairman-Cecil Ranwell. Decoration-Ruth Kirkpatrick. Invitation-lYinnifred Day. Refreshment-Margaret Simpson. Programme-Lloyd Hallam. FIRST AID AND One morning early in February Mr. Keeber announced that the school could enter a First Aid Team in the competition for the lVallace Rankin Nesbitt- Shield offered an- nually. This competition is open to any Collegiate in Canada and the dif- ferent schools are grouped in dis- tricts. About twelve boys turned out so we sent our entry to London and we were placed in District No. I. The boys, however, were busily en- gaged in practising in order to make the Circus a success. On account of this we decided not to start a course of lectures until after the circus was over. In the meantime we secured the services of Dr. S. O. H. Jones, a newcomer to the city. He very kindly consented to give up his leis- ure hours and come to the school from four-thirty to six o'clock, two, three and even four times a week. VVe cannot express too much grati- tude for the services rendered us by Dr. Jones. VVe all extend to him a hearty vote of thanks and hope that he will be back with us next year. VVe had just started our course of lectures when the Signalling Corps started. This too, kept some of the boys away but the rest kept on. 'We had had only about two weeks prac- tice when we were notified that a SIGNALLERS A preliminary examination would take place. - On lVednesday, February 24, Col- nel Murphy, MO. Military District No. I. arrived about one forty. By two o'clock the examination had commenced in Room 306. lVe were divided up into three teams of four men each. The Colonel asked each man several oral questions. Then each man was given a special piece of bandaging to do. The Colonel was very lenient with us. After the examination he complimented us on our showing and wished teams Nos. I and 2 that had made the grade the best of luck. XVe were a little sorry to hear recently, that Chatham had won the District Championship. This makes them elegible to com- pete with the winners of the other districts, and we wish them the best of luck.. However, the writer feels sure that, if the teams had had a longer time in which to prepare and not so many drawbacks they would have made a much more creditable showing. This we hope to do next year. The Teams were: No. I-C. Frayne Ccaptainj, L. Kearns, H. Nethery, Richards. No. 2-E. Moore Qcaptainj, F. Morrison, M. Bury, S. Ivinson. No. 3-I. Gravelle fcaptainj, V. Norwood, R. Mulligan, R. Tuck. 36 THE COLLEGIATE FRESHETTESFHIEPTKDJ As in former years, the F1rst-for- mers were again tendered a recep- tion by the seniors in the early part of October, 1925. The freshettes were obliged to wear all day long, much to their disgust, donkey's ears of bright green crepe paper to re- mind them that they were very very fresh. This proved quite a satis- factory method of squelching the rather Hippant youngsters. How- ever during the day the seniors were forced to resort to some ex- ceedingly harsh measures before the law was properly enforced. Prompt- ly at 7:45 p.m. that same evening each freshette arrived at the girls' gymnasium accompanied by her sen- ior. As is the custom the new com- ers were introduced to the awe-in- spiring seniors before the formal in- itiation. Following this The Fresh- ettes' Ten Commandments were read in a most terrifying tone by Nadine Paterson. These rules im- pressed the freshies to a marked degree. The laws embodied serv- ing and obeying the seniors in every little thing. They must not speak before spoken to, nor are they to forget that they are in complete subjection as far as the seniors are concerned. Then the real initiation was be- gun. The girls were blindfolded and were led haltingly from the boys' gymnasium into that of the girls, where they were put through a severe grilling and had to promise to carry out the Ten Command- ments completely. As an accom- paniment to this pledge the freshies' hands were placed in a delightfully sticky substance which proved on closer inspection to be Brer Rabbit Molasses. Then the stunts follow- ed. The girls were divided up into groups of fifteen and each section was assigned a stunt. There were acrobatic feats and wheelbarrow races as well as singing competi- tions. These proved rather embar- rassing for the freshettes, but in almost every case they succeeded in going through with them under threat of a dip in the swimming pool. As the evening was fast wearing away. and as the seniors saw that starvation was beginnig to show its drawn face in the ranks of the fresh- ettes, a rush was made for the girls' gymnasium where delectable sand- wiches, cakes and chocolate mush- rooms were freely distributed. This way of serving the ice cream on sticks was very convenient after the awkward cans and plates for- merly employed. About 11:00 p.m. the reception ended and the girls left for home satisfied in both mind and body, feeling rather proud of this new position which they had gained. They were now full-fledged mem- bers of the student body of the good old SCI. And thus another Freshettes, Re- ception was over. RUGBY The annual rugby banquet was held this year at the Sanford Hotel. Among those present were XYilfred S. Haney, Ross tllollyj Gray, Mr. Mills, Mr. Isaac Newton, and Mr. Asbury who acted as Toastmaster. After the banquet, toasts were pro- posed to the King, the Old Boys, the Coming Team and others, after which Howard Carter was elected BANQUET captain of next year's squad. This was a tribute to the long service and wonderful work of our centre half in the field. As an assistant to the new captain Gordon Mattingly was elected manager. The new captain and manager were toasted and then the most exciting of the gridiron battles were recounted. After this Dolly Gray gave his fare- THE COLLEQGIATE 37 GIRLS' ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION EXECUTIVE Back Row-BI. Simpson. M. Teskcy, Miss Fenwick. Mr. Asbury, R. Kirkpatrick, M. Xvaghorne. Front Rowfj.

The happy gathering dispersed after the singing of the national anthem. The only regret of the evening was the absence of Pat Crompton and Mike Burleigh the fun makers of the team. The evening was finished with dancing at St. Andrew's Hall. GIRLS' ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION On Monday. Spetember 28, 1925, the hrst meeting of the Girls' Ath- letic Association for I925'26 was held. At this session, nominations were taken for officers and the elec- tion day set. The elections took place some days later and a iine group of girls was elected to take over the reins for the coming year. The following were elected to of- flee: President-Helen Donald. Vice-President-Margaret Hall. Secretary-Gwen McKay. Treasurer-Jean Viiheatcroft. Later these girls met and the cur- ators of the committees were nam- ed. Basketball Curator-Ruth Kirk- patrick. Baseball Curator-Helen Donald. Hockey Curator-lNIuriel Teskey. Swimming Curator-Edith XVag- horne. Social lNIanager-IXIargaret Simp- son. An appeal for membership in the association was made throughout the school, to which the girls heart- ily responded. The result was a marked increase in interest among the girls. but the fact still remains that this worthy institution does not even yet receive the support it should. Field day was arranged for early in the Fall term and a fine list of events was drawn up. But owing to inclement weather it was im- possible to run them one. All the girls' sports have been ably managed by this line body this year. 38 THE COLLEGIATE W.O.S.S.A. ORATORY AND DEBATING TEAMS XV.O.S.S.A. DEBATERS AND ORATORS 'Back Row-Florence Andrew, Marion Ellwood, Annie Leslie, Gwendolyn McKay, Margaret Bentley. Front Row-Edwin Morrow, Tom McKay, Howard Stuart, Hehcr Nethery. After the regular preliminary con- test, Miss Annie Leslie and Mr. Edwin Morrow were chosen as the representatives of the school in the animal Xlossa oratory competition. These two students journeyed early in February to Strathroy Col- legiate for the first round of the contest. Annie Leslie spoke on Chivalry but she was defeated by a Strathroy girl. Edwin Morrow chose Peace as his subject. How- ever he was not successful. The decision went to a boy from De La- Salle School, London. Along debating lines the school has been quite successful in IQ24-25. After defeating teams from XYind- sor and from London Collegiates the Sarnia boys went to Kitchener as representatives in the semi-finals in the llossa series. They were not successful however, losing to the more experienced Kitchener team. The girls had more success than the boys when they travelled 'to London Central Collegiate for the iinals in the Girls, lYossa series, up- holding the negative side of the sub- ject Resolved that heredity has done more for mankind than envir- onmentu they defeated the London team. Because of this victory the debaters. Miss Marion Henderson and Miss Gwen McKay, carried the shield back to the S.C.I. 31 T.S. ln the lQ25-26 series Mr. Heber Nethery and Mr. Tom McKay de- feated lloodstock Collegiate team at lloodstock. They supported the negative side of the subject Re- solved that Canada should have un- restricted immigrationf' Heber Ne- thery and Howard Stewart are now preparing to enter the Finals. The first debate in the girls' con- test was held toward the end of january at the Sarnia Collegiate. Miss Florence Andrews and Miss Marian Edwards supported the af-' firmative side of the question. Re- solved that the senate of Canada should be abolished, against a team THE COLLEGIATE 39 from London South Collegiate. They were successful. On February 26, Margaret Bent- ley and Gwen McKay went to Alma College, St. Thomas for the semi- finals. They supported the affirm- ative side of the subject Resolved that the world owes more to navi- gation than to railways. They lost by a very small margin to the A-lma College team. The interest in this side of school life has been constantly increasing and it is well worthy of the support of every student of the school. CADET CORPS The annual inspection of the Ca- det Corps was held on May 20 with Col. Gillespie as inspecting officer. The corps of last year under R. Gleed Worknian, O.C., was one of the largest and best drilled batal- lions that the school has ever pro- duced. Prior to the inspection at the campus the cadets marched through the city, Col .Gillespie taking the sa- lute at the Vendome Hotel. Upon their return to the school Col. Gil- lespie made his inspection of the various units. Exhibitions of Ba- tallion, Company and Platoon drill were given as well as demonstra- tions in Signalling and First Aid. Col. Gillespie at the conclusion of the First Aid exhibition addressed the cadets and complimented them upon their appearance and general proficiency. It is worthy of note that last year's corps won the shield, for se- cond place in the general proficiency contest held in M.D. I. Great cre- dit is due Gleed VVorkman and his staff assisted by Major McNally and Sgt. Major Hewitt for the splendid showing of the batallion.. The following is the list of officers of last year's batallion: O. C., Gleed XVorkmang Adjt., E. Kennedy: Captains, St. C. Parsons, H. D. VanHorneg Lts. C. Banwell, F. Burwell, C. Teskey. L. Hallam, L. Millman, R. Brown, H. Harkins, H. Carter, TN. Scott, G. McPhail3 B.S.M, bl. XYalshg C.S.M., VV. Callum and R. Nicol. The officers for 1926 are: O.C., R. Nicolg Adjt. H. Carter, Capts., L. Hallam, St. C. Parsong Lts., Ban- well, Burwell, Teskey, Potter, Mait- land, XV. Callum, R. Brown, J. XValshg B.S.M., G. McVeang C.S.M., Gordon Mattingly. TEA DANCE An informal Tea Dance as usual followed the annual inspection of cadetsf The soldierly uniforms of the boys mingling with the gay spring frocks of the girls made a pleasant sight. Dancing was car- ried on from five to seven o'clock. The school orchestra with Atwood Kennedy at the piano was present. Light refreshments were served during the intermission. This func- tion closed the school activities for the year as examinations were but a few weeks off.

