FIRST PRIZE— AN INVITATION Through a little country garden runs a laughing little stream. Where the tiny pebbles gurgle with delight; It you’re feeling blue some evening and of love you want to dream, Conte and listen to it singing in the night. It will lift your lonely spirit with its music soft and sweet. It will fill your heart with laughter clear and bright; It will chase away your worries, and your troubles come to meet And mingle with the beauty of the night. S on a pleasant evening, please accept my invitation To a party that has laughter of its own; It will be an inspiration and will raise your indignation That you might have missed a thrill you’d never known. —Jean MacKay. SECOND PRIZE— TO ENGLAND A land of hills and rocky rills, Of people that are fine, A thousand different dialects. The smell of salt-sea rime. The ringing bells of old St. Paul’s, The towers that guard the Thames, A castle for a King and Queen, A church of Christopher Wren’s. A million fighting men are here To keep this England free, No domineering German Fuehrer Can bomb and rule o’er thee. You shall arise, tho battle scarred, V ictorious. proud and free, And men shall hail your fallen dead, Where’er their dust shall be. —Betty Etches. THIRD PRIZE— THIS MODERN GENERATION When we hear Mother raving on About this generation, And all the silly things we do Which have no termination; She says we dress in sloppy clothes, In baggy shirts and sweaters. And scribble up our new trench c oals And sew on crazy letters. We have a language of our own. Of which there’s no denying, The older folk don’t understand Although they work hard trying. We dance to all the latest tunes. Mom says, “It’s just a racket”; It’s only ’cause she doesn’t rate High in our Hep-Cat’ bracket. When we have children of our own We will be just like Mother, And, scolding at their little pranks. Get nothing for the bother. —Muriei Newman. HONOURABLE MENTION Mary MacDonald, Lyle Warwick, May Price, Doreen Yeitch, Virginia Holden, Madeleine Hear. Grant Farrill, Violet Schmidt, Shirley Rutter. TO THE CONTESTANTS Your efforts all we do commend And these suggestions do append: Match metre, diction, picture, rhyme, And you will surely win next time! —The Judges, TO THE JUDGES AND CONTESTANTS To you we send our gratitude For labour, soifg or platitude; For verses sweet, or humour droll That help make up this year’s KENCOLL. —The Editors

ORATORICAL CONTEST This year Kennedy Collegiate has far surpassed her¬ self in the results of the Oratorical Contest. Connie ( ' roll and Sidney Eisen brought the Junior Ctrl ' s and Junior Boy ' s Shields to our school for their fine talks on “Canada ' s Burma Road” and “Modern Methods of lighting Disease.” The Senior Girl’s representative, Myricyl Milligan, gained second place when she spoke on “Pioneer Women.” To Hugh Roberts the Senior Boy ' s representative, goes much credit for his splendid presentation of the topic “Radium.” May the coming years bring many more fine orators to win laurels for dear old Kennedy! CORVETTES t poii the blue and briny deep, These watch-dogs of lhe fleet, Keep up their cver-Gon slant watch. I11 rain, in snow or sleet. Defenders of our nation ' s peace. Beyond the long rough shore. They arc our freedomV first defence Against a total war. Guardians of ships in each convoy, That travels on the sea, They keep the sea-lanes open wide Ensuring our victory. Proudly they hear the ensign white On sill the seven seas And sail upon the deep, until War ' s miseries shall cease. —Lyle Warwick.

Senior Hockey Team The senior hockey learn was rather slow in getting started this year: however they warmed up enough for their last game with Walkerville and won by the score of 8-0. This by the way was the first time in five years that our senior team has beaten the Walkerville team. Although the team was well balanced Ed Halle wide, goalie, and Jack Cates, forward, deserve special mention for their play throughout the year. Besides these players the team included: Gordon Edgar, captain, Bub Gamier, Bill Hunter. Jack Cape, Lloyd Curok, Norman Cazxola, Bill West, Joe Koskie. Junior Hockey Team The Juniors were also slow in getting started, as a matter of fact it seems they never did get started. Al¬ though the team was one of the lies! Kennedy has seen Dame Fortune forsook it and victory came not even once to our Juniors, Earl Brandy was the mainstay of the team scoring ten of the team ' s hard earned points during the season while jack Pinkerton, Bill Ogle. Kaye Heath, and Ted Bmlyrinksi all played well and accounted for several goals.

Both learns would like to extend their thanks to Mr. Thomson for the interest he took m the teams even though there were no prospects of championship,’ It has been brought to our attention that Mr. Thomson, al though he was sick, insisted on coaching his team in an important game. Football ' Phe fact that football was discontinued in the schools this year did not keep Kennedy from having its own pri- vale house leagues. There were three Iranis in (lie senior league and four m llu junior league and both leagues played eight man toot ball. Mike YuhasFs team took the senior championship after a hard fought season. Elis team included: Curry, Koskie, Light, Howie, Reid Taylor, Savalsky. The junior championship was won by Alan Prices team. The following boys played: McLeod, Walsh, Banes, W hite, Perkins, Ledgley.
