L To Uur Readers We all know that the success of the Vox de- pends largely on the amount of advertisements, with this fact in mind we take this opportunity of calling to your attention the present financial condition and business slump which, for many months, has been prophesied, but is now keenly felt in business circles. lVlany of our regular advertisers have found it im- possible to advertise in this issue: so that at the outset the publication of this issue was very doubtful. How- ever, through the untiring efforts of those interested in our magazine, it has been made possible. We cannot impress upon ourselves too strongly the fact that we must read the advertisements, patronize our advertisers and above all mention the Vox. ln this way, and this way only, may we insure the future success of our school paper.

HULL, Editor-in-Chief. ln view of the fact that this number is dedicated to our City, it might be of interest to our readers to know something of the early history of Hamilton. The first white man known to have visited the site of our present city was La Salle, who in l609 with a band of daring companions, landed on the shore of the bay at a spot near where the Grand Trunk station now stands. Unfavorably impressed by the rough nature of the surrounding country, how- ever, La Salle made but a short stay in this place, departing easterly toward Lake Erie. ' Nothing further regarding the early history of the city is recorded until l778, when Robert Land, with his wife and family, settled here, building his cabin near what is now the corner of Vventworth and Barton Streets. Follow- ing the advent of Land there came a small but steady stream of immigrants, which soon swelled the population of the little village, By the end of the eighteenth century the small settlement proudly boasted a tavern, a school and a Masonic Hall. A steady growth followed, until, in ISI 3, George Hamilton, with evi- dent foresight and faith in the future of the tiny village nestling beneath the brow of the mountain, laid out his farm in town-lots. After him the town was named and he became its first mayor. From this date onward, the growth of the city was phenomenal. The population increased by leaps and bounds, while the industrial and commercial expansion was most marked. A fitting climax to one hundred years of happiness and prosperity was the Centennial celebration, held in l9l3. How many of us, young though we were, can forget the carefree revelry and whole-souled enjoyment of that memorable week. fl Easter V O X L Y lf E I 1921 And so, dear readers, we are sure that you will agree with the sentiments of the following poem, written expressly for your magazine by one of the most respected and popular members of the faculty: The mountain looks on Hamilton, Hamilton looks on the bay, And musing there, one hour, alone, l said, Let come what may, There is no fairer city ln this broad land to-day! E. lVl. PRICE ADVANCE It is with genuine regret that the staff of this issue has been forced to raise the price from twenty-five to thirty cents per copy. While this advance may at first seem to be excessive, we are sure that when our readers are made familiar with the reasons, they will grant us their indulgence. The present business chaos is a subject with which all are doubtless familiar. Inasmuch as this condition directly affects advertising activities, and the latter directly affects the publication of our magazine, since without advertising matter the publication of the Vox would be impossible from a financial standpoint, our position has been made most difficult. Our business department has found it impossible to secure sufficient ad- vertising to complete that quota of the necessary revenue which is usually derived from the above source. The only remaining way in which this deficit can be met is through an advance in subscription prices. The five cent ad- vance which has been made, is, to the average student, only a small matter, but to the Vox this amount on the seven or eight hundred copies sold means the difference between financial success or failure. Should the Vox be sold for what it costs to produce it, less the advertis- ing section, the cost per copy would be approximately seventy-five cents. Thus, in view of the above named circumstances, we feel that the sup- port of our student body will be forthcoming and that this issue of the Vox will enjoy just as great a sale as those previous issues which sold for a lower price. . .ml- OUR CONTRIBUTORS It is with great pleasure that we welcome to the columns of this issue our principal, Mr. B. Turner. Mr. Turner has, in his article, outlined a great many phases of the life at the Collegiate, both past and present, which will be of decided interest to the student body. .,,, Easter V O X Ii Y l' E I 1921 Another name which is by this time familiar to the readers of the Vox and which again, in this issue, appears above the prize essay, is that of Miss Rhena Mcllroy. Miss Mcllroy is a writer of no mean ability, and in more than one Vox have her stories appeared. ln all her writings she displays a wealth of imagination and a fluent command of English that make her stories of more than ordinary interest. Always a welcome visitor to the columns of the Vox. The prize poem in this number is the very creditable effort of Miss lrene Cole. Miss Coles verse is marked by an individuality of style, a freedom of expression and a depth of thought that renders it indeed delightful. It is certainly encouraging to note the interest which the members of our faculty continue to take in the Vox. Again we have with us Mr. Collins, UOur Poet. We thank him for his delightful contribution, and assure him that a hearty welcome always awaits him in the issues of the Vox. Other contributors whose work has helped to make our issue a success include Frank Smye, whose interesting pen sketches of the scenes Behind the Scenes will be read with keen enjoyment. lt is a pleasure to welcome again to these columns one who has filled many positions on previous Vox staffs. H, Lightstone is the talented contributor of the poem And He Did. This young poet is a new member of the Vox list of literary visitors. We hope that future issues may also be favored with his work. THE HOODOO Although space has been given in another section of the magazine, to the recent play, it is too great a temptation to resist giving a few words of con- gratulation here. First, let the thanks of the entire school go out to the three directors, Messrs. Collins, Morrison and Foucar. These gentlemen, at cost of their time and energy, devoted themselves whole-heartedly to the work in hand and are deserving of the highest praise. To the cast too much credit cannot be given. The work which they have done at both performances has been a kind that many professional companies could not better. Well done, Hoodooites! May you long remember the glad times entailed in the production of the Collegiate play, February l8th and March 9th, l92l. For the boys who so kindly gave their assistance back-stage is also due a word of thanks. They did their part just as well and just as thoroughly as did those on the stage, and although unseen, their work is appreciated. 23 Easter V O X L Y C E I 1921 THE TRACK-MEET It is with great pleasure that we have seen the arrival and passing of that event, an event which has long been the earnest desire of many of those attend- ing the Collegiate-the International lnterscholastic Track-Meet. To be able to compete in friendly rivalry with a representative group of athletes, such as is that of the Baltimore school, is indeed a privilege that the Collegiate teams have not passed over. Such an event stimulates interest, not only in the athletic doings of our neighbors across the border, but in their scholastic affairs as well, for on their visit here athletics was not the sole topic, their general school life entering often into the conversation. Again we say that such an opportunity to exchange ideas and to Ucom- pare notes with teams from schools in the States is one that should not be missed, and in the near future the Vox hopes to see these international inter- scholastic contests become annual affairs. CADET PICTURE The very keen sense of disappointment, which has doubtless been felt by all, regarding the failure to publish in this issue a picture of the Cadet of- ficers, is sincerely regretted by the staff. Owing to the limited time at our disposal and the non-arrival of the officers' uniforms, we found it impossible to delay publication until the photo could be taken. For this we are truly sorry, as we consider that there is no group in the school more worthy of space in our columns than the officers of such a fine organization as is our Cadet Corps. We trust that in the next issue these officers may be given the honor which they so richly deserve. AN APPRECIATION The Lyceum desires to express to Alderman Stamp and ex-Hydro Com- missioner Nelson its sincere thanks for the material assistance which they so thoughtfully rendered in connection with the advertising of the second presen- tation of The Hoodoo ' at the Grand, March 9th, l9Z l. :ti Easter V O X lr Y C E I 1921 STAFF PICTURE Three familiar faces are lacking from this issue's staff picture, namely, Messrs. Simpson and Morrison and Major George R. Allan, jr. Owing to the inability of our business Supervisor and our Counsellor to be present, and the illness of our editor of Cadets, we were unable to include their pictures in the group. We regret very much that these three popular members of our staff are not in the picture and hope that in the next issue their pictures may appear. We reproduce below, however, a small photo of our genial Cadet com' mander, as he appeared in our Christmas issue. THE ISSUE ln regard to the literary and business work on this issue, we desire to ex- press our sincerest thanks to the entire staff for the strong and efficient support which they have given, reducing the work of the editors to a minimum. To the staff artist, Bert Glukes, goes the credit for the cover of the Hamilton Number. The artist has reproduced the seal of the city of Ham- ilton with careful attention to detail and has combined it with the rest to form a most creditable cover design, Thanks are also due our literary and business supervisors and our two counsellors for the active interest which they have taken in the production of this number.

