Our idea of a monologue is a conversation between a late student and Mr. Stanley. $ He—“I want two pillow cases.” She—“What size?” He—“1 dunno. I wear a 714 hat.” The novelist’s son had just been punished for telling ' a lie. His sobs having died away, he sat for a while in silent thought. “Pa,” said he, “how long will it take before I stop gettin’ licked for tellin’ lies, and get paid for ’em like you do?” Little Girl—“Did Santa Claus come down your chimney?” Little Boy—“Well, Santa Claus didn’t . . . we’re economizing this year, so Daddy did.”

BOOK Page fifty-seven seemed to be in great distress. This was Marion Salmon who appeared to have lost something. I wondered what it was, but understood when I noticed that she had no halo. My observations were interrupted by Bercuson who said, “You’ll have lots of time to meet them later. Come with me, I have something to show you.” We went in, and I followed him down a long corridor upon each side of which doors opened. Two of these doors were ajar. I stopped outside the first, and hearing strains of music, I opened the door wider and peeked in. I saw a small orchestra which was playing Chopin’s snappy “Dead March.” Ruth Benedict on the Piccolo was accompanied by Helen and Marion Aikenhead on the telephone, Nora Williams on the gigg lephone and Jessie Lees on gum. I closed the door, and moved on to the next room. This was furnished with two chairs, a table upon which several different kinds of cheese had been placed; a long bench covered with chemical apparatus, an operating table and a grindstone. Dick Sharpies and Douglas Stuart were busy eating cheese. Asleep on the operating table, his fea¬ tures contorted with agony, lay Robert Brews. I felt quite sorry for him. Fraser Macalister was turning the grindstone while Robert Hood bent over it with a Latin text book. Hardly believing my eyes I asked Leonard what they were doing. He informed me that the first three were experimenting to remove the nightmare from cheese, while Hood and Macalister are grinding Lenzes for the Bridge Club. Pass¬ ing on down the corridor, we stopped in front of one of the doors. Bercuson said, “This will be your room while you stay here. I hope you like it.” He unlocked the door, and I stepped inside. My first suspicion of foul play came when the door slammed behind me. Smelling an onion I leaped around and tried to open it, but it was locked. I shouted, and thumped upon the door and walls, but all of no avail. The room was padded! Mr. Pulleyblank—“Look more closely at your books. Pm at (c).” Mr. Harding—“Name a transparent object.” Marion Ruppe—“A doughnut.” Miss Sage—“We borrowed our numerals from the Arabs, our calendar from the Romans, our banking from the Italians. Can anyone think of any further examples?” Bill Russell—“Our lawnmower from the Smith’s, our snow-hovel from the Jones’s, our baby carriage from the Brown’s.” s H Miss James—“Order, please.” Alfred Groberman (sleepily)—“Apple pie and coffee.” Mr. Stewart—“Take four out of five, and what have you got?” Crichton—“Pyhorrhoea.” Mr. Kankaroo—“But Mary, where is the baby?” Mrs. Kangaroo—“Good heavens! I’ve had my pocket picked.” Johnny was sent to the doctor with this note: “Please will you do something for Johnny’s face; he has had it a long time and it’s spreading.”

BOOK Paye fifty-nine (Eafot JJptita—1931-32 A. H. FERGUSON, Captain Since writing a few notes for the last publication of this magazine, the Cadets of Western C anada High School have won several honors. First of all they won the Mayland Shield, awarded to the most efficient Cadet Corp among the Calgary High Schools at the annual Inspection of Cadets. Ably led by Douglas Robertson as company commander, Jack Moore, Bob Foulds, Bob Taylor and Jack Snell as Platoon commanders, the boys made a very creditable showing indeed, considering only about 30 minutes each week is given to Cadet and Physical training. Then Douglas Robertson and Russell Dingle won places on the Alberta Rifle team and went to Toronto and Ottawa as members of the team, doing well by winning several prizes and enjoying the trip immensely. Then Henry Patterson won the Senior Championship “Anderson” Cup on the open range, and several other prizes were won at the Provincial Meet of the Alberta Rifle Association by D. Robertson, R. Dingle, A. Davidson and G. Bass. For 1932 season there are again four platoons. Bob Foulds is company com¬ mander, with Bob Taylor, Jack Snell, Bill Russell and Art Gill as Platoon com¬ manders, and the prospects of having a fairly efficient corp are again good. A large number (over 100) of boys from the school have been taking shoot¬ ing practice on the indoor range during the winter, many of them doing well and others showing promise of developing into good shots. Russell Dingle again won the Senior Best Shot Badge and George Bass the Junior. In Canadian Rifle League Competitions the following won Marksmen Badges: SENIORS—R. Dingle, 290; A. Low, 289; A.

Swann, 98 each; J. Snell and J. Irvine 97’s, and a number of 96’s and 95’s. In the Dominion Marksmen Club, prizes were won as follows: GOLD PINS—G. Bass, D. Barr, D. Clapperton, R. Hoar, A. Low, J.
