Page 4 Principal's Message It is a great pleasure to extend my congratulations to the Volt staff for their fine efforts in the publication of this magazine. This is the tenth successive year inrwhich the staff and students of the lngersoll Collegiate Institute-now lngersoll District Collegiate Institute-have published a year book. While our facilities have expanded and our enrolment increased and our surroundings changed, the basic principles of secondary education and the role of staff and student in this process have remained un- changed. Education is still the preparation for a suc- cessful career and for a useful and happy life. This pre- paration requires concentrated work and one lesson pupils soon learn in secondary school is that success comes only to those who do faithful work. l should like to offer sincere congratulations to those who have persevered and who will graduate from our school this year. We are living in an age when there are many opportunities for youth and I trust all of you will find real happiness and service in your chosen vocation. I urge those who will be remaining for 'another year or more, to take every advantage of the oppor- tunities which are available here at school for the de- velopment of body and mind, to strive in every way to uphold the high standards of those who have gone be- fore, to take an active part in all school activities, to develop leadership qualities. Thus a firm foundation for the future will, indeed, be yours. J. C. HERBERT, Principal Message from the Chairman of the l.D.C.l. School Board Once again it is my privilege as Chairman of the lngersoll District Collegiate Institute Board, to congratu- late, on behalf of the Board, the students for their good work in producing the T956 Volt, a year book which is proof of the long hours and much thought of so many working in co-operation with each other. lt is with much satisfaction that l say that the members of the Board are very pleased with the fine showing and many honours won by the students, not only in academic subiects, but in music, cadet work, sports and in other phases of school work. We are looking forward to seeing our student body not only maintain the high standards they set in l955, but sur- pass them if possible. You will have to pass through another period of construction work in the building of the new eight-room addition. This may to some extent be a handicap and annoy you somewhat because of the noise and con- fusion, but if the same spirit prevails among the students and staff as during the previous construction period, there will be no cause. for regret. l extend to all the teachers and students my best wishes for a happy and very successful year in l956.

In the Home Economics Department, Miss J. Grierson, a graduate of MacDonald Institute in Guelph, replaced Miss A. Matthews who is now Mrs. A. Ward and is living in Montreal. Mr. W. C. Brown from the College of Education took the place in the Industrial Arts Department of Mr. G. Wichert who is now teaching in the Niagara Peninsula. The agriculture instructor Mr. H. Brown went to teach in Blue Springs, Missouri, U.S.A. and his place was filled by Mr. W. A. Montgomery from the Ontario College of Education. Besides these three teachers, Mr. R. Lewis from the On- tario College of Education, Mr. H. Reimer from the Parry Sound High School, Mr. G. Ringler from Acton and Mr. P. Derbyshire from England, were added to the staff to make a total of twenty-four members. Doris Juett, Grade l2A COMPLIMENTS OF Ingersoll Machine Cr Tool Company Appreciation The staff of the Volt wishes to express its appreciation to the students and teachers of the commercial department for their work in typing the copy for this year book. The editors are deeply indebted to the members of the Volt staff and especially to Mr. Herbert and Miss Carney, who gave up much of their valuable time to make this year's Volt a success. We wish to thank our advertisers and sub- scribers for making this year book financially possible. To anyone who helped in any way with the publication of this issue of the Volt or who contributed in any way to this year's school activities, we express our sincere thanks. THE VOLT The Seasons Outside the leaves are falling Like in a story-book, l hear the cricket calling From every ridge and brook. I fear the winter blizzard Will soon us overtake, Jack Frost will like a wizard Soon freeze the streams and lake. For little birds 'tis wing-time They'll soon be here to stay, For us it will be sing-time Through each happy day. Then soon we'll all be merry When summer's here again, With apples, pears and cherry With sunshine and with rain. So travel we through seasons Along life's happy way, l hope these are good reasons Why we're so glad and gay. Robert K. Coles, Grade 9A Ode to a Species of Mephitis Mustelidae O Mephitis Mustelidae Fair Flower of the Woods! Why are you not immortalized? You know you got the goods. Why are your virtues not extolled Serenity in Bloom? Your dewy eyes, your silky coat Your tail, a floating plume. Such dignity and bearing makes The heart within me swell, But, Noble One, pray tell me why The heck you gotta smell. Jacquelyn Douglas, Grade llA Jas. S.

Page 8 The Mayor's Message STUDENTS, TEACHERS AND PARENTS: lt is indeed a pleasure for me as mayor to extend the best wishes of the town of Ingersoll to the pupils and staff of the Ingersoll District Collegiate Institute. First I would like to congratulate the students and staff on the presentation of the Blue and White Revue. lt was an excellent production. The night school classes were very impressive. They gave the urban and rural adults a chance to get together, use their school and show their wares. I was very pleased to see their work. A district collegiate can afford more opportunities for the students, giving them a greater scope, than a smaller school. Education is a must and since all trades and pro- fessions are expanding, we must produce greater men and women to carry on the big iob of running industry and our country. The Department of Education, your School Board and councils have provided the facilities. The challenge is before you - don't regret later that you didn't take it up, make your parents and teachers proud of you. Education is essential.

