The publication of the Kencoll can now be added to this list. Kennedy was for some time without a year-book; but in presenting the third publication of the Kencoll, we feel that, with the support and co-operation of all the students, it will become a traditional part of Kennedy. This magazine is the result of untiring efforts on the part of a large number of students; and is presented in the hope that their achievements will meet with your approval. We wish to thank Mr. Gilbert, Miss Hewitt, Miss Bondy. Mr. Riggs, and Mr. Brown for the able assistance, and helpful suggestions that they have so generously given us. We express special thanks to the Forum for its financial backing, and to George Edwards, and his assistants, for their efficient handling of the business details of the magazine. May you, our Readers, derive as much pleasure from reading the Kencoll as we, the Staff, do in presenting it to you! In fB r nt n r t a m The passing of Mrs. A. F. S. Gilbert, wife of our esteemed Principal, took from Ken¬ nedy Collegiate Institute a friend whose loss cannot be readily estimated. A teacher her¬ self before her marriage, she had a keen, broad understanding of schools and their problems. Patience, sympathy, and humour combined to make her a helpful friend to both teachers and students. With her hus¬ band, we mourn the loss of a noble woman. 4 THE KENCOLL 1941 ..........mm.........timilli EDITORIAL VOL. Ill _ — KENCOLL — _1941. Published By the Students of the Kennedy Collegiate Institute Windsor, Ontario Price 25c per copy IMPORTANCE OF EDUCATION Percy P. McCallum When a number of elements are brought to¬ gether under favorable conditions, each one yields certain constituents, thus forming a compound. This axiom applies as well to society as to the natural sciences and is more noticeable as civil¬ ization advances. Every life wields an influence and in so doing helps to mould our civilization. Every new invention or discovery brings before us new problems which must be solved. With this fact in view is it any wonder that conditions are steadily being changed? Considering the forces that are continually being brought to bear on our lives and deeds, is it surprising that the declining generation looks with wonder and sometimes doubt upon our works? Men are governed by ambition to accomplish great projects and to form those projects into definite designs and oftentimes, in their passion for honor or gain, lose sight of the public good. The Canadian people early recognized the fact that intellectual enlightenment can do more to protect our nation than all the armament in the world. Looking about us, we behold countries utterly gone to ruin because of the absence of that high type of civilization so pre-eminent in our native land. This should have, and has, aroused among us an intense interest in educa¬ tion. Under the Canadian system, education has flourished. The students of yesterday—the men and women of today—often envy us the educa¬ tional advantages which we enjoy. And so shall we, the students of today, envy those of tomor¬ row. It seems indeed incredible to us that our fathers should have had opportunities so far in¬ ferior to our own. Yet such has been the case. The secondary school is now being looked to with more appreciation than ever before. It used to be said “As our college boy goes, so goes our nation,” but now it is said “As our secondary school boy and girl goes, so goes our nation.” It is in this study stage of learning that plans are formed for the future. It is here that the courses of industry and achievement which we expect to follow are thoroughly surveyed. When Tillotson asks, “Is he a prudent man as to his temporal estate, who lays designs only for a day, without prospect to the remaining part of his life?” we promptly answer “he is not.” But we can look farther than a mere temporality and consider what influence our lives shall wield on those who are to come. Surely there cannot be a more important period in our lives than this. The educated young man of today has every reason to thank the stars under which he was born. Behind him is the teaching of the civilized world—the poetry and art of Greece, the laws and the institutions of Rome, the growth of Christianity, of invention, science, art, poetry and philosophy. Behind him is the history of the Anglo-Saxon race, its courage and deeds of valor, its profound earnestness and stern ideals. Around him lies a new land of promise with its people of pride, energy, intelligence, and high enthusiasm. Before him lies the development of a great and unique civilization, a wonder of ma¬ terial progress, a rare growth of poetic power and a free spirit under a new fostering of conditions. Before the youth of this state is the possibility of success in any pursuit, of rise to influence, of contribution to the formative period of a new commonwealth. There is every inducement to be courageous, energetic, and ideal men. Those who made our history are rapidly passing away and the rising generation must take up the re¬ sponsibility. The educated young man of today is the heir of all the ages. All that science, art, literature, philosophy and civilization have achieved is his. All that thought has realized through ages of slow progress, all that has been learned through the mistakes made in the dim light of the dawn of human history, lie may rea¬ lize by the process of individual education. Those who aim at medicine, theology, law or teaching, who aim at the best development of their powers, need all the education they can gain before they enter upon independent labor. All need a broad foundation of general knowledge and skill. Our grandfathers got along with the grammar school, the academy, and the apprentice system. V e need the secondary school, the col¬ lege, the university and the professional school. Some men go into the field of labour without map, implements, or skill and then wonder why they do not succeed. Only trained minds can succeed in the modern world. THE KENCOLL 1941 5 .....iifHitiiiiiiMiitiiiiiHiiiiiiiaioiiiHiiMiiMiiHMiMHHHiii ' iituiiimitHiMuaiHiitHMiiMiiiiiiiiimitiii MODERN WEAPONS By Mr. B. Brown Often we think that winning the war is a mat¬ ter of more guns, more ’planes, more tanks, more ships, more bombs; and we may feel that unless we are piling up those weapons, we are not doing our share toward winning the final victory. But. when we stop to think, we realize that there are other weapons just as necessary as those that deal out death and destruction. A successful army must have doctors, auditors, nurses, dieti¬ tians, typists, engineers, “padres,” translators, radio operators, secretaries, and dozens of other types of highly skilled “soldiers” from profes¬ sional or clerical occupations. So we are “drill¬ ing,” even if we are in the classroom rather than on the parade ground, and we are getting ready for active service when we study chemistry and shorthand just as surely as if we were doing a route march. Since this is the commercial department’s con¬ tribution we might go on to point out that the modern army can ' t get along without well-trained office workers. A regiment moves at the com¬ mand of a typed message, and the colonel reports to G.H.Q. from his well-equipped mobile office. Secretaries and typists are as necessary in an aeroplane factory as are riveters and machinists. An efficient stenographer may easily be worth more to a busy production engineer than twenty men in the shop. “This time we are all in the front line.” HIGH SCHOOL MAGIC Mr. A. F. S. Gilbert A student enters High School as a young boy or girl, and leaves it a young man or woman. What transpires in the five years is not noticed by the changling, but the parents and teachers note the wonders of adolescence. Can this young man be the same little fellow we knew five years ago? What happens during school life? It usually takes time for a freshman student to realize that a teacher is trying to think ahead for him. To him. too