FOREWORD . . . Y OUR Year Book will re¬ call now and in future time many dear and glorious memories. Too often we take for granted the splendid ef¬ fort which is made by the Year Book staff of workers. To them our sincerest thanks go forth and may we all con¬ tinue to feel that true School spirit demands our heartiest co-operation and endeavour in this worthy enterprise. In so many ways we must realize that this year has been a memorable one. For the first time the Accrediting Plan of promotion will be put into operation in the graduation of our senior students. Let us try to justify such faith and may this opportunity enable us to surround our lives with even more soul-developing influences. It is so gratifying to observe creative and spiritual awakening in many departments. Once more we recall the deep impression of sorrow when the news of the death of our beloved King George Y came to us and the love and loyalty which were engendered in our hearts at the accession of King Edward VIII. The broadcasting of the impressive services did not merely enable us to compre¬ hend historical significance but, together with our own School memorial service, touched the tender chords of our hearts. Then again we have watched with forebodings the struggle taking place to retain the League of Nations as at present con¬ stituted. Faith in collective action has always been a central part of our Armistice Day Celebration and Peace and Brother¬ hood the theme. “In diverse forms and spirits we are making over the world:” By being good “citizens” of Kelvin School and by creating an all-pervading atmosphere of courtesy, loyalty and true service, we shall play well our individual parts in the general interests of others. “Self-reverence, self-knowledge, self-control, These three alone lead life to sovereign power.” J.

And when the war was ended, when the thought Of revolution took its hideous place, His courage and his kindness and his grace Scattered (or charmed) its ministers to naught. No king, of all our many, has been proved By time so savage to the thrones of kings: Nor won more simple triumph over fate. He was most royal among royal things, Most thoughtful for the meanest in his state; The best, the gentlest and the most beloved.” In Ubmory uf Uvutx} tin ' IfaUturJi —Masefield. 5 EDITORIAL hKs THE PLACE OF SCHOOL PUBLICATIONS T HERE are several functions of a school paper, as exemplified by the different publications here in Winnipeg. Some of the Junior High Schools have their weekly newspapers, the High Schools have their Year Books, and the University has its newspaper, its Year Book, and magazines published by each faculty. Each if these serves its own purpose. The newspaper of the Junior High co¬ ordinates the activities and thought of the young people just starting to find themselves, and also give them a means of literary expression, where such means are all too few. The Year Books of the High Schools serve both these purposes, and add the worthy one of supplying a detailed and authentic record of the personalities and activities of the different classes. In addition to this, they call forth a good deal of organizing ability on the part of their staffs, so they develop the executive ability which can be of so much use in future years. Our primary consideration at this point is naturally the Year Book, and we shall deal with our own, the Kelvin Journal. It is the aim of each Editorial Staff to make the current edition the best that has yet been published. To do this not only must the old sections be retained, but there must also be originality in their treatment. Also new sections must be added. The present Editorial Staff has endeavored to keep this in mind while compiling the material for this edition. As a new feature, we present the language section. It is our aim, in including this section, to have each part of the school course represented in the Year Book. It also provides the students with practice in expressing them¬ selves in the language they have been studying. It has been noticed in some of our exchange magazines that Kelvin is thought to be a technical school only. In reality a large proportion of the classes are studying modern languages and the classics. In the art section, several new contests have been included. Leaving the beaten track of the illustrated poem, a contest in designing has been introduced, besides a landscape drawing. The 1936 edition of the Kelvin Year Book comes to you with these ideals in mind. We hope that each student will find in its pages some expression of the intangible atmosphere which has made our years at Kelvin a memory to be treasured, a source of inspiration, and a challenge to us to do our best. We take this opportunity of expressing our deep appreciation of the way in which our teaching staff, and the principal, Mr. Little, have guided our activities during these years. _ R.D.G. RUDYARD KIPLING “The Bard of the Empire is dead.” These words screamed at us from the newspapers, came over the radio, and passed from person to person. A nation, an empire, the world in fact, mourned the passing of the greatest poet of the time. Kipling, the most original and interesting writer in modern times, was born in Bombay, India, in 1865. His father was an eminent art professor and museum curator under the Government of India. Kipling by birth was endowed with English, Irish, and Scottish blood, and in his wanderings all over the world he learned to speak about ten languages. His first literary work was done while he was assistant editor of “The Pioneer,” a newspaper in Allahabad. These stories were later put into book form, and called the “Rupee Books,” wh ich, 6 hKs along with his later stories, “The Incarnation of Krishna Malvany” and “The Head of the District,” helped to blaze Kipling’s trail to the hearts of his English readers. Then he began his rapid and amazing rise to fame and imperial importance. He wrote continuously from 1886, when he published “Departmental Ditties” to 1913-1918, when his works on the Great War came out. Some of his most famous books are “The Jungle Book,” “The Second Jungle Book,” “The Light That Failed,” and “Kim.” The world suffered a great loss when Rudyard Kipling died this year, but we have one consolation, a very great one; in his works we have a lasting memorial to his memory, for Kipling really put himself into his writings. Rudyard Kipling is dead, but his works will live forever. Kirke Smith, Room 38. EDITORIAL JOTTINGS Your editors wish to acknowledge gratefully several very fine contribu¬ tions to our Year Book: 1. Drawing entitled “School Spirit,” by Ruth Moncrieff, Room 37. Very beautiful idea and execution. 2. Drawings of Hockey Team by Bar¬ bara Kemp, Room 30. Also the Hockey Poem by Barbara. A very interesting feature. 3. Picture of “George, the Beloved,” drawn by Maurice Macdonald, Room 18. A very acceptable contribution repre¬ senting much skill and time. 4. Drawing, “A Century of Progress,” by Bob Young, Room 23. Bold, clean- cut drawing, with vision. 5. Drawing, “The Bells of Beaujo- lais,” by John Payne, Room 16. A very artistic corner for our operetta page. These were not eligible for any com¬ petition in Art, but add greatly to the beauty and interest of our book. We offer sincere congratulations to Mr. Sellors, our Art teacher, who has been chosen from a number to receive a Carnegie Scholarship, entitling him to a summer course in the Department of Fine Arts at Harvard University. “ ’Twas how you talked and looked at things which made us like you so.” It is with the greatest regret that we have to a n- nounce the retire¬ ment of Miss Ethel M. Hall from the teaching staff of Kelvin, where she served so well and effciently since the opening of the school in 1912. We miss her not only in the class-room, but also in every activity of the school in which she always took the keenest interest. We shall treasure in our memories, her loyalty, her sympathy, her cheerfulness, her delightful wit and humor. Long may she enjoy her well- earned leisure. “Far from the madding crowd’s ignoble strife.”—S.C.M. At the end of the fall term, our school sustained a great loss in the resigna¬ tion of one of our most beloved and respected teachers, Miss Helen E. Ross. During the many years Miss Ross has taught at Kelvin, she has endeared her¬ self to all by her quiet helpfulness, her thorough scholarship, and her re¬ markable ability to see only the best 7 hKs in everyone. Now that she is delivered from the bondage of bell and clock, we wish her the best of health and happi¬ ness in the pursuit of her many in¬ terests. H.M.S. ADDITIONS TO KELVIN STAFF Among Our new teachers this year we have Mr. Sellors in the art room. Mr. Sellors came to us from Aberdeen, and their loss was certainly our gain, for he has proved himself to be an ex¬ cellent addition to our staff, in every manner. Miss Wallace came to Kelvin from Laura Secord. Previously she was an “exchange” teacher in Richmond, Eng¬ land. Before going overseas she taught at the General Wolfe. Miss Wallace made her place in all our work and activities very rapidly. In the person of Mr. Cross, wo have a former Kelvin student back with us. It is Room 14’s privilege to claim him as their class teacher. He taught at the General Wolfe prior to coming to Kelvin. We welcome Mr. Cross back to Kelvin. We convey our heartiest welcome to Mr. Hughes, of Room 28, an addition to the language department. Coming to us from Luxton School, he success¬ fully coached our speedskating teams to victory. It has not taken Mr. Hughes long to make his place with us. Congratulations To: 1.

