The Classic June, 1911 one we visited. WVe obtained some information on peat, some pitcher plants and a pair of wet feet each. CThe next class had better wear rubbers.J Then we climbed another fence and went on and o11 through lovely woods. Space and talent are too meagre for a de- scription of these solitudes. Xilhen we had all the leaves we could carry, we got our pictures taken. YVelI, we came home foot-sore, weary, dusty, dirty and happy. XVe afforded some amusement to the electric power linemen along the road, so we made some one else happy. And some of us brought back a vision of autumn woods and skies that will last a long tifne. There is something in October sets the gypsy blood astir, We must rise and follow her. YVhen from every hill of flame She calls and calls each Vagabond by name.

P The Classic June, 1911 the members of the hockey club had much beneficial exercise and enjpyment in connection with their bi-weekly practices at the skating rini. In the spring term a football team was entered in the Citv League, the Y. M. C. A., the G. T. R. and the Collegiate Institute being the other competing institutions. A lively interest developed in the series of games as the teams were considered to be very evenly matched, but the laurels came to the best team, and the S. N. S. are now the proud possessors of the Rea cup, having tied the Y. M. C. A., and won the games with the G. T. R. and the S. C. I. The following students played on the winning team: A. Fuller, J. Fuller, XV. R. Snyder, YV. G. Cole, R. Wilhelm, XV. G. Crandon, A. F. Han- suld, F. Lippert, H. YV. Burnett, E. Fairbairn and R. S. Shaw. The tennis grounds are now in good shape for play and the game is becoming popular. The committee in charge consists of the offi- cers of the Boys' Athletic Club and Misses Armitage, Hall, Steinhoff and Swinton. The students appreciated the open air skating rink provided by the Education Department on Victoria Lake. Owing to the nature of the winter, the expense of keeping the ice clear of snow was small, especially when the value of the enjoyable and healthful exercise is taken into consideration. !F. iRudyard Kiplingi If you can keep your head when all about you Are losing theirs, and blaming it on you If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, And make allowance for their doubting, too: If you can wait and not be tired by waiting, Or lied about, don't deal in liesl Or, being hated, don't give way to hating: And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wiseg If you can dream and not make dreams your master: If you can think, and not make thoughts your aim: If you can meet with triumphs and disaster, And treat both these impostors just the same, If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools, Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken, And stoop, and build them up with worn-out toolsg If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue, Or walk with kings-nor lose the common touch, If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you, If all men count with you-but none too much: If you can iill the unforgiving minute Vilith sixty seconds' worth of distance run, Yours is the earth and everything that's in it, And, which is more, you'll be a man, my son. 27
