THE NEW ERA 7 EDITORIAL As this year’s edition of the “New Era” is going to press, another school term- a term which we hope will find its place among the more pleasant memories of the students—is drawing to an end. The purpose of this year book, as of all others, is to recall pleasant memories of happy associations. With this idea in mind we dedicate the 1937-38 “New Era” to the graduating classes of this year, hoping that it will fulfill our expectations. If it does so, we may well rest content. On glancing back over the school term our interest is attracted by the success which has attended nearly every school activity. Much of this success is due to the work of the Student Council President, Doreen Donnelly, who, metaphorically speaking, welded together in excellent co-operation the staff and the student body. The highlight of the year was, undoubtedly, the smashing success of the major production, “Anne of Green Gables”, which set a record for such performances in the B.C.I. The play was presented, two nights running, in the school auditorium, and on both nights the hall was packed, tickets having all been sold a week in advance. Speaking for the staff and the students alike, we may truthfully state that neither Miss Clendenning, nor her excellent work in this connection, will soon be forgotten. The annual swimming meet was held at the Y.M.C.A., and great interest was evinced by the students who turned out strong to cheer their teams to victory. The B.C.I. skaters, perennial winners at the Kinsmen’s Karnivals, made a sweep of the events, bringing home nearly all the trophies. The Interform Basketball League fell through after Christmas, a championship being awarded in the boys’ division only. The inauguration of the Girls’ Bowling League, coupled with the successful operation of the Boys’ League, formed one of the highlights of the sporting year. As we are going to press another successful field day is coming to an end, and the annual tennis tournament is in its last stages. The Debating Society ran through its schedule smoothly, and the final winners were worthy ones. Although the opening debates were well attended, interest lagged somewhat towards the end. The debating this year was of an exceptionally high standard, and both the debaters and their executive are to be congratulated on their fine work. Heading the social events of the year was the graduating dinner which was held in the Cecil Hotel. The other social events were also highly successful, due to the co-operation of the committees and the students. This year a Boys’ Industrial Arts course, with Mr. Harris as teach¬ er, was introduced. Miss Dunseith returned to the Collegiate, after a year in Scotland as an exchange teacher. Miss Clendenning left after Easter, and her place was filled by Mrs. Witherspoon. All in all, the year has been a great one, full of achievement and success. We trust that we have presented a true recording of it, and that this 1937-38 “New Era” will be the means of recalling the pleasant years spent in the B.C.I. ROBERT BARCLAY LYALL CAVANAGH