This picture was painted by one of Kelvin’s students under the direction of Mr. Fanshaw. , The competition called for a suitable poem, story, or article on this topic. The winning poems are printed below. Others deserving honorable mention were written by Gordon Pim and Winnie McKinnon. FIRST PRIZE THE COMING OF THE WHITE MAN Tibby Fordyce, Room 30 Bold warriors of a brave and mighty race Why sit you there so silent, so alone Gazing, as one, from dark impassive face On these intruders, since to nation grown? Oh, had you then no haunting sense of danger, No warning word, no sign of things to be When this same interloping pale-faced stranger Would take the birthright God alone gave thee? A birthright of unending rolling prairie, Of clear blue skies, of forests vast and free And rivers deep whose every tributary A highway for your people used to be. They took them all, this cold and ruthless nation Giving small holdings when you did rebel And in return left waste and desolation In lands where peace and beauty used to dwell. SECOND PRIZE THE COMING OF THE WHITE MAN Thelma Falardeau, Room 30 Full many days have passed since they set sail From distant lands,—and now along the trail Their caravans are winding in a train O’er rugged mountain slope and fertile plain. They come to build a nation,—pioneers Who know of untold hardships, hopes, and fears. Two indian braves in hatred and despair, On hillside far above, are watching there; For know they not what means this coming change, 9 Does not the white man covet that vast range Where roam the elk, the buffalo, and deer? Does he not come the redskin’s land to clear, To build a mighty nation in a land Where Indian teepee and long house stand? No more will redskins roam the plains so green, Nor on the lakes their swift canoes be seen. No more will night winds bring a ghostly song, The beating tom-toms and the shrieking throng, Nor Indian mother chant a lullaby To tiny babe rocked by a breeze’s sigh. Forgotten, they will lose their rightful place, A noble people and a noble race. THIRD PRIZE THE COMING OF THE WHITE MAN George Low, Room 26 The sky is blue above, The air around is still. The creaking covered wagons Come winding up the hill. Beneath a grove of birches Two tall bronze warriors stand, And watch the white man’s wagons Creep slowly o’er the land. They know that these two wagons Mean countless others more. They see the great migration. The future holds in store. Where nature reigns supreme Shall myriad cities rise. The Indian no more shall roam The prairie paradise, The land that was their fathers,’ The plains they loved to roam, The land that was their birthright, The land that they called home. ART WORK - LANDSCAPE POETRY CONTEST hKs JUDGE’S REMARKS T HERE is no more excellent poetic discipline than the attempt to write a sonnet, and it is interesting to find the first prize-winning poem a Shakespearian sonnet, correct in form, pleasing in diction, and with a definite arresting thought. The second prize poem, although not a sonnet, is also written in well-handled Iambic Pentameter. The third, quite different in form, moves more rapidly and the rhyming couplet ending each stanza is effective. In each of these three poems one feels that the writer has a very definite thought to express. H. E. Ross. FIRST PRIZE: “Youth” —Barbara Hannessen, Room 37. SECOND PRIZE: “The Dreamer” —Winnifred Polson, Room 22. THIRD PRIZE: “Thougts On the Sky” — Sheila Barbour, Room 14. HONORABLE MENTION: “My House” —Peggy Coleman, Room 37. “Spring” —Jeanette Jauvoish, Room 25. “Dawn” —Olive Dundee, Room 12. “Eventide”- —Meryl Smith, Room 35. “The Arrival of Winter” —Margaret Williams, Room 14. “To a Crow” — Clarence Blundell, Room 26. FIRST PRIZE YOUTH Barbara Hannesson, Room 37 The avid hours, like birds, may wing their way And cares, as shadows, cast a gloom uncouth, The year returns to songs of joyous May, And cares are lightened by the sun of Youth. As from the Past whence all things seem to flow, The tides of time come straining at the shore, An urge and hope in life would seem to show, A fount of Youth that wells forevermore. Alluring Future in the distance gleams To fade in drabness that the Present brings. Quiescent age reseeks in fitful dreams, The splendour born of Youth’s imaginings. Philosopher and sage should Know in truth The only everlasting things is—Youth. 12 SECOND PRIZE THE DREAMER WlNNIFRED POLSON, Room 22 He knows the sprites that populate the dells; The naiads and the mermaids of the fells; He sees the wild Valkyries on their steeds, And ghostly Knights who joust on ghastly meads. He finds small . beauties in unlovely places; See’s God’s sweet handicraft in children’s faces; The whispering of the Universe fills those ears, That hearken to the music of the spheres; And through Man’s petty bickering and strife, His soul soars past the pinnacles of life. So dream all poets, and in words of gold They write their songs of things both new and old, That we, whose souls are cast of coarser clay, May walk with them along their shining way. THIRD PRIZE THOUGHTS ON THE SKY Sheila Barbour, Room 14 When the sky to me seems lovely, On a blue, dark night; And I lift my face up to it, To its lordly height; Do I see the mighty Mars? Or, just little, twinkling stars? When I lift my face to heaven ’Tis my heaven that I see, Not so cast, or great, or reaching As in truth the sky must be, The stars are stars that peep At some little infant’s sleep. Must I see the planets twirling In their vast, encircling space, Must that tiny star be greater Than the sun that lights this space? That for scientists may be, But it spoils romance for me. For the moon that shines for lovers To be filled with mountains wide, To detail its fast rotating As its crescents change and glide; Its silver beauty takes away, Leaves a world hard, cold, and grey. Ever when the sky seems lovely, On a blue, dark night; It will seem a sky created— For this our world’s delight— Wrought for us by God, Just to grace our mortal sod. HONORABLE MENTION MY HOUSE Herein, the sweetest joy shall reign supreme, That ever through the many years between When youth has passed, and old age creepeth on My life will still be, but a happy song. Some days may come that will be sad and blue, Within my house, I win ne lonely too, But, as the sun comes out, when goes the rain, My heart next day shall be at peace again. And ever in my house of happiness Created by the soul which I possess, My children, in their turn, shall come to own The place I’ve always loved to call my home. Peggy Coleman, Room 37. SPRING Silent as nightfall comes stealing on, Soft as a blanket of down, Gracefully tripping with gayness of fawn, The spring comes. hKs- Breezes like gossamer wings of fay, Tenderly smoothing a leaf, Glorying in beauty of brilliant day, Spring is here. Gradually creeping o’er hill and dale, Stroking the tendrils of flow’rs, Tenderly covered with summer’s veil, Spring is gone. Jaenette Jauvoish, Room 25. DAWN Gentle lifting of a curtain Soft and light, Palest tints of gold and violet. Lovely sight. Just as if some magic wand Swiftly passed Touching dreary earth with beauty Dawn at last! Dawn as red as choicest rose E’er beheld. Faintly blushing; brighter, clearer, Earth revelled. All above was one fair garden Blue and gold. Far away the woods stood crimson To behold. Silently it came and waited Lingering by, Changed a world from gloom to glory N’er to die. Olive Dundee, Room 12. EVENTIDE The sun sinks lower in the golden west, And busy hours of day are nearly done, All living things are seeking now their rest, And thankfulness ascends from every¬ one. The cows tread homeward as the light grows dim; The little lamps have ceased their gambolling; The weary horses, tired in ev’ry limb; Will welcome rest and all that rest doth bring. The shadows close around the song¬ bird’s nest, The twitter of their young is faintly heard Upon the soft, warm breeze, and mani¬ fest Is safety, warmth, and sleep for each wee bird. And weary man, in happiness and peace, His humble rest doth seek at even¬ tide. Dear Lord, we pray our thankfulness increase, And may Thy love and blessings e’er abide. Meryl Smith, Room 35. THE ARRIVAL OF WINTER Last night Jack Frost transformed the earth Into a fairy kingdom bright. His little helpers, full of mirth, Began to work with all their might To hide the earth into a veil of white. By the light of the moon and twinkling stars, They dressed each roof and leafless branch, And some did cover the tops of the cars. But those down chimneys dropped by chance Did not have long to leap and dance. Jack Frost had just completed his task, When the sun awoke with a burst of light, And revealed the earth in its newest mask, A lovely, pure, and fairylike sight Made by the elves in the shades of night. Margaret Williams, Room 14. 14 hKs TO A CROW Unholy demon from the fiery land Of bubbling brimstone, writhing, damned souls, What evil deeds are by you being planned. As hopping slowly ’bout the grassy knolls, You turn to look at me with beady eyes Which rove about with blinking, glassy stare? With eyes too cold for man, for bird too wise, You chill me with your evil, icy glare. I think upon the lonely, bloody nest That hangs on yonder, whisp’ring poplar tree, Which droops at sight of gory, feath¬ ered breast Of mother of those tiny, missing three. —But should I question, who am but a man, That you’re but part of that prime¬ val plan? Clarence Blundell, Room 26. WINNIPEG, THE BEAUTIFUL The Frost-Elves and the Mist Maid¬ ens visited us the other night and gave to us a glimpse of glorious beauty, as shall remain in our memory to cheer us for many days. Describe it? Glory cannot be de¬ scribed. It is felt and known to the heart only. But look at the beauty with us—down the street, as far as the eye can reach, trees and shrubs are covered with a dazzling splendor. Hanging from every branch and twig, delicate tracery in frost-work may be seen, all so soft and white. As we look, the trees and shrubs assume a different shape, and lo! Vestal Virgins walk two by two, watched over by gracious matrons, dignified, tall, and stately. The trees on the river bank, so lately holding out bare, brown arms, are now smiling and clasping each other’s hands, softly clad in shimmering white mantles, which the gentle Mist-Maidens had given them. They had been so cold standing there, on the bank, so stark and bare, but now in their new mantles they were warm. They smiled at us as we passed and whispered, “Stay,” and nodded graciously. Reluctantly we hurried on and the beauty that our eyes had seen in the morning lived with us all the day, lightening our labour and making us eager to get out again to feast our eyes on such wonder. Marguerite Rowe, Room 12. 15 SHORT STORY CONTEST hKs JUDGE’S REMARKS I IKE everything else, the short story is on the march. Stories considered J good when I first began to judge the Short Story Contests for Kelvin, would now go into the discard. People are beginning to understand psychology, to demand that the characters in a story, be not mere puppets of fate, but rational human beings capable of being changed by circumstances or of changing cir¬ cumstances. Some of the more radical editors are beginning to value content more than form. There are rare occasions when an incident has more emotional value than the more complicated form known as a short story. It is encouraging to note that the short story has elasticity and vitality enough, to adapt itself to a changing world. Submissions by the students this year are marked by the great variety of sub¬ jects chosen. Most of the students went to life for their material. Of course, there were the few who wrote on time-worn themes, but I think both teachers and students should be congratulated on the vitality of most of the subjects chosen. “Phil Returns,” I gave first place because it excels in form, content and characterization. There is no digression. From the first sentence one feels that the life on the farm is disintegrating. Change is imminent. That change, is going to be more than a change of place; it is going to be also a mental change. The writer creates an atmosphere that leads the reader to expect certain things and he does not let the reader down. “The Big Frogs,” is a very interesting psychological story, with a convincing small-town background. To it I give second prize. “The Play’s the Thing,” comes third, a convincing story of character change among students. I am glad to be able to give honorable mention to, “Size Thirty-Six,” “Brown Hands, “The Way to Glory,” and for the delightful intimate naturalness of the writing to, “My Ordeal.” Let me conclude with what I feel very strongly. There are no failures in this contest except those who did not try. Lillian Benyon Thomas. FIRST PRIZE. “Phil Returns” — Irene Benoit-, Room 22.

