AFFAIRS INTERESTINGLY.WRITTEN [IP BY A STUDENT 'Blow, blow, thou winter wind Thou art not so unkind .As man's ingratitude." That may not . be an' absolutely correct quotation; but' Oh Boy! does it ever sum up the situation beauti- fully. We' can almost look kindly upon the Winter wind after we have :suffered from a taste of mat's (and women's) ingratitude. It almost broke our trusting little hearts the othez night, when a young lady 'ap- proached us and ,called us a wart. :Picture it,, think of it, (we'feel like quoting to-night-�-- hope nobody ob- iota?) and all that we did was to quote some' verses which she mane up. And why slid we quote. them?' Simply because we thought that they were too good to be kept under cover, and hidden from the general public, And another case of rank ingratitude: Last week we' spent several paragraphs in a. sympathetic outburst for one of our girl -friends who, was stricken with either: meas- les; mumps, or both. And what did he do when we had finished it? She came back to school remarking that het• , cold was. quite better, thank, you very much. And to name, another example, there was Jiminie Reynolds who said ^ he was coming baelk to school; just to fill up space,! we remarked that Jim was playing I.` Prodigal Son to the G C. (Ton may well say "What? Again?")' Well lie didn't come back, and when wewith shoutsof approached him i protest . 'did he apoligise? Not on your life. He threatened bo sue' us .for publishing'; untruths" about hitm There it is. It's a hard life. We • have often wondered . do people ever hibernate' in the winter? We are beginning to think they do; else where have Londesborough • (is that. how yea' spell it?) and Bruce field, Zurich and Hensall been the, past week ? . Their cheerful faces are not seen' any more about the C. C. I. where they' were wont to• r' oars liom 9.15 to 3.30 every week day,` Probably they haye holed -up; in some snuglittle road -side deli rid there a• they are sleeping until. the long cold°. winter is; over, and • the snow thaws and Robin Red -Breast comes droit ling back from the Sunny South, There was a day when we „read Thornton W1 Burgess with avidity and this is the result of it, , Were you at our skating party?, If you were you 'mass ,skip this, and if youweren't you may suit ,yourself about it. The ice was excellent, and though the•crowd looked rather small. at first, it' soon increased sufficiently to remove all' fears from the minds of even the mnost'cynical: •-We could' almost wax", poetic about the hot- , dogs; even if Geordie Elliott did help to make th im. Somehow we never thought of he worthy George as a -hot-dog-maker. But we won't wax poetic dont look- so scared. Of course, there were objectionable details, such as a band of First -Form Patrolling up and down clanging a bell in your ears, and exhorting • you threateningly to "Come-in-an-hava- n cupacoffee-only a nickel. Howev- er, all the, hot-dogs and coffee were disposed of thanks to the super -sales- manship of Ellen Charlesworth, Sa- die Elliott and Dorothy -Holland. The amount earners we could not satisfac- torily ascertain for one person told us this, and another person told us that. We gather that it was in the neighbourhood of so: And about that basket -ball game —we are, going to tell you, as it is our duty to publish the school news (as fat as we can remember it) whether we like it or no-ot. We thought at first that we should have to forfeit the game because of the weather and `several parents were known to have remarked ominously,, "If it keeps on snowing like this, T very much doubt if you'Il go. "Hew - ever, it was arranged that the girls were to 'go down by train, and the boys, who wear more clothes any- way, were sent by car. The ;boys reached there first, and their game was almost over when the girls put M an appearance. It seemed to be a -rather good game, btuthe length of the . floor made them misjudge their shots somewhat. As we have mentioned before, we are treading an sosnewhat thin ice when•we.start de- claiming about "boy's' basket -ball, and anyway we, didn't see the whole Tame. Therefore we shall be rather brief and content ourselves with 'saying that Clinton's scoring hon- ours/went to Lavis and McInnes, and Stratford's to Tomlinson and Far- row. Personals were handed out to Biggart' McInnes, Shines and Far row.'