URING the last term, the Lyceum realizing that one of the primary objects of the organization is the encouragement cf public speaking, organ- ized a Debating League among the rooms of the Junior and Senior Third Forms. lt has been some years since such a league has been in vogue, and the result was very gratifying. At date of writing, two de- bates have been held. lt was considered that topics relative to school matters would be more interesting and would allow for more animated discussion. This sup- position proved correct. The disputants in both debates entered into the spirit of their topics with vim an-:l ngustof' The first controversy, Resolved, that the School Hours should be from Eight to One O'cloclc, was between Rooms T3 and TZ, the former room holding the affirm- ative, and the latter maintaining that the hours were quite satisfactory, as they are at present. T3 was represented by Miss jean McLaughlin and Bert Challen: T2 by Miss Norma Whelan and Nelson Mc- Farlane. The decision was awarded to the negative. The second discussion was, Resolved, that Examinations should be Abolishedf' Room Tl represented by Harold Roberts and Miss Grace Taylor, upheld the affirm- ative: C. l... Duff and Miss Helen Gardner for room I3, the negative. It was plainly seen that the members were heartily in accord with the policy of utter abolition of examinations and thoroughly appreci- ated the gruesome pictures of nerve- wrecked students which were presented to their mindis eye by the affirmative. The decision was awarded to the advo- cates of abolition, Ar a recent meeting a Mock Parliament was held. The War Memorial Bill was introduced by the Minister of Finance, the Hon. C. R. Allan, Jr. The bill levied a taxfin reality a voluntary subscriptionl. of fifty cents upon all pupils of the school, for the erection of a tablet to commemor- ate, in bronze, the glorious sacrifice of the sixty-five pupils and old boys of the H. C. l. who laid down their lives that civilization might survive. At the time of writing, subscriptions are being received. All seem to realize that it is not only a duty but a privilege, to subscribe. As soon as subscriptions are complete, work on the memorial will be proceeded with. A Constitution. in Regard to the 'Vox Lycei,' was presented before the House by the Hon. Ed. Hull, on behalf of a Special Committee appointed by the Presi- dent of the Privy Council, to consider the matter. After a discussion and one minor amendment, the bill was carried on division. Since it does not appear in the official records of the Dominion House, part of it appears in another section of this ISSUE. The elections for the Easter issue of the Vox were, as usual, much more tame than those for the preceding issue. Candi- dates for the various positions were per- mitted to address the electorate, and their campaign speeches proved worthy of sea- soned politicians. Continued on page 55. iSfQ'l' .

Left alone, Nlarie made elaborate prep- arations, she Filled her fountain pen, sharpened two lead pencils, found a fresh blotter, attached the study lamp ready for use, and finally, with the light of deter- mination in her eyes, opened her note- book at a clean page, and settled to work. ln the silence that followed, the little clock glanced across the room in a friend- ly fashion. lsn't it a glorious clay, she remarked, with a conciliatory jerk of her minute hand. But the big clock was not to be ap- peased. Your'e fast, you know you are, he asserted violently, and anybody but a Highty foreign clock like you, would admit that the sun exercises the most powerful inliuence in nature. On you, perhaps, interjected the little clock, scornfully. On everything, declared the big clock, rashly.

He ticked on in meditative rhythm for a few seconds, then as a lengthening beam of sunlight spread across the carpet, a bright idea occurred to him. With a tri- umphant chuckle, he telegraphed a swift little message to his chief. the sun, and- Nlarie sighed restlessly, threw herself back in her chair, and impatiently bit the end of her pencil. Now, what was l going to say? she murmured, with a puzzled frown, l'm sure l don't know. As she glanced about in search of inspiration, her eye was ar- rested by a gleam of sunlight illuminating the title of a new book. The temptation was irresistible: down went the pencil, and two minutes later she was absorbed in the book. Half-past ten, struck the little clock soberly, and Half-past ten, sounded the big clock, with the conscious pride of one who has proved his point. How about the power of the sun now? he inquired grandly, nl told you l'd show you. Marie closed the book with a long sigh, uttered a dismayed exclamation at the Easter Y 0 X lateness of the hour, and with a despairing glance at the few lines on her paper, went slowly to her room. l'm sure l don't know why l looked at that book, she thought despondently, as she dropped off to sleep. What shall l do in the morning?' ln the den, the little French clock glint- ed appealingly up at the moon- Marie opened her eyes with a start. She was standing by a window at the back of Room ll: she was alone, but judging by the sounds overhead, would not be so for long. Nine o'clockl she exclaimed, glanc- ing at her watch, and nobody here yet. This is a fine state of affairs. They'll be clown any minute now, a silvery voice startled her by replying. She turned swiftly, and there, balancing itself daintily on the window-ledge, was the minute hand of her own little French clock. The new cloak-rooms and auditorium for chapel are on the third floor, it ex- plained obligingly, paying no attention to her start of surprise. That's a good idea, approved Marie, but what will they say to me for not going? 'ish-h! Here they come, was the re- ply, just slip me in your pocket and you'll be invisible. She had barely time to obey when the door was opened and Mr. Morris entered, followed by the class. Translate first, Dave, began lVlr. Mor- ris, when they were settled for work. Robinson arose, picked up his book, and with easy self-assurance, and graceful, appropriate gestures, read a page and a half of Cicero's speech Pro Lege Manila. Very well handled, Mr. Morris com- mented. Go on, Allan! Allan complied promptly, and with mili- tary precision and perfect equanimity, con- tinued two rnore pages of the oration. Utterly astounded, Marie stifled a wild desire to laugh, and clutched the little hand in her pocket with incautious haste. lnvoluntarily she cried out at the sharp prick it gave her, and the whole scene vanished instantly from her sight. li Y 1' E I 1921 She found herself walking down a spac- ious halllwith the Biology class. They halted before a door marked Botany, and Mr. Morrison admitted them to a large, airy room, flooded with sunshine. and equipped with every modern conveni- ence in the line of microscopes, specimens and books of reference. Marie gasped with surprise and delight. but the class took their places in a man- ner which proclaimed them to be entirely accustomed to their ideal surroundings. When the period was over, Marie, urged on by her own curiosity, and en- couraged by a friendly prick from the guiding hand in her pocket, followed Mr. Morrison into what proved to be the zoology class. Like the Botany room, it was large and sunny, and furnished to meet every requirement of the work. Mr. Morrison looked about him with an air of satisfaction, flicked an imaginary speck of dust from a shining specimen case near by, and then proceeded to the next room. Marie followed him eagerly, through the Physics Lab., with- its convenient desks and up-to-date electrical fixtures, the Chemistry Lab., which was spotlessly clean and faultlessly equipped, to the last of the suite, the Mineralogy room, whose walls were lined with shelves of rare speci- mens. And as Mr. Morrison locked the last door behind him, his face wore the expression of a man whose dreams have come true. Then in quick succession she attended a History class taught by Mr. Mccarvin, who illustrated his lesson by the use of a profusion of maps which fitted convenient- ly into the side of the wall, and rolled up like so many window blinds: and a Mathe- matics class, in which Mr. Simpson dem- onstrated his patent method of inscribing circles. Passing out of Room I3, she no- ticed, fastened just under the telephone, what appeared to be a small black box. Above it was tacked a neat card, bearing the following limerick:- There was a young person named Hull, Who once said he found school life dull. Now he edits the Vox, and his raven- black locks, Top a brain that oft longs for a lull.

N keeping with the general tone of this issue, a tone that spells originality, we mention here a few names of men who at one time attended the Hamilton Collegiate lnstitute. They, being citizens of the world's highest type, we are justly proud in hailing them as alumni of our school. Sir John C-ibson, former l..ieut.-C-over- nor of Ontario, and now a most prominent citizen of our fair city: Major-General Sir S. C. Mewburn, former Minister of Militia: Major-General Logie, Justice of the Su- preme Courtg Dr. C. V. Roman, one of Americas foremost medical authorities all attended old H.C.l. in former years. james Chisholm, the man, who in the mam, is responsible for the fine painting ot ex-Principal john Buchan, that hangs in the assembly hall. and F. W. Brennen gained their early education here. Both these men have taken an active interest in the school by donating medals to be contested for yearly by honour-year pupils. B. A. Cahoe and Norman De Witt, whose names appear on the tablet in the assembly hall as being winners of the First Proficiency and Prince of Wales Scholarship in successive years, are our alumni. The former is now a renowned surgeon in the Johns Hopkins Hospital, Baltimore, Md., and the latter is professor at Victoria College, Toronto. Other illustrious graduates of our school are judge Duff and judge Cauld, both well-known administrators of jus- tice, and Professors Adam Carruthers, T. Crawford and Charles Fields, of Tor- onto University. The first-named profes- sor is the man partly responsible for the High School Latin Composition Book now in use, and Prof. T. Crawford is wholly responsible for the High School Algebra, now in vogue. A. McDonald, former editor of the Toronto Globe, P. Bell, general manager of the Bank of Hamilton. and Senator E. D. Smith, were former stu- dents at this institution. And last, but not least, our principal, B. Turner, and W. M. Logan, former classics master here, are both old boys of this school. This list is far from complete, but it serves to show the prominence of our ex- students. May we, the present members of this fair institute, when graduation comes, go forth into the world and do as they, that have gone before us, have done and may we accomplish deeds that will cause a future generation to point to us with pride and say: He belongs to the alumni of Hamilton Collegiate lnstitutef' Now, for our more recent graduates. Bob Ogilvy, winner of the Carter Schol- arship last year, Nig Philpott and H. A. Peacock are at McGill University, Mont- real. Our quota of would-be doctors at Toronto University this year is fairly large, and includes Gordon Sinclair, Co- burn Campbell, T. A. Sweet, M. Webb, Harry Peart and Albert Cries. Those taking Arts at Toronto are Keith Waldron, ex-president of the Lyceum: Harry Wright, editor-in-chief of Christ- mas l9l9 Vox: Harry Mutchmore, Leon Smith, R. S. Chaffe, W. Canary, R. H. Perry, H. M. Vance. C. Attridge and Fred Waddell: also the Misses Nlargaret Wing- field and Maud johnson. Ralph Biggar is in his hrst year at Os- goode Hall, Toronto.

