Welch Y: 1, , X 7 N 10' RUGBY Three of the school's rugby teams are represented in our form of grid-ironers. The I40 pound team is honoured by such class-notables as, Cyrus Webb, Hugh Young, Leonard Andrews and John Jarvis. On the I20 pound group we have, Mc- Michael, Bill Young, Bob Cameron and Stuart Strathy. And our famed first team has bestowed the title of ugarcon de l'eau on Leonard Andrews. So in all, we are not lagging in this sport. ls: 'b f 'T of K -DL. Form Reporter: D. Clarke FIELD DAY AND THE CROSS COUNTRY RUN I'm sorry to say that we fell decidedly below the traditional standard set by IIIB in previous years, in both Field Day and The Cross Country Run. A few more venturesome lads dared to enter in the Held events, namely, Welch and Dickinson. Likewise did Gandier and Brown in the Cross Country. V x. ig '? a X , .r X 9 ' fi if ,I dll!

From now on we will have to be on our guard when in the presence of these gentle- men.

THE TWIG XZ' 9 if Xl x4 a any ' W MMIII! hifi THE CADET CORPS We were more generous in our Cadet- Donations than in either of the latter. Platoon number One was under the expert eyes of that dashing man-about-town Ser- geant Rogers. While number two marched with that famed master of the bouncing-adams-apple, Sergeant Welch. Of course none of the leading abilities of the above would have been brought to pub- lic-notice, if the encouraging din of the band had been absent. Part of these joyous sounds were made possible by the combined efforts of Bob Cameron, Bill Young, and Don Clarke. Believe it or not, I am almost certain that the only factor preventing Mussolini from marching on Toronto, is his fear of catching up with the U.T.S. band. THE SCHOOL PLAY Three of our dramatic classmates are tak- ing part in the school's dramatization of lVIacbeth. They are Cameron, Duncan, and Alexander.

Mr. Grainger: Do you think paper can be used effectively to keep people warm? Webb: I should say so, sir. The last report card I took home kept the family hot for a week. Mr. Grainger: How many classes of natural magnets are there? Rogers: Blondes and Brunettes. McLean: Yes, and what's more, what I do for a living takes plenty of guts. ' Nesbit: Are you a daredevil? McLean: No, I string Violins. Latest U.T.S. Tragedy A deaf and dumb lst team rugby fan hollered so loud that he sprained his wrist. Inspecting Officer: Private Shaver, what is strategy?
