THE GRUMBLER T3 . Interviews . . . Iliff. Boggs Ruth Bender. A XIII A If students are finding geography exceptionally interesting, it is be cause Mr. Boggs is putting his vast knowledge and experience into it. Gone are the days when a geo- graphy course included merely the location of mountain ranges and rivers. The modern approach is to apply the whys and wherefores of those same mountain ranges and rivers to the use of the people and the country. One of Canada's two professional geographers, Mr. Boggs enthusiastically feels that geography, as a vocation, has a future in Canada. Mr. Boggs, a graduate of Toron- to's Bloor Collegiate and the Uni- versity of Toronto, came to K.C.I. from the Air Force, where he was a Navigation Instructor. As you have probably guessed, flying is one of his hobbies. According to Mr. Boggs, one of Kitchener's great virtues is that its citizens are very kind. Our school spirit impressed him favour- ably and he appreciates the fact that the teacher seems to be con- sidered a friend rather than a task- master. In our turn, we are glad to have Mr. Boggs at K.C.I. and wish him every success in the future. ,Q- Air. Ca rter Irma Warkentin. A XIII A The School Board was most for- tunate in its choice of our Mr. Car- ter for the K.-W. C.V.S. staff. Born in England, and having received his elementary education there, he has an interesting and varied back- ground. After High School at New- market, he attended O.A.C. at Guelph, where he met Miss Jean Nairn, now his wife, a sister of our own Miss Helen Nairn. After fin- ishing his course at O.C.E., he taught at Mount Forest. He is versatile and energetic. He takes a keen interest in handicrafts -wood carving and pewter work in particular-and has hopes for a Hobby Club in our school. His other interests are skiing, hunting, fish- ing and photography. Naturally, however, his chief in- terest is education, and with it he has always kept in close touch. During the war, he served in the Second Canadian Corps of Educa- tion in France, Holland, Denmark, and Belgium. Mr. Carter was in charge of the publishing of a daily newspaper, one of the most im- portant achievements of the Corps. Mr. Carter, we hope that a Hobby Club will materialize, and we are sure it will be a success under your guidance. EOE. Air. Dz.z1Qfo1'41I Irma Warkentin. A XIII A Mr, Dunford, the man with the youthful outlook who teaches His- tory and English in the East An- nex, is back at K.C.I. after serving with the Infantry during the war. He attended Toronto University, and, after his graduation, came to this Collegiate where he taught until his enlistment. He is enthusi- astic about athletics, particularly rugby. His idea of a good holiday, he tells us, is a canoe trip in Tema- gami. His pet antipathy is bridge --it bores him because his wife