often the teacher is just a slave driver, trying to make him work. He objects to too much work, and some times clashes of minds occur. A teacher has a long-range view, a stu¬ dent, a more immediate one. A teacher sees the boy five years hence, the student knows today. He sees little purpose in attending High School until a few years have past and perhaps not even then. He does not altogether comprehend that he is building his future happiness. The present at times seems so unhappy. Why study this subject or that subject when it appears to have little realistic value? Why not drop the subjects that cause a little grief? Life is not made up of one round of pleasure. School life is real life, and students must learn to evaluate it. Your accomplishments in school life may have—in fact, they will have—a very great influence on your future life. If you de¬ velop proper work habits through school, you will keep them always, but if you persist in doing otherwise, it will likely be a story of trial and error for you, as life goes on, until it becomes im¬ printed in your mind that true accomplishment comes o nly from self-imposed hard work. Your teachers are your friends; they strive in every way to make you become successful. Your suc¬ cess is their pleasure. However much a teacher desires to see you become a success will not make you successful. Only one person has control of what you do in life, and that one person is your¬ self. YOU must write your own examinations— You are the only one who can do the studying— You are the only one who can live your own life. Your parents, your teachers and your other friends glory in your achievements, but they can¬ not achieve for you. Unless you realize that it is your own personal responsibility and effort that gets you through school successfully, and later through life, no amount of talking on the part of your friends can help you. They may advise,— you yourself are master of your destiny. As a ninth grader, visualize yourself as one of the students in Form V. As a Fifth former, visualize what you want to be five years hence, and then put forth every effort on your part to reach your goal. Your goal will change as the years go on, but having worked towards it will give you happiness, and the satisfaction of ac¬ complishment. MISS ESTELLE HEWSON Secretary of Red Cross May the twelfth is known throughout the Brit¬ ish Empire especially as RED CROSS DAY, it being the day of Florence Nightingale’s birth, and is celebrated in commemoration of her life and work, among the needy and suffering. Also on May 24th we celebrate Empire Day, when all Britishers again re-dedicate themselves to hon¬ our and service to their King and Country. With these two anniversaries in mind in this second year of the war our people are again asked are they doing everything within their own power to prepare to advance the highest interests of the Empire in both peacetime and war;—to cherish patriotism, practice discipline, subdue self, work for others and consider the poor and suffering. Especially among the thousands and thousands of Red Cross members this duty should be con¬ sidered before all other rights. We at least have the right to choose in what capacity we can serve our Country, and each and every one of us should analyze ourselves and ask “Are we doing as much as we can. 5 ' Money given is not enough in it¬ self.—those who can knit must keep on knitting the innumerable articles required for our armed forces and needy civilians. Those who can sew should offer to help with the hundreds of gar¬ ments being made daily to send to those English civilians who so gallantly are facing the nightly bombings and evacuations from their own homes without clothing or coverings. Even the most amateur person can make quilt tops, and sew strips for rugs.

CONDITIONS THAT MAKE FOR SUCCESS OR FAILURE IN SCHOOL Dorothy Little What causes success or failure in school? The attitude of the pupil may influence this greatly If he comes to school just because he has nothing else to do, or because he is interested in school sports, he is not likely to make a success of his school work. He probably never has the right books for his classes, and never looks at them outside of school He does not get his supple¬ mentary books read on time, and thus loses the bonus marks he could have used very nicely He is late once or twice, and did not bother coming to school one Friday afternoon. More marks gone! He feels quite pleased with himself when he gets his per cent by a decimal point. Exam¬ inations do not worry him much. On his time table, there is a morning or an afternoon free to Study, if he feels like it. for almost every examina¬ tion. When the results come out, he says, Oh, well! 1 never did understand French A pupil who has the ambition to make a suc¬ cess of his school work does not usually fall be¬ hind in his work, but does his homework regu¬ larly, The future is in bis mind constantly. An interest in school sports makes for suc¬ cess in school. A pupil will put a little more ef¬ fort into his studying, so that he may get his per cent, to play on the team. Taking a part in the school play gives one dramatic training, and is a help in English A member of the or¬ chestra or glee club probably has more success in music than one who is not interested in these activities. The camera club provides excellent instruction in the construction and operation of a camera. This proves useful in Physics A per¬ son who works in the library gets a better knowl¬ edge of books and literature as well as learning the work of a librarian. One cannot be a success in everything. One should try to train himself for a career along his special line, but, in doing so, must not neglect all other subjects. To be a success in the world takes good honest work TO THE STUDENTS After three or four years at Kennedy Collegiate a student begins to realize the advantages that are made available to 3iim, Yet this realization is abstract. The advantages are not accepted at their full value by the average student. For this reason interest in the school tends to become slack. What can be done about it? Every student can, and should, do his utmost to create a great deal more fellowship and understanding among his fellow students. The contacts and friends that we make now, in High School, are to our credit later in life. There are activities in this school to satisfy the individual likes, charac¬ teristics, and personalities of every student. If everyone would try to take an interest in his school activities, the usual routine of coming to, and going from school would be broken. An attraction for school itself, aside from after-school activities would he developed and school would not seem dull Get interested! Take advantage of the facilities offered to you, and make your school, the Kennedy Collegiate Institute, what it ought to be, a home for your education. The success of a school depends on the ability of the students to succeed. Within the remaining space allotted to me, I should like to mention a few of the achievements of this year ' s Forum Under the supervision of your governing body, the Forum has functioned exceedingly well this year The Keneoll would not have been published without the financial backing of the Forum. The business manager, George Edwards, and the edi¬ tor, Virginia DeLaurier, deserve a great deal of credit for their work on this magazine This year the members of the social committee have outdone themselves in the splendid dances we have enjoyed Bouquets to Shirley Lewis, chairman of the committee. One tenth of our net receipts this year is going to the Red Cross to aid in its war work. The achievements of the Forum are too numer¬ ous to mention fully here. All the clubs in the school are under the jurisdiction of your Forum. That is something to remember the Forum is your Forum ft can continue to do its good work only with your support Come out to the games At¬ tend the dances. Join a club. Enjoy your school.

