MCKillup tStaFf Adviserl. 1Business Managerl, Hueston News Photo Note and Comment By the Editors Let us take this opportunity of thanking Mrs. Carr-Harris for the very great service which she has done in looking after the short-story club. She has had to work under almost insurmountable difficulties-little time and the interference of other activities to mention a few,-and has succeeded nobly. Also a great deal of credit for the success of the section is due to the kindness of Mrs. Thor- burn, who so kindly consented to judge them. 1- 'A- if This year we are trying in every way possible to give our advertisers a square deal. So, when next you buy, patronize our advertisers. me -A- -A- The credit for this fine magazine, which we present to you this year, goes to the fine editorial staff which has co-operated to the fullest extent. ul- ak if A school magazine, in our estimation, should aim to be a radio announcer of all that goes on in the school. If we have fulfilled that ideal, by portraying every side of school life, and have in- terested every student, we feel that our magazine has served its purpose. 1- at an We wish to acknowledge most gratefully Mrs. Roses kindness in donating five dollars for the best short story and general contribution. al- 1- 'k The number of poems which have been con- tributed this year is simply amazing, and I hope you will not think that the ones not published are not worthy of it, for that is not so. lt is simply that we have tried to pick out a representative choice of the entire field. 1' 'A' 'k Our thanks to lack Walker and his competent staff, who have so ably put over the campaign which enables us, with the circulation, to put over the Oracle. Good work, lack! xi' i' il' In this year's cover. we hope that we have something unique, something to be proud of. Never before have we had so difficult a choice when it came to picking the cover, and we think you will like this one very much. 'le t 1: Unemployment OST people seem to think that in the past few years unemployment has been at its worst. Some even look upon it as the root of all our economic evils. Alarmists are loudly de- nouncing the Machine Age, with its advent of 12 new inventions, claiming that it has displaced thousands of men. However, let us look back thirty years and see what conditions existed then. No unemployment statistics were kept, but that does not mean there was no unemployment. There was no relief orga- nized by a sympathetic government but practi- cally every family was burdened by some derelict relative or friend. The destitute and out-of-work, who today would clamor for relief from the government, sought shelter with their more fortu- nate relatives. Thus the number of unemployed was shielded from the public eye, while today those seeking relief are very much in evidence although no more numerous than before. The Machine Age, instead of displacing men, as the alarmists claim, is opening up many possi- bilities for them. Countless new industries have come into existence in the last thirty years. The automobile, aeroplane and radio have created new industries whose possibilities are not yet fully realized but which are still broadening in scope. These industries are absorbing thousands of men who would otherwise be out of a job, and recent inventions may well lead us to believe that many other fields will soon be discovered which will also demand their quota of men. -Graeme Cameron, V A. An Appeal for Dramatic Talent UR former Governor-General, the Earl of Bess- borough, who was greatly interested in acting, is known to have said, A nation is incom- plete without a national drama. Cannot the same be said of a school? For a few years past, some of the members of our staff have worked very hard to produce plays, with little or no response from the student body. Why is this so? ls it because we have no one with dramatic talent in the school? l think not. Perhaps it is because not enough students have an opportunity to show their ability, as usually the cast of any play is chosen from the select few. We might suggest, then, that when the next dramatic production is begun the students be given a chance for try-outs for the various roles. This system has proved very successful in other amateur organizations, and should work well here. A Dramatic Society would provide a means for the students to study acting and stagecraft. So, then, come rally round, ye would-be Bernhardts and Barrymores. The play's the thing! -Gordon Kidd, IV C. fContinued on page 585 By H. 8c T. Greenlees FTER a calm crossing of six days we passed Flushing, a Dutch sea-port, at the mouth of the Scheldt. The land was very low and on either side clusters of red-roofed houses were grouped around small harbours. We saw an occasional windmill, too, behind the dikes which bordered the river. The twenty-fourth of luly passed at anchor in the Scheldt, as the ship was ahead of time. During the day arrangements were made for disembark- ing. The companies met for the last instructions and were reminded of the early breakfast at six- fifteen! The ship was dressed, that is, all the highly coloured signal flags were run up from stem to stern on a long halliard. The hold was cleared and everyone was busy packing and labelling his suitcases and trunks. Y The next day, Saturday, we arose at five to watch the scenery through the early mist before arriving at Antwerp. An hour and a half later the industrious tugs had our ship docked at the stern of the Montcalm. Everyone was very excited and after a hurried breakfast assembled on deck to enjoy the delightful music of a Belgian military band. At the disembarkation the only baggage we carried were light haversacks which held the necessities for one night in France. We all wore blue berets with a maple leaf on the side while ex-service men and nurses wore khaki berets. No sooner had we set foot on the quay at Antwerp than uniformed officials, wearing swords and carrying small silver horns rushed us off to the train. It started exactly on time, with only a faint whistle from one of the guards. A corridor extends along the left side of the coach, which is divided into about five separate compartments. Each compartment holds eight people. On the window ledge was a warning in French, English, Flemish and German not to lean out of the window, which we all ignored. Anticipating many new sights, we looked out of the window most of the way from Antwerp to Arras. Among the first things we saw after leav- ing the city were the dog-carts used by some of the milkmen. Sometimes the dogs were harnessed under the carts, while the wooden-shoed peasant helped by pushing. Small farms and green meadows with gay flowers lined the greater part of the route. At noon we stopped at Arras, in a high-arched, glass-roofed station. Twenty busses took the party to a large picnic ground, Le Pre Fleuri, for lunch. We were served cold meat, salad, hot meat and dessert. This was our first French meal. Many found their French vocabulary very useful here, but we found one unsuccessful attempt was enough for us. ln the afternoon a tour by busses of the billet- ing area was scheduled, but we were two hours late in leaving. The first stop was Mont St. Eloi, a small village which Hamilton, Ontario, had restored and cared for. The grateful people had arranged a festival for the Canadians, but unfor- tunately we had to continue our journey. The driver did not seem to know the route, so we ambled along in the rain for hours without seeing anything of interest. Finally we reached Lille. We were led to the Hotel Moderne by a French Boy Scout. Do not let the name of the French hotel mislead you. lt was a miracle that we reached the fourth floor in the venerable elevator, which seemed as old as Napoleon and frightfully unsteady. We found it much quicker and safer to use the stairs. On Sunday, luly 22, the day of the unveiling of the memorial, the sun shone brilliantly. This was quite unexpected, as it had been raining very heavily the night before. After breakfast, the pilgrims who were billeted in Lille gathered at the large square in the center of the city, where they were supplied with box lunches. As the busses were already there, we set out for Vimy Ridge. Drawing near our destination, we passed many people hurrying in the same direction, several riding bicycles built for two, which seem to be used a great deal over there. At lU.45 we arrived at Vimy and proceeded toward the memorial. Numerous rebuilt trenches were open for inspec- tion, while scattered here and there were huge shell-holes with their grass and flower-covered sides. After we had moved up to within three hundred yards of the monument, we ate our lunches in the tall yellow grass, and awaited the hour of the unveiling.

Assistant Professor of Embryology at University of Western Ontario Edito'r's Note: Special interest attaches to this article, not only from the fact that Dr. Macklin is i'nterna.tio11rLlly famous as an authority in her own highly specialized depaftmeiit, but also because she graciously accepted the position of one of our Honorary Presidents of the Girls' Athletic Association of this school. ESPITE the fact that girls' athletics have come to stay, there are a few who lament that girls' sports are unladylikeg that it is not wise for the female of the species to indulge in such rough pastimes as basketball, badminton or competitive games, because such sports make them mascu- line, are not good for their health, and cause changes which make their future role as mothers of the race more hazardous. There is no scientific evidence to back up these lamentations. As a matter of fact, the activity of the young girl of today has materially benefited her health, both mental and physical. ln the Victorian era, the young ladies learned as much as the feminine mind was supposed to be capable of understanding, and sat meekly inside the house, protecting their ladylike noses from sunshine and freckles, playing sentimental airs on the piano, or reading sentimental novels. They could not take a cross-country hike because the high heels and painfully pointed toes of their dainty boots were not fitted for such strenuous use. Nor were their tight-laced bodices, volumin- ous petticoats and panniered skirts, their lace fichus and their elaborate coiffures designed to allow the wearers to indulge in anything more strenuous than a bit of fan waving or a mild flirtation. The novels of that day frequently referred to the heroine swooning. This act she performed on any and all occasions: it was the ladylike thing to do. Girls do not faint so easily today: they have a healthier outlook on life, largely brought about by their participation in the healthful activi- ties formerly indulged in only by their brothers. Another statement, used often about the hero- ines of our grandmother's day, was that her gentle bosom heavedf' This was quite literal. lt had to heave if she expected to breathe, for she was so tightly laced that the only part of her which could move in respiration was her bosom. Ultra slender Waists and ultra large hips were fashionable as late as twenty-five years ago. I once had a Sunday school teacher who was the envy of all the girls in the church, because she 14 could hook her mink fur neckpiece, which fitted fairly snugly about her neck, around her attenuat- ed waist. Girls, dressed in that fashion, could not take part in any game: they could not get enough breath into their lungs to keep up any strenuous activity. Today, all that has changed and the size of girls' waists is as nature made them, and is not reduced through lacing to a measurement six or seven inches less. Nor can l imagine that the girls of the future will ever again submit them- selves to the torture of lacing. A second way in which athletics have helped, although not nearly to the same extent, is the inducement offered to girls to wear a type of shoe that more or less closely resembles the shape of a human foot, and that looks less like the shoe adapted to the bound foot of the ancient Chinese woman. Long, pointed shoes that crowded the toes on top of one another, which made bunions and corns, which spoiled the lovely shape of the normal human footy high heels which broke the arch, shortened the muscles of the back of the leg, threw the whole balance of the body out of alignment and caused all sorts of bodily aches and pains, these have been altered to conform more nearly to the shape of a foot. Much more needs to be done in that direction, however. But at least when she is taking gym. or playing tennis or soft ball, the modern maid has to wear a shoe that looks like a shoe and not like an ancient instrument of torture. Some girls are so enam- oured of leaving their feet in the mold in which God made them that they actually wear sensible shoes at all times. Freedom for a part of the time has made them freedom-conscious and they re- fuse to go back into a cage even to be stylish. In the medical texts of half a century ago was mentioned one of the diseases which girls were subject to, namely chlorotic anemia. Today we do not see this disease. Sufficient food and health- ful exercise have banished the chlorotic anemia of former years. True, the young girl of today, or at least some members of the species, manifests some type of hitherto undescribed anemia, since she finds it so necessary to use artificial colour- ing matter to restore the bloom on lip and cheek which a good game in the open air ought to supply. These are only a few of the ways in which modern athletics have helped the health of the modern maid. Last comes the benefit they have given to her mental health. I do not mean that playing games is going to keep her out of the mental hospitals, but the playing of games, tak- tContinued on page 683 War By Graeme Cameron VH W r There is calm, there is peace o'er the vineyards and fieldsg There are birds in the warm, bright skies. And the peasant his sickle and ploughshare wields As the soft Wind gently sighs. Then the War God his ugly rumor spreads Over the smiling land, l At its sound the peasant his sickle drops And a rifle is thrust in his hand. The heavens are torn with shrieking shells, And chaos and misery spread, The stricken fields are covered with The dying and the dead. The War God laughs with unholy glee At the havoc and carnage Wroughtg But an Angel stops the insensate spree And a treaty of peace is brought. There is calm, there is peace 0'er the barren fields, But the peasant is gone, and now Only a mound and a White cross stand Where once he drove his plough. I A Ill! , ,,-..... f' 'S ' -'Y' 2 ii When Santa Claus Was Late BY Ruth B1....-.8 C I have a story now to tell Which grieves me to relate, 'Tis all about that tragic year When Santa Claus was late. That year, as every year before, The little girls and boys Hung up their stockings by the fire Anticipating toys. In their warm beds, fond mothers tucked Their tots on Christmas Eve, Reminding them, in Santa Claus They always must believe. But girls and boys of ten and twelve fThat age of disbelievingj Said, No, there is no Santa Claus, No gifts we'll be receiving. I heard the children crying out, In saddest disappointment, And said, I will ask Santa why He kept not his appointment?,' I hopped into my aeroplane And speedily I flew To Santa's town, a1nid the snow, To see what I could do. No smoke was curling from the roof Of Santa's castle white, No welcome greeting came to meg No lights were gleaming bright. By the great log fire, inside the house, Sat Santa Claus a-sighing, No starry eyes, no twinkling smile, In fact, he had been crying. I went up to his side and said, You're sad, my friend, why is it? And why did you not come today To pay your yearly visit? Then, rising slowly, Santa said, I fear the children doubt me. The bigger ones all say they can Get on quite well without mea This year they did not send their mail, f Those letters that I treasurej, They did not send me their requests And notes that give me pleasure. So I was feeling very sad That they were so ungrateful, Ingratitude and lack of faith To me are quite distastefulf, I said, I know that children say Some things they do not feel. Yet in their hearts they know full well That Santa Claus is real. If you would verify my words, Come get your telescope And look upon the children now, So sad in their lost hope. He gazed upon the children there fThe ones that had been sleepingj, So disappointed and so sadg And most of them were weeping. Ah me, ah me! this agony! Whatever shall I do? To think that I have broken faith With those who love me true! Hi, gnomes and helpers every one, Hitch up my twelve reindeer. Pile up my sleigh right to the sky, Now hurry, do you hear? He turned to me and, laughing, said, You know, I have a date With half a million little tots, Although I may be late. I know that when they hear the bells A-jingling on my sleigh, They'll lift their heads and smile, and say That Santa's on his way. Now little children, one and all, I want you to remember, To write to Santa Claus and say You love him, this December. Our Crest By Barbar Kains, VB. ,Z l 4,41 5 ,4 l T . ff ' 4 .05 X- Q3 The South shield is as impressive in meaning as it is in appearance. The beauty of the design is credited to the fine workmanship of Mr. I. S. cation. The inspiring motto was worked out by Mr. Burns, of our teaching staff. Virtus repulsae nescia sordidae may be literally translated Courage ignorant of base de- feat. Qur translation might then be explained as: the ability to endure suffering and hardships makes inglorious defeat impossible. Vifhen we realize the full meaning of the words, they should become a source of inspiration. The athlete in the righthand corner suggests energy, stamina, and the power to conquer in the race of life. The open book represents the wealth of learning to be gained by all searchers of knowl- edge. The lighted lamp typifies the inner glow of beauty, truth, and goodness. The royal crown and the national emblem about the shield form a patriotic setting. Perhaps the elusive attribute known as school spirit may be explained by the proper interpre' tation of the crest exemplifying, as it does, courage Barnard, a former chairman of the Board of Edu- as applied to every phase of school life. Short Story Winners Dear Mrs. Carr-Harris: It was a pleasure to read the stories of South Collegiate again. There were so many intriguing hints of good work to be done on and on in the future. I was im- pressed with the bits of humor, the sturdiness of attitude in standing up to life's possible difficulties, the sus- tained clarity of style, the evident necessary perceptive- ness in small details of writers-in-the-making. And as always, knew a wistfulness and belief in all they may attain. My first choice is THE FATEFUL HOUR by Gertrude Bergey, delightfully nonchalant and smooth in its handling of suspense and intrigue. Second choice is LIKE FATHER by N. Grant Dor- land, marked by good conflict well done in the so-very- popular sportmindedness of the hour. Third choice is YES SIR, THAT'S MY BABY by Wilfred Dicks, very well done in its pleasantly funny and individually light vein. tCouldn't Canadian University names be supplied for a Canadian magazine?J There is a quality of fineness and understanding back of the little sketch MANKIND'S BEST FRIEND - THE DOG, which makes me wish it could have its small corner in The Oracle, perhaps because I love a little dog just the same way and then some. With a little trimming it is valuable, don't you think, as a miniature sketch? Appreciating the honor of choosing the prize stories and wishing every one who contributed increased interest, inspiration and industry for really marked success in their writing, Sincerely, AMY E. THORBURN. 17 The Fateful Hour' By Gertrude Bergey, IVC WILIGHT was falling in Berlin when Anne Carter stealthily approached a dingy house on Friedrich Strasse. Nimbly and quickly she mounted the steps and opened the door num- bered l3. In her haste, she almost collided with a handsome young Englishman, Captain Anthony Cambridge, who, like herself, was a member of the Intelligence Department of the British Government in the pre-war days of 1914 and had been her partner in many a tight corner. My aunt, muttered Tony. You don't believe in frightening people, do you? On the contrary, Anne retorted, I just adore it. But, seriously, Tony, tonight is our last chance. Count Heinrich von Arn- heim has the submarine plans at his apartment. What's your plan of campaign? Could this 'umble person be of any 'elp to the brilliant Anne? Well, replied Anne, banteringly, this time I'm afraid I shall have to accept your modest offer. Then in a brisk, business-like tone, she continued, Last night Heinrich proposed to me and I accepted temporarily. I am to visit his apartment tonight to see if I like it. That will give me a chance to look for the plans. I can attend to him myself, but to you, my fellow conspirator, I shall have to leave the butler and a method for my quick get-away. Phewl Tony whistled. lust imagine Captain Anthony Cambridge of His Maiesty's Imperial Army condescending to remove a butler from anybody's path. You'll do just as I say or I shan't be nice to you, Anne retorted. Be at the Wilhelm Apart- ments at eight o'clock, but don't murder the butler until I arrive. Auf wiedersehen, Tony! Outside again, Anne glanced furtively around and, seeing no one, flitted down a side street and doubled back to one of the main thoroughfares. There she hailed a passing cab and gave the address of the apartments in a fashionable quarter of the city. With a little sigh she sank back in 18 the shadows to regain her composure. A few minutes later she was strolling naively down the lobby of the Wilhelm Apartments, even pausing to fix a stray curl before she entered the ascend- ing elevator. Count von Arnheim's butler ushered Anne into a small drawing-room and announced that his master was in conference in the library, from which came the hum of low voices. Taking in the room with one sharp glance, Anne carelessly chose a seat beside a hot air register, for she surmised that this would connect the two rooms. She pretended to read but at the same time was straining her ears to catch every sound. Sud- denly came the clear guttural German tones, I shall return tonight at l2:3U. The front door closed softly and a few minutes later the tall Prussian nobleman entered. Guten Abend, my dear, he greeted her. How do you like the flat? It's adorable, Anne cried, but could you get me something to drink? I'm bone-dry! Certainly, he answered, and rang for the butler. As there was no response, he went out to investigate, leaving on the table two glasses containing a little soda water. This was Anne's chance. Quickly she slipped some white powder into one glass and held the other in her hand. Confound that butler, exclaimed the count when he returned, I can't find him anywhere, but here is what we need. Deftly he filled the glasses, picked up the one on the tray and drained it. That tasted a little bitter, the count observed. lust your imagination, Anne hastily rejoined. Mine was excellent. Now, let's look around. Anne lingered in each room, apparently to in- spect the minute details. By the time they reached the living-room again, the count was apparently quite drowsy and soon dropped off to sleep in an easy chair. tContinued on page 681 Ramjee's Revenge By Christian Jensen VB. AS RAMIEE was a native Indian, a profes- sional tiger hunter and a dead shot. Only yesterday his employer, the Watson sahib of the American Movies Co., had called him a dog and threatened to whip him for trying to steal one of his horses. The Indians anger had been aroused: he was intent on vengeance. This night the moon flooded the sandy plain with its cold, frosty light. Ras Ramjee's lithe, stooping form glided noiselessly among the sparse shrubbery, the moonlight glinting on his heavy hunting rifle. At last he came to a large grey rock completely surrounded by small plants and bushes. There he stopped and waited. He knew well the habits of the Englishman. lt was Watson's custom to take a short walk through the surrounding fields just before turning in for the night. Tonight he would be sure to come in order to admire the moonlit plain. Piamjee, his nerves tense but his brain cool, could already dimly discern the figure of his master. Once more he examined the chamber of his gun to make sure there could be no mishap. Then, satisfied that all was Well, he slid the black barrel noiselessly over the rock and waited. By this time Watson's tall white-clad figure stood out clearly against the moonlit background. When he was only 200 yards away the lndian took careful aim, a smile of triumph on his lips. At this distance, a man of his profession could front sight stood boldly in the centre of his vic- tim's white jacket he fired. There was a flash of flame and a report like the crack of a whip. The tall figure stumbled, fell, and lay lifeless on the sand. Exultantly Ramjee slipped back to the house of which he now was the only occupant. Pleased with his success, he soon went to sleep and did not waken till late the next morning. Almost as soon as he was up he was surprised by a loud knocking at the front door. He opened it and there confronting him was a man in the uniform of the lndian Police. His astonishment was great when this man arrested him for the murder of Watson, and took him to the railway station where they boarded a train bound for Karachi, where the divisional headquarters of the police was situated. All night he sat in his cell and thought. He was sure that they could not find him guilty for had he not been clever enough to empty the chamber of his gun and clean it? He was also certain that they could not find the bullet, which would leave no trace in the sand. At the same time, two officers were having a lively conversation in a nearby office. They were the superintendent of that section and the man who had arrested Ramiee. l don't see how we can possibly prove any- thing on this felloW, said the former. We have no evidence of any kind. tContinued on page Stll A Captive Eagle I would that I could soar the sky - Upon un ettered pinions. - yyx A A ' That keeps me from dominions 5 T if 'V O'er which I've reignedg from which, obtained V My daily toll, my living. .

