AFFAIRS INTERESTINGLY WRITTEN UP BY A STUDENT VVhll we are back again and the old grind is renewed: One thing, we lire not earning back to a set of ex- ams, as in former years. That's one point in the' favour of early reports. We look about as as we tramp into the cloak -room andnote that Christ- mas has left its mark on the stu- dents. Somehow, they seem glad to he back at school, We *•do not at-- tempt t=.tempt to explain this phenomenon;. personally we are, going- to miss our early morning siestas, which must now be cutoff .short at 8.30. Well, what is new at school? 05 .course you knew' that all members' of the basketball teams must scrape tip a fifty percent on the Christmas ex- ams. We find that most of ' our bright young friends have managed this and are now all set for the cons-. ing , season. Fashion Notes. Santa Claus evidently was very kind to the `stridents, as evinced by the splendid new attire of the for- tunate ones. : Cora Streets is giving the Spring a run for its money by donning a gay, green garb (isn'tn't that the correct terns applied to Spring by lyric -writers?) Cora's differs from •Spring's in that it eon- sists of cap, glove, scarf and purse, whereas 'Spring's, as far as we can gather is mostly burls . and leaves. Never mind Cora, its a very credit- able imitation anyway. Joyce Don - San was so impressed by the colour scheme 'favoured by Santa Claus that she adopted it herself. Red cap and jacket, red -and -white scarf, very seasonable. Helen Levis appears In blue twin sweater set of which she gives a rather garbled- account -- ontething about its being hand - knitted but boughten, or vice -versa, and we don't think we had better say anything more about it as -we aren't very sure of ourselves on the sub- ject;. except it is very nice. Agnes Cameron is flaunting a very snazzy purse, hand -knitted, (we know that for a fact, anyway,) in the school colours, blue. and red, with her ini- tials in the corner. Dint Bartliff proudly display's, a bright blue scarf and Foxie Holland appears in blue .ueatet aand cap set. Dougan strikes us violently between the eyes with an extremely bright red -and -blue sweat- er. School colours .are the rage and how! "Pep" Pepper and "Gam - le" Biggart decided to be different and appear in new suspenders (very gaudy.as to hire) instead of the pro- verbial h ) n verbial socks and tie. "Chev" Lav - is, "Hack" Johnson and and "Pilot" Ho- veyallshowed im new ties. They are all rather offensive as to colour. Yes, all the C.C.I. students are weaning something new and bright. Wouldn't it be nice if the old school- should follow their example, and burst forth in something nice' and new? For instance, a'glass case for the cups, oh ALL right! Social Events Miss Sadie Elliott spent part of her vacation in Detroit, with friends. We did not question' Miss Elliott on the subject but we heard that she especially enjoyed the trip down. We name no names, but oh -h -h Sadie!! Miss Helen Levis apparently took her 'Christmas holidays atthe skat- ing rink, with Miss Gertrude Holmes. They seemed to be having a good time. Agnes Cameron and Alvin Corless both went to Goclerich to sea "The Last Days of Pompeii". (Now, now, we aren't insinuating anything, they Lucknow Lady Reaches The 100th Milestone Celebrates Centenary Surrounded By Friends In the comfortable home of her daughter, Mrs.' A, G. Elliott, Luck - now, Mrs. Hays last week celebrated her 100th birthday' by meeting hundreds of of people. She shook hands with them she talked with them, she laughed with them and she thorough- ly enjoyed the day. She was quite. excited over it all, as excited as a youngster waiting for Santa Claus. Seated at her side, while she :net her callers, was her oldest living friend, Mrs. Elizabeth Courtney of Kincar- dine who is 81 years of age. A highlight of this rarely occur- ring event, was the .presentation to Misr Hays