Phil jumped out of bed and hurriedly drew on his clothes—an old shirt, a worn pair of overalls, and a pair of heavy, old shoes. He went into the kitchen, lit the fire; then took the two pails off the washstand and went out to the pump. He was tall and strong¬ looking. Although he was only seven¬ teen his muscles were as large as any man’s. His face and arms were tanned, and the hand around the pump handle was large and rough. He took the two full pails into the house and went out again with two more pails, this time to the barn. The cows had to be milked. Now the rest of the family was be- binning to stir. Mother got up, hur¬ riedly combed her white hair and said her prayers. She said her prayers every morning, although Pa laughed at her and said she was wasting good time. Jack, her eldest son, got up. He dressed a little more slowly than Phil had. He was twenty and Pa didn’t dare bawl him out as he would Phil. He went out to the barn and helped Phil with the milking. While they were milking, Mother set the table and began making breakfast. Then Pa strolled into the kitchen. He stood still and looked at the table, then at the food on the stove. “Hurry up there, Mary,” he said to his wife, “there’s a lot of work to be done today.” Mary said nothing but she thought to herself, “A lot of work to be done. I guess I’d better give the boys a treat for breakfast.” She went down to the cellar and brought up a jar of her best preserves. Th en the boys came in with the pails of fresh milk. Phil began to work the separator. In a few minutes Pa came in and stood with his hands in his pockets, watching Phil turning the han¬ dle round and round. When Phil finished, he took the skim milk out to the pigs while Mary took the cream down to the cellar. After these two tasks were done everyone sat down to breakfast. They ate in si¬ lence for a few minutes. Then Pa said, “Well, boys, we’re go¬ ing to start haying in the south field today. Want to get that hay all in by the end of the week.” The boys made no answer. They’d been told what they were to do; there was nothing to say. A few more minutes of silence; then Jack said, “I saw Bill North in town yesterday. He had on a new suit. His dad gave him it for his birthday.” “That’s like Jim North,” said Pa. “Al¬ ways wasting his money on fool things. Don’t need good clothes on the farm.” “Bill doesn’t stay on the farm all day,” said Phil. “His pa lets him go to town every night. Even lets him take the car most nights.” “Well, don’t think I’m going to let you go chasing around the country in my car,” said Pa. “Probably smash it up. What good would you be on this farm if I let you chase around all night.” The meal was finished in silence. Then Pa followed the boys out to the barn, watched them take out the horses and hitch them up. He went with them to the fields, and after showing them where to begin and telling them to work hard, he returned to the house. By this time Mary had washed the dishes, cleaned the separator, fed the pigs and chickens, and done several other odd jobs. When he entered the kitchen, she was on her knees, scrub¬ bing the rough floor. “Well,” he said slowly, “guess I’ll go into town and see if there’s any mail. Need anythin’ at the store?” “No,” said Mary. She knew he wouldn’t get it anyway. Meanwhile the boys were working in the field. Suddenly Jack looked toward the road and said, “There goes Pa to town again.” “Oh, he’ll be back in time for dinner,” Phil said, and added after a minute— “and to tell us what to do this after¬ noon.” They worked on in silence while the sun grew hotter and the work became harder. Finally they saw the car re¬ turning. “Guess it’s dinner-time,” Jack said. They returned to the barn, watered the horses, and went up to the house. There was very little conversation at the table. After the meal was over, Pa said to the boys, “You keep on working in that field. I’ll be over in a while.” Lighting ' his pipe, he sat down and watched Mary wash the dishes. In a few minutes he said, “Well, I guess I’ll go and give the boys a hand out there.” But he sat still and kept on smoking. After some time he spoke again, “Guess I’ll go and help the boys.” This time he rose slowly from his chair and went outside and down the road About five they returned from the fields. Phil went into the kitchen and sat down heavily. In a few minutes Pa came in. “Better go and fetch the cows, Phil. Near milkin’ time,” he said. Phil sighed but rose from his chair and went off down the road. “Couldn’t you have gone for the cows tonight, Pa?” Mary said. “Phil’s been working hard today.” “Huh, me go for the cows,” said Pa, “with him sittin’ here doin’ nothin’.” When Phil returned with the cows Jack helped him milk them. Then they all sat down to supper. Suddenly Jack cleared his throat and said, “There’s a dance in town tonight, Pa, and Phil and me thought you might let us go.” “There’s a lot of work to be done tomorrow,” Pa said. “Let them go,” Mary said, “They’ll work tomorrow.” “No need for them to go to every dance,” said Pa. “We don’t go to every dance,” said Phil, bitterly. “I’m going anyway.” “You’re not going,” said Pa. Phil rose from the table and went out to the barn. When he returned, Mary was mending socks; Jack and Pa were reading. Phil pickel up a paper, and, after looking through it, went to bed. Next morning he rose as usual and went out to the bam. “I’m not staying here much longer,” he told his favorite horse, Prince. Breakfast was eaten in silence and the boys went out to the field again. All day they toiled in the scorching heat. That night when they were milking the cows Phil said to Jack, “Not much use us staying here on the farm all our lives. If we went away we wouldn’t have to work so hard and we’d get paid.” “Neither of us has any money,” said Jack. “We couldn’t run away.” “I could,” said Phil. The next morning Phil was gone! Mary had called him but received no answer. She found in his room a small note, which said there was no use him staying on the farm so he was going away to get a job. In the next town, the freight train stopped. A shabby figure climbed off a boxcar. It was Phil. He walked several blocks until he came to a small, white house on the corner. He knocked on the door. The woman who came to the door gasped when she saw who the dirty, bedraggled figure was. “Phil,” she cried, “what are you doing here?” “I ran away,” said Phil, coolly. He went in and while his aunt pre¬ pared a lunch, he explained every¬ thing. For days he tried to get a job and finally one day he returned and told his aunt he had a job just outside the town. He didn’t get paid much but he didn’t have to work very hard. How proud he felt when he got his first pay! All this time Pa was having his troubles on the farm. For several days after Phil left, Pa tried to get a hired man. But no one seemed to want a job. So, for several days, he was compelled to do Phil’s work himself. He finally hKs hired a man but he was a careless, lazy fellow. He only did half the work Phil could do and so Pa was still forced to work all day. Finally he became desperate. He was paying this man wages and yet working himself. The next day he wrote a let¬ ter to Phil and told him that if he came back he would pay him as much as he was paying his hired man. He also en¬ closed enough money for train fare. So Phil returned home. Pa met him at the station with the car. He was friendly and agreeable and Phil was quite surprised. At supper that night, Pa said, “I was speakin’ to Bill North when I was in town this morning. He was askin’ me if you boys was going to the dance to¬ night. I told him I kinda thought you was.” SECOND PRIZE—THE BIG FROGS By Clarence Blundell, Room 26 Abe Hennessey had been village checker champion for as long as most of the old-timers could remember. While still a young man establishing himself as a grocer, he had shown his supremacy over the other players of Linwood Crossings. As the years passed, his continuous string of victories was seldom broken. Each loss of his was followed by a challenge to a match, which Abe always won. Now, as the fat, good-natured grocer, he was still turning back all comers in his checker encounters. Though they still played him often, the other checker players of the town had despaired of ever beat¬ ing him more than once in twenty games. And so it was that when a certain young man visited Linwood Crossings, the poorer checker players decided to take full advantage of his presence there. The young man had arrived on a very hot day and registered at the local hotel. The hotel-owner, Mr. Brown, himself a very poor checkerist, had, of- course, seen his name. It was he who instigated the plot to take revenge on old Abe for his long reign of terror as checker king of the town. He dis¬ covered that the young man was plan¬ ning to do a week’s fishing and rambling about in the pretty lake country sur¬ rounding the village. That should be plenty of time for Mr. Brown to work out his plan. The day after the visitor’s arrival, Mr. Brown asked him if he would take the leading role in the conspiracy he planned to stage. The young fellow, who appeared to be of a fun-loving disposition, agreed to do it. The next day, Mr. Brown visited the grocery store. After buying a package of tobacco, he opened the conversation. “Been playing any checkers lately, Abe?” asked Mr. Brown, filling his pipe rather slowly. “Not for a week or so, Bill. Why?” “Well, I thought you might like to have a game or two with a young fel¬ low staying at the hotel. He’s finding it sort of hard to put in the evenings.” “I’d be glad to. Is he a good player?” Mr. Brown struck a match and lighted his pipe before answering. “I don’t think he has been playing very long, seeing he’s so young. If you come over this evening, you can use the checker table in the lobby.” “All right. I’ll be over.” Mr. Brown wore a smile of satisfac¬ tion as he left the store. His plans couldn’t be working more smoothly. Next, Mr. Brown made a tour of the town, visiting most of his checker-play¬ ing friends. He received pats on the back, and gleeful laughter followed in his wake. Other people who saw him concluded that he must be telling a very good, new joke. But why he should go to the trouble of telling it to a score of different citizens of the town was beyond them. That evening, when Abe arrived at 20 the hotel, the young man was intro¬ duced to him as “Mr. Smith.” Abe had a strange feeling that he had seen his face somewhere before. He concluded that the young man had paid an earlier visit to the town. A game was soon started at the table that stood in the centre of the lobby. The inlaid checker board on its top was a familiar sight to Abe. He had won perhaps a hundred games on it. As he waited for his opponent to make a move, he tried to remember how many games he had lost at the table. He was unable to recall a single one. For that matter, he hadn’t lost many games on any checker board. Near the end of the first game, when the position was still fairly even, Abe glanced up from the board. He was astonished to see what a number of men had gathered about the table to watch the game. He had never seen such interest in a game of checkers. When he looked back at the board the young man made his move. The older player, after a short appraisal of the situation, did likewise. He noticed his opponent flinch slightly. After a few more moves, “Mr. Smith” raised his head and looked queerly at Abe. “I guess I’ll have to give up. It’s your game.” It was, in fact, a win for Abe. He took his victory casually enough, but was puzzled at the strange expressions on the faces of the watching men. He felt rather embarrassed by the queer manner in which they stared at him. They appeared also, to be whispering among themselves. Abe heard Dr. Johnson say something about a big frog from a big pond being better than one from a little pond. A second game was started. This time, the young man played more slow¬ ly. Nevertheless, the game was shorter than the first, Abe winning again. The young man wiped his forehead with a handkerchief, got up, and said something to Mr. Brown. To Abe, it sounded something like “The joke’s on me!” The actions of the men about him were certainly unusual, thought he. The third game was the longest. “Mr. Smith” appeared to give of his best. But towards midnight, Abe gained two pieces and, soon after, won the game. After saying good night, the younger player left the lobby with a puzzled expression on his face. “You might as well tell him now, Bill. Be a good sport,” said Dr. John¬ son to the hotelowner. Mr. Brown’s face became rather red when he heard several laughs. “Well, Abe,” began Mr. Brown, “I’ll confess. We planned to have a little joke on you tonight, but it hasn’t worked out so well. Do you know whom you were playing checkers with just then?” “Why, Mr. Smith, of course—at least, that’s the name you gave me when you introduced him.” “That was just part of the joke. As a matter of fact, that was James Mason, the national checker champion!” “James Mason? Well, I’ll be—and I beat him! It can’t be him!” “It is, nevertheless. We thought, naturally, that he would beat you. But apparently you’re even a better player than he is.” “But that’s foolish, Bill. I can’t be.” But the general opinion was that Abe was very likely the best player in the world. The village grocer left the hotel in a slightly dazed condition. It was thus that the national checker champion was beaten by old Abe Hen¬ nessey, who hadn’t played a single game outside of his own county. But that is not the end of the story, though the reader might prefer it to be. In the two following days, ten games were played at Abe’s home between the two. One game was drawn. All the rest were won by Mr. Mason! No good explanation has yet been offered to account for Abe’s astonish¬ ing success in those first three games. Mr. Mason says he was really trying to win. Moreover, he says he never felt hKs- in better health than during his visit to Linwood Crossings. Was it confi¬ dence alone which enabled Abe to play so well before he discovered the true identity of “Mr. Smith”? We must re¬ member that a national champion .would also have a great deal of con¬ fidence. Today James Mason is a retired world ' s checker champion. Abe Hen¬ nessey, also retired, and whose beard is long and white, is still checker cham¬ pion of Linwood Crossings. The end. (The plot of the story is based on an actual incident which happened during a tour of the United States by a promi¬ nent checker expert.) THIRD PRIZE—THE PLAY’S THE THING By Clare Robinson, Room 26 Larkstown was a very small town, unknown to many in a large city like Winnipeg. Some people will know it by its Dramatic Society, which once visited this city to put on a play. This Dra¬ matic Society was really a “School Drama Club,” as all the performers were chosen from the Larkstown High School. The worthy president, producer, organizer, play writer, and treasurer of the Society was Mr. Kerton, the Latin teacher of the school. Mr. Kerton con¬ sidered himself, and justly so, the pin¬ nacle around which the Society re¬ volved. He was a cantankerous fellow in school hours but when he was pro¬ ducing one of his plays, he was at his worst. He was a positively terrible. He stormed and raved at the players as one possessed, while they, knowing after his mood had passed he would forget what had happened and be quiet for a time, took it all with a grain of salt. About three times a year he produced a play and before producing it he col¬ lected subscriptions from the villagers. Here he displayed a fine knowledge of human nature. Ambitious mothers sometimes hopefully tried to top one another in their subscriptions, so their fair children would be allotted a role in the season’s big event—The Play. However, it was widely known that Mr. Kerton chose only the best speakers and usually a person who was popular with the other students. It was really an honor to be in his play as it meant you were above the usual to attract that worthy man’s attention. Soon Mr. Kerton would choose his cast and OH! the exultation that would enter some hearts, but such disappoint¬ ment would come to others. Terry Cave for instance. He was a great favorite of Mr. Kerton’s in school hours as he was especially bright in Latin, but out¬ side of school he was a hopeless dunce. He had nice clothes, but they were so crumpled and muddled, and he just slumped in them. He wouldn’t look at a girl—oh my no! He never went to parties or mixed with other young folks. But he did know Latin, and he did think he would get a part in the play as Mr. Kerton liked him. Many of the boys and girls laughed at him but a few thought if he ever woke up and got wise to him¬ self he wouldn’t be such a bad chap. Mr. Kerton collected the subscriptions from the village folks and after long deliberation he wrote the names of the chosen on the notice board. It couldn’t be true, it just couldn’t! Terry Cave was to be lead. It was unthinkable! Mr. Kerton couldn’t do that, it would ruin the play. Imagine Terry Cave hero of anything except Latin period. It was true though and opposite him was to be Lucy Taines, who was considered practically the best-looking girl in the school. Many manly hearts had secretly longed to play hero to this dashing dam¬ sel, but here was Terry Cave opposite her. It was unbearable. Just a rough note had been posted naming Terry Cave—Masculine Lead, Lucy Taines—Feminine Lead, Rest of Cast—and then the others were named. No one knew what he was to play. Practising would start the next day and 22 they they would find out what “deah” Terry was to be. “Maybe it’s a tragedy and he kills himself because he’s so down-hearted over his appearance—or something,” hopefully exclaimed one bright maiden. “I’m not wishing the boy bad luck, but I hope he breaks a leg, then I could be the hero,” Jim Sinston was heard to say. Everyone knew he was trying to attract the attention of the charming Lucy but that young lady took no notice of him or of other boys for the time being. The next day the school was dismayed to find Mr. Kerton away, and away for two weeks visiting his mother who was ill. “What, no practice for two whole weeks? How will we ever wait that long to find out what part our dashing Terry is to play,” snickered Jim Sin¬ ston. “Oh, keep quiet and give Terry a chance, for all you know he might turn out splendidly,” defended Lucy. “What a hope, his turning out well,” exclaimed Jim. “Why that face of his would scare the audience out of the hall before the play started.” “He’s not so bad looking, if he would only tidy up once in a while.” This time Lucy spoke with an impatient note in her voice. The next day the school was astound¬ ed to see Terry dressed fit to kill, and as neat as could be. Perhaps he was not handsome enough to stop a maiden’s heart, but did he strut up to that school. Gone was the slumped look, the sleepy expression. A light was in his eyes, a spring was in his steps, and a happy note in his voice. Hadn’t he been chosen from all the boys to be lead, so he must be good, at least that is the way he looked at it. Then came the crowning blow, he actually winked at Lucy—the girl who half the boys didn’t dare to even look at, and she smiled back. That was only the beginning. During the next two weeks he seemed to change entirely. He walked home with Lucy, became quite a debonair young chap and began to be popular with everyone. Truly Terry had come out of his shell. He was now fit to play in the world so many of the girls secretly thought, and began to envy Lucy her role in the for-coming play and in daily life also. At last Mr. Kerton came back. Re¬ hearsals started the next day and every¬ one would know what role Terry was to play. It was too terrible to be borne. The news was out. Terry was to play an old man, and Lucy his young daughter. Everyone expected Terry to fall back to his old ways as it was well known his transformation was due entirely to the fact that he thought himself good enough to be chosen for the play. But oh no! Therry did no such thing. He understood now how dull he had been and besides he was having too good a time. So, although Mr. Kerton did not know it, he had been indirectly responsible for ridding a boy of an inferiority com¬ plex. Lucy had a new boy friend, and one Latin scholar was lost to the world. SCHOLARSHIPS joan McCullough The Governor-General’s medal for last year was awarded to Joan McCullough, the most outstanding, all-round student at Kelvin. She played on the basket¬ ball team, was on the Year Book Staff, sang in the choirs and at Graduation she presented the girls’ banners. It was Room 26’s honor to claim her as their president. We, of Kelvin, wish her the very best in life. ANDREW DOUGLAS One of our most outstanding stu¬ dents of last year was Andrew Douglas, who won a first Isbister Scholarship. He attended Gladstone and Earl Grey schools prior to coming to Kelvin. A member of Room 36 and president of that class, he took part in the produc¬ tion of “Macbeth.” We expect great things of Andrew and know that we will not be disappointed. ALAN B. McCARTEN We offer our heartiest congratulations to Alan McCarten, another 36er who won a half Isbister Scholarship. Alan came to us from Gordon Bell, where he had taken his earlier grades. He is now pursuing his studies at Wesley, where he is the president of First Year. He is also on the Wesley hockey team. We are proud to be able to claim Alan as a Kelvin student. We congratulate him on winning a scholarship this year also. 24 BETTY RALPH—1935 W HEN Mr. Little informed me that I was to give the valedictory address this year, I was naturally very happy, for I realized it was a great honor. Though I deeply appreciated this honor, I was at the same time a little bewildered, and undecided what to say. There hardly seemed to be anything to speak about once I had expressed the gratitude of the gradu¬ ating class to our principal and teach¬ ers for their unfailing patience and help during the past two years, and our sincere regret in leaving Kelvin, which has been almost a second home to us for two years. Our feelings re¬ garding these subjects are truly sin¬ cere, but it is difficult to express emo¬ tions, such as gratitude and regret, in mere words, and I began to go over the events which had occurred during our years at Kelvin. Once I had begun to recall the various happy events of our school¬ days, I had no difficulty in finding sub¬ jects for a farewell speech. Memories of every kind began to flood my mind— memories of the rehearsing and pre¬ senting of plays, of interesting and in¬ structive lectures in our auditorium, of our gymnasium display, of hikes, sports, music, and finally of our Armistice service, which I am sure none of us shall ever forget . Life at Kelvin has always been full of interests which have made coming to school a pleasure. There has nearly always been something to look forward to. In the midst of the most puzzling and seemingly hopeless lesson, we have been able to remember, with happy an¬ ticipation, that something had Deen planned for us in a few days—some¬ thing to break the monotony of school life and make us return to our work with a greater desire to do well. Kelvin has entered and will continue in the future, to enter, into every kind of school activity, sports, drama, and music. We have had many successes of which we may pardonably be proud, for they have been gained through hard work, and in good sportsmanship. We shall remember them with pride in the years to come, but also we shall re¬ member our losses. We have had failures, too, and I believe we have learned to take them with a smile and to make them the incentive for trying harder next time. Continual successes are likely to make the most sensible person feel that his school is the only one in the city. When we lose, we realize that we are only one of many, and that there are other people who have the same feeling of loyalty and respect for their school as we have for Kelvin. Behind all the successes of the pupils are the teachers. It has been their encouragement which has made us want to succeeded, and which has made us want to try again when we have failed. In every part of our school work, we have depended on our teach¬ ers for advice and instruction and they have never failed us. We shall always remember, gratefully, that at Kelvin our teachers were more than teachers— they were our friends who tried and succeeded in understanding us and in making our lessons interesting and en¬ joyable. Many of us are now leaving our school-days behind us forever. It is rather difficult to realize this, after we have attended school for eleven years, but, though some of us may go on to the University, a great many of us are now going to attempt to begin making our way in the world. This is a difficult, and sometimes it may almost 25 hKs seem to be a hopeless thing for young people to attempt today. It is only the people who are best prepared in every sense of the word, who have a real opportunity to succeed nowadays. A good education is an asset in any position, and we have certainly had every opportunity of obtaining this at Kelvin. At the same time, we have learned the values of honesty and per¬ severance. We realize that, as future citizens, we must strive to carry out our duty at all times, even though it may at times seem difficult, and that we must carry with us into our new lives, the principles which we have been taught to observe at Kelvin. No matter how humble and small a part we play in the world, we would play it with honesty and to the best of our ability, for in the long run we have found that it is the honest, sensible, sometimes insignificant workman who in the end is of the most worth, and not the brilliant, spectacular worker who at a crisis is likely to fall to pieces. We are leaving school in a year which will always be remembered, for in this year, we have clearly seen the true unity between the countries of the British Empire, and we have realized that we are only part of a great whole. We are, indeed, fortunate in beginning our new life when there is such a feeling of peace and friendship between the British nations. It is our duty to strive to maintain this feeling of peace and friendship, and also to do our best to obtain this feeling between other countries of the world which today are on the verge of war and destruction. It was hard to begin this valedictory, and it is still more difficult to con¬ clude it. All I am able to say is, that we may thank, from the bottom of our hearts, Mr. Little and all our teachers, and that we feel whatever succeeses we have had during our school-days, and those we may have in years to come, are largely due to their encouragement and help. We read that in the temples of an¬ cient Greece there was a sacred fir e kept ever burning. When citizens sailed away from the mother city to found a new colony, they took with them some of the sacred fire. It was never allowed to expire. When we leave our school we shall carry with us the sacred fires of friendship, helpful¬ ness, honor, truth and right, hoping that these will continue to light us in the new life into which we shall enter.

