mullll H my 9 'mwtx f 6 A! . 5341.513 W i I3 i lla QW Z , Eiliiliiills o ' g 74, ' , E' N , Zo fi-Q .. ks i T s Th 6 Hermes, 1930 The typewriters have iinally ceased their frenzied clackingg the long galley-sheets have gone back for the last time: our hands are at last free from pasteg the whole hectic rush is over-the Hermes is out. Its publication marks the passing of another milestone, because on its pages are recorded the school's activities for the entire past year. It is a tangible expression of the spirit and soul of Humberside, a creation of Humbersiders. In dedicating this edition to Mr. Evans, we believe we have paid a lasting tribute to an old friend and. at the same time, retained a memoir of that friendship. You may wonder why we have included an etching of the school and photographs of the mural painting and scholarship roll. lt is true that they are now familiar sights, but perhaps, in the days to come, you will value a copy of them. VVe have endeavoured to model our magazine after the best journal in the province-last year's Hermes: we have done our best to retain all its good points but have not had to shun its bad points because we could hnd none. The structure throughout has been kept the same but we hope you lincl our choice of subject matter an improvement. Assured of tinancial welfare, we have spent more on our pictures. To Humljiersides Hall of Fame we have admitted thirty pupils and have interviewed two of our outstanding teachers with a view to establishing a more intimate acquaintance. More than anything else, however, we have attempted to broaden the outlook of this year's magazine. An essay on Shall we go to college?', portrays the possibilities that lie beyond matriculation, while an article on Wliat our graduates are doing points out what our older brothers have achieved in various outside iields of endeavour. Messages from both Dr. Anderson and Trustee Edmunds contain excellent advice on how we. too, may emulate those who have gone before. we have tried to incorporate articles that may be of interest to those who are not attracted by fiction ....... Last year's slogan was There is something in the Hermes for everyone. This year's maxim is Everything in the Hermes is for everyone. Read your Hermes carefully from cover to cover-it is all yours. Note where it is at fault and where it may be improved. Criticize it constructively so that next year's magazine may prolit by our mistakes and be strong where we are weak. 14

THE I-lEl'QlVlEf', T he Ea'z'z'0r'5 C'07Z'ZJV67ZfZ.07Z Cwing to the formal disbanding of the Sigma Delta Chi, the men's journalistic fraternity, it was at first thought that there would be no Convention this year. However, late in November, under the leadership of the Sigma Phi, the women's fraternity, delegates from everywhere in Qntario met in Convo- cation Hall. The Convention being opened by Sir Robert Falconer, the delegates were welcomed by Miss Iris Robinson, president of the Sigma Phi. The convention and its purpose were then explained to us by Mr. XV. Dunlop. who conceived it to be primarily a council circle for our common problems. Mr. Sanderson followed with a graphic and dramatic interpretation of some of the highlights of modern literature. Mr. Mitchell next explained some of the rudiments of typography and proofreading, and gave us several valuable suggestions for the composition of our magazine. The last speaker of the morning, Mrs. M. Muir, put before us the chief rudiments of the short story, and of its title. The morning session concluded with our allotment to discussion groups, to be led by prominent literary men and women of the city. In the ,afternoon session, we were addressed by Mr. Gregory Clarke of the Star, who presented the Star shield to the Sigma Phi, to be awarded to the best magazine in the province. Following this. Mr. McNaughton spoke to the business staffs of the various magazines. We then toured the Star Building, and afterwards were treated to a very pleasant afternoon tea. That evening the delegates gathered at the banquet table, in Burwash Hall. After several toasts, Dr. E. J. Pratt read his poem entitled Ice Floesf' Then. to us, came the most outstanding event of the evening, when Miss E. Powell presented the Star shield to the Hermes,U as the best magazine in Ontario. Edward A. Walton, representing last year's staff, received the shield and thanked the Star and the Sigma Phi. The Hermes', wishes to congratulate B. Campbell of Jarvis Collegiate, who won the book prize for the best short story in any magazine. The banquet concluded with an address by Mr. N. rl. DeWitt, editor of the Varsity, on The Evolution of an Editorf' The following morning, in Hart House Theatre, Mr. Bridgen spoke to the Art Editors, and Mrs. Groves discussed poetry. A humourous skit was presented, followed by a report from the convenor of each discussion group. Mr. N. Moore of MacLean'.s and Mr. G. H. Locke of the public library next spoke to us. In the closing address of the convention, Mr. R. E. Knowles left with us the following quotation from Ruskin: No great man is truly appre- ciated except by his superiors or his peers. 15