THE KENNEDY CADET CORPS Last Fall the first cadet corps in many years was formed at Kennedy. Under the guidance of Mr. Chapman the fundamental functions of cadet work were begun. However, before much could be done, winter cut short outdoor drill work and further drilling was postponed until Spring. Now that warm weather has returned, the boys are again drilling regularly. We may hear a lot of groans and moans on the campus, but the only way to be ready for any emergency is to be pre¬ pared. Signal Corps The Signal Corps has been forging steadily for¬ ward. Of late a great deal of work, under the watchful eyes of Mr. Beckett, has been success¬ fully accomplished. Signal flags were received from London late last Fall and kept the work progressing until electrical apparatus could be obtained. Since several keys and receivers are now in operation, the boys in this division are among the most enthusiastic in the school. Officer’s Class Requiring experienced officers for the cadet corps, Mr. Chapman organized an officers’ class which meets every Wednesday noon. Those who attend are taught army movements and how to teach them to others. These boys have become proficient in their movements; so much so of late that a large crowd of admirers has been crowding into the gymnas¬ ium and around the campus to watch them drill. Their snappy appearance and skill in manoeuvres show the great deal of work Mr. Chapman has done in so short a time. Now that the cadet corps is drilling again, there should be less work for Mr. Wills as the work will be fairly distribut¬ ed among the officers. Bugle Band Kennedy’s Bugle band several years ago was known throughout the country for the way it went about capturing all the trophies. One glance at the showcase in front of the library is enough to convince anyone that nothing was too great a task for this band. However, the band vanished and did not appear again until this year. Now, once again, Kennedy has blossomed forth and produced a bugle baud that could bring houour to the school in any competition. Lately it has been playing for the officers’ class and under competent guidance has shown that it will be a worthy successor to Kennedy’s former out¬ standing bugle bands. ON KENNEDY! THE KENCOLL 1941 9 FOOTBALL COACHES - - - AND OTHERS By Elsie Patterson “It ' s a hap-hap-happy day,” sang a voice muffled by the sound of the shower running at full force. Bill Morton, freshman at Greenwood College, had awakened that Saturday morning with one thought in his mind— this was to be his great day. Three minutes sufficed for the shower, five for dressing, and barely thirty seconds to bound down the stairs to breakfast. Bill gulped down his cereal and toast as fast as it was served to him by Mrs. O’Riley, proprietress of “The Greenwood Boarding House”, which offered special rates for students. “Sure, I can’t imagine why you’re in such a hurry,” Mrs. O’Riley exclaimed as Bill swallowed his last bite. ' ‘You’ll have chronic indigestion before you arc a day older, if you eat your meals at that rate.” It was that dear woman ' s peculiar pleasure to regale her boarders with sad tales about the weak stomachs that had been the plague of her family from the begin¬ ning of time. She was about to enter upon a vivid de¬ scription of Uncle William’s latest symptoms, for Bill’s benefit; the latter decided that an explanation of his haste would save time and avoid embarrassing comparisons. “There is a very- important football practice at the stadium this morning,” he began. “The coach told one of the fellows that 1 have a t airly good chance of being chosen for the starting team for the next game. It isn’t often that a first-year man is taken off the bench so early in the season.” Mrs. O’Riley beamed with pride as she congratulated Bill. She was as proud of her boarders’ successes as any mother would be of her own children’s achievements. Then the boy made a dash towards the front door. He reappeared in the dining room a moment later. “I forgot to tell you that I won’t be here for lunch. There is going to be a dinner at the college refectory. It is an annual affair, and Coach Cook, a graduate of Greenwood, is coming from Toronto to be the special guest.” As he started on his way again, lie was interrupted by the door bell ringing. “I’ll sec who it is,” he shouted to Mrs. O ' Riley. “Telegram for William Morton,” were the words that greeted him when he opened the door. Bill signed for it; he read the message on the slip of yellow paper sev¬ eral times, as if he could not grasp its meaning. Mrs. O’Riley came into the hall. “Is something wrong. Bill?” she asked when she saw his dejected countenance. “Mother is arriving in town this morning on the 10:30 train. I shall have to meet her. of course,” he replied. The tone of his voice revealed Bill’s great disappointment. This would be the first time his mother had visited him since he had entered Greenwood, and it would be won¬ derful to see her again—but why did it have to happen on this day? There would be no football practice for him. If Bill met the train, he could not rush away im¬ mediately leaving Mrs. Morton to sit idle at his boarding house. He tried to console himself with the thought that he would be making a small payment on the debt he owed his mother who bad given up many pleasures to send him to college. His decision was made more difficult by the remembrance of the coach’s repeated warning: “If a fellow can’t get out to the field on Sat¬ urday, he need not expect to be chosen for the team.” Bill whistled a mournful tune as he walked to the station. He pushed through the Saturday crowds, and made enquiries at a wicket about the trains from the east. “Son. that west-bound train arrives at 11:30,” said the busy little station agent. “But.” the boy continued, “I thought it came an hour earlier.” “I can ' t help what you thought,” snapped the man. “That train will pull in here this morning at the same time it has for the last ten years, half past eleven.” This statement was made with emphasis and rising annoy¬ ance. Bill moved diplomatically away from the peevish fel¬ low. He sat down on a wooden bench to wait and to ponder over his bad luck. Time passed slowly. The hands of the large station clock seemed to stand still. Bill compared his watch with the station ' s correct time. At that very moment, when he was becoming thoroughly bored, a gaudily dressed women approached him. Her appearance was made quite ludicrous by the two big baskets she carried, one in each hand. The boy ' s waning spirits were aroused when he suddenly found himself left alone with the four grey hens that these baskets con¬ tained. “You won’t mind keeping them for me while I go shopping, will you,” their owner informed Bill. “I’m expecting my husband on the train from the cast. If you see Mr. Smithers,—you can’t miss his brown derby —tell him to wait for me here. I’m much obliged to you for being so kind.” Before a protest could be voiced, Mrs. Smithers was gone. Bill’s task was no easy one, for his charges were very much alive. They soon discovered the fact that it was a simple matter to escape from their open baskets. All four, at the same instant, were seized with a sudden desire tor exercise. Accordingly they departed in four different directions. A mad scramble ensued as Bill pursued his flock. In the confusion kindly travellers helped him to retrieve the truants. The birds were again docile in their baskets when the 11:30 train arrived. A feeling of relief swept over Bill when he spied a brown derby descending from a coach. He would have just time enough to surrender the liens to Mr. Smithers before he sought out his mother among the new arrivals. “Mr. Smithers, here are your hens, he called out as the man passed near him. The derby did not waver from its course. Bill could not let this opportunity slip through his fingers. Scooping up the hens lie ran out of the waiting-room, and accosted Mr. Smithers as he was entering a taxi. “Here are your hens,” the boy exclaimed breathlessly. “I almost missed you.” The face under the brown derby displayed a friendly grin of recognition. “I was beginning to wonder where the reception committee was hiding,’ said the pleasant voice that belonged to the smiling countenance. “Hop in, my boy. We’ll drive right over to the college.” “But Mrs. Smithers wants you to wait for her in the station,” gasped Bill, “and I must meet my mother.” The man chuckled. “The boys are playing the same pranks they did in the old days. Before 1 explain. I should introduce myself. I’m Coach Cook, class of 1912.” The puzzled expression on the boy ' s face changed to one of respect. There was not a boy in Greenwood who did not fairly worship Coach Cook, and they all hoped that the near future would find him coaching the Green¬ wood College teams. Then Mr. Cook related to Bill all that had happened to him that morning. “This same joke was played on me thirty years ago, he explained. “It never changes, but it is only used on a new fellow who is sure-fire stuff for the team. I’ll never forget how worried I was when I thought I had lost my chance to make the team. I played in the big game though, and you will too, never fear. You’ll enjoy the feasting on those chickens too,” he added; “and you ' ll never see Mrs. Smithers again, to know her, unless you happen to be chosen next year to masquerade as that dear woman.” As they drove off towards the school. Bill could not restrain himself from humming softly, “Happy days are here again.” — DOWLERS- Smart Clothes for Students Always Head the “Honor Roll” in Style and Value . . .