Jackson 26 P ERHAPS the most fascinating work connected with the publishing of a year book is the Exchange Department. But it is more than fascinating work, it is important work. It is most important because it supplies the editors with new ideas which are always very welcome. Then too, it brings schools into closer contact with each other, more firmly establishing the Fellowship of Education. The following was printed in our New Zealand exchange: “The high jump record at the Kelvin Technical High School, Winnipeg, Canada, is 5 ft. 10% in.” The jump record there is about 5 feet. We may justly be proud of Don McDougall for establishing this record. In some magazines there is no Exchange Department.

Curling, a novelty in school sport, is chronicled. O NCE again Kelvin has soared to great heights! Once again its students have displayed great ability in music and dramatic work. Under the guidance of Miss Ander¬ son, Miss Garland and Miss Hoole, the operetta, “The Bells of Beaujolais’’ by Louis Coerne and Da¬ vid Stevens, was a suc¬ cess. On Wednesday, Thursday and Friday eve¬ nings, February 12, 13 and 14, the large audiences which filled our auditorium, were charmed with the fine entertainment which this operetta of¬ fered. Not only should the casts and choruses be congratulated, but also those who spent time and energy in the technical details of the operetta. To Mr. Fanshaw, who worked at the designing of the stage settings, we offer our warmest thanks. Don Kirkland and Robert Cul¬ len, who, under the direction of Mr. Sellors, executed the stage settings; Mr. Wilson and Tom McGrath, who looked after the electrical department; and Tom Hill, who beat the drums and rang the bells at exactly the correct time, are also to be sincerely thanked. The three fine pianists, Olive Dundee, Dora Slayen and Marion Heorner, who rendered the instrumental accompaniments, are to be congratulated. We are also grateful to Mr. S. Comba and his orchestra, who supplied appropriate music during the intermission. Let’s give three rousing cheers to an extraordinary perform¬ ance!! The thanks of all the students who had anything to do with the operetta are extended to Miss Stuart, Miss Perry, Miss Harper, Miss Ferrier and Miss Wallace, who prepared a reception for the casts after the Friday performance. Miss Greenway, Miss Mc- Beth and Miss McGregor are also to be thanked for arranging for and procur¬ ing such lovely costumes for the casts and choruses of the operetta. 4c ❖ After the excitement of the operetta had quiet¬ ened down, regular meet¬ ings of the Glee Club com¬ menced. Under the able leadership of Miss Ander¬ son, selections for the Musical Festival in April were seriously concentrated upon. A small chorus of select voices practised together to dis¬ play their talent before the Manitoba Teachers’ Convention in April. “The Eriskay Love Lilt” by Marjorie Ken- nedy-Fraser, “If My Song Had Airy Pinions” by Reynoldo Hahn and “The Beggar Maid” by George Rathbone were very successfully rendered. As you can see, the musically inclined pupils of Kelvin have had a very busy year from beginning to end. On December 23rd in the Fort Garry Hotel a group of Kelvin girls who belong to the Junior Musical Club, together with a group from Gordon Bell and Machray schools, presented a Christmas concert in costume. A group of boys and girls gave a concert at the Harrow Street Mission, on March 12th. On Easter Sunday a short programme was presented at the Manitoba Govern¬ mental Home for Girls. Another short programme was presented on Easter Monday at the Women’s Institute at Transcona. The congratulations of the whole school are extended to Miss Anderson and students, who did so well in the Musical Festival this year.

M. Inspector of Schools for Scotland, spoke on the Scottish Education system, both Urban and Rural. Mr. W. A. F. Hepburn, M.C., Director of Education for Ayrshire, gave a delightful descrip¬ tion of the country near the border of England and Scotland. September 18, 3:00 p.m. THE ARCTIC The Grade XI and senior Grade X students were honored by having Mr. Alan Sulivan, author of “Tracks of Des¬ tiny,” speak to them today. The lec¬ turer gave many interesting details of the bleak Arctic country. As Mr. Sullivan had recently returned from there, he was thoroughly familiar with the land and customs of the Eskimo. September 24, 3:10 p.m. AUSTRALIA The Grade X classes were invited to the school auditorium this afternoon to witness an illustrated lecture by Mr. McGregor. The pictures dealt mainly with four topics: Australian Aquatic Sports, the Coral Reef, the Australian Lifeguard Corps, and Australian In¬ dustries. The pupils were much im¬ pressed by the wonderful skill of the Australians in surfboard riding, swim¬ ming, and life saving, whilst the beauty of the Coral Reef caused many an ex¬ clamation of amazement. Most inter¬ esting of all, however, were the pic¬ tures which portrayed Australian in¬ dustries. The forests, fruit farms, and manufacturing cities impressed upon everyone the fact that Australia is no longer a country of sheep ranches and gold prospectors alone, although sheep raising and mining still form an im¬ portant part of the country’s industries. The students left the auditorium with a much broader view of Australian life and customs. October FRENCH PLAYS During October, Mr. Hughes’ classes, Room 14, 24 and 28, dramatized the following selections taken from “Contes Dramatiques,” a book of old French stories which they are studying this year—“Le Cirque,” “Les Examens,” “Les Trocs de Jean,” and “Les Corri- gons.” Room 14 was chosen to act its dramatization in the school auditorium, having for an audience Rooms 24 and 28. The selection, “Les Trocs de Jean,” was particularly well acted, and showed careful preparation. November 8, 10:40 a.m. ARMISTICE SERVICE Once more tribute was paid to those who had lost their lives in the Great War. The students assembled at 10:40. before the memorial lamps and honor roll. Wreaths were laid by two of the “old boys,” Reginal Hinch and Lyman Van Vliet. A beautiful service then followed in the auditorium. There was a reverent silence while the Last Post was sounded. Mr. Ken- more recited “The Dead,” by Rupert Brooks, and following this, Mr. J. Ro¬ berto Wood sang “There Is No Death.” The guest speaker, Professor Kirk- connell, made us realize the great need for universal peace, and the need for justice if we would have peace. 32 November 8, 3:20 p.m. DEBATE The subject for the first debate of the year was, “Resolved that the British were justified in their expulsion of the Arcadians.” The affirmative was splen¬ didly upheld by Barbara Hanneson and Lorna Du Val, of Room 37, and the clever argument of the negative was presented by Fraser Kierstead and Doug Porter, of Room 34. Mr. Scott gave the adjudication and the de cision was in favor of the negative. December 9, 3.20 p.m. CANADIAN HISTORY PLAYS The girls of Room 37 presented two Canadian History plays, representing the life of the French-Canadian in Que¬ bec. The first play, “St. Martin’s Day,” dealt with the habitant paying their annual dues to the seigneur. The sec¬ ond selection was “A Morning in Court.” This showed the French-Cana¬ dian seigneur as a stern judge, deal¬ ing out justice in an effort to preserve law and order in the land. Great credit goes to Miss Garland and the girls, who gave interesting and instructive enter¬ tainment. January 13, 3:00 p.m. THE ROMILLY BOY SINGERS The students had great pleasure in hearing the Romilly Boy Singers from Wales. These boys are all vocal gold medallists, and as they tour the British Empire, they continue their school edu¬ cation, especially in geography. Mr. W. H. Williams, their conductor, is also their tutor, and each boy keeps a diary of his travels and experiences. The choir has a large and varied number of songs, consisting of Classical and Popu¬ lar Choruses, Part Songs, Folk Songs, Sea Shanties, Quartettes and Instru¬ mental Items. January 21, 11.15 a.m. SERVICE FOR THE LATE KING The students assembled in the school auditorium to pay their last tribute to the late King George V. The impres¬ sive service commenced with Mr. Sel- lor’s rendition of “The Lord is My Shepherd.” Then the students sang “Nearer My God to Thee,” which was followed by the “Dead March.” An ensemble sang the “Memorial Song.” The late King’s last Christmas message and John Masefield’s poem, written in memory of King George, were read. After the students had sung “O God Our Help in Ages Past,” the words “The King is dead. Long live the King,” were followed by the singing o f “God Save Our Gracious King.” February 24, 3:20 p.m. “FATHERS OF CONFEDERATION” The banquet of the “Fathers of Con¬ federation” at Charlottetown was pre¬ sented by the girls of Room 37, under the direction of Miss Garland and Hope Rutherford. The fathers represented were: Col. Gray, Mr. MacDonald, John¬ son, Archibald, Haviland, Cartier, Brecken, and Dr. Tupper. The girls de¬ serve credit for their dialect and for their fine delivery. The entertainment lent a greater interest to the Cana¬ dian History. February 28 and March 3, 3:20 p.m. “OLIVER CROMWELL” Room 26 and 38 presented the first scene of Drinkwater’s play, “Oliver Cromwell,” to some of the students. The characters were very well por¬ trayed and the play was made all the more enjoyable by the fact that the audience was familiar with the text. The play showed a splendid and ac¬ curate vision of the times and helped the students to understand the value of Drinkwater’s art. The play was produced by Miss McBeth. April 23, 10:00 a.m. Mr. W. Bailey, who is giving a series of lectures on temperance education, visited Kelvin Wednesday, and spoke twice—once to the Grade XI students and once to those in Grade X. Mr. Bailey was a teacher at Kelvin in the early days of the school. He diagrammed a man’s head to show how alcohol paralyses the brain and reduces a man to the status of a monkey, which has no forehead and, accordingly, a very small brain. He said a man under the influence of liquor is most dangerous when he has taken just enough to deaden the brain slight¬ ly. Mr. Bailey’s talk was well re¬ ceived by his audience. February 21, 3:20 p.m. DEBATE The girls of Room 14 held the second debate of the year in the auditorium. The debate was, “Resolved that the American Colonies were justified in declaring their Independence.” Those taking part were Diane Raymond, Mary Evans, and Queenie Cheater for the negative, and Kay Gallagher, Sheila Barbour, and Kay Jackson for the af¬ firmative. The debate was won by the negative. March 16, 3:20 p.m. The second Canadian History debate, held in the auditorium, was, “Resolved that Joseph Howe was justified in op¬ posing the B.N.A. Act.” Bunny Craw¬ ford and Jack Bright, of Room 34, bril¬ liantly upheld the affirmative, while Don MacKay and Walter Lindal, of Room 38, presented an interesting argu¬ ment for the negative. The adjudica¬ tion was given by Mr. Scurfield, and the affirmative won by a very small major¬ ity. May 6, 3:20 p.m. DR. PATTERSON’S LECTURE On Wednesday, May 6, the boys of the school assembled in the auditorium to hear a lecture delivered by Dr. George S. Patterson, National Boy’s Work Secretary of the Y.M.C.A. Dr. Patterson told of the customs observed by Japanese schoolboys, such as their use of uniforms in everyday life and their ideas regarding responsi¬ bility. He also gave us a very in¬ teresting cross section of Japanese national life and customs. GOVERNOR-GENERAL ' S MEDAL This medal is given on the principle of the Rhodes’ Scholarship.

