98 THE TECHALOGUE June,1946 The Tallow Dip, Netherwood School, Rothesay, New Brunswick. Your literary section is the most extensive and varied among our exchanges. You've given your graduates well-deserved prominence. A girls, boarding school is so different from school life as we at Tech know it that the pictures of your buildings, campus, and activities are most interesting. We welcome your excellent book. The Key, Quebec High School, Quebec. The general lay-out of your book is pleasing. It is well illustrated and the cover is unique. Your dignified In Memoriam section is a fitting tribute to your brave men who went abroad to die and who have brought you imperishable honor. The Lantern, Bedford Road C.I., Saskatoon. A good prose section. We liked especially t'The Hawaiiann by Molly Lipsett. The Athletics department is well done and evinces a fine sporting spirit toward rival teams. The Peptimist, Mimico, H.S., Mimico, Ont. We welcome this well-edited book to our Exchange column. 'tAutumn Festival , by Agnes Boland, is well done. The Bugle, Crescent Heights High School, Calgary, Alberta. Pen and ink sketches are an attractive feature of this book. The humor scintillates and we're still chuckling. Tatler, Collegiate Institute, Lindsay, Ontario. This bright, well-printed book is another welcome addition to our exchanges. The humor department has a touch of reality some- times lacking in other books. We specially admire the excellent prose section. The Park Bench. City Park Collegiate Institute, Saskatoon. Welcome neighbor! An excellent Seniors Section-clear photo- graphs and appropriate biographical sketches. Congratulatons to C.P. on the year of successes in the world of sport. .T-A-..i FROM OUR EXCHANGES A little duck was flying over a lake when he saw another duck on the lake, so he went down and landed near the duck. Hello, he said. There was no answer. Just then the little duck looked into the muzzle of a shotgun. Duck , he cried, and ducked under the water. When he came up there were bits of wood all over the top of the water and he said: 'tWooden duck, eh? -The Bugle, C.H.H.S., Calgary. There was once a man who was trying to argue with a bus driver that the latter was charging him too much. Finally after an exasper- ating argument, the driver picked up the man's suitcase and threw it off the bus. The man yelled in protest- Isn't it enough that you try to charge me too much on the fare, do you have to kill my son too? -The Bugle, C.H.H.S., Calgary.

June,1946 THE TECHALOGUE 97 EXCHANGES We should like to express our appreciation to the many schools on our exchange 'tlistf' It is really a pleasure to receive your books, to reprint items which We think would appeal to our students too, and to see how you carry on your activities. When copies are received too late for comment in the immediate edition of our book, they are held until the next year. Lower Canada College. This boys' school has done a splendid job in presenting a clear picture of life in their school-the photographs form a complement to the concisely-Written accounts. The Cynosure, Collegiate Institute, Prince Albert. The teddy-bears make apt and vivid section-pages. Among the many articles and features which we liked, may We say a Word of appreciation for the Chronicles of Pea-Aye-Sea-Eye? This is excellent- ly done. The Twig, University of Toronto Schools. The memorial issue of 1945 is a splendid example of a Well-bal- anced and finely illustrated book. To select features for special com- ment Would be invidious, but We risk one or two-the herring-bone title pages between sections, the graduating class directory, and the tributes to great men. The Glooscap, Wolfville High School, Nova Scotia. We think the little section entitled Public Opinion well-Worth incorporating in any school magazine. George Stanford's L'Class of 1945 Prophecy is decidedly clever and entertaining. Balfour Beacon, Balfour Tech, Regina. You have reason to be proud of your distinguished Rhodes Scholar. The Beacon stands in the first rank of our exchanges for originality and sheer attractiveness. Your summary of the courses offered at Balfour must be of help and interest to prospective students. Chronicle, Lord Selkirk High School, Winnipeg. Your book capably reflects the life of L.S.H.S. We like the fine spirit, of Hubert Savage's Valedictory. We look forward to your 1946 num er. Ye Flame, Central Collegiate Institute, Regina. The Literary is a most creditable section of this book. The com- ments accompanying student photographs and class groups are varied and revealing. Trafalgar Echoes, Trafalgar School for Girls, Montreal. Seldom have we seen a more clever sketch than Joan Thackray's On a School Edition of Shakespeare. We must try to emulate your list of Weddings Among Graduates. Vulcan. Central Technical School, Toronto. The editorial, Canadianism by your Editor is an example of clear thinking and Wide sympathies. The Whole book is a fine tribute to the literary skill and the technical training of your students.

June,1946 THE TECHALOGUE 99 DESTINY-DETENTION fWith apologies to Mr. Tennysonl Late, late, late- For thy grim, grey doors, O School. I would that my tongue could utter The thoughts of this tardy fool. Alas, for my warm cosy bed Whence I so reluctant arise. Alas, the breakfast uneaten, Just cause of a parentls cries. Alas, for the furnace to fix, Ablutions and other such chores, Which delay the well-meaning soul And earn him authority's roars. Late, late, late, And the Rosedale bus glides by, Leaving thoughts of detentions And many a heaving sigh. -The Twig fUr1iversity of Toronto Schools! ,.y...t BIRD'S EYE VIEW Three birds sat chirping, as all birds do, Literally airing their every view: They chirped of the weather, of spring styles and dress. And finally got 'round to Q.H.S. Chirped one, Have you noticed, my fine feathered friends. The letters and notes which everyone sends, While the teacher sits working, harder than ever, Trying to make his pupils clever? O yes, chirped another, and I also know, How in doing classwork pupils are slow, Yet the homework is done in a minute or less, Though it should take an hour, I must confess. And it's rarely you'll see a full uniform, Often it's home 'cause it's dirty or torn. Then a third broke in, You can take it from me, In lockers there's all from Ka' to 'z'3 If you want an umbrella, book, tunic or shoes, Sweater or magazine, take what you choose. Now I've stated their views on this situation, But remember 'tis here we get education. -'NANCY CORBEIL, The Key. CQuebec High School? i..y....... My love has flew, Her did me dirt, Me never knew She was a flirt.
