Donald Hayes Maidens, D.C.M. A44319 KA Corporall. On 11 April, 1945, Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry made an assault crossing of the ijasel River. The two assaulting companies, LI Company right, and C Company left, success- fully reached their objectives in area of the M R. 93602-1 forming a small bridgehead through which it was planned the company and B company would pass. A--1-1319 Private tAct,ing Corporalj Donald Hayes Maidens was acting platoon sergeant of 15 Platoon, C Company. ln order that A Company and B Company could reach their objectives quickly it was es- sential that the 1'OLltc'S they were to take be cleared of the enemy. Volunteering to clear the route to be taken by B Company, which was to pass through C Company, Acting Corporal Maidens went forward alone, in daylight over the fiat open country, and for a total of no less than 1000 yards under fire from snipers and machine guns to captare two machine gun posts and a total of twelve prisoners. A little while later Acting Corporal Maidens and another cor- poral charged and captured a machine gun post which was bringing down intense hre on D com- pany area and A company forming-up place. Acting Corporal Maidens personally killed the machine gunner and took two snipers prisoners. By these gallant actions, in addition to almost single handedly accounting for three machine gun posts and fourteen prisoners, Acting Corporal Maidens made it possible for A Company and B Company to get on to their objectives quickly and thus maintained the momentum of the assault. At approximately 1700 hours on 13 April, 1945, Princess Patricia Canadian Light Infantry at- tacked to the South XVest with the object of breaking out of the bridgehead. As C Company were advancing to their objective they came under very heavy machine gun hre. Acting Corporal Maidens moved a section into a right flanking position from where he led an assault over 300 yards of ground, swept by heavy ma- chine gun fire, to overcome the strong point and enable the advance to proceed. Acting Corporal Maidens personally killed one officer and two other ranks and captured three prisoners during the attack on this well defended position before he himself was severely wounded and evacuated. During the period of time from the crossing of the Ijasel until he was wounded, Acting Cor- poral Maidens was an inspiration not only to his platoon but to the whole company. The com- IS ' plete disregard he showed for his own safety, and his leadership under fire, contributed greatly to the success of both the operations described. His courage was of the highest order and his actions in the face of the enemy completely fearless, and in keeping with the finest traditions of the SCFVICC. Squadron, Leader W. A. Olmsted, D.F.C. and bar. This officer has lead the Squadron through very many sorties during which great loss has been inflicted on the enemy. Much of the suc- cess achieved can be attributed to this off1cer's brilliant leadership, outstanding skill and cour- age, which have inspired all his command. Squadron Leader Olmstead himself has been re- sponsible for putting out of action a large num- ber of mechanical vehicles, numerous locomo- tives, coaches and much other equipment. He has also destroyed four enemy aircraft. His determination to harass the enemy on every possible occasion has been worthy of the highest praise. Citation to the bar- since the award of the Distinguished Flying Cross, SquadronjLeader Olmsted has destroyed afurther eighty mechani- cal vehicles. In addition he has repeatedly at- tacked enemy locomotives in most heavily de- fended areas on the outskirts of the Ruhr, severely damaging twenty-seven vehicles and a large number of goods and trucks. In Septem- ber, 1944, a very large amount of enemy equip- ment was destroyed and damaged. Squadron, Leader Olmsted has always displayed magnifi- cent leadership and a fine fighting spirit which are worthy of high praise. F, Lt. C. H. W. Henderson, D.F.C. This officer has completed very many sorties against targets in Germany and has never failed to press home his attacks. In December, 1944, he piloted an aircraft in an attack on Duisburg. On the run in to the target, the starboard engine began to vibrate badly. Nevertheless, Lieuten- ant Henderson maintained his position in the formation until the target was bombed. Not until then did he break away to feather the pro- pellor of the defective engine. Afterwards his aircraft was subjected to much anti-aircraft fire, but Flight Lieutenant Hender- son flew clear and on to an airfield in allied terri- tory. Whilst making his approach to land he saw another aircraft in a condition which made it imperative that it be landed at once. Although at a low altitude and with one engine out of action, Flight Lieutenant Henderson circled the airfield until the other aircraft was safely down. He then came in himself and effected a safe landing. This officer has invariably displayed a high standard of courage and resolution. Sqdr. Ldr. John Cruickshank. This officer has completed many successful operations during which he has displayed high skill, fortitude and devotion to duty. Captain Owen D. Cousins, Bronze Star Medal. Citation-Owen D. Cousins, O-12852021 Cap- tain, Medical Administration Corps, Head- quarters 313th Medical Battalion. For meri- torious service in combat from 4 june, 1944, to 29 April, 1945, in Italy. As S-2 of the 313th Medical Battalion, Captain Cousins demonstra- ted unusual skill and outstanding efficiency in the performance of his duties. Captain Cousins coordinated the voluminous movements which were executed with a maximum of efficiency. He made continuous reconnaissance as liaison be- tween elements of the battalion, and kept the battalion headquarters and the various com- panies constantly informed as to the tactical and medical situation. He carried out his tasks with such enthusiasm and willingness that the officers and enlisted men, with whom he came into con- tact, were incited to maximum effort. By his tact, diplomacy and cool manner, he promoted the highest degree of cooperation with all the elements of the Division, Corps and Army. By his skilful planning of the training schedules he took much of the drudgery out cf training, and gained the whole-hearted cooperation of the company commanders and the praise of Division G-2. His loyalty, conscientious efforts and skill exemplify the highest traditions of the medical department. Major John Eric Bright Copy of letter received by lXIr. Bright Dear Mr. Bright:- It is with much pleasure that I write you on behalf of the Minister of National Defence and Members of the Army Council to congratulate you and the members of your family on the hon- our and distinction which has come to your son, Major john Eric Bright, through his appoint- ment as an officer of the Order of Orange-Nassau trwith Swordsj, conferred by Her Majesty the Queen of the Netherlands, in recognition of dis- tinguished service in the cause of the Allies.

