MAXINE WILSON: Upper School feels that it must have one person to show the freshies the ropes. Maxine has taken on this job ishould we say with or without persuasion 'H However, we're glad to have her. Journalism is ahead for our writer. MARGARET ENGLERT: Margaret is one of those pretty girls from St. Mary's High School. who came to no less than K.C.I. to re- ceive her Upper School- she intends next year to enter the field of social ser vice work and we know that she will be a success. -1i' KEITH woooALI.: our sweater boy from Montreal ,jf came to K.C.I. in 1944.

I. with a magnificent new wing. It will, however, no longer be necessary to imagine the wing since plans have been made for its construction, and it may be a reali- ty by 1948. The wing will .be three stories high and will include wood, ma- chine, auto and electric shops, as well as foundry, sheet metal and welding departments. A boon to the present crowded conditions will be the twenty-one additional classrooms. One of the classrooms, which will be used for English, boasts a small stage where debates and dramatic rehearsals can take place. A new and exceptionally large boys' gymnasium will take care of the students who at present have no gym classes because of lack of room. Plans also include d1'essing rooms, team rooms and new offices for our P.T. instructors. Special rooms will take care of all school athletic equipment. Those staying for lunch will wel- come the new, better, and larger SYBIL CARD. A Xl D cafeteria. The present cafeteria will be converted into a kitchen. One of the greatest improve- ments will be the enlargement of the auditorium. The orchestra-pit will be in the place of the present stage and seats will occupy the po- sition vacated by the orchestra. Major-players will consider new dressing rooms an asset. Storage space for stage properties will also be available. The new wing will be joined to the new school by corridors, which will cut through, what are at pres- ent, classrooms. A projection-room in the lower part of the .building will appeal to those modern individuals who ad- vocate visual aids. To those who are blessed with milk-boxes the new, large steel lockers may seem the greatest im- provements. These lockers will line all the walls. All realize the necessity of the wing since our school, built to accommodate eight hundred, has an enrollment of fourteen hundred. Without a doubt the new wing will be approved by all of us and will make school a more enjoyable place. THE GRUMBLER 83

GLENN POTH: This is Glenn's first year at K.C.I.: he came from New Dundee Continuation School.

FLORENCE RATZ: Much to Mr. Class' disgust, Florrie finds it very difficult to stay awake in French. Maybe the Ratz Family will surprise him some day! She has taken part. in sports. Junior Public Speak- ing, and Red Cross. Next year?-an Honour Course in Science at Toronto. JANE RATZ: Jane finally found out why she blushes so easily.

EDITOR! L . . . HIS is the first time in six years that the Grumbler has been published when the nations of the world are externally at peace. The dark clouds of death and destruction have passed away to allow the bright rays of hope to shine upon us. As we look back into the past years, and compare our Canada to other countries, we cannot but realize in what a richly blessed Dominion we live. Our ears have never hea1'd the shrieking shrill- ness of descending bombs, neither have our eyes ever been filled with the horror of the chaos which struck so hard upon the European and Asiatic countries. Indeed we are living in a for- tunate land. But insofar as human sacrifice is concerned. we have paid a tremendous debt. And now that the crisis is passed, we notice a great contrast of emotions. The Halifax docks swarm with rejoicing folks, as they anxiously await the return of loved ones, but, on the other hand, the hearts of many are heavy, and spirits full of despair, for a vast number of our boys who shall never return. Byron, in his poetic masterpiece Waterloo , displays the re- flections of our thoughts very vividly- Last noon beheld them full of lusty life, Last eve in Beauty's circle proudly gay, The midnight brought the signal sound of strife, The morn, the marshalling in arms, -the day, Battle's magnificently stern array! The thunder-clouds close o'er it, which when rent The earth is covered thick with other clay, Which her own clay shall cover, heaped and pent, Rider and horse, -friend, foe, -- in one red burial blent! They, who have given their all, have, in so doing, won for us a freedom which is ours to guard. They have overthrown the totalitarian principles, which involve greediness and injustice, and have preserved democracy, which has proved to be the successful method of legislation. They have thrown to us the torch g we must hold it high and not break faith with those who die. Herein lies a confronting challenge. The destiny of our country lies in the hands of this generation, -with us. The world needs intelligent, clear-thinking citizens, who
