Vocational Guidance HUGH Cowie. A XIII A One day last fall I dropped in for a chat with our Vice-Principal and Vocational Guidance instructor, Mr. Philp. His office isn't very large and is rather difficult to find, but I'm certainly glad I reached it, for in it was a man who helps and in- spires the students of our school. In the life of every student there comes the time when he or she must choose a vocation. If one is going right to work, or going on to college, the time to decide is very important. To be happy one must be in such work as appeals to him, and, to be at a maximum efliciency, all talents must be utilized. This then is the problem facing the Vo- cational Guidance Counsellor. lVIr. Philp is our Counsellor and has made a distinct contribution to many of us. Of the many problems that face him, there are none which he declines. From straightening out troubled students' worries and getting them started on the right road, to helping me get this article. The wise, generous spirit of Mr. Philp is more and mo1'e an influ- ence in our school, and all who have reason to consult him come away with a new confidence in them- selves, with a profound respect for his judgment and with real grati- tude for his willing manner. WVar Savings ANXE Coxmo. .X XII ti For six years the students of Ii. C. I. have been supporting the sale of War Savings Stamps and Certi- iicates. Since 1940 when the first stamp went on sale the students of this school have been buying many dollars worth each year. Ever since the first sponsor, Mr. Downes, inaugurated the sale of this war-winning commodity, there has been keen interest and firm support. Mr. Fisher, the present sponsor, has been very pleased with the sales during his term of office. Although the war has ended, the sale of stamps goes on, because the financial debt incurred by the war must be taken care of. The story of the power and use of this money has often been told and need not be repeated. The be- nefits of the purchase will be seen in the future. This 1'eport deals with the purchase of this worth- while commodity by a small section of Young Canada. The war has been won. but the peace is not yet secured. The young people of Canada, who during the war, purchased these War Savings Stamps, will now have those war- saved dollars to invest in peacetime development. The winning of the peace will therefore be of concern to all of them. KLEINSCHIVIIDTS LIMITED PLYMOUTH AND CHRYSLER MoToR CARS FARGO TRUCKS 20.3 - 2221 Rim: ST. lixsr llul. T-T317 lllh THE GRUMBLEF2

ALWAYS LOOK AND ASK FOR . . d O MEATS BURNS 8a CO. tEasternJ LTD. Pioneer Meat Packers of Canada - - Kitchener, Ontario During its years of operation the committee has also sent packages of 1,000 cigarettes each to our nine prisoners of war. These parcels were sent four times during each year. A summary of work of the Parcels' Committee would not be complete without mentioning the fact that copies of the Grumbler were also sent out to all the boys and girls on active service both at home and abroad. With the dawning of peace and the return of our boys from over- seas, the work of the committee has been greatly reduced, although boxes are still being sent, whenever the address is available, to our former students in hospital or in Occupational Forces.

His con- ducting cannot be described. Let it suffice to say that during the Lone Ranger's Serenade from the William Tell Overture he seemed to be 'pumping up' the orchestra. Small wonder that he is considered to be the most energetic conductor living! During an interview after the performance he related some de- tails of his recent tour of Australia. He had gone as guest conductor and had played everywhere from large city auditoriums to small town halls. In one such instance he recalled the long lines of school children waiting for admission. ff' iii' 1 - ' fr.:-fig get! In his opinion the present-day school children of Ontario have a high regard for the classics, and form his most enthusiastic audi- ences. He believes that there is an abundance of talent and that, in general, our standards are still quite high. No matter when Sir Ernest Mac- Millan and the Toronto Symphonic Orchestra return, it won't be soon enough. Such a treat is one not easily forgotten. For the great majority of us this was our first real concert, our first look at a symphonic orchestra, and I'm cer- tain we all gained in some way from the experience.
