DECEMBER 6, 1955 GGNGEIIT A GIIEAT SUCCESS OUR ORCHESTRA AND AS- ' SISTING ARTISTS DELIGHT LARGE AUDIENCE An entertainment to which music lovers had been looking forward with great interest and expectations took place on Fri- day evening, December lst. It was the concert given by Mr. Byles and his orchestra. For this occasion they were happy to have with them two ex-mem- bers of the orchestra, Howard Dicks and Jack Crone. Graci- ously assisting with the pro- gram were Miss Beth Atcheson, Miss Betty Holmes, Miss Frances Glazier and Mr. Billie Bending, all graduates of South, who were enthusiastically wel- comed by the audience which filled the auditorium. The orchestra was arranged in a semi-circle amid fiowers and palms which made the stage a most effective setting. After the playing of O Can- ada, the orchestra offered us a beautiful arrangement of the selections from one of Sigmund Romberg's loveliest and most popular operettas, The Desert Song. Miss Beth Atcheson delighted her audience with her account of the Twelve Young Gideons, in which humour and pathos were charmingly blended. For an encore she told us what happened When Pa Put the Ashes Out.

At 6.30 p.m., the two 1933 squads, several gridders of former years, and a few outside guests, number- ing about seventy in all, sat down to a bountiful and Well prepared meal. The heavy workout on the turkey was en- joyed by everyone. After supper, Mr. Dinsmore, acting as chairman, first called on Mr. Freeman, coach of the highly successful Juniors, for a speech. Then Mr. Anderson, Mr. McHale and Mr. Graham, the special guests, were each asked to say a few words to the boys. Douglas Parnell, popular cap- tain of the Juniors,was heartily welcomed back and replied to the great ovation given him. He finished by presenting a gift to Mr. Freeman from the squad in appreciation of his efforts. l Neil Love, Senior's captain, followed this example by giving on behalf of the squad, a gift to Mr. Dinsmore, in token of their esteem. Both coaches replied to these presentations. Each thanked the boys for their co-operation Gontinued on page 4, col. 2 PRESENTATIUNS MADE THIS MORNING IN AUDITGIIIUM BOB CALVERT RECEIVES LEATHER-BOUND CIRCU- LATION NOTE-BOOK Mr. Allin Presented with Gift by Editorial Staff ' , BOB CALVERT . This year has seen more com- petition than ever before in connection with the Oracle sales. With such an incentive before us, it's no wonder we 'were all s urred on to selling P , them. But everyone couldnt win the prize. This morning we Were Very happy to be able to present this beautiful note-book to Bob Calvert, the deserving winner. J-ust to mention the fact that Bob sold 100 Oracles leaves us all gasping, and we wonder if anyone else in his locality sold P in :Q . t . any at all. I think Bob de- serves great credit for the time and effort which he must have spent. Next year, when the Oracle is published, we hope that he will again top the list. CONGRATULATIONS, BOB! l.l.lliT- MR. ALLIN The editorial staff of this year's Oracle has certainly appreciated the untiring efforts of our Advisory Editor, Mr. Allin, and We all felt that We would like to show him just how grateful we were for his time and valuable advice. So, this morning we asked him to accept a small gift to show our appreciation. Any member of the stai will tell you how willing he was to give us assistance at any time, and we all thank him very much. . -B. D., VB. SO TH CGLLEGIATE ousis TEAM LONDON SOUTH IUNIORS T0 MEET ST. TNUMAS IN FINALS TO PLAY A SUDDEN-DEATH GAME AT LITTLE STADIUM OF WESTERN UNIVERSITY SATURDAY, DEC. 9 1fTin1e 2.15 p.m. Price 15c. and 250. Kitchener plays wide-open rugby but fail to wipe out the previous 9-point lead com- pletely. The teams lined up as follows: London-Right outside, Cas- pelg right middle, Murrayg right inside, Clelandg snap, Johnsong left inside, Bacong left middle, Dowdellg left out- side, Southcottg flying Wing, Thomas, quarter, Annibaleg halves, Filmore, Kennedy, and Whitey subs, McKenzie, Cruick- shank, Atcheson, Morton, An- derson, Woolley, Haines. Twin City-Right outside, Knarrg right middle, Ludwigg right inside, C. Petersong snap, Klugmang left inside, H. Peter- song left middle, Robertson, left outside, Ennsg flying Wing, Du- martg quarter, Sheardg halves, Seyler, Bolduc and Gancig subs, Martin, Gehl, Ariss, Hall, Bean, Couch and Kennedy. First Quarter South took the kick-off. On the first play a K.-W. man took the ball around the right side of the South line for a gain of 35 yards. K.-W. now made successive gains to place them within twenty yards of the South line. Bolduc of K.-W. kicked for a point. Fil- more, on trying to bring it out, was downed within his own line. K.-W.,1, South 0. South now took the ball and on first down kicked to the K.-W. team. The kick was returned, after three plays, South lost the ball to Kitchener and Kitchener, being only 40 yards out, tried for a field goalg the kick was short. The play for the rest of the period remained at the South end, but K.-W. could not score over that strong red line, and the score remained K.-W. 1, South 0. Second Quarter South came back at the K.-W. team with a vengeance and drove deep into the enemy's territory by virtue of a long run by Buck Mason, but the K.-W. line held and no score could be made. London is now thrown for a 10-yard loss on the first two downs of the quar- ter, but they got it back with interest when the K.-W. backs V -.....-...pJ...- . ..- . X played up too far, and Kennedy booted far over their heads and ended up a scant thirty yards from the K.-W. goal line. K.-W. started to work the ball back, but were rewarded for their efforts by the sudden breaking away of White, for a 40-yard run to carry the ball back to K.-W.'s 40-yard line. The next kick was broken up by K.-W., and Thomas recovered, running it right up to the K.W. 5-yard line. On the next plays South were unable to break through the K.-W. line, but were suc- cessful in kicking for a point. From this period of the play till half time, the play re- mained close to centre. Ken- nedy broke up a real K.-W. threat by spearing a long K.-W. forward on the Kitchener 40- yard line. The score: K.-W. 1, South 1. Third Quarter K.-W. carried the ball right down into South territory click- ing off yards four times 'in a row, but the Scarlet line held and K.-W. lost the ball to London on the latter's 5-yard line. After South kicked, Kit- chener again advanced danger- ously close to London's goal line. South recovered a fumble to foil the K.-W. threat once more. A blocked kick, recov- ered by Kitchener and carried over for a touch, marked the first major score of the game. The convert was kicked to com- pletion. K.-W. 7, South 1. A blocked Kitchener kick was now recovered by Dowdell, away down in K.-W. territory, who had an open field With which to score, but slipped in the muddy field. London advanced the ball towards the K.-W. line, continued on page 4, col. 5 CGNGIIATULATIGNS, BEGK !

December S, 1955 EDITORIAL CORRECTIONS We donit like having to confess our mistakes, but this time we couldn't squeeze out of the job. We should like to apologize to the German department for their heading. Did you notice that Deutsch in the heading Lesen sie Deutsch has suddenly acquired an e ? And while we're in the mood for apologizing, we hope George Fleming will forgive us for our spelling of his name. Also, we want to explain that it was Bill Watters who provided the accordian number at the Fifth Year banquet. And last, but by no means least, we wish to express our sincerest apologies to Betty Heaslip and Freddie Haysom for their Jokes department. Only those who Worked around Room 10 know just how very hard both Betty and Fred worked over their department of the ORACLE. And then, to have more than half of their jokes cut, for one reason or another-well, it must have been discouraging, to say ntlhel lzigst. ROOM 10 There are many commodious class-rooms in our school, each with its presiding teacher, but there is one small room into which many of our students never have entered. Perhaps the solid wooden door which atfords its only entrance is foreboding, but in the fall the interior presents a scene of bustling activity. No teacher presides here, but rather our genial Editor-in-Chief directs the operations of his energetic staff. We would hardly be so bold as to say that the room is a model of neatness-untidiness would be the more appropriate word. But there it was that this year's ORACLE had its birthg there was it carefully nurturedg and those who have had a part in this task will long have vivid recollections of the hours spent in Room 10. -R. H. A. ORACLE SALES GO OVER THE TOP Once again the Oracle Circulation Department has more than reached its objective. The number of magazines sold this year exceeds 2,650 and slightly more than 150 copies above the number sold last year. Special note must be made regarding the excellent work of Form IIID with a grand total of 247, and Form VA with 249 copies sold, a class average of 7 and 5 respectively. Bob Calvert the tells me he asked most of the postmenj, still upholding the Calvert name as master salesmen, sold exactly 100 Oracles. Dorothy Hubbell must be commended on selling over 30 Oracles again this year. Considering the scarcity of twenty-five cent pieces that the Oracle Circulation Staff was forced to face this year, it has set a record that future circulation departments will do well to bear in mind. -F. K. SOUTH HULDS IMPRESSIVE REMEMBRANCE DAY SERVICE This year, the Remembrance Day service was held on Friday, Nov. 10th, 1933. The program was one of the finest and most impressive ever held in the school. It served as a very good reminder of the real meaning of Remembrance Day. Again Prof. Floyd Maine, of the University of Western On- tario was the speaker at our service. The real spirit of sacrifice, Prof. Maine said, is still challenged in this genera- tion by the demands that peace makes upon us. Our gift of heroism, courage and noble living is not spectacularg no publicity attends it today, but of the two tasks it is just pos- sible that that of preserving peace with honour may be even harder than that of winning it. The extreme attentiveness of the students showed the deep impression these words created. The student body sang Kip- ling's Recessional, accom- panied by the orchestra. The glorious dead of various coun- tries, such as Canada, Great Britain, Germany, Russia, and Austria, were represented by Don, Fraser, Neil Love, Bill Pace, John Gordon, Bus. Wide- man, and Pat. Black. They appealed to the Voice of History -a part played by Mr. H. G. Wonnacott-to know whether their supreme sacrifice was bringing the reward that they had expected.

SQUAD 16-7 LONDON SOVUTH TAKES LEAD IN W.0.S.S.A. SEMI- FINALS London South Collegiate - London's lone representative left in the football World-met Kitchener-Waterloo Collegiate in the first game of the Junior W.O.S.S.A. semi-finals at Te- cumseh Park on Sat., Nov. 25. The South gridders succeeded in gaining a nine-point lead over Kitchener's undefeated team. Although the visitors were able to take an over- whelming victory of 58-2 over Galt, last year's titleholders, they were unable to secure any advantage over the local boys. The South boys got away to a good start when they re- covered the ball after K.-W. had fumbled in receiving the kick-off on their 25-yard line. South followed up their advan- tage and succeeded in scoring the first point of the game when Kennedy kicked to rouge Couch. Play steadied somewhat until South blocked Bolduc's kick. After a speedy recovery, Mur- ray got over for a touchdown, which was not converted. Ganci, of Kitchener, retali- ated by staging the most sen- sational play of the game when he made a 65-yard run for a touchdown. First quarter: South, 63 Kit- chener-Waterloo, 5. Opening the second quarter, Kennedy kicked to Couch, who fumbled on the one-yard line and Dowdell dribbled it .over the line to get another touch- down for South. Score ll-5. Yards gained by plunging ability on either side, combined with extensive kicking, sent the ball from one end to the other. White, however, was successful in rouging K.-W. for two points, and the score at half-time left South in the lead 13 to 5. The first of the second half saw Kitchener downed on their 10-yard line. Steady plunging, in which Ludwig and Dumart were outstanding, however, finally took the ball to South's 48-yard line and Bolduc hoisted the ball 55 yards for'a point. 13-6. South, failing to gain yards, lost the ball on their 20-yard line. A short kick by Bolduc went in touch, five yards out, but Mason made an outstanding run and netted a gain of 40 yards. Although both teams fought hard, showed fine plunging ability and booted consistently, neither had a decided advan- tage and the score at three- quarters remained 13-6 for the locals. Mason of South was injured during this periodl A fumble by South on their 25-yard line gave the ball to Kitchener and Klugman rouged Kennedy and ended Kitchener's scoring. Score 13-7. A short and bitter struggle saw South at Kitchener's end and Kennedy raised South's score to 14 points by kicking to the deadline. Although Kitchener fought hard to re-establish themselves, they were unable to make a further gain.

Deeeai1iei,'figg..5j5gQ3f 1, CONCERT A GREAT SUCCESS Miss Atcheson was obliged to leave early, so we missed her second reading, which .was deeply regretted, for she is a great favourite on any program. Miss Betty Holmes, well known to Londoners, sang Were My Song With Wings Provided, I Love Life, and, later in the program, Schu- bert's beautiful Serenade, which gave her a excellent opportunity to display the really fine quality of her voice. Dorothy Kidd was her accom- panist. The audience showed their deep appreciation of the orches- tra's interpretation of 'The Pilgrim's Chorus from Tann- hauser, by Wagner, and Schu- bert's stirring Marche Mili- taire, and the delicate beauty of The Wedding of the Winds. Owen Cousins, ou'r own tal- ented pianist, who is an A. T. C. M., played a pianoforte solo, a request number, the exquisite Valse by Moskowskig and Frances Glazierp thrilled her listeners with her brilliant ren- dering of Rigoletto by Verdi- Liszt. Mr. Billie Bending, accom- panied by Miss Kate King, played two violin solos: Cho- pin's Nocturne in E Flat, and B r a h m' s First Hungarian Dance. For an encore, we heard the old favourite Last Rose of Summer. This artist needs no introduction to Lon- don audiences. The grand finale, by the orchestra, was the Overture to Rossinifs opera William Tell. In this number, more than .IH any other, the orchestra dis- played their unusual musical talent. It was a beautiful program. No one at all appreciative of fine music could have failed to 'r'oy intensely every minute of The orchestra's magnificent rk was a revelation to the idience. To Mr. Byles goes ie credit for gathering to- ether, building up, and train- ig an orchestra for which we .ave every right to be-and .re-extremely proud. At the conclusion of the con- cert, the Literary Society served refreshments to the orchestra and the guest artists. Mrs. Carr-Harris was convener of this committee. A great deal of.credit for the success of the concert must go to Mr. W. T. Armstrong, who acted as business manager. JUNIOR AND SBNIORS GUESTS during the season, and Mr. Dinsmore told an amusing story with a moral about his new lighter and the baby. This concluded the banquet and the majority of the boys departed for downtown theatres. Special thanks are in order for Mrs. Freeman, Mrs. Dins- more, Miss Graham and Miss Lewin, who very willingly gave their time and energy that our banquet might be a success. A word of appreciation is also due to Ken. Cameron, the president of Boys' Athletics, who gave his time and efforts unsparingly to make the ban- quet a success. Yea! Cameron! -E. G. Snozzle Clark shows a reversal of form. We, of 5A think that Mr. Urlin should make special effort to get to his room sooner after morning auditorium, be- cause this morning he missed the final ending of a new movie. The stars of the movie, 'KNO Struggle in a Class-room, were J. Gordon and Nora Mac- Ewing. After interviewing the stars, Nora was heard to say that she expected the first kiss to be more romantic. SOUTH OUSTS K.-W. and on the next play Kennedy ran it over for a touch. The convert was completed via a forward pass. K.-W. 7, South 7. London still retains 9-point lead. Final Quarter Kitchener got the breaks early in this period. A fumble by South was recovered by Ganci of Kitchener, who raced over the line for another major score. It was not converted, but K.-W. now lead in the game. K.-W. 12, South 7.'South still retains 4-point lead on the round. On the next play, Kitchener intercepted a London South forward pass on South's 40-yard line. Thomas of South was hurt and replaced by Mor- ton. K.-W. now had the ball at the London end, but were unable to move the sticks. Lon- don canie into possession near mid-field. The play worked back and forward at mid-field until the final gong. The game ended: K.-W., 12, London South 7. -R. W. M., VA. IUNIOR GIRLS' BASKETBALL This year, practically the whole group of first and second year girls having turned out en masse for Basketball, they are being divided into teams and are playing off a schedule in our own school. After this is over, a first and second year team, composed of the best of these girls, will be picked to enter a tournament to take place the 'Tth and Sth of De- cember. The' four secondary schools of London are taking part in this tournament, in which two preliminary games and one final game are to be played in each series. This is to take the place of the former custom of having a schedule of six games which took all fall to complete, and thus left no time for other activities. The winners will be rewarded with a cup which will be held per- manently. This change was made with thehconsenthof--tli9.' .. donors of the cups. ' The first year teams are' coached by Miss, Hilliard, and the second year teams by Miss- ? MacFarlane. Under these capa-at ble coaches we are expecting ,- great results. 1 REMEMBRANCE DAY SERVICE, I died for freedom, this I know, For those that bade me fight They told me so. The Voice of History gave them what satisfaction -he could, but the real joy for these inquiring spirits was the unexpected appearance of The Youth of Today. This part was played by John Kidd. He told them that their sacrifice had not been in vaing that we, The Youth of Today, are bent on peace. . The drama was highly unified by the central lighting thrown on a silver urn in which each of the men in turn placed a . spray of poppies, symbolic of the fact- They gave their -merry youth away , For Country and for God. An atmosphere of quiet sol- emnity pervaded the audience as the rich notes of an organ, played by Barbara Dulmage, were heard through the entire play. Flrom this account you can see how our school commemor- ates a day set aside for the memory of those who have died before us for our sake. -T. F.

