Squad of Officers in Training Headquarters of Military District No. 2 Home! By R. Utley, On Active Service Faculty of Applied Science Ican see the rocks agleamingIn the morning, in the sunlight,Coldly, grimly—but majestic—Standing out against the sky.I can see the jack-pine valleys Dark-green bands athwart the landscape:I can smell the pungent fragranceOf the woods that never die.

And tis there my heart doth lie. 58 THE VARSITY MAGAZINE SUPPLEMENT
