COLLEGIAN, l930 ning, we took a drive along the shore as far as Lachine. The next day we visited Mount Royal Park on the summit of Mount Royal. From the Look-out, we were given a fine view of Montreal and the St. 'Law- rence. That day we also visited the principal churches of the city. This ended our visit in Eastern Canada as we took the train that night for parts known. And now, all Canadians, list ye! lf ever you have an opportunity to journey in this wonderful land of ours, take it by all means. Be it to the east or to the west, see Canada first. -Grant Kroff, 5A. THIS IS THE LOVE This is the love that never dies-- The strong man's love for a stretch of ties, The length of steel as it follows the trail Over the mountains, bringing the mail. The engine starting with never a strain The limited train on the faster maing The slow tugging length of freights Laden with bacon hogs and crates. The sting of the madly driven snow That slaps the face a perpetual blow. The song of the merrily clicking rails Under the train which never fails. The phantom plow with its reddish hue Hitting the drifts till it batters through. The office hand with his humdrum day As he waves The Limited on its way. This is the song of the pioneer i Fulfilling the words of the gifted seer. For after the dog-team sallying forth The whistle sounds in the frozen north. -WTR LITERARY PRIZES The Collegian Staff is indebt- ed to all students who contributed in any way to the Collegian.