He found two classes sewing on garments for themselves in a large bright room. One, a Grade X class under the direc¬ tion of Miss Greenway, was working on spring and summer suits. The other, a Grade XI, was making party dresses, and the lovely pastel shades made the room look like a flower garden. The in¬ structor, Miss Perry, informed him that these girls were more advanced, studied their particular type, and then from a basic pattern designed a large part of their dresses. In the accompanying pic¬ tures we see various stages of develop¬ ment, while the last one shows one of the completed ensembles. Every girl but one who was interviewed intends wearing her dress at graduation ex¬ ercises. In another Household Arts room he found a class being instructed in Millinery by Miss Harper. The girls were designing hats to go with the dresses they were making in the other room. The third picture shows a girl blocking her hat in order to give it the desired shape. The extile work which along with laundry is taught in this room, includes a study of all the fabrics and materials, how they are made, and the content of their yarns. In the Domestic Science room our reporter discovered how much work 35 hKs really goes into the baking of a cake, and these pictures show the various steps in the intricate process. This year to aid the girls in their work, new elec¬ trical equipment has been installed, in place of gas. It includes a range, two ovens, and twenty-four hot plates, one at each girl’s place. The room as a re¬ sult of this change is a much more healthy place in which to work. Plants can now be grown successfully, and electricity does away with the diffi¬ culty of accounting for the rapid and sometimes mysterious disappearance of matches. The reporter was told that under the direction of Miss Stewart, the girls’ work includes the study of nutrition, the different types of diets, and everything pertaining to the man¬ agement of the home. We join with our reporter in feeling that the girls in the school are very for¬ tunate in receiving instruction in Prac¬ tical Arts. Think what an advantage they will have when they come to seek positions as dressmakers, designers, dietitians, nurses, or teachers of Home Economics. They will be able to dress with taste and economy, and to have a knowledge not only of cooking, and of the management of a household, but also of fabrics they will use for their clothing, and in their homes.

S.—ch, we love you so, there’s no other place like you, You’re the fairest, you’re the rarest place in all the world, You inspire us through and through. K. T. H. S., K. T. H. S., we’ll remember you, we’ll remember our friends ever true; Here’s to boys and girls, and teachers, here’s to every one, K. T. H. S, here’s to YOU! 36 hKs AMBITION’S TRAIL “If all the end of this continuous striving Were simply to attain, H ow poor would seem the planning and contriving, The endless urging and the hurried driving Of body, heart and brain! “But ever in the wake of true achieving There shines this glorious trail— Some other soul will be spurred on, conveiving New strength and hope, in its own power believing, Because thou dost not fail. “Not thine alone the glory, nor the sorrow If thou dost miss the goal, Undreamed of lives in many a tomorrow From thee their weakness or their force shall borrow. On, on, ambitious soul!” Many thanks for the fine spirit and co-operation shown by our girls in all our P-. T. activities, this year. May the “trail” of each graduating Kelvinite be indeed “glorious.” Sincerely yours, INTER-HIGH BASKETBALL This year, the Inter-High School Bas¬ ketball trophies were not competed for but a number of scheduled games were played in which our Kelvin team had tw o friendly games with Daniel Mc¬ Intyre and two with St. John’s, Kelvin being the victor at each game. Under Mr. Kerr’s expert coaching, the team was also able to defeat “Wesley Col¬ lege” and “Northern Lights” but were not so fortunate when playing the “Suc¬ cess Grads” and the “Blue Eagles.” Great interest was aroused in the try¬ outs and a splendid composite school team chosen from both Grades X and XI. During the term the Junior play¬ ers had a fine game with the cor¬ responding team from Gordon Bell, though they met with defeat. The Sen¬ iors, however’ managed to uphold their Marjorie A. Hoole. Kelvin colors when they played against the Gordon Bell Seniors. An added pleasure for the Juniors was a fine game played at Robert H. Smith against that school’s basketball team. Line-up—Seniors: Eileen Keenan —Our snappy little for¬ ward. A fine shot and a fast player. “Gerry” Beattie —Our other forward. A good shot and an asset to any team. Eileen McKibbin— Our centre. “Kib- bie,” an old hand at the game and can hold her own. Betty Slocomb—A husky guard, a de¬ fence that proves disastrous to the opponents. Bessie Cruickshanks (Captain) —Al¬ ways where she’s needed; plays guard or forward equally well, and shows great team work. 37 hKs Melba Buchanan, Ailsa Martin, Shir¬ ley Johnston, Joan Richardson —Al¬ ways on hand and a great help to the team. Line-up—Juniors: Anna Ruth Finlayson (Captain)—Our star forward and a real scrapper. Enid Page —Other forward. Our Jun¬ ior’s sharpshooter and swift passer. Kathleen Jackson— Centre. Plays well and has worked hard in all the games. Helen Warrington — Guard. A real fighter and a good shot. Margaret Munro— Guard. Splendid de¬ fence. Fast. Sure. Kay Avent, Marjorie Ross, Doris Mar- ter, Marion Beattie, Mary Ingram, Nellie Jones, Gladys Rayment, Wil¬ ma Keenan, Jean Drummond, Vivian Pink— Substitutes. All very depend¬ able players. The team wishes to express its ap¬ preciation to Miss Hoole, Manager, and to Mr. Kerr, Coach of the team. E. G. McK. INTER-ROOM BASKETBALL The inter-room basketball schedule was run off again this year very smoothly. Both the Grade X and XI room teams were well matched. Room 26 won both the Senior schedule and the School Championship. Room 27 were the victors in the Grade X schedule but lost to 26 with a score of 15-6. The Senior runner-up was Room 37, and the Junior, Room 14. E. C. M. SENIOR BASKETBALL Standing —A. Martin, C. Kerr (Coach), E. McKibbin G. Beattie, M. Hoole (Manager), S. Johnston. Sitting —M.

INTER-HIGH VOLLEYBALL This year, as last, our Kelvin School team consisted of both Grade X and XI girls. The Inter-High schedule was made up of friendly games in which our girls defeated Daniel McIntyre and St. John’s in hard-fought victories, but as in pre¬ vious years, were unable to conquer the Isaac Newton team. All our girls played exceptionally well. The team consisted of: Bessie Cruick- shank (Captain), Melba Buchanan, Margaret Dunlop, Marion Beattie, Eva Graceffo, Mary Ingram, Margaret Mc- Keown, Eileen McKibbin, Joey Petrie. All the girls wish to thank Miss Hoole for her splendid assistance as coach. INTER-ROOM VOLLEBALL Two volleyball series were run off this year, an indoor and an outdoor. The outdoor schedule began shortly after school recommenced. Three games were played each noon and, with the Grade XI girls refereeing, the schedule proceeded without a break whenever the weather permitted. Rooms 40 and 26 “walked off” with the Junior and Senior championships respectively, both indoors and out, although they had a hard grind defeating Rooms 13 and 30. In the final game for the School cham¬ pionship, Room 26 lost to the Juniors, Room 40. SPEED SKATING The Kelvin girls were well repre¬ sented in the Annual Tribune School Races held in the Amphitheatre. Under the able coaching of Mr. Hughes our “Eleven Girls’ ” team, composed of Doris Miskelly, Margaret Grant, Elea¬ nor Grant and Joan Warwick, were suc¬ cessful in defeating all comers and win¬ ning the City and Suburban Champion¬ ships. The Grade X girls—Irene Wylie, Ida Gillingwater, Verna Turner and Annette Pyes—did very well also, placing third in the finals of the City Championship. J.W. 39 VOLLEYBALL Top—M. McKeowan, M.

Then came a day’s “let up,” just on the occa¬ sion of our Girls’ School Hike. Seven-thirty saw a stream of gaily colored winter togs arriving at Kelvin’s portals. By eight o’clock the kaleido¬ scopic array was complete and there¬ with a great surge forward occurred, sending out on the highways a perfect barrage of femininity. For an hour the procession massed the streets and roads, leaving bewildered autoists wondering whether to go over, under or round. Very few of the trek- kers missed the enfolding arms of sur¬ rounding snowbanks and all returned with rosy cheeks and considerably less vocal power. Incidentally, will 37 ever forget “Mary Shemiski,” as seen under the first lamp post! Have a doughnut—have two—have as many as you please. (As a matter of fact, the latter is just what certain male members of the Operetta cast did have next morning.) The refreshment ar¬ rangements were all that could be de¬ sired and how we enjoyed the food! Dancing and stunts completed the evening’s enjoyment. We went to Lon¬ don Zoo with the Ramsbottoms, found that “Annie doesn’t live here any more,” etc., etc. Many of the stunts were orig¬ inal, and all most entertaining, especi¬ ally the moving tale of “Faithless Nellie Gray,” giving us a spectacle of our teachers in their off moments. But all good things must come to an end. The program finished, we again donned outdoor garb and with a happy “Goodbye” started for home. DANCING DISPLAY During “Health Week,” sponsored last October by the Back-to-the-Land Assistance Association and held in the Civic Auditorium, some forty of Kelvin’s girls gave a number of dances as their part of the program. The preparing and presenting of “Kemp’s Jige,” “New- castle,” “The Foula Reel,” and “The Double Eight some Reel,” was thorough¬ ly enjoyed by all and proved an added attraction to the evening’s entertain¬ ment. TUNIC RESULTS This year added interest was given to the tunic-wearing inter-room competi¬ tion when ribbons were awarded each month to those with 100%. A grand total was taken at the end of the sea¬ son and the ten rooms with the highest average are as follows: 1. Room 14 _ 100 % 2. Room 25 ___ 100 % 3. Room 37 _. 99y3% 4. Room 26 _ 98%% 5.

Close behind, with 14% points, came Rocm 13. K ELVIN Field Day, 1936, was one of the most successful of recent years. The general enthusiasm, together with the large number of entries for all events, augurs well for the future success of our local meet. Room 38, in winning the Inter-Class Shield, after two years of determined effort, has demonstrated to the rest of the school what real sportsmanship, organization, and class spirit can accomplish. Well done “38”! In the realm of Inter-High sports, perhaps the less said the better. The past year has proven beyond doubt the absolute futility of half-baked schedules re¬ sulting from the application of a so-called “new deal” in Inter-High activities. The meagre attendance at all games, the utter lack of enthusiasm displayed by the students, and the fact that not a single schedule was completed during the year, should surely serve as a warning that only a return to the sanity of organized sport can save the Inter-High situation from the state of chaoe, confusion and ridicule it is experiencing today! In passing, I must warn the boys of Kelvin that in future they must assume more of the responsibility themselves in the preparation for Inter-High Field Day. This event is a “students’,” not a “teachers’,” Field Day and all boys will do well to keep this thought in mind, particularly at the beginning of the new term when they are electing their sports’ captains for the coming school year. May I extend my appreciation and thanks to all teachers and students who have assisted in maintaining Kelvin’s prestige in the realm of sport during the past year. V. H. Essery.

Probably due to Mr. Wharton’s continued success as a coach, Kelvin again annexed the league championship. At the begin¬ ning of the season the first practice took place, and although the players didn’t all appear to be stars, they apparently satisfied Mr. Wharton. A fairly smooth team had been assembled by the Christmas Holidays. During the holi¬ days the Manitoba High School Hockey Tournament was held. In this event Kelvin was decisively defeated by St. John’s. When the High School League started Kelvin immediately proved its ability, defeating St. John’s by a large margin. Following this victory the team chalked up wins against Gordon Bell, Daniel McIntyre, Isaac Newton, and St. John’s again. Kelvin was defeated only once, losing to Daniel McIntyre. This is the third year in a row, and the eighth time in the last ten years that Kelvin has won the High School Hockey League championship. Jack Corbett, 12. 44 MR.

HOCKEY TEAM On defence is Hal McBride, Takes knocks and shocks all in his stride, Checks the others with a bang, Amid the cheers of Kelvin gang. Defenceman is our Tim O’Connor. When he checks ’em they’re a gonner; Down the ice he sure can tear, Roarin’ through without a care. Efficient goalie, is our Bob, Opposing forwards he does rob, Of the goals they’d counted on, All their hopes of victory gone. Hughie Williams, blonde, though shy, Down the ice he sure does fly, Through defencemen large and strong, Never a play he makes that’s wrong. A1 McDonald surely can Uphold the honor of his clan; He is smart and very witty, That is why I wrote this ditty. Centre man is Benny Coyle, All other centres, he does foil, Plays a fast, exciting game, In hockey—“Coyle’s” a well-known name. Suddie, as a forward smart, Nearly tears the net apart, Once he ’s going, can’t be stopped, All other players he has topped. Young Tommy Wheeler plays left-wing, And we his praises loud do sing When down the ice a-racing goes— Keeps other teams right on their toes. When Bob Gordon is away, Bud Lang comes to save the day, By protecting Kelvin’s net; Into the goal no puck he’ll let. When Jack Atcheson flashes past, All the crowd are quite aghast— For we know he’s sure to score, Bringing vict’ry to Kelvin’s door. Sammy Southern stops them all, For he’s defenceman, strong and tall, The few who dare to try and pass, Are always sure to have a crash. When Corbett down the ice does race. At a fast and furious pace, Around defencemen he will slip And into the net the puck he’ll flip. These are the lads that make up the team, They’re very good boys, so I’ll make this my theme— K. T.

