Wilson Assistant Reporter: C. Lindsey Considering the number of entries in Field Day, 4B made a very successful show- ing this year, and has well upheld the records of the boys in this form in previous years. Kendrick was our highest point-winner. ln the high jump he sailed over the bar with the greatest of ease, to win first place in that event. l-le also won first place in the potato race and second in the hundred yard dash. Our other point winner was Zimmerman who came second in the eleven-year-old high jump. ' Lawler, Burt-Cierrans, Gordon lVlc- Cammus, Bryans also contributed to our total. ln the cross-country run Lawler came third for his age. Our form has reason to be proud of the fact that all of our contestants in this event finished the grind and, in so doing, gained an extra point for our form. ln the Junior Rugby League we have been ably represented by Baker, Gordon Mc- Cammus, and the illustrious Allen Twins. Although we represent the lowest form in the school and therefore lack experience, we wish here and now to warn the others forms and the world at large, that we intend to show them a thing or two in future years. We also plan to take part in hockey, and already some of our form-mates are talking of having their skates sharpened and secur- ing the other necessary hockey equipment. 4B FROLIC Chemistry Master: First l shall take some sulphuric acid, and then some chloroform. Witty Pupil: That's a good idea! Mr. Richardson: ul-low many days are there in the year, Chapman? Chapman: Seven, sir. Mr. Richardson: What, lalways thought that there were three hundred and sixty- Five. Chapman: Well, sir, there's Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, and that's all l ever heard of. Mr. Scarrow four much beloved mathe- matical instructorj: There are seven birds on a fence: if l shot two, how many would there be left? Stevens: Two, sir, the two you shot. All the others would have flown away. With apologies to our Form Captain We have unsuccessfully attempted to ob- tain a portrait of our Form Captain, Biggs, in his younger days. Although we have failed, we still have him to look at.

Sissons: No, you sap, that's the hen house. Mr. Daniher fteaching Halbert to say RJ told him to say: Robert gave Richard a rap in the ribs for roasting the rabbit so raw. Halbert fafter consideringj: Bob gave Dick a poke in the side for not cooking the bunny enough. 4A SPORTS FLASHES Boy!-what a sports form we have, and why not? we have a great number of jump- ers, runners and ball-players-in fact every- thing that is needed to make a stand-out sports form. Prowse, Smith, Evans, Beer. Ball, lVlcCubbin, and Nlaclvor collected most of our field day and cross-country run points and on the baseball diamond Kitchen, Mc- lntyre, Schutt, Tod, Currie, Falconer, Shaw and others were star hitters, knocking basef balls to all corners of the yard. With such a lot of keen athletes it can be expected that there will be a great many sport laurels for 4A before next june. Mr. Scarrow Cvisiting Russel in hospitall : l-low did you get here? Russel fmisunderstancling the questionjz Flu. v Absent-minded McCoy: Who's there?' Prouse: No one. Absent-minded McCoy: That's funny, l'm sure l heard something.

THE T WIG 5-5-li Q1 I 5 F TQ kdx Will? LAST YEAR'S GRADUATES The Twig annually makes an effort to inform a waiting world as to the where- abouts of the newest Old Boys. It has been found impossible to obtain complete in- formation, but here is what has been found. Cassels, the agile goal-keeper of last year's hockey team, is now a valued employee of the Dominion Bank. Shorty Miller, Osler and Ritchie are also in the banking world. Cooper, Fee, Kilgour, Sheldon, and Lundy, all mathematical sharks, are at S.P.S. Saunders is at O.A.C. Reports say that he had already completed the practical course in poultry- feeding. Rolly Smith is toeing the scratch at R.M.C. Gardiner, Grand, Halverson, Hay-Roe and Deacon are in Commerce and Finance at Varsity. Tatter- sall and Allen are in Political Economy. The former is winning further acclaim in dra- matic circles. O'Brian has gone to England and is now in the Royal Air Force. The jovial Harris is out in Winnipeg with Canada Packers. Gaby is with a wallpaper company, whether in the designing, manu- facturing or selling end, we have not dis- covered. Sanderson, last year's editor of The Twig, is in Medicine, along with Wright, Scott, Seymour, and Wesley. Owen is studying Philosophy and History. Swan is at McGill: Shearer, Kennedy, Renwick and Gooderham are following in the foot- steps of many distinguished graduates and are studying Law. We have received many enquiries as to the whereabouts of Neil Mustard. We hasten to inform his many friends that he is now comfortably installed in Form 5A. Asked the reason for his re-appearance at U.T.S. after being photographed with the graduating class last year, Mustard explained that the examiners last summer took violent exception to his ideas on French Grammar, Composition and Authors. Moreover, as Neil sadly declared, he had been so long at U.T.S. that life was unbearable out in the cold, cold, world. Donaldson and Sturgeon have also returned, probably to keep watchful eyes on Mustard. Abbott, Clute and Shires are back for Scholarship work. We understand that Williams, a very use- ful member of the staff of The Twig last year, has returned to U.S.A. We are sorry to learn this for Williams would have made a mighty fine Canadian. As usual, U.T.S. Old Boys were promin- ent in the University examination results last summer. ln the Faculty of Applied Science and Engineering, A. Chamberlain won the J. A. Findlay Scholarship in the Third Year, C. G. Levy the fourth year Canadian En- gineering Prize and E. R. Graydon of the same year, the American Society of Heating and Ventilating Engineers' Prize. ln the Faculty of Arts, in the first year, A. Bernstein won the Second Alexander T. Fulton Scholarship. Two years ago Bern- stein was an active member of the staff of The Twig. ln the second year, M. A. Griffiths, a former School Captain, won the William Mulock Scholarship in Mathematics and Physics, standing at the top of his class. ln the same year S. A. Aquarone won the Squair French Prize and tied for the George Brown Scholarship in Modern Languages. W. G. I-lines stood second in second year Physics and Chemistry.
