It seems a sad thing, but Mr. Bullock and Mr. O'Flynn seem to enjoy being photographed in a state of intoxication.

For a couple of days Brookie was besieged by gentlemen anxious to learn the identity of the girls who advertised for partners for the Ball. He kept his counsel—but they saw you, Mr. Bliss.

So—Norman Morrison and Syd Agar are about to bare those rugged knees to an astonished world.

Have you heard about Sandy's scone? Which was a currant bun— Messrs. A. Collin, Powell, and Scotney have now qualified as elks.

Indoor pastime at the Brown House: Do several prominent girls round Varsity know Just how narrowly they escaped being, drawn in the great ballot as a Capping Ball partner for one of the inmates?