Two cham¬ pionship s were won in Football, while the Hockey and Basketball teams, though not quite so successful, won respect and admiration from their opponents and fol¬ lowers. Senior Football 1 he Kennedy Senior Football Team coached bjjr Mr. Wills, was extremely successful this year. Led by Gerald Duck, Jack Hobbs, Bob Callen, and Darwell Tisdale who were chosen as members oi the all-city team, the Clippers finished the season in a tie for first place. In the play¬ offs our boys eliminated Patterson, due largely to a spectacular run by Walter Zybura; then the boys met Vocational for the championship. In a close, hard- fought game our boys again emerged victorious. Thus the first city championship of the year was brought to Kennedy. Junior Football Once again our Junior Football team went through an undefeated season. This makes the third consecutive year that our Juniors, under the able coaching of Mr. Chapman, have won the city championship without a single defeat. After finishing first in the league the Juniors eliminated Sandwich and Vocational to win the previously mentioned title. Ted Mallender, Tommy Barton. Jim Murphy and Captain “Gabby” Granziol were the main cogs in the extremely successful season. Because of the war neither of these two football teams was able to travel out of the city in quest of further laurels. However it is certain that if they had been able to travel, more trophies would have been added. Senior Hockey The senior hockey team had a fairly successful season this year. The team played fine hockey throughout the season and ended up in second place. In the play-offs our boys were eliminated, in a sudden death game with Assumption, by one goal. Jack Hobbs, Eric Tanner and Ken Young led the team to victory in most of the games. Other members of the team were—Lancaster, Wallace, Macpherson, Edgar. Abilgaard. Jones, Duck, and Gray. Poor support from the student body, even though public skating was offered after the games, hampered this team greatly. Junior Hockey The Junior hockey team managed to reach the play¬ offs but were eliminated in the semi-final round by Vocational. H. Hobbs, Borton. and Coulson were the mainstays of this team. Other players were Curok. Cape, Cates, Odierna, DeLorcnzic, Hunter, Beadow, and War¬ wick. Both of these hockev teams were ably coached by Mr. Wills. Senior Basketball At the beginning of the year Mr. Chapman announced that he would be unable to coach the basketball teams. This was a serious loss. However, Mr. Riggs volun¬ teered to take over the coaching duties and did extremely well. They finished the season in third place and throughout the year played some excellent games. Mr. Riggs built his team around such seasoned performers as Duck, Gallcu, Patterson, and Adams. The remainder of the team included Hobbs, Saccaro, Long, Zybura, Perlman, and Martyniok. In the play-offs this fine team was eliminated by Assumption. Darwell Tisdale was greatly missed when he left for the air force shortly after the season began. Congratulations to Tickie Duck and Gil Patterson who were named on the All-City Basketball Team. Junior Basketball Mr. Beckett was the man chosen to coach the junior basketball team this year. Like Mr. Riggs he did an excellent job. The team went through the season with a fine record. They managed to hold first place through¬ out the regular schedule. Luck was against them in the play-offs. In a two-game total-point series with Pat¬ terson the boys lost out by six points. Sovran, Granziol and Barton were the stars of the team. In the remainder of the squad were Jacknow, Kelly, Lachoski, Parkes, Stratton, Bcttany, and Bickhart. You may have noticed that every one of these teams managed to reach the play-offs. We hope the remainder of our teams for this year will be as successful. GIRLS’ ATHLETICS ♦ T T lr ii t . . — .— ’4 Basketball This year showed a marked improvement in the Girls ' Basket ball Team. A result of four points put them in third place instead of last year ' s fourth. We feel confi¬ dent that if all goes well, they will do even better next year. The training was interrupted by the resignation of Miss Grace Hamilton and resulting lack of a good coach. However the new coach proved to be just the person the girls needed to help them. Along with the assistance of the newly-elected captain. Jean Hogarth, Miss Doris Weston whipped the girls into good condi¬ tion for the scheduled games. Prominent on this year’s team were as forwards—Jean Hogarth, Colleen Gallen, Dorothy Little, Kdythe Daynes. Betty Borge, and Jean Ktnnin. As guards—Betty Coulson, Dolores Johnson, Vivien Arlien, and Shirley Coleman. Tennis The new tennis courts have proved a great attraction to the girls this year. A tournament was held early in the year for which the undisputed champion was Jean Back. Swimming The swimming meet will be coming along soon now. Miss YVeston has held weekly classes after four o’clock for swimming and also life-saving. We should have plenty of entries and will expect a good performance from June Lewis, Jessie Duck. Jane Martin, June Spence, and Elizabeth Anderson who proved their ability last year. Baseball Soon all the girls will have tryouts for the Baseball team. The games will be held after four o ' clock on the various school campuses. Come out and support your team!

SCHOOL ACTIVITIES -—---- - - H Now is an ideal time to urge the students of the Kennedy Collegiate to participate in the various active groups which are functioning in the school. Inquire about these clubs, find out what they do, then join at least one and enjoy the experience of actually doing something with your own fellow students, for your own school. The following brief summaries may help you decide in which group you could become the most interested and do the best work. Kennedy Kamera Klub This club, as usual, is having a busy and successful year. Under the able guidance of Mr. Thompson the club has progressed rapidly and has learned that all pictures don’t originate in drug stores. Mr. Brown is to be complimented for his excellent lectures on colour work, and the club thanks Mr. Gilbert for his interest in the progress of its members. The well-equipped school darkroom is in constant use and some creditable work is being turned out. As most of you know, The Kamera Klub docs its own developing, printing and enlarging—some of this work can be seen on other pages of this magazine. A cordial welcome is extended to any student to attend the meetings of this club or join it if they care to. Because we realize that, from ninth grade to fifth form, photography is an extremely popular hobby, we expect this club to continue its progress for years to come. St. John Ambulance Corps To the girl who wishes to become a nurse no club could be more interesting than this organization of about twenty girls, formed under the leadership of Mrs. Sills. At present St. John First Aid is being studied and a Home Nursing Course will follow ' soon. The officers this year are Claire Hicks, president, and Beverly Gould, secretary-treasurer. The goal of the members of this club is to obtain a certificate which will be presented to them at the end of the First Aid Course. Altiora Peto Society To some students of Kennedy this society is unfor¬ tunately a rather obscure one. It has, how ' ever. an im¬ portant position in the school. This club governs most of the advertising in the school, supervises the making of posters, and writes those bulletins you see sometimes on the classroom blackboards. The sale of school pins and rings also comes under the jurisdiction of this com¬ mittee. Our whole-hearted thanks should be given to those students who w r ork so generously to make this club a smooth-running and efficient society . Kennedy Glee Club Three cheers for Mr. Wass and those accomplished songsters W ' ho have so admirably made our Kennedy Glee Club a successful and worthy organization! The Club this year has a rather peculiar history. It com¬ menced in October with about thirty girls and ten boys but. strangely enough, the boys gradually dropped out. More girls were then brought in until about fifty began to prepare the music for the annual Music Festival. Tlie student body sincerely appreciates the Glee Club and thanks this organization for so ably representing our school. The Literary Society The Literary Society was formed at the first meeting of the Forum in October. The members include Jean Back. Dorothy McEw an, Rodd Ross and Arthur Pearce. At the first meeting of the Society held soon after its formation it w as decided to inaugurate a new system of literal y programs for the year. To begin the season a pro¬ gram was given presenting the life story and background of the lovely Stephen Foster melodies. This program was followed by a Christmas party in which Santa Claus, in the personage of George Edwards, distributed presents to some of the students. Since the new year there have been two literary pro¬ grams. One was a “Pageant of Canada” presented by first and second forms under the direction of Miss Bondy and Mrs. Hagarty. A one-act comic play—Rococo— has been presented by the members of the third and tourth forms under the supervision of Mr. Walter. 