LORD TWEEDSMUIR John Buchan, one of the most distinguished Writers of our time, now lives with us. When this celebrated, many talented man of letters was again honored by being named Governor General of our Dominion, among those who knew him a murmur rose, saying, A reward well-earned. Those less fortunate, who until this year had read him little or not at all and who now for the first time were seriously studying his works, were proud to learn that such a masterful story-teller, biographer, and poet had been chosen as His Majesty's representative in Canada. Usually it is for those who are commanding figures in the field of Literature to have lived little in the world. Not so with Buchan. He graduated from Glasgow University and Brasenose College, Oxford, to a barrister's oflice. Towards the close of the Boer War he went to South Africa, the locale of many of his novels, later return- ing to England to become the assistant editor of a prominent review. He was a partner in the publishing house of T. A. Nelson and Son, and at the outbreak of the War enlisted in the Intelligence Depart- ment, finally rising to rank of Colonel. After the Armistice he severed his connection with Nelson's and for years amazed the world by the number of books he turned out annually, publishing many of the best sellers of that era. He has been a member of Parliament, the Lord High Commissioner of the Church of Scotland, and now in his sixty-first year he is our Governor General. His coming, it is hoped by students of Canadian literature, will give impetus to the awakening among Canadians that there have been and are capable Canadian writers, who have not yet been fully appreciated by those of whom they wrote. Most certainly his arrival has already aroused a greater enthusiasm in Canadians for drama. He, himself, hopes that while he is in Canada, a greater Canadiana will be built and more especially, that the wonderful Canadiana already established will be given the attention and respect that its worth deserves. e A OUR MOTTO . f'Alite Flammamf' written in silver letters on the purple and the gold, is a motto worthy of the best thatis in us. Co-operation, cheerfulness and hard work mark the story of the success of those in the past. It is for us to live up to their standards and keep the old flag flying. It may not be an easy task but remember there is no royal road to success or anything else. As we enter Central we take upon us the duty of preserving and attempting to better the records of the school. When we leave, our work should prove that we attempted as best we could to live up to the motto. What the students of tomorrow will think or do, we cannot say, but we do know that if we play our part to the best of our ability and try to lift a brighter Torch to cheer tomorrow's dawn, then we can step from this stage proudly, having fulfilled our task. Let us be: One equal temper of heroic hearts made weak by time and fate, but strong in will ! 14

FOREWCDRD Ye Flamen is again making its appearance before the school world and the general public. Much thought and not a little work has gone into its production. Its preparation has become one of the major activities of the school of the spring term. It has been published with success annually, notwithstanding the depression, improving, we hope, with the years. It involves the expenditure of considerable money which the business committee has always been able to raise. Not only is it an undertaking in which many gain experience in matters of business practice, but it is also a project of marked educational value requiring the co-operative effort on the part of all. Some prefer to solicit advertising, others to write, still others to gather material, arrange and edit it. Whatever the nature of the effort it takes the work and collaboration of each and everyone to ensure the success of the magazine. The students are to be commended on their journalistic efforts and our thanks and congratulations go to the committees of students and teachers for the 1936 issue of Ye Flame. We recommend it as a bright, entertaining magazine to be read time and again when you wish, in thought, to revisit Central and think over again your school days with the friends you made there. The year has been a busy one and one that has had many interruptions. There has been more sickness among the mem- Lers of the staff and students than in any other year in the history of s the school. Notwithstanding this, there has been no withdrawal of opportunities. In Athletics, rugby, basketball, hockey and skating, basketball and tennis have received the encouragement of the staff and the support of the student body. Our aim in these sports has never been to turn out winning teams, but rather to give each girl and boy an opportunity to play and to give encouragement where it is needed. Mens sana in corpore sano, is still a worth- while motto. In bringing this foreword to a close I again, as principal, wish our graduating students happiness and success 1n their future years. 1 1 W.
