D. M. C. I. BREEZES 5 OUR PRINCIPAL ’J ' O those of our number who have entered the Daniel McIntyre Collegiate this year for the first time, the kindly words of advice given by Mr. Campbell at the Opening, must still be very fresh in memory. How much those words have meant to many of us! In some cases, the difference be¬ tween choosing a career absolutely unsuited to our talents, and one in which we can be entirely at ease. Few of us realize just how much our principal means to the school as a whole, and to the individual scholar. Let’s all wish Mr. Campbell the jolliest possible Christmas, and the happiest year fie ever has ex¬ perienced. “For he’s a jolly good fellow.” MR. A. C. CAMPBELL KM OUT OF SCHOOL LIFE INTO LIFE’S SCHOOL QUT of our school life into Life’s school, Out of the placid and sheltering pool, Into the mad, rushing, turbulent stream That scorns our ideal and laughs at our dream. Out of the hoping and planning of Youth Into the waking and knowledge of Truth. We lay down the text-book to take up the tool, Out of our school life into Life’s school. Out of the training-camp into the Line, Where one dare not falter and one dare not whine, Where the battle is stern, and no quarter is shown. And, saddest of all, we must fight it alone. Out from the classroom, the campus, the game, Into the struggle for future and fame; Where Experience will teach with an adamant rule, Out of our school life into Life’s school. —Roy Caven, Room 8; Charlie Mann, Room 13.

4 D. M. C. I. B R E E Z E S A YEAR BOOK 1 JT has come to the notice of the statf that several rooms in the school are dissatisfied with the “Breezes,” and wish either a year book, or a paper of their own production. We, who have had the privilege of three years’ experie nce on the paper, know that the time for a school Year Book has not yet arrived. The following points may serve as ex¬ planations for those who demand them: 1. We know that there is not sufficient co-operation in the school to provide enough worthy material for the seventy-five pages or more which are necessary in a year book. 2. The experience of St. John’s High School should be a lesson to us, for in the production of their year book they went in debt several hundred dollars. 3. We know that not more than one hundred scholars would be willing to pay the price ($1.00 or more) when the year book was pub¬ lished. 4. The staff for a year book MUST be appointed in September, in order to collect material from the whole year for publication in April or May. If this enunciation of facts about the impossibility of a year book does not suffice, the staff will be willing to state at. least a dozen other objections. As for the room paper idea, we can only say that it is an experiment which we do not advise. The room could expect, of course, no financial assistance from the school; yet neither could it hope to print the paper and sell it at a reasonable price, without advertisements, and without a large circulation. Other rooms are not interested in one room ' s news, and naturally the editors would not solicit contributions from without their own walls. Have we school spirit? Let us concentrate on the “Breezes” as a medium of expression until it becomes too small. Then will be the time for a year book.-—C. C. THE SCHOOL PAPER DO the students of the school entirely lack that quality known as “Pride in Ownership?” In some quarters we hear dissatisfaction with the paper, but not all the self-appointed critics lift a finger (or a pen) to contribute to a “bigger and better paper.” Constructive criticism is all right in its place, but the paper can¬ not thrive on criticism. The great need that the “Breezes” feels today is a bigger show, of loyalty and school pride in that important institu¬ tion, the school paper. Tf you want to put it over, this year’s editions can be made the best the school ever has put out 1 Beyond desultory and oft-repeated censure there is not sufficient response to the many and varied appeals to the student body of this school. Many believe that their contributions will land in the W.P.B., but such is not the case. If the contribution is original, of merit, and of interest, it will be printed. Don’t be a knocker! Lay down your hammer, and get a horn. —Bob Swan.

6 D. M. C. I. BREEZES SPORTS NEWS THE DANIEL McINTYRE FIELD DAY WHAT a memorable day our own Field Day of 1927 will be to us! To think of three hundred and forty girls taking part in the events— more than half the girls in the school. It was a chilly day, but this did not hinder the athletes, except that it prevented them from breaking any records. Room 55 carried off the honors by winning the shuttle relay race. We congratulate them, for they deserve the honor. In the Junior dash Olivia Anderson, Room 53, and Nellie Sellwood, Room 55, won first places, both running the 75 yards in 10 seconds flat. Evelyn King, Room 58, covered the distance in 10 1 5 seconds. Olivia Anderson and Evelyn King were chosen to represent the school on Inter-High Field Day. In the Senior dash, Marguerite Ross, Room 22, came first, with the time of 9 1 5 1 seconds. Lillian Furney, Room 55, who came second, ran the distance in 10 1 5 seconds. Norma Stanley, Room 52, and Beulah Braid, Room 58, finished the race close upon the leading runners. The Junior ball throw was won by Hilda Decter, Room 61; Laura Johnson, Room 55, coming second and Elizabeth Morganstern, Room 24, third. In the Senior ball throw, Lillian Decter, Room 19; Gertrude Ryckman, Room 7, and Florence Pepper, Room 61, came first, second and third respectively. —Marguerite Ross. Room 22. INTER-HIGH FIELD DAY Before I relate the events of Field Day, on behalf of the girls 1 wish to congratulate the boys’ track team on the good showing they made, particularly in the long distance events. As usual, our girls came out with flying colors, winning 18 points out of a possible 26. The most exciting races of the day—the girls’ shuttle relays—both were won by Daniel McIntyre. In the Senior ball throw Lillian Decter, Room 19, came first, thus winning 3 points for the Collegiate. The Junior ball throwers, Hilda Decter, Room 61, and Laura Johnson, Room 55, won second and third places respectively, gaining 3 more points for the school. The Junior dash winners, Olivia Anderson, Room 53, and Evelyn King, Room 58, did well. Olivia came third, winning yet another point. The Senior dash further increased the total, Marguerite Ross, Room 22, winning this event, her time being 9 2 5 seconds. Lillian Furney, Room 55, came second with 10 1 5 seconds. Between these two girls five points were scored, bringing the total number of points to 18. Although St. John’s carried off the shield, Daniel McIntyre did very well, being but two points behind the winners. I am sure we all , appreciate what the boys and girls did for the school. —Marguerite Ross, Room 22.
