COLLEGIAN, 1937. HOPES FOR THE FUTURE 4Continued from Page 19? We need only to take a look at our mother country and our fears for the future are quiet- ed. Through all these trying circumstances, democracy has shone through like a beacon in the night. The constitutional crisis of the past year was most acute. Never before has the government of a country been called upon to deal with such a condition. Here, however, our democratic government came to the fore and coped with the situation most successfully. Yes, we have a great deal to be thankful for even in these times of hardship. We have our League of Nations to thresh out any Inter- national Disputes which may arise. This organization is doing splendid work and if wars may possibly be prevented, the League of Nations, I feel confident, will do so. Also we have a new king. The king is a man of fine character and high ideals, a good example for the empire to copy. He is diplomatic and will be an inspiration to a great nation. This in itself would not change conditions I admit, but it does help to improve our outlook which is after all, half the battle. -R.K. Nisbet Centering hotelb : Say, this is a swanky place. O'Donoghue: Well, I'll say! I even had to shave before they'd let me in the barber shop.

The following conversation was heard: Hello. Hello, How are you this morning ? Oh, fine. Excuse me, I have the wrong number. A tramp called at a house and asked for food.

Friend: Well next time why not wear one '? Mr. Bryan: Now, who flew the first air- plane ? Elizabeth, 4stalling for timed: Who flew the first airplane '? Mr. Bryan: Right! Elizabeth: Wright! PRONUNCIATION Though Nature's Aristocracy Speak often of hyperbole They're bound to get into a hole If they pronounce it hyper-bole. Likewise no plea avails the genius Who mispronounces heinous heenius And Nemesis will overtake Even those who write a thesis But who commit the shocking break Of calling her Nemeesis. v v--'v-'- ::--- :::: -::::: -:::::H:.-- -:ev ::::::::::a 4, 4, Ig 1: 'r 'n 4, 0 0 0 4, 5: Canadian Government Annuities 3: I P 1: 5: 4 - , gf Girls!
