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.

SCIHIOLARSI-'llllPS AND AWQARDS UNIVERSITY SCHOLARSHIPS, 1933 The school year of 1932-33 saw the Upper School registration in the London South Collegiate Institute pass the hun- dred mark for the first time. 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
