To the students and advertisers have given very generously. Our magazine was backed by a grea- ter number of firms than ever before. For them we solicit your patronage. The Acta Nostra tea dances.'the Pop- corn Hop and the Spring Fling . held in the auditorium Ianuary 21 and April ll respectively. were very successful. thanks to the whole-hearted support of the students. In tlosing we wish to thank the mem- bers of the teaching stall. the form rep- resentatives and all those who have so unsellishlv devoted their time and ener- ffv toward thc success of this vear's book.

The principles of a way of life which we fought to preserve have been preserved. and all over Canada-in schools, chur- ches. and city squares-mem:mrials to the boys who died to preserve those principles have been set up, and will always serve to remind us that even though these principles be threatened again and again. there is a power be- hind them which cannot be destroyed. Guelph Collegiate has an honour roll of which it may well be proud, and the memory of the boys whose names appear on it is written indelibly in the hearts of many Guelphites. But perhaps we need some more tangible memorial of that great sacrifice. After the last war. a plaque bearing the names of all who served was hung in the Collegiate. Perhaps a similar plaque would again be suitable. But there is a new idea in circu- lation. For years. Guelph has felt the need of a suitable hall in which tir hold assemblies, debates, festivals, con- certs. and dramatic productions. The College Memorial Hall is excellent. but too small for many purposes, and the acoustics in the Collegiate auditor- ium render it quite unsatisfactory. The Board of Education has been toying with the idea of building a new hall for some time. Such a building. were it constructed on the Collegiate grounds. might contain not only an auditorium with large. comfortable seating capa- city, and stage arrangements. but might replace the gym in the old school and have such conveniences as new shower rooms ,etc. Admittedly, that's a big project, but if we start with the hall, we can add all sorts ol frills later. XYould not such a structure. in which the democratic principles of sportsmanship and freedom of assembly would be practised, be a fitting and worthy memorial to the boys who learned the demotratit way of life at this institution. and who made the su- preme sacriiice that it might be pre- served? And in these troubled times, when our freedoms again seem threa- tened from many corners of the earth, would not such a memorial be a living symbol of the principles which they died to preserve and which we shall continue to safeguard? However. to many. this idea sounds impractical, They consider it too ex- pensive. and indeed. lor the students alone it would be. Yet if the entire tity were to band together and create this living memorial to those whose ideals will go on living, the project could he easily carried out. If the Board ol' Ellllfllllfll. the city's indus- tries. stores. and other enterprises. wo- men's and men's clubs. would all con- tribute, no one would have to carry the burden alone, as someone will eventu- ally have to do otherwise. But il is the responsibility of the students now at Collegiate, in return for the privileges of demzrcratic educa- tion which we enjoy. to take action in this matter. XVe have many. many means of raising funds: dances. plays, concerts, or even a general collection. and there is nothing to stop us frain spreading our enthusiasm by going out and canvassing for support in this pro- ject. Let ust take action. remembering that if we believe in a thing, we can make it exist. -Betty Campbell, XIIA
