To 4F Once again it is time to say farewell to a graduating class. Only yesterday you joined a group of students known as 4F, tomorrow you become members of other groups interested in many things. The conclusion of training for any activity in life is an epoch. It marks the end of the stress and strain of certain preparation and the beginning of a new battle. To some that battle will be further preparation for a profession or a trade, at University or other educational institution. To others it will be a battle in the world of business. You must all move on, no one can stand still. Thus it is not a contradiction of terms that the closing exercises of the Collegiate are called Commencement Go forward! Give the best you have to what ever you undertake. Remember that true education is not how much you know but how well you think. Determination and perseverance have been necessary to complete your High School course, they will be even more necessary to your further progress. The world needs young men and women who can think clearly, who have a goal in life, and with the ability and courage to keep working towards it. Success! It's found in the soul of you And not in the realm of luck! The world will furnish the work to do, But you must furnish the pluck. You can do whatever you think you can, Its all in the way you view it. It's all in the start you make, young mang You must feel that you're going to do it. In extending greetings and congratulations upon the success' ful outcome of your student efforts, I desire likewise to convey to you all my best wishes for the successful discharge of your new duties and obligations. I have enjoyed being your form teacher and I hope you will have some pleasant memories of the hours spent in 4F. e W. E. PERKINS. 4F's WAY BACK WHEN - - It is the year 1909. The sun shines brightly upon a little red school-house. The time is 8.55 a.m. In the doorway stands an upright man with glasses, frantically ringing a cow-bell. Lightly tripping up the path they come, boys and girls, blondes, brunettes and red heads, Cthere were no platinums yet, dear readerj gaily swinging their lunch pails. A short man with a shock of black hair shouts lustily, Only a minute to go, young ladies! 45

In the 4F class-room a group of girls are huddled furtively around a small, tin cover serving as a mirror. Oh, girls! cried Vera Leigh, Have you seen my new, high-laced boots? There in the corner Marg. Wilson is hurriedly adjusting her bustle. The bell rings. The files are quickly organized, Margaret Brock and Bill Morton, the monitors, bark out commands. Distance take! Blank file! Mark time-forward, marchll' The class-room is soon filled and the slim young form- teacher enters. f'Good morning, dear Teacher, good morning to you! Mr. Perkins smiles his own inimitable smile and says: Good morning pupils and how are we all today A scream breaks in and after the smoke clears away, there, on top of desk, her ankles boldly revealed is Alma Grant, Oh, Mr. Perkins! she falters, It was a mouse! I know it was. I saw Craig swinging it by the tail. Quickly the uproar is put down by the gentle but firm hand of Mr. Perkins and the Algebra class begins. The front of the room concentrates its attention on the blackboard while titters are heard from the back. There is a sound of argument and Hilda Leggett whispers, Gordon MacLachlan, if you don't stop pulling my braid, I'll tell on you! Sissy, hisses Tommy Smith, who scorns to play with girls. Mr. Perkins whirls about, MacLachlan, H with icy sarcasm, Perhaps you'd like to sit with Hilda? A deep red slowly creeps up to Curly's ears. He looks sheepish. Teacher, may I leave the room'?!' pipes up Louise Burnett. 'fAbie spilt ink all down my pinafore and its my second-best one too! Yes, my child, says the master, fondly patting the dark curls. The rest of the morning passes uneventfully enough except for George Page putting gum on Craigls seat and making him sit there steadily for two hours, and Annabel Murray and Norma Tanner caught exchanging notes about their Easter bonnets. The cow-bell soon rang the noon hour and out troops the class. Madeleine le Roy shyly deposits a rosy apple on teacher's desk and receives in return a beaming smile.
