Lieut.-Col. john McCrae, Student of G. C. I. 1883-1888. We are deeply indebted to Ronald Walker, of the Maltric. Class, of last year, for the heading of our Alumni column. Ronald is enrolled in a two years' course at the Central Technical School, Toronto, and has already at- tained considerable renown in that in- stitution. At the recent bazaar held there, he was chosen from his whole class to do the silhouette and portrait work. Continued success to our art- ist! We expect. to hear more of him in the future. Who can tell what fame may be won by some of the present students? Eddie Johnson, renowned tshe world over as t.he greatest living tenor, but a few years ago was labouring like us at Geometry, His-tory and such in the sacred precints of the old G. C. I. The G. C. I. has always numbered among its teachers several of its ex- studentts. The following have been con- nected with the school in both capacit- ies: Frank J. Hughes, M.A., L.L.B.g W. J. Dobbie, M.D.g Kate C. Skinner, B.A. tMrs. H. Howittlg Daisy Taylorg W. G. Scrimgeour, M.A.g Sara Blythg Rowena Humphries, B.A., Ernest Worden, B.A., Myrtle Fritz tMrs. Wm. West, Wind- sori, Elsie Shaw tMrs. A. Brooks, Wel- landj, Margaret Pigott, Ella Sinclair, B.A., XVil1na Humphries, B.A., Margar- et McDonald, Hugh Stanley, B.S.A. Of interest to the Alumni and the students. is the following message from Helen Lay, the Lit. President of 1924-25: 'SAS one of the graduates of last year, I am sure I may say without ex- aggeration that we welcome the first appearance of Acta Nostra with feel- ings of more than mere pleasure, for its publication is the concrete realiza- tion of one of our pet dreams. 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. So here's to long life, growth, and prosperity to Acta Nostra and heartiest congratulations to the editor and his staff. May they and their successors keep up the good work for many successful years. HELEN T. DAY. Helen is studying music at home this year.
