Eight and one-half years ago, through the instigation of SIX teachers and TWU graduates. a constitution was drawn up and the nucleus of our present organization was formed. Vp until three to four years ago we tlourished and built up the Iinest association of its kind in the city. We had a large work- ing capital and had established a reserve fund. We enjoyed monthly meetings of both educational and entertaining variety. a magniticient annual dance, moonlight sails across the lake and two excellent plays. All this was accomplished during the worst period of the World Slumpu. Then things started to slide. We promoted the same high standard of meetings. but our attendance dropped. Fortunately, we were able to retain the faithful fifty originals who came out rain or shine, snow or sleet. They enjoyed a good time and were glad to be still associated with the school. Now-why is it the Alumni is not able to attract the more recent graduates to our meetings? Last fall at our annual meeting there were eighteen present and only one of these was a recent grad , the others graduated six to eight years ago. This was not very encouraging to the incoming ex- ecutive, Do you know about the graduates' associationg are you so busy after graduat- ing that you are not able to attend one meet- ing a .monthg or is it that school has become so distasteful that you do not want to be EASTERN ECHO associated with it after you have completed your term? Next fall, when we have our annual meet- ing in October, let the Alumni see a hundred per cent. attendance of the latest graduates. Let us start the '37 and '38 season off with and re-establish the association on solid footing, so that we may have contact with the present students and create an interest which is now sadly lacking. .Xll this can, and will be done if the graduating class co-operate with the a ban g a more a cle tscr present old-timers and turn out regularly to all our meetings. Particularly we commend to you, our Badminton Club, which meets every Friday night in the boys' gymnasium, our Dance and our llramatic Group, This year it was our pleasure to have the l'resident of the Students' Council and the llresident of the Girls' .Xthletics at two of our executive meetings. We sincerely hope the association thus established will be mutually advantageous. May we see YOL' next Fall.

The exchange magazines received were read with enjoyment and interest. Their quality is excellent. and great ability on the part of students of the various secondary schools is shown in them. The Tccll. Fltlslz-Ilulijtzx, .Y. S. The cover of your magazine is cleverly de- signed and is appropriate to your type of school. Loyola College Rt'zrimt'A.llozztreal. Your editorial staff is to be complimented on the splendid magazine it turned out. The large number of students' pictures add to it very much. Rt'Z'f!iIL Lt7J1dl7ll Central Ci. I. The name of your magazine in each corner of the page is a rather attractive idea, I think. Original, too. Glad to see that you have such a large and active orchestra. The poem liter- nal Beauty and the illustration with it are certainly prize selections. The .lrgoryYCe11trt1l Iliqlz School of Cllllllllfftil' fHtllI7llfl7ll J. You have a very fine collection of essays. I think your foreign correspondence was quite an attraction. Glad to see you have such a fine Book Review. It is something every ma- gazine should have. The Omclz'vOt1lcwoo11' Collegiate Iazstilzzfr. Your magazine is excellently arranged. The Borrowed Goods section is certainly interest- ing. It seems to unite all students. The .Yew Era- Branrlou Collegiate Instilzztc. The page of personal opinions is a great idea. We all like to give vent to our feelings sometime. The llrincipals greeting is general- ly placed at the beginning of the magazine, and effectively too. I think. .-Y few short stor- ies would perhaps add to your book another year. The Oraclf'-Lolzfloaz Sllllfll C. I. You have a very fine magazine in every respect. Your illustrations are good and add to the poetry considerably. EASTERN ECHO .vi O Vox Lj't'1'lvLlSNiftll' C. I., Ottawa. You have a good magazine. one that not only contains humour but also gives the stu- dents helpful advice. Your cover is distinctive and is worthy of the rest of the magazine. Tin' Twig-l'11itw'1'5iz'y of Toronlo St'l1oolS. Your illustrations are super. Your coloured pictures add a great deal to your magazine: also the humorous sketches. The entire book merits hearty congratulations. The 1'wpif111i.it f.lli111it'o High Sclzool. Glad to see you had a rugby personnel. I think perhaps a school magazine can dispense with Style Hints. Your cover was certainly very interesting and original. The Iirlzoes - Pr'lf'1'horo11gl1 Collogitzlc Ilzxfitzlfe K Voetztfozztll School. Congratulations on your section called Purple Patches . The great variety of ma- terial in it certainly adds a great deal to your magazine. The essay l.ife in a Heronryv is of particular interest. I think. however, that sketches usually give the magazine a better appearance than the lwlocks. lcitlllllllllclll on page all Si: gi l: l lo'll 'iN I! -. Fifty-one
