During the initiation period, older students were responsible for teaching freshmen their place as junior members of the stud- ent body. Emphasis was teid an the sovereignty•of senior stud- ents over freslrmren. Freshmen polished shoes, carried books, and held doors open for their super- iors. The ' garments modelled by the newcomers were adapted from Paris creations. Freshmen wore pyjama tops over their other clothes and carried signs bear- ing their names. Girls' hair styles surpassed ell imagination and the boys, with their pant -legs rolled up, displayed many shapely legs. The climax•of the , Initiation period came on Friday night when parents, teachers and stud- ents gathered in the school aud- itorium. With student President Bob Elliott as master of cere- monies, the senior students haz- ed the freshmen with a series of stunts which were entertain- ing to all. Such items as a moth, a rusty nail, a dew worm, and a lady's garter were hunted by bewilder- ed freshmen in a scavenger hunt which lasted until nine o'clock. Ali Baba came to life in the person of one freshman who spent part of the evening in front of a local jewellery store crying "Open Sesame". Dressed in an Arab- ian headpiece, All Baba soon drew a crowd of amused citizens. Two "student beggars spent the evening at Clinton's Five Points begging for dimes which would noble them to buy a new car. A highlight of the evening was he dispatching of one fellow to meet his "Aunt Minnie" at the bus stop. This poor freshman was to stop every lady who em- rged from the bus and to ask er if she were his "Aunt Min- nie." If so, did she have a mole with four hairs behind her left ear? We might add that "Aunt Minnie" was not to be found. The evening's programme was terminated by the traditional visit to the Torture Chamber In the "dungeon" of the school. St._• Andrew's WMS. Hears Delegates The WMS of St. Andrew's Presbyterian 'Church met at the home of Mrs. James Makins. Mrs. R. W. McKenzie, president, con- ducted the opening exercises. The 23rd psalm was repeated in unis- on and Mrs. •Charles Clifton led in prayer, Current events presented by Mrs. John Snider, told of Janet Andrews of British. Guiana writ- ing to a friend and describing the animals of that country. Bhilend Amkhut Fields in In- dia were described by Mrs. John Hall in her review from the Study Book. Arrangements were made for the autumn thankoffering meet- ing when a guest speaker will be present. Mrs. Snider assisted Mrs. Mak- ins in serving refreshments. Mrs. Clifton continued her Bible Quizz which proved most interesting. MIDGET GAME SATURDAY Russell E.

Their private sitting room, exquisitely and tastefully decorated, was the setting. "I found them most charming and agreeable --simple and dignified—informal and grac- ious," reported Yousuf Karsh, the famous Canadian photographer. "From a personal point of view, what impressed me the most, perhaps, was their will- ingness, one might almost say their anxiety, to co-operate in every way possible: Like all truly great people, they seem to have an instinctive appreciation and understanding of the artist's need's and desires, "The fact that I had photographed the Royal family before, was recalled by Princess Elizabeth.
