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. ' ' ELSIE MASSON Winner of john McCrae Scholarship S1,l00.00g also Moses Henry Aiken Scholarship in Her many warm friends, whom her unassuming manner and sterling char- acter have won for her during her five years at the Collegiate, will follow her future career with deep interest. Carter Scholarships FRANCIS LAMBTON, winner of the First Carter Scholarship for Welling- ton County, entered our Collegiate in the III Junior Form three years ago. and has been a consistently good work- er throughout. He is a boy who shines in mathemaitics, science, history and languages. Last year he did not begin work in Upper School English until after Easter, and yet he obtained a First in both Literature and Com- position. ln all he obtained ten Firsts and had he entered for Uni- versity Scholarships, would doubtless have ranked high in such awards. His goal, however, is S. P. S. HELEN DAY. the winner of the Second Carter Scholarship has taken her whole five year course in our Col- legiate Institute, has ranked first in general proficiency in three of those years, and last year obtained nine firsts in the Upper School Examina- tion. NVe may say that Helen was also the efficient President of the Literary Society of '24-'25, and served on num- erous social committees. . nderwoocl Awards, I 924- I 92 5 Silver Medals QSpee4l 50-603 Helen Gallaher, Marian Grindlay, Elsie Marion Grindlay, Eve Neisch.
