A XIII A A most outstanding event of the school year was the visit of Sir Ernest MacMillan and the Toronto Symphony Orchestra. They came to Kitchener in the late autumn to present a public concert, but they also gave a special afternoon performance for the Kitchener-Waterloo school children. Among the selections played were the spritely Shepherd's Hey and the immortal William Tell Over- ture . The way in which the audi- ence called for encores left no doubt as to the extent of its appreciation. A great many of us had heard of the dynamic personality of Sir fContinued on page 1071 .All Interview Wvith Major Dlefool Rox' DONNER. A XIII A Major McCool, Assistant Super- visor of Music for Secondary Schools, is indeed the man for his job. Formerly a teacher at Har- bord Collegiate in Toronto, he be- came interested in music prior to the War. However, he enlisted in the Canadian Army and went over- seas. He told about the time he was sent to Iceland, and, having on hand some twenty-five hundred dollars Worth of instruments, thanks to the C.O., he had all musical men avail- able drafted into his command and proceeded to whip a band out of fC0ntinl1ed on page 981 THE GRUMBLER 47

INTERVIEYVS Jlr. Keefe NIARY Lou HALSTEAD. A XIII C Do you know where the auto is? Well, you go up some through a hall, down some shop steps, steps, through a snowbank, up steps, in a door and there some you are! You can sit quite com- fortably on the bumper of a car and chat with Mr. Keefe. You can dis- cover that before he came to K.C.I., Mr. Keefe taught for seven years in Danforth Technical School in Toronto. When he was last a stu- dent, it was in the Hamilton Train- ing College for Technical teachers. Mr. Keefe teaches auto shops, and helps with the camera club on the side -time permitting. Ac- cording to him, Kitchener is just 'alright'. 'It's as good as any place, I suppose, but it's too far from the cottage'. fFor the benefit of the fishermen in the crowd, it's strictly bass in Georgian Bay.J I made a mistake. I asked Mr. Keefe why K.C.I. is different from Toronto schools. He looked at me -then he looked at the oil cans, the little stove, the miniature class- rooms and the great out-of-doors sp1'ead between the shop and the school proper-and he said: You come in here, and ask me what makes it 'diEerent'. CPS.- They wear fur coats in the auto shop too.D Welcome to the Collegiate, Mr. Keefe, and we hope that the next year or two will bring you indoors with the rest of the civilized world. 1454 Dir. Slnith RoBERT PoLLoCK. A XIII B Flt. Lt. Smith returns once again to old K.C.I. Snuffy , as he is known to the stud-ents, graduated from Western University in Hon- our French and German, coming to K.C.I. in the fall of '36. Mr. Smith took a very active part in drama- tics, producing many fine plays. He was equally enthusiastic about de- bates, and skiing. In '41 Mr. Smith joined the Air Force. He told me one of his ex- periences, which he shall never for- get. Having been posted to Number Seven Radio School under the im- pression he was to be given a course, he discovered he was the instructor, and the course was to be given in French to sailors of the French Fleet Air Arm. Snuffy went into a hasty retreat with a dictionary and survived. Dictionary Smith's favourite ex- pression at that time was, Oh my. I wonder where that next word is. Mr. Smith thinks the students in this school have more developed personalities than in other places. In what way, Mr. Smith? HQ, Jliss Schmidt HELEN TAYLOR. A XII E Miss Schmidt, who resides in room 203, came to K.C.I. this term from Delhi High School. She is a home town lassie, returned to teach at the collegiate from which she graduated only a short time ago. Our large extra-curricular activi- ties please her very much. It is very comprehensive, she told us, and then went on to explain Kas any good English teacher wouldj By that I mean that it provides a club for nearly every interest of the student. The assemblies, she said, are especially well done. Miss Schmidt spends her school hours teaching English and Social Studies to grades nine and ten of all three departments. I enjoy K.C.I. very much, although we could have more room, she re- marked. THE GRUMBLER 49