THIS ISSUE G - NCE more the London South y Collegiate Oracle comes before the eyes of the reading public, .S to be read. criticized, and liked, we hope! At least that is what we have all been striving for in these last few weeks. From the time of the publication of the first magazine the motto has been. I believe, 'Bigger and better than ever. We will say nothing about the size this year, and we all feel sure that you will grant that it is much better. In these pages may be found the con- tributions of all students, from the am- bitious first-year to the greater UD people of the Upper School. We hope that any who have sent in contributions and do not ind them printed herein will not be at all discouraged, and will try again next year. You know, our space is limited. This year's staff is certainly to be praised for the splendid way in which they have co-operated with one another and worked unceasingly. We want to thank those members of the teaching staff, too, who have so graciously helped us. Espec- ially do we appreciate the work of Mr. Allin, our advisory editor, and Miss McCamus, who have both willingly given us some of their valuable advice. Miss McPherson also gives us great help on our French and German articles. Fancy hand- ing in an article to be printed in either subject Without first having it corrected! Our gym teachers help us in prying out information, too, which otherwise would be unknown. We have a few new features this year. Also, much credit should certainly be given to our art staff and their assistants, who SOUTH C. I. do so much to beautify our magazine. Also, we thank our teachers and parents who have kindly contributed interesting articles to our magazine. And say, how do you like our Sports Edition? It was our newest idea, and we think it a very good one, too. This year we have com- bined all the science under one head, allotted much more space to our short story writers and have begun a Social and Personal column. Then we think you will approve of the fifth-year and rugby pictures taken in groups this year. instead of separate. as they were in the previous year. A school edition should be an expression of the thoughts and ideas of the students. We hope this definition fits our magazine. We've all done our part and the rest is up to the readers. We hope it matches your expectations of us. -B. W. D., V B. ANEAPOLOGY THE ORACLE we cannot hope ll to compete with some present- day magazines, the issues of l l which contain work of a high literary calibre. Yet we must restrict our publications to the best the school can pro- duce, as an incentive to would-be con- tributors. It is a good policy to have a high aim in all things. If we have altered or rejected your contribution, we have done so in an effort to keep the standard of THE ORACLE'S contents well above average. Try again-and try harder! ' -O. C., V A. page seventeen SOME OF OUR li'llS'll OlRY N December 21, 1922. just four t fx A months after London South ,i Collegiate was founded, the first ORACLE was published. The liiterary Executive of that year edited the school paper, which consisted of four pages of newspaper stock, 9 by 12 inches, published three times a year: December, March. and June. John Johnston was Editor-in-chief: Mrs. Carr-Harris and Mr. McNeil. consulting editors. Into those four pages were crammed just all manner of interesting editorials, athletic reports, school news. jokes, and some good photo- graphs. With such a splendid beginning we may easily understand the success ORACLE has known during its short, but brilliant. career. The year 1922-23 saw an advance from four to eight pages. Athletics were fea- tured. and several new departments- book reviews, exchange, le Coin Francais, hobby discussions, special articles, and a short story-were added. That year saw also the first use of a feature which has always been one of ORACLE'S unique char- acteristics-the use of special articles written by outstanding Canadians. Arthur Hill took over the post of Editor-in-chief for the year 1923-24. For the first time there appeared several splendid poems and cartoons. ln 1924-25 the little paper was quite changed. Kenneth McEachern, assisted by Mrs. Carr-Harris, Mr. McNeil and Mr. Jennings. guided the destiny of THE ORACLE. For the first time space was sold to advertisers, enabling an increase from eight to twelve pages to be made. To the departments which had already proved worthwhile were added a poetry section, cartoons, and, mirror of the common fad, a crossword puzzle. During 1925-26 Paul Rechnitzer, Mr. McNeil and Mr. Baird published the paper, which remained comparatively unchanged. Then, in the fall of 1927, appeared the Jubilee Number, to celebrate the 'dfth birthday of THE ORACLE. The school paper now became a separate phase of school activities, and, directed by a staff headed by Jack Holmes and Mr. Jennings, page eighteen THE ORACLE made its first bow as a year book. Into the sixty-four pages Were put all the old favorite departments, with many new additions. In 1928 Miss McCamus accepted the position of Chief Advisory Editor and remained in this advisory capacity for five years. May We thank, from the depths of our hearts, Mrs. Carr-Harris, Mr. McNeil, Mr. Baird, Mr. Jennings, and Miss Mc- Camus, for the inspiration, the leadership, and the hours of sincere work they have given to the cause of our school magazine. This year Mr. Allin has accepted the position of Advisory Editor. We should like to impress our readers with the fact that, had Mr. Allin not accepted this task, there just would not have been any '33 ORACLE. May We thank Mr. Allin for his faith in our magazine, and ask the co- operation of the student body for our new leader. -M. I. K., V A. THE 3lPlllRl'll OF SOUTH - gy- TT is easy enough to be a loyal X I student of oui school when we wk 'T Tv' ' wav' Bibi? are bringing honour to it and J ourselves by playing on the Win ning team or winning oratorical prizes or scholarships. But the real test of a studentgs loyalty to his school-school spirit, if you wish-comes just in the everyday life of the school. During the auditorium exercises there has been more co-operation, more responsiveness on the part of the students shown this year. Although We have heard quite a lot about our conduct on the rugby field, We still think it isn't as bad as Mr. Dinsmore would have us believe. The student body has responded nobly to his call for support of the rugby teams. Just here We would like to mention our cheer leaders who helped so much. This year the girls' party had almost perfect attendance, and every- body voted it the best ever. A great deal of its success was due to the students' co- operating with those in charge. And that same spirit of co-operation and loyalty to our school and the traditions We have been given by former students is in evidence throughout all the school activities, and is carried on into the classroom. -M. I. K., VA. THE ORACLE AND sri THE WAT' E feel that this magazine should not go to press without an expression of appreciation to those responsible for its pub- iate, there have been two wide-awake staffs working on THE ORACLE this year- the editorial staff, which is responsible for the actual magazine material, and the advertising stai, which makes the edition financially possible. The editorial stai comprises twenty-two students, of whom the majority are in fourth or fifth year forms. It is not neces- sary to mention every name here, since that information has been previously given you, but there are some departments which require more work than others. The Art staf, a group of about half a dozen students fa very small number this yearll have created most of the art work in this magazine. This meagre half dozen include Elsie Ford, Mildred Porter, Mar- garet Perkins, Peggy Aitken, Ken Nor- folk and Owen Cousins. The calibre of art work this year is very high and the group is to be congratulated on its efforts. On even terms with it, the name of Nora McEwing is mentioned. Nora has complete charge of photography this year and we are sure you will agree that her efforts were well worth while. Every other member of the staff has done his best, we know. Only space pre- vents me from writing about their accom- plishments also. Our business manager, Ken Jones, who, by the way, has not had any previous experience on business staffs, has broken all former records in securing ads, a record which was established back in the booming days of prosperity in 1929. This year, however, the staff, inspired by Ken's leadership and Mr. Urlin's valuable guid- ance, has brought in an excess of S4000 to date-an enviable record for future business staffs to aim at! While mentioning finance, one could not possibly omit the names of Mr. J. F. Cal- vert and Frank Kunz, to whom goes the credit for our high circulation. Last year, these two worked together also, and by SOUTH C. I. their untiring efforts produced a list of 2,750 copies sold. There is little doubt that a higher number will be secured this year. - Then, finally, but certainly not the least, another staff comes into the limelight for THE ORACLE,-our own teaching staff, the various members of which have given us valuable advice on any section in which they may have been interested. A few more names are mentioned here in this connection. Miss Macpherson has done a great deal for the French sec- tion under the heading Quebec this year. She also supplied the excellent cuts. And just to be different, I'll end up with the most important names. To Miss McCamus and Mr. Allin goes the credit of supervising our efforts this year. Our success or failure, we leave to your opinion. -O. C.. V A. THANK YOU l FM VFQYONE in the s hool thi G l staff undei Ken Jones guidinf g hand did a wonderful Job and so it did. The editorial staff began to feel very confident that the magazine was going to be a financial success when they saw the advertisements increasing. The extra incentive of a beautifully bound leather loose-leaf note-book, to be given to the person on the advertising staff who secured the greatest amount of space, was a great help in spurring the staff on to more effort than ever before. This book was donated by Miss Margaret Dennis, and to her we make grateful acknowledgment, both for this very worth-while prize and for the added incentive which it gave to our adver- tising staff. Also, the circulation depart- ment of THE ORACLE extends to Miss Margaret Dennis an equally grateful appreciation for the leather-bound loose- leaf note-book which she donated to the person who sold the greatest number of ORACLES. This kind presentation certainly added competition and zeal to THE ORACLE drive, for any one would be very proud to own such a note-book. .. -NORA MCEWING, V A. fs if s .A Qc ' s year felt that the advertising L - -' ' ' E , bi, is , .. .

The publication of THE ORACLE is partly due to their advertisements, and so we sincerely appreciate their support. We should also like to thank Margaret Dennis, who very kindly donated a leather notebook for the person who brought in the highest amount of advertising. It was won by Betty Heaslip, who Secured seventy-eight dollars' worth of business. This year the Business Stai has re- ceived more advertisements than in any other year in the history of THE ORACLE, and so much of the credit for the success of THE ORACLE is due them. We hope that next year's staff will meet with the same success. Dora Dicks Betty Heaslip Anne Gordon Jeanne Murray Creena Wallace Eleanor Speiran Eileen Knowles Irene Hunt Nancy Santo .aaa RR?

THE GOLDEN LADDER I stepped from a shadow into the sun's clear beanzs, And suddenly I thought: this is a pattern of life, An ideal to follow-always to face toward the light, Always to seek the sun, though we fear that its bright, Pure rays are too strong for unaccns- tonzed eyesg Yet, braring its fire, 'we rise above doubt and strife, And touch with our hands, heights we now see but in dreafnis.

VA f F T EQ HE Short Story group has been 3 fortunate indeed, this year, in having as a judge of its con- fess' AEM tributions Mrs. J. W. Thor- burn. Mrs. Thorburn is a writer of experience, and under the name of Amy Campbell became known to hundreds of readers in her stories and, perhaps to an even greater extent, in her verses. That the judges decision in the matter of short stories was eagerly awaited, then, goes without saying, but the group concerned was scarcely prepared for the delightful way in which this decision was announced. Over an informal cup of tea, Mrs. Thor- burn discussed each story in detail, show- ing an amazing appreciation of each writers problems and difficulties. She was most generous in her praise, and in several instances urged the writer to send his story to a publisher. One incident in connection with the choice of the winning story is of interest. After selecting the three best stories, in her opinion, Mrs. Thorburn, giving no hint of the decision, submitted the entire collection to a friend, Mrs. Ecole, of St. Thomas, herself a well-known writer of verses and stories. To the great delight of the judge, Mrs. Ecc1e's decision was identical with her own. Having thus been doubly assured, Mrs. Thorburn enthusi- asticaliy announced her selection of win- ners to the Short Story group. lt is difficult to express our appreciation of Mrs. Thorburn's interest. Her practi- cal advise was of the greatest assistance and her enthusiasm, together with her gracious words, will not be forgotten by those to whom these words were indeed an inspiration. -M. C.-H. page twenty-Iwo Thanks to the generosity of Mrs. John Rose, there has been a very real competi- tion in connection with the award for the prize short story. This department of THE ORACLE wishes to express its very deep appreciation of the interest shown by Mrs. Rose. A SKY SCRAPER By LLOYD STEVENSON, III D. 5 AST and white against the MTU! ia' smoke and squalor of the city rose the awesome shaft of steel and stone, straight and mighty and grandly aloof. At its base scurried a race of pygmies, but its spire pierced through the clouds and looked far out to the level fields beyond. Towering and majestic, it dreamed above the unrest of the great city, and sentinelled the comings and goings of a million men and women. So it appeared from an upper window of a tall building near by. But viewed from the cockpit of an aeroplane, fifteen hundred feet above the earth, it seemed entirely different. Gone was the illusion of vastness and grandeur, gone the feeling of awe. The great sky-scraper, that had looked so colossal when one stood close by, now appeared to be nothing more than a splotch of white on the outstretched map below. It called forth no respect, enkindled no admiration, inspired no awe. It was just another buildingz' brick and steel and stone. That was all. THE ORACLE THE LOAN By ALEX. MCLEAN, IV C KRa.1zked first in Short Story Contestj LD JOE MCGUIRE set the tin l pail down outside the door and l wiped his feet sadly. It's no l use, Martha, he muttered as he came in the door. Jackson up at the bank told me that I couldn't get that loan. He said I didn't have enough security. The old man sighed heavily and sat down in the creaky rocker by the window. Don't you worry, Joe, Martha re- assured him, Providence always has helped us and I think we'll manage some way. Well, I'm not fretting against Provi- dence, said Joe, but I don't see how there can be anything done this time. Three hours later Old Joe carried the milk from the barn and was opening the door, when a long, black touring car swung to a stop before the porch. Listen, neighbor, could you spare me a gallon or so of gas? asked the dark and dapper little man at the wheel. To be sure, said Joe. He picked up the tin pail on the porch, which he had brought from town. I just got a couple of gallons this afternoon, and he readily poured the fluid into the tank of the big car. I'll be in town again tomorrow and you're welcome. The heavy car roared away toward the town. Listen, Luigi, said the little driver, are you sure this gas'll last out?,' Oh, quit your worrying, growled the driver. Sure it'll do. And next time you make sure there's a tankful before you start for one of these backwoods places. The town was dark when the car stopped before the bank. 'Take it easy, said Bill. I'll get the soup out of the keister while you open the place. Luigi paused momentarily before the door. Then it swung open and the two men entered. For the next twenty minutes there was no sound but the oiled whir of a keen bit biting into the tempered steel of the old bank vault. SOUTH C. I. Okay, shoot! Luigi quickly covered the cracks of the door with a brown soap and then, from a tiny bottle which he held cautiously in a felt pad, poured a greasy liquid into the drilled hole. Take a look out front, he muttered. Bill peered carefully out the window. Okay, blow it! A match flared. The two men crouched behind a steel filing cabinet. There was a dull roar and the vault door toppled back- ward in one little surprised hop, and lay flat on the floor. Never mind the bags-probably all coppersf' growled Bill. The two men scooped empty the cash drawers and raced to the curb. The starter of the big car whined. Again the starter made the little, choking murmur, but the big engine made no response. With impatience Bill shoved his com- panion from the wheel. Here come the cops, he yelled. Get out of here, you-,U and his foot found the starter as the words flowed on. Next day Luigi's body lay crumpled on a marble slab in the coroner's office of the nearest city, his blood-reddened hands clutched over his heart. Bill, in defiant hate, slumped against the back of the chair across from the detective-inspector. Well, you caught us cold,' 'he spat, Hbut you wouldn't have come near us if that triple-starred car hadn't quit. I was going to tell you about that, Bill, smiled the detective. You remem- bered where you stopped to get the gas? You mean that old man I gave the fake half dollar to? Yes, replied the detective. He was in this morning. It seems he is a little careless and last night when he went to give you the gas he picked up the coal-oil can. The coal-oil burned all right while your engine was hot, but when you stopped,-well, you stopped right over for court today. .