Now workmen are already busy build- ing an addition to accommodate the overflow- ing student body. Once again we will read poetry to the staccatto rhythm of hammer and saw. But progress is not marked by physical growth alone. The larger our number, the greater is the necessity to strive for a better school spirit. Our years in school are a train- ing ground for later life. We must use them to learn how to live and work and play with others - in harmony. Just as a chain is as strong as its weakest link, so a school is as strong as any one of its members. Only by all working together can we make the l.D.C.l. truly great in every sense of the word. Marie Fleming, Grade l2A Editor THE VOLT I am proud to be co-editor of this year's school magazine, the Volt. l.D.C.l. is unique in being one of the few secondary schools able to boast of a school publication of especially high calibre in the past years, and we hope this year's Volt measures up to that same high standard. I should like to convey my thanks to the Volt staff to whom the success of this publica- tion can be accredited. l will long remember the co-operation and fine efforts of this group, who have made easy for my co-editor and me what could have been an exasperating iob. While I am proud to be co-editor of the l956 Volt, I am even prouder to be a member of the i956 graduating class. lf this is to be Canada's' half century, then it will be our half century, because I feel sure that most of us will play an important part in the future of our country. Through the past thirteen years in the area of the l.D.C.l. the teachers of the elemen- tary schools and now more recently the teachers of l.D.C,l. have done their utmost through academic and extra-curricular endeavours, to mould our minds and our characters that we may be able to meet the challenge as we step out into the world. Can we meet this challenge? I believe we can. Doug McConnell, Grade I3 Editor 9 Y MARIE FLEMING Page 9 Vuledictory Address of 1955 lt is with humble heart that I voice thought of my classmates and friends. stand on the threshold of our future. It is our duty to equal or surpass the successes of our predecessors. The task will not be easy, for one can only view the world with cautious optimism. the We Officially we leave behind the supports which have held us on our true path for the last five years. Now, there is nothing, yet everything, for God and our initiative remain. With them, all things are possible and we begin our service to mankind in whatever field we have chosen. To serve mankind brings happiness, a deep, lasting and satisfying hap- piness necessary to man. As we turn for a brief glimpse of our past activities, associates and achievements, we can- not help but think of our motto, Send forth your light , and wonder if, at all times, we have followed its guidance. If not, we have failed ourselves, our school and our forerunners. Our talents are not self-made, but given by One who diligently chose and selected for each of us. God created man and gave him life, He gave him aptitudes and talents with which to protect himself, to survive and to preserve life. Then He instructed man and gave him His reason for so doing. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father which is in heaven. Thus, to use our talents is to bring praise not only to us, our family and school, but to God. I believe I speak correctly when I say that as a whole, the graduates of nineteen hundred and fifty-five have given of themselves, academically, athletically, musically, and in every extracurricular activity, whole-heartedly, without any thought of personal gain. leader- ship in school activities was at a peak and it was not an individual person who made our attempts successful, but the whole group work- ing as a team. There remains for 'you, the present students at Ingersoll District Collegiate Institute, a challenge, a challenge to raise the calibre of academic achievements, the successes of previous Blue and White Revues, musical and public speaking competitions, cadet inspections and athletic achievements. In striving to this end, you will be giving of yourselves, co-oper- ating and working with others as a team or group and raising Ingersoll District Collegiate Institute to a pinnacle from which it can never fall. When this idea of united effort has been spread throughout both hemispheres, we will be turning out into the world, a better and more qualified group of men and women, who will know howto live with others, regardless of Page 10 creed, colour or religion, and no bomb will be powerful enough to destroy a united world. In closing, I should like to express our sincere thanks to Mr. Herbert and his staff, who have so unselfishly given of their time and energy to help us throughout the last five years, and to the members of the Board, who have worked so hard and for so long to secure this new building for the Ingersoll Dis- trict Collegiate Institute from which we have had the privilege of being the first class to graduate.

Education is always a better preparation for life's work. The more education you have and can use, the better are your chances of living the way you want to live. What can you do with yourself? Almost anything you want to do if you work and use your head. But work - steady and continuous work - is necessary. The Lord provides the fishing, you have to dig the bait. Poverty is no real handicap, while wealth and social position may be. The latter may get you soft or dead-end jobs. Of these be- ware! They beget idleness and idleness in a young person is a sin, if not a crime. Be careful about early marriage. lt may trap you. Two cannot live as cheaply as one and certainly not as four or five. A good rule is to get your education before you marry. Don't neglect the sciences - chemistry, physics, mathematics, biology. Canada is de- veloping fast and there is a great demand for those with scientific training. The sciences may look harder than some other subiects, but once you get into them they are not so hard as they seem. And girls too, since nowadays all profes- sional positions are open to women, you have the chance if you want it. Probably you expect to marry, which is as it should be, but marriage need not interfere greatly with a career. It is harder to have both, but many women do have both. You may not choose to marry, but if you do marry and lose your husband, you may have to support yourself and children. You should be prepared in any case to make a satisfactory living. ln my young day a high school education was considered a sufficient preparation for a life work. It is not so any longer. College or professional school training now takes its place. Through postgraduate or research work you may add to human knowledge. This sounds big, but it is within the reach of many of you. The abilities are of the same order as those of the I3 year old small town or farm boy who figures out how to get his chores done so that he can go to the ball game. Of course you must have ambition and desire. The development of personality is essen- tial. You must get along with people and with the world you live in. People who like you, will help you. People you antagonize are likely to work against you, or at least do nothing to help. Rugged individualism doesn't work. There is no hurry. One forward step at a time is good progress, but keep moving. Aim for the best in man or places. The big man and the big places are generally more approachable and reasonable than the little ones.

Its pur- pose was To give accurate knowledge of the United Nations Organization, so that, armed with this knowledge, they may return to their communities to arouse interest in the Organiza- tion. Elizabeth Forbes and John Gazzola were the representatives from the l.D.C.l. Their se- lection was made on the basis of efficiency in Grade l2 history. The Lions' Club of Inger- soll generously paid the expenses involved. The seminar consisted of lectures, films, and discussions on the achievements and the prob- lems of the U,N. Mr. David Ennels, liason of- ficer ofthe United Nations, New York, Dr. Har- vey and Dr. Gynne-Timothy of the U.W.O. were three of the many very interesting speakers. A dance, a banquet, and a visit to Fanshawe proved that the seminar was not all work and no play, When the four day seminar closed, all the students felt that it was worth while and that it had fulfilled its purpose, John Gazzola, Elizabeth Forbes, Grade l3 Page 'I8 Visites lnterprovinciules More students should take advantage of the opportunities which are offered by Visites lnterprovinciales. ln a few years the organiza- tion has accomplished a great deal in foster- ing better relationships and understanding be- tween the provinces of Ontario and Quebec. By a very simple plan visits can be arranged for any student who realizes the need of be- coming better acquainted with our neighbours. Last summer through Visites lnterprovin- ciales, I was very fortunate to have as a guest, Miss Nicole Goulet, from Quebec City. Nicole was not a perfect stranger to Ontario, having spent a summer in Toronto a few years ago. The maior purpose of her visits was to learn to speak English more fluently. ln a very short time we discovered we had many things in common and have continued our friendship through correspondence. lt Nicole is a typical example of a French Canadian, then l am anxiously awaiting the day I can visit Quebec and become acquainted with her people and with French Canadian ways and customs. As new bonds of friendship are formed, the barriers of language will automatically be surmounted. Julie Cragg, Grade 12A THE VOLT My Visit to Quebec Visites lnterprovinciales, a non-profit or- ganization run only by contributions from various people, is trying to break the barrier existing between the English-speaking and French-speaking provinces. Because the Eng- lish-speaking people are in the maiority, we of this group tend to think of the French as a backward race. The differences between the two sections cause a lack of co-operation which greatly weakens the strength of our nation. Through the arrangements of Visites Inter- provinciales I spent a month last summer with a French family of ten. Noel Veilleux and his family live at St. Benoit-Labre, in the county of Beauce. This village is one hundred and eighty miles east of Montreal, sixty miles south of Quebec City, and about forty miles from the border of Maine. Because of the proximity to the United States, nearly everyone is, to some extent, acquainted with the English language. St. Benoit-Labre, with a population of about eighteen hundred people, resembles any village in Ontario. The arrangement of build- ings includes the usual service stations, and general stores, a blacksmith shop, and a mill. The dominating feature is the large, white, stone church with its tall spires. Noel Veilleux and his wife, who own a furniture store, have eight children ranging from two to fourteen. The mother does all the sec- retarial work for the store. The eldest boy, Jean-Marc, helps in the store and on deliveries. Jeanette, the eldest girl, aided by a hired girl, does the housework. Jean-Marc has finished at the local school and is now taking a course at the seminary in St. Georges, eight miles from St. Benoit. The French people were very friendly. I was offered the best rocking chair of the sev- eral each household had. When they learned that I was from Ontario, they were very inter- ested and asked me many questions. Although some of the farming methods are backward, they drive new cars and have well-equipped homes. At first it was difficult for me to follow their conversation. Because they used English a little and because l became accustomed to hearing the French language, by the end of my visit l had a fairly good understanding of what they meant. It was a very enioyable visit which I shall be happy to repeat if ever the opportunity comes my way.

