Such words as these float upon the air, What page ?', How much must we study ?,' Got a pencil PD Then is heard the awful verdict: Please report to your teacher,? and, presto, silence 1'eigns supreme. Many are they who would make talking the standard instead of that most useful thing ustudyf' How does 'l'horold Papineau use his study period? Studying ?-Sleeping? 1 llecitation is the Waterloo of all pupils whose minds had not been concentrated on books during that precious study period. This is the time when many of the students show what a beneficial tl1i11g is study. Allow me to state the quotation Marie Clement would give on this point: 'Study is the so1u'ce oi' all success. Reverend Father Matt, our beloved coach, makes regulations that all athletes must comply with. We are proud to say that all are eager to observe these perfectly. We must strive to respect our rules and regulations. lf Awe refuse we must fall, for no institution, no matter how strong, can exist without the co-operation of its members or students. There is only one way and that way is to build around our rules and regulations a wall of enforcement. No other principle is logical, no other 1S American, and above all, no other is just.
