I. which is vital and inspiring. Our past history, though unrecord- ed in any Year Book, is written in human lives all over the world-lives which are working out the thing as they see it, -and in that immortail poem, In Flander's Fields, which has glorified forever the old school - the Alma Mater of its author. The great books and poems and music are not all Written, the great deeds are not all accomplished. Im- portant discoveries and inventions lie waiting behind the locked door whose golden key is Work Canada waits T YDR. MACKINNON N EDITH B.

ROSS, M For the Hrst time Acta Nostra appears before the public, and it Will, we hope, meet with the appreciation and interest that it merits. It represents untiring zeal and energy on the part of the editorial staff, aided by Miss Sinclair and Mr. Dixon. To them is due a deep sense of gratitude. Also to those who assist- ed financially or otherwise. While looking over some of the proofs the thought came to me: Are some of these young writers and editors the writers in em- bryo ofthe future. VVill the time come when we shall poin-t with lnuch pride to some of these signatures? It has been sa.id that min- isters and teachers will receive their reward in Heaven. But. speaking from the standpoint of the teachers I think I may say that there is, aside from the monetary consideration. a cer- tain compensation in teaching in the subse- quent success of our scholars since in a school such as ours we have our future citizens. All will, I hope, be successful. and I conddently ex- pect that we shall give to the world our quota of writers. orators, outstanding surgeons. men of law, statesmen who will help in building up the country. If we teachers can think that we have. in any slight measure been successful in cultivating the seeds of future success in our pupils, there is in this thought a compensation for many of the trials and perplexities of teaching. I know with what keen plea- sure and interest my esteemed predecessor, Mr. Davison, follows the career of his ex-pupils. and what an enviable richness this has added to his life. As my teaching experience has been limited to some twelve years I have not as yet been able to contemplate tl1e ultimate achievements of my former pupils. But many I have seen launching out on the sea of life in a manner that bespoke an eventful voyage. One conclusion I have formed from observation of former students and their subsequent careers is that it is not always the most brilliant student who develops into the most successful man or woman. I.t is very often the student who has to apply himself earnestly, learning thereby lessons of perseverance. punctuality. and assiduiity. who ultimately forges to the front, while the more brilliant scholar to whom all things come easily will fall by the wayside. These years of secondary training are the formative period in the character building of our students. Upon the habits and tastes formed at this time depend their future success and happiness. But not alone upon success in their chosen career depends their ultimate happiness. It should not be forgotten that our young people are also prepar- ing for future leisure. No one expects to work all the time, and the mind well stored with interesting knowledge, is always going to find entertainment in times of leisure. The man or woman with such a mind does not need to go abroad for entertainment. The entertainment of such a student is self-cont-ained. 12 ACTA NOSTRA, 1926 JTTMYXX. .

Some helped very much: others did not do quite so muchg but it goes Without say- ing that this paper would have been a miserable failure if the school at large had not stood behind the venture. Is the paper a success? We should say it is. And this success is due largely to the great school spirit that has come to reside within our halls. More especially recognition is due to Miss E. Sinclair and Mr. Dixon, who were ably assisted by our energetic Editor, Milton Watson. Of Miss Sinclair, the founder of our paper, nothing more can be said to heighten her in the affections of the students. To Mr. Dixon is due the pictorial supremacy of Acta Nostra, and it is to Mr. Dixon's untiring efforts that the obstacles that have come in Acta Nostra's path have been so cleverly overcome. DONALD DAVISON, Editor. Qi Our Name and Its Origin CBy Fred w. Dixonl Since this is our first publication a few words regarding the name Acta Nostra fLatin, Our Doingsul will not be -amiss. Picture in your mind the room on the west side of the building, adja- cent to the stage. It is a small room with ceiling probably twenty-five feet in height. One lone electric light at a rather high altitude sends forth its feeble glow. Only a few straggling rays of outside light penetrate through the glass panel in the door. The room is dlismal. Here, however, the mind has no distractions-outside sounds do not penetrate-a veritable silence of the tomb prevails except for a slight reverberation of sound between the high walls. Here mental concentration is a p-ossibility. Sitting around a small ta.ble or pacing the floor, the committee may be seen. Their appearance is ordinarily one of serious contemplation as suits their task, but at times a wistful smile breaks over one of the faces as if to say: Eureka! I have found it. Shall this be the chosen name? This suggestion is then marked down for further discussion. Numerous lexicons and reference books of Latin, French and Greek are strewn over the table and are referred to continually. ACTA NOSTRA, 1926 13 As an incentive to the necessary profound meditation, some of the Com- mittee can be seen indulging in the products of onie Mr. Wrigley, whose fame is nation wide, and whose products have been the cause of considerable chew- ing in the world. Dis-card-ed papers are strewn on the iioor. Wrinkled brows are much in evidence, and from the appearance of abject despair on some of the faces it might seem as if a jury were deciding the fate of a criminal. It is. however, only the committee at work who are trying to decide upon the name for the G. C.-V. I. Year Book. The choosing of a name for a school publication is a task which, from a superficial glance, might appear very easy. So many names are used now in publications that it behooves us. in selecting a new one. to be at. least o1'iginal. Our task, then, was to select a name which in some measure would indicate the purpose of the Year Book-would be simple and catchy. incap- able of much mispronunciation. and acceptable to the majority. For some reason or other English names did not seem to meet with very much approval. Several French names were submitted, which were short and catchy, but liable to mispronunciation, and we did not wish to feel morally responsible for any possible corruption of the French tongue. Some Latin names were either second hand or did not carry much appeal with them, but when Acta Nostra was suggested each one of the committee grasped at it ea.gerly. Some may say that, having pondered so long and laboriously, we were mentally fatigued and so incapacitated for using our best judgment. Probably so-however, the name has continued to grow steadily in popularity and has made many friends. Our hope is that we may be vindicated by posterity-that Acta Nostra may be perpetuated and live as a dear remem- brance in the hearts of future students so that all may look back with fond 1'eminiscences upon their Alma Mater and be linked to her more strongly even in those years when we of 1926 shall have become part of the dim distant past. , .N l ?

Acta Nostra extends to you a hearty welcome. To the students who have returned to their studies, there are many pleasant friendships and associations to be renewed and continued in the future. Collegiate life with its many joyous incidents and happy days holds before you a glorious time in which much can be accomplished. May it be for all a successful term. To the new-comers much has already been said, and will be said, by practically every speaking element of Collegiate life. particularly by the teach- ers. The young student suddenly transplanted to rather a new environment. in a different atmosphere, and with changed surroundings, sometimes loses sight of the principal reason for which he comes to the G. C.-V. I. While it is well that all students should take an active and intelligent interest in the various Collegiate activities. he should remember that it is for a deiinite purpose that he attends a Collegiate Institute and that to acquit himself well in his stud- ies should. after all. be his highest aim. EDITH MAHONEY. HSandH When I was quite young I remember paddling along the beach writ- ing my name in large letters upon the sand, and .then watching them being erased by the waves. How absolutely they had disappeared: not a sign was left! But one day when I had become older, I went to where 9, rocky head- land jutted out into the sea defying the elements and here on a fallen portion of the cliff I saw deep in solid rock the name of a man. This hardy adventur- er had no doubt left this world. for the date told of many years before. The name was not as finely cut as it had been, but yet the letters were dis- tinctly visible although a thousand storms had blown and millions of waves beaten upon it. How many of us are going to walk along the shore writing our names in sand with whatever instrument is handy? The waves of time are even more destructive of slight structure and half-hearted efforts than are the sea waves. Thousands are to-day spending their strength and times writing their names in sand. imagining that whatever has happened to other names. theirs will survive or be beyond the sea's reach. But they are doomed to disappointment. How different is the case of the person who carves his name in solid rock at the cliff's base. He had to walk a long way and over a rough track be- fore he reached the spot where his name was carved. He may have had to wait many days for suitable conditions. But he overcame all difficulties. And there was his name many years later plain to see. easy to read, and a parable of life, saying to all who looked upon it, If you would make a lasting name. do not write it upon sand. but carve it deep in hard rock. The shore is before us. we may write our names where we please. Every day, made up of many deeds, is a letter inscribed either on sand or carved upon rock. He who lives from day to day, having no goal, possessing no set desire, is certainly writing upon sand. and when the wave has passed no trace of his works will be found. But he who is carving his career, aiming at some worthy goal, making each day and deed contribute -to the same end, is carving his name on rock and the letters of his name will remain for the waves of oblivion can not erase them.

Dixon. 18 ACTA NOSTRA, 1926 lVlcCrae Scholarship MISS ELSIE MASSON entered the Colleg- iate Institute in September, 1920, and during her five years of secondary training always ranked first or second in her class. In June, 1925, she did honour to herself and the school when she won the John McCrae Scholarship, one of the most lucrative of all Scholarships. This Scholarship was founded in honor of the late Colonel John McCrae, physician, soldier and poet. and, while the intention of the founder of the Scholarship was that its recip- ient should be a boy, in the case of Miss Masson a special concession was made and for the iirst time since its founding, the Scholar- ship, to the value of EBLIOO, was awarded to a girl. Besides winning this Scholarship, Miss Masson won the Moses Henry Aiken Scholar- ship in General Proficiency, awarded by Vic- toria College, and carrying with it a monetary value of 513400. We have every reason to be- lieve that Miss Masson's career at the Univer- sity, which has had such an auspicious be- G lp 6. ginning, will culminate in a future career that energwoorgo Clancy will bring honour to herself and the G.C.-V.I.

