' As usual year after year when school opens in September we find that many of our old students have graduated and entered a new world of marvellous pos- sibilities. We extend to them our best wishes for continued success in the years to come. Hamilton Normal School has claimed quite a number of our students intending to follow the teaching profession. Those attending are Wilfred Bridle, Kathleen Brooker, Dorothy Metcalfe, Verna Hof- mann, Ernest Walker and George Walker.

'- 4:5 qu- i .-.. x L- s. rlfimp ' Spnriamanzhip fur Girls By Miss MARGARET MARTYN To the slogan A game for every girl , I should like to add, and every girl in a game. But you protest, Every girl is not interested in athletics. True. Every girl is, however, in- terested in beauty or some phase of beauty and the connection between athletics and beauty, both physical and intellectual, has been established since the time of the Greeks. History records Probably no institution exercised great, er influence in moulding national char- acter and producing that unique type of physical and intellectual beauty, which we see reflected in Greek art and liter- ature, than the public contests of Greece. Phidias, a master sculptor who exemplifies the aim of Greek art to depict only the noble and beautiful, derived inspiration from these same con- tests and some of Pindaris finest poetry was written to honour an athlete. But in this day of specialization, we would do well to remember that the Greeks prac- tised those exercises which developed all-round excellence, general body agility and graceful bearing. We would do well to remember and imitate. Not only do athletic games and con- tests, if carefully promoted, result in physical beauty, but their value in character building is a recognized fact. Though our athletes do not, on oath, declare that they are without religious or civil stain and that they will use no fraud or guile, as did the Greeks, we have the same ideas in our unwritten law-Sportsmanship-and public opin- ion, very quickly, ostracizes any athlete who does not show the qualities em- bodied in this term. lf, therefore, games and athletic con- tests have in the past and are, in the present, serving to develop that which is beautiful in both mind and body, should not the slogan A game for every girl and every girl in a game, be universally adopted? For in the words of the poet! A thing of beauty is a joy forever, Its loveliness increases, it will never Pass into nothingnessf'