I Literary England By Jean Jarmain, VB. Editoids Note: Jean was the recipient of the Imperial Order of the Da.zighte'rs of the Empi're's schola,'rsh.ip for the Overseas Education League Tour. TRIP through England is ideal for anyone with literary interests. just as there are geo- graphical divisions there, so there are literary ones. Each district is named after the particular famous writer or poet who came from that part. The country south of Edinburgh, near the bor- der-line, is called the Scott country. Scott used to roam about the peaceful countryside near Abbotsford, Dryburgh and Melrose Abbeys: later on he built a beautiful mansion at Abbotsford. He is buried in a part of Dryburgh Abbey which is now a ruin. There is quite a story connected with Melrose Abbey. The wizard in Scott's The Lay of 'The Lost Minstrel', who could move moun- tains and perform all sorts of miracles, is said to be buried there at the foot of one of the stained glass windows. There is just the outline of a cross in the window now, but originally it was sur- rounded by blood-red glass. They claim that if you were to walk along the aisle under the vault- ed roof on a moonlight night, a red cross could be seen on the grave, signifying that the power of the wizard still endured. As we were driving from the border country on down to Wales, we passed through the English Lake district where William Wordsworth lived. For a long time his home was at Grasmere and he is buried there in the churchyard behind the quaint old beam church that he used to attend. Words- worth used to spend his holidays in the Wye valley near Tintern Abbey in Wales, and one can quite realize, on seeing it, why he was moved to write the poem Lines Composed above Tin- tern. The country round about there was beauti- ful and continually reminded me of the setting in Wordsworth's poem Michael, I think these few lines describe it perfectly- Around that boisterous brook The mountains have all opened out them- selves, And made a hidden valley of their own. No habitation can be seen: but they 1VIan's Best Friend Who journey thither find themselves alone With a few sheep, with rocks and stones, and kites That overhead are sailing in the sky. It is, in truth, an utter solitude. Afterwards, we visited Stratford-upon-Avon, whose charm lies in its association with Shake- speare. Right in Stratford is Shakespeare's birth- place, and nearby the Grammar School he used to attend. His home is an old beam-ceilinged place and still contains a lot of old furniture and pictures that belonged to his father. Shakespeare's heavy carved walnut chair and dilapidated desk are still there, and his neatly-kept accounts. In the country outside of Stratford was Anne Hathe- ways cottage: it was just the dream haven that it is pictured. Here Shakespeare would come to court his lady love. In the drawing-room was a wall settee by the open fireplace around which were hung various utensils and over which, on the mantel, were all sorts of earthenware and pewter dishes. Shakespeare is buried in the Parish Church in front of the high altar. There is only a very plain flat stone with a simple memo- rial, but his works are his monument. We saw two of his plays while we were there, at the Shakespeare Memorial Theatre, Troilus and Cressiclaf' and Twelfth Night. Troilus and Cressida was very interesting, for it was about Agamemnon, Achilles and all the other famed Greeks and Trojans of that period. But I think I enjoyed Twelfth Night more for I had studied it. The fool of Twelfth Night was the hero in Toi- lus and Cressida, and he played these two parts, which are so vastly different, marvellously. The acting throughout the entire performcmce was wonderful, and when you consider that there is scarcely any scenery whatever used, it seems even more wonderful. Although we visited only three of the many spots in England made famous by renowned writers, we found that our interest in them was intensified, and We were left with the desire to go back to visit the haunts of Browning, Dickens, Hardy, Tennyson, and others. England may well be called Literary England! There is a natural understanding between man and dog, as is proven by the way the dog came voluntarily to man for protection, to become one of the family. A lover of dogs would be lost without the faithful creature to greet him when returning from the day's work, and to guard his home and belongings. Don't be ashamed of your love for a dog, be kind to him because kindness runs strong in the dog's nature. He will show it by being loyal and faithful to his master or mist- ress. Different dogs are noted for different quali- ties such as speed, staying power, strength and gentleness. Intelligence and ability to receive instruction have made dogs the friends of man. Boys and girls who possess dogs know that there is no better companionship than that of these dumb friends. Also, there are times when our dogs seem to understand and love us as much as, of more than, our human friends. -Ted Duplan, I B. 21 The Outcast By Gordon Kidd E did not start when he heard his sentence pro- nounced. He only stood, staring in front of him out of unseeing eyes. He did not see the elders slowly file out past him through the pillared porch. His senses were numb. He only knew that he was no longer a Spartan, but only a workman, a serf, an outcast. Outside the east wall of the city, that evening the pale new moon found him in the same be- numbed state. He had wandered about for hours, paying no attention to what he saw, heeding not the jeering cries of the city children and the con- temptuous glances of his fellow Spartans. lt was growing dark and he began to wonder where he would spend the night. He couldn't return to the barracks again. What would he do? He would find work on some farm, he supposed, and each morning the sun would find him labouring- labouring to provide food for the soldiers who were fighting-the thing he longed to be doing. He was aroused from his stupour by the sound of voices. He would have paid no attention to them, but he heard his name mentioned. Yes, there they were over behind that clump of bushes, three of them. ln the shadow he could not recog- nize the faces of two, but the third! Whv it was Demetrius, his boyhood friend, who had grown so strange and distant of late. He hadn't been able to understand. Yes, Demetrius was saying. He's the only man that could ever have suspected a thing. And now he's out of the way, the plan can't fail to work. Oh! A plot against the state! His best friend guilty of treason to Sparta-his best friend! He couldn't betray him. But, as he was a true Spar- tan, the state came first in his estimation. He must prevent it somehow. A strange voice said, Tomorrow night, after the second watch goes on duty, you will open the west gate for us. Then leave the rest to me. All is arranged. Each man knows his orders. Fires can be started-hostages released-runners despatched to our army encamped not a day's march away. The soldiers who are not killed will be easily overcome. And Sparta will no longer be. No longer be! Sparta will no longer be! The words kept running over in his mind. Treason to 22 the state! Demetrius, his dearest friend! It could not be done! The following night, just after the second watch had gone on duty, a figure could have been seen stealing toward the west gate. Some paces from the gate, another figure advanced to meet it. There were a few whispered sentences, then the clash of steel. One man fell. A guard came running out of the shadows and, after a short struggle, smote the other man to the ground. On the morning of the third day the rising sun found the walls and battlements of the great city in their customary impregnable condition. The daily life of Sparta went on just the same, the strict military discipline, the rigorous training. But there was just a note of sadness. A soldier had died: one Demetrius, who had always conducted him- self nobly and honorably. He was given a fitting burial. There was another unpleasant duty to perform. A serf had been killed and had to be removed. He was flung by some of the servants on a level spot beyond the city walls-an outcast. 9 t The Brook It rippled o'er' the pebbles smooth, Among the tiny stones did play, It glistened 'neath the sun's bright beams, 4 1 X 1 W As, through the woods, it made its way. It laughed and gurgled with delight And, as it ran along, it played A simple, merry little tune- w A soft, sweet murmiring sound it made. The graceful ferns which gently swayed, The blue bells small with heads low bent, The great, tall trees far overhead- All watched the brook as on it went. But soon this joyous life must end, The waters must no longer be A little brook so wild and gay, So full of life and joy, and free, For it must join the briny sea, And reach its destination wide To mingle with the Waters, and Be lost forever in the tide.

