' - ixacy X ' ' o ews from the l D Service - Alumni I often think of the High Schoolimd more often of you people in it. It is, in fact, a special kind -of extra fine day- dreaming that I indulge in, and you can bet it's going to take at least another war to budge me out of Elmira if I ever get back. E. W. KENDALL I have quite often wondered what is happening to the fellows who went to school about the time that I did. I suppose it never occurred to one of us at that time that we would be doing things such as we are now. We have been, or in cases such as mine, will be, privileged to see parts of the world which ordinarily we would never have been in contact with. It is unfortunate that we must see them under the present conditions, but seeing them this way is probably better than not at all. I ima- gine the foremost thought of all the boys in service is of the day to come when we shall beiable to return and begin living in a manner which suits us best. That day will be a most memor- able one and' we hope it shall be soon. To the Service Alumni of Elmira High School wherever they may be, may I wish the best of luck in whatever they may be doing, as well as to any of the gang who used to be at High School in those ugood old days . FRED WEISMILLER I realize now, that the years I spent at Elmira High School were the best ones of my life, I just wish I were back there now. Itis the chaps with a bit of education who are going to get the good jobs when this squabble is over, so I hope no student at E. H. S. wastes his time to such an extent as to compromise his future. I might add that England is wonder- ful, and better than I expected-but I havenit seen any snow this winter. I will be glad to see good old Elmira again. Every success for this year's Oracle. DAVID M. ROWLAND One thing I have valued in the course of my navigator's training is the splen- did ground Work which I acquired as a student at Elmira High, and I shall always be thankful for that. an I presume that the current year book will include the hope and prayer for a SPC6dY, victorious conclusion of the war. Perhaps nextsyear's will include a thanksgiving for that viqtgry, Till then we'll endeavour to do our. part in achieving that goal. I wish thestaff and also the friends of the Year Book tinued success. HOWARD L. BRox After receiving your invitation to write a little note to the former students of the school I decided to write to- night. If you wonder why I intend to write to-night I will tell you. To-mor- row night I make my first real raid on enemy territory and God only knows what will happen. I received my first year book while I was training in Alberta and I hope to get my next one over here. The book is really wonderful to read and I' want you, The Year Book staff, to know that all of us in the services appreciate your work. I hope in the near future we will b-e home and that all of us can get together in one big celebration. I will close by wishing all of you. the best of luck in years to come and may the El- mira High School Year Book live for CVCY. BILL Lurz 61

High School years are the most care- free years of oneis life so get into all the fun Qfun, I said, not mischief 1 that is going, and into all the activities at E. H. S. and keep the old pot boiling. It isn't so long since I left E. H. S., but boy! if I could only be going back I'd get a lot more out of it, socially and academically. ADAM HACKET1' My wireless training was received at No. 2 Wireless School, Calgary, which happens to be the place of my birth. The course lasted seven months and was very interesting. I had the opportunity of flying over part of the Rockies, where th-ere is grand scenery. We meet many fine interesting chaps from all parts of the Empire and many other countries belonging to the United Nations. Now I am awaiting posting overseas. I have many fond memories of the good old days in Elmira High School, and wish you much success in the years ahead. DON WEICHEL olll' Fashion Show in April ' 'One of the highlights of the year was Grade X's ingenious method of selling war saving stamps to the whole school to send more bombers to Britain-a fashion show with the fair young gen- tlemen of the class as models fSee Candid Shotsvl. The troupe consisted of ravishing beauties second to none on the contin- ent. David Steele appeared in a chic dressinglgown complete with curlers, hair net and powder puff. Glen Gabcl and Grant Pirie showed what grandma wore while working in her victory gar- den and what our defence workers wear to-day. Tom Galley made a striking entrance riding on a bicycle and wear- ing sports jacket and shorts. Jack Moyer posed as a glamorous bathing beauty fWe've not been able to find out yet what happened to the rest of his outfitll. But Ken Israel and Ken Klinckman really put us all to shame when they modelled school-girl en- sembles. We hear Paul Schmehl has been in great demand since he made such an at- tractive house-keeper in his flattering home economics uniform. What the up-to-date matron should wear on a shopping expedition Land also how she should sit-refer again to Candid ,Shotsvl was carefully mo- delled by ,lim Miller. We regret that Eaton's and Simpson's milliners were denied the benefit of the showing of millinery salesmanship presented by Clayton Hahn. In his hand a hat was no longer a mere hat-it was a thing' of beauty, a work of art. Then came our charming night club- bers: Don Henrich in a gorgeous pink party dress, Jack Allgeier in a soft yel- low gown with white accessories and accompanied by Shirley Good in tuxedo and bow tieg and George Lee bedecked with rubies, sapphires and emeralds f of chicken ring originl and escorted by two pretty airmen, Verlin Cope and Gladys Kraemer. Bob Roe finished it off by appear- ing in a becoming pink flannelette nightgown with cap and hot-water bottle. Ho-hum, and so to bed! The curtain call brought all the ac- tors and actresses on the stage, at which time we all sang The King and gave our rousing yell. IRI-:NE MALINSKY, XA ... ..-1-1 Doing Your Share The holulays are now in sight, And you must do your share, No matter if yo-u're dull or bright-e There is work everywhere. T he farmers all need help these Jays From pupils- big and strong, But cloift expect too much praise, For many things go wrong. Working on the haymow high, Storing away the hay, With the fork we'll make it fly And get it done to-day. ALICE MARTIN, IX B 68
