14 RAREBITS Elinremurh g A The first vivid thought which comes to my mind in writing this brief preface for the third edition of our year book, Rarebits, is that of the widespread depression, The re- duced size of this volume is a true in- dication of the seriousness of the present depression. There is a ne-ces- 1.e2e2s2siQsEeSa::f .. , . r -- df 5' 1 -rg, :5:5351555515555E5EQE525E5E5E3E5EgE5E Jas. MacF. Bates, Principal sary curtailment of picture plates and valuable literary contributions in the book. The members of Rarebits staff are deserving of the highest commendation for their courage in attempting the production at this period. The enterprise rests on a sound financial basis, and the publica- tion comes from the press with a full ultimate assured success in every way. In reviewing the work of the school for the past year one observes at once that there are, as usual, a few outstanding new achievements of pro- gress, Likewise, there appears to be no diminution academically, or in the successful functioning of the various school organizations. The traditions are being maintained and promoted. Scholastically, much honour was brought to himself and the school when Reginald Cozens won the G. C. Edwards Scholarship at McMaster University for first place in Science on the Upper School examinations last June. A new adventure for the school was the inauguration by the Board of Medical Exami- nation for all registered students. This medical service was organized and successfully administered for a surprisingly low expenditure, while its benefits have been manifold. Ath- letically, the school adopted a policy of a slight retrenchment in Interscho- lastic competition despite the win- ning of two C. O. S. S. A. champion- ships the previous year. The Athletic Societies, Boys and Girls, brought considerable credit to the school for the excellent staging of one of the most successful Track and Field Meets in the history of Halton County Interscholastic competition. Incidentally, the school won the meet for the fifth consecutive year. The Morning Assemblies and the meet- ings of the Literary Society in the way of Form competitions have pro- vided for the students splendid oppor- tunity for gaining confidence in speech and self-expression. The An- nual Commencement Exercises run- ning two consecutive nights under the auspices of the Literary Society comprised a programme which was without question the most praisewor- thy in history, Perhaps the most im- portant accomplishment of the Stu- dents' Council was the adoption of a school pin and ring beautifully de- signed with the school crest. There was an exceedingly large sale, which indicated the popularity of the work of the Council. A student, Harry Allen, had the distinct honour of winning first place in the International Lions' Club Es-