Starting at the left of the back row we come first to HAROLD METCALFE. Metty first served with the green and white senior team in 1922 and 1923. when he was a spare. In 1924 he was a full-fledged quarterback, which posi- tion he filled this year. Possessing a strong, clear voice and a. quick work- ing brain, Metty was an ideal director of plays. He also carried the ball well in tight corners, and his vicious tack- ling made him very effective on the secondary defense. Next on the pro- gram is ERNEST BERNER. This year was Ponzi's first appearance on the senior team. He did valiantly as a spare outside wing, having the art of the shoe-string tackle down to a science. WILFRED ZIEMAN. Back in the autumn of 1921 the Count got a job at right middle, a position I. Rugby Squad which he has managed to hang on to up until now. THEODORE SIMPSON started his senior football career in 1924. Another football season has passed. and Simp's sensational tackles have become super-sensational. Hello! XVhat have we here? None other than AUBREY DOYLE, the far-famed line plunger. Aub. started in as assistant left middle in 1923, and has held that position permanently since then. He is a deadly tackle, making the left wing practically impregnable. On the ex- treme right of the rear row is HAROLD JEFFRIES. Jeff is an old Guelph boy, but spent a few years at Trinity Col- lege, where he became a rugby player of wide renown. At outside wing his speed, skill and tackling were sensa- tional. Over on the left of the middle row we find ROBERT LAING. Bob assisted for the first time last year. This year he played right wing, and 22 ACTA NOSTRA, 19.26 played it well. And now comes LIN- COLN BROHMAN, the speedy sure- catch of the half line. Idy entered in 1922. In 1923 his sure 'tackling earned him a place at outside, since then he has played in the backfield. His girlish run disguises amazing speed, which, together with a dirty straight-arm. makes him a superb open field runner. Last year Western Uni- versity coveted his services. but Idy if headed elsewhere. GORDON DOYLE. Aubrey's little brother, played his first senior rugby this year. Gord has spilled more than one buck. On the offensive he made good use of his weight, plowing through for yards a goodly number of times. ELTON WALKER. Tubby has assisted the wing line since 19723. and this year played right inside. The opposition found it a technical impossibility to make interference through Tubby and a. painful experience to stop him once he started rolling toward their goal-line. DONALD HEVVER. Don was a star on the second -team for the past few years and assisted the senior half line, both last year and this. Being a fast man on an end run a11d also ef- fective on the secondary defence he will make a good nucleus for next season's half line. FRED MCTAGUE thought he was in a moving picture. As the camera was not of the motion- picture type Bus's handsome face was omitted. A rugby player of abil- ity: and while this was his first ap- pearance on the gridiron, he played snap as it should be played. He is also able to perform the difficult feat of drop-kicking. The next gentleman if KENNETH ATCHESON. who besides being the original answer to a maiden's prayer, is a bright and shining light. Away back in '22 his never-failing toe earned him the position of centre half which he still holds. Besides being a consistent hoofer of the pig-skin he is a broken field runner who has no equal. Next MICHAEL VALERIOTE. Off the gridiron Mike can do one hundred yards in less than eleven seconds, but on it he cuts his time down to abo-ut half tha-t. Being sitill young he should be an asset to the green and white for the next few years. Mike made his debut in rugby last year and has im- proved rapidly since then. The man in working clothes next 'to M1'. Ross is ROBERT MORTON, who piloted the financial affairs of the team. Next to the popular Principal of the G. C.-Y. I., and behind the coveted silver stein poses GEORGE HULL, captain of the crew. Short learned to play rugby when he was still in swaddling clothes. He commenced with the G. C.-V. I. squad in 1922. as flying wingg since then he has played left-half. He can gain yards both in the open field and -through the scrimmage. As a second- ary defence man he is the last word, and when it comes to punting he can hoof the oval with the best of them. taking Kenny's place when necessary. The fine old gentleman is MR. HAR- OLD KNIGHT. who deserves a great deal of the credit for the successes of the boys. He Hrst coached the team in 1923 when it just missed winning the group. Hats off to Mr. GILDEA! Scotty knows his oats when it comes to putting the boys into condition. WILLIAM PENNYLEGION and REG- INALD FRID were too bashful to have their pictures taken. Penny played snap in 1923 and flying wing in 1924, when his sensational tackling brought him into prolninence. But Pen has a bad habit of getting injured and so usually doesn't last a whole season. He started at flying wing, but was ser- iously injured in the opening encount- er after showing unusual class. Reg. Frid has played on the seconds for a couple of seasons. He has a good build. and with more experience will make a great player. NOTES Dear Teacher:-You must stop teach my Lizzie fisical torture. She needs yet readin' an' figors with sums more as th-at.

I. rugby teams had shed a few bitter tears. put away in moth balls what was left of their more or less aromatic outfits and closed the football season with a bright optimistic, wait till next year. Right toog they were tired of letting their friendly little playmates from the un-dies town gleefully insert them in second place. Accordingly in Septem- ber, 1925, there were many of them who decided that higher education was a fine thing and thus Exhibition Park saw again many familiar faces: faces of those who had managed the pig- skin in days of yore, faces of those who were not bashful in placing a friendly knee in the opponent's tummy. All went well. Under the capable tutorage of Coach Crop Knight and trainer Scottie Gildea. Esquire, the G. C.-V. I. dozen were soon ready to start their stuff. and they did. The first combat of the season was staged in Galt, on Saturday, October 3rd, l925. The whistle blew, the fray was on. everybody was happy. An in- accurate memory forbids your scribe to give a play by play account of the game. Let it sufiice to say that the teams did their best stuff right man- fully. Scoring wa.s done on both sides' at times things looked none too bright for Guelph. but with time the score stood 17-6 in favour of the G. C.-Y. I.. and Galt had been defeated in their own back yard for the first time in six years. Right there and then the boys decided that their serfdom was over and that once more the Hamilton Cup would reside on Paisley Street. There was only one incident to mar the day's fun: Dan' Pennylegion had the auda- city to get himself half killed. thus guaranteeing himself a vaca.tion for the rest of the season. Seven more days had rolled by and now the lads from the telephone town toured to our fair city. All went right merrily. Among other outstanding plays Jetfs tackling made a big hit with the crowd and his little running mate, Simp, got away for a 40 yard romp on an onside kick. Everybody was simply delighted. At half time the score stood 13-2 for the locals and with the final whistle 20-3 had been chalked up. The boys' condition was all that could be desired. Scotty Gildea's jerks having worked wonders with them. Then. October 17th, the squad journeyed to that town famed for its summer sausage and sauer-kraut. Things looked black for a timeg Kitch- ener without a doubt knew their oil. Then oui' little playmate, Michael Val- eriote, toddled through a broken field for a mere fifty yards. This brought the ball close to Kitcl1ener's goal line, and after the boys had put Meddy through his perilous flying-squirrel trick, for a touchdown, Guelph was out of danger. Kitchener at times ap- proached uncomfortably near Guelph's goal line, but the wing line of the green and white held firm as was their custom when in a tight corner. How- ever when the time-keeper played the closing hymn on his whistle the score stood 16-12 with Kitchener second best and thus ended another perfect day. Then came the day of days. On Sat- urday, October 2-ith, their bosom friends from Terriertown paid the local lads the call they owed them. Both teams were out for gore. It rain- ed for the greater part of the game, and consequently the field was treach- erously slippery as likewise was the ball. Both teams before long discov- ered that the pig-skin behaved some- gl-Jn -1 I-lv .L WA 24- ACTA NOSTRA, 1926 what like an elusive cake of wet bath-soap, and the resulting fumbles somewhat marred the game. For three periods the play horned in on no-man's land, but in the closing act Guelph's condition outclassed that of Galt, and the green and white started on a pil- grimage up the field. However, the score s-till remained two all, and time was going fastg then with only two minutes to go Kenny Atcheson hoofed a nice long spiral to the deadline and thus the game was won by one point. The worst was over now. Kitchener was next on the schedule, and if they could be beaten all would be hotsy- totsy. It was. Guelph was never pressed and everybody had ia Chf:LllC8 to show his wares. Hostilities ended wi-th the rather one-sided score of 24-0. lVith this victory the G. C.-V. I. foot- ball team won their group and became Inter-Scholastic Champions, the return game wit.h Brantford being unneces- sary. The coveted Hamilton Cup was Won and now the boys were ready to try the XV. O. S. S. A. Championship. On Saturday, November Sth, Owen Sound. winners of the northern group, were to be tirst honored by 'their presence. After much searching the boys found the playing field, which had been carefully concealed under one of Owen Sounds choicest bogs. In this quagimire did the green and white be- come the brown. Many deeds of val- our were done that day. On one oc- casion Meddy was seen playfully playing gooey mud on an opponent's face, and the star middle wing, Aub Doyle on more than one occasion prov- ed himself a master of the facial clay. much to his sparring partner's distress. At the close of hostili-ties the score stood 22-O, the northern lads having failed to score. Though the green and white went on the field as the terrible twelve. they left it as the dirty dozen. After partaking of a more or less repast, the boys were ready to start for home. On the return journey much harmony prevailed as usual, while Scotty. Dan and numerous others discussed high finance. By the time Q.. Harriston was reached snores drowned the roariof the motor, and as the Guelph post-oflice clock tolled two o'clock the bus rolled up to St. George's Square. Thus ended the OW-en Sound expedition. On the following Monday, which was Thanksgiving Day, the Sounders paid a return visit. A goodly crowd turned out to see the boys do their tricks, but were not impressed as the score was rather one-sided. However, some good rugby was played by both sides. Two pretty field-'goals which were beautifully done by Bus McTague. featured the encounter, while Mike Valeriote tore away for several long gallops, which put the crowd on its toes. Touchdowns were chlalked to Idy, lVlike, Kenny and Aub. With the close of proceedings the final score was 27-2, Guelph having won the round by forty-nine points. The prelimlinaries were now over, the green and white having gone through them without defeat, were now ready to play the rugby moguls of Sarnia. The C. N. R. kindly consented to convey the team to the western town after the required fares were paid. Af- ter a very, very light lunch the men dressed for the game, this took longer than usual due to the bad epidemic of nerves that had attacked them after having gazed upon the weight of their opponents. The bus, which was of the honest-weight type, provided ra pleas- ant trip to the playing field, which lay in a region of oily smells. The field with its broad expanse of water and weed-covered islands, resembled Pus- linch Lake more than any other body of water the writer has yet seen. The line-up was as formerly, though Dan Pennylegion, on the sub bench. thought his injuries were sutiiciently healed to permit him to get into the fray again. The play shifted from one end of the Held to the other. Guelph lost the chance of scoring a point when deep in Sarnia's territory. Kenny got away for nice broken Held runs till the Sarnia wings marked him. Mike was away for a touchdown on two occasions when he was slowed up by the lake which he ACTA NOSTRA, 1926 25 was forced to swim. Mike was injured for the second time, and had to be carried from the field. Don Hewer took Mike's place, and for the remainder of the game showed what a good flying wing Mr. Hewer could be. Cap. Short Hull played his usual heady game as did his running mate. Linc Brohman. and Aub Doyle showed that in line- plunging Guelph had it all over Sarnia. The playing of Simp and Jeff, Gord and Meddy was also without repreach. But in spite of this team of stars the score with the closing whistle was 2-0 with Sarnia owning the better half, and the green and white receiving its Hrst defeat of the season. The boys left the field full of good cheer as they had not yet heard the bad news. This came in time to spoil their delayed meal-Mike had fractured a bone and was out of the game for the season. This was annoying to say the leastg no more would this speedy lad be seen prancing down the field with his pur- suers yards behind. On Sunday morn- ing the team set off again for home. Then, on November 21st, the game with Sarnia in Guelph took place, and what a bad affair it was! With none too much confidence, but with a deter- mination to do or die, the green and white took the field before the largest crowd of the season. Jeff went from outside to take Mike's place at flying wing. and Don Hewer went to outside. Sarnia was strengthened by Carter. star punter, and Munro, of tooted plunging ability. Guelph had unwisely changed their signals, and before long a very sorry mix-up developed. Guelph scored the first point by a kick to the dead line, but soon the tide changed. v Sarnia's line plunging was not to be feared nor was their backfield work. but in Carter, their punter, and their two outsiders. they had a combination which defied all opposition. Guelph would advance up into Sarnia territory only to lose the ball to Sarnia who would hoof it all the way back again. It was enough to break the hearts of any wing-line and the nerves of any backfield. Then things went from bad to worse: the Sarniaites had mark- ed Kenny and soon managed to lay him out of the game with a sprained should- er. After half time the boys went back to their old signalsg Kenny returned to the game but was greatly handicap- ped. Dan Pennylegion went back too, and for the first time since the open- ing game at Galt. his deadly tackles were again seen. Then near the close of the game Guelph was without the services of Meddy who was suffering an enforced rest, and in the resulting miX'up a costly fumble occurred, which permitted Sarnia to get within strik- ing distance of Guelph's goal lineg a touchdown resulted: all was lost. And so ended the most successful season the green and whites had had for many a year. It was hard, one must admit, to be so near the Ontario Championship, and then be beaten by hard luck, and a one man team, but such is rugby. There was much satis- faction, however, in beating their old rivals, Galt, and in going as far as they did, and it is hoped that before long another team carrying the same colors may acquit themselves as well in the finest biggest game that ever was.

