IVell, it's all over now, and I am sure you will agree that we have had a mighty interesting session. On the ivhole our teams, so ~~t the secrct~ ~craCQ,~ p HE journalist for the Seventh Grade Times was lntervrewrng William Jones presrdent of the Twelfth Avenue Newspaper Distribution Services Limited, in th latter's pnvate conference room. "Would you mind telling our readers how you got ahead in the worldt" asked the news gatherer. "Not at aU," replied the great man. "You see, I'e always been a keen reader of the latest literature, beginning my early career with Grimms'airy Tales. "When I was appointed to the presidency of this company, I chanced to pick up a copy of a publication which had a profound influence over my life. I refer to The Buzzer. My business is keenly interested in service, which, I understand, is the keynote of the B. C. Electric Railway Company's publication. "So throughout the years I have kept abreast with the times by reading all the iateuL'o4 a crn~portatson and other public service in The Buzzer. So I would advise the ambitious young'an or woman to read The Buzzer and thus kee:p~ informed on the vital problems of their city." Read "Tbre Brc)Zer" In the cars m cry Friday. all three of them, put up a great fight. The junior boys, after winning their protest, and there- by tying up the league, generous- ly withdrew their claim thus pre- venting further and unpleasant complications. It may be noticed that North Burnaby (the win- ners) have won the champion- ship. The Bantam team also ex- hibited some fine play and were beaten by only a narrow margin, after two of their players had been removed from the game. Now we come to our girls. Are we proud of them? Well, words fail to express it. We only regret that the entire school can- not turn out to cheer for them when they face the finals. Per- haps it can be arranged even at the busy period of every school year. Junior Boys Basketball Report.

The Waiter I never had a queerer time on land, or on the sea, Than when a pretty waitress made a waiter out of me. 'Twas on a winter's evening, in Toronto, by the way, When into my usual eating house I fondly chanced to stray, Ny hunger was not very great, I merely ate a bit Some toothsome pie and coffee, nothing much I will admit. I thoroughly enjoyed it, but to Illy grief and woe I could not find that wretched check when I was set to go. It suddenly occurred to me that, though she was so kind, The waitress had not ivritten it, perhaps it slipped her miild. I looked in vain around the place --the girl I could not see. Thinks I, "since she is busy I'l wait 'til she is free." I waited and I waited for an hour and then some more, But the lassie who had served me did not come upon the floor At last, another girlie came; I spoke into her ear The sad thing that I'd suffered, though I had not shed a tear. She soothed my ruffled spirit with a smile that &ms so fair That for the missing girl's ne- glect I did no longer care. And since the other maiden had not come my check to write; This one did it for her and my gloom was turned to light. And though I do forgive her, you easily can see How a charming little waitress made a waiter out of me. IVOR THOiLXS.
