Original Toronto Star caption: Having a ball; The rest of us may have found the some 16 inches of snow; rain and freezing rain that fell in Metro Toronto yesterday anything but amusing; but to the page boys at Queen's Park it was a welcome change. Here they are in front of the Legislative building having the time of their young lives with a huge snow ball - refreshing fun compared with the stuffiness of Queen's Park.