Our thanks go to the men who so faithfully care for our rink to keep its surface smooth and hard for the silver blades of the ever- present pleasure seekers. INDOOR CIRCUS ln Febraury the second indoor circus in the history of the Sarnia Collegiate Institute and Technical School was held in the auditorium of the school. Ultimate success, due to the directorship of Mr. Kee- ber and Miss Fenwick coupled with the hearty co-operation of the stu- dents. attended this new student activity. The pupils, resolved that the pu- blic should not be disappointed in their support, toiled faithfully so that the circus might be a big suc- cess. Not only were they repaid for their labour by a capacity house on the opening night, but the splen- did manner in which the audience received their numbers, spurred them on even to greater effort in the succeeding performances. Behind the screens just a faint suggestion of stage-fright was be- trayed but this soon disappeared when the opening selection from the orchestra was finished and the cur- tain arose. Each number, from the introduc- tory exhibition given by the boys on the parallel bars to the linal Dance of the Springtime was executed fautlessly. Mr. Keeber, resumed his old role of clown and was assisted by Mr. Greenleaf, who deserves special mention for his admirable cartoon work. On the whole the programme was exceptionally well handled and the numbers were skillfully arranged. Mr. Keeber's coaching was respon- sible for some splendid work in con- nection with the parallel bars and pyramids. The ability of the girls was clear- ly shown in their wand drill, the dumbell drill and Indian Pantomine. and speaks well for the efforts of Miss Fenwick. Miss Mary Mac- Intyre repeated her success of the last circus in her dance contribution, The Spanish Shawl. Much credit is also due to. the presentation of the 'fStatues,' and the Trip to Co- runnaf' Then too, the Radi0', and the Pipe Organ were not only ex- tremely orignal but just as enter- taining acts. The selections ren- dered by the Male Quartet were musical numbers that were excep- tionally well received. Mr. Keeber kept the audience in tantalizing suspense in his Balloon offering. The fact that he kept the spectators in hysterical laughter is only a repetition of his success as astronomist in the last circus. The Battle Royal and the Dance of the Springtime provoked much mirth among the youthful element of the audience. All performances were attend- ed by a splendid audience which was loud in its praise of the students' ability and the admirable coaching of the performers. Although this new venture has not been establish- ed as an. annual affair in the stu- dents' activity, judging from the success of the two circuses this school has presented, any future en- deavour along this line will meet with the same good fortune. 42 THE COLLEGIATE SCHOLARSHIPS There were two outstanding a- chievements in the academic year. Miss Anna Vollmer was awarded the Bishop Fallon residence schol- arship of 3150, offered by the Ur- saline College of Arts, tenable at Brescia Hall, London, and was also awarded the prize of S50 by the Catholic XYoinen's League for the student obtaining the highest stan- dards, and preceeding to a higher educational establishment. Mr. Harold Mills was awarded the Scholarship for Sarnia Colleg- iate Institute, granted by the Uni- versity of XYestern Ontario, and en- titling him to two years free tuition at University College. London. val- ued at Sioo. He also ranked for the Latin proficiency scholarship.

Under its increasing force, the green waves of Caldina Bay be- gan to curl in the sunlight, and beat in rumbling undertones against the encircling limestone cliffs. On the landward side of the bay almost directly opposite the tortuous chan- nel of the Gate, one could see a a broad beach of shell-white sand. Here, the rock wall that rose every- where else in sheer perpendicularity, had broken away, and the black, ramshackle huts of Eldon. sinister fishing village of the Caldine coast, sprawled up the steep, terraced slope, clinging to every ledge and outjutting crag. On a narrow plateau, just under the brow of the heights, Joachim Henneslaer, Red Henneslaer the Blind, stood in the door of his cabin, leaning the weight of his huge stoop- ed body, upon a knotted cane. His heavy brows were contracted in a frown, and his shaggy head was thrust forward so intently, that it seemed as if those blank, colourless eyes, must surely be staring at some perceptible object, far out beyond the towering portals of the bay. A long dark cloak whipped about his massive shoulders, and his fiery curl- ing hair blew unheeded across his face, tangling itself in the hoops of the carved bronze rings that pierced his ears. As he stood there, a hun- ched moody giant, impervious to the buffets of the rising gale, he might have been a Teach, or an Eug- land, peering forth from his eyrie on the rugged coasts of San Domin- go, or Madagascar. And did one carefully explain the comparison to them, the sea-folk of Eldon would probably flash white teeth in an appreciative smile, and nod their black locks in agreement. For it was known to them that -loa- chim Henneslaer had spent a great space of his youth in China seas, and upon those shadowed years, they chose to cast a Hare of scarlet. This building of fantasy upon mys- tery appealed to the imagination of a race, in whose pulse beat the tire of the Black Captains of Caldinia. Only a short century ago, Eldon high-flung, rock-girt village, had borne a fearsome reputation up and down the length of the Caldine sea board. Low furtive galleys were wont to glide out of the menacing gloom of the Jaguar Gate, and the masters of clumsy wallowing mer- chantinen cursed yengefully, and gave the bleak cliffs a wide berth. Modern gun-boats, and armed pa- trols had forcefully calmed the wrecklessfree-booting of oldg but 48 THE. COLL EGIATE the fishing smacks returning, still often carried hidden deep in their reeking holds, square heavy bales, and soft, queer lettered cartons, that contained neither herring, nor hali- but, nor cod. Instead of warships, revenue cut- ters had acquired the habit of slink- ing about: and stray, suspicious looking fishing craft were held up for summary investigation. More often than not, the signalled luggers hove blandly to. XYhile their captains, tongue in cheek, yet facial expressions of injured innocence and dignity. zealously conducted the en- suing search. Qccasionally how- ever, it happened that the smug- glers were cornered, with neither time nor opportunity to dispose of their cargoes of contraband. Then the revenuers peremptory hail was met with booming guns, and swift flight. It was after one of these ruiming battles, that three grim-mouthed seamen had carried Richard Hennes- laer into the presence of his wife and year-old son, with his wavy red hair, dark and sticky, and a round black hole in the center of his white forehead. Frieda Henneslaer did not weep. ln the course of the violent cen- turies, the women of Eldon had learned to abstain from open grief. But her gray eyes were dazed. un- believing, and her hand clenched and unclenched the cradle-coverlet, until little Joachim stirred, and sat up with a wailing cry. After it was all over, Frieda went back to her daily tasks, turning an inipassive face to the sympathy of the village. But during the six dragging years she remainded alive, she satisfied her insatiable longing for revenge by inculcating her son, with all her terrible unreasoning hatred of the law. Fast learning the daring trickery of the smuggler, the boy grew up, with his father's flaming hair and powerful frame, and his mother's cool grey eyes. XYith his natural contempt for authority increased by Frieda's half-insane teachings, he plunged with all the force of his great strength and keen intelligence, into the fascinating game that all El- don played. Perhaps the blood of the Black Captains flowed more strong- ly in his veins passing to him their heritage of courage and cunning. 'Whatever the influence, Red Hen- neslaer became a Hitting demon a- long the Caldine coast: evading its armed guardians on land and sea: establishing hidden undiscoverable retreats among the hills: flashing his mocking grin in the face of the apoplectic law, as he ran illicit car- goes of silks, and tea, and wine. lYith the seafarers of Eldon, the hazards of the smuggler's life had long served to still the riotous crav- ing for conflict and adventure But for their red-headed leader, Caldinia was too constricted a space, when there was the whole broad world to wander in. So at twenty, neither stating his mission, or even saying farewell, Joachim Henneslaer van- ished from the coast. During the ten years that followed, only an occas- ional whisper drifted into Eldon. He was in the far east, had touched at Singapore, Canton, Calcutta, had been seen in Borneo, and the Dyak villages of Malaysia. Then, as abruptly as he went, he was back again, a silent, sun-black- ened giant, with great carved rings dangling from his ears. A thin yel- low man of the orient came with him, keeping always at his side, helping, directing, until, watching his fixed gaze, and faltering, uncer- tain step, the fisher-folk knew with horror that he was blind. Apparently with his sight, had al- so gone the reckless bravado, and broad kindliness of old. This man was a new Henneslaer, morose, withdrawn. One who seemed con- tent to stand motionless forever, with his discontented face turned seaward: who repulsed their rough welcome with an indifference which left them in hurt, and astonished bewilderment. Had it not been for his queer com- THE COLLEGIATE 49 panion they would have left llen- neslaer to his lonely devices. But the little man of the orient attracted their curious interest, with his flap- ping, colourful clothes and black, oily queue, hanging almost to his knees. But he seemed oblivious to the staring eyes, as he went etni- ciently about the task of installing' his big helpless master in the little plateau cottage that had been empty for so many years. The first Henneslaer, had built that cabin of heavy ship timber. The kitchen and two tiny bed- rooms, were much the same as the other houses of Eldon. But a lux- ury in finish and furnishing had been lavished upon the long livinng-room that no other dwelling could ap- proach. The room extended all the way across the front of the cottage. Two large, square-paned windows on either side of the door admitted a flood of light. Heavy blackened beams, supported the low roof, and the ceiling between was plastered with brown clay. The same mix- ture had been applied to the walls, with the addition of little brightly coloured pebbles. All sorts of odd articles were hung there, barbed fishing spears, and dried sea-birds' wings, mingled with gaudy prints of sailing ships. Several rusted guns of the blunderbuss period were suspended by the trigger-guards, from long spikes. In one corner, the tattered folds of a tapestry pan- el, and yards of faded, musty silks, were draped from a beam. A huge fire-place of granite blocks took up one entire end of the room. Crin- kled sea-shells were piled upon the broad mantle-piece, amid a jumble of copper hooks and reels of cord. Two massive carved candlesticks rose from the debris at either end. Above the shelf, in heavy, embossed scabbards, two rapiers were crossed. A threadbare carpet covered the broad planks of the floor, and along the wall stood several heavy iron- bound chests. A mohair sofa stood under one of the windows, and up- holstered chairs were scattered here and there, in various stages of tat- tered and time-worn dissolution. The little Chinaman stood looking at that discouraging interior with- out a sign of emotion. His sardon- ically tilted mouth might have drawn down a little, but that was all. Seizing one of the chairs, a squat, armed affair, covered with auled it over worn red velvet, he h ' in front of the fire-place, gave a sigh of satisfaction, and proceeded to clean up. There were many things in that room, that had been there since the time when the skull and cross bones floated at the Eldon masts. But the oriental was no re- spector of traditions. Out came the ancient silks and carpet, the mouldy feathers and pictures and tapestry. The big red chair was re- served for Henneslaer, but most of the rest were relegated to parts unknown. Wlomen of Eldon are much the same as other women of the world. The sight of this masculine house- cleaning, emboldened several to of- fer their assistance. Henneslaer, slouched listlessly in the red velvet chair by the fire, listened fitfully to their conversation. Only occasion- ly did he reply, and then in a vague tone, which showed his thoughts to be far away. VVhile the yellow man, his slant eyes glowing resentfully, slid about on padded feet, like a restless and annoyed cat. Puzzled, and a little afraid, the good house- wives withdrew. Nor did anyone again attempt to intrude upon the strange partnership. The men wondered if Joachim Henneslaer had come back to stay. During his long absence, an ex- asperated government had almost obliterated smuggling from their domain. They had looked eagerly upon the red leader's return as a surety that the trade would revive again as in the old days. His blind- ness, and desire to be left alone, had disappointed them. But they were not completely disheartened, until they watched him stand day after day in the door of his cabin, with 50 THE COLLEGIATE. his sightless eyes turned seaward. Then at last they realized that the hope had been in vain. ln the evening when the strident horns of the returning fishing fleet were sounding up through the Ja- quar Gate, Joachim Henneslaer paced tirelesesly up and down the sand, with the little celestial run- nig beside him, talking to him cease- lessly, in high-pitched, sing song tones. Often, to the curious eyes of Eldon, Henneslaer seemed to be pleading. expostulating. Then the little man's voice would grow softer. and he would sooth and pet him, like a child that wishes to do some- thing it should not, and must be coaxed and cajoled into compliance. Gradually, as month slipped into month, and year into year. these scenes ceased, and thereafter, they walked silently. The blind man's shoulders grew bent. His face wrin- kled in deep, hard lines. Only his flaming hair showed no tinge of gray, no fading touch of age. Un- hindered, it fell almost to his waist in heavy. smouldering waves. The little oriental grew wizened and stooped. getting more and more feeble each day. Qnly then did Henneslaer break his silence towards the village. Hesitatingly, and somewhat timidly, he asked Helda Madurmo to take charge of his cottage. Helda, curi- osity paramount, welcomed the in- vitation. Stout and capable, she entered like a devastating whirl- wind, brushed the cowering Chinese aside, and forwith proceeded to take command. Several times she at- tempted to discover the little man's name, but he only slunk out of her way, sputtering in his own language, a variety of what Helda was sure must be terrible and dreadful things. So she settled the matter by calling him Ching, at which he only sput- tered the more. Toward Joachim, she evinced the protectiveness of an affectionate and exceedingly feathery hen. Her heavy feet clumped with a hitherto un-accustomed rapidity and her black untidy hair fiew in strings and streamers, as she rushed to ful- fil his slightest request. Her fiat, round face beamed in self-satisfac- tion, while she fussily added here and there, a little touch of comfort to the too methodical home. Feminine Eldon, with sarcastic in- nuendo, discussed the fact that Hel- da had taken to wearing vividly striped kerchiefs, and her hitherto drab. clumsy dresses had acquired rainbow hues. The immediate re- sult of this blaze of colour was to awe Ching into a reverent silence. Upon l-lenneslaer's darkness, natur- ally there was no effect. Nor had Helda had any such thought in mind. The metamorphosis was merely an expression of her exhu- berant feeling, for gradually under the irresistible force of her envelop- ing geniality, his mask of morbid despair was wearing away. Now it was Helda who guided his unsteady feet to the door of the cabin, when the wind was blowing. and the horns of the fleet were echo- ing from the entrance of the Gate. Helda, who, from one of the fishing captains, procured the heavy knot- ted stick he carried. Awkward, pleasant Helda who served unques- tioningly, attempting to anticipate his every wish. Yet in the evening, when Joachim Henneslaer was installed in his deep chair before the blazing fire, she no- ticed, with a twitch of pain on her kindly patient face, that it was to the little man of the Orient, he turn- ed with groping fingers, and high- pitched, inexplicable words upon his lips. XYhat tongue they spoke she did not know, nor had she ever gained the slightest hint of an ex- planation of the mystery they pre- sented: the puzzle that had kept Eldon in ignorance for eighteen years. On this day, late in the afternoon, Helda, had, with her usual anxious carefulness, directed the blind giant to the cabin door. There was more than a hint of storm in the wind- gusts that came whining across the THE COLLEGIATE Sl bay. That Joachim's thoughts too were stormy, one might guess from the moody tenseness of his posture, and the scowl that drew down the corners of his big, determined mouth. To Helda this mood was merely another one of his fits back again. She had no other explana- tion. Perhaps the little man she called Ching could have tol'd her had he wished. The sun was sinking, and from over the blue water came the mur- mur of horns, which increased to a harsh blaring, as one by one, square, black sailing ships came slipping through the Jaguar Gate. Eldon's Fishing fleet was returning from dis- tant waters. Smuggling was no longer profitable or safe, and the seamen had turned at last to fishing, as more than a mere screen for more sinister enterprises. The lar- ger fish markets of the coast, a little sceptical at lirst had come to know them well. Joachim Henneslaer, leaning upon his heavy stick in the door of his lofty cabin, fancied he could almost hear ,the splashes as the anchors let go, and the skiffs dropped from the davits for the shoreward pull. Helda, to whom the arrival of the fleet was an event, which only com- plete disability might ignore, ap- peared from the back of the cottage, with a white, knitted shawl thrown hastily over her head. Brushing back the greasy locks that dangled at either side, she shaded her eyes to watch the approaching boats. Abruptly she gave a frantic excla- mation, that caused Henneslaer to move his shaggy head inquiringly. He rarely spoke to her. It's a stranger, she explained. They're bringing a stranger. Then, more positively and excitedly. Captain Ratta has a woman in his boat. The blind man gave no sign that he had heard. So Helda did not waste time. With lumbering haste, she began to clamber down the path. But before she had gone very far, the boats had grated to a stop upon the sand below. With all the gracious suavity that his buccaneering grand-father might have shown to a captive Spanish Countess, Captain Ratta assisted his passenger out. Then, evidently with a purpose decided beforehand, he pointed out the winding, precipitous path, that was the main and only street of Eldon. As they went up, passing shack after shack, Helda, already panting from her exertioins, retraced her steps. There was no need of going to meet the object of her curiosity, when that object was so evidently coming to meet her. The party was now only a short distance below. Undoubtedly their destination was the plateau cabin. Helda noted that the visitor was young, very young, and short, and slender. She wore a dark-brown fur-trimmed suit that awoke something akin to worship in the hsher woman's heart, her pale watery eyes had already been glanc- ing longingly from those little gold- clad feet to her own shapeless boots. As they stepped up to the cabin level, Helda noted that the girl's face was dark, almost swarthy, and her eyes black and sparkling, had something in their shape and po- sition, that reminded her of Ching. Her hair she could not see. A small, tight-iitting hat such as Eldon had never known existed came down over her ears, and, in front, shaded those baffling eyes. Captain Ratta looked around, realized that his pre- sence was superfiuous, and with- drew, with a sweeping obeisance. The stranger stood looking un- certainly at Helda, bulking before her. Then quickly her eyes flashed past, to that grim figure in the door of the cabin. Ah, Joachim Henneslaerf' she said. Henneslaer had neither moved, or spoken during the noise of the girl's arrival. Now he gave no evidence that he had heard her speak. The amazed, and slightly frightened Hel- da, suddenly awoke to her duties as official housekeeper. Requesting the visitor to follow her, she took 52 THE COLLEGIATE Joachinfs arm with much solicitous care, and led him into the cabin, to his big chair by the fire. XYhen she turned around, the girl had followed her in, and was sitting upon a low settee with her narrowed eyes upon Henneslaer's face. Apparently, his insensiblity to her presence was ex- asperating her, for there were little pin-points of fire in those eyes, that reminded Helda of a young panther her brother had once brought back from Prado. Suddenly she felt that she needed Ching's moral support in this tableau. As she scuttled for the door, she saw that the blind man was stirring restlessly, as if those burning eyes were penetrating even his world of darkness. The Chinese was crouched in a corner of the tiny, white-washed kitchen. carving and whittling the oddly shaped piece of wood, that now took up most of his time. To Helda's authoritative summons, and pointing linger, he paid not the slightest heed. At last, with an ex- asperated determination, the annoy- ed woman picked him up bodily. shoved him inside the room she had left, and shut the door. She was somehow afraid to be in the same place with that girl and her panther eyes. The little Chinaman, dazed at the suddenness of his ejection, stood looking uncertainly at the smoky beams, and the brown clay walls. Then, shocking his bewildered sen- ses into instant clearness, a flood of musical. fluctuating words came a- cross the room. It had been many years since the yellow man had heard his own language from the lips of a woman. His parchment face crinkled into a pleased smile. and he answered the greeting. But as his eyes focussed upon the nar- row olive face, they widened in stark unbelief. He shook his griz- zled head violently, as if trying to dispel an halucination. Like a sleep- walker, or an hypnotic, he went slowly over to where she was sit- ting. There was a reverent won- der, in his old eyes, a stark incredul- ity, that slowly changed to dawning belief, and an ecstatic joy. As a courtier of Machti might have done, he bowed low, and stepped aside. After her first words. the girl ig- nored the Chinese. She was speak- ing, softly. bitingly to Henneslaer, who sat with his head bowed over his cane, his great shoulders quiver- ing, as if to ward off something he could not understand, but of which he had a warning premonition. The carved bronze hoops glinted amid his iiery hair. Leaning forward the girl touched them as a devotee might touch a shrine. Those are peculiar rings you wear she said. They are from India, are they not? Have you ever been in India? ln Drangon, per- haps? Donit you remember the yellow river that lapped the walls of Anand Rao's palace, and the al- mond trees that leaned over it? There was a little Mahratta prin- cess who walked in that garden twenty years ago. XVhy do you stare at me so blankly? VVhy don't you speak? Joachim Henneslaer, have you forgotten Balkis? Through those bent, massive shoulders went a shudder that seem- ed to rock the very foundations of his being, his cane dropped to the fioor, and his great hands closed upon the oak arms of the chair with a force that brought blood dripping from beneath the nails. Ah, yes. There was bitter mockery in her voice. He has for- gotten the garden, and the princess, and the red-haired white man who came sliding up under the wall in a sampan one evening and talked to her. After that, his schooner often anchored in the river, did it' not? For almost two years, he kept coma ing after every voyage to stroll un- der the trees, and tell her of his country, and the world he knew. Then he told her he loved her, and pleaded with her to come with him. She was a rajahls daughter-but she loved him-are you beginning to re- member the rest Joachim Hennes- laer? One night she took off the Tl-IE COLLEGIATE 53 carved bronze earrings she wore and placed them in his ears. He prom- ised never to remove them. That is at least one promise he has not broken, Red Henneslaer is it not? Wfell, they planned at last, to run away. He came in askiff in the darkness, with his Chinese first mate. Anand Rao had learned. There was a fight. She was taken back to the palace, and he fled, Joachim Henneslaer-he fled and he never returned-tho Balkis waited for sixteen years. Henneslaer was shaking as if with ague. NVhen he spoke his voice sounded far far away. Everything seemed to get dark suddenly-Chin- da took me away-I couldn't see- I didn't know. Couldn't see what, Joachim Hen- neslaer? Didn't know what? Yes there are a great many things that you did not know. For instance, perhaps you did not know that there was a little daughter of yours, who grew up in Anand Rao's palace. A little girl with flaming hair, to whom her mother, Balkis explained her heritage. A hated, despised little girl, who was early sent to England, that her very life might be spared. Yes it was you, Joachim Henneslaer. Dare you deny it? Speak-what are you looking like that for? She clenched her hands in fury. But the little Chinese had come between them now, high, quavering words gushed from his bloodless lips, his wrinkled hands were curled in claws. He was speaking of hght- ing, one could feel it, in the passion- ate rise and fall of his voice. The girl leaned forward tensely, wide- eyed. Gradually, the fire in the Celestial's voice died out, the words came slowly, sadly, then ended in a few short, quick phrases, that might have been an explanation or a com- mand, but sounded from his wither- ed lips like the crack of a whip. The stranger had arisen to her feet. She took one uncertain step forward, then another. At last, with an impulsive rush, she leaned over the hunched, crouching figure in the big red velvet chair. Her light fm- gers brushed those sightless eyeballs with the gentleness of thistledown. Blind? you are blind? she said questioningly. They blinded you and your chinese mate here took you away? Ah! Balkis will under- stand. Had there been anyone in the room but a decrepit, aged oriental, and a blind man, they would have seen the tremendous effort she was making to take this revelation calm- ly. It was impossible. Helda, sitting in the kitchen with her feet in the oven, heard a sigh that rose to almost a wail. Curios- ity struggled with her fear for a moment, but as was usual with Hel- da, curiosity won. As quietly as pos- sible, she scrambled to her feet, and crept stealthily across the room. Just as her fingers touched the door, it opened and Ching slipped softly out. As Helda started to brush past him, he grasped her arm. The fisherwoman gathered that he did not wish her to enter. This, first, and only attempt to question her actions, aroused her most righteous indignation. It was supremely ri- diculous. Grasping the knob deter- minedly she turned it, and gained one scandalized peep. Joachim Hen- neslaer sat with his head bent on one arm of his chair. On the other, sat the strange girl, one hand on his shoulder, the other idly toying with the carved hoops of his earrings. She had laid aside her hat, and Helda's staring eyes riveted upon her head that gleamed in the hrelight, with wave upon wave of curling flame. Then, gently, but forcefully, Ching closed the door.