' - WEN if y' are takin' Celia out, l Frank, ya can't wear my tie, ya big hunk a baloneylv The afore-mentioned portion of ground meat removed his brother's neck- tie from the proximity of his Adam's apple, substituted one of his own, and strode from the house in a discreet and manly silence which was. however, largely induced by that most unromantic of afliictions-a cold in the head. As Frank swung along the street his line of thought was singularly monoto- nous: Am I really Celia's boy-friend, or aren't I? Am I or aren't I? he demanded of himself at frequent intervals. Pre- viouslyhe had thought of various expe- dients for ascertaining this most weighty problem, such as consulting daisies and The Heart-Throb Column in the local newspaper. Now. these paled before a new and particularly daring scheme-he would ask Celia herself. Rehearsals were begun immediately, and occasionally an unimpressed telephone pole was apostro- phized, Do you know, Celia, weive gone to two shows and three rugby .... and, You do rather like .... These results were so remarkably unimpressive and un- romantic that Frank, plunging into the depths of dark despair, gave up. But here was his lady's sacred abode. To give himself the necessary savoir faire as he approached he jingled impor- tantly the two quarters that were to take Celia and him to the theatre. The woman in the case was seated on the front steps engaged in the delightfully domestic pas- time of shelling peas. Heddo, Cedia, he began. Curse it! He had forgotten his cold was that bad. She looked up, surprised. Oh, I'm awfully sorry, Frank. but I can't go to the show tonight. You see, Mother and Daddvve gone to the station to meet Aunt Elizabeth, and I've got to be home when she comes. It's too bad I couldnit have let you know and saved you walking over here. page twenty-four Thad's too bad, Cedia, I'b awfuddy sorry, quoth our hero. What else was there to say? He shifted his number twelve's thoughtfully as the moments flew by in a practically golden silence. At length Celia burst out, Oh, there are those awful birds again. Indeed, there were some birds-whole flocks of noisy grackles and starlings with the apparent intention of spending the night. Very evidently, however, the neighbours were not of the same opinion. Doors were slammed in violent succession, a wash tub was kicked resonantly, blank cartridges were fired, and shrill whistles were emitted. The birds received these more or less friendly overtures with complete sophistication-a surprised murmur, a polite flutter, and that was all. . 1 xiii ggi- ' I 'L' 1 E M 29417 s as 5. - S 1' fume.

It began when Eve met the curly-headed , gl Adonis in the cottage with the striped shutters. With the exception of the love-stricken Eve, they all bitterly regretted having come to Silver Beach for the summer. 'Oh. Mumsf, Eve glanced anxiously along the beach, I do believe the peroxide blonde is trying to vamp him. Eve! her mother protested, I cannot allow you to call Sally a peroxide blonde, even if she is trying to vamp your new flame.

Yeah, she has fallen for a walking collar-ad, by the name of Alfred Telfer, Roy, Eve's older brother, said disgustedly.

Anyone can make a mistake. Alfred is all right, Billy, the youngest of the family, put in with an impish grin. He is a bit knock-kneed, but nobody is perfect. Mother, Eve stormed, please speak to the boys. Don't let them talk like that. Mrs. Harrison gave the boys a long look, and they took the canoe paddles and went out grinning broadly. Mr. Harrison had returned to his paper and Eve was free to rave on, sure of one sympathetic listener. ' Should I wear my new pink dress to the dance tonight? she asked a little SOUTH C. I. anxiously. I look more grown up in it. But I don't want you to look grown up, Mrs. Harrison objected. After all, you are only seventeen, and you look so sweet in your little white dress. lx X.'X X.

Quite an old man, her mother mur- mured. Then, perhaps because she remem- bered her own iirst love, she consented to the wearing of the disputed pink crepe dress. When Eve was dressed and waiting for her escort that evening, she turned a pair of pleading brown eyes on her father. Daddy, will you please sleep inside to- night? she begged.

NOTICED in the paper last evening that a young man had 1 ii, been arrested and tried for rob- xifijj' H - bery. The judge and jury were amaied when he pleaded guilty, for he came of a respectable family, and could not possibly have needed the money. He was asked why he had stooped to such a crime. His reply was, I was bored and wanted a thrill. Boredom is now a universal affliction of civilized people. No one is too rich or too poor to have fits of this distressing con- dition. It stops at no international boun- dary and rears its unwanted head even at places thronged by seekers of pleasure. What makes us bored? Is boredom a disease? Is it a sign of weakness of the mind? Or is it merely an unavoidable state of mind? As a student of history, my answer would be that boredom shows a weakness of mind. Can you imagine Themistocles going about robbing a poor Athenian trader merely because he could iind no other amusement? Oh, no. That crafty ancient was always too busy tricking his fellow Greeks into winning a battle for themselves or cooking up a scheme to hdouble-cross the Spartans until Athens had her walls rebuilt. Or try to conceive of Julius Caesar as being bored. His active brain was always taking advantage of every little morsel of luck the Goddess of Fortune threw to him, leaving him no time for boredom. Or, to take a more modern great man, can you conceive of Napoleon as bored? His plans for conquering the world left him no time for such a thing as boredom. So, from history, I would be forced to conclude that boredom is merely a sign of a weak mind. But how often I have felt bored myself! My personal experi- ence makes me dubious about the conclu- sion drawn from history. For instance, I put off the writing of this essay because I am always terribly bored when begin- ning a composition. I make innumerable false starts, change from topic to topic, and, when I finally do get started, I usually write a poor essay. page twenty-six Thus, though the learning of the ages C?J whispers to me that there is no reason for me to ever be bored, the flesh is Weak, so to speak, and I feel slightly bored right now. This essay began With an anecdote about a bored young man. I will try to end it on the same theme because that is, I have heard, a good thing to do. What happened to the youth? He was sent to the penitentiary, and he Wasn't bored while there-he Worked too hard for that.

THE ORACLE THE Cll1llllLDRlELN9S ltlOlUR By MARGARET KIRK, V A.- OBBY stood in front of the if 4, radio, trying very hard to swallow a queer, choky lump in , A T f' T his throat and blinking his eye- lids very fast to keep the tears from brimming over. He clenched his fists and threw up his head. Men of the advanced age of eight years never cry. He'd learned that at the orphanage, where anything of that nature was dubbed sniHling, and the offender a baby. The orphanage! Just that afternoon he had left it forever and had come to live with his new parents, the Bensons, in 'their lovely apartment. For two weeks it was to be their homeg then they would go to Mexico, where Daddy Benson worked. . Ordinarily he would have loved to listen to the radio. Back at the Orphanage he had been the leader of an improvised orchestra. Betty had been the artist who danced and sang. Sometimes they had pretended to broadcast their programmes. He had often wondered what an orchestra -a real one-sounded like over the radio. Now he had the chance, but he wasn't a bit interested. Somebody's orchestra from somewhere played on, unheeded by small Bobby as he walked to the other end of the room and disconsolately watched the cars in the street below. And Betty-there lay the whole trouble. When you are about to lose your only sister you are not interested in orchestras and radios. It had been rather awful when the French lady had taken Betty along with her on her vacation, to be her com- panion, and to help Betty with her music. But always there had been the comfort that in the fall she would be back, and he would be there to welcome her. Then Mother and Daddy Benson had come and had wanted to adopt Betty and Bobby. But Betty and her guardian could not be located. He could still hear Matron's casually regretful words as she and mother and daddy had discussed the problem that afternoon. So sorry l she had said. We just can't seem to get in touch with Betty and her guardian. They are travelling, you know. SOUTH C. I. If we do hear anything before you leave. we shall let you knowf' But in two weeks. perhaps any day now. the call would come, and they would have to go. Betty would come back to the orphanage, but Bobby would be in Mexico. He just couldn't stand it. Perhaps he could do something himself. If only he could remember that French ladyis name. St. . . St. . . it wasn't St. Nicholas was it? But no. Why couldnit people have sensible names which a small boy might remember. Then from the other end of the room he heard the station announcer's voice: Now we have the children's hour. To- day we have a special treat. After the story, a little guest-artist is going to sing two songs for you. Bobby punched a pillow. How he hated smug radio announcers, who always sound- ed so happy. Children's hours were not meant for the likes of him or Betty. From the despised instrument there sounded the opening notes of a song he had known and loved at the orphanage. He whirled about. Betty had often sung that song, and always she had whistled the chorus. Out upon the absolute stillness of the room, high, clear, joyous as that of a bird. floated a childish voice. There just wasn't any other voice like it. It must be Betty. Breathlessly he listened to the verse. A pause-then a lilting whistle. It was Betty! Mother! Mother! come quick. lts Betty . . . singing over the radio I The astonished woman was dragged into the living room, where she heard the clos- ing verse of the song to the accompaniment of a joyous war-dance from Bobby. Into the midst of this confusion came Mr. Benson. Daddy! Daddy! here she is. Don't you hear her? Oh, can't we get her? Bobby rushed up shouting. Bobby didn't listen to the low-voiced con- versation between Mr. and Mrs. Benson. Ktemz. to page 92,1 page twenty-seven THE EFFECT UF MTlelliE PURPLE EYlElL.ASll-ily' By BETTY LEE, III B.

A scream rang through the crowded room. and suddenly- Oh. hang the duchess! With these words, a dishevelled and perspiring young man angrily Hung the beginning of the last chapter of The Purple Eyelash into the wastebasket. Then, grabbing his coat, he went out to seek the peace and quiet of the great outdoors. He was young, just about eighteen, with dark hair and blue eyes. He was a great reader of paper-backed novels, thinking and speaking like the heroes in the same. Looking around as he strode manfully on. his eye gfanced upward, and, to his consternation, he perceived a lily- white hand waving frantically from an upper window, while a pair of appealing eye: gazed hopelessly down. The young man. who could never leave anyone or anything in distress, dashed heroically into the building where the lovely lady was imprisoned. Down the halls he ran. the centre of all eyes. Up the stairs he scrambled, fall- ing over the house dog, pushing past everyone he met. On and on he went until he hnally reached the room from which he thought the appeal for help had come. A middle-aged man sat in the room, Quietly enjoying his afternoon glass. and reading with frown. chuckles, and fre- quent grunts, the latest political news. At the sudden and bounding entrance of the young man he dropped his glass, and, opening his mouth, forgot to close it. Seeing his mistake, the young man sprang backwards through the door and onward, in search of the appealing and tragic eyes. Back in the room, the middle-aged gentleman, suddenly remembering the ulnclosed state of his mouth, shut it cau- t10llSl5'- and swore never to touch intoxi- cating drinks again. Meanwhile our hero pressed on, fol- lowed by a curious crowd who were under Page twenty-eight the impression that he was not mentally sound. Into another room and out again he barged with startling rapidity, the door slamming viciously behind him. Breathing a hasty prayer, he plunged into another room. Ah! he breathed. There in front of him was the one whom he sought, still leaning from the window. Grasping her gallantly round the middle he pulled her in. bumping her head. but feeling never- theless the cause was just. Dofling his hat, he bowed. Madam, your servant. The lady did not seem to appreciat.e his gallantry, for she turned on him with an expression which was far from mild. What,s the great idea, big boy, she demanded. Can't a lady wave good-bye to her husband without a crowd col- lCcting? With these words she propelled him rapidlv to the door, slamming it fiercely behind him. The young man walked dis- censolately away, but, remembering some- thing. he hurried back and knocked sharply on the door. Madam, he said when she opened it, I made a very sad and most regrettable mistake. and I offer you my most sincere and humble apologies. Clapping his hat on his head firmly, he strode off, swinging his father's cane iauntily. That evening after consuming a hearty meal. he again sat down at his desk, and. drawing a sheet of paper towards him, he began to write rapidly. Fish and chips, said the duchess, who had hitherto taken no part in the conver- sation, is my favorite dish. A scream ran through the crowded room, and suddenly ....

THE ORACLE PETS By ELLEN MCKAY, IV A. fit- HERE could be no more appro- I 't l'Wi, . . . , priate time, it seems to me, to K be required to write my con- victions on pets than at the present, when I am in deep mourning over the loss of my pet kitten. My experience with pets has been a very bitter one, for I have lost three kittens in the last year. Nevertheless, I still retain my fondness for them. What is more homey on a winter's night than a nice sleek cat purring by the fire, or a dog watching your every move- ment from his station beside your chairg or even a canary singing in his cage, as he hops nimbly from side to side and peers out at you with his beady eyes? Their presence adds to a home an air of contentment which is lacking without them. Pets supply us with a certain amount of pleasure, too. Who has not been amused by the clumsy antics of a puppy or kitten? Anyone who can derive no amusement from such a performance is indeed dull. And what satisfaction and enjoyment the faithful attention of a pet gives us! To know that our pets will do things at our bidding that they will do for no one else, seems to give us great pleasure. There is, therefore, no doubt that pets do give us scme enjoyment. Of course, there are those who always look on the dark side of the question, and say that pets are not worth their trouble. Although it must be admitted that a lover of pets must overlook a great deal of trouble, still this accusation can hardly be justified. Dogs and cats do seem to be always barking or meowing to get out of the house when they are in, and making a fuss to get in when they are out, but this is simply one way in which they are like us poor humans. We, too, always want the opposite to what we have. Then, when we are in a great hurry, our pets immediately begin to howl with starva- tion. They are under our feet wherever we go, and we usually end up by stepping on them. In spite of our hurry, we imme- diately stop and feed them, being careful to give an extra helping to pay for SOUTH C. I. damages. Yes! there are some disadvan- tages in having pets. but anything worth- while costs something. There is one objection to pets which I am sure you have often heard, for it is an old argument. Oh, yes. pets are all right. but one becomes so attached to them that when they are killed or lost. one feels so badly. In spite of my own bitter experi- ence along this line, I can still say with Tennyson, 'Tis better to have loved and 'X Agia.--,xg ff' HQ? ,Q gllflv Wlwlvl A ' 5 v A 1. air - fail, YL- x..lI Q-.I lost. than never to have loved at al. Probably an apology is due to that gentle- man, since his most stirring thought was not written with regards to pets. but it seems to me to be very appropriate and very true, even in the case of pets. Well! After all has been said and done, and the experience of my lifetime with pets has been seriously thought over. I still maintain that pets are more to be afloreil than abhorred. and if someone were to offer me a pet tomorrow. I do believe I would accept his offer.

Usually a heavy increase in attendance is accom- panied by a lower average of academic achievement, but this, fortunately, was not the situation in this case. Not only was the record of papers passed at a high level, but the number of first class honours showed a remarkable increase over that of previous years. Among the large num- ber of successful students, several were awarded scholarships by the University of Western Ontario on the results of the 1933 Honour Matriculation examinations. The General Proficiency Scholarship for highest standing in English, History, Mathematics, Latin and one other lan- guage, of a value of 350000, was awarded to Norman Farrow. He also ranked first for the General Proficiency Scholarship in English, History, Mathematics, one Science and one Language. As well as ranking first for these two of the three General Proficiency Scholarships, Norman ranked first for three other scholarships of smaller value. His final record of ten first and one second class honours in quite in keeping with his yearly record during his whole five years in the Collegiate Institute. The scholarship for highest standing in Biology, Algebra, Geometry and two other papers, of a value of 325000, was award- ed to Paul Croly. He also was awarded a Leonard Foundation Scholarship of a value of 312500. The scholarship for highest standing in French, of a value of 312500, was awarded to Harold White. A Special Tuition Scholarship, entitling the Winner to two years' free tuition, of a value of 320000, found Clarence Cole- man and Gordon Matheson tied for standing. To these scholarship winners and also to several others who, as undergraduates, won University of Western Ontario Scholarships this year, we Wish to express our heartiest congratulations and fondest hopes that they may continue to bring honour to themselves and credit to their Collegiate Institute. Mr. Thomas E. Wilson of Chicago, an old London boy, and graduate of the Ontario Agricultural College, oiered three scholarships, each of a value of 330000, to be awarded each year to students graduating from the London Col- legiate Institutes and desiring to enter the O. A. C. at Guelph. Howard Phillips was awarded one of these scholarships for 1933, and has now joined the three others at that institution who have won these scholarships in the last two years, namely, Frank Love, John McKay and Lloyd Doan. The first Carter Scholarship for Mid- dlesex County, of a value of 310000 cash, for highest standing in the county on ten papers of Upper School work was award- ed to Norman Farrow of the London South Collegiate Institute. We wish most sincerely to congratulate Norman on this further recognition of his excellent stand- ing in Upper School, and hope that abun- dant success may attend his efforts dur- ing his University course. page thirty THE ORACLE MEDALS Back Row-M.

