THE Ho1V1.ER, 1934 f'f1f1vTfvf'1f3'-OW 41 THE REED SCHOLARSHIP ll- S you probably know, this scholarship is awarded each year to the one who amasses the most iirst-class honours in Junior Matriculation. Last year it was won by Bev. Gaynor, and Marion Best is still wondering how he beat her. He got 11 firstsl Does that clear things up? He's quiet, and unlike most of his contem- porary students, he really has brains. His real name is Beverley, but don't let it throw you-and don't call him by it either. He was born eighteen years ago in Toronto. That probably explains his brains. Bev. is just another exaniple of the saying, Good gear comes in small bulk. He went to Bedford Park public school, and even at that tender age he astonished his parents by his high marks. He went, and still goes occasionally, to the Anglican Church, but the church really isn't responsible for his later development. He was a Boy Scout and is now a Rover Scout, but don't hold it against him, because in that capacity he spends many weeks before Christ- mas niaking toys for children and many weeks after Christmas playing with them. Bev. thinks French and Latin are useless subjects. He's right again. He has a habit of being right. He's a bad one to be sitting near when the inspectors are here. He's so darned clever, the teachers tire all the questions at him. lt's most unpleasant to have it come so close to home. He's one of the most skilful iiddlers in the school orchestra. For coniirmation of this you may ask either his mother or his dad. Much of his spare time is spent in the Camera Club dark room and some of his efforts have startled even Mr. Farmer. This probably ex- Fa: if if FIRS During the 1933 season, twenty-three boys received the Senior Certificate and members who attained the Voucher Certificate were: H. Love, E. Cockell, O. Carmichael, D. VVith- row, G. Craig, M. Forster, and H. Brett. The T rv is P 1 . 1 9 l, is Q., t. 3 , ,. K I , i Beverley Gaynor-Winner 1933 plains why his percentage has dropped to the eightiesg but it does not explain his never- ending disgust at this state of affairs. Bev. is one of the few who can come home with a blonde hair on his coat and get away with it. He was probably more pleased over the cash reward of the scholarship than the reputation he gained, which takes a lot of living up to. Despite all the nasty things and the implied insults that you've just read, Bevfs a swell kid and you'll like him. FLMER A. DOAN. x AID -A' -A' medallion award went to P. Abbott, D. Ander- son, P. Sellers and R. VViancko, while F. Laughlin was the only one to receive the label. Since the beginning of the club, over one hundred boys have been awarded the Senior Certificate or higher.

Page T'Zl'6'IIfy THE HOIVLER, 1934 ak THE KERR CUP -A' Moore Tafts-Kerr Cup Winner HE Kerr Cup, one of the most coveted trophies of the school, was won this year by Moore Tafts. There were eleven pupils nominated, but because of his Academic and Athletic standing, and his popu- larity around the school, Paddy, as he was familiarly known, was awarded the honour. Paddy started his high school career at North Toronto in 1928. For the next five years he maintained a high standing in his -+1 CRATORICAL CONTE Owing to the fact that the Howler staff have decided to publish the magazine earlier than usual, we are not able to announce the results of the debates. So far, however, the exponents of the art of Demosthenes have been delving into many deep subjects. Political, economic and social problems have been argued with equal skill and vigour. The third forms are now on their studies and also had time left for a prominent place in athletics. He passed in every exam. he wrote and left the school with fifteen first- class honour certificates to his credit. Some record! According to the teachers, if everyone were like Paddy, teaching would really be a pleasant task, because he had such a splendid spirit of co-operation in class and all school activities. Well, I am afraid teachers will not be enjoying themselves for a long time yet, because there are very few Paddys to lighten their burden. ln athletics, partly because of his deter- mined nature, he was a leader among his fellows. Although he took part in other games, his main interest was in rugby. He was a member of the Bantam and Senior teams and captain of the Junior team. Due to his bril- liant playing and ready alertness in his games, he was a regular rugby-fan idol. Last year, when Prefects were introduced to the school, Paddy was chosen as leader of the corps. There have been Kerr Cup winners before and will be again, but Paddy, perhaps more than any other, possesses the necessary quali- iications. He was well known and well liked by more students than anyone else, and justly deserves the honour bestowed on the Kerr Cup winner. He is in Commerce and Finance at Varsity this year Cplaying more rugbyj, and we just want to take this chance to let him know that North Toronto is pulling for him and hopes that he keeps up the good work. bl, STS AND DEBATES third round, while the fourth form champion- ship remains to be settled between Vera Turnbull and Ronald Jolly of 4D and Nellie Coe and Tom Rowe of -LF. 5E and 5G are likewise to battle it for the fifth form champ- ionship, at a date not yet decided upon. At the time of going to press, the Oratory Contests had not been held, but the results will be published in next year's Howler.