I. hockey team excelled it.self this year by capturing the W. O. S. S. A. championship, and retaining the London Free Press trophy for an- other year. At the beginning of the season the outlook appeared blue since four members of the 1924-25 champion- ship team had left the school, however, under the able generalship of Coach Johnny Jones, the remnants of last year's team were linked with some new hockey talent, producing a team of which all Guelph is proud, and which reflects great credit upon the coach. Mr. Johnny Jones. The Guelph team was grouped this year with Galt and Stratford. In the first game, at Galt, the local squad emerged with a 5-2 victory. Galt de- faulted the return game. Stratford came next and playing the first game at home, Guelph won by the score of 5-2. A week later the return game was played in Stratford, and Guelph was againpvictorious to the tune of 3-2. This victory gave the locals the round by a four goal margin, and quali- -fied them to enter against Owen Sound in the semi-finals. The Owen Sound boys provided the fstiffest opposition of the season, and at the Hrst. game, played in the north- land, a tie resulted, 3-3. The return game, witnessed by about live hundred spectators, was one of the most thrill- ing games ever staged on the local arena. With only eight minutes to go, the northerners were leading 2-0. but it was during these eight. minutes that heart-failure was a pleasure for Guelph fans. since, in those minutes, they snatched a 4-3 victory out of what Seemed utter defeat, by their dogged determination to win. In the final games with London the Guelph team completely outclassed -their opponents. and won the round by 13 goals to 4. About eight hundred saw the Guelph game, but there were no thrills dispensed as in the Owen Sound game. The players are certainly to be con- gratulated upon their splendid achieve- ment, both la.st year and this year, in bringing in the W. O. S. S. A. champ- ionship. G.

Bob is la very capable player, an accurate shot and an unselflsh passer. Played a wonderful game against St. Thomas boys, and has guided well the green and white quintette. DONALD HEVVER- Scotty or Don at centre position has play- ed a very consistent game. and is a clever basketeer. Played his best game at Brantford. HARRY HULL- Good things in small parcels. This may explain why Harry was the highest scorer. Chink is a splendid back-checker. and a dead shot. On the St. Thomas court he did deadly execution, shooting with the regularity of clock work and in his season's playing has been a great asset to the G. C.-V. I. aggregation. ROBERT LAING-Along with Geo. Hull, formed the strongest defence in the W. O. S. S. A. League, and they are worthy of great credit. Robert is a third year man-packs a pretty long shot and in rebounds is Johnny on the spot. It was too bad that t'Bobby's friend did not stay for the city league final as Robert played a fine game that evening. GEORGE HULL-A real defence man. His speed and build enable him to make plays With snap and exact- ness. George likes to pick out a blue hat in the crowd! KENNETH ATCHESON - Kenny's clever back-checking and shooting are a feature in any game. He has great speed, is always in condition and plays the game square. He has been known to'linger around Park Avenue. ELMER YOUNG-A newcomer and the youngest of the crew. Played centre and forward.. An.ac-curate long shot, an unselfish passer and at centre Cy knows how to leap to put the ball in the right direction. THEODORE SIMPSON - Another newcomer. Theo has practised faith- fully, and renders valuable assistance. He shows tact and teamed well with Hull and Laing on guard. Simpy can also focus on the long shots. The G. C.-V. I. Basketball Team has this season made a most creditable showing. and incidentally set up a re- cord that future teams will find no easy task to equal-let alone better. The school was extremely fortunate in having all of last year's regulars again in line. and the subs carried were also strong men. XVl1ile the G. C.-V. I. team was conceded a good chance to win the Merritt Cup, emble- matic of the group championship, it was not until after a gruelling series with Kitchener that the honours were finally won for the second year in suc- cession. By the showing made in winning the group, the team looked superior enough to bring home the VV. O. S. S. A. championship. but there were three other strong quintettes with similar as- pirations. St. Marys was the first team to be met in the play-off. The team from the Garden City was a highly- tooted aggregation, yet the green and white were able to hand them a 22-ll trouncing on their own floor. St. Marys demonstrated that they we1'e game to the core. and in the return game in Guelph they played their heads olf in the early stages, and held the locals to a two point lead at half time. Fading in the final session they were outclassed by 11 points, which was the margin on the game. It now seemed that St. Thomas C. I. would be a great stumbling block to Bob Mortonand his stalwarts. since they had a powerful group of cagers. However, the great reputation of the so-called Mighty St. Thomas five took a terrible drop when our boys emerged 11 points up, from the game played night on their own floor. It would be folly. however. to underestimate their ACTA NOSTRA, 1926 30 , If ,QA , ,fi Q .fx f --. K, X 'Q Se. fllf if f' lf .' f J, ' I ' - ' ' 'Zr1b2'f Sit 'Y' I ' -L l Jxffw W N , 5. 'N .

This, however, would not wipe out their deficit, and the locals again emerged triumphant. The team now enjoyed a well-earn- ed rest of one week before entering the finals for the VV.O.S.S.A. champion- ship against Walkerville. It will be remembered that last year it was Wind- sor that put the damper on our champ- ionship aspirations, and it seems that nothing but the very best of teams come from that district. They proved to be the jinx again this year, but not until the local five had written their names in the annals by playing as they had never played before. The fiI'SlL game was played in Guelph, and the G. C.-V. I. boys acquitted themselves admirably when they defeated the machine-like playing of the mighty team from the Border Cities. It seemed that the championship was al-most within their grasp, and the boys were het up and raring to go. They went but it seems that the long trip was too much and their shooting suf- fered in consequence. The score was 29-13, but it doesn't give a fair indica- tion of the play because the boys fought -hard all the time-they gave way to a bet-ter steam and in defeat displayed their sportsmanship when they were the first to congratulate the winners. The team was a great success in every respect, and the school is sin- cerely proud of the splendid showing made by their representatives.

If it had not been for the fumbling on the part of the fielders Guelph would not have been defeated so badly. As it was, the score was 7-1. On account of the bad weather, the final game of the season was played in the Armory, Guelph, November 4th. The visiting team was Kitchener, who carried off the honours of the day with a score of 1-1--if The redeeming fea- ture of the game was the excellent and steady work of our pitcher.

Although they were de- feated 32-25 it was a closer game than the score indicates. Our girls have nothing to be ashamed of in the form of basketball they played. lVhen Brantford visited Guelph on January 15th the girls got away to a flying start, the score at half-time be- ing 6-0 in their favor. Then B. C. I.. by a dazzling display of combination and perfect shooting. particularly on the part of B. Force, Won the game. But for the shining work on guard duty of Helen Bardwell and Maisie Barr there would have been a lnuch larger score than 35-26. Guelph sustained their next defeat at the hands of Galt on their own floor. Again Guelph led at half-time with a score of S-3. In the second half the Inter-Form The Inter-Form Basketball, al- though only newly introduced to the school. proved a decided success. It stimulated rivalry and the increase in enthusiasm in drill periods was re- markable. These games were carried on chiefly among the girls. This acti- vity not only encouraged school spirit but enabled the teachers to pick out new players, who are badly needed. for next years Senior team. The school was divided into four groups: Junior and Senior Collegiate. and Junior and Senior Commercial. The Junior Collegiate Champions, 2B. defeated the Junior Commercial Champions thus carrying away the team absolutely went to pieces. The defence was not up to its usual form and even Elma Earon, the star for- ward, did not play as well as on other occasions. Guelph next visited Brantford, again to lead at half-time, but to go down to final defeat. Even with the spectacular shooting by Guelph's for- wards and the excellent work of the guards they were overcome in the end by a score of 23-14. The last game was perhaps one of the fastest and closest of the season. Although Kitchener, the visiting team led at half-time 13-8, Guelph's condi- tion told in the last half and the lead was closed up. The game was close until the end when Guelph finished the game two points ahead. The whole team played their best and certainly deserved to w-in. The score was 21-19. Basketball Junior Championship of the school. many of their players showed remark- able promise. Keep it up, 2B, and we'll see some of your players on the Senior team next year. Senior Com- mercial, in defeating Form 4, gained the Senior Championship. As this form had three or four regular inter-schol- astic players on their team, the victory was not such a surprise as it might have been under other circumstances. However. even at that, their success was not overwhelming and the other forms put up a good fight. We hope that the interest shown in this sche- dule has warranted a repetition of it in coming years. 36 ACTA NOSTRA, 1926 Ve GS There are two kinds of jokes In he laughed Zlli .Xcta Nostra's and Teacher s.

To found a paper worthy of our school, and writ. ten by and for the pupils, has been an ambition of the Executives of the Lit for several years, but not until this year has such an undertaking been found at all possible.