Its business, its pleasures, and even its religion, was epitom- ized in the one word-money. Younge Street disdainfully ascend- ed a gentle elevation, leaving the rest of the city below. Indeed Younge Street's only interest in Pe- oria was to extract from it an ex- travagant living. On either side of its broad thoroughfare, majestic elms reared their bare branches to the leaden sky of late Autumn, ex- posing resentful Younge Street to the gaze of the curious throng. The imposing houses stood far back among artistically landscaped gar- dens. protected on the street front by high stone walls, while the thick hedges separating the various es- tates, were elegant suggestions of the suspicion and distrust with which their owners regarded one another. Yet even in its quarrels. the Street never committed the in- discretion of forgetting the exalted position it must sustain. Younge Street, however, like most of its residents, had its skeleton in the cupboard. :Xt the summit of the hill, on the west side of the Avenue, isolated from the rest of the mansions by extensive grounds, stood a house. Once the haughtiest of them all, it was now a picture of desolation and neglect. It had been built originally of white stone, which had become streaked and yellow from the fury of many storms. In front, the columns of a once im- posing portico leaned forward in an alarming manner, threatening the destruction of the entire face of the building. On either side of the main entrance, extended a vista of win- dows, but the square panes were cracked and pierced with jagged holes. From the panelled oak door, which was still withstanding the de- stroying lingers of time, a drivewav, overgrown by long grass and creep- ing vines, led under a porte-cochere, to the empty dilapidated stables. In the gardens, expensive, imported shrubs rioted in wild disorder among the weeds. The thick growth on the inner side of the hedges dividing this ruin from the neighbouring estates was on the opposite side kept in check and neatly trimmed, as if repulsing the advances of an inferior. The other residents in their well-kept magniiicience seem- ed to delight in emphasizing their superiority over a fallen friend. Younge Street, too, soon forgot its obligations. One gray, bitter afternoon in No- vember an old man, whose pinched face and ragged clothes bespoke ex- treme hunger and want, crept tim- idly along Younge Street boulevard and turned in at the broken, swing- ing gates of the decaying mansion. His eyes gleamed with an unnatural light and his features twitched, as he wandered through the lonely, wind- swept grounds. No spot escaped his peering scutiny. 'XVith set face and hands that clenched and un- clenched in agitation, he passed through a weed-grown tennis-court, found his way among the tangled wreckage of a sunken garden, and strayed along the Hagstone border of a slime-choked lily pool. lvow and then he stopped in his pilgri- mage to look into the dank, mil- dewed recesses of a summer house or stroke a fallen bit of statuary as gently as if it were a living, breath- ing creature. There was naught of idle curiosity in the strange intens- ity of his interest. He seemed rather, to be trying to stamp each feature indelibly upon his memory, as if he felt that he was looking upon a beloved friend for the last time. Dusk was coming on and a THE CO LL EGIATE 55 chill autumn gust howled through the empty windows of the deserted building, causing it to creak and groan. Then, mingling with the sound of the wind, from the lips of the old man came the wail of a de- spairing soul and the words he ut- tered were Ruins, ruins, ruins. Slowly with weary, drooping shoulders and tottering step. the wanderer turned away down the drive toward the iron gates, which were creaking lonesomely in the rising wind. As he made his way down the avenue, the luxurious ve- hicles parked before familiar doors brought a bitter smile to his lips, for he, too, like the house he had left, was but a ruin of former great- ness. Turning off Younge Street at the bottom of the hill, his wav led along muddy, unpaved roads in- to the slums of Peoria, where the people crowded together in dark, grim tenements and the smoke from the great factories concealed their wretchedness. Here, at the end of a dingy lane, he reached his miserable lodgings. His numbed fingers strove for some time before he succeeded in light- ing the gas jet. By its iitful light he regarded himself closely in the cracked mirror. lntently. dispas- sionately, he observed each feature -the shaking hands, the lined face, the staring, sunken eyes. He might, perhaps, have been comparing him- self with the ruined house. For a long time he stood there. Then, at last, he began to laugh harshly, in- sanely, and seizing his tattered hat. fled out into the night. In the morning, the mud-brown river that crawled sluggishly past Peoria washed a heavy. unaccus- tomed burden against the slimy piles of the dock. All Peoria experienced a deep in- terest when it was learned that the will of the late Henri Dupont was to be read, in public. Even Younge Street evinced a well-bred curiosity, for the Duponts had form- erly been outstanding figures in the life of the city-Henri Dupont, as owner of the Dupont Cotton Mills, Peoria's leading industry: his gra- cious wife, Alice, as leader of Younge Street's most exclusive so- ciety: and his only son, Richard, as a rising young bank cashier and popular, though easy-going, member of the younger set. Then blinding- ly, crushingly, the end had come. Richard Dupont disappeared and with him went also three hundred thousand dollars from the vaults of the Peoria Mutual Trust. No hint of mercy or offer of as- sistance came from all the accum- ulated millions of Younge Street. So, though the blow came at a time of acute financial strain at the mills, old Henri Dupont proudly paid up to the last dollar. Then, standing amid the ruins of his fortune and his l'fe. sent withering curses forth through clenched teeth into what- ever corner of the world his son, a son no longer, might seek to hide himself. His wife, Alice, unable to bear the veiled taunts and purring insinuations of Younge Street, broke down under the strain and died. Dupont, with the big house alone remaining to him of all his pos- sessions, dropped from the life of Younge Street. Living in the most desperate poverty, with neither the initiative nor desire to re-plant the foundations of his power, he yet clung to the lovely mansion with a maniacal tenacity of purpose. XYith- out means to keep the estate in re- pair, he visited it daily, watching it gradually fall into decay. There, in his garden of memories, he buried all his hopes and in their place grew a sullen hatred of all mankind. Younge Street. returning late from some social occasion, often saw through the dusty windows the eerie light of his candle moving from room to room. Now Henri Dupont was dead in a suicide's grave. The newspapers revived the old scandal in all its wretched details and sensation-lov- ing Peoria went to hear the reading of his will. To my only son, Richard, I leave 56 THE COLLEGIATE the property known as II3 Younge Street which I forbid him to sell or mortgage. It shall be my only monument and, as it stands in its desolation, it will symbolize the ruin of three lives, for in blasting the lives of his father and mother, he has also ruined his own. lt will call him from the land in which he is hiding his disgrace and it will haunt him, asleep or awake. lt will give him no peace until he has wrested it from the clutches of time and rebuilt with his own hand and brain. the mighty fortune he de- stroyed. The lives and happiness of his father and mother he cannot restore 3 but in fulfilling this my last request, 1 give him the satisfaction of knowing that he will have, in at least a measure, atoned. To Younge Street, l leave the curse that it go on living in its same smug self-sufficiency, for by doing so it is more surely damning itself than any word or action of mine might accomplish. The voice of the old lawyer ceas- ed, choked with emotion, A shock- ed hush fell upon the whole gather- ing: the indignant hearers being for the most part speechless with a- mazement and rage. But here and there. a face paled slightly, and for- tunately capacious pockets conceal- ed trembling hands. Then slowly, somewhat dazedly, the people filed from the building. During the weeks that followed a half-hearted search was made for Richard Dupont. The big dailies carried a youthful picture, along with his story and a copy of the astonishing will, into far lands, and, in a waterfront saloon in Melbourne, Richard Dupont, ragged and penni- less, his stolen wealth scattered to the winds of heaven, bent his pre- maturely graying head over a torn bit of newspaper and sobbed. Almost two years later a man, clad in the rough garb of a labourer, stepped off the eastbound train at Peoria. Though he appeared scarce- ly thirty, his hair was graying at the temples and hard lines of dissipation and suffering were stamped inera- dicably upon his face. Yet he walk- ed erect with a lithe step and his eyes carried a hint of grim deter- mination and purposefulness which showed him to be now completely master of himself, whatever his past may have been. Looking curiously about him, he turned down into the factory dis- trict. At the office entrance of the former Dupont Mills he hesitated a moment before a large Help XYanted sign, then, throwing back his shoulders as if shaking off a heavy oppression, he went in. A skeptical foreman gazed at this emaciated applicant with some un- certainty but there was a trace of honesty and strength in his lean face, a persuasive quality in his voice, that decided in his favour. Your name? A brief hesita- tion, then, John Calpin, sir. So John Calp-in went down upon the books of the Dupont Mills as a factory hand at fifteen dollars per week. Years passed and all Peoria mar- velled at the phenomenal rise of John Calpin. ln an astonishingly short time he had risen from the status of a common labourer to the position of manager and part owner of the mills. Younge Street, ever ready to recognize success, would have opened wide the innermost portals of its social life, but he re- mained aloof, impervious, making no friends, apparently caring for none, as lonesome a figure as the day he set foot in Peoria. Frequently he visited the old ruin on Younge Street but this did not occasion re- mark, as the dramatic demise of Henri Dupont had made the place a mecca for the curious and the thrill seeking. On his fortieth birthday, John Calpin sat in his mahogany furnish- ed office and watched the door close behind three silent and exceedingly white-lipped gentlemen. On his desk lay a legal document which repre- sented his complete control of the Dupont Mills. But the man had THE COLL EGIATE 57 paid dearly for his success for he looked old and worn. For a time he thought silently, then, with the light of a sudden purpose in his eyes, he reached for the telephone and summoned his lawyer. Mr. Grimsby entered tim- idly. This was one client of whom he stood in particular awe. Pull up a chair and sit'down said John Calpin, I am going to tell you something which will astonish you: something which no one in Peoria has even faintly suspected. I am Richard Dupont. There! don't start, and don't ask a lot of ques- tions until I have finished saying what I wish to say. Twelve years ago, he went on calmly, eight years after I had fled with the funds of the Mutual Trust, I read in Mel- bourne the account of my father's death and his terrible will. I had dissipated the stolen money and tasted the last dregs of humiliation and wretchedness: but there was something in the blind ferocity of that command that crashed into my blurred consciousness like a Flash of gunpowder. By some means or other I got a job as stoker on an eastbound ship. XYhat I endured on that voyage no one will ever know. Yet in the end it brought me back up the hill. For a year after that I worked at any- thing that happened to offer itself. Then at last, when I felt a sem- blance of my old self, I returned to Peoria. The rest of the story you have seen during the past ten years. To-night I have succeded in ac- complishing a part of my father's request, for the ownership of the Dupont Mills once more justifies their name. And now, the last part of his wish must be fulfilled. Here is a plan for the restoration of the Younge Street house. I desire it to be turned into- a comfortable home where ruined men may regain their perspective of life. A trust fund will be arranged for its up- keep. The details of the transaction rest with you. From time to time I will communicate with 'you con- cerning its completion but you will not see me again for tomorrow I am leaving Peoria forever. ' Five years have passed and Younge Street, the proud, has lost much of its exclusiveness. Often a very lonely, disheartened fragment of humanity climbs the hill to a place where he will find renewed hope and assistance. He stops and over a vine-covered wall, gazes in on an earthly paradise. Here indeed is peace. Then the wanderer looks at the open, welcoming gate and marvels at the strange name above it for the word he reads is RUINS.