Beck, B.A. Assistant Treasurer-Harry Hannon. Committee-Messrs. E.. S. Hogarth, B. A., W. K. Foucar, lVl.A.: A. E.. Hogarth, N. Walker, F. lVlcKelvey, l. Francis. An important change in the official staff of the Association will be noted. The position of president, in future, is to be occupied by a member of the faculty. This change was made in order to make the athletic body more responsible to the prin- cipal of the school. A forward step was taken by the Ath- letic Association when it decided to de- velop and encourage all manner of ath- letics possible. Many students have left our halls in years past, who were unable to obtain distinction and honour as ath- letes, insomuch as the desired opportunity was lacking. Now the door of opportun- ity is wide open to all who are in a posi- tion to grasp the advantage. The addi- tion of the track and field team to our major athletics provides ample opportun- ity for every ambitious student to obtain the coveted Letter of the H.C.l. By the enthusiasm and interest display- ed by the students during the past year in the varied events which have occurred, that long lost esprit de corps has at last ccme into its own. May it continue to in- crease with never-ceasing fidelity. The spirit is here. Let us retain it. The basketball team was late in round- ing into shape. lt was not until after Christmas holidays that aspirants to catch places on the reps turned out to prac- tice. lVlr. Percy Dodson accepted the po- sition of coach at the commencement of the season and certainly taught his ath- letes many fine points of the game, which they frequently demonstrated at every struggle. The games and results: Reporter for Basketball-Harvey Hall. St. Catharines C.l. 30 vs. H.C.l. 26. The first game of the season was played at home with St. Catharines C.l. Collegi- ate started the game checking hard and numerous fouls resulted, mostly in favor of St. Kitts. During the first five minutes play was even, then St. Kitts made a spurt and took a commanding lead. But with a few minutes to go Collegiate come to life and almost evened the count. The half ended with H.C.l. one point down in a I6-I5 score. ln the second half both teams attempt- ed to gain an early lead, but failed. First the score was tie, then St. Kitts broke away, tie again, and then Collegiate forged to the front. With but Five minutes to go Developing and Printing you will like, HILL'S, 90 King West.

I5 This is the first American team that has ever entered Hamilton to compete against the H.C.l. While making a sched- uled trip to Niagara Falls, the team from across the border favored us with an ex- hibition game on the large Y gymnas- ium. Although the large crowd that wit- nessed the battle was disappointed with the outcome they declared that it was a won- derful game. When play commenced it looked as though the teams were evenly matched, but Rochester soon broke away, and with short, snappy passes and bril- liant combination, they were peppering the H.C.l. basket from all sides. Hannon, our regular defence man and captain, suf- fering from a twisted ankle, was greatly missed by his team. At half time the score stood 20-8 in favor of Rochester. ln the second half Collegiate again got off to a good start and for a time checked their opponents with success. The Har- rington-Uhlin combination of the visitors completely dazzled the reps, who show- ed lack of combination and practice, many passes being intercepted and turned into goals for the visitors. After the bombard- ment had ceased and the sky had cleared of cheers the Americans were on top 47- IS. Collegiate were hopelessly outclassed from the start. The East High team is a wonderful working machine, their pass- ing, shooting and checking being of the very.best variety. It would take teams of senior calibre to beat them. Although the reps were badly beaten it was not a disgrace. Every man on the team work- ed hard from beginning to end. Not a person left the Y but expressed his Ii Y l' E I 1921 opinion that it was the best game staged in many a day by the Collegiate. The refereeing was a huge success at every turn. Bert lVlcKay handled the whistle to the entire satisfaction of all. The line- up: East High-Forwards, Uhlin, Boyce and Harriman: centre, Roberts: defence, Rapp, Hill and Brugler. H.C.l.-Forwards, Willard, Lloyd and Laiclman: centre, Robinson: defence, Pick- ard, Maier and Allan. H.C.l. 37 vs. Brantford C.l. 22. Our first victory of the season happen- ed away from home, when we took a fall out of B.C.l. The game followed a pre- liminary between the girls' teams from the two schools. Throughout the evening both schools exchanged their pet yells: but the victory of the rooters must go to Bert Challen, leader of the H.C.l. Root- ers' Club, and his band of ear-splitting screechers. Collegiate's superiority was evident from the start and in the first half they simply walked away from their op- ponents who seemed to lack a sense of touch, or an eye for the basket when they did smother a ball. At the end of the half Collegiate led by I9-6. ln the second half Collegiate loosened their defensive tactics with the result that Brantford began to creep up. However they did not get very far, for the loose de- fence was offset by strong attack which brought an easy victory, Although they outscored the home team by only two points in the final half many opportunities to score were passed up.

The shooting of the reps was far below par and helped them along to defeat Nevertheless the issue was always in doubt until the last five minutes of play. Every time Collegiate scored B.C.l. came back with another, until the final whistle blew, the score reading 30-20 against us. Baldy Laidman, an old boy and for- mer basketball star of the school, filled the referee's position like an old-timer. The line-up: B.C.l. H.C.l, Lambert . , . Forwards , , .

Robinson Ridley College 22 vs. H.C.l. 46 Our old friends and annual rivals from Ridley went back to St. Catharines with a defeat chalked up against them. The teams appeared evenly matched when play commenced. lt was not long before the boys from Ridley were frantically jump- Eustt-1' V U X ing about in a vain attempt to 'keep up to the reps ' speed and combination. With a wide open defence staring them in the face, H.C.l. could not resist piling up the score and practically won the game in the first half with the score 24-I. ln the second half Ridley tightened their defence, but were unable to locate the basket, only about a quarter of their shots counting. Our boys also seemed unable to find the hidden circle. The excitement of the game was all in the second frame when Ridley began to pile up a score, as they fought hard to make the result as light as possible. The line-up: Ridley College H.C.l.

Zl The whole Collegiate team played the return game at St. Kitts absolutely deter- mined to make up for their defeat at home. From the Hrst toss-up until the final bell sounded the team fought stub- bornly. The referee appeared a shade in- capable in handling the whistle, as he usually hesitated in his decision. When these hesitations began to favor Collegiate they were useless, as the game was too near its end. Aside from the foul shots, H.C.l. outscored their opponents l6-l0, which just about indicates the difference between the two teams while in actual play. ln the last half St. Catharines scored only one lone basket while Col- legiate started in to gain a lead. Their sprint came too late. The final whistle blew just as the St. Kitts team began to break and Collegiate was staging a fierce attack. The line-up: H.C.l. St. Catharines C.l. Willard . . . .

