C. •Like the dew u·pon the lilies, or the sceut ot the roses, is the impre .5sion we hope these form notes will produce.

Sir Luncelot., whose picture hangs upon the wa"ll, is our .model, and we ti·y to emulate not always with too ·great oUccess , his deeds . If our notes were longer they would ·be tet!- ious, so this is the e1id. m.A. .A happy band of seventeen arc we, and w<: are very thankful that our form is so sma ll. Our form room, which i·s large and airy, holds us easily, and is next thE· studio.

W-e 1wish to present our report. of the year's s-port. Our two representatives ac- quitted themselves nobly in basket ball, and frequently ted the goal mouth. wit·h "'t.he elu::;ive leather sphere·." The :follo-wers ot "'Suzanne" are stumbling in ·her footstep•, and they occasionally sh~w sparks of ~er genius. As we ·have no finan·cial report, aucl therefore -cannot present one, we declare the meeting closed.