This primitive man could no more ex- plain his impulse than we, who sit in cosy homes, can understand our great longing to see other lands, other peoples, other civilizations. As a child, I dreamed of climbing the Alps. I pictured the ruins of ancient Rome and I longed to visit the quaint old city of Jerusalem. Finally, snow-capped peaks, luxur- iant orchards surrounded by crum- bling walls, and curiously clad men, turbaned and almond-eyed, became a confused whole that I could no longer separate in my mind. But 58 THE COLLEGIATE still the desire remained to see these wonders, remained and grew stron- ger with the passing of years. Of course, as I grew older, the realization that my imaginary pic- tures were impossible was impress- ed upon me. That it would take a great deal of travelling to include all the scenes l had so confidently grouped together. l no longer doubt- ed. Nevertheless, l hoped and plan- ned. Then a chance came to visit. not Switzerland, nor Rome, nor yet Palestine, but XYestern Canada. Perhaps l was a little disappoint- ed at the outcome of my dreams: however that may be, l went across our great western plains, waving goldenly beneath the prairie sun, to the Rocky Mountains. There l found the fulfillment of my most impossible dreams. There were mountains. rugged and snow-cap- ped: there were luxuriant orchards rising tier on tier upon the uplands1 there were turbaned men, olive- skinnecl and crafty eyed. lndeed, l lacked the ancient walls falling a- way to dust but in their place were miles of wooden finmes bearing life- giving water to the orchard country. Thus l remember my tirst journey which only lixed in me more Firin- ly my love of travel. Yesterday I was talking to a little three year old girl who said and Tommy 'nd I went 'sploring a great, big woods. Then she told me a story of adventure that only the mind of childhood could conceive. She was not being untruthful, she firmly believed what shewas say- ing. Certain trivial instances had impressed themselves on her baby mind and become enlarged by her natural longing, to see the things she told. Later a man who had tra- velled over a great part of the world spoke of the child's story. I can remember when l imagined just snch happenings, he said and then, laughingly, and, believe me I can dream of even greater impossibil- ities now. Every nature inherits a certain love for travel: some can gratify it: others are destined only to dream of the places they hope to visit. But how good it is to be able to dream! XYhen one is condemned to a life of dishwashing, mending and the changing of recipes it is exhilarating to picture Italian grov- es under a silver moon, oases dream- ily green in the blazing Sahara and Mediterranean waters lazily lapping a colorful shore. 1--C 2 3 I I 1 I 8 I I I I 8 3 3 1 3 I I I 3 I I I I I I 'I D- NIGHTMARE By .elrrlzzr l.c.slic, l. -'K I I 8 I I 3 I 2 I I I I I I I I 3 I I I I I 1 I I I 1 H TGLEAK, starless sky, a wind- swept heath and in the distance bare, forbidding hills-this was the setting for a heavy ominous silence broken only by the gutterals of the wind. A tall tree silhouetted a- gainst the threatening sky, tossed and writhed in the grasp of the wind which tore at it with clammy gusts. The moon, after one glance of horror, darted behind a ragged cloud, and came out only for shud- dering glimpses of a world grown suddenly baleful and vile. Strange forces were at work on that heath, forces of good and for- ces of evil. The shrubbery felt them, twisting and turning from sudden and invisible attacks. The tiny field mice felt them, and stirred uneasily in their hasty retreats. The air was full of emotions, a life not to be denied because it was un- known. Even the girl gazing out over the heath from her lonely ca- bin, became tense with a momen- tary regret that rashness and con- tempt had lead her here alone to THE COLLEGIATE. 59 prove the folly of current super- stitions. The evening before at a house' party ten miles away, conversation had veered for a moment to the haunted heath north of the -lordka Mountains. Strange stories were told, one man having passed a night on the heath went insane, another lived alone in a house with barred doors and windows and never ven- tured outside unless heavily armed. XVhen one girl suggested that they spend that night on the heath the other members demurred and in a fury of contempt she vowed she would go alone. The others laugh- ed and promptly forgot the circum- stance. Hut the girl went and now facing the thick darkness full of the muttered imprecations of the wind, she remembered the weird stories of the previous night. Finally through sheer will-power she slept. Slept? Perhaps: at any rate her adventure was so wildly improbable that you will think it kinder to say she slept. Somewhere near midnight she a- woke in a delirium of pain. The room was full of long. creamy shadows that whispered in thin, si- bilant voices like the rustling of dry leaves. They were tearing at her body, tearing her from out herself. Suddenly there was no pain and an- other wraith-like figure appeared. 'lihey all fled then leaving a pain- contorted human husk on the floor. XYith a rushing sound they eagerly assured their reluctant comrade that she should come back to the clay in the cabin before dawn for, they said, You are not a real air-child, you are the product of centuries of evo- lution. Wle took you only because we need help in our battle to-night against the children from the heart of the earth. They swam about in the air with long easy strokes wait- ing for the enemy forces, all the while uttering a plaintive, mournful wail like the soughing of the wind over the heath, for their dreamlike existence was about to be disturbed by war. Then the earth forces came, great hulking, grey figures, shaped like eels, silent and evil. They threw out a curious musty odor and im- mediately glided over the heath to meet the descending air forces. They fought, fought like demons, like maniacs, like nothing that hu- man beings have ever known. The clammy grey earth-creatures mere- ly enfolded the air children, absorb- ed them and glided on. The air- children, with a horrible moaning, sucked the air from around their foes enclosing them in a vacuum which quickly disintegrated the eel- like enemy leaving only a greyish shadow. Up and down the battle raged till the grey earth force fled Ill wild though silent despair. Again there was a wild rush through the air. into the cabin. A- gain that terrible agony while the air-people forced their resisting comrade into a human form, laugh- ing the while over a mistake they had once made in putting the wrong air-child into a man hulk. This man, people said, was insane and a- gain they laughed with uncanny, hateful mirth. A last terrific wrench, a searing agony and the girl scram- bled from the floor, staggered to the door and gazed out over the heath, grown gentle and friendly under the caressing light of the dawn. Gone were the shadows, the misty figures, the struggling elements: no trace remainded except in the hunted terror of the girl's eyes. Years passed, the girl's terror lessened but she never forgot. XYhile common sense told her that the stormy night and her over-wrought nerves were the cause of her night- mare, still fear never left her. At length in despair of finding peace in any other way she and a chum went to the cabin and remained there all night. Nothing happened: but an in- sidious inner voice reminded her that she had been alone before, she was not alone now, she must never be alone again. Like a hunted thing, she surrounded herself with people. friends, anyone would serve to ward 60 THE COLLEGIATE off a return of that torment. Life became a thing of deadly fear. a fear of being alone, a fear of pain and a- bove all a fear of the dark with its horrid inmates. In moments of lu- cidity she felt that those unknown forces would never trouble her a- gaing she knew her greatest enemy was this ever-present omnipotent fear. 'Ilhen one night in her luxurious crowded home they came again. Fear, overwhelming and terrible, crushed her against the wall. She listened to their queer, whispering voices, she cried out and in her terror implored them to release her, to take her with them, never to send her back to the horror of her fear- laden existence. Exultingly they told her how to release herself and then in hurried rustling they swept through the house like leaves in a gale. A pistol shot startled the still- ness and in its wake came a hint of eery laughter. 1-cs:11:sxsxxxxxxxzrzzrzzzzzsxa- MIISUNDERSTOOD 4 I I I I I 3 8 8 3 I I I 3 1 1 I I I I I I I 1 8 8 3 I H ID you ever make what you thought was an exceedingly witty observation upon the personal appearance of your teacher from a rear view as he faced the blackboard and have him turn around, glance at you and demand what you were talking about?

