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.

18 RAREBITS Elie Spring Gfrrm PAULINE TANCOCK Once more the lengthening days proclaim the approaching end of an- other school year, Easter has come and gone. The early summer mi- grants are with us or have passed on into their northern home. The snow- drops and crocuses are in the gar- dens, and we are standing on the di- vide between winter and summer. Now fades the long, last streak of snow, Now burgeons every maze of quick, About the flowering squares and thick By ashen roots the violets blow. So sang a great English poet of the last century of spring in his country. Usually this might apply to ours, but this year there has been hardly any snow to fade. At least, in this dis- trict we had almost nothing to re- mind us even remotely of what is usu- ally considered a typical Canadian winter. Not many toboggans were taken for their annual spinsg most of us did not even have a pair of skates -and we do like our winter sports. However, in these hard times, when there is so much distress throughout the country, we probably had the best kind of winter after all. By the time you see this we will be well into the summer months, with thoughts of tennis and golf and swimming, as well as of the inevitable final ordeal. Relentlessly our works must be weighed in the balance and our knowledge gauged and plumbed to discover what we know of the an- cient Egyptians and the works of the modern chemist, the properties of the elusive triangles and the prob- lems of the wily hens. So take cour- age, brethren and sisters. Remem- ber that you are making a glorious tradition for the school and that your brilliance and application rejoice the hearts of your parents and instruc- tors, But excuse me! I haven't done my homework! f!Bur Artists The editor and staff of Rarebits wish especially to thank the artists who have contributed work for this issue. Special mention must be made of Fred Homer, an artistic second former, who is responsible for the 1931-32 cover design. Nor should we forget Bill Atkinson, who designed some headings to brighten our year book. To these two we pay special tribute, and hope that in the future they may attain to something really worthwhile in the realm of art. A Parting mari! It .has been indeed a pleasure to work with such an efficient Staff, and the Editor wishes to thank sincerely all his assistants who have co-operated so earnestly. On behalf of the Rarcbits' Staff I would like to thank all those students who have responded to our call for material. We appreciate your faith in us, and only hope we have lived up to your expectations. In conclusion, on behalf of Rarebits' Staf, may I extend our thanks to the advertisers. Q Finally, as a parting word, Fellow Students,-Here is the 1932 Rarebits. lt is your magazine as well as ours. May you enjoy it more than ever.
