Page 2 LUX GLEBANA Q9111' ing N MAY 12th, 1937, throughout five continents attention was fixed on a'ceremony at Westminster Abbey in London proclaiming George the Sixth as crowned King. No more than a few thousand witnessed the crowning, that solemn ceremony of dedication, but waiting and listening with these in united loyalty were five hundred million citizens of an Empire that is established in every part of the globe. Nothing like this had been known in history. Twenty-seven years earlier his father had been crowned as His Most Excellent Majesty George the Fifth, by the Grace of God, of Great Britain, and the British Dominions beyond the Seas, King, Defender of the Faith, Emperor of India. But when on May the 12th, 1937, his son, George the Sixth, was crowned King of the great self-governing Dominions, the coronation took on a significance such as has been unknown before. During that twenty-seven years of his father's reign, by a series of con- stitutional changes culminating in the Statute of Westminster, Canada and the other Dominions had acquired the status of free and independent nations answerable in nothing to the Mother of Parliaments at Westminster, but united together by a common allegiance to the crown. By certain nations such a unity is misunderstood. To them, it seemed the 'break-up of the Empire. How little they understood the life ofthe Empire! Had they been present in homes of the people of the Empire and sat with them as they listened to the late King's Christmas broadcasts in the closing years of his life, they would have seen the emotion created in the hearts of all citizens by the tenderly parental tone of that beautiful voice. Then they might have understood the reference in the statute: the crown is the symbol of the free association of the members of the British Common- wealth of Nations and . . . they are united by a common allegiance to the crown . . . - In connection with these words Mr. John Drinkwater writes: That is the bond, a bond that operates in the King's sovereignity and in that alone. In their free association these people look to one head, each with the right of direct appeal, and through him proclaiming their brotherhood. It is a ma- jestic conception and has a unique spiritual sanction in the World of politics. Itis the best example yet shown of the binding strength of co-operative good- W1 . This month we welcome our King and Queen to Canada. In the warmth of our welcome to them let those nations which look and hope for the disinte- gration of the Empire see our love and devotion to the King, and our loyalty to the Empire and that for which it stands-justice and freedom.

We are now living in a vastly changed world and under such abnormal conditions that most of the old rules, regulations and precepts which assisted our parents are of little value in enabling us to chart our course through life. Today we have a very different R to consider,-this being REALITY. The curricula of today are planned to fit students for the business and professional world of tomorrow. They are replete with reality. The hobbies and pastimes of present day students present reality in unusually attractive orms, When I was a collegiate student it was possible to leave school during any year of the course, to immediately obtain gainful employment and to carve out a career in the business world. In the present world of reality collegiate graduates and under graduates in search of employment are in competition with University graduates having a superior academic education. In the absence of some special qualification they generally lose out in this competition. The Ottawa Collegiate Institute Board now employs teachers with extra- curricular experience in preference to those without. In the business and professional world candidates for employment with hobbies are rated higher than those without because they have a more general knowledge of the real: ities of the world which they have taught themselves and they also have preference in positions of responsibility because they are -more acceptable risks to bonding companies. The special knowledge which you have gathered outside of academic work ensures your employability and thereafter may make you indispensable to your employer. It behooves us therefore to plan our future early and fit ourselves for both early business employment and advanced professional attainments by supplementing our academic learning with some extra-curricular know- ledge whether it be developed through hobbies or reading or athletics. It is well to remember that the hobby of today may develop the vocation of tomorrow. The student who learns the most of reality through success in his academic Work supported with the knowledge which he has gained for himself in addition should have no fear for the future. Drag sometimes helps to get the job but more often the applicant who succeeds in obtaining employment and in holding it must attribute his success to the fact that he has what it takes. .

S ecretary- Treasurer LUX GLEBANA EDITQRIALS--...-i Edifed by JAMES WELD A Students' Parliament OR MANY years, as our school has been increasing in size, our school spirit has become less and less active. We must restore it to its former power when every copy of the magazine was dis- posed of, and more were wanted 5 when every ticket for the Concert was sold,rand standing room was at a premium 5 when Glebe teams were spurred on to victories by a gallery of enormous proportions. We have a Collegiate Council, the governing body of the school. The average student scarcely knows that it exists, can it be aught but useless in the promotion of school unity? An idea has been coalescing for some time and it would, perhaps, be not inappropriate to give it form here. If a students' parlia- ment were formed, would it not materially assist in the development of a new spirit of co-operation in the school? In the ap- proved parliamentary manner, one student Would be elected by each form to represent it in parliament. These members, not of necessity belonging to the form they repre- sent, would be, together with the present Collegiate Council, our House of Commons. The Head Boy would be Premier and the Collegiate Council his cabinet. A Senate, the teachers, would have a suspensive veto, the President, the principal, an absolute veto. Such is the bare outline of a student parliament. It could discuss matters of school policyg it could debate the expendi- ture of money now passing through the hands of the Collegiate Councilg and it could appoint various committees, one cor- responding to an English school's prefects, to assist the teachers with discipline, another, a visitors' committee. It would, beyond doubt, be a fine conjunct to the History and Civics, and English lessons, it would, from the experience the students would gain in such an assembly, greatly help them no matter what their future occupation might beg and, by drawing a greater number of Page 8 students into the school administration, it would be no little force in the rebuilding of an active school spirit. rkvlfvls Letters to the Editor? CHOOL magazines live and progress on new ideas. If this were not so our present-day year books would not differ much from the first one published at Eaton in 1785. Each year the editors must scratch their respective heads waiting for a kind Muse to inspire them. Some scatter their own pet schemes throughout the book with the result that the whole is a reflection of one personality. Others try to act as executives and allow each staff head to carry out his own ideas for his particular depart- ment. This though it may impair the form of the book enriches the matter with the colour of different individualities. Al- most all editors borrow ideas from here and there, and do not by any means scorn the Exchange Department as a source of sug- gestions. It has lately occurred to us that our own 1,724 students would yield a rich crop of bright and novel ideas, and we propose to our successor that he garner them in by means of Letters to the Editor . Some students have ideas which would benefit the school as a whole upon which they could not be induced to write a formal article, but which we might all find inter- esting if expounded in a Letter to the Editor . Then, too, constructive criticism of the previous year's LUX would be both welcome and instructive. This year, for example, we would like to know how the students feel about the Old Boys' Column for distinguished alumni 5 whether they approve of the language pages, and why the graduates proved so indifferent to the suggestion of graduating pictures. Let us hear from you, Glebites. LUX GLEBANA What the World is Looking For HE WORLD today is looking for men who are not for sale, men who are honest, sound from centre to circum- ference, true to the heart's core, men with consciences as steady as the needle to the pole, men who will stand for the right if the heavens totter and the earth reels g men who can tell the truth and look the world right in the eye g men who neither brag nor rung men who neither flag nor fiinchg men who can have rcourage without shouting itg men in whom the courage of everlasting life runs still, deep and strong, men who know their message and tell itg men who know their place and fill itg men who know their business and attend to it, men who will not lie, shirk or dodgeg men who are not too lazy to work, nor too proud to be poor 3 men who are willing to eat what they have earned and wear what they have paid forg men who are not ashamed to say No with emphasis and who are not ashamed to say I can't afford it . Mr. GARVIN. bk ak 214 Speeches E STUDENTS who have to listen to your appeals begging for some activity or other, feel we cannot urge too strongly that you, our orators , obey at least a few rudimentary rules of rhetoric. In the first place, do attempt at least a semblance of using your mother tongue correctly. English as it is mur- dered becomes trying after the first hu- morous moments. Secondly, forbear to force your witticisms upon our unretaliating heads. We are not permitted to tell you how soon they pall on us. Again, do make some attempt to let the back rows hear what you say, if the subject is Worthwhile making a speech about, surely we should all be able to hear it. Finally, be brief and to the pointg your verbosity is some- times wearing on the nerves. Do these things and you shall be honoured, ignore them, and We shall be in Bedlam. N. M. LUX GLEBANA lThe following has been slipped past the vigilant eyes of the Editor, to comply with numerous requests for its publication.- The Assistant-Editors.l RIEN DS, teachers, Glebites, lend me your ears: I come to ask a question, not to praise you. Do you as Glebites want a magazine, Or will you after all these fruitful years Forsake the LUX GLEBANA, light of Glebe, And leave our dear school's name in ig- nominy? Nay, brothers, nay-I still cannot believe it! Do Write a bit and show me 'tis not so: For if we in our purpose lack success, And are scoifed at by Lisgarites, Yet will the blame not be upon our head For we have done our part: in our fat cup- boards On the lower floor lie contracts signed and sealed Wherewith we get the best of paper for Our missive. Yea, and more we have Pages illumined with the faces fair Of our most noted men, and pictures Of the concert o'er four score 5 To these From our field men in every form We have some pearls of witg and more: Ourselves have laboured long on lines Of an ennobling sentiment. But all's too Weak: ' For, brethren, without you all is but toys, And we must either break the bond of con- tract, Or give you that-the which you most de- serve- Like to a child's book-with nought but pictures And small grains of wit- Now if ye be my friends-so help ye me- And if not, so help the grand tradition of the school And write-upon your present trials and tribulations, Or former travels, or yet some poetry. And do ye this-in such a way that all may shout 'Tis the best LUX that has so far come out. PLUCK THE FLOWER OF TODAY Quid sit futurum cras fuge quaerere . Brief is the sunshine for to-day: To-morrow's clouds will take away The laughing light that warms my play. Now is my feast, so let me dine: To-morrow dregs-to-day the wine: Brief is this moment that is mine! In careless sunshine now I'm basking 3 To-morrow's sneer to-day is masking 3 What's to be I shrink from asking. Quid sit futurum cras fuge quaerere . 77 Page 9 Prize Winners Edited by Miss D. L. HELMKAY, B.A. ACH YEAR brings to our school a number of new pupils. It is with a great deal of anticipation and spec- ulation, we, as teachers, meet each new class. It is with interest we watch the pro- gress of these pupils, throughout their years with us, their successes and their failures. When the end of the four or five years draws near, it is most gratifying to see some reach the top of their classes and obtain, along with all other rewards, the honour of placing among the Prize Winners. As I look back over a few years, I am reminded of a school Iiattended and of a fifth form classroom. It has very many happy memories of associations with fellow pupils and teachers. Over the door of that room hung a Motto- Success is Work done a little better than seems necessary . That motto has remained with me. As I look over the names of the Prize Winners, I wonder if they have not won, because of work done a little better than seemed necessary g The names and faces of many others do not appear in this magazine. Their re- ward is not so evident to us, but they, per- haps, have won in lesser ways and have, too, the satisfaction of work done better than at the time seemed necessary With even more interest, we shall watch the success of these students who are leaving us and we shall be proud and glad that we were permitted to have a share in their preparation for work in a broader field.

MCPHEE E.TILLEY Glamis Castle by t Allan Jenkins N FORFARSHIRE, Scotland, stands the ancient castle of Glamis, se-at of the Earl of Strathmore and Kinghorne. Glamis has had its place' in history from the 11th century right up to the present day. As the ancestral home of Elizabeth, our Queen, this castle should be of more than passing interest to Britishersg so, here is presented a brief pen sketch of famous Glamis. First of the line of Stuart Kings, Robert II, crowned at Scone in March 1371, be- stowed the Hanedone of Glamis on his son- in-law, John Lyon, soon after his coronation. The family of Lyon has had possession of Glamis Castle ever since. The name Glamis originated from the Gaelic word glambus, meaning a vale or wide gap. Throughout the centuries it has chang- ed, until, in the 17th century, it assumed its present form. , The English poet, Gray, in his tour of the--Highlands in 1765, stopped at Glamis Castle and, whilst there, wrote a letter to his friend, Dr. Wharton. I quote a part of his letter: We saw rising proudly out of what seems a great ,and thick wood of tall trees, the castle with ac cluster of hanging towers at the top, you descend to it gradually from the South, through a double and triple avenue of Scotch Hrs sixty or seventy feet, high, under three gateways. The enclosures that surround the house are bordered with three or four ranks of- sycamores, ashes, and white poplars of the noblest height and from seventy to a hundred years old. . '. . The third gate delivers you into a court with a broad pavement, and grass plots adorned with statues of the four Stuart Kings, bordered with old silver firs and yew trees alternately, and opening with iron palisade on either side to two square old- LUX GLEBANA: fashioned parterres .... The house from the height of it, the greatness of its mass, the many towers atop, and the spread of its wings, has really a very singular and striking appearance, like nothing I ever saw. The original structure was built in the 11th century in the Scottish baronial style. As the years went by, additions were made 3 little towers, of the French chateau type of the Louis XIV period, have added a fascinating touch to the heavy. feudal lines of the castle. In 1605, Lord Patrick Glamis had a circular stair-tower built to replace the narrow, dangerously uneven set of stairs that led to the upper stories. After the 17th century the castle had few changes made to it. Many writers, impressed with what they saw, have written stories and articles con- cerning Glamis. Two of the most out- standing are William Shakespeare in his Macbeth, and Sir Walter Scott, who, having spent a night in Glamis, writes of his ex- periences in Demonology and Witchcraft. Shakespeare put into the mouths of his characters, the thought and beauty of Glamisg entwined in the ghostliness - and horror of M acbetk. From Act 1, Scene VI, we have the speeches between Duncan and Banquoz- c DUN.. This castle hath a pleasant seat: the air Nimbly and sweetly recommends itself Unto our gentle senses. BAN.

The angels must have been in a hurry when they made him because, in the opinion of his acquaintances he was sadly lacking in brains. His one claim on posterity was that he could make the worst puns ever heard by man. This terrible weakness on his part did his rug business more harm than good until, one day, 'there came into his musty little shop, a socialite. Her very Christian-like desire to give away her money brought about a world catastrophe, as history books of the twenty-first century show. As was his custom, the shiek reeled off his sales-talk to his customer, sprinkling it atrociously with some of his vilest puns. The socialite was enchanted. She promised to send in some of her friends to hear some more of the old reptile's jokes. Lady Luck must have smiled maliciously then. In the following few months, the shiek's puns grew into a fad. Within six months they were a mania. At the end of a year they were a diseaseg at the end of eighteen months of horror they were a public menace. People like Mr. Thoms who held forth that puns were the lowest form of humour, jumped off bridges and out of windows in droves. People whose nerves were very sensitive committed suicide at the mere mention of the shiek's name. In Chicago, the police used puns as a super third degree. In Germany, Adolf Hitler continued from page 18 style, stabbing with pointed towers at the sky overhead. Artists, poets, authors, play- wrights, all have tried to capture, in their works, the feeling that this castle of Glamis has instilled in their souls. Its very aspect shows the Scottish spirit that has helped build the British Empire to the wonderful thing it is to-day, that has helped give the Flag and Throne their glorious traditions of justice and free thinking. Thus, in this stately castle, have been born and reared, through six centuries, the descendents of John Lyon, until, in the 20th century, one of its most charming daughters has become our gracious Queen Elizabeth. Page 1 4 was torn to pieces by a mob he had driven to. desperation by a pun about Jews. It might be interesting to note that a gentle- man by the name of Cohen was elected in his place on a no-pun platform. The word pun was unanimously outlawed by members of the Acadamie Francaise. Some- thing approaching a universal crisis was imminent. Mr. Roosevelt made dozens of speeches about good neighbours and wrote hundreds of notes. Mr. Mackenzie King retired to his summer-house up the Gatineau. Stolid Englishmen began to dig holes in Hyde Park again. As a last resort Mr. Neville Chamberlain Iiew over to see the shiek. He returned a bewildered, nerve-wracked image of himself. In an emergency meeting of the Cabinet it was decided that the shiek must hang by the neck 'till he was dead, dead, dead. Peace suddenly settled upon a pun- harassed world. In a secluded spot in the Sahara Desert, however, a detachment of the Coldstream Guards was slowly breaking under the constant barrage of puns from their prisoner, the shiek. All too slowly for them the day of the hanging drew near. Then, with a unanimous sigh of relief, the surviving members of the Guards saw the sun rise upon Der Tag. Joyfully they led out the shiek, dusted off the scaffold and oiled the hinges of the trap-door. But wait! Over the horizon a. cloud of dust appears. It sweeps nearer, nearer still. Now the waiting Guards can make out a messenger from the telegraph office. His bicycle skids to a stop before the com- manding ofiicer. A telegram changes hands. The C. 0.'s face turns a corpse-like white, his hands shake, his lips quiver, even his ears contribute to the unsoldierly show of agitation by drooping slightly. In the midst of a silence so heavy as to make one breathless, he turns to the shiek and croaks: You will be granted a pardon if you promise to never again make a pun. The shiek raised his head, looked about him, and then, with a Satanic glint in his eye, said, No noose is good news, and was hanged forthwith. 4120134 A physics student Went to Mr. Merkley to borrow a storage battery.