INTER-ROOM HOCKEY This year inter-room hockey con¬ tributed greatly towards creating a room spirit. There were sixteen teams ar¬ ranged in three groups, so that each team played six games. As has been usual, the games took place at the Amphitheatre Rink on Saturday morn¬ ings from November 30th to March 21st inclusive. Although the team fee was raised from seven to ten dollars this season, at least one hundred and sixty boys arose early on Saturdays to go down to the rink for a friendly mix-up. In the Grade XI section, Room 21 met Room 31 in the final. The former won a two-game total goal series 5-4. Room 28 won the Grade X division by defeating Room 36 by a score of 4-0. In the school final Room 28 met 21. The game was an exciting battle from start to finish, with Room 28 furnishing a mild surprise by winning 3-2. Willi¬ ams and McBride were outstanding for Room 28, each getting a goal and play¬ ing fine defensive games. Dunne ac¬ counted for the third marker, capitaliz¬ ing on Peever’s rebound. Room 21’s marksmen were Rogers and Laidlaw. Mr. Wharton gave his time generously to referee the games, and manage things generally. I am sure the boys are grateful to him. Ron Musgrove, 34. 46 RUGBY When Mr. Kerr, our manager, sent out the call for candidates he was disap¬ pointed in the answer. Only four of last year’s regulars turned out, and only eight from the prev ious year’s team were in uniform. The first major set¬ back was the news that there was to be no regular league. Howover, we started off with a game against St. Paul’s. Coach Stuart did his best to whip the green material into shape but the Paulines’ longer training counted, the fighting Kelvin aggrega- tinon succumbing to a powerful team by 17-5. A week later Kelvin found she had lost the services of Rick Tibbs, stellar halfback, but went on to beat Daniel McIntyre 7-1. The next game was a natural. In this game fine coach¬ ing came to the fore and the team out- gamed a fighting Gordon Bell team to the tune of 11-1. To wind up the sea¬ son Kelvin travelled to Kenora, where they lost the game by the score of 8-0. A good foundation has been made for next year’ steam and we that are gradu¬ ating wish them the best of luck. We also wish to give thanks to Mr. Kerr for the way he handled the team, and Connie Stuart for his fine coaching. Jim Mitchell, 38. INTER-HIGH FOOTBALL The Kelvin football team was not successful, but showed all-round sports¬ manship during the season, and in several instances showed football of championship calibre. Of the four games played, the most exciting was that with St. John’s. In many instance St. John’s team pressed hard, but was outwitted by the defence men and the goalie. The game was played on Kelvin’s home grounds and ended in a 2-0 score. The team was ably coached by Mr. Cochrane, assisted by Mr. Hughes, who spent many hours in teaching the team the fundamentals of the game. We very much appreciated their coaching. George McKay, 34.

INTER-ROOM FOOTBALL Due to the disbanding of the Inter- High School League, interest ran very high in the inter-room games, the re¬ sult bringing about a high standard of play and many keen games. In both grades the crowns again changed hands, Room 21 capturing the Grade XI banner by defeating Room 12 by the small margin of 1-0. In Grade X, Room 28 defeated Room 3 after a hard- fought game 4-3 to capture the Grade X banner. In the playoff Room 21 proved much too powerful for Room 28, defeating them by the decisive score of 4-0, bring¬ ing the banner once again to “21.” We owe a vote of thanks to the teach¬ ers who gave their time officiating the numerous games, especially to Mr. Cochrane, who spent much of his time organizing and running the league. Tim O’Connor, 21. SPEED SKATING Shouts, yells and cheers and another annual schools’ skating races were un¬ derway. Nearly all the schools of Win¬ nipeg were represented. Kelvin turned out two of the strongest boys’ teams in years. With the Amphitheatre ice gleaming like crystal and a crowd of 5,000 yelling at the tops of their voices, the Grade XI team won the City Cham¬ pionship. However, one week later the boys were defeated in the city and sub¬ urban finals when one of them fell. The team consisted of Ben Coyle, George McKay, Bob Wilcox and Allan Mac¬ Donald. The Grade X team was not as suc¬ cessful as the XI’s. The team came in third but is determined to win out next year. Much credit goes to Mr. Hughes, who coached both teams, also to Mr. Flatt. who assisted. Dick Ireland, 33. 48 SENIOR SKATING B. Coyle, R. Wilcox, R. Murray, G. McKay, A. Macdonald, Mr. J. S.

The fellows came through with five wins out of six games played. The victory went to St. Paul’s by a margin of one point. The team started out with a bang by defeating Toiler Juniors. Gordon Bell, our great rival, was vanquished next. Varsity Juniors and Wesley, two strong teams, were the next victims of our sharpshooters. Another win over Gor¬ don Bell climaxed a short but successful season. Jack Neal, one of Winnipeg’s basket¬ ball finds of the year, coached the team to great advantage. The young Toiler star looked after the pivot position as well. Slaney and Main completed the regular forward line. Dave Corbett, McManus and Crawford also proved to be useful wingmen. Smith and Mc- Fadden were the regular guards, while Jack Corbett, Oesterreicher, and Ryan were also invaluable on defence. On behalf of the team I take this opportunity to thank Mr. Scurfield for his able managing. Lorne Main, 38. JUNIOR INTER-HIGH BASKETBALL This year there was no inter-high league, and as a result the Kelvin Junior basketball team played only five games. The record was not very good as only two games were won. Four of the games were against Gordon Bell, the other being with Daniel McIntyre. The first three games, all played against Gordon Bell, resulted in very close scores, with Kelvin winning two. The next game was lost to Daniel Mc¬ Intyre by a large margin, and the sea¬ son was ended disastrously by losing to Gordon Bell. The score in this game was 17-16. Members of the team were: John McManus —Centre. High scorer for season. Brent Prendergast — Forward. Good under the basket. Ed Christie —Forward. Hardest worker on team. Max Steele —Forward. Dangerous on long shots. Archie Hardie —Forward. Good defen¬ sively. “Whitey” Carson — Forward. Small, but always a threat. Joe Wlosek —Guard. Good playmaker. Doug MacGregor —Centre and Guard. Shark at free throws. Bob Wilcox —Guard. Fastest on team. Blake, Nicol, and Zimmerman —For¬ wards. Valuable substitutes. Tom Mackay —Guard. Fine defence- man. The team takes this opportunity of expressing their appreciation of Jack Neal’s fine coaching, and Mr. Well- wood’s sacrifice in giving his time and knowledge for our benefit. Tom Mackay, 38. INTER-ROOM BASKETBALL Due to the non-existence of an Inter- High Basketball League perhaps more interest was taken in inter-room com¬ petition this season than in any previ¬ ous year. Over one hundred and fifty boys took part in the long schedule pre¬ pared by Mr. Scurfield. Room 17 won the Grade X champion¬ ship by winning seven games and tieing one. In the school final they met Room 38, the Grade XI title-holders, in a “sudden death” game. Room 38 had won all its games with the exception of two which were lost to the Grade XII class. In the final game Room 38 de¬ feated Room 17 by the score of 33-6. Members of the Room 38 team were: Lorne Main (Captain), Dave Corbett, Ross Culley, Clarke Linvingston, Ed Christie, Brent Prendergast, Tom Mac¬ kay, Doug MacGregor, Jim Mitchell and Reesor Bingeman. This is the second year in succession Room 38 has won the banner. E. Oesterreicher. 25. 50 JUNIOR BASKETBALL J. Zimmerman, H. Nicol, D. MacGregor, J. Wlosek A. Hardy, B.

INTER-ROOM CURLING CHAMPIONS Standing —Wm. Acheson, Jim Doak. Sitting —Mr. Wellwood, Ken Affleck. 51 CURLING On Friday, March 13th, another School Curling schedule ended. As in preced¬ ing years at Kelvin, the game was en¬ thusiastically received. The male mem¬ bers of the teaching staff again acted as skips and offered hints to both begin¬ ners and more experienced curlers to add to their enjoyment of the game. This year’s schedule was exceedingly interesting. With but two games to play there were three rinks tied for top position, skipped by Mr. Essery, Mr. Wharton and Mr. Wellwood. It finally ended between Mr. Wellwood and Mr. Wharton. It was a coincidence that these two rinks met in the last game of the season. Mr. Wellwood then pro¬ ceeded to nose out Mr. Wharton who had previously defeated Mr. Essery. Due to some unknown reason the Inter-High Bonspiel did not take place this year. However, Kelvin was repre¬ sented in the Manitoba Junior Bon¬ spiel by several of the school curlers, who were unfortunately defeated in the Bonspiel’s early stages. On behalf of the curlers throughout the school I should like to extend thanks to the teachers for their help and en¬ couragement and hope that there may be more successful seasons, such as 1935-36.

FRENCH KELVIN L’ecole commerciale de Kelvin, fut batie en 1912, et nommee apres Lord Kelvin, un celebre scientiste anglais. C’est un grand batiment contenant trente-neuf salles d’etudes, oil beau- coup de sujets sont enseignes aux eleves. Ce qui est tres remarquable, est “l’esprit de corps” entre les professeurs et les etudiants. L’ecole de Kelvin contribue au monde, et au Canada une grande dona¬ tion en preparant et en enseignant aux eleves d’aujourd’hui, qui seront les hommes d’affaires de demain, a etre honnetes, industrieux, et capables de remplir d’importantes positions.

LA PIECE DE LA CLASSE “25” Le 6 mars la classe “25,” n’ecoutant que son courage et au mepris de sa propre vie a represente six scenes de la piece “Le Voyage de M. Perrichon.” D’ailleurs elle avait le courage singu- lier d’inviter les eleves des classes 12, 26, 34, 37, 38 et 39, a assister a cette representation. Quelques jeunes filles de la classe ont danse a ravir “Sur le Pont d ' Avigon” — une danse charmante. On applaudit de bon coeur, surtout quand Armand a fait un faux pas en entrant. Nous esperons que l’exemple des jeunes filles braves de “25” en- couragera les autres classes de repre¬ senter d’autres scenes de cette piece amusante. Jeanette Jauvois et Marjorie Webster, 25.

ENGLISH A ROMAN BOY A Roman father’s first duty to his boy, after lifting him up in his arms, in token that he was a true son of the house, was to furnish him with a first name out of the scanty list (just seven¬ teen) to which his choice was limited. This naming was done on the eighth day after birth and was accompanied by some religious ceremonies and to which kinsfolk were invited. Thus named, he was enrolled in some family or state register. A round plate of metal, called a “bulla,” was then hung around his neck to protect him from the evil eye. This he wore until he assumed the dress of manhood. He was nursed by his mother, or in any case by a free-born woman. It was his mother than had the exclusive charge of him for the first seven years of his life, and she had much to say about the ordering of his life after¬ wards, for unlike the women of Greece, they had a small part in affairs. At seven he began the education that was to make him a citizen and a soldier. Swimming, riding and throwing the javelin developed the strength of the boy. He learned at the same time to be frugal, temperate in eating and drink¬ ing, modest and seemly in behavior, reverent to his elders, obedient to au¬ thority at home and abroad, and, above all, to be pious towards the gods. —The Lantern.

Liebes Tagebuch, Ich habe angefangen Deutsch in der Schule zu lernen, und ich habe gefun- den, dass das Leben nicht wert zu le- ben ist. Die Deutschen sprechen „v” wie „f,” und „w” wie „v”; ihr „f” gleicht dem „s,” und alle Buchstaben sehen so komisch aus. Ich glaube, dass ich Deutsch aufgeben werde. Den 30. Juni, 1935. Liebes Tagebuch, Ich habe gefunden, dass Deutsch nicht so unangenehm ist, wie ich ge- dacht hatte. Die Buchstaben sehen jetzt nicht mehr so drollig aus, und ich habe nun Deutsch liebgewonnen. Die Deutschen haben drei Geschlechter. Sie nennen sie, ,,das,” „die,” und „der.” Mir kommt es sehr komisch vor, drei Geschlechter zu haben, weil ein Mad- chen “sachlich,” und eine Feder “weib- lich” ist. Ich denke, dass es nicht ziemlich ist, weil man nicht weiss, was man redet wenn man z.B. sagt, ,,Das Madchen mit seiner Feder, sie ist in den Schmutz gefallen”; und hier wissen wir nicht, was in den Schmutz gefallen ist, das Madchen oder die Feder. Sehen wir mal zu, was in dem nachsten Jahre geschehen wird. Den 20. Marz, 1936. Ach, Tagebuch, Ich habe jetzt eine schreckliche Zeit. Jetzt bin ich im Abgrund des Elends. Heute haben wir eine neue Lektion. Sie behandelte die trennbaren Vorsil- ben. Diese Vorsilbe trennt man vom Zeitwort und stellt sie an das Ende des Satzes, z.B., „Er setzte den Hut auf.” Das Wort „auf” ist die trennbare Vor¬ silbe. Diese Satze sind oft so sehr schwer, dass man sie nur mit Miihe richtig macht. Den 30. Juni, 1936. Liebes, liebes Tagebuch, Das Ende des Jahres ist hier, und ich freue mich sehr, dass ich in der Priifung durchgekommen bin.

Jedenfalls, mit Hilfe unserer Lehrerin, Fraulein McGregor, sind wir in der Priifung durchgekommen. Ende gut, alles gut.