Eve had hair. Helen of Troy had hair. Medusa had hair, although probably not the same variety as that of the famous Seven Sutherland Sisters. Doubtless, too, each of these widely famed ladies experienced the same trials as does our modern boyish- bobbed flappers. I can imagine Eve. as she prepared for the celebrated journey into the wilderness, anxious- ly inquiring of Adam does my hair look all right dear? Having hair is the privilege of rich and poor alike. IYhen two strange women meet although they may not have another thing in common, the subject of hair will always prove the tie that bindsf' Mrs. A will re- mark Really, my hair is a sight these days.

A few years ago the question which they raised would be, to bob or not to bob. Now, however, we hear the subject debated, to grow, or not to grow. Miss X. will quote the Ladies Home journal to prove that long hair is coming back. W'hy, all the actresses are letting their's grow, she says.

People al- ways will have hair, and no human power on earth can deviate Nature from her course. My own experiences with hair have been sad and painful. From the time I was three years old, nine o'clock every morning would hnd me sitting on the side porch scream- ing, Ouch, that hurts, aw mama how many more are there? Mo- ther's assurance that there were only eight more curls to be twisted about her capable finger, proved but a ,lob's comfort. My fortunate, straight haired, Dutch-cut, com- panions would run about. shouting in gay freedom, while I wretched victim, would sit there pinioned to my chair. Indeed, I, too, was shout- ing but not in carefree abandon. I-low often did I entreat and supli- cate that those curls might yield to the barber's scissors! Always my request would meet with a shocked refusal and I would be reminded, 'fSo1ne day maybe you will wish you had your lovely hair back again. At that time the prophecy seemed extremely improbable. Many years later, however, I found that it was all too true. IYhen the bobbed hair craze was initiated, I was one of the last to yield. Much as I wanted to rid my- self of those long hated curls, family permission was not forthcoming. For two years I pleaded, argued, scolded, coaxed, wept, and tried every known method of cojolery and persuasion, but to no avail. Then one line April morning perseverance prevailed: The defence yielded, and I finally made that much-longed-for trip to the Barber Shop. My pre- viously bobbed friends had told me very blood-curdling stories about the terrible chill that creeps down 62 THE COLLEGIATE your spine at the first snip of the scissors. Imagine my chagrin, when after patiently awaiting the desired thrill. I realized that all my hair was off, and I had not experienced a single strange sensation. not even that of regret. Getting my hair bobbed had been a miserable dis- appointment. and I resolved never to do it again. That the problem of hair is a par- ticularly feminine one, is not at all a true assumption. The strange ap- paritions one sees, in the tonsorial parlors along Front Street are suf- ficient to dispel any such conjecture. Men sit there with steaming towels twined about their thinly clad skulls. men having strange-smelling lotions rubbed into their protesting scalpsl men having three or four lonely hairs carefully clipped, and skilfully brushed over a shining, rosy cranium -all these are indisputable proofs that women are not the only mem- bers of the Ancient Order of the Slaves to llair. By the time a youth has passed his later brilliantines. he is beginning to enter the stage when the barber says, Getting a little thin on top sir. try our 'l-Rooster' tonic sir? Truly' the introduction of the closely-cropped head has done very little to relieve man of his ancient oppression. For over a century, deluded wo- man, as she curled, waved, frizzed, and puffed her ostentatious locks, really believed that her masculine companion in the next room pos- sessed a vast advantage over her with his shorn head. At last she took her courage in her hands, drew a deep breath and almost over night the braids. rolls, Psyche knots, puffs, twists, and all the rest of it were gone. Only then was the popular fallacy revealed in its true light. There are, it is true, many women who still say, O yes, 1ny hair is perfectly lovely since I have had it bobbedf' However, as Barnum once said. You can fool some of the peo- ple all of the time, and you can fool all of the people some of the time, but you cannot fool all of the peo- ple all of the time. So, though woman clings stub- bornly to her abbreviated tressesg the fortnightly trip to the barber. the marcelling, shaving and clipping. has destroyed her happy delusion that Bobbed hair, my dear .-Xlice, is simply no trouble at all. -4 3 I 8 8 I I I I I I 3 I I I 3 8 1 I I I 3 3 I I I I I O- WHEN ONE IS VERY TALL 4 I I I I I I I 3 8 I 9-C I I 66 Y! but she's talll 'XYhatever do you feed her on?

Now people say to me, 'fOh, but you are so tall and then add as if I needed some consolation, But you can be thankful you are not fat too.

XYhy will people persist in having coat closets under stairways? There was one of these abominations at my grandmotherls house. Her own sons and daughters had grown up accustomed to the low door of this little chamber of horrors,' but I THE COLLEGIATE 63 was never there often enough to re- member about it. So, of course, I bashed my forehead going in, and cracked the base of my skull as I backed cautiously out. VVhat I had fondly hoped would be a day of pleasure was often turned to one of misery and raging headache. All because the carpenter who built that wretched little cubby-hole had evidently forgotten that there were tall people in the world. I think that it was when I was eleven or twelve years old and shooting up very rapidly that I suf- fered most from self-consciousness over my height. Indeed mother de- clared that she could see how much I had grown overnight. She would lengthen my dresses about every three months on an average, and in summer you could see a series of rings around the bottoms of my gingham dresses where they had been lengthened, had had just time enough to fade a little and then been let down another inch. Some people thought it very clever to tease me about this and if their object was to make me suffer agon- ies of humiliation they certainly succeeded. My burning ears caught innumerable words in the conversa- tion going on around me, lanky, uawkwardf, leggy, always 501116- thing that I considered as applying especially to my elongated self. However these were little sorrows that left no lasting impression for really I have always found a great many advantages in my height. A few which I remember giving me the most enjoyment were that I could nearly always beat the other girls, and in fact most of the boys in a race, I could reach farther out on an apple tree branch and get the extra red and ripe apples, and what I fear worried my mother more than my acrobatic stunts in the orchard, I used the shelves of the pantry as a ladder with which to reach the hidden dainties on the top shelf. As I grew older and these pleasures lost some of their charm, I realized that others assumed new importance. I doubt if any normal young person can deny having at some time cher- ished a longing to be grown up. For my own part, having achieved the dignity of live foot eight in extreme youth, I secretly thought that I was really grown up. Alas! many and severe were the jolts I received be- fore the realization dawned on my mind that being grown up meant a great deal more than growing up- ward.

The moonlight, streaming into the dim recess of the pit, disclosed a tiger-tawny body crouched in a re- mote corner, ears alert. amber eyes smouldering fiercely. She was trap- ped! Since the glittering sun in the heavens had travelled from the tall gaunt pine to its rest behind a dark- ly outlined mountain, she had been hopelessly insistantly, leaping and scrambling up the steep sides of her prison: until her claws were torn and bleeding, and her body aching and fatigued. Only then, did Kayla fall back with a stiHed sob, and while she caught her breath in short spasmodic pantings, gathered her remaining strength in one last ap- pealing roar, to her royal mate, whom she knew was stalking in the vicinity. From the distance an an- swering rumble sounded through the still, stifling air, but Kayla did not hear it.

