(Continued from page One)
The Prophet's address, which had
been prepared by Mary Dobie, was
read by Kenneth Lott. As in former
years it was excellent and showed
careful preparation. In another col-
unnl of this paper the prophecy will
be found.
There was another folk dance, fol-
lowed by a number from the boys of
the Glee Club, also a selection from
the school orchestra.
The first group of folk dances con-
sieted of an English Morris Dance,.
Sigs of Marlowe and two English
country dances, Newcastle, an old
square, and the Ribbon dance. Mor-
ris dancing is done by men only and
for exhibition. Country dances are
social in character, hence the pres-
ence of the ladies.
The second group of dances was
designed to show the difference in
temperament between English and
'European peoples, as evinced in their
national dances. This group corn-
'prised,

ian dance, which is done by men on-

there was a shriek from the other

had made a fortune selling refrigera-

the guests had all risen, and were
hurrying out into the street. At the
corner of Josephine and John was,a
scaffold bright with light. The pris-
oners were already there on the plat-
form, their chains clanking loudly
when they moved. There were Miss
McDonald, Miss Hammond, Mr.
Collins was there too and Mr. Brack-
enbury. All the people jostled one
another, and shouted at the unfortu-
nate victims in an ecstasy of satisfac-
tion,
"i\Iiss McDonald," said Jim Weir„
the judge, "you are sentenced to the
snows of Siberia with hard labour for
life. You merit this punishment, on
the ground that you gave Third form

The hammer fell, but Miss Mc-
Donald remained standing there, her
head bowed in shame. With this,

cheered wildly.

continued, "you and Miss Carson
shall be shot at dawn by a corps con-
sisting of forms IV. and V." Miss
Hammond began to sulk and pre-

began to cry bitterly, but suddenly
stopped.
