The students are quite curious regarding the discussion held about them and parents have been subjected to a minor "Third Degree." This year pupils encourâ€" aged parents to come, since the apâ€" prebension held by them last year disappeared when they understood that it was for their own good, and not just held so that mothers could discover their failings.

Our days are numbered! The fall term is raidly drawing to a close. Noalhucomumufikontn,i- cal storm and we are all caught in the maelstrom of the Yuletide. This sensation is rmbnbly due to the late beginning of school caused by the "polic" epidemic. This unfortunate epidemic also wrought many other changes in school activities, such as the disappearance of the Literary Society, the absence of a regular interâ€"form rugby schedule, osuthc change from term examinations to period tests. After Christmas we expect normal school activities to be resumed.

Already two expeâ€" | ditions, which were highly enjoyable from the participants‘ standpoint, | have been madeâ€"one to hear a lecâ€" | ture on Babylonâ€"another, a fascinâ€" {ating lecture on Greek life which | was more interesting to the majorâ€" | ity, partly because it dealt with that |part of the course already covered in the fall, and partly because the lecturer had firstâ€"hand knowledge of his subject since he belonged to the:archaeological expedition which is now excavating and restoring anâ€" cient Greek cities. | _ Miss Gray requested a first form ; party for the benefit of those missâ€" |ing the Rugby Banquet, and under ‘her supervision the older pupils | organized a program which was carâ€" ried out on December 17th. Games were played with these girls as inâ€" structors and carols were sung, |after which very welcome refreshâ€" ‘ments were served. Miss Gray deâ€" serves a vote of thanks for her thoughtfuiness.

They know no better greeting than that of Tiny Tim: "Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas! God bless us, every one!" it also helps the Yuletide spirit along. The school is wondering whether there will be a dance after classes on the last day of school. In past years the Literary Society took care of this, but as that Society is dorâ€" mant this year there is a possibility of there being no dance. It seems to us that this "tea" dance at the end of the fall semester should be made an annual affair as it is not only profitable to the Cafeteria but At a meeting on December 13th Miss Wattie organized a Dramatic Club. Already they have started plans for rebearsals and parts have been assigned for a light play called "Thirty Minutes in a Street." The property man, a woman in this case, is on the lookout for a mail box and her ingenuity is somewhat taxed to produce one in other ways than "hooking" one off a street corner. A combined meeting of the execuâ€"| tive of the Girls‘ and Boys‘ Athletic | Association a n d representatives from Third, Fourth and Fifth forms | was held on Dec. 17th to discuss the | social activity for the winter. It] was decided to hold the annual!| school dance on Feb. l1ith from 9| p.m. to 1 a.m. The raising of the admission charge is under discusâ€" | sion. Don Grosskurth was appointed to hire an orchestra. Mary Barker| to look after decorations, and Grace | Cameron and Margaret Neale with | Miss Rogers to look after the reâ€"| freshments. It is quite probable that First and Second form students will be barred from attending. called for from the upper forms, approximately fifty responded. Part of the attraction however is the informal dance afterwards with Mack Hayes at the piano. A hint to the Boys‘ Athletic Association would be to have more of these inâ€" formal dances and chr? ten cents admission. The Athletic Fund would swell much more rapidly after that.

Mrs. | Caldwell, who is the mother of five daughters, has seen one daughter, Mrs. (Dr.) Gordon Agnew â€" of Chingtu, China, give her life to the cause of Christian Missions in the | Orient, and another daughter spend | |two years in the same service, and | a third enlist also under the same | { banner, only to be called to higher | {service just before her graduation in _ medicine. The au%iebce wasf 'spellbound as she took them on “An| Imaginary Trip to China," retailâ€" | {ing to them the experiences of Dr.| {and Mrs. Agnew when they first| ’weut to China in 1923 and some of | | the experiences of the second ‘ |daughter who gave up a position | as a teacher in Ontario to serve in the same capacity in Chingtu and who went out in 1925. One could scarcely imagine the terrible! plague of disease, vermin, rodents that these cultured young women had to contend with. Mrs. Caldwell | made a stirring appeal that the 1 missionary children be especially | remembered in prayer in these days when their nerves are being . so ‘ ravaged by war.

In New Toronto 43 have signed up for this new zone service, he said Mr. Robinson, local Bell Teleâ€" phone manager, when interview on the change in rates, explain that three services were available| to phone users in the Toronto subâ€" | urban area, first, local service,| second, suburban zone service, -nd’ third, foreign exchange service. ‘Originally a mistake was made in our foreign exchange mileage limits, which in the case of Weston, was set at the southerly bqundary of the ; town instead of from exchange to | exchange. Until we could offer| some service which would afford reasonable access to foreign exâ€"! changes, we hesitated to take any | action, which would inconvenience| the public. After five years of study | we believe we have hit on someâ€"| thing which will meet the situation. | By this plan, zone service, a busiâ€"| ness house is allowed 60 Toronto‘ calls per month and a private citiâ€" zen 45 calls, retaining & local ex-i change identity. i In some cases this change will mean an increase of 90 per cent we are told. Council members interâ€" viewed regarding the change in rates are incensed over the idea. We will fight this move to the end, and if necessary launch a campaign to have Weston included in the Toâ€" ronto phone area" said Mayor Evans. "Council plan calling a pubâ€" lic meeting of those citizens afâ€" fected by this move" stated His Worship. "The increased rate on city teleâ€" phone service is a hardship" said a local business man. "Many of our contacts are in the city, many of our customers are there, a lot of our supplies must be ordered from the city and we feel the increase very keenly."