We are glad to be able to publish the following extracts from a letter received from her: Dear Guelphites.-I shall never forget the two happy years that I spent taking my Senior Matric. in Guelph- one in the old Collegiate and one in the new. I think that most of the members of the staff with whom I came in contact, and who, largely, made my years up there mean so much to me, are still there doing the same for you. Don't forget to appreciate them now! I never thi11k of the Collegiate, of course, without visions of Mr. Davison moving about among us, with his kind. gentle smile, so loved by all, and with him I will always connect what we know as Mr Davison's Scholarship for Geometry. I think five cents was the extent of my gleanings in this line. but I'm pretty proud of even that-for after all it's something-something to remember. It seems to me that I scarcely step anywhere-to a lecture, the rink, a dance, or a theatre-but what I meet or catch sight of someone whom I either knew at the G. C.-V. I. myself, or who I know was once there. There are certainly quite a few of us down here now, but there will never be too many. I would beg you one and all to enjoy your Collegiate days to the utmost, but don't stop there. Your next step should and must be Varsity-yes. and it will beg for after all, what could stop a Guelph Grad. when he has made up his mind to go. I'll say good-bye now, but will be watching for some of you next fall, around the campus, and will be listening for your voices cheer- ing with the Blue and VVhite at t.he stadium. JEAN KENNEDY, LETS Maybe. RALPH PEQUEGNAT, a Grad. of last year, at University of Toronto. who gained much fame in athletic circles there, is another ex-student whom we are proud to claim. Ralph is always ready to give our rugby boys t.he value of his experience when he is in town. At present his headquarters are at Port Elgin, and he is travelling for the Stevens. Hepner Co. FRANCES MCHUGH. now of New York, is another ex-student who has attained fame in a different .sphere- that of the stage. By her talent and hard work she has become noted as Sally Doran in Broadway theatres. FRANCES LAMBTON. who obtained ten first-class honours in last year's Honour Matric. Exam., is working for the Callendar Foundry Co. 42 ACTA NOSTRA, 1926 GRANT WESTOBY is now employed by the C. P. R. in Montreal. Grant writes us thus on the History of Fourth Form '23-'2-1: The class had among its members some fine students. Witness the excel- lent showing made in the exams-a showing which was a constant source of delight to the erudite souls of the various instructors. In athletics Fourth Form '23-'24 was without peer, romping away with the boys' and girls' relay races on Field Day, sporting an invincible hockey team, and staging a boxing show that for symmetry of motion and artisbic expressions could not be duplicated anywhere. During the winter through the gen- erosity of Mr. Graesser, Sr., we were enabled to hold two extremely success- ful toboggan socials that will long be remembered four worthy principal will probably never forget the first, parti- cularly the little bump at the foot of the hilll. Early in June the class held a very enjoyable picnic at Rockwood, followed by a dance on the village band- stand fmusic kindly supplied by the leading grocer of the community.j In summing up, the Fourth Form of 1923-24 'had a very successful year academically, physically, and socially, and although the members are now scattered throughout the country with a diversity of occupations, some teach- ing, some attending university, some working, and some just employed, all retain the most pleasant memories of that last year. These memories are saddened by the thought of the loss of one of the Hnest members of the class, Isabel Blair Parker, who passed away early last fall, and those who were pnivileg- ed to know her will always honour the memory of such a fine class-mate. GRANTHAM H. A. WESTOBYX' JOHN RENNIE, Secretary of the Lit. last year, is teaching near Hamilton. ALEX GRUZLESKI is employed in the shipping room of the Northern Rub- ber Co. MADELINE KELLY, Sybil Smith and Alma Gordon, are on the substitute stail of the Guelph P. S. OBITFARY Life is not measured by the time we live. ISABEL BLAIR PARKER, of Form IV '23-'24, died in Hamilton Hospital September 6th, 1925, after a brief ill- ness. A girl, whom to meet, was to love: a cheerful companion, a sincere friend, and an earnest student. JAMES ARMSTRONG. of Form III '24-'25, died at his home January 18th. 1925. A quiet boy, who played the game in a quiet way, but played it well. The End of the School Year .-Xnd now we draw near the end of another school year. with its work and its play, its troubles and its pleasures. its disappointments and its expectations. But no one comes to the end of the year with indifference. To the younger buys and girls it. of course. means the holidaysg to those who are older. the end must come with mixed feelings. ,lust at this time there comes to both teacher and pupil alike the thought, Have we done our best? If we had the year given to us again. could we not do better? Un the whole. the Guelph Collegiate has every reason to feel satisfied with the year 1925-26. lte are looking with confidence to the result of the -lune examinations and are sure that they will show much good work accomplished. Then, too, have not the Rugby, Basketball and Hockey teams come through with flying colors? And the spirit of the pupils. in attending these games has been bet- ter than ever before. Next year we must endeavour to make even more successful that this-a task which will be dirlicult for most of the pupils who are leaying have set a very high standard in work, in character. and in play. To these we say. Farewell: the boys and girls of tihe Green and Xtiiite even as they cheered you in your games sto shall they continue to cheer you to Play up and play the game. Fare- well, we say! May you play your part in the game of life in accordance with the highest rules. winning therein even greater success than has been yours in our smaller held. For those of tis who remain, ours it is to push on to higher honours in the sphere of learning and in our sports: may we in turn hear our gradu- ates cheering us on in our activities so that our school-spirit may live on and be a greater force binding all 'to our common Alma Mater.

Series in Lon- don, Ont.. left Guelph on the evening of October 22nd, 1925. The team was composed of Cadets Dudgeon, Card. Sloan, Heard, Phelan, Lowrie, Marsh and Large, under Sergeants Falcon- bridge and Broadfoot. Captain Dudgeon was in charge of the shooting squad. Mr. Herb. Steele accompanied the team and exercised a general supervision. Just before the train pulled out. Trustee J. M. Card supplied the squad with apples and chocolate bars. These were certainly appreciated. At Kitchener we were joined by some fair maidens of the Kitchener- Waterloo Collegiate Institute, and from there on our supply of apples and cho- colate bars was nothing to worry about. At London the authorities had two ambulances to take us to Tecumseh Barracks. On account of our convey- ance even the traflic cops gave way. but We arrived without any more serious casualty than Sloan's suitcase dropping open and emptying its contents. Arriving at the barracks we found nothing to eat, so we had to make an- other trip down town. We dozed off about three in the inorning with icicles hanging on our toes, since the janitor was on his holidays and the army was economizing. We were disturbed about five by the bugler sounding Reveille, but being in a half dazed condition we mistook it for lights out and promptly turned over and had another snooze. Soon, however, the hustle and bustle made us realize that it was time to get up, but but oh how we hated to get up in the morning. Breakfast came next, but owing to the fact that we do not Wish to refresh this in our memory we will pass over it without any more comment.

For being the eighth best shot in about one hundred and fifty, Capt. Dudgeon also won a bronze medal. At noon we were given our dinner at the ranges, a regular Jiggs and Dinty Moore special, consisting mainly of corned beef and cabbage, served on some old tin plates which had not been washed since the previous year. We slept at the barracks that night but did not get our meals there, after we were told by a rather offensive look- ing individual that there were lots of restaurants down town. Next morning we arrived back in Guelph, after having had a real good two-days outing. Shooting on the indoor miniature ranges has been in operation since last November. During the winter a team shot in the Laura Secord Competition. Another team composed of Cadets Large, Brook, Garrison, Pitman, Card. Broadfoot, Lowry, Phelan, Rudd, Dud- geon, Sloan and Hammond, shot the winter matches of t-he D.C.R.A. series. which run for three months. The gold medal for the highest score goes to John Dudgeon, while C. Sloan will re- ceive a second class medal. A silver spoon donated by the Club was won in February by C. Sloan, and the one for March by Lorne Lowry. Shooters who have won Dominion Marksmen's badges this year are: Gold, C. Sloan and J. Dudgeong Silver, D. Dudgeong Bronze, J. Card, G. Large, K. Brooks. E. Rudd, G. Hammond, A. Pitman, W. Garrison, R. Monkhouse. Bronze medal holders shoot for a silver medal and then for a gold. G. C.-V. l. Commencement The annual Collegiate Commence- ment was held on Wednesday evening. March 31st, in the auditorium. Des- pite the inclement weather there was a large attendance of parents and pupils. Mrs. C. R. Crowe, the Chairman of the Board of Education, gave an in- teresting opening address, dealing with the academical, physical and social achievements of the school for the past year. Mr. Ross presented the First and Second Carter Scholarships to Francis Lambton and Helen Day respectively. also the Form prizes. Dr. Britton gave his special prize to the leading boy in 3 Senior. ln his ever inimitable way Mr. Davison, Principal Emeritus, presented the John McCrae Scholarship to Elsie Masson. Club swinging by the girls of Miss Pigott's class, and the Indian dance, by the girls of the Senior Classes, un- der Miss Laughlin's and Miss Higgins' instruction, were interesting numbers. A resume of athletics for the last year was delivered by Mr. Charles- worth, after wh-ich the rugby, hockey and basketball captains received the cups awarded for their championships. Ribbons and cups were given to the winners of Field Day. In the course of the evening baskets of flowers were presented to Elsie Mas- son, Mr. Ross and Mr. Davison, while each was cheered by the school under the leadership of Goof Mackinnon. The Hnal number of the programme was a play. ULes Deux Sourdsf' well staged by the members of the Senior Forms.

It is now looked forward to with an eagerness which speaks volumes for the class of pro- grammes presented. Our Society provides pleasant recreation as well as a spirit of competition in our social life: without it something essential would be lacking. This year's Society has, we hope, done its full assignment of work in giving us better en- tertainment and a knowledge of how such a society should be conducted. G, C,-V.

Another particularly well performed number was the cailisthenics by the boys of First and Second Forms. ii Athletic One of the enjoyable events of the Collegiate year was the banquet given by the Board of Education in honour of the Rugby and Softball teams on January 18th. A very attractive meal was served by the girls of the Domes- tic Science Class to sixty guests, in- cluding the players, members of the staff and of the Board. Mr. Westoby. acting as toast-master, told the guests of the handsome donation from the Banquet Board of Education to the athletic fund of the school. Mr. Hamilton, of Galt, brought congratulations to our boys from 'the captain of the Galt Rugby team, and presented 'the Hamilton Cup to George Hull, our captain. After the speeches and tl1e presentations to Coach Knight and Trainer Gildea, the company adjourned to the auditorium, where for two hours dancing was mucfh enjoyed.

Green and white, the school col- ours were used to decorate the audi- torium. The stage, where a very good orchstra played for dancing, was bank- ed with evergreens lighted with strings of Christmas-tree lights. Supper was served in the Domestic Science room upstairs, which was also decorated with green and white. There were in all sixteen dances and two extras, music being furnished by a local orchestra. 48 ACTA NOSTRA, 1926 Skating Party One of the bright features of the dull month of March was a skating party. This great event took place on March 2nd at the Royal Rink. The ice was exceptionally good and the party was enjoyed by a great many pupils. The number of pupils attend- ing showed the ever-i-ncreasing scho-ol spirit. The Tea Dance The first Tea Dance of the year was held on the Friday of the second week in February from four to six o'clock in the school auditorium. The large number of pupils present showed that a real interest is taken in these afternoon dances. The splendid support given to this affair by the students of the Lower school forms was note- worthy. Everyone froni the lowly fresh- man to the graduating student enjoyed the two hours of dancing to the lnusic provided by our excellent school or- chestra. ii X I E7SON5l'tM'fH Time IN UISN . A Visit to Taylor-Forbes ACTA NOSTRA, 1926 49 What a. factory produces is gener- ally known, but how this is done is often a mystery to the average indivi- dual. ln our industrial education the know how is the important thing and to help obtain this we visit various manufacturing concerns. In a visit to the Taylor-Forbes plant one cannot but be impressed at its comprehensiveness where the products range from door latches to steam radi- ators. These products distributed to the many branches make the name Taylor-Forbes and Made in Guelph. Canada known the world over. From the busy oflice to the shipping room. system is the keynote of success-a man by specializing in one operation becomes so proficient that output is in- creased greatly. Since space does not permit of detail in the several thousand things made, we will confine ourselves briefly to the lawn mower for which this firm is noted. Patterns for the parts are first ac- curately constructed of wood, and from these the master patterns used in mak- ing the moulds are cast of aluminum. Iron of a definite composition, suiting it to its purpose, is melted in the cupola and then poured from ladles into the moulds. Any parts subjected to strain are either forged or made of malleable cast. After casting, the parts are machined, polished. inspected and as- sembled. The cutting blades of the mowers are rivetted on. then ground for size and edge. The handles are made in the woodworking shop, an- other unit of the factory. The finished mower is sprayed. decorated, has a final inspection and is then ready to uphold the reputation of its ancestors. All operations even those on small articles are accurately performed, and in a manner which makes SATISFAC- TION spell SALES. A Visit to The Gilson Manufacturing Co. A factory with a pleasing outside appearance is generally a rarity. In this respect the Gilson Manufacturing Co. differs from the general run. as its well-groomed lawns will show. An- other departure is the cages on the lawn where animals and birds of different 'descriptions are housed. These exter- nals present an appearance which, without doubt. can be equalled by few concerns. In our tour of inspection we were welcomed by the president, after which we were conducted through the plant. The products are many among which are the famous Gilson Goes- Like-Sixtyu engine, manufactured in sizes up to ten horsepower, the Gilson Magic Furnace, the Snow-Bird washer and others as hay forks, grave vaults, litter carriers, silos, etc. The factory is interesting in con- nection with our vocational education. since it is on a production basis and besides the usual machinery there is much automatic machinery in opera- tion for screw cutting and gear cutting. In the foundry the cores and moulds are made and then the castings run. In the machine shop wc saw these castings being machined in lathes and milling machines. XVelding on furnaces and other machinery is done with the electric arc, which generates an in- tense heat. Assembling is carried on carefully and then a rigid inspection insures a perfect running machine. Another noticeable feature was the tool room where supplies are kept, re- pairs made, tools sharpened, and gaug- es tested for correctness. As students of the Vocational Class- es we wish to thank the Gilson Manu- facturing Co, and Taylor-Forbes Ltd. for their courtesy in allowing us to ob- tain an insight into actual factory con- ditions.

