T II K R E F I. E C T 0 R C I. I F TON I! I O II S C II 0 O L P E B R II A R Y 9 2 6 OCR NEW SCHOOL Here is the reward of patience, students, a beautiful new school, fully equipped with the most modern devices, a school on the whole to he proud of. Facing the east, it faces the com- ing of dawn, and all new things. Is it not a well chosen site? lint that is not all. The ex- terior and interior of the building itself show careful deliberation. From basement to the top floor one finds on inspection only the most mod- ern equipment, and each day is adding its share. Indeed, schoolmates, we have much to be thank- ful for. and it is our duty to show appreciation and gratitude by our good work and our good- will. As I write 1 have a feeling of mingled gladness and sorrow, of gladness that I was able to enjoy the school in all its newness; of sorrow that my term has come to an end, and 1 must leave for other fields. Nevertheless I shall always remember this half year in the new C. II. S. and 1 leave hoping that you will radiate appreciation, and that you will make the most of your opportunities in this splendid building. T. S., 26. A Eulogy on the Old School “Crack goes the whip, and off we go; The trees and houses smaller grow; Last, round the woody turn we swing: Goodbye, goodbye, to everything. R. L. Stevenson. Old Friend, even Tolstoi could not express my sorrow at being severed from you. You have seen the rise and fall of empire, and have fitted men and women for the study of profes- sions and trades. You have watched talent spring into bloom, and have gazed upon the battlements of success. It was you who shaped our destinies and directed us on the road to happiness. I see you now peering through your tarnish as a vestal virgin of old striving to keep alive the wavering fires of knowledge. You could easily rest upon your laurels, for many a time you have embraced fame and have been a com- panion of glory. Though we have left you, the birthplace of secondary education in our city, behind, and though we have forsaken our old haunts for a brighter and more modern dwelling, still we are unable to break the chains of memory by forgetting you, Old School.