Page 22 THE VO -- The literary Society Last November the Literary Society was or- ganized with the following executive: President: John Gazzola lst Vice-President: Martin Herbert 2nd Vice-President: Suzanne Hutt Secretary: Harry Steele Assistant Secretary: Auke Faber Pianist: Margery Sherlock Assistant Pianist: Clare Hossack Press Reporter: Bernie Houston Assistant Press Reporter: Elizabeth Forbes The Christmas lit The Christmas meeting of the Literary So- ciety was a welcome change from the routine of examinations. The programme started off with a procession into the auditorium of the Junior Girls' Glee Club singing Angels We Have Heard On High, Jesous Ahatonhia, and Deck the Halls With Boughs of Holly. Grade 13 presented a fashion show with the boys as models. The students next applauded a tap-dance by Joy McCombe, and a violin solo by Jerry Service. The Mixed Glee Club sang Ding, Dong! Merrily on High and O Come All Ye Faithful. The Four Laddies from Grade lOA gave their rendition of He . A skit by Grade llA about school life and Grade llC's version of Sixteen Tons, fea- turing Ruthann House, were highlights on the programme. The Senior Girls' Glee Club sang What Child ls This, and Silent Night. Grade l2A students presented a vivid in- terpretation of That Good Ole Mountain Dew . John Gazzola, president of the Students' Council, presented gifts to members of the teaching staff and the cafeteria staff and to the caretakers. Then everyone ioined in singing carols, led by Tom Telfer. Mr. Herbert extended his greeting to the students and staff, and the meeting closed with God Save the Queen. Rose Marie Harvey, Grade 12A Recital by Mr. Wilson MacDonald Last fall Mr. Wilson MacDonald, one of the foremost Canadian poets, visited the Col- legiate to give a recital of his lively Caw-Caw ballads and Biblical poetry to the accompani- ment of the music of an old Gregorian chant. Versatile in his poetry as well as in his interests, MacDonald has captured the spirit of the southern negro in his humourous l've Done Quit Stealin' v and of the lively French-Canad- ian in his Stop-Him-Short equally as well as he has caught the call of the wilds in his THE VOLT Song of the Ski or as sensitively as he has interpieted the Scriptures in his Biblical poetry. All of these were presented to the school in the resonant voice ofthe man who wrote them. MacDonald's talent lies not only in writing, but also in art. He showed some of the senior grades a copy of a volume of his poems, soon to be printed, which he himself has illustrated. Mr. MacDonald also gave a short talk on the value of poetry in an effort to give the stu- dents a broader understanding and apprecia- tion of this form of writing. Joan Tyson, Grade 'I3 The Glee Clubs The Glee Clubs of the I.D.C.l. this year have played a very important role in school activities. The main event for the three Glee Clubs, the Junior Girls' Glee Club, the Senior Girls' Glee Club and the Mixed Glee Club, was the annual trip to the Kiwanis Music Festival in Toronto. The Junior Girls' came first in their class with the mark of 84 for their rendition of Wel- come Sweet Pleasure. The Mixed Glee Club also placed first for singing the Bach Chorale From Ill Do Thou Defend Me and Linden Lea. Since this was the third successive year that the Mixed Choir had won the class, they now retain the Kiwanis Shield. ln addition the Mixed Glee Club received a scholarship of fifty dollars. The Senior Girls' Glee Club placed second with the marks of 85 and 85 for their rendition of Orpheus With His Lute and Cherry Ripe. All the Glee Clubs took part in the Blue and White Revue. The Mixed Glee Club sang two excerpts from Oklahoma and the Junior Girls' sang Seventeen. The Senior Girls' gave the show a very beautiful ending by singing When Day ls Done. A party for the Glee Clubs only, was held at the school to celebrate their victories. Miss Fanning was presented with a bouquet of red roses. This year the Senior Girls' Glee Club had the honour of singing in Convocation Hall, Uni- versity of Toronto, at the Easter Convention of the Ontario Educational Association at the af- ternoon and evening meetings on Tuesday, April 3. We wish to express our appreciation to the pianists of the Glee Clubs for their great as- sistance. Suzanne Timms was the pianist for the Junior Girls' Glee Club and Margery Sher- lock and Clare Hossack accompanied both the Mixed and Senior Girls' Glee Clubs.

H f ll T rv- Iva- to-in v i.-.na ll How did we get into this picture? asked Elsie, the Borden Cow Now look, Elsie, replied her husband Elmer, iust you sit still until the photo- grapher gets finished, then I'lI answer your questions. But Daddy, cried Beauregard, l'm late for baseball practice now! And I'm missing my music lesson, sighed Beaulah. QUIETl roared Elmer, Now, Mr. Photographer, I believe we are ready. Click! Thank you for your patience, sir Elmer said, and glowered at his family. Please send a good print of that picture to the Editor of The Volt in IngersoII. The Volt? said Elsie. lngersoll? said Beaulah. Why send our picture to them? asked Beauregard. Now if you'lI all listen for a moment, I'll tell you, said Elmer, in his best fatherly tones. The Volt is the Ingersoll District Col- legiate lnstitute's Year Book. Beaulah, you're in Grade I3 so you should know how important the Year Book is to any High School student. Oh yes, Daddy, cried Beaulah. Could we put our picture in my school's Year Book too? Well now, wait a minute, replied Elmer. You see, there's a special reason we're putting our family picture in The Volt. A special reason? queried Beaure- gard. Yes, said Elmer. And that reason is because Ingersoll is a mighty important place to Borden's. It is? perked up Beauregard. It is, nodded Elmer. For Ingersoll is where Borden's make a lot of their fine products . . . Evaporated Milk, Eagle Brand Milk, Klim, Chocolate Malted Drink . . . And Starlac, too, Elmer. Don't forget StarIac, broke in Elsie. Yes, Starlac, the powdered skim milk with the extra fine flavour, as our ads say, replied Elmer. . Well, the ads are right, said Elsie. I know, I know said Elmer. We've proved that time and again with house- wives who have made actual comparison tests. No other powdered skim milk can equal Starlac for true milk flavour, and that's a fact. I use it all the time in my own kitchen, you know, Elmer, Elsie went on. StarIac's not only delicious to drink, it's ideal for cooking. Its got all the proteins and minerals of milk, and only the fat is re- moved. Why all you do is add water and prestol you've got milk so good . . Just a minute, Elsie, just a minute, Elmer interrupted. Beauregard has been trying to say something and if we don't let him talk he'II burst! Well, Daddy, I iust wanted to say that Borden's Chocolate Malted Drink is really super, Beauregard bubbled. Ahem, said the photographer. Is that all, Elmer? Oh, I'm sorry, sir, Elmer replied. Here we've been prattling on about all the Borden's products made at Ingersoll, and we should have been getting out of your way. Come, Elsie, come children. We must be going. l'lI send that picture to the Editor of The Volt right away, EImer, said the photo- grapher. Thank you, Mr. Photographer, smiled Elmer, as he shepherded the most famous family of all cowdom out the door.