Then scrambling and struggling, she was hauled to the edge of the pit, and in a last ex- hausted effort. she turned snarling to face her captors. There was a dull thud, and the golden-brown body lay stretched on the turf. They picked her up roughly, and placed her in a heavily barred cage, fastened to a wheeled platform. Then quickly and silently they with- drew. .-X scream of frenzied rage awoke Kayla. Dazedly she opened her eyes, and with fierce silent joy. be- held him on the nearest mountain peak, silhouetted against a full moon. Ah! She would be avenged. Hihile she threw back her head to make reply, a sharp crashing volley resounded through the heavy at- mosphere. The dark figure swayed. tottered, and disappeared from sight. The crowd was especially dense in Picadilly this season on account of a travelling circus visiting Lon- don. XYith indifferent eyes, Kayla watched the surging faces that thronged about her gilded cage. NYith rasping laughter they threw peanuts to the chattering monkeys. XYith uproarious and boisterous shouting they mocked the foolish kangaroo, ridden by a spangled, chalk-faced clown. In fear they watched daring Japanese trapeze performers balancing their bright parasols at giddy heights. But when they found themselves stand- ing before Kayla's cage, the smile faded. and wonder filled their eyes. For Kayla was the most perfect creature their narrow world had seen. A lithe, slender body, black and tiger-tawny, silent amber eyes smouldering like the embers of a dying fire, regal head, and power- ful sinews rippling under a silken hide. Strength and beauty com- bined, in fearful symmetry. Could a more perfect example of creation be found they thought as they stood transfixed in their silent awe and admiration of the Sphinxlike figure. And still Kayla's inscrutable eyes gazed into the dim distance, the re- mote past, far from the jostling mob, the clash and clatter of the traffic of a great metropolis, to a lonely mountain peak, where a shattered, dying mate, proud and fearless to the last, raised his shag- gy head to the stars, supreme in his power and freedom: then uttering a grim defiant roar was stilled for- ever. qii I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I- NIAGARA AT NIGHT -I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I H HOUGH Niagara at any time is a sight we might carry in our memory forever, those of us who have seen the Falls at night will never forget the beauty and glory of this majestic cataract. By the light of day, we see what is perhaps, one of the most awe-inspiring of the world's natural pictures, the rampant river, as it rushes headlong to the brink, then leaps far out, to fall with a reverberating crash into its new channel, down which it goes, foaming between broken, towering cliffs, to the lake. But Niagara at night presents a totally different aspect. It assumes a gentler, more subdued mien. The angry, white-capped waves. seem to be smooth billows topped with Heece. The thunder of the waters can still be heard, but it too, is muf- THSE COLLEGIATE 65 fled by the enfolding blanket of night. Instead of the raging, roar- ing, torrent, we see a Niagara a- sleep. The water drifts drowsily down the river, to fall helplessly in- to its lower course. As twilight deepens into black night, this dusk-wrapped creature receives a rude awakening. In place of a river of ink, we see a Ni- agara transformed-a flood of mol- ten silver Howing swiftly onward. The misty spray is tossed upward in feathery clouds, while the bleak, surrounding cliffs are charged with radiance: and the dim tracery of foliage, emerges into a shimmering green. Frowning buildings on the embankment gleam in the ever- deepening gloom. , Now the great Hydro batteries are adjusted, and suddenly over our heads, blazes out a replica of the Northern Lights. For perhaps live minutes we watch them play with the stars, then, as swiftly as they appeared, they are gone: and in their stead, we see a perfect e- clipse of the moon. Following, come many other intricate electric- al displays, which amaze and de- light us with their weirdly chang- ing effects, and marvellous precision. Abruptly these also cease and our eyes gaze in expection of a darkened Niagara. But no, we see instead, a river and cataract of blood, which rapidly changes to royal purple, to emerald green, to sky blue. Then a succession of colours are thrown on the falls as on a screen, in a va- riety of shades that it would be im- possible to duplicate on canvas, yet softened to delicate ribbons of in- imitable loveliness by the ever-fall- ing waters. All good things must -come to an end, and with a last fantasy of pul- sating colours, the lights are turned off. But we have seen something which will leave an impression on our minds for the rest of our lives, for we have seen a sight, the gran- deur of which has never been equal- led. And, as we stroll away, we still hear rumbling in our ears, the vibrant, monotonous breathing of a Niagara, once more asleep.

'C I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I Oli HEN a girl enters the Sarnia Collegiate and T e ch n i cal School, she has three courses from which she may choose: the Tech- nical. the Collegiate and the Com- mercial. I will endeavour to give you a review of the Technical De- partment. In our department, we study in addition to Mathematics, English, History and Science, Millinery, Dressmaking, Home-nursing, Do- mestic Science and Household Management. In our Millinery classes We learn how to make our hats. We select the materials we use to cover and trim them. Dressmaking speaks for itself, and it is one of the most essential subjects in our course. The girls know how often they have seen a pretty dress in a magazine, and have wished that they might have one like it, At the end of her train- ing in dressmaking a girl can make her own dresses and not only that but she is efficient enough to open a costume shop of her own or take a position as a designer in a large store. Then there is Home-nursing. In this class we are taught simple home remedies for burns and cuts. XN'e learn the symptoms of ordinary di- seases and the care of a patient in the home. This is helpful to a girl 66 THE COLLEGIATE not only in cases of accidents but in guarding her own health. In Household Management we learn how to plan and furnish the various rooms of the house and how to care for them. In stores like Eaton's in Toronto, when girls wish to secure positions in the shopping service. preference is given to those who have had training in I-Iousehold lllanagement. Cookino' is one of the most fun- 6 damental subjects in the Technical course. Here we learn how to choose and prepare our food. This knowledge is indispensable not only to the housekeeper but to the girl who intends entering the nursing profession and to the working girl who has to choose her own food in restaurants. So you see the very great value to a girl of a course in the Technical Department. W-Cxxxzxzzstxzzz I I I 3 I I I I I I I 8 8 I O- OLD HO ME WEEK By luv: Yirklcs, V. -C I I I I I I 1 I I I I I I T was the first night of Old Home XYeek, and our quiet Scotch town presented a more live- ly appearance than ever before. Front street was ablaze with lights and swarming people. Everywhere gaily coloured pennants and flags were waving their welcome to the old boys. XYell if it isn't Bill John- son. just the same old Bill. ejacu- lated a certain John Jones. There's Marjorie McGregor. the one that went to Californyf' a robust lady whispered somewhat loudly to her companion. Countless exclamations such as these were heard. On the square. the scene was still more ani- mated, a veritable street carnival. Children excitedly rode their fav- ourite animals on the merry-go- round: staid grown-ups whirled a- round in the whip until breathless. and more than one spectator noticed a somewhat corpulent photographer whizzing through the air in a min- iature aeroplane. On every side booth-keepers shouted Hot-dogs here, try your luck twenty-five cents, and one little fellow more original than the rest kept crying out A little dog here waiting to be eatf' Up the street people were dancing to the strains of Show me the way to go home while in the distance, a hand was playing Abide zttrtxrttzxzxzo-H with Me. Sarnia's old boys and girls were very happy and certainly the greatest expectations 'of the committee must have been realized. One of the main events of the week was the pageant which de- picted the early settlement and de- velopment of Sarnia. The hrt epi- sode represented the dawning of creation. In the distance ghostlike forms were seen approaching. As they drew near they lifted their veils and we saw the dawning of creation, the birth of land, sky. flowers and water, shaped and moul- ded into a beautiful harmony of movement. In a short time the Red Men appeared, frightening away the spirits of creation. For many years the Indians lived unmolested in their little village until in sixteen eighty- six the district was claimed by Commandant Duluth for Louis XIV. This was perhaps the most effective scene of the play. The settlers were almost baffled by the hindrance of the forest, rivers, and mists, fever, famine and death. Still they kept coming till in eighteen thirty-five, thirteen log houses and one frame house comprised the village which was later named Sarnia. The last episode showed Sarnia as it is today. Groups of children representing the various nationalities to be found in the city tripped gaily across the THE COLLEGIATE 67 stage. Never before had Sarnia seen such a great patriotic spectacle. The old boys will not soon forget the morning when they all went back to school again, a large crowd of men and women, representing almost every profession. School was called to order by a tap-bell, which required much shaking to in- duce it to function. After the roll call, the teacher called out in his sonorous voice Peter McGibbon come forward,' and as Peter stopped hestitatingly near the door, he pointed with his long finger to a place in the middle of the platform saying right there Peter. Need- less to say the other scholars were having a great deal of fun at Peter's expense. The culprit was found guilty of playing truant and sen- tenced to translate five hundred lines beginning at Mary had a lit- tle lamb. Then other students were called on for their lessons. Dolly Grey while reciting his part expressed his disappointment at Davy's absence. On the whole the work was very poorly done, which was unfortunate, for Mr. Goodison, president of the board of education was present and he sharp- ly reproved the instructor for the bad conduct of his class. However to show that there was no ill-will felt, he presented the old master with a purse. In replying Mr. Grant said. K'You were a hard lot to handle, and I had to act sterner than I felt, but I always knew you were a lovable crew. On Sunday, Sarnia paid honour to her boys who can never return, to those lads who are sleeping in Flan- ders. In the afternoon, the Great VVar Veterans marched from the city hall to Victoria park where they placed a wreath on the war mem- orial. A strange stillness fell over the crowd as a chaplain spoke of our fallen heroes and urged those who are left to remain loyal to the ideals for which they gave their lives. , ' But it is all over now. The streets are quiet. No banners of welcome decorate the shops. The square is silent. Nineteen twenty-live Old Home VVeek is history, but the old boys are looking forward to the next reunion with keen and pleasant expectations. -C 1 I 1 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I 1 I I I I I 9' EXAMINATIONS By M.

But for me, the examin- ations that come before each of these holidays mix more than a lit- tle bitterness with the joy. Follow- ing Mark Twain's injunction, Nev- er put off till to-morrow, what you can do the next day, I usually leave all preparation until the very last night. Then, after I have read, and worried, and crammed myself into a state of frantic terror, I rely at last upon sheer luck to carry me through, and endeavour to pick out the possible questions. It is some consolation to know that I have at least one chance in a hundred of being correct. The next morning, after an hour and a half of psuedo-sleep, I crawl weakly out of bed, trying to devise some plausible reason for remaining at home. Unfortunately, no logical excuse has ever presented itself, as I am one of those beings blest with the best of health. I often have, however, a severe headache, owing to the undue exertion of the pre- vious evening. But after-I have washed in ice-cold water, and eaten a hearty breakfast, even that dis- appears, in spite of all my efforts to coax it into more energetic action. 68 THE COLLEGIATE IYhen all Cl'l3I1CC of reprieve is gone, I start off to school, with the hopeful idea, that there may be time to take a last peep into that Latin rule-book, of whose contents I have such a dubious memory. On enter- ing the Collegiate, I have the feeling that one of the former f'Blab schools, of the Kentucky mountains. must have been revived for this par- ticular morning. I have a distract- ed desire to cover my ears and run. Hut there is no escape from the ava- lanche of questions that descend upon me. Do we have Geometry or Phys- ics, first? XYhere was the battle of Hera- clea fought? XYhat is the Latin word for pecan? The French word for don- key? or the Greek word, German or Spanish word for something else. The babble certainly does not tend to have a soothing effect on my al- ready protesting nerves. I am not quite sure whether Pericles lived in Greece or Ancient Britain. In the midst of the clamour, the hells ring and there is an abrupt, deadly silence over all. The fatal minute has arrived, the papers are being distributed. Then comes the command, All books away. The first glance at the paper gives me palsy, which leaves me shaking, trembling, and coldi This passes away and I begin to burn from head to foot, especially my left ear. At last I know just how a trapped rab- bit must feel, and like the rabbit, there is no escape for me. It is im- possible to dramatically faint, or even to have a nose-bleed, as I have never been subject to these weak- nesses before in my life, and the examiner is a noted skeptic. Already the diligent students a- round me are rapidly writing, in- deed, many have a page or more written, while I sit still biting the end of my pen. Suddenly, I receive an inspiration, and write rapidly un- til it is exhausted, then chew my pen for another space of time, and repeat the process over and over, until the bell rings, and I must re- gretfully .sign my name. XYhen I come out of the room. everyone is comparing answers, but strangely, none ever seem to co- incide with mine. So I quickly and quietly depart from the school, hop- ing against hope, that my paper may be accidentally mislaid.