Kaiser. Silver and Card at the violin draw the bow in first-class style. while Fitt and Henderson perform at their saxaphones and make real music. At the cornet we have a. talented play- er in J.

Silver and W. Buchanan, who were confront- ed by many difliculties which they have eventually overcome. Each individual member is a first- class musician, but a good orchestra can result only from continued prac- tice together. The members have been kind enough to give considerable of their time and we are sure their music is appreciated by all. W. Buchanan. .. 2 fl WW . , 1 ll .

Has a rugby record that canit be beat. lVhile in lesson periods he's often The girls all, think he is so cute. mute. She had studied about bugology. Knew all about Latin and Greek. Could do her trig. the best of all. And French and German speak. Her name if t-hat you wish to hear. Mariam Skelton just here this year. Elton Vllalker Born 1907. All star centre on the rugby eleven. Laughter and fun he makes .them rhyme. Knockout in Latin all the time. Now Everard Rudd is no stick in the mud. A jolly. willing fellow. and not a dud. He dare not grouch when Miss Sinclair scolds. But his Cicero does. just as he's told. Helen R.adigan's pretty and very young. Shf's the life of all that she's among. Though lessons she seldom knows much about. b The boys all like to take her out, Now here's Harry Borden so modest and shy, He loo-ks at the scenery when Hanner's go by.

An all-round good sport and pleasant to meet. Short Hull is small as he can be. His height is only six foot three. The girls he always seemed to shun. But now he has found the .only one. Helen McDonald is an Acton maid. She sometimes has the train delayed. But as Davy's pet, that doesu't matter, She knows her Geometry all the better. Xvtallace Buchanan. so they say. An orator great will be some day. To practice on us is his present bent Gesticulating as Lit. president. Irene Knox so jolly and kind, To lend her homework she doesn't mind. And so when teachers are cross and snappy, She does her share to make us happy. Big, jolly mischievous boy. Every prank is his greatest joy. Ready for rugby. roaring to go. Never behind, never too slow. Exams he hates. so on that day. Really quite often the stays away. Clever, witty. bright anid gay. Ready for work as well as play, Of Florence Dickieson's virtues. we cannot tell half, But the one we like best is her gay little laugh.

Clova Ki-tching is a curly headed lass. XN'ho seldom heads her fourth form class. She likes modern languages, to speak German some, Brut when talking in class, she hears teacher's come, come. Stem.mler's the boy who still wears shorts, An-d never takes part in fourth form sports, He's good in Greek when exam. time comes, And during school hours his work never sihuns. Margaret Young is fu-ll of fun. Except when Latin is to be done: She scratches her head and makes faces too, VV31en geometry problems are to do. Vkfilrose Reid a front Seat boy. Vifhose Geometry often gives Davy joy: He hails from Acton. so you see. How clever Acton people must be. Verna Lehman, a teacher will be.

He's Charley's pride and Davy's joy. In fact he's quite the white-haired boy. Margaret Carleton. fair and slim. Is very quiet and very prim. But she sometimes talks in teacher's spares, And with their roars, they give her scares. Gordon Howse a back seat takes. And really seldom makes mistakes. But when some questions he can't hear, His answers are not quite right, I fear. Genevieve Clarridge. a soft-ball star. XVould rather play games than learn lessons by farg VVhen answering History she makes mistakes, But in Geometry class she makes few breaks. Ross Carton comes to school in a very nice way.

It seemed that Spring was far away. And only winter near: No birds were twiittering in the sun, The sap had not commenced to run. And all was dark and drear. To-day the world is misty green A prettier sight was never seen Than Lady April now. The birds are singing songs of praise. And buds their sleepy eyes upraise. Along the maple bough. The brooks are chattering to the breeze XYhicli tells the stories to the trees That Spring once more is here: No longer does the icy band Of winter hold the world in hand. But Spring has brought good cheer, First .X'pril's rains fall down to earth. Then .-Xpril's sun shines out in mirth: For April is an elf. NVho laughs in joy. in tears then weeps. But ever and anon s-he keeps. Her secret to herself. N. Millen. III Jr. C THE OWL tPrize Poeml VYhen moonlight is Hickering. Through twilight just thickening. XVhen swallows are twittering. And hreflies light? Then down a pale moonbeam. O'er moss clad in web sheen Glides ll phantom. strange phantom of night. A mysterious shadow. O'er Field and o'er meadow. Soft grey-winged marauder Of hours past dayg And through the dark branches. XVhere the Norway pine dances. His voice fades away. fades away. When sunlight is sifting Through white mists just lifting. VVhen pink clouds are drifting. And the east glows red: All grey in a sunbeam. Bedraggled with dew sheen. Our phanton. a barn owl. lies dead. D. Rushbrook, III Jr. C. THOUGHTS OF A STUDENT By morn and afternoon we come and go. And wonder. wonder if great Julius wore His heart upon his sleeve. or if before Sir Virgil wrote. did he his Latin know? Di-d queer faced Socrates with brains so VVonfdrious bright. ask questions by the score? Or blind old Homer sing his ancient lore? Did all these things by fate just happen so? Again we look ahead and see thetime VVhen we will neither come nor go with thought Of such. but set about our work with naught Of book or pen or sturdy Latin line. ,V And with our brightly shining classical light, VVe'ill give the sleeping world a dreadful' fright. i .T.'K. Mather. III Sr. B. THE HERMIT The breath of spray foams o'er the sea. Dark clouds the east horizon sweep: A sea of thoughts are blown to me. From out a grey and surging deep. Though towers high my grim abode, Thoug-h lone my life u-pon this rock. Though years of time have faster strode And life its failure ceased to mock. Yet. dawn the crimson sunrise brings. Each eye the dew falls sparkling here. And nature all her glory flings To light a bare and storm-swept sphere. Across that waste from where I came. Borne on an ocean of despair. XYhat lurks? The world with all its fame, VVill never lure my spirit there. Dorothy Rushbriook. HI jr, C. ACTA NOSTRA, 1926. 61 THE WEAVER OF THE SEASONS The XVeaver of the Seasons is a wizened man and old. He sits in his great castle with its towers grim and bold: That rear their turrets to the sky to meet the clouds. it seems. XYhile the XYeaver of the Seasons weaves a thread of golden dreams. He weaves the winter's storm and cold with thread as white as snow. But here and there red cheeks are found where wind has made them glow: :Xnd to himself he sings a song while working there all day. A song that tells of hopes and fears in the world so far away. Then. gradually. in goes the pink and delicate pale green.

The Dover Road The road that winds its way across the mills and through the valleys from London Town to Dover is old and historical. Original- ly it was the Vvatling Street of Roman times and countless Roman legions have marched along it bringing terror to the hearts of the native Britons: countless. too. were the regi- ments of soldiers whom we saw marching along it from 1914 to l9l8. It was along this road that were nrst told those stories that are famous as Chaucer's Canterbury Tales. After leaving London one goes for a short time through rather uninteresting city suburbs and then. at last. one is out in the open country. The English countryside has not the unfinished appearance of the rural districts in Canada. Here are neat Fields bordered by low hedges: and trim cottages. many of them timbered and with thatched roofs. The road in Spring is so beautiful that one is almost speechless with the wonder and delight of it all. In the hedge- rows are wild roses. even daintier. I think. than their garden cousinsg the red and white hawthorns are also here. Yellow primroses cluster along the base of the hedges. while in a nearby wood the ground is covered with a stretch of blue that sways and bends in the breeze+bluebells. Having passed through several towns and villages one comes at length to Rochester, with its old castle on the hill-top that keeps guard over the town and watch on those that pass along the Dover Road. Here it was that Charles Dickens made his home at Gadshill. and Rochester and its near neighbour. Chatham. are proud of their mention in numb- ers of his stories. Some distance on is Milton. now an inland village. but formerly the sea came right up to it. and Yiking sailors burned and sacked the town. The next place of interest is Ospringe: here is the Maison Dieu. a priory founded by King Henry III. Beside it is Wiater Lane which is sometimes so filled with water that boats can be used on it. About a mile further on is Faversham. lust out of the town is Ewell Farm. now owned by my grandfather. where King Stephen died. Canterbury is perhaps the most beautiful city of all. lf you stand On the hill just out- side the town and look down. the old grey cathedral is seen rearing its towers benignly among the ancient timbered houses that cluster close around. It has been said that every Eng- lish speaking man and woman should visit Canterbury at least once in their lives and this view from the Kentish hill-to-p would re- pay a journey of many miles. The Dover Road goes through the 'XYest Gate which is part of the original Town XYiall. A little way ahead is the oldest Christian Church in Eng- land where services have been held continu- ously for over thirteen hundred years. Then like a white ribbon, the road meand- ers along through many small villages. for one cannot travel very far in England before one comes to either a town or a village. till at last it comes to Dover. the premier Cinque port and well known in many stories. Here ends the Dover Road and in its journey from London to Dover it goes through some seventy-six miles of the -prettiest country in England. Nora Millen.

ACTA NOSTRA, 1926 63 GREEK AND LATIN IN RELATION TO AN APPRECIATION OF ENGLISH LITERATURE. Ancient themes have frequently been used by the great English poets such as Milton, Shelley. Keats. Browning and Tennyson. They display in some of 'their shorter poems 'the same prospective as had the classic writers. and have filled their poetry with classical spirit. lYe find this exemplified in Milton's p-oem. LI-Xllegro. which is being studied this year in the Upper Forms. 'On the second line we find reference made to Cerberus in Sty- gian cave forlorn. who was the three-headed dog that kept watch at the entrance to the lower world. to prevent the living from enter- ing and the dead from escaping back across the river Styx. Mention is made of lovely Yenus, with two sister Graces more, who give beauty and charm to nature. XYe .hear also of Zephyr. the west wind, playing with his molth- er. .-Xurora. Milton speaks of the nods and becks. and wreathed smiles. such as thang on Hebe's cheek. She was the daughter of Zeus and Here. and the .goddess of eternal youth. He concludes his poem by referring to the beautiful legend of Orpheus and Eurydice. The student of Horace immediately recalls to mind: Quod si Threicio blanclius Orpheo, Auditam moderere arboribus Hdem. Num vanae redeat sanguis imaginif' In translating the works of the Greeks and Roman writers, the student becomes familiar with the classic legends. which in turn help him t-o appreciate English literature. Thus the'time and 'labour expended in studying Latin and Greek justifies itself even for this purpose. lFrom an Essay by Dorothy Drever IYJ Some that's Latin and more that isn't.

