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.

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
