When the actors and the Doctor rehearse the play with zest." The Montagus and Capulets went striding up and down, And fought intruders one by one from Powell to Ken McGoun, "We'll have no wretched seniors come peeping round the door; We'll not let [underline] them see the Baby nor mighty Henry Shore." [drawn dashes] Then out spake Mr. Barclay. the Romeo to be: "Every man must take his part when he come to 'Varsity'. Begin rehearsals, Doctor, with all the speed you may I will two more to help me will be hero of this play

(Exams are near and on each one I must get thirty-three) Now who will stand on either hand to take some scenes for me?

Then out spoke [?] Ray Baker, a Sophomore was he; "Lo I will take just for thy sake a scee or two for thee" When out spake General G.B. Cox; a soldier brave was he; "I will recite with all my might the last sweet scene for thee"

At last the night arrived, and with it came the play. They fought with buttoned foils until the scenery gave away. Then the Nurse and Lady Capulet and Juliet appeared

Than came the mighty hero by all his foes much feared, And so the play progressed with its three Romeos Its balconies and lovers, its happiness its woes.

[drawn dashes] Juliet is in her tomb and beside her Romeo He thinks; "The floor is very hard and I must fall just so. Oh Tamblyn! Dr. Tamblyn! think what I've done to-day When Coxy's English paper is in your hands next May!" So he thought: When from his pocket lose the poison good and tried Then in a minute gracefully he to the floor did slide.

[drawn dashes] Oh let us speak no futher about this tragic scene Although for Romeo one second's bliss there must have been. Oh crafty Mr. Cox to be hero No. 3 For many other students would have willingly been thee!

[drawn dashes] When '07 class are seniors and know all there is to know, When new maidens reign at No. 6 where the seniors sometimes go, With joking and with laughter still the story will be told How well the Freshmen spoke their lines in the brave days of old.

[bold] OUR CHRISTOPHER [bold]

The venerable and docile occupant of No. 4 is now in his last term within these college walls. During these years he has partaken of its joys and sorrows, has shared a common lot with his fellow-students and has ever shown anxiety for the welfare of his "Alma Mater". Considering his zeal and parental-like care we think his name should be enrolled as one of the dignitaries of our Institution. That his name may be known and his career studied by after generations we purpose giving a short bigraphy [struck out] account of his life.

Chris was born on the 14th February, sometime in the seventies. He was no mere picture but a true valentine, one with life and breath. His babyhood was characterized by his continual

howl and constant unrestfulness, in short he was a kicker. As time passed Chris grew and waxed strong and his fath[er] adored him as his white-haired boy. His bright open contenance plainly fortold a great future.

At the age of six he began his public school career. Owing to his shyness his beginning was rather hampered but as Chris became acquainted with his environment he made rapid progress. In all his work he showed strength of character, even in his merry whistled tunes could be detected perseverance. He had many talents. One, and by no means the least, was his singing power. For some years he sang as bass soloist (of course this is not generally known) in Christ Church choir.