SCHOOL NIEIWS JJ JND don't we love it, the social part of our school life, as well as the inside dope. When I say gg j v j dope, I mean good jokes that only a few know about each other. This year. THE ORACLE has featured school news and short stories. As a matter of fact. there is no limit to school news. It includes anything and everything, so don't be surprised or puzzled at anything you may find in the following pages. Whatever it is. it's original and has been done by the students. As you read through the pages, no doubt you will perceive, in many cases, that school spirit and loyalty have been especially stressed. This is not for reading matter nor bluff, but it comes natural to everyone, as well as those who contribute articles. An under-current of pride, and perhaps affection, has come to the surface here and there, and we in the school know it is sincere and would like to shout it to the world. In school news we have tried to give you a summary of our social life and school fun and the talent of a few of our students. Even a small place has been reserved for gossip and scandal of a few who will be mostly affected by it. In this section, any- one is allowed to express their opinion on school matters and such, to a certain degree. We, the editors, have enjoyed our work, and truly hope you will be interested and receive some of the spirit put into it. -DORIS BLACKALL, V A. I... S. C. fl. ORATORY Once more South students excelled themselves in the realm of public speak- ing. Each year the students of the various forms are given an opportunity to demon- strate their ability in Oratory, and this year the competition was exceptionally keen. These contests offer a very benefi- cial training to the students, and in this way help in producing respectable and worthwhile citizens. After preliminaries had been held, two contestants were chosen from each :lec- tion. In the Junior Girls' contest Frances Winters spoke on The Marvellous Story of Hydro, and Jessie Williams chose as her subject. Pioneer Life in London. Both these girls were in first year and are to be congratulated on their splendid achievement. In the Senior Girls' contest, Ruth Dona- hue had as her subject What Shall I Read ? while Dorothy Cameron gave an interesting account of The National Playground. In the Junior Girls' division Frances Winters was awarded the Wortley Road Mothers' Club medal, and Ruth Donahue was presented with Dr. A. E. Santo's medal in the Senior Girls' division. In the Junior Boys' contest Roy Deven- page thirty-four ish presented the subject, What Is Suc- cess? while Gordon Jeffery discussed the question, What Shall I Read? In the Senior Boys' contest, Osborne Littleford had as his subject, Our Debt to Ancient Greece, while John Kidd chose as his, The Preservation of Our Forests. The Tecumseh School Mothers' Club presented their medal to Gordon Jeffery, and in the Senior Boys' contest, John Kidd was presented with Wendell Holmes' medal. It has been the custom of the school that the winners in the contest of the pre- vious year may challenge winners of the following year's contest, and this year two of last year's winners made use of this privilege. Jean Axford, Senior Girl win- ner of 1932, having as her subject, Galileo, challenged Ruth Donahue, who was successful in retaining her title. Wilfred Dicks, winner in Junior Boys' contest last year, who had as his subject, The Heavens Filled with Commerce, was successful again this year. All these speakers spoke in an admir- able manner and deserve the whole- hearted support and congratulations of the school. -EVELINA THOMPSON, V A. THE ORACLE EYES AND EARS OF SOUTH We learn from a reliable source that Mr. Calvert is organizing a clam-racing club. To become a member it will be necessary to supply your own clams. It is stated that the course will be a given number of turns around a large fish bowl on Mr. Calvert's desk. Clams which attempt to take short cuts across the bowl will be disqualified. Racers will be per- mitted to encourage their clams in any Way they please. However, the infiiction of pain to the rear end of a clam, unlike sim- ilar treatment to other animals, causes an instantaneous and aggravating cessation of movement, which may continue for hours, during which time the animal rivals may cover several inches, thereby giving the poor creature a really discouraging handicap. An alarm clock has been offered to the officials for timing the specimen. The chief difficulty to be overcome in this great venture is that no one has yet offered to wind the clock during the race. The purchase of an eight-day clock, how- ever, may overcome this. :li Pk PF Mr. Armstrong recently promised dire penalties to anyone caught chewing gum in his classrooms. We would suggest that the honored Mr. Armstrong place a waste basket under each desk for the convenience of students. Mr. McNeil, on the contrary, has never been known to discourage the practive. It has been suggested that he holds shares in the Wrigley Company. A budding genius recently presented Mr. Ireland with a fiorence flask containing a blown-up balloon. Determined not to be outdone, this gentleman burst eleven balloons, one after the other, trying to push them into one fa fiorence flask while blown upj. His inventive genius finally came to the rescue, and he placed a tea- spoonful of baking powder and a little water in a balloon, corked it, and pushed it into the flask before it had time to blow up. Unfortunately the quantity of baking powder was more than sufficient and the cork flew out, wounding the august gentle- man in two places feye and feelingsj. SOUTH C. I. SENllOR AT HOMIELN It seems each year that the f'At Home is better, and last year the At Home held on Friday, February the fourth, was cer- tainly no exception. It was the best yet. The programme, which began at eight- thirty in the auditorium, was most enjoy- able. Among the numbers was a dance by Netta Morrison to start things, followed by a humorous skit put on by a few of the boys, Shot at Sundown. Bill Hartry favored us with a selection on his clarinet, and last but not least, a more serious play was presented, The Favour of Lady Leonefi starring Libby Pegg and very ably directed by Mrs. Carr-Harris. After this part of the programme we adjourned to the gym. which was decorated in metallic gold and midnight blue and transformed into a magnificent ballroom. As we entered we could scarcely remember it as the bare, bleak room where we play basketball, swing on rings and do stunts. In the gymnasium, all the girls received as favours a box of Hunt's chocolates. The St. Thomas Royal Collegians furnished grand music and we had numerous novelty dances. It was a great evening. All were dressed in their best, their faces beaming with joy, and before they left they silently, if not loudly, voted the At Home a huge success. We must not forget those behind the scenes who worked for weeks to put this over. Those in charge were: Mr. Arm- strong, convener, and his committee. Frank Kunz, Bus Wideman, Bill Hartry, Marny Pegg, Lucille Morrison, Keith Coates, Orian Orchard and Nora McEwing. -PEGGY ELLWOOD, IH D. fi Z . A . 6' ,nf ' . .

The crowd, in fact, consisted of three important-looking gentlemen, very much gone to seed. three equally anti- quated women, and twenty-odd urchins. According to the standard adopted in most European countries, the group pos- sessed about enough clothes among them to exchange with the rag-and-bone man for a pink-and-yellow balloon. As far as I am concerned, the balloon would be preferable, but then, of course, I am prejudiced. At this point I might say that the whole population was tinted a beautiful, rich, burnt sienna. Why they assumed this colour 1 am not prepared to say, they may have been born with it, or it may have accumulated. Ask a Pullman porter next time you patronize the railway.

For some obscure reason, this conveyance had de- cided to balk right in the centre of the main street of the village, and Was block- ing the right-of-way and spoiling the view. Since Mr. Baer's chariot was not blessed with any such up-to-date appen- dage as a self-starter, it was painfully necessary to cause its enlivenment by hand. Furthermore, since the crank had long since been worn out by previous ceremonies of this kind, he had resorted to the not-uncommon practice of hoisting the posterior end of the vehicle onto some convenient prop, thereby raising one hind wheel to an elevated position above terra iirma, and causing this useful accessory to revolve more or less vigorously, under the influence of muscular effort. page thirty-six f X After three or four dozen particularly vicious turns, a loud Pop emanated from the interior of the machine under treatment, and a quantity of black smoke proceeded from all its visible ventages, whereupon the villagers retreated hur- riedly fand with impunityl to a safe distance. Ford shuddered and was still. This appeared to be an encouraging sign, however, for Mr. Baer redoubled his efforts. They were soon rewarded. The ZX fi-R ff .X '. ffl . .I .. . , f- N ff ' T NX revolutions acquired an undignitied haste, the body shook and jittered and roared. The radiator cap fell off in the excitement. Mr. Baer carefully adjusted the steering mechanism, and retrieved the radiator cap. Then, assuming an air of concen- trated preparedness, by means of a vicious pedal effort. he removed the prop from beneath the rear axle. A shower of sand enveloped the intrepid explorer, but this must have been expected, for he uttered no extreme ejaculations of surprise or anger. The populace again retreated. Since Felix' steed was not capable of a velocity much in excess of nine miles an hour, he soon overtook it, and managed to reach the accepted position at the cor- rect end of the control mechanism. Felix Baer was off on his quest for new worlds to conquer. Peace reigned again in Olo village. -OLIVER INGAMELLS, IIB. THE ORACLE LITERARY SOCIETY AND SCHOOL LIFE The Literary Society is a very important part of our school life. The executive plans all social activities of the student body. It finances the orchestra, a very important organization in our school. Lit. meetings are held in the auditorium, usually once every three months, at which we have a programme arranged by our vice-president. The executive meets twice a month to carry on the business of the Literary Society with the help of Mr. Urlin, the business manager. Members of the South Collegiate Lit- erary Society, let us make this a big year, let us try to make 1933-4 the best year South Collegiate has ever had. We will all have to pull together and do our best if we want to make it better than last year. In 1932-3 we were successful in sports and studies alike. We had our share of cups and scholarship students. We had many little parties and dances. Our dramatics and operettas were quite a success. especially financially. Nevertheless, I believe this year can be better if everyone will help. On September 21 the new Lit execu- tive held its first meeting, at which con- venors for the various activities were chosen. We know these convenors will do their best, and if they should ask any member to contribute time or talent in any way, I know their request will be granted. Let us revive again some of that good old South Spirit. -CHESTER HANCOCK, V B.

I . page thirty-seven THE Cl'llllCAGCl WURLDlS lFAllR The Century of Progress Exhibition, held in Chicago this last summer, was the largest of its kind ever known in history according to attendance records, and therefore it is one of the most interesting. To really appreciate the exhibition one must go through the buildings and ex- hibits slowly and carefully so as to enjoy all there is to be seen. The Century of Progress Ex- hibition is situated on the lake front at Chicago from 12th to 39th Streets on the south side of Chicago, on filled-in land. that is, land that was once under water. An island was built a short distance from the main- land and many of the buildings of the fair are situated there. The Century of Progress Ex- hibition at Chicago is like any ordinary fair, but on a larger scale. It has its barkers, take-a- chance places, cabarets, midway shows, stock shows, and all the other things that go to make up a fair, but besides these things, it has its wonderful buildings, which are examples of modern- istic architecture. They are a beautiful sight to see at any time in the day, but more so at night. The beauty of the exhibition depends almost entirely on its lighting system. Millions of candlepower are used every night in the lighting uip of the buildings and grounds, but it presents a gorgeous spectacle of beauty and color for those present. To give you a brief outline of the Fair, we will take an imaginary trip through the Fair grounds. We enter at the 12th Street gate and there are two courses open to usg one, across the bridge to the island, the other, down the midway. We will choose the former. On the island are several points of interest: the Blue Ribbon Casino, the Jantzen swimming beach, the Horticul- tural Building, the Electrical Building and the Thrill House. The Blue Ribbon Casino is a very famous dine and dance spot at the Fair because of the presence of Ben Bernie and his orchestra. The Jantzen swimming beach is on the lake page thirty-eighl side of the island. Bathing suits are rented there for visitors who wish to take a dip. Swimming and diving contests are held there every day. The Horticultural Building shows the progress of horticul- ture in the last century. There are many gardens scattered around and one can see practically every flower, adapted to that climate, in bloom. The Electrical Building shows the progress of electricity in the last hundred years. The main exhibition in the Electrical Building is the Bell Telephone exhibit, which shows the pro- gress of the telephone since it was invented up to the present time. Twenty free long distance calls to any part of the United States are sent every day for twenty lucky persons. The Thrill House is a motion picture thea- tre projecting on the screen censored parts of news reels such as airplane crashes and automobile wrecks. Many excit- ing moments are spent here. From the island we will go back over the same bridge, thus bringing us back to the 12th Street gates. From here we start down the midway. As one starts on the midway, he comes to the avenue of flags. This is a street extending for a few blocks at the start of the midway with rows of flags on either side. On this avenue are most of the foreign buildings, such as the German, Chinese, Swedish and Italian. At the end of the avenue of iiags the Hall of Science is situated. It is a massive building with a tall towerion the top. From this tower a signal is given every night for the lights to switch on. ln the Hall of Science the pro- gress of all different professions is shown, such as dentistry, law, surgery and medi- cine. The most interesting exhibit in the Hall of Science is probably the Transparent Man. It is a glass man in which the internal organs can be seen in action. The digestive, respiratory, circulation, and nervous system are all shown in action. There are also many mechanical apparatus which do not appeal to one unless he is mechanically minded. Coming out of the Hall of Science we see before us one of the Sky Ride towers. It is a massive THE ORACLE structure of steel towering twenty-five stories in the sky. The other tower is on the island and the rocket double-decker cars run on cables from one tower to the other. One car holds forty passengers. Going down the midway once again, we come to the Belgian village, which depicts the progress of the Belgian people in the last hundred years. The inhabitants of the Moroccoan, which we see next, are busily selling the wares of their country, and the Oriental village is much the same, with the exception of a few cabarets. The Streets of Paris show the life of the Parisians, and the famous and much-dis- cussed Sally Rand fan dance is shown here. From here for quite a way down the midway there is nothing more of great interest except Ripley's Believe It or Not Odditorium, where many of his strange freaks are on display. Farther on down the midway we come to the General Motors Building. In the General Motors Building all the gasoline- driven vehicles made by the aforesaid company are on display. One of the main points of interest of the Fair-the Chev- rolet assembling line-is situated here. The making of a Chevrolet automobile is shown from start to finish. They start with the lattice-work on the roof and then put on the body and build around it. A complete automobile is turned out every twenty minutes and, when they are fin- ished, they are driven off the lot under their own power. Across from the General Motors Building is the Chrysler Building. The Chrysler Building is much the same as the General Motors Building except for the assembly line, and the proving grounds for automobiles. Barney Oldfield, the noted race track driver, is in charge here, and at practically any time of the day one can see automobiles being tested. A short way down the midway is the Travel and Transportation Building. This building depicts the progress of locomo- tion in every line for the last century. Shown there are the newest and oldest automobiles, airplanes, steam engines, locomotives and box cars. An interesting sight is the 320,000 Duesenburg automo- bile. It can attain the speed of 104 m.p.h. in second gear and 140 m.p.h. in high gear. It has a dashboard in the back seat the same as in the front. There are also SOUTH C. I. two radios in this luxurious automobile. The Travel and Transportation Building is one of the most interesting buildings at the Fair. This is the end of the midway. It is very late in the night, but still we have seen only a small portion of the Fair, but we are very tired, so we go out at the 39th Street gates, wending our weary but happy way home. -JOHN F.

