He thought he had a narrow escape but the driver had a better one. He just .missed a huge moving truck. After that he went to his house. When he saw his wife coming toward him he thought, “Oh, Oh!! This is the end of me” . . . But his wife missed him too. Robert Glass. THE SHIP GOES DOWN S.O.S. . . . S.O.S. ... it was coming from a ship in distress. Some¬ one had thrown a lighted cigar on the floor where some gas lay. It had immediately started a blaze. Before they could get any water on it, the whole ship was aflame. All the people got in the lifeboats. The ship was listing badly. In a few moments, the ship had sunk. The people were floating around for two hours before help came. Bing Allan. THE BALLOON The balloon vender walked along slowly. He was calling, “Balloons, get your balloons here”. Now there was a certain balloon in that bunch. It was bright red and had a cat s face on it. A little boy bought the red one and a green one for his dog. Every time the dog barked, the balloon sailed away. Off the dog would scamper after it. Meanwhile the red balloon was floating high in the sky. The little boy had found some string and tied it to the balloon. It looked down over the city, saying. “It’s too bad you cannot see what I can see”. Slowly the boy let out the string, had come too close to the sun! Suddenly the balloon popped! Robert Trueman.

UPPER SCHOOL SPORTS Rusby Excitement ran high among the football-minded at S.J.R. when it was announced that a team would be entered in the M.S.R.L. The loss of almost all of the previous years players from St. John’s College School and Ravenscourt School proved a great drawback. Ed Henke of the Winnipeg Blue Bombers formed a team of sorts. The net result, however, was that we were badly defeated in all our games. We would like to take the opportunity of extending our thanks to Ed who was responsible for the formation of our team and for the spirit we were able to show in the face of defeat. “Thanks, Ed, for your patience and assistance.” THE TEAM Earner —Full. George made up for his lack in weight in smashing line drives. Mitchell —Half. Definitely the main power of our backfield were Lloyd’s plunges. Green —Half. Our fastest backfielder, Frank gained many yards. Martin —Quarter. Jim was responsible for much of the team spirit. Cunningham —Wing. A fine pass receiver, Bruce was one of the main factors in our backfield. Mollard —End. Bill was the only member of our squad recommended for the M.S.R.L. All Stars. Darke playing right end was a top runner and excelled in pass receiving. Bell—Tackle. In the opinion of the team Ding was our finest player- 190 lbs. of brute strength he played 60 minutes a game all season. Jacox —Guard. Ed played outstanding ball all year. Ferguson —Centre. Tony played a hard 60-minute game both ways. Savage —Tackle. “Sav” is one of .the tough members of the team responsible for more than a few enemy bruises. Doig —End. Ian must have had glue on his hands the way he snagged the spot passes. Excellent on defence.