The Comet world, beam, By Graeme Cameron, VA. Night spread her soothing blanket o'er the Down from the pale moon slipped a silvery The calm, majestic sky was faintly pearled With many a distant planet's lucent gleam. Then swiftly, brightly, from infinity, Earthward a glittering point began to move As if propelled by some divinity, Its flashing trail entraced a fiery groove. Before that blinding light the tranquil dark Was rudely shattered from its peaceful dream, The comet blazed, then plunging, it was gone, And night's serenity reigned on supreme. - sy fa ' -s, - Q !l rm35Q?hw3A A C gfQg,et- ggi U' .Q-331 T Q I i gil hai sus, Hills. N Autumrfs Beauty By James Sage, ID. When Autumn comes out and scrawls its name On Nature's works of art, We feel we owe it homage For the beauty of of its partg It tints the leaves and frosts the fields With splendour and delight, It blows the trees and turns the yields Of grain by Work at night. It works its way from coast to coast And fairy raptures it does boast, With steady work and worthy toil It thus transforms Canadian soil. 24 But after Autumn her wonders has wrought And beautified the land, Need we give it offerings meek Or congratulating hand? Or should we wait for winter And its snowy blanket white To cover up the Autumn,s trail And reward its colour bright? For Autumn is a working thought And quite fulfils its duty, So why not share the fortunes rare And live with Autumn's beauty. Yes, Sir, T1'lCl.t,S My Baby By Wilfred Dicks, VA HRIS CHRYSLER eagerly cmd impatiently paced the floor of his apartment. He was trying his utmost to control his feelings but his mind still thrilled with the news brought by a tele- gram which he had received a few short hours before. Everything settled Cstopl Am bringing papers Cstopl Will come direct to apart- ment Cstopl F. T. CHRYSLER. In a last effort to secure a position, Chris had applied to his uncle, Francis Theodore Chrysler, who was an executive in a large newspaper syn- dicate. The telegram indicated that his uncle had found an opening for him. Hurry Dureen! Chris called. The old boy will soon be here and he can't be kept waiting, you know. l'll get ready as soon as I get Francis Iunior settled down, replied his wife, from the bedroom, and then added, I'm sure your uncle will be flattered when he learns that we're going to name the baby after him. When he learns that, I'm as good as hired. l'll wager old Theodore will want to send him to Harvard. There's going to be no argument here, in- sisted Dureen firmly. My family was educated at Yale and my son is going to be educated at Yale. We shall see, said Chris, sheepishly. This conversation was interrupted suddenly as Francis Theodore Chrysler, Esquire, strode pompously into the room. Weill ejaculated Chris, I hardly expect . Oh, I know, I know! boomed the elder Chrys- ler. But I was sure you were home, so I thought I would surprise you. With business-like gusto, he started right off. Now, concerning this little matter about which you wrote to me: there is an opportunity for you . if 11'1... Pardon me, interrupted Chris, as he turned toward his young wife who entered the room at this point. Allow me to introduce Mrs. Chrysler to you. After the usual formalities, Chrysler, Senior, remarked in his gruff way that he would like to assist the young couple if he could, and he added, A good number of my relatives try to get around me by naming their babies after me. If there is one thing I hate it's babies, and least of all do I want them to be namesakes of mine! He became quite red as he impressed this fact upon them. As he was about to continue with the proposition, the whimpering of a baby broke fro'n the adjoining room. Wh-wha-what was that I heard? demanded Francis Theodore as his voice half cracked. Oh, er-that must have been the neighbour's baby across the hall, said Chris, and made a slight gesture toward his wife, who would have interrupted him. l'm sure I heard a baby in this apartment! exclaimed the old man, almost hysterically. Well, l'll tell you, said Chris, who was calmly trying to save the situation. The neigh- bours have gone away and left their little brat fcr us to take care of. At this remark, Dureen almost screamed, but with noticeable restraint she said, Pardon me. l'll go and try to quiet the little dear. As she left, the old man remarked, Humphl little dear .... Chris could see that there was trouble coming and he excused himself also. When he entered the bedroom his wife turned toward him in a rage and exclaimed in a low voice How dare you call your son a brat? You even disowned him, called him the neighbour's child. Chris Chrsyler, don't you ever lay your hands on this child again, l'll look after him. You'd rather have a good position than the love and respect of your child. Now, Dureen, be reasonable, said Chris. Give Molly the baby and have her take him out on the porch. We have a guest and we must attend to him. Dureen tried to control herself and finally compelled herself to call Molly. Now take good care of him and don't let him out of your sight, remonstrated Dureen as she returned to the living-room. Yas, Missus Chrysler, I sho will do dat, said Molly. In the living-room the situation was becoming darker. Frances Theodore resented being neglect- ed because of a neighbour's baby and was letting Chris know about it. In due course of time, how- ever, the conversation turned to his nepheW's future position. After a short discussion, Uncle Frances produced the papers. As Chris was about to sign them, the maid burst into the room. Oh, Mista Chris, Mista Chris, de baby am all gone.

The crowd lined its steep walls like ants in a brown sugar-bowl. The band played stirring marches and the players hunched on the bench in their cowls, looking for all the world like pious monks. The sky was monotonously gray. Soon the linesmen and the referee and the umpire came on the field. Then one team lined up in a solid wall, and the other scattered well back toward their goal. The whistle shrilled and the ball spun end over end. lt ctxme down on the l5-yard line and a great hulk of a fellow caught it as you would a delicate baby. He zigzagged his way up-field until he was downed on the 40. The crowd was now standing and yelling itself hoarse. The teams lined up, nose to nose. The ball was snapped and the big fellow went through to the 48. On the next play the same player took the ball on a fake reverse and went through the line for six yards more and a first down. The big fellow was Iohnny Williams, star backfield man of the team. He had a way of lifting his knees high, like pistons, and a knack of getting his great bulk to move quickly in a few yards. Watching him intently were two men who sat high in the stands on the left side of the field. One was a short, ruddy-faced man with high cheek-bones. The other man was big, and had soft, sentimental eyes. lf you knew Iohnny, you would know this was Father. Every time his son carried the ball, Old Wil- liams swung and dodged with the boy. He squirmed and twisted in his seat. He half straight- armed the man who sat beside him. When Iohn Williams had double-tracked him- self to the ll-yard line, the other team called time out. Old Williams turned to his neighbour. lsn't he a pip'? he shouted. Isn't that kid of mine a honey? The little man grinned. He's there all right, he said. You oughta be right proud of him. You know, said Williams, I think that kid of mine is as good a football player as I ever was. I He watched his son wiggle through a deter- mined wall of men. Two seconds later he was 26 over for a touchdown and five points. The try for a convert was a failure. Old Williams rubbed his chin. Y' know something, Pete? Back in the days when we played on this team, they'd have called us sissies if we heaved the ball around like they do today. When you were quarter and l was playing halfback, we hugged that football and it was nothing if we came off the field with a busted nose or collarbone. Today the kids have suits of armour and the book is so full of rules that nobody knows what's legal. Ain't it the truth? sighed Pete. Those were the good old days. Old Williams watched the kick-off, which was returned far past middle field. He stood up to watch his boy chase the ball carrier down the field. lohn tried a flying tackle. But he merely scraped his man's ankles, and the touchdown was over. The place-kick was good and the score at half time was the same, 6-5 in favour of the opposition. The band stepped out and paraded down the field. Old Williams brought out a small flask and the two men drank to the boy's success. After intermission, they watched the teams line up again-and both admitted that, old as they were, they would probably half-kill these kids, if they were in the game. At the end of the third quarter the score was still 6-5. lohnny had limped to the bench after a pile-up in that quarter-but now, as the fourth quarter opened, he came prancing back on the field and reported to the referee. The mob in the stands screamed for a touch- down. Old Williams was full of good cheer and fair rye. The years melted from the old man's frame as he watched his son go places. The boy had renewed vigour now, and he found gaping holes in the line as he plunged through for gains. Now and then, others in the backfield carried the ball. But most of the heavy work was done by Iohnny. With four minutes to go, his team lost the ball on downs. The stands groaned. It looked to be all over now. But the opposition elected to gamble. tContinued on page 601 Take Time To Read EyWi11iam O1msted,IIIC. Hround The World In Eleven Years By Patience, Richard and lohn Abbe HlS is an amusing autobiography written by three children who, after spending some ten years roaming around Europe, have come to America to make pictures in Hollywood for our future enjoyment. Their mother was Polly Platt, a stage actress. Their father is a photographer for many leading European and American newspapers. He con- tinually rushes from place to place and leaves his family to straggle along after him as best they can. The fortunes of the Abbes fluctuate like the stock quotations of Wall Street. One day they are very wealthy, living in a fine home, and the next they are out on the street without a penny. Patience, the eldest, is eleven years old, Iohn nine years and Richard seven. They are ex- tremely intelligent, witty children. They have attended school in America, Russia, France and Germany and speak several languages. They write their tale in a very frank and humorous manner, even telling of the frequent quarrels of their mother and father. Although most of their story is written with childlike simplicity, one wonders at the philosophy expressed here and there. During the course of their travels they have met many famous people, such as Lilian Gish, Adolph Hitler, President Roosevelt, Ronald Col- man, Stalin and hosts of others. They give their opinion of these famous folk quite frankly. The book has become one of the best sellers of the year. I certainly recommend it for entertaining reading. -Bill Olmsted, Ill C. Away To The Gaspe By Gordon Brinley F you are looking for a book that is interesting, humorous, and yet at the same time educa- tional, let me recommend Away to the Gaspef' Throughout the story, the author carries you in your imagination with The Duchess and Don in their faithful phaeton, Sally, on a summer vacation trip from the New England States to the Gaspe Peninsula. Many amusing incidents happen while the young couple are camping along the Way. One time Faithful Sally belies her nickname by leaving the Duchess and Don stranded, and the two are forced to bathe in alcohol and drink orange juice. On their trip they pass through all sorts of small villages, many of which are not well known, but your interest is keenly aroused in them by the Duchess' detailed history of them. Gordon Brinley has combined fiction and travel very successfully to make Away to the Gaspe- enjoyable reading. -Olive Eviscn, HIC. The Forbidden River By Harold Bindloss The Forbidden River! The very name sug- gests the mysterious glamour of this exciting West African tale, whose setting is the impene- trable jungles throbbing with the eerie beat of the hollow-sounding tom-toms. Frenzied lu-ju men and maniacal witch- leopards had instilled a cruel mortal fear into the hearts of superstitious bushmen, suddenly hold- ing the flow of trade to the white man's factory at the river mouth. A young, adventurous Englishman, wise in the ways of the jungle, undertakes, accompanied by the young nephew of the rich factory owner, the arduous task of opening up the tabooed river for the native's dugouts, which bring wealth to the white man in the form of palm-oil. Their encounters with the savage tribes of the fear-ridden bushland and the success of their thwarting of the cunningly set traps of the black men's attempts against their lives, form a contrast to the peaceful romance which finds its way even into the wilds of darkest Africa, to save the life of one adventurer and to be the foundation for the building of the fortunes of another. -Bill Nichols, Ill C. Gino Watkins By I. M. Scott Gino Watkins is the story of the young explorer, written by his closest friend and explor- ing companion. Although he was only in the middle of his twenties when he died, he had already made a name for himself which ranks with the explorers of all times. The story of the four Watkins expeditions, one to Labrador and three to the Arctic, is the story of exploring under great hardships. They were small expeditions and poorly financed, but the knowledge of the men, and the quality of their instruments, made up for it, and they have made many useful contributions to modern geographical knowledge. The book is very interesting throughout, and contains many photographs, maps and extracts from Gino Watkins' diary. In this book the reader is shown that the thrills and hardships of explora- tion did not cease with the advent of the steamship and the aeroplane. -Fred Chesharn, V B. 27 War Memoirs of David Lloyd George HIS story, based on unrivalled knowledge and experience, is written with the characteristic vigour and vividness of this well-known author, and is accurately documented at every contro- versial point. These memoirs of Britain's War-time Premier make a narrative of enthralling interest and a record of incalculable historical importance. ln his treatment of the problems and person- alities of the war, Mr. Lloyd George never for a moment indulges in personal recrimination nor polemic extravagances. He gives a gravely measured account of the momentous transaction in which he was always a leading personality, lf these memoirs, in their ultimate effect, are a spirited, or even a glorified version of his own actions and policies, that is inevitable in the per- sonal story of one who was without doubt the master-genius of the war, and whose judgment was almost invariably sustained in the light of later events. Mr. Lloyd George's narrative is of immense value for its clear definition of affairs in England and on the continent during the crisis of the war and its aftermath. lt contains mellow and restrained, but often damaging, comments on the major personalities of the time. lt presents a par- ticularly vivid picture of the struggle that took place between official minds which were deep fixed in the rut of set ideas, and minds which were nimble and powerful enough to break down established customs and so release the full energies of a modern community of war. For those who wish to gain further enlighten- ment about the political question in England, the equipping of armies, the plight of the Russians, and other allied questions, l heartily recommend this book and vouch for its thoroughly interesting content. -Don Kerr, lll C. The Story of a Prophecy By Harry Iames Forman Prophets have always been with us and will continue to be as long as there are human beings on this earth. Henry Iames Forman reveals in his book The Story of Prophecy an absorbing and almost unbelievable account of those remarkable humans who are blessed with second sight. This gift has enabled them to prophesy correctly such varied episodes as the birth and fate of Napoleon Bona- parte three hundred years before he was born. The proper name and description of every Pope from lO94 A.D, to the present time is a proof of their unerring ability. Other strange and fantastic prophecies foretold by the uncanny powers of prophets were the World War and the assassina- tion of Dolfuss, the dictator of Austria. These are only a few of the hundreds of other events which have affected the lives of millions. Among the predictions of the future is the banishment of Mussolini from ltaly in l9377 the second Russo-Iapanese war will commence in l938 and Russia will be the victory Fascism will never succeed in Spain, and the Kaiser's fourth son will be restored to the throne of Germany. Such are the things that are revealed forcefully in Henry Iames Forman's most unusual and inter- esting book. -George Aziz. J A Boy s Dream of Treasure Bv John Bowey, in.

Trace, M. Smihsrt HE publication of the University of Western Ontario scholarship awards in May of 1936 brought considerable satisfaction to the students and staff of the London South Collegiate Institute. No less than ten South graduates were :found among those winning honours at Western, To these and many others whose work was of a high standard, although winning no scholarships, we tender our heartiest congratulations and our best wishes for continued success while in Uni- versity, and for even greater success later when they enter the business or professional world. This year, four of the graduating class left South, with Honour Matriculation awards, to join the group already earning recognition in their courses. The University of Western Ontario scholarship for highest standing in the subject of French, valued at 515000, was won by Helen Trace. Another of the same value, for highest standing in English, was won by Lloyd Stevenson. The Special Tuition scholarship for highest stand- ing on nine papers, valued at iB250.00, was the award to Marie Smibert. The fourth award 'was a Brescia Hall partial residence scholarship, 'valued at 315000, won by Myrtle Carruthers. To 'these four, as well as to others of our Collegiate gradu- ates of 1936, who have now entered on University or other more advanced courses, we extend our very highest hope that the splendid work done at South may be only a suggestion of much greater achievements still to come. Whislcard Scholarships and Other Prizes, 1936 The late Mr. T. G. Whiskard left an endow- ment to the London Collegiate Institutes, the in- terest frorn which is available to provide cash scholarships for each of the Collegiate Institutes. London South's share of this interest, S,Sl25.00, is used to provide a group of seven Whiskard Scholarships. These scholarships, supplemented by the group of medals donated each year by members of our Collegiate Parents' Association and other staunch friends, provide our Collegiate Institute with a splendid group of prizes. ln this way, much appreciated recognition is given to exceptional accomplishment on the part of stu- dents in all branches of school activity - aca- demic, literary and athletic. May we, once more, express our most sincere gratitude for this con- tinued expression of interest from our very loyal friends. Two scholarships, each of a value of 352000, were awarded to the students who ranked first and second on the regular fourth year subjects: won by Christian Iensen and Graeme Cameron. Two scholarships, each of a value of 952000, were awarded to the students of the third year who ranked first and second on the five depart- mental papers, Latin and either French or Ger- man: won by Madelon Gilmour and lune Deacon. Two scholarships, each of a value of 261500, were awarded to the two students of the second year who had made the highest and second high- est averages on the work required for Matricula- Hueston News Photo Back Row-J.