Every game, rain or shine, win or lose. South rooters are always lined up on the sidelines doing their part for their Alma Mater. Teachers and students may be seen sharing each other's opinion as to the winner or loser of the game. When South is playing away from home lield. the rooters follow the teams. In several of the rugby games this season away from South. the number of South supporters was just as great, if not greater, than those of the opposing team. Our teams. with such support behind them, ai'e able to play with every bit of energy they have, and they turn in a good game, win or lose. Last year our Senior Rugby team went to Sarnia. Many of us will remember that day. It was cold and rained nearly all day. But did that keep us back? Not at all. When the game started at Sarnia, it ,s. j W W, in! 4 ., S M f 9:11 -ras 9-ze J X P A seemed as if half South had followed the team there. We all agreed on the fact that it was the best collegiate game we ever witnessed. Yet again, we also remember the game of South at Woodstock. About fifty parents of South students were down to see that game. Not only that: every student who saw the game was able to be there without missing a single class. We had two periods before nine in the morning and were able to get out at 2.45 in the afternoon. Even though South was beaten, we all think the game well worth the trip. This support is the same for our teams in any branch of sport. Though we don't always win, we know how to accept defeat. Such co-operation on the part of the page forty students is bound to make our school known and respected. -TOM FAUST, V B. RCW DA Ce OC South Collegiate may well be proud of her 1932 Rugby teams, Senior and Junior, they led us to victory over Beck and Cen- tral Collegiates. As a reward of their splendid efforts, lVIr. Graham allowed the Boys' Athletic Association to give the school a Rugby Dance to celebrate. All holders of Students' Activities tickets were invited and the doors were thrown open at eight o'clock on Thursday night, December 27th, the last day of the fall term. The dance was held in the gym, which was gayly festooned with balloons, blown up that afternoon by a few air-minded male inmates with strong lungs. At the east of the gym, on a slightly raised plat- form, a most competent orchestra played sweet music, while from the balcony colored spotlights were thrown on the fioor, giving the whole place a festive appearance. Towards the end of the evening the orchestra stopped and Mr. Dinsmore, appropriately dressed as Santa Claus, handed out dixie cups. At the same time ginger ale and cookies were procurable in the hall, where a temporary booth had been set up. At eleven-thirty the orchestra played t'God Save the King. We had a wonder- ful time and it was a perfect ending to a term of hard work. I think the whole student body showed their appreciation by turning out in such large numbers, and, by the way, it dominated their com ersations for some weeks. We haven't forgotten, even now, what a marvelous time we had, nor how indebted we are to the boys for giving us such a party. We only hope that this year they will repeat their eiorts and give us another evening of similar entertainment. -MARY D1LLoN, IV B. THE ORACLE THE ORACLE PARTY Last year our party was more success- ful than ever. We all gathered together in the auditorium for a while, where We first came to entertain ourselves and be entertained. There was almost vaudeville on the stage tremembering the sailor choruses and Ches Hancock's singing guitarb, and a play by the form selling the most Oracles. Old-fashioned songs Cpopular last yearj were sung with great gusto and we ad- journed in due time to the gymnasium, which was set up for dancing and games. There was an orchestra to which you could either keep time by juggling your partner or by juggling your jig-saw. and after a while the floor was even juggled in on a wagon, but there was no puzzle as to where it went. The party ended up with a bang and was voted by all an overwhelming success. ill. PEGG. FIFTH YEAR BANQUET It was the general opinion, at least among fifth year, that the smartest event of the school season year was the Fifth Year Banquet. held on May 26. This was the night when our hopes and ambitions were raised to the highest point by praise never dreamed of from our teachers. Even the anticipation of the speeches could not spoil our enjoyment of the delightful supper served by the fourth year girls. Mr. Graham responded to the toast to the school, given by Jack Crone, and Keith Coates to the toast to the graduates, given bv Miss McPherson. Other speakers were Ted Hutchinson, our Fifth Year president: Miss Hilliard, the honorary president, and Mr. Urlin. Carol Balfour gave the vale- dictory address. A musical number was contributed by Bill Walters on the accordian. The rest of the evening was spent danc- ing in the gymnasium, where music was provided by an orchestra. We left feeling that we had a most delightful and interesting evening. MARY FERRIS, V B. SOUTH C. I. BASKETBALL DANCES On Saturday, March 4th, a Basketball Dance, the Hrst South Collegiate has ever had, was put on under the auspices of the Boys' Athletic Association. There were two very exciting games-the W.O.S.S.A. Senior boys playing a team of graduates made up of such erstwhile stars as Bill Haysom and Gord. Bloomfield. The score was tied. Then the W.O.S.S.A girls played a graduation team composed of Lois Gidley, Hazel Cole and others. The present girls team won this game. Later in the evening an orchestra pro- vided dance music, and ginger ale was served. That the night was a great success was very obvious when a similar event took place on April 29th. This evening proved to be a regular reunion for the many ex- students there, who had attended South in its first years. such as Mr. and Mrs. B. Ellyatt and Mr. and Mrs. E. Hatneld. There were three good games. followed by dancing. These two events showed once more South's ability to give her students a marvelous time. -NORA TMCEWING, V A. 4 4 'I C Y 1 page forty-one :B . av'- C1 ,ski fi, DB- The Junior At Home, held on Friday evening. October 27th, took the form of a masquerade party. Only first and second year and the staff were invited. At about eight o'clock the witches. arabs, old- fashioned ladies and gentlemen. pierrots, etc.. assembled in the auditorium, where a very enjoyable programme was presented by the committee in charge. There was dancing. reciting and playing. Also an attractive play called Handicap was pre- sented by a well-trained cast under the able direction of Mrs. Carr-Harris. The programme being finished, we assembled in the gymnasium. but as there were too many for group games, the other games, such as checkers. were started in the auditorium. while dancing was carried on in the gym. The draw for lucky number was held. and Tom Owen won the prize. While the dancing was going on lunch was served in the cafeteria, with Mr. Byles and Mr. lYonnacott guarding the doors. The party was a great success and we would like it to be a masquerade party next year. A great deal of credit is due to Miss McRoberts, who was general convenor. -JEAN JARMAIN, II C. LONDON SOUTH PARENTS' ASSOCIATION Year after year our association performs certain duties which tend to make student life worth while, and it hopes in the near future to have a membership which will enable it, not only to be of greater heli l and service to the student body, but to be a credit to the school and London South. Few parents are aware, I believe, of the fact that ours is the only such association carrying on this work west of Toronto. Others have been organized, but interest lagged and they functioned for only a short time, then giving up entirely. page forty-two We are to-day confronted with a task, an obligation and a privilege with which every parent in London South should be acquainted. We intend having an open meeting for parents in the auditorium of the school in the near future, at which time we hope every parent will be present. Our aim is to inform you at this meeting of our objective, and we hope you will avail yourselves of this opportunity of becoming familiar with the aims and objective of our, or may I say, your asso- cion. May we have your earnest support and presence at this meeting. Ample notice will be given all. H. O. FARROW, Presidenft. A LCLAM BAKE A clam bake is one of those things we Ontario people read about, but never see. To most of us these two words mean nothing, but for me, who was fortunate enough to be present at one this summer, they conjure up vivid and lasting mem- ories. The bakes take place on the New England coast and everything about them is tinged with the smell of seaweed. The manner of baking the clam is very interesting. A large, flat block of cement is heated red-hot by a big fire which is built upon it, and then every trace of char- coal is swept away and the cement covered with eight or ten inches of seaweed. Upon the carpet of weed are placed baskets full of clams which have been dug up before- hand, and also fish, sweet potatoes, dress- ing. lobster and even chicken sometimes. All this is covered with a huge tarpaulin and the steam oozing up through the weed cooks everything. After an hour or so the tarpaulin is removed and supper begins, Clam chowder is Iirst, and REAL clam chowder, not canned. lOf course, in New England it is clam chawdah. J Then come the clams, and you find that you are completely ignor- ant in the science of eating them! You are told to break open the shell, remove the filmy cloak surrounding the clam, dip it in melted butter and eat it. And they are good, believe it or not! So good that the veteran clam-eater can eat whole dishes full of them and never bat an eyelash. And so, although you are a perfectly THE ORACLE ignorant, insignificant know-nothing at the bake, you find that when you come home you are an authority on How to Behave at a Clam-Bake. -HELEN TRACE, VB. AN OVER-EXAGGERATED IDEA OF IVVIQIAT 'WI-3 LIKE IN SCHOOL IMPROVEMENTS Qy a Qgecond gear Cstudent Last year, in first year, we had to write an essay on Improvements of Our School. I didn't write what I really wanted tog for one reason, I didn't know, and also because you might have thought me slightly dizzy. However, this year I will put forth a brave effort. The first improvement that I think would be most appreciated by one and all is an esculator. Instead of walking sedately upstairs, or falling down, think how grand it would be to step on a felt- covered esculator and be taken up and down. Those who are too tardy to stand could sit down and perhaps get that last algebra question done. VVhen we reach the top of the stairs, we would sink in .lf 'xx I 71 SOUTH C. I. Baby Austins and drive down the corridors to our classrooms. After classes it would be great if we could spare a minute or two to get a soda or lime rickey at a soda fountain. At the east side of the school we could have a tennis court fmaybe we willi , where the school tennis tournament could be held. Just think of how many students would come early to indulge in a set or two and perhaps get in school on time. Although the home Work is not too much to complain of HJ Cremember I am only in second yeari, if we had shorter hours we could go to the afternoon show-provided we did not have an unbreakable appoint- ment in Room 13. Imagine the high marks we would get if Mr. Graham put the exam- ination papers on the bulletin board at least one week before examinations start! And to top things 05, we should have lounging chairs and a radio in the office for those who expect a long wait before seeing Mr. Graham or Mr. Urlin. With all these improvements, who would want to play hookey from school? -IRENE ROACH, II D. 211 u ' -a 31, page forty-three - I ,mmm IF gags!! :nur sv-aiIyl ef'95e1cg1-Al ,RSI i?iB5fi!!i552f:E22P Z, , f??9T!i:iE-iiiiii' iP?':5E:g1:i,a -r- - 2, , . - r - 5 Eii55iii.i-iii!

If f Qff'22wf 'e.f Editor. GEORGE This year the work of the exchange editor has been even more interesting than in former years. The depression, not con- tent with harassing all other businesses and pleasures, has seriously threatened the existence of many of the best school maga- zines, and. in a few cases, has caused them to cease operations indefinitely. Casting no reflections whatever, may we repeat that it has been interesting to see how many of our contemporaries have been able to come through with as good a magazine as before. As exchange editor, we naturally turned first to the exchange columns of the other magazines. We found The Red and W'hite, of St. Dunstan's University, the most useful of any we read. Space does not permit us to print the compliments which other schools invariably heaped upon us. It is enough to say that we saw and appre- ciated all of them. We liked the Way The Parkdalian, of Parkdale C. I., Toronto, and The Volt, of Ingersoll C. I., were handled, and we thought the cartoons in the Exchange page of the Acta Studentium were very original. We found all the short stories interest- ing and well written. The Grumbler, of Kitchener and IVaterloo C. I., seemed to specialize in them, at the expense of some of the smaller sections of their magazine. We can make no attempt to list them in order of merit, but other schools with good literary sections were: The Norvoc, of the Northern Vocational School: The Tattler, of Tillsonburg C. I.: The Echoes, of Peter- borough: The Cranleighan. of Cranleigh School, Bedford, Surreyg The Oracle, of Fort William, and The Techalogue, of the page forty-four ELEMMING. VA Technical C. I., Saskatoon. Poetry, too, was Well represented, perhaps best by The Lantern, of Beck C. I., London. The more important sports, such as rugby and basketball, were all so well written up that we found ourselves turning to the smaller headings, such as tennis, swimming, skiing, boxing and rowing, before making any decision. These sports are, of course, beyond the reach of many schools, and for this reason are more inter- esting. We thought the descriptions of sport particularly vivid in The Magnet, of Jarvis C. I., Toronto, The Acta Nostra, of Guelphg The Review, of Central C. I., London, and The Collegian, of Stratford C. I. Illustrations, cartoons and headings can, of course, make or mar any magazine. Cartoons Were often lacking Where they might have made a considerable improve- ment. For art in general, we preferred The Lantern, of Beck C. I., London. As regards arrangement, we thought The Norvoc, of Northern Vocational School. could have done much better. The Muse, of Malvern C. I., sets them a very fine example of efective arrangement. The photographs in the magazine of the Kelvin Tech would have to be much clearer to be of any use to an outsider and, on the other hand, those of The Lux Glebana of Glebe C. I., were very good. The jokes, as a whole, were poor. T-here were some good ones, but one had to hunt too hard to find them. However, humor is not extinct, for We found The Jungle, in The Red and White, and in The Acta fturn to page SSQ THE ORACLE EF Ecliteur, NUXRJORY LEE, VA liclitrice Colisullante. lxllle. Nl. K.

Avec ses monuments aux grands heros et sesbatiments du dix- septieme siecle qui s'y sont trouves, Quebec est un pays de Vetonnement. Le capitol, Quebec, est la ville des sou- venirs. Fierement sur sa roche elle demeure dans la memoire du passe. Jacques Car- tier, Champlain et Montcalm restent a cete des grands chemins et montent la garde sur la ville qu'ils ont trouve ou clefendu. La ville de Montreal, la plus grande ville du Canada, etait trouvee, le seize mai, mil seize cent quarante-deux par Paul Chomedey de Maisonneuve et etait connu sous le nom de Ville-Marie. Ville-Marie a passe par beaucoup de perils quand elle etalt entouree par les Iroquois. Plus tard quand la France et l'Ang1eterre luttaient pour la suprematie, Montreal a montre la valeur des soldats francais. Quand la nouvelle Angleterre s'est arrachee de la vieille Angleterre, la fidelite a l'Angleterre a conserve la ville. Montreal est unique parmi de grandes villes et a une caractere de sa facon. Il y a plusieurs stations d'ete en Quebec. Pres de Trois Pistoles sont Bic et Cacouna. Dans la peninsule Gaspe bien des gens vont pour leurs Vacances. La langue francaise est parlee le long de la c6te du nord etula langue anglaise et la langue francaise le long de la Baie de Chaleurs. Les gens ont conserve les vieilles moeurs et coutumes de leurs ancetres. -BLANCHE STAUFFER, V C. SOUTH C. I. 5 provinre 'Queloer Une des premieres differences qu'on remarque entre la campagne du Quebec, et celle de l'Ontario est la difference de la forme des champs. Les champs du Quebec sont tous de formes rectangulaires, et de dimensions presque egales. Ils sont longs et tres etroits. et sont limites par des cletures de pieux. Le terrain est tres accidente et les nombreuses digues de roches qu'on y apercoit dans le centre de chacun demontrent une terre moins pro- ductive que celle de nos regions. Les patates et le foin constituent la recolte principale. Beaucoup de granges ont des formes octagonales, ce qui nous a paru , c an I bien etrange. Les vieux fours sont tres typiquew de la province de Quebec. Le pain et les feves, qu'on y fait cuire. ont un gout delicieux et tout a fait different. On ne voit rien qui puisse se comparer avec les petites maisons blanches, une grande cheminee a chaque bout. les granges lolanches aussi. et les fours d'ar- gile, tout pi-as de la route. Je ne dois pas oublier le majestueux Saint-Laurent-ce beau fleuve qui ajoute tant au charme du paysage, Quebec est plein d'attraits et il ne manque jamais de fascinations au voyageur. -KATHLEEN MILLIGAN, '36, U.W.O. page forty-five Une chose qu'on remarque toujours en Quebec est la religion du peuple. Dans chaque paroisse l'eglise occupe la place la plus centrale qui domine tout le village. Les eglises elles-memes sont grandes, im- posantes, generalement construites en pierre taillee ou en pierre des champs, telles qu'on ne trouve ici que dans les grandes villes. Cela signifie la place de l'eglise dans la vie des Canadiens-Fran- Qais. Le dimanche toutes les familles, non seulement du village mais de la campagne des environs viennent rendre leur hom- nage au pied de l'autel. Les voitures a quatre tune famille canadienne a besoin de plus de quatre placesl et les chevaux donnent une couleur locale a la scene. L'eglise a toujours les cloches, qui son- nent souvent pendant la journee com- mencant ei cinq heures du matin avec Vangelus, puis les prieres. A midi l'an- gelus sonne encore et a sept heures du soir. fOn peut regler sa montre par l'angelus.J Il est bien touchant d'entendre les cloches au crepuscule. Personne ne meurt pas, ne se marie pas, n'est pas con- firme sans que les cloches sonnent, et on ne doit pas oublier les baptemes! Dans les maisons on trouve encore des temoins de leur foi, dans les gravures pieuses-de la Vierge Marie avec le Coeur sanglant et d'autres du meme genre. Le cure est vraiment le pere de sa paroisse. Il s'interesse a tout ce qui touche le bien de ses paroissiens. A un seance des fermieres il a critique les tapis parce que les couleurs ne se mariaient pas bien! -RUBY STAUFFER.

ORCllESTRA NEWS The orchestra is increasing in size each year, and this year the instrumentation is practically complete except for the oboe and the bassoon 3 otherwise we have a repre- sentation of all the instruments which are necessary to combine to make the orches- tra sound as it should. But we have not by any means reached a capacity size, because there is alwavs room for new members. This year there are nineteen violins. two cellos. two bass viols, one viola, five cornets. two flutes, two clari- nets. three saxophones, one trombone. a set of drums, the bells and a piano, mak- ing forty instruments in all as compared with thirty-two last year. The addition of the trombone and viola are greatly assist- ing the orchestra. The bass section will be strengthened this year by another bass viol. Those who were students at the school last year will notice how much the violin section has increased its numbers. The orchestra attained a great deal of success during the school year 1932-33, playing at various times in the auditorium, such as at morning exercises and literary society meetings. At another time the orchestra played at an evening service in Knox United Church. To add to this list of achievements. this organization helped to make the school dramatics a success by playing the orchestration for the operetta. Hulda of Holland. The or- chestra hopes to go on to even greater accomplishments this year and, with the support of each and every individual, I SOUTH C. I. am sure that it will do so. Even now plans are being made for a concert which the orchestra intends to put on about the iirst of December. Several musicians who have graduated from South will be with us that night to help. This is one of the biggest programmes which the orchestra has ever undertaken, and it will, to all appearances, be a great success. The orchestra has felt the need of some new equipment this year because of the decided increase of members, so it has purchased several new stands, equipped with lights, also a bass viol and a cello. Many new members have joined us this year and the orchestra wishes to thank those musicians who have answered Mr. Byle's appeal to join our diligent but happy group. Although new ones are coming, old ones are leaving, and we are sorry to say that we have lost from our ranks such reliable members as Owen Cousins, Don Morrison, Jack Crone, Howard Philips, George Ross, Alfred Cave and Louis Hayes. This year's officers are: Honorary president, Mrs. Carr-Harrisg honorary vice-presidents, Howard Dicks and Bill Chambersg president, Bill Hartryg vice- president, Christine Aitken, secretary- treasurer.

