In a flash the doors and windows are thrown open, horâ€" mones are inhaled, and we return refreshed to the anatomy of the root. . . . Doug.

Even Mr. Ferguson seems to find Botany a stuffy lu'bjec&, for often when deeply delved in the cortical parenchg'ml of some old root, he will suddenly bellow, "Air, a few days later when I heard over the raido that the music critic of Variety states that the "Sling and Slay" orchestras such as the Dorsey boys, (I nearly said Dalâ€" ton Boys), that fellow with the trumpet whose name escapes me at the moment and the rest of the tripe â€" beg pardon, tribe â€" are playing to empty dance floors while my good friend Guy Lomâ€" ‘bardo has the "Sorry, sold out toâ€" night" sign up every evening. Perhaps my good friend will see the light of day and recognize good music when he hears it. A Lover of the Sweetest Music on Earth.

The Boomerangl PHONE 1000 "Christmas comes but once a year, but when it comes it brings good cheer" as well as the everâ€" present problem of gifts, gifts and more gifts. If you have all your shopping planned or finished you might as well stop reading ‘cause your worries are over (you lucky people, you) but the rest of you could lend a listen. _ If your friends ski, worrf' no more ‘cause there are loads ‘n loads of skiâ€"wise gifts that add little tricks to your ski costume making it extra !uhionnting as well as extra skiable. How‘s this for a list? Ski belts of lush fur with handy little pouches for change, ski wax‘n what have you; glareâ€" cutting goggles, cosy mitts of every shade and design imaginable; huge wool kerchiefs, stocking caps, warm monk‘s hoods, ear muffs (nix on the metalâ€"banded onesâ€" they don‘t exactly tickle when you land, you know how); multiâ€" coloured sashes, handâ€"knit socks or sweaters (if you‘re energetic) or afterâ€"ski socks which are useful and warm anfv ‘ole time. On the more practical side, how about a book on skiing, or maybe a memâ€" bership to the Toronto Ski Club! I better stop before my imaginaâ€" tion runs away completely after that last one. The question of what to g’q/_e the guy of the moment is a stickler, to put it mildly. If it isn‘t a "steady" setâ€"up a gift isn‘t a "must." If you do give him something, keep it impersonalâ€"records, sheet music and books are good old standâ€"bys. School pins, rings or identification bracelets are in order for the "steady." Rumors are flying that diamond socks or handâ€"knit sweatâ€" ers are guaranteed to rate with the boys. Still haven‘t any ideas? Why not try & subscription to some of the teen magazines such as Sevenâ€" teen? There‘s a gift that lasts all year and is very reasonablé. If you‘re thinking of giving cosmetics, be sure to investigate her likes and dislikes before buying. How about a silver clip with the school crest or her initials on it? What girl wouldn‘t like a couple of charms to add to her bracelet? "The Santa Claus that brings bangles, "bunny" mitts or personal stationery is sure ‘to_glease.. 2s o If {ou haven‘t had some inspiraâ€" tion by now, we give up. Purses, angora witts, knitting bags, huge fluffy powder puffs, perfume, nylons, photograph albums, and makeâ€"up kits are the last of our suggestions. Pardon our beaming faces, folks, but thinis were running in such a smoâ€"0â€"oth way, Friday evening, November 29, that it just can‘t be helped. Bill Downing and his orch‘ were pretty super as they spilled such raters as "Old _ Buttermilk Skies," "Rumours are Flying," and "Alice Blue Gown." June Shakeâ€" speare, Jimmy McQueen, Shirley McCagherty, and Ralph Ball found themselves as spots in the spot dance. Later, they had problems on their minds (problems to me too) which tumetP out to be four beeâ€"ootiful hat 177 creations. The four happy _ peoples tripped down to Mike‘s Bowling Alleys to sée which couple were the keenest bowlers, Hli)gh-finalista were Shirâ€" ley McCafherty Snyder and Ralph Ball. Shirley and Ralph were given two of those almost priceless rugby tickets. Jimmy Moffatt made a hard decision Friday, He really used his noggin, or shall I say, eyes. Anyway, after Marilyn Hill, Mary Long, Dorothy Fairfield and Jim Terrell (What! no nylons, Jim?) faced the audience behind a curâ€" tain with only their ankles showâ€" ing, Jim was asked to ray which one was his partnerâ€"and he did! Jim and Marilyn will, T believe, be escorted to the local theatre, Wednesday evening. There‘ll be a taxi, a carpet, and buglesâ€" whether permitting â€" of _ course (whether or not Marilyn can make it), so be on hand to see the lucky couple. Event of the month: It‘s coming December 20, our Christmas dance. Incidenhlly‘, it‘s to be something specialâ€"we‘ll be having a wonderâ€" ful time with everyone, but then, we always do, because it‘s Teenâ€" ager‘s. . â€" Noticing _ that _ fulyâ€"fashioned stockings were sale in a