WHEN CHRISTMAS COMES
"On our way rejoicing
As we homeward move, Harken to our prayer,
0 thou God of Love."-Hymn.
After ha,·ing completed three and a half months of school work, the boys of V. E. S. move homeward tomorrow. Some students have tried hard to do their work well and have succeeded; others have idled away their time. But taking the medium between those classes, one can see that the first part of the school year has been put to a most profitable use by the Rector, the faculty, and the boys, with the results that all the old things are functioning smoothly and many valuable innovations have been put in.
In short, we are making progress all of the time. Now comes a well- earned fortnight of rest and husbanding of strength for the work that is yet to be done.
When we arrive at home, there are still some little things that we should do for V. E. S. besides showing our parents the good which this school has done for us. And these things may be done so naturally and

could be improved g·reatly, if they receitved more supp01·t from the boys, and if the boys wit o do at- tend, would break more often."
Wm·burton: "By offerilng some special ilnducement to the boys who usually do not attend."
Williams: "I think they'1·e fine as they m·e; the only thing is to make the couples sp1·ead out more

Christmas holidays, we are certain to meet gentlemen, who would like V. E. S., and whom this school would like, too. This year the school has need of them. It's a pity that there are so many empty bunks around here at present. It would be easy to tell our friends good things of V. E. S., for we, ourselves are so proud of the place. If some of us would bear this suggestion in mind when we reach home, the school would be benefited. At least, it is worth trying, for it would be, so to speak, giving the finest kind of a Christmas present to V. E. S.
SEVENTEEN DAYS AFTER
When the stulents return to V. E. S. after a long Christmas vacation, one may notice a rather different attitude on the part of the first year men. After serving the hardest part of their apprentice hip-which is not really very bard-they are entitled to greet old boys on practically equal terms, the prevailing sentiment being that it is fine to see all the boys again and to swap experiences of the holidays with each other. Now there is certainly no harni in thi~. However, there is another thing which is not so good. That is the lack of the tendency to huckle down to hard work once more in preparation for the midyear examinations, which will then be les tlian three weeks away.
Now a word or two about these aforementioned examinations: they count one-thir 1 of the term's grade, and are therefore, considered rather important, particularly by those boys who are figuratively on the fence. Even those who have high averages must get at least a mark of 60 per cent to
pass. That means that you must work hard just before the exams in order to acquire the final "punch" that will end you through with flying colors.