These birds are commonly considered cruel, merciless bullies who swoop silently down cn defenceless victims. This is a travesty of jus- tice, for just as Worms form the food of robins, so small animals form the chief food of hawks and owls. In the last few years there has been a general slaughter of hawks and owls with dire results. Last year the irreparable damage done to trees in the form of girdling mounted into thousands of dollars. This was traced to the unnatural surviv- ing increase of the rodent population due to the attempted extermination of hawks and owls, who eat these mammals. It is only in a time of famine or of direct neces- sity that a hawk will steal a chicken or kill some small bird. Contrary to common gossip, there is no such bird as a chicken hawk that feeds on chickens exclusively. Hawks should not be destroyed because somebody found the remains of his chicken mysteriously behind the barn. The creation of hawks and owls is nature's method of keeping down the rodent population. Naturalists have calculated that a pair of meadow mice may have as many as seventy-seven off- spring in a year. Hence, the next time you notice a tree that has been killed by girdling, spread the password, Protect the Hawks and Owls. -Gertrude Bergey, IV C. The Priceless Orchid HEN the Queen of Sheba planned her visit to Solomon it occurred to her that, as a gift to a king, neither gold nor spices were original. Dozens of curious and elaborate suggestions were made, but none of them seemed to strike her fancy. Finally, one of her handmaidens timidly sug- gested orchids. , The queen brought orchids with her. She cut down all the trees on which they grew, and carried them with her, so that her caravan resembled nothing so much as an advancing forest. King Solomon smelled their faint, yet unforgettable perfume, and admired their colours, so delicate and yet so full of character: he was ensnared by the slim throats and petals of subtle sensuous flowers. Their lure has outlived time. The precious stones of Solomon's time, beryl, chalcedonny and jasper have buried their magic in the tombs of forgotten kings, but the loveliness of orchids still lives. Fortunes are spent on them: one orchid may cost from five to five thousand dollars, depending on its rarity. Whole lives are spent collecting and hunting them. The harrowing experiences of the orchid hunters who go to the pest-infested jungles of South America, Sumatra, Borneo or Madagascar for rare varieties make big- game hunting and Arctic exploring seem unevent- ful and tepid pastimes. But the songless sirens who repay with only aloof, chiselled beauty, demand life, death and constant fidelity from their enchanted vassals. -Gilbert Morrison. Fungi FTEN we hear of bird-hikes, wild-flower hunts and insect collections, but seldom do we hear even an enthusiastic phrase about fungi. These lowly little plants are to be found every- where, growing where other life could not exist. There are two forms of fungi, one of which is very injurious, and is known to the world as parasitic. lt destroys our grain and blemishes our fruit and only partially repays the damage by the destruc- tion of insect pests. The other form, however, saprophytic, is most interesting if intensely studied. There is no other form of plant life just like it. None of its parts are green, nor does it breathe by lungs, but by gills, or pores. Food cannot be changed into starch or sugar by the fungi, but must be taken in a prepared state from a decaying plant or animal. They are reproduced by small dust-like spores, instead of by seeds. Thus, in the three essentials, breathing, food and reproduction, fungi are in a class by themselves. There are two classes of saprophytic fungi, namely: gill and pore. Each grows from mycelium -a cluster of white fibres which absorb food for the plant: but one variety breathes by gills, the other by pores. Some grow on the bark of trees in the form of brackets, some as puffballs, toadstoods, mushrooms, shaggy mains, and many others. All are so different and yet so alike. One of the leading authorities on fungus- growth in North America lives in our own city, even in our own part of the city. Perhaps you have guessed to whom I refer. He has found in the study of these unobtrustive little plants a very real source of interest and fascination. The name of this distinguished authority is Dr. Deafness. All over North America his name is known and respected. -Iune Deacon, IV C. tContinued on page 607 31 Beryllium EBYLLIUMI that previous little known metal has finally yielded many of its secrets to science after seventeen years of intensive research. lt has exerienced a life history much like that of aluminum. Valued at S3225 a pound in l930, the cost of beryllium has slowly dropped to S340 a pound in l936, on account of the many improvements in mining and processing this metal. Beryl, from which beryllium is produced, is found chiefy in granite called pegmatite. The supply of beryl comes mostly from British India, although Brazil, Argentina and South Africa also seem to be important. Beryllium is extracted in an electric furnace which must be kept constantly at l,400 degrees centrigrade. Recently, in the United States, a forward step that has been made in the achievement of cheaper beryllium alloys is the production of beryllium-copper directly by electrolysis without the pure metal stage. The characteristics of beryllium are surprising. lt is a brittle, steel-gray metal possessing great strength and lightness. The pure metal is almost as hard as quartz and cuts glass easily. lt is lighter than magnesium and about one-third the weight of aluminum. However, its most amazingz properties occur in its compounds. An alloy of 30? copper and 702, beryllium is stronger than carbon steel. One to two and one- half per cent of beryllium in copper alloys greatly increases their hardness, toughness and resist- ance against fatigue. Bolling and drawing these alloys at certain temperatures improves their qual- ities to a very high degree. A beryllium-copper wire, hard drawn, withstood a pull of l08,000 pounds per square inch, but heat-treatment increased its strength to withstand l90,000 pounds per square inch. The hardness of beryllium alloys is proportional to the beryllium content and, strangely enough, is increased by cold-working as well as heat-treatment. These alloys are as resistant to corrosion as Wrought copper-tin alloys and more resistant than the best tin-bronze and phosphor-bronze used for coil-springs, etc., where fatigue strains are high. lndeed, a high grade phosphor-bronze spring failed after 600,000 flexes, but after ll,000,000 flexes a beryllium-copper spring showed no signs of failure! Beryllium is seventeen times as transparent to X-rays as aluminium and is used for Windows in X-ray tubes. This is about the only use for the pure metal but uses for its alloys have increased greatly. The tremendous resistance against fatigue of beryllium-copper alloys makes its production for heavy duty springs very extensive. Besides being used for a large number of mechanical appliances, another of their great uses is the 32 manufacture of non-sparking tools. The copper- beryllium alloy used for these implements is as strong as steel but will not spark. This fact makes them very useful around powder factories, paint shops, petroleum wells, and other places where there are serious fire hazards. There are other huge possibilities for beryllium in the future. Since the conductivity of this metal is much greater than other high-strength metals, it forms a possible high-strength conductor. Since beryllium cannot be brazed or welded, it might be used for pins and sockets for electrical appli- ances. The abrasion resistance of this metal would reduce service charges and fire and shock hazards. Even more speculative is the possibility that beryllium may be alloyed with aluminum. This alloy would provide a very light but very, very strong metal whose extensive uses are quite apparent. Beryllium itself may some time yield to a process that will render it usable in the pure state. Indeed that strange metal may some day become one of the greatest achievements of science. -Leonard W. Wray, V A. Stainless Steel AN began his conquest of rust when the first iron tools were invented. However, the most important developments have occurred in the twentieth century. Today we have stainless steel, that wonder alloy which promises to work amaz- ing changes in every one of the many industrial uses of steel. ln l9l2 Elwood Daynes of Indiana came near to a very great discovery when he melted iron with nickel cobalt and chromium in an effort to make non-corroding spark-plug points. Though various experiments with different com- binations were tried, it was during the next decade that Harry Brearly, head of a research laboratory in Sheffield, England, found the most important property of these combinations-the resistance to corrosion. He was attempting to discover the best metal for the bores of big guns. lt was neces- sary to find one which would not melt or corrode, but at first he was unsuccessful with his mixtures of iron and chromium. But in l9l6 Brearly received patents on the first application of stainless steel to cutlery. ln Germany nickel was added to iron and chromium and this produced a much im- proved alloy. However, it is very difficult to pro- duce this type of steel, for if a single trace of iron sticks to it, it is no longer rust-proof. There are several stainless alloys. Steel used in the auto- mobile, besides iron, consists of 162 to l8'Za chromium: steel used in the textile industry con- sists of iron, molybdenum and selenium. There are thousands of uses for this high-priced metal. However, experts tell us that only the beginning has been made in comparison with what the future holds. Certainly rust will be less of a menace. -ferry Stoner, IV C. Alcohol HERE are many different types of alcohol, but most of us are familiar with only two of them, Methyl alcohol Cor wood-alcoholi and Ethyl Cgrain alcoholi. Wood-alcohol, so called because it is made from wood in the manufacture of charcoal, is used for a great variety of things such as anti-freeze for automobiles, as solvents, preservatives, and as fuel. Grain alcohol is the active principle in all liquors and beers: it is used in liniments, tonics and hand-lotions. Pure grain alcohol with brucine added to it is sold as rubbing alcohol: the brucine makes it unfit for internal use. Wood-alcohol is made from the liquor obtained in the distillation of wood for charcoal. From this liquor, acetic acid is also obtained, which is used in making vinegar. Grain alcohol is formed by the fermentation of sugars and starches and is purified also by distillation. Nearly all of the rarer alcohols and ethers are made froin the two common types. Grain alcohol, unlike wood-alcohol, possesses characteristics similar to gasoline, and can be used as a motor fuel. Its price, however, is pro- hibitive and unless some process can be found to lower production costs it will be a long time before it supplants gasoline as a motor fuel. There is no known method as yet which will answer, so the gasoline dealers need not feel worried. It has been recently shown that surplus citrus fruits can be made into wines, but they are not cheap enough to be used for commercial alcohol. -George Barrett, VA. Radio and War URING the Great War, radio was still in its infancy. Short waves had only been used experimentally, and very little was known about their behaviour in space. Since then radio has been eating grape-nuts, or what have you, and in the next war will begboth a powerful ally and a terrible enemy. One of the most important uses of ultra-short waves in the next war will be locating enemy planes and ships. These waves travel in straight lines like light, but unlike light they pierce both fog and smoke. When they are intercepted by a plane, they are reflected to earth. Here they are picked up by recording instruments which im- mediately send out an alarm: sometimes they automatically train anti-aircraft guns on invaders. A city will easily be protected from unheralded enemy aircraft by a barrage of such micro-waves surrounding it. Similarly ships can be detected and accurately located, although they may be fifteen miles out at sea. For purposes of communication each battalian would have its own short-wave set, which would make it possible to keep in touch with head- quarters at all times. Of course the enemy would receive the signals too, but to keep the message secret a special code could be used, or the radio typewriter, or scrambled speech Cspeech in which the sounds have been garbled, and to anyone without the deciphering equipment would sound like unintelligible gibberishl. Perhaps the simplest means of communication would be the directional or radio beam, which can be focused like a searchlight. To me, the most interesting use of short waves is that of remote control. Practically any war machine can be controlled remotely by radio. As the British experts have shown, an air attack could take place with not a single human being in the planes----all controlled by means of a clever electro-mechanical device which will operate only on receiving by radio a pre- arranged signal. A series of mines, planted previously under a bridge, or in any desired loca- tion, could be exploded when the enemy charges over the ground, sending men and guns sky-high. There are, of course, hundreds of uses of radio for war purposes which are kept a profound secret by the countries possessing them. Only the next war will show us what radio has in store for us. fBruce lackson, V A. Hir Conditioning OST of us, l think, are familiar with the meaning of air conditioning, but for those who are not, the defintion given by the Heating and Ventilating Engineers Guide follows in part: The term air-conditioning includes the simul- taneous control of temperature, humidity, move- ment of the air. The term is broad enough to embrace whatever other additional factors may be found desirable for maintaining the atmosphere of occupied spaces at a condition best suited to the physiological requirement of the human body. Automatic maintenance of temperature is not only a comfort, but also a saving in fuel and labour. Control of humidity has several advan- tages. When winter air is heated, it becomes relatively dry, and its capacity for moisture increases. Therefore it tends to rob the throat and nasal passages of their protective mucous coating. making us more susceptible to the ailments of the respiratory tract, Moist atmosphere preserves fur- niture, paintings, musical instruments and plants, as well as our health. Also, in the cold season, air containing the correct amount of moisture can be lived in comfortably at lower temperature than can drier air. In summer the effects of excess humidity are well known, so elimination of the tContinued on page 673 33 .vllogy v 1, 1r 1 , ,,, ,. - 1, ' ra I 'E -Jr K .Ax 'I 11k1' QsNv.A 'Iv vi vi, .j'.Lufl.1y -U N1 45-mfg: FIX, 4 If ' .. 4 .14 x 'V V 'J ' 'th .