W. Eckhardt The Blue And White Revue The theme of the Blue and White Revue, held on March 8 and 9, was An Evening of T.V. The audience was taken into the studio of station I.D.C.l.-T.V. where l.D.C.l.'s version of to-day's top T.V. programmes was presented. Those responsible for properties and stage scenery made possible the realistic atmosphere of a television studio. The Ted Solomon variety show opened with the Mixed Glee Club singing excerpts from Oklahoma . This was followed by a cellist, tumbling, a soloist, ballet number and waltzing. The next programme was Civic Forum de- bating on Resolved that T.V. should replace teachers . The Across Canada Hit Parade featured Three Haircuts in their frantic rendition of Ain't She Sweet , the Rockettes, tap-dancing and the Gentlemen Songsters. An old fashioned hoe-down with western music and square dancing made up the Har- mony Ranch number. Next on Channel 15, another chapter of Men in White took the audience into the rup- tured anatomy of Lamebrain Bamberlain. IGod rest his soulll. l.D.C.l. Folio took the form of an hilarious showing of the latest in fashions for the style- conscious lady. The gorgeous garments were displayed to their fullest advantage by the stunning, Parisian models. A modern dance number, Jazz Moderne , completed the pro- gramme, After the Libretto show, complete with condlelabra and Steinway, the dum-de-dum- dum boys were back with another suspense- packed episode of Dragnette. An attempted murder was the theme of the play Tiger Lily , presented by Pyiama Playhouse. The Senior Girls', Glee Club, looking lovely in their evening gowns, closed the pro- gramme with When Day is Done . Credit is due to the staff, all the students taking part and the staff behind the scenes. Without their help this year's revue could never have been the success it was.

At Home The chief social event of the l.D.C.l. school year was the At Home, held in the school gymnasium on February 3. This year the decor- ating committee went all out in decorations. The main feature of their decorations was a fountain with running water, and beautiful schrubs and flowers around it. The guests were received by Principal and Mrs. J. C. Herbert, Mr. Harry Bower, chairman of the School Board and Mrs. Bower, John Gazzola, president of the Students' Council and Miss Dallas Butler. The highlight of the evening was the crowning of the Queen of the Ball, Miss Shirley MacPherson. Mayor Donald Bower crowned the Queen and John Gazzola presented the Queen and her escort, Bev. Gumb, with gifts. We were very happy to welcome many students, graduates and friends of the school to our At Home. The music of Lionel Thornton's orchestra so delighted the guests that one o'cIock came too soon. Julie Cragg, Grade l2A Commencement Exercises This year's commencement exercises were highlighted by the presentation of an unusually large number of university scholarships to Grade XIII graduates. Margaret Start and Barbara Waring were awarded the Elizabeth Ann Highet Memorial Scholarship providing for four years' tuition at Victoria College in the University of Toronto plus S300 cash. Barbara also won a scholarship of S300 for high marks in the grade I3 final examinations donated by the Canadian Legion besides, heading her class with an average of eighty-eight percent to win the George Beaumont Memorial Scholarship. Ronald Billings was presented with a S200 scholarship from the University of Western On- tario where he is now studying medicine. Jacob Faber received the Calvin College Scholarship for Canadian students and Doreen Uren was awarded the Mrs. W. A. Elliot Mem- orial Bursary. The Collegiate appreciates the active interest and practical help of the friends and graduates of the I.D.C.l. and the citizens of the town and surrounding community in the form of cups, scholarships, awards and cash prizes. This year the value of these amounted to over 511000. The valedictory address was given by Jean Watntough. The speakers in the finals of the boys' and girls' public speaking, and selections from the Glee Clubs were included in the programme. Joan Tyson, Grade I3 Page 30 B.

The l.S.C.F.'ers are very grateful to Mr. Herbert, Miss Bratt, teachers, speakers and students who by their efforts made each meet- ing this year a real help and blessing. Don McAllister, Grade 13 The Remembrance Day Thursday afternoon, November ll, we gathered in the auditorium to pay tribute to those who, for us, had served in the war and even paid the supreme sacrifice. Upon entering the auditorium we were filled with a feeling of deep reverence. On the stage, a large white cross arose from a white covered table. A row of scarlet poppies provided the only touch of colour for the setting. Three rifles formed a triangle at the base of the cross, which was flanked by the Union Jack and the Cadet Flag. On each side of the cross were plaques, bearing the tribute, Lest We Forget . The service began with the hymn O God Our Help ln Ages Past . This was followed by a scripture reading by Auke Faber. Maior G. F. Pirie, Commander of the Woodstock Garrison of London and Oxford Fusiliers, read the names of the l.D.C.l. students who had given their lives in World War l and ll. At the end of the reading of the names, the lights were dim- med as we observed a two minutes' silence. Then, in the background, the traditional cere- monial drum rolls and lament on the pipes were heard. Last Post and Reveille fol- lowed. Rev. C. .l. Queen led in prayer. Captain the Reverend R. D. MacDonald of Till- sonburg gave an inspiring message based on the text, For whosoever will save his life shall lose it, and whosoever will lose his life will find it for my sake. He left with us this thought, Lives lost through giving are the only lives worth living. Rev. M. MacDonald of Trinity United Church gave the closing prayer and pronounced the benediction. Marilyn Cornish, Grade l3 Religious Assemblies According to custom, religious assemblies were conducted at the l.D.C.l. this year. The local clergy willingly gave of their time every Wednesday morning for six weeks in succession. A different form was in charge of each meeting. Besides the inspirational messages delivered by the speakers, there were also some outstanding musical numbers, such as the Grade l3 boys' quartet and a trumpet solo by Doris Kester. The assemblies emphasized the need for co-ordination between the spiritual and the academic development of students. ln view of the benefit derived from these services we are hoping that they will be continued next year.

