As it is, all we can do is cast a .sidelong glance out the window and imagine what we would be doing if it were the summer holidays- -which, by the way, aren't too far alistaalt. Someone has the days counted, approximately '30 school days left before those fatal June exams. * * * Baseball is well underway over the noon hours especially, when a few (a few, mind you) overly am- bitious Souls apparently have en- ergy to 'burn in ehasing a ball all over creation. The majority, bow. ever, are tretched out ,beneath the shade of a tall tree with its rapidly developing foliage. Some are gos- siping, and others in the company of a certain fair damsel not so talkative, all seem to be of one in- tention — "save your strength till tenth period."

Men's "A', softball is definitely out, but Branch 156 of the 'Cana- dian Legion are planning a team in the Zone League. Five teams are entered, from 'Blyth, Goderich, Clin- ton, Exeter and the local branela Clinton Radar and Centralia R.C. A.F..have been invited into this league also. A meeting will 'be held in Seaforth May '8 to draw up the sehedule. * * An Industrial' League must be brewing! We heard that the Main Streeters are trying their hand at softball. They were to hold a prac- tice Tuesday night. ships each year to go to Seaforth students! * * * Many topics of discussion arise in periods which a glance at the timetable make you wonder at the connection. Since all assemblies have been disanissed, the first part of the Geometry class was used to settle the graduation question. The date, unless some unforeseen ob- stacle arises, has been set for June 23. Another example of this is the similarity of Zoology ands Marriage. Now you may wonder at such a statement, but those students con- cerned received a very enlightening and interesting talk on marriage, which arose from the question of what is meant by impulse. If this is getting too deep for you, why not ask one of the Upper School students to explain. • * * Don't forget Open House Friday, May 2, at 8:50. * * * Questions of the Week? 1.

Both meetings will get' Ithderway at 8 o'clock in Winghant Town Hall. 0.A.S.A, adopted a few rules at their recent annual meet. All play- ers on a team may now wear gloves,. This was passed so as to allow older members a couple of more years on the field, according to the W.O.A.A, business manager, "Tory" Gregg. Spikes or cleats may be worn on baseball shoes or running shoes. Pitcher of a team will be allow- ed to wear a uniform conforming with the rest of the team, ea, long as it isn't either cream or white. In the minor leagues, a smaller ,ball will be used. * * School for softball umpires was discussed. Tory stated that the W.O.A.A. would bring up Maxie Seheff, top ump, to a school and it would be held at night under the lights and on a night suitable to the majority. • How meny would attend the school? This is a hard question to answer, but the general feeling was that each team 'should send two fellows to the school. Would they all come? A re- ferees' school was held this past season and everybody but the fel- lows that should have been there —the referees came. Frank Udvari, who this year advanced to the N.H.L., 'was present, but had few to look after, "Sadie" Widmeyer, an umpire from up north, and also the main BABY CHICKS!
