'. 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

68 TI-IE London, Feb. 9, 1934. Dear Fellow Pupils,- On this cold winter morning, we had a very interesting Address from Mr. West concerning the warm land of Egypt. His topic was Egyptian hieroglyphics. While any subject concerning this land bordering on the Nile always possesses mys- tery, Mr. West presented his information in such a way that many immediately left for Egypt to study these mysterious markings. I was surprised to learn that this ancient language has a definite alphabet, of which there are about twenty letters. The specialists on the subject have discovered that certain pictures and symbols will represent a letter or a group of letters. Mr. West also pointed out that it is only within the last century or so, that they have given forth their meaning to the world. The twenty minutes passed by far too soon, but may we hope to have such a pleasure again? This game is certainly a good one. -Frank Dowler ,: y I-2 - : .A , ,fpi reg ml- ' a we Jean Tenmzni London, March 9, 1934. Dear Colleagues- The memory of this morning's auditorium period will stay with us for a long time. Mr. Hall, of the staff, spoke to us on, I wish someone had told me when I was your age. Mr. Hall brought home to us the possibilities of another war in the near future and what it would mean to us as students. He reminded the boys that most of them would be vitally concerned and would be forced to face the horrors of a war, much worse than the World War, as far as cruel hardships and wholesale slaughter were concerned. Mr. Hall certainly made us think, and brought to us very vividly the danger in which we were standing. We were beginning to feel lost and helpless when Mr. Hall came to our rescue. Stand up and voice your opinions, he said, and let those in charge know that you. as the youth of the country, do not wish to throw away your lives for a useless cause -war! Mr. Hall concluded by urging us to back all anti-war associations and to believe in the League of Nations. We will, Mr. Hall, and thank you for your talk, which gave us so much to think about, and aroused our interest in the affairs of today. How large our Robin is growing! ' -Laird Bovaird REVIEW London, May 18, 1934. Dear Students- I received the Round Robin in the mail yesterday. It's getting to be quite a book to read! This morning, Col. Wm. Beattie gave a fine address on Why War Should be Prevented. Col. Beattie, the president of the London Branch of the League of Nations Society, had been a chaplain during the Great VVar, and therefore knew whereof he spoke. His address, somewhat humourous at the outset, grew more and more serious. He told us frankly the horrors of war, which is not a parade behind a brass band. He stressed the importance of the co-operation of the youth of today. As conditions of today are identical with those of 1914, we must prevent a war which would involve the whole world. Indeed a startling, but necessary message. -Ken. Hunt fe A-f I fra all P ll! -f May 26th, 1934. Central C.I. Hello Everybody: Recently we were much indebted to Mrs. Calvert, president of the Women's Canadian Club, who introduced to us Doctor Ross, of Montreal, lawyer, book-reviewer, author and bibliophile. The topic of his interesting and entertaining address was Modern Poetry. The delightful childhood poetry of Nathalia Crane was much enjoyed. Dr. Ross' address was liberally sprinkled with humourous remarks concerning punctuation and apartment houses. Since one fine speech leads me to recall others, I remember that Mr. Porter, registrar of the Ontario Agricultural College, spoke to us about two months ago and told us of the type of work done in that institution. He pointed out the progress that had been made in the various depart- ments and particularly in Bee-Keeping, Horticul- ture and Chemistry. He proved that the O.A.C. had more than justified its cost by the large amount it has saved for the farmers of Ontario. In March Inspector Jennings, of Toronto, brought a few words of greeting and presented us with some very excellent advice. Later, Principal A. C. Lewis, of East York Collegiate, Toronto, who was inspecting our famous staggered system, brought us greetings from his institution and delivered a humourous address that contained some fine advice for the future. On April the sixteenth a representative of the Temperance Society presented an illustrated lec- ture on the subject Alcohol and Health. I hope, in closing, that my news has helped the Round Robin grow a little, either in length or width. Yours truly, -Donald Miller