We Were pleased to have as our guests Mrs. Carr-Harris, Mrs. Byles and Jackie. On arriving at Kilworth even Mr. Cal- vert could not resist the temptation of rolling up his pants-legs, removing his shoes and socks, and wading around in the cool, refreshing stream, after his hard day's work. Most of othe other boys and girls were not long in following. Poor little Bobby Morgan, in crossing the stream on stones, unfortunately stepped on one unable to bear his enormous weight and as a result had to go around in wet socks all evening. Meanwhile the majority of the boys had journeyed down to the ole swimmin' hole and were refreshing themselves and working up an appetite for the supper, served in regular camp style by our English chefs, Mr. Byles and Jack Crone. After stuffing ourselves to the bursting point with hot dogs, bacon, rolls. bread and butter, cake, lemonade, olives and last, but not least. ice cream. and after a hearty game of ball, the picnic was adjourned, when we returned to the city, tired and happy.

Dramawtirs Under the capable management of Mrs. Carr-Harris, a short play was put on dur- ing the programme of the 1933 At Home. The old-fashioned costumes and white Wigs lent a touch of unusual charm and quaintness to the play, The Favours of My Lady Leone. The players consisted of Libby Pegg as Lady Lean, Ernie Grove as handsome Ferrars, the Prince, Freddie Haysom as Dubois, the elder friend of the Prince, John Gordon as the fussy fat man, Ross Miller, the Kirgg and Barry Hunt, a courtier. If the play could be deemed a success, it was only through the untiring efforts of Mrs. Carr-Harris and the effect pro- duced by her upon each player. -LIBBY PEGG, IV A. -,,, 7-.

Page fifly THE ORACLE From the viewpoint of a spectator, the operetta, Hulda of Holland, produced by South students last year, was one of the most successful and outstanding per- formances ever given in our auditorium. The operetta itself could not have been chosen more appropriately, and both the cast and the orchestra filled their parts with unusual excellence. The story was a delightful musical comedy in three acts with its setting laid in the picturesque land of Holland. A handsome American youth, visiting in that country, fell deeply in love with a beautiful Dutch girl, Hulda. She was pre- viously engaged to another, eccentric American, a friend of her father's. The handsome American impersonated Hulda's fiance and all seemed to be running smoothly when the latter's parents ar- rived and everything was disclosed. It was discovered, however, that Hulda's true lover was the son of her father's greatest friend and there was a happy ending. The forsaken fiance found consolation in one of the many beautiful Dutch girls. The operetta was made doubly interest- ing by the playing of our own school orchestra. It must have meant many months of diligent practice to prepare for this and the orchestra performed excellently. The picturesque land of Holland made SOUTH C. I. a lovely background for the play, and the atmosphere of the country was made very realistic by the costumes created by South students. A local newspaper said of the operetta: Whimsical and lovely as the carefree Dutch land in which it is set, Hulda of Holland, musical production of the students of London South Collegiate, was presented to a capacity audience at the school auditorium last night. A musical comedy it is billed, but the name is not fair to it. Musical romance would be better, for while it is bright and merry and full of quirks, its romantic atmosphere is carefully created and sustained by a cast of competent players. The main characters were: Peter Cats -Orion Orchard, Jacob Hoogenbeets- Donald Baldwing Hulda-Beth Reed, Kat- rina-Anne Gordon, Jerry Heyden- Harold Carling: Vrow Cats-Edith Samp- son: Jan Steen-Chester Hancock: Jimmy Stone-Norman Farrow, Dirck-Harold White: Adrian Steen-John Kidd, and Cornelius Heyden-John Gordon. The girls of the chorus were: Jean Axford, Dorothy Carpenter, Monica Clarke, Dora Dicks, Ivy Dunkley, Eulene Jenkins, Mary Kennedy, Rosemary Mallinson, Nora Mc- Ewing, Betty Mclsaac, Shirley Robinson, Laura Screaton, Eunice Spettigue, Eve- lina Thompson, Jean Watt, Marjorie page fifty-one Whitton and Netta Morrison, while the boys were Kirk Bell. Charlie Cowan, Tom Faust, Bob Ford. Charlie Forrest, Gordon Franks, Ernie Grove. Fred Haysom, Row- land Hill, Tom Huyton, Allan Johnston, Paul Kemp, Neil Love. Art McKenzie, and Jack White. Mr. Allin, producer of the operetta, Mr. Byles, leader of the orchestra, the entire cast and members of the orchesra deserve our whole-heared congratulations for this splendid production. The whole school, I know, will look forward eagerly to an- other operetta should Mr. Allin produce one this Year. To those connected in any wav with the producing of Hulda of Holland may I again say: Congratulations I -JOAN BREAKSPEAR, IV C. IMPRESSIONS OF HHULDA OF HOLLAND AS RECALLED BY A MEMBER OF THE CAST To give an account of the work in the production of the operetta, Hulda of Hol- land, one must tell how it all started. One January morning in the audi- torium Mr. A'lin made an appeal to the members of the student body who were interested in the production of an operetta and asked them to meet in the auditorium after school. The meeting at 4 o'clock showed an enthusiastic response. To produce the operetta meant approxi- mately two and a half months of con- tinuous and sincere Work by both direc- tors and members of the cast. Voices had to be tested, lines had to be learned, cos- tumes had to be made. and scenery had to be constructed, yet no one was daunted by the thought of any of these difficult tasks. Many members of the cast had never appeared on a stage before. All the more credit should be given to them for going into the operetta with this handicap. But they received a wonderful training for the future dramatic work into which they might wish to enter. While the cast was completing its Work, Mr. Byles and the orchestra were prac- ticing the music for the operetta. After the principals had been picked, lines and songs had been learned, and the orchestral music had been practiced to perfection. there was a practice for the page fifty-two cast and the orchestra in which songs and dances were tried out, thus starting the moulding together of the operetta. The week before the performance Mr. Allin succeeded in obtaining Mr. Walter Dixon of the Little Studio to come and balance the settings and put the finish- ing touches to the production. The rehearsal was a little bit discourag- ing but, nevertheless, hope that things would go better on the final night was felt throughout, and Chester Hancock, the comedian in the operetta, acted the clown behind stage and kept our spirits up. On the night of the production every member of the cast was present about an hour before the curtain rose to have the make-up put on. Mr. and Mrs. Freeman and Miss McFarlane were responsible for this task and to those who saw the operetta I feel sure that they will agree with me that the make-up was exception- ally good. Behind the scenes were many workers who, through their whole-hearted co- operation, helped to make the operetta a success. To Mr. Freeman, stage director and properties manager, and his helpers, Bill Rivers, Jim McHale and CHE Ready, we are indebted for that wonderful piece of Dutch scenery which was complete in every detail,- the white-Washed walls of the house which are characteristic of Holland, combined with windmills, tulips and the picket fence. Miss McRoberts and her assistants, Barbara Knowles and Hazel Phillips, formed the costume committee. Miss Mac- Farlane and Miss Hilliard directed the dances Which, I might say, was trying for them when they tried to make our stub- born feet go to the rhythm of the music. Mr. Wonnacott was responsible for the dialogue. Among others to help in the production were Mr. Urlin, Haswell Dodds and George Ross, who were responsible for the advertising and tickets, While Mrs. Carr-Harris was the general convener. The operetta proved such a success and such a pleasure to those who took part that we, who still remain at South, will be on hand to help produce another operetta this year and hope thatlmany others will also take an interest in it. -Dom Dicks, IV C.

This September. :ot liaviiii a great deal to do until the memorable 25th, I was able to recline at ease and watch with yarious feelings the familiar old faces, and many new ones. trudge back to the little red schoolhouse. Here. of course, everybody expects me to make the time-honoured remark about the nrst year kids getting smaller every year. But to me they looked like a line group-as they toddled, crawled. or scooted past our front door. Ours was the first class never to grace the old building with its presence. Thus we think of the new school much as the old pioneers must have thought of the Victoria School. It has mellowed slightly in tive years. The bricks are not quite so gaudily red. the auditorium so glaringly new, the trees so clearly hard-struggling tmy prayers are with those trees: they may yet hide the ugly pilei, Mr. Dinsmore so obviously dieting. Wives have been acquired. and children begotg waistlines have appeared and been struggled with. But on the whole the school to-day pre- sents the same appearance as it did that long age ago when we first timidly entered its doors. It was a great five years, and there was much sadness. I know, in our hearts at that Fifth Year Banquet. But the future beckons-perhaps not as bright a future as could be hoped for. but it is youth that will brighten that future, if it is to be brightened at all. and in that army of marching youth South will have its place, fighting there with the youth of Canada page fifty-four and the world against War, against greedy capitalism, against selfish nationalism, against all the ugliness of the democratic world, to give civilization a better, perhaps idealistic system of government, economics. and social life. -Ye Brave Knightes of Qide By If JEANNEE WATTEE, Arts '37, U. of VV.

Off the southwestern point of Ireland lie the Blasket Islands, the home of per- haps one hundred and fifty Irish peasants, who live by fishing. One of their youths has written this autobiography, which is typical of the life of many, many Irish people, for his friends on the Blasket. Did you ever hear how the life of man is divided? Twenty years a-growing, twenty years in blossom, twenty years a- stooping. and twenty years declining. Look now, I have sayings you never heard. In this typical sentence from Twenty Years A-Growing, we may taste of the unique poetry and beauty of its style. Like a breath of the dawn across the sun- rippled waters of the sound, and the heather-hills of the island, comes this work. full of the charm of dances in the moonlight, the excitement of the Ventry races. the gaiety of Hallowe'en celebra- tions, and the love of a wake. Just the story of the everyday life of the people, turf-gathering among the hills, the small boy's dis'ike of school, his excitement over a first fishing expedition and finally his venture, as a man, out into the world, make of it an intensely human book. The public will enjoy the book, not only for the author's simple and sincerely beautiful treatment of his subject, but also for the glimpse he gives us of the lives and char- acters of a people of whom we have hitherto known very little. -M.

It contains a variety of subjects ages, will find this namely: How the World May End Moving Mountains, Wonders of the Rocks, The Causes of Earthquakes and Volcanoes, and the mystery of Disap pearing Islands. All of these are ex plained in a manner readily understood by the reader. The book is profusely illustrated. In the topic, Wonders of the Rocks, an amazing account is given of the approximate age of the earth. This is calculated from the thickness of certain rocks found in the earth's crust, and from certain mineral activities. I am sure everyone would find this book most engaging. -CHARLIE HOARE, IIE.

Kah, who is an Eskimo, seems to be a real live boy. He has many exciting adventures and, like most boys, he is sometimes frightened. A white man chances to discover the camp Where Kah lives. He maks a friend of Kah and teaches him many interesting things about civilization. The author has good material and certainly knows what to do with it. --GERTRUDE BUGLER, II THE ORACLE THE BLANKET OF THE DARK By John Buchan. To say that a book is by John Buchan is to give it a passport to any company, and The Blanket of the Dark is no exception. Buchan's beautiful prose, his easy, swift-moving style, make his char- acters living, interesting people. He has that rare gift of story telling that makes romance real, yet awakes in us a wistful longing for something more than the commonplaces of life afford. The story is fascinating. It is set in England, in the Severn region, during the reign of Henry VIII. Peter Stafford, Earl of Buckingham and Bohun, is the hero. His was the magic name to which the whole west of England rose against Wales. Henry was busy with revolts in the north, Peter's forces were prepared to march. But a tremendous fall of snow, a thaw and then rain made the rivers impassable and prevented the intended mobilization. Unexpectedly, the king came to nearby Woodstock for the hunting, and Peter, with a small party, set out to capture him. In his eagerness for the hunt, the king became separated from his party, and, attempting to cross a river, was caught when the dam broke. Peter, alone, and in darkness, rescued him. From there events move swiftly and fatefully. Henry did not die, nor did Peter,-but, I am sure you want to find out for yourself. --JEAN PHILIPS, V A. P14 :lf if UMUTINY ON THE BOUNTYH This book contains the adventures of Roger Byam, who was midshipman on H, M. S. Bounty, sailing in 1787 from England for the Island of Tahiti. In turn he was a chieftain on Tahiti, a mutineer condemned to death, and a sea captain under Nelson. James N. Hall and Charles Nordoff, the authors, who have lived in Tahiti, have access to the Admiralty Office and thus provide a very colorful background for this story. In my opinion this book, for those interested in exciting biographies, is well worth the reading. -GEO. W. GRAHAM, III D. Irwfr Q9 P' SOUTH C. I.

