L. S. C. I. ORACLE 47 THE FIFTH YEAR ORGANIZATION, 1930-31 Upon the kind invitation of your editor-in-chief, I once again take my pen Qor rather my Dad's typewriterl in hand to expound on the whys and wherefores Cmainly the whereforesl of our famous Cinfamousj Fifth Year Or- ganization of 1930-31. Well, we started out with the sole idea, that, as a group, we wanted to leave something behind us at South. Something not only intangible but tangible. Something, that as the years went by, the memories of The School for us, as ours for her, should not die. Hence we planned and organized and then, for a change organized and planned, that such worthy ideals should not go but to dust and ruin. Mr. Graham was appointed Honor- ary President, Miss MacPherson and Mr. Urlin, Honorary Vice-Presidents. They were good enough to co-operate with us in every way. Roland Shannon has the doubtful privilege of holding down the chair as the president. Hazel Cole is vice-president. QSort of a Shan- non for president, Cole for vice, organi- zationj. Donald A. Scott Cdon't forget that AJ is secretary-treasurer, and we HIS ik PF Ik wk hope that the funds are in good condi- tion. Then there was a permanent exe- cutive elected, whose names you won't be interested' in, but I'll tell you any- way. As is, Ruth Kester, Marjorie Holland, Frank Love and Ed. Fox. Then came the real purpose of the group. It was decided that it was de- sirable that each year we should present to the Upper School student who most nearly conforms with certain regulations that were to be set down, a gold medal. It is impossible to give you in this short space these qualifications in detail, but they will be posted by the executive before the end of the year. Suffice to say that it is not the best athlete, the best scholar, the best orator, etc., that we wanted, but a well-balanced com- bination of all those qualities which go to make an individual valuable to his school, not as an individual preferably, but as a strong cog in that school's ma- chine. It is a worthy medal. second possibly only to the Honor Tablet, and need not be presented in any one year unless a- candidate eligible in the eyes of thedecidingcommitteeisavailable. Let's have some real competition.-ED. Fox. Ik III Ik SIC lk -I The ORACLE regrets it has not been able to get news of all of last year's Fifth Year, and hopes that the Fifth Year Organization, so successfully inaugurated last year, may add to its permanent executive a reporter to the ORACLE. - Congratulations of the L.S.C.I. are extended to Frank Love and John Mc- Kay on being awarded valuable scholarships in the Ontario Agricultural College, Guelph.

46 for gaining the slightest idea of what Browning is talking about. Above all, don't be discouraged. Cne in- telligent man read Browning's 'Sord- ello' and thought he had gone mad, he hadn't the vaguest notion of what it was all about. And according to the dramatist who wrote 'The Barretts of Wimpole Street,' the poet himself forgot what he meant. You see, there is much labour involved, but the re- wards come only to those who hunt for them, those who stray from the paths prescribed, and trace their clues in rhyme where their own will and fancy lead them. BEING AT UNIVERSITY By LAURENE PATERSON, '35 WEsTERN U. Sounds O.K., doesn't it, and you can rest assured it's every bit as good as it sounds. The tug-of-war, the flag-rush and parade in our annual initiation are matters of envy to every pupil in the city, and you can't imagine how much we enjoy that yearly ducking. Then, too, there are all those nice, if some- what mysterious things, you hear so much about at South: fraternities, sor- orities, rugby dances, etc. As far as the fraternities and sororities are con- cerned, they remain just as much a mystery for several years after your entrance to Western. The secret to this exclusiveness lies in the fact that certain marks and good behaviour are required for admittance, but they are certainly worth a little more effort. Now, I don't want you to think we have entirely forgotten South. Not at all! L.S.C.I. is well represented atWestern this year. The following are attend- ing: Mary Axford, Bill Chambers, Lorne Culp, Allan Demanock, Hazel Cole, George Fraser, Isabel Holmes, Betty Holmes, Bob Kemp, Ruth Kester, Mercedes Heal, George McVicar, Kath- erine Peters, Bill Tighe, Morris Smith, Morris- Wolfe, Ed. Fox, Margaret Walker, Morris Shore, -Stanley' Rob- inson, Arnold Ross. L. s. c. 1. ORACLE FRANK HAMLYN As a shock to many, and a sadness to all who knew him, came the news of Frank Hamlyn's death. ' He came to South Collegiate from Belmont and was in Forms IV B and V A. He planned to try his Honour Matriculation examinations in June, but took sick before they commenced. He had a steadying infiuence to pro- duce a high feeling of Hesprit de corps' in our school. He sang tenor part in the Metro- politan United Church Choir and did so with his accustomed whole-hearted- ness so that he was beloved by all members of the choir. He was an up- right Christian boy and as his reverend cousin said at his funeral: There is no one today better prepared to meet his Maker than was Frank. He has gone to his reward, and has left us here to keep pace with time. All his fellow-class-mates and 'his many other friends outside of the Collegiate appreciate Frank's influence and realize that there is no one to fill his place. We all sympathize very deeply with his family, of whom he was so proud.-WM. M. C. 7 I JACK MacKENZIE On the morning of October 10th, the fellow-messengers and associates of Jack MacKenzie were greatly shocked and deeply grieved to hear of his sud- den death in a motorcycle accident early ' that morning. When he left London South Collegiate, Jack became an employee of the Canadian National Telegraph four years ago as a messenger. He was well liked by his co- workers and all customers with Whom he came in contact, as he generally had a smile and a Word for everyone. ' We all miss him here and cannot express in words our sympathy. for his family where his loss is most -keenly felt. -DONNA GRACEY.