Der Platz, wo die Stadt jetzt steht, Wurde im neunten lahrhundert von dem Kaiser Karl dem Grossenu gewahlt, um Kauimannern und Han- delsleuten in den Gegenden zu helien. Seitdem ist die kleine Siedlung schnell gewachsen, bis sie nach einigen Iahrhunderten schon eine Stadt von Bedeutung War. Durch Handel Wurde die Stadt reich und die Burger ianden es notig, sich mit einigen anderen deutschen Stadten zu vereinigen, damit sie sich vor anderen Landern und Piraten verteidigen konnten. So wurde der Hanseatische Bund von Stadten gegrundet. Dieser Bund unter- hielt eine Flotte von Kriegsschiiten, Welche gegen die Danen, die Piraten und alle anderen Feinde gebraucht wurde. Mit der Hilfe dieser Flotte Wurde Hamburg noch glucklicher und war bald die reichste Stadt des Bundes. Trotz aller Schwierigkeiten ist Hamburg vor- Wartsgekommen, bis es seine jetzige Stellung erreicht hat. Hamburg ist ietzt eine Stadt der Arbeit und Industrie. Der Hauptpunkt von Inte- resse ist noch immer, wie damals, der Haten. Den ganzen Tag kann man dort Schiife aus allen Landern sehen. Der Schiiibau ist von grosster Bedeutung iiir Hamburg. An fast allen Seiten des Hafens kann man die Werften sehen und den Larm von Maschinen hort man die ganze Zeit. Im Iahre 1842 War fast die ganze Stadt abge- brannt und seitdem sind dort auch mehrere Feuer qewesen. Aus diesem Grunde qibt est viele neue Wohnhausr und Gebdude in Hamburg. Nur in einigen Teilen der Stadt gibt es noch alte und fast verfallene Hauser. Diese werden aber bald verschwinden, um fur neue Hauser Platz zu machen. 34 , In der Mitte der Stadt ist ein kleiner See, die Alster . An den Ufern sieht man viele Kaiiee- hauser und aut dem See sind leine Ruderboote und Segelschitie. An einem Ende der Alster steht des Hathaus, ein sehr schones Gebaude, Welches man oit in Photographien von Hamburg sieht. lm ostlichen Teil der Stadt liegt der Stadt- park , der gebaut wurde um der Bevolkerung einen Erholungsplatz zu geben. Der Park ist in grossem Stile angelegt. Dort hat man Spielplatze, Badeplatze und Ertrischungshallen. Mitten im Stadtpark beiindet sich der hochste Wasserturm Hamburgs. Von diesem Turm hat man einen Wunderbaren Ausblick uber die Stadt und Umgebung. Obleich Hamburg eine Stadt vieler lndustrien ist, werden Schiiiahrt und Handel, die in der Vergangenheit so Wichtig waren, grosse Rollen in der Zukuntt der Stadt spielen. Une Visite Hux Trois Pistoles PRES avoir etudie la langue trangaise a l'ecole, il est extremement interessant de faire visite at nos voisins, les Canadiens-Francais. La jolie petite ville des Trois Pistoles, au bord du Saint-Laurent, est bien typique de cette civilisation qui avait son origine en Normandie. Elle est assez difierente de la notre et pour cette raison nous aimons at etudier leur maniere de vie. La vie de tamille est bien belle. Chaque iamille iorme un cercle complet, -un cercle qui environne tous les ideals, toutes les bonnes qualites, tous les amusements de chaque membre de la iamille irangaise. Les Canadiens-Francais sont plus economes que nous. Comme Madame est habile avec son aiguille! Pour elle c'est assez facile de reiaire les habits de son mari pour ses petits garcons. Surtout, si la famille est grande, on peut econo- miser beaucoup or cet egard. Dans ses moments vides la me-nagere pense aux iours bien iroids qui viennent et elle s'occupe de tricoter des vete- ments de laine pour sa famille. Comme cuisiniere aussi la menagere cana- dienne-francaise montre son habilete. le connais, par exemple, une dame qui servait du potage delicieux at vingt-cinq personnes par jour, mais elel n'allait jamais chez le charcutier pour acheter un os de potage. En automne elle conserve des poulets et des lapins qui remplaceront la viande traiche pendant presque toute l'annee.

There was keen com- petition in all classes as con- testants were required to have won at least 75W at a previous festival during 1935 or 1936. The South Collegiate orches- tra, conducted by Mr. S. R. Byles, was eligible to enter two classes, that for junior orches- tras Call members under 21 yearsl and the one for col- legiate orchestras. They won first place in both classes, being awarded 8070 for each. They played the Minuet from Haydn's second symphony and the Parting March -from the symphony Lenore, by Raff. They received challenge trophies in both classes. John Mair was complimented by the adjudicator on his work as concert-master of the orches- tra. In the semi-professional class, also, he was awarded a mark of 90'k for his interpreta- tion of the beautiful Tambourin Chinois, by Kreisler. He was also awarded the scholarship for the violinist showing most promise of success in music. South is very proud of John, and we can see a very bright future in store for him. Marion and Irene Foster gave a fine performance, on two pianos, of the valse from suite number fifteen, by the modern composer, Arensky. Congratula- tions, girls! The new festival was a suc- cess from all standpoints, and gives every promise of being in the future an important event in the musical life of our city. 1936 TROPHIES 1Left to Right!-City Championship, Relay Speed Skating: W.O.S.S.A.

RECCRD ATTENDANCE AT ORACLE PARTY One of the most successful dances of last year was The Oracle party which was given for those who worked hard in the production and distribu- tion of the school magazine. After a sing-song led by Bob Millar and a play put on by the Second Year students, Mr. Urlin was presented with a gift as a very small recogni- tion of his services as Advi- sory Business Manager of The Oracle. When this programme in the auditorium was com- plete, those who wished to dance went into the gym- nasium where many novelty numbers were enjoyed. Re- freshments were served be- tween the dances. As a diver- sion games of all kinds were played at the front of the auditorium. The Oracle party which, al- though very informal, is per- haps the gayest party of the year, was concluded at 11.30. Every one who attends this activity agrees that nothing has been lost but a great deal gained in spending the time and energy to earn this privilege. -June Brice, IVA IV C's. FAME In last year's edition of THE ORACLE, IVC was super prominent. Of course, this year's IVC is not jealous, but just notice its Lawson Little and Helen Jacobs. When the golf tournament was held this fall, Ian Innes came out on top in his division. It is rumored that he hit the ball so hard that the level of the Thames River fell with sur- prise. Of course, we're not bragging, but we are mighty proud of Ian. But the girls were not to be left behind, so they brought forward a Helen Jacobs, alias Betty Turner, who won the junior girls' tennis championship. Last, but not least, come our tumblers Cgenu- ine cut glass of coursel. They were one-half of the group that should have entertained us at the first Literary Society meet- ing. In case you are interested, their names are B. Turner, P. Gilmour and B. Walker. This, my dear readers, is just a beginning, for we intend to paint the school red during the year. Three times and out, and Pride goeth before a fall are just not in our vocabulary. -Gertrude Bergey, IV C. TRCPHIES CF VICTCRY One way to measure the suc- cess of the school during the year 1935.36 would be to look over the trophies that we have won, This year the prizes were both numerous and varied. The cup for Junior Girls' Public Speaking was won by Grace Baldwin, and the orchestra was awarded the cup for Junior Competition at the Stratford Festival. Beside the regular city cups for both Senior and Junior Rugby, the Juniors suc- ceeded in winning the W. O. S. S. A. championship for the first time in the history of the school. The hockey season also ended in the capture of the Senior W. O. S. S. A. trophy for South. We are looking forward to retaining as many of these as possible for this year, and hope that we may perhaps secure a few more to decorate the library during the coming term. AN CRCHID T0 YCU Last summer, having ac- quired a great liking for a most interesting hobby, Gilbert Morrison, a South student, began to grow orchids. Great care and patience are required to make a success of such an undertaking and Gilbert's re- ward is the interest which the entire city has shown in his work. His greatest achieve- ments are two blooms of the Cottleya Tabratica which are light purple in colour with darker lips. Best of luck to you, Gilbert, and may you keep up the good work! 35 Southern Times REMARKS AND REPLIES Jean .larmain has been giving a series of lectures for the past two weeks, following her recent visit in England. . . .

One sometimes wonders whe- ther it is physical or mental illness that causes the Wide- spread facial contortions occur- ring at various time and in various circumstances among certain of the Upper School. We are afraid it may be con- tagious. . . . We are pleased to notice the fine example that our first year students are setting some of the other students around the halls. They seem to be the only ones who have the time to hold the door open for those following. s a Q Our chances this year for having an operetta should be pretty good, judging from the melodious f'?j harmony that comes from the male section of the auditorium. ff e Q It has been appreciably noticed that the crowds at the rugby games have not in any way dwindled since the gradua- tion of some of our former star rugby players. Q w a It is quite encouraging to see that one's vote has not been in vain. Some of the policies most prominent in the last elec- tion campaign, namely the introduction of tea-dances, have already been accomplished, and have proved a very great suc- cess. The students of fifth year want to take this opportunity of thanking Mr. Ireland for the trouble he has taken this year so that the members of the rugby team may not lose class time. He very kindly has held the class at five minutes to one on days when the seniors were playing. 36 THE ORACLE This book is the yearly review of all news Concerning the games and thc students' views, A paper which students and teachers try To make more successful as years go by. They work together always as one Until this paper is printed and done. They've made this ORACLE what it should be, One to be cherished by you and me. -Pat Davies, IIA. NEW DFFICERS ELECTED The 1936 school programme first really got under way when Mr. McKillop acquainted us with the fact that the Nomina- tion Committee had met and chosen candidates for ofiices in the Literary and Athletic Societies. As a result an extensive elec- tion campaign followed which overran all other activities dur- ing the week. The candidates and their managers showed a great deal of wit and artistic ability in the numerous posters which made the classrooms look like public committee rooms. On Friday an electric tension ran throughout the school. It was election day, and the morn- ing passed uneventfully. But when we returned at 1 o'clock strains of sweet Q77 music, accompanied by the loud beat of a bass drum heralded our return. This was the Annual Parade of Politicians iso called for want of a better namel, their managers, and a brass band. This band consisted of the school's best amateurs play- ing many known, but more unknown, instruments. What tune they were playing will always remain one of South's greatest unsolved mysteries. When the bell rang at 3 o'clock there was a mad rush for the auditorium. The can- didates for the major offices were given the privilege of sitting on the platform to make an election speech. Some of the candidates for the Girls' and Boys' Athletic Associations supplied variety by presenting short skits. - When the meeting had ended everyone returned to vote, all feeling that any choice would be a good one. cum cum, cum cum! Those queer-looking words, which form the title of this snort greeting from the London South boys who are at Queen's tnis year mean Won't yield! To one who has only been attending this university for two months, those words fwhich are a portion of Queen's yellj seem to me to exemplify better than any others the spirit of co-operation which seems to dominate life at Queen's. 'lhe greatest of all the many surprises which I received was the beauty of the university buildings. Queen's is really a small city within itself. Alto- gether there are twenty-nine buildings under the control of this vast institution, including lecture halls, laboratory build- ings, residences, a radio broad- casting studio and many others. Most of the buildings are of white limestone and their walls are covered with vines. The most beautiful of all was built by the Alumni, and presented to the university. The initiation here is the real McCoy. Can you imagine Tremaine stumbling along the street pulling a bunch of books in an old battered fruit basket? It would almost have been worth a trip to Kingston to see Miller sucking a nipple when he sees a sophomore coming down the street. Special regu- lations such as these and others like them were in effect for two weeks, but we have to wear our big Scotch tam and faculty ribbon until Christmas. As far as school work goes, it's the same old story. You always get twice as much as you want. For about the first two weeks the attitude of the professors was very hard to get accustomed to. It seems so strange to think that if you don't want to get up some morning you don't have to. However, the novelty soon wears off, and after you take one of the lectures and find out just how much the lecturer covers in that one hour you usually end up by taking the lecture or spending a week catching up. fContinued on page 43, col. 11 DECURATIDNS FEATURE 0F 1936 AT HOME Soft music, the rustling of long skirts, and the rhythmic shuffling of dancing feet-it is a waltz played by Al. Keen's orchestra in the ballroom of South Collegiate. Dim lights soften the decorations which transform the gymnasium, and waft us off into a fairy land of romance. The music stops and the lights are flashed on to enable us to find our partners for the next dance. Is this our dance? Jim asks Betty, consulting his pro- gramme, and once more the music begins. But this time the dreamy strains of the waltz are exchanged for the mad whirl of the Tiger Rag . Now we examine the decora- tions as the lights have been turned on. The trans- formation from gymnasium to ballroom has been accom- plished by two shades of blue streamers which stretch from one end of the room to the other. To give a fantastic effect Jack - o' -lanterns have been hung from the ceiling. Al Keen's much-heralded orches- tra has been given the place of honour. From a vista of lattice work at the far end of the room comes the music which is forcing our most serious students into a mad frenzy of dancing. Crash! Bang! An announce- ment is being made! The next dance will be a Leap Year Dance. Immediately every boy in the room is being bombard- ed with requests for the next dance. The lights are dimmedg the music starts and the weird moan of the saxophone fills the air as the orchestra plays My Solitude . After we have danced for a while and in between the dances we help ourselves to ginger ale and cookies, there is an intermission. Two girls who appear rather ethereal in the half-light come from no- where and dance before our delighted eyes. After this brief pause the orchestra invited us to continue our sojourn in paradise. But all good things must have an end and at twelve o'clock, like Cinderella, we have to leave the ball. On the way home we ask, Who was responsible for the perfect evening we had? The answer is, Mr. Ireland, of course. Southern Times SYMPHDNIG MEMUIRS MR. BYLES CUNDUCTS i GLEE CWB During the year 1935-36 thc orchestra enjoyed one of its most successful years. Many new members were enrolled and some real talent was found. Mr. Byles acted the part of a i'eal maestro, and his patience and perseverance were re- warded by the winning of the cup donated for competition among junior orchestras at the Stratford Music Festival. The orchestra won comniendation also in the High School com- petition by taking second place. The several programmes in the auditorium and at the Parents' Association meetings won many favourable comments. However, the outstanding event of the season was the Orchestra concert, described elsewhere. Among other activities of the orchestra was the annual picnic, held at Mr. Wonnacott's farm. The boys played ball while the girls prepared the lunch. Before the conclusion of the sports, Mr. Byles introduced some new games, which were thoroughly enjoyed. Some of the teachers and former mem- bers of the orchestra were visitors and helped to make the picnic the success it was. The orchestra is already working diligently on harder selections in preparation for the November Festival at West- ern University. We hope for even greater improvement this year as a result of practising by sections. -Ruth Keene, III A. ORCHESI RA CUNCERT INTERESTING PIIUGRIIMME PRESENTED The 1936 Orchestra Concert was opened with the School Song, and then the orchestra played the test piece for the Stratford Music Festival. The next number was to be a piano solo by Hope Hamlyn, but she unfortunately was ill. In her place, on very little notice, John Moir played his Stratford Fes- tival selection. Seldom, if ever, has a more beautiful and masterful solo been presented at South. Our guest baritone then contributed two beautiful numbers, the second of which, Hear Me, Ye Winds and Waves, by Handel, was par- ticularly well liked. Handel at any time is very interesting and Mr. Newnham brought out all the power that the com- poser intended. That old favor- ite, the Glow-Wormn followed. The players in the first dramatic presentation, a scene from As You Like It, acted very well. A very clever inno- vation was employed-a herald, Gerald Goodman, came forward and gave a synopsis of the action. The other parts were played by Betty Lee and Dick White. Bernard Byfield then played a solo against the accompani- ment of the orchestra. A sini- ilar number by Bernard Marsh came next. Not only was the content of his selection enjoy- able but his playing beautiful. Q I Ll ' a t ' .... Q fs '- c I we 1-1- -, M i - n - s Hi- ' 15.5 r' - 1 3' v 9 i . 'AVQILIJ ,. ' , . r i .

Illness seems to have crippled our performers rather heavily, for at the last moment Don Fraser took sick. By a phe- nomenal piece of work Graeme Cameron succeeded in learning the lines in the Casket Scene from the Merchant of Venice in time to act opposite Betty Lee. Mr. Newnham's next two vocal solos were of a more popular nature and appealed to everyone. Mr. Newnhani is cer- tainly a musician to his finger- tips, with a superb voice and beautiful diction. The concert was brought to a close by the orchestra's rendition of the Blue Danube Waltz and Old South Medley. Mrs. Carr-Harris and Mr. Byles deserve a great deal of com- mendation for their untiring efforts, which resulted in a very successful evening. -G. Jeffery, V B. Hueston News Photo VIEW POINTS Some students like the orches- tra in an ordinary way, Because it's just tradition to have a school-band play. Others, though bored stiff, accept it with a sigh, Better be the orchestra than Latin, they reply. Then, of course, some students really take in it delight, Because a certain member when he plays looks such a sight. But the vast majority appre- ciate in full The entertainment it provides, and the fun it adds to school. So, with Mr. Byles conducting, we know that it will be The most outstanding season in in all South's history. -Audrey Russell, III B. Hueston News Photo . . ' A ' h ll, ORCHESTRA 1 -1.