LUX GLEBANA Writing forthe Lux b Gwe1ilMorton UESS it's about time I started that story for the Lux. Jim Weld says he wants everything in by next week. Suppose I should have written it during the holidays. Meant to, but never get the urge until the eleventh hour. Oh well, it won't take long to rattle off a few words. I wonder why I've never tried before? If I couldn't do better than some of the junk they published last year. . . ! Gee, what a mess my desk's in! There's no sense starting until I clear some room. Mother's always saying if Iweren't so lazy and would tidy up I'd work twice as well. I don't want to have things distracting me in the middle of my story. Story? Might as well send in two or three contributions! Limericks are a cinch and aesthetic poetry is just a lot of pretty words. This is my last year at Glebe QI hopeb and I sure would like to see my name in print a few times. That's why most people do it anyway. Either that or else to see their brain-child taking a public bow. Well, what do'yuh know! There's my chemistry stencil! Thought it must have got thrown out. And to think I bought a new one. I'll swear it wasn't here when I was looking for it. There must be haunts in the house. Nothing ever stays where I put it and then it pops up in a drawer that I absolutely turned out in the search. Funny that mother can always find things. Right under your nose, she says. Can she be in league with the ghosts? Chemistry stencil, dictionary, bottle of ink, piece of Kleenex, hair-pin, coloured pencils, German books, calendar, song sheet, erasers, blotters, pins, red ink, pair of pliers. Why does everything have to be dumped on my desk? Eligibility card, ruler, diary. Diary. Mmm. Mustn't for- get to write in it today. I'm a couple of weeks behind. I wonder what I was doing a year ago? If I can find last year's diary -in the desk somewhere. Nope. Bookcase? Cupboard? Dressing-table? It must be in the desk. And it is. Now why wasn't it there the first time? Oh, well. Let's see. January, February. Here we are. The Latin exam was hard, but as I had only covered two ,hundred out of six hundred lines, anythingi wouldfiiiave stumpedhme.. As for the fourth form Germaniaut ors, LUX GLEBANA words fail mellltzwas without doubtzthe worst exam I ever wrote. Not exactly cheerful. Maybe that wasn't such a good idea. There! All set and ready for Work. Should I write in pencil or ink? I remember reading somewhere that Mary Roberts Rinehart writes in pencil on yellow paper- easier on the eyes. Haven't any yellow paper though. Anyway, she's old and probably has poor eyesight. The first thing is a title. Choose a good title and make your story to fit it, I always say. The thing is to get one that catches the reader's eye, like The Crimson Toe- nail or Victim Number Four. But perhaps that's too vigorous for the Lux. Broken Butterfly and Eternal Love don't seem to be just the thing either. Something about the school perhaps. The Bell Rings! Why I dropped Latin. School Spirit. As Mischa Auer says, Confidentially, it stinks. Every kid in the school has had to write on one of those in composition class. This isn't quite as easy as I thought- Caramba! I've got a honey of an idea! Glebe student falls asleep in lab where he is catching up on experiments he missed. He wakes to find the school full of activity -the various personages and characters of fact and fiction come to life. Coming out of Room 203 he sees-wait a minute! This is going a little bit too smoothly. Haven't I read something of the sort somewhere, sometime? Quick, where's last year's school magazine? Boy's athletics. Travelogues. Too far back. Literary. Omigosh! For Fifth Formers Only -someone has already done it. The so-and-so. If he hadn't thought of it, I would have. Wonder what time it is? I can hear Dad coming in now. Today's Friday and he'll have Life with him. Guess I'll go down and get it before someone snaffies it. I'll write a poem or something after dinner- Plf PF F14 f'H TM 1 ,731 'tg' Xe K , Page 15 raffifsfi '- SR' .,,-:Q --X- S wx1.if.f' .R QF IX- xl XX X N W z- . 1 - , m .

In the latter part of the nine- teenth century the Royal Aircraft Estab- lishment was founded at South Farnborough, England. It was not until 1911, however, that the army decided to establish an air battalion of Royal Engineers, one company to ex- periment with lighter-than-air craft, and the other with heavier-than-air craft. In 1912 King George V signed a charter establishing the Royal Flying Corps with Naval and Military Wings. The Naval Wing became the Royal Naval Air Service CR. N. A. SJ, remaining as such until it merged with the Royal Flying Corps gxR. F. C.J in 1918, to form the Royal Air orce. When war broke between England and Germany in August 1914, Squadrons 2, 3, 4, and 5 went to France under the comm- and of Brigadier-General Sir David Hen- derson. These squadrons were equipped with Farman Blinot and B. E. 2 C. machines. These types, were at best flimsy structures of wire, wood and fabric, mounting engines which fumed and jerked protestingly, as they carried their daring passengers aloft, The men who flew out those happy-go- lucky autumn mornings had no machine- guns for protection. Instead the pilot car- ried a service revolver and his passenger a riiile or a shot-gun firing slugs designed for cutting flying wires. But with these ill- suited weapons they flew as long as their petrol would allow, scouting for enemy troops and directing gun-fire accordingly by Morse, at the same time endeavoring to keep their slow-flying ships in the air. Up to 1915 the aerial cavalry attempted to annihilate each other by shooting at one another with their shot-guns and rifles They even attempted to drop bombs on each other. Then, in that year Anthony Fokker's speedy, easily-manoeuvered little scouts appeared on the scene. Tony Fokker was a Dutchman who had previously offered his services to the allies but had been turned down. Subsequently he turned LUX GLEBANA to the Central Powers and was received with open arms. With the appearance of these little ships which fired a machine-gun through their propellor arcs, the pendulum of aerial supremacy swung to the side of our enemy. Many an allied squadron or flight returned from a trip over the lines leaving a good number of their comrades down in enemy country. The slaughter from 1915 on was particularly strong in the R. F. C. and scarcely a week went by with- out replacements both in men and machines arriving at the front. Thus it raged for months, while such great enemy aces as Immelman and Boelke rode their stars in the heavens. The British and French brought out many pusher types perhaps the most famous being the F. E2 B. which lasted the war. ,Then late in 1915 the Constantinesco gear was invented by a Rumanian army officer and with this mounted on the ma- chines, the machine-gun could be fired through the propellor arc. With the help of this device the allies managed to stagger back to their feet. In 1917 the allies designed such splendid little scouts as the Sopwith Camel , Cso- called because of the peculiar hump on the fuselagej, the S. E5, the S. P. A. D., and the Neuports XXVII and XVIII. The Bristol works in England designed the Bristol Fighter fthe beloved Bris-fit J, a two- seater machine of fine qualifications. Of all these machines the Sopwith Camel is considered the most outstanding developed during the war. It was fast and easily manoeuvered. Moreover, it could dive like a swallow without shedding its fabric or losing its wings. The enemy countered by bringing out the Fokkers D-VII and D-VIII, the different Phalz and Albatross models. But the allies, slowly, yet surely, 'began to gain aerial supremacy and after the last great German offensive of March 1918, they reached the top and so remained until the Central Powers sued for peace in November 1918. At the end of the war the R. A. F. had a total of ten thousand, three hundred- and-fifteen planes, a good third of the pilots and men in the R. A. F. being Canadian. In March 1918 the R. F. C. was re- organized and, with the R. N. A. S. formed into the Royal Air Force. It might be noted here that the R. N. A. S. carried on the best traditions of the silent service and did remarkable workin home and coast- al defense. This section of the navy used blimps for scouting over the North Sea, also many of the heavier-than-air craft that were being used on the Western Front, as well as machines best suited to their type of work such as the Short Skirl . One of Page 17 the greatest names of the R. N. A. S. is that of Lieutenant Colonel Raymond Colli- shaw, a Canadian ace who is still flying and who ranks with sixty victories next to the famous Colonel Billy Bishop ex-R. F. C. ace of seventy-two victories. Some R. N. A. S. squadrons were the most famous, being Collishaw's outfit, a flight of dull- black Sopwith triplanes. Contrary to common belief the R. F. C. served elsewhere than just the Western Front. A squadron was situated on Imros Island in the Mediterranean. Squadrons aided Allenby in Palestine and Mesopo- tamia and the famous Lawrence of Arabia had a few machines at his disposal, one of his pilots being a well-known Ottawa chir- opractor. At the end of the war the R. A. F. lost some of its finest pilots when they returned to their peace-time jobs. However, those remaining continued to make aerial history. In 1919 John Alcock and Arthur Whitten Brown, both R. A. F. men liew non-stop from St. Johns, Newfoundland to Ireland fpreviously the American naval seaplane N. C.4 had crossed by successive steps using the Azores as a stepping stone.J The machine Alcock and Brown used was a Vickers Vimy, Rolls-Royce powered aero- plane, which had been designed as a, heavy bomber for use against Berlin but which had arrived too late to enter the arena of war. Alcock and Brown were both knighted for their feat, but unfortunately Alcock was killed in a crash at Rouen, France, later in December. In 1919 the British dirigible the R. 34 also crossed the Atlantic and re- turned under its own power. The officer commanding was Major G. H. Scott who was to lose his life in the crash of the R. 101 in 1931. In November 1919, the Australian crew of Captain Ross Smith, his brother Keith, and Sergeants Sheirs and Bennet flew to Australia in successive steps, a iiight of 11,924 flying miles. They used the same type of machine as Alcock and Brown, some of the parts of the latter's ship being used in the new craft. Up through the twenties, as wo1nen's clothes became more daring, so did the achievements of the R. A. F. Many fine records in height and distance were set up by these intrepid young men. In 1912, a Frenchman, Jacques Schneider offered a magnificient trophy for the highest speed set by a seaplane over a triangular Left-A Westland Lysander in Flight course 150 miles long. The 'drst race in 1912 was won by a French Deperdussin racer which attained the phenomenal speed of 45.75 m. p. h. However, in 1931 Great Britain, with a team from the Special High Speed Squadron of the R. A. F. consisting of Orlebar, Boothman, Hope, Long and Leech, Strainforth and Snaith won perma- ment possession of the trophy. Boothman and Strainforth were the lucky officers to pilot the fast machine in successive flights. The R. A. F. had developed it stations in the near and far East by that time and when revolution broke out in Afghanistan, the service was responsible for saving many foreigners from the capital, Kabul. Need- less to say the R. A. F. machines have been of inestimable value on the North-west Frontier, supressing the turbulent tribes- men of that region. By 1935 the Royal Air Force was using many obsolete machines. True, the Hawker Super-Fury was at the peak of its form, but many other types should have been discarded years before. Thus when Mus- solini played his hand in Ethiopia, the British were forced to say pass , although the Navy was strongly assembled in the Mediterranean Qwith scarcely enough am- munition to fire a single salvo per ship.J Since then Great Britain has been wide awake and looks with grave concern at the pre- parations of her cousin in the North and former friend in the South. Her armaments are being rapidly increased and the R. A. F. is not the last in preparing for trouble. Aircraft factories have sprung up all over England and are being worked day and night to bring Britain's air strength up to that of Germany's. Germany has a great number of aircraft but their equipment is mediocre. General Goering himself says there is no use putting a lot of money into expensive machines because most of them will be destroyed in the first few months of the war. This is contrary to Britain's policy and by the time we have reached Germany's might in num- bers we will double their strength by the efficiency of our equipment. Many cities, however, believe too much stress is being laid on speed. In a special test a few Weeks ago a fast modern machine was ordered to fight a duel with a 1918 Sopwith Camel . After the scrap the films in the camera guns were developed and it was discovered that the modern machine was theoretically shot down while the 1918 Camel did not have a bullet hole in it. Reason?-The modern ship took one-quarter to half a mile to turn whereas the Sopwith Camel could turn on the proverbial dime. Page 20 Now we are sitting on a powder magazine with the powder trail already laid and the spark waiting to be struck. If it should come to war, the R. A. F. will again do its part as it did in 1914 and the winged war- riors will fly again as they did in those happy-go-lucky-days of twenty years ago- no not quite! This time they will ily faster and in larger groups, but I doubt if this new way will appeal to the gallant lads who flew out so recklessly those autumn days of 19143 theirs was the last great frontier and theirs, too, the motto they helped to form with their blood, Per ardua ad Astra - Through difliculty to the stars . 20221412 A Song of the Sea Over the sea the dawn is breaking, Over the sea the birds awaking, Over the sea the ships are making Their solitary way.