1 he Literary Society owes a debt of gratitude to Miss Dorothy Janes for the active part she has taken in planning all programs throughout the year. The Christian Fellowship Group The Christian Fellowship Group meets each Tuesday noon from twelve-thirty to one o’clock in room 214. It is one ot eight in Secondary schools of Windsor. In November a rally of all the Groups was held in Patterson Auditorium, at which an address was given by M r. W ood of Toronto, who is General Secretary of Fellowship Groups in North America. Parents and triends were invited to this meeting. Early in March a “get-together” of the Groups took place in the Gordon McGregor School Gymnasium at which a basketball game was played between the boys of the eastern and western Groups. A short talk was given by Mr. Reaunie of Detroit and a sing-song and a orial time were enjoyed. Later a “squash” was held for all Groups at the home of one of the members, and sixty students met for discussion and Bible study under Mr. Bier, a secretary of the Association from Western Canada. AU the students are invited to attend our Tuesday meet¬ ing, and further their interest in Bible Study and Chris¬ tian living. Dramatics Shakespeare terms such a course “the primrose w’ay to the everlasting bonfire”. A. A. Milne calls it ‘‘The Dover Road”! ' I his play, packed with amusing situations, witty re¬ partee and adult wisdom and tolly was presented by the Kennedy Collegiate Dramatic Society in the auditorium of the Victoria Public School on the evenings of March the 6th and 7th. It is a sophisticated play. The audience, both student and adult, enjoyed every minute of it. Miss Dorothy Hope, who deserves great credit for an artistic and finished production, was fortunate in having such a uniformly talented cast as the following: Art Lampkoyitz, Roy Lawrie, Alex Newell, Gladys Sutton, Mary Weidinger, Art Pearce. Phyllis Lavery’ Roderick Ross. John Mills, Virginia DcLaurier. The Dramatic Society wishes to thank the following lor many and varied services and courtesies: Mr. Peter Tinning, Mr. McCreery, Miss Lena Farrell of the Theatre Guild, Miss Yvonne Gignac, Mr. Gordon and his assist¬ ants. Cecil Fletcher. Cecil Hunter, George Edwards, and George Wilkinson: Mr. Riggs and his assistants, Victor Huszty and Ted Mallender; Norma Zamparo, and also Patricia Phipps and Alex Gray for their appealing pre¬ sentation of the curtain-raiser, “The Babes in the Woods”. Kennedy Collegiate Orchestra The K.C.l. orchestra of this year under the capable leadership of Mr. Mervin Wass, and assisted by Jack Jewell, president of the orchestra, has developed into one of the school’s leading activities. This was shown when the orchestra took part in the annual “Music Festival” and made such a splendid showing. The orchestra also shovved its musical ability while playing for the school commencement, play, assemblies, and literary meetings. It ? s too bad we did not hear a little more from Bruce Chick and his clarinet, but we will have him again later. The students that comprised the orchestra this year W ' ere— BASS—Raymond Parsons. SAXOPHONES—Jack Gordon, Bill Colledgc, Ellen Balman, Janies Garret. PIANO—Lenore Baker. ACCORDIONS—Bob Newman, Bob Whyte. I Rl MPETS—James Smith, Jack Jew r ell, Steve Frei- senger. THE KENCOLL 1941 13 CLARINETS—Stuart Walker, Bruce Chick, Lyle War¬ wick. DRUMS—Jack Bickhart. VIOLINS—Elso Schincariol, Robert Wilson, Walter Martyniuk, Primo Lombardo, Claire Hudis, Elaine Perrault, Fred Rudco. Prefects Every fall a certain group of students are chosen from the fourth and fifth forms to keep order in the school at noon hours. These are the prefects. Every noon there are 12 prefects posted around the school—-6 boys and 6 girls. There are 2 in the library, the gym, the cafeteria, and the halls. Their duties are various—to keep the library quiet for study, to keep the gym orderly, to keep the halls clear, and to keep the cafeteria clean and tidy. The prefects cannot do their work alone. Give them your co-operation! SOCIAL Another K Hop has gone over with a bang. On March 14, over four hundred girls dug deep into their pocket-books and brought forth their hard-earned savings to give the boys a good time. The traditional blue and gold decorations were used and the baskets were out¬ standing. Blue streamers were brought to the front and drawn to the corners of huge gold “K f s M . A large K featured the center of the l ack of the stage, and with¬ out a doubt all the boys and girls had a marvellous time. Something new in the line of dances was held on Tues¬ day, February the eighteenth, when the admission was a war-saving stamp. The dance followed a basketball game with Cranbrook. A lovely luncheon was held in the cafeteria during January honouring our new teacher, Miss Weston. Spring flowers were used as a centerpriece on the tea- table. Miss Norah Cleary, one of our former teachers, was present as one of the guests. Miss Hamilton has left us! Sorrow and happiness were our emotions at Christmas time. Sorrow because we had lost a fine teacher and happiness for Miss Hamilton in her new life. QUESTIONS THAT MAKE PUPILS GRAY 1. Why didn’t you do ' Our homework? 2. Why are you doing your French in my English class? 3. Don’t you know you shouldn’t comb your hair in public 4. What makes you so noisy today? 5. Would you like a detention? 6. How many times should I tell you to be quiet? OUR SCHOOL Do You Know 1. That our gymnasium is the finest and largest in Ontario, (probably the largest in the Dominion) and will seat 1,700 persons comfortably. 2. That our swimming pool has a capacity of 75,000 gallons (that the water is filtered, chlorinated, warmed and kept in constant circulation, which is equivalent to a complete change of water every 12 hours). 3. That our school has 36 telephones, which are worked exactly on the same principle as the Bell Telephone system—with a minor adjustment on the switch board, any person would be able to call anywhere outside the school from any class room. 4. That our school has 35 clocks, all of which are worked from a master clock in the office. The master clock controls all of the bells which can be set to ring automatically at any minute. 5. That the ventilating system in the school is one of the finest made, giving each room 1250 cubic feet of air per minute, and a complete change of air every four minutes. In cold weather the air can be cleansed and kept circulating through the class rooms, without any intake from the air outside. Through an air filter which collects the dust, it is ozonised, and humidified. The humidity is kept as near 50% as possible. 6. That there are 50 waste baskets for scrap paper in the school—enough to hold all the paper left in desks or on the floor. 7. That there have been approximately 500 pieces of gum removed from the floors, during the winter term this year. 8. That students who aim to help their school to success can do so. YMMOT. THE WIND By Anna Palmieri The wind which walks the lonely streets with me, —The dust and grime so grey upon its face— Knows well the frail and lovely lace Of spider-weaving; and each day may see. Across the city, beauty carved in stone, Or tapestry of shrub and slanting sun In some green park or sheltered, quiet place. When shadow comes, it may seek out A spot of vibrant light or darkened mystery. But does this chastened thing, this wind, Remember still the free mad way Across a mountain top? Or how to swing from larch to spruce, And bend a tall pine low? Does it remember?