Whenever in the game his presence was always a steadying influ- ence to his team-mates and he usually played a brilliant game at defence. Pickard, at defence, has a style all his own. His snap-jump at rebounds from the basket is a sensation whenever he attempts it. Maier plays the game for all that's in it. A basketball is absolutely at home in his hand. At defence, maximum results with minimum effort appears his slogan. Lloyd, the only other member of last year's nundefeatedsf' plays a great game when in good condition. He displays good combination on the forward line. Allan, also a forward, checks back hard and a basket is certain if his opponent ever relaxes his vigilant watch. Willard is small in size, but manages to play pretty combination with his forward- mate. At St. Kitts he showed them all how to drop a basket from all angles. Fowler, at forward, was not given much chance to show his real worth. From all indications he has a sure eye for the basket. Robinson, at centre, plays a hard-check- ing, determined game. When he puts his mind on his work he usually gets excel- lent results. HOCKEY Hockey has enjoyed a more successful season this term than it has for over six years. Although the management en- countered much difficulty in obtaining suitable practice hours at the Arena, nevertheless the team indulged in at least one work-out a week. From the host of material available it was regrettable that a school league of some sort could not have been arranged. If the school had only possessed an out-door rink many clever hockey players could no doubt have been developed, and a successful hockey league formed: as it was, only those who had experience in previous years were able to make the team because of the Easter V O X practice inconvenience. Norman Walker was chosen manager of hockey for the season. From the first he worked hard to bring to light the school's hockey talent. Although many obstacles hinder- ed the movements of hockey, he made a better success of the game than has been known for a number of years past. The ureps' hockey team was compos- ed of the following: Left wing ...... . . Pickard Right wing . . . , . Fowler Left defence . . . . . Caldwell Right defence . . . . Robinson Centre .,... . O'Reilly Goal ..... ................ D TCW Substitutes ...... Tuck, Millar and Brown Old Boys 2, H.C.l. 5 The First game of the season against the Old Boys attracted a large number of fans. From the start the issue was never in doubt. The Old Boys showed lack of team play, while Collegiate combined prettily. The speed of H.C.l. was another factor toward the defeat of the has beens. 1 Ridley 9, H.C.l. I When the team journeyed to Ridley they met real opposition in the husky nfirstsu of the College. The ice condi- tions were bad and the lighting system very poor. ln the lirst period Ridley scored four. ln the second Collegiate sur- prised all present by displaying a sensa- tional brand of hockey, outscoring their opponents I-0. The rest between periods was all that Ridley needed and they came back strong, set a dizzy pace, and made victory safe by scoring Five more counters. Hustlersl, H.C.l. 4 The next game, against Hustlers, was productive of some brilliant plays. At first it looked as though Hustlers had the edge, when they scored the first and only tally of the initial period. After the First rest interval Collegiate came to life, and in the second period checked their oppon- ents incessantly, outscoring them 3-0 on speedy rushes. ln the last session H.C.l. again out-skated and out-checked Hustlers at every turn, although they accounted for only a single point. L Y C E I 1921 The captain of the team and the star centre player was without doubt respons- ible for the good showing of the team. A fast skater, a neat stick-handler, and a brainy centre, john O'Reilly stood head and shoulders above his team-mates. ln each game he put every available ounce of energy into the play, creating that spirit of pep which helps so many teams on to victory. Also, as a member of the St. joseph's hockey team he again increas- ed his status as a star at centre. On account of the surplus of players left, after the seniors had picked their team, an intermediate team was formed. As is usually the case, nothing is visible but the seniors. Accordingly, the Hints were not supported as they might have been during the season. The members of the team, however, still possess the con- solation that next year their chance will come to reverse their role. After several practices had conditioned them, they played home and home games with Dun- das. The results: Dundas l vs. H.C.l. 2. H.C.l. 0 VS. Dundas 4. Tl-IE TRACK MEET Thursday, Nlarch I0, l92l-the date of the lnternational Track Meet-will be a memorable day in the history of events at the old H.C.l. The picked team from Baltimore City College, of Baltimore, Maryland, provided the keenest competi- tion in a most exciting and close race for the posession of the silver cup, donated by the Hamilton Board of Education to be retained permanently by the champions. This cup is emblematic of premier hon- ours in competition between Baltimore and Hamilton every second year. Next year H.C.l. will return the visit. The largest crowd in the records of the school witnessed the affair, over three thousand enthusiasts passing the turnstiles. The programme of the evening was headed by a snappy display of calisthenics by a group of Collegiate boys in gymnas- ium regalia. The almost perfect rhythm of the exhibition was a pleasure to wit- Continued on page 59 . 'Y K ' w l f WHERE OTHERS PICK THE VOX TO PIECES EK- 57 C -- g a Vim X5 A- ..-ff?

Easti-1' V O X li Y 1' 'IG I 1921 I I BEI-ll D THE SCENES I Frank H. Smye. HE great event had arrived at last, February the l8th, a date not histor- ically noteworthy, but histrionically -oh! thatis itl That was the chosen date for the Collegiate play, the social event of the season. That evening the halls were thronged with eager faces, impatiently waiting to see what talent the school har- boured. The gigantic posters had not flared for three weeks, in the halls of the great old school, in vain. The pictures of the cast were ably car- tooned by our talented young artist, Wm. McCullough. Although very hand- some indeed, the picture represents a view, not unlike Miss Nellie jones' bible class, out for a good time. From the ad- vertising, the students expected a play about as humorous as Macbeth, as the posters were tragic, nay-positively pa- thetic. On the largest bill the hero, Brighton Early, was gaily decorated with a pair of bristling moustaches, of which the ex-Kaiser of Germany would have been justly proud. Opposite him, on the same bill, Professor Solomon Spiggot was gifted with a highly intelligent counten- ance, besprinkled with side burns, tortoise- shell glasses, and all the paraphernalia which represented the futurist idea of what a college professor should be. The pictures of the ladies of the cast would have made Harrison Fisher and Sir joshua Reynolds green with envy. Little Ange- lina appeared strangely like one of Raphael's angels about to take wings of the morning and soar through the billowy clouds to a better world. But Aunt Para- dise, yes, poor old Aunt Paradise, was por- trayed strikingly, with cheeks, oh what cheeks. Well, they reminded me of a page out of a doctor's book showing a collo'd lady with a bad attack of the mumps. Yea, verily, the artist had a very poor conception of the cast. ln spite of this. and the fact that our genial business manager, George Allan, refused credit, the seats sold like hot cakes. Cn Friday not a seat remained, that is not a reserved seat for our patrician patrons--as for the plebeian hordes, search the potter's field, er,-rather the rush seats. The dressing rooms were both numer- ous, costly and beautiful. There were two of them. The young ladies had a wonderful salon d'art. It was nicely decorated with numerous etchings and paintings of grapes, angels, horses and other choice objects diart. The gentle- men were assigned a little room, very cosy, l'm sure, with a temperature of about zero degrees absolute. After the leading man 'Andsome QHJ Ed. 'ull as the matinee girls called him, had stepped on Malachi Meek's eyebrows, and kicked Professor Spiggot's side-burns all over the room, he was forcibly ejected and told to seek a better 'ole. Likewise poor Miss Longnecker was exiled from both dressing rooms. She had to find neutral quarters for herself and her evening gowns. lmagine the art student trying to work in such a bizarre atmosphere. lr was Bo- hemian, to say the least. One budding artist was outlining a picture of the Soul of a Lily. just at that moment a coon cook lady passed the door in an elaborate costume of red, yellow and black, garnish- ed with green spots. Another chap, illu- strating C-ray's Elegy in a Country Churchyarcl, saw a bevy of beautiful dam- sels fox-trotting up and down the halls. To use, if l may, a hackneyed expression, such is the irony of fate. The curtain has gone up. A hush falls over the audience. The would-be actors and actresses await their turn, tremb- ling the while, in the wings. Their knees knock together. ln trying to repeat the cue. the old familiar lines fail them. Their tongues are so dry that the words refuse to come. Stage fright for the moment is about to fling its magic spell over the cast. Then looking out from a hole in the cur- tain-yes, there were many-,our actors and actresses see pa and ma and the whole Easter V O X family in the front row of the rush seats. They had paid for all their tickets pro- viding they should applaud in the right places. After being on the stage a few moments, they gained possession of their faculties and made such a hit that even the cattiest person in the audience could not say l told you so, l knew that nut would spoil the show.' While one of the members of the cast was running down to change costumes, Cl wonder who it was?Q, somebody open- ed the glass door in the art room and, like Annette Kellerman, this little actor made a perfect dive through the glass. One of the art students wanted to paint a picture of this little scene and call it Through the Looking Class and What Alice found There. But the scene was copyrighted by Realart Pictures, Ltd. The play went off perfectly. The ap- plause was deafening. Yes, the relations of the cast certainly did their duty nobly. Two catastrophes, however, were witness- L Y C E I 1921 ed by those back stage. Some stage door johnny sent little Miss Longnecker an in- vitation for a little supper after the show. Of course she had to refuse, as she is far too young to be going out with boys. Then Chops Spigot, while looking into the audience to see if his sweetheart was there, lost his balance and only for the kindly aid of his sister, Eupepsia, would have fallen over on top of the orchestra. Chops received a scolding from his mother, Mrs. Spiggot, and was promised a thrashing by his father as soon as they returned home. Some of the cast received bouquets of roses, orchids QPQ, violets, and dandelions. Other members received bouquets, but alas! they didn't smell of violets, Billy jackson received a spray of daffodils and onions. while Aunt Paradise's gentlemen friends sent her a delightful corsage of cabbage, onions, and, the unkindliest cut of all, a piece of garlic. CURTAIN. MOLES IVIENTEIVI AGITAT Continued from page 30 That, explained the little hand, as Marie stopped to laugh, and examined the box curiously, is a dictograph: they are in all the rooms, for the use of members of the Vox and Lyceum staffs who are forced to miss classes. A record of the lesson is taken on a disc, and- just then Ed Hull entered hastily, open- ed the box and removed half-a-dozen rec- ords. nl think this is all l missed to- day, he murmured, l'Il run them off on the Victrola to-night, and slipping them carefully into an envelope, he left the room. And now she was attending a Lyceum meeting in the crowded auditorium. A splendid program was presented, at the conclusion of which, the treasurers of the Vox and Lyceum each reported a large surplus in the bank to the credit of their respective organizations. When she recovered from the shock of this amazing intelligence, she found her- self in the splendid big gymnasium. There, as one of the surging crowd of spectators, she eagerly applauded the various events in an athletic exhibition, in which the contestants covered them- selves and the school with glory. A thrill- ing basket-ball game, won by the H.C.l. in the last two minutes, brought them all to their feet, and the walls re-echoed, as again and again, with wild enthusiasm, they followed Challen's leadership in the old Phi Ki Si. Six o'clock, chimed the little French clock merrily, and Six o'clock, the old Grandfather clock sounded, humbly. The door was softly opened, and Marie entered on tip-toe. Such a wonderful dream, she was explaining happily. l believe l can fin- ish my essay in time after all, and seiz- ing a pencil she began to write. Puzzled, but unconvinced, the big clock looked across at his rival. How did you do it? he asked. For answer, the little French clock pointed one slender hand at the calendar.