How- ever, it is not of great battles or heroes that I tell but of a man who,though he lived twenty-five centuries ago, still exerts an iniiuence on posterity. His life and career are somewhat obscure except to those who have studied Ancient History and Phil- osophy, and I feel it would be valuable to bring him forward in greater detail to everyone. His name is Socrates, philoso- pher of Ancient Greece. iklkvlf Socrates was born in Athens not later than the year 469 B.C. In his youth he received the usual education, being instructed chiefly in music and gymnastics. Later through his own efforts he learned mathematics and the doctrines of the leading Greek philosophers. He followed his father's profession as young men do nowadays and became a sculptor of no mean ability. As was the duty of a pat- riotic Athenian, he took part in military affairs, serving for some years at Sauros at Potidaea, where he saved the life of the celebrated Alcibiadesg moreover, he dis- tinguished himself at Deleum and at Am- phipolis by his courage and endurance. When he took part in public affairs he was equally courageous, standing firmly for what he thought right, at one time against the demands of the populace, at another against the unjust commands of the Thirty. He became convinced, however, that his divinely appointed task and patriotic duty was neither military nor political but ed- ucative and gave the remainder of his life to teaching sounder views on ethical and political subjects. As he left no writings his ideas and methods must be learned from the reports of his devoted disciples Xeno- phon and Plato. Socrates did not form a school or expect people to come to him. He walked about the streets, the market place and the gym- nasia conversing with all, artisans, phil- osophers, poets, politicians, rich or poor about their affairs and their ideas of right and wrong. One of his sayings was Fields and trees will not teach me anything, The life of the streets will . His attitude was that of a seeker after truth. Unlike most Greeks he did not love reputation but professed ignorance and by systematic questioning and by treating the most obviously-mistaken opinions with the LUX GLEBANA patience of Job, he argued his opponent first into a doubt of his own wisdom and thence into a new and better opinion. It was not simple ignorance that Socrates thus combatted but ignorance which mis- took itself for knowledge. Although he did not stress religion as the path to good conduct, he was a deeply religious man performing the orthodox re- quirements of the gods piously. But here again he sought for truth. He questioned the traditional accounts of the gods, given by Homer and other poets. How, he asked, could Divine Beings, the source of all good, commit acts that would disgrace the worst of men? It was a purified religion that he taught and he felt, like the Hebrew prophets, that a divine voice showed him the way. . Socrates discussed many things-trying to discover the true nature of beauty, truth, friendship, courage, honesty, virtue and knowledge. To him, men were wicked only through ignorance. He sincerely believed no man was willingly bad, and that all men could be brought to believe in and practise virtue by learning its true nature. He waged a life-long war against vagueness of thought and laxity of speech. The best rulers, he said are not the richest or the most powerful but the wisest. So he spent much time instructing the Athenian youths who were to be responsible in the future for the conduct of the state. Socrate's method of arguing by interro- gation was later known as the Socratic method and was famous all over the Ancient World. Many of the men with whom he argued, however, resented being discom- fitted by him in public and although Soc- rates had only a desire to help them, they felt they had been made ridiculous and could not forgive him. Socrates made other en- emies by his harsh rebukes when great wrongs and injustices were done in the state. On the whole, Socrates' appearance and mode of life were not such as to make him popular. His figure was short and thicksetg he was snub-nosed, had prominent eyes and thick lips. He looked both coarse and stupid. Then he dressed in beggarly fashion, often went cold and hungry. Those who knew him well, loved him 3 they saw in him one who was at once master, counsellor and friend. One of them said, He was a man so pious he never did any- thing without taking counsel of the gods, so Page 21 just that he never did injury to any man but was the benefactor to his associates, so temperate he never preferred pleas- ure to rightg so wise in judging good and evil he was never at fault. But these disciples although they num- bered among them many famous men- Plato, Crito, Alcibiades, Xenophon, Phaedon. Euclides of Megara and Aristippus, were not merely unable to save him from the tragic fate which came upon him but were in away contributing causes of his downfall. In Athens at the time there were two extreme parties-the Aristocratic or Oli- garchic and the believers in Unmixed Dem- ocracy. Between them stood a middle party-which advocated a Limited Dem- ocracy and which had as its adherents the most thoughtful men of the time. Socrates was a moderate,and the spreader of moderate ideas. Hence, the extreme parties united in an effort to have him put out of the way and because of his oddity and the activity of his enemies, they succeeded in their unjust attempt. Socrates was accused first of denying the gods recognized by the state and secondly of corrupting the youth of Athens. His accusers were Meletus the poet, Auystus the tanner, and Sycon the orator. They were narrow-minded men who feared new ideas but they were also members of the extreme democratic party and while the accusations were on moral grounds the real cause of the persecution of Socrates was political. Socrates, instead of trying to conciliate his judges, defied them. He was found guilty by a small majority-280 to 220- of the 500 jurors. With such a number of jurors, mob psychology could easily have been used and their passions appealed to. Socrates, however, did not stoop to such means, and when Meletus proposed capital punishment, the accused gave his answer strongly and forcibly. There is no doubt that, if he had suggested a lighter penalty, his plea would have been accepted. But, to the amazement of all present, he declared openly that he should not be condemned, but supported by the state since it was in the state's welfare that he was working. He was willing, however, to pay a small fine of one mina. His judges were exasperated and the voters returned with a greater ma- jority against him. Then, in his famous address known as the Apology of Socrates, the philosopher professed his contentment with his own conduct and the sentence. Page 22 Even in his last speech, he tried to teach his listeners as he had in the streets. He knew not whether he would pass away to a dreamless sleep, or a new life in Hades, where he would have the opportunity of testing the wisdom of the heroes and ancient sages. But in either case, he esteemed it to be a gain to die. Under ordinary circumstances, the con- demned was to drink the poison hemlock on the day following the trial. In the case of Socrates, however, the rule that no one should be put to death during the absence of the sacred ship to Delos, made a delay of thirty days. During this time, he conversed freely with his friends, and looked forward to his death calmly and bravely as such a great man should. An escape was arranged by Crito, but Socrates refused to take advantage of it, saying that the verdict, though contrary to fact, must be obeyed for it was the verdict of a legitimate court. On the day of his death, he asked the jailor if he might not pour some of the poison out of the cup as an offering to the gods. The jailor, not real- izing that he was joking, replied that only the necessary amount of poison had been mixed and none should be wasted. Smiling, the old man-for Socrates was now over seventy,- drank it immediately though he had until sundown, and after walking up and down for a few minutes, he lay down and prepared to die. The numbness caused by the poison, gradually crept up from his lower limbs, and when it reached his heart, that great soul of wisdom passed into the un- known, certain that he had done no wrong. Hsvkvk Autumn The cold wind shakes the shivering trees, Dead leaves rustle under my treadg And sullen skies sulk down at meg . Even the sun has fled, In autumn. I see the dry, brown corpses stand That once as flowers made us gay: And in the trees deserted nests Whose birds have flown away In autumn. But though the earth seems dead and drab From out the ground the plants will creep, When spring shall whisper sweetly. Meanwhile they need their beauty sleep In autumn. RUTH AGULNIK-3J. Lux GLEBANA A Hapsburg in America by Eric Minton N 1862 Napoleon III tried to create a French empire in Mexico. This short account deals with his attempt and its result. . France in the eighteen-sixties, the last decade of the Second Empire .had begun. Napoleon III, fresh from imposing v1ctor1es over the Austrians at Magenta and Solfer- ino, was at the height of his power and with a most facile imagination was already plan- ning a grandiose scheme for enlarging the empire. Napoleon had visited America in 1837 where he conceived the idea of the Canale- Napoleonen fPanamaJ. Central America had fascinated him, its importance obsessed him and ever since then he thought he knew and understood it. The Mexican adventure was primarily a financial matter. A rather amiable civil war had been going on in that country for years. Its treasury was exhausted. The crisis came in 1861 when President Juarez suspended for two years the payment of foreign debts. Posthaste a joint expedition was sent out by England, France and Spain. The first and last went simply as debt col- lectors, but the man in the middle thought differently. The English and Spanish soon realized this, broke off' the alliance, did their business, and went home, leaving behind a French force of some six thousand men. Defeat at La Puebla now brought France into open war in Mexico. Superior equipment and well-trained troops told the story in the end and early in 1863 saw the French marching into Mexico City unmoles- ted, while Juarez and his republican govern- ment fled to the northern provinces. Meanwhile in his castle on the Adriatic a young man watched the Mexican struggle -Archduke Maximilian, brother of the Em- peror of Austria, and a Hapsburg. Napoleon was looking for a monarch to rule over his new conquest. An offer of the Mexican throne to Vienna might please Franz-Joseph -bring about an alliance with Austria. He pursued this idea and in the spring of 1864 a picturesque delegation of Mexican emigres travelled to Trieste and offered Maximilian the throne of their country. The time LUX GLEBANA seemed opportune, America was embroiled in a civil warg the Munroe Doctrine lay dormantg and the French army was vic- torious and well-received, hailed with cheers and flowers Qtypical Latin courtesyj. Urged on by Charlotte, his ambitious wife, he accepted, signed the final documents, and one afternoon in April he bade Napoleon good-bye and sailed away to be crowned in the great Cathedral in Mexico City. For the next two years this colonial ex- periment which held the interest of French investors was a queer medley. Maximil- ian's authority existed only in the cities and towns occupied by the army. The country was perpetually bankrupt, and finally had to resort to the expedient of lotteries to raise money. Interminable guer- illa warfare went on between the republicans and the French. Juarez continued to harass and embarass the monarchy. Gradually the glamour of the Mexican adventure began to fade. New problems were forming in Central Europe. Germany under Bis- marck was rising, and rising fast, and the Rhine was nearer than the Rio Grande. By 1865 the American Civil War was over, and the government of President Johnson curtly refused to recognize Maximilian. Napoleon valued American goodwilland he valued more highly still his army which was in Mexico. Early in 1866, France, and the diplomatic world were informed that the troops would be withdrawn. No money, loyalty or support, Maximilian and his empress were left alone, and as the foot- steps of the departing troops died away down the long, hot, dusty, road to Vera Cruz they thought not of the unfortunate Haps- burg but only of Paris and home. Amid all his wars and schemes, Napoleon sought to make Paris the most attractive capital of Europe, and in these last years, before the fall of the Second Empire, it-was at its gayest. To this new Paris came Charlotte, from Mexico. Ill and a little wild-eyed she begged the 'French Emperor to support her husband. No, he would not, could not help her. Several days later by the new American cable Maximilian learned of his wife's death at Rome. Wavering between abdication and resistance he travelled from town to town. His position at home would be questionable, he could expect no welcome from Franz-Joseph. With no forces op- posing them, the Republican Government under Juarez returned to Mexico City, while the ex-ruler retired with fifteen hundred followers to Queretaro. There was a short Page 23 Fashion Notes by Marion Cameron SAT at my desk, gazing out of the win- dow at nothing in particular. I had been trying for some time to dream up a topic for a composition, when quite suddenly my thoughts were disturbed by a strange spectacle. There, before my very eyes, and seemingly walking along the window sill was a brightly-coloured feather. In broad daylight, this seemed rather odd. Hmmm . . . , quoth I, maybe there is something at the bottom of this. Indeed, investigation proved this fugitive tail feather to be nothing less than the sky-scraping adornment of a very jaunty little pill-box. To my further amusement, I found its proud owner to be escorted by a snappily- dressed young man in a hard hat and ear muffs. Eureka! I shrieked, Hats! ! -And hats it shall be. But first we must establish a viewpoint. If the subject of ladies' hats were discussed from the feminine angle, prejudice and preference might interfere. So we shall let the men say a word. The average man contimted from page 23 siege, surrender, and the Republicans rode in to take Maximilian a prisoner. But Paris in 1867 had more immediate interests. The new Government Expos- ition in the Champ de Mars attracted thousands of visitors from all corners of Europe, who came to inspect the latest marvels of science, the steam locomotive, the new light-weight metal aluminium and wonder of wonders, a rocking-chair. An interesting day, and an entertaining evening at the Alcazar where the bons vivants wined and dined mid laughter and applause as the ladies of the footlights danced to the merry measures of Offenbach. But one May day the gay crowds were temporarily silent when Napoleon made a speech at the Exposition for it was known in Paris that Maximilian lay dead at Queretaro, shot. The Mexican adventure was over, a failure. The first note of the swan song of the Second Empire had been struck. Had this been fiction a happy ending would have been possible. But fiction plays no part in history and in this enterprise one can say that disaster almost trod on the heels of triumph. Page 24 might roughly classify ladies' hats into three divisions: First, there is the jelly mould or mixing bowl type, which may range in style and general shape from the plainest to the fanciest-usually with very little incidental decoration. Shifted to the back of the skull, this type degenerates into something re- sembling a baby's bonnet. Elongated, it becomes the boat-shaped hat 3 and stretched three ways, the tricorne. Women haven't quite gotten around to anything as elaborate as the star-shaped jelly mould-but just give them time. In most cases, however, the individual size seems to have somewhat superceded the family size in popularity- at least for the moment. Secondly, there is the popular pancake or griddlecake hat. This particular variety ranges in dimensions from the man-sized buckwheat flapjack, to the dainty little French pancake. They may have their edges coyly rolled to enclose a mass of per- manently-waved plumage. Or they may be perfectly flat, and adorned with a single over-sized flower, a feather as long as a bullrush, a voluminous veil, or all three. In any case, they are designed to be worn by those who can manoeuvre without the use of their right eye, for it is upon the right eye that these creations perch. Thirdly, there is the bird nest, or sunken garden variety-adorned or unadorned. This type varies, of course, with the taste of the wearer. She may harbour a tender spot in her heart for feathered creatures, whole or in disconcerting pieces. On the other hand she may prefer to crown her chapeau with a suggestion of Spring-a truly wierd and wonderful variety of botannically non-ex- istant monstrosities. The characteristic of all of these, is that they cannot be worn-they must be attached, for they are designed to fit organ grinder's monkeys, not women. Whether suspended over one eye or perched on the back of the head, they invariably leave wide open spaces exposed to wintry winds. The former are supported 'by elaborately-ribboned elastic bands, or by fish net hoodsg the latter, merely by a ribbon under the chin. Inci- dental decoration upon such chapeaux is Widely varied indeed. In short, anything goes, as long as it is impracticable, un- wearable, impertinent, insecure, and tiny to the point of insigniiicance. 3411444 When they kiss and make up, she gets the kiss and he gets the make-up.

The showings of Johnny Fripp, and Gene Heggtveit, two of Canada's out- standing blade experts, warrant places on the Olympic roster. School examinations, and local financial embarrassment, inter- fered with their partaking in the Dominion Championships at Fort William, still, their excellent displays in all Eastern Canadian shows, and United States Divisional Tourna- ments, gives them that necessary touch for Olympic qualifications.

DOUG. WILLIAMS-4B. LITTLE SVVITZERLAND'S THE HUMDINGERH Pholo by Paul H orsdal LUX GLEBANA F ri cl a y by Edna LeSueur HEN anyone mentions Friday, one's mind immediately pictures the be- whiskered old gentleman described in Robinson Crusoe, but Friday, to count- less numbers of harassed youngsters, takes the form of an angel, a guardian angel. Think of a world of raving high school stud- ents! Think of a world of maniacal, screech- ing students! That is what this universe would be like, if it were not for the guardian angel Friday. Picture a person, John, utterly woe- begone, weary, disconsolate from the tense endurance of a dignified Monday, a dis- gruntled Tuesday, a dismayed Wednesday, and a tearful Thursday, arising at eight o'clock, one sunshiny Friday morning. Hu-' rrah! John says, stretching himself with a catlike agility. No more school after to- night . He does a little Irish jig Cin honour of good old St. Patrickj, and even manages to whistle as he tussles with his clothes, the latter emerging the loser. Now for a good breakfast to start the day right. Mother, John yells Cneedlesslyj downstairs, I want a breakfast of grapefruit, scrambled egg, bacon, toast and coffee. Are you sure that's all? responds his mother, a sarcastic edge tinging her voice. You seem in good spirits to-day. No wonder, to-day is Friday, the boy replies. Once downstairs, he trots to the table, swallowing whole a thin slice of left-over cake. When the breakfast has been suc- cessfully gorged, John grabs his books, and rushes off to school, noticing it is ten to nine. Reaching the assembly hall at one minute to nine, he stretches himself in his seat to relax. In a fog he hazily hears the order Assembly dismiss, and regretfully removes his manly form from the chair. First in his order of time-table, comes French. Once nicely settled, John opens Capitaino Pamphilof' and stares vaguely down on the pages of wisdom. Am I ever going to have a swell time to-night, with the gang, he says to himself. Suddenly startled, he hears his name. Yes sir, John falteringly answers. But unfortunately for our brave hero, he had no more idea of the question than the wood in the woodshed. First detention of Page 27 the day! Shucks, a fine way for a guy to spend Friday, John mutters to himself. Then he manages to extract his compos- ition books and depart for the next period. There, he has a perfectly jubilant time, revelling in the supposedly admiring glances of the girls. The composition-oh well, is not there all week-end to do it? Remember to-day is Friday. The recess bell clangs in the hall. Now, John is ready for a swift dash to the cafeteria for a hot dog. I'm famished, so I am, he remarks to an inan- imate audience. In a hectic two periods of Literature and Latin, he manages to draw some very classy outlinesiand eiface a true Virgilian translation for a much more suitable one of his own. But why quibble? Poor John was thinking only of the night to come. Now, home for lunch! After the meal our young man hastens to the scholastic edifice, reaching it at exactly half-past one. After obtaining the usual late slip from the office, he rushes into his Geometry class face red, hair matted, and slips noisily into his seat, growling to himself, Another detention, and to-day is Friday and I'm going out to-night. Heck! The instructor awakens him from his lethargy to demand the enunciation of the theorem which he has studied yesterday.

In the harrowing ride, he loses his way once or twice, and is nearly knocked into a ditch by a big truck, which was hogging the road. Sharply he rages to the terrified girl by his side, Why don't those guys watch what they are doing? He nearly killed me. With a happy sigh, he finally deposits the girl on her doorstep. He drives his car into the garage, he enters the house and in less than ten minutes flops into bed. What a day is Friday! Remember, if we did not have Friday, our youths would go stark mad.

