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.
