Q KINGJTEDN EIOLLEGIATE VOCATIONALI 1N.fTl1'u1's -9 THE VULCAN, Central Technical School, Toronto. Yours is a very enjoyable magazine, and the literary talent shown in the stories is exceptional. O.A.C. REVIEU7, Guelph. A good magazine, but we noticed some departments lacking, such as exchange and humour sections. REVIEIV, London Central Collegiate. A very well arranged and interesting year book, which must have taken a great deal of planning. You have a very attrac- tive cover design. ECHOES, Peterborough Collegiate. As usual you have an excellent magaz- ine. Next year perhaps you might add a few cartoons. ALIEI, Albert College, Belleville. Your magazine is complete in every de- tail. You have some interesting pictures of the interior of the school. We feel that your Alumni Section is too long. EASTERN ECHO, Eastern HS. of Commerce, Toronto. You have an attractive magazine with good group pictures. Your jokes and car- toons are rather scanty, however. EXCHANGE POETRY THE BEST THINGS IN LIFE ARE FREE A Smile costs nothing, It is free, not bought, And yet - A Smile may conquer An angry thought. A Touch costs nothing, A Touch of sympathy, And yet A Touch, in time of sorrow Means much to me.

The Exchange Editor has a very pleas- ant and interesting task in reading and commenting on the various magazines which are received at K.C.V.l. The ex- change of magazines is one of the best ways to promote friendliness among schools which otherwise would have no connecting link. We hope that all com- ments on magazines are received in the same friendly spirit in which they are given. ACTA STUDENTTUIVT, Vaughan Road Collegiate, Toronto. This is one of the most interesting of our Exchanges. The Literary section was splendid and we did enjoy the stories and poetry. The Sports' sections, both boys and girls, were very well written. VOX S TU DEN TI U ZW, Port Arthur. A very interesting magazine. A table of contents would improve it, also more cartoons. Your science section is especially good, but sports take up a little too much space. THE ORACLE, Eort lVilliam. Bigger and better than ever this year. We have no criticism of it. P.C.I. NEXUS, Pemlnrolee. We enjoyed your magazine very much. The Canadian Art and Letters section is especially line and Wilson Maclflonaldls letter is a good addition. Your jokes sec- tion is very good, also the cartoons are splendid. THE SCARBORO BLUFF, Toronto. A good magazine, but the sports section is a little long. Your group photographs were arranged very nicely. THE ORACLE, Lomlon South Collegiate. London., Ont. We have no suggestions for this inter- esting year book. Your short stories were excellent and we liked the way you handled the Exchange Section. THE HQIRPOONER, Renfrew. Your magazine would be more interest- ing with some short stories. Also, the Jokes Section would be better if longer. VOX LYCEI, Lisgar Collegiate, Ottawa. An excellent year book. We enjoyed the stories, but would suggest a separate literary section. The group pictures were very clear. YEAR BOOK, Paris High School. This magazine would be very much more interesting with some short stories. More cartoons would brighten it up considerably, and we would consider it an improvement to have all the jokes in a Humour Section. On the whole. a good magazine. THE NOR VOC, Northern Vocational School, Toronto. This is a splendid magazine, and for a first attempt it is certainly well done. ...65...

A Track and Field Sports at K. C. V.l. Bill Neville, 4C The annual E.O.S.S.A. track meet held every September at a different school at- tracts a large number of athletes from nearly every high school in Eastern Ontario. Some schools much smaller than K.C.V.l. send nsore than twice as many representa- tives. At the last meet the blue and white was carried by live boys and live girls, a small delegation from a school with over a thousand students! VVhy is this ? you ask. And the answer can be easily and readily given-no enthusiasm to excite the students to the possibilities of the glory and renown that can be won on the cinder path. And it isnjt because we have no talent, very delinitely Nol,' Last summer H9315 four boys who did have what the majority of their school- mates lacked--enthusiasm, to name it again -decided that they had the goods, to make a championship relay team. Settling down to serious training in May they were in tip-top shape for the District Meet in june. Needless to say they won their event easily and left the required time standard a good many paces behind, too. With this victory came a trip to the Canadian National meet at Toronto in August, and this neces- sitated continual training throughout the holidays, but the lads stuck by, and were in perfect condition for the big race. They were niatched against the best junior high school athletes in Ontario and gave a very creditable showing, being beaten out of lirst place by the 'narrowest of margins. The members of this team deserve the plaudits of the whole school and it might be well to mention their names. The team was com- posed' of - B ' Rowland, Gordie Davoud, Hank Lingham, and Dick Vllilder, all of whom later in the year showed their ver- satility by combining on the football held for the betterment of the junior twelve. This is just an illustration of what K.C.V.I. can do on the track or held if it sets its mind to the task. There is a wealth of undiscovered material around the school, that, if awakened, could bc developed into a strong contingent to represent K.C.V.l. at the next District meet. This is an appeal to the boys and girls of this school to throw oft the blanket and get out and burn up the old cinder path, or show them how to putt shot. This is also an appeal to the physical instructors and any teachers interested in sport to help us put the big blue KW on the track and held map! Come on, everybody, why do you hesitate, when there are plenty of records waiting to be broken- Let K.C.V.T. do it! -67--
