6 E. H. S. YEAR BOOK IbDITORIAlt) In presenting this, the first publication of its kind in the history of Eastwood High School, we hope that we have begun a school activity which will continue in future years. It has been our ambition and the ambition of students before us for some time, to advance a project of this kind. But until this year, the staff and executive have deemed it inadvisable in the face of existing difficulties. However, the school has been growing rapidly, its activities have been increasing, and it was decided this term to make the experiment. The task that we undertook has not been simple, in these difficult times. Business men of all classes are cutting down on their expenses more than ever, so that advertisements have not been easy to secure. However, we have found every one willing to help in any way possible and through the co-operation of all, our task has been greatly lessened. We take this opportunity to express our thanks to students and teachers alike, for contributions received and for the time and effort expended in the preparation of the book. Mr. Sim, our staff representative, was ready with his valuable advice whenever called upon. The students, too, in securing so large a circulation and paying up so promptly, com stituted an important factor in the success of the publication. It is only through such co-operation that a project of this kind is made possible. To Mr. Leaver, who contributed the graduation class prophecy, a special vote of thanks is extended. We feel sure that very member of the class will treasure the work in the years to come, as they are reminded by Mr. Leaver’s poetry of the friends they made at Eastwood. For the graduating class who are leaving Eastwood to enter various other fields of activity, we wish the best of success. We realise that in these times the outlook for young people leaving school is not very bright. It has been estimated that there will be approximately 200,000 boys and girls graduate from various schools in Canada this year, and there will be employment for about 5 per cent of them. However, we feel that pros¬ perity can not be far distant. Our present economic conditions contain every essential for the working of human intelligence in the bringing about of a better state of society, and we feel sure that the training the students have received in Eastwood, will be sufficient to fit them to make their contribution to the work of the world.

WALKER, B. SMITH, M. COLVILLE (Captain). EASTWOOD’S JUNIOR HOCKEY TEAM Consistent success seems to be the watchword of our junior teams. For the fourth time in seven years the junior team has won the cham¬ pionship. The personnel of this year’s team is as follows: Mac Colville is captain and centre forward of the team. Mac learned his hockey in the rough and ready play on the corner rinks of our locality. His gritty aggressive style of play should carry him far in his chosen sport. Billy Smith, slim left-winger, comes from a hockey family. Billy will be remembered for his priceless counters in the first play-off game with Garneau. George McMaster, right-winger, completes a smooth-working for¬ ward line. His strong points are speed and stick-handling ability. Ted Allard is a flaming-haired defence man. Besides being reliable on defence, Ted has a habit of breaking through and scoring on a lone or combined rush. Arthur Southworth pairs up with Ted Allard on defence. Arthur realizes that he is on defence to stop the opposition and he does just that. Willard Walker is gcaltender. He broke into fast company this year. He forms a very essential part of the defence trio : Allard, Southworth and Walker. Albert Grassick is a relief man functioning on defence or forward as the occasion demands.
