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.

UX GLEBANAGEQQ- DUNCAN R. E. WHITMORE iziumifs 'ma most unique honour won by the graduating class of 1935 was the Reitch .Scholarship in French offered by Queen's University, obtained by Duncan Whitmore. This coveted award is a particularly valuable one of three hundred dollars. The student, therefore, who is fortunate enough to qualify has succeeded against many capable competitors throughout the Dominion. The type of paper, too, is unusual as it requires a wide cultural knowledge as well as minute and thorough pre- paration of one academic subject, in this case, French. Needless to say, such a successful result is not the reward of one year's work only but of careful effort throughout the entire course. Duncan Whitmore was medallist in his form each year up to Honour Matriculation and in his graduating year obtained a ninety per cent average in his Fifth Form work. While essentially a student, Duncan Whit- more interested himself in other activities of the school. I-le will be remembered in his capable presentation last spring of Mr. Venables in Barrie's play, What Every Woman Knows? He was also an able debater in the Public Speak- ing Club, while his interest in science was evident by his work in the Science Club. This last interest he is now continuing in the study of geology at Queen's University. We hope that as gratifying rewards will come to him as have been his during his Collegiate days.-E.M.B. rl QSDALERE FLAMMAM l l l DONALD BRUNTON NOTHER s'rUDEN'r whd brought scholar- ship laurels to Glebe during the past year, is Donald Brunton. Donald won one of the Knights of Columbus scholarships. valued at 3400, four of which are given annually to Roman Catholic students of Ontario. A former student of Mutchmor Public School, he entered Glebe in 1930. Since then he has won four General Proficiency medals, besides taking a deep interest in general school activities. De- ciding to spend another year at High School before entering University, Donald has proved himself a clever student of economics, and ablv Hlls the position of Vice-President of the newly- formed International Affairs Club. His scholarship comes as a fitting reward to a bril- liant career in the school, and we wish him every success in continuing his studies at University. -L. F.-5A. S 'F fl?