A ,, COMMAND PERFDRMANCE BY SDUTH MIHSTRELS One of the outstanding events at South last year was the Minstrel Show, put on by the Boys' Athletic Association. It was something new in the way of entertainment and I believe it was the first big minstrel show ever put on by the school. We had large audiences on both nights, and it proved an outstanding success financially and otherwise. In the show there were some high-class entertainers. Jim Garside made his trumpet talk and Carl Cun- ningham and Charley Hoare played a duet on their clarinets. Martin Gray, who no doubt taught Bill Robinson how to dance, danced away our blues. wOne of the outstanding num- HDNDUR DH THE PLATFDRM Grace Baldwin Wins City Cup This year, those who attended the Public Speaking Contest were very fortunate in wit- nessing such keen competition among our speakers.

She spoke on Louisa May Alcott. In the Senior Boys' group, Gordon Jeffery and Don Fill- more contested for the Wendell Holmes medal. The winning speech was given by Gordon Jeffery on Newfoundland A very high standard was set by the Junior Boys, Bill Olm- sted and Donald Kerr. The honours went to Bill Olmsted, whose topic was What People Used to Think the World Was Likef' The Tecumseh Home and School Club very kindly donated this medal. We are very grateful to the Wortley Road Home and School Club, the donors of the medal in the Junior Girls' group. The successful speech was given by Grace Baldwin on An Out- standing Woman of Today, Queen Mary. Audrey Russell was a close second. Grace Baldwin Went on to win higher honour and received the cup for her class in the city. We hope this year will see as great an interest in the com- petition as it, has seen prev- iously. 421, lcfff-' Il Southern Times AN AMERICAN UNIVERSITY It is a diflicult problem to describe 1ny Alma Mater, one of the oldest and largest col- leges in America. The University of Michigan is located at Ann Arbor, Mich- igan, about 40 miles west of Detroit. It was founded as early as 1817, and has a 1936 enrollment of nearly 12,000 students. Naturally in a col- lege of this size, the facilities for physical education are lnany, and I would like to tell you something about them. The athletic field, known as Ferry Field, comprising seventy- cight acres of land, has been set apart and equipped for out- door sports of every kind. Sev- eral football fields and baseball diamonds, tracks, soccer fields, indoor baseball diamonds, ten- nis courts, and space for numerous other games afford possibilities for complete pro- grammes of intramural and l intercollegiate athletics. A U IS-hole golf course is situated southwest of Ferry Field. In addition to the playing field there is a new football stadium seating 81000, a baseball stand accommodating 10,000, an ath- letic administration building, in indoor playground known as Yost Field House, and the Intramural Sports Building. The Field House and the Intramural Building are ap- proximately the same in size, 400 feet long and 190 feet wide, both containing ample locker and shower facilities. The Field House seats 9,000 and is equip- ped with an eighth-of-a-mile track, a basketball court, a '75- yard straightaway and pro- visions for indoor golf, wrest- ling, football and baseball. The Intramural Building has almost every conceivable facility for indoor sport and recreation, including. among other things, one of the finest pools in the country and a gym comprising four basketball courts and two tennis courts. Another landmark and well known building in Ann Arbor is the Union, established as a HU social centre for men. KA similar building for women is called the League.1 Here is a place for wholesome relaxation and the comforts of home for the student. It includes a swimming pool, billiard room of twenty-four tables, a loung- ing room, restaurant service and an assembly hall for ban- quets, small dances, etc. The total campus buildings number about thirty-tive and all types of courses may be studied. Ann Arbor is a typical college town with all interests centering around the campus. THE LITERARY SOCIETY EXECUTIVE Back Row-LLeft to rightl-D. Tindall, S. Buchanan, W. Johnstone.

CHAMPIDNS l0SE T0 BELLEVILLE The hockey season of 1935-36 will long be remembered at South as being the most suc- cessful in the history of the school. When the gong ended the overtime period of the final game, it also proclaimed South's first hockey championship. In the First game of the season, the lads from South looked like anything but cham- pions. The yellow-clad squad from Tech outplayed the seniors, the final outcome being 6-0. It looked like the old story of Juniors wing Seniors lose, In the second encounter, however, the home squad made a great comeback against the same team and defeated them by a score of 2-0. The third game was played against the east-enders from Beck Collegiate. The first period ended with Beck hold- ing a 1-0 advantage. During the next two periods, however, Coach Dinsmore's recruits went on a scoring rampage which could not be checked. The final result was South 8, Beck 1. Central was next on the list and in order to speed up the play-offs it was agreed that they should play a sudden- death game with South. The home team proved its super- iority over Central in a well- played, hard-fought game. by another 2-0 shutout. Our boys had now entered the semi-finals and opened hostilities in Stratford, that city of great hockey players. Inspired by the brilliant aggres- sive playing of Gord. Williams, the South team overcame Strat- ford by a 7-5 count. Gord. had a red-letter day, collecting four goals and three assists. In the return game at London, a large crowd of South's sup- porters turned out to see their favourites take a 4-0 decision from the visitors. The fight for the champion- ship was a sudden death affair played in London. Kennedy Col- legiate, from Windsor, brought a strong aggregation bolstered by several players from junior ranks. There was a great turn- out to witness what proved to be the best game up to this point. The regulation game 40 SENIOR HOCKEY TEAM Hueston News Photo Back Row-H. B. Dinsmore 1CoachJ, A. Shaw, W.

Due to the professional game to be played the same night, the two ama- teur teams were forced to wait until this was played before renewing the battle. During the overtime period Ad. Shaw and Gord. Williams scored three goals to Windsor's one. When Gord. Williams scored the goal that clinched the championship, Mr. Dinsmore could not be restrained and nearly ended Gord's hockey career by squeezing him in what was meant to be an affec- tionate embrace. The tournament to decide the championship for the whole of Ontario was played in London. The four teams entering were: Ottawa, North Bay, Belleville and London South. South played against Belle- ville and, although defeated 6-3, was not outclassed in the least. Ottawa defeated Belleville in the finals 5-4 after an over- time period, to claim the cham- pionship. In a consolation game, South held a strong, for- midable North Bay team to a 3-2 score. I think we should all say, Hats off to Mr. Dinsmore! who worked so hard, and wor- ried more than the team itself. The team did its utmost to please him and made a grand job of it. May this not be the last championship team to play for Mr. Dinsmore and South! The line-up includes: First forward line- Gord. Williams, Ad. Shaw, Murray Frareyg second forward line - Gord.

IUNIDR HOCKEY Junior hockey looked very promising when the squad turned out for practice last year, but the players had more than their share of injuries and sickness, with the result that at the end of the season South had not played one of the scheduled six games at full strength. Despite this handicap, the team proved to be a for- midable entry in the junior race. In the opening game against the representatives of Tech, our boys secured a 3-2 victory. In the second game the Garnet and Gray were again winners, this time over Beck, 4-3. Then came the turning point in Southls schedule, as a tie 2-2 was played with out great- est rival, Central. Our team won its next two games against Beck and Tech, and Central did likewise, so that the two col- legiates were now tie for top place. South versus Central, the deciding game, was a very thrilling one to watch, with both teams trying to get the winning goal. Central scored first, but South evened the score a few minutes later. Then, with only seconds to play, a Central forward picked up a loose puck in front of Southts net and made the shot which gave Central the game 2-1 and the city championship. The line-up included: Goal, Payneg defence, Anderson and Ticknorg wings, Garside and Newtong centre, McKenna: sub- stitutes, Moulden, McGill, Bradt, Kelly, Knight, Richards, Smith, Hallowell. Southern Times W. O. S. S. H. at Little Memorial Stadium MURGAN PLACES IN DISCUS The fifteenth annual W. O.S. S. A. Track and Field Meet was held last 24th of May, with almost perfect weather prevail- ing, at the Little Stadium, University of Western Ontario. Track interest at South in- the creased, perhaps due to coming Olympic Games in Berlin. Morgan, entered in intermediate discus, scored the the only points 'for South, placing third, with a throw of about a hundred feet. Moulden, also an intermediate, ran first in his heat of the 120-yard low hurdles. On Labour Day, South's team won second place in the half- mile collegiate relay, run at the Queen's Park track. The mem- bers were: Frith, Moulden, Woolley and Hart. The Southwestern Branch of the A. A. U. is making arrange- ments to hold a track and field meet before the next W. 0. S. S. A. competition in the coming spring. A reorganization of the Inter-Collegiate Field Day would also help to promote track interest in London. The members of last year's team, coached by Mr. Dinsmore, were: Senior, Jack Kennedy: Intermediate, Ross Mclntyre, Alex Hofstetter, Bob Morgan, Abe Frith, Bert Buchanan and Alf Moulden. -Bev. Hart. INAUGURAL TEA DANCE We first heard from the election platform- There will be a Tea Dance no matter who is elected. This promise was fulfilled on November 9, after the rugby game between South and Cen- tral. The day before we had heard such rumours as: Danc- ing from six to eight - No eatsll' Just sounds like some- thing the boys would do! But the Girls' Athletic, efficient as usual, came to the rescue and offered to sell hot dogs and ginger ale. The boys produced the or- chestra, and the only criticism we have to offer is that it stopped too soon. The gym was quite crowdedg even the First Year, who are usually conspicuous by their absence, came in large numbers. The dance was such a huge success that we are sure it will not be the last of its kind. Congratulations, boys! -Dorothy Johns. SIIATING PARTY POPULAR The skating party which was held at the London Arena was a big success. It seems to be the only party of the year where the girls do not suffer from sore feet.

ALUMNI AND SIIUTH High school spirit still pre- vails among the former stu- dents of South, even though they now have new colleges to cheer for. Those who have just left might be expected to have a soft spot in their hearts for their recent Alma Mater, but they are not one step ahead of the older ex-students. Not long ago a rugby game was played on the Western campus between Central and Beck. Among the spectators was a student who had left South three years ago, and another who had graduated six years ago. Their jubilation when that last touchdown was made, to break the tie and win the game for South, would have been a surprise even to those who are now attending South. A feeling of affection and real interest in the activities of South is cherished by her former students who, one and all, Wish South the best of luck in all her undertakings. Barbara Govan. BDYS' TENNIS LATE Due to a heavy programme this spring it was decided to hold the annual tennis tourna- ment in the fall. The rugby season combined with the cold weather to chill the interest of the contestants. The boys' singles and doubles were not completed. Nevertheless, the junior boys were undaunted, and finished their section in good time. In the final round Jack Higgins was victorious over Stewart Buchanan by scores of 6-l, 6-3. Perhaps next year the interest of the stu- dent body will be great enough to again make a success of this competition. -K.

SIIUTH SENIORS UNSUCCESSFUL Rugby at South started very late this year. Last year's Senior ranks were badly shat- tered and for a time it seemed as if there would be no Senior team. But due to Mr. Dins- more's constant efforts a team of twenty-one was organized. After a prolonged period of conditioning, an exhibition game was arranged with St. Thomas Collegiate. This game proved very successful in help- ing the inexperienced members of the team to get their bear- ings, although South came out on the short end of a 6-1 score. In the first game of the season South made a good showing against the formidable Central line-up. The teams seemed very evenly matched until the third quarter, when Central launched a series of 42 line bucks which shattered the lighter South line. The score was 6-0. Due to several injuries in her personnel sustained during the Central game the South team was severely crippled for the second game against Sar- nia, and took another beating to the tune of 10-0. After these two losses, South's Senior Rugby chances looked very black. But at this time two of last year's regular middles returned. Two Weeks of strenuous practice added to this produced a very much strengthened team, and they won the return game against Central 13-7. South exhibited, as a result of expert coaching mixed with the old South do or die spirit, the best kind of W.O.S.S.A. rugby. This win brought South to a tie with Central for the City Cham- pionship. In the next game in Sarnia South experienced a reverse in form and lost by an overwhelm- ing score of 9-0, giving to Sarnia the group title. After the game a tea-dance was held for the South players and fans. Many were unable to attend, but the few that stayed en- joyed themselves immensely, and wish to thank Sarnia Col- legiate for an enjoyable evening. DECIDING GAME HOTLY CUNTESTED The last game of the season for the City Championship against Central was held in the University Stadium on Remem- brance Day. Again South went down, but fighting, to a loss of 7-2. After a sudden touch-down by Central in the opening minutes of the game, the two teams were fairly well matched. The team and the school sin- cerely congratulate our tradi- tional Central rivals in their first win of the McHale trophy for some years. -Don Filmore, VB. SUUTH PLAYERS 0N LINKS K. KEENE AND I. INNES WIN TITLES The inaugural competition in the first secondary schools tournament was held on Sep- tember 15, 1936, at Thames Valley Golf Course. The ninety- five entrants teed off in a driv- ing rain which lasted the better part of the morning. The Senior competition, for boys seventeen and older, was won by Ken Keene. His total score of 83 was secured by four pars and three birdies. The prize was a shield donated by Mr. H. B. Beal of the London Technical and Commercial School. Ian Innes carried off the Junior Boys' championship. Consistent playing, along with seven pars, gave him a score exactly equalling that of the winner of the Senior group. Ian also received a shield donated by Mr. Beal. As well as the main events, there were classes for every age group from 13 to 17. Bud Cole won a steel-shafted iron in the 13-year-old group with a score of 92. Jack Carpenter, another great golfer, won another steel-shafted iron with an 84. The tournament was handled by Mr. Innes, the pro of the city course, and Mr. B. S. Scott of the Technical School. Teach- ers from the various schools assisted. The majority of the foursomes were accompanied by a teacher or an adult with enough persuasive powers to see that the rules were kept. The tournament was a big success as far as South's students were concerned, as they Won four prizes. Southern Times Juniors Win City Series ANDERSON TROPHY STAYS AT SOUTH When the rugby season once more came around there was a possibility that thirteen of last year's championship players would return and once more don the garnet and gray uni- forms. With this experience behind the team it seemed that the chances for repeating the feat of 1935 were great. How- ever, when the facts were known it was learned that there were just six of the regulars of the previous team. Mr. Freeman certainly deserves a lot of credit for carving out of the available green material the keen co-operative squad which represented South this season. The first game of the city series was played at Beck, where our boys, lacking the experience of playing against keen opposition before spec- tators, were defeated by a 4-1 score. When the team had col- lected itself it made a des- perate 95-yard march down the field but the final whistle blew with South in possession on Beck's 15-yard line. In the second game South defeated Central handily on our own field 7-0. Continued from Page 36. col. 3 The extra-curricular activ- ities of Queen's cover an exceedingly large field. There are opportunities for every type of individual to pursue the activities in which he is most interested. The facilities for athletics are most complete. There is a large gymnasium. which contains one of the finest tiled pools in Canada, as well as two gyms' for basketball, badminton and volley-ball. The Richardson Stadium, built for the university by Mr. J. M. Richardson, includes the rugby field, bleachers, and the fully equipped dressing - rooms. Queen's also owns the Jack Hartry Arena, where all the hockey games and ice functions are held. In closing may I say on behalf of Tremaine and Miller Continued on page 49, col. l The next game was very keenly contested. However, South emerged victorious with the closest score possible, 1-O. The third game was undoubt- edly the hardest game of the season and, although South was ahead 3-1, Central was pressing hard and threatening danger- ously to score in the last quarter. In the last game between Central and Beck, Central won and gave us undisputably first place and also the city cham- pionship. --R. V. Mclntyre, VB. WUODSTDCK SERIES After winning the city series with the loss of only one game, the South Junior squad played against Woodstock C. I. In this game our Juniors managed to pile up a lead of four points, winning 10-6. ln the return game the team did not fare so well. Although they played good, sound rugby, they were defeated 15-4, Woodstock tak- in the round 21-14. The team missed the services of Tom Woolley and Bill Ticknor. Ross Mclntyre's playing was out- standing for South. Quarter- back Alf. Moulden kicked a beautiful placement as well as turning in a good game at quarter. Congratulations to Mr. Freeman and his juniors for their fine season. We wish them good luck next year. Members of the team were as follows: Coach, Mr. Free- mang halves, R. Mclntyre fcap- tainy, L.

