Redaldeur - - Helen Trace Lehrerin Reclaldeur: Frlsiulein Macpherson Das Sped von Schach nw Suobeck N der kleinen, schonen Stadt Strobeck, in den Hartzen Bergen spielt jedermann das alte Spiel Von Schach. Die kleinen Kinder lernen im Kindergarten die Spielregeln. Sie tragen in die Schule ihre Schachbretter so naturlich wie die kanadischen Kinder ihre Bucher tragen. Man lehrt sie das Spiel jede Woche wahrend drei Monaten des Jahres- Januar, Februar, und Marz. Die Kinder gehen in die Schule jeden Monat des Jahres. aber im Sommer haben sie Stunden nur im Vormittag. Im Nachmittag arbeiten sie in den Feldern, Weil die blosse Industrie die Land- Wirtschaft ist. Diese ist die Sage von der Quelle von Schach. Als Heinrich II von Deutschland ordnete, dasz man einen gewiszen Baron ins Gefangnis wirft. wurde der Gefangene zu einem Turm in der Mitte der Stadt genommen. Hier lernte der konigliche Gefangene bald Schach spielen, um die langen Stunden zu verbringen, und er wurde dafur sehr interessiert. Er zeichnete einen Schachbrett auf der Diele von seinem Kerker, und machte Schachfiguren aus Holz. Weil er allein spielen muszte, machte er seine linke Hand den Gegner von seiner rechten. Bald Wurden die Bauern, die die Tur von Zwciundvicrzig seiner Zelle huteten, fur das Spiel interessiert. Der Baron lehrte sie es spielen. Sie lehrten ihre Frauen und Kinder. Gleich erstreckte sich der Ruhm von Strobeck uber dem ganzen Deutschland. Schwarmerische Spieler kamen von allen Richtungen an. um mit den Land- mannern zu konkurrieren, und die meisten von ihnen gingen geschlagen ab. Uberall wo Leute in Strobeck fur Unter- haltung und Erfrischung gehen, finden sie Schachbretter und Figuren zum Vergnugen. Die ganze Stadt lebt Schach Von fruh bis abend, Menschenalter nach Menschenalter. -Dorothy Rogers, V B. MUNCHEN OR dem Groszen Krieg wurde Munchen die Hauptstadt von Bayern, eine Stadt von der Kunst und der Kultur ohne modernen Ehrgeiz. Es war nicht in der Handelswelt besonders wichtig. Heute ist es eine emsige politische und kommerzielle Stadt, Welche taglich immer geschaftiger wird. Adolph Hitler und seine Nazis waren fur diese Veranderung meistens verantwortlich. Da Hitler in der sudlichen Gegend geboren war, wollte er naturlich Munchen die neue Hauptstadt Deutschlands machen. Er errichtete das Hauptquartier in Munchen und viele Nazi- Fuhrer kamen da, uni zu wohnen. Dieser Einflusz der Bevolkerung liesz die Rader von der Industrie drehen. Bald muszte man Raum fur die Ankomm- linge machen: also wurden Viele Gebaude mit ausgedehnten Grunden errichtet. Sie folgten nicht den Amerikanern, die Himmelkratzer mit vielen Stockwerken bauten. Die Grosze davon war maszig, aber sie konnten sie im Notfalle Vermehren. Heute richtet man neue fortwahrend auf. Obgleich Munchen eine nolitische und indus- trielle Stadt ist. hat es auch Museen, Universi- taten und Paliiste von der Kunst und der Musik. Seine Lage in einem Tal Voll von Naturschonheiten mit den Alpen nicht weit entfernt macht es sehr anziehend. Man denkt, dasz Munchen in der Kunst und dem Vernugfen auch Wien ubertreffen wird. Das neue Munchen hat nichts Von dem alten Zauber verloren. aber ist modernisiert und erweckt geworden. Es War Weissagt. dasz. obschon Munchen zu verfallen schien, es die bedeutendeste politische Stadt werden wurde. Dieses Ver- sprechen scheint auf dem Weg' zur Erfullung zu sein. -Jean Jarmain, IV C.

