D. M.C. I. BREEZES 5 ITH much hesitation and misgiving we, the editors, have sent this one and only edition of the “Breezes” for the term 1930-1931 to press. Surely this is a very auspicious occasion, it being the fortieth birthday of the Collegiate magazine. Fortieth? Yes, way back in 1891 “Breezes” was organized. True, it has not been known throughout its entire life by that appellation. During the Great War it was published as “The Optimist” and for several years appeared as the “Mercury.” However, in the hopes of further linking up the associations of the first Collegiate with the present one, it reverted to its original name. “Breezes.” On glancing through the annals of the Daniel McIntyre we find that our school, since its organization, has made startling and wonderful progress. In the year 1882 it had its beginning in the upper half of a residence on Louise Street, with Mr. J. B. Fawcett as its principal and. seven pupils as its entire enrollment. In the same year it removed to the Carlton School; but soon having an increase of forty-three pupils, larger accommodation was deemed necessary and the Central School was chosen as its new abode. Here, incidentally, the first woman student entered to take a Matriculation course, thus establishing a precedent in favor of the education of the weaker (?) sex. On the 12th day of February, 1892, the Central Collegiate on Kate Street was formally opened and with an enrollment now of three hundred and ninety- three students, here took up its residence and. here it remained until 1917. Then, once again facing the necessity of a larger structure, it removed to the Isaac Brock School. “The Optimist” of 1918 records the following item: “The year 1918 finds the Collegiate established in its new headquarters in the Isaac Brock School, one of the most beautiful buildings in Winnipeg and situated in most picturesque surroundings in the west-end.” Finally, in 1922, the Collegiate found a permanent home, we hope, within the walls of our own Daniel McIntyre Collegiate Institute, of which we are justly proud, a structure of great beauty, with spacious halls, cheery class¬ rooms, an excellent library, well equipped laboratories, Household Art and Science rooms, and an enrollment of twelve hundred, and fourteen students.

6 D. M.C. I. BREEZES Undoubtedly our school magazine has been an indication of this develop¬ ment. Each year its staff, I’m sure, has endeavored to produce “bigger and better ‘Breezes.’ ” Whether or not we have succeeded in doing this, we leave it to you to judge. It has been our desire to bring to view a record of student achievements, to arouse once again in the hearts of former students sweet memories of past occurrences within these walls, to develop a fine school spirit in every student of the Daniel McIntyre and to encourage in all a steadfast devotion and develop¬ ment of higher things. If you approve, tell us! If you don’t, well—tell us anyway. AN APPRECIATION Sincerest thanks must be extended to all connected with the publication of the “Breezes,” especially the untir¬ ing and cheerful aid given by the faculty advisers. Much of the credit for the success of our magazine should go to Mr. Forsyth through his excellent work as our business manager and to Mr. Mountford for his energy with regard to picture cuts for our edition. The staff appreciates Miss Dowler’s contributions of art through the medi¬ um of her art class. Such illustra¬ tions, we are certain, have improved our magazine tremendously and have made it more attractive to its readers. To Miss Patrick, the editors of the “Breezes” wish to extend their hear¬ tiest thanks for her untiring efforts on behalf of the magazine and for the excellent advice and assistance with which she has aided them. THE JOY OF BEING EDITOR Getting out this paper is no picnic. If we print jokes people say we are silly: If we don’t, they say we are too serious. If we stick close to the job We ought to be hunting up news. If we don’t print contributions We don’t appreciate genius. And if we do, the paper is filled with junk. If we make a change in the other fellow’s write-up, We are too critical; If we don’t, we are asleep. If we clip things from other papers We are too lazy to write them our¬ selves ; If we don’t, we are too stuck on our own stuff. Now, like as not someone will say We swiped this from some magazine. We did. (A.P.) The students and teachers welcome to their midst the four new members of the staff, Mrs. Hay, Miss Garrow, Miss Smith and Mr. Arnasson. Honoring the teachers of Winni¬ peg’s first High School and the mem¬ ory of an institution which passed with the demolition of the Maple Leaf School (the Winnipeg Collegiate), pupils and teachers of that institu¬ tion at present residing here, held a luncheon in the Eaton Grill Room on April 5th. Recognition was made of the seventy-second birthday of Mr. E. A. Garratt, principal of the Collegi¬ ate 1910-1912 and 1914-1922. An al¬ bum, containing birthday greetings from former pupils, was assembled and forwarded to Mr. Garratt who now lives in Toronto. Replying to this remembrance, Mr. Garratt wrote: “I can think of no event in my life-time which has brought me more intense pleasure than has come to me in con¬ nection with this birthday.” The death of F. H. Schofield on December 10th, 1930, and Miss B. F. Stewart on February 13th, at Victoria,
