In time to come one of us niay be the hero to stand out as a. leader and "way-.shiower". to~ "lh it eet %vas, undoubtedly, the best e ver held in the history of the league both from the standpoint of the class ot competition and the management. .Iii the 'senior divisi on ail the.lkague records were broken with the excep- tion of the diving, and in the Junior divisibn two were shattered.

But this is a special table, and thé association calls itself "The Square Table Club." In its membership are represented leaders 'in the. fields of track, basketball;. football,, tennis, and (thôugh it was denied) ping pong (flot to mention a few of the ieèss well-known games). This, you see, is flot a club just for thé sake of célub- iness-oh, noll It is a club with a prime object and a moral purpose in existing. It purports to ýproject up-. on the drab, studious. atmosphere of the schéol some of the ýwarmth and comforts of home, life, and to this- end, insofar as possible, the meembers have succeeded admirably. There is (or was) on display, together with paît and pep- per shakters, a paintd vae containing sprays. of Japanese lanterus (lending warmth), while the gay talk and nierrimeflt (if flot the wine) flows f ree- ly. We happened upon the members in one of their noisy moments, and were impressed by the spirit of good fun which permeated the entire gath- ering; it was delightful.
