THE r-igrawlgf' XXX H all K uxyllrm .Xm l? Never have Humbersiders enjoyed a greater privilege than that of listening to Dr. E. Barker, lecturer, author, and medical advisor to ex-president Taft. Witli the language of a born orator, Dr. Barker portrayed conditions found among the younger generation. He tried to make the students realize the dangers and temptations that lay before them, and pointed out how they might be avoided. Pk if Pk Late in 1929, Humberside had the pleasure of listening to Mr. Booth, who is said to have spoken before more students of High School age than any other living man. He related many interesting anecdotes, chieliy personal, and explained how he had profited by his own mistakes. Play the game squarely, said Mr. Booth, and live up to the history and traditions of your school. 86 is Sp ealzers Rev. ti. .X. l,eichliter, one of Toronto's outstanding ministers who is in great demand as an after- dinner speaker, gave the students at one of our morning assemblies, a rousing address on the subject: y l Last fall, we were indeed fortunate in obtaining as a speaker, one of the most noted men in the financial world, Mr. lleck, who in his capacity as Director of the Personnel of the N.Y. Stock Exchange, has aided thousands of boys of High School age. The theme of his inspiring discourse was XYhat you are to be, you are now becoming. He likewise endeavoured to impress upon his listeners the necessity of having a good character in the business world. wk :K ak Recently Humberside extended to Mr. bl. P. Hagerman, otherwise known as the boy's friendfl a royal welcome that will never be forgotten by those present. After an absence of four years, Mr. Hagerman has returned to continue his labours among Canadian boys. In a very forceful address he endeavoured to show the value of true friendship and the necessity of always climbing as we journey through life.

4 . 3 Q 532 Tl-IE I'1ElQIVI'Ef N Margaret Cowan, active vice-president of the Literary Society, competent Big Sister Officer of the Girl's Athletic Association, clever actress in the School Play and would- be dentist, 'has played her part in Humbers- side's activities with her usual zeal. Marg's creed must be, the true success is to labour. Lorne Smith has been directly connected With the Hermes Staff for three years, and has been active in the School Plays. Wheii he is not subduing Latin and Greek verbs, he is either listening to some funny story or pursuing a deliquent contributor to the Hermes. During her three years at Humberside, Gwen Morison has been one of the School's outstanding characters. Her activities have not limited her to the attainment of knowledge, for she has taken a prominent part in Humber- side's social and literary movements. Vlfayne Allman, Humberside's super-saxo- phonist, who can make a saxophone cry, laugh and talk, has been the life of many Literary Meetings. As leader of the collegians, Wayne deserves much creditg yet music is not his only Joan Garton, the efficient social convenor of the G.A.A., besides being a talented pianist, displays marked academic and dramatic ability. For the past three years, while keep- ing up an admirable record in her studies, she has taken a prominent part in the School Play. 85 forte, for it is none other than he who is Assistant Humour Editor of the Hermes.
