A TRIBUTE TO OUR MAGAZINE A F. S. Gilbert What we take for granted just does not happen that way. This magazine is one of the things about our school that is taken for granted by the student body. Few realize the great amount of effort need¬ ed to produce the magazine. Each editor wants to make a bigger and better magazine than last year ' s. That is a fine ambition and gives the incentive that makes for a good production. Many students will save their magazines and when they come across them ten or twenty years from now, will look through them and wonder if they depict truth or fiction. Yes, you really did look like that when you were attending school. This magazine cannot give between its slight cov¬ ers the true picture of each student in the school, but it can give a glimpse of light upon the activities which made up your world of school in the year 1952. We are proud of our editors and the rest of the Kencol staff for the sacrifice of time and effort they have given in producing another fine volume to be numbered with those of past years. The newspaper poet ' s a commonplace fellow— The humblest may know what his poetry means. But clearness is treason, and so, for this reason. He never gets into the big magazines! —The Newspaper Poet, Stanza 1, Denis Aloysius McCarthy, 1870-1934

Page 4 THE KENCOLL 1952 VOL. XIII — KENCOLL — 1952 Published by the Students of the Kennedy Collegiate Institute Windsor, Ontario. Price - 50c per Copy EDITORIAL When to the sessions of sweet silent thought I summon up remembrance of things past, I sigh the lack of many a thing I sought, And with old woes new wail my dear time ' s waste: Thus wrote Shakespeare in his famous Sonnet XXX. It is an excellent piece of poetry. Yet the thought contained within this poem can very easily apply to students of to¬ day. How many times, after we have written examina¬ tions, have we paused to say to ourselves, If only I ' d studied harder instead of wasting my time. We con¬ stantly new wail our “dear time ' s waste after it is too late. The exam has been written and our marks will show whether we have wasted our time or not. Teachers cannot stress too much the fact that a student must study to get a good mark. Even geniuses such as Einstein study constantly. A student may get by in the lower forms without too much work, but once he reaches grade eleven, he realizes that he must study or fail his year. Forming good study habits is a prime factor in actual studying. A person who studies Latin, Chemistry, and French for half an hour each can learn more than one who studies History for five hours without a break. The best thing to do is to study a little and relax a little. To the pupils in the lower forms, this must probably sound like a sermon. They will read it and soon forget it. I know I felt that way myself in grade nine. However, since I have been in grade thirteen, I have come to realize how invaluable my studying is to me. I can only advise, not force, anyone to study. I know this because I have experienced it. I can truthfully say that many in grade thirteen began studying six weeks before the finals. Were you one of these?