HIS column should be written for the New York Sun, as we are chiefly concerned with prophecy and Thr: Prophet is not without honour :ave in his own country. There has nct bein rrtuch activity since the last issue of this pnper, but there is plenty of action pioriiccd for the near future. However, we will First speak of what has taken place. The place of greatest activity has been the rifle-range. Every day, after tour o'clock, the crack of the .22 rifles can be heard in the gallery in the basement. The Board of Education has bought us two new rifles, and good use is being made of them. The teams for the lmperial Challenge Shield Compe- tition are being chosen and we are getting a good idea of where the promising ma- terial for the future lies. Five of the prominent men of this city have established a trust fund and the in- terest from this money is to be used to pay the expenses of the five best shots in the school to the Ontario RiHe Association meet in the summer. Needless to say, there is very keen competition for these places. The Ordnance Department has sent us ten service rifles for outdoor shooting, and as soon as the weather is suitable we will be practising on the ranges at West Ham- ilton. The conditions for practising shoot- ing have improved greatly in this city of late, and there is no reason why the Col- legiate should not be well represented at the rifle meets this summer. The officers ol' the lfth Regiment have been very kind to us in the past, both in allowing us to practice on their ranges and in loaning us rifles. We take this opportunity to thank them and assure them that we will always be truly loyal to the Regiment. Another place where great things have taken place is the Stores Department. Upon the advice of our new quartermastf cr, james Houlden, we asked the Board of Education to fix up the armory. They took hold of the matter with characteristic energy and we now have an armory, the like of which was never dreamed of in this school before. And we might say at this point that the room is not the only excellent part of that department. We have a quartermaster who is absolute per- fection. Speaking of officers' uniforms they play the leading part in the biggest sensation of the year. We have new ones. They are the regulation army officers' material and cut, and are made to order. This year we will have two inspections, one in April and one in May. ln April we will be inspected by Sir Henry Birdsall, lnspector-General of Canada. This will be merely a straight military inspection. Continued on page 60 41 Z Z 5 f 1 Xx - 4 0 Q? F. KORTSMAN, Editor.

What a Hood of sensations surges over one as she thinks back, and ponders what it will mean in the coming years. Who can forget the temerity with which she first crossed the Collegiate thres- hold? lt seemed the gateway of a life so full with promise. Soon the feeling of awe melted into a delightful abandon, and realization of a larger self. A sense of de- liverance from the autocracy of one teach- ed accentuated this sense of abandon, and as each master appeared in turn to give instructions for his class, one felt she had outgrown the narrow confines of the pub- lic school, and had entered into a new world whose boundaries were vaster than of anything yet dreamed. Then election time camel How grown- up she felt to be able to vote and have some say in the government of the Lyceum. This, truly, was her first step towards final independence and self-reli- ance: and to the one who was nominated as candidate, the sense of leadership was born within her soul. Oh these delightful thrills of early Collegiate experience! As in childhood days one climbed a tree, and on reaching the place where the trunk divided, looked out in wonderment among the branches, so. in entering the Collegiate, when one has Finished her First day, and has been introduced to the vari- ous avenues of study, she realizes that she has stepped from the basic rudiments of the Three R's, to the breadth of oppor- tunity, which lies hidden in the world of science and the beauties of the classics. For the first time her initiative, judgment and self-reliance are called into being. But as she goes from year to year, she finds more and more that propriety gentleness and decorum are demanded of her, in place of the irresponsible, but much-loved tom-boy pranks. But the final year has its compensations. One of the most consoling is that growing sense of seniority, which makes her feel she has left behind the swaddling clothes of in- tellectual infancy, and gives her a grow- ing feeling of kinship with her teacher. Now social ideals spring into life and the desire to be the most Winsome type of young womanhood possesses her. This social development is indeed an important factor in a girl's school career. To many it is the last opportunity of living constant- ly in a group of people with kindred ideals and aspirations. Later in the pursuit of her career, the touch of the outside world too soon seeks to tear away these beautiful ideals and flights of fancy of the student life. Thus the real value of her education is her strength of character to maintain these ideals. And so- Be good, sweet maid, and let who will be clever, Do noble things, not dream them all day long: And so make life, death and the vast for- ever One grand, sweet song. W. E..

INGLIS, T. MclLROY, Editors. THE HOODOO N Friday evening, February l8th, I92I, before one of the largest crowds that ever filed into the as- sembly hall, the Hamilton Collegiate Lyceum successfully presented The Hoodoo, a farce in three acts, from the pen of Walten Ben Hare. To say it was a success, is expressing the matter mildly, for according to critics, it was the best and finest amateur theatri- cal endeavour seen in Hamilton for many a year. Much praise is due the directors, Messrs. Collins, Morrison and Foucar, and the clever cast, for the capable way in which the play was presented. The play opens at Mrs. Perrington- Shine's summer home. Brighton Early fE.dward Hull, and Amy Lee fMargaret Hughsonj are about to be married. Billy Jackson fGordon Andersonl, a senti- mental guest, appears to have won the hearts of all the young ladies present, but he pays special attention to Doris Ruffles, A.my's maid of honour flsorna Cowanj. The arrival of Professor Soloman Spiggot, an Egyptologist, and later of Dodo de Craft, an actress, who threatens to sue the intended groom for breach of promise, starts the trouble. ln the second act, Dun, the burglar, is introduced. His talcing ways are the cause of much alarm to superstitious Aunt Paradise. Brighton Early has cleverly represented Dodo as the wife of Professor Spiggot and has thus averted suspicion from himself. The arrival of Semiramus Spiggot, the Professors real wife, results in a strange mix-up. Trouble falls thick and fast on Billy jackson, as he has caused three young ladies to believe that he is engaged to each. Furthermore, Dun has ingeniously cast suspicion on him as be- ing the purloiner of Mrs. lma Clinger's necklace. Ar this juncture the curtain falls. ln the last act the different snares are disentangled. Dodo is revealed as the wife of Dun. Harmony once more reigns su- preme in the Spiggot household. Billy and Doris settle their differences and in- tend to be married on the morrow. As for Brighton and Amy, we see them. as the curtain falls, in each other's arms, happy, at last, after their many tribula- tions. So endeth this tale as many another hath ended- they lived happily ever after. The leads were portrayed by Margaret Hughson and Edward l-lull. Miss Hughson handled her part admirably, winning, by her clever acting and charming personals ity, a warm spot in the hearts of her audi- ence. Cordon Anderson, as Billy jack- son, the heart-brealcer, was splendid, re' vealing himself as an actor of fine ability. Frank Smye, as Aunt Paradise, and Harry Townsend, as Hemachus Spiggot, supplied Easter V U X the humour. Frank, as the colored cook lady, was hilariously funny, keeping his audience rocking with laughter both at his antics on the stage and at his make-up, which was exceptionally clever. Harry, as the unsophisticated youth, Hemachus, also produced much laughter by his droll interpretation of the part. Catharine Rob- inson, as Dodo de Graft, acted a most dif- ficult role in a very acceptable manner, showing herself a performer of no mean ability. Dave Robinson, as Professor Sol- oman Spiggot, was clearly in his element, portraying his part in Finished style. The other members of the cast, each and every one of whom aided toward the excellericy of the production, were as fol- lows: Thora Mcllroy, as Lulu, the maid: Grace Miller, as Angelina Clingerg Ray- mond Shea, as Malachi Meek: Sally Bren- nan, as Mrs. Perrington-Shineg Norma Whelan, as Gwendolyn Perrington-Shine: Marjorie Cornell, as Mrs. lma Clingerg Ormande Barrett, as Miss Longneckerg William McCulloch, as Dun, the burglarg Helen Gardner, as Mrs. Semiramus Spig- got, and lrene Berkley, as Eupepsia Spiggot. For those who shared in the production of the play, whether on the stage or be- hind the scenes, a most enjoyable con- clusion to their respective contributions to the evening's pronounced success was a dainty and much appreciated supper. All the arrangements for this were made and supervised by Thora Mcllroy, who deserves great credit for the effective way in which all the necessary details were combined to produce a very delightful Whole. Supper was served at lI.30 o'clock in the study room, which was tastefully dec- orated in the school colors, red and black. Those present included, in addition to this year's and last year's casts, Principal and Mrs. Turner, Vice-Principal and Mrs. Hogarth, the directors of the play: Messrs. Collins, Morrison and Foucar, to whose able and untiring advice and supervision L Y Q' E I 1921, success was so largely due. Mr. and Mrs. MCC-arvin, Mrs. Foucar and Miss Christie were also present. 'To the latter is due much thanks for her invaluable assistance in the sale of tickets, and for her varied and kindly co-operation. After grace had been said by Principal Turner, the president of the Lyceum, Dave Robinson, extended cordial welcome to the guests. When full justice had been done to the good things provided, Dave Robin- son feelingly expressed the sincere ap- preciation felt by all for the unstinted and effective aid which had been given by the three directors, and as a momento of the happy occasion and token of gratitude, presented each of these gentlemen with an engraved silver pencil. After these gifts had been suitably ack- nowledged by the recipients, the president also expressed the thanks of the Lyceum to Principal Turner for his sympathetic and cordial co-operation, the principal re- plying in a very happy vein. The thanks which all lielt to be due were extended to the stage manager, Warren Lloyd, the electrician, Rouge Caldwell, the business manager, George Allan, the property man, Fred lnglis, and the two stage assistants, Allan Kompass and Al- fred Ward, for the efficient way in which each had contributed to the success of the evening. George Allan was requested to convey the thanks of all concerned to the cadets, who had acted as ushers. Special mention was made of the courtesies gen- erously extended by Mr. Wall, of the Lyric, Mr. Whelan, of The Arcade: Min- den's, Limited, Kent, Garvin and Co., and Mr. Gordon, of the Art School. The supper over, the assembled com- pany enjoyed an impromptu dance in the assembly hall. Since the play this year was such an overwhelming success, may we not hope that a play may be staged by the Colleg- iate students each year, as an annual affair.