No two papers arc exactly alike, and you can hardly agree with any of them. Anyway, varying as they did, the sheets showed plenty about the Kennedy students. Most noticeably the quiz Drought out from biding the talent of at least twenty humourists. One fifth lormer stated that his favourite comic strip was Gypsy Rose Lee. In the “state your favourite orchestra” space, one poetic wit wrote, “Sway and toss with Mr. VVass.” At least you agree on one thing—the school colours are O K. Blue was the favourite of over half the voters. Red was the next, then, believe it or not, invisible was third. Vivien Liegh seems to be top as an actress. Bette Davis is next. Lower School likes Errol Flynn; Upper School likes Jimmy Stewart. Take your pick—some choose Donald Duck. Glen Miller’s swing pleases the majority of the stu¬ dent body. Some like Kay Kyscr’s arrangements. Some patriots prefer the School Orchestra. Most of the stu¬ dents like Ray Eberly ' s singing. Bing Crosby runs a better race than his horses. He placed in this one. Bob Hope’s is your favourite radio program. Only one vote separates Fibber McGee and Those We Love, for the next place. Bob Hope is by far the most popular radio star; and Henry Aldrich is next . Basketball, (although the crowds at the games didn’t show it), and tennis, were voted as Kennedy’s favourite sport 3 . However one student prefers eating to any other sport. Next to spare, mathematics received the most votes. Blondic was the favourite comic strip. “Natcherly” Li’l Abner was second. In the ninth grade popularity contest Lyle Warwick had a comfortable majority. Alex Gray was next, lidythe Day us is first form’s most popular girl. Frances Little was a bit behind her. For a small guy Bert Dean is popular in teuth grade. Ray Smith and Jack Kelly tied for second position. Elizabeth Laiispeary and Jessie Duck are the most popular girls in tenth grade. Bob Gallen. then Rod Ross were the third form choices. Dorothy McEwen and Jane Flock were chosen from the girls. Gabby Granziol talked his way in as the most popular in fourth form. Only two votes separated Ken Jacobs and John Mills as second choice. Shirley Lewis has the glory among the girls; and she shares it with Jane Martin. Tickic Duck, in fifth form, was the most popular—in fact, he received more votes than anyone else in the school. Jean Back received more votes than any other girl. Elizabeth Anderson was second choice among the girls; George Edwards, among the boys. Teachers should note that, on an average, K.C.I. stu¬ dents do about three-quarters of a hour’s homework each night. Archery and boxing arc sonic sports that would please K.C.I. students. Almost every student would buy a monthly publica¬ tion next year. Take note, fourth formers! It will be up to you to sec that they get them. ALUMNI About this time every year we pause to think about those students who have left us and who arc continuing studies or work elsewhere. Foremost among these is Forrest Rogers who was our editor last year and who is now “scholarshipping ’ at Toronto. Also at Toronto is Dorothy Sansburn. Stuart Clark is “burning midnight oil’’ at Queen’s. Kennedy is well represented at Holy Names with Marion Wheelton, Marion McEw r en, Irene Smith, Lois Lovcridgc and Bette Leith, all attending there. Bob Allen has continued his studies, and incidently his foot¬ ball career, at Assumption College. Also with the purple and white are Keith McEwen, Joe Klosterman, Bernard Chorostkowski, and Doug Mills. At Western we find Georgina Falls and Hazel Craig. Mary McMillan is now at Alma College. Leonard Jackson. Doug Webb, Earl Jones, Maurice Gallagher, John Richardson, and Don Martin arc all now “Men with Wings”; and wc wish them all the best of luck. Denise Stone is in training at Grace Hospital. Muriel Lavery is working at Ford’s. Among the boys at Ford’s arc Bill Butt, Wally Fletcher, Don Murdoch, Bob Murphy. Doug Scaife, and Harry Weller. Tom Cormie. Bob Waddington, Allister Weir, and Ted Ridley, are at Chrysler’s. Elizabeth Galbraith is going to Walkerville and Jean Briggs may be found at Vocational. In Detroit are Don Black. Albert Cohen, and Maurice Strosberg. They are attending Wayne. And John Fawcett and Roland Good, are at Lawrence Tech. Others working are Ed Yolick at Canadian Bridge, Ned Carrington at Bendix-Eclipse, Jack Spence at Auto Specialties and Leo Thibodeau for Thibodeau Express. We hope that all will succeed in their new work and that they will still hold a place for Kennedy in their hearts.

Of course, we will agree with him—his locks (as Miss Stewart puts it) are much too beautiful to be kept in by a net. We wonder why Margaret McCreery casts those lov¬ ing glances toward Charles Murphy in Miss Bristol’s room. Well perhaps Spring has cleared matters up some. One day when an inspector was in the room, Mr. Farrel mentioned that he didn’t know where Mont¬ gomery’s Tavern was. Mr. Robb kindly consented to take him out some night and show him. Why does Harpo (Jimmy) Harkness find himself in Barbara Wilke’s corner of the room so often. Jean Neill is up in the clouds again. Could it be Ray Parsons? Jean answers, “could be.” Catherine Falls is looking forward to driving her new coupe to school. We’ll be waiting at the corner, Catherine. Perhaps it was not very thoughtful of the 10B stu¬ dents to write French letters to Miss Bondy during her recent illness—It was reported that, after reading the letters, Miss Bondy was on the verge of a relapse. During the week that they were here the Inspectors did not visit 10B once. Are they really that hopeless— 10B we mean. Joyce Broome seems to go for plaid shirts and yellow ties. It was quite a let-down for Mary Varga when she dis¬ covered the Mounted Police are not allowed to marry. Too bad Mary. Katherine White likes Art- ists now—so she tells us. The mood look in Stella Kamecki’s eyes is caused by a boy named Lenny from Detroit. Stella says he’s perfect. I wonder! They say that the Walkerville Girls have it over the Kennedy Girls. It seems that the boys have too. At least Mary Gray thinks so. Sigh—the age of chivalry is not past, for wasn’t that Lyle Warwick carrying Mary Ewart home the other night? Oh—pardon— I meant her books— really I did. My goodness—that Mary Ewart does certainly get around despite all her shy young innocence and we warn her to watch her p’s and q ' s or should I say L ' s and W’s? Leo De Lorenzi, the big bad junior hockey player just dotes on young ladies called Muriel Daniels—Un¬ fortunately, or should I say fortunately—there is only one of these lucky girls in Kennedy. A certain young gal claims she is off boys—until a cute one catches her eye. In spring a young man’s fancy turns at everything that passes, but Tommy Phillips didn’t wait for spring. Jack Bickhart is not quite so quick on the pickup as Mr. Holmes is on the kickout—but there are other drug stores Betty. Barbara Wilkes and Bobby Dewhurst (man sized oomph boy) are that way again; but I hesitate to say which way. Eunice Croll went to bed early on Saturday night and dreamt her secret passion asked her to wear his pin. When asked what happened then; she replied that she woke up, but—was going to bed earlier on Sunday. Joan Weber is going to be another nurse. Who will volunteer to be her first patient? No one in his right mind. I.ily Taub, our pianist, wants to be a photographer just like her Daddy. Pat Swalwell, 9C nightingale, is going to be an air¬ line stewardess. Jeanne Rycroft’s ambition is to operate an elevator in a one-story building. Hazel Spry is going to be a nurse—some day. Richard Notwell has a crush on Jean Mackay, and, Jean really doesn’t seem too unhappy. Bob Meston is still smiling and showing off in front of Muriel Newman. Poor Paul Polsky is still chasing his ideal girl “Evelyn Okun but is being slowed every once in a while by an icy glance. Larry ‘Handsome’ Flood is vainly trying to get a smile trom Dorothy Mounteer. Betty Forester still receives her weekly letters from those specials in the Army. Jean Mackay doesn’t like the minister at All Saints anymoie. Or is it the boys (boy) in the choir? What would Shirley Glandvillc look like without a comb in her hand? It seems that our little English guest Margaret Hynd has her trials and troubles. He lives on Parent Avenue. We noticed that Betty McLerie has been wearing a Tech pin on a green blouse. It couldn’t be that he comes from Tech or that Patrick is Irish, could it Betty? Tory Dufour has lovely big blue eyes, and she is de¬ termined. Better watch out boys; once Torv starts, she’s hard to stop. Wilfred Borton skated nearly a whole night with Colleen Gallen at the skating party. Sounds nice! In school the other day Mary McPhee, giving a speech, said that she usually found something to do on Saturday night. Has it anything to do with Walter Zybura? Stanley Jamski hit the typing mark the other day with Minus 219. Keep up the good work, Stan. Six girls from 10CI went to the K-Hop and only one took a boy from Kennedy. Wonder what’s the matter. Harry Hobbs has left us to live in Calgary, Alberta. We are all sorry to see him go and hope he wont forget us; for we wont forget him. Bob and Betty seem to have quite a time deciding whose turn it is to supply the gum each day. How about letting the rest of us in on it. Mr. Letoumeau very frequently catches a very talkative girl day-dreaming. Tommy Barton gets more people in trouble. A friend to Murry Washbrook: “Could you love two girls at once?” Murry: “Yes—Immediately.” Larry Flood: “Why does Dorothy M. always close her eyes when I’m around?” Leo De Lorenzi: “Look in the mirror and you’ll find out.” POND ' S Always the Finest Values in . . . - DRUGS . . .