LUX GLEBANA The Eternal Quadrangle lEdiior's Note: Any illusion to persons living or dead are occidental.1 Scene: The Munich room in the house of Europe, Mr. Hitler, Mr. Mussolini, Mr. Chamberlain, and Mr. Daladier are gathered together to play a game of bridge. The four are seated around a bridge table, the legs of which are carved with the heads of daschunds, each one with a pretzel in it's mouth. Mr. Chamberlain and Mr. Dal- adier are playing as partners, while Mr. Hitler and Mr. Mussolini are playing as partners. The room in which they are seated has a French window opening on to a lawn where Mr. Mussolini's grandson is playing. The walls of the room have been recently papered with swastikas. The maid, Mme. Benes, Who is in charge of the Munich room, wanders through the room rather aim- lessly. As the curtain rises, Hitler is seen taking a cigarette and lighter from Cham- berlain, and the conversation around the table is more or less general. Hitler: Well, here we are, all set for an- other meeting. Chamberlain: Yes. Remember the last game we had, Adolphus? Daladier and I are rather in the lead, if I remember cor- rectly. Daladier: politely, Oh oui! Chamberlain: Yes, Yes. We are ahead by a Versailles treaty, and a smashed Ger- many, are we not? Hitler: So you were. Well! we will see how the luck runs this time. I have a feeling we might win, eh Muss.? Mussolini: Whatever you say, Adolphus. Hitler: con-versatlonally, By the way Neville, how do you like these walls? A Chamberlain: Oh the walls are lovely. But I don't like the design on them. Hitler: dryly. I didn't think you would. You see, I created the design myself. In fact I even went so far as to paper the walls, personally. Suddenly a terrific noise is heard from the lawbng a sort of booming followed by some shouts of joy. LUX GLEBANA Daladier: considerably startled. Ma foi! what is that? Mussolini: Just my grand-son playing at soldiers. He takes after me, I guess. Chamberlain: cntt-ingly. Why, Benito, don't tell me you are a grandfather? Why you don't look a day over fifty. Mussolini: innocently. I'm not. Early mar- riages is the secret of our success. The maid Mme Benes. wanders through the roomy Dala-drfer ogles her. Daladier: Ou, La! La! Like gay Paree! Hitler: grrujly. Don't pay any attention to her. I am going to have her discharged and put someone in her place whom I can control. Let us get on with the game. Mussolini: Yes, Yes, of course. Let me see ' -I will cut, and Adolph will deal, and- Chamberlain: t-riamphantly. But if you cut Benito, then I deal, not your partner. Mussolini: Heavens, Neville, we couldn't trouble you to do so much. You must be very tired after all your house-cleaning with John Simon, and Hore-Belisha. Chamberlain: modestly. It's really nothing at all. We learn our work on the cricket fields of Eton. Daladier: By the way Nevvy, will the aeroplanes you are constructing in the Canadian wing of your house be finished yet? Chamberlain: I'm not just sure. I haven't seen any of them yet. Mussolini and Hitler exchange signfzjicanl glances. Hitler: brusquely. 'Well, back to the game. What will the stakes be this time? Mussolini: Let us have high stakes! Chamberlain: Oh decidedly. That is what I always say. If you are going to play at all, you might as well make the game worth while. Hitler: No, not at all. Let us have low stakes for the present. Benito and I want to see how our luck is running before we play to win. Mussolini: a.dm'ir1Tngly. Right once more, Adolph. Low stakes it is. Daladier: whispering. I hope to heavens we win! Chamberlain: In a loud voice. Yes, but re- Page 29 1 l member-come what may, our motto is 'Play up, play up, and play the game'! Daladier: Still whispering matters unenthusi- astically. Oh yes,-I suppose so. Mussolini: whispering to Hitler. I hope to a pure Aryan that we win. Hitler: reassuringly. Don't worry, we Will. Don't forget I am dealing. Mussolini looks at Hitler with awe and rapture, while cutting the cards. Daladier looks reproachfully at Chamberlain. Hitler deals rapidly-taking his own ha-nd from the bottom of the pack. The four then pick up their cards, and start bidding, starting-for no apparent reason-with Da-ladier. Daladier: I pass. Mussolini: on the principle of the thing. I double!-That is, er, um, I pass too! M ussol-ini looks somewhat embarrassed and shame-faced. Chamberlain: hopefully. I bid an active League of Nations. Hitler: empah-tically. You can have it! I bid a good propaganda campaign. Daladier: I pass. Mussolini: I check. Chamberlain: desperately, Well my hand is good for an honourable settlement, by way of a plan of appeasement. Hitler: Dished again Neville. I bid for the minority rights of Sudetandland, and a future stranglehold on Czecho-Slovakia. And my hand is strong enough to make both bids, too. Chamberlain: Well Adolph, you should know: after all, you dealt. If I was sure you were bluffing I would call you, but- Hitler calmly proceeds to make his bid, having all play in his own hand. Shrieks of joy can be heard from the lawn, M ussolini on hearing them, blushes rosily, and mutters dreamily- Mussolini: My little grandson. He shall be as great as I am. I have nick-named him Little Caesar . Daladier: Tell me frozen-jaw, is that maid really the famous Mme. Benes? Mussolini: with icy dignity. Yes, but she is really nothing. Adolph tells me so. Hitler: as he rakes in a few minor Czech. territories. Yes, as I said before, I am going to have her discharged. -whispering to Mus- Page 30 solini-And pay the new maid out of what we make in this game-eh, Benito? Chamberlain: I say, I wish you wouldn't whisper so. You know jolly well it isn't very polite. Hitler: elated that he has won, and oozing with conjidence. Oh, shut up! What do you think this is, a sewing circle? We're playing at international politics now, and what's more we're playing for keeps! The maid enters with two telegrams ad- dressed to the four of them. She hands them to Daladier who is highly gratified at this mark of attention. He takes them, opens them slowly, and then proceeds to read them in a puzzled voice. Daladier: This one is from Prime Minister Mackenzie King of Canada. He says: Our parliament is somewhat disturbed at vague rumors of trouble Over Theahf' Please set our minds at rest by cabling immediately, so that we may proceed with pressing business of deciding just what our National Anthem is. Otherwise We may have to get a commission, to decide whether or not we should enlarge our al- ready powerful navy. Signed, Mackenzie King, Prime Minister of Canada. Hitler: sarcastically. Oh, take me away, Benito. I am really quite frightened. Daladier: ignoring the interruption. And the other cable is from President Roosevelt. He declares this game is unconstitutional gidlundemocratic. He demands a New ea . Mussolini: groaning. Somebody give him a hot-foot. Chamberlain: Benito Mussolini! I am shock- ed. Such language! Hitler: Il duce is quite right. We do not Want a new deal: we won! Chamberlain, shaken by such straightforward and undiploma-tic language, clutches his um- brella and prepares to make a jlustered exit. Chamberlain: Come Daladier-let ,us leave. The atmosphere here is intolerable. It is evident that these-ah-er-people, have never associated with the Gentlemen of London. Hitler: ignoring Chamberlain's remarks mut- ters to himself. It is a pity we didn't play for higher stakes, but- LUX GLEBANA Chamberlain: pacing up and down. I suppose you think you have Won? threateningly Well, remember the British Bulldog! The strong silent British character: our utter calm in the face of difficulties! Mussolini: simply. The imbeciles. Daladier: to himself. I shudder to think of the cartoons in Punch over this affair. Hitler: nervously. And what that old pelican George Bernard Shaw will write-Huh! He thinks he can write. I'll bet he knows less' about dictating than I do about writ- ing. Chamberlain: impatiently. Enough of this twaddleg come Daladier. But remember, you-he sputters trying to think of an ea:- pressive word-You two old spiders! the Next time we play, a bid for appeasement is chucked. Exit Chamberlain. Daladier: politely. Good-bye gentlemen. Re- member our next game. It is the African suite, I think. Exit Daladier. Mussolini: Well, Adolph, I guess we won. Hitler: speaking more brusquely now they are alone. Yes of course: I expected to. But don't bother me, I must write another chapter to Mein Kampf ,-a sort of diary I am keeping! ' Once more a terrific noise can be heard from the lawn. Hitler: For heavens sake, Mussolini, will you stop that brat from making such a racket? Mussolini: Why that is little Caesar playing at soldiers-innocently, Just like I do. Hitler: I should know about that. Mussolini grows red, as he realizes the fu-ll meaning of Hitler's words. Finally he stalks out of the room, muttering fiercely to himself. Hitler: At last I am alone.-That reminds me, I must go to Austria tomorrow, to meditate in my old cell-good for my soul.-Well, nothing as stimulating as a good game of cards I always say 5 especially if you win-I hate to think what would have happened if Chamberlain had got that bid, though. I must be careful to deal again in 1940.- Scene closes with Hitler writing in a little black book that looks like a diary. . He grows agitated at what he writes. Finally his actions -reach a feverish pitch of excitement. Sud- LUx GLEBANA de-nly he drops his book and springing to his feet, he raises his right hand in the N azi salute. As the curtain closes he roars out- HEIL HITLER. Curtain. Pk Pls 4- The international Affairs Club N THIS year of what might be termed Perpetual Crisis, when two democracies, Czechoslovakia and Spain, have been lost to the Democratic Front of nations, and the prospect of war brought closer, a situ- ation fraught with fearful Cand tearfulj meaning to all our boys and girls, the Inter- national Affairs Club has had less interest shown in it than in previous years. Per- haps it is because the students have become blase with regard to crises. At any rate it is intended next year to reorganize the me- thod of carrying on the work with the object of inducing a larger number of pupils to take part both in formal public speaking and informal discussion. Not that some good work was not done this year. Besides some outside speakers, among whom were Miss Ruth Ellis, who gave us firsthand information about Aus- trian refugees, and the Rev. I. R. Craig who spoke on Democracy's Greatest Chal- lenge, a number of debates were held. Resolved that a democracy confers more beni- flts on the people under it than does a dic- tatorship was the subject of one. In this debate, Miss Elizabeth Serson and Harold Willis for the affirmative defeated Eric Cowan and Frank Palen. Miss Serson did particularly well. Both with logic and rhetoric she demolished the fiimsy edifice the exponents of dictatorship reared. Miss Ruth Agulnik and George McLean were less successful in convincing the judges, Miss Gilhooly, Mr. MacNamara, and Mr. McHugh, that the Russia's form of govern- ment was preferable to that of Germany's. The officers of the International Affairs Club were: Advisory President-C. J. THOMS President-KEITH MCCAFFERY Vice-President-ELIZABETH DRAYTON Secretary-MURRAY DOBIER Committee-DOROTHY BAKER Page 31 And It Came to Pass by Ian McPhee AST YEAR I wrote in this magazine some lines concerning world events and how I believe we should meet them. Since then momentous events have occurred which should rouse the indignation of the entire civilized world. These events were brought about by one man-many believe mentally unbalanced-who has built a political machine which has grown almost out of his control, yet which controls the lives and thoughts of some seventy millions of people and sways the rest of the world. He is an uneducated man who possesses a strange pursuasive power and is able to deliver, with uncontrollable emotion speeches astounding in their vehemence, which though they may irk, never precipitate action. The structure of this machine is based on force. It was mob terrorism which elected the Nazis to power and the Hrst step taken by its leader was to regiment the whole nation into vast armies. Although it is based on force, the mainstay of the party is the amazingly efficient propaganda de- partment directed by a fine specimen of Nazi Aryanism-Herr Goebbels. One of the beauties of this fine organization is its al- most unbelievable pliability. To take an example, the German headlines recently screamed that the Poles were committing violent outrage on the German minority and were wantonly destroying German pro- perty. Upon investigation, it was proved that the outrages consisted of boys breaking windows of the schools and that they were being urged on by their German neighbours. Enough of the structural wonders for the moment, because we should take time to look at some of the accomplishments of the Nazi party and, incidentally, its growing threat to our own liberties. 1. The burning of the Reichstag-Nazis elected to power. 2. Return of Saar Basin to Germany. 3. Rhineland re-occupied by German troops. 4. Austria forced to join the third Reich. 5. Sudetenland given to Germany 6. Memel seized by Germany. Page 32 7. Czecho-Slovakia seized by Germany. Let us look at the tragedy of Austria. In 1933, Hitler sent his agents, to whom he gave unlimited credit, into Austria to lay plans for the future. From this point, illegal Nazi parties were formed, composed, as usual, of hired thugs, dope addicts and divers unscrupulous types of people. Un- fortunately, there were men who were better educated than the usual run, but were just as unscrupulous and allowed them- selves to be bought by German money and promises. Among the worst of these trait- ors was a young, mild-mannered lawyer and cabinet minister, Seyss-Inquart who is now Chancellor-President of Austria. To show how well the Nazis were organized in unorganized Austria, a transport system was formed to take Nazi assasins out of Austria into the protection of Germany within hours or even minutes after a bomb throwing or. riot took place. This system was also used to bring in money, arms and propaganda with which to start trouble. When Dolphus was assinated in 1934, his place was taken by Kurt Von Schuschnigg, one of the most courageous and yet one of the blindest statesmen in modern history. He was put in power by the combined support of the clerical party, the farmers' party and the Heimwehr, an organization of returned soldiers. The parties which put him in power could not be consolidated as one. Due mostly to Nazi murders and riots, disorder grew until he had to make himself virtual dictator to keep order. Still he could do but little because of the corruption of his officials and the threats of invasion from Germany. As far back as 1935, the social-democrat party saw the danger from Naziism and wished to combine with Von Schuschinigg, to form a popular front to face the common danger, but Schuschnigg was not interested. Being a staunch catholic he took much of his advice from the church and for this reason was almost as opposed to the social democrats as he was to the Nazis. He blundered by not accepting the offer. This was a pity because together they could have organized the Republican Defence Corps, the Heimwehr and the civil life of Austria, and defeated Nazi aims. Von Schuschnigg saw his mistake at the end and when the crisis which was forced by Hitler came, he joined hands and prepared for plebiscite to decide the future of Austria. As Hitler knew that well over eighty per cent of the people would vote against union with Nazi Germany, he bluntly told Von Schuschnigg to resign or he would order his troops to LUX GLEBANA march. To prevent bloodshed, this gallant gentleman who had borne so much for his country passed from the scene and the man who did all in his power to undermine the good which Schuschnigg tried to do, came to power-Nazi Seyss-Inquart. After that -Anschluss-followed by thousands of sui- cides and murders, not to mention the thousands of people sent to Dachau and other concentration camps to spend the rest of their lives in protective custody . The same thing happened in Czecho- Slovakia. First-insidious underground pro- paganda, bombing outrages by ruf'lians, ter- rorism by paid gangs, then a voice for self- determination, open rebellion and the voice of the paid leader inviting Hitler to step in and prevent bloodshed. The absorption of Austria was excusable in one sense because all Austrians were of German blood. On the other hand, the absorption of Czecho- Slovakia was utterly inexcusable, no matter from what angle We look at the question. Czecho-Slovakia was lost, unwittingly, be- cause Mr. Chamberlain's chief fault was that he had too much faith in humanity. Germany was unprepared for war, as may be seen by the four-day delay of Hitler's entering into Austria. This was due to the entire breakdown of his mechanized corps. For four days, three divisions of the German mechanized army lined the roads from Munich to Vienna because of mechan- ical failure, synthetic tire-trouble and lack of gasoline. The British government knew of this! It was an ofiicial of the British embassy in Vienna who told the newspapers. The Czechs were willing to fight for their independence, Russia would honour its treaty with the Czechs, France was also willing but was held back by cautious Mr. Chamberlain and finally backed down due to pressure from this soLu'ce. You may say that this was justified be- cause Britain was unprepared for -war. This may be, in fact was true, but by doing so did she not lose more than she could gain by stalling the final showdown for a year or two? I am not speaking of that intangible something called prestige , but of actual power. England lost as an ally the most efficient army in Europe-some 1,500,000 highly trained Czechs, equipped with the finest fighting weapons in the world. She also lost 1,400 first-line fighting planes, which have now been absorbed into the German air force. There are rumours that they were flown out of Czecho-Slovakia into Russia, Poland and Hungary, but these have not been confirmed. Added to this she lost the use of one of the world's greatest LUX GLEBANA armament factors, the Skoda, which is now employing 36,000 men to turn out weapons for Germany. Now, you judge-did we gain or did we lose? Do not think that Hitler has or can be appeased. He has said-and Nazis boast of it that Germany will dominate the world. Chamberlain has stated that Britain will resist any attempt to dominate the world by force. Therefore, all these guns from Skoda will be used against our men. All those planes will be used to aid the enemy in bombing London and Paris. Pleasant thought! r Is Canada doing her part? These events of the last few months may seem remote and of no consequence to us but in reality they are of vital importance. We love our country and have sworn allegiance to the Throne and Empire. Therefore there can be no doubt as to what Canada's stand will be when the showdown comes. But are we ready to do our part? Why should we wait until trouble comes before we begin to prepare? It is lamentable that one of the world's richest countries and the fifth ranking trading nation of the world should be so incapable of defending what she has achieved. If we are to do our share, we must build up our defences until they are about a thousand per cent stronger than they are now. At present we have no army to speak of 3 no navy and a pitifully small air force. If we cannot afford all three, we should at least build up our air force to a thousand first-line planes. We should have factories capable of turning out munitions enough to supply all Britain if necessary and above all we should be behind England from the drop of the hat with all our spirit and with all our strength. Two democracies,-two free peoples-have fallen. One because of disorganization a- mong her own ranks, the other because her allies deserted her in her hour of need. We must be organized and we must be found capable of defending ourselves. We must not be parasites relying on England or the United States to carry our load. The last generation fought and bled and died for our present liberties-We cannot sacrifice now what they so courageously preserved. Nothing can better express our feelings than the following words from Woodsworthg namely, We must be free or die, who speak the tongue That Shakespeare spake: the faith and morals hold Page 33 Which M ilton held,-In everything we are sprung Of Ecmfhfs jirst blood, have titles manifold. lncligestion Notes by Lenore Newman ERE IS the diary of a stomach as it might be penned during a school day. 9 a.rn.-Oh, dear, another hot day.

By this time she is saying, Oh, dear, I don't feel a bit well. I know the milk in that eggnog must have been sour. 4.30 p.rn.-We were invited out to have a soda before going home. Had a lemon phosphate and then ran for the bus.

Purple and gold banners stretched across the daiikening sky, heralding the approach of nig it. Soon only a red glow Hooded the sky in the west, as evening dropped quietly over the woods. A cool breeze crept among the trees, rustling a dry leaf or ruffiing the downy feathers of tiny birds huddled on a branch with little round heads tucked beneath soft wings. High in the indigo heavens, a hundred million sparkling stars shone tiny lamps upon the sleeping world. The moon sailed out from its refuge behind a cloud, and flooded the quiet glades with a silver glow. Deep, mysterious shadows lay in the bushes and trees, and night fell upon the forest. A gaunt moss-covered rock lay deep in rank grass in the middle of a clearing. A shadow cast by a stately spruce fell across part of it, the rest lay bathed in the moon- g ow. A snake-like flash of brown appeared on the rock. It paused for a moment, peering about with quick jerks of its head, blood- red eyes darting fiercely in all directions. It seemed uneasy. Then, in a moment, the rock lay bare again, and the hunting weasel leaped away in search of prey. His place was soon occupied by another animal, his near-cousin, the sable marten. Larger, but not a whit more blood-thirsty, the beautiful creature poised on the rock in the moon- light. His rich smooth coat blended with his surroundings as he, too, tested the air uneasily. Then, like a Wraith, he silently followed the weasel in a graceful bound. A sharp-faced red fox slipped into the clearing, looked back a moment in the direction from whence he had come, then hurried on into the woods. Unrest pervaded the forest. A rabbit dashed from cover, and a great owl swooped and missed. Voicing a scream of rage, the great bird soared away through the trees. Another rabbit paused by the rock, then fled with long bounds as a ghostly form landed upon the rock above. The Canada lynx paid no attention. His fierce yellow eyes contin- ually glanced toward the darkness in the east-a darkness tinged with a strange red Page 36 glow. The lynx's tufted ears quivered, his sensitive nose rose high while he tested the breeze. As he bounded off on big, noiseless pads, a lordly buck leaped into the clearing. Not pausing in his stride, the buck gave a startled snort as the scent of the lynx struck him. then he rose again as if on coiled springs, and cleared the bushes on the other side of the glade. A carelessly dropped match had turned the bush to the east into a raging inferno. Fanned by a stiff breeze, the crackling flames were swept through the panic- stricken forest. The air grew hot and sultry, sparks rose in the black night and were whisked 'before the fiames into dry, inflammable timber. Flaming twigs drop- ped into the clearing and soon the dry grass, having felt no rain for a fortnight, was ablaze. Flames rushed up a dead cedar with a crackling rush, attacked the neigh- bouring trees and grimly drove the animals and birds toward the lake. Above this primeval tragedy, the moon cast a pale light through the heavy pall of smoke. From the shore of the lake, a long sand bar stretched into the deep water. Stumps and half-submerged logs lay across it, and on these were already perched countless squirrels, chipmunks, groundhogs and other small denizens of the forest who had been driven to this place of refuge by the fire. A dozen deer stood up to their Withers in the water, surveying the larger occupants of the sand bar anxiously. A bull moose plunged out of the crackling timber and splashed clumsily into the water. His great hoofs wrought unintentional havoc among the swimming rabbits. There was a splash as a fat black bear, his fur smoking in several places, reached the water. The deer, hud- dled together, watched his progress nervously but Bruin paid no attention to them. A long, sleek, gray form bounded from the shore and landed on a bobbing log. The log promptly submerged and the puma snarled angrily as he swam to a big stump and crawled out of the water. A hissing lynx held the top of the stump valiantly till the bigger cat had almost reached him, then the lynx hurriedly vacated the perch. The puma paid no attention to his neigh- bours but set to work licking himself dry. Every now and then, as a burning branch hissed when it struck the water, he lifted his head, ears laid back, and snarled. The killer's natural instincts were deadened by this common enemy. As morning came, and the fire along the shore burned itself out, the fear of the carnivora abated somewhat. The lesser LUX GLEBANA ones, such as the stoats and weasels, satis- fied their hunger on the numerous rabbits among them. The lynx, hunched, be- draggled, on astump in the water, spat fear and hate at a bull moose, who swung his shovel-like antlers as he lifted his heavy head from searching for succulent grasses on the floor of the lake. Later in the day, clouds gathered in the West. Rain poured in torrents upon the smoking landscape. The occupants of the sand bar began to disperse into the charred forest. The danger was over: the fire was out. Pklkvk A Story From the Old Folks by Harold Willis AVE YOU ever been present at a gathering of the old folks? Have you ever listened to their tales of, when I was young or, I can remember when? Sometimes these stories are so very fantastic, they carry you away with mirth, but sometimes they leave you puz- zled, wondering. Those that involve mys- tery and superstitition, the same that make you peer closely into the dark before going upstairs to bed, are perhaps the most inter- esting. Ant it is one of these latter that I wish to relate to you. Decide for yourself whether it was merely an hallucination, or a fiesh-and-blood truth. Pkvlfvk Marybelle sat with her parents before the fire-place in which glowed faintly the last embers of what had been a great roaring fire. There were no electric lights in those days, and as no one had bothered to light a lamp, the large room was almost in dark- ness. A silence had descended on the room just as had the shadows when the flames withdrew. No one stirred, no one spoke. Even the wind outside had paused for the moment, breathless. Suddenly, out of the night rang a piercing scream, that sent shivers up and down the spines of each of that quiet group of three, and chilled them to the marrow of the bone. What was that? The question flashed across their minds though they knew it was the cry of some terrified human being. The fiames lept up again as they caught LUX GLEBANA on one last piece of wood that had somehow gone untouched. The darkness lifted from the room, and the wind began to blow, whistle, and roar. Mary-belle reached the window long be- fore her parents and was gazing out with wide fear-filled eyes trying to pierce the gloom. Nothing was there, the river close by seemed to be going on as before. The bridge was desertedg no sign of life could be seen. That night, the poor frightened girl was unable to sleep. She tossed restlessly from side to side while in her mind were conjured hideous phantoms, spectres, spirits, and screaming people. v The next morning, word was brought that her uncle had been found in the river,- drowned. A few weeks passed and the rather my- sterious death of Mary-belle's uncle ceased to be a topic among the superstitious towns-people. They had reasoned it out step by step-all except the answer. The deceased had, been in the habit of crossing the bridge going to and from work. He had been happy at home with a wife and children. It was unlikely that he had com- mitted suicide, and yet, how else could the question of his death be explained? Surely no one had pushed him off? Although mourning was still observed among the friends and relatives of the un- fortunate man, everyone went about their respective business. Life was marching on in spite of death! In the mind of Mary- belle, however, that dark night and that one awful scream had made a vivid impres- sion. Being little more than a child, her imagination served to increase her fear and suspicion. Then, one night when every one was sound asleep and the house in. darkness, Mary- belle awoke to hear a voice calling, Mary. . .Mary ...... come here. Without the power 'to resist, she arose and with slow hesitant steps, went in the direction of that strange voice. As she reached the hall, there before her stood her uncle-returned from the grave. Terrified, she opened her mouth to scream, but no sound came forth. Fear had rendered her speechless. With cold staring eyes and expressionless face, the spirit came forward and in that same strange voice that she had heard moaned, I was pushed from the bridge, Mary. I was pushed from the bridge, Mary. continued on page 77 PageQ37' 1. THE WALLS OF ROME. 4. SEA COWBOY CHILDRENS DAY, Bois DE BOULOGNE. 5. H BLACKROCK CASTLE, CORK. 3. MARKET DAY, GLENGARIFF, EIRE. 6.