III Sr. BJ fPrize Essayj Matthew Arnold has said that in educa- tion it is above all things necessary that a man acquaint himself with the best that has been thought in the world. Much of the best literature is found among the writings of the Greeks and Romans. No modern writer has been able to inspire a higher. more vivid. and passionate spirit of 'patriotism than the matchless oraitions of Pericles. Cicero and their fellow countrymen. No modern histories have been able to in- struct and enlighten governments of to-day. as those of Greece and of Rome. To under- stand fully political questions one must -have a knowledge of their historical background. Many of our problems are only enlargements of those with which first Greece. then Rome, was confronted. Thucydides Themistocles. the Gracchi an-d Julius Caesar had problems of historical and political movements as -in- structive for us as are those of Burke. Pittt and Macdonald. Since Rome, influenced by Greek culture. is the foundation of modern civilization, it is essential that the 'histories of 'these countries be studied. The literature of Rome shows fthe indu- ence of Greek. yet it contains many new ele- ments which make i-t truly Roman. The structure of the Latin sentence lacks some of the freedom of the Greek. Its foundation shows the character of the people, the-ir strength an-d dignity. and strict adherence to the law. The achievements of the Romans were practical. They gave to the world the first great example of law: they built up ithe first great imperial state whose history no imperial nation can afford to scoff at or over- look. They are one of the greatest people the world has ever known. It is difhcult to find a profession in mod- ern life in which a knowledge of .the classics is not an aid. The law student who must learn the history of law. has 'to go back to the system which the Romans had. A lawyer must be able not only to understand the law but to express himself clearly. The training which he obtains in translating Latin and Greek into English and vice-versa is unequal- led. To the scientist, since the majority of scientific names are derived from Latin and Greek, and since Greece was the cradle of science, a knowledge of these 'languages is of great value. In the study of modern lan- guage an acquaintance with the classics is of much use because the home of the Roman-ce languages was Rome. Classical mythology holds an important place in the world of fine arts. Modern drama, music and sculpture owe much to the classical lore. The legends of Orpheus and Eurydice. Cupid an-d Psyche. etc.. with their countless varieties of representations have ex- erted their influence on modern art. Aricliitects have made use of classical 'legends in the adornment of their buildings. Therefore a knowledge of the classics is of 'much value to the art student and to those who appreciate art. Modern -literature owes a great deb-t -to the classics. To them we are indelbted for even our alphabet. The New Testament was first written in Greek. Without taking into consideration the immense value of the works themselves. of classical writers, who have never been equalled -in their ability to C0111- bine music. poetry and reason. think of the influence which their literature has had on that of the modern age. There is no country in Europe from cold rocky Norway to the sunny plains of immortal Italy whose litera- ture is not interwoven with the threads of classical mythology. He who studies Englis-h literature without the lights of classical knowledge loses half the charm of its senuti- ments and style. of its force and feeling, and of its delightful allusions. Every age of English 'literature from Cha-ucer to the poets of -to-day. is steeiped deeply in legends and myths of Greece and Rlome. Milton. one of England's greatest poets, was also one of her greatest classical scholars. He could never have written as he did. without a knowledge of the classics. Tennyson's Ulysses cannot be really appreciated without a knowledge of Homer. Shelly. Keats, Browning. Lo-ngfel-low and scores of other poets have made use of 'Greek and Latin traditions. The -best proif-e.s- sors of English literature, the best critics, .the best historians are classical graduates. The rigidity of the construction of the Latin and Greek languages tends to correct the slovenly. careless habits of 'mo-dern writt- ing. It is for the best .interests of our Eng- lish language, five-sevenths of the vocabulary of which is derived from that of Greece and of Rome. that the study of the classics 'be encouraged in our modern system of educa- tion. One of the first and perhaps the greatest aim of education is the establishment of i-deals, which with training and heredity a-re the foundation of character. T0 master Greek and Latin one must have self-control, pat-ience, rigorous application, an-d keenness o-f observa- -tion. The Classics are unequalled as a means of disci-p-lining the judgment. of refining the taste and of quickening the understanding. Therefore the study of Greek and Latin. 'be- yond the utilitarian value to the student, direct- ly affects his character. 'Abeunt stu-dia in moresf' ACTA NOSTRA, 1926 67 MY RECENT ESCAPADE tPrize Essay for III ,lr.Al E. Carson fMay XY'hal Some people believe travelling in the Orient to be an ideal holiday. Others imagine it to be romantic. thrilling. But others, who have experienced that so-called pleasure. think of it as a dose of castor-oil. which must be taken but which leaves a bad taste in the mouth. I am of the latter disillusioned few. and after I have given a brief account of my most recent trip in China. I think you will agree with ine. Our parity consisted of thirteen. two wo- men. five girls. two men. and four boys. in- cluding a two-year old baby. lYe came -down from Omei mountain, a summer resort. to Kioting -expecting to find a steamer waiting to convey us down river. There was none. and for a week we waited for another to come up. Fortunately. Kioting was then my home, so we were not uncomfortable while waiting. On Saturday morning we were roused 'by the cry Steamer in sight! and all crowded to the top of a small hill to watch the slow progress of the little tug against the swift current. It had come within a mile or two of the city where the current proved too much for it, and it turned down-stream. Imagine our disappointment and rage! But we were to be consoled. for. that very afternoon. it managed to make the city. Three of our party. including myself. went d-own to see about securing passage. but on arriving at the steamer we found it had been comman- dcered by soldiers who were none too polite in telling us to go back home. Finally after various arguments and sums of money had passed between them and us. they told us to bring our baggage on board. This we did. only to find that. when we had put the last piece of 'baggage aboard. the soldiers would not permit us to go on the boat. More money and talk persuaded the gentlemen adventurers 'to allow us all standing space on the small deck. The company. in which we found our- selves. was anything but congenial. There were soldiers all armed to the teeth and overflowing with wine. who would gladly have run us through. There was an inhospitable captain who wished to put us ashore: and the stewards were the most impudent bunch of fellows I have ever seen out of s-chool. After we got under way. I became in- volved in a heated argument with ia young officer about the relations between England and China. 'I believe the was preparing to throw me overboard, ibut was interrupted in this unkind action by a volley of rifle shorts from both shores. NVe all dived for shelter behind boxes, bedding, anything so long as we could not see our attackers. I ducked be- hind a box which I afterwards found to be em-pty. and my argumentatiive friend crouch- ed behind me. leaving part of his coat ex- posed. which was promptly perforated. Wie crowded behind this box for nearly fifteen minutes. during which time my little friend was at great lengthfcursing the ances- tors of the unhappy individual who had ruined his coat. His vocabulary put even me to shame and after the bring ceased. I crawled out. while he followed to see whatdamage had been done. XYe found many bullet holes, but only two men had been slightly wounded. In several hours we anchored at Suifu. Then really began our troubles! Here we were to have transferred to another steamer. but. we were told. it had left the previous morning. XYhat were we to do? The boat we were on leaked badly. but there were no others. Finally deciding to put our baggage ashore. we secured an old row-boat. and had just landed the last piece. when we saw com- ing towards us two French Fathers. accom- panied by two French navy officers. XYhat a relief! All our troubles were dispersed as quickly as they had gathered. One of our party who spoke French well. brought us the joyful news that we were to go aboard the 'two French gun-boats, which would be leav- ing i-n the morning for Chungking. as guests of the comntanider. Did we work? No need to ask that! I ran up and d-own the shore for fully four hours. yelling at every man I saw to find me a boat. a raft. or anything that would carry our baggage around t-he bend to the gun- boats. Finally one old man came to my as- sistance with a battered old relic which must have been in active service as a life-'boa-t on the Ark. Into this we piled ourselves and all our baggage. 'pushed off from shore and drift- ed down-stream. too tired to row. On rounfd- ing the bend we saw. not twenty yards away. the two gun-boats. alight from stem to stern. like some fairy palace all aglow to welcome us, One of my companions said as ito himself: Thank God for white men! and I heartily agreed with him. THE NANCY fBy Dorothy Rushbroolc. III jr. C.l The Nottawasaga River rises in Dufferin County. and winding its way north through wooded country. finally empties its shining waters into the NVasaga. an annex of Georgian Bay. In the year 1814 this river was the scene of a battle between the Canadians anid Americans. and here it was that the Nancy, a British schooner. was sunk before it could escape out into the Bay. Over one hundred years have elapsed since this tragedy. years of parliamentary strife and war. Therefore. it is -only now that people are beginininig to 68 ACTA NO-STRA, 1926 feel that Wasaga Beach. the fiourishing sum- mer resort. is really a sport of historic interest. This summer, rumors 'travelled to Oak- view, three miles from the m-out-h of at-he Nottawasaga. to the effect that the sailing ship was being removed. Accordingly. early one morning my cousin and I decided to row down the river and investigate the pro- ceedings. The hands of the clock were pointing to ten minutes to seven when we silently emerg- ed from the co-ttage and made our way to the boat. As the oars dipped into the water and we slid from the bank, several huge. dusky turtles flopped into the river and disappeared under some white water-lilies. The woo-ds seemed alive this clear morning. Our wild neighbours had been abroad for hours before we. disturbing mortals. appeared on the scene. On our right. astartled blue heron rose from the 'brush and flapped southward: a mink scurried into safety. a kintgfisher flew scream- ing overhead and. from an overhanging pine, two furry hits of energy chattered angrilv as though to dispute our right in spoiling the stillness of their river. This was too sunny a morning for fishing as the black bass refused to he lured 'from the green depths below us. Now we turned the first bend and high sand banks rose into view covered with dense clusters of pines with. here and there. the Hash of a white birch. All was still here ex- cept for the steady dip, dip of oars an-d the muffled roar of waves beating upon the beach. One more bend and the river took a straight course towards the white-capped blue of t'he Bay. Though on one side still rose sand banks. the other shore was low and dotted with cottages. This was the Hiasaga of the holiday-maker. Xte were now fast approach- ing an island in mid-stream. a very small is- land. partly mud flats and covered with low bushes. lt was here that the schooner Nancy lay buried deep in mud. XYe ground- ed the boat and got out. It was not too early for curio .hunters to be abroad. and already a num-ber of men were standing knee-deep in water. digging in the sand. In due time we were shown a quantity of nails. an old bolt. several pieces of iron. and a key. all of which had been extracted from the debris. Only the ribs and keel of the schooner were above surface: .these were of thick. but decay- ed timber. These, besides an assortment of iron implements. tfhe anchor, a couple of can- non balls and an old Indian skull are all -that is left of the once staunch and gallant little bi ig. the Nancy . SAINT MALO tBy Peggy Hall. Form II BJ St. Malo is. in the minds of Canadians, a very important little town. because it was from this place that Jacques Cartier set sail in 1534 for the New World. It has been mad-e still more noteworthy by the poem entitled, The Seaport of St. Malo. writ-ten by D'Arcy McGee. who was a member -of the Dominion Legislature about the time of Confederation. This poem is in all third public school readers and for this reason we are more familiar witlh lt. A wall entirely surrounds the greater part of the town and is very strong and well built. As St. Malo is a very ancient town the build- ings are old. and as a result some are very quainft and picturesque. The streets inside the wall are very narrow and crooked with here and there a little square or an unoccupied building. The people are rather backward. and though the town is clean it is not sanitary. There are no sewers and Waterworks are very scarce. Almost all the dirty water and refuse is thrown into the streets and thus one could not say that sanitation existed in St. Malo. However. the inside of their homes is very clean and all brass and metal is kept in the very best condition. The inhabitants of St. Malo are mostly engaged in market gardening as there are few. if any, important factories. In the little -squares. which I mentioned before. a market is held each day. Ordinary fish and shell fish are the chief 'products for sale. but fresh vegetables are sometimes plenti- ful. Potato tops are often sold in these mar- kets to he use-d as a fertilizer. Loads and loads of these come in each day and the poor little donkeys which have to pull them some- times seem to be very tired. There are few motors and most transportation is carried on hy two wheeled donkey carts. The women of Malo wear the regular Brittany costume, which consists of a little white cap. well starched. and sitting just on top of their heads. an old-fashioned dress, usually black. with a purple or blue bodice. the skirt being full and nearly touching the ground. Felt slippers with leather soles or wooden shoes are worn by' all the poor classes while the better classes indulge in black leath- er low shoes. The girls dress just about tihe same as do our girls. but the boys when in short trousers wear a black satin apron to prevent their clothes from becoming soile-d. but when they begin to wear long trousers they do away with the apron. None of the people speak English Huently. but some of those who work in stores have a limited know- ledge of it. St. Malo is on an island in the estuary of the River Rance. It also 'faces the sea, and on all sides is surrounded by a rampart from fifteen to twenty feet high. At l-ow tide the water recedes about a mile, while at high tide it frequently splashes over the top of the ramipart. Paramie is a sister town to St. Malo, and here is situated a very wonderful bathing beach.. because when the water goes back it leaves a beautiful smooth coating of ACTA NO-S golden sand. Many pretty pebbles and shells can be found which are frequently picked up and kept as remembrances of St. Malo. just off this shore are many rocky islands on which forts are built an-d at sunset when the tide is high they often appear as magnificent castles in the air embedded in a deep blue sky. From this. seemingly very small. unimportant town there set sail a man who wended his way to -the west and by beginning a small settlement on the banks of the St. Lawrence really made a strong nucleus on which our Canada has been built. Not only has the country been settled around the St. Lawrence River. but Canada 'has been populated from Halifax to Victoria. and as far north as Hu-dson Bay and the Peace River. Little did Jacques Cart- ier ever think that he was laying the founda- tion for such a wealthy and prosperous coun- try as Canada with a population of about nine million people. Never did it enter his mind that behind the bleak rocky shores covered with bush there would develop a country noted for the extent of its agriculture, for its ex- tensive wealth in timber and pulpwood. for its lakes and rivers abounding in fish. and for its innumerable water falls which when harnessed produce millions of horse power of electricity which run our factories. light our houses and streets and help to cook our food. MY TRIP ABROAD lBy E. Buckingham. Form III Sr. BJ Some minds improve with travel. others. rather resemble copper. wire or brass. which get narrower by going faster. After a remarkably smooth passage. we landed at Liverpool on july the twelfth. My first impressions of England were not very favourable. Liverpool appeared to be a dirty manufacturing city. but perhaps this was be- cause we landed in the midst of a dense fog. and. besides. we left Liverpool for XVinder- mere within a few hours. before we were able to see very much of the city. At First I thought the English train system could not comipare with ours. The trains looked like toys. so small are they. but although they are much smaller than ours they travel at a terrific rate. and do not have to slow up for level crossings. as they are all bridged. On the other hand the stations and trains are not nearly so clean as ours. and on very rare oc- casions does one chance to procure a com- partment alone. without several, usually un- desirable. travelling companions. There is no one to call out the trains or the stations. consequently one thas to be very alert to watch out for one's destination. Vile arrived at Wlindermere after a tedious journey. for we had a long wait for a train at Preston. strictly a manufacturin-' town on the way to XK'indermere. and a filthy unattrac- tive place. TRA, 1926 69 At Windermere I changed my op-inion about England. for this place its a quiet fairy- land with a beautiful lake dotted with islands which we looked out upon from our rooms. The gorgeous sunsets which did not fa-de out until almost twelve o'clock at night. and the many pretty walks and flowers completed its charm. The lovely village of Grasmere and the lake districts where we saw NVordswort-h's home and the tombs of VVoodswor-th. Hartley Coleridge. and Southey were a great source of interest to us. But the inevitable tourist did annoy me. talthough I myself was onej. for he was everywhere no matter in what quiet and secluded spot we happened to be. On -luly 17th we arrived at Edinburgh. the most beautiful city in the world. and we were First impressed by its famous Princes' Street. This street has beautiful gardens on one side. with the statues of her great sons placed there to be an inspiration to future sons, On the other side are s-hops. and over all towers the dreary old Edinburgh castle. Rival- ling Princess' Street in interest is the High Street. which is now the slum district. swarm- ing with drunkenness. where formerly were the 'homes of the aristocracy. Holyrood Castle. St. Giles' Cathedral. the art Galleries. where I liked especially the splendid Raeburns. and where the delicate Greuzes impressed us im- mensely. Here the illustrious Forth Bridge. that marvellous and magnificent structure. the longest bridge in the world. reaches a mile and a half across the Forth River. W'ith all these and many other fascinations. Edinburgh is the most interesting city I have seen. The gorgeous beauty of Scotland was revealed to us on our week's motor trip through the Highlands. 'We saw the huge. gloomy. domineering mountains. covered with purple heather. the long succession of lakes known as the Caledonian Canal. the quaint Highland villages. built of stone. with bright- eyed people, keen. imaginative. alert. astonis.h- ingly well-read and educated. Ruddy-checked and sandy-haired youngsters waved to us as we passed. I cannot begin to describe the Highlands. for there is too much to tell. and I have not touched on Oban. Pitlochry. the granite city of Aberdeen. Melrose Abbey. St.-Andrews-by-the Sea. Scott's home, Ab- botsford, Stirling Castle. with its thrilling history and so many other interests of Scot- land. Spending a day at Lincoln and York to view their cathedrals. we arrived at London on August the -lth. The roar of the city. its great throngs and innumerable buses we-re bewildering after the quiet peacefulness of the Highlands. Our time was spent at the Kensington Gardens. Kew Gardens. St. James' Park. Hyde Park. ancient XN'estminster Abbey, filled with memorials. St. Paul's Cathedral. fas- cinating VVembley. the National Gallery, the Tate Gallery. the lYallace Collection. the 70 ACTA NOSTRA, 1926 British Museum, the Historical tower-London is too vast to begin to describe. A day at XN'indsor showed us the Castle and the Queen's Dolls' House, wonderfully planned and complete to the minutest details, Another day we spent at Oxford and its Colleges. W'e tiew 'past Belgium. catching a glimpse of Brussels. Ostend and the desolate country about Ypres and Hill Sixty. where bodies are still being unearthed. This district is still in a state of devastation and very awful, with its fields and Helds of sad .little crosses. The Belgians did not attract me as a people, not only because they are small and thick-set, but because of their selfish. shrewd natures. September the third saw us in the most fascinating. most alluring and most beautiful city in the wo-rld, Paris. The Champs-Ely- sees is a wide and beautiful avenue with shops and mansions on either side. with its Arc de Triomphe at one end of it. where a fire in memory of the Unknown Soldier is forever lit. and the Place de la Concorde and the Obelisk at the other end of it. The Louvre Museum, formerly a palace. is fascinating-an imimense palace-and there we saw the famous XYinged Yictory and the Venus de Milo. and many Yan Dykes. Gruzes. Reubens. Millets. Fra .-Xngelicos, and other great and world-famed pictures. The Luxem- bourg and the Cluny. the latter once Roman fbaths, later a palace. and now a museum. are smaller and almost as interesting. The churches of Paris are gems: mighty Notre Dame, Sainte Chapelle. with its exquisite glass. Saint Germain, Saint Severin. very an- cient. and Saint Etienne. with its lacy carved in the interior. The most beautiful house in the world. the Pantheon. Na- stone opera poleon's Tomb, the Seine River. the amazing Tower are part of the myriad charms Eiffel of Paris. A short week-end. we spent at the delight- fulivillage of Barbizon, the home of Millet and Rousseau. and we walked through the mighty forest of Frontainbleau and saw the famous palace. Q Yersailles is very grandiose. About the palace are wonderful gardens. fountains. ponds. a canal and forests. and as it is built on a height. it faces a gorgeous view. looking d-own the canal. The palace in the interior is quite bare as so much in it was destroyed in the Revolution. The French people are exceedingly in- dustrious. quick. clever. and always busy. a very fine creative people in every way, es- pecially in decorative arts. Yery early on the morning of September the 25th. when dawn was beginning to break. we boarded our boat at Cherbourg and looked back upon that town. still asleep. bathed in the sunrise. with a pang of regret, yet with a secret joy at the thought of home. :Xs our steamer came in sight of Cana-da the worlds of Scott came to my mind: Breathes there a man with soul so dead, Who never to himself hath. said. This is my own, my native lanidf' lVhose heart hath ne'er within him burned. As home his footsteps he hath turned. From wandering on a foreign strand. A DAY ON SAFARI' tllfritten for Acta Nostra by H. Wfestoby, Chairfman Finance Committee, Board of Edu- cation.J Four o'clock in the morning. The air was chill-even cold-and. as we came out of our tents we discovered a sky all sapphire and honey. Big Macgregor, the elephant hunter, tndovu-mwaam-unu. 'the Swahili porters called html. was swearing at the niggers, .and callin-g to them Upesi lhurry upl, since we were to start as soon as things could be packed. VVThat a day! Before us was Mount Keyna. the dome of Africa. grand. solitary, stupendous. with a summit like silver thrown from a mould. Soon great bars of pink and violet were seen streaming from its top. and then the sun Hamed up. and gilded the vtree tops in a most engaging manner. Thousands of monkeys were soon chattering among -the woods. and millions -of bright colored insects began to Hy in all directions. lt was the dawn of a new day. XYe wore pithy helmets. and duck suits. all but Macgregor. who was an sight t-o behold. He stood more than six 'feet l-l'l1l'1Elgl1llf, and wore a double terai tdoubile felt hat with a broad briml. with a strip of leopard's skin around it. Clad in khaki shorts. and shirt, and armed with a rifle. he looked what he was, the elephant hunter to the very life. The natives were clad in a loin cloth, and wreathed in broad smiles. In less than an hour we had eaten. and were off. Mac went in front. with XYhite. the Safari followed, and -loyce and I brought up the rear. all being armed with rifles. Soon numbers of hartee- beasts. giraffes. and waterbucks were seen. but no lions. or leopards. or even a stray elephant. Mac had warned us about the buifaloes. which he said were the wickedest things in East Africa. since they would hide in a clump of bamboo. and dash out with red eyes, all afire, thirsting for blood. The lordly lion is differ- ent. He will hunt by night. often leaping a high fence, kill with a stroke of his paw a cow, and then spring back, carrying the cow with him. If you encounter him by day perihaips he will run away. when accompanied by a lioness. the rules are shoot the female. and leave the lion itill the last. lYoe be unto you if you don't. Shoot the lion, and the lioness will he on you like a flash. all claws. and fight. Shoot the lioness. and the lion will likely skulk away. to hide where he can.