However, in 19-11, the school decided that a separate committee should be formed to take care of all war servicesin the school. The convenor of the committee throughout the war was Miss M. K. Macpherson. Through her work the XYar Services Committee in South Collegiate made a great contribution to the war effort. Others on the staff, Mrs. E. M. Pickett, Mr. IV. T. Armstrong and Mr. C. bl. Burns, also contributed time and energy in assisting with war services work. The student members of the 1Var Services Committee are as follows: 1941-42-Anna Vlfinslow, Betty Isaacs, Kath- ryn Fallis, Jack Byles, Bob Rowe. 1942-43-Kathryn Fallis, jean Muma, Doris Shirley, Barbara Conibear, Ron Keith, john Livingstone, Michael MacKenzie, Tom McLarty. 1943-44-Doris Shirley, Ruth Boyce, Joyce Jebson, Ruth Craig, Tom McLarty, Charlie McKerlie, Don Marshall, Albert jones. 1944-45-Ruth Craig, Betty Andrews, Mar- garet Macklin, Helen Turnbull, Lorna Vlfelling- ton, Tom Spettigue, Bob McKerlie, Charlie Moore, Ron Sprang, Brock Rachar. 1945-46-Lorna XVellington, Marion Mac- Vicar, Helen Forbes, Yvonne Richmond, Beverly Corlett, Brock Rachar, Jack Noble, jim Hodg- son, Gerald Robson, Owen Spettigue. Early in October of each year, you could feel something stirring in the air at South C. I. Before 9:00 A. M. and 1:30 P. M., boys were commandeered to carry in parcels from cars: girls were picking up and examining maple leaves on their way to school: students in room 24 were plying their brushes very intently: girls were knitting in every spare moment: committees were discussing every possible article for Christ- mas boxes. Then as the month advanced, acti- vities increased greatly. One night every week you would see twenty to thirty girls assembled in Room 25 and working very industriously for an hour or so. The result of their endeavours would be forty boxes packed. The following night Room 22 would be the scene of sealing, wrapping and addressing the parcels. When activities gradually became normal again you could feel a difference in the airy this time it was a feeling of deep satisfaction and pride over the accomplishment of a very worthwhile task. Our one hope was that the recipients of the boxes would know that their old school was always thinking of them. 18 Christmas Boxes In 1941, at Christmas, 124 boxes were sent to former members of the school, on active service. Throughout the following years of the war, the following numbers of boxes were shipped: 176 in 1942 270 in 1944 247 in 1943 76 in 1945 The total number over the war period exceeded 930 boxes, with the cost per box ranging from about 352.50 in 1941 to about 33.50 in 1945. The contents of the boxes can be divided into 3 classes, special, useful, and enjoyable articles. In each box was a greeting card painted by students of the Grade XII art classes, under the supervision of Miss B. lVIcCamus. Some con- tained a bright, waxed, maple leaf. Also in all the boxes was a pair of wool socks, hand-knitted by students, parents, women members of the staff, or kind friends of the school. Among the articles of greatest use to the boys were towels and face-cloths, which were sent as long as they were obtainable, soap in a box, when possible, shoe-laces, handkerchiefs, combs, and either shaving-cream or tooth paste. Included also were dry cells and razor blades, which were sent for one year only, and nail-files which were sent for two years. Among the enjoyable contents of the boxes were cigarettes, toffee and chocolate bars, or V3 lb. chocolates. Coffee, tea, hot chocolate or soup was included in every box. The Reader's Digest was sent in the boxes for two years. In 1941, girls made fudge in the cafeteria for the boxes and sealed it tightly in tin cans, to insure fresh- ness. In 1945, 1 lb. of fruit cake was sent in a similar manner. Biscuits, Krackley Nut, or Rice Krispies were used to fill in the gaps in the boxes so that they could be packed more tightly. ' Besides the boxes to the boys, there were special boxes prepared for the girls in the services. These contained cosmetics, Kleenex, towels, face-cloths and all useable articles from the general box. To those packing and packaging boxes, the school is indebted. Much was accomplished by the group of girls which worked with Mrs. E. M. Pickett, the group of boys which worked with Mr. C. J. Burns, and by Miss M. K. Mac- pherson who had the difficult task of procuring the contents of the boxes. This entailed frequent visits to many merchants to obtain scarce ar- ticles necessary to make the boxes complete. VVe do sincerely appreciate the kindness and consideration of the numerous merchants who depleted their stocks to some extent in providing us with articles in short supply. If they had not met our committee more than half-way, it would have been absolutely impossible for us to have packed any boxes after the first year. Prisoner of War Parcels Immediately on obtaining the addresses of prisoners of war, parcels containing books, games, pencils, pads of paper, and cigarettes were sent. We do not know how many of these were re- ceived overseas, but we hope that most of them were enjoyed by some allied prisoner. One parcel sent on February 15, 1945, was returned to the school in january of this year. Part of this parcel has since been forwarded to the graduate student upon his return to Canada. Parcels were sent to the following: Geoffrey Ellwood, Wfilfred Mitchell, Edgar Hoe, Barton Auld, john Gordon and Fred Le Reverend. By the time we learned that jack R. Xiieekes was a prisoner, the Government had requested that no more parcels be sent. We are glad to report that all of the afore- mentioned have returned safely to Canada. News Letter There were six News Letters sent from South Collegiate from 1940-45. They had names such as News from the Old School or South's Cheerful Chatter . Every ex-student in the services, overseas and at home, received a News Letter. These letters performed a valuable ser- vice in bridging the gap between the distant theatres of war and South Collegiate. No record was retained of the numbers of the first two letters that were sent out in December, 1940, and May, 1941. The following four years the letter was sent at Easter, in these numbers: 350 in 1942 600 in 1944 515 in 1943 650 in 1945 This shows that well over 2,000 letters were sent throughout the war years. The cost for the letters ranged from 8537.78 in 1940 to 31576.19 in 1945. The first issue of the News Letter was in typi- cal letter form. Other issues were printed and sent in lealiet form, which proved more satis- factory. Each letter contained articles on athletics, musical matinees, air cadets, social life, clubs and committees, and many trivial events en- deared to the hearts of South graduates. On the last page of each copy mailed to a stu- dent there was a personal message from a mem- ber of the teaching staff. The committees which arranged the letters were very capably advised by Miss B. M. Mc- Camus. Committees: 1942-joan Govan, Barbara Gilmore, Bob Hutchinson, Dick McElheran, Ray Reid. 1943-Kathryn Fallis, Mary Markham, Peter Rechnitzer, jack Reynolds, Dave Mason. 1944-Ruth Boyce, Margaret Macklin, Albert jones, Tom Willsie. 1945-Margaret Macklin, Jean Rollo, Tom Spettigue, Ron Mitchell, Keith Smillie. It is regretted that the names of the students who served on the News Letter Committee in 1940 and 1941 are not available. The committee members were very grateful for help offered by contributors of articles for the letters. Christmas Cards To all those of the school on service in Canada, school cards were sent annually from 1941e44 at Christmas. Each card was accompanied by a personal greeting from a member of the staff. The following number of cards were Sent: 259 in 1941 320 in 1943 247 in 1942 335 in 1944 The total was over 1,160 cards. The school did appreciate very much the many greetings received from members of the forces and also the notes in acknowledgment of these cards. Letters From Services It was always a very great pleasure to the staff and students to receive the many letters of appreciation from the boys and girls in the forces. Many of the letters were read in the auditorium to the great delight of the student body. just to prove the point here are a few extracts from some of the letters picked at ran- dom from the large numbers received over the years: 1. IQEN FARQUIIAR, R.C.A.F. It was a great pleasure to read your cheery note and Season's Greeting card. I always enjoy receiving letters from the staff at South . 2. K. S. hlCARTl1UR, Canadian Army. I wish to take this opportunity to thank you for the delightful Christmas box which arrived yesterday. It was a very pleasant surprise . 3. REID WARING, R.C.N. I certainly was pleased when I received the lovely identification disc from the school. South has worked hard to care for the ex-students in the service, and I can assure you that no school has ever equalled it and never will. 4. Nursing Sister EDNA WAUGH. A lovely parcel arrived for me in yesterday's mail from my old 'Alma lXIater'. It was cer- tainly a treat to be remembered by you. Every- thing in this parcel is useful and greatly needed, I can assure you . 5. DoN BALDNVIN, Canadian Army. I am writing a note to let you know that I received the Christmas parcel from the school yesterday and thanks a million to every one of the students. My surprise at receiving it was outdone only by the pleasure it gave me to think that South still remembered me, even after all these years away from the school and London. I think it was most thoughtful and it will cer- tainly go a long way to make my Christmas over here a lot more like Christmas day rather than just December 25 . 6. WILF. LAVOIE, R.C.A.S.C. ' Many thanks for the fine Christmas parcel. You can rest assured that we boys, former stu- dents of South, appreciate and will not forget your thoughtfulnessn. 19 VE. Day Letter These letters were sent to all parents whose sons had made the supreme sacrifice. Over fifty letters were mailed to the parents whose ad- dresses the committee were able to obtain. Here is a copy of the letter prepared for the occasion by a committee composed of Margaret Macklin, Lorna KN-'ellington and Mr. G. VVonnacott: It is with mingled feelings of pride and sorrow that the staff and students of South Collegiate wish to express our gratitude for those who have given their lives to make this victory possible. VVe are not unmindful of their sacrifice and it is the thought of this, which must and will inspire us in the future. They fought bravely and well: the inheritance of their noble example will be our inspiration in the months to come as we battle for the peace. VVe are deeply grateful to our boys who fought and died: from their sufferings will rise a new and better world. Abraham Lincoln expressed at Gettysburg the thoughts in our minds to-day. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remain- ing before us-that from these honoured dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave their last full measure of de- votion . Presentation of Discs It was the honour and privilege of the War Services Committee to present identification discs on behalf of the school to the students who left the halls of South after September, 1938, and who had been in the school for a stated length of time. From that day on, every student who joined the Armed Forces was presented with a disc as a token of our esteem. The presentation was usually made in a visit to the home by Mr. W. T. Armstrong. About two hundred and seventy of these were sent to South lads who had enlisted in our Army, Navy, or Air Force. Each was accompanied by this letter: Dear South Graduate: The students and staff of the London South Collegiate, your old school, have noted with pride your enlistment in our Army, CNavy, Air Forcej. We wish you to accept this identification disc as a token of our constant interest in your per- sonal welfare, and in the great cause for which you are fighting. May you often be reminded of your many friends at South! Yours sincerely, COn behalf of the W'ar Services Committeej Presentation of Billfolds On every front in the war, Canadian boys, boys from South, fought to preserve your way of life. Many of these won distinction and were awarded decorations for gallantry. Leather bill- folds with engraved initials were sent by the school to twenty-one boys who had won recog- 20 K nition for their bravery and devotion to duty. It was a great honour for the VVar Services Committee on behalf of the school to send these wallets as a token of our regard. Salvage The South Collegiate can be duly proud of the record it has made in salvage collection. In 1941, under the capable supervision of Mr. C. J. Burns, the following material was collected for salvage, in the school: M ton of paper 150 lbs. of lead and tin foil 300 lbs. of metal 650 lbs. of rubber Numerous old keys For the Oracles previously printed, there were metal plates of the pictures taken. In 1942 these plates were sold as salvage and the pro- ceeds turned over to the War Services Commit- tee. During 1943 and 1944, the Hi-Y Club sponsored the collection of magazines from each classroom. From 1941 to this year there was a weekly collection of paper from school on Friday afternoon. A cardboard carton was placed in each room to hold the scrap paper. Then this was gathered together in the lower hall. The boys who handled this job deserve ap- preciation. However, the ones deserving the greatest recognition are those on the janitor staff. They co-operated to the fullest extent and aided considerably in the salvage collections. Donations of Money The War Services Committee gave the follow- ing donations in money for the war effort from September 1941 to December 1945: Red Cross , ,,., . , 1941-45 - 3528.65 junior Red Cross. .. .1941-43 4 100.00 Queen's Fund... . . H -1941 4 50.00 Navy League ,.,... . ,.....,,........,... . ,. .... 1942-45 - 220.00 Girls' Donation for wool to Red Cross., , 100.00 Money Raised Penny Collections-South Co1legiate's War Services Committee employed various methods of raising money for each year's activities. One system was the penny collection. This was usually carried on in October and November from four to six weeks with each student con- tributing five cents a week. Then in january and February for the same period the pupils were asked to donate two cents a week. Once for four weeks in May five Cents a week was collected. Girls were appointed to collect the money from the bottles which were put in each room. Their collection of the money every night was greatly appreciated by those on the committee. In this way the VV ar Services Committee realized the following amounts: 3216.08 in 1941 3294.96 in 1943 3289.43 in 1942 3221.66 in 1944 383.27 in 1945 This makes a total of 31,105.40 during the five years the VVar Services collected pennies at South. Teas As a means of raising money for XYar Services work the committee sponsored several teas. The first, a Blossom Tea , was held in May of 1940. Spring invaded the sober precincts of our audi- torium that day when tulips and daffodils graced the stage and tea tables, and made a bower of the stall where home-cooking was for sale. Friendly chatter to the tinkle of tea-cups was hushed only to listen to the rich strains of the 'cello, as it sang under the touch of Rowland Pack, or to fall under the spell of the lyric so- prano of Shirley Pack in The Clouds 1Yill Be Sunshine To-morrow . Possibly our memory of this first gay and colourful tea party has been sharpened by the contrast it has presented to all that followed. For once the grim hand of VVar was laid upon such commodities as butter, sugar, tea and coffee, our tea parties were considerably restricted. A second tea was held in October, 1942. The mothers contributed baking for sale, and the accompanying musicale did not seem to he ham- pered by war time shortages. By October of 1943 the war was making itself felt. The tea that year consisted of consomme and crackers. The sale of baking was limited, due to the sugar shortage. In October of 1944, the VVar Services tea was cut to cake, cookies and tea. Many of the girls of South assisted the follow- ing members of the staff in these undertakings: Mrs. M. Carr-Harris. Miss J. I. Gorwill, Miss M. K. Macpherson, Miss B. McCamus, Miss bl. L. NlcRobert, Bliss lf. li. Nichols, Mrs. E. NI. Pickett. The XVar Services Committee is grateful to the mothers of the students for their generous as- sistance and support which made the teas the success they were. Matinees Various programmes were planned and per- formed in which talent both of students and outsiders was enlisted. Musical programmes were held during 1941 by South's Orchestra, under the direction of Mr. R. Byles, and the Glee Club under the leader- ship of Mr. R. H. Allin. Donations by the stu- dents to these matinees totalled 3lli39.65. In 1942, with an even greater expansion of musical shows, the Orchestra and Glee Club chalked up 8555.00 for the committee. At this time we were fortunate in having a visit from an artist, a whistling one, who entertained us with many bird calls. He went as far as testing our own whistles, but did not seem overly enthusi- astic about them. However, he was responsible for raising 329.00 for South's Xllar Services Committee. The following year the Glee Club and Orches- tra again put on programmes for our benefit and handed the XVar Service 353.25 Dr. jordan's movies of the Arctic Patrol which netted 3144.28 helped greatly in the war effort. During 1945, our old faithful musicians in the school brought in 3554.20 for the committee treasury, by their excellent singing and playing. From 1941 to 1945 these matinees by the stu- dents and patriotic outsiders made a total of 337693.

