BLUE AND WHITE I Sisters, Brothers and Members A division of the Collegiate social life which has probably been observed but not discussed in any detail is the groups of girls and boys who have organized into sororities, fraternities, or clubs. Al¬ though their meetings often come on a school night, they do not commence un¬ til an hour when each individual has had time to complete his assigned school homework. The main purpose of these clubs is to unite its members more closely in friendship which may and usually does continue past high-school and college age. A second is that of becoming a soc¬ ial and charitable asset to the school and community. There are numerous clubs in Walker- ville Collegiate which I shall now list. (My humble apologies if I overlook any) Among the sororities and girls’ clubs are the Et Cur Non sorority and the Sub Deb club. The Et Cur Non has no club outfit. They have given one success¬ ful afternoon tea. The Sub Deb club is the younger of the two. They have aqua¬ marine sloppy-joes, dubonnet skirts and Eton collars. The boys’ fraternities and clubs are five in number. The largest and perhaps most successful of these is the Delta Theta Gamma Fraternity which is now sporting new navy-blue sweaters and maize letters. They are staging, in con¬ junction with the Sub Deb club, the Del¬ ta Deb Prom on April 12 at Sandwich Collegiate. Let’s be there. The second club, the Iota Theta Kappa, had The Nameless Dance in January. The other clubs are the Kappa Beta Chi who flaunt grey letters on emerald green, the Sigma Tau Nu with their grey letters on maroon sweaters, and the Top-Hatt¬ ers who display a black top hat on a yellow crest. Although these clubs are frowned on by teachers they soon hope to be the pride of and a credit to our school. RALPH COLE, 12B. HOME NURSING CLASSES Early in the school year Mr. McNau- ghton announced that plans were being made for the girls to attend a series of Home Nursing classes. Enthusiastically many girls enrolled for the first few lectures, but unfortunately, due to other school activities, the attendance rapidly fell very low at these meetings. However, the girls who were able to continue this course wish to thank, first, Mr. McNaughton for having made it possible and last but not least, Mrs. Lownds whose untiring effort and sacr¬ ifice of time and energy has made it a success. These classes conducted under the au¬ spices of the local Red Cross consisted of twenty meetings held at the school and a series of very valuable lectures, given at Patterson Collegiate. These lectures given by the most distinguished physicians of Windsor, were most in¬ forming and appreciated greatly by those who were fortunate enough to be able to attend. Mrs. Lownds has been working under great difficulty in the lack of sufficient equipment, but she has given us a new insight into practical nursing. We do not profess to be accomplished nurses, but we hope that in the case of necessity, we may be able to make use of that know¬ ledge we have been given here at the school. There are approximately fifteen girls who have successfully completed the course and are eligible for the Red Cross Home Nursing cards. Our only regret is that more girls were not so privileged as we in our association with Mrs. Lownds and the local Red Cross. Again may we thank everyone who has made this Home Nursing Course possible in our school. FLORENCE KEMPSON. Camlis: It must be hard to drink with a moustache. Musgrave: Yes, quite a strain.

The husband did his best, but he got two stations at once; one was broadcasting the morning exercises — the other, re¬ cipes. This is what he copied: Hands on hips, place one cup of flour I on shoulders, raise knees and depress toes and wash thoroughly in half a can of milk. In four counts raise and lower legs and mash two hard-boiled eggs into ; ieve, repeat six times. Inhale one half-teaspoon of baking owder and one cup flour, breathe nat¬ urally, exhale, and sift. Attention, jump o a squatting position and bend the whites of three eggs backward and for¬ ward over the head and in four counts, wl make a stiff dough that will stretch i; t the waist. Lie flat on the floor and roll nto a marble the size of a walnut. Hop 0 a standstill and boil in water to a gall- P afterwards. In ten minutes, remove ■rom the fire and dry with a towel, breathe naturally and dress in warm tonnels and serve with fish soup. GIRLS’ ATHLETIC (Continued from page 68) Approximately seventy-five girls took part in these playdays, either as parti¬ cipants or as officials; whereas only eighteen girls could have taken part in a baseball series. Baseball is the sport which, until this year, took the place of playdays. ♦ Two little fleas sat on a rock, And one to the other said: I have no place to hang my hat, Now the old dog is dead; I wandered the wide world o’er, And further shall I roam, And the first d m dog that shows his face Will be my “Home, Sweet Home”. JACK LEONARD, 10A. Ken Stewart (in School Orchestra): I wish the other boys would play what I’m playing! Page Sixty nine

THE BADMINTON CLUB Every Saturday afternoon from two util five the Badminton Club has the elusive use of the gymnasium. The Jb at the present time is not very large members, but it is steadily increas- The officers elected at the beginning ' the badminton season were: Ralph lie, president; Betty Green, secretary- casurer. For every afternoon that you V, there is a fee of five cents which ;ibles the club to buy shuttlecocks. A teacher must be present at the school on the Saturday afternoons the club plays, and we would like to thank the teachers who so generously and kindly gave up one or more of their Saturday afternoons to come to the school for badminton. £ s§( Teacher: Do you know that a fool can ask more questions than a wise man can answer? Pupil: Is that why I failed in my ex¬ ams, sir? Page seventy-one
