Xu Q . . ri Tw f fffm, ,,,c....,. .N Editorial Although the personnel of this year's Yox staff has undergone an almost complete change and has been severely handicapped by lack of experience, we modestly hope that this handicap of 'new blood' has been overcome by the co- operation existing among members of the Vox staff and by the enthusiasm that has been exhibited by the student body as a whole. The competition held this year for a new cover design produced a large number of very creditable contributions. A great 'deal of difficulty was ex- perienced by the Vox staff in choosing the winning design before linally decid- ing on the one submitted by Miss Margaret Beckwith, Sli, which is presented in this issue. The drawing submitted by bl. Barber, -lll. is worthy of honourable mention. ln this connection we wish to thank Mr. Hood for judging the draw- ings and choosing the best two from which we in turn made our choice. L'nfortunately, during the winter term, Bliss bl. Muir, MA., our popular Ad- visory Editor, was taken ill and under doctor's orders was forced to resign this position. Mr. H. C. Mann, BA., former Advisory Editor of the Vox, most kindly resumed this duty in order to help us out. XYe are very pleased indeed t.o see that Bliss Muir has sufficiently recovered from her illness to allow her to resume her teaching duties and also take this opportunity to thank Mr. Mann for the great interest he has taken in the Vox Lycei. The advertising problem this year proved to be a diflicult one indeed, owing to the heavy stock slump which tool: place last tall. However, even with this great obstacle confronting it, our advertising staff collected about 391100. worth of ads. Under these adverse circumstances Gordon XYhite and his capable staff are to be most heartily congratulated on their splendid success, This year, as in other years, we have again 'pooled 'our advertising and printing with our sister school, the Glebe. Although the chief purpose of this arrangement is to reduce expenses, nevertheless it also accomplishes another end, namely, that of encouraging the mutual interests and good-will between both schools. In conclusion we most sincerely hope that this yearls issue of the Vox has maintained the high standard of former editions, and wish to extend to future Vox staffs our heartiest good-wishes that they may attain or even exceed the success of 1930.

VOX LYCEI V 23 s ' f 3 X is ., 7 4 J V , 5 ' v X - 12 'fiylgl' I- if A C 'ft School' Notes Although there have not been as many changes in the teaching staff and in the order ot school aitairs as are generally recorded 111 the Yox. yet several pedagogical orbs have changed their spheres and our academical routine has been enlivencd with that which is known as the spice of life. lt was with sincere regret that the school heard of the appointment of Mr. XY. D. T. Atkinson, MA. to the principalship of Collingwood Collegiate. llr. At- kinson in l1is jovial way was always able to disperse the gloom of a lililll lesson and his aptitude for humorously illustrating such portentous lessons was often astounding to his somewhat bewildered pupils. XYith the great eliiciency which he showed as teacher and cadet administrator, his success at Collingwood is as- sured, Let us give Mr. Meng, his sucessor in the cadet work, our utmost support. Miss li. R. Guthrie, BA.. who strove to instill in us a knowledge of French and S1JZ'llll5ll, and was always of great assistance in Concert preparations, is now enjoying married life as Mrs. XY. l. ljarvock, residing on Daly Avenue. Miss Guthries engagement a11d subsequent marriage set many a Lisgar lassie's heart a-flutter. Miss N. I. Hills, BA.. popular member of last year's English staff, has given up teaching for the present to enter the Civil Service, which she declares to be less profitable but more enjoyable . Miss l. C. Brown. H..-X. is filling Klr. 1Atlii1lSOH'S place very efficiently. She comes to us from Cornwall Collegiate Zlllfl her home is in Brockville. Miss R. Hills, B.,-X. was formerly on the start of Exter College and Hr. G. A. Tilden. BA. was at XYattford High School. We wish the 11ew members of our staff every happiness while with us. g During the autumn term a movement arose to change the colours of the school, wl1ich were considered by some to compare unfavorably with those of other schools. The movement was sponsored by Mr. Drulard and Mr. Blake. who pointed out that the present colours did not contrast enough. Several mass meetings of the boys were held and many vivid colour combinations were sug- gested. Many of the older pupils held out for what they considered to be the traditional school colours and it was decided to retain the original royal blue. Beyond that. opinion was very much divided. Conditions now seem to be al- most in status quo. Another essay competition was held by the Canadian branch of the British Empire Service Legion during the fall ter1n and much interest was shown by all the pupils. The peculiar character of the topic selected by the Legion, My Impressions of XN7ar after re-reading Col. MacRae's poem. 'In Flanders Fields,