of a birthday cake, by Lucknow residents, who were for- mer friends at Seaforth. Adorning the cake were 100 candles, which were lighted at four o'clock on Mon- day afternoon, when this group of friends called in a body. To Mrs. Courtney went the task of blowing out the lighted candles and Mr. George S. Robertson had the honor of cutting the cake. Mr. Robertson and Mrs: Hays had a happy time for a few minutes as they recalled by- gone days at Seaforth, where years ago Mr. Robertson delivered bread to the Hays hone. Mr. MsiNab, anoth- er member of noth-er-memberof the circle of friends,' first learned to know Mrs,; Hays ,un- der the same circumstances. - Production 95 'creamery butter in Canada during' the first eleven months of 1,986 amounted to 228,- 928,569 pounds, an increase of two percent, compared With, the corre- sponding"'period of -1934. duty have seen it separately, but any- way; they both saw it) and they both tliought it splendid: In fact Mist Cameron told us all about it, (the picture,. of course -not the rest of the evening) ,and she was very glow - Ing in her description. Gordon Monteith incurred a small debt which should be ,paid immed- iately. His creditor would be great- ly obliged if he would meet it as soon as possible. • ' Faye Lindsaye had a very trice time over the holidays. She was sick in hent, 'Please note the exception that proves the rule; She dict not enjoy herself very much. One thing, Faye you did supply the hard-work- ing reporter with a Iittle variation from the time -worn phrase "good time was had by all." Was it too much celebrating? • That seems to be about all in the way of social activities except that the teachers all went home for the holidays.. And they seemed to en- joy it also, because they wished the holidays were longer. Well they weren't the only ones. We hoped that the first -formers heeded the helpful hints as to how to turn their holiday leisure to good account which Mr. Fines told them on the last day •of school. You know—study Geo graphy the first day, history next, etc, People You Know. Did you know that our young friend Rip 11lute]t was a Two -woman man'? Just as the big bad,cow-boys out west wave two or there guns a. bout with the utmost abandon, se Rip (and him a mere second -form - ern!) flaunts his varies; girl -friends in the eyes of the populace with a carefree lack of regard for the con- sequences. Be careful young matt!. Pride goeth before'a fall, and remem- ber, when you court two women, you're also—unknown to yourself— courting a third, and her name is D!s- aster. The watchword in this case is "IIave you a little Lothario in your school? Hack Johnson is carving himself it career. You didn't know? Well, he's going in for clratna in a big way. No matter what he is doing, his art will creep in, Monday in school, he sat reading his part over. At a later date he was reciting it for the benefit of all within a wide range. We like to encourage him in his am- bitions, there are limits. nits. Ruth Andrews spent a very happy holiday riding about in a certain brown; sh co!oure d car, g with a green light on the radiator cap. We have seen the young lady in this car quite+ frequently—maybe she is taking driving lessons? Agnes "Morg" Agnew celebrates the new year by wearing a very smart new blue dress to school. Audrey Murdoch, who is evidently a woman with a past, now proves herself to be a woman with a pre- sent, which consists of a signet ring bearing the letter "S." Let's see •. . . "S"? Neither Audrey nor Murdoch begins with "S" . isn't that 'strange! People You Probably Don't Know Fourth Form has a new -comer ill their midst—Miss Leola Knott (Jack to her friends) has started to school here. She formerly attended Sea - forth High School. Margaret Levy is also sporting a new 'dress • . . some people get all She breaks. . Ethel Hoggarth is a bird -lover. It is quite a hobby of hers.

