The staff of the “Breezes” take this opportunity of extending to Mr. Mountford sincerest thanks for his work in connection with photo¬ graphing the sport groups. Mr. Mountford’s generosity and efforts in this department are largely responsible for the number of sport pictures this edition contains. We are sure, therefore, that we express the senti¬ ment of the whole school when we say we are deeply grateful to Mr. Mountford for his kindness. - EXCHANGES We are glad to acknowledge the following, lately received: “L.C.

o D. M. C. I. BREEZES GRADUATION MESSAGE The Editor-imChief has kindly re¬ quested me to write a message for this Graduation Number of the “Breezes.” It will be brief but none the less sincere. Another school year is near its close. In spite of the fact that we were a month late in open¬ ing, all school activities appear to have been carried on in nearly nor¬ mal fashion. The literary, musical, athletic and social events were a credit to all concerned. I take this opportunity of thanking the staff and students for their loyal support. The spirit of co-operation and fair- play has been in evidence at all times. The Student Councils and class officers have performed their duties in a most commendable manner. It only remains for me to express the hope that the efforts put forth will be found to have produced per¬ manent results of the right sort. May those who leave our halls this year know of a surety that it was good for them to have been students of the Daniel McIntyre Collegiate Institute. May those who plan to return at the opening of another term come back able and willing to do better than ever. To one and all I extend best wishes for a pleasant and beneficial vacation. —A. C. Campbell. CLOSING EXERCISES, JUNE 14th, 1929 Despite their proximity to examinations, the valedictory exercises are eagerly anticipated by the various classes.

DR. DANIEL McINTYRE The past year has witnessed the retirement from active service of Dr. Daniel McIntyre, superintendent of the Winnipeg public schools. As our school has been given the honour of perpetuating his name, this change has been of considerable interest to the Collegiate. Like many other notable men, Dr. McIntyre received his early education in a rural school in New Brunswick. Later he entered the teaching profession and after several years of this work he became superintendent of St. John’s College. Shortly after Confederation, however, Dr. McIntyre responded to the call of the West. In the year 1883, Dr. McIntyre was appointed to the Winnipeg school staff. Two years later he became inspector of the Protestant schools. In 1891 the Public School Board appointed Dr. McIntyre superintendent of the city schools. During all the years he has acted in that capacity, he has been the central figure of that movement which has resulted in the erection and maintenance of the many beautiful schools now existing. —Ila MacCallum, Room 58.
