THE SCHOOL
Tramp, Tramp, Tramp, The Boys Are Marching
One piece of paper sails across the room, and on the following Mon-
day the culprit takes 24,360 indo- lent steps around the hard beaten path of the demerit track.
Since the new demerit rules have been passed requiring all walking demerits to be walked, the demerit track has become the center of Mon- day activities. The grass that had grown up since the merit system was instituted has been trampled down, and it seems that many more boys are taking stiff walks during the afternoon. Dressed in brogans and warm clothing, droves of boys slowly pace around the tedious track, walking off those well known terrors called demerits. Many of the boys are now experiencing their first walking of demerits.
Many boys have covered enough mileage via the demerit track to have hiked home and oack. It has been suggested that the school might win championship honors with a walking team. Certainly Seneff, Larson Seeley, Mitchell and others could make their letters on their past records alone, although Mitchell has let himself get a bit out of practice of late.

The remote ancestors of V. E. S
boys were said to be aided or pe~·
tered, as the case might be, b)
elves, hobgoblins, kelpies, Iepre tion, m chauns, banshees, trolls, and othCI
"little people." The older brother of the present student body an1 many of the alumni in the servio are quite familiar with gremlins.' The Boy Scouts are becoming fa miliar with bsags, the special vari ety of gremlins which beset Ba Scout troops.
It is now alleged that V. E. S has its own variety of familia: spirits, the vesgrems or v-grems. I is even alleged that there are femal v-grems, the peakies.
TnE METEOR has identified number of the v-grems so that the may be recognized on sight. Proh ably the most ubiquitous is Bill th Borrower, who whispers in boy! ears that V. E. S. is a communis state where "thine is mine," whethe: the other boy knows it or not.
*Not to be confused with the Grum lins, the real flesh and blood creaturt which distracted many V. E. S. bo) and teachers last year.