NORFOLK, Arts '36, University of Western Ontario Amateur Radio! There is romance in the words. They speak of adventure, of conquest, of forging into new fields, and experiencing new thrills. To-day there are thousands upon thousands of young men, yes, and even girls, who are finding a thrilling, enjoyable and profitable hobby in the pursuits of amateur radio. When I say profitable, I am not thinking so much of profit in the mercenary sense, but of everlasting educational and instructive profit. When asked my opinion on the best extra-curricula activities for a high school student whose interests lie in science, I would say unhesitatingly, Get into radio l There is not a field of our everyday life in which radio and radio principles do not play a vital part. Years ago, when a high school student developed a passion for science, he played in his spare time with spark machines, leyden jars and gold-leaf electroscopes. Nowadays he plays with vacuum tubes, condensers and coils. But, you ask, how can I become a radio amateur? There are three what might be cal.ed first steps. Learn the elementary prin- ciples of radio communication by recourse to a good book on the subject. The most valuable and comprehensive book of such a kind is The Radio Amateur's Hand- book, published by the Amateur Radio Relay League and available at Gurd's, Ltd., Dundas Street. The price is one dollar. page sixly-two Having mastered the fundamentals, the next thing to do is to build a short wave receiver. The beginner's first receiver need not cost over ten dollars, including tubes, batteries, and phones. With such a set, having only two tubes, good reception may be had from all over the continent. As the amateur gains experience, he may wish to construct a more powerful one. This one also has two tubes, but is elec- trically operated throughout. Both the above sets are described in detail in the aforementioned Handbook, with full illus- trations and constructive advice. The author has just completed a receiver of the type last mentioned, and has had very fine reception from South America, England, France, Germany, Spain, and Italy. Its total cost was not over twenty-five dollars. To enjoy more thoroughly the possession and operation of a short wave receiver, one should learn the International Morse code. Full instructions and helpful advice for learning the code are also contained in the Handbook. Once it has been mastered, the amateur will be able to receive messages from all over the world. What a thrill to sit in your own home and listen to com- munications from amateurs in India, Africa and other out of the way places of the world, to hear despatches from Byrd's Antarctic expedition, and movie companies on location in different corners of the world! These are only a few of the thrills experienced by a short wave listener. Then, too, in times of distress caused by floods, earthquakes and disease, sometimes, when all other means of communication were down, radio amateurs have stepped proudly into the breach and have, at times, been instrumental in saving hundreds of THE ORACLE lives by keeping in touch with the rest of the World. The radio amateur is a respected mem- ber of the community, he is recognized by the government and provided for accord- inglyg and, best of all, he has a hobby which will not only bring him hours of enjoyment, but will give him experience and knowledge which will stand him in good stead in years to come. LOS ANGELES AIR RACES ll935 KEITH COATES, Arts '37. University of Western Ontario. According to the 1933 Los Angeles Air Races, the trend along which present-day aircraft designers are working is to pro- duce airplanes with more and more power and less refinement of streamline design. The most outstanding example of the typical racing plane of the day is that of Colonel Roscoe Turner, who, with his ship, set a new United States transcontinental air record from New York to Los Angeles. His plane, a speedy low-winged mono- plane of Wedell-Williams design, was cap- able of 300 miles an hour, or more. Turner's average speed for his flight was only 250 miles an hour, due to the fact that he was unable to fly through rain- storms at his maximum speed. Before setting out from New York, Turner tele- phoned to the California Institute of Technology, where a new and very accu- rate method of forecasting the locality of storm areas had been devised. So, by turning aside a few miles at those points where he had been warned that storms were prevalent, Turner was able to bring his ship down fully a half hour ahead of his nearest rival. This year saw more power pouring from the already powerful engines used in the tiny racers. Last year, in May, Jimmie Doolittle won the Thompson Trophy for the 100-mile dash with a 750 horsepower engine pulling his monoplane through the air at Cleveland. This year saw Colonel Turner win the same event with an engine supercharged up to nearly 1,000 horsepower. These planes are rela- tively very small and consequently have a heavy wing loading. Another item of interest is the fact that these races were all clocked by electricity, and at the finish lines two-eyed cameras recorded their times and positions, accurate to H000 of a. second. These cameras and electrical timing devices have often settled defi- nitely and accurately many a dispute as ,SOUTH c. 1. to which plane really won. Thisapparatus is now regarded as a necessity in Judging finishes. The tiny racers come in two classes-the 375 cubic inch piston displacement, and the 550 inch displacement. They land sometimes in excess of 100 miles an hour, and their top speeds vary up around the 200 mile an hour mark. In the air they look like tiny insects, and, when they make vertical turns around the pvlons, the casual observer holds his breath for fear they might collapse in mid-air. Any fortunate individual who saw the races must have been more than thrilled at the exhibition of stunt iiying put on by iiying aces of many countries. Imagine witnessing the young Italian ace, Tito Falconi, do barrel rolls right off the ground! Another interesting event was the thrilling exhibition of flying put on by Ernst Udet, of war-time and present fame, representing Germany. Many of the American pilots considered his seven- year-old Fokker biplane, powered with only a 150 horsepower motor, an object of ridicule. They were, however, forced to admit, because of his prowess in the manoeuvres which he executed, that they were quite wrong. He actually pulled his ship straight up into a whipstall, only 300 feet above the grandstands. Repeatedly, he looped his plane without any power, and held the crowds spellbound by pick- ing up handkerchiefs from the ground with a hook tied to one wing. Crowds also thrilled as they watched Lieut. .Iohnnv Miller loop-the-loop in an auto-gyro. This, an all-new stunt for the National Air Races, received great ova- tions from the spectators. Can you imagine a parachute jumper leaving a plane at nearly 15,000 feet, to fall twist- ing and turning, his course marked by wisps of white smoke? He opened his first Iturn ,to page 832 page sixty-three Twine Direc't Control Aufogyro Probably the greatest advance in auto- gyro construction since Juan de la Cievra built his first successful one, is the applica- tion of the direct-control idea. Simul- taneous experiments in England and America led to the construction of several experimental machines, and recently, it was announced that the first autogyros of this type were offered for sale in England on a commercial basis. This is a single seater model, but Juan de la Cievra is at present testing a large cabin type simi- lariy equipped. The great difference between this machine and an ordinary autogyro is that it lacks all control surfaces: that is all the hinged flaps at the tail and on the wings that are to be found in the ordinary one. These fiaps control the direction of the fiight in the old type autogyro, but a simpler and safer means controls it in the new. First of all, the blades are attached to the centre, so that they may turn around in their sockets as well as revolve around the rotor mast. Thus, when one wishes to climb, the f'stick is pulled back fit hangs from the ceiling in the new autogyrol. As the blades swing around to the front, their angle is increased, while at the back their angle is decreased, so that the lift at the front increases and that at the back decreasesg the front rises, and the auto- gyro climbs. The reverse is true of the dive. To turn, the stick is moved to the inside of the turn. As one blade goes to the outside, it takes on a greater angle: the inside one takes on a lesser angle, and page dxtyjour the autogyro tips and finally turns around. In one revolution, the angle of the blade changes four timesg it becomes greater, goes back to neutral, increases with opposite inclination, then goes back to neutral again. But this is only one method by which inventors are attacking the problem. Another method, more simple perhaps, is that of tilting the whole rotor. Thus, if one wants to climb, the rotor is tilted back, the angle of all blades automatically increases. and the autogyro climbs. The reverse is also true of the dive. In a turn, the rotor is tipped to one side, and the autogyro turns in much the same way as a boy turns a corner on a bicycle, with his hands off the handlebars. That is to say, the centres of gravity and lift do not coin- cide and in both cases the turn is an attempt to overcome this. These are the two main ways of attack- ing the problem of a simpler, safer, cheaper, more economical automobile of the air, both of which have their possi- bilities, and we may look forward to seeing more of them in the future than we have up to date. :ii 2? lRefo's Auitoiinrmtiifc Geiar Slhiilfit Flow lt wlvoiriss In the Reo self-shifting transmission, the conventional gear-shift lever is replaced by a selector control below the dash and connected to the transmission by a cable. The self-shifter replaces second and third in the ordinary transmission, and auto- matically shifts back and forth in the course of driving. Pushing the selector handle all the way in brings the transmission into the for- ward position, at the same time bringing the self-shifting unit into line. When the selector is pulled out about one inch, it is in neutral, and when all the way out, it is in emergency low. Turning the handle right and pulling it all the way out places the car in reverse. The engine is started and the clutch dis- engaged in the ordinary way, and the selector pushed in, placing the transmis- sion in self-shifting forward? The clutch is engaged by taking the foot off the clutch pedal. Pressing down on the accelerator THE ORACLE causes the car to move forward in low. As the car gathers speed, at about 12 to 16 miles per hour, the transmission auto- matically slips into high. It remains in high until the speed of the car drops below the 12 to 16 miles per hour mark fin such a case as going up a hill or in slow-moving traificl, when the transmission automat- ically shifts back to low. There is a two- speed emergency low, also self-shifting for use in sand or on very steep hills. In reverse the unit only has one speed. The Reo transmission consists of two units-the automatic unit and an auxiliary set of gears for selective control, emer- gency-low and reverse-combined in one case and mounted in unit with the engine. The selective gears in the forward part are of the sliding type, except that they revolve only when in use. These speeds are controlled by the selector on the dash. In the automatic unit. the lower of the two speeds is obtained through two pairs of internal-external gears Cgears which have teeth on the inside and outsidel. Between these two is a floating member with internal and external teeth, prevented from turning by an over-running clutch. This in turn forces the rear internal gear to revolve and transmit power to the drive shaft at a reduced speed. In reverse, the intermediate member is held by an over- running lock. High speed or direct drive in the self- shifter is obtained by a multiple disc metal clutch, running in oil within the transmis- sion. It is engaged by means of a set of revolving counter weights, which, as the speed of the car increases fbetween 12 and 16 m. p. h.D, are forced outward by centri- fugal force, exerting a lever action, by which the discs of the clutch are forced together, locking the internal gear to the drive shaft and providing direct drive between the engine and the shaft. The advantage of this development, such as making the car easier to handle in heavy traffic, or safer on hills, are numer- ous, while its disadvantages are few and almost negligible. GORDON MONKS, V B. LIFE IN Tl-IE CANADIAN ARCTIC ED. NOTE-These facts were gathered from an interview kindly consented to by G. A. Woonton, of the University of Western Ontario, who in the summer of 1932 acted as historian on a government expedition to the Canadian Arctic. In the remote districts to the north of Canada, known as the Arctic Archipelago, there meets the eye nothing but the vast barren, expanses of rocky, snow-covered islands, separated by wind-rufiied channels, whose frigid aspect is enhanced by majes- tically-fioating icebergs, while towering mountains stand out in the background. In spite of this bleak environment, wild animal life is quite plentiful. Polar bears SOUTH C. I. and seals are found there, and, when fish are scarce, they often attack one another in the iight for existence. Their chief enemy, the Eskimo, uses their skins for clothing. making beautiful designs on the skin of the latter. The rest of the animal, the Eskimo eats raw. The musk-ox was in danger of extinction till quite recently, when a patrol of Royal Canadian Mounted Police was regularly maintained on Devon page sixty-five Island, north of Bafhn Land, for the pur- pose of protecting them from the menace of the Greenland Eskimos. The Eskimos' main source of income in derived from the barter of the white or Arctic fox, which they catch in steel traps, and trade to the Hudson's Bay Company for flour, rifles, and ammunition. Every year, there is a huge antelope trek across from Victoria Island to the mainland, in the vicinity of the north magnetic pole. Many offthese are killed and eaten by the Eskimos. The Walrus is valuable for its tusks, which furnish very fine ivory for spear tips and other hunting equipment. The whale is useful for its blubber. ambergris and whalebone tbaleenl, of which the latter is used for making sleds, snowshoes, etc. The smallest mammal in the Canadian Arctic is the lem- ming, a rodent not unlike our rat. Bird life is quite varied and abundant. The nesting grounds of the Blue Goose, in Baffin Land. were just recently discovered. The tinker,!' or Razor-billed Auk, which resembles a small duck, is exceedinly com- mon, flocks of them sometimes covering a whole island. The natives have a very ingenious method of killing birds for food. A piece of thin wholebone is bent into a tight spring, held in position by sinews. This they embed in a piece of fat, which they leave out for the birds, who readily eat it on account of the scarcity of other food. In the process of digestion the sinew is dissolved, allowing the spring of Whale- bone to uncoil and spear the bird. Another method of taking birds is to use an ivory- tipped double-barbed lance, which the Eskimos hurl with remarkable rapidity. In season, cod are very plentiful. As a matter of fact if, at this time, the Eskimo drops a four-pronged hook into a school of them, he has no difficulty in catching them Without any bait whatever. He also dries a large quantity of haddock for winter use. Arctic char, similar to our salmon trout, is the Eskimo's staple food. However, certain features of Eskimo life in the north deserve special mention. The Eskimos are nomadic hunters, following the game, Which, although abundant, is widely scattered from place to place. They have no regular meal times, but eat When- ever they feel the need. Some of their favourite delicacies are berries, which they find in the fall, and birds' eggs, which are stored in the mud till used. As regards adaptation to environment, the Eskimo is, in reality, superior to us, who claim to have the better civilization. page sixty-six THE ORACLE an . ,. rv- if -'14 A Q-.'lv 1 ye Editor-BUS WIDEMAN, V A. A RETROSPIECT By H. B. D1NsMoRE ONDON SOUTH COLLEGIATE ig v opened its doors in September, Q f t 1922, in the old Victoria School . T at Askin and Wharncliffe. Many changes have taken place since then and the ones with which I am most inti- mately acquainted are the changes in our Boys' Athletic programme. The first school team organized was the track team for the three-school track meet which later became a four-school affair when the Sir Adam Beck Collegiate, then the East Collegiate, was organized. South captured the intermediate shield with such stellar athletes as Riddell, Ellyatt, Hadfield, Chapman and Vollick. An excellent showing in the senior and junior was made, and such a wealth of excellent material was developed that the next year South swept the meet, taking all three shields. The second activity in which the boys took part was soccer. They made an auspicious start and took the city group easily. The organization and coaching of this team was undertaken by Mr. John McKellar, now of Jarvis Collegiate, To- ronto. The proof of his ability is shown in the fact that the next year this team went to the finals, losing to Windsor after two very close games. Basketball was started by Mr. Graham, the present principal, and such stalwarts as the Ferguson brothers, Dave McLean, Hadfield, Vollick, Ellyatt, Chapman and SOUTH C. I. others carried the school colours to many stirring victories. Hockey was also an interesting sport during that winter, and the chief players were Ted Johnston. Bus. lVIcLeod, Had- field, Ellyatt. Appleyard, Baker, Gordon, Riddell. This was the start, but the progress continued to such an extent that in 1924- 25 we had our great year in Athletics. Our soccer team lost to Walkerville in twenty minutes overtime by one goal. This aggregation, made up of such great players as Haysom, George, Sinclair, Mc- Eachren, Campbell, Mennill, Dale, Riddell, Norris. Screaton, put up a magnificent game and were very unfortunate to lose. Their spirits were not dampened in any way by this reverse, and they showed their ability to stage a comeback the next year when they won the senior track meet. Riddell won the senior individual, and his efforts, coupled with those of Norris, Mc- Eachren, Franks, George, Franklin, For- sythe, Haysom, Sinclair, swept the team to a magnificent victory. At this point I would like to pay indi- vidual tribute to Allan Riddell. He was, in my mind, the greatest all-round athlete we have had in our school. He was a star track athlete and soccer player. He played a good game of hockey and basket- ball. He also showed himself to advan- tage in rugby after he went to Western. To him I say, Yea! Riddell! In every page sixty-seven activity I found him a great athlete and a gentleman. What more can be said than that? Great changes followed this era of track and soccer activity. They both de- clined, and for a time we found ourselves in very poor circumstances athletically. From 1926 to 1929 our place in the win column was very small. We were only kept from complete eclipse by Don Rivers, the great school-boy sprinter who came to us from St. John, N. B., and Art. Car- ruthers of Melbourne. a star half-miler. Rivers' greatest effort was at Acton on July 1, 1929, when- he won the 100-yard dash in 945 seconds. beating two great men, Miller of Hamilton and Smallcombe of Toronto. These two were followed by Maurice Shore, who was an expert hurdler and who kept our heads above the level for two or three years with some magni- ficent performances. In 1929, rugby displaced soccer, and the four-school track meet was dropped. Our rugby teams of that year were with- out experience of any kind, but they made up for this deficiency by a determination to do their very best at all times. Success has crowned their efforts to such an ex- tent that the Seniors have won the city group in 1930 and 1932 and the Juniors in 1931, 1932, 1933. These teams have developed some great players, such as Bill Rivers, Ron. McCallum, George McVicar, Harm. Westland, Art McKenzie, and many others. The present teams, both of which are doing their part to carry on the standard of sportsmanship and gen- tlemanly conduct which was raised for them when Thames Park was little better than a pasture and the dressing-room an old shack over in the corner of the field from which the words echo even to this day, Last out, lock up. The other sports, hockey and basketball, went through the same periods of success and defeat as the ones mentioned. From 1923 to 1930 the boys did not have much success in their basketball. The coming of Mr. Freeman changed all this, with the result that during the past four years they have won the city group once and have never finished lower than second. This is a record of which to be proud, and one for future teams to keep before them. Hockey has always been at a disadvan- tage. The lack of natural ice has been a page sixty-eight great drawback, and the Arena is too ex- pensive for our financial condition. As a result, teams have had to go without much-needed practice, and players have not developed as they otherwise would. In spite of all these hindrances some excellent players have played on our teams, such as Getliffe, McCallum, Mc- Kenzie, Dobbyn, Milne, Smith, Ready, Coleman and Dawkins. All our teams have played their games with the same sportsmanlike manner and have given us the best they had. In con- clusion, I would like to mention several boys who were outstanding in our athletics and who have passed on to their last great reward. Eric Chapman and Reg. Apple- 1932, on Lake Huron, were on the first teams we had in the school. Ken Burgess was killed three years ago as a result of an airplane accident, and Oliver Miller lost his life in an automobile accident. These four boys were instrumental in our success and did their part to set the high ideals which others are carrying on. We oder our heartfelt sympathy to their families, and hope that their example of gentlemanly conduct on the playing field will be an incentive for those who are the athletes of today and tomorrow.

Senior Baslketlballil Although the senior basketball team of last year was not successful in winning the city championship, it made a very credit- able showing, due to the able coaching of Mr. Freeman. The team proved itself hard to beat and in the regular schedule lost only one game. The opening game, played with Central in our own gymnasium, resulted in a win over our old enemies. We then went to Tech, to play their highly touted team, which had been practicing since the middle of September. Here we were again suc- cessful and handed Tech the short end of a 15-19 score. Beck were our next victims and were defeated - . We then played Central on their floor and swamped them completely with a score of 28-14. Tech proved to be our Waterloo, and in the next game, played in our own gym, we went down to defeat in a close and hard-fought game by the score of 14-11. Beck almost proved to be a stumbling-block when, in the next game, they held us to a seven all tie at the end of the regular playing time. However, we were able to sink two baskets in the overtime and won 11-7 . Our regular schedule was now over and we had lost only to Tech. Unfortunately for us, Tech had lost just one game, too, and SOUTH C. I. it was necessary to play off for the group laurels. A sudden death game was arranged to be played on Tech's home floor, and here was played the hardest-fought game of the year. With only a few seconds left to play and the score tied at eleven all, Tech hooped a basket, which won the game for them, and also the right to meet Sarnia. This was the third time in three years that we were nosed out of the champion- ship, last year it was to Central in the second overtime game. After the regular season, we had two exhibition games with the South stars of several years ago. Each of these games was followed by a dance, which helped a great deal to lessen the deficit of the Boys' Athletic. These two games ended, due to the clever work of the scorekeeper and timekeeper, in ties. This year Mr. Freeman will again be faced with the task of building a whole new team, as Jim McHale will be the only member of last year's team available for this year. The line-up: Forwards, K.