'hiding under a thorn bush. and s-pit- ting like a cat. In vain we tried t-o get it out. It was soon lost in the bus.hes. Later on White wounded a wildebeast. which is like a cow. The poor thing sank down and looked at us in a pitiful sort of way. Afterwards .Ioyce killed a cheetah. which is mu-ch like a tiger. and does a lot of harm to the settlers' fowls. In the early afternoon VVade killed a rhino, He was alone in a clearing at the time. and tive rhinos charged him at once. These animals can smell for more than five hundred yards, but they can only see about thirty-five yards. The killing requires nerve, and cool- ness. because you let them rush by. side-step. and -then wheel and take a shot as they go. Wade was an experienced hunter. He shot in the right place, just behind 'the ear. and wlhen we ran to him. there he was, sitting on -top of a two-ton rhino. with the niggers all around. rubbing their tummies in gleeful an- ticipation. The rhino had one large horn. and two smaller ones. and it looked a very ugly beast. We were walking beneath some trees when Macgregor suddenly grabbed me by the shoulder. In a moment he had fired. and nineteen feet of snake fell out of a tree. It was a python. beautifully colored and with sharp teeth. turned backward. so that there was no escape for prey. The keen eyes of Mac had spotted it before it could even offer up a prayer. if snakes ever pray. In that district pythons do a lot of harm. often measur ing over forty feet in length. and are several feet round. IVe were about to camp for the night when one of the boys calle-d out sud- denly ndovu. I knew this to mean elephan-t. Huyu mdiji. said the others. and big Mac pointed to where they .had said. There stood a single elephant. flapping its great ears, and apparently quite unaware of our presence. since we were about five hundred yards away. Lower down in Portuguese East Africa I had killed a three ton hippopotamus. and I was called hip-po as a consequence. Here's your chance. Hippo. said Macgregor to me. VVe'll steal up to within say about two hund- red yards. and then get ready. A young cannon was handed to me. It was a double barrelled elephant gun. I tried to level it. but failed, hence on reaching the allotted space, well to windward. I lay down. and took care- ful aim. There was a loud roar, a sheet of flame. and I found myself hurled over and over backward. amlong the thorn bushes. I had pulled both triggers at once. and .had missed the animal entirely as well. VVhen I was picked up. the elephant was lying dead. shot by my friends. but all I got was a laugh. Alas. I lost two teeth, and a lot of prestige. by that unlucky shot. But some d-ay I am going 'back to Africa. and then who knows? A big tropical moon Hooded the heavens that night. XVe heard the native drums calling persistently. The sound was strange. even awe inspiring. It gradually grew lou-der and lou-d- er. as the native dance reached the height of its revel. when it seemed as if -the dfrumis we-re bein.g beaten almost at on'e's elb-ow. Then it gradually faded away, until once more all was silent and mystical. 'Twas an African night. alluring. unforgettable. captivating. Big Macgregor told us hunting stories about the camlp fires. One was about some English lads, wlho worked in a bank in Niarobi. and who had gone crocodile hunting. They had shot a croc, and pulled it into their -dug-out canoe. and were paddling back, one in the bow. and one in the stern. when the lad in the stern of the canoe shouted out: Good heavens. the thing's still alive. Both stopped paddling. The boy behind pumped lead into the Croc, and also through the bottom of the canoe, aft-er which it was a race for the shore. wirtih a now dead crocodile. and many live 'ones waiting in the muddy waters for a little white meat. The boys won out. They reached the bank just as the canoe sank. What a fine tale to write about to their parents in far-off Eng- land? Another of his stori-es was about a friend of his. who. with him was pus-hing through a great thicket of bamboo. when sud- denly they had come upon a big bull elephant. calmly awaiting their approach. having got their scent so-me time ago. There was no time for this friend to fire. and all he cou.ld do was to fall prone to the ground. and trust in some miraculous manner -t-hat he mighlt es- cape being impaled on those long tusks, in the mad rush that he knew would follow. He was too late. The elephant smashed through the few yards that separated them, an-d in an instant had seized hold of his friend with hi.s great trunk. and began hurling -him around and around, prior to dashing him with violen.ce to the ground. Macgregor hurried forward. He was at first afraid to fire. for 'fear of shooting his friend. and it was not until -the maddened animal had hurled him away, and was preparing to stamp on him 'that he did so, His shot went through the heart. killing the huge beast instantly. Hastening to his friend's side. he found the poor fellow dreadfully in- jured. and although he was hurried to the hos- pital he died shortly afterwards from his in- juries, Somehow elephant 'hunting -didn't have the same glamor for us after tlhat. VVvhile we were chatting. a deep-throated roar. that was suspiciously near. somewhat startle-d us. Very complacently Macgregor said it was a lion calling for his m-ate. To me it seemed more as if he were calling for his meat, and I was glad we were so many, and had such fine shots. Someday, perhaps. some of you boys and girls will visit Africa. I don't mean the north and south so much. but the wild interior. If you do you will find it a most attractive place. full of strange mystery and charm. It's hot, of course. but life is very interesting. In parts the wild life is amazing. and especially in the ACTA NOSTRA, 1926 73 southern game reserve, where life is protected. The natives are a scream. They often WCHI' less than a Highlanders sporran. but a tiner lot. or more decent lot. I never hope to meet. The women do all the work. carrying great loads on their heads. or by means of a strap tied around the forehead. The men are war- wife. riots. Five cows will buy an excellent and often two. and the more wives a man has the more wealth he claims. since the wo- men till the fields. and look after the grass huts. and everything. One thingI learned was this: If a negro said he would do a thing, he kept his word. It's rather a tine policy. The settlers grow coffee. cotton. and fruits. also a little rubber. They are a nice lot to 1-Z meet. and often in the mi-ddle of a clearing. you'll find the host and 'hostess dressed for dinner. much as at home, and white tablecloth. and silverware. and all the comforts of a well- appointed English family. I cannot tell you more now. Go and see for yourselves. Ytou'll see strange sights. hear wonderful stories. meet char-ming people, and do many things you deemed impossible before you left home. My space is up. I wish you all well in your first year book. ani proud of your record in school and sport, and have much enjoyed my work on the Board. to carry on. as we Britishers have a way of doing.