Other dances were held from 1942 to 1945. The committee arranging these dances was ably assisted by Miss bl. MacFarlane, Mr. L. G. Mitchell and Mr. H. B. Dinsmore. The numerous dances netted 3609.82 and were thoroughly enjoyed by everyone who attended. Tax On School Functions Students who sold second-hand text books through the Hi-Y Book Exchange unknowingly perhaps contributed 313.55 to lVar Services Committee. An additional 397.30 was obtained by levying a tax of live cents per person on tickets to junior, Intermediate and Senior parties during 1942 and 1943. Tag and Sales Days One could scarcely believe that the supporters of our 1941 rugby team could think of their stomachs as they watched our hard-fighting lXIaroons pile up the touchdowns, but facts belie opinions. At the 1941 rugby games, 328.58 was made from sales of apples and candy by patriotic students. Also in 1941, two sweaters knitted by Mrs. Clubbe, brought in 332.25 at a sale, bearing all the ear-marks of an auction. Candy donated by the students placed another 311.00 in the treasury. Sports programmes were sold at the games for a profit of 35.34. A sock tag-day was held in 1942 to add 328.85 to the books of the committee treasury. In 1943, South pupils tore up their attics and basements in a search for white elephants. A large variety of books, balls and breakables were auctioned in the auditorium, to give the committee's finances a boost with 33485. The sale of a number of copies of a news letter in 1944, netted a sum of 36l.17. From 1941 to 1944 inclusive, tag days and sales brought in the sum of 3207.74. Gifts Of Money The following gifts of money were donated by organizations who wished to see the work of the War Services Committee furthered: Boys' Athletic Association ...... .,...... 3 600.19 Girls' Athletic Association ,........... .. 234.25 Parents' Association, , . .. 16.70 Home and School Club.. ,...., ,,..,,.,.. . 2.00 Friends findividual giftsj ....... ,......., 4 4.81 Stamp Club ,.,.,.,.,......., ....,,. ,...,....... . . . 5.55 Gung-Ho Club ,.... ..,..,.,.,.,..... .... . 5.00 Home Economics Classes ,....,. ,.,. , ., 10.05 Gift receipts - 3918.55 Total Receipts and Expenses RECEIPTS EXPENSES 34,091.92 34,004.02 The balance still in the War Services Treasury is 387 .90. 22 WIRELESS CLUB It is 4:30 on a sunny summer's day back in '43 and the last echoing footsteps are receding out of the building. In a small room on the second tioor, the noise of clicking keys can be heard. The Wiireless Club is going into action, as it has been doing for the last three years. Wlhat has this to do with the war effort? lfVell, I'll tell you. This group, under the able super- vision of Mr. Jackson, was being prepared for greater things to come. Boys to go down to the sea in ships, boys to go up into the blue, were being trained so that they could go out and fight to make the world free for you. P One of the most outstanding examples is Bob Tufts. Bob joined the merchant navy and rose to the rank of Lieutenant. On one of his trips across, he was Chief Signals Officer for the whole convoy. This is no mean achievement for a young man around 20. I could mention more of such examples, but space does not permit. You people of London South can be proud of this record. I say, VVell done, Mr. jackson and your wireless club! -FXO TOM STEWART, L.S.C.I. '43. THE WIRELESS CLUB The accompanying photograph shows Cfrom left to right?

WAR SAVINGS AND VICTORY BONDS NE of the most important contributions made by the students of South Collegiate toward Canada's war effort took the form of War Savings Stamps, Certificates and Victory Bonds. The sale of War Savings Stamps in the school commenced in the fall of 1940, and continued until the end of january, 1946. Stamps were on sale in all the rooms one day of the week. The sales were publicized by skits, announcements in the auditorium, and by posters placed in the various rooms. A special committee of students under the leadership of a member of the staff, arranged programmes advertising the sale of stamps. ln 1943, Diane Dillon wrote a series of radio skits and announcements which were broadcast over the auditorium loud speaker system. How effective these skits xx ere may be seen by the fact that sales nearly doubled those of the previous year. As a stimulant to the com- petitive spirit in the difierent rooms, trophies in the form of Victory torches were awarded to each form with 1002, of the class buying at a sale. A special torch was awarded to the class with the highest sale. The sale of Victory Bonds in the school started during the Third Victory Loan, in October, 1942. The students responded en- thusiastically to the appeals to Buy Victory Bonds , and a total of over nineteen thousand dollars was subscribed during the seven Victory Bond campaigns held in the school. 1Ve feel that a special note of appreciation is due to Mr. McNeil and Mr. Calvert, who so efficiently handled the distribution and buying of stamps and bonds, and carried out the or- ganizing, planning and publicizing of sales which made them so successful. The following is the record of XYar Savings Stamps and Victory Bonds sold at the school during the war: School War Savings Victory Yearly Year Stamps Bonds Total 1940-1941 4,613.50 . ,. . 4,613.50 1941-1942 4,267.75 .. ,,.. .. 4,267.75 1942-1943 4,782.50 3,700.00 8,482.50 1943-1944 7,284.00 6,700.00 13,984.00 1944-1945 6,448.25 6,100.00 12,548.25 1945 1946 2,036.50 2,650.00 4,686.50 TOTAL 29,432.50 19,150.00 48,582.50 South is justly proud of this outstanding record. -JACK NOBI.E, 5A. THE GIRLS' WORK HE girls of South Collegiate have an envi- able record for their war work during the years from 1941 to 1945. During this time a Knitting Club under the supervision of Miss J. MacFarlane met once a week. The girls could bring in finished articles or receive wool to make more, at this time. These meetings were very sociable ones, made more pleasant by light re- freshments and recorded music provided by the Girls' Athletic. Practically 900 pairs of socks alone were knitted by the girls, their mothers, and interested friends, to be put in the overseas boxes. Other knitted articles made from Red Cross wool amounted to about a thousand in number, among these were numerous things for babies, for which the girls made donations in money to the Red Cross sufficient to cover the costs of the wool used. These funds were raised from dances and programmes sponsored by the Girls' Athletic. Continued on Page 54 An Appreciation lt is most fitting that we should not allow the Oracle to go to press without the insertion of a sincere tribute to the one who, to such a great extent, both planned and carried out the policy of the 1Yar Services Committee-Miss Xl. K. Macpherson. Perhaps the writing of this well- deserved tribute is about the only thing we have done without her approval. Only those privileged to share in Miss Mac- pherson's councils and activities have any ade- quate conception of the devotion with which she has laboured from the inception of the war-work in South until now. lYith unllagging zeal, and remarkable mastery of detail, Miss Macpherson has put into deeds the spirit of Churchill's words, lVe shall not falter nor fail, we shall go on to the end . Now that our small share in the fulfillment of this great undertaking is completed, we pause for a moment to salute our leader, thanking her for the patience and wisdom with which she has inspired us to see the task through. AN EXPRESSION OF THANKS Among the many extra duties devolving upon Mr. XY. T. Armstrong as Acting Vice-Principal during wartime, was that of keeping the service tiles. Always changing and always increasing, the number of addresses he handled had climbed well over the eight hundred mark before peace was declared. At least twice every year the lists were revised, and every bit of that revision passed through Mr. Armstrong's hands. It is not too much to say that the success of South's war effort depended upon the accuracy of his data. That all the boxes and letters, the cards and identification discs reached our service men and women so promptly and so regularly,is in a large measure attributable to the painstaking and enthusiastic work of our Vice-Principalhpro tem. Himself a veteran of World War I, Mr. Armstrong spared neither time, effort, nor ex- pense to bring to our Alumni on the field tokens of cheer from their old school. The ORACLE takes great pleasure in thus chronicling the thanks of South to Mr. Armstrong for his im- portant contribution. ik Pk 112 if 41 Sk We should not feel our account of our war work complete without offering an apology to any of our students whom we failed to contact during their War service period. We have heard of several whose names had not reached our notice at all. Do accept our apology, we regret very much that that happened. We should like to ask every reader of this magazine to hand in the name of any student who served in the forces whose name is not on the Honour Roll, as we want the permanent one to be as nearly perfect as possible. 23 ORACLE EDITORIAL STAFF Back Row lleft to rightl: Jim Hodgson, Ken Smith, Bill Armstrong, Brock Rachar, Don Cooper, Jim Wylie, Mr. W, T.