large city store, a dignified, middleâ€"aged man decided to get his wife a pair, but he soon found himself buffeted about by frantic women. "c:ii'i‘yii{{ act like a ’{ériiie"m’.r; 1" ‘ve been mcting like a gentleâ€" man ?" He stood it ag long as he could. then, with head lowered and arms outstretched, he barged through the crowd. "I‘ve been acting like a gentleâ€" man for a hour," replied the man, still chlrnc forward, "but from now 6M I‘m going to mct like a As He Saw It A bronze plaque in memory o Franklin D.,’Roonnlg was r:ed‘; eated at McGregor Bay on the north shore of Lake Hnr!m. where Chic Chatter TWENTEEN HIGHLIGHTS Bye for now "You there," {ollad a shrill voice an‘t you act like a gentleman? VI GALLAGHER Jean Newsome By of It‘s all over but the cheers of the successful and the wails of the alsoâ€"rans! Yes. Exams are & thing of the pastâ€"until next term. Then you start all over again. â€" Exams are a nightâ€"mare, aren‘t they? They make you work hard and, what‘s worse, they make you think hard. Believe me, there‘s no easy road to acquiring an educaâ€" tion, It‘s tough to have to pour over your texts for hours on end, but you do get a bit of gatisfaction out of being able to write down the correct answers to the right questions, It‘s a grand feeling to get an answer paper back with a "75" on it. Besides, it makes things pleasanter at home. _ _ _ _ _ It‘s bad, though, to be faced with questions that are as familiar to you as jive to Mozart. It‘s worse, too, to {earn that those Testions were studied in class when you were absent. Of course, you planned to study those lessons you missed all by yourself. Tonight, in fact. Then something happened. Somebody important was on at the local flicker so you went to the show instead; or, your second cousin was in town and you had to entertain herâ€"one look at her and you tried all your card tricks! nyway, work was postponed until "Tomorrow and tomorrow and toâ€" morrow." Yes, that‘s Shakespeare. He must have had a second cousin, too. But cousins didn‘t help you much when the marks were read out, and when you took your report card homeâ€"Brother, pass the ?im'- ment! You had quite a time convincing your parents to let you start your Christmas holidays early, didn‘t you?. â€" "Ab. %‘ee Ma. There‘s only eleven more school days till the holidays begin and I‘ve just got to get a job to get my second cousin a Christmas present and, besides, they never teach anything at school between exams am'r holidalys.” Now, just a minute. If you‘d stayed at home and studied in the first place you wouldn‘t have to get her a present in the second place; in the third place you made a mistake in grammar in that heart-rending plea for licensed truancy; and in the fourth r?lace that last sentence of your‘s is bumkul:n., and not so pure, either. Teaching goes on like Tennyâ€" son‘s "Brook." The school‘s curriâ€" culum is full, the courses are heavy, the time is short. Your job is to be at school. If you shirk the responsibilities of your present job, don‘t think you can get out of that habit when you leave school and %o out into the cold, eruel world. his is an age of specialization. If your specia]tfi is going to be absenteeism, that‘s fine. But if you expect to get a job when you‘re through with school, a imduation diploma will come in handy. If you expect to go on to institutions of higher learning, some lower and medium learning are usually necesâ€" sary first, Sooe â€" So stay on the job and stay out of the Christmas rush. Besides, ou might get squeezed to death. ')Iy'hen you won‘t graduate anyway. The exams last week certainly Fut a damper on all extraâ€"curricuâ€" ar activities except homework. No orchestra, no classes, no interform rugby â€" just exams. _ Anyway they‘re over, and the past shall be held against no man. The interâ€"form finals have still to be played and nothing else in the sporting world at WCVS has advanced since last week. Howâ€" ever it might be said that there will be no boys interâ€"school basketâ€" ball for Weston this winter. Mr. Thompson has doubted the possiâ€" bilities of such a programme all fall, since our gymnasium presents certain difficulties as it stands, either at the windowboxes along the east s‘de of the stage, at the south on both have made visiting coaches hesitate to play their teams on our floor. Evidently senior boys aren‘t in the habit of playing slow, gentle basketball and when they do go at it in spirited competition, these obstacles would cause some boys to go home with stitches in their heads. However the future looks very bright from Mr. Scott‘s point of view because he predict« a new gymnasium esâ€" pecially â€" designed to eliminate these and other drawbacks. Perâ€" haps if we flunk a few more years we will witness these strange and marveilous things. _ _ _ As you know, the school