He is the first' of the C.C.I. students to ,I'ass a note; in the New Year. Fii- chie's little billet-doux was clocked at two minutes past nine. That's quite a record, even fora fast work- er.: Why, most of us are hardly back from Opening Exercises by • that bine. Andspeaking of Opening Exercis- es, we ,wish Miss Beattie wouldn't bother with her daily struggles with the windows. That cold east wind, you know. And of course you heard the one about the first former who didn't see why they called their Opening Exercises the only exercise taken was the teachers climbing the steps —unless you called standing. up and sitting down exorcise? And as for the opening partof it, you didn't dare open your mouth even, or you had to stay in Evidently, the lad expected a few mild calisthenics Something like this, perhaps? Mr. Fines, speaking from the plat- form: For opening exercises this morning, the whole of Second -Form will swing on the stage -curtains; this will be followed by a short folic -dance by the staff. Wouldn't it be fun! Little Locals. ' Of course, Fourth Forin started off the new year right by being kept sir after four. For too much talk- ing. Dint Bartliff has distinguished himself by scoring two goals for the Jr. hockey team at Seaforth. Riley Johnson scored one. Oh boy, are we good. Ill the Lotus Eaters, which is a po- ent by Tennyson in case anyone did- n't know, the sailors carne to a land in which "it seemed forever after- noon." Well, .who'd have thought that the C.C.I, should torn out to be a land like that , a of the Lotus -Eat- ers. i- e ort s Eat- ers. It even has it beat. We are more specific than Tennyson—it is not only forever afternoon, but as- eordctig to the school chock, it is for- ever exactly 25 minutes to 5. Per- sonally we think it high time that the clock Was s fixed. It isa terrible thing to look at the clock and see that you have to watt 26 minutes till tea -time, no matter whatthe ,ne real time is. Should we have put it under the� heading of social events we wonder? or sports? Oh well, Norma Cook very carelessly thrust her hand through a window plate glass wmdoty on Dec. 24th with what we consider a great lack of consideration for ,the store -keep- er. She complained that it hurt and went to a doctor to have it bound up. Site was accompanied by C o VA Streets, whose presence was ex- plained'not, as the unfortunate Nor - r• uta imagined, from kind solicitude to- wards the injured one, but out of a very callous sense of: ambition. She. wanted to help, she tells tis,so that she can get some practical training for her future career as 'a nurse. Norma remarks that her hand is still quite painful. We can express no sympathy for one who g'ocs about thrusting her hand through other people's windows. "What," we en- quire, (our deteetivirig blood getting riled up) 'was on the other side •ot the window?" New Year's Revolutions at the 0.0.1:, The most -'noticeab'l'e revolution at. the school 15 that of the students dashing up, to sign the late -book; then turning back to their rooms. ' Cecil Holmes has resolved not to miss a single hockey game. We hope he sticks to it. He seemed to be re- volving, a lot at the game on Friday. Arid who is revolved here.? Our old pal Jarnes Reynolds has turned back to the C. C. I. That is, he says that he intends to stage a come -back. A new wrinkle! Several of the young ladies about the scheol have resolved to "be 'sensible" and hav e cast aside the frivolous crepe and chiffon for the sturdy comfort of woollen stockings. At present we can say no more than we don't blame theta. Itis a natter of taste (or feel?).. Of course Hack Johnson revolved• a lot of resolutions in his mind un- til he remembered that lie had to 'keep the one he made last year -not to make any more New Year's Reso- lutions. We ourselves have decided to play safe. Last year we resolved not to break this years resolutions and so we resolved to do without caviar and absinthe for the next year,' Pardon? O.K. We . bet that we keep ours longer than you keep the one about being in bed at ten every night. Agnes Agnew resolved to quit us- ing slang, but she found that she simply had to talk. • She discovered that to keep her resolution was to maintain'absolute silence for a whole year, or else talk in French. She tried to manage the latter course but she couldn't .remember the phrase for Oh shut -up Dixon and was ob- liged to lapse into English. We un- derstand that she considers New Year's Resolutions afotahooey. Dorothy Holland resolves to keep her mind off a boy. Do you think it would weight him down, Foxie? AudreyMurdoch bus resolved not ec to be impertinent to Mr. Franks. Un- less he speaks first. Thought for the past weeks: Why was it there never was time to do that composition assignment'? Or read that supplementary? And what will t be the high -lights of the new school tern:? Basket -ball? Hockey? And what is that other th it e t e nt which is usually as sus I ociat- s ed with school? Oh yes! It's home- wliork, Just one or two things you missed by not being a Fourth -Former on the last day of school. An exam in Eng- lish Comp. was one. And Benson Sutter's pretty little thank -you speech to Miss Nixon for her choco- lates, Most inspiring. Wonder if there's time still to read that supplementary? Well there's nothing like trying, is there? S'long for now, See youagain next week.
