I Q - J ' v Iii' DEDICATION We esteem it an honour this year to dedi- cate the Etl.?ft'I'1I Echo to the Coronation of their Majesties, King George YI and Queen Elizabeth. We feel that we have been very fortunate in securing suitable illustrations for the carrying out of this theme. We regret that. due to a previous ruling which barred Governor-General Tweedsmuir from contributing Uforeworrlsu to school magazines. we are unable to print a message written by His Excellency. We have the honour, however. of publishing a personal portrait of His Excellency. which was sent directly to the Iirlm. o NEW FEATURES We have endeavoured to introduce several new features in the 1937 issue of the Echo. Two new departments, the Music Depart- ment and the Photography Department, have been established, and we hope that they will meet with success. Another change is the division of the Literary Department into two groups-fSenior and junior. The size of the magazine has been in- creased to 8 by ll , and the number of pages has been increased from 104 to 120. We hope that these new features will add Ten to your enjoyment of your school magazine. Also. we wish to take this opportunity of thanking all e teachers and students - who have contributed to whatever success volume nine of the Efzsferlz Echo! achieves. 0 EASTERN COMMERCE Our school is growing steadily. This year. it was found necessary to add two portables. as well as several other forms. In all. there are twenty-one Firsts, eleven Seconds. seven Tbirds. three Fourths, three Specials and one Co-operative Merchandising Class. The total enrolment in September, 1936, was l.961. 0 STAFF CHANGES Several changes have been made in our teaching staff since last term. The new ad- ditions are as follows: Miss Pinchin. from Runnymede Collegiate Institute: Miss Thatcher. from the Ontario College of Edu- cation: Mr. Rae, from Jarvis Collegiate In- stitute. These teachers. although they have been with us but a short time, have proved them- selves to be very popular, and we hope that they will enjoy being members of the staff of Eastern Commerce.

A very popular member of the teaching staff left us at the end of june, when Miss Ker was married to Mr. Egerton Ryerson Young. Also. we regret that Miss Elliott has been unable to be with us since last October because of illness. but we have been fortunate to have Miss Hounsom with us during that time. 0 ECHO STAFF Several members of the Echo Staff have been employed since September. We feel that they should be given some recognition fo: their part in the work of the Echo. The former members of the Echo Staff were:fA Lillian Challis. Exchange Editor: Lorne Charleton. Humour Editor: Crawford jones. Literary Editor: Douglas Lancaster, Short Story Editor: Lucy Reuhens. Assistant Art Editor. 0 IN MEMORIAM Since the last publication of the Ifclm, the deaths of two line students. Marie O'Connor, of 3C, and Winnifred Bell. of IK. have occurred. We wish to extend our deepest sympathy to the families and friends of these young girls. in their recent loss, 0 THE EDITORS' CONVENTION On Friday and Saturday, November oth. and 7th., five members of our Echo stag at- tended the eleventh annual convention of high school editors of Ontario. This convention was held under the auspices of Sigma Phi Fraternity of the University of Toronto, and was conducted in a most satisfactory fashion, We were addressed by many well-known people engaged in magazine work upon such topics as Paper and Type Faces, Binding. Ad- vertising and Circulation, Art, Photography and Make-up of Magazines. These lectures were very entertaining, as well as instructive. We were able to learn still more by visit- ing the Daily Star, Macleans and Brigdens, Limited. EASTERN ECHO In the evening, a banquet and dance was held, which gave those who attended an op- portunity of becoming better acquainted with their fellow editors. Although the convention is over, the facts which were learned there are still impressed upon our minds. and we hope that they have enabled us to turn out a school magazine which meets with your approval. 0 A RENOWNED PHYSIOLOGIST john james Rickard Macleod, MB.. Ch.B.. D.Sc.. Ll.D.. F.R.C.P.. F,R.S.. Regius Profes- sor of Physiology in the Cniversity of Aber- deen, who died at his residence in Aberdeen on loth March. 1935. gave distinction to the Cniversity of Toronto and to the City of Toronto. The Eastern High School of Commerce congratulates The Aberdeen Grammar School in numbering among its distinguished graduates a gentleman of such refinement: a scholar of such kindness: a scientist of such distTnction. He was known among us in Toronto for his quiet manner. for his genius as an organizer. and for his confidence in the pos- sibility of development in Canada. The discovery of insulin was the result of ardent co-operation in constructive re- search , In this co-operation young Canadians obtained distinction. Dr. Macleod added to that which he had already secured, As a man. he had a rare capacity for friendship. He was kind and thoughtful. His high mind gave him a pre-eminence enjoyed by few. In a country. relatively new, men of genius have rare opportunities. They give a push in beginnings. They start the new land by in- spiring its people with the results of tradition and culture. This is the gift of men like the distinguished Aberdonian to Canada and to Canadians: and Canadians dare to believe that in time they will justify by their con- tribution the confidence of men who have brought the culture, the tradition and the hopes of other lands, particularly to other parts of the British Empire, to the Dominion of Canada.