ha« purâ€" chased a new gridiron to the east (just meross the street too) and beâ€" fore very long the rugby battles will be fought and decided there. Just what is to become of our preâ€" sent day field will then be the question. Whatever is done thouJ: we feel sure it will be for better because Weston always goes forward and never backward. (So they say anyway). ‘‘The maid is reading our mail, dear," said the wife. s3 â€" â€" "How do g:' know honey ?" asked the husband. "Because," replied the woman of the house, "she went and baked a Mflhd.! cake right after the mailman ght you a greeting eard from Aunt Alice." Sport Slants The Adviser â€"Advisesâ€" By NEIL MeDONALD TIMES AND GUIDE, WESTON On Monday, January 6, Ad Lib Magazine will present a jazz conâ€" cert at the Eaton Auditorium. This is the first gul concert .Jgut on for the public by all Canadian musiâ€" cians. Mnay people underestimate the talent and ability of our Canaâ€" dian ‘ musicians but believe me, thefi vaouure up very favourably with their American counterparts. Down there the music boys have more class but underneath a musiâ€" cian is a musician no matter where he is. Take for example Georgie Culd. He left Canada and took a job with Bunn Beri$an and then with Artie "Manville" Shaw. Now he has his own band and is making quite a name for himself. Then there‘s Glen Gray, who used to play at the Casa Loma and is now holding a good place among the name bands in the States. And Guy Lombardo dragged his family over the line and has been playing at the Hotel Roosevelt for many a year, It looks as if Stan Kenton is a sure bet for the No. 1 band of the year and Mr. Herman will have to resign his throne. Mr. Kenâ€" ton‘s star sidemen, Musso on tenor and Sanfransky on bass, also stand a good chance of taking the honours for their respective inâ€" struments. Listen to any Kenton record and you will notice the clear cut each section seems to be. It sounds as if each section is in a different recording room. Well‘ I have to put my two cents worth in about the musical comedy in the real sense of the word. This means that a play must be written around all the individuals so as to bring out their musical talent in natural manner so as to blend in with the whole plot. But this isn‘t as hard as it appears. Any person is able to write a story and with the help of some of the teachers, this writâ€" ing a play, based on given charâ€" acters (and we use the word characters loosely) it may not be too difficult to accomplish. Watch the Sam Donahue band. Right now it is not up on top, but if Sam hadn‘t been called into the navy it would. The current crowd of cats will soon be following the Donahue band. One of his best is ‘"Disorders at the Boarder." The Dorsey band will be quite passive for a while now, but I don‘t think permanently. As soon as he gets straightened out with his books and agents etc., and all the boys have a good holiday he probably will take up just where he left off.

Oh, you lucky people! Just between you and me and the uu-;o-t though, the "social events" of last week were such that the less said the better. For the sake of the uninâ€" formed, the stoodents wrote their Christmas exams last week, The little monsters! Put down your pea shooters, we meant the exams! (That‘s what we thought you meant!) _ Anyway what the pen };usheu have been doing between and 2 at nifhu, not to mention the daytime, for the week of the 25th shouldn‘t have happened to a dawg. We pause now to remark that this does not include such inâ€" dividuals that didn‘t study at all; their suffering comes later! Then there are the few who studied for the wrong exam.

But it‘s all over now, and before you let off too much steam allow us to disillusion you:> there are bi{%er and better exams at Easter! hat was the result of all this mental wear and tear? Among other things everybody let down their hair last weekâ€"end and genâ€" erally came out of hibernation. No news of any private gatherings reached our ears, but we know of several folks who drifted to Casa Loma and others got as far as Teenâ€"Agers. However, after last week, taking the dog for a walk was a sensation. Now with the cold weather we should Rave some skiing and tobogganinfi parties in the news. Class sleigh rides seem to be the order of the day, too. All we need now is the snow. (In case we are now ploughing through six foot drifts, kindly remember that this column was written Saturday). Maybe a little ice would be in keepâ€" ing too; must speak to the weather man. Rumours are flying about the Hi Holiday Hop, an annual event at the Royal York on the 26th of this month, semiâ€"formal no less. It should make someone a nice Christmas present, ... _ _ Well, next week somebody might do something (»,xcitingh like climbâ€" ing the flagpole of the school or swimming in the Humber.