Andre Maurois, qui en aout IQI4 fut attache a un des regiments anglais en qualite d'interprete. Avant la guerre c' etait un frabricant de drap a Roubaix et at Elbeuf. Mais il etait toujours interesse a des choses lit- teraires et une fois il avait gagne un prix de philosophie au concours gen- eral ce qui lui donna plus d'ambition. Surtout avait-il interet at l'Angle- terre et aux Anglais. Selon Les Nouvelles Litteraires, le dix janvier 1925 il prepairait une Vie de Disraeli qui plus tard a ete san doute. Ariel, la vie de Shelley que je viens de lire est le livre francois plus charmant que j'ai jamais vu. L'autre jour, j'ai aussi decouvert une essai The Sorrows of Young XYerther dans The Alantic Monthly. Mais c'est tout ce que je sais de cet auteur. Andre Maurois commence la vie du poete Shelley a son arrivee au col- lege d'Et0n. A A ce temps la cletait un tres joli enfant aux yeux bleu vif, aux che- veux blonds boucles et au teint deli- cat. C'etait un garcon singulier. Nl'ecole, tous les petits etaient les esclaves des grands. Le pe- tit devait faire le lit de son niaitre, brosser ses habits et nettoyer ses souliers. Shelley pensait que cette brutalite etait contraire at la dignite humaine et il dit, qu'il ne servirait point. Les autres ne Vaimaient pas et l'appelait Shelley le fou. Tous les jours le pauvre enfant aimait it lire au bord de la riviere mais les garcons le trouvaient chaque fois. Ils le chassaient, le cermaient contre un mur, ensuite jetaient des balles trempees dans la boue. Un le pin- Qait, un autre faisait glisser dans l'eau son cher livre. Entin fatiguee par l'affaire, l'ecole se retirait pen- dant que Shelley relevait son Dide- rot on son Voltaire et allait dans les belles prairies at Cote de la Tamise. En octobre 1810 Shelley alla at Ox- ford. La vie du college l'enchanta car elle combinait tous les charmes de la vie monastique avec la liberte d'esprit du philosophe. Il se levait quand il voulait, il se couchait quand il voulait, il mangeait ee qu'il vou- lait, et en effet il faisait toujours ce quyil voulait. Mais il avait des idees etranges et il lisait des livres sin- guliers. Un jour il ecrivit une bru- chure. La Necessite de l,.'Xtll6LlSlllCH et signa le nom J6I'61'IllZ1l1.Stl1liClBy. Quelques jours apres. les fonction- naires du college le de-:ouvrirent et ils expulserent lie jeune auteur. Apres etre expulse, Shelley et son ami Hogg, qu'on avait aussi expul- se vinrent at Londres. M. Timothy, son pere etait furieux. Il refusa de lui donner de l'aide au moins qu'il ne rentrat immediatement at Field- Place sa maison, et ne renoncat it tout commerce avec M. Hogg. Shel- ley repondit. je refuse absolument mon consentement aux propositions contemies dans votre lettref' Mal- heureusement, un jour le pere de M. Hogg mit son iils dans une etude d'avoue, et le pauvre Shelley resta tout seul. Ses soeurs lui envoyaient leur argent de poche et cela etait tout ce qu'il avait pour vivre. Mais ils se revoltait toujours contre les coutumes etablies. Il desirait sur- tout que tout le monde fut content. Puis un jour il trouvra une pauvre jeune lille qui n'etait pas heureuse. Son pere, un vieux cafetier, la faisait aller a une ecole ou les eleves ne lui parlaient pas et ne repondaient me- me plus a ses questions, et ou les maitresse la consideraient comme une iille perdue. Enlin le bienfaisant Shelley se maria avec la pauvre Harriet, pour la faire contente. Le lendemain, la diligence d'Edinbourg emmena vers le Nord ces deux en- fants qui avaient ensemble trente- 76 THE COLLEGIATE. cinq ans. Apres quelque temps son pere lui donna une petite rente et ils allerent ri Dublin. Les Irlandais etaient beaucoup epouvantes au sepeticisme de l'homme qui voulait etre leur defenseur. ll disait 'Kque Veniancipation des Catholiques etait un pas sur le chemin de l'emancipa- tion totale, que la bonte et non l'ha- bilete doit etre le principe de toute politique et qu'enhn avant d'atten- dre leur liberation par les Anglais, les lrlandais devaient se liberer eux- memes en devenant teinperants, jus- tes. et charitablesf' Tous les jours ies jeunes reformateurs marchaient clans les rues avec les poches bour- rees de phamphlets qu'ils donnaient quelqu'un l'air possible. Dail- leurs du balcon de leur petit appar- tement il repandaient les saines doc- trines. Mais les lrlandais ne l'ap- preciaient pas et il retournerent a Londres. Apres quelque temps il se separa d'Harriet et alla en Europe avec Marie, la julie nlle de M, God- win. Ce n'etait qu'au bout de quel- que temps quand Harriet fut morte qu'il se maria avec Marie Godwin. lin ISIS. apres avoir passe quel- ques ans en .-Xngleterre et en Suisse. ils partirent pour llltalie. Le ciel clair de l'ltalie, ce Ciel tidele sans un image inspirait Ariel. ll alla at Pise et c'est la, dans la grande soli- tude des bois on des montagnes qu'il ecrivait ses poemes superbes. Ry- ron demeurait pres de lui et les deux etaient de bons amis. Hunt et Tre- laxvney etaient aussi avec lui en Italie. Shelley aimait la mer et lui et son ami a fait construire un ba- teau. Ensuite il alla demeurer au bord de la Baie Spezzie. Shelley aimait beaucoup etre couche dans le bateau, lisant Sophocle ou comme un enfant enehante, regardant dans le ciel clair. Un jour Ariel et son ami llvilliams allerent a Pise pour visister leurs amis. Quand le jour de leur depart fut arrive, le temps etait mauvais. ll etait deux heures quand ils par- tirentg il y avait peu de vent et ils esperaient arriver ei la nuit tom- bante. :Xpres leur depart l'air dans le port du quel ils furent partis de- vint brulant. ll faisait tres obscur. Les bouliees de vent etaient furieus- es et de larges gouttes de pluie re- bondissaient de la mer cle plomb. Su- bitenient un coup de tonnerre con- vrit tous les bruits. Quelques heures plus tard quand Forage eut passe, il n'y avait plus un seul bateau sur la mer. Marie et Jane. sa sceur leurs maris. attendaient en vain Cinq at six jours plus tard on trou- va les corps sur la plage a Yiareggio. Ariel avait dans une poche un SO- phocle et dans l'autre un volume de Keats encore ouvert. Les deux corps etaient brulesqa la maniere des Grecs. Comme il regardait le corps de Shelley Byron dit.

A Physical Education programme is a recognized and essential part of every High School curriculum. lt is in the Gymnasium or on the laying Z5- p . 6 field that the girl cultivates her real nature and true spirit: it is in the strain of competition that honesty and fair play show at their best. The value of exercise as a health-building agent -is coming to be gen- erally recognized. Athletics, gymnastics and dancing are of undeniable value to school life. Athletics teach co-operation, the foremost principle of discipline they discourage selfishness and encourage and develop perseverance, loyal- ty, sociability and honesty, thus physical education linked with mental ed- ucation, makes the complete educational whole. Miss Marjorie Fenwick, a graduate of Varsity, came to us at the beginning of this year and has done much to encourage athletics and to bring to a high standard, all work in physical training. BASKETBALL The activities of our Girls' Bas- ketball Team for the 1925-26 sea- son was not very productive of vic- tories but there is some good ma- terial in this crew and no doubt they will prove to be valuable members of next year's team. Mary Simp- son, Mary Cobban and Thelma Mc- Kay are newcomers to the team who give promise of future basket- ball success. Last year's players who are miss- ing from the squad are Florence Smith and Florence Laugher, both valuable guards and Ruth Kirkpa- trick, one of the forwards who is managing this year's team. Vida Simpson, who played in our first game, has been absent ever since on account of illness. XVe hope she will soon be with us again. The exhibition games gave the girls a fine chance to get in form for coming games and in all these games good sportmanship prevailed. These encounters with other schools are very profitable. Good clean sport is promoted and acquaintances made with other schools. The personnel of the team which represents the S.C.l. Sz T.S. in the XY.O.S.S.A. Basketball Series this year includes: Coach, Miss Marjorie Fenwick, Capt. Jean XVheatcroft, Mgr. Ruth Kirkpatrick, Helen Don- ald, Jennie lYise, Mary Simpson, Mary Cobban, Vida Simpson, Muriel Teskey, Bertha Lewis, Bernice Simpson, Thelma McKay. VVe also wish to thank the follow- ing who by coming down to prac- tices have helped to further the suc- 80 THE COLLEGIATE l r GIRLS' BASKETBALL T EAM Left to Right--Miss Fenwick Icoachb, Jennie XYise, Mary Cobham, Thelma McKay, Mary Simpson, Muriel 'll-skey.

S.C.l. 18-Old Girls 29 'llhe first exhibition game was played during the Christmas Holi- days, the Old Girls being our visitors. Despite a considerable lack of team work the graduates managed to win a very close contest with the score of go-18. Old teammates on the opposing line lent keener interest in the game for our girls. Leila Fraser, Mary Flesher and Helen Fraser very even- ly represented the forward line of the Old Girls, while Florence Laugher, Margaret Dawson, Mary XYatson and Marion Henderson al- ternated as guards. Mary Simpson and Jennie XYise swelled our total by contributing seven points each. S.C.l. 42-Watford 14 Showing an attack their oppon- ents could not match and a defence they could not hurdle, our girls swept to victory over XYatford. They gained a lead at the first which fairly smothered the opposing team. At half-time the score read 25-6 in their favor. This tilt was spectacular despite the fact that never at any stage of the game was there any doubt as to who would be the ultimate winners. They trebled the score on the lVat- ford girls, it being 42-I4 when the final whistle blew. This game decided the winner of the district as lYatford default- ed the second game of the series. S.C.I. 22-Port Huron 29 An exhibition game of basketball was played against the Carlisle 'Girls in the Port Huron lVashington Jun- ior High School early in February. The game was quite exciting but some difficulty was experienced by the fact that our girls played two of the four periods under American Rules. lYe are hoping for a different turn of affairs when the Blue and YVhites play the return game here in the near future. S.C.l. 14-Alma College 26' Due to their poor grouping in the THE COLLEGIATE 81 XVOSSA race this season the Sarnia girls were without games most of the season and their lack of compe- tition showed up in the first game of the semi-iinals which was played here against the Alma College girls of St. Thomas. The Alma College girls lived up to all the advance things said about them and gave our girls the strong- est opposition that they have en- countered this year, but the game- ness of the Sarnia girls was an out- standing merit. Helen Moody led the scorers with a total of seventeen points and Jean lllheatcroft led the locals with sev- en points. The large crowd of supporters gave the team a world of support, but lady luck seemed to be against us. S.C.l. 22-Alma College 32 The S.C.I. girls' basketball team journeyed to St. Thomas where they again met defeat at the hands of the Alma College six. The Sarnia girls lacked aggressiveness in the first game but this was overcome by hard practice during the week. It would be impossible to say which was the better team, even indicat- ing the score, for both sides were getting well down under the basket. First quarter ended 4-O in favor of our girls, but by half time Alma College was in the lead IQ-15. In the last stages of the game they drew away and romped home with a 32-22 victory. The Sarnia combination was working smoother than it had all season and though defeated they ran the St. Thomas girls a closer race than the score indicated. Helen Moody again claimed the highest honors, returning twenty points while Helen Donald caged thirteen points for her team. O Interform Basketball The Tnterform Tournament was organized early this year and every team entered into it with an enthus- iasm, which resulted in very inter- esting and exciting games. The schedule of the games was arranged by Miss Fenwick, and by a process of elimination the Senior and Junior Champions of the School in Interform Basketball were decid- ed. 4,-X Collegiate winning the Sen- ior and 2B Collegiate the junior group. The most exciting game was that played for the School Championship, when the Seniors won from the Juniors by the close score of 26-25. The Senior Championship Team, .LA Collegiate: Mary Simpson, F. Clark, R. Kirkpatrick, forwards: Margaret Simpson, R. Taylor, H. Vollmer, guardsg M. Sullivan, M. Mercurio, subs. The Junior Championship Team, 2B Collegiate: M. VanHorne, M. Cobban, D.

