A noisy crowd of forty-seven relations l stream into her humble hut and gaze about greedily. Steaming pots of stew and piles of ripe fruit litter the floor.

The merry relations hastily bid Grandmother Euflasina Maria the respects of REILLY 5-C She, herself, devours the last crumbling remnant. Irreverently, her relations gulp down this Hnal offering of hers. Scarcely waiting to embrace her, they tumble out of the hut and go their way. Grandmother Euflasina Maria watches the last one disappear from view. A hundred and fifteen years is a long time to wait, but it won't be long now.

Vain grew the conquering roar: silent the vision of life. Firm lay the brow and the arms of bright steel, Disdaining to falter, scorning to yield, But the arrow of Death had achieved fatal aim, And displayed mortal body, the spoil. Quoth a general nearby: Behold valiant dust Of one accustomed to conquer, Lord of the world. Blood was his triumph, and Blood was his lust, And Blood was his triumph at last. God will wreak vengeance on the tormented soul, For the scourge of the world and the sorrow of lives. Yet methinks there is even some justice on earth: mental distress, For material wealth was his pleasure, his aim, Sure to the mind to dispel with the soul, Fate is reward, triumph and hope of the just. An aide of the chief, standing o'er his lord's corpse, Was moved in his heart to defend the dead's claim. Were the lines of your good the bounds of ' 1 mankind. You dream of a Christ in virtuous robes, i Resplendent in glory, in honour, sincere, To dispense in exactness rewards of blind lives. His was no mind of a wavering doubt, Clear-cut his decisions, ambition his goal. He lived in ideals and he died for them true. Vengeance on earth he nor reasoned nor felt, And he fought with his cause to the last. Were advance of the world an ideal or a goodly life? 'T is the choice ,twixt the former and the latter, 'tis the progress of earthly life! Mols - ---f- Y -

UX GLEBANAGHR- ROBSON BLACK Urs'rANmNG ANIONG the graduates of last year's Fifth Form is the figure of Robson Black. Gifted with unusual mental energy, he developed a background of knowledge that made him a formidable con- testant in any academic struggle. Quiet and unassuming, he possessed the sense of seeing thc funny side of class-room life as well as leading in the serious side, and his presence was an in- centive to both pupil and teacher. He entered Glebe from Mutchmor Public School in 1930, the winner of a High School Entrance Scholarship, and, as a ninety per- center , his progress through our ,institution was marked by medal after medal, until his final achievement on graduating last june with the credit of five scholarships from the Univer- sity of Toronto. These scholarships would normally have a gross value of rover 35z,ooo. He holds the Edward Blake scholarship in Physics, Chemistry, Algebra, and Geometry, the Prince of Wales scholarship in any nine papers, the James Harris scholarship in Mathe- matics and Science, the Edward Blake scholar- ship in Mathematics and Physics, the William Hardie scholarship in English and Latin, and the Thorburn prize for General Proficiency. Although a student of the first rank, Robson enjoys both tennis and swimming, and my memory associates him, not only with the class- room but with his motorcycle, and especially with his sailing canoe on Dow's Lake. 44 nAy5ALERE FLAMMAM DOROTHY JANSEN HE LIFE of Glebe has been compara- tively short. Yet to have gained the highest average percentage ever won in the Fifth Form even in the somewhat brief his- tory of the school is no mean achievement. The glory and honour thereof fall to Dorothy Jansen, who continued to demonstrate definite scholastic ability by acquiring several scholar- ships at the Matriculation examinations. She was awarded the second Edward Blake Scholar- ship in French and German of the University of Toronto, the Mary Redmond of St. Michael's College, the Knights of Columbus Scholarship for Girls, and a prize of thirty dol- lars given by the University Womenls Club of Ottawa to the girl in the Glebe Collegiate having the best average standing for the year. Dorothy, however, distinguished herself at Glebe, not only by her capacity for worl-2, but by many other fine qualities, her modesty, unfailing good humour, her willingness to help, her interest in the Lux-her good sportsmanship in the class and out of it. We gladly send with her to St. Michael's College our best wishes for her success at the University of Toronto. -H. C. SF if Sk At present Robson is registered in the Physics and Mathematics honour class of Toronto University. He says he enjoys his course, has very strong competition and plenty of work. ' -N.
