Ruth Gregory, Joyce Owen, Tom Robson and Walter Little are studying at the University of Tor¬ onto. Lasse Pah.jola, who won a scholar¬ ship to study music at the Sherwood School, is in Chicago. Not always is the Windsor climate all that is to be desired. Too many times we have thought that Winter was here, only to find that within a few hours the lovely snow had turned to slush, the longed-for ice had melted.

BLUE AND WHITE JFiftli Jfarm 5A French Lesson Nine o’clock has ushered in The start of another day, And bad or good it must be lived By the pupils of 5A. “Who put this sentence on the board?” Is now the questioning cry; The answer comes in halting tones, “Please, miss, I think ’twas I”. “ ’Tis plain to see why you didn’t con¬ fess, You should be in form three, For I’ve repeated and repeated this, Until it sickens me”. Romanis Latinium Penthisilia invito Dumnorix to super- are tonitrus and he rapto at the portiot and cum celerriter.

The date, to be exact, was Feb. 23 1940. It, in itself, will perhaps have lit tie, if any, memories for those not fort¬ unate enough to be in our select cla ss those not privileged, that is, to hear tji- gentle but definitely argumentative dis¬ cussion on why India should have sen- government. A tame topic for an Up] School debate, you remark as you settk down for that badly-needed half-hour- rest. Little did you realize that this sarci topic, not much later, was to havetr teacher accused of communistic princip¬ les and the pupils in a frenzied state- ' bitter rivalry.