• The tine -tips were as follows: By the way someone asked us why we put the line-ups iii - they said that they weren't interesting. Wel; the hockey write-ups always put theta in so why shouldn't we? Be- sides someone might want to know. Ahern! Line-ups Stratford: Folwards, Tomlinson, Snaith, Farrow, Kilpatrick, Ingrain, Carr; Guards, Peterson, Stapleton, Polly; Hisbon, Shines. Cliutoni Forwards, Lavis, Garrett, Holmes, .Bartliff, Reid, Elliott, Big- gart; Guards, McInnes, Hovey. The score was 25-6 for Stratford.: ;he ratio game will be played some It me in the near future. When the' girls game began, .tllay had the same trouble as the boys .. . namely, too much space. The gym was far bigger than our own modest little glace, and'we felt rather lost in. its vast expanse. There were no indications, though, of .the fear in the hearts ,of our girls• for the first per- iod, in which an exhibition of almost perfect basket -ball was given. Ne- ther side could score, and at_the end of the first the score stood zero all, This niay occur quite easily. in some` games, but in basket -ball it almost never happens. In the second• period things warmed up somewhat and ev- eryone began to get fouls or bas- kets, or maybe both. Florjs Zulauf` Stratford's' best bet on the .forward line, put in four baskets, while Grace Capling got one on. a free shot. Hazel Cowan put in the only Clinton bas- ket of the period, which ended 9-2 for Stratford. In the. last half Mary Fear and Cora Streets both put in a basket, while Edith 'Fitzgeorge put in two for Stratford and the grime ended, 13-6 for Stratford: tine -up: Stratford Forwards, Floris Zulauf, Edith ]�itzgeorge, Grace Capling, Dorothy Sealy, Mary Harrison; guards, Mabel Zurbrigg, Winnie Garner, Gwen Parkinson, Jean ;• Cook, Ruth. Cookson' and Jean Law. Clinton: Forwards; Noiiina Cook, Cora Streets, Hazel: Cowan, Mary Fear, Helen Levis; guards, Kay Cun-: ringhame, Faye Lindsaye, Gertrude Holmes, Violet Freinlin, Sybil Mac tenzie, After the game was over we had lunch and trooped home. Congratu- lations Stratford: You were just a little bit too big.; We 'forgot to mention, while, : we were back on the h 'subject; of e i l h skating party, about the uncomfort- able habit of one young lady 'who, cause sans skates, .She sat•on the bench and hid her feet (you may not think -this possible but 'it certainly was done neatly) and ,when several boys 'came np and requested that slie skate with them, she assented with a gracious sivile: What'',was• the horror of Percy Hearnwhen he got half way around the 'rink and found that he was escorting a young lady whose pedal' a extremitieswere p daiis- tiy •clad in a pair of stout leather shoes. With a', yelp of horror Percy unreel and ;headed desperately for the benches, with his fair betrayer hanging on his arm and chortling shameless] with y v laughter. Amazed spectators'watthed her perform this three times after ' which ` the boys seemed to get wise and would call out in tones of'biting' sarcasm as they dashed' by "Why didn't you bring your skates along?". Another sight which filled us with great surrpise was to see some of our highly respected teachers -sap - Peering at the carnival' in costumes which nearly were the death of the students. What de you think' , of people who braid their hair and' tie ribbons in it? and wear middies and! very short skirts?: All well and good if you must do it but why flaunt such weaknesses in public? There is still another objection •to lodge. What are' skates for? To skate on. Exactly. Then why do people insist en treating them like snow -shoes and walking around the rink m them? They said`.that they ,were -a- fraid of falling, which we ;think is a fliulsey excuse. We don't know what theirulterior t' r i motive was,brit. we're w t sure that they have one. .• `3 e forgot to mention in last week's' account that Mr. Pingland addressed the school on the govern- ment of Canada a week from Friday and the preceding week Mr. Paterson spoke on money; last Friday Dr. McIntyre gave a talk on the care of the teeth, Very interesting and educational. Don't know why we forgot thein, but we dict. Perhaps we are just dumb; but 'better late than never as the First -Formers say when they come in two months behind time with their supplementaries. There! . We think we have covered it all. • On looking over the page which we have just typed it looks as if we stuttered rather badly, and it carne out bur fingers instead of our mouths.

RADIO INTERFERENCE Editor' The News-Neeord, Dear Editor: ---For some time the residents of Huron Street, west of Albert, have suffered considerably from radio interference, particularly from half past ten until about. eleven - thirty o'clock in the evening. This is just about' the time when radio listeners desire to hear the' news broadcast. The' interference seems to be caused by some electrical dovite, such as a violet ray inachine.•I feel stue, •dear editor, that if the owners •realize hown l d tz ch the use of this machine interfered with radio recep- tion of the neighbors at these hours they would arrange for its use at. some other hour.
