If the pupils disregard these rules and present some of their own this organization will break down like a machine, and give the school a bad name.Also the pupils themselves will take away their privileges, such as sports, year books, assemblies for im¬ portant dates or social fuhctions. A school like this becomes a prison to the pupils, as the teachers and the principal must clamp down on them, taking away much of the friendliness between pupil and teacher. When a school is like this, it might as well not be in operation. On the other hand, a school where teachers and pupils work together on friendly terms, thinking of what is best for the school and pupils, where the rules are obeyed cheerfully, becomes a school with a high standard of work and a real spirit of deraoc racy. The pupils of Earl Grey have every reason to be proud of the school they attend. The entire system is based on a democratic oblig¬ ation to give pupils every freedom and privi¬ lege possible. In the past our school has main¬ tained a high standard of work and a sports- man-like spirit in play. It is up to the pupils to pitch in and do their share of the work, for only through co-operation can we do our best and keep the school ' s standard high. If we want as much as possible from our school then we must give it as much as pos¬ sible. This doesn ' t mean only on the playing field but also in the everyday classes. By this I mean giving our undivided attention to the teachers and showing them every possible courtesy. These are the things that are re¬ garded the highest. Earl Grey is a fine exam¬ ple of a well run school, so let’s do our best to keep this spirit and not forget the cour¬ tesy which has helped to make our school a good one. On behalf of the graduating class, I would like to thank all of the teachers and Mr. Hen»- ly for their untiring efforts and unselfish devotion to make this year for us a success. THE EDITOR

MR . IfcLEOD RETIRES.. . This year one of our teachers - and now our vice-principal - is retiring. We all know Mr. McLeod, and pupils of Earl Grey from twenty- five years back can remember classes with him. On the occasion of his retirement, we thought it would be fitting to have in our year book an account of his life. Until Gr.8, Mr.McLeod attended Fort Rouge School. For his high school training, he was a student at the old Central Collegiate, which has now been replaced by Daniel MacIntyre. His favorite subjects were languages: English, French and Latin. He disliked music as he claims he couldn ' t sing. Although he wasn ' t a great athlete he did enjoy skating. He attended Manitoba College of the Uni¬ versity of Manitoba and took the Classics Course.This course took four years to complete, The first two years were devoted to a General Course followed by two years of Latin and Greek only. Mr.McLeod ' s favorite spot is London and in¬ deed it must be for he ' s travelled to the British Isles four times. He enjoys travelling by boat but would sooner travel by air - ' if it weren ' .t so expensive . He has travelled through the States, particularly California and hopes to visit Rome and Italy. Before the end of the First World War he served in England for a few months but didn ' t manage to get across to France. In World War II he instructed the cadet corp at Earl Grey School with the help of the other men teachers. He received his first teaching experience at ‘a summer school near Lake Manitoba. His first permanent position was at the Aberdeen School where he spent two years. Last January Mr.McLeod completed 25 years of service at Earl Grey. He taught Latin and Maths and has had a few classes in Spelling and English. Latin is his favorite teaching subject. Mr.McLeod has a few words to say about the importance of Latin: 1. ' The influence on the English language, 2. ' Roman civilization has taught us the worth of the individual which is the basis of our democratic life ' . Lately, he has taken to photography as a hobby. He enjoys taking pictures of landscapes and scenery. His favorite pet is the dog - all kinds and breeds, ' as long as he ' s a friendly fellow ' . At present time he own a cocker spaniel. When asked what his predictions for the stu¬ dents of to-day were, he replied: ' Students of today ought to make every success in life.They are all right - and doing good work. Although the people often say that the modern gener¬ ation is shiftless, they are as energetic as generations gone before . Following his retirement Mr.McLeod will re¬ side in Vancouver. After he is settled, he plans to begin his travels again. His hope is to reach London in time for the Coronation. We are all sorry to see Mr. McLeod leave, and we wish him all the joys of retired life. ' Vale, Magister ' by Vivian Verstrate Gwen Hogg Margaret Lyons
