there. was a d'emonetration going

playing of Mies' M. Syme. I'M

more she would have' been given
as many encores as the quartette.
Remember, if you haven't come
to one of these concert, you still
have a chance. The next one is on
Feb. 2. That gives you plenty of
time to make any preparations

Everyone is talking about -the
Community Centre these days„ but
S.T.S. got behind the campaign• and
not only talked but donated. Dur-
ing the last week many of the stu-
dents and some of the teachers
have • contributed their work.
On Tuesday the Students' Coun-
cil
ounell decided that instead of having
pupils give other pupils gifts for
Christmas, tthey would take a col-
lection of not less than 25c from
every pupil in the' school and then
donate all the money to the Com-
munity Centre.
If the' high school students get
behind, how about the other peo-
ple? It's not too late to send 'in
contributions for this worthy
cause, so why not do it? e
Well, the bugle band has -taken
another rest This time it is until
after Christmas, when Mr. Close
will put the new crooks in use. Mr.
Close has done a great job in teach-
ing the students\ how to play the
instruments, and I know everyone
appreciates it, and also the fact
that he is contributing these crooks ,
to the band;
In the realm of sports at S.H.S.,
basketball is. now the highlight.
Practice finally got under way on
Wednesday when the seniors took
the gymnasium. With more prac-
tice before the first of the year,
there should be some very good
teams at the high school. Perhaps
during the Christmas holidays
there can be a complete turnout
for a lew practices which. will
greatly increase the' power of the
teams.
It seems that a Fourth Former
ha.s developed a new idea. Instead'
of giving a hot -foot he has started
to give hot -seats. It was in a sci-
ence class that this boy happened
to drop soine phosphorus on a seat
(purely accidental) of a girl. It
seems the phosphorite ignited, but
luckily the girl wasn't on the chair.
Maybe he doesn't like her, but
then. he doesn't have to try to burn
her to death.
Questions of the Week
What Third Former seems not to
want to pass in Latin?
This is a question that was giv-
en to me by a Third. Former (most
of you won't understand, but he
has 'requested it often) : "Have you
joined the P..W.A.?"
Public School
News
We held a special assembly on
Friday afternoon for the student
teachers who have been here dur-
ing the week. Grade 3 sponsored
the program. One of the student
teachers warned us 'that when he
gets mad he takes off his glasses
and turns red. This happened!
several times,

' Last Tuesday and Wednesday
each pupil had his picture taken.
The result's, when returned at the
beginning 'of the week-, were ap-
palling. Some of the boys and
girls were so disgusted with their
pictures that they would not show
them to anyone.

Athletic meeting h'ridl y night at
the attendance . we' counted
again .. , you guessed` it three
fingers on one hand would have
almost been sufficient.
There were about .`as many of
the executive on hand too. Wily
these failures on the part of sport
fans and , players alike at called
meetings, is hard to understtandt,
especially when we are supposed.
to have so many fine sports in this
town.
As a rule we try not to beef in
this. column, but try to • promtote
good clean sport for Seaforth and
district. However, Whisperings be-
lieves a BEEF is justified at' this
time. It es common kliowledge that
some fans and players, no matter
what part of the country they are
in, are not satisfied, no matter
what way things go. They talk to
this one ... to that one ... among
themselves, on '.street corners, etc.
. . . but time comes when a meet-
ing is held, the place for BE1 5 S
to be aired, and what 'have you?
Yes, those putting up the biggest
BEEF never show up.
This situation is most unfair,
not Duly to fans, the executive,
the players, but to you yourself.
If anyone has a matter to get off
their chest, they certainly won't
be doing any good by running in-
to some corner or whispering in
groups . . . the place to do your
talking is at a meeting that ie call-
ed for that purpose. Air your
grievances to the proper people
to those Who could do some-
thing about it,' and not to those
who have no say in this regard.
Whisperings wonders when these
SUPPOSED SPORTS are goir;g to
wake up and come down to earth,
realizing that they are doing more
harm to themselves than to any-
one else.
So, we say, let all interested in
sport attend the next meeting, in
fact eny sport meeting, aild have
a friendly discussion.
Be sports, as. you claim to .be
don't let yourself down. To
players aoce sport fans alike, we
say: Put sportsmanship back into
sport, a return to keen, friendly
rivalry and an end to animosities
. , there is no room in small
towns for factions . . all must
pull together ... or both will fail.
As to the executive, it is their
duty to attend these meetings. It
is up to you to show the way .
set a good example to all inter-
ested in 'sport. It is• hoped• that
when the general meeting is tail-
ed in the spring, all the executive.
at least,- will be on hand.. The ac-
count of the Friday meeting will
be found on page one.
Angus MacLean, on behalf of the
Legion, has requested us to bring
to your attention, and ask that all
available hockey equipment that is
out and the' property of the Ath-
letic Association, be turned' in at
Sills' Hardware Store. Please let
everyone co-operate in this matter.
Did you know that gate receipts
for the past season of the On-
tario Amateur Softball Association
amounted to $11,000? That some
30.935 players were registered,
with 1,936 teams?
Did you know that at the O.H.A.
meeting a new ruling was put in-
to effect? The ruling: It' a. referee
calls a game after two periods of
play, it will constitute a full game
for the records. If itis called off
before the end of the second per-
iod it will be declared "no con-
test" end spectators will' be given
free admission to the next schedul-
ed game. There were other chang-
es, but lack of space does not per-
mit us to include them here.
Remember, good sportsmanship
wins many friends - . . 'rowdyism
creates disfavor . . . the will to
play fair leads to one goal:

The followingis a conversation
between a lady and a little kinder-
garten boy:
Boy: "Do you know who is the
oldest teacher in the whole wide
world?"
Lady: "No! Who is the oldest
teacher in the whole world?"
Boy: "Miss McLean is the old-
est teacher."
Lady: "Who c10 you think is the
second oldest?"
Boy: "Mr. Eastman."
Lady: "And who do you think
1s the third oldest?"
Roy: "I think Mrs. Ellis is the
third oldest teacher."
. I suppose to younger minds, the
more beautiful you appear the old-
er you seem!

combats fatigu'e which leads to
peer quality work, accidtents and
love resistance to disease. Your
