Page 20 THE KENCOLL 1951 THE EXCHANGE Our 1950-51 edition of the Kencoll will find itself being read by students who have never seen Kennedy. Fellows ond girls in the States, os well as the many schools throughout Ontario, will flip the pages of our year book due to a department of the staff known as The Exchonge. It not only gives ideas for betterment of our mogazine, but it also creates a spirit of friend¬ ship and good will between our school and schools in other cities. The Exchange would like to acknowledge the co-operation of other schools in sending us their magazine. From Belleville we received o copy of the Elevator. The students submitted a great many candid shots and the photogrophy wos excellent. Their literory section was also very good. In the Brantford Hello ' Ve found a close-up of every football player, accompanied with an interesting minute biog. As usuol they included a lorge class news section with data on every class. The Peterborough Echoes was excellent reading, and hod a very attroctive cover this year. The humour section C’est a rire afforded us many laughs, inter¬ spersed throughout we found lines similar to this: Spirit of P.C.V.S.—An educated P.C. Ter is who can guess near enough at the spelling of o word to find it in the dictionary. We thought the Heliconion from Moulton College was an unique name for the mogazine, and has a beautiful cover. This is a girls’ school ond includes contributions for the pupils from the first grade to fifth form. West Hill High School Annual come to us from Montreal and it has excellent photogrophy. Each section hos an introductory page adorned with a very appropriate illustration. They have an unlimited number af activities for the students, and the write-ups are very interesting. We receive a great number of magazines from Toronto and enjoy them all. The Hermes from Humberside had a very attractive cover done in silver and wine. The Central Technical School sent us the 100-h anniversary edition of the Vulcan. It is one they may well be proud of. In the literary section each story is magnificently illustroted. Their exchange list is one ony school would be proud to have. We hope the exchange with East York Collegiate, who claimed Dave Hughes, one of our footboll players this year, and also with Riverside and Jarvis Collegiate. The Eastern Echo also from Toronto gives us a good account af the activities of students from the Eastern High School of Commerce. The Ad Astro Annual brought news from Sarnia Collegiate. They have enlarged the size af their magazine and I think it is a marked improvement. The contents are well compiled and we are very interested to see that the girls are trusted with rifles there and are doing quite well. On coming to the sports section we found a picture which looked familiar. The caption read The Mud Bowl , Kennedy 7, S. C. I. 2. The Blue and White defeat by Port Huron handed the Kennedy Clippers a ticket to the Purple Bowl in London. Mud and rain forced both clubs to stick to a ground ottack. The Windsor ottack compiled 13 downs while Sarnio picked up only 2. They describe further the game our boys will never forget and end thus, Centre Bill Moiseshyn of Windsor, dove on the ball ond thot wos the 1949 football season. This is one enjoyment gained in reading our school magazines; finding some mention of your school. The outstonding features of the Volt from Inger- soll are their good photogrophy ond their cover. We saw a number of familiar faces in the Sandwich Spartalogue , the Patterson Patrician , the Towers from Tech, and the Rebelogue from Riverside. Stratford Collegiate calls their book the Collegian and hos a smort cover. Their headings for various articles are very catchy. Please Pass the Liniment heads the football write-up. We hope to increase our exchange this year for there is everlasting interest, enjoyment, and memory in school year books. Joon Madill “THE LIBRARY STAFF” To the mojority of the students the library is the place to finish up that French homework before nine, ond to remember that silence is golden or suffer cancellation of a poss for study at noon. It is olso the place ta invode for that imaginary sixty page, large print book to read the night before supple¬ mentary books are due.

Poge 22 THE KENCOLL 1951 ON WINTER The snow comes down in flakes of white Making the ground o-glimmer with light; The moon shines down in a yellow pool; The icicles sparkle like a polished jewel; The trees are stripped of their summer green, But still it is like a mogic scene. Alihough the summer hos delicate flowers, And the autumn leaves provide the bowers. And the earth is refreshed with o spring of roin, No season will, like the winter, deign To cover the green, and the gold, and the blue With a blanket of white, her only hue. 1st Senior Prize Betty Moore, 13B PITY’S MENAGERIE Looking out the window whot do I see? Just the cold snow ond the wind blowing free. I see o shivering bird with a wounded wing Trembling beneoth the wind ' s cold sting. A dog plods through the belly-deep snow With nary a home of his own to go. Now they are gone, I can only see The cold cald snow and the wind blowing free. A command to my conscience its woy does find, “Go out and look in the cald and the wind!” I obey, and bring them back with me My house then becomes, “Pity’s Menagerie.” 2nd Senior Prize Dennis Maguire, 11D THE PROSPECTOR At early dawn he builds his fire. Eats his fill and then — askance — A look of hope lights up his face, As if ta say, This is my chance.” The burra plads behind him now, Picking its way over rock and sand, A stream is bubbling beyand the turn, The man ance more takes up his stand. This endless search has made him wiry, He will not stop though he is old, A sort af fever courses through him: Someday, I will find gold.” 3rd Senior Prize Raymond Yowarsky, 13A EVERGREENS The evergreens are lost on summer’s wave; In hidden clumps of sturdy strength they stand. The forest’s silent wardens, true ond brove, Its faithful sentries guarding treasured land. When autumn comes to set the trees aflame With sudden red and gold in matchless hue The steadfast evergreens are still the same, A woodland pledge ta be forever true. Then comes a day when momentary pride Must yield to simple, never-changing grace; The summer’s charm, the madcap outumn Must vanish soon without a lasting trace. But, though winter moves upon the scene, There still remains the sturdy evergreen. 1st Junior Prize Keith Simpson, 9D MEMORIES When dark shadows fall at twilight. And we feel the warm fires glow. Our thoughts wing back to Kennedy, To the chums we used ta know. To the things we did in lunch hour; To the games we played in gym; To the bubbling joy of Friday night; To the songs we used ta sing. Though we may leave the city. Or travel o’er the seas, We’ll find our greatest pleasure In our high school memories. 3rd Juior Prize Alma Bergoine, 9 F OUR CHEMISTRY TEACHER We enter the class with a smile on our faces, Which the formula he gives us promptly erases; Holding our attention as he talks, At the heod of the class sits Mr. Fox. Into the lab we rush with a roar. Line up for a key, and open a drawer. We receive our instructions in the other roam; When they are not heeded we hear a great baom. Our test-tubes are broken, our chemicals spilled, He sells us new test-tubes and our bottles are filled; We hove a goad time, and we learn as we ga; But without Mr. Fax this wouldn’t be so. Bill Boyd, 1 38
