6 KINGJTON coLi.eGiA're VOCATIONALV INJTITUTE A VALEDICTORY By james Shales, SA Each year in the school there is a group who have come to the end of the road. They have reached a point where parting from K.C.V.I. stares them full in the face. With what thoughts do they face this period? VVhat recollections crowd and throng the halls of their memory? How many can look back and say truth- fully, 'I will forget all this - all these Weary, unhappy years' Many would, no doubt, but some night when the days remaining of the last term can be counted on the fingers of your hands, some night when they happen to be alone, old names, old scenes will rise before them, some old friend will again be with them in memory, old pranks will be re-enacted. Then they will realize what K.C.V.I. has meant, and always will mean to them. The Collegiate is perhaps the first institution toward which the youth be- gins to feel that virtue whose praises are so highly sung-School Spirit. Likewise it is the first time perhaps that they ex- perience a lack of something accustomed as they pass by and see newcomers go- ing in where they once went. We, the graduating class, are bid- ding farewell to the School-where the first elements of individual character be- gan to obtrude themselves, to the gen- eral discomfort of various teachers: the School where the first half-serious love affairs were hatched: the School where five of the happiest years of our youth were spent: the School-Our School. As to our teachers: it was given to this year's graduating class to be present at a change from the old to the new. Mr. Sliter and Mr. Saunders, to mention two of long connection with Ii.C.V.I., have left us. The advent of Mr. Danby brought new rules and new conditions. The addition this year of the Technical School has brought more. But in spite of all these cross-influences who of us will soon for- get completely Mr. Hedley, Mr. Hits- man, Miss Hall or Miss Chown, and these are but four of many. To these, our teachers, much credit is due, for it must be said that, whether we always appreciated it, their work was solely in our interests, their time, which should have been leisure, was ours for the ask- ing. And in the style of those who have previously wasted ink in way of a valedic- tory-Phoebe VVeir and Fraser Cliff- here's to our Collegiate: to those gradu- ating-Best of Luck: to those just be- ginning-may you, when you leave IQC. V.I., have all the happy memories and associations that we, graduating, will never part with. THE OLD TIME SPIRIT OF K. C. I In days of yore, so it is told, When schools were new and cities old A spirit who on earth oft strode, Chose this dear school for his abode. ! For many years he dwelt in peace, Without a thought of rent or lease, Giving each student, old and new, Love for his school, now found in few. The school grew great, the students proud, At every game there was a crowd, But then, pride goes before a fall, And finally it ended all. As pride increased the spirit said, These haughty halls shall miss my head, Disappearing without a fuss, He took his love away from us. Then in these halls there did appear, Another head that knew no fear, A new principal come to seek, That old spirit so mild and meek. Quoth he, That spirit could not die, Somewhere concealed it must lie. So he set zealously about, Seeking that spirit, in and out. Has he yet found it? you inquire, And if not will he never tire Of searching, morning, noon, and night, Hunting about from left to right? My friends! I know he will not cease, Nor give to us poor fools our peace, Until he draws, from low or high, That old time spirit of K.C.I. Wendell Kaitting, 4D. ..37..

