The Linguist's Corner' ByChristianIensen vB. tt 1 It THE QUAY AT HAMBURG Die Stadt Hamburg N der Elbe, nur wenige Meilen von der Nordsee, liegt die Stadt Hamburg, die zweitgrosste Stadt Deutschlands und eine der beriihmtesten Hafenstadte der Welt. 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. A une table Canadienne-irancaise on ne se gene jamais et tout le monde mange sans ceremonie. , Avec tout ce qu'il y a de travail, les Cana- diens-Frangais sont les gens les plus habiles et Continued on page 643

Southern Times Weather- Storms Brewing in South Date- Look at the the Calendar South Reaps Fruits of Triumphs ORCHESTRA WINS SPECIAL LAURELS ORCHESTRA PROMINENT AT FESTIVAL John Mair Receives Adjudicator's Praise The interest of musical London was aroused by the innovation of the Canadian Musical Festival, sponsored by the University of Western Ontario. 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
