jack Vanstone is of such a quiet and retiring disposition that, until the final results Were announced, almost no one realized that he Was a mathematician of the hrst water, in fact a Wizard in all his subjects. Last year he captured the Gold Medal for high standing in the lifth form and carried off three Uni- versity Scholarships for Mathemat- ics and General Proficiency. He is also an all-round athlete. This year he is studying at University College, Where, it is rumoured, he is sur- passing even his last year's records. 4 In spite of a busy year outside of school, Ross Richardson vvas suc- cessful in the Alumni Scholarship for General Proficiency. As fellow students vve are proud of his achievement. Ross is not only a brilliant scholar but a splendid pianist and organist. Although he is scientifically inclined, and has made science his hobby, he is destined to become a mathematician. At University College, Which he is novv attending, he is retaining his high record. --.- ..

Ti 'awe uemmefi i, e e e Q Qwf f , Om' Scholarshzf Wz'nner5 Vile are proud this year of our scholarship winners and are setting aside these special pages as a tribute to them. But because the honour falls to a more select few, each should receive more recognition. Scholar- ships are not obtained for a song: they are the reward of constant applica- tion and earnest eltort. They are a laurel of genius, but genius, according to Edison, is 95? perspiration and 5421 inspiration. The winning of such scholarships reilects, too, the quality of teaching at Hiumbersicle. In one short examination all the training of years is called into play. This year that training was not in vain. May their present success be only an earnest of their future accomplishments. Henry Xoyes last year topped live years of academic proficiency by winning a University Alumni Schol- arship. .Xs Editor-in-Chief, his Hermes won lirst place among the school magazines of Ontario. More- over, he was valedictorian for his class so that it was only natural that he should be voted the most out- standing boy in last year's graduat- ing class. May his record at Uni- versity where he is now studying Moderns be as line a one as he left for us at Humberside. uIr 74