John Gazzola be- came president, Suzanne Hutt, first vice-presi- dent, Elizabeth Muterer, second vice-president, Bill Bradfield, secretary. These officers with the presidents of the other organizations in the school and representatives of the teaching staff formed the Students' Council. The main purpose of the Students' Coun- cil is to act as a co-ordinating body for the activities of the various school societies, to act as custodian and to exercise control over cer- tain school funds and to distribute such funds to the different school organizations in such amounts as to assist those organizations to function in the most effective way. The Students' Council also has to organize and operate the At Home and the initiation ceremony, to look after the sale of insignia articles and individual pictures, to arrange the presentation of the Blue and White Revue and to look after the operation of the tuck shop. Bill Bradfield, Grade I2B Junior Red Cross In September the Junior Red Cross Society was organized for I955-I956 with the follow- ing executive, President, Ann Knott, Vice- President, Beth Tunney, Secretary, Sandra Mills, Treasurer, Miss J. C. Grierson, Staff Supervisor, Mrs, C. Tyson. There was a great deal of interest in the regular meetings since films on the work of the Junior Red Cross were sent from Toronto. Mrs. Tingle showed films on her trip to Europe and England, Miss Wilkinson, Red Cross Repre- sentative from Toronto, gave an informative talk on the work which the Junior Red Cross does on an international scale, and Mr. Ringler, who spent some time teaching in Ethiopia, gave a lively address on his work in that country. Through monthly penny collections and a Sadie Hawkins dance a considerable sum of money was raised with which we bought gifts for twenty-eight children at the Beck Memorial Sanitorium in London. We also donated Christ- mas gifts to the Fairhaven Rest Home and a number of books to the local hospital. A sum of fifty dollars was sent to the Junior Red Cross headquarters in Toronto for their work with crippled children. Contributions were made to the Cancer Fund, the Institute for the Blind, the local Red Cross and the Easter Seal Campaign. The members of the executive and form representatives feel indebted to the president, Ann Knott, whose enthusiastic leadership was responsible for the carrying through of our ex- tensive proiects.

The students being initi- ated had a gruelling experience andthe seniors had a whale of a time! ! Weird and wonderful creations were worn by both girls and boys. The girls looked like fugitives from Dogpatch in men's trousers, one trouser leg iauntily rolled up to show a decor- ative garter, shirt on backwards, Davy Crockett hat above a half-made face and a paint brush dangling like a necklace. The garb of the boys had an Oriental aspect, as they appeared in evening gowns top- ped with pyiama iackets, towel-turbanned heads, earrings and make-up, running shoes peeping from beneath their gowns, and carry- ing brooms. What iunior will forget the compulsory greeting as he or she bowed to the seniors- l am your humble Freshie, O Master '? ln the afternoon of the fateful day, a program was held in the gymnasium and the best-dressed freshmen chosen and awarded such memorable gifts as masks and baby rattles. The girl winners were: best-dressed, Carolyn Rine, best all-around, Diane Good- hand, funniest, Janice Robins. The boy win- ners were: best-dressed, Dan Stewartf best all- around, Gregory McMillan, best turbanned, Bob Gould. Each iunior form sang the school song and the vocal award went to 9D. In the evening a dance was held in the gymnasium with games provided for non- dancers. Then came the dreaded moment when penalties were handed out for the iuniors' wrong-doings of the day. The seniors dreamed up many fiendish tortures such as walking barefoot on worms, measuring the gym floor with a strip of bacon for a rule and feed- ing one another Pablum while blindfold. The trials of the iuniors were over and they were accepted as members of the l.D.C.l. student body.

Field Day After many weeks of constant practice we assembled last fall at the new track on the school campus for our annual field day. The champions were: Juvenile, Gayle Thornton, Junior, Barbara Houlton, Intermediate, Denise Barrett, Senior, Shirley Richens. l.N.D.A. Our annual interschool track and field meet became l.N.D.A. this year when Tillson- burg dropped out of the competition. The meet was held in lngersolI's Cheese Bowl because of the lack of facilities in Aylmer. Since it rained throughout the morning, the usual field events were replaced by a sock hop in the l.D.C.I. gym. In spite of the weather the track events were held in the afternoon. Shirley Richens won the senior champion- ship and Denise Barrett tied for the intermediate championship. Ingersoll won the trophy for the most points in the senior division. The high- light of the meet was the announcement that Ingersoll had won the cup for the highest num- ber of points. Last year Frances Busch went to W.O.S.S.A. B where she won first place in the inter- mediate standing broad iump. Pat Osborn placed second in the senior IOO yard dash. Marion Budden placed sixth in the senior base- ball distance throw. Senior lnter-Form Volleyball There was a series of games played by inter-form volleyball teams. The two top teams, IZA and l2B, had a close play-off. The cham- pions were l2B. The players of the winning team wore: Shirley MacPherson, Wilma Holmes, Dianne Wilson, Marion Doust, Edna Montague, Kathleen Armstrong, Jean Wilson, Marion Gib- son and Esther Groom. Page 38 .lunior lnter-Form Volleyball This is the first year we have had inter- form volleyball. There was a series of games played at noon hour. There were eleven teams in the iunior league. The champions were IOB, who received crests. The players of the winning team were: Glenda Wilson, Carole Ann Mc- Leod, Mariorie Woods, Bev Sutherland, Mary Hunt, Rosemary Powell, Pat McCorquodale, Jean Brown, Ruth Spicer and Nancy Mac- Pherson. Senior Volleyball This was the first year that Ingersoll has had a girls' volleyball team. Although they did not have an entirely successful year, they won an exhibition game against Norwich, but lost a game to St. Marys High School. The play-off games for a chance in W.O.S.S.A. A competition were held this year in Ingersoll. The schools competing were Aylmer High School, St. Thomas Arthur Voaden Vocational School and Ingersoll District Col- legiate. The team from Aylmer won from both St. Thomas and Ingersoll teams. Therefore in the A competition held in London, the Ayl- mer team represented this district. The team this year was as follows: Mar- iorie Mott, captain, Judy Barnes, Denise Barrett, Betty Brewer, Pat Gilbert, Lois Gratton, Jean Hoag, Doreen Lambert, Carol Mott, Helen Pol- lard, Ann Walker, Marylou Wilkins. The team was coached by Miss Sisson. Junior Volleyball This was the first year our school had a iunior volleyball team. We played two exhibi- tion games. The first was a home game with Norwich, which we won. In the second, when we played St. Marys, our team was beaten, although we woke up and fought hard the last few minutes. Our only game in W.O.S.S.A. was played in our gym against St. Thomas. We lost that, but can't wait till next year to make up for it. Members of the team were: Elizabeth Scott, Nancy Pollard, Joan Hipperson, Joan Mott, Mary Stirling, Margaret Hoag, Lee Kestle, Caro- lyn Rine, Bonnie Morrison, Joyce Forbes, Ruth Woods and Lauraine Ferris. Senior Inter-Form Basketball The senior inter-form basketball included Grades ll, I2 and 13. Grade I3 won the championship after an exciting game with l2B who were tied with Grade I3 for first place. Members of the Grade I3 team were: forwards, Mary Sanderson, Elizabeth Forbes, Elizabeth Muterer, Suzanne Hutt, guards, Beth Tunney, Margery Sherlock, Marilyn Cornish, Shirley Richens. THE VOLT Junior lnter-Form Basketball The girls of lOA this season in iunior inter- form basketball won all the games they played. Much of their success is due to one of the forwards, Mary Longfield, the top scorer for the team. These games were played in the girls' gym at noon with the students of each room enthusiastically cheering their own team. Members of the winning team were: Eliza- beth Scott, Margaret Wilson, Carol Rooke, Mary Longfield, Noreen Hossack, Jean Budd, Pat Mc- Fadden, Shirley Hogg and Carol Little. Junior Basketball The iunior girls' basketball team had a suc- cessful year despite the fact that they won only two of their six league games. Miss M. Sisson moulded from seven newcomers and only five players back from last year, a team that was in contention right up until the last game. They lost it, 22-T5 to Aylmer and with it the right to represent the league in the W.O.S.S.A. A finals. ln exhibition play they beat Norwich, but lost to Paris and Delhi. Mary Stirling was the team captain and Joan Mott was the team's high scorer with 42 points in the six game schedule. Nancy Pollard was runner-up with 'l9. The team members were: Margaret Beynon, Janice Foote, Marg Hoag, Joan Hipperson, Barbara Houlton, Joan Mott, Carlita Phillips, Nancy Pollard, Carolyn Rine, Mary Stirling, Gayle Thornton, Glenda Wilson, Launi Wilson. Bark lake Camp The Ontario Camp Leadership Centre, lrondale, Ontario was my home-away from home for three weeks in July and August 1955. This camp is situated on the banks of Bark Lake, approximately seven miles from the town of lrondale. The purpose of the camp is to train girls from high schools and collegiates in all the Canadian provinces to lead children in profit and non-profit camps. The total number of girls at camp in i955 was l36 and they came from as far away as Quebec City. Among the courses taught at Bark Lake were camp craft, handicraft, canoeing, swim- ming, hiking, child-psychology and most im- portant, water safety. The last two days of camp were spent in trying various tests for certificates, bronze medalions, and silver cross. The Indian night, water regatta and over- night cookouts left me with fond memories of my three wonderful weeks at Bark Lake. Elizabeth Muterer, Grade l3 THE VOLT Senior Basketball This is the most successful year that the senior girls of l.D.C.l. have ever had. They won their own group competition by five games out of six to go on to the W.O.S.S.A. quarter finals. This game was lost to Owen Sound by a score of 26-l4. The following were the members of the team: forwards, Lois Gratton lcaptainl, Judy Barnes, Denise Barrett, Frances Busch, Doreen Lambert, Betty Brewer, guards, Mariorie Mott, Carol Mott, Helen Pollard, Sandra Mills, Aileen Cudney, Kathleen Armstrong, Mary Stirling, Ruthe Suggitt. Lois Gratton was voted the team's most valuable player and was high scorer with an average of 10.5 points per game. She was followed very closely by Frances Busch who averaged 9 points per game. Athletic Tea On March 21 the Girls' Athletic Society held a Spring Tea. The proceeds were to help purchase new equipment for the Athletic Society. The guests were received by Mrs. Herbert, Mrs. Bower, Mrs. Wilson and Miss Sisson. ln the cafeteria, decorated for the Easter season, Miss Stanton, Miss Fanning, Miss MacDonald and Lois Gratton, president of the Athletic Society, poured tea, while members of the executive and form representatives served refreshments. Afterwards the guests had a chance to inspect the display of work in the class rooms or to go to the gymnasium to see a fashion show and a display put on by the l.D.C.l. tumblers.

