-7 'X Seconb ommercfal RAVEN is not reached by a single bound, But we build the ladder by which we rise, From the lowly earth to the vaulted skies, And we mount to its summit round by round. NVe rise by the things that are under our feet, By what we have mastered of good or gain, By the pride deposed, and the passion slain, And the vanquished ills that we hourly meet. to be en- lt has been our privilege during the past year rolled as students of St. Michaelys College, and under the careful guidance of our esteemed superior, the vigilant atten- tion of our worthy supervisors, and the amiable companion- ship of our big brothers, we have spent one of the most pleasant and profitable years of our lives. A .Nile have, indeed, enjoyed the novelty of college lifeg the give and take of the campus, the permissions of the after- noon holidays and the weekly letters from home. The subjects of our course of study were made to feel the burden of footsteps as we conquered our many difficulties and rose. step by step, on the ladder of success. XVe represent this fair Qominion from Montreal to Fort W'illiam, and take plea- sure in introducing ourselves. Beginning with johns we have 0'Reilly from Lindsay, very modest, industrious and careful of his healthg Sullivan, studi- ous fellow. who can point out a gleam of silver on the edge of the darkest cloud: Gleason, a powerful debater, who knows baseball down to the ground, and -lack Rogers, who makes a 76 specialty of puncture-proof excuses the morning after each hockey or Rugby game. Toronto sends in three XYilliams. McBride is a musician, and never says anything in class unless he starts to talk first, Ralfe is a steady worker and a sound sleeper tin the mornings J. and XYillie O'Bernier, whose health has prevented his regular attendance. As a headline attraction in many of the monthly reports we have Arthur P. james, a very energetic, hardworking, good- looking little gentleman. l-le is closely followed by Clarence Kerwin, our baseball authority and hockey expert. One of our best grammar students is Frank Rogers, who is thinking of editing a book on Why XVe Should Not Study Grammar. Another work which we expect to see published in the near future is Homework, Its Merits and Defects, by Harold Richards. Then we can foresee the possibility of a revised edition of the above by Vincent Wforthy and Norman lYalsh, discarding the word merits and containing an interesting chapter on How to Avoid Five o'Clock Study, for day scholars. Redmond Graham is our member from Pembroke. never stuck for a reply, and can give some inside information on Candy as a Brain Builderfi Thomas Farrell, our agri- cultural representative, and Paul Richardson, our Montreal friend, are very good in arithmetic and can write interesting compositions. After Christmas we were joined by Francis Murphy from Fort W'illiam, our youngest member, just eleven g a very in- telligent little mang also the Monteith brothers, Eddie, whom we admire for his ready wit and humor, and Howard. who astonishes us with sketches of his study and travels. -BY OURsELvEs.