HIS is just a word of thanks to show our appreciation to all who loaned their brains, wit, enthusiasm and effort to make this year's Oracle the success that it really is. The students on the Editorial, Business and Circulation Staffs have really worked hard to make this school project a real highlight in the year's activities at South. It was backed up loyally by the whole student body in their effort in selling the magazine, and earlier in their con- tributions to its pages. Unfortunately there was not room for all of these to be printed. Their long hours of diligent work were given in the true school spirit! What had to be done, was done, and with a smile. They set for themselves a high objective and passed it. XVhat more could a would-be editor ask or desire? Thanks , again goes to the teaching staff who co-operated in every way to give us their as- sistance. They took the re-publication of the Oracle as a revelation of the old days at South. They seemed rejuvenated and shared the excite- ment of the students in the publishing of The Magazine . We should like to thank Prof. McCracken, of the University of Western Ontario, who so ably weeded our garden of poetry and handed us the roses. We are indebted to the advertisers who in- vested their money in the students of South, and helped to make this magazine possible. We sin- cerely hope that they are well satished with the fruits of their investments. At this time we should like to express our thanks to Mr. Wonnacott, our staff adviser, to whom much of the credit for the Oracle should go. If there were only some way we could re- place those grey hairs acquired in the last few months! Without his advice and counsel we are afraid the Oracle would not have reached the press. May our work together on this Oracle be one of our most treasured memories. -NIIKE HALLIDA Y, 5A. THE ALTERNATIVE UE to the advent of atomic energy, the nations of the world to-day face a grave alternative. It is complete destruction or world co-operation and prosperity. We saw at Hiro- shima and Nagasaki the destruction caused by the atomic bomb. We have read of the com- plexities and intricacies of its composition but we can readily understand its effect which is swift and simple. This effect can be summed up in one statement. A bomb falls-a city is swept away. This may well become a prophecy of the future unless the peoples of the world learn to' live with ont- another in friendship and mutual co-operation. lYe have just emerged from Z1 terrible world war and yet already we hear of disputes and bitter quarrels among nations. XVhy will not the nations lay all their cards on the table and be really honest with each other, and thereby refuse to be divided? If they would only use half the energy which was displayed in wartime, to secure a lasting peace, all would go well. The scientists would then divert their genius from the creation of machines of war and ,the miracle of atomic power would be used instead to rebuild the war- torn world and would make possible unheard of advances in science and mechanics. Many say, It can never be done. Man will never cease to quarrel. Wars will continue. But it must be done and it can be done. Twenty centuries ago another man pointed the way. -D. HUTCHINSON. MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD OF EDUCATION T IS with a sense of high privilege that I, as Chairman of the London Board of Education on behalf of my fellow members, bring to the Memorial Edition of The Oracle of the South Collegiate Institute, hearty greetings. I know that my fellow trustees desire me to say that we are deeply interested in this your fine undertaking and we do wish you, Good Luck in bringing it to a successful conclusion. The members of the Board have a deep sense of gratitude for the splendid contribution made by your students both in the services and those who served at home. Especially do they re- member and honour your Sacred Dead -the very flower of our Canadian Youth who sacrifice l and fought and died that they might help build the Christian world they believed in-to main- tain the honour of this country which they dearly loved-to maintain the great Christian principle that Right is Might. Therefore let us all revere their memory, honour their sacrifice, and thank God for the line example of their lives. As we think of those who paid the supreme sacrifice surely we are confronted with the great challenge of maintaining peace. Throughout the war years we prayed every day for peace, knowing that that peace could only come through Him, the great Prince of Peace. If this hard-earnesl and costly peace is to be permanent, all nations of the world everywhere must acknowledge Him as their Lord and their God. For Christ alone has the power to break down the barriers which keep men apart. He, alone, has the Power to make all men one in Christ under the common Fatherhood of our God. 25 The task of each nation is not only to build up a truly Christian nation but to build up a truly Christian world. XYe must do that or diwwith the advent of the Atomic Bomb there is no alternative. Peoples of all nations of the world must learn to follow the teaching and the prac- tice of the Christ outlined in the Sermon on the Mount , or perish. XYhat I have been trying to say is well ex- pressed in this verse with which I conclude. Lord bid war's trumpets cease, Fold the whole earth in Peace under Thy wings. Make all Thy nations one, All hearts beneath the sun, Till Thou shalt reign alone Great King of Kings. -Archdeacon W. A. TOXVNSHEND. THE PARENTS' ASSOCIATION T IS with a deep sense of appreciation that the Parents' Association acknowledge the privilege of being associated with the 1946 Oracle, a memorial edition to the fine record of students and ex-students of South Collegiate in defence of their Country. The major functions of the Parents' Association are Prize Night and Open House. Prize Night gives recognition to pupils for their academic and general class standing. This is made possible by the generous assistance of interested donors of scholarships, medals, etc., together with the splendid direction and co-operation of the Principal and Staff. Open House provides an outstanding oppor- tunity for parents to meet with the staff in their respective classrooms and discuss with them many matters of mutual interest. These meetings are given the support of the Orchestra, Glee Club and Dramatic Society, a contribution in the way of entertainment, most pleasing and acceptable to all. We, therefore, wish wholeheartedly to convey to the Principal and Staff, our genuine apprecia- tion of the splendid guidance given, which is at all times evident in the students, and places South Collegiate in an enviable position among Collegiate Institutes of this province. -I. S. NICLARTY, Pres. UNIVERSITY OF WESTERN ONTARIO SCHOLARSHIPS HE graduating class of 1945 was the largest in the history of the school, one hundred and eleven being the registration in the Upper School at the end of the year. As well as being the largest, this was also a decidedly strong year, resulting in a high number of first class honours. Eight of this class were awarded University of Western Ontario Scholarships, on the results of their 1945 Honour Matriculation examinations. 26 The General Proficiency Scholarship in Eng- lish, history, two mathematics and two foreign languages, of a value of 515600.00 was awarded to Charles Moore.

PROVINCE OF ONTARIO AND CARTER Under an agreement between the Dominion Government and the Provincial Department of Education, a number of scholarships are pro- vided each year to assist good students who might otherwise be prevented from attending university. A University Scholarship of 3400.00 was awarded to Donald Stokoe to attend the School of Practical Science at Toronto. A University of VVestern Ontario Scholarship of 35200.00 was granted Keith Smillie. Two Grade XIII Scholarships, each of a value of 310000, were awarded to Marilyn Bell and Lorna Wellington.

UNDERGRADUATE SCHOLARSHIPS The Lion's Club Scholarship of 85000, for good academic work, combined with high quali- ties of citizenship, was awarded to Shirley Harris. The Sinawik Scholarship of 350.00 for similar qualifications, went to Eileen Pedersen. The late T. G. Whiskard left an endowment to the London Collegiate Institutes, the interest from which provides a group of cash awards for each of the London Secondary Schools. From London South's share of this a group of eight Whiskard Scholarships were awarded. These scholarships, combined with the group of medals donated Qach year by members of the Collegiate Parents' Association and other interested friends, provide this school with a splendid group of Continued an Page 28 1.1-4- ins-A SOUTH STAFF Back Row, fleft to rightiz H.

THE ORCHESTRA UR many friends of former years will be glad to learn that the South Orchestra of 1945-1946 is setting a standard which has seldom been equalled and possibly never surpassed. 1Yith prestige regained by the creditable win at the Stratford Festival in May, 1945, the Orches- tra is striving to achieve even finer results this season, and an enlarged and hard working string section is giving a splendid lead. The Orchestra started off its year by playing several numbers at the usual performance on Prize Night in November. Since then it has played three times before the school in morning auditoriumsg at the lst of December, on the 31st of january and the 28th of February. On Variety Night, March 7th and Sth, the Orchestra played four numbers during the evening and filled in between other numbers to round out the programme. About March 22nd the Orchestra is again going to Stratford to play at the annual Festival and compete for the cup for the third time in order to retain it permanently. The two test pieces for Stratford, the March from Scipio by Haydn, and the Finale from Beethoven's Fifth Symphony, have been played before the school on two occasions and were two of the numbers played at Variety Night. Other pieces that have been played include such well-liked selections as the Tales from Vienna Woods and Moonlight lVIadonna as well as a couple of stirring marches, and of course, the perennial favourite Old South . It is to be hoped that the Orchestra can con- tinue for some time to play in such good form as it has shown this year. -ToM ABEL. X u O 6 2 CQCOOQQ-'l' X D 'L . X . ly., . , ,B if .

P. SJ, you will be greeted OD by none other than Red Allin and the 1945s-16 edition of the Glee Club. This year our ranks have swelled to sixty-five members including more than twenty boys. This is a far cry from the dayswhen R, H. and his press gang had to waylay those basso-not- so-profundos in the halls. XVith the increase in numbers has come a varied series of performances. In addition to our usual presentations in the auditorium, we have had the pleasure of singing over C.F.P.L. and at several local churches, thus increasing our fame , The trip to the Stratford Musical Festival was something of an innovation and it is hoped that this will become an annual affair. In the Variety Show we sang six numbers. One of these, VVanting You , was performed by a four-part male chorus, the first of its kind in South. During the year we have had several pleasant social gatherings. After singing at a church one evening, we visited the home of Mr. and Mrs. Allin, where everyone was delighted to meet their infant son. CYes! you guessed it!! He's another redheadlj VVith the coming of snow, Cat lastj, a sleighride party was held, after which we returned to school for refreshments. In the spring, those in the Glee Club who have been members for at least two years and who have been in attendance at 80'Z, of the practices, will be presented with a Glee Club pin. This event will round out one of the best years in our history. -RON SPRANG, 5A.

A jagged streak of lightning pierced the gloom, A nd showed the labourers fleeing from the field, The air held now the stillness of a tomb Uith all the feel of murky hell revealed. The first wild drops of rain fell on the earth, Then steady torrents flattened leares and grass, Rirulets to great cataracts gare birth, White all were waitingfor the storm to pass. Then suddenly the world was calm. and stilled, A nd all the hearts of men with peace were filled. -LANDON MACKENUE. 12B. MODERN ART Twenty-three blades of grass, All in a row.

THE SEAMSTRESS April is stitching with needles of rain, Her silrer thread flashes again and again. She's making a garment that cannot be seen But soon it will cover the whole earth with green. Soon in the grass her embroidery will show, Where daisies shine brightly like jtakes of white snow, A nd where the shy violet lifts her wee face, To add to the Springtime herfragrance and grace. Yes, April is stitching with jine liquid thread, She's stitching the pattern of each jtower bed, She's stitching the bark and the leaves of the trees And every green blade that will sway in the breeze April's a seamstress unmatched in her skill. She's always brought Springtime and she always wilt. She's a kind little lady who uses her art. To make earth. a garment that gladdens the heart. -J OSEPHINE BARRETT, 12B O GLORIOUS DEAD 0Glorious Dead. Rest in peace. and know that we, the tiring, Pledge our strength and honour to the cause.

