Page sixteen YEAR ®hc Spirit nf Urstmt (rmifii) This year has seen the foundations of our first real student body organiza¬ tions, the Debating Society and the Current Events Club. Beginning, not with a great splash, but quietly, they have increased steadily in numbers and importance. The Debating Club’s success in inter-scholastic debates and the interesting dis¬ cussions of the Current Events Club, show their worth, and now, with the experi¬ ence of a year behind them, they may confidently face the future in the hope of even wider activity. Let us now pause to examine our present position. In the three years of our school’s life we have established an enviable record. In no year have we failed to gain at least one championship and in no sport have we ever been completely smothered. In all, we have captured eleven athletic championships, we are far ahead of any other school in individual, out of school, sports, and have more than held our own in scholarships. Yearly, more clubs have been formed in the school, till now, besides the two already mentioned, there is the Girls’ Organization, Girls’ Athletic Organization, Boys’ Athletic Organization, the Boys’ Hi-Y Club and five Greek letter societies. Of the future we can but speculate. The magnitude of the handicap under which we labor, due to the lack of a gymnasium, cannot be over-estimated. This lack in our school is the only obstacle between ourselves and a school spirit far beyond our fondest dreams. In the three years of our school’s life the students have never been addressed in a body. When a gymnasium is built and when for the first time the student body meets together, that day will be our school’s greatest. From then on, nothing will be able to stop us. School banquets in the school, school concerts, school dances and lectures will, among other things, be easily possible. But this will not be till long after our time. For the present we must get along as best we can. There is no doubt that the plans already under way, shall in the next two years produce at least a school parliament, dramatic club, literary club, orchestra, golf club and tennis club. It has been our lot, in our small way, to be pioneers. We must put up with the corresponding’ difficulties and in the years to come remember our school, be not jealous of more fortunate successors, but help the old school to maintain its foremost position among all rivals. ■—-—-—o—-- One very dark night Balsdon and Whitehome left a dance together rather late. “When you get home,” said Ronald, “if you don’t want to disturb your family, undress at the foot of the stairs, fold your clothes neatly and creep up to your room.” They met the next day in school. “How did you get on?” asked Ronald. “Rottenly,” replied Clifford, “I took off all my clothes at the foot of the stairs as you told me and folded them neatly, I didn’t make a sound. But when I reached the top of the stairs ... it was the C.P.R. Station.” Frances Ferguson (talking of pure thought)—“Now really, don’t you think that girls have cleaner minds than men?” Art Gill—“Huh, they ought to. Look how often they change them!” Roberta—“Can you keep a secret?” Mildred—“Sure I can. But it is just my luck to tell thing’s to other girls who can’t.” ❖ 5 « Mrs. Bagnall—“Now Jack, what makes you say a lawyer is like a carpenter?” Jack Groberman—“He can file a bill; get up a case; empanel a jury; put them in a box; bore a court, and chisel a client.”
