T>iSCDE OF 8TH "The Mystery Rider" the patient's external |, Starting tomorrow at the Regent, June Colyer in "Me Gangster" Collegiate Chatter Work of demolition has begun on the old school and the students have thus been forced to vacate, Hence the new attendance shifts have been put into operation, The student body is divided into two groups, A and B. A group comes to school at 8 am, and is dismissed at 1020 when B group begins the morning's work; B 1s dismissed at 12.20. A commences the afternoon program at 12.40 being dismissed at 3 when B returns till 5 p.m. Although this arrangement has its inconveniences it has been con- sidered after much thought, the best possible, All the twenty-four forms are conveniently looked after with regards to class rooms; the hours are divided so that A group which repre- sents the academic school, all but two 1st forms, receives eight 35 minute periods, while B group, composed of all commercial and the two remain- ing academic 1st forms, has eight 30 minute periods, Practice for the "gym" display is being seriously hindered by the new system of shifts and hours now be- ing employed. Most of the perform- ers are in the first shift which ends at 3 o'clock and since the gym is not available until 5 o'clock it is proving somewhat inconvenient for those par- ticipating. However it cannot he helped and the students will make the best of what they are allowed in order to produce as good a display as last year, The instructors each plan on hav- ing an evening rehearsal. This will put the finishing touches on the pro- gram which has already been drawn up. The tickets are now on sale and may be obtained through any stu- dent of the school, On account of the illness of Miss V. Smith the 5th form French stu- dents were unable to present their playlet until last Thursday, The play which was taken from the French classic "Madame Therése" being studied in Upper School French this year was well presented before mem- bers of the staff and students of fourth and fifth forms, The cast included the following Sth formers: Miss Pirie, Miss Sweet, and Messrs. Flint, Brash, Cragg, Wil- son, Engel, Corrin, Guiltinan and Mundy, also Patte of 2A, Last Wednesday a group of stu- dents chartered a bus and journeyed to Toronto to see the Stratford-on- Avon players present the Shake- sperian play "Julius Caesar." The play "Julius Caesar" is being studied this year by Upper School English classes and this excellent opportunity for pleasure and instruction, other than that of the class room was readily accepted. Mr. N, McLeod head of the school English department managed the trip in a superior manner, Other teachers who accompanied the stu- dents were: Miss G. Moore, Miss D, Van Luven, Mr, A. F, Brown and Mr, W. A, Glass, The officers of the O.CI, cadet corps managed a game booth at.the Ontario Regiment carnival held in the armouries last week. The corps will receive for its services about $15 representing 25 per cent of the pro- ceeds of the booth The commercial students have the laugh on the academic school gang-- while they are at peace with the world, asleep in their beds about 7 am--the latter unfortunates are dousing mselves in extra cold water ifir order to shake off the shackles of the slumber man. But everybody has their allowances and that is why the academic school can slip the commercial outfit the merry "ha! hal" when the latter group be- takes itself to the class rooms from 3-5 in the afternoon while the un- fortunates of the early morning are "free niggers."

Segrave yesterday -over his success in piloting the "Golden Ar- row," to a new world's speed re- cord of 231.36 miles per hour was one from the Prince of Wales ex- pressing pleasure that Major Se- grave had brought back the speed title to Great Britain, Yesterday afternoon the Britisher conferred with his advisors con- cerning whether he should let his record stand, if the triplex fails to better it, or try to develop the max- imum theoretical speed of 240 miles an hour credited to the Gold- en Arrow, 4 GREATER TROUT INDUSTRY PLANNED First Roading Given In Eng- lish Parliament to Bill Re- moving Ban on Closed Season Restrictions London, Mar, 13.-- First read- ing was given in the house of com- mons yesterday afternoon to the amendment to the salmon and fresh water fisheries bill of 1923, The ob- ject of the amending bill, intro- duced by Major L, Hopper (Cons, Sedgefield) is to remove migra- tory trout from closed season re- strictions, As the law stands it also prohibits the sale of frozen trout imported from Canada and New- foundland during the English close seagon, If the new bill becomes law it will provide an inexpensive but valuable addition to the national food supplies in the way of trout, ANNULMENT OF ORDER-IN.COUNCIL, Ottawa, Ont,, Mar, 13.--Carry- ing out what He intimated last week to be hig intention, although stating he did not expect much to come of it, T, L.

He first brought in a bill requiring the con- sent of parliament to the sanction of any plans under the Navigable Waters Protection Act. At present that function is exercised by the government. This bill was defeated. COLONEL B. C, WHITE DIES IN MONTREAL Montreal, Que., Mar. 13.-- Col- onel Basil C.

This Week, New Exclusive Coats Hats Sweaters Skirts Dresses Raincoats at Remarkably Attractive Prices _-- JACK GUEST WILL LEAVE FOR ENGLAND Canadian Sculler To Take Up Accountancy--Host to Joe Wright Toronto, Ont., Mar, 13.--Jack Guest, well-nown Canadian Sculler who lost to Joe Wright in the Dia- mond Sculls last year, and who row- ed with Wright in the doubles at the Amsterdam Olympic is leaving Tor- onto for England, where he is to study accountancy.

"ME, GANGSTER," AT THE REGENT THEATRE Patrons of the Regent Theatre are going to have a real treat m "Me, Gangster," which comes to- morrow for a three days showing. ""Me, Gangster," based on Charles Francis Coe's story, which ran seri- ally in the Saturday Evening Post and has been published in book form, was directed by Raoul Walsh, along progressive lines, : Believe it or not, there is not a machine gun in the entire picture story, murder is not committed, there is no enmity between law breakers and police, yet there al- ways is poignant, human drama, thrills, suspense, romance, battles of wits, battles of brawn with no scene that is not as natural as it is logical. From all of which one can gather that "'Me, Gangster," as a story of the underworld, is refreshingly dif- ferent; and it is. Don Terry, juvenile, playing the lead in his first picture, is a real artist in Walsh's hands, and June Colyer is more beautiful than ever. Anders Randolf, Carol Lombard, Joe Brown, Nigel De Brulier, Ar- thur Stone, Stella Adams and Burr McIntosh are part of the brilliant supporting cast.
