THE REVIEW 71 London, Nov. 6, 1934. To My New Friends,- This morning one of the incidents that have attracted my special attention throughout my short attendance at Central, took place. The exercises were progressing somewhat uneventfully, when to my surprise, the curtain was gradually drawn aside, displaying the members of the Newly- Organized Glee Club, who had ranged themselves effectively around the piano. At a commanding note by Mr. Carr, the hall immediately vibrated with the sweet notes of the girls and the deeper tones of the boys. To us were presented three songs, all of which exhibited very concentrated training for such a short period of practice. The first performance of the Glee Club was a success! Hope we have more nice surprises like that! -Tenrzice Gibbons '23 London, Nov. 13, 1934 js? Hello Central- Last night all the executives of C the student body met in the school for the Executive Banquet. Mr. Johnston took up his usual post as master of ceremonies and started the evening off. After an excellent meal the speeches began. Follow- ing a worth-while address by Mr. Miller, Anne Walden introduced each member of the Students' Council in a very unique manner. Margaret Milroy, accompanied by Florence Dewar, was the soloist of the evening. This was followed by a short speech from the members of the staff who act as Guardian Spirit of each year. Then, under the leadership of Mr. Carr, we sang many favourite songs, old and new. This very enjoyable evening was concluded with the singing of the school song and God Save the King. Our Round Robin must be nearly fully grown. -Bette I riksater P93 This Robin had a Limp London, Sept. 24, 1934. Attention Central! ' As you know, the election campaign has been going on all this week and the speeches have been really good. Originality and ready wit have been very marked in most of them, this year. Of course candidates for year offices spoke only before their respective years, while the students running for general positions spoke before the whole school. There is a slight change in the Students' Council this year. The president and vice-president were selected by last year's Council. This year's Council is made up of the presidents of the Athletic Associations, the president of the Literary Society, as well as the presidents of the year executives. This seems promising for a fine year! -Jim Bell Central, Nov. 16, 1934. Hello Everybody- We had a splendid time this evening at the Second Year Party, under the direction of Mr. McCallum, our master of ceremonies. The pro- gramme began with the Pantomime directed by Miss Wyatt and Mr. Carr. This was followed by the main play, directed by Miss Roddick, entitled They Got What They Wanted, a melodrama which excited intense interest among the audience. Then the amusements began. We were divided into four groups and, after fifteen minutes in one place the group changed about until each one had moved four times. A delicious banquet followed with a short address by Mr. Miller. Soon we were back in the Auditorium for dancing which lasted about an hour. At Mr. McCallum's sug- gestion, all the boys helped to put the chairs away, which, . as somebody said, was the best part of the party. .9 -George Der Slepanian '93 London, Nov. 17, 1934. To My Central Chums- Thursday morning Mr. L. R. Macgregor, the Australian trade commissioner to Canada, was welcomed to our Auditorium exercises. Through the medium of motion pictures we visited some of the interesting localities of his country. We saw the coral reef, and the caverns in which the stalac- tites and stalagmites are found. There were excellent views of the provincial capitals, and also of the main industries, mining, lumbering and sheep farming. The pictures of the kangaroos were especially interesting. Towards the end of this speech Mr. Macgregor made mention of an essay contest, the winner of which will be given a free trip to Australia. We wonder who the lucky one will be? In our fifth year meeting in the gym this morning, Miss MacKinnon told us a few interest- ing facts about the little islands of St. Pierre and Miquelon. These islands have clung to the ancient French customs, are governed by a French official, and speak the pure mother tongue. Their upper, or rather wealthier class, are the bootleggers, and while a little fishing is carried on, the people as a whole depend on the wine trade for their live- lihood. If . ' .1 . For this most interesting talk ,, i, xii R' we thank Miss MacKinnon and Wif.:f.fV,pf1 hopes she speaks again soon. 7J -Marjorie Tasker

Our boys put up the usual good fight for which they are noted, but were defeated 11-8. The second game, which was a home game for Central, was played at Tecumseh Park against our old rivals the South Seniors. Again we found our boys at the wrong end of the score which was 5-2. This game was very close, and our boys showed up very well, fighting every inch of the way, several times obtain- ing their yards. The following week the Seniors went out to the Beck grounds and defeated them in an exceedingly well played game, the score being 8-6. Our next game was held in Sarniag a splendid crowd accompanied our team down, but in a great sea of mud and water, they were beaten 6-0. With the Juniors Our Junior Team this year was rather light, but fast and experienced. After a month and a half or so of intensive training they opened the season at Wes- tern against the new llderton team which entered the series this fall. Central won this game 39-0, outclassing llderton in every way. The second game, against South, was a very excit- ing one and although we were defeated 9-8, our boys played well and showed us their true value, it was very close and splendid work was done by each member of our team. The third game, which was our home game against Beck, was also played at Western. A splendid fight was given by our visitors but they were defeated 21-0. A week later our Juniors went out to Ilderton and there found a great- ly changed team, although we took them 29-5, a team with such an amount of spirit and iight and with such a small amount of experience would be hard to equal-Good luck- llderton in your future cam- paigns. The following game was the most important one of the whole series, it was against South again, held at Tecumseh Park. South was 2 points in the lead, and we were striving to tie them by winning. However, this was not to be, for in an extremely hard fought game, from which South emerged victorious, we were obliged to take second place in the city series, the score was 11-6. The last game of the junior series was held at Beck, and on a field covered with snow, Beck Continued on pane 96 IN QSTRALIA Terry Ferris, L. C. C.I. Out- standing Athlete Less than four years ago, when Terry Ferris started training for the annual cross-country run, little did he think that his prow- ess as a runner would win for him a trip to the opposite side of the world. However, he was interested in running and was not satisfied with anything less than his best. He paid strict attention to training rules, get- ting proper rest, usinga suitable diet, carrying on a regular pro- gramme of training, and sacrific- ing many temporary pleasures in order to fit himself for a de- finite goal-his best. On his first attempt in the three-mile cross-country run he was the winner and has led the field each year since. On the track he has specialized in the half-mile event and the VV.O.S.S.A. record that had stood since 1923 was broken this year when Terry bettered that record by several seconds. Besides his track records he has established an excellent athletic record in other activities, being prominent in rugby, basketball, hockey and tennis. In academic work Terry has Continued on page 81 London Honours Girl Athlete Poppy Nevin Receives Ring Isabel CPoppyl Nevin, 15- year-old girl athlete who broke three records in one night, was presented with a handsome signet ring on October 7th, by Mayor Wenige. Poppy broke the Canadian high-jump record, the former being 4 ft. 9 in.-the new, 4 ft. IOM inch. She tied the Canadian 100 yard-dash for Junior girls and shattered the provincial mark. Poppy also broke the broad-jump record for the playgrounds. All of these were made on the same day, by the same girl. His VVorship the mayor said in making the presentation, I have much pleasure in present- ing you with this ring, and I hope every time you look at it you will remember it is the city's tribute to you for your achieve- ments. Alderman Skeggs asked Poppy if she took the legs of a frog and tied them on her own or if she watched a frog all day long to see how to jump. Poppy thanked the Council saying that it was a great plea- sure to accept the gift. She gave most of the credit to Bryce and Sam Munro for her success. She also said that it was her ambition to bring further honours to the city. Mr. Doidge expressed con- fidence that Miss Nevin would achieve higher honour. There were 400 children competing in the meet. If there had been keener competition in the 100- yard dash she probably would have broken two records. Continued on page 75
