The C. C. I. students were surpris-

man, 'last Thursday night. We had
observed that; a dangerous -looking
Oriental was presiding at the "B;l_.
go" booth; but we,had not recognized
him, until someone observed that the
Bingo boards were arranged in . a
geometric design—a11 squares arid
right angles like a chequer -board, (Is
it checker or chequer?—just one of
those words like racket and racquet. --.-
you feel that you're wrong no matter
how you spell it.)
"This is a sort of geometric ar-
rangement isn't it," someone said.
"Mr. Fines would be in his glory
here—,"
And so he was — complete with
pig -tail, pyjamas and dark -glasses.
Strange, but true.
We have noticed' that First Form-
ers are rather like birds, don't you
Mink so? They're ;given to making
peculiar noises—you know—tlie chic-
kadee says "chickadee" and the owl
says "wh000" or something•, and by
the same token Ken Cooke shoats
"Givens" or "Gus" at intervals for
110 apparent reason, and when he'sees
Dorothy holland he acts differently --
crying "Hack! .hack!" Rather like
a duck.
Bob Draper has his peculiar cry,
too.. He makes remarks like "Goalie;
Gordie!": when he happens to see
Cora Streets or, Sybil Mackenzie.
Queer habits these First -Formers
have, don't you think?
We are pleased to hear that Jcan
Cornish is "getting' along fine" She
will miss the exams, though, her Bis=
ter assures us glumly. The poor
kid! 1
And while we are on the subject
of casualties—Tor Cooke --- an ex -
student of our Collegiate—received al
rather severe blow oil the head last
Thursday night.' We sincerely ]tope
that he will not soon recover. (By the
way, he is, one of the people who read
this column to "see how many mis-
takes she makes this :week.") Oh
pray that God would bless Father
Phelan's ministry.
After the Mass four young men,
namely: Messrs. William Kelly, Jr.,
William Hoffron, Jr„ Simon Halla-
Ihan, and Earl Healy, approached
the altar railnig andasked for tete
attention of Father Phelan. bar.
Hoffron read a very appropriate ad-
dress congratulating Father Phelan
and extending the good wishes of his
' friends and presented him with a
purse, the gfit of the parishes or
Clinton and Blyth. They said that
henceforth the world would know hire
as Father Phelan, the word father
taken in its true and literal sense,
namely, teacher and spiritual father.
They then asked Father Phelan for
his blessing,
Father Phelan nnacle a short reply,
thanking them and etencling his
good wishes to everyone who had
helped him to become a priest and
said that it was not due to any per
sonal efforts but entirely tothe grace
of God for which be wished to thank
God. Then the people approached the
altar and Father 'Phelan gave them
his priestly blessing during which
Father Sullivan .sang "Just for :To,
clay. ".
The music for the Mass was fur
nishesi by the combined choirs of
Clinton and Blyth churches. The or-
gainist was 'Mrs. W. Lave of Clinton,.
sister of the newly ordained.
After leaving the church; Father
Louis J. Phelan and Father W. J.
Phelan and Mr. Thos. Phelan of 'Sagi-
naw, Minh., Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Lane
and the ministers .of the Mass and
Sisters front the Sacred Heart Con.
'Vent, proceeded to the home of bin.'
and Mrs. James Phelan, where Mee.
Mary Phelan, the greatest treasure
of the Phelan family, also lives, here
a beautiful dinner in honer• of the
newly ordained was served. During
the dinner Rev. M. Sullivan, Rev. B,-
Gaffney, and Rev,' Papuette spoke a
few words of congratulations to the
Phelan family. In reply Rev. W. J.
?Minh gave' a short speech of appre-
ciation. to al'1 those who helped in any
Way, then Rev. L. J. Phelan seconded
the words of his brother and also ex-
tended his thanks to everyone.
Manny thanks ar•e extended to
Charles: Nicholson; and Mrs. John
Gresby, who helped so faithfully and
ably with the dinner, also to the three
charming young waitresses, Misses
Margaret Heffron, 'Marie pettier and
Mary Phelan.

man, 'last Thursday night. We had
observed that; a dangerous -looking
Oriental was presiding at the "B;l_.
go" booth; but we,had not recognized
him, until someone observed that the
Bingo boards were arranged in . a
geometric design—a11 squares arid
right angles like a chequer -board, (Is
it checker or chequer?—just one of
those words like racket and racquet. --.-
you feel that you're wrong no matter
how you spell it.)
"This is a sort of geometric ar-
rangement isn't it," someone said.
"Mr. Fines would be in his glory
here—,"
And so he was — complete with
pig -tail, pyjamas and dark -glasses.
Strange, but true.
We have noticed' that First Form-
ers are rather like birds, don't you
Mink so? They're ;given to making
peculiar noises—you know—tlie chic-
kadee says "chickadee" and the owl
says "wh000" or something•, and by
the same token Ken Cooke shoats
"Givens" or "Gus" at intervals for
110 apparent reason, and when he'sees
Dorothy holland he acts differently --
crying "Hack! .hack!" Rather like
a duck.
Bob Draper has his peculiar cry,
too.. He makes remarks like "Goalie;
Gordie!": when he happens to see
Cora Streets or, Sybil Mackenzie.
Queer habits these First -Formers
have, don't you think?
We are pleased to hear that Jcan
Cornish is "getting' along fine" She
will miss the exams, though, her Bis=

kid! 1
And while we are on the subject
of casualties—Tor Cooke --- an ex -
student of our Collegiate—received al
rather severe blow oil the head last
Thursday night.' We sincerely ]tope
that he will not soon recover. (By the
way, he is, one of the people who read
this column to "see how many mis-
takes she makes this :week.") Oh
pray that God would bless Father
Phelan's ministry.

Hoffron read a very appropriate ad-
dress congratulating Father Phelan
and extending the good wishes of his
' friends and presented him with a
purse, the gfit of the parishes or
Clinton and Blyth. They said that
henceforth the world would know hire
as Father Phelan, the word father
taken in its true and literal sense,
namely, teacher and spiritual father.
They then asked Father Phelan for
his blessing,
Father Phelan nnacle a short reply,
thanking them and etencling his
good wishes to everyone who had
helped him to become a priest and
said that it was not due to any per
sonal efforts but entirely tothe grace
of God for which be wished to thank
God. Then the people approached the
altar and Father 'Phelan gave them
his priestly blessing during which
Father Sullivan .sang "Just for :To,
clay. ".
The music for the Mass was fur
nishesi by the combined choirs of
Clinton and Blyth churches. The or-
gainist was 'Mrs. W. Lave of Clinton,.

few words of congratulations to the
Phelan family. In reply Rev. W. J.

ciation. to al'1 those who helped in any

the words of his brother and also ex-
tended his thanks to everyone.
