PIRIT Cand let not the vulgar misinterpiret the terml is an attribute I, that 2T8 has never lacked. The enthusiasm of the members of the 19 A 2' class for the year, for the College, and for the University activities has amply proved it. Our re-unions will reaffirm it. The vicissitudes of fortune, and the casualties of the Spring, have slightly thinned our ranks, but not our spirit. Our graduating class is fand still will be after examsj exceptionally large. The keen support of these large numbers has combined with the notable co-operation between the men and the women to place our year parties and functionsyguided by a succession of exceptionally able executives, in the best-ever class. Individually, as well as collectively, the year QT8 is outstanding. The dis- criminating gaze of posterity Cbest represented in our case by the class of 3T1D can single out both individual men and women champions in the varying arenas of tennis, basketball, soccer, hockey, rugby, assault, swimming, track and other games whose name is legion. In inter-year, in interfaculty, and not least in intercollegiate sport, the name of QT8 will survive. Posterity will realize, however, that we have by no means entirely run to Hbrawn . Have we not a Rhodes and other scholars in our midst? Do not our voices rise in debate at Hart House and the VVomen's Union? What year pre- dominated in the foundation of the U.C. Parliamentary Club , and the U.C. Magazinen? Have we not done our share, yes and more in the Varsity and the Players' Guild ? Did we not Cdoubtless unwittinglyj do more than any other year to get initiations banned from the University? Yet, as we look back, we realize that although the limelight of publicity and fame may have settled upon us, the principal things have been the friend- ships formed, the continual enjoyment of four happy years and the conviction: I,ife's more amusing than we thought.
