The Spirit of Mount Tolmie refuses to die. Although the blades have worn out beyond repair and although new blades are not procurable under present conditions, the Spirit is still to be seen circumnavigating the field towing five Cherubim for young Spiritsj in the shape of handleless lawn mowers. It was truly pleasant to see John Boak and John Young on Speech Day, both safely home for the time being from service overf seas. We are grateful to Richard Carle for his assistance with knot' tying just before inspection day. A room insulated against gas has been provided and furnished in the Harvey House.

Gordon FOUNDER'S DAY The 37th Anniversary of the founding of the School was observed as usual on October 7. Following morning prayers, the Headmaster gave a detailed account of the incidents that led up to the formation of the School, its growth, difficulties, and achieve' ments through the years. He stressed the motives which promoted the foundation and urged the boys so to conduct themselves that they might indeed be worthy of their heritage that had been handed down to them. He asked them especially to remember the Old Boys, now in the forefront of the battle in the different war areas. Cheers were then called for the Headmaster and the Old School. ARMISTICE or REMEMBRANCE DAY Following the usual custom, the School held its own Com' memoration Ceremony at 10:45 a.m. in the Front Hall of the School House. The Reverend, the Headmaster, conducted the Service, which was attended by all the boys and members of the Staff. The names of some eightyffour Old Boys who have fallen during the present and past conflicts were read out, and Prayers were offered for their bereaved ones and for those now serving. The laying of the School Wreath on the Honour Roll was followed by the reading of a passage from Revelation, Chapter 7, and the Lord's Prayer. At 11a.m. the Service concluded with the sounding of the Last Post by the Trumpeters of the Cadet Corps, after which all boys filed past the Honour Roll. 9