RUGBY'S FINAL WHIRL Last year we had even more enthusiasm about the Rugby dance than we have ever had, perhaps because the rugby heroes distinguished themselves so greatly. For Weeks before this much anticipated night echoes sounded throughout the cor- ridors, from the fair sex: What are you wearing? from the boys, Whom are you tak- ing '? At last December 21 and the Rugby Dance came. The setting of the gym- nasium was very attractive. Two rows of coloured balloons stretched the length of the roomg comfortable chairs and softly shaded lights around the walls completed the furnish- ings. The music, provided by Elmo Johnston, was very good. The dance was brought to a close at 11.30 by the strains of God Save the King and the added accompaniment of popping balloons. Congratulations to the Boys' Athletic Association for the success of their evening. JUNIOR RUGBY TEAM Hueston News Photo Back Row-fLeft to Rightj-D. Westman lManagerl. G- Tllffm. J- P0nSf0rd, M.

Unfor- tunately one of the hopes of the squad failed to get the academic standing required. In spite of this it was only with the greatest difficulty that we were nosed out by our tradi- tional rivals, Central. The Seniors played the first game of the season at Tech and in the last quarter they staged a recovery to win the game, 21-18. The next, played on our own floor, proved to be a 27-15 win against Central. Another game with Beck re- sulted in a 16-13 win. When Tech played their return game they also were defeated, 29-19. Our squad then added to their credit another victory by de- feating Beck 26-14. The final game was scheduled against Central and was undoubtedly the most closely contested one in years. When the final whistle blew the score was a tie, but in the overtime Central man- aged to score another basket to win the game, 29-27. Since both Central and South had lost only one game, both schools were tied for first place. A home-and-home play- off series was to determine the victor. On our floor Central took a 23-19 win, and, although we managed to win the return game 12-11, C'entral's lead of three points gave them the trophy. The line-up was: Right for- ward, Kennedyg centre, Steeleg left forward, Dick White, left guard, Chapman fCaptain 3, right guard, Filmoreg subs, Jolley, Treinaine. -R. McIntyre, VB SOUTH DRIBBLERS G0 TRUCKIN' On Friday, April 24th, the basketball season was brought to a close by a game between the South boys and the ex-students. After the game an informal dance was held, with Elmo Johnston and his band supply- ing the music. This is one of the otustanding social func- tions of the year because it affords the students of our school an opportunity of meet- ing some of the graduates. Needless to say we all enjoyed ourselves immensely. Hueston News Photo SENIOR BASKETBALL TEAM lLeft to Rightl-A. M. Freeman fCoachl, R. White, H. Steeles, J. Kennedy, R. Chapman lCaptainJ, D.

IUNIURS PUT UP 6000 FIGHT Not one regular from the previous year's City Champion- ship Junior Basketball Team was left last winter, and Coach Freeman was faced with the diflicult task of building up an entirely new squad. Although they did not succeed in win- ning the City Championship, the Juniors played excellent basketball, and fought every game. The squad was as fol- lows: Left forward, Abe Frith CCaptain39 right forward, George Marting centre, Mart Grayg left guard, Ross McIn- tyreg subs, C. Dunn, J. Walker, J. Oram, B. Darling, R. Brown and C. Hoare. In the series with Beck our Juniors won on the Beck fioor and at home with a comfort- able lead in both games. The most exciting series was with Central. In the game away from home, two over- time sessions were necessary before our team was nosed out by the narrow margin of two points. The return game was eust as close, although Cent emerged with a four-point lead. When they played Tech, our Juniors faced a squad that was exactly the same as the pre- vious year. They lost both games to the more experienc Tech team to give the latter the City Championship. SCHUUL DAZE C. Hoare, VA. Now see, be swift, come on boys, Thatls all we ever hearg Why don't they give us some- thing new, And spread a little cheer.

It is my last girls' party and I have just paid my admission fee as I entered the door. Once again frivolity and enthusiasm are making history and the halls of South are Filled with excited girls wearing their P. E. uniforms. Some are busy, others are not, but at least everyone is contributing to the general uproar which greets my ears as I come in. At 7.45 the whistle is blown and all the girls assemble in the auditorium. Marny Kelly, vice-president of the G. A. A., after having made a few intro- ductory remarks, introduces the honorary presidents of the Association, Mrs. Kelly and Mrs. Keene. And now we : being led in a sing-song by Doris Parker and Lois Grey to start the evening off right. Seeing that the sing-song is over and there is a brief pause before the Second Year skit, shall we take time to look around? How funny the First Years look with their noses reddened and wide stripes of orange and black smeared across their faces! And just look at Betty Stauffer all dressed up in her father's best Quit-doesn't she make a per- fect boy? Oh! but Marny is announc- ing the Second Year skit, a contrast of country and city life. We wonder which is the worst. After this clever farce Sib Macklin, looking for all the world like a page of Ye Old Court, comes out to announce the Tragedy of the Carpet Tacks , by the Third Year girls. When this is Iinished Ruth deJausserand, minus a certain necessary part of her clothing, relates to us a mo- dernized version of Cinderella. Next comes a rendition of popular pieces by the Girls' Orchestra conducted by Doris Parker. Evidently Mr. Byles is going to have some competi- tion. But the music is chang- ing to Here Comes the Bride and from the back of the audi- torium a queer looking bridal procession is progressing to- wards the stage.

The reason for all this was that the Seniors were marking our entrance into High School with a gay initiation. Added to our sense of new- ness was embnrrassment, for our noses were dirty from roll- ing peanuts along the halls. We walked up and downstairs back- wards until we felt as if it would become a lifetime habit. We could evcn see ourselves turning around backwards to go up an esca'ator. Then, too, we hopped up and down cor- ridors like feeble imitations of Jumping Jacks and played such games as Farmer in the Dell on the grass before a large audience. But after all, we had fun and I think the Seniors got a few laughs at our expense. We hope some day to be as good pals to the new girls as they were to us. kElizabeth McEwing. --- f up my GIRLS' BADMINTON CHAMPIONS J. Shirley, Ef.flVIarshallf f SHUTTLECOCKS ON THE WING Last season was our third consecutive year for badmin- ton. There was a large number of entries, both Junior and Senior. Miss MacFarlane and Miss Hilliard gave their much desired guidance two nights a week. This season Miss Nicholls will take Miss I-lilliard's place. The tournament games were divided into two main sections, the championship and the con- solation, the latter being for those who were defeated in the lirst round. ln this manner the less experienced players were given a better chance to show their ability. The championship was won by Jean Shirley and Elaine Marshall, who defeated Louise Slattery and Olwyn Lloyd in a very good game. The consolation series was won by Grace Rogers and Bar- 'mara Ernst when they defeated Jean Clarke and Mary Shannon. Much enthusiasm was shown by both the players and spec- tators. We all hope that this coming year will be a still greater success than last season and that the girls who read this will all take part. Since we now have badminton in full swing we are hoping that more will join in. So here's success to the coming year! -Mary Shannon, III D. 45 Southern Times BASEBALL CHAMPIONS Back Row-J.

SDUTH WORLD SERIES VB Forges Ahead The baseball tournament this year had to be run off quickly, as the weather was very uncer- tain. Second, Third, Fourth and Fifth Years each had a round robin tournament with the win- ners of these playing in the semi-finals and finals. IIE came out on top of the Second Year group, IIIA was the victor in Third Year, and V B carried off the honours in the Fourth and Fifth Year games. The semi-final game between IIE and IIIA was very inter- esting. The score was 14-1 for III A, but Betty Benclal's pitch- ing for IIE was very good. The final game, between IIIA and V B was most exciting. The game was supposed to be five innings but at the end of that time the score stood 20-20. Two more innings were played, in which VB pulled ahead and left the score 26-21 in their favour. The battery of IIIA was better than that of VB, but VB's batting and Helding were superior. The batteries were: V B, J. Govan, M. Fraserg IIIA, R. Keene, V. Legg. The scorers and referees were chosen from Third, Fourth and Fifth Year. First Year had their own tournament later. -B. Walker, IV C. GIRL'S INTRA- MURAL BASKETBALL During the year 1935-36 basketball in the South C. I. underwent a complete change. Instead of having just one team, Miss MacFarlane and Miss Hilliard organized inter- form games and went to a great deal of trouble to draw up a satisfactory schedule. This idea certainly proved to be a success with the girls, as up to this time only a very few out of the whole school ever had a chance to play basket- ball outside the class periods, and now students who never before considered playing the game have turned out in large numbers. Not only did they have a chance to play, but they were also given a chance to learn how to referee under the super- vision of Miss MacFarlane. Cirls whose ability passed by unnoticed were discovered. The Senior Girls' series was a round robin and included at least one team from each form in the third, fourth and fifth years. Second and first years played a similar one among themselves. The final game to settle the school championship was played between IIIC and III D, the latter being winners by a very close score. Each of the girls on the win- ning team was given a small garnet and gray crest and I am quite certain everyone was sat- isfied with her reward. -Margaret Stein, III D. IT WAS THE WOMAN WHD PAID LEAP YEAR DANCE Since February, 1936 brought an extra day, the Girls' Ath- letic Society decided to have a Leap Year dance. The girls were very enthusiastic over the idea of being able to turn the tables on the boys. They said they would show the boys that they needed no help to decorate the gym. The girls did it themselves and made a very good job of it. On February 28th, at 8.30 p.m., all who were not at home with the measles gathered in the auditorium and from there went to the gymnasium. Dur- ing the evening there was dancing to the haunting strains of Glen Burston's orchestra. There were numerous special dances, among them a Paul Jones and several robber dances. The elimination dance was won by Mrs. Carr-Harris, and Aileen Cooke and Doug Parnell were successful in the prize waltz. Another enjoyable number was a tap dance by Lois Grey and Ellah Tipping. Ginger ale was sold by some of the girls until the supply was exhausted. From conversation in the halls for weeks after, every- one seemed to have enjoyed the party and only wished that every year was Leap Year. -Betty Walker, IV C. Southern Times POINT SYSTEM PRUVES SUCCESSFUL In its inaugural year the point system in girls' sports seems to have gone over the top with flying colours. With the reward of a crest in view, every girl is doing her utmost to enter into the athletic activities of the school with more eagerness than has ever been displayed before. More interest is being taken in learn- ing the finer points of playing as well as the fundamental rules of the game, as the girls are learning to referee as well as participate. Last year, girls' sports were confined to inter-form competi- tion with no outside playing whatever. This system gives every girl in the school an opportunity to play in the games instead of just a selected few. The activities consisted of tournaments, each lasting about three weeks. Each regular player on a winning team was awarded a small crest. The sports year opened with a baseball tournament, followed by a basketball play-off. Some- thing new in the school last year was an inter-form volley- ball competition, which was a great success and will probably become a permanent addition addition to our sports program. The badminton tournament came in the spring term and, as usual, created much enthus- iasm and rivalry. The tennis tournament this year was held in the fall. This change seems to have been an improvement, as the contestants were able to have more prac- tice than previously. This fall the game of field- ball, which was introduced two years ago but which made no progress last year, staged a successful comeback. It seems to be a combination of a great many games-our only regret being that it still bears no resemblance to rugby. However, it seems very popular, despite this great handicap. It has been suggested to the Girls' Athletic Association that A archery be introduced into the fifth year. As this would be a rather expensive undertaking, suiiicient enthusiasm must be shown among the girls to ensure its success. If you have any ideas on the subject, let us hear about them. So far this term our athletic program has been very success- ful and gives every promise of continuing: so throughout the year. ---Carol Macklin, VB. FIRST VOLLEY BALL TUURNAMENT Volley ball, brought into South last season for the first time as a tournament, was a contre of interest. A team from each form competed in the series. In the semi-Finals IIC played ID, while VA and IIID contested. IVC and VA emerged victors from the semi- finals and saw each other through the net. If noise is any indication, the final game was exciting and V A won with IIC nibbling at their mercurial heels with a score of 19-15. The tournament proved very inter- esting indeed and we all look forward to more volley-ball competitions this year. gSylva Macklin, III C. TENNIS DELAYED TILL FIILL On account of the short spring term this year, our annual tennis tournament was held over until the fall. A very encouraging number of girls entered the tourna- ment and, as the competition was very close, it was both exciting and enjoyable. Betty Macfie was successful in win- ning the senior singles and she and Mary Fraser were cham- pions in the doubles. Betty Turner was the winner of the iunior singles. We are all looking forward to another tournament next year and hope that it will be held in the fall again for it gives the contestants an oppor- tunity to practice during the summer. -Rosebelle Mitchell.

Miss Hilliard, who has taken an active part in arranging girls' sports, and with Miss MacFarlane headed the Girls' Athletic Association, is now teaching at Jarvis Street Collegiate, Toronto. Mr. Urlin, whose duties as vice- principal of the school are too numerous to mention, has been very prominent in the work of the Literary Society. He has been transferred to Central. IN MEMURIAM T0 TACK WILLIAMS ' With the untimely death of Jack Williams South lost one of her most versatile and ami- able students. Jack came to us in 1931, and stayed for four years. During that time he made many friends, and left behind him many happy memories. His death followed a short illness in Victoria Hospital on April 17, 1936. South Collegiate extends its very deepest and most sincere sym- l pathy to the immediate family of Jack Williams. g 49 Southern Times -, - Q-7 7 A Y SA Hueston News Phntn Back Row-J. Garside, R.

