' 5 l EDITORIAL 'U 4lI EMPUS fugitl As we look back on the year 1931-32 we acknowledge it has been a very successful one as far as the activities of the school were concerned. The largest enrollment ever, since the doors of the school were opened in September, 1925, was witnessed this year when nearly seventeen hundred students registered in the different courses offered them. This year saw the introduction of a Retail Merchandising class into our school. As it is the first class of this type in Toronto, we are very proud to have the distinction. A Glee Club was also organized which now affords the fair sexn a great opportunity to display their talent in this line. The Students' Council is feeling the pinch of the depression slightly, but otherwise is running along very smoothly. Its sub-societies are func- tioning exceedingly well and are receiving loyal support by the student body. Qur Junior Rugby team acco-mplished a great feat by reaching the city semi-finals, a position often dreamed of in -previous years but never realized. Wliile the other school teams did not win any championships or laurels, the keen interest shown by the students and teachers was both encouraging and gratifying to the participants. We take this opportunity to thank the Principal and staff for their interest shown and assistance given to all student activities. -H. K. E. The Eastern Echo NCEE again we bring you the Eastern Echo, the magazine with a punch. This year the editors were again elected by the students of the school. That the students are good judges is shown by the results. The Echo is a permanent record of all the social, athletic, and literary activities of the school. We believe that this issue of the Echo will not only equal but will well surpass the preceding issues in every way. The students have shown great interest in the new department called the Question Box and also in the notices posted from time to time. Since the class paper contest finished the edit-ors have been busy reading material. The student or class who- has been successful in their contributions are to be congratulated, and to those who were not successful we say, Try, try, try again.

EASTERN ECHO 15 X x N XXX 1 !f fff! s Www Ni 1 XX.. NxxtlUlffiMfZ2f Z E have reached the time when we can lttttli back on four varied years in our Alumni Association. ,Xnd how varied these years have been, only those who have watched the Association grow can realize. From a group of some fifty members meeting' in a class-room and dancing on the cement floor in the basement to a meeting' in the Auditorium with an attendance of 150 to Ztfltt dancing on the hardwood tloor til- the gymnasium is only one change. lYe have growng there is no denying' that. lYhat a struggle those tirst two years were! Always the question of expenses :md the problem ut' tinding enough money to meet them. Cilur first -Xnnual dance held at Kimbourne Hall could in no way be called a success and left a burden for the next year to carry on. The second Annual dance was quite an improve- ment over the previous year, but it did not clear up the former year's debts. And so the third year came with a rather depressing outloolc ahead, but with a fixed de-termination on the part of the executive that this year must be different if the Alumni were to continue. XYhether it was the combination of the new Auditorium and the gymnasium or whether we had surmounted the last of Our obstacles, the year went out in a burst ot' glory. lt was as if we were receiving three years' award in one. Hur dance, held at the Savarin, was our most successful venture, and left us for the tirst time with a comfortable balance in the bank. The fourth year has continued much as the third. Hur tirst meeting for the year was held in October and the following executive was elected : s- Honorary President--Mr. VValter Keast. Past President-Mr. Ernest Osborne. President-Mr. Milton Hamilton. Recording Secretary-Miss Eldred Mahaffy. Corresponding Secretary-Miss Rheta Robertson. Treasurer-Mr. Alfred Harrison. Executive-Miss Elizabeth Tayler, Mr. NtValter Smith, Mr. Leonard Smith, Mr. Leonard Mills, Miss Pearl Howe. The first social meeting was fairly well attended and had for its main feature a talk with slides bv Professor Griffin on the Head Hunters ot Formosa . Early in January we had a musical evening with a variety ot'
