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.

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.