It was the occasion of the annual Collegiate At Home-a joyous climax to the weelc's activities. The hall was beau- tifully decorated with the Allied flags, draped in butterfly fashion, and the happy couples whiled away the evening hours to the delightful music of Chamber- lain's orchestra. At times, the hall was brilliantly light- ed, then dimmed for the moonlight waltzes, and again, lighted only by the multi- coloured spot-light. Punch was served at both entrances. During intermission novelties were dis- tributed. Everyone blew a horn, or spun a cracker,-or did both. Some had bal- loons and whistles, while others attempted to make music with humophones. Dancing was then resumed. The lights were dimmed, and, as from a fairy hand, balloons floated down from the sky-light. and the variegated colours when played upon by the spotlight, presented a dreamy spectacle. All too soon the strains of Down the Trail to Home Sweet Home announced the time of departure, bring- ing to a close one of the most successful social events in the school's life. ln con- junction with all those present, it seemed as if the Union -lacks, that had been used as decorations, straightened with the first note of the National Anthem.

Easter V O X L Y U E I 1921 lj WHE OPPORTUNITY KNOCKS ill! :-: -- -- :-: :-:-1:-: :-: :-:a :-: Ross Lymburner AROLD JACKSON thought it hard luck that he should have to be on kick duty at the Ledger office on that Fine evening when The Ledger team clashed with The Times baseball nine. but it was Thursday, and every Thursday he had to stay in the business office from seven to ten in the evening to take care of complaints about the non-delivery of newspapers. Harold really belonged to the editorial department, where he had been office boy for nine months, and kick duty was extra work. Some day Harold hoped to be a reporter and he had already had the pleasure of seeing items which he had written, appear in print on several occa- sions. The Ledger was an evening paper, and so was The Times. As usual, the news- papers were keen rivals. There was a possibility that an extra might come out in the course of the next few days, for the great mine strike, which had almost para- lyzed all industries in Carbonville, stood some chance of being settled. Late that afternoon a conference between the mine owners and the labor leaders had opened in the neighboring town of Shafton, but it was not expected that much headway would be made for a day or so. lf they settle the strike it's certainly worth an extra, Harold had heard the managing editor say to the men on the reporter's staff. Better get down some copy reviewing what started the trouble. the loss in wages and business, and all that. , Harold had taken down the copy later in the day, and he knew that it was al- ready in type. waiting for word of the settlement to come from Shafton. A telegraph messenger came whistling into The Ledger office and tossed a mes- sage to Harold. How's 'kicks.' to-night, he asked, as Harold signed the delivery slip. Light, only five so far. The Ledger carriers are right on the job all the time. just like the telegraph boys. eh? grinned the other. So long, l've got to get down to The Times now-same mess- age, he added with a wink. We'll see that the 'same message' is, thought Harold. lt was an office rule at The Ledger that whoever received a busi- ness telegram must open it at once, and take it to the proper department. It was a Hash message of just three words: Strike settled. Compromise, and signed Bray. Bray was the reporter who was attend- ing the strike convention. He had rushed the bare facts of the big news, and was doubtless getting the details of the settle- ment, which he would telegraph later. It meant an extra--the best kind of an extra, too-one with good news. Harold knew the value of seconds in the case of getting out an extra. He jumped to the phone and called up the managing editor's house. This is The Ledger speaking. l want Mr. Burleson, please. Sorry, came the answer, but he's gone out for an auto ride and won't be back until eleven o'clock. Any message? No, thank you, It will be too late by that time. Harold then called up the city editor's home. Someone said that he had gone fishing. They do not answer, said Centrial, after repeated efforts to get the telegraph editor and the senior reporter. Most of the other members of the edi- torial staff, Harold knew, were at the base- ball game. It was impossible to get in touch with them. Precious minutes had already been lost. The telegraph boy had said: l've got the same message for The Times. It was a clear case of getting beaten on the big story of the year if he waited until he got in touch with one of Easter V O X the editors or reporters. Harold gritted his teeth as he made his decision: The Ledger is going to score this beat: I'll get the extra out myself and beat The Times to the street. He rushed to the composing room and told the men on the night jig to get the forms made up for an extra-the strike was over. ls the story in yet? asked the fore- man. UNO, just the flash. but it's enough for the two seven-column lines, 'Strike Set- tled,' in the biggest type you've got, and underneath, 'Capital and Labor Com- promise.' l'll rush the story down just as soon as Bray wires it in. You'll have to get hold of a stereo- typer and a pressman, warned the fore- man. l guess they're all at the ball game, but our men are not playing, while all The Times pressman are on the team. A sure beat. By good luck Harold found the news- paper wholesaler at home, and in a few minutes newsboys all over the town were being given the tip, Ledger extra coming out. Get down town quick! There was only one way to get a stereo- typer and the pressman from the park in quick time, and Harold did what he knew the managing editor would have done in the same case. He hired a taxi driver who knew the members of The Ledger staff, and sent him off to the park with strict instructions to get the men away quietly, so as to gain a march on The Times. Among his other duties in the editorial rooms, Harold had charge of the photo- graphs and cuts, and he knew that The Ledger had pictures of all the men who were sitting in the conference which had so unexpectedly settled the big coal strike. There were eight of them, four repre- senting the mine owners, and four the workers. Harold gathered all the cuts, L Y U E I 1921 wrote the names of the men underneath, and took them to the composing room to be run in the extra. Over one group he wrote, Fought for the Workers, and over the other, Protected Mine lnterestsf' When Harold returned to the business office, the telegraph boy was just coming in with Bray's second message, the con- densed story of the concessions made on both sides and the terms of the agree- ment which had been signed. The terms, Harold saw at a glance, would be highly popular in Carbonvilleg it would mean a return of old prosperity, and prevent the calling of strikes for a long time. Harold picked out a few important sen- tences from the dispatch and twisted them into suitable headings, then rushed to the composing room with the copy. He saw with delight that the stereotyper and the pressmen had just arrived, and chuckled when told that The Times' men had no inkling of the situation. Meanwhile, a yelling pack of newsboys had started to arrive, and soon a hundred or more were crowding the mailing room, clamoring for the press to start. When it did, and Harold grabbed the first copy of the extra and scanned the flaring head- lines, he had the supreme joy of knowing that once again The Ledger had scored a beat. The boys sold eight thousand copies in two hours. x- we ar- That was a dandy extra last night, said the managing editor next morning. Who got it out? The other desk man looked at him in astonishment. Why, we thought you did. Better ask Harold: he was on 'kick duty,' and he'll know. There was a puzzling frown on the managing editor's face as he went into the next room to see the boy, but a quiz- zical smile when he returned and said: We need a new office boy: Harolcl's junior reporter now.

