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? W I S E W O R D S A good policy for the future is better than a good explanation of the past. Following the line of least resistance is what makes men and rivers crooked. t 'flaies need a lot of words to back them up, truth' needs but few. A sharp tongue and a dull mind are usually found in the same head. Have a good word for everyone or else keep silent. - V 43i

But seldom-only once to be exact-have these articles come from the hand of someone from another nation. The occasion referred to was when, in the 1934 edition, Miss Fumika Iwanaga of Yokohama, japan, and a member of Class 2-F at the time, gave us first-hand interesting glances at My Native Land . Again we find among ourselves a friend from another nation - this time from the land of Uncle Sam. Miss Violet Meekins from Wash- ington, North Carolina, is our visitor and has registered with Class z-D. The following article is not just the usual story. It is an interview in which Miss Meekins has agreeably responded to all my questions, giving us Hrst hand impressions of Canada as she is seeing it. In addition, she answers many questions about the sunny south and paints interesting word pictures of life and customs around her home. Violet, how did you happen to come up to Canada? e Well, I have always wanted to come, be- cause my brother who had been up here talked about skiing and skating and such things so much that I wanted to try the sports out. if Did you have much trouble in persuading your father and mother to let you come? '4Oh, I donit know. I kept trying to persuade them so long that they finally gave in. 'fHow long do you plan to stay in Canada? L'Until next june, anyway. Did you have any striking impressions as you stepped out of your own country into a strange land? No, not particularly, for it was summer when I came up here and everything was more or less as it was at home. What feature of Ottawa interested you most on your arrival? The Parliament Buildings impressed me very much. They are so different from ours. I soon noticed too that swimming was a different matter from what I am used to for the water is so much colder. I live about fifty miles inland, but we take a run down to the sea-shore every once in a while and we can stay in for two or three hours without getting chillyf' Would you point out a few of the novelties you found in Canada? It was very odd to see no darkies. Nearly half the population of our town is coloured. The horses surprised me too. At home mules, with long skinny legs and ears like corncobs, do all the work. They stand the heat better. , I suppose the difference in temperature is very marked? Oh, yes. Our coldest weather comes in December when the thermometer falls to about thirty-two degrees. Everyone is freezing and lConlinued on Page 100 45?
