SECRETARIES Secretaries of any organiza- tions have not an enviable position, and the secretaries of the school organizations will no doubt agree with the following: :If he writes a letter it's too long. If he sends a postcard it's too short. If he issues a bulletin, he's a spendthrift. If he attends a committee meet- ing he's butting in. If he stays away he's a shirker. If he offers suggestions he's a know-all. y If he says nothing he's useless. If the attendance at a meeting is slack he should have called up the members. If he calls them up he's a pest. If he asks a member for his subscription he's insulting. If he doesn't he's lazy. If a meeting is a success the committee gets the praise. If it's a failure the secretary gets the blame. If he asks for advice he's incom- petent. If he does not he's swollen- headed. ' Ashes to ashes, dust to dust, If the others won't do it the, secretary must.

'. i f pl Gnlllilanv. , Dear Centralites- As you will notice, your school news section this year is in the form of the game known as Round Robin, in which certain students have been assigned to write up the events about school during a short period. They have sent them in and here they are! We hope you like them. -Pauline Crouch O London, Dec. 8, 1933 Dear Students- Today special exercises were held in honour of Premier Henry. After OCanada and the L.C.C.I. school song had been sung, Premier Henry gave abrief but inspiring address. He feels a great interest in all Ontario schools, and especially in Central Collegiate, because the staggered class system is being introduced, and may prove to be a model for other schools of the province. After stressing the ,value of education to the youth of Ontario, Mr. Henry concluded his message with an appeal to stop the emigration to the United States. Believe in Canada, he said. -Laird Bovaird '23 '23 London, jan. 3, 1934. Dear Centralites- I must say I like this correspondence idea. It really does keep one in touch with the world. I had a fine New Year's holiday, in fact, so much so that it was with great reluctance that I came to school this morning. However, it certainly was a treat to be greeted with a stirring but thought- provoking address by Rev. Mr. Finlay, of Robinson Memorial Church. Basing his remarks on the title of a popular song, Mr. Finlay called his address, Did You Ever See a Dream Walking? He hastened to explain that he was not referring to that kind of dream Cgeneral laughterb, but to the dreams of youth. It was most important, he said, to make these come true, that is, making them walk, He illustrated by reference to men like Lincoln and Rhodes, both of whom made their dreams walk. Finally, as the supreme example, he set forth Christ, who made His dream of redeeming mankind.come true. In closing, the speaker re- minded the students not to forget their dreams, and above all, to make them come true. It certainly was a worthwhile address. Yours ever, -M aurice Rosenthal 4 A Gai '7 . 52 .52-sa London, Jan. 1934. Avast, Shipmates! just a few words to tell you about our Senior at Home. It was a tremendous success. All enjoyed themselves immensely. They tried an innovation in the way of tickets this year. They sold charming red and white St. Valentine's cards- dance programmes, so that we could arrange our dances beforehand. It was by far the nicest idea yet. On arriving, we were greeted by Mr. and Mrs. Miller, Mr. and Mrs. Johnson, Elizabeth Harvey and Jack judge. At the appointed hour, the dancing began. And the music! Bill Robinson's orchestra was at its best, and played just the pieces that everyone liked. During the intermission, we heard some impromptu entertainment. George Jiddy Camp- bell at the piano and Bill Avey with the traps gave a humorous selection about a ridiculous rabbit. Jiddy rendered the words in his own inimitable fashion. More dancing followed. I mustn't forget to mention how lovely the auditorium looked with its red and white decor- ations. There were hundreds of balloons, and of course we had novelty dances. Much to our regret, we broke up the party a little before midnight, after a most successful evening. Onward, dear robin! -Anne Walden
