18 TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD eautiously poked with a long board by one of the curious spectatorsl, he made himself even more unpopular. He quickly became a source of interest about the School, however, as well as a menace. Several times, boys woke at night to find the skunk's suffocating odour flooding their rooms. One night its presence led to some amusement and to an unexpected renewal of the old rivalry between Brent and Bethune. Several Bethunites, heedless of its pungent threats, scooped up the animal and deposited it in Brent. When next seen, it was not in Brent at all but in a bathroom of Bickle House making valiant efforts to obliterate the new paint job. Needless to say, several who joined in this unwelcome raid were sprayed, and amongst the damage, a First Team sweater-coat received a blast at close range toutraged cries from the launderers, with a large extra charge For tomato juicel. Since that episode, the skunk's visits have been less frequent. We hope that he is not merely building up his forces Cremember last year's cats?l for a mass attack next spring. A N EVV TWIST TO AN OLD OCCUPATION With the 'flu causing a lot of work to be missed and the months' marks to be postponed a week, many are being forced to exert great will-power and do an increased amount of study in order to prepare them- selves properly for those Christmas exams, which inevitably approach with phenomenal speed. Room-mates are taking turns studying outside the room, knowing that they will always converse when together. The more rugged individualists are trying to get sole possession of some secluded study hole such as the elevators isome people must be con- stantly on the movel, the changing-rooms or the Chapel bell tower. Others, with less enthusiasm but the same seriousness of purpose, park themselves in various locations in the class-room block. A recent develop- ment is the remarkable increase in popularity at night and even in the early morning, of Room O, Room M and in Room E, in that orderg for some reason, however, habitual occupants of the last frequently complain of strange kinks in the neck. Not long ago it is reported that the master in charge of the H and K study hall was checking the other classrooms, and when he found Room M in darkness, presumed no one was occupying it. But just before he closed the door he noticed a figure facing directly away from him, seated in one of the small desks. This individual was staring absently into space with what the master soon perceived to be a rather pleased and noticeably fishy-eyed expression. On being asked how he could study with the lights off, this character, startled, apologized profusely and explained that he was just daydreaming. We salute this grand new trend in the rather colourless sport of cramming.
