42 D. M.C. I. BREEZES “Specula Galtonia,” Ontario An unusually good production. The form news, literary section, and car¬ toons are all Al, and require special mention. Congratulations Galt! May we see you in print again next year. “Nautilus,” Philadelphia A remarkably fine issue from a junior high school. The literary and humor sections are almost as good as those in senior high school magazines. The cover, also, is most attractive. “Kelvin Year Book,” Winnipeg The literary section is, as in former years, the main feature of this year book. Your cover and cartoons speak splendidly for the artists. Photo¬ graphs of the graduating classes would greatly improve the book. “Magazine,” South Africa A yearly production showing the students’ keen interest in sports. There are a great many clever poems in this year book, and the articles in Dutch make your magazine unusual. “Holt School Magazine,” England A magazine revealing many inter¬ esting and original writings. The school news is very interesting, the cover is attractive, and altogether the magazine is a great credit to the school. “The Vantech,” Vancouver A most interesting and artistic pro¬ duction. A strong sense of humor running through the magazine en¬ lightens the heavier reading. “The Wykehamist,” England We congratulate you an producing so successful a paper every ten days. It is a distinctively original magazine. The reviews of the social, athletic, and scholarly activities are both interest¬ ing and humorous. “The Breeze,” Wyoming A very peppy and humorous little paper which is published once a month. It contains a lot of news in very little space, and shows the students’ keen interest in sports. “The Tatler,” Georgia A highly interesting monthly paper. We like your breezy, journalistic style, and think your magazine an ideal production for a boys’ school. THE SCHOOL COUNCIL Our school, the Daniel McIntyre Collegiate Institute (for the deaf, dumb, blind and mentally unsound) has two councils—the Senior Council and the Junior Council. Together they form the School Council which looks after the affairs of both the Junior and Senior students. The councils, taken individually, have six members each, including the president and sec¬ retary. This year, as in others, we have been fortunate in having the pick of the school on our councils. The Senior students chose Bill Hanna, Grace Smith, Nancy Miller, Alice Parr, Sydney Cohen, and Manly Bond, with the first two as president and secre¬ tary (respectfully). The Junior stu¬ dents picked Dorothy Jones, Dorothy Scott, Jim Duncan, Dave Wooley, Keith Davidson, and Margaret Mc- Quoid, with Dorothy Jones and Jim Duncan as president and secretary re¬ spectively. The duties of the School Council are many and varied. Every activity, whether athletic, scholastic or social, must pass before the council for ap¬ proval if the aforesaid activity is sponsored by the student-body. Just think, mellow student, how capable and worthy is our noble council. Many of the members have never sat in coun¬ cil before, and without experience, without practice, diligently apply themselves to the great problems set before them. Such is the noble nature of our great council. Let us now present you with a faint idea of how our council is composed. Well, to make a short story long, it is elected. One dreary Friday afternoon, October 24th, as we were all sleeping peacefully over our books, we were

D.M.C.I. BREEZES 41 Because the “Breezes” was pub¬ lished earlier than usual this year, we have not yet received magazines from many schools. However, our exchange column is larger than it was last year, and for the first time we have re¬ ceived magazines from schools outside North America. We thank the editors of the magazines listed below, and welcome back our old friends. “Blue and White,” Walkerville A very well-developed school year book, we liked especially the addition of a “Scientist Column,” and your car¬ toons and cover show splendid work from the artists of your school. “The Vulcan,” Toront o We were glad to see that the staff of the “Vulcan” maintained the high standard set by former students. The cover is unusually artistic, the car¬ toons are very clever, and the literary section is, as in other years, a great credit to the school. “The Red Herring,” Emerson This is indeed a novel production, and shows very good effort on the part of its editors. We will be very inter¬ ested to see how a paper of this type will succeed. It is indeed a risky proposition editing so personal a pa¬ per in a school. “Acadia Athenaeum,” Nova Scotia A very fine monthly magazine. Your Humor section is very extensive, and the “Personals” are most interesting. It is certainly a magazine for any col¬ lege to be proud of. “Moosomin Annual,” Saskatchewan For a small school such as yours, this paper is a very complete one. The class news can hardly be improved, and the literary section is excellent. Your “Athletics” might be enlarged upon. “Woodnotes,” Sheffield Your cover is very attractive, the literary section is well-developed, and the write-ups on the sports are most interesting. We think the addition of an “Exchange” column would improve your magazine. “The Greystone,” Saskatchewan A splendid university year-book. The photographs and write-ups in connection with them are most ap¬ propriate. Your cover is very effec¬ tive, and the “Humor” is excellent. “Red and White News,” Pittsfield For a magazine which is issued once a month this is a most complete one. The cover is especially appropriate, and every section of the paper is well developed. Might we suggest write¬ ups on your musical and athletic ac¬ tivities ? “Vox,” United Colleges, Manitoba It is impossible for us to offer any suggestions for improving your maga¬ zine because it seems to possess all the necessities of a half-term college paper. We think the cover an im¬ provement over last year’s. “Hermes,” Toronto One of our best exchanges. The matter is well arranged, the literary section is splendid, and thecover is excellent. A truly model year book, and one worthy of your school.

For fifty cents apiece, we were allowed to mark numbers on a small slip of paper bearing names. After the novelty of the event wore off, we were informed that we had voted for some candidates (no! not candy dates). Great was the excite¬ ment and loud the buzzing hum of human chatter down in the recreation sheds, whither we repaired, where a school council was being recreated. Names flashed before us. Numbers followed. The crowd milled about. It was eagerly awaiting the final result. It came. All was over. We returned to our homes, minus fifty cents, but plus a worthy council. joe McCracken. WATCHING THE CONSTITUTION AT WORK The unique distinction of being Win¬ nipeg’s first Senior High School to have a Constitution has been awarded to our Collegiate. Its adoption is a distinct achievement and we trust every member of the school has made a careful study of its form and has entered into its proper spirit. Our Constitution has provided for the creation of various Committees which cover a wide field of endeavor. Through the medium of the Athletic Commission, which has representatives from each room, and the Athletic Ad¬ visory Board the school sports are handled. A Debating Committee makes all necessary arrangements for inter¬ room debates. Our Morale Committee provides for cheer leaders to stimulate
