SEVERAL enjoyable skating and toboggan parties have been organized by the members of the staff who have taken full advantage of the mild Winter experienced at Winnipeg.

The Dears Have Taken Up Curling

TUESDAY night, January 18th saw the commencement of what we hope to see as a regular feature, ladies’ night at the Heather Rink. Four rinks turned out under the direction of such experienced skips as D. Swan, Alex. Thompson, McMicken and Bill Phelan. The girls had some good sport, but all couldn’t win. D. Swan and Bill Phelan took the honors.

Heard next morning:

1st Girl–“Oh my arms do ache!”

2nd Girl–“Only your arms?”

3rd Girl–“They tell me the stones weigh 40 lbs. each.”

4th Girl–“400 lbs., you mean, judging by my back and arms.”

Chorus–“Oh, for ma wee white bed.”