The boys and tthe girls met in the school at seven-thirty. and proceeded to the rink. where an hour an-d a half of excellent skating was enjoyed by all present. Following this, a delicious supper was served in the domestic science ro-om. under the supervision of Miss Higgins and Miss Strang. who proved themselves excellent cake servers and cocoa manufacturers. After this worthy spread, the majority of the students returned to the rink and skated till ten o'clock, when tihe gathering dispersed. after an evening full of fun.

Collegiate, rah! rah! rah! Strained throats. glowing -cheeks. young voices through the long corridors of our own G. C.-Y. I.-what do these things mean to us? Simply. the school-spirit which retlects the fun and comradeship of school-days. And what does a school-spirit do for us? First. it instills into the mind of the first former the idea of sportsmanship. The idea expands. and by the time the boy or girl leaves the school. some four or five years later. he or she would do much to keep the shadows of discredit from it. Next. the school-spirit invariably cheers those pupils who are prone to pitch their tents on the north side of life. Most sc-hools have these. we are no exception. Surrounded by enthusiasm. loyalty and friendliness the morbid outlook disappears. To conquer it. what an accomplishment! A school-spirit gives vivacity to the entire district. If the school is. say. the only colleg- iate institute in a town or small city. its in- fluence will do much in livening up all acti- vities. Our own does. too much. some outsiders may say. but after all one can't go far wrong with the guidance. tor similar guidancel. we so fortunately have. The school spirit exemplified in each girl and boy might say: I would give my laughter to the world-not tears. I would give faith and ho-pe-but never fearg Though easier far to mourn and dread. I know, On-ly the soul that smiles can upward go.

B. ii What a Trip! fThe following is an account by XYesley McYiear and Gordon Young. two ex-students, of their trip from Springfield, Mass.. to Guelph. in a Ford Roadster! Herein are disclosed for the first time the startling adventures of six young men on their trip from Springfield. Blass., to Guelph, Ont. For six young men to make such a long trip necessitated. of course. a large car. with sleeping. dining and smoking quarters. With these essentials in mind we procured, for the stupendous sum of 335. a Ford roadster. By knocking off the rear end and erecting a truck body with a tent on top we had sleeping quart- ers for three, and then of course there was plenty of room in the front for the other three, Fight valises and suitcases were suspended by divers methods from the sides of the car. and adorning it was the usual chalk artistry that decorates such caravans. We set sail from Springfield on Friday af- ternoon at 5 p.m., March l9th, l926, with a roll of tape to be used for emergency repairs. Outside of Springfield are the Berkshire Hills, and just beyond them are the Lebannon Mountains. Talk about your Canadian snows, on a level with the wow! The drifts were top of the car, one way traffic. please. XYhen we did meet a car we Lizzie to the side and had to pull our old stand the car on its rear wheels. Going up hill steadily for eight hours, in low, through deep snow. is no fun. The old engine fumed and sputtered. but when- ever we got out to shove we stuffed snow down the radiator cap. At last we reached the top of the moun- tains and started to descend. The first thing we hit was a three mile hill, The water was running down the ruts with a sheet of slip- pery ice beneath. Since we had no c-hains on we might just as well have -been on skis. XVe had just begun to gather speed when an igni- tion wire iuniped loose and the lights went out and we went plunging down the hill in the dark. Then all at cince the car took a fiying leap and left the ruts and started to go up hill again. i XYe never had a tail light all the way, and we passed more than one cop and never got 'p'inched. At one time the three boys in the rear got out to push, and when the car gathered speed they were left behind. They were five miles back before they were finally discov- ered to be missing. Everyone had wet feet 'by this time, and consequently, those in the rear were rather uncomfortable, due to the fac-t that t-heir wet feet sticking out of the rear end began to freeze. Ou Saturday night we hauled more than .twenty cars out of the ditches in as many minutes. Wie never went for more than fif- teen miles without pulling some car out of a ditch. :Xt three o'clock on Sunday morning our There were only three lights burned Out. I hours to daylight. so we decided to drive on. Can you imagine how nerve-wracking it would -pitch darkness over an only the snow-banks to be to drive through unknown road, with guide you? Later in the day we ran into a heavy fog. The moisture froze on the wind-shield. mak- ing it al-most impossible ,to see out, but just the same we travelled fast, for the road was good. Speeding along 'through the fog at fonty per. we hit a sheet of ice. The car whirl- ed around two telephone poles, described a dizzy circle and skidded to a stop, still facing in the original direction. NVe had a little difficulty in getting across the border. but with the exercise of a little diplomacy, all objections raised by the offici- ous customs officers were overcome. The roads from Niagara Falls to Guelph were in excellent condition, and consequently the remainder of the trip was uneventful. VVe arrived home in time for sup-per on Sunday evening, Forty-eight 'hours of strenuous driv- ing is certainly a good appetizer. On Sunday, March 28th. 1926, we set out on the return tri-p to Springfield, rain or shine, weatiher permitting. And that's ,thatl 'VVesley McVicar Gordon Young'
