Staff Changes This year we lost three of our teachers, but gained seven new ones. 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.

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.