Senior Football Although they defeated Norwich in their first game of the season and finished the year with a win over the Grads, the senior football team didn't enioy too successful a season. Be- tween their opening and closing game triumphs, the boys dropped six games in a row. How- ever, prospects for next year's team are ex- cellent. A 6-3 triumph over Norwich in the open- ing game, gave the boys a little confidence in themselves, but they were not so fortunate in their other league encounters. St. Thomas hung an 11-7 verdict on the locals in Ingersoll. The game was played on the new playing field beside the school, but that factor did not seem to have much effect on the outcome. They next lost another home game, this time to Aylmer 6-O, in a nip and tuck affair. lngersoll's next three games were out of town. A fourth quarter splurge by Delhi en- abled that team to gain a 23-11 win. In Aylmer, the Blues scored a touchdown the first time they got their hands on the ball, but from there on it was AyImer's ball game, as they won by a 21-6 margin. In St. Thomas old Lady Luck was against the boys, as they suffered a 6-5 defeat. They outplayed the Red Devils in every aspect of play, but unfortunately they iust could not score that extra point. The final league game was played in Ingersoll and over again Ingersoll scored an early touchdown only to see Paris, who won the league championship without suffering a defeat, come back with five touchdowns and gain an easy 28-12 victory. The team got some consolation for their dismal season, however, as they pasted a 10-O on the Grads in the season's finale. Offensively Bruce Meckbach scored 16 points and was easily the team's leading ground gainer as he picked up 582 yards. Butch Freemantle, who didn't see too much action for the first three games, scored 15 points and gained 167 yards. Bill Bradfield who quarterbacked the team scored 10, Ken MacArthur who did most of the kicking scored 6 and John Osborn came up with one touch- down for 5 points. Page 42 its 1 -. Ken MacArthur, the most underrated player on the team, anchored the line defensively and offensively. Ken came through time and again with spectacular plays, particularly from his defensive linebacker position. Dave Poyntz, another linebacker, also played terrific ball. John Gazzola and Frank Allison also played well defensively throughout the year. Muir Sumner was the top pass receiver and Jon Pellow added more offensive power from his fullback position. The members of the senior football team were: Ends - Sumner, Mott, MacPherson, Foote, Boniface, Tackles - MacArthur, Allison, Mc- Kay, Whitwell, B. McLellan, Guards - Poyntz, Gazzola, Baxter, Hammond, Snaps - Mac- Donald, Holmes, Flying Wings - Houston, Os- born, Quarterbacks - Bradfield, J. McLellan, Halves - Meckbach, Freemantle, Pellow, Fisher, Chisholm, Pembleton. Junior Rugby The iunior rugby team represented the school in the annual two-game series with St. Marys.

Doug McConnell took the senior cup with 8 points and Doug Fitzmorris, the iuvenile cup with 8 points. W.O.S.S.A.

