THE RADIO CLUB This club was organized late in the fall to take the place of the Safe Driving Club. A number of boys brought materials of various kinds and a study was made of wireless construction. Two boys from the Technical School gave an interesting talk on the electric eye and other electrical apparatus at one meeting. Frank Brock helped the club greatly with his interesting talks. The club was sponsored by Mr. Dobson. EDITING Getting out this annual is no picnic, If we print jokes people say we are silly. If we clip things from other magazines. We are too lazy to write them ourselves, If we don’t we are stuck on our own stuff, If we stick close to the job all day. We ought to be out hunting up news. If we do get out and try to hustle, We ought to be on the job in the office. If we don ' t print contributions, We don’t appreciate true genius, If we do print them the column is filled with junk, If we make a change in the other fellow’s write-up. We are too critical; If we don’t, we are asleep. Now like as not, some one will say. We swiped this from some magazine. Right, we did! —Adapted by Keith Watson. SKI TROUBLES Whenever I attempt to ski, A white and peaceful-looking hill, Becomes a mocking enemy, As if it wanted me to spill. My skis act strangely too, I test That north slope with my feet just so, Yet one goes East and one skids West, And where am I? Head first in snow. —Beryl Charman, 8C. 46

A GREAT MAN The din of war is over, He’s gone at last to rest, The church bells sadly hover, In memory of his death. His life, a cherished memory. Held safe within our hearts, For his was a life of victory. Which helps us play our parts. For his was a noble sacrifice, Joy he brought to the world, For this, his health he paid the price; To this task all his strength was hurled. In doing ' his duty he died. For he was so generous and pure, He humbled himself by our side. Governor General Lord Tweedsmuir. —Bill Wheatley, 8C.
