Under the distinguished patronage of Mr. Hunt, and the presidency of Ed. Britten, with the secretary Leonie Bourget, the Club cut up considerably. Two hours were spent at the Provincial Museum in the Normal School studying birds and animals. From these excellent specimens much information was derived. An interesting address was given by Dr. R. C. Riley, who is in charge of the pathological laboratory of the General Hospital, and Max Viminitz gave a paper on the Protozoon paramecium. The latter was followed up with laboratory work but unfortunately the paramecium disappeared from the infusion before the work was completed. Dissection of rats was carried on successfully, so suc- cessfully in fact, that the students were enabled to see the rat's heart beating. VVe might add for the sake of S.P.C.A. supporters that this was carried on while the rats were under anaesthetic, and the rats suffered no pain. Wie extend to those who come after the wish that they may cut-up as happily as did we in our pursuit of the science of Bugology. SEWING CLUB One of the nwost interesting clubs formed this year by the girls, was the Sewing Club, under the able supervision of Miss Wheatley, our Domestic Science instructor. The club was comprised of twenty members with Marion Searle as president and Betty Graber as secretary. Various type of work were done, each girl doing that which interested ber most but due to the fact that the clubs broke up early not sufficient work was completed to be dis- played. XVe sincerely hope that this club will reorganize again next year. ' 65

gave a very interesting talk on the treatment of gasoline before it is put on the-market for use. The many and some- what embarrassing questions fired at him at the conclusion of his talk proved not only of interest but also the presence of m.ore than a few car drivers. Perhaps unfortunately for the satisfaction of outsiders the most important achievements of our club cannot be put down on paper but will be of lasting use and pleasant mem- ory to club members. RADIO CLUB The Radio Club this year was under the supervision of Mr. Oliver. There were about twenty-five members in the club which was divided into two groups, one under Clive Farnsworth and the other under Peter Gay. The club did not think that they had enough tim.e to go into the building of any project. Talks were therefore given by various members of the group on the theory of radio as well as on the various pieces of apparatus used. Mr. Oliver was very helpful and assisted the boys on various problems that they ran up against while giving their talks. A tour through the broadcasting room of CKCK was arranged for but unfortunately the club meetings were dis- continued unexpectedly and the radio club was unable to take advantage of this privilege. The club as a whole was very interesting and enjoyable and we hope that next year a largermembership will be attained which will make possible any project which the club may put forward. ELECTRICAL CLUB Feminine members swelled the ranks of the Electrical Club this year and found it just as instructing and enjoyable as did the boys. VVith Mr. Clark as supervisor, the oliicers elected were: President, Vlfalker Fitzgeraldg Vice-President, john Durrantg Secretary treasurer, Dennis Powers. The course of meetings began with the examination of simple electrical instruments. Later invalid irons were brought by members, dismantled, inquired into and rebuilt for operation. The erection, operation and explanation of a complete telegraph set proved interesting. But the long waited for meeting was the trip to the Telephone Exchange which lived up to every member's expectation. A projected tour of the power plant for this season will take place next year, with it is hoped as many interested members as this year. 64

THE CENTRAL ECHO Early in November Harold S. Hare and Jack Miles, both of 4C obtained permission from Mr. Scrimgeour to begin a school paper. The class presidents backed up the idea. Now, we relate what is to the paper, as is the Black Ages to hoary haired historians. VVe refer to the first weird assemblages which were hailed to the amazed students as being issues of the school paper. But not satisfied with branding it with the simple name of school paper the editors advertised a contest with 352.00 in prizes for a name or epitaph Cas some cynical people were wont to sayj for the paper. Lily Inge was the winner, suggesting f'Central Echo. Now, we conie to a sort of Renaissance or Reformation, on January 16, 1933, when, the first edition after Christmas appeared. The reason we speak so optimistically is that the editors had negotiated with Commercial High School and they had done the printing job for that edition. This resulted in a very great improvement. The staff of the paper by this time was: Editors-in-chief, Harold S. Hare and Jack Miles, Boys' Sport Editor, Dave Spencer, Girls' Sport Editor, Marjory Drakeg Society Editor, Mary Higgins, Form. News Editor, Betty Arnotg Staff Artist, Pete Lay, Staff Advisor, Mr. Robertson and later on Lew Hersham and Keith Ansley were appointed over First and Second year circulation, res- pectively. Ed. Britten was literary editor but was compelled to resign to take over the editorship of the Annual. As far as possible all school activities were covered, VVhen the Dramatic Club was formed Gardner Stillwell furnished the subscribers with a criticism of each play. c At this time it is our privilege to pass on a few points of advice, which we have gained by experience, to the future editors of the school paper. We have found above all things that a staff with de- finitely assigned duties is an absolute necessity. There are two distinct processes, which must not be confused, namely, the actual construction and printing of the paper and the distribution. As regards the literary staff our suggestion would be to have form reporters in each room with a form news editor for each year. Have one person cover all social events, such as dances, commencement, concerts etc, boys and girls sport editors should also be chosen. As to the second part, that of the distribution of the papers, it is as important if not more important than the construction. A circulation manager must be appointed who should select a business staff, whose entire duties would be to see that the paper 'fwent over and also to collect all money derived from the sales. These suggestions along with the ingenuity such as the future editors may devise should aid materially in making the next years' paper a success. -H.S.H. 66
