42 THE NORTHLAND ECHO muiifillliilil iixiiiiiiiifii 14M Ethel Locke In the school year 1939-40. many distinguished and interesting speakers addresed the pupils of our school. The first of these was Father Humphrey, who spoke to the students on Armistice Day. His message was in keeping with the times, dealing with the effect of the present war on the Armistice Day proceedings. At Christmas, Father Jarvis delivered a lovely mesage, urging us not to lose sight of the meaning of Christmas in the holiday time ahead of us. In the new year, the field secretary of the Red Cross, Miss Hollinger, came to the school. She urged the organization of Red Cross groups in the school to enable us to do our part in the war work. Dr. Fox, principal of the University ot' Western Ontario, was our next visitor. He gave an interesting talk on Education, saying it was too bewildering to be crystallized into a definition. He stated that teachers do not educate us, but merely give the atmosphere most encour- aging for us to educate ourselves. Dr. Fox closed with a quotation from the works of Leonardo de Vinci that set many heads to thinking: All good things are given to us, O God, at the price of labor. An inspiring speaker was Harvey Lynes, field secretary of the Institute of the Blind. Mr. Lynes urged us to tak: care of our eyes, our most precious possession. Again, as in past years. Mr. Dunlap came to us from the University of Toronto to tell us about the courses the university has to offer. He said that it is important for young people to make a choice of an occupation early and find out if they are fitted for it. SENIOR LITERARY SOCIETY Back Row: D.