F5132 CBD Editeur: Barbara Govan, Editrice Consultante: Mile. Macpherson LES SAGES Fous de Gotham OUT le monde a entendu parler des sages fous de Botham. Mais, peut-etre, ne savons-nous pas qui ils etaient, ni ou Gotham se trouve, ni ce que signifie exactement Les Sages Fousf' Voici l'histoire: Gotham est un village de Nottinghamshire, et un jour sa Majeste. le roi Jean d'Angleterre, qui allait vers la ville de Nottingham, ordonna que ses aides passassent a travers le pre cle Gotham. Alors on croyait ces jours-la que toute la terre par ou le Roi pasasit, devenait une route publique. Les gens de Gotham, qui se tenaient a leur pre, s'arrange- rent pour empecher le Roi Jean de le passer. Le Roi. rendu fache par leurs facons, envoya ses officiers pour faire une enquete dans le village. Quand les officiers arriverent. ils trouverent oueloues-uns des habitants qui criaient et faisaient de bruit au bord d'un petit lac. Ils tenaient une anguille au bout d'une ficelle et essavaient, disaient-ils. de la noyer dans le lac. Ils en virent d'autres qui faisaievit rouler des fromages le long de la route. Ils dirent c1u'ils envoyaient leurs fromages au marche de Nottingham. Les autres habitants du village se con- duisaient dans une facon egalement ridicule. Les otiiciers partirent at moitie amuses et at moitie degoutes et annoncerent que Gotham etait un village de tous qui ne meritait pas l'attention du Roi. Mais d'autres personnes. qui savaient plus de cette histoire. dirent qu'il y avait des fous tres sages a Gotham. et ainsi la phrase Les Sages Fous vint a signifier de la folie simulee dans un intention raisonable. -Eleanor Fothergill, V A. SAINTE GENEVIEVE AINTE GENEVIEVE est la patronne de Paris, parce qu'elle sauva la ville d'une attauue par quelques hordes barbares d'Attila. Genevieve etait une jeune bergere comme Sainte Jeanne d'Arc. Elle naquit en 421 a SOUTH C. I.' Nanterre. qui est un petit village deux lieues et demie de Paris. Quand elle avait sept ans. Saint Germain, l'eveque d'Auxerre. lui donna sa henediction. Genevieve. quand elle etait encore jeune. entra dans le service de Dieu parce qu'elle croyait qu'elle avait ete de-die au hon Dieu. Quand ses parents moururent. Gene- vieve alla at Paris ou les gens commencaient at croire qu'elle etait prophetesse. En 451, Attila. roi des Huns, et ses hordes envahirent la Gaule qui etait le nom ancien de la France. Il ravagea plusieurs villages et massacra ceux qui tomherent a ses mains: ei Paris le peuple voulait s'enfuir, Sainte Gene- vieve leur persuada at rester at la ville. en cleclarant que le hon Dieu voudrait les sauver. Elle avait raison. car les Huns ne vinrent pas, plus proche qu'Orleans. Parce que les Francais, les Romains et les Gaulois se reunirent pour defendre la France. ils les vainquirent et les Huns furent chasses. A cause cle l'inHuence sur le roi Clovis et sur la reine Clotilde, le paganisme a ete exile de Paris. La premiere eglise chretienne, hatie gl Paris, a ete connue par le nom l'Eglise de Sainte Genevieve. Sainte Genevieve mourut at l'age de quatre- vingt-neuf ans et fut enterree a cote du roi Clovis et de la reine Clotilde.

When all were present, the program began with the sing- ing of the hymn O God our Help in Ages Past, after which the Rev. W. A. Town- shend led us in a prayer for those who gave their lives that we might live, concluding with The Lord's Prayer in Y unison. The ceremony of laying the wreath at the foot of the cross was performed by the Student Council, and was made very ue, I h f 1 , R. Waugh. M. Gilmour, B. Lee. F. Norwood, T. Parker. impressive Jy t e so t p aying of Handel's Largo through- out. At the end of this cere- mony two minutes of silence were observed, followed by the singing of There is no Death, by S. R. Byles. Our speaker for the occasion was Major R. H. Beattie, Zone Representa- tive of the Canadian Legion, who delivered a very inspiring address. The singing of the hymn For All the Saintsn con- cluded the service. As a witness of the cere- mony, the thought came to me that the sincerity of those tak- ing active part in the program, combined with the whole- hearted co-operation of the student body was ample proof of the very deep gratitude we have in our hearts for those men who fought and died for us. Let us continue to be worthy of their sacrifice. JUNIORTTENJOY T corou RFUL Am-rome i.l,-1 By Nl ury llurlun Friday evening, November lst, was the ever-to-be-remenv bercd night of the Junior At Home. The programme in the Auditorium commenced at T.-15 with a sing-song, led by Charlie Boyce. This was followed by fi welcoming speech by Don Fraser. The programme proper took the form of an Amateur Hour. complete with an an- 'iouncer4Bill Lewis.

The charming fair sex of South Collegiate are just ginger peachy in our estimation. They are beautiful beyond compare- have exquisite personalities, and are interesting to the 'nth degree. Their intelligent repar- tee would be the envy of any raconteur of the legitimate stage. When we of the stronger Q71 sex are in their presence, do they bore us? Decidedly not! On the contrary, we are spell- bound by their unlimited en- thusiasm for the subject at hand. Is it a harrowing experience to trip the light fantastic with these ethereal modern Eyes? Again we say, decidedly not! Their dancing is something which, in enjoying, one can ex- perience but not explain. These few facts are not only at the time of writing but forever uppermost in our minds and hearts. i THREE GAIN I . I I I I I I CITY HONOURS Tom Parker Second in W.O.S.S.A. Marla-loll Cillnnrr Public speaking is a subject which has had more and more attention devoted to it in the schools in recent years, much to the discomfort of a great many students, for whom it is torture to give a speech in class. They blush and stam- mer for three minutes or so, and then sit down with a great sense of relief and with the air uf martyrs who have been com- pelled tu undergo a terrible ordeal. By these compulsory speeches, the contest is nar- rowed down to the usual num- ber of two girls and two boys in each division. In the Senior Girls' Semi- lfinal Contest Betty Lee, Eileen Knowles and Amy Turnbull were those to compete in the school iinals, and Junior Girls were represented by June Deacon and Madelon Gilmore. In the Boys' Contest, Tom Parker and Henry Carruthers were successful as Seniors and Gordon Kidd and Ralph Vllaugh as Juniors. A large audience turned out to hear the speeches on the final night. The contestants were evenly matched and there was much difficulty in selecting the winners. In the Senior Girls' division, Betty Lee, speaking on Has Drama Im- proved Sin c e Shake-speare's Time '? carried off the honours and Madelon Gilmore, speak- ing on The Life of Edith Cavell, was judged the Junior winner. Tom Parker was suc- cessful in the Senior Contest with the topic The Armament Industry-a Menace to World Peace, and Ralph Waugh was Junior Champion with the sub- ject The Passing of the Indian. At Central a few weeks later, South was represented by Betty Lee and Madelon Gilmore, who were successful in capturing both Junior and Senior city honours. A few days later, at South, Tom Parker won the Senior Boys' Championship and QContinued on Page 121