That’s right, we’re not! With our captivating pupils, who can always work and play? That’s right, we’re not! That’s right, we’re not! Then, if you will kindly watch us for about a week or so, Keep you eye on our ball games, which are never very slow; We are sure that your affection you will cheerfully bestow. We hope that’s what you’ll do! Refrain: When you know us, you’ll love us, like all the rest: North and South, just the same as the East or West; Others offer their hearts to us every day. And they sigh for us! They would die for us! We have such an attractive way. 59 hKs Perhaps of our adventures you would like to hear a few? O, yes! Do tell! O, yes! Do tell! How we won the basketball, and out door volleyball game, too? Go on! Well, well! Go on! Well, well! There are ribbons on our notice board, to tell of tunics worn, For our pupils wear them every day, to keep our room from scorn So we entertain the notion you’ll be glad that we w ere born—■ We hope that’s what you’ll do! Refrain: Perhaps of our performances, in public you would hear? O, yes! Do tell! O, yes! Do tell! In our dramas and our musicals, we can’t be beat, that’s clear. Go on! Well, well! Go on! Well, well! For we’ve charmed the pupils in this school and others far and near! So if you will kindly keep your eyes on smart Room 26— We have plenty we can teach you, for we’re seldom in a fix, We hope that’s what we’ll do. Refrain: Edith Baker, Mary Balcom, Winnifred Telford.

ROOM 12 C LOSE to three dozen “back-for- morers” showed up in Room 12 to take the extension course, and although our ranks were decreased from time to time, the majority are still with us. We elected officers, and after much juggling of ballots, found that Jack Neal was president; Gwen Lewis, vice-president; Sam Findlay, secretary-treasurer, and Frances McGuire and Jack Corbett, sports captains. Our football team, which varied from three to eleven play¬ ers, got into the Grade XI football finals, with Corbett and Howie Wood playing for the school team; while these two, aided by Broderick and Gallagher, represented us on the rugby squad. Our hockey team went through the season with only one loss, but it turned out to be one too many. However, the boys really bore down in basketball and went through the league undefeated (for reference, see Room 38), while Neal, Smith, Slaney, and Corbett were the backbone of the school team. School holds no dull moment for us, for any day we may see: Miller writing poetry; Hope Rutherford, our knitting librarian; Hamilton working crossword puzzles, or Broderick coming late, and Woods about fifteen minutes later, or perhaps, Smith, McClintock, or McCall might drop in. Or listen in on Olive Dundee’s piano playing, or hear Swan¬ son’s puns and the wild laughter of Fanson, or Nellie Hughes, Dot Hall, and Marg. Rowe whispering. We really enjoy watching Corbett try on rubbers, Sam Findlay worrying (maybe he can’t balance our budget), Bob Liddle enjoy¬ ing English, Gwen Lewis unlocking doors, and Brown and Beaufoy fighting. Among other celebrities in our class are: Mary McFarlane and Peggy Mc¬ Cracken, the hello girls! Ted Davis, with his football mustache (eleven on each 61 hKs side), Doris McDonald, the silent one; Anderson, photography is a snap to him; Ray Slaney, who recently left us for the realms of high finance; Peggy, who Ames at a typing record; Len Bate¬ man, bike rider de luxe; Book, Bate¬ man’s buddy; Frances McGuire, high jumper, and Nancy Farish, Marg. Car- ruthers, and Betty Wilson—just try and keep this trio apart. MUSIC (Continued from page 29) Congratulations to: 1. Norman Kendall and Margaret Ball—2nd in the Junior Vocal Duet. 2.

ELEGY WRITTEN ON ROOM 25 Far from the madding crowds ignoble strife, Beside the office on the second floor, Wherein the drowsy Milton’s come to life, We now repeat our room’s historic lore. Now fades the glimmering Virgil, Before Woodrow’s dreamy eyes, And now the foggy Caesar, As vainly Evelyn tries. But Arthur, Bill, and Ted In Latin do excel As Marjorie, Blanche, and Mary, Their French enact so well. Of hockey honors Tom can broast, Blake of checkers and chess, At basketball Archie assists the most, Efram scores with finesse. The breezy entrance of Audrey Inevitably late in the morn, The twittering puns of Genevieve, Make Miss Mackenzie forlorn. Often to homework does Joe’s brain yield, While Claire and Jeanette attend the shows, As for Gwen and Vera in this field, As Winnie would say, “One never knows.” President Ruth and Debator Doak Invariably take their stands, The former with quiet wisdom, The latter with waving hands. Our room also has its busy bees, Joyce, Annie, Jean and Beverley, Frances and Flora in Chemistry please, Nessie, Pat, Vivienne great singers will be. Fond of curling, good in sports, A Scotchman every inch, Is Betty called “Soupy” by her friends, As sports captain, she’s a cinch. In the French play the two Helen’s Bernice played a daughter so sweet, Graham, as a porter was a riot, All making that French play a treat. Hazel and Margaret love Algebra, But often wonder if they’ll pass, (Continued on page 72) 67 A COLLEGE of DISTINCTION Associate with Young Men and Young Women with High Ideals Environment A modern College of Commerce in a modern office building, equipped and staffed to effectively train well- educated young men and women of the right business type for business careers.

As president, Dallas is the best, To her we give the crown, For treasurer and vice, we’re blest With Violet S. and Myrtle Brown. Jennie’s always on the go, She keeps the class in line. If both the Olgas you should know, We’re sure you’d like them fine. Evelyn Wilcock and Olive, too, The brainiest in the class, With Margaret S. and Gertrude, Are very sure to pass. Thelma and Mildred are sweet and small, Winnie and Barbara excel at art, Mary, who’s tall, plays basketball, And all are ready to do their part.

Nan Chisholm, a bonny Scotch lass; And Rita Haines are certainly nice, And two of the j oiliest girls in the class Are Phyllis Ringel and Tibbie For¬ dyce. There’s Evelyn, Dot, and Violet Caie Who always pal around. And Dorothy Weston and Jean, you may Be sure, together are always found. Both Violet’s blond hair and Florence’s red, We’re sure would win a second look, And Luella Foster we’ve heard it said Has proved to be a wonderful cook.

Viola Morton, our modern lass, Heads in posture all the class. Mae O’Malley, our Irish belle, In her History she excels. Joey Petrie is fond of sports, For, as we know, she’s a jolly good sort. Ethel Ross, so neat and prim, Is lucky , to be made so slim. Margaret Sillers, so mild and meek, Just sits quiet in her seat. Donna Smith, our green-eyed beauty, Always does the teacher’s duty. Elsie Whyddon, president of our girls, Worries her poor head over her curls. Dr. Willoughby, of fame renown, We’ll never, never let him down. To Miss Thompson we offer our most sincere thanks for the many helpful suggestions rendered to us by her. To the future pupils of 31, we wish the greatest success and happiness.

Then seeing Janet, Sheila, give the bird, Or Peg and Helen shoot, opponents quelling, Such speed and splendor, seeming ease absurd, Or Barbara skate, defy unvarnished telling. Forgive then the parents whose spirits are proud And echo the praises here chanted aloud. ROOM 30 (Continued from page 69) Chrissie sees every hockey game; Marjorie is a pianist grand.

LITTLE BUSINESS COLLEGE HOCKE TEAM ALL STARS This picture was taken dur¬ ing the winter of 1919-20, When “Red” Dutton and his team-mates were winning games for the Dominion Business College. Follow¬ ers of Canada’s national sport are all familiar with Dutton’s name, which has grown to mean stellar hockey, and each one of these young men has at¬ tained distinction in his own way. Sports, splendid as they are, do not obscure the aim and policy of the Dominion —to produce the finest and most competent business men and women. As a re¬ sult, Dominion graduates for over twenty-five years have been achieving stellar things in commercial life.

Marion J. with mirth is blest, And Gladys C., the usual jest; Whilst Margaret D. will always be To sport and fun the golden key Make me doorkeeper Doris near, Or ride with Phyllis in the clear, Yet with Margaret I could skate, Unless, like Jessie, I’m too late. If with brains I’m not endowed, Like Olive or Allison think out loud, I hearken when our Lila sings, And watch when Ruth puts on her things. Dorothy is to sport the seed, Marcia shines when you mention speed. Barbara, why, she’d paint a lily, But one to try, her name is Healy. Many’s the blonde can’t make pie, Shirley and Madeline won’t need to try. A dark horse, Bessie, I should say, And bet on Joan or lose your pay. Charlotte, too, she knows the ropes, Olive is best of hopes (soaps). Alice Jean will remember best, Whilst Kay is known to stand the test. When Allison dives you gaze in wonder. Muriel, she could laugh at thunder. Two of a kind beat Ace, King, Jack, That’s Peggy G. and Muriel Mack. Pamela S., you shall not weaken, Like Edith J. you’re still unbeaten. And if there’s anything in a name We’ll hear from Melba, always game. 79 hKs What matters if Ursula B., Margaret H.

Fox is a student who studies Latin, Bedson, a Frenchman, comes from Manhatten. David, the singer, is a future “Crooks,” Mumford, the historian, studies from books.

Archie and Sandy “Follow the Fleet,” Hobkirk, the silent, keeps his seat. Morton, our President, keeps the chair, McLean, Secretary, tears his hair.

A few of the boys woke up once in a while to have a game of either football, hockey or basketball. Although we had no outstanding stars, our teams played some creditable games. They came second both in football and hockey. The boys were third in bas¬ ketball, also. Some of the outstanding were: Sutherland, Hughes, Byron, Rob¬ erts, Babcock, Forbes, Shoell, Stone, Hcrton, and Alderdice. 83 Another . . . KELVIN YEAR BOOK A RECORD of pleasant events and friendship, made more valuable by the illustrations—pictures that will last as long as the book lasts, recalling happy past days at Kelvin and providing matter of interest and amusement in the years to come. Long experience in the preparation of Year Book engravings and art has made us leaders in Western Canada in this class of work and at any and all times we deem it a privilege to offer advice and service to the Editorial Staffs of School periodicals.

Boyd, who can’t yodel at all, Can always give us the old hog-call. Babcock is our fast speed-skater, Who always skates in a bit later. We wish to thank Mr. Flatt and the teachers of our course who have taught us through the term, hoping we will be with them again next year. ROOM 13 THE 13th TROOP OF KELVINITES Salute the 13th Troop of Kelvinites! Mr. Wellwood is our General, And Emily Page our Colonel; And with Norma as our Captain dashing, Everyone says our troop bears watching. The clock chimes nine, Left! Right! Mark time! In dash Maggie, Molly, and Kay, Followed by Wilma, Pat, and, Renee. Onward merrily swinging Into our class of Typing. Where the tick-tack-tack of the enemy guns Is silenced by our soldier puns. Forward march, to meet the foe! Into Geometry we go. Hemmed in by proofs and propositions, Deductions and definitions. We lose Betty, Marge, and Lois, Followed by Rae, Blanche, and Phyllis. A brave stand does Vera make, But Helen and Betty are not awake And a hasty retreat we are forced to make. Left! Right! On to tackle History. Which to us is such a mystery. Battling bravely with Cromwell at Naseby We lose Violet, Joan, and Audrey. Forward, march! On to tackle French, And here the enemy we quench. Betty-Jane, Eileen, Myrt, and Norma, Dorothy, Mary, Ruth, and Stella, All working together with Marg. and Louise Conquer the enemy with surprising ease. Back from No Man’s Land, we miss Margaret, Aldous, Joyce, and Phyllis. Left! Right! Forward march! Back to barracks we gaily go. But here some privates meet with woe: The General booms, Betty, Joan, and Pat B., Remain behind as a penalty. The Jeans, Vivian, and Helen N. Do for me questions five to ten. Company, about turn, and dismiss! The Special tomorrow don’t you miss. And this ends a day of troublesome fights For the 13th Troop of Kelvinites. ROOM 14 HEARD AND SEEN IN ROOM FOURTEEN Let’s pretend we’re an army. We present our General, Cross. Quite a peculiar general, For he doesn’t ride a hoss. Presenting now our officers. (They’re all in a mess) — Mary, Ruth, Queenie, Kay, and Peg. A fine staff? Well, I guess! This army’s got a “Barbour,” Miss Sheila is her name.

From out our book of good deeds, Don’t forget the athletic “Page.” Our very brisk court-“Marshall’ Is never in a rage. We’ve got a brand new “Philly,” From the “Camerons” she came. We’ve even got a “Colquette,” (She lives up to her name.) For cigars we’ve “Marguerite,” A very good brand, too. What’s “Moore,” good “ ’Evans,” John¬ ston Can figure skate. Can you? Then there’s E.