There are nine boys in 9G and twenty-eight girls, and so with all the femininity around him he should be flattered. Lyle Warwick took part in a Literary Society meeting. He was one of our early ancestors. His “wife” (Sonia Agopsowicz) was with him at the time, and, as Miss Janes remarked, there was someone in the audience who did not like this very well.

What if you didn’t know which part of a plant was the habitat? What if you should cat a carrot without reflecting that it belongs to the family Umbelliferae? What if you should eat a peach, and not realizing that it is a Drupe, neglect drinking a cup of tea to cure the drupes? (Note tea advertisements.) Added to this you would’t be able to write an exam in Botany. Botany is wonderful! The absolutely great thing about Botany is that you learn the names of the poisonous plants that you cat. and thus you don’t have to call a coroner. This is a great saving. For beginners it is customary to divide flowers into four groups. Fillet 1; Shallifightya, Fillet 2; Toodryto- fightya; Fillet 3. Fraidtofightya. Fillet 4, Dontwanto- fightya. Now we have given you a start — got you in¬ terested in Botany. Go ahead with your study—wc dare you! WINDSOR SPRING’S RECURRING MIRACLE By Jack Laforet There is, perhaps, no truer testimony of man ' s in- signifigancc on this sphere than the fact that Spring has again come to England in spite of the destruction wrought by the man-made machines which rend the air with throbbing roars to drop tons of devastating bombs upon tlie English countryside. But bombs can not dis¬ courage Spring. Calmly and surely she spreads her lush, green carpet and takes up business at her usual stand. We are inclined to be greatly impressed by the in¬ creased speed in production that has taken place in manu¬ facturing since the beginning of the twentieth century and especially since the first Great War. On the other band we completely ignore the miracle of speed which nature lias displayed for thousands of years. Almost before we are aware of them the feathery buds on the trees and bushes have burst, disclosing the fresh green leaver. The grass has lost its rusty appearance and shines forth in glowing green. Perfumers of New York and Paris spend months of research and experiment in order to perfect a new and glamorous scent. What more beautiful fragrance is there than that of purple lilacs wafted on the balmy breezes of Spring. No exhorbitaut price has been placed on this perfume of Spring. It is yours for the breathing! Advertisements appear daily in the newspapers ex¬ tolling the various virtues of certain patent medicines. The manufacturers of these “boons to mankind” claim that their product will cure all ills and make new men or women of prospective users. Nature, too, can do this. A fine spring day can cause old men to feel young again, and can make gardeners of hookworms. In these turbulent and troubled times during which brotherly love seems an empty phrase, the true meaning has become blurred by the choking fog of hate ami prejudice. With Spring there comes a fuller understand¬ ing of our fellow man and an ever increasing desire to live in peace. As surely as she brings the robin and the crocus. Spring brings warmth for the soul and a promise for the future. DIAMONDS WATCHES Jewellery and Fine China Optical Department JOHN WEBB 552 Ouellette Ave. Class Pins a Specialty COMPLIMENTS OF W. J. BONDY SONS 126 Ouellette Avenue PUBLIC LIBRARY 26 THE KENCOLL 1941 ..IIHH11HHIIHIllllllHIHIHIIHIIIIIIIIIIIMIMI WORDS I LIKE AND DISLIKE By Betty McKim If I were to sit down some evening and think of just a few ol the different words that I know, and whether they were beautiful or not, a great part of the evening would quickly pass away. As a help in doing this, A. G. Gardiner’s essay on “Word Magic might he con¬ sidered. I heartily agree with Gardiner in his opinion that a word is made beautiful Iry its setting and by the dis¬ tinction of its use. As Gardiner points out. a simple word such as quiet’’ seems very beautiful when read in the line by Keats: The holy time is quiet as a nun. Other common words which perhaps might be heard several times a day are “softer and “still . On merely hearing these pronounced there is no particular reason for liking them, and yet when they appear in Tennyson’s poem The Lotos Eaters , we can almost feel ourselves in the beautiful dreamy land of the Mild-eyed melan¬ choly Lotos-eaters “there is sweet music here that softer falls Than petals from blown roses on the grass, Or night dews on still waters between walls Of shadowy granite, in a gleaming pass. Shelley seems to have the power to make us cither like or dislike a word. In his poem “Ozymandias from his use of “sneer I have a feeling of the coldness and bitterness of this word. In talking of the great king, he mentions “the wrinkled lip and sneer of cold com¬ mand. Jon son also, although not with the intention of making us dislike the w ' ord says: Yet three filled zodiacs had he been The stage ' s jewel. In this setting, “zodiac seems overdone and not at all suited for the purpose of talking about a child. John Masefield gives another illustration of the beauty that a word such as “dipping possesses. Stately Spanish galleon coming from the Isthmus Dipping through the Tropics by the palm-green shores. Considering the different words that are in a person’s vocabulary it would be quite impossible to think of them as being merely liked or disliked. For, as A. G. Gardiner explains, it is not only the word itself, but its use which must influence your and my opinion. Training the Woman: In the old days the woman knew her proper sphere. Each woman was given a course of training, according to an old article in our possession. We quote except for the words we can’t translate. “A blow with a whip or club excites combatativeness or fear in the woman. Study the character of your wo¬ man—not the nature of woman in general, hut of the woman which you w f ish to control. Woman differ in their dispositions just as men do: and each one is to he approached, attracted, pleased, and controlled accord¬ ingly. The woman is impressed with her Master’s wishes. If man needs “precept upon precept, line upon line.” in order to learn his lessons well, how much more true is this ot the woman, which is below man in con¬ sciousness and the reflective faculties. “Buckle a four pound weight around the ankles (lead is preferable), ride your woman briskly with these weights on her ankles, twitching each ear alternately, by this means you will immediately throw ' her into a pace. After a while replace these lead weights with leather ones. This process will make her a smooth and easy pacer. In all training, a very light skelton or gig should he used. “For every day use the most economical gait for a woman is a fast walk. Girls can be taught to walk quickly by following them with a small switch, starting them, when inclined to go slow, into a quicker pace. After they are harnessed, keep fast walking in mind, and when on level ground, or going up a hill w ' ith a light load, urge them to their utmost until five miles on hour becomes a habit. A remarkable feat should always be rewarded by a handful of oats or a carrot.” LADIES! We apologize! The original manuscript was vague: and all through we seem to have written the word “woman where “horse” appeared in the original. Sorry. It will not happen again. McMASTER UNIVERSITY HAMILTON.