A certain nationally advertised com- pany that puts out prepared breakfast foods im- ports corn from South Africa- seven thousand miles away. They do this because Canadian corn does not fulfill their needs and South African corn, as yet, can not be grown satisfactorily in Canada. Likely the company would readily buy corn from Canadian farmers if our farmers could pro- duce the right type of corn. Opportunity is pre- senting itself to the person who produces the type of corn desired. When we wanted certain charac- teristics in wheat, a wheat was produced that had them. Surely todtry we have some Canadian who can produce the special type of corn for our Canadian farmers as Charles Saunders produced wheat for us in 1904.

Last night, as I came back from Muskat, I passed close by Watson's place and saw a native, look- ing exactly like the one we've got under lock and key, sneaking along with a gun. It was a rather queer way to behave, but I was too tired to think more about it. But when I heard of Watson's death, I immediately remembered this chap and went out to get him. Anyhow, the test tomorrow should show whether he is the one or not. The next day, Hamjee was taken from his cell and led into a room with a white sheet at the far end. The curtains were drawn and all was dark. Ramiee grew apprehensive. Suddenly from be- hind him came a buzzing noise: a beam of light pierced the darkness and directly in front of him was walking the man he had slain, looking at him and talking to him. With a scream of terror, Ras Ramjee collapsed.

This story, for instance, concerns fingerlings or infant fish. It was the last time I had spring fever that I met them as I was wandering along the lake- shore by the Provincial Fish Hatchery at Kings- ville. From the chief attendant I learned some interesting facts about the life history of the tiny fish. Every fall, after the middle of November, the commercial fishermen gather the spawn of the whitefish from their Lake Erie catch and bring it to the hatchery. This spawn is placed in large glass jug-like jars in which the water is con- tinually moving. These jars are arranged in tiers with the lips pointing outward. The lake water is pumped in at the natural temperature, and the excess goes over the lip into a trough. The troughs all merge into one in the centre of the building and from there the water returns to the lake. The fertile egg-masses are placed in these jars and left to Nature. After the arrival of spring, careful scrutiny will reveal minute, almost transparent bodies with two black eyes. These bodies gradually detach themselves from the egg-masses and, as newly hatched fish, follow the movement of the water into the tank. Each fingerling carries on it an egg sac on which it can feed for fifteen to twenty days. When the tank becomes crowded, overgrown milk cans are filled with fish and water and loaded on a truck. A truckload generally consists of about three million tiny fish. These are dumped. into merciless Lake Erie, from whence the spawn was received. Once in the lake, the tiny fish are left to fate. Some live to a hoary old age but the majority fall prey to other fish or the sport-loving members of the Whoppers' Club. -Gertrude Bergey, IV C. - 'H' , Products of' Quality AX Boomers Ltd. 2 if N Qyhu 5, -E- Candy - Ice Cream - Sodas UQQYQU Afternoon Teas LONDON Luncheons - Dinners 60 1: I-IAIRDRESSING :: Doreen Beauty Sllimjp ROYAL BANK BUILDING Richmond Street Cleanliness amntdl Sertujiee :: MRS.

The opposition threw a forward and the pigskin spiraled beauti- fully to the right side of the field. johnny seemed to sense the play. He leaped into the air, snagged the ball, and lifted his knees for locomotion. In a straight line he hugged the right side of the field, not a yard in from the sideline. He eluded two tacklers and then was in the clear. He scored standing up, with nobody even close to him. The kick was no good, but who cared? A few more plays and the game was over. The score was I0 to 6 in favour of Iohnny's team. And johnny Williams, everyone agreed, was everything his father said he was . . .

Fair 2150 M 66 tContinued from page 333 extra water vapour is distinctly desirable at this time. With proper circulation and ventilation, cold floor-drafts in winter are non-existent, and the requisite amount of fresh air is introduced. Not only is a dust-free atmosphere a boon to the house- wife, but removal of soot, disease germ-carrying dust particles and pollen grains minimizes the danger of contracting colds, asthma and hay fever. In the case of winter conditioning, the cycle is usually thus: Cold air, which filters in around doors and windows, together with stale air from the rooms, is drawn by a blower through metal ducts to the unit. In many cases a vent pipe is installed to bring in 2521 fresh air from outside. Other systems exhaust the return air into the base- ment: then the mixed air is taken into the unit. Inside the conditioner, the air is passed through filters to remove impurities: then it is heated, humidified, and forced through the hot-air ducts of the rooms. ln this way the air in the whole house is changed four to six times an hour. Com- plete summer conditioning includes automatic filtering, cooling, dehumidifying, and circulating, with the addition of 402 fresh air. Some systems combine all the functions of winter and summer in a single compact unit. Others consist of several separate units usually placed side by side. Replaceable filters, either dry or viscous, are generally used to clean the air. Humidification in winter is provided by an evaporative tray set in the path of the air stream, or by a fine spray of water discharged from nozzles in the air washer. ln summer the hot humid air is cooled and dehumidified by passing over coils connected with a refrigerating unit. Some companies do not employ this method, but depend upon cold water at 55 degrees or less, or re-circulating morning or evening air. Regulation of the temperature at all seasons is secured by one or more thermostats, and relative humidity is controlled by the humidostat. Air conditioning may be adapted to a variety of locations, types of buildings and heating sys- tems, but it is obvious that installation is easier in a new house where provision has been made for it in the plans. In any case, a factor which cannot be overlooked is insulation. With any system, the use of insulation and weatherstrip- ping assures more economical operation with smaller equipment. ln addition, adequate insula- tion is absolutely essential to prevent sweating of walls in winter. Sweating is the result of infiltra- tion of moisture on the inside of the outer walls when the inside humidity is raised to about SOM.

Anne com- menced her evening's work. Methodically she searched the bedroom, but she found nothing. Next she tackled a closet seemingly full of odds and ends. Suddenly as she emptied an old club bag, a folded paper slipped out from a hidden pocket. Eagerly she pounced on it and tore it open, only to find a list of mining stocks. Leaving the bedroom, she next concentrated on the study. Her heart sank when the clock Gompliments of METROPOLITAN STORES 01 UI STORES FROM COAST TO COAST COMPLIMENTS OF BUEHLER BROS. MEAT MARKET SPECIALTY CHOICE QUALITY MEATS 68 struck ll:3O. Only one short hour more, and, so far, no success. Drawer after drawer, shelf after shelf, panel after panel, she searched and tapped, but still no plans. lust as the clock was striking l2:UU, she mounted a chair to search a mantel. Suddenly the chair slipped and, to save herself, she clutched wildly at the elk head hanging on the wall. The next moment Anne was sitting on the floor tightly clasping the elk's head. As she picked herself up, von Arnheim appeared tottering in the doorway. You double-crossing English spy, l'll get you for this, he cried, as he waveringly pointed a gun at her. Terror-stricken but des- perate, with superhuman strength Anne threw the elk head straight at him. As he fell, the pistol discharged and filled the air with smoke. And the clock chimed l2:l5! Trembling, Anne bent over the count and felt his weak pulse. Then she noticed that some papers had fallen out of the elk's head. Frantic- ally she grabbed them and tore them open. The plans! They were the plans! Sensing rather than realizing the dangerous nearness of 12:30, she dashed from the apartment, stuffing the plans into her bag as she fled down the hall towards the elevator. ln the nick of time she slipped behind a protecting pillar as a stocky German passed her on his way to von Arnheim's apartment. What a surprise he'll get, chuckled Anne, as she entered the elevator. The moment she reached the street, Tony appeared from nowhere and quickly led her to a high-powered car all ready to leap away. Whatever did you do with the butler? puffed Anne, all out of breath, as she fell back on the cushions. I expect he is still waiting patiently for an audience with the Kaiser's personal secretary. He thinks he is fitted for a position in the secret ser- vice, replied Tony, as he patted Anne's hand. CContinued from page l4l ing the bumps along with the breaks: learning to be a good loser: playing the game for the fun of playing and co-operating with a group of girls for a common end instead of playing for one's self alonep these things are of paramount import- ance to any one, girl or boy. lt is rather unfortunate, merely because boys can run a little faster and be a great deal rougher in their sports, that athletics for girls are minimized in the schools. Everyone will turn out for a boys' game, but the girls usually play to an empty house. Even if they do not win the grandstand recognition which the boys achieve, athletics for girls should receive as much attention from the school authorities, because, as we say to the little child when we give it cod liver oil, It is good for you, my dear.

Allward, stands in that part of Northern France where Canadian troops most frequently fought. lt is designed to commemorate not only the taking of the Ridge and other engagements generally known as the Battle of Arras, but also the whole achievement of Canadian troops during the Great War. From the platform of the monument rise two pylons representing the British and French forces. These are adorned with sculptured figures repre- senting Gallantry, Sympathy, and Sacrificeg justice, Truth and Knowledge: Death, Sorrow, Peace and the Cross. On the eastward wall, over- looking the slope, stands the heroic figure of a cowled woman-Canada mourning her dead. In front of the memorial, at the ground level, are two groups called the Defenders-one representing Sympathy for the Helplessp the other, the Breaking of the Sword. The memorial comprises twenty figures in all, each double life size. On the out- side of the pylons is the Cross. Other ornamental designs, such as the Crown, and the Fleur de Lis, are carved on its surface. The curving slope in front of the monument forms a large bowl-shaped area covered with soft, green grass. The veterans took their places on the sloping ground directly in front of the monu- ment, and their relatives were placed on the slopes on either side of the memorial. At 2.15 p.m. His Majesty the King arrived and, after receiving the Royal Salute and inspecting the Guards- of 70 Honour, he greeted M. Albert Lebrun, the Presi- dent of the French Republic. The religious service was conducted by representatives of the Church of England, the United Church of Canada, and the Roman Catholic Church. The Rt. Hon. Mac- kenzie King's message was transmitted by trans- atlantic telephone from Canada to Vimy Ridge. His Majesty unveiled the memorial after a short speech in French, and then in English. The Last Post was followed by two minutes silence and Reveille, after which President Lebrun gave his concluding address. We attempted to get on to the monument to inspect it but could not as the stairways were jammed with thousands of people. After exam- ining it from the ground level. we returned by bus to our billets at Lille. The next morning we were off again by bus. At the Franco-Belgian frontier the gendarmes, who ordinarily searched everyone going across the border, didn't bother with us. as there were seven- teen bus loads. We passed through Ypres and the Menin Gate, Sanctuary Wood, Zillebeke, Passchendaele, Tyne Cot Cemetery, Zonnebeke, and back to Ypres, where the busses stopped for an hour. The ruins of Cloth Hall, which was once beautifully decorated with huge murals, have been left as they were after the bombardment, except for the tower, which has been rebuilt. The chimes in the tower played The Maple Leaf Forever and other familiar tunes.

Each evening the Last Post is sounded in front of the Menin Gate Memorial on a set of silver bugles which were presented to the town by the British Legion in l929. All traffic stops for two minutes during this impressive ceremony. With this short tour over, we returned to Lille and ate a hurried lunch in a large auditorium on the outskirts of the city. The train journey back to Antwerp took us through Tourcoing, Courtnai, Ghent and Boom. Immediately on our arrival at Antwerp we embarked on the Montrose once more. As the ship moved slowly out from her pier, the distant strains of O Canada fittingly con- cluded this most wonderful ceremony and awakened the deepest emotions within our hearts. -T.

Chris vainly tried to get information from Molly, but she knew nothing. At this critical point he lost control of himself and blaming the maid for neglect he discharged her. Dureen kept repeating, My baby, my baby has been kidnapped. When the old man heard this, he exclaimed, Your baby - well I'll be - You'll get no job from me now, young man! Chris paid no attention to his uncle. He was setting forth a plan to search for the child. Dureen was to make enquiries around the neighbourhood while Chris would go to the police station. In the anxiety Uncle Francis was forgotten and left alone in the living-room. He let the world know about it, however, by raving for half an hour with only the walls to listen to him. When he had about exhausted his opinion of babies and his Chrysler relatives, the maid emerged from her room carrying her possessions. We1l mista, I hopes you doan all hafta wait too long, she drawled. But I reckons as I'l1 be leaving now since I'se not wanted no mo'. She began to move across the room toward the door when without previous warning she dropped all that she was carrying and her mouth sagged as if she had seen the ghosts of her ancestors. Lawsy bel she exclaimed. If it ain't Francis Theodore Iunior hisself. Whar yo' all been? As she said this, the baby crawled from behind the piano, apparently unaware of any worries on his behalf. The former maid stooped over and picked up the child. She turned around and looked at Uncle Francis. I reckon as how you'll hafta look after him, mista. The old man jerked up quite abruptly, apparently worried at the thought of taking care of the infant. Now, look here, young lady, you're staying right here until Mr. and Mrs. Chrysler return. I'm sorry, suh, but I doan work heah no mo'. Yo'll done hafta take care of him. She then placed the baby beside him on the sofa, picked up her things and left, saying cheerily, Good- bye, suh. Take good care of him. Continued on page 79 SNAP INTO IT! SNAP INTO WHAT? Snap Into The Opportunities AT THE Y. W. C. A. - - Metcalf 4582 - Continued fron: page T3 Handling a baby was the last thing Mr. Chrys- ler would have dreamt of, much less being lef? in charge of one. He tried to resign himself to the task, hoping against hope that the baby would not start to cry. But that gift with which nature has endowed babies seems to be used at the most inopportune times. And so it happened that Chrysler, Iunior, started to set up a series of static vibrations which were very disconcerting to the elder Chrysler. He then tried to amuse the baby in a rather awkward manner. Watch-chain, pocket-knife and pen were used in vain. Next he dangled his hair within the baby's grasp. The younger Chrysler got the idea immediately and clutched a handful of Uncle Francis' white hair. Ouch, gasped the old man as the child became more vigorous in his tugs. Theodore, Senior, was beginning to get the idea, too, however, and he soon joined in the fun. Say, you're a smart little fellow, you are. You and l are going to have a big time. About half an hour later Mr. and Mrs. Chrysler were rather surprised when they entered their home to find the sedate, gruff Francis Theodore Chrysler, Senior, romping in the middle of the floor with Francis Theodore Chrysler, Iunior. Caught off guard, the elder Chrysler jumped to his feet and tried to adopt his former businesslike manner. The father and mother were so delighted to find their son safe that they did not notice his weak attempt at composure. They threw count- less questions at the old fellow which he had no time to answer. Chris finally added, I see you and our son have been getting acquainted in a nice, friendly manner. Oh-er, yes, replied Uncle Francis. And let me tell you, he's a bright little fellow. He'll make a great football player some day. Here Dureen cut in: Chris and I have been discussing his future. I Want him to go to Yale and Chris Wants him to go to Harvard. I insist that he go to Yale. llifhat do you think? The old man jumped to his feet and drew him- self to his full height, appearing quite indignant and rather hurt at not having been consulted before.

His deep voice seemed to rock the room. He's going to attend Notre Dame and don't either one of you try to say differently.
