Diary of a freshman by Jennie Wong
If only they would smile!
BEARING in mind that I would have a good
time, at least for a year or two, in the Uni- versity, I was greatly disappointed after the first few lectures.
Any secondary student would envy me at a glance of my time-table. Indeed, I have to attend only twelve lectures. I have three afternoons off and no lectures on Saturdays. Even the lectures are not compulsory.
the The only "musts" are tutorial classes, of which I have only two in a week for English and nearly once in a month for History.
But, as I have said, I was greatly disappointed, for though it is obvious that lectures are comparatively few, I have to do
much of the work on my own.
If I grow slack, there is no one to compel me to shake off my laziness. So there is the difficulty of having to push my- self to work even though I am quite unwilling.

The first few days as a fresh- man, attending lectures and doing all sorts of things which become University student seemed to me the dullest days in my life. I guess that must as yet not be because I had been able to adjust myself to this kind of life.

Since my friends were not taking the same subjects, I very often felt at a loss when I had a couple of hours be- tween lectures. Sometimes, I felt so lonely that I wished I were still in school, where the schedule was nearly all filled up.

Although I love the new Union Building, I do not love the flight of steps that lead to 1. It worries me most on a hot day when I have to climb these interminable flights for a bottle of soft drink. By the time I am back again in the Main Building for a lecture, the magic of the drink has ceased working.
Meeting new faces is one of the great difficulties in my life. I do not know when I can get over this shyness of mine, but I hope it won't be long.

STAMP NEWS ⋆
33. THE 1900-02 ISSUE
1899 the Postal Union recommended that uniform colours for stamps representing the unit postage for letter, postcard and printed paper in the international post should be adopted: the colours were blue, red and green respectively.
The PMG requisitioned new printings with the 2c in green, the 4c in red and the 10c in blue; the 5c was required in yellow to distinguish it from the 10c in blue and a 12c (not printed since 1879 though still current)] to be in vermilion.
There was compromise in the colour scheme as # in a secondary school, I have contradicted the earlier request for a simplified postage and always taken for granted that revenue series in doubly fugitive inks; the latter inks were a school is like a family. It
was a habit for those who re-limited to shades of green and purple, and block. The cognised each other's faces to final colour scheme was: exchange greetings when they

WHEN THE DISTANCE FROM THE SUBJECT TO THE LENS, AND FROM THE LENS TO THE
NEGATIVE ARE
CORRECTLY
PROPORTIONED ·
LIKE THIS, THE
IMAGE IN THE NEGATIVE
IS IN FOCUS.
BUT IF THE DISTANCES
ARE INCORRECT, THE IMAGE ON THE NEGATIVE IS BLURRED, INDISTINCT AND "OUT OF FOCus:
THIS SYSTEM IS STILL USED BY THE TWIN-LENS REFLEX CAMERA, A DUPLICATE VIEWING LENS BEING USED TO CAST THE IMAGE ON THE
FOCUSING SCREEN.
THE EARLIEST AND MOST SIMPLE WAY OF CORRECTLY MEASURING THAT THE DISTANCES WERE CORRECT WAS TO FIRST, THROW THE IMAGE ON A PIECE OF GROUND GLASS, ADJUST THE GLASS – LENS– SUBJECT, DISTANCES UNTIL THE IMAGE WAS IN FOCUS ON THE GLASS, AND THEN REPLACE THE GLASS WITH THE NEGATIVE MATERIAL.
IN SUCH CAMERAS THE JUDGEMENT OF
DISTANCE AS SUCH IS NOT THE
PHOTOGRAPHERS JOB. HE DOES NOT HAVE TO KNOW HOW MANY FEET HIS SUBJECT IS FROM THE CAMERA.

IN ALL OTHER TYPES OF CAMERA SOME METHOD IS NEEDED TO ACCURATELY ASSESS THE DISTANCE TO THE SUBJECT.