Wily old Ulysses, Alfred Lord Tennyson, Richard Halliburton, and a host of other shadowy figures in literature and history were the instigators. Early spring was quickening the blood. Form IVG were hearing of the restlessness of Penelope's aged but vigorous spouse on Ithaca. A student came in to report on his reading of Halliburton's The Glorious Adventure . Tis not too late to seek a newer world. Push off and sitting well in order smite The sounding furrowsg Those lines had sent Halliburton winging away, said the reporting Third Former. Push off-- I leaned out the window, sniffed the spring air and took a deep resolve. June 24 saw me on the deck of a cattle- boat in Montreal harbour. I have not seen Montreal since. For nine days I was a sea cowboy. Our gang of twenty included such diverse elements as a Harvard senior and a Hamilton steel puddler, a sick Maltese sailor and an Ottawa school teacher. We slept in springless bunks, ate coarse food and fed and watered eight hundred cattle. Some of us were very sick and when the sun came out and the magic hills of Donegal gleamed on the starboard bow, a cheer went up. . In the short scope of this article one can- not begin to compress events which would require a volume if they were treated ade- quately. A glance at the accompanying sketch map will illustrate the wide range of the summer's wanderings. Only some high- lights can be mentioned. England we toured on the excellent English bicycles. We saw the misty hills of the Lake Country and the sad slag-heaps of South Wales. We ate the best food of the summer in Scotland and loitered in Dum- LUX GLEBANA fries, flagrant with the memories of Robert Burns. In London my experiences varied from the dives of Limehouse and White- chapel to a sight of the King and Queen waving from the balcony of Buckingham Palace. In Ireland we witnessed the Orange cele- bration in Belfast on July 12, stood and mused on the silent battlefield of the Boyne, lingered in Drogheda, mindful of Cromwell's massacre, were hard put to escape from friendly, leisurely, eighteenth century Dublin and assisted at the unveiling of a tablet on the house where John McCormick was born in Athlone. I loitered too long in Ireland visiting Kilkee, the village on the wild west coast where my grandparents were born, and as a consequence had to cycle 112 miles in one day to catch the boat at Ross- lare. Living in the British Isles cost us little. We slept in the Youth Hostels for a shilling a night, and picnicked by the roadsidewhen weather permitted. All told, we ate, slept and travelled for less than a dollar a day. Youth Hostel accommodation ranged in grandeur from Hoddom Castle in Scotland, to a three-room, thatched cottage in Raholp, a hamlet in County Down. Leaving our faithful bikes behind, veterans of a thousand miles of cycling, we crossed the Channel and first trod the historic soil of France at Dieppe. Continental travel is dirt cheap and convenient and as the sands of our summer were running out, a faster than cycling pace was necessary. A fast French auto-rail rushed us to Paris at one hundred and thirty-two kilometres an hour, after we had sat in Rouen's ancient market place to reconstruct the martyrdom of St. Joan of Arc. Henry James said All good Americans go to Paris when they die . I am glad we did not have to wait that long. Seeing the dawn come up behind the flying buttresses of Notre Dame is an unforget- table sight. We paused at Clermont among the Puys of - Auvergne where the First Crusade was launched, and spent some in- credibly sunny days at Avignon where we danced sur la. pant , and at the old Roman towns of Arles and Nimes. Since the ' Page 39 harbour and hills of 2,700 years old Marseilles claimed our attention more than Monte Carlo, Nice and Cannes, we sped through the Riveira by night. We emerged into daylight at Genoa, birthplace of Columbus, and revelled in a Mediterranean swim at 7.30 a.m. Finding the Week-end hot in Milan, we spent it in the Italian Alps and came down from our mountain retreat on Monday to loiter around Venice, Uthroned on her hundred isles . We literally Went under the Ap- penines to Florence, home of the Renaissance, and came at last to Eternal Rome. Here the new and vigorous rubs shoulders with the old and timeworn. Pompeii brought the ancient world closer to me than any text book had ever done, and to stand in Brindisi where Vergil died brought the Aeneid to vivid life. A comfortable little Greek steamer bore us across a placid Ionian Sea to Greece, touching at Corcyra where the Pelopon- nesian War began and passing within a stone's throw of Ithaca, the little rocky kingdom of Ulysses. Threading the great sword-cut of the Corinth Canal We dropped anchor in the Piraeus, the harbour of Them- istocles. With a quickening of the heart we saw it at last-the Parthenon on the Acropolis, against a clear blue sky, and we knew we were in Athens, the violet-crowned. A bumpy, hair-breadth bus-ride took us to Delphi on the slope of Mt. Parnassus and a five mile-an-hour train carried us to Nauplia from where we explored prehistoric Tiryns and Homeric Mycenae. We took our last look at Ancient Greece at Olympia and our last look at modern Greece at Patras at which latter point we boarded the Italian Liner, Vulcania. Aboard her we met some charming people and with them explored Palermo and Mon- reale in Sicily, the Arab quarter of Algiers half-English, half-Levantine Gibraltar, where we saw a sinking Spanish Republican cruiser, Lisbon stirring to new life under the enlightened Salazar, and the Azores, the Happy Isles of the ancients. . p 1 fqcvrnavmfa - -0----r----v---V-,.. .

Hali- fax saw me board the R. M. S. Colborne , and from that time on, I was lost somewhere in the Atlantic ocean. Perhaps the captain and mates knew where we were. I did not. At any rate, they figured and figured, swore a bit at the helmsman and we steamed in and out of the various West Indies islands, ending up in British Guiana, from whence we turned tail and headed for home. Throughout all this time, I was doing my best to do as a seaman should. I un- coiled ropes, threw them over the side, brought them in again and re-coiled them. All done with a definite purpose, I assure you, at least, that is what the bo'sun led me to believe. He also led me to believe that seamen who did not get all the work done that was assigned them, were very naughty. I admit that he did not use those exact words, but he put it in as delicate a manner as could be expected. CAnyone who has had anything to do with deep-sea work, will understand what I mean. The others might easily guess.J At this point, I should like to mention a quaint little custom, known to seamen as squeegeeing. The secret of the contents of this squeegee is locked fast in the bo'sun's heart. It is very interesting to see him, in the queer light of the eager dawn, take handfuls of this mysterious stuff and with weird incantations, throw it on the surface of a large barrelful of water. He then stirs it with a magic stick and doles it out in pails to the eagerly waiting seamen, who dash off with it, two chunks of waste and a pail of fresh water, to clean those many, many, many square feet of white paint. After about three days of hearty work, you think you are through, but, oh, no! the continued from page L0 September 5 we saw the towers of Man- hattan rising from the water and after endless red tape at the American customs, we straightened away for Ottawa in a friend's new Chevrolet. The morning of September 6, I was back at my desk in Room 213, finding it hard to realize that two weeks before I had been lolling on a hillside in Hellas. Lux GLEBANA bo'sun informs you that while you were working aft, Father Time and Dirt have been playing havoc with your nice, white paintwork up for'ardg so, back at it again. Squeegeeing is, I swear, the closest ap- proach to perpetual motion that man has yet discovered. Then, just by the way of variety, the bo'sun offers CDid I say Offers ? Well, it was a mistake, but please overlook it.J the bo'sun offers you the pastime of scraping the for'ard well-deck. Here, I thought, is a chance to spend a few comparatively idle days, so, with bounding spirits, I rushed for'ard, grabbed a scraper and began to scrape my way along the deck in the most heavenly bliss. After about an hour of keen enjoyment, the bo'sun's voice rudely tore aside the golden cobwebs entwined about my mind. You know this has gotta be finished by two bells, don'tcha? I did not. About half an hour later. An oiled! ' It was done. I do not know how and do not care, but from that day on, squeegeeing was a haven to meg a thing, haunted only by the fear of hearing, Hey, you! Go get a scraper and do that for'ard well-deck. All this time, we were wandering in and out of ports, with the usual tying up and casting off, or anchoring out. First, we came to Bermuda, which looks just like a travel-folder. Here, for the one and only time, we donned our cream flannels and went up to St. George's Hotel, where, I heard CGirls!J Fred Astaire was staying. They had a beautiful dance floor set out on the lawn, overlooking a moonlit bay. A number of blue lights, shining on the Hoor, lent themselves admirably to the charm of the surroundings. May I help the travel agencies, and say that Bermuda is an excellent place for a honeymoon. Much as I hate to, I must tear you away from Bermuda, for the boat sails at eight bells in the morning. From there, we went to Guadaloupe and Martinique. Page 41 At Barbados, our next stop, where we decided a dip would be nice, the old man said no. W hy? Sharks. And yet the nig- gers swam around the ship for hours at a time, without even a single shark trying to make a meal of them. Oh, well. And Barbados was very pretty. A On to Trinidad, where we saw even more negroes. By this time, I felt that I never wanted to smell the sight of another negro. Being stuck down in the holds was a nasty job. The stevedores stole the stuff right under your eyes and you had to yell your lungs out for the mate before they would even start to think of putting it back. Then, when the day's work was through and you went ashore, there were more of them and you had to take care that you did not get the back of your head stove in for the sake of what little money you had with you. Oh, yes, it was exciting. Our last port, on the voyage south, was Georgetown QDemeraraj, British Guiana. Here we spent five or six very hot days. The mercury, hidden in the shade, shot a red finger of protest up to the one hundred and twenty mark. I, for my part, just sweated and swore. The whole time at Demerara, I think I saw no more than three white people, other than the passengers and crew. All together, things looked pretty black and British fluiana was another place I was glad to cave. Back to that rock, Trinidad, where we loaded corned beef and pineapple juice and then to Grenada. Grenada, if any of the islands, holds a high place in my affections, for it was there we had that swim. The day being Sunday, we lowered one of the life boats and rowed over to a beach about three miles distant. Man is a stupid animal. We worked hard all week and hated it, but we cheerfully took a twelve-foot oar and broke our backs slushing it through the water in order that we might run sand through our fingers and dabble our toes in the water. Still, for all the sun-burn, sore hands and stiff backs, we would willingly do it again and yet again. By the time we had beached the boat, or nearly beached it, for a life boat is a deucedly heavy thing, we had developed a tremendous thirst, but scorning the bottles of water in the boat, we dashed off, in among the palms and gathered a few freshly-fallen coconuts, tore the husks from them and, having knocked Page 42 off the head of the nut, drank the milk. Now, it may not sound very appetising, but unless you have actually done it, you cannot know the thorough enjoyment of standing in the spray of the surf, your head tipped back, with the cool, sweet milk gurgling down your throat and, occasion- ally, your chin and chest. You feel abso- lutely at peace with the world and feel that perhaps a seaman's life is not too bad, after all. No sooner have you reached this frame of mind, than, again, the bo'sun is at it. All right, shove off and grab them oars. The bo'sun never asked a man to do anything he would not do himself, the only trouble was that he expected us to do as well as he did. Never was man set a harder task. The bo'sun stood only about five foot eight, but he had shoulders that would have jammed in the Arch of Triumph, so, you see what we were up against. I have inserted this little bit of praise, because, if ever I go to sea again and run up against the bo'sun, I do not want to have to buy a new set of teeth at the next port. Be- sides, he wasn't such a bad fellow. QCan you hear me, Bos'?J That swim was the last we had on the trip. The closest thing left was a bucket of water slung at you by some obligiing fellow. We touched Barbados again and then went on to St. Lucia, where you could get a five-foot stalk of bananas for a shilling. Every man bought one-and then-the steward gave us bananas on- fruit night. Irony? Well-I do not know. Then out into the open sea. A wind blew up a few nights out and did its best to give the helmsman an overdose of exercise. The old tub would nose down into a wave as if she were going to follow through to the bottom. Oh, it was a gay affair. I should like to be dramatic and speak of the wild waves and the wind whistling in the hal- yards, but I will not. It did, though. We see-sawed our way into the Gulf of St. Lawrence until it finally smoothed out. The only damage done, was when a beauty came racing over the for'ard peak and did its best to rid us of the animal pen stuck up on the port side of the well-deck. It took away half, but must have become disgusted, for it went away, leaving us a pile of debris to clear away. Why it couldn't have taken the whole thing overboard, I do not know. LUX GLEBANA On the whole, the last leg home was un- eventful and we soon anchored out in the St. Lawrence, at Quebec. The tug-boat captains seem to resent having to warp in a Canadian National Steamship, for the poor Colborne nearly bellowed her heart out before a tug decided to take pity on us and snorted up to take our line. We unloaded all that night and got away the next morning, headed for Montreal. We made that port, too. ' Montreal, being the home port, we signed off. The men go into the purser's office on the starboard side, get their discharge sheets, collect their pay at the purser's cage, go over to the second purser's table, sign on again and back to their berths. I went in the starboard side, signed off, collected my pay, did not go to the second purser's table. did not sign on again, went out the door on the port side and back to Glebe. NCWFOUIIAIBIICI NUBIICCS Frances Parker EWFOUNDLAND! The name itself is euphonious, expressive, as are all names on the Island. They were be- stowed by settlers of the sixteenth century who, according to the practice of that day called them after the sentiment aroused by the spot or after a characteristic of it. Thus we find Cornerbrook, Misery Point, Bona- vista Bay, Random Island, Paradise, Paddle Pond, and the lonely little hamlets of Come- By-Chance and Seldom-Come-By. Not only is the inHuence of these pioneers evident in place-names, but also in the every- day speech of the people. Almost complete isolation from the world has retained the expressions of their forefathers long after they have disappeared from common use in the Mother Country. One hears empt , the verb for empty which Chaucer used, futter , probably from faitour , an idler or wastrel which was familiar to both him and Spenser, jannies meaning mum- mers , a corruption of Shakespeare's zan- nies . Bang up , first class style, and cuffer , a friendly meeting of seamen to LUX GLEBANA I swap yarns , were brought out not only to Newfoundland but, by the Pilgrim Fath- ers, to New England. French has added its piquant touch. Bete de la mer has been elided to produce bedlamer , a young seal. The origin of vandu , a sale or auction, and maugre , in spite of, is easily apparent. Incidentally, in Newfoundland a girl is not kissed-she is bazzed , a verb derived from the French baisser . Even Latin is present. Talqual is used of good and middling fish taken at the same price talis qualis , such as they are. The picturesque tongues of Devon and Ireland embellish the language. Chimbly instead of chimney, and Chucklehead for a stupid person, are used by many inhabit- ants of Devon origin. In other districts, one comes across lashin's for plenty of, spiflicated applied to a man slightly the worse for liquor, and the Gaelic words scrimshanking and shinanigin both meaning hesitancy, or the plea he put the townie on me when an Irish emigrant has been rebuked for treating a stranger to un- usual hospitality because he claimed to have come from the same town in the Old Country. In addition to words and idioms, the New- foundland people have given Words well- known to us a peculiar twist. For example, from conversation one learns that a fine day is civil or wonderful , a handsome man is clever and his valuable cow like- wise, a mosquito is a nipper , fish may be scatter few or scatter big , a thunder- struck person is comical struck , any time after twelve noon is evening, and Chere is food for thoughtj an idle boy is mis- chievous! Phrases are expressive. Who can deny the emphasis of to storm the kettle as opposed to boiling it hurriedly , give us the breeze instead of we are getting mar- ried , heave the stomach , whose inference is clear, or the practical touch revealed by the statement It's a jacket colder to- night ? Imitative harmony has been utilized in coining new words. On the king of the barnyard who graces the table on Thanks- giving Day is conferred the proud title, bubbly-jock . The chattering of teeth in shaking from cold is well described in bibber . Can you not feel a dry tickling cough in the word tissic , or see sish , Page 43 finely-pounded ice on the foreshore, and the lolly surface of the dark, oily sea just before it freezes into sish ? Each islander is a Professor Higgins in himself, able, like the leading character in Shaw's Pygmalion , to tell by the dialect from which cove the speaker comes. It is natural in a country whose greatest industry is connected with life on the sea, that nautical terms should have invaded life on the land. If someone tells you that Mrs. Jones is sitting on her bridge that does not mean that she is perched above a brook, but merely that she is enjoying the evening breeze on her verandah. When her small son wanders from the path through a marsh, he is said to have gone ashore . As the visitor to Newfoundland is approach- ing Port-aux-Basques by train to leave the island, he undulates to port and star- board down his carriage's length, and watches the line of railway cars going into the station stern -not bow-first , for even trains are nautical in Newfoundland. Not only is the language intriguing but the soft tone in which it is spoken delights the ear of the visitor. Thus their speech provides yet another bond between the mellowness of the Old Land and the rugged life of this New-found-land. vkifvk A Glebite ln bpalestine Blyth Young OT SO long ago, Mr Atkinson told us in the assembly hall of a former Glebe student, Michael R. Read, who was awarded the Military Cross for gallant and distinguished conduct in Palestine. Michael Read completed his studies at Glebe in 1933. He was well known among Glebe skiers. He attended the Royal Mili- tary College in Sandhurst, and in 1935 was gazetted as a second lieutenant in the Que-en's Own Royal West Kent Regiment, and proceeded to Palestine with his bat- talion. The following year he was pro- moted to lieutenant, and was twice mention- ed in despatches after distinguishing him- self in action at Tamra in May, and at Kh-Umm-Ad-Daraj, in November. We received a letter from Lieutenant Page 44 Read just in time for LUX publication. Unfortunately he says nothing about the M.C., but he does tell us some of his recent activities. He writes: Dear Editor: Many thanks for your letter, and my humble apologies for being so long in re- plying. My excuse, quite genuine, is that your letter arrived in Palestine after we had left those 'quiet' shores for Malta. As their is no air mail service between Palestine and Malta, it took a long time to double back on its tracks. I must say that I wouldn't have missed Palestine for anything. It certainly was a great experience. It gave me a slight idea, but only very slight, of what the real thing will be. The Arabs, thank good- ness, are extremely bad shots. As a battalion we were fortunate to be stationed in Haifa. One could get a bit of relaxation after coming in from detach- ment or a three-day trek through the hills. Most battalions were stationed in large Arab towns where there was absolutely no outside amusement-very trying indeed for the men. Our work consisted mostly in keeping order in Haifa, especially after the numerous bomb outrages, drives across large areas of country in conjunction with other bat- talions, cordon and searching of Arab villages for arms, and going on detachment. The latter was the most amusing: as a subaltern one ran one's own little show, completely cut off from the rest of the battalion, with the exception of wireless, of com'se. These detachments were usually situated near an Arab village, the idea being that one controlled by patrolling and ambushing at night a certain area and hoped that one might beat the bands away. The times we went out chasing the ever- elusive Arab gang have been too numerous to mentiong the number of times we bumped them was actually quite small. An Arab usually pounces on one, when one least expects it, pours in a few volleys, and then melts into the landscape. Malta is not without its excitement. We are just getting over the Albanian flop. We quite expected to be bombed off the island last Sunday or Monday by our little pal Musso . Many thanks for your letter. Yours sincerely, Michael Read. LUX GLEBANA Michael's brother, Monty Read, who left Glebe around 1931, was at one time with the Cameron Highlanders in Ottawa. He later went to the R.A.F. college at Cranwell. Two years afterwards he was posted as a pilot officer in the British air force. Subsequently he became a flight lieutenant. Just as the LUX was about to go to press it was learned that he had been promoted to squadron leader With head- quarters at Aden, Arabia. vlffklk Paradise ln French by John Jenness HE French Colony lies deep in the , heart of the Laurentians, about 80 miles north of Montreal and only a short distance from two of Quebec's most famous winter and summer resorts, Ste. Agathe and Ste. Marguerite. To reach the Colony we travelled into Ste. Agathe, thence over a narrow and exceedingly bumpy, gravel road, past summer cottages half-hidden behind towering pines, past dirty farm-houses contrasting strangely with the tiny, dark green lakes which we came upon unexpectedly at every turn, past hills and valleys and streams, steadily ascending, until We suddenly rounded a bend and saw Lac Ouareau, our destination, lying wide and serene before us. A jovial, elderly woman welcomed us to the camp and showed us over the grounds and through the various buildings. There were six log cabins, all quite large. The building on the extreme right contained the central dining-room and kitchen, the next, divided into six spacious bedchambers, was the home of the older women. Beside it stood another, almost identical in structure, occupied by the younger women. The fourth, a veritable cottage, and actually called the Chalet, marked the central meeting-place of the community. The down stairs contained a comfortable sitting-room, a study, and two bedrooms at the rear. Outside the sitting-room stood a large, sunny verandah overlooking the lake, where we received instructions in French except, of course, during rainy Weather. The next cabin was the home of the married couples, and our cabin, la maison des celebre- taires , as we called it, stood at the extreme left, overlooking the lake. LUX GLEBANA The camp stood near one end of Ouareaug behind us rose the highest mountain in the immediate district, heavily blanketed with magnificent pines and birches. Ahead lay the lake, surrounded on all sides by hills, hazy and purple, rising majestically towards the blue heaven. Numerous islands, some small sandy ones, others large and deep- clad in pines, dotted the lake. The shore- line was marked everywhere with golden sandbarsg the lake water sparkled a dark green, and crystal clear as only lake Water can be-seven square miles of paradise. The regular routine followed by the camp proved very successful. A gong awakened us at eight, and we had breakfast served a half hour later. We gathered on the ver- andah of the Chalet at 9.30, where one of the three instructors delivered a forty- minute lecture in French. We were not expected to understand everything, but gradually our ears became more and more accustomed to hearing and comprehending the French. Following the lecture we di- vided into three groups, according to our knowledge of the language, and held another forty minute discussion with one of the three group instructors, all of whom were or- iginally Parisians. We had the remainder of the morning free to do as we wished, and also the entire afternoon and the evening until nine o'clock, when we assembled in the Chalet again, to participate in any one of a number of programmes. One evening we stammered through Char- ades, played in French, anotheriwe devoted entirely to music, and another to short skits which we found in a little book and enacted ourselves. These programmes last- ed just as long as our interest lasted,but we always had such uproarious fun that the party seldom broke up before eleven-thirty. An unlimited number of attractions busied us during our free hours. Behind the camp, at the end of a brisk walk to the top of the mountain, stood a ninety-foot ranger's tower which afforded a magnificent view deep into all the surrounding valleys, and far out over the tops of the Laurentians. The camp left several canoes and a small sail-boat at our disposal, and kept a tennis-court and croquet-lawn in good condition, so that we often spent the greater part of the day pad- dling, or playing tennis or croquet. For those who found no pleasure in violent ex- ercise, shady paths wandered in and out through the woods surrounding the camp, and occasionally burst forth unexpectedly upon some magnificent sandy beach where we might lie and bask in the sun for hours at a time. Page .45 All types of people, both young and old, yet all having the same view in mind, had come to spend the summer at Ouareau. The group included: an old Russian gentle- man, reputedly an aristocrat in former years, an eminent New York lawyer of German descent who swam like a Walrus and climbed the surrounding hills like an Alpine guide 5 and a college co-ed from the States. Even the lady who ran the camp was an originale and set a new and en- tirely unique style in women's clothes. Her white hair hung about like last-month's permanent, and as her Sunday best she wore a brown middy-blouse, white knee- breeches, and a startling pair of checkered green-and-white stockings above a shiny pair of gentlemens Oxford shoes. Never- the less, I must give her credit for estab- lishing so iine a camp, and for the skill she has shown in managing it, and I hope to return to her menagerie this summer to meet once again all my last-year's friends. Bon soir mes amis-a l'annee prochaine-- bonne chance! Pklkif Un Peu cie Francais l.'Homme Le Plus Sot by Gustave Hurtubise 'EST jeudi-neuf heures. D'ici deux jours, je dois remettre a l'editeur du Lux Glebana une composition ayant pour titre: L'homme le plus sot . Qui choisir?-Serait-ce moi? Il y a un an environ, un de mes anciens professeurs de francais m'avait demande une redaction sur l'histoire d'un chapeau . Selon mes habitudes, je remis le travail a la toute derniere minute. Ce fut une risee, un gachis. Le professeur lut mon travail devant tous les eleves et l'on ne manqua pas de se moquer de moi. Ah, si cette composition avait ete remise sur le metier, polie et repolie, sans nul doute qu'elle n'aurait pas encouru tant de vertes re- marques, Aussi, ai-je encaisse tout le blame sans maugreer, car je l'avais bien merite. Le dirai-je? Je n'avais commence mon travail que la veille de la remise. Que bretter sur les memoires d'un vieux chapeau? Quarante lignes, c'etait beaucoup. Alors, je me mis a penser at cextains conseils que nous avait donnes le professeur. Recourons aux contrafzfres, aux semblables, aux circon- Page L6 stances environnant l'histoire, bref, recourons au chapeaui Un quart d'heure plus tard, mon travai etait termine. Je le trouvais parfaitement ridicule, long et plat. Que me fallait-1l faire? Abreger ceci? biffer cela?- mais, trop tard-j'avais tant besoin de sommei . Et, aujourd'hui, c'est le meme probleme qui se pose. J 'ai promis a l'editeur de lui ecrire un petit article. Lux ira bientot sous presse-il est grand temps que je me mette a l'oeuvre.