CANADA ' P1189 luv THE ORACLE Juiiiiior Bastketibalili Losing all the '32 regulars, Coach Bill Rivers was forced to rebuild the entire Junior team. This was no easy job for Bill. as few of the squad had had any previous playing experience. Everyone worked hard, however, and under Bill's capable supervision the team rounded out nicely, the following team being chosen for the series: Centre-K. Jones, for- wards-J. Kennedy, E. Grove CCapt.Jg guards-F. Haysom, H. Barnes, spares- N. Rose, P. Cameron, K. Casselman, N. Patten. The first home game of the season was against our old rivals, Central. The visi- tors, by their superior team work, out- scored our boys, 23 to 10. u Our next game was on the fast-travel- ling Tech team's floor and resulted in a 22 to 8 score for Tech. In a hard-fought game at South, our lads were barely beaten in a 12 to 16 game by Beck. South again bowed to Central at Cen- tral in a close 11 to 15 game. In a home game with Tech, South, by excellent all-round playing almost took the fast five from Tech, who won the City Group, losing only in the last minute by 17 to 18. South ended the season at Beck, 12-10. Although victories were scarce, our boys never stopped trying until the last whistle, playing the game always, and so, Congratulations, Tech! and better luck next year, South! -E. GROVE, VA. SENTICR llslUfCKlEflY The W.O.S.S.A. of London last year con- tributed only two teams to Senior Hockey. those of Central C. I. and South. At the first of the season there was considerable doubt as to whether South would be able to enter a team, due to the depleted finances of the B.A.A. However, Mr. Dins- more. the coach, did the Houdini and was afyle to arrange for some practices at the . rena. In spite of the late start, plenty of enthusiasm was displayed at the practices, and a well-balanced team was selected to take the ice against Central. page seventy S0uth's forward line was composed of Jimmy House, who patrolled right wing, Billy Dawkins at pivot, and Ken Cameron at left wing. This line worked smoothly together and played effective hockey. John Waldon and Holton Veitch, spare wing men, worried the opposition considerably. The defence was extremely strong, being cared for by Dave Kunz, Neil Love and Dunc McColl. Bill Pugsley in goal was a standout. The first game proved that South was. at least, not lacking in Hghting spirit. The regular team, with little relief, carried the fight to Central, and went down to a 1-0 defeat only after a struggle that was exhausting in its pace. It was apparent that Central's superiority was due to a longer training, period. The second game was played about a week later and, although our team was strengthened by more reserve players, yet we again had to acknowkledge defeat. The score was 2-0. The season came to an end and South had to admit being completely routed by its perennial rival, Central. Enthusiasm for hockey at South seems to be on the wane. What is the reason? Old Man Winter must take a big share of the blame. With no outdoor rinks for practices, the training period is cut very short. And the use of artificial ice has become too expensive. This is where the ., +- ,ww - ,--' la- lg , -wi iv-wx.-jfs' ' , ff' .- m y ' - , f gg Nxt ,vw ' ' X-'Y K :YY . I greatest difiiculty lies. If artificial ice could be obtained for a more reasonable price, it would make a world of diierence. A coach could select his material and train them into honest-to-goodness hockey players. However, present conditions make this impossible. ' Let us give this All-Canadian game an THE ORACLE i mil: xmas . l 5 I i EXECUTIVE OF BOYS' ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION Back Row-R. Miller, J.

What about it, South? -KEN CAMERON, V A. ulllUllIl1llfOlI lHioClk1efy By H. BLACKMORE, V B. The hockey of last year didn't amount to much, but what there was of it was of good quality. Owing to difficulties en- countered by the various Boys' Athletic Societies, only two teams were entered- South and Central. After some weeks of SOUTH C. I. strenuous practice, coached by Mr. Dins- more, South met Central in the first game. It was a real battle, but Central managed to net the only two counters. A few days later South met Central again, and this time South netted the only goal of the game. Central, however, took the round by a score of two to one and South was eliminated. South's stars were Matheson and Miller, but everyone de- serves a lot of credit. Mr. Dinsmore held the coaching position and certainly couldn't be beaten. The line-up for the Juniors was as follows: Goal-B. Miller. Defence- Murray, Caspell, Mason. Wings-Shaw, Clark, Meaden, Blackmore.

Sd Snenioic Rugby Shortly after school commenced this fall, football cleats began pounding South's gridiron. It was a great sight to watch the boys practicing. ' However, doubt was on the faces of many. The question arose, Will Coach Dinsmore be able to obtain enough mate- rial for a Senior squad? Four players were all that remained from last year's W.O.S.S.A. City Champions. Was Mr. Dinsmore down-hearted? Not much. He collected a few of the 1932 Juniors that had become Seniors. He scouted around and found newcomers to the school. He even went so far as picking up material that had never before kicked a pigskin. And in these boys, Coach Dins- more found a creditable team. He whipped them into condition. He pounded plays into their heads, and, when the whistle blew for the first game, the boys were ready. South's first game ended in a 1-1 tie with Beck. In their second game the gar- net and grey took Central 10-O. The boys' third game, which was with Beck, ended 2-1 for Beck. South's last game of the series was a thriller. It wound up with a 14-0 defeat for the old rival, Central. Though South was not the group win- ner, the Alma Momlnie was proud of her sons. They had trained well, they had played hard and they had taken their de- feats on the chin. And so another Senior squad goes down in South's history as a real team. The players were as follows: Capt, Neil Love, J. Gordon. G. Holland, F. Haysom, B. Walters, J. Brooks. R. Tremaine, B. Pace, B. Miller, B. DeHart, E. Grove, J. McHale, H. Blackmore, J. Kaufman, M. Anderson, C. Miller. -Bus WIDEMAN, VA. mllVllI1llT1l'liDlI Rltllgllyy The Junior Rugby practices commenced early in September, almost before the classes were really settled down to regular work. Many new faces appeared on the Held, but there was also that group of last year's regulars who did not pass into the Senior ranks. Usually the Seniors take away most of the previous year's Juniors, SOUTH C. I. but not so this year. Although the Juniors did lose a great number, they still retained a good number of last year's regulars, who will no doubt be the bulwark of this year's team. Mr. Freeman lost no time in shap- ing out the team, since the schedule commenced late in September. Nightly workouts were used. Oftentimes the work- out took the form of a scrimmage with the Seniors and, from the form showed, the Juniors should go far in the Junior W.O.S.S.A. A keen iight is anticipated in order that the Anderson Cup may be retained for another year. Twenty-six players were kept out of the large number who turned out. So the regular team has a very good backing. The Juniors are ably managed by Frank Kunz and have as their trainer Bill Pugsley, which all goes to show that nothing was left out that might help them to gain a championship. We are all backing you. So let's go. Juniors! The players are as follows: Doug. Parnell, Kennedy, Thomas, Filmore, Anni- bale, Johnston, Caspell, Southcott, Dowdell. Murray, Mason, Bacon, Cleland, Hanes, Morton, McKenzie. Cruickshanks. White, Atcheson, Rose, Anderson. Grey. Black, Meadon, Wooley, Newton. Til E TTB ck E5111 The twelfth annual W.O.S.S.A. track and field meet was held last 2-lth of May amidst ideal weather conditions. Our track team did not meet with any exceptional success, and compiled a total of only five points. These points were obtained by Jack Kennedy in the Intermediate running broad jump. in which he won first place with a sensational leap of 19 feet 3 inches. He was then invited to attend the Ontario Schools track and field meet. Although Jack made a creditable showing he did not succeed in winning a prize there. One of the popular members of the school. Ches. Hancock, entered the Free Press marathon and won a medal for finish- ing the 25 mile 385 yard run. The prospects for next year look somewhat brighter. as South now has one of the premier half-milers of Canada, Walter Griggs, as a pupil. The members of last years' team were: Juveniles, Pierce Hutchinson and Martin Gray, Intermediates, Jack Kennedy, Doug McLachlan and Ronald Chapman, and Senior, Harold White. -NEIL Rosn, V A. page seventy-three y- JEL 'A TA'Z!TIIl..::. Editor-NANCY SANTO, IV B. fa New idea in fXllile'lics A great many of the students in the school will remember the enjoyable and interesting visit we had last year on November 9th. 1933, from Miss Anne F. Hodgkins, who is Field Secretary of the Womens Division of the National Ama- teur Athletic Federation of America. Miss Hodgkins spoke to us concerning this great movement of which the standards of twelve clauses are known throughout the world. Miss Hodgkins. as a representative of the association. showed us how much bet- ter intra-mural competition was as opposed to intra-scholastic competition. lntra-scholastic competition concerns only a small group of performers in that cer- tain line of sport. whereas we are attempt- ing to organize a programme for every girl. Thus. instead of taking the time and energy of the teacher to train a few, we advocate the spreading of time. strength. and energy to train a great many. This year. our great objective is to create, not one team. but many teams. The Girls' Athletic Association of last year. under the supervision of Miss Mac- pherson. recommended to the incoming executive that the athletic program in our school be changed to stress intra-mural activity rather than intra-scholastic competition. This year we have taken our first step to carry out these ideas. Every fall for the past few years has been used to train and coach a first and second year basket- ball team. This took up four week nights page seventy-four for those in first and second years who did not make their teams, besides the third. fourth and fifth year girls. This year only three nights a week, two for all the first year girls and the other for all the second year girls, are left free for all of those who wish to learn to play basketball. Whereas last year only a chosen fifteen of the second year girls could play, there are now over fifty girls playing. With the first year girls there are over sixty in the inter-form competi- tion instead of fifteen. Every one of these one hundred and ten girls who so desired has been put on a team and is playing on a regular schedule. The remaining two nights are left for girls wishing to take part in badminton. This is being spon- sored by the Girls' Athletic Executive under Miss MacFarlane. There are now over eighty girls who have come out to play or learn to play badminton. These are from the Middle and Upper Schools. One night is especially for those who are only beginners, and those who have never played, but would like to learn. The other night is for more advanced players. In this manner we have begun a very great project-that of trying to find some athletic activity to interest and include every girl in the school. -NANCY SANTO, IV B. Tlie Giirisi party Well, maybe we didn't have a smart time! Just ask us. And our answer will be that it was the grandest party the girls have ever had-and that is saying something. ' To begin with, October 20th was a THE ORACLE lovely night. When we were all assembled in the auditorium promptly at 7.30 o'clock, Doris Blackall, the vice-president, took charge of the party. She welcomed the guests and, after a motion to have a second Fifth Year representative, the programme began. First Year sat up very excitedly, bows Hopping and red noses glowing. Second Year led off the programme with a skit representing our favorites from the screen. Then Anne Gordon and Beth Reed rendered The Big Bad Wolf and Aintcha Glad. Third Year's skit made nearly every girl feel very blue when Barbara Knowles, as the bachelor, scorned every type from the athletic girl to the flirt, finally choosing a widow. Oh, well, girls! Never mind! Helen Wilkie danced, after which Fourth Year's skit left us all breathless, as we watched Libby Pegg, a terrible villain, roller skate threateningly around. Lois Gray danced for us. Fifth Year then put on a mock trial during which the cast tried very hard to say their parts but were considerably hampered by Constable Snatch smashing oranges in their faces, and also strange convulsions which seemed to sweep over them rather unexpectedly. After this very enjoyable programme a fearful initiation took place, led by Beth Reed and Doris Dorland. The poor freshies, after eating salt-filled chocolates and feeling various limbs of a dead man, felt they were a part of us. Libby Pegg led a sing-song after this, and then a tumbling act under the direc- tion of Miss MacFarlane was very ably put on. Eats followed-Coffee, hot dogs and pumpkin tarts. Could anything be better? We don't think so. At 11 o'clock the party was over-the very loveliest party of all the year. -Nom MCENVING, V A. GIRLS' ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION EXECUTIVE Back Row-Miss H.

'gT,QoS,SuA: BASKETBALL that she possessed that rather rare quality, With only six of last year's veterans back with us this year, Miss MacFarlane had a diflicult task in rebuilding the team, but the keenness and pep which were amply supplied by the members of the First and Second Year teams, who were successful in making the Senior team, greatly lightened this task. Although the season 1932-33 did not bring us the cham- pionship. we had the fun of giving the winning team their greatest worry of the season when, for over half the game, South held the lead. This rather unique pep and team spirit, which were demon- strated in this team, we are hoping will bear fruit in a championship team this year. The players from left to right are: MARJORY CLELAND and MARION COX were the two new members on our forward line, and to think of one is to be reminded of the other, for they do their best playing when they play together. Both were Second Year students and the fact that they made the Senior team is an indication of their ability. Marion played centre forward in Creena's absence, and showed in directing the plays of the team page seventy-six basketball sense. In addition, her handling of the ball, and her speed and smoothness in passing were exceptional. Marjory's part was to receive these bullet- like passes without flinching, to break for the basket with incredible speed, and to make the shot-which she did nine times out of ten. We hope for even better things from them this year. MARGARET RICHARDS was one of our regular forwards last year. Probably no member of the team put more effort into improving her game than Margaret did, and the results were worthwhile. She will be remembered most for her ability to pivot well, to shoot accurately, and to com- bine with others at all times. We regret very much that this year she will be missing from our line-up. JEAN WOOD, VIOLA TROTT and SON IA TAYLOR were three new guards from the Second Year team who proved beyond question their right to a position on the W.O.S.S.A. line. Much of their success was due to their untiring efforts to improve. To hold their forwards score- less was their ambition, and ,nothing less than this really satisfied them. Viola's game was perhaps the least spectacular, THE ORACLE but she was always in the right place, and no forward could shake her. Jean's play- ing was characterized by an unusual abil- in the gymnasium, leaving only one night ity to jump, pivot and bounce almost half the length of the floor. Sonia's greater height plus her strength and speed made her very useful around the basket in recovering rebounds and getting them out. The future holds much for all of these. DORIS BLACKALL played as a regular guard and in this position did some very fine work. Because she possessed a real knowledge of the game she made very few ineffectual moves. Her passing was fast and good and her intercepting of passes clever. In addition. her ability to combine with others rather than play a lone game made her a valuable member of the team. EDNA CORLETT came to us from Walkerville. the basketball city, and showed real promise as an alternative guard. Her playing was intelligent and she did her best always. Unfortunately, she is not in our school this year. NANCY SANTO advanced last year to a regular position on the forward line and justly deserved this position. Because of her height she was able to rescue many passes which might otherwise have gone out of bounds or into an opponent's pos- session. Her shooting is accurate and her passes are quick and good. In addition she possesses the ability to combine with other players, and her game is never col- oured with a desire to win personal applause. We are hoping for even better things from her this year. MARNYPEGG gave real leadership to our guards and everyone on the team felt the inspiration of her presence on the floor. It was she on whom we depended in the really hard moments of the game, and she never failed us. Who has not seen her intercept a ball on its way to the basket. or completely submerge an opposing for- ward just as she was about to shoot? Marny gave all of her energy all of the timeg moreover, her playing was con- sistently effective and often spectacular. We are sorry to lose her this year. CARLEEN LLOYD has played forward on our team for two years and has served us faithfully. Her height, which is above average, is a great asset in recovering re- bounds, and many of her points were made in this way. We are sorry that Car- leen has not come back to South this year. CREENA WALLACE needs no intro- duction to South Collegiate basketball fans. For four years she has been a mem- ber of the Senior team and the fact that last year she was the unanimous choice of her team-mates for captain showed the confidence which they had in her as a leader. Her position was centre forward, and from this strategic point she directed her forces. Her height, which is above average, and her speed make her a valu- able asset to the team. Unfortunately she was not able to give us her best last year because of illness during a large part of the playing season. TENNIS CHAMPIONS, 1933 Left to Right-M. Pegg, T. Hutchinson, E. Pegg. SOUTH C. I. page seventy-seven Tll-ENNllS In the spring of 1933 there was a gen- eral agitation for a tennis tournament whereby all assertions of superiority in this field were to be dennitely settled. Under the guidance of Jack Reid and Norm. Farrow, preparation was made to hold the contest, although the two athletic organizations did not support it. The committee decided to take the pro- ceeds Cfeesl and purchase two silver cups, to become the permanent possession of the winners. At this rather late stage in the pro- ceedings, the athletic societies stepped in and, feeling the cups to be too ostenta- tious , decided that it would be more fitting to give school crests to the winners. This called forth strong objection from those then possessing crests, on the grounds that it detracted from their worth. Happily, it may be observed that those who had won this honour most de- servingly showed themselves quite willing to stand by the societies' decision. In order, however, that there should be no ill feeling, a new crest was designed and awarded to both the winners of the '33 and '32 tournaments. The names of the singles winners were also inscribed upon cups donated by the two athletic organizations. We hope that successive years will display as much interest, and that play will be of even better calibre. The winners of the various tournaments are as follows: Girls' singles-Marny Pegg. Boys' singles-Jack Reid. Girls' doubles-Marny Pegg and Libby Pegg. . Boys' doubles-Jack Reid and Harold Carling. Mixed doubles-Ted Hutchison and Marny Pegg. -CREENA WALLACE, V A. lllladlniulnlfzon Badminton has only in the past few years come up to its present popularity. The students of South have never before been given the opportunity of playing in our school. This is being carried on under the auspices of the Girls' Athletic Asso- ciation. The equipment has been bought to enable every girl to take part in the game. The rudiments of the game are being taught under the capable leadership of Miss Hilliard and Miss MacFarlane. On account of the large number of girls who wish to play, the association has per- mitted two nights a week for this sport. We hope that this new scheme may be successful and that a large number of girls will avail themselves of this oppor- tunity to play badminton. ODE TO POSTURE . Good posture is an asset l .