N educational institution, such as our collegiate institute is, fills a very important place in the city. lts functions are so varied that it is difficult to select just what will be of greatest in- terest to the readers of The Vox. It will not, perhaps, be without interest to the present members of the school to know something of its past. From the old grammer school with one or two masters the institute has had a healthy growth until the present time. ln its early years it was one of the three or four outstanding schools of its kind in the Province, and for that reason attracted students from all quarters. Since that time, however. effi- cient high schools and collegiate insti- tutes have come into existence in every city and town and many of the villages of the province, so that it is not now neces- sary for pupils to go far from home to obtain a high school education. The Hamilton collegiate institute has, perhaps, to a greater extent than any other collegiate institute, exerted an inHuence on the educational progress of the prov- ince. ln the year l895 when the provin- cial department of education determined to have every candidate for a high school teacher's certificate undergo a course of special training, just as had been done for some years previous with candidates for public school teacher's certificates, our lnstitute was selected as one in connection with which this work was to be done, Later. when the value of such professional training was more fully recognized the department of education determined to organize a college for this work and again the Hamilton collegiate institute was selected tnd the normal college was or- ganized and our present building was opened in September, IB97, to accommo- date the normal college as well as the collegiate institute. The two institutions worked together successfully for a number of years. Now again the department of education has asked us to co-operate in the work of training of teachers, so that it is quite within the mark to say that the Hamilton collegiate institute has exerted a powerful influence on the progress of education, not only in our own province, but also in the other parts of our dominion, for numbers of those who received their training in our institute are engaged in the educational work in our western prov- inces. Cn the purely academic side of its work our institute has a very Hne record. Many of our graduates have risen to em- inence. Among these are found outstand- ing figures in industrial and commercial enterprises. ln the professions many have achieved distinction, others have become colloge professors in art, in science and medicine, while others are successful teachers of the youth of our land. Such a record should be an incentive to the pupils of to-clay with their greater oppor- tunities to reach out for still greater achievements. At the time of the founding of the col- legiate institute the courses of study were classics and mathematics, the modern languages and our own language received only slight recognition, while experiments in science were looked upon as something with which to amuse the pupils. Since that time there have been great changes in the courses of study. Gradually there came about an increased interest in the study of English literature and composi- tion, until to-day these subjects, rightly, occupy a leading place in the curriculum. With the changing conditions in indus- try and commerce there came correspond- ing changes in the courses of study. Busi- ness relationships with foreign countries necessitated a more thorough study of the modern languages. The extensive applications of the discoveries of science brought the study of science to the front, so that now a secondary school, that is Eglsfgfl' V O X TJ XY ii l N not thoroughly equipped for the teaching of the different sciences, can not be con- sidered efficient. The latest additions to the courses are manual training and do- mestic science. Art, also, has now an im- portant place in the work of the school. Along with the changes in our courses of study already referred to there came an important change in another direction. It was early recognized that the healthy development of the body is a necessary accompaniment of the development of the mind. To secure this object, courses in physical training were introduced and developed until now this department has a well recognized place in the school. ln this connection it is worth noting that among the students there is a healthy de- sire for clean sports with the result that the Hamilton collegiate institute has an enviable record in sports of all kinds. The Cadet corps is one of the best, if not the best, in the province. An organization somewhat outside the regular work of the school is the Lyceum. This organization has always exerted a healthy influence on the students and gives opportunities for the exercise of talents other than those that find scope for development in the class room. The merit of the limitation of the work of the early days to classics and mathe- matics consisted in the concentration that was made possible thereby and the con- sequent thoroughness with which the work was done. The danger at the present time is in the number of subjects which is re- quired to be taken in any of the courses prescribed, and the possible consequent lack of thoroughness. Only by close atten- tion to the work in the schoolroom and diligent application for a reasonable time outside the school hours can the thor- oughness that it so desirable be attained. The aim of the school is to Fit the pupil for his life work, whatever that may bei the study of this subject or that is merely a means to that end. To reach such pro- ficiency in his studies that the knowledge of them may be of value to him, is of great importance, but it is of even greater im- portance that he shall acquire right meth- ods of work and the ability to think quickly and judge wisely in whatever situation he may find himself. Prompt- ness in the discharge of duty, alertness to discern what is the right thing to do, courtesy to others, are some of the quali- ties the school endeavours to instil so that the pupil may go out into the world not only in possession of valuable knowledge but also imbued with high ideals, for only as his ideals are of a high order can he hope to arrive at the best of which he is capable. T H E L Y C E U M Continued from page 28 The Boys' Chorus this year took the form of a Minstrel Show, and under the capable leadership of Ray Shea and Or- moride Barrett, made a great hit and won golden opinions. The Lyceum. following the custom of the last few years, presented crests and wings to the football team. Mr. E.. S. Hogarth made the presentations on be- half of the Society. The Hoodoo, presented on February lsth, was a great success. The thanks of the Lyceum is extended to all those who helped to make it what it was. The dance, at this date, has not been held, but the committee in charge is striv- ing to make March llth, l92l, a day which will be long remembered by all who attend. To those who have contributed their talent to the success of the meetings we are truly thankful. You have shown the right spirit and we appreciate it.

N that gallery of the imagination where- in are hung the portraits of those fair ladies of fiction and drama, no sweeter, finer or nobler characters can be found than wise Portia, witty Beatrice, or mirth- ful Rosalind: nor can there be found any natures so gentle, meek and so misjudged as those of forgiving Desdemona and sad Ophelia: and yet one of such towering ambition or fatal determination of a Lady Macbeth. Ah, yes! there hangs the wise Portia's portrait. Her gentle face depicts many a fine quality, many a deed of goodness, and her tender smile shines forth as Ha good deed in a naughty world. Portia, if all were like you uchapels had been churches and poor men's cottages princes' palaces. Your generous spirit which never did repent for doing good, your wisdom and enthusiasm, are an inspiration for the whole world. There, in the court, cloaked in the mantle of the law, fired with a holy passion to free your husband's friend, did you reach the very heights of oratorical power when you told the jew that mercy was not strained, and forced him by the law to give up his foul design. Though it would be heaven to stay and look longer at your portrait, time presses and it must not be. Beatrice, you too, instil into the mind a something noble and divine. You have many of the wise Portia's virtues, and though you were to speak all mirth and no matter, one cannot forget that pas- sionate loyalty you showed your cousin when she was foully slandered. Your pic- ture, also, is a precious thing in the gal- lery, but for the present we must move on. Next, photographed in the costume which she wore in the Forest of Arden, stands Rosalind, that sweetest rose which man could ever find. Your happy laughter and sweet tenderness were like some pretty flower in a desert spot, and for those with with you in the wilds, it was a paradise. One look at the shrew, Kate, will suffice: the interest we have in her now is as a perfect wife. Though happy faces are a joyous crea- tion, in this corridor of fame there are also sad ones and so it is now that we come to Desdemona's portrait. O, Des- demona! those tear-stained eyes are sad to look upon: it even seems that your gentle lips tremble their heart-breaking tale. Your lot was a hard one: fair lsa- bella went on her way rejoicing after the sadness she suffered, whereas you had to endure death at the hands of a jealous husband. You too, Ophelia, did suffer much un- happiness, caused by the ranting of that egotistical Hamlet. Two gentle ladies, meek and helpless, at the blows of this cruel world, your fate was harsh but per- haps it might have been harsher had you but lived. At last to Lady Macbeth we turn. Her haughty features express an indomitable spirit and that cruel mouth speaks defi- ance to the world. lt is hard to believe that such a picture could be so near to that of fair Portia, whose gentle mien in- spires the best which is in one. Haughty queen! you may cry to the spirits to thick- en your blood and stop up the access and passage to remorse, but your bloody deeds were well punished and your name lives as a symbol of inhospitable cruelty and unattained ambition. The end is reached, draw slowly down the veil which thus divides the fancies of the mind from the world of realities, and as the curtain softly folds around and hides those queenly figures from the world, remember that though the phantoms fade away they are not lost. A heavenly thing, an imagination gallery is, wherein hang all, both good and bad alike. Easter YHX L YVICI I92 Arknnwlehgvnwnt ,I PRESENTING TO YOL7 THIS, OLTR HAMILTON NUMBER OF THE MYOX LYCEI.

Giving, as it does. a vivid description of a clime different from ours, it will be read with interest. Allenwater, Ont., March 4, l92l. To the Vox Staff: Good luck to your Easter Vox! l hear its going to be an unsurpassable number. lt will be appreciated by this Old Boy, even a thousand miles away. Up here, in Northern Ontario, you get so used to Bush Life that the civilized world seems odd. Here it is all lakes and rocks and trees: and just now, nothing but snow, which is so deep that if you make one step off the packed path you sink three feet in the soft snow. Nearly all the time you have to wear snowshoes, either through the bush or across the lakes. Most of the towns up this way have less than one thousand inhabitants. Here there are just three families, rather seven- teen people. There's one store, a station, the section house, and the school, where l spend live hours or more every school day teaching three industrious little pupils. Teaching is so different from be- ing taught! Also is the city school differ- ent from my little log school house, where my only inspector is a friendly partridge, which peeps in at the window every day. Most of the buildings are made of logs, with the cracks and crevices stuffed with moss. They are good shelters from the cold north winds, which are certainly not very infrequent at this time of the year. The weather in this country is very much subject to extremes. One day it is stormy and H40 below, and the next day it is warm enough to be spring. But 40 below here isn't as cold as zero at home. ln fact, the lndians, the majority of the inhabitants, wear no heavy coats, just sweaters, and on their heads, silk shawls. These lndians bring in the raw furs, and trade them at the store for gaudy dress goods and candies, mostly. They travel for many miles on snowshoesg the men with heavy pack sacks strapped to their shoulders, and the women with papooses strapped to theirs. When l come back to Hamilton l'll look back on my sojourn in the wilds of North- ern Ontario as one grand long adventure, in a land of wonderful sunsets, and even more wonderful Northern Lights. Wishing you every success in your Easter Vox, l am, Very sincerely, EVELYN C. SMITH. Easter V O X li Y 4' IC I 1921 A T I-I L E T I C S Continued from page 38 ness. Much applause greeted the efforts of Captain Cornelius and his squad. The next series of events contained the relay races and sprints for the city schools. Some excellent material was here dis- closed for future city teams. ln the Col- legiate Uuniorl, Technical and Commer- cial events, the evident training of the Collegiate athletes was a source of gen- eral comment and praise. They always came home winners, displaying superior form and a more uniform stride than their opponents. A dull moment was positively an un- known quantity to the large audience. A special jazz band from the school inject- ed plenty of pep into the proceedings with their snappy selections of popular pieces. The gloom smashing brigade of the evening was composed of that band of Happy Harmony Hounds lead by the man with the voice of a lion, but the temper of a lamb-no other than Bert Challen, boys! Norris Waldron acted as his assistant. Every event was heralded or applauded by a special song or yell: and many were they and long. The height of excitement and anxiety was reached as the international events followed one after the other, each con- taining its individual attraction. All the contestants in the dual competition were exceptionally well developed and well trained. The Baltimore team brought some neat and skillful runners, the skill and endurance of the H.C.l. team being taxed to the limit. From the start of al- most every race until the finish the result was in doubt. The winning of the meet could not be called a pink tea affair by any means: H.C.l. had to fight every inch of the way. For over half the distance only two points separated the teams. ln heaping the laurels upon the track team we must not forget the man who worked hard and patiently to bring further suc- cess to our school. Every athlete wearing the wings of the H.C.l. possessed a well- timed stride, together with beautiful run- ning form, which was produced only by proper training and coaching on the part of Captain Cornelius. To pick an indi- vidual star from the team would be an impossibility, as every man performed creditably. The most exciting moments of the whole meet were experienced dur- ing the hurdles and long distance events. It was the usual thing to see the runners pass each other, First one school leading, then the other. The management of the Royal Con- naught Hotel kindly presented a solid gold medal to the individual obtaining the largest number of points. l. E.. Francis was the winner, with I0 points to his credit. E.. D. Stevens, of Baltimore, came second with 8, while W. Ferris tied with R. Whiteford, of Baltimore for third, se- curing 6 each. Although Collegiate were defeated in a close race in the relay, the defeat was more than made up for when we landed six first places as against three by Baltimore.

