are indoors, captain ball is the popular sport. The two classes always play two games. In the first one the sevenths were badly beaten, but in the second they came close to victory with a score of 3 to 2. The winter outdoor fun is on a bumpy, crooked hill back of school used for sliding. Down it goes a continuous stream of sleds, toboggans, and skis. Sometimes an overloaded sled drops a passenger on the way, and sometimes a load lands upside down in a drift, but it's all part of the fun. PARTIES At the beginning of school the seventh form were guests of the eighth form at the opening League party. We danced a great deal, and we laughed at the Wild West show and the autoride of by-gone days. Then we climbed to the top floor for refreshments and more laughing. On the eleventh of February to return the courtesy, we invited the eighths to a valentine party. After decorating our guests with gay caps, we danced for a while. The event of the day, however, was the valentine boxes. There were three fat ones stuffed with valentines for us all. By the time we had exclaimed over them, we were ready to have refreshments.

The duke, who was from France, showed us pictures of beautiful old French buildings, which he is trying to keep from being destroyed. Early in March our own class took part in a chapel program by demonstrating some lessons in musical appreciation. * * * * * Piping merrily _William_ the _Piper_ floated down the meadow _Brooks_ seated at the _Helm_ of his boat. Being a _New-man_ in this country he stopped to ask his way of a _Miller_. The miller directed him across the _Lee_ to a little town called _Goldsborough_. There he stopped at the inn of the _Van Nest_. After a good sleep, a shave with his _Gillette_, and a hearty meal of _Thomson's_ baked beans and _Wagner's_ canned _Pease_, he was much refreshed. The next morning he continued his wanderings, but unwittingly he trespassed on the land of a farmer named _Hineline_, who threatened to take him to the village of _Simonton_ and throw him and his _Junk-in_ jail. Finally he made his peace, but he had to leave his boat behind. "However, I'm not so unlucky," said he, "for I have stout _Dougl
