With- in its pages are memories which will grow more precious with the passing of each year. It is our hope that this Ectsteriz. Echo will serve the purpose for which it is intended, that herein you will find the pictures of friends and com- rades, and that the whole effect will be to preserve memories of happy, useful days at Eastern Commerce. 1: ir if IT'S THE SPIRIT THAT WINS THE wise-looking owl at the top of the page never looked out on a more troubled, more chaotic world than this to-day. In days like these when civilizations are toppling, when the world's finan- cial structure is disrupted, it is necessary, above all, to maintain the Hesprit de corps , which brings us to the subject. The success of business, the theatre and politics is built upon the enthus- iasm of those engaged in them. The essential quality is simply a further expression of school spirit, which should be acquired here. You are in school now, training for your life's work. Work with spirit, TweNe with a song on your lips and happi- ness in your heart. Then, when you enter the cruel, cold world Cas some thinkl you will face it with composed outlook. Do what is to be done-and with animation. The place to develop spirit is right here in school. Go to- games and cheer yourself hoarse. Take part in after-school activities. Smile when detained, it isn't the worst thing that could happen. In short, accept everything with equan- imity. And then we can truly say that a school spirit is ours. if if if EASTERN'S GRADS ENTER VARSITY LAST fall, two tall, alert-looking chaps walked up to the Registrars desk at the U. of T. and enrolled in the Commerce and Finance course. An ordinary event, yes, but an important one for Eastern Commerce. Those two' boys-Ronald Sheen and Wilson Woodrow-were the first students to enter the University from a commercial school. A striking and novel achievement! Congratulations! Messrs. Sheen and Woodrow. The school is proud of you and looks forward to your capturing a share of Varsity 'laurels. -YE EDITOR.

ECHO'S ADVERTISING SALESMEN GVER the top! Thanks to our advertising sales- men we again succeed in publishing a moderately priced Eastern Echo. The boys have worked hard, toiling for hours after school and the edi- torial staff wishes to take this oppor- tunity of expressing its appreciation of their good work. Special thanks are due Mr. Powell, the advertising adviserg Dave Max- well, advertising manager, and Doug- las Wigmore, assistant advertising manager. Few realize just how important a factor advertising is to a publication, especially a school magazine. With- out advertisments the magazine would not be available for much less than a dollar a copy.

AU REVOIR TO MISS SPENCE MARGARET SMYTH, 45: EIGHT years ago, at the opening of Eastern Commerce, Miss Margar- etta Spence was one of the few who had the distinction of being a mem- ber of the first teaching staff. Her task was that of teaching the ever- fascinating French language and also English literature and composition. In 1929 she was granted a leave of absence so that she might study abroad, under the Ontario government scholarship she had won. We were happy to have her return the follow- ing year and enjoyed immensely the interesting tales of her trip, which she was always willing to relate. Now Miss Spence has gone, not to return, except, perhaps, as a visitor in the distant future. But we realize that our loss was another's gain, for last March 25, in Knox Chapel, Miss Spence became the bride of Mr. Ly- man Drake, Jr. nuptial festivities, left for Chicago reside. After the usual the happy couple where they now Miss Spence's favorite author is Galsworthy, while Noel Coward, as a MISS SPENCE playwright, also gained her admira- tion. When asked what incidents or experiences she liked best while at Eastern, Miss Spence said that she very much enjoyed her association with the Girls' Club, and that she had a lovely time at the school dances. Her memories of Eastern Commerce, she told us, would always bring a great deal of happiness, and to every student and teacher she wished the best of success for the future.
