Federation, Windsor, They were entertained by the students, who showed by several pantomimes the slogans of the Y.C.S. For a tithe it looked as if there might be a six teen legged race and a one-sided tug-of-war. Working together in fact is not as difficult as represent- ing it in this fashion. The harmon- ica band performed much to the amazement of Father O'Flaherty who had never before seen girls playing mouth organs. Valentine Day was anticipated. After a lot of fun popping corn and making syrup we actually produced real pop corn balls. After some mus- ic and dancing, the valentines were given out.