Em1oR's NllTPQIY-'ThE Oracle staff is deeply indebted to Prof. George XY. McCracken of the lfniversity of Western Ontario for consenting to judge the poems submitted in the poetry contest. Prof. McCracken is the head of the new School of journalism at the University. Prof. McCracken made the following comment on his standard for judging the poems: I have made my selec- tions on the theory that young poets should not be penal- ized too heavily because their critical sense lags behind their inspiration. He has awarded first prize to The XVqlf Hunt by Tom Abel because it is vivid, contemporary language, so ar- ranged that its impact is many times greater than a prose description of the same event would be. He states that among his reasons for awarding second prize to Winter by Mary Rollo are the skilful management of the adjectives bold , bluff and free and the excellence of the line strong binder of the brook and brake . Honourable Mention is made of the following: The Storm by Lan- don Mackenzie, Modern Art by May Smith, At Dun- kirk by Marilyn Barnes, The Seamstressu by Josephine Barrett, Oh Glorious Dead by Ken Smith. The Oracle is also publishing several poems written by former students during the years of VVorld VVar II. While these poems are not eligible for prizes, they are of interest ais refflzecting the thoughts of students during those years 0 stri e. 33 , Q f I f 4 . ,, A. A ,- ... V , V . , . .. , ,,s,,u, --.

AYIIXIG been requested quite forcibly to write an essay, 1 am sure the only proper thing to do is to write a very excellent, whimsical piece of work, comparable, say, to Stephen I-eacock's Aly Financial Career , or blames 'l'hurhcr's XYake Up and Live, Eh? The thought, of course, enters my mind that these essays were written by experts who have been in the game a long time. Ah, yes! But I'm human the same as they are, and surely I'm capable of handling an essay with the same masterful touch as the experts. XVhat's more, I go to school. So, convinced that I am capable of at least equalling the best writers, I shall begin lo look about for material with which to work. lt seems the first thing I should do is to choose a topic tsometimes I'm actually brilliantb, but how am l to write a personal essay on such sug- gested topics as Deep Sea Fish of the St. Law- rence Rive-r , or Eskimo Ladies' Fashions of Yesterday and Today ? The answer is quite obvious, in spite of my ability I can not do it. This means I must unearth a topic much more personal. The one that comes to mind is some- thing which has been, unfortunately, a heavy burden on my mind for some time, namely, My Faults According to My Parents . Immediately a difficulty comes to light, should I list these faults alphabetically or chronologi- cally? It seems that the laws of development would demand the latter, so I shall commence to catalogue my faults. This advancement sees another obstacle looming ahead, that of transi- tion. Transition, I have been told, is the linking of the thoughtsg however, in order to be abso- lutely sure, I shall check with the dictionary. But what's this? Transition is A passing from one subject to another l Does this necessitate a change of subject to perhaps Onion Growing in Ontario ? XVell, I have considerable faith in Noah. But if we continue with the history of Onion Growing in Ontario , in no time at all we shall be relating the life history of lNlr. lllit- chell Hepburn. Is this transition? A bridge across the gap of thought? IVho ever heard of an onion bridge? I'm sure lXlr. Hepburn hasn't. So resolutely I will return to the subject at hand, My Faults According to My Parents . Now what do I do? Surely it is not enough merely to make a list. Yet, what more is there to say? The last word seems to have been said. Un the other hand, how can I make a complete list? This is an essay l'm writing, not a book. For some helpful advice let's refer to 'fVVake Up and Live, Eh? Here Mr. Thurber has a list, not unlike the one I have prepared, which has each part numbered and arranged in a logical order. But that is not all! Those parts are punctuated with paragraphs having no relation to the rest of the essay, which are undoubtedly transitional paragraphs. I must certainly, then, Continued on Page 50 34 ALONG THE CLIFF PATH T was an ideal night for suicide. Driven by a cold east wind, the fog swirled across the har- bour and high over the rocks at the entrance. The waves dashed unceasingly against the rugged shore and the distant moon had finally vanished completely behind sullen clouds. Slowly a man ascended the steep path to the cliffs and stood looking with contempt at the feeble glow cast by the lighthouse as it attempted to cut through the dense fog. He was a striking- looking man. If his face had been less gannt and his back less stooped he would have been ex- tremely handsome. He stood peering down, his grey eyes half-blinded by the biting wind, his fingers clutching nervously at the flapping fold of his grimy oilskin. For an instant he glanced back over his shoulder-but only for an instant. His lips curled in a cynical smile. There was no turning back now. Faintly at first, but gradually increasing in volume, came the sound of someone whistling. Again the man turned, his gaze trying to pene- trate the fog. Someone else was climbing the cliff path. Stones, loosened by the tread of heavy shoes, went careening down the side of the cliff to be swallowed by the waves below. The whistling stopped and a rich baritone took up the refrain. A second tall hgure appeared from out of the mist and stopped abruptly. Sharp blue eyes met steady grey ones. A strong hand rose un- consciously to brush a shock of blonde hair from a high intelligent forehead. VVhy, hello! I didn't expect to meet anyone else up here on a night like this. It's a wonderful spot though-one of my favourites. See the way the rock juts out over thelw He was rudely interrupted. If I had been planning to come here for the purpose of enjoying the view, I certainly would not have chosen this night for it. Oh! I beg your pardon. Might I ask for what purpose you are here? I have no means of preventing your talking. Thus rebuffed, the young man was silent. Presently he shoved his hands deep into the pockets of his well-worn jacket, turned his back on his companion and very softly resumed his whistling. He strolled to the edge of the cliff and stood idly watching the giant waves as they crashed against the unyielding rocks below. Stubbornly they stood there, each refusing to make an attempt either at departure or at con- versation. Finally, as if stirred by a sudden impulse, the younger man approached the stoop- ed figure standing a few feet away from him and gently placed a firm hand on the trembling shoulder. Are you sure you don't want to talk to me? Half an hour later a cheery whistle was heard. Someone descended the path. Stones, loosened Continued on Page 75 ..

The graduates, whether of recent or more distant days, always have the same ques- tion, How are things at the school? So when the war was over, the unanimous opinion was that some arrangement should be made to get the old boys together for a reunion. A staff committee was appointed which started the movement rolling. This committee invited some ex-students to join them and the group shown in the accompanying picture are now working to make the idea come true. Invitations are heing sent to all ex-service graduates to attend a gathering at the school on Saturday, May 25th. This is for those who were in the services as it was felt that a reunion of all ex-students would he too large an undertaking until those in charge had more experience in such I'l121ttEI'S. -H. B.

They have thus sig- nified their willingness to do anything they can to help us either with personal or financial assist- ance. Mr. XYilliam Buchanan, President of London Lions Club, 1944-45, first sponsored the idea. l-le had a special committee set up within the club to investigate and report what might be done. The committee was composed of Mr. Lorne MacLeod, chairman, Mr. Angus McMas- ter, Mr. Bert Pearson and Nr. Bert bl. Beattie- Mr. Beattie was to act as liaison officer. In the spring of 1945 they supplied cars to transport the orchestra to Stratford to compete at the Musical Festival. From this festival the orchestra were successful in bringing home the cup. Fifty dollars was donated for a scholarship to be awarded on a basis to be determined by the staff of South Collegiate. This scholarship was first awarded to Shirley Harris for General Pro- ficiency in Grade XII. In the fall of 1945 our rugby teams found themselves almost destitute for sweaters. A fast bit of work and a sum of better than 215200 from London Lions Club soon saw our teams equipped with new maroon sweaters. The president of London Lions Club for 1945--46, Mr. Carlton VVells, is taking just as keen an interest in our Collegiate as his prede- cessors. As a result we have a sympathetic ear for any of our wants. South is indebted to this group of professional and business men for all they have done, and hopes that this tie will not soon be broken.

THE AIR CADETS URING war years the three services in Can- ada's national defence system promoted and developed cadets in the secondary schools of the country. The South Collegiate undertook to form an air cadet squadron and under the leader- ship of Mr. Freeman, this organization became a very strong unit in the movement. The boys were given instruction in drill, navi- gation, theory of flight, air frames, aero-engines, Continued on Page 76 :url , lr-ann rs -4 52 I' ' 4 let S Sl I gf , Q ' v up -- .,,.uJ:.A,-,. 1.3, ,A-x-...H -- Isa' THE HONCE OVER SIX GAME SCHEDULE FACES MAROONS RUGBY Central vs. South HE year 1945-46 showed the people of Lon- don that when rugby is mentioned, the south side cf the city is in no way lacking either in players or in coaching. This year South proved to have a very excellent team but they were finally ousted. Every player in the team gave a standout performance, being very ably coached by Mr. Beattie. Our thanks are also extended to Mr. Cranfield who gave up his free time to teach the boys a few tricks he picked up at college. The South juniors also gave a good account of themselves by ending up on top of the junior schedule. BASKETBALL Here again we are nothing to be sneezed at. The highly-rated Central Senior squad suffered one defeat in the city VV.O.S.S.A. play-offs, and that was to none other than our own Seniors. All this goes to prove that we have one of the top high school senior squads in the Province. The South juniors have really burned a trail of victories that will be remembered for a long time. They have played through their scheduled games without a loss and have gone on to win the VV.O.S.S.A. semi-fmals and finals in an un- forgettable series. Each player has given a splen- did account of himself. Mr. Allin has trained the boys thoroughly and both he and the team are to be highly congratulated on the signal honour of bringing the first W.O.S.S.A. Basket- ball Championship to South. ln the coming spring term it is hoped that we will have a good entry in the W.O.S.S.A. track meet and bring home a few honours. It is also hoped the inter-school baseball series will be continued again. A Senior and junior Boys' Tennis Tournament is planned for the near fu ture. A --BILL W1NsLow. South wins in opening grid game. Bert Beattie-'s Klaroons showing su1'cz'ior tim- ing and blocking, set back the tiexitral Golden Ghosts to the tune of 18-1. C'entral's only count was made on the last play after seven tries for a touchdown. The first touchdown of the game proved to be the smartest play of the night. Burgess walked through the Ghosts with little effort on a rex erse. Halliday's kicking, plus Burgess' running, prox ed a winning combination for South. Dalton. Skin- ner and hlcliegney also proved to be good for the winners. Beck vs. South Halliday scores all points as Klaroons take lead with 8-4 win over Beck. Beck Green XYaves made a desperate bid for victory in the first game when Astles booted four long drives. South Maroons kept the eight point lead they set up in the first half. but the threatening Green VVaves hitting hard on the line stopped them for the last half, allowing them over the centre line only twice. South's line saved the day, time and time again. South vs. Tech South Maroons smash their way to a shutout victory at Labatt Park. The lvlaroons, showing superior passing and blocking, downed the Tech Raiders 25--0. Halliday's fine running and bullet passes proved to be the Raiders' downfall. Dalton also did some excellent running. Morton and Mc- Kegney who each scored a touchdown, were standouts for the Maroons. VVinslow also played a headsup game for the Maroons. South vs. Central South again triumphs in School Grid game. After scoring a second quarter single, South managed to hold Central scoreless to win by 1e0.

