Today WO' got busy looking . open
Hoene •old Schpol News clippings, and
aMongst them wks,•'trliis poem, which
we are gping to re -print in connection
with, the Arts 'Club dance.
(Come on, kids, it's a dance,
And it's brewing - in the air,
gust ask your fee at the table
And you're free from every care
Don't let the Arts Club down
By glueing yourself to the wall;'
It'e in• the auditorium,
Aiid' no's out in the hall.
-Arne please, don't let them say,
It's just any old dance,
'Pause it's Centralia's 10 -piece orch-
estra, ,
And bhey''11 really make you prance.
But don't get all. excited "
When you step inside the door,
Just climb the stairs and. be prepared
To glide across the floor.
'Cause it isn't just plain dancing,
When this music fills the air;' •
.• But jazzing and romancing,
And it goes right to your hair. ,
—Dorothy Huisser

"No great deed is .done by falterers
Who ask for certainty'." This thought
may'"we11 be applied to our War Sav-,
ings Stamen sale which, ,until this
;week, had been dropping down th'e
scale. Yes! No great deed is done,
by falterers who ask for certainty,
and we might.'well consider ourselves
falterers in this present day struggle.
Should we, who have let our respons-
ibility of -buying stamps ..fall, ask or
rather demand, that this war be"won
so 'that we may continue to enjoy dur
freedom of speech, religion, education
and press? Should we, the falterers,
ask that our soldiers, sailors and air-
men guarantee the victory for us if
we, ourselves, fail in our own small
task? Those of you 'who have -read
articles 'on the atrocities • of war ,1yyi11
realize that we are fighting something
that is bigger and stronger than we
believe, or are made to believe, and'
that it time we •put our 'shoulders
to the wheel and boosted those stamp
sales. It is time now that we roused
ourselves to reality and faced the is-
sues' at stake, namely, that our sales
are low, have lbeen, and will be until
each ane of us realizes that no war
can be won unless we ourselves.lend
a hand. .
.Were .you a falterer this. week? -
Don't he one next week!
Seeing that Old Man Winter sent
a fresh layer of Snow, he made it Poe'

their tobogganing party ' Monday.
night. From the many rumors, we
learned that Grade Xi was Particular-
ly welcomed by Grade IX and as ,the
saying goes, "A good time was had
by all." The parties returned from
the gully at 10 p.m., filled . tblengselves•
on hot cocoa .and weiners': and-•iinish-

The i dgular meeting of the Junior
Red Cross was •held on Tuesday in
Grade X. The enrolment forth- was
signed by the ' memlbers -of the organ-
ization and will be sent to headquar-
ters. An interesting story. on "Way-
side Altars," written by Marjorie
Trotter, was read by • Joan McMaster
and the.;, groups adjourned to work
rooms. In the sewing room it will • be
only a matter of ,several_mgre meet-
ings and the• girls will .have .complet-
ed their project. This seems to- be a
record set ;by the'-' sewers, and it is
to be hoped they keep up the good
work.
As for the knitters, figures show
that already they've completed quite
a number of. articles and are still
working hard on their own projects.
Apparently the leek of sleep is ,be-
ginning. to show its effects on a cer-
tain Third Form student, especially
after such strenuous sports as tobog-
ganing and skiing! Of course we
mention no names, but to the Third
Formers .she 's considered' a champ
of the S.C.I. Now will some one
please ask this student what happen-
ed during a certain plass the day af-
ter the form" tobogganing party?

Upon reaching Tunisia his organiza-
tion moved on to a, landing field whitch
had been occupied by the, Germans
six 'hours 'before the arrival of the
British. Here Fit. Lt. Daly related a
story of obtaining sports equipment,
including a football, for the men. A
football game was soon organized and
after playing for one half hour an
advance' party of mine -detector crows
went over the football field. "The
game," die said, "broke yup in short
order.".
After he left Tunis his work took

and depreciating the fertility .of the
