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.

East:-1' V 0 X Ii Y 4' E I 1921 Qi THERE ARE NONE SO BLIND IT A traveller toil'd the mountain steep An hour before the dawn, That he might reach the distant height Before the night was gone, And there upon the mountain's brow, ln majesty untold Might view once more the King of Day His regal robes unfold. And as he near'd a cabin rude An aged shepherd spied With bared head, and reverend mien, And dim eyes gazing wide. With thoughtful heed the stranger paused Till the shepherd turned his head: No wish of mine to interrupt Your hour of prayer, he said. Not so, the aged one replied, But, at each day's new birth, For forty years l've dotted my cap To the beauty of the earth. O Wondrous words from simple lips, Oh rare deep well of truthl Ne'er fell more pregnant words of age Upon the ears of youth. For those who see, what loveliness! What strains for those who hear! What truths for the divining heart Lie round us far and near! The magic of the rainbow's hue, The faint blush of the rose, The mystery of opening buds. A glad day's dewy close: The whisper of the south wind sweet EFT O'er smiling landscapes borne, EE 755 The lowing of contented kine, EE To greet the gladsome morn: QE The lilting laugh of a child at play, 5 Sweet rest at a tired day's end: The unfathom'd depth of mother love. The handclasp of a friend. Could we but see and hear and feel, Could our souls but be unfurl'd, Our heads would be forever bared To the beauty of the world. Herbert E. Collins.

Turner, B. A.: Capt. R. Cornelius. President-Mr. M. lVlcGarvin, B.A. Vice-President-George R. Allan, jr. Secretary-Clarence H. Drew. Treasurer-Mr. C. G. 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.