S T.S. rugby team have won the XY.O.S.S.A. Championship and been in the O.lQ.F.U, finals. Out of seven games played Sarnia won live and lost two. The team lost the O.R.F.U. lnterseholastic title in tl1e last ten seconds oflthe first overtime period against the University of Toronto Schools. The sportsmanship dis- played at London after such a defeat. can not be surpassed by any team in the Dominion. Owing to the remodelling of the St. fXndrew's Arena. the school was without hockey this year. Consequently much valuable hockey talent was unable to be used. For the sake of hockey it is hoped that Sarnia shall have an arena next year. Sickness again defeated the basketball team. After winning the dis- trict from Strathroy, Sarnia entered the semi-finals against NYalkerville. In the last game against Hialkerville the team was greatly handicapped by the loss of Carter and XYalsh. RUGBY S.C.l. 8: T.S. 9-Old Boys 0 The annual Old Boys, game was played at the Collegiate campus. Owing to the condition of the held end runs were out of the question, plunging and kicking were the order of the game. The Old Boys de- pended on plunging while Carteris booting kept the ex-stars from scor- ing. Kennedyls fumble in the third quarter gave the school a formid- able lead. The Qld Boys' line weak- ened on several occasions and Ro- binsorfs kicks were blocked. The last quarter rally of the ex-students did not gain them any points, for they were iighting in the shadows of goal-posts and the school squad was still eager for more points. Teskey. Parks, Brown, Newton and Dona- hue were the yard-gainers through the line and Kennedy,s open held running featured. Carterls booting and the team's hard tackling were responsible for the Old Boys' de- feat. The game ended with the score 9-O for the S.C.I. 8: T.S. S.C.l. 8z T.S. 32-Windsor 2 On October 12th the Sarnia Col- legiate Senior team opened the XV.O.S.S.A. schedule at home. From 86 THE COLLEGIATE the kick-off Sarnia's supremacy be- came certain and after about two minutes XYindsor was forced to rouge. XYith the line working splen- didly on interference the half-men bore the brunt of the plunging and shortly after Carter plunged eight vardsifor a touch. which he con- verted. XYindsor became aggres- sive and forced Carter to rouge for their first point. By fierce bucking Sarnia soon worked their way into scoring position and Carter gather- ed in one of Hallam's well placed onsides. This touch was not con- verted. In the second quarter Sar- nia recovered a iYindsor fumble and Frayne plunged for a touch, which was converted. Half-time score 18-I. Windsor was forced back to their own line and a poor snap gave Sar- nia two points on a safety touch. Carter recovered a faulty pass and on the next down kicked to Chap- man who was forced to rouge. Early in the fourth quarter Hallam went around the left end for a try which was converted. Carter was again forced to rouge. XVith XYind- sor on their two yard line their kicl-7 was blocked and Teskey recovered for the fifth touch. Carter, Manore. Banwell, Maitland and Frayne were the yard gainers for Sarnia. Chap- man and XYebber were the best for iYindsor. S.C.I. 81 T.S. 13-Windsor 0 Cn the following Saturday the team invaded XYindsor with a thirty point lead. The iYindsor team had improved considerably during the week. The field was slippery and it rained continuously, thus good rug- by was out of the question. Sarnia had the majority of the play, and it was only Chapman's splendid catch- ing that prevented points in the first quarter. In the second quarter XYalsh grabbed an onside kick and was brought down two yards from the line. lle carried the ball over on the next play. In the third quar- ter Banwell fell on the ball when Chapman fumbled. Strain carried the ball across just as the whistle blew, but the points were not al- lowed. Chapman was the best for XVindsor while Carter. Banwell, XYalsh and Cook played well for Sarnia. S.C.l. 8: T.S. 5-St. Thomas 9 The S.CI. Sz T.S. played the first game of the series at St. Thomas. The field was muddy and there were occasional snow-Hurries The teams were evenly matched and in the first quarter St. Thomas had the best of the play. Two trick plays caught Sarnia unaware and resulted in Medcalfe getting a touch. For the remainder of the period. St. Thomas pressed hard, but penalties offset their gains. In the second quarter the play was about even. Towards the last of the period, extension runs placed St. Thomas in position and Medcalfe scored a field-goal. In the third period Sarnia was on the offensive. Wfith two yards to go Sarniawas held for three downs. After an exchange of kicks. Davey fumbled and Teskey recovered. With five yards to go Hallam kicked an onside, which was grabbed by Carter two feet beyond the reach of the other players. The last quarter was nip and tuck, both teams striving hard. A Sarnia fumble placed St. Thomas in scoring position and Medcalfe kick- ed for the last point of the game. XYalsh was injured and unable to play for the rest of the season, he pluckily finished the game. S.C.I. 8: T.S. 6-St. Thomas 0 The return game with St. Thomas was played during a heavy rain which turned the field into a quag- mire. Carter's ability to boot a wet ball and the work of the Sarnia team on defense were outstanding. There was no score the first quarter while Sarnia was kicking against the wind.

XValsh. I In the second quarter Sarnia scor- ed two points. One was an onside kick and the other a boot to the deadline. In the third quarter Sarnia re- pelled every St. Thomas attempt to gain points, and were gaining yards against the wind. In the opening of the fourth quar- ter, Carter made a thirty yard run on a fake kick and on the next down it was booted to the deadline. Sar- nia made yards by plunging and Hallam tried an onside. The ball was knocked from Carter's arms and St. Thomas recovered. This point tied up the count on the round but a few minutes later Carter again booted to the deadline for the win- ning point. Sarnia scored one more point when a St. Thomas half fum- bled. Carter's booting and Bur- leigh's tackling were the outstand- ing features, while Ken Fraser capably filled Manore's place at right half. For St. Thomas there were no stars, the whole team play- ed hard, clean, and consistent foot- ball. S.C.l. 8: T.S. 2-Guelph 0 Sarnia played the first game of the Guelph series at home. Wlith Carter and Manore unable to play, Sarnia played a strictly defensive game. Teskey played back in Car- ter's place and' caught faultlessly, while Frayne and Crompton alter- nated at right-half. Sarnia made yards, another first down when the Guelph coach came on the field. Hallam was downed before he could kick and Guelph made thirty-five yards around Sar- nia's left end. Maitland blocked and recovered a would-be field goal. Guelph made yards twice in suc- cession and Hallam just ran the kick ont. Guelph fumbled on the first down and Sarnia recovered, and Hallam gained on an exchange of kicks. Guelph made twenty yards around Sarnia's right but Sarnia a- gain gained on a kicking duel. Sar- nia made yards and Guelph took Hallam's onside for one point. Guelph recovered a block kick at centre. Half-time score I-O. Guelph fumbled after an exchange of kicks and Sarnia recovered. Sar- nia was penalized 25 yards. Strain recovered a Guelph fumble fifteen yards out. Guelph ran out the on- side but on the next exchange were forced to rouge. Atcheson ran back Hallanfs kick for twenty-five yards and later went around Sarnials left end for an- other twenty-five yards. The re- gg THE COLLEGIATE mainder of the period was a kicking duel and the game ended with Guelph in possession at centre. Hallam's booting was extraordin- ary, considering the poor support he got from the line. Maitland, Tes- key. Hallam, Strain and Burleigh were the best for Sarnia. Atcheson was the outstanding player for Guelph. S.C.I. 8: T.S. 15-Guelph 2 The return game in Guelph drew the largest crowd of the season. The loss of .-Xtcheson, in the first quarter was a great blow to the Guelph team. for the first half. Atcheson's kick off was long and low and before Carter could get clear he was forced to rouge. Car- ter's ability was not known and he kicked well over the Guelph halves playing back. The ball was fum- bled and Potter recovered. Atcheson was forced to rouge on the next down. Potter made a thirty yard run and Guelph recovered l-'lallani's onside for one point. Guelph could not force Sarnia back and Hallam kicked two more onsides before the quarter ended. but they went for only two points. Potter's attempted drop-kick failed and Guelph made two runs, which brought them to the Sarnia forty yard line at quar- ter time. The Guelph team became very ag- gressive in the second quarter and Jeffrey made a pretty thirty yard run. From this position Guelph booted for their last point of the game. .-Xtcheson came back in the second half. and fought gamely. The fake kick employed by Sarnia gained yards twice, and this enabled Car- ter to kick for another point. ln an exchange of kicks Atcheson was a- gain forced to rouge. The last quarter was all Sarnia's. Guelph tried a fake kick, but Bur- leigh brought Atcheson down for a safety touch. Sarnia scored one more point by a rouge. Atcheson fumbled a kick and Manore recover- ed and on the next down plunged two yards for a touch. Carter made a difficult convert. This was near the end of the game and Sarnia was still pressing hard when the whistle blew. lVhen it is considered that three of the seven rouges scored were on onside kicks. there was a possibility of a great many more points. Sarnia thus qualified to meet U.T.S. for Ontario honours. Owing to the lateness of the season it was decided to play a sudden death game at London on Dec. 5. S.C.I. 8: T.S. 8-U.T.S. 13 For the second time Sarnia failed to get the breaks and thus lost the Ontario title. Two bad breaks gave L'.T.S. possession on Sarnia's fifteen yard line and in four plunges carried the ball across after the head lines- man had given U.T.S. ten' seconds more in which to score. Carter's great booting and the U.T.S. plun- ges were outstanding. Ist Quarter?-U.T.S. made yards six times in the first quarter Early in the game Park booted and forced Carter to rouge. U.T.S. came back strong and Sinclair went over for a touch. 2nd Quarter-L'.T.S. made yards on four subsequent plunges, reached Sarnia's fifteen yard line. Park forced Hallam to rouge on the next down. Sarnia worked their way to Toronto's ten yard line and Hallanfs onside went to the deadline. Carter kicked and Bailey dribbled it over for Sarnia's second point. Bailey made twenty yards in two plunges. 5rd Quarter-There was no score in the third period. Sarnia made yards twice and U.T.S. once. The period became a fierce kicking duel with little advantage either way. .ith Quarter-Toronto made yards several times, but Sarnia held and forced them back to their fifteen yard line. Here Hallam shot up an onside to Burleigh and he carried it across for a touch. ISt Overtime-Sarnia became very aggressive and Carter was able to THE COLL EGIATE 89 kick to the deadline. Carter's kick was blocked and Bailey dribbled over the touch line and Frayne kick- ed the ball out. Burleigh was over anxious and touched a bounding ball giving U.T.S. twenty-five yards. On the next down the line did not hold and U.T.S. gained possession on Sar- nia's fifteen yard line and they car- ried the ball over in four downs for the winning touch. 2nd Overtime-Sarnia fought back fiercely and the game developed in- to a kicking duel and there were no points scored. NOTES Guelph Mercury- For a high- school player, Carter the Sarnia kicker. is in a class by himself. He not only had height and distance to his kicks, but booted the ball with wonderul accuracy. The big boy was easily the outstanding member of the winning team. -xc ac wr Guelph Mercury- The visitors' wonderul defensive system was working like a machine and deter- mined plunges on the part of the local heavyweights failed to make an impression. The U.T.S. authorities claimed that Hallam was the best quarter back, Manore the best plunger, and Carter the best booter, they had played against this year. Their work and rugby ability were con- spicuous in every game this year. X :ic ff As Dolly at the first of the sea- son was more interested in matri- monial affairs than in rugby, Eddie Hanna coached the squad for the first two weeks. His ability as coach was shown when the team defeated the Old Boys. Bill Patter- son coached the team in interference the week before the VVindsor game and taught the boys much valuable football. XVe hope these two men will be with us next year and heart- ily thank them for their kind assis- tance during the past season. Too old by a few days to play rugby, Vllalter Callum made an able manager. His assistance to the team was invaluable. Although this is XYalter's last year his ideals will be followed in the future. X PF :lf In the seven Vllossa games play- ed, Sarnia scored eighty-one points and had twenty-six scored against them. St. Thomas and U.T.S. scor- ing, nine and thirteen respectively. 5 Y Y , I - L: T TY-1 I t7::.:'+Q K'mXa if W fi 12525, I , Q9 2 7 41 H J : wif s '.:1: :.:: . Y:i:' fl H ,l'g?'.4'V l Q Q, V A gy! , .

GRAY The success of the 1925 team was due in no small part to the efforts of our coach Dolly Cray.