ROOM 15 A jolly room of girls are we, twenty-five in all. We come in different sizes, short and fat and tall. Kay Woods, who is our president, is working hard, no doubt, To keep good order in the room when teachers all are out. And she is helped by Dorothy J. in school work or in sport; We know we may depend on her to make us hold the fort. Dorothy D. and Helen F.—they warble like the lark— And Marguerite F. and Doris can skate all round the park. Julia and Fanny at maths, do quite excel, And Gladys, Bea, and Lorraine like to read and write and spell. Roberta’s favorite theme song, perhaps we shouldn’t quote, “Miss Thompson, I am sorry, I have forgot my note.” But when it comes to drawing, she can do very well; And Dorothy La Morie—her poems, too, are swell. At sports our stars are many—Dot, Helen, and McLeod. And Shirley knows her homework, of which we’re very proud. And Margaret and Helen can also hold their own Not only in their basketball, but also in a “pome.” When Luby calls aloud to Jean, the room begins to boom, And Ruth Laidlaw and Gertrude fear that dire may be their doom. Does Marguerite like cooking? Kathleen Smith can cook a. steak; And Emily, so quietly, can sweep and cook and bake. Now, all our space is taken, and we may say no more, Although we might write many books, and never one a bore.

Dear Mrs. Sweet: We are certainly having an eventful time on our trip south, and our Presi¬ dent, Geraldine, is having a difficult time, trying to keep us together. To begin with, Marion, Phyllis Davies, and Jane missed the train and had to come on later. At Vancouver, Betsy joined us. And here we are in Hollywood, though a slighly scattered class. Lois, Alice Keatinge, Clara, and Mar¬ garet are a delicate pink (sunburn)! Doris Simpson, our Treasurer, Edith Farish, Bernice, and Norma, our Vice- President, spend most of their time in the water. Betty Williams, Eileen, and Edith Bloomer are hairdressers for Greta Garbo. Nancy Parker, Mary, Grace, and Doris Smith got a small 89 part in a picture as the “Harmony Sis¬ ters.” And Milly, Audrey, and Phyllis Bouskill are manicurists for the most important stars—stars who have their clothes designed by Muriel, Winifred, and Marguerite. Ann, Elynore Sheard, Molly, and Dorothy have gone on to the fair at San Diego, while Kay, Made¬ line, Eleanor Grant, and Betty Pickup tap-dance at all the largest theatres. Emerald and Opal are keeping “Stepin Fetchit” busy. At present, Alice Hamil¬ ton, Donalda, and Irene are spending a few days at Herbert Marshall’s home. Wilma is still coming—on her bicycle! Nancy Bell and Helen, our Sports’ Cap¬ tain, are in bed sick—reason: too much fresh fruit! It is lovely here, and we are all hav¬ ing a grand time. Love from Room 22, Elith Agnew. ROOM 23 THE IDYLLERS OF ’23 The old order changeth, yielding place to new And so each year, new knights and maids so fair Arrive each fall to pass away the hours And rest at ease amid a gallant throng A galaxy of rulers, with such knights as Cochrane of historic fame, and Young (our work for him is such a shame), and P. G. at his desk. Doth sit and glare, and greet the sleepers with a a Cheery smile each morn, as late they come. Giants like Archie, midgets like Stutt, Noisemaking Bolton who is such a mutt. Mathematicians like Helen and Kay, just keep Our class teacher in trouble all day. Our desks were all broken, so new ones we found, But 2I’s paper just littered the ground. Bob Young’s famed for singing—and acting as well, In our play he showed how to dance with a belle. Reahil likes History, but his spelling is punk And Art Allen’s Geometry is surely the bunk. Viv. Campbell likes Maths., but Flor¬ ence can’t add (Sometimes a note goes home to one’s dad). Bob MacKay has the brains, and McKinnon the looks Their one trouble is—they’ve no use for their books. Frank Swanston is always the first of the knights And the maids of our room give him many delights. Still there’s Yaworsky, Thurlbeck, and Mott When they are silent they say quite a lot. Smith is quite Wylie and Keith is so Keen, No wonder chic Gerry thinks she is their Queen. Dopson and Hamilton still hang around, This room must for them in pleasure abound. Now, South-Ender Allen, whose pet word is “phooey,” Recites for his friends and his giant pal Buie. Adams quite often gets pains in his toes, Is away very often, as everyone knows. Bateman is chatty, Markham can’t spell, Maguire is too clever and Gillis works well. We’ve still Lady Jean and Lord Zily from afar, They have come just to see a street car. And so farewell, our labors now are all but o’er, And soon we pass—or fail—whatever fate decrees. We’ve had a pleasant year—god luck to all. The band of idyllers now is dissolved. hKs ROOM 24 Teacher - - Mr. Scurfield President _ . _Wesley Woolston Vice-President _ Frank Curry Secretary-Treasurer ... Jack Hammonds Sports’ Captain .. Donald Macdonald T HE boys of “24” made no mistake in mistake in their choice of class offic¬ ers, for the splendid class spirit was largely due to them. We wish also to pay tribute to the kindly but firm leadership of Mr. Scur¬ field, and to extend our thanks to all those other teachers who have helped to make the term 1935-36 a happy and successful one for all of us. Now, as ours is the History Room, we shall proceed to reveal to you certain future historical facts which will make Room 34 famous. What noted persons from Room 24 have become famous in the realm of: Q. Fiction and Story-telling? A. Munro, Sangster, and Thomas. Q. Hockey? A. Chislett and Macdonald. Q. Curling (MacDonald Brier win¬ ners, 1936)? A. Sharpies (skip), Thomas, de Sieyes, and Aldous. Q. Mathematics ,Einstein’s rival) ? A. Horton. Q. Aviation? A. Morley and Hooper. Q.

ROOM 27 KELVIN PRISON—CELL 27 Miss McGregor. Our Matron. Marion Kotchapaw and Mavis Curry— Our two capable Guards. T HIS year there were 42 on the chain gang, but six prisoners broke loose— these convicts by name are: Vivian Gilliland, Patsy Clare, Shirley Craig, Vera James, Eunice MacMurchy, and Peggy Redshaw. It would be appreci¬ ated if everyone kept an eye out for these jail-breakers. Our troubles all started in Florence when Drummond was caught by a Bob(b)y for stealing a Diamond from McGeachie and McKinnon’s. She was afraid she would Burn(s) in the electric chair, but with the Bray(ing) of her lawyers, Parjitt and Williams, and the kindness of Judge Henderson, she was able to get off with a Little sentence, as she was so Young. However, she escaped from the Black- well jail and changed her name to Smith. Having been taught swimming by Stewart, she swam across the ocean accompanied by Barnacles, Smails, or snails, or sum’pin, and other kinds of fish. Arriving in Canada she went through Warren and Morris on Beat¬ tie’s railroad, and, arriving in Winnipeg, she met Ateah wearing a Green dress and eating Bartlett’s pears in the Boyd building, while sitting on some of Wil¬ son’s furniture. Captain Reilly and her deputies, Minhinnick and Barry came and arrested her, but not before she Kickley Perkins. When she was taken back to jail she met some of her old pals, Johnston, Clarke and Briggs, in the detention room, because they were late for roll call. P.S.—Cell 27 carried off the Basket¬ ball Championship of Grade X, of which 91 we are justly proud. Special thanks are dedicated to Miss McGregor, our ma¬ tron, for her kind consideration to us throughout the year. ROOM 28 A bunch of the boys from twenty-eight, With Broughton at Brookings kept a date. There was Cairns so short and Clarke so tall And Cunningham who wrote that ter¬ rible scrawl. And after all the work was Dunne, Came Dubka with no fees or mon’, Then Graham who got out at five to four And Mickey who never met him once to the door; Eddie Hrycaiko who studied in shops With Huggan, thought they were the “tops.” Hughson who left—he works at Zellers, Then Keir, among the best of us fellers. Mann, underweight, to look like a pole, Took out McBride who ne’er scored a goal. McFet in heaven, where the harps will Play, While for throwing rocks you can’t beat McKay. McNeil we saw once in a while, Molloy cleaned the boards in elegant style. Mickinski talked both long and loud, Mitchell with Stan would get the gong. Patrick, whose face we never could see, The late Mr. Peever, who else could it be? And Reid with his glasses, helping poor Smith To always do spelling and even arith. Stewart, whose hobby is gathering “ads,” Sees Wardrop always smoking his Grads. Behind the corner, but never with Wells, While Williams in hockey takes all the bells. Last, but not least, is Wilson so ill, This we hope will be your fill. ROOM 32 OOM 32 is on the air! The time is 9:05. Mr. Jefferson has just left the room to put through a call to the home of David Scott. Kay McKibbin, Grand Master of the Brotherhood of Homework Borrowers, stretches an arm for Vice-President Verna’s bookkeeping homework. As usua l, Nelson starts the trouble-— this time by pulling Leslie Walker’s seat from under him as he sits down. Around Reta Wilcox a group has gathered to hear Reta tell how she gets out of it (school and homework). Most eager of listeners are Kay Jackson, Naomi, Margaret, Stella, Irene, and Myrtle. For a moment the spotlight plays on President McManus and Sportsman Dubek. It shows them to be arguing again. The subject of debate, ladies and gentlemen, is the method of play¬ ing basketball in China. To an audience of Bettes, Paul, Sha¬ nahan, Walker, and McGregor, Mike Mess tells of the wonders of the Ford car; while Cecile (to Thelma, Agnes Madeline, Marjorie, Louise, Sabina, Kate and a deuce of Olgas) tells of a cow’s affection. Among the room’s most dependable students are: Edna Singleton (G.S.C.), Roberts, Kell, Turner, Sones (the art¬ ist) , Oke, and Krause. Eager listeners, the gas is being shut off. Your announcer, John Cox, bids you adios. Room Teams Girls’ Volleyball —Singleton, Jackson, Mackenzie, Blair, Foster, Greig.

Basketball —McManus, Dubec, Walker, Kell, Roberts, Nelson, Cox. hKs ROOM 33 T being near the end of the term, the boys of “33” decided to hold a fare¬ well party. Ireland, our president, got up and made a speech. “We’ll start the Ball rolling,” he said, “by going to the Cave for a nice dinner of Rossbeef, Green peas, and maybe some Wild- goose and Oldham.” Of course, every¬ one agreed, and McDougall said, “Wait till I get the Came, we’ll soon be there.” On the way it started to Ryan and Cravits was forced to Kerry an um¬ brella. Well, Peterson, they were at their destination and Winchester, the waiter came to take their order Every¬ one was happy. Ireland took his place at the head of the table. Smith, our vice-president, sat next to him. Then came Ryan, sports’ captain, and after him Moore, secretary-treasurer. Among those present were MacIntyre, Bexfield, Richards, Bronstein, Kofsky, and Trew- hitt. Langtry complained that the food tasted Minty and when McCurdy yelled “Hubie quiet, Langtry!” Langtry said he wouldn’t. Finally Ireland was forced to ask, “When will this Worby over?” Higgins said he would stand the cost, as he had lots of Jack. Before they broke up Phenix proposed a toast to them all. Graham and Hiram were so overcome that they broke down and wept. Ireland suggested that they in turn should Moxom speeches .“Dodds a good idea,” said Crozier. “I like people who Cooperate.” Swinton and Scho¬ field led the group in singing “Auld Lang Syne.” ROOM 35 A DAY WITH ROOM 35 First Period —A.M. OOM 35 divides for languages (united we stand, divided we sprawl). Second Period —A.M. In Room 32 Mr. Jefferson explains hemoglobin and other such gore to us. He informs Galbraith and McGibbon that the more noise the less work, etc. Third Period Back to Room 35. We now delve into “The mysteries of the past,” with Mr. Maxwell, D.D. (Drawer of Diagrams)! A pep talk is given to Weir, who has Glasier on his side. Mr. Maxwell’s side, Mr. Maxwell. Score, 0-0. Fourth Period Our capable teacher, Mr. Essery now enters and tries to drive the intricacies of geometrical problems into our thick skulls. Among our leading lights are: 1. Card Olson (Dim). 2. Enid Hermanson (Dimmer). 3. Irene Cohen (Very Dim). 4. Doris Marter (Completely Out). These are offset by our geniuses: Marjory Ross, Earnest Kemp, Winnie Davidson. Time out for lunch. First Pfriod—P.M. In Room 35 with Tennyson. Second Period Again we study as before. Third Period Again we bestow on our teacher our kind presence, but what kind we’d hate to say. Fourth Period In Mr. Essery’s absence our presi¬ dent, Fred Foster, takes the chair (and table). Carey and Woodward hold a conversation on the price of cheese on the Moon, etc. The bell rings, a dash for the cloak room, and then home. Thus ends the day.

We’ve mentioned each one In the following plot, And think it quite fine, Though you think it not. Once upon a time there were three Scott’s men named McGregor, McCor¬ mack, and McKeowan. They went to see a duel between Barn’s-jather and Thompson for the hand of little Nell Jones, because she made good Pyes. The Slattery took place on the Sandy- Hill. Barns’-father said I Win-ona con¬ dition you Lewis. Thompson lost, so decided to buy a JVe-roeli-shaped car instead of his old Maxwell and call on Jean, a maid with Brown Locks; but on his way to buy some gasoline he fell into a Cann of Gillingwater, and think¬ ing she would Knott like a Muddeman, he went home to change his clothes. But when she saw him she said, “You’re so Coutt.” Then they planned to get Mary- ied. She went to buy a new Rayment and he to see the Taylor. After the marriage ceremony, Hawkins, the Butler, came to Warrin-e r not to stay in Hagglund, so they decided on France, as they loved to live under the Wtllo trees which were covered with cob- Webbs. They were happy Eva-n though it was a foreign country, because it was Haimes (S) weet Haime. LIST OF ADVERTISERS Academy Fruit Confectionery. Amphitheatre.