But all these qualities are of little avail unless it is personal, and that means more than the jokes. It was this personal interest that we liked in the Seventeenth Annual Concert, pre- sented on Friday and Saturday, January 27th and 28th. We think that having this quality present was really an achievement, considering the large number of people in- volved in staging the concert and the large number for whom it was staged. The whole concert revolved around the visit of Mr. and Mrs. Upright, parents of Glebe students, to the school. A picture of school life was revealed through both group display and individual contributions. One of the first things that they looked in on was a burlesque classroom scene. A great part of the programme was musical. To this the orchestra, the band, the Glee Club, an assembly of 280 Ninth graders, a male quartet, a trumpet quartet, a string quartette, all contributed. C0ne more quartet, and we would have had a quartet of quartetsj The Boys' Gym Team gave a thrilling exhibit on the parallel bars. The Girls' group presented exercises as they were done in 1900 and 1939. The 1900 group romped vigorously, doing some clever individual clowningg the 1939 division moved smoothly through their streamlined act in very smart costumes. In the Girls' Locker Room ten dirndl-clad damsels tap-danced to swing time. Another group of toe dancers gave an interpretation of the Waltz of the Flowers . Everyone enjoyed the melodrama, in which the villain particularly was a great success. The orchestra added to the at- mosphere with their sound effects. There is more in a large concert than meets the eye. The task of organization, practice routine, and actual performance is a gi- gantic one, requiring a great deal of hard Page 50 work and patience. Yet we think that the participants must have each one gained a valuable experience and had a good time at it, too. :kills The Science Club Dance HE SEVENTH Annual Dance of the Science Club was held on Friday, March 3rd. It again proved the greatest social attraction of the year as over two hundred couples enjoyed dancing to the strains of Ted Donaldson's ten-piece or- chestra. The combined gymnasia were attractively decorated in the Glebe blue and gold while a strong scientific touch was added by posters placed at strategic points, de- picting various chemical processes. The crossed retorts, the insignia of the Club, stood out in delicate silhouette on the or- chestra shadow-boxes. A highlight of the evening was the ex- cellent fioor show which many agreed was the best ever seen on the Glebe fioor. Ap- petizing box-lunches, largely prepared by the girls of the Club and satisfying bottled drinks were served about eleven-thirty. Honorary guests present included Mr. and Mrs. W. D. T. Atkinson, Mr. and Mrs. MacNeil, Mr. McGregor, Mr. Pollock and Mr. Callan. The great success of the evening was due to the willing help of all members of the Club ' but particular thanks are due the following: Mr. Bullock, our sponsor, who supervised all detailsg Bud Bolton, decor- ating and general itemsg Keith Scobie, the drinks, Daphne Neville, the lunch 3 Laurie Watson, the lightingg Argyle Connelly, the floor showg Jack Wilson, the ticket saleg Keith McCaffrey, posters and advertisingg and Bob Cole, the spotlight.

LUX GLEBANA The Football Dance LEBE'S annual football dance came as the crowning event to another successful football season. We gath- ered in the gymnasium on November fourth to celebrate our Interscholastic City Cham- pionship. Football motifs effectively decorated the combined gymnasia. An amusing feature of the decoration scheme was the sight of two dummies garbed in football attire. We observed one of them sprawled dejectedly in the high basket at the end of the room. Of course he was supposed to have been thrown there by his strong Glebe rival who was jauntily perched on a stand nearby. Clever football posters with blue and gold streamers completed the picture. The popular dance music of Ted Donald- son's orchestra together with a floor show contributed added enjoyment to our even- ing's pleasure. A vocal solo by Joy Kermack and dance numbers by Margery Allan, Ruth Donovan, and Alison Thomas met with an enthusiastic reception. Box-lunches were served at 'midnight and favours dis- tributed, bringing to a close another of Glebe's memorable dances. L. NEWMAN. is wk wk The 'At Home' OFT music, the rustling of long skirts, and the rhythmic shufiiing of dancing feet-we are in the ballroom of Glebe Collegiate where the Annual At Home dance is in full swing. We have just been greeted by Mr. and Mrs. Atkinson, Mr. McGregor, Laurie Grindlay and our head boy, Gordon Beattie. Now welook around us and observe the decorations with interest. The transfor- mation from combined gymnasia to ball- room seems to have been accomplished by the skilfully draped blue and gold banners together with streamers and balloons also bearing our school colours. Berkeley Kidd's much heralded orchestra has been given the place of honour at the far end of the room. From this section comes the music which seems to be forcing our most serious students into a gay dancing mood. At eleven o'clock the parade to the Cafe- teria for refreshments is begun. The latter consist of sandwiches, coffee, ice cream LUX GLEBANA and cake. There are also novelty favours to delight us. Dancing continues until twelve o'clock when the strains of the Home Waltz warn us that, like Cinderella, we must leave the ball. We journey home- wards,-feeling indeed grateful to the Com- mittee who, on the evening of December 28th, have provided us with another mem- orable dance in the history of the Glebe At Home . fkvkvk Our Visitors MONG the memorable events of our Collegiate life, none are recalled with greater pleasure than the visits of those distinguished persons who inspire us with visions of the outside world. These contacts with personages who are outstand- ing in their respective Helds, and whose counsel and advice is highly prized, cannot but stimulate higher ambitions among the students and a fuller appreciation of life and hospitality. The Annual Closing Exercises held on June Sth, last, were graced by the visit of a distinguished group including the Hon. Denton Massey, M. P. In his forceful message to the students, Mr. Massey urged that each one should develop a hobby. Find out what you can do best, he said, then hit it hard, for the fellow who has the most luck is generally the one who works the hardest. Mr. Massey believed that the present generation was the finest that this country had ever produced, being more frank and more straightforward, in many respects, than previous generations. Mayor Stanley Lewis was also on the platform and presented the Ronald Ames Memorial Trophy. On this occasion we had the pleasure of welcoming our esteemed friends, Dr. MacDougall and Mr. Nichol who were to be again with us in September at the Annual presentation of the Collegiate Coun- cil prizes. In October, Mr. Orion Low, a prominent Ottawa lawyer, spoke on behalf of the annual Community Chest Campaign appealing for more generous contributions for the many needy families in the city. Shortly before the closing of the fall term, Glebe students once more welcomed a for- mer teacher, Mr. W. A. Graham, to the Assembly Hall. Mr. Graham has spent practically the past three years in the Fed- erated Malay States and his description of this land was of great interest to all. Mr. Graham said the native tongue of nearly Page 51 every country in Europe is represented by the inhabitants of Singapore who were vividly depicted in their native costume in the lantern slides which followed. At the Commencement Exercises on Jan- uary third, Academic prizes and diplomas were presented. Rev. Dr. T. J. Thompson delivered the principal address and took as his subject Length, Breadth and Width . Length brought to mind the forward march and purpose of youth, Breadth was the widening of sympathy with outside things through education, and Height', meant the upward looking of students in the realm of religion. Other guests on the platform were Dr. A. H. MacDougall, J. W. York, K. C., Dr. McGregor Easson, Chief Inspector of Public Schools, and C. A. Latour, Separate School Inspector. A few days later, we greeted one of our American friends from Newark, New Jersey, in the person, of Miss Kaye, a representative of one of the Junior Colleges in the States. Early in February, under the auspices of the Bell Telephone Company, we were shown motion pictures illustrating the travelling of sound waves in the air and modern telephone equipment. We once more thank the Bell Telephone Company for their kindness in sending a representative to our school. About two weeks later in February, Mr. K. S. Buzek, Trade. Commissioner for Czecho-Slovakia, gave us a splendid talk on his native country, illustrated by motion pictures. These showed a country rich in natural beauty Whose fine old castles and other famous buildings bespoke a great historial background. Mr. Buzek told us that before the division following the Munich Conference, Czecho-Slovakia, although then only one-seventh the size of Ontario, was one of the world's leading industrial centers. He showed us the Country's Crest, and in conclusion said that practically the only thing to which the people of Czecho-Slovakia had to look forward was the motto engraved on this crest, viz., Peace with Honour . Although every year a High School In- spector visits Glebe, we rarely see him in our Assembly Hall. This year, however, we were most fortunate in having Mr. W. A. Jennings address us at the conclusion of his last visit to us as School Inspector. His inspiring message clearly showed that he knew what appealed to the younger gener- ation. -2512 Old Boys' Column HIS YEAR the Lux Staff has decided on a new column, one to let you know about the activities of a few of Glebe's former students who have dis- tinguished themselves in scholastic work and some who are in unusual positions. We cannot, of course, attempt to make this column include all former Glebe pupils whose names should be included, and we apologize to those who are left out but who deserve to be here. We have a letter from a former student whom most of you know, Herbie May. Hollywood, Mar. 21st Dear Friends at Glebe:- My activities since leaving good old Glebe have been varied, but what started out to be a hobby has become a very interesting vocation. After a couple of years of good radio grounding at CBO, I Was transferred to Toronto where I was fortunate enough to become associated with the Happy Gang and several large commercials. From Tor- onto I migrated to Hollywood last fall to join the Columbia Broadcasting System in the capacity of an announcer-producer. My duties I think are self-explanatory, I announce and produce both local and net- work programmes which, originate in KNX. How I have been fortunate enough to have MEN'S WEAR sv 4 CQMW' 121 BANK ST.