JUNIOR BASKETBALL South vs. St. Thomas Tech. Mr. Allin's well-trained juniors opened their basketball season with a decided victory over the St. Thomas squad. The hrst half was quite slow, both teams lack- ing drive. At the half, South led 17f10. In the third quarter, South put on the pressure with Davidson and Davey as leaders. This drive continued in the final quarter when they added 17 points to their lead, making the final score 4244 in their favour. Davidson was- high scorer for South, tallying 17 points. South vs. St. Thomas C. I. The second VVOSSA game was another easy win for the juniors. lt was their first game away from home. It started very slowly with the score at the end of the first quarter 6f2 for South. In the second quarter, however, they found their stride and were leading at its close 13-7. Again in the third and fourth quarters they worked smoothly and added 23 more points to their score, making a total of 36 to their oppo- nents 12. As in the previous game Davidson topped the list in points with a total of 15. South vs. Beck The juniors added still another game to their 40 winning streak when they took Beck Collegiate 52-24. The opening quarter was a little sloppy, es- pecially in passing. South, however, was on the larger end of the score at the end of the half, leading 29-12.

The Grade 11 girls turned out in full force and played some really good games. The winning team was 11C and these girls showed promise for future basketball activities. The girls of Grade 12 and 5th year played a fascinating series and the games were both fast and exciting. The two 5th year forms were win- ners, with 5B leading and 5A the runners up. 11C played 5A in the semi-finals and the out- come was in favour of the 5A girls. The playoff between 5A and 5B was very fast and the 5B team won, to be acclaimed the champions of their school series. South vs. Central The afternoon of February 1, Miss lXlacFar- lane and her Senior Girls' Basketball team taxied to Central to play the Golden Ghosts . Tricky playing and passing brought South a victory with twenty-four points chalked up against Central's seven. Coniinued on Page GS G. A. A.

BASEBALL This year the girls took a keen interest in base- ball. The inter-form games were played after school with the first year games at the end of the schedule. To give the first year girls a better knowledge of baseball, each form was coached by a Senior girl. Officials were chosen from the third, fourth and fifth years. In grade nine, form A came out on top after defeating stiff opponents. 10D led second year and 11C third year. The final game between 12A and 5A was very close and exciting with fourth year edging out a victory, Miss MacFarlane was the umpire who called all the important decisions. To each girl on the winning team will be awarded the small garnet and grey baseball crest.

I believe, by the way, those seventy-nine would be much better if they were relating to the subject: however, we experts have to bring transition into the development. As for a conclusion, the closest thing I can arrive at is a postscript saying something like, Don't miss next month's issue of Friction Magazine .

Davidson and Adams showed excellent form and led the team to their third straight victory. Davidson was high scorer for South, adding 15 more points to his record, making a total of 47 points in three games. South vs. Central South handed Central a very convincing 46-24 trouncing. They started off well, leading 27-11 at the half-way mark. They worked just as hard in the last half and added 19 more points to their lead giving them their 46e24 win. Davidson made 15 of the 46 points, Adams and Davey posted 10 each. South vs. Tech The junior squad literally walked their way to victory in this game. Tech couldn't stop them at all. Gord Davidson had a scoring field day, tallying 21 points, the whole team showed amazing skill in their shooting and passing. Gord Davidson leads all the players in junior XVOSSA Basketball in points with a total of 83 points in 5 games. 52 South vs. St. Thomas The juniors lengthened their winning streak when they swamped the St. Thomas quintet 35-13. Ken Adams was the Big Gun for South with 13 points to his credit. The first half was quite fast with St. Thomas doing some smooth passing. However, their shooting ability was very lacking. The score at its close read 13-5 for our boys. The final half was all South's. Adams set the scoring pace for South with his 13 points. This was the second defeat for the St. Thomas team by our juniors. South vs. Beck Mr. Allin's undefeated Juniors added another victory to their record when they took Beck C. I. 36-18. They had no trouble at all in breaking the Beck defence and by half time they were leading 20-9. The last half was a repetition of the first with Davidson leading his team-mates to their 3648 victory. Davidson was high scorer in this game, with Davey and Adams showing excellent form. South vs. Central The juniors had to work for their 28-25 vic- tory over the much improved Central squad. They found it tough going all the way, leading 13-9 at half time. The last half was very close with Central play- ing brilliantly on defence as well as on offence. In the closing moments of the game, however, South took the lead and kept it, ending the closest game played by them this year. Davidson was high scorer in this game with Gerlach standing out on his excellent playing. South Juniors Clinch Championship Led by Captain Gord Davidson, the South juniors defeated Tech by the score of 32430. Davidson was the leading scorer for South with 13 points. He was followed closely by Alan Lansing who scored 9 points. Harry Gerlach again played an outstanding game for South. To a considerable extent it has been GerIach's defensive play that has got South as far as they are in the XVOSSA grouping. South vs. St. Thomas Tech South juniors under the coaching of IXIr. Allin, proved to be too tough for local opposition this vear. Their defeat of St. Thomas to end the schedule, brought to a close one of South's best years of basketball. They were never defeated, although one game ended in a very close score. It was the scintillating stars-Davidson, Adams, Lan- sing and Gerlach who helped greatly to make this possible. In the St. Thomas game, Davidson scored a total of 18 points, swelling his total for the ten game series to 150 points. Lansing and Adams also played well on the offensive. GerIach's defensive play made him a standout of the game also. -DON Foovtik, 1261 THE PLAYOFFS Semi-final-South vs. St. Jerome's South juniors easily outscored the Kitchener quintet as quick breaks built up an impressive lead of 23-10 by half-time. During the third quarter St. jerome's threatened, but in the last stanza South turned on the heat and easily eli- minated the opposition to the tune of 36-24.

Dur- ing the first half, South had some trouble crack- ing a stiff zone defence set up by the opposition, but led at the half 13-12. In the third quarter South gradually began to fathom the zone de- fence, and slowly crept ahead. During the fourth quarter South broke away time and again and finally in the last four minutes forced Ken- nedy to break up their zone. Then South walked away with the game, the final score being 37-22. Gord Davidson sparked the team to victory by scoring 17 points as well as setting up some nice plays. Harry Gerlach again played a very solid game at defence, as did Bob Davey, who also scored 7 points. This victory brought to South the first VV.O.S.S.A. Basketball championship ever won by a London school. -R. VVONNACOTT. THE GIRLS' WORK Confirmed from Page 23 In 1941, a rather unusual project was under- taken. Good woolen uniforms, no longer worn by basketball teams, were donated by the G.A.A to the Lambeth branch of the Red Cross. There, clever dressmakers turned these articles into attractive dresses and jumpers for children and dispatched them to countries where most needed. In addition, 24 heavy sweaters, from the same source as the uniforms, were packed and shipped direct to the Soldiers-', Sailors' and Airmen's Association in Peterborough, Scotland, by the Girls' Athletic. In 1942, the girls worked diligently to collect articles for the Russian Clothing Relief and were well rewarded for their efforts by securing a total of over 250 good articles of clothing. During this same year, about IXovember, a very keen interest was taken in the opening of the VVomen's Active Service Club in London. The task of furnishing four rooms was undertaken by four groups of South girls financed by the G.A.A. The rooms were very highly praised by all who saw them, for their home-like and attractive appearance: needless to say, those whose work it was, got great pleasure from the undertaking. All during the war years many tag days were held throughout the city. Hardly one slipped by without at least 40 to 50 South girls partici- pating in it. The many different groups in the city came to depend on the girls from South to make their tag days a success. From the standpoint of finances alone, South girls have made a notable contribution. Over the years from 1941-1945 they donated about 35136.00 to the Red Cross and 54295.00 to the War Services Committee in the school for their work. This money was raised mainly by parties and dances sponsored by the Girls' Athletic Association. Surely South girls may well be proud of this war record! -JEAN YOUNG, 5A VARIETY NIGHT FTER a rest of five war years there was con- siderable scepticism among outsiders that South's Variety night of '46 would not compare with the pre-war type. How wrong they were! On the nights of March 7 and 8, the auditorium was packed to overflowing to see some one hun- dred and seventy South students I erform. With Mr. Byles as conductor, South's forty- three piece orchestra played four numbers by Strauss, Zdenko Fibich, Handel and Beethoven. These gave evidence of the excellent work of the orchestra and were greatly enjoyed by the audi- ence. Other musical entertainment was afforded by the Glee Club under the able direction of Mr. Allin. They rendered six numbers and Anne Marie Prentice sang two solos. Believe it or not, several of the girls were seen swooning when -lim McLean of the Glee Club sang the solo part of VVanting You , accompanied by the Male Chorus. Almost all of the years were represented in variety night. A pirate dance was presented by Grade 9 girls supervised by Miss F. Nichols, and an Indian dance by Grade 10 girls under Miss L. Thompson: a series of exercises was performed by the girls of the Upper School under the able direction of Miss -I. MacFarlane. Don't let it be said that the girls stole the show, for Mr. Dinsmore directed a gymnasium team of eleven boys in tumbling. Their work was perfectly executed. The programme was continually being inter- rupted by the unscheduled appearances of XVaI- den Allen, Dick Hutchinson and Bob Hayman who pestered the audience with skits and songs. But the people loved them. Later Dick came back to give a recitation of the Drummer Boy, Sam Small , which kept the audience convulsed with laughter. The last number on the programme was a one- act play, A Man of Ideas , by Miles Malleson. Frank Cartwright, a wealthy English gentleman, played by Bill Brett, and his guest, Billy Good- man, portrayed by Tom Maynard, captured a prowler, whose part was taken by Ken Shantz. Marion MacVicar who took the part of Frank Cartwright's sister added suspense to the play by coming down to warn the two gentlemen of the prowler's presence. It is fitting to add here our congratulations to Mrs. Carr-Harris for her undaunted patience and perseverance in producing the play, and to ex- press our thanks to Bill Winslow, Hugh Mac- kenzie, 'Iudy Glass, Bob Hayman and Ernie Richards who worked so diligently behind the scenes. - After the last performance on Friday evening a party was given for all the members of the cast of Variety night. It was greatly enjoyed and appreciated. -TOM MAYNARD. ESTABLISHED IB85 Ross ' Limited Manufacturing Furriers and Ladies' Wear IIE! Heart Warming Styles with that touch of youth .....