I 4 '- ' Q Tv g x Junior Basketball This year's iunior basketball team was one of the most successful teams produced at the l.D.C.l. in many years. From early season exhibition games right through to the final game, the team looked very powerful, losing only five games in fifteen starts. Three out of these five losses were exhibition games. The team, under their coach Mr. Lewis, saw only one defeat in the six game schedule, losing to St. Joseph's of St. Thomas by a score of 55 to 43. After winning the four team league of Aylmer, St. Joseph's, Arthur Voaden Vocational and Ingersoll, the team went on to the W.O.S.S.A. quarter finals in which they de- feated Owen Sound by a score of 37 to 30. ln the semi-finals played in London, they re- ceived their only serious defeat, losing to Leamington D.C.l. by a score of 72 to 74. In other league games on their home floor, Ingersoll defeated Arthur Voaden, 39-30, St. Joseph's, 38-34 and Aylmer, 42-40. On out of town courts they defeated Aylmer 50-36 and Arthur Voaden 26-25. Their only defeat came from St. Joseph's by a score of 55-43. In exhibition games the boys defeated St. Marys twice and Norwich once in the early season, while Woodstock defeated them twice and Beck Collegiate in London defeated them once. Members of the team were: Paul Noe, Doug Wilson, Allen Mott, Cliff Martin, Ross Holmes, Blair Foote, Gail MacKay, Karl Long- field, Allan Cox, Ted Bowman and John Murray. Senior Basketball This year's senior basketball team had a rather unsuccessful season, as it won only one game out of six. The boys got off on the wrong foot, los- ing their first two games, to St. Thomas Tech., 46-43 and to Aylmer, 74-59. They came to life however in the third game in Ingersoll when they edged out a 43-42 decision over St. .loe's who were league cham- pions. In the next game Ingersoll played host to Aylmer and dropped a 43-46 decision in a closely fought contest. The next two games were both in St. Thomas where the team lost to St. Joe's, 66-22 and to Tech., 55-49, to round out the regular schedule. Along the exhibition circuit the boys split with St. Marys, winning 42-31 at home, but dropping a 46-32 verdict in St. Marys. In a rather lopsided duel the seniors crushed Nor- wich, 64-34. However, they came out on the short end in two games with Woodstock which they lost, 59-42 and 65-31 and in the game with London Teachers' College which they lost, 44-31. One of the highlights of the season was the Grad game in which a combined, senior- iunior team defeated the Grads, 38-34. The members of the senior team were: Muir Sumner, Martin Herbert, Jim Coles, John Osborn, Ken MacArthur, Bob Simpson, Bill Armes, Richard Armes, Bill Telfer and Jack Wallace. r I John J. C.

The games were played at noon hour and were refereed by the members of the senior basketball team. The noon-hour league was supervised by Mr. Mortimer. The league was divided into two groups with the iuniors from Grades 9 and IO and the seniors from Grades 11, 12 and 13. The iunior teams played good basketball with IOB and 9C ending up on top of the league for the play-offs. 9C won the championship game in a last minute foul shot making the score Grade 9C-16, Grade 10B--14. The players of the winning iunior team from 9C were: Capt. Blair Foote, Ross MacPherson, Bill McCready, Gary Wright, George Cuthbert, Doug William- son, Alex Strachan, Mike Smith and Ron Sack- rider. The highest scorer in the iunior division was Blair Foote. The senior inter-form basketball teams played very good basketball with Grade 13 followed by 12A ending on top of the league.

Doug Mc- Connell, Auke Faber, Bill Chisholm, Bruce Meck- bach, Bernie Houston, Wayne Elgie, Don Mc- Allister.

On May the eleventh, a fine sunny spring day, the inspection began with a general salute the inspection of our four companies by and Brig. T. G. Gibson, Area Commander of W.O., Col. C. F. Oerton, I8th Militia Group Lieut. H.O., Lieut. P. Drohan, Assistant Cadet Train- ing Officer, London, Ontario. The march past followed this. Then company and platoon drill terminated the marching. For the first time also, our cadets were led by our own trumpet band which played some excellent selections throughout the programme under the direction of Cdt. Lt. L. Johnson. The colour party consisted of: Cdt. Lt. R. Billings, Cdt. Lt. W. Wark, Cdt. Sgt. H. Hammond, Cdt. Sgt. G. Roberts, Cdt. Sgt. J. Faber The officers of the cadet corps for I954-I955 were: Bn. C.O., T.

Number IO9 Cadet Corps, Ingersoll, rank- ed fourth in the Western Ontario area in all groups and second in our B group, losing by one heartbreaking point. Guided by Cdt. Capt. J. Gazzola, the precision squad gave a fine display. The demonstration squads tweapons and signalsi put on a superb performance with the anti-tank gun and the two Bren groups. The signals display, set up as an infantry battalion in action, operated in good military fashion. This group was led by Cdt. Mai. T. Tyson. The first aid display took advantage of the rugby field which served as an excellent battlefield l??J. The track served as a fine stretch for two speeding recovery vehicles. ISt. John's and P. T. Walker's ambulancesl. Par- ticipants in this display were selected from Grade XI first aid class. Another first for an l.D.C.l. inspection was the selected infantry platoon of cadets who displayed field craft maneuvres and tactics on the sports' field.

Here a group of cadets, known as Banff Company, chosen for their leadership ability and cadet interests to repre- sent Ontario at the National Cadet Camp in Banff, Alberta, was under the command of our principal, Maior J. C. Herbert. Our training period completed, we travel- led on a first class transcontinental flyer west- ward. The main camp, at which we stayed for most of our visit, was situated at the foot of towering Cascade Mountain, four miles from the town of Banff along the Lake Minnewanka road. Our three-week stay was divided into a week of bivouac camp, a week of sightseeing and a week of military training. At the bivouac camp, six miles from our main camp, we enioyed outdoor life in a valley between two ranges of mountains. Despite zero temperatures at night and the occasional animal roaming through the temporary camp, we slept snugly in very warm sleeping-bags. We had what was a new experience for most of us, a taste of mountain climbing up Sulphur Mountain. In the week of sightseeing tours we visited pure-green Emerald Lake and Radium Hot Springs in Kootenay National Park in British Columbia, beautiful Lake Louise, Moraine Lake and enioyed a launch-ride on Lake Minne- THE VOLT wanka and a thrilling ride up the Mount Norquay Ski Lift. In our week of training we were instructed in first aid, mountain rescue work, bridge build- ing, foot drill on the parade square and a con- centrated course in the art of iu-iitsu. However, not all our time was organized. When off duty, we went into the town of Banff where every Tuesday and Thursday evening the students of the Banff School of Fine Arts spon- sored a dance at their chalet on Tunnel Moun- tain. Other entertainment in Banff was trail riding, canoeing, swimming and movies. Once each week there was a free bingo in the can- teen at the main camp with fifty dollars in prizes at stake. Each evening ten cadets had the honour of being entertained in the ballroom of the luxurious Banff Springs Hotel. This trip was very interesting and edu- cational. I gained much from the iourney across Canada and from the close association with cadets of other provinces.