l FOUR A IRENE BARLOW-Irene occupies the hrst seat in 4A. We are not sure whether it was for more knowledge she chose this place or whether it was to watch everyone that passes bv the door. Irene is a good student and we all wish her the best of luck. 5 VYOLA BROOKS-Vy was a newcomer to K.C.V.I. in September. She was born in Windsor many long years ago, and came to us from Ottawa. Vy is a good pupil as well as a good sport. Without a doubt she will occupy one of the seats in hfth next year. -DOROTHY BUCK-For six years King- ston has known Dorothy. She is a peach of a dancer and a favourite of all 4A. Of Scotch and English a rare combination She induced on our part instant prostration, With her sparkling eves and winning smile, She gathers friends all the while. VERLA BUCK - That stork sure was wise when it come to attractive girls! Just look what came along to Mr! and Mrs. Buck in 1914. Ever see anything like her? Of course you know I am speaking of Verla Buck from 4A. Here is luck to you Verla! IRENE CLEETON-Sitting in the third seat of the first row is one of 4A's gossips- Irene in perscn, At the tender age of six she came from Edmonton, Alberta. She attended Victoria School, at last graduating, entered the Collegiate. This year Irene hopes to be graduating again. Best of luck Irene! MARJORIE MCALONAN--Marj. came with her bright smile from Seeley's Bay to gather up more knowledge. She is one of the few privileged students of 4A. I suppose the smile did it. Well here is hoping that smiles win through in June. LOIS NILES-Lois comes every morn- ing across the bounding main in the stately Wolfe Islander. She is a dark-haired little maiden and is always ready to help. She always has her work done. Lois intends to be a school teacher, and we all join in wish- ing her luck. DOROTHY PETERS-Dorothy, a bright young lassie, holds down a seat in the famous 4A. She is a great favourite with everyone. Dot takes an active part in sports and is the girl's athletic representative. She excels in everything. Her aim in life is unknown, but here's the best of luck. STEWART ALDRIDGE-Stewart is one of those who takes joy in making the life of other fourth formers happier. He works most of the time and everyone wishes him good luck in June. DOUGLAS ALEXANDER - Small but brainy, after attending school in England, for a time, came back to Canada in 1929 and has been a joy to everyone's heart since. I ROBERT ASHCROFT-It came to pass in the days of Mackenzie the King, that Robert Ashcroft came to K.C.I. Bobby hides behind Malcolm Brown, in 4A, trying to conceal from the world his mighty intellect. Alas, 'tis vain, it bursts out in every direction. ANDRE-Ken's salient char- acteristic is his sense of humour. Andre excels in all sports, being especially adept with a thumb tack, and his brain is so prodigious, that his exams are a foregone conclusion. LEONARD ATACK-Is the only male of 4A who has penetrated the mysteries of German. He is very interested in Science, and intends to take up Chemical Engineering. He takes our best wishes. GORDON BAKER -- Who comes from Cataraqui is another joyful inmate of 4A. He has made the grade each year and intends go- ing to 5th next years. DOUGLAS BEARANCE-Upholds the honour of 4A in athletics, being goalie on the hockey team where he sometimes uses his face instead of the stick. He needs no lnck in June as he will get his exams anyway. MELVILLE BOYD-Came to us from Victoria School in l928, He intends going to fifth next year and then he will train for elec- trical engineering. MALCOLM BROWN-His past-should certainly be in print. His present-equally brilliant. His future-entering medicine at Queen's. The world future-better health be- cause of better doctors. REGINALD CHOWN-A newcomer to the school this year. However he makes his cheery presence felt, and we feel sure he will triumph over all examination obstacles. WILLIAM CONNOR - Tries hard to keep the fair sex amused and after that to get his exams. His future is shrouded in mist and we dare not speak of it. EDWIN COOMBE-Another Cataraqui student, while small, has the goods. He never disappoints the teachers and hopes to attend fifth form next year. Good luck, Eddie. GORDON FERGUSON-The delight of all the teachers. His startling solutions of Geometry problems show promise of revolu- tionizing all Mathematics. Space does not permit us to tell more, but great things must come of him. STANLEY GOGUEL-The best example of a real human in 4A condescended to come back to us after Christmas. Everybody joins in wishing him the best of luck in June. EDWARD MacDONALD - Comes from Wolfe Island and keeps a front seat warm in 4A. He is small and shy but he always has the goods. RUDOLPH OHLKE-When Caesar said let me have men about me who are fat he was voicing his fear of his rival Titus Ohlke, not mentioned in history. Another Ohlke has arisen-Rudolph of 4A. He is going into Meds.-ahh! ROBERT RIDER - 4A's example of austerity. His specialty is Physics and he has evolved several new theories. No one knows what he is doing and no one knows what he is going to do, but good luck, any- way, Bob. ABE RICHMOND - Whence cometh he? Whither is he going? Alas, we know not for he is naught but a myth: and yet it is whispered that he hath a comely presence, and even Mr. Fraser taketh him to his bosonl. Well, Abe: we wish you the best of luck. DAVID STEVENSON--Much above the average student-head and shoulders above. How dignified he is-even the teachers are beneath him! Despite occasional inattention, David gets along well and he fully intends to get his 6642. We think he will too. STEWART TISDALE-One of the rea- sons why Wrigley is so rich, and why people Hock to the Tivoli He manages to get along by borrowing somebody else's Work and we know he will pass in June. ...39..
