Away o’er the valley and up on the hill, Leaping and galloping, ne’er standing still, Whistling through branches of mighty trees, Prancing and dancing and trying to tease, Then slowly and quietly sinking to rest, And rocking the birds to sleep in their nest. —Josephine, Clubb, 9CF. The P. C. Pincock Golf Trophy has adorned our school wall during - the past year, this trophy having been won in the 1929 Schoolmaster’ Club Competition by Mr. Beveridge. We’ll give it space next year, too, Mr. Beveridge.

It resulted in our boys scoring but one mark over the Earl Grey in their singing of the second song. “A close contest, in which there was very much excellent singing.” said Dr. Staton, in announcing that we had won the James Tees Shield, with 88 and 87 marks for our songs. This success placed our boys in the competi¬ tio n for the Earl Grey Trophy, emblematic of the championship in the school choral classes. It was won by the splendid Daniel McIntyre singers and proved to be the most thrilling and exciting event of the festival. But our boys felt doubly rewarded for their efforts when Miss Buckley, of whom they are justly proud, was made conductress of a mass choir of three hundred boys, who song at the afternoon performance of the Min¬ neapolis Symphony Orchestra. The choir was well received and the first selection, “The Boy’s Song,” was repeated in an answer to a thunder of applause. Although the girls’ choir did not win first place their marks were good, receiving 84 for the first selection, “Charming Cloe,” and 82 for the sec-
