Some teachers call us a class ol bums, but we have all the notable talent in the school. The Family Pet, Bray, is always very conspicuous in his seat near the door and always has a comeback to Handsome Hatton 'l'aylor's wise-cracks, which usually come from the south-east corner of the room. joe Sweeney, when not on the sick-list, graces the room with his presence. Grifhn is writing one more subject this year, and wc wonder whether it is Chemistry or Latin. Bill Regan, ot hockey and rugby fame, is an occasional visitor, as is Ferg Sheehy and Shay, in the History class. Our young talent is especially brilliant this year with Noonan, Ayerst, McDonald and Townsend at the top of the list. When one Poupore is absent, the other is there to yell Present for both, and sometimes it goes over Big. Joe Prado, hailing from the village of Thorold, visits us for six subjects, while Hinohy, from the wide open spaces in Hamilton, runs our hockey and baseball 'Kpools . Nicholson and Danaher are in a class by themselves, as is little johnny McKey. Lob- seinger, Mclsaac and Slaugh are three whose character sketch has been lost, although we have a hunch that Rosy George is from Kitchener. Madden and McGraw are somewhat silent, so we cannot knock them. 'lf hen there comes joe VValsh and his cousin, Ed. Joe has the place ot honour at the fat men,s table in the Retectory, while Ed. is more like the rest of us. Last, but not least, is Nigger Rees, who hails from the Roaring City. Nigger's knowledge of Latin has brought him to a pre- eminent position in his class. To mention all the students UD that are with us for a few classes would take too much time and labour, but they have vowed to leave this year. '

May I say, then, Class Za first startled its Alma Mater, dear old St. Michael's, with its stirring deeds and famous works in September, 1925. English classes, Latin classes, History and Science classes, exams, exams, exams, and then we began to realize that the interjecting sir-l of our English teacher, and the pieces of advice that we were mutts, and so was our old man, of the Latin and History classes, all went to prove beyond a doubt that St. Michaels was very much similar to a bungalow, as there is but one storey,'. But time has sped by since those early months of the term, and after hard, trying work on the part of our sirs we gradu- ally came out of our coma by taking on the governmental responsibilities of this country, in as much as we formed a Students' Parliament. Great men, such as Baird, Simone and Mcfioey lought in an undying spirit for true, pure. Canadian justice in their eloquent speeches,
