D. M.C. I. BREEZES 47 SCHOLARSHIP AND MEDAL WINNERS Standing—John Holmes, Norman Christie. Sitting—Clair Hammill, Norman Peterson, Munroe Dale. THE GOVERNOR-GENERAL’S MEDAL The students of the Daniel McIntyre offer their sincerest congratulations to Munroe Dale, who has been awarded the Governor-General’s medal for the year 1929-30. After having established himself as an honor student at the Principal Sparling School, Munroe came to. the Daniel McIntyre. During his three years with us he took part in many activities, in addition to making a fine record in his academic subjects. He was sport’s captain of his Grade X Class; was on the track team twice as a distance runner; played on the championship basketball team of 1930; took a principal part in the opera, “Pirates of Penzance’; and was business manager of the “Breezes.” At present Munroe is continuing his education at the University of Manitoba. We wish him every success. IMPERIAL ORDER OF THE DAUGHTERS OF THE EMPIRE SCHOLARSHIPS Norman Peterson was a student at Daniel McIntyre for a year and a half. He was president of his class in Grade X, 1929-1930. Returning to the Daniel McIntyre in January, 1930, he spent only six months in Grade XI, at the end of which time he qualified for the first I.O.D.E. scholarship by which he was enabled to enter the University last October. We extend to him our congratulations and best wishes for future success. John Holmes, winner of a second I.O.D.E. scholarship, is a graduate of the Daniel McIntyre. He received his early education in the Winnipeg public schools and came to Daniel McIntyre for his Grade X and XI. During those two years he proved himself to be an excellent scholar and we know that he will live up to his reputation at University. We wish him all success in his college career. CLAIR HAMMILL As a result of last year’s Grade XI examination an Isbister scholarship was brought to the school by Clair Hammill. Ever since his arrival at the Daniel McIntyre from the Isaac Brock, Clair has maintained a reg¬ ularly high average, and his winning of this scholarship comes as a fitting reward for his academic work.

46 D. M. C. 1. B R E E Z E S son, Verna Hillier, Helen and Louise Templeton, Chester Duncan, Munroe Dale, Fenton Malley, Walter William¬ son, Orville Hayes and Gordon Wors- ley lent their voices to the choruses. Others with not such melodious voices, but with high ambitions, go to “U” also. Some of these are: Pat Paget, Signy Stephenson. Alf Perley, Nick Iannone, Harrison Mullins, Phyllis O’Brien, George Bell, Ken Whalmough, Gordon Cain, Jack Gal¬ braith, Stewart Crerar, Earle Simpson, and John Barnacal. Daily, with shining morning faces, gaily, nay, eagerly, hurrying to Busi¬ ness College go many ex-Danielites. These include Merrill Brooks, of sprinting fame; Martha Setter, who portrayed the “menace” in our Gilbert and Sullivan opera; Hilda Decter, Jean Queen, Nan McGregor, Doug. Watson, Rhoda Lander, the Doyle sisters, Helen Edmondson and Dodo Brandson. Many, spurred on to emulate our own teachers, are enrolled at Nor¬ mal School. These are Svala Palson (Literary Editor of the 1930 Breezes), Beth Douglas, Anne Metzak, Dorothy Wright, Ellen Vosper, Emma Stephen¬ son, Marie Sloane, Grace Shepherd, Helen Purdie, Ruth Hornbeek, May Johnson, Florentine Menzies, Mary Bone, and Kay Carson. “Mub” Sprung, who was such a power on the track team and in school sports in general, won the Inter-Col¬ legiate half mile of Western Canada last year and is now studying at Wes¬ ley. Irene Fieldhouse, ex-councillor, has turned vegetarian on us and is now at the “Aggy.” Helen McLennan, who won the Gov¬ ernor-General’s medal in 1928, is teaching little tots that two and two equals five and other mysteries that only teachers can explain. Ruby Palmasson will receive her B.Sc., and Myra Jackson her B.A. this year. Eric Johnston has been doing some extensive travelling south of the line and we suspected rum-running. How¬ ever, he has turned up again in Win¬ nipeg so all’s quiet on the border for a time at least. You will no doubt agree that the majority of our grads are doing ex¬ tremely well and we are very proud of them. To those mentioned above and to any whom we have unintention¬ ally omitted we extend our most sin¬ cere wishes for success. THE 1929-30 COUNCIL AND AN ALUMNI ASSOCIATION Although gone, the 1929-30 Council members have not forgotten their Alma Mater. Recently a meeting of this body was called, and in the course of it a very important motion was unanimously passed. This was in brief, a motion to call together the councils of the past five years with a view to form¬ ing a permanent Alumni Association of the D.M.C.I. The great value of such an organ¬ ization, to both ex-student and pres¬ ent-day pupil, can readily be seen. Not only will the fellowship enjoyed dur¬ ing a school career be prolonged, but the social life of the school may be enriched. In proof we point to some of the “Alumni Associations” of East¬ ern High Schools and the good de¬ rived from them. Here, it is hoped by all concerned, is the foundation of a long desired organization which will help to hold students and their predecessors in closer bonds of friendship. Those in attendance at this meeting were: Ex-Pres. Pearl Fleming, Irene Fieldhouse, Winnie Lea, Miss M. Dow- ler, Miss Anderson, Mr. A. C. Camp¬ bell, Mr. D. Forsyth, Mr. C. G. Cooke, and R. D. Bradshaw.

48 D. M.C. I. BREEZES school interests do not lie along the academic line alone. In Grade X he was “Breezes” representative for the room, while in Grade XI he became vice-president of his class as well as a member of the opera cast. This year Clair was appointed to. the busi¬ ness staff in the school magazine and, as a member of it, fulfilled his office with skill and competence. With his past successes in view, we may well wish Clair every success as he con¬ tinues his studies. NORMAN CHRISTIE Last year the scholarship offered to Manitoba high school students by the Colorado. School of Mines was won by Norman Christie of the Daniel McIntyre Collegiate Institute. Gradu¬ ating from the Isaac Brock School in 1928, Norman entered Grade XA of the Collegiate. During that term and the term of 1930-31, he was a mem¬ ber of the school’s primary basket¬ ball team, which won the inter-high championship. During his year in Grade XI, he took an active part in the school opera and succeeded in gaining a place on the track team. This year Norman played on our champion curling team. Throughout his three years at the Collegiate he has maintained a consistently good average in his studies. The students offer their heartiest congratulations to Norman and wish him every success in the years to come.