The cadets have an article to themselves, but after that beautiful drill they put on the other afternoon we can’t restrain ourselves from adding a bit more. You looked fine boys’ Congratulations to you Major Young. ♦ I OF went on a weiner roast not long ago. One girl went “stag”. Two of the young gentlemen of the class brought her home. Nice work, say we! ! A number of the girls about the school have made a definite improvement in their standing, as far as school work is concerned, since Easter. There is considerably less to distract their attention, in some of the classes that now look like a class in a Finishing School for Young Ladies. ♦ Don Webb, an ex-pupil of Kennedy paid the school a visit a few weeks ago. He was accompanied by a friend. The girls took one look at his friend and—well! Did any of the girls drive out to visit you that week¬ end Elbe? Ruth Howie has had a dreamier than ever look in her eyes lately; and she was overheard to reniark, “If he gets his leave . . . ” Come on Ruth, let us in on it. Marg. Jackson has taken quite an interest in tennis, lately. Or is it a tennis player? ♦ Hazel Lenardon turns the loveliest rose colour when anyone mentions the name, “Lu’ Her friends have been telling Beverley Mackenzie to be careful or she’ll burn her fingers. George is pretty hot stuff! Congratulations to Jim Smith! Kennedy has had many musicians of whom she could be proud. As long as Jtm is around we know where to look for the musical laurels. ♦ Hazel Rossoni’s brother was outstanding at the Track Meet. Why don’t you bring him to Kennedy Hazel—he would be another star in our galaxy. Betty Macdonald seems to be interested in a “40” maroon Ford. ♦ Bob Davy is having a good time even though Gay nor is in Toronto. Could Betty make the “Eternal Triangle.” Jack Hubbell lost his “K” pin but now he has another one. How about it “Jonesy ? The sorority in 11B adopted a prayer (a-men). Wc hope their prayers are answered. Wouldn’t you think Jack Prince would be jealous now that Bob CouIson gives Elaine Lucas so much of his time. But mavbe Jack has other things to think about. Why is Mr. Walter always looking so anxi ously to the back of the 11B class room. Is he still waiting for that “smack”? Mr. Walter must have very enjoyable evenings chew¬ ing his daily collection of gum. Its about time Bill Pollen found a new girl friend don ' t you think so Marg?

When a pretty hand goes up in Mr. Deagle’s room, why does he smile when he tells Gladys Sutton to keep her hair on. It couldn’t be because Gladys just had her hair cut? ♦ Since Marion Chick moved into the city Stewart Me- Sweeney has become stouter. Long walks are good for you aren’t they Stewart? Who is sending Patricia Watson presents from over¬ seas? Not a corporal, Pat? Can it be that Phyllis Lavery lias fallen at last? Who is the young man who says “Well Hello!” Can it be the mysterious “Dodo”? ♦ Eleanor Webb just loves Don’s wavy black hair. But what about that secret passion? You’re away ahead of us Ellie! ♦ George Lewis has been seen around South Walker- ville quite often lately. An old flame never dies. Just call Jane Baxter “Janey” and watch her blush. ♦ Jean Back has had a far away look in her eye lately. She has been baking cakes and sending them out to the coast. What ' s his name, Jean? Eric Tanner certainly whips out of Trig class in a hurry. “Shirley,” it couldn’t be because Miss Lewis’s locker is just outside the door. Did you realize that while you were enjoying your Easter Holidays Miss Fuller and Miss Burford were still working in the office. ♦ What could George Edwards have been thinking of in Trig. Class when he said that he wanted some figures to work with. Jim Murphy has finally grown a beard. He shaves once a week now from all reports. What young man on the Senior Basketball team sits in a certain Ruth Cunningham’s vestibule very early Saturdavs. The mail man beats a steady path to the Mills’ resi¬ dence with letters from London for Dorothy and from Amhcrstburg for Johnnie. Since there is a blonde boy working in B. M. G., Marjorie Struckett finds lots to buy in said shop. There seems to be an attraction farther down the hall for the local mover Roy Lancaster. Dorothy Pennington writes long letters every week just like Irene Rich “Dear John”. ♦ Gil Patterson had an accident at Loblaws not long ago. The next week the tailor had some business. ♦ Ken Graff takes a stroll in the upper hall every noon. It’s a good thing Joan’s locker is near a drinking foun¬ tain or it would look suspicious. Marcia Woodrow must like fish or is this the wrong Poole. It’s too bad Gene Holloway can’t find green pastures at K.C.I. but has to go to the next farm. ♦ Prosperity has at last come to Irene Kecley. The Wolfe has left her door. ♦ Ted Mallender has found something to do on nites when there is no Frat meeting. Yvonne to know? Dougal and Shepherd.

The soldiers stand beside their guns, As searchlights sweep the sky, For every valiant British heart Fights on to win or die. Suddenly the silence of the night U broken by a mighty roar Of Messerschmidts that from the sky Rain death on England’s pleasant shore. Then from the ground in greatest hoards Rise British ships to meet the foe; The skv is filled with fire and sound; The Messerschmidts swoop low. Throughout the night the battle roars. The Briton against the Hun; When every enemy fighter falls The British job is done. The war may wage through night and day, But the English have no fear. For in their hearts they truly know That victory is near. Their hearts are true to England old. They smile through the battle’s din. The Battle of Britain niay be long But they are sure to win.

Old A T sailor seldom know ' s But if old A G gains H U of ’baccy cures his woes, His pipe L A’s his pains. Wc envy no poor sailor’s life In D D has no fun, And. feeling P T for his wife. Our M T talk is done. SHOP AT . . . McCREERY COMPLIMENTS OF Jewelers • FRANK LEWIS OUELLETTE AVENUE Neal’s Wonder Bread—Hostess Cakes DEPARTMENT STORE NEAL BAKING CO. BMC • BarMet.