I would very much appreciate receiving a copy of the Lux as I haven't seen one for years. As ever, Glebite , CSignedj Herbert H. May. 34 Pk wk We also have a letter from Don Wel- lington, whom all of you who were inGlebe last year remember. Hello old Friends :- Have you ever thought it odd, when, setting out for a particular destination, you find yourself at another? When I left you last year I travelled about 160 miles of the way to Africa-my destination. The plans changed and after roaming around the Mediterranean as a wandering minstrel, looking for adventure and trouble, and getting both, I now sit beside a nice warm fire in a room at Farnborough, England, as a photographer in the Royal Air Force. It's quite a change from the musical life I've been living but I'm quite happy in this new sphere. The name of Canada may be carried proud- ly in any part of the world and those who are Canadians, should be proud to come from a land so progressive and yet peaceful. One finds such a change from Canada in England-your methods, your outlook on life, are so different. To me, the average person here is not as educated, or friendly as the average Canadian, the people seem contented with so little of everything. They haven't the simple home conveniences. Very few homes have such a common- place thing asa telephone. Refrigeration is practically unknown in the home. The catering in even the biggest of London tea- 1 shops is far below the standard of the average Ottawa cafe. A soda fountain is seldom seen and the delightful assorted dishes that are dear to the heart of everyone of you-pies, ice cream, sandwiches, cakes, are unknown. The famous hot-dog and hamburger have only been heard of, never seen or tasted in this little island. How I long for a hamburger smothered in onions! It's nearly 4 p.m., tea-time in England. Before I close may I say that wherever you go, keep high that sportsmanship, friend- ship, and good humour found at THE School. Thanks for the opportunity of this little chat. See you again some day. Sincerely, fSignedj Don. ik 41 ak EN MCADAM is one of the boys whom all the students in the upper forms will remember. He was Pres- ident of the Student Council in Glebe, and won the Ronald Ames Memorial Trophy at the end of the school year in 1935. He went from Glebe to McMaster University on an Ontario Hockey Association scholar- ship. Immediately, Ken was a prominent member of the football and hockey teams at McMaster. During the season 1937-38 he was captain of the hockey team, and he was captain of the football team in 1938. He is also well known on the track, tennis courts, and in the swimming pool. Ken was on the Athletic Council at Mc- Master for four years, and this year is President of the Student Council. These are just a few of Ken's many activities. He has a fine tenor voice, and is in great demand at the churches, college dances, and amateur operatic presentations. Last year he won the award for the best tenor solo at the Canadian Music Festival in London, Ontario, and also the award for the best duet, with Olive Barlow Blakeley.

Our orchestra under the baton of our new conductor, Mr. R. N. McGregor, B.A., has improved greatly both in number and in calibre. Out of twenty-two of the num- bers at the concert, fifteen included music to at least some degree. This is surely in- dicative of the part music has come to play in our school entertainment. Too, Glebe has a band of which she is justly proud. Spectators at the rugby games will certainly have appreciated the fine service it rendered and the glory it added to Glebe's name. The Glee Club surpassed itself this year at the concert. It was easily the finest and most polished performance it has yet pre- sented. Mr. D. M. Westington, B. A., and his singers deserve high praise for the high standard they have set for themselves. Any article on music in our school would surely be incomplete without at least some mention of the Music Appreciation Club, started by the initiative of one of our Upper School students, Blyth Young. With access to a large library of the world's finest re- corded music, for several years he has de- sired to share his pleasure with others who appreciate good music. This year his hopes bore fruit. The Music Appreciation Club has a regular attendance of forty to fifty members which has risen on several occas- ions to seventy. It meets on alternate Tuesdays, when a recorded programme of about one hour is presented, along with explanations and summaries of the pieces to be heard. The plan has proved very suc- cessful and it is to be hoped that the club will continue to function even after its in- itiator has left Glebe. Music is enjoying one of its greatest years since the founding of the school. We who are leaving the school at the end of this year will have, to our sorrow, but little connection with its future. Nevertheless, with this year as a foundation, we cannot but hope for even greater things in music at the Glebe Collegiate. Slffkvk William Reynolds: I like workg it fascin- ates me.

I imagine that most of those do who have not simply read the title of this article and passed on to something else. To others, Grace Moore, Lily Pons, Jeanette MacDonald- and Gladys Swarthout-artists, it is true, in their own field and Within their own range of capacities, are more familiar names. Flag- stad is in a class by herself. A Madame Flagstad is probably the great- est soprano in the world to-day, and one of the greatest of all time. She was born near Oslo, Norway, about the turn of the century. Her father was an orchestra lead- er. Her mother, known even to-day as the musical mama of Norway, was a Page 55 pianist and Norway's finest opera coach. That she was destined for a musical career was evident from the fact that at the age of ten, merely cut of interest, she learned the role of Elsa in Lohengrin. When she was seventeen, at a time when Tiefland, an opera by d'Albert, was being produced in Oslo, some difficulty was ex- perienced in filling the part of Nuri, a little girl. Kirsten was handed the score and told that she would be given an audition if she could have the part ready in two days. This she did, and two months later made her debut at the Oslo Opera. Afterwards she sang some twenty different operatic roles in Oslo. Later a theatre for the production of operetta was built in Oslo. Flagstad was asked to sing leading roles, but declined- she had been a grand opera artist and had no desire to descend to opere-tta. These productions, however, met with eminent success, and finally, unable to resist the financial inducement offered, she accepted. Later she regarded this work in operetta as having afforded her an opportunity for excellent training for more serious and ex- acting roles. In 1933, for the first time in a country other than her own, she was invited to sing at the great Wagnerian theatre at Bayreuth in Bavaria. There she was assigned to minor roles. Artur Bodanzky, conductor of the Metropolitan Opera Association, heard her, and arranged for her to appear as understudy to another soprano during the season 1934-35 in New York. The other soprano has since faded out of the picture. A debut at the Metropolitan is always an exciting event. Generally it is preceded by much publicity and advertising. Signor Gatti-Casazza, general manager of the Met- ropolitan at the time, fully aware of her artistry, saw to it that there was little or no advertising, he preferred to introduce the element of surprise. On February 3, 1935, a Saturday afternoon, Madame Flag- stad appeared for the first time on this side of the ocean in the role of Sieglinde in Die Walkiire. After the first act the audience went wild with enthusiasm-I know because I was listening to the radio at the time. The music columns of the morning papers the next day were full of praise of the new soprano. The following Wednesday the new Sieg- linde was to sing Isolde in the greatest of all music dramas, Tristan und Isolde, by Richard Wagner. Since pre-war days there Page 56 had not been even an adequate Isolde at the Metropolitan 5 would Flagstad do as well in this role as she had in Die Walkiire? Opera lovers, hoping to hear a real Isolde, packed the theatre for the first time in many years. She sang the part gloriously, as it had not been sung here in many years, and almost immediately she captivated her audience by a beautiful stage presence, by youth, sincerity, and dramatic feeling con- veyed equally by acting and by song, wrote Olin Downes in the New York Times. Referring to the sweeping climax of the first act, he went on: Heaven be praised, the soprano had the voice to achieve the musical apotheosis of the situation. That voice soared 3 the sustained A carried the thrill that only the human voice, of all instruments, communicates. More triumphs in Wagnerian roles fol- lowed in rapid succession: Elsa in Lohengrin, Briinnhilde in Die Walkiire and Gotter- dammerung, Elisabeth in Tannhauser. The following year she sang Brtinnhilde in Siegfried and Kundry in Parsifal. Her first and only non-Wagnerian role at the Metropolitan was Leonora in Beethoven's Fidelio. She was to sing the title role in an Italian opera, Norma, by Bellini, but her time was so fully occupied that she was unable to become sufficiently familiar with the language in which the opera was written, and she insists upon knowing the inner meaning of every word she sings. Two years ago Wagner's early opera, The Flying Dutchman, was revived with Flagstad sing- ing Senta. I have been fortunate enough to hear Kirsten Flagstad in person eleven times, three times in concert and eight times at the Metropolitan, to say nothing of innum- erable broadcasts and many phonograph recordings. I heard her first concert of the season on Monday, October 5, 1936, in the Imperial Theatre in Montreal. We drove from Ottawa that afternoon, heard a mem- orable concert, and arrived home about four o'clock in the morning. Consequently I slept in and in the afternoon found out in no uncertain manner that my absence had resulted in the spoiling of two perfect reports for 4E, Mr. Bullock's class. But music hath charms. . . The first opera I heard with Madame Flagstad in the cast was Die Walkiire. She sang Briinnhilde, not Sieglinde as in her debut. Die Walkiire, it may be noted, is the second of a series of four music dramas entitle-d The Ring of the Nibelungs, the others, in the order named, being Das Rheingold, Siegfried, and Gotterdammerung LUX GLEBANA fthe Twilight of the Godsj. Those of you who saw The Big Broadcast of 1938, have an idea of what she looks like as Briinnhilde, but you can have only a faint conception of the beauty of her voiceg for no manner of reproduction has captured it in all its glory and magnificence. Just two days later I heard the strongest cast the Metropolitan has to offer-the best, indeed, that any opera company could offer-in Lohengrin. Flagstad sang Elsa g the title role was taken by Lauritz Melchior. During my visit to New York in March of this year I heard Flagstad seven times in eleven days. The first was as Isolde in Tristan and Isolde. The performance began twenty minutes after the arrival of the train in New York on March 1, but the mad rush from the station to theatre was amply rewarded. Ever since I have loved music I have wanted to hear Tristan and Isolde more than anything else 5 all that I had an- ticipated was realized., The world's greatest heroic tenor, Lauritz Melchior, sang op- posite Flagstad, as he did in seven of the eight operas I have heard over a period of two years in which she appeared. To hear Melchior sing the one word Isolde and to hear Flagstad reply, singing one syllable on F- Hal -is a thrill never to be forgotten. The love duet in the second act, music which many consider the loveliest ever written, becomes almost unendurably beau- tiful. There is magic in the opera house when these two sing Wagner. Another unforgettable experience was the singing of Briinnhilde int Gotterdaninierung, which I heard twice. Of this performance Olin Downes writes: Madame Flagstad's Briinnhilde is not only beyond the reach of any other living Wagnerian Soprano, but it is her own greatest part. This holds not only as concerns the magnificent voice and the technical resource of its employment, but also because of the sovereign nobility and pathos of her interpretation. . . The final scene finds Madame Flagstad with ample reserve of voice, and also with the stature, the gesture, the epic consciousness, which carries the vast music drama to its complete consummation. 'This is indeed the large utterance of the early gods! During Flagstad's professional career she has sung more than sixty roles in operetta and grand opera. America has heard only ten of these roles, all in German. Before leaving her native land she did all her sing- ing in the Scandinavian tongues. But the difficulties of language would not deter Madame Flagstad from singing Italian roles. Lillian Nordica, one of the great Isoldes of the past, rehearsed the ,role with piano a thousand times before she would consent to sing it in public. Flagstad studied this role for six weeks before singing it in public. She learned the Gotterdammerung Briinnhilde in two weeks. If the music-loving public did not insist upon hearing her so frequently both in operasand in concert, she would no doubt be able within a comparatively short time to encompass the difficulties of the Italian language and thus open upanother wide field of accomplishment. However that may be, of one thing we may be cer- tain-that she will be enshrined among the immortals in the halls of musical fame. , Sfvkvk Positive, means being mistaken at the top of one's voice.

V. E. Bunnocx, QSPONSORQ. HE GLEBE Collegiate Science Club has become an institution of no small importance 'to the students. It is now in its seventh year and each year it has been increasing in usefulness. In the beginning it was a something extra to the classroom. To-day it has become a dis- tinctive institution managed by its members for the additional knowledge they may draw from membership in it. To many students it is still just a name 5 but that it is more than this will be realized from the statement concerning its activities which follows. The membership is limited to sixty students who, after the requirements of the constitution, must Cab take an Upper School Science subject, tbl have at least 2nd Class Honours in Middle School Chemistry, and Ccj have 5091. at all times during the year. Page 58 The sixty potential scientists are divided into ten groups of six members each. Meet- ings are held every other Wednesday after- noon in the Lecture Room. Each group has charge of one meeting. In this way each member participates in the c1ub's programme. The programmes are varied, consisting of experiments, illustrated talks and scientific demonstrations. The club is favoured at some meetings by having guest speakers. It has an up-to-date library with the latest scientific books, monthly magazines and digests from which the members may derive valuable information. Another phase of the club's activities is visiting industrial concerns and places of interest. To date in 1938-39 the club has visited the Filtration Plant, the Fuel Re- search Laboratories and Forest Products Laboratories of the Department of Mines Lux GLEBANA and Resources the E. B. Eddy Paper Mills, The Ottawa Dairy, the National Research Council Laboratories and the Ottawa Car Manufacturing Co. Plant. In the near future it expects to visit Beach Foundries, Connor Washers and the Canada Cement Plant. In addition, plans are being worked out for trips to Cornwall and Montreal. To finance these out-of-town trips the Science Club sponsors various activities. This year it has been host to the students at a moving-picture show and has arranged after-noon dances and the annual Science Club Dance. In conclusion it may be stated that the club, which came into existence through the initiative of Mr. Bullock, could not have continued to exist without his splendid support as sponsor. The officers of the executive for the current year 1938-39 are: Sponsor, MR. V. E. BULLOCKQ Assistant Sponsor, R. N.

Sk S4 all The Montreal Trip T 6.30 a.m. of June 8th in a drizzling rain, 65 members of the Science Club ' with undampened spirits, left the Collegiate in two de-luxe buses for Montreal. Lead by our musical assistant-sponsor, Mr. McGregor, and our leather-lunged redoubt- able president, Joss Gordon, we engaged in lusty sing-songs and yells for the greater part of the way. This, no doubt, helped to chase the rain away for the sun was shining brightly long before we reached the first toll-bridge. About 10.30 a.m. at Montreal West a halt was made to re-arrange the gang. Forty boys in charge of Mr. Bullock piled into one bus and visited the nearby Con- sumers' Glass Factory, while all the girls and some boys along with Mr. McGregor proceeded almost across the city to the Fry-Cadbury Chocolate plant. Both parties were very courteously re- ceived and the various processes shown and explained in detail. The boys saw bottles of all sizes and shapes made. Theytraced the procedure through fromithe raw Ingred- ients of broken glass, special sand, borax, etc., to the great gas-fired furnaces from which the molten glass flows out Intog the blowing moulds. From these the red-hot bottles were carried away on huge moving Lux GLEBANA Page 59 belts, to be cooled, sorted and packed for shipping. It was one of the most interesting processes the Club has ever seen. The girls, too, had an interesting time seeing all types and forms of chocolate and cocoa prepared. As a very acceptable finish each student was given a bag of chocolate samples and a refreshing drink of hot chocolate. Both parties arrived at the Queen's Hotel at 1 p.m. Here they all had dinner together in a private dining-room. The food was excellent and plentiful, and how they ate! Everybody then had a good rest in rooms specially placed at our disposal by the generous hotel management. At 2.30 p.m. we set out on a sight-seeing tour of the city under the direction of two very witty Irish guides. The buses took us right up the mountain to the Westmount Lookout where a wonderful panorama of city, river, land and distant mountains is spread out to view. Other places visited included Brother Andre's famous Shrine, Notre Dame Cath- edral, various parks, and finally the docks where we were shown through the C. P. R. liner, The Duchess of Richmond. We were then allowed two free hours to window-shop and get our own supper Where we wished. By 6.30 we were all rounded up and on board the buses ready for the trip home. At Hawkesbury we stopped for fifteen minutes, and certainly livened up the town. We arrived back at the Collegiate about 11 p.m. after just about the biggest and best day of our lives-a very appropriate Grand Finale to our Science Club year. We are very grateful to our Club sponsor, Mr. Bullock, who arranged all the details ofhthe trip-and there wasn't a hitch any- w ere. The Perth Trip N SATURDAY, May 4, Mr. Bullock and about forty Science Club mem- bers boarded a large O. E. R. coach and headed for Perth, on the Club's first outside trip of the year. We reached our destination about 10.00 a.m. and after making arrangements for dinner at the Perth Hotel, proceeded to the factory of the Perth Shoe Company. There the oflicials divided us into groups, and 'the efficient guide assigned to each group showed us the manufacture of women's shoes from the designing-room to the finished product. The factory is a large one and we were in- formed that there were more than 11,000 pairs of shoes in the process of manufacture. We then walked a short distance to the J ergen-Woodbury plant, where soaps, creams and cosmetics are manufactured. Here the head chemist showed us the plant in its entirety, the girls being especially interested. Most of us managed to procure samples of the various soaps as we went along. ' The next stop was the Perth Hotel, where we were served an excellent meal, followed by a few impromptu speeches from Club members. After dinner we had an hour and a half to do as we pleased and the majority took this opportunity to see the town. About 4.30 p.m. we re-assembled at the Perth Hotel and returned to Ottawa feeling we had had a very worthwhile and enjoyable trip. . - Pk wk Pk When I feel like exercising, I just lie down 'till the feeling goes away.

SONLEY, B.A. HE MEMBERS of the Hall of Fame are chosen each year by the Heads of the Departments. They represent the most outstanding students in the various departments of school activity so that it is no small honour to be chosen a member. All students are eligible, but fifth formers are usually chosen, since no student may be elected twice and it is felt that they would prefer being chosen in their graduating year. GORDON BEATTIE: Gordie stands out as Number One Glebite this year: he was elected Head-Boy for 1938- 39 by the student body. He was picked as outside wing in Senior Interscholastic Rugby. Gord is a member of the Hockey Team and a tennis and skiing enthusiast as well. He was awarded the first Collegiate Council prize for general proficiency last year, and intends to continue his academic Work next September at Toronto Varsity. Good luck, Gord. RICHARD STUART: Dick is versatile: he, too, played outside wing with the Seniors this year and is actively interested in hockey and skiing. He is a first-class honour student and his special ability in mathematics makes the world seem brighter for Mr. Sonley. Dick will be back with us next year. FRANCES PARKER: Frances is one of Glebe's intelligentsia, being especially talanted in English. In this capacity she is an assistant editor of this year's Lux. She plans to take her fifth form in one year and continue her studies with a Fine Arts course at Varsity next year. DONALDA CAMPBELL! If the President of the Girls' A. A. can be regarded as the most popular girl in the school, this honour for 1939 goes to Donnie. She is, in addition, a star on the Senior Basketball team. A good student, she is looking forward to Queen's next year. LUX GLEBANA NEIL MACDONALD: When Neil leaves Glebe next year many organizations will miss his initiative. He has done executive work in almost every club in the school and has shown therein originality as well as conscientious respon- sibility. Neil is the representative of the musical organizations on the Collegiate Council this year. KEITH SCOBIE: In Captain Keith all the hope was placed for the hopeless Junior Rugby team, and rightly so, for he was chosen all-star flying wing in the interscholastic loop. Keith plays basketball and hockey as well, yet finds time to attain honour standing in school work. Keith will be with us one more year, before he follows in his father's footsteps studying medicine at McGill. PEGGY TURNBULL: Margaret QPeggy, to her friendsj came into the fifth this year with the Hrst Col- legiate Council General Proficiency prize for girls. Here she has not only continued her good work along academic lines, but has also been active in extra-curricular activities. Possessed of a likeable personality, she will be missed..,by,,her many friends when she leaves in September for Toronto Varsity. visit me COLLEGE snor in the LAURA THOMAS BEAUTY SALON 151 Sparks St. SHAMPOO and FINGERWAVE 500.