Be- sides the Battalion inspection, each Com- pany will give a special exhibition. Company will do extended order and com- pany drillg B Company will give an ex- hibition of single-sticks, C Company will handle the dumb-bells, while D Company will perform with the wands. Besides this, a picked squad will give an exhibition of lance and cavalry drill. This has never been seen here before and promises to be very spectacular. There will be boxing, wrestling, tumb- ling and apparatus work and also the signal corps, which is being instructed by a sergeant-major sent by the government, will show what they have learned to do with the flags. As a grand finale the en- tire battalion will give an exhibition of free-hand drill, accompanied by the band of the l3th Regiment. We could go on and tell what a wonder- ful corps we were going to have and how we were going to be the best in Ontario, which we now are, but in the words of Captain Cornelius Wait and see.

Easter Y 0 X IJ Y 4' E I ISIQI GIRLS ATHLETICS Continued from page 44 In the second contest the Beamsville High SchooI lost to the Normal School Onedrz with a score of I0 to 5. On Tuesday, january llth, Room 3 won an easy victory over the girIs of Room 5. Marion Linklater was the best player for Room 3, scoring most of the points. Score was I4 to 4. The Collegiate Senior Third team -lost to the Pep-e-Two's of Normal School on january I3. The score ran up to I9-IO. This victory of the Normal girls put their Onedrz in first place in section Friday, Jan. Zlst, Collegiate Uppers vs. Grimbsy H.S. This was a fast game, resulting in the score of I4-I3 in favour of our team. At half time the score stood 7-3 favouring the H.C.l., and the first part of the second half our girls increased the Iead. Grimsby, however, came up with a whining fin- ish and nearly tied the score. The Col- legiate girls played a very good game. This game left the Uppers tied with the Veni Vidi Vici's for Hrst place in section A of the Ieague. The second game between the Collegi- ate Senior Thirdsn and the Onedrz re- sulted in the score 22-20 in the Iatter's favour. There was some disagreement concerning the score, but it was decided to Iet it stand as it was. The last game that evening was between Beamsville I-i.S. and the Pep-e-Two's. The former easily won by I5 points. The Normalites were a little handicapped, however, as they were playing without their captain. On Thursday, january 27, two games were played, the first was between pick- ed teams from the First and second forms. The First form girls played an excellent game and come off winners with a score of 9-8. In the second game the Collegiate Uppers battled their way to First place in section A of the Ieague. when they defeated Veni Vidi Vici's in a fast game, by a score of IB to I0. The winners played splendid basketball throughout, Miss Walker at defence, and Miss Wing- field, center, being the most conspicuous players. The next set of games was played on Friday, February 4th. The opening con- test between Beamsville and the Collegiate Seniors Thirds was one of the fastest games yet staged, for at no time did one team have a lead of more than two points. At half time our team was Ieading by the score of I0 to 8: one minute before time was up the score was I5 aII, and then the visitors scored a free throw and the game was won. In the second game Grimsby defeated the Eagles by a score of I3 to 7. The following Tuesday two Collegiate teams journey to Brantford. Both the boys and girls were successful. Marion Walker, Little Giant, as she is called, in Brant- ford played a splendid game at defence. The result was 9-5. The Iine-up: Brantford-Forwards: Ruby Smith, Muriel Smiley: centre, Lenore Mayot, Ad- die Roberts: defence: Helen Biggar, Aud- rey Connamong spare, Dorothy jones. Hamilton-Forwards: Jenny Davidson, Freda Kortsman: centre: Annie Wingheld, Florence Russell, defence: Marion Walker, Edith Gillies ffirst halfl, Georgina Ross fsecond halfjg spare, Ruth IVIcDonaId. We also won the return game on the following Wednesday, even though the Brantford girls played a splendid game. Three important games were played on Friday, February I Ith. The first game re- sulted in a victory for the Onedrz against Beamsville H.S. The next game was a de- feat for the Collegiate Uppers by Grims- by, with a score of I5-8. This tied them for first place in section The Iast game of the evening proved a wallcover for the Collegiate Senior Thirdsn for they defeated the Pep-e-Two's by the one- sided score of 20-2. As a result of this game both these teams are out of the run- ning for first place, although they still have a chance for the consolation trophy. E.ditor's Note.-Through modesty, Miss Freda Kortsman, editor of this depart- ment, has neglected to include herself in the report. Miss Kortsman has a most enviable record on the girls' basketball team, she being a star forward and cap- tain of the Senior Third girls' team. 1 VOX LX ISTPI' 9 2 l 1 '1' ICI B . - l I ' ,+'e':g , 1 C2 1 -' DVlCE:- Af ' 1: -F b f fl 9,1 X-. .. fs- I E ' .,5'f:J 'tl'-E I -A f ' E - .

That's just what we'll do. What do you say, fel- lows? Half an hour's time found the four chums seated on a cold log on the shore of the bay, hastily changing into their skating boots. They were soon on the ice and as they skated about exchanging hello's with their friends and gathering enough of them to- gether for a game of hockey, they no- ticed several small boys skating over to- wards the channel. Dick shouted to them and warned them to stay away, but he might better have saved his breath. They watched with growing anxiety the increasing recklessness of the young trio, and the inevitable happened, when the leader, with a cry of dismay, crashed through the thin ice encircling an air hole, and immediately disappeared from view. The chums simultaneously increased their speed to a racing pace, and a few seconds later arrived on the scene of the accident. Dick had outskated the others and without a moment's hesitation dove into the ice-cold water, where the helpless lad had disappeared for the third time. The first shock almost knocked the breath out of his heated body, but he quickly regained his senses and swam downward with all his might into the dark depths below. Would he never reach the bottom? How deep was the channel out here anyway? The pain in his head was terrific and his ears ached with such throb- bings that he could hardly keep his senses. At last, after lashing around hopelessly for what seemed like an interminably long time, his hand clutched the hair of the drowning lad, only to be himself clutched in a death grip around the throat. One cruel rap, dexterously delivered behind the ear, knocked all the remaining con- sciousness out of the struggling form. Crouching on the bottom with his left arm encircling the limp body, he mustered all his remaining strength into one mighty spring and shot upward with his charge: and then,-everything was blank. as is vs How is Dick this morning, father? inquired Buzz. Not very well, son, replied Dr. Hayes, l fear there is little hope for the recovery of your chum. And thus on Christmas Day this noble, self-sacrificing youth, had given his life and his all, that another might live and enjoy the privileges that should no longer be his.

Not an abridgment or adaptation from any other work. Edited by WILLIAM DODGE LEWIS, A.M., Pd.D., Deputy Commissioner of Education, State of Pennsylvania. EDGAR A. SINGER, Ph.D., Professor of History and Modem Philosophy, University of Pennsylvania. UNLIKE ANY OTHER DICTIONARY Includes all the words in common use and the himdreds of new words that have recently been brought into use-especially the many words that the of nationalities in the World War has made part of our language-with every word fully and clearly deiined so that its use and meaning can be instantly under- stood. ln no instance is a word defined in terms of itself. Every entry is made clear and every word is explained in such simple language that only a single reference is needed. It avoids definitions such as are found in other dictionaries like the following: for instance, defining contagion as transmission of disease : or contagious as c m- municable or spreading by contagionng or transmission as the act of transmitting or the state of being transmitted. In the Winston Simplified Dictionary even in closely related words like the noun transmission, and the verb transmit, each definition is complete in itself.
