RARE say Contest open to secondary school students for the Province of Ontario. There have been few material equipment additions to the school. The impossibility of obtaining school lockers has been somewhat of a dis- appointment to the school generally. The High School Board, however, has very carefully prevented the elimina- tion of necessary expenditures, and the school has not been handicapped to any appreciable extent through lack of proper and adequate facilities. In conclusion, I desire to express my gratitude and sincere apprecia- BITS 15 tion to the members of the staff for their loyalty, devotion to duty, deep interest in the school, and the stimu- lation being given to the students, to the students for their honourable con- duct, and for the realization of the opportunities and advantages which are theirs as a heritageg to the Edi- tor-in-chief of Rarebits, Osler Lockhart, and his able staff for keep- ing the unbroken continuance of such an important literary production. Our aim of higher intellectual standards is bound to succeed with this spirit of co-operation. IAS. MACF. BATES. Halvhiflnrg By REGINALD CozENs Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen: Again we have the pleasure of at- tending these annual commencement exercises, the third to be held in this new school. To you, who are here for the first time, Commencement is a new and anticipated pleasure, to others it is one of the usual social events of the year 5-but, to us who have left the school it is a welcome opportunity to return and revive our friendships of the past four or five years. It is my privilege and pleasure to act as spokesman for the graduating class of 1931 in offering this valedic- tory or farewell address. Incredulous as it may seem to the first formers, most of us felt a cer- tain regret last September, when we saw the present students trooping back to school. Each week, as we have followed your activities through the press, we have recalled the good old days when we were active mem- bers of this institution. More than once have we wished we were back! Strange to say, we remember -the pleasant sides so much more vividly than the hours of labour we spent in and after classes proving theorems or balancing equations. We may forget the principal parts of some Latin verb or the gender of a noun-but can we forget our field days, the rugby games, the literary meetings or the At Homes? No, in our minds these are living memories. May time never erase them! Although this building is one of the finest, it would not be the noteworthy institution that it is but for its ex- cellent staff, During his few years as principal here, Mr. Bates has been untiring in his efforts to improve this school along every line. This same is true of his most excellent staff, each individual member of which time does not permit us to mention, We feel that success is crowning their labours and that each year sees a better B. H. S. than before. Only after we have left school do we fully realize what our teachers have done for us, how patient and un- tiring have been their efforts, and how unappreciative we have been, In mentioning those who have assisted us in high school we do not forget Mr. Belchamber and Elwin, who have always proved ready to lend 3 helping hand. We, the students of 1931, have come here to-night to honour our school and to say au revoir-but not good-bye, for we cannot break off the old ties. We ask you present students to re- member that Burlington High School is yours to make or mar. We have done our best to uphold its good name and to you we .pass on this trust: Play up, Play up, and Play the Game.

RAREBITS 17 X' ff! DITDRI ijt T' fn I +2 S .J EDITOR-IN-CHIEF-OSZ67' Lofkharf, V. Elarvhitz Once more We present for your approval, Rarebits , which has taken many endless Weeks to prepare. In spite of many difficulties encountered in this most trying year, the editors have tried to make it something of which B. H. S. will be proud. Al- though iinancial conditions have forced the staff to cut the size of the book, with that aim in view, We have tried to select our material so that we may still say that we have lived up to our motto, Better, and Still Better . A great deal of credit for this magazine must be accorded to our chief adviser, Miss Shaw. The Rarebits' Staff would also like to thank the teaching staff for their enthusiastic co-operation in the production of this magazine. The Advertising Staff, too, should be congratulated for their fine work. Theirs has been a hard lot this year when people are trying to make every dollar go as far as possible. But we hope that when they see the fruits of their labours they will forget the long weary hours spent in treading the streets seeking valuable and essential financial aid. They have done their duty-now it is the duty of every individual stu- dent to do his part and patronize our financial backers, for it is with their assistance that this magazine of ours is made possible. The Rarebits Staff also Wish to take this opportunity of thanking the Commercial Students and their teacher, Miss Paterson, for their many hours of Work in the production of this book.