It was the hardest fought pre-schedule game played by the Seniors. It ended in a story-book finish. Chuck Dalton, star centre for South, was given a free shot. The score at this point was tie 35 35. Dalton's shot was good, putting South in the lead by one point. Dalton then fouled Leth- bridge, giving him a shot which he failed to put in. The hard-fought game was over with South winning by one point. South vs. St. Thomas Tech. The Seniors started their 1946 XYOSSA season with an easy win over the St. Thomas Tech. Seniors. The final score read 41-25 in their favour. Led by Charlie Dalton and Henry Skinner, they worked their way to a 20 ltl lead at half time. The final half was all theirs too. Dalton was high scorer with 17 points. Skin- ner trailed with 11. McAffer played a good game for the opponents. South vs. St. Thomas C. I. South had no trouble in taking the St. Thomas C. l. either. The absence of Charlie Dalton, star player for the Seniors, seemed to have no effect on the smooth work of the team. Skinner led his team-mates in an all-out of- fensive which gave them the lead at half time 20-13. The last half was also in their favour from the start to finish. The final score was 42-29. Skinner was high scorer for South with 17 points. South vs. Beck C. I. The illness which had kept Charlie Dalton out of the previous game with St. Thomas C. I. had no effect on his ability to lead the squad in a basket-getting offensive in this, their third scheduled game. They outplayed the Beck boys in all helds. At the end of the first half the score was in favour of South 27-13. They had little trouble in the final half of the game and at its close the score read 56-23. Dalton added 20 points to his record, Skinner getting 14 for himself. South vs. Central The South Seniors took over first place in the Senior WOSSA Basketball League when they scored a brilliant 31-29 victory over the super Central team. It was nip-and-tuck all the way, both teams showing finesse in their shooting and floor play. With less than four minutes to go Dalton scored a brilliantly-executed basket which gave South the game. gm You Said Brother! A pair of . ,. , 7. Q .

Skinner trailing him by one point. George Xliearing, Central's scoring ace, chalked up 14 points to lead the marksmen of both teams. This was the first defeat for Central by a South team in many years. South vs. Tech. Our Seniors were given their defeat of the year by a very good team from the Technical School. South led at the end of the half 16-123 at this point it had the makings of being a very close game. However, during the third quarter, South's shooting and passing were very poor. The third quarter ended 25-22 for Tech. ln the final quarter the game was never in doubt as Tech had the ball most of the time. Black and McFadden starred for Tech, scoring 8 and 12 points respectively. This loss put South, Central and Tech in a three-way tie for first place. South vs. St. Thomas Collegiate South Seniors defeated St. Thomas Seniors 29 -17. Led by Chuck Dalton, South Seniors defeated St. Thomas Seniors 29-17. Dalton scored 17 points to be the big star of the game. South vs. Beck South Seniors defeated Beck Seniors 65-29. Led by Captain Chuck Dalton, South Seniors walked away with a XVOSSA Senior Basketball game by the score of 65-29. Dalton scored 21 points and he was followed closely by Skinner who had 14 points. Mike Halliday also played a good game, scoring 10 points. This great vic- tory for South was their revenge over Beck for the football defeat. South vs. Central South Seniors drop game to Central by the score of 32-19. South Seniors were defeated by Central at the Central gymnasium by the score of 32-19. South's top scorers were held very close by two very tall Central players. Vllearring guarded Dalton and held Chuck to two points. Stone was guarding Mike Halliday and he held Mike to one point. The only successful South player was Skinner who scored 8 points. South vs. Tech Vlfith Captain Chuck Dalton playing one of his most outstanding games, the South Seniors were just nosed out by Tech 32-31. Dalton scored 14 points, nearly half of the team's total. Skinner played a good game, as he scored 8 points. Fouls were costly to South, and they also proved costly to Tech. South had some poor shooting throughout the game which was very costly. This loss puts South out of the city run- ning for the WOSSA play-downs. South vs. St. Thomas Tech. ln the last game of the regular schedule of Senior Basketball, the South Seniors were nosed out by the St. Thomas Seniors 25-21.

Since then the school programme of the students has been motivated toward assisting in the war effort. Many students have shortened their year's work to assist in Farm Service. Qthers have carried on a great deal of war work in the school programme, or in other war organiza- tions outside the school. These have all made splendid contributions. About nine hundred of our graduates or students straight from the class-room enlisted for Active Service. Of this number about sixty have made the supreme sacri- fice. We wish to pay tribute to all who served, but in a very particular way we desire to honour those who will not return with their Hello, South-eitis good to see the school once more. The Gracie is being published this year to make per- manent this history of the school and in this way honour the memory of our heroes and also our Hue students of those strenuous years. T. S. H.

Compliments of CAPITOL THEATRE Showplace of London -DURING iiiititititiii ii-ask tit s. c. 1., the titst year victims were gaily decorated with multi-coloured dunce caps. tied under their chins with wide boxx s. Under the iron ruling of their seniors. they were compelled to pull their books to school in six-quart baskets. The climax came on Friday night, October 12. After the rugby game at Labatt Park, we trooped back in the pouring rain to the school for our annual Girls' Party. Lillian Todoroff led the sing-song in the audi- torium with Marilyn Barnes at the piano. Beryl Rafuse, vice-president of the G.A.A., in attempt- ing to punish Frosh who had disobeyed the rules, caused a great deal of excitement. Fifth year enacted, in pantomime, a skit of VVinnie the Pooh , while Lillian Todoroff read the story. Romeo and Juliet by fourth year, was a great success with Landon Mackenzie as Romeo, throwing roses at Barb Mapletoft on the top of Mr. Hill's step ladder. Future fashions for every month were shown by third year. Second year skit was a riot. The handsome hero Joyce Halliday saved the Princess, Shirley Saull, in the tower. At the completion of the skits, the girls dashed to the gymnasium to dance until their year was called to the cafeteria for their hot dog, choco- late milk and apple. At eleven o'clock the juniors took off their hair bows and dunce caps, having been initiated to South. SOCIAL STUDENT COUNCIL DANCE EPTERYBER already and we're back at school! XYe welcome back many of our old students and many new ones. It's time to get acquainted and have our Iirst school dance sponsored by the Students' Council. Everyone was there and South's activities got well under- way. -LILLIAN Tooonotfif. RUGBY DANCE December at last! Boy, were we glad that those terrible creations called exams were over? At last we could forget about them for a while and many South students staggered over to the school that night to forget their sorrow. It was the annual Rugby Dance and the last dance of the school year, 19-15. The rugby team was quite successful this year and so was their dance. BENEFIT DANCE Come onel Come all! And we did. lt was a benefit basketball dance for a South student injured last fall in rugby practice. XXI- invited the St. Thomas team down. The result was a good time, a good crowd, and a good game. If no one had heard Let It Snow before, they knew it off by heart before the evening was over. It seems the .luke Box broke down. tRememlJer?j LA FIESTA DE LOS AMIGOS UE to the cold and stormy weather here at South the senior students and grads took a trip to Old Mehico for our annual Senior at Home. There the palm trees tluttered and swayed in the breeze, mules were tied to corral fences and the tired Mexicans slept. Our ball room Ccommonly known as the gyml was completely transformed into an enchanting Mexican picture. The entrance was converted into a door of hacienda where Mexican figures greeted the smiling couples. The walls were adorned with picturesque Mexican scenes where the vivid reds, blues and yellows came to life. Around the scenery went brightly-painted silent drums to protect us from daubing our clothes with crayon. The back-drop of sky, mountains and human flgures and the old corraI in the corner completed the transformation. Seniors and beautiful senioritas danced and swayed to the sweetest music of Bill Beecroft. The highlight of the evening was an acrobatic dance by Jacky May and songs by Earl Plun- kett, two grads from South who are welcome back at any time. The memory-raising programmes told a com- plete story of their own. No one was found sharing an aspirin and all remarks were complimentary. La Fiesta De Los Amigos , The Friendly Gathering was completely suc- cessful and will always be remembered by those who visited Old lVIehico . Congratulations are in order to the very efficient committee which directed the arrangements. - - from the little print 1'tvtrlIl - - PRINTS REPRODUCTIONS IN COLOUR from ORIGINAL PAINTINGS f-OU ' tt 'illfchuialgitrluilp Artistic Ladies' Wear LIVIITED 158 Dundas St. London's Style Centre For XYOIIICII, Misses and juniors Air-Conditioned For Your Comfort C00 J.

The girls weren't nearly as shy as the boys pretend to be and each t'colleen brought her favourite man to the gathering of the green . It was quite a formal affair. Most of the boys had corsages of some description or other, vegetable or otherwise, and we even had an orchestrainstead of a juke box that usually gets stuck. We all had to wear green to get in. Most of us have been broke since. After the dance most of the boys insisted on having a hot chicken dinner at our expense but we really didn't mind, as long as it just happens once a year. The co-ed was lots of fun and one of the most successful dances of the year. --LILLIAN ToDoRoFF. BASKETBALL Continued from Page 42 In the first quarter, Betty Jean Townshend scored seven points for our credit.

