Extra. og 1? Extra. WEDNESDAY. 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.

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. Each one closed with the pathetic lament- Gontinued on page 4. col. 4 NEW TYPE OF EXAMINATION PAPER FOR YOUR APPROVAL To those young men who aspire to qualify as skilled druggists, we are able to pre- sent a sample examination paper which will cover approxi- mately all the important duties and range of knowledge of the work in a modern drug store. 1.