An innovation of the Club this year has been the start of Camera Excursions. On two Saturdays last fall the Club got to- gether and went off ostensibly to take pictures. The first time we went only as far as the Experimental Farm and there the newer members of the Club were initiated into the art of using the Club Cameras. Although no masterpieces were turned out as a result of this jaunt the Club members felt it was well worth while. The next trip we took was up to Farmer's Rapids on the east side of the Gatineau River. Here one could point his camera in almost any direction and get a passable picture. We went around a good part of the grounds of the Priests' College and se- cured many good landscape scenes. Later we went through the Gatineau Power Company's plant at Farmer's Rapids and the more mechanically minded members of the Club had a chance to photograph any amount of mechanism. Some really good pictures were procured as a result of this expedition. More Camera Excursions are being planned for the spring and, if they are as Well received as the fall excursions, we will indeed be fortunate.

GLASSF ORD This Year in Girls' Athletics Another year's events have been recorded in the pages of Glebe's history,-a history of which every Glebite might well be proud. The particular aspect in which we are espec- ially interested at this point is that of Girls' Athletics. School magazines preceding this one fairly glow with shining accounts of her prowess in various branches of sports. This year merely forges another link in the chain of Glebe's achievements. Looking back over the incidents of the past year, we see that Glebe girls continued to uphold the high standards set by their predecessors. Once more both Junior and Senior basketball teams gained top-rating in the City League. For the fourth year the girls' Track Team won the Capitol Theatre Trophy, the City Interscholastic Tennis Tournament was again won by the Glebe girls. Inter-form competition in softball, swim- ming, volleyball and basketball was as stiff as ever, and the girls .showed a great im- provement in class games. ' Glebe Collegiate offers excellent facilities for all athletic girls. Ample opportunity is afforded them to take part in many different sports. We have a fine swimming pool which is not used as much as it might be. However, the inconvenience of coming to class with Wet hair is realized, and it is hoped that hair dryers may be installed in the near future. Miss Norris, Miss Laidlaw and Mr. Keill deserve a great deal of credit for their un- failing patience and excellent advice. This trio very unselfishly gave of their time and talent towards moulding the champions of our teams. The Girls' Athletic Association was more ambitious than ever this year. They catered for the At Home and helped to decorate and make favours for the Football Dance. An experiment is being tried out by selling attractive navy blue sweat-shirts with yellow Page '74 school crests on them. If the experiment proves successful, the Association will pro- bably branch out into other lines. A large number of Athletic tickets were sold this season but there is always room for im- provement in sales. The girls are strongly urged to support this important part of girls' athletics-the sale of athletic tickets.

Softball, Badminton and Swimming In spite of the wet weather which pre- vailed during the spring of last year, the softball schedule was completed. It was necessary to play some of the games at noon and the girls were almost forced to play on Saturdays. Gypsy Fleming's 4D- 3D team, champions of the Upper Forms, defeated Form ZE, captained by Helen Patrick, to win the school championship. The badminton tournament was enthus- iastically followed by all girls who took part Lux GLEBANA in it. The quality of badminton played was very good. Last year the Senior and Junior Singles were won by Diana Lyon and Eileen Narraway respectively. June Mc- Cann and Marion Rankin won the Senior Doubles, while Betty Sharpe and Pat Page captured the Junior Doubles. Cups were presented to these girls for their excellent performances. The 1938 Swimming Meet was rather poorly attended. However, the competitors showed fine form and speed. Lorna Under- wood won three Junior events to take the championship. Janet Williamson won the 2-lengths brest stroke. Sheila Cole's very graceful diving earned her the award for the plain dive. In the Seniors, Margaret Bowler and Sheila Cole each won two events. The winning form relays and captains were: Grade IX-9A SYLVIA CRAWLEY Form II Sz III 3E PHYLLIS CRAWLEY .Form IV Sz V -4G EVELYN WELLWOOD Tennis and Volleyball Once again the Glebe team was victorious in the City Interscholastic Tennis Tourna- ment held last Autumn. The first team played against was Elmwood, which went down to a straight defeat. The first three players won their singles' matchesg therefore no doubles had to be played. In the finals Glebe met Commerce. to win in straight sets. The players on the team are chosen by means of an elimination tournament and the members of the teams compete among themselves for their positions on the team. The team consisted of the following: CID Dorothy Greene Q25 Katharine Drayton C31 Elizabeth Drayton C43 Frances Lyon C55 Sonia Swift This year the Upper Form volleyball teams were divided into three groups: A, B, and C. In the first group Jean Car- michael's 4C-V team was victorious, Audrey Hancock's 4B-3B team took first place in group B, while form 3G captained by Cath- arine McMillan came out on top in group C. Grade IX and X champions were IX-C and X-F, captained by Shirley Austin and Mavis Glossop respectively. At the time of writing, the school champions had not been decided.

They bowed in defeat to the strong Kingston High School team. There were only three teams com- peting this year in the E. O. S. S. A. finals -K. C. V. I., Smith Falls and Glebe. Donalda Campbell, captain of this year's Senior team, was the high scorer in the Kingston-Glebe game, netting 12 out of 15 points. After the games, the victorious K. C. V. I. team gave a supper for the competing teams at which the captain of each team made a speech of thanks. After the supper the girls left for home. The trip to Kingston was a most enjoyable event for all the girls of the team. Inter-form basketball was delayed be- cause of the 'flu epidemic. The girls continued to display a great interest in the game and gained invaluable experience by refereeing the games themselves. the door they moved. With a start, Mary- belle felt herself stopped by the railing of the balcony. The ghost stopped, lingered for a moment, drew back, and then sprang forward with a powerful lunge as though to push the poor girl over the railing. Providence, or fortune,-call it what you may-but some will-power greater than her own drew her aside at that critical moment and the phantom vanished over the top. The spell was broken, Mary-belle began to laugh and cry all in a breath. In this hysterical state, she was found by her parents who endeavoured to calm her. They explained it as being a bad dream, a nightmare, and nothing more. To her, however, it was as real as life itself. To this day she is certain that her ex- perience was an actual one. If it were merely a fancy of the mind, how did she come to be out on the upstairs balcony? When the old folks gather together, they never tire of hearing her story again and again, and when it is over, they will nod their heads and say, you know, there might be something to that.

However, the weatherman underwent a change of heart and the competition was held as planned.

MCCALLUM Headlines GLEBE IN 1-1 DRAW WITH TECH Surging from behind in the last thirty seconds and taking advantage of two suc- cessive penalties after the regulation time was up, Glebe Seniors earned a 1-1 tie with the highly-rated Tech. Seniors in the opening game of the Ottawa Interscholastic Football League. As the whistle went to end the game, Tech were penalized 25 yards for illegal charging and Glebe moved in to the Tech 20 yard line for the final play. McCullagh's kick was quickly returned by Tech but a no-yard ruling was called and Glebe cap- italized on this second chance to boot a touch-in-goal from 10 yards out for the tying point. GLEBE SENIORS BOW TO ST. PATS. A fighting Glebe team, greatly weakened when Gordie McCullagh was forced out of the game in the early minutes, battled like Trojans for three quarters, but, as the game drew to a close, faltered under the superior ball-handling of the St. Pat's team and took a 16-0 trimming. The tackling on both sides was hard and injuries were frequent. In the last quarter, taking swift advantage of Glebe's mistakes, the Celts chalked up two major scores to completely spike Glebe's finishing drive and emerge victorious. GLEBE BLANK U. OF O. With a spectacular display of power the blue and gold seniors routed Ottawa Uni- versity 25-O and moved into the thick of the playoff race. In less than 3 minutes after the opening whistle, Glebe were leading 6-0 and from then on they rolled over the opposition in impressive style. In the last quarter, al- ready leading 15-0, Glebe really went into high gear. Keith McCaffrey went through for a touch and shortly after Dick Stewart rified a 35-yard goal-line pass to Gord Beattie for the last major score of the game. GLEBE SCORES THRILLING FOURTH QUARTER WIN OVER LISGAR Glebe Seniors, coming from behind on Dick Stewart's touchdown dash in the final LUX GLEBANA quarter, defeated Lisgar Collegiate at V ar- sity Oval, 10-6. Off to a 3-0 lead in the first quarter, the Glebe team appeared headed for an easy triumph but the Lisgarites fought back strongly and climaxed their drive by scoring a touchdown in the third quarter. Gordie McCullagh's kicking gave Glebe an edge in the final session and when Lisgar's low kick, from deep in their own territory, bounded into Dick Stewart's arms, he was across the line before Lisgar tacklers could bring him down. Bev. Malette added the extra point from placement and McCullagh booted a 'single to the deadline as the game ended. YELLOW AND BLUE TRIM TECH 10-0 Flashing the same power that has carried them to 7 City Football Championships since 1927, Glebe seniors flattened Tech with a decisive 10-1 victory. Mr. Camp- bell's well-drilled-trugby machine dominated the play from the outset. In the first quarter Bev. Malette fired a 15-yard forward pass to Don Graham who took the ball in his stride and evading the Tech secondary ran 35 yards for the first touch. Later in the same quarter, Malette again elected to pass, this time to Gordie Beattie who raced in from left outside, took the ball on the run and flicked it to Mc- Cullagh as the latter charged out of the Glebe backfield and around the right end for a tremendous gain. This fiea-flicker play left Tech bewildered and they had not recovered when Johnny Fripp raced across their line on a double reverse. Glebe held on to their nine-point margin throughout the second and third quarters and their well-trained pass-defence stopped Tech's wild fourth-quarter aerial barrage. This victory assured another bitter Glebe-St. Pat's senior final. . Compliments of 'R. A.

Stunned by St. Pat's converted touchdown on the first play of the game, the Cambell-coached squad fought back savagely to take command for the rest of the game. Gordie McCullagh started Glebe's come- back drive by kicking three singles. Then Don Graham dropped on a St. Pat's fumble to pave the way for Glebe's first major score-a touchdowm pass from Malette to Graham. In the third quarter Jack Hare capitalized on a St. Pat's fumble to run thirty yards for a second touchdown. Al- though Malette's convert pass was ground- ed, the South Siders were ahead 13-6. They protected their lead through the rest of the third period, continued to outplay the opposition and early in the final session McCullagh kicked another single for the last point. GLEBE CAPTURES E.O.S.S.A. TITLE Playing in a veritable swamp, with players of both teams plastered under a blanket of mud and rain, Glebe seniors eked out a 4-3 victory over Kingston C. V. I. in the E.O. S.S.A. finals at Richardson Stadium, King- ston. A Despite excusable fumbling it was a hard, bitter battle and until the 4th quarter it looked as though Kingston would be vic- torious. Then the big Glebe team started to roll. Behind the smashing-line plunges of Heggtveit, Kenney and Malette, Glebe moved in close .to enable McCullagh to kick the equalizer. Later Glebe again moved into scoring position and McCullagh came through with a kick to the deadline-the winning point and Glebe's fifth E.O.S.S.A. Championship. Junior FootbaII HE RECORD of the Juniors was somewhat- below the standard of other years. The team did not seem to have the ability to capitalize on the opportunities that were presented. They never stopped trying, however, and their determination to win was clearly demon- strated by a decisive victory over Ottawa University. The league title was ultimately won by -St. Patrick's College to whom the players extend their congratulations. The whole team worked hard but special mention must go to Captain Keith Scobie, at flying wing, who bore the brunt of the burden all season. Barnhart, Dervin, Lewis and Davidson also deserve credit for their stellar playing. The members of the team take this op- portunity of acknowledging Mr. Callan's untiring efforts on their behalf.

A. competition held in the Glebe audi- torium both the Junio1's: Pavely, Norris, Keenan and Montgomery, and the Seniors: F. Heggtveit, Tetu, Crichton and Yuill, were victorious. Bill Pavely, the individual Junior Champ- ion, was first on the horse, mats, parallel bars and high bar, in making a clean sweep of every event. Francis Heggtveit was Senior champion on the mats, parallel bars and high bar and Doug Tetu captured the Senior Champ- ionship on the horse. Nosed out by Windsor High School, the Glebe team, which Mr. Mix took to the O. S. S. A. meet in Toronto, were forced to take second place. B. Pavely, D. Tetu, D. Crichton and F. Heggtveit, the members of this team, deserve credit for their out- standing performances. Heggtveit rates spec- ial mention for capturing second place in the individual honours for the province. At the annual Glebe concert held in Feb- ruary, the ''Parallelaboys''-Richardson, LUX GLEBANA Pavely, Norris, Guerin, Corrigall, Mont- gomery, Kaiser, McGill, Buchanan, Keenan, Heath and Shore-gave a highly entertain- ing performance on the parallel bars. The boys of the Gym team are particularly appreciative of Mr. Mix and Mr. MacNeil for having sacrificed so much time and energy in giving instructions. FRANK E.

AULT Secretary-Treaswrerr D. GRAHAM HIS YEAR the Glebe Ski Club en- joyed one of its best years. Fine weather conditions prevailed through- out the winter months and the Glebe skiers demonstrated their superior speed and skill in all their races. At Camp Fortune, the second Week in January, a difficult iive-mile cross-country course was run to determine the personnel of the teams. Eugene Heggtveit, Dave Price, John Fripp and Norris Hunt, by finishing in that order earned a place on Glebe's number one team for the season. On January twenty-seventh, Glebe en- tered four teams in the Southam Trophy race. The first team of Heggtveit, Price Fripp and Hunt won the race and the second team consisting of Ault, Mears, Code and Rettie finished second. Individ- LUX GLEBANA ual honours went to Eugene Heggtveit who covered the five-mile course three minutes ahead of his nearest rival, Dave Price. The following week at Skiskule the Glebe number one team recaptured the Frank E. Ault Trophy. Johnny Fripp defeated seven- ty other contestants to Win the giant slalom race and help bring another cup to Glebe. On the eleventh of February a Glebe team consisting of Fripp, Mears, Code, Rettie and Price retained the Dr. Baird Trophy. In winning the race Johnny Fripp established a new record on the Cote du Nord with the astonishing time of one minute and seven seconds. Under the auspices of the Cliffside Ski Club, the Kirby and Gray Trophy races were held at Skiskule on February eighteenth. By nosing out a strong Ottawa Technical School aggregation, the Glebe team of Price, Mears, Rettie, Hunt, and Acton captured the Kirby Cup. The individual Gray cup went to Dave Price Who must be congratulated for his exceptionally fast time over the gruelling three and a half mile course. Due to an epidemic of the 'fiu, the fifth annual Inter-City Interscholastic compet- ition had to be postponed. Page 97' Edited by H. WILLIS H . H A L L I Don't Want to be a Teacher There are many things to do in life A-glitter with romance, A thousand things for me to do If I could get the chance. Oh I could don a pair of tights And rent a cobra snake To twirl and swirl about my feet -Oh, what a pair we'd make! Or I could take up dancing, The high-falutin' kind, Clad in Grecian costume With ribbons down behind I could maybe take up acting, And against the public's jeers I would wail and groan and gnash my teeth And drown the stage in tears. I could study medicine And know the different ills, I could operate on spare ribs And dole out liver pills. I could study art and draw Long and drooping noses, And pictures of the human form In odd and grotesque poses. Or maybe I could write a book Of murders dark and gory, -Of death beneath the butcher's bed 'Twould make a lovely story! I could be a siren too, With a list of torrid lovers And write my love-life in a book With flaming scarlet covers. I could even be a garbage-girl And cast off social fetters To go through all the garbage cans And piece up all the letters There are many lovely things to do Each with a tempting feature But one thing I can say that's sure I'll never 'never be a teacher! HATTIE HALL-5C. Page 98 Thoughts Before the Latin Authors Exam Give me a garland, Put it on my head, Deck me with sweet flowers As one who shall be dead, Forth upon the morrow A sacrifice I'm led To suffer at the altar of teachers who must know What I have learned, what I do know, a What they already know. On that dreaded morning A gloomy day 'twill be, The sky will have bad omens, And heads ache bitterly And Virgil shall turn in his grave In far-off Italyg s His gems are at the altar of teachers who must know What I have learned, what I do know, What they already know. An innocent indicative With false names I shall heap O Aeneas, and Dumnorix In peace you shall not sleep. And from his place in Heaven's vault Brave Julius shall weep His works die at the altar of teachers who must know What I have learned, what I do know, What they already know. But should I do well, What glory shall be mine! What lovely marks await me From the teacher's pencil line!

Of course it's fun the way they make us walk around the room, and take our seats according to the way we took them every other day. But after all, we did that when we were in Kindergarten! Then, we might, perhaps, write out our long-for- gotten homework. But that's wrong! To study in the study! Why, that's one thing you and I, -the favoured Fifth-would never dare!

One was a morning exercise, the other was the recipe. This is what he wrote down. Hands on hips, place one cup of flour on the shoulders, raise knees and depress toes and mix thoroughly in one cup of sour milk. Repeat six times. Inhale quickly one half teaspoonful of baking soda, lower legs and mash two boiled eggs in a seive. Exhale, breathe naturally and sift into a bowl. Attention! Lie flat on the floor and roll the white of an egg backwards and forwards until it comes to the boil. In five minutes remove from heat and rub smartly Page 1 02 ' with a rou h towel.

I, am only a first- former and I am possessed with a mad obsession. I yearn to stroke a Fifth-Form Boy's hair. Every day I wait for him to pass. His hair is so beautifully waved and alluringly dampened I can't resist it. What shall I do? He is so superior. YEARNING. Dear Yearning: You must try to control your mania. Try laying out spaghetti in a reasonable facsimile and stroke it tenderly. If this does not work, wait in a dark corner on top of a step ladder and with a special dispensation from Heaven you may be able to reach his lofty brow.
