By the time this number of the Vindex 
appears, the school will have settled down to 
work. The Christmas holidays passed with 
amazing rapidity, (and we hope that the 
reality was well up to our expectations), but 
most of us were ready to return to school 
when the three weeks were up. We have 
started on the Easter Term, heretofore a 
term dreaded and looked upon as being dull 
and uninteresting. This seems to us to be 
looking on it from an erroneous standpoint. 
As a matter of fact there are nearly as many 
things to do in winter as at any other time. 
We have Fives, an excellent game, and one 
which seems to be growing in popularity 
daily. Out of doors we have skating, coast- 
ing, and hitching. The last sport does not 
seem to he indulged in this year as much as 
in former ones, yet the sleighing has been 
remarkably good, and for the benefit of 
those who have never tried hitching we would 
say it is a very enjoyable way of passing an 
afternoon. There has been very good coasting 
this term on Fayville hill, where one gets a dis- 
tance of over a quarter of a mile. The skating 
on the reservoir as yet has not been good. 
As soon as we have good ice the snow spoils 
it, but a rink has been cleared now, and the