St. Thomas vs. South South Girls' Basketball team invited the girls from St. Thomas Vocational School to a game in our gymnasium. The game was fast and well played with Marilyn Bell piling up the majority of points for the t'Garnet and Grey . The South girls won the game with a score of 2441. After the game an appetizing meal was served to the teams by the members of the G.A.A. Later, South made the journey to St. Thomas. Here again they played their way to another victory. South led all the way with the final score standing at 30-14. The team then enjoyed a delicious meal served by the St. Thomas girls and returned home, tired but happy. ' Tech vs. South The Senior Girls' Basketball team met their first defeat Friday, February 15th, at the Tech- nical School when they were outscored 26-20. The Tech team led by Marion Clarke was swift and tricky. They piled up points in the first half and South was not able to overcome this lead. QThe team puts part of the blame on the ride in Anna Baker's carj. Although the game was a defeat, We're in the game but not for fame , and the girls thor- oughly enjoyed it. Editor's Note The girls wish to thank Miss MacFarlane, Miss Thompson and Miss Nichols who have made our girls' sports one of the main activities in the school. They have devoted a great deal of their time after school to training those in- terested in badminton, baseball and basketball. MR. E. C. HILL AND MR. L. MCCALL These two men over the years have given most faithful service to the school. Their excellent work in caring for the building and equipment is very deeply appreciated. We would like to express our appreciation for their constant willingness, too, in helping in all kinds of extra duties involved by parties and extra-curricular activities. , 69 GEA 9 DAIRY BAR 352 DUNDAS STREET IVIET. 33ll A GOOD PLACE TO MEET Try Our FAMOUS COFFEE Compliments of International Business Machines Co Ltd. Electric Accounting Machines Electric Writing Machines Time Recording Machines London's Community 'Theatre TI-IE GRAND Owned and Operaled by LONDON LITTLE THEATRE SOUTH PLAYS A PART ABROAD South follows with deep interest the work of her graduate students abroad. Notable among these is john Wendell Holmes who left our halls in 1929 first to take an arts course in W'estern U , then a post graduate course in history as the winner of the Alumni Memorial Scholarship at the University of Toronto. After further study abroadrand Government service in Ottawa in the Department of Foreign Affairs, john was appointed in january, 1945, to join the staff of the Canadian High Commissioner, Mr. Vincent Massey, at Canada House, London, in an ad- visory capacity. In the course of the respon- sible duties that fall to his lot in the Department of External Affairs, john has just shared in the recent deliberations of the first UNO Conference. It has been his privilege to see at first-hand the inauguration of this momentous experimente- the beginnings of a world-state, and to study CanacIa's part in it. Another of South's gifted graduates, Robert A. D. Ford, has also been taking his part in the arduous sessions of UNO. Bob left South in 1932, graduated from Western U , and later became a member of the Canadian Embassy at Rio de janiero. During his four years in Latin America Bob visited practically every country there, gaining a wide experience of races and governments. Now connected with the Depart- ment of External Affairs in the Canadian Em- hassy in London, Bob is serving his Country in this important moment when the future trends of world relationship are in the making. South is represented abroad by her women graduates also. To select two whose work links us with great lands and movements, we cite Edna hlay Oram in the Canadian Embassy in Moscow and Doris hlyers with UNRRA in Germany. Edna has been in Moscow for about a year acting as one of the secretaries under the direction of lXlr. Dana Wilgress, Canadian Am- bassador to the U.S.S.R. Here Edna has the pleasure of meeting otlzers similarly engaged in the British and American Embassies, and re- ports finding life in hloscow an enjoyable ex- perience indeed. Doris Myers is working in the administration of UNRRA at its headquarters in Germany. A former Flight Officer in the R.C.A.F. tXV.D.j, Doris was the first London girl to be commis- sioned in the air force. Recently she writes from her post in Germany: It is very interesting to see how well people of many Nationalities can work and play to- gether under rather strained circumstances. And I say strained because it is not easy for people of many languages and customs to come together under one roof and cast ol? their many individual characteristics. It just doesn't happen. The French and Belgians still remain very, very polite, the Eng- lish are still very reserved, the Americans still 'Devil may care', and we Canadians are, so they tell us, 'just in between the English and Ameri- cans'. XVe never know whether to take it as a compliment or not. As an example of the many nationalities hereg I attended a private musical evening last week, and out of 14 people present, there were 8 nationalities represented. One of these was the German pianist from the Dresden Philhar- monic Orchestra who provided the entertain- ment. It was rather thrilling to think that there we sat representatives of 7 Allied Countries listening to a very beautiful presentation of musical masterpieces of Bach, Beethoven, Mo- zart and Chopin, by a German pianist. A year ago we w'ouldn't have dreamed it could ever happen. ' 1 It might also interest the students who are studying languages to know that all the Con- tinental members of the staff here speak English and French as Well as their own language, and many of them speak German, too, while the majority of the English staff speak English only. The English say that the Continentals have more opportunity to learn other languages, but I sometimes think that we let the same oppor- tunities slip through our fingers.

Skinner then carried it 19 more yards, before Halliday lifted the ball to Central's deadline for the only score. It was a very close game and South remained on top with four wins and no losses. South vs. Beck South Maroons lose to Beck by score of 7-2. Beck showed superior timing to give them the edge over the Maroons. This was South's first defeat of the season. Beck's line was as solid as a brick wall. Dalton, Steadman, Burgess and Halliday were the pick of the Maroons. South vs. Tech South defeats Tech 16-2 to force a play-off game with Beck. In this game, South was in command all the way. Halliday opened the first quarter, kicking two points. In the second quarter, Steadman ran 90 yards for a pair of touchdowns. Halliday converted both. Halliday kicked a single in each of the remaining quarters to end the scoring. Dalton also played an outstanding game. South vs. Beck Play-off game for City Championship. Beck tears South line to shreds as they bat- tered out a 12-0 win. Putting on a great exhibition of ground plays, Beck simply tore the South line apart. South fought gamely, and were still in the game until Burgess fumbled on the kick-off of the second half. Chuck Dalton turned in a terrific game for South. I-le ran for long gains around the ends and was lXflaroon's most consistent ground gainer. This loss brought South's football season to a close. -DON COOPER, 12C. SOMEWHERE IN ENGLAND Somewhere in England there's a little town, lfltith thalch-roofed houses of ancient reno'u'n. In the drowsy stillness of a sunzmer's day A handful of people are wending their way To a little stone church on a hill-side green, Where the flag of Empire aloft can be seen. There in the churchyard, with sanctity blest, A Canadian flyer is borne to his rest. Far from his home and those he holds dear, He is cared for with reverence by the villagers there. His last resting-place is hallowed with lo1'e,' And the flowers of England are planted above. -JANE DINGLE, 12A. 73 gr ing one ouufrp THE L. S. C. I.

THE AIR CADETS Couliizued from Page 38 meteorology and many other subjects useful in air crew training. As a result many of the cadets joined the R.C.A.F. and took the trainingin that service. Bob Firth, Earl Hughes, john Roe, Murray Robinson, jack Orchard, Bruce Todd, jack Dinsmore, Bob Lawrence, Jack Hay, jack Kerr were some of the boys who enlisted in the Air Force. Now that the war is over the Department of Education has decided that the boys in the secondary schools of Ontario should continue to take cadet training. So a regulation has been passed which stipulates that the boys in Grades 10, 11 and 12 are required to take part in tliis training during the school year. They do not take the work with the same intensity as they did during the pressing necessity of wartime but it is felt that the activities will be of very great benefit, especially to those who may be interested in joining the peace-time Air Force. The boys are doing their work earnestly and thoroughly and it is thought that they will receive a great deal of development from it. -H. B. D1NsMoRE. ABEL: Who invented the radio?

Qf all the rooms of dear old South, it's true, There's only one which lingers in my mind, Long after I have gone, and left behind The hallowed halls through which I often flew At half-past one, or nine o'clock, or two, If I were late. But then when four was come In Room Thirteen, first throwing out my gum, A half an hour I'd spend, then I was through. This room, of all the rest, I'll ne'er forget, For one whole hour elsewhere was ne'er so longg The mentor's threatening voice is with me yet. But now I realize that I was wrong, And just how much those years to me have meant,' They were the best of all that I hate spent! -D. HUTCHINSON.

S440 725-727 Richmond street WE SELL SNAPPY M DE To R CLOTHES FOR LADIES AND GENTS ' A GREAT MAN ARK Sullivan said, Before our living eyes is grandeur of action, and stature of per- sonality unsurpassed in history . I, too, believe that we have seen greatness in our time in the person of NVinston Churchill. When we heard him on the radio in his victory address we were listening to one of the truly great of history. We must recognize this and not suppose that we must look back over the centuries to hnd really heroic characters. I believe it would be possible to say that Churchill's greatness is unexcelled. His part in World War II reduces the classic figures of Rome and Greece to relatively inconsequent importance. Greatness was within him. It showed up in 1911 when he was appointed First Lord of the Admiralty and made successful a small outdated navy which, in Britain's hour of trial gave her naval supremacy. All his schemes were not suc- cessful. We all know of the Dardanelles expe- dition. The defeat there was a heavy blow to him but it did not discourage him. He turned his energy and perserverance into other fields. His greatness was shown in its finest form in the tragic time when England had to stand alone. The fall of France in 1940 created the occasion for it to emerge, and for the momentous effect it was to have on civilization. He became a national figure of courage. Nevertheless, he had great opposition, for it seems he has always needed enough courage to light the people for whom he was fighting. Back in 1937 when he warned the people of the approaching war, and was called a war-monger, he faced a conspiracy of blindness and stupidity. But, on the declara- tion of war, he did not speak his revenge. All he had to say was, If we wrangle about yester- day, we have lost to-morrow . The moving eloquence of his words at that desperate time can be contrasted with his matter- of-factness when victory came. That was part of his greatness. When disaster threatened, he did not need to summon up courage. Courage was a part of him. Churchill had a rare com- bination of the gift of action with the gift of words. He will be quoted as long as Shakespeare. Shakespeare in his plays imagined from his re- mote and sheltered study, what a leader on the eve of battle might say, while what Churchill said was actual. His words have the greater reality and the truer eloquence that goes with reality. Again I quote, Before our living eyes is grandeur of action, and stature of personality unsurpassed in history . -BOB ADAMS, 5A. MR. CALVERT: Class, I am dismissing you ten minutes early today.