Our iunior debating started out with twenty-two teams in competition. The first and second rounds saw half of the debaters eliminated. The topics chosen for debate were: Country life has more advantages than city life. Television is more helpful than detri- mental to high school students. The barbarian leads a happier life than the civilized man. Immigration to Canada should be re- stricted. Students attending schools of more than 650 students have greater advantages than students attending smaller schools. After some eight weeks, the debates pro- gressed into the semi-finals. The semi-finalists were: on the winners' side, 9G and 9D, on the consolation side, IOA and IOC. The final debates were held on Wednes- day, March 21. Those participating in the winners' series were: Marilyn Avis, June Benson and Joyce Roberts I9Gi versus Tom Parker, Donna Simpson and Douglas Wilson I9Dl. The winning team was 9D. Those participating in the consolation series were: Ted Gilling, Pat McFadden and Jim LaFlamme IIOAi versus Allan Fuller, Bill Armes and Colin MacArthur IIOCI. The winning team was IOA. Crests were presented to these two winn- ing teams by the Literary Society. Janice Robins, Grade 9G Senior Debating There were ten teams from Grades II and I2 in the senior debates this year. The first topic for debate was Resolved that capital punishment should be abolished. The winners of this debate continued in the winners' series and the losers entered the consolation award. The next topic Resolved that there should be a curfew for teen-agers under sixteen years of age was debated by both divisions. The debate for the semi-final of the winners' divis- ion was Resolved that ten thousand dollars is better than a Bachelor of Arts degree. This was also the final debate for the consolation award. The team of Sheila Foster Icaptainl, Julie Cragg and Elizabeth McCullough were the winners over the team of Jim Geddie Icap- taini, Peter Little and John Osborn. In a thrilling climax a team from IIA com- posed of Jackie Douglas Icaptainl, Harry Mur- ray and Janette Brown defeated a team from I2A composed of Dave Woolley Icaptainl, Jon Pellow and Martin Herbert. The topic was Resolved that schools with an enrolment of six hundred and fifty pupils have more advan- tages than schools which have an enrolment under four hundred. The team from IIA proved that larger schools are more advan- tageous than smaller ones. Crests were presented to these teams by the Literary Society.

We had meetings every second Wednesday when Mr. Fullerton came from Stratford to instruct us in the year's program on good woodlots. We had one trip to the Wood-Mosaic in Woodstock where we saw how wood is pro- cessed from the tree to the finished product. In October Alan Baigent attended a dinner meeting of the Upper Thames River Conserva- tion Authority where he received a shield and a cheque for obtaining the highest number of points of any forestry club member in the Thames River watershed. At an Achievement Night, held by the Kiwanis Club in Mt. Elgin, the Bruce Dickout Shield was awarded to Alan Baigent. The club was sponsored by the Kiwanis Club with one of its members, usually Mr. Alex Amos, being present at each meeting. The assistant zone forester, Mr. Fullerton, and Mr. W. Montgomery, the agriculture teacher at the school, were the club leaders.

The course itself consisted of foot-drill, rifle drill, fieldcraft, map reading, technique of instruction, light infantry weapons and ath- Ietics. During the period at camp, four days were spent at the Tented Camp. Here the training was concentrated more on fieldcraft. Many recreational facilities were available at the camp. Competitions were held in base- ball, basketball, volleyball, track and field, table tennis and swimming. Nightly movies as well as a trip out of camp filled in our spare time.

E VOLT Page65 The Bisley Shooting Competition Last summer as a member of the Royal Army Cadet Bisley team, I had the honour and privilege to represent Canada and the Royal Canadian Army cadets at the National Rifle Association shooting matches held at Bisley, England. The main objective ofthe team, which con- sisted of eleven boys, was to try to win the Alexander Graham Bell Trophy which is sup- plied by the Canadian Army cadets for com- petition in England, between British and Can- adain cadets. In a close competition held at the Bisley ranges the Canadian team defeated the British team, 726 to 724. It was a com- bined total of two ranges of two hundred and five hundred yards. The rifle used was the standard .303. Our second obiective was to give the people we met a good impression of Canadian youth. I believe that we did our best for Canada in this respect. On the l6th of June the team met at Montreal and sailed on the 5.5. Neptunia to England. After landing at Southampton we travelled through beautiful countryside to Bis- ley. The team fired two weeks at Bisley. We fired not only against cadets but also against experienced veterans who helped us immensely. The team next proceeded to Chelsea Barracks in London and toured for one week. We visit- ed many well known places and landmarks. During our stay in England we were the guests of the Imperial Cadet Association and nothing was too much trouble for them. To keep a close check on us we had two officers, Colonel Buell, the Commandant of the team, and Colonel Dow, the Adiutant. Through the courtesy of the R.C.A.F. we were transported by Dakota to Germany, where we were the guests of the Canadian Brigade, who gave us a warm welcome. Here, too, we had an opportunity to visit several interesting and historical places. On our return to England we were trans- ported to Liverpool, where we boarded the Em- press of Scotland for the return iourney to Canada. A This trip was a memorable one for me. I made many friends and visited many interest- ing places. The team fulfilled all its obiectives and created a good impression for Canada. I hope that in future years some other fortunate student from our school may have the thrilling experience that I enioyed this past summer. Ron Wilson, Grade l2A After Graduation . .

The maiden's hair was copper brown, Her eyes were starry bright, A rosy flush was on her cheek, She loved this handsome knight. Her father was a selfish man, He wanted her to stay Forever by his ailing side, To while the time away. He knew she had her life to live, He knew she loved the knight, He told her she'd have lots of time, He knew that he was right. So, much against her father's wish, Before the break of day, The lovers on a prancing steed, Stole silently away. Her Iover's face was dark and grim His brow was wet with sweat, He knew the greatness of his crime, He'd heard her father's threat. I For he had sworn the man to kill That ever she did wed. Yet many men had woo'd the maid, And each had lost his head. As through the dark of night they sp They heard a far-off sound - It was her father's cavalry, And quickly gaining ground.

Jette, Prop. Corner At Post Office Phone I I I7 Ontario Athletic Leadership Camp I was chosen to represent our school at the Ontario Athletic Leadership Camp at Lake Couchiching. Boys from schools in Ontario attended this camp which is sponsored by the Department of Education. The ideals of the camp have changed somewhat in the past five years, as it once was a training camp for future Canadian Olympic stars. Now it is a leadership camp where the boys learn the fun- damentals, rules and ideals of good sports- manship as well as develop their own skill under proficient coaches. Each boy on return- ing to his own school is required to relay his knowledge to his schoolmates. On our arrival we were divided into cabin groups of ten. In the evening we were given our instructions for the following days. During the next two days we covered the fundamentals of almost every sport. Then we broke into our regular routine of the four maior sports, foot- ball basketball track and field and swimming plus one of our own choice. Each day we were given lessons to prepare in each of our sports and on the following day we had to teach ci group of boys Evenings were broken into periods. The first of these was an evaluation period. I this we talked over the instruction of the day and what we had learned. The second was a tournament put on by one of the cabin groups This gave the boys a chance to organize and direct a sport besides providing enioyment for the other boys. The third and final period was a variety show operated on the same prin ciple as the tournaments The highlights were a track meet a swim camp, as well as our religious services ln the two weeks I spent at Lake Couchi ching I benefited both mentally and physically Muir Sumner Grade I3 Phone 858 Ingersoll Ont COMPLIMENTS OF Midtown Motors NEW AND USED CARS BOUGHT AND SOLD We'll Be Here To-morrow To Back Up What We Sold Today TEXACO PRODUCTS Harrison's Service Station and Garage LUBRICATION, WASHING, TIRE REPAIRS, TUNE UPS, TOWING SERVICE Secundus Nulli SMOKERS' SUPPLIES AND REFRESHMENTS Phone 971 Cor.
