went mit to help start the train struck
so hard that it broke the teat of the
train, also something else so they
went back to Sudbury for repairs.
We went first after that and when
we sti noir the $11OW banks some times

we stuck fast and had to get help.

BROWS CONTINUATION NOOK
The following7s tite report of the
Et ter Test examinations in Forms 121
and 11. While the report shows evi•
Mance of improvement over the Christ-
mas Test it must not be cousidered that
the dttplis who 111We obtained a good
standing are "sure" students for. the
final examinations. In some cases the
standing taken is higher than the aver-
ege work done by the pupils in that sub.
3ect. This report is a fair estimate of
relative class ability and will be cou-
sidered in conjunction with the Christ-
mas report when Principal snakes his
recommendation to Department of
Education.
NOTE -The parents are asked to co.
operate with teachers in urging pupils
to do their utmost from now till data of
writing. Many certificates are obtained
by close, persistent application during
the last few months. Private reports
are being sent to perents,
