Ball. Mr. Home. Mr. Maston. outlines of a school take fomi, and are we proud? A real school, at last. The late Mr. ti. H. Reed had started the school with four pup- ils. Inside of a year, the late Mr. Nelson was engaged and by the beginning of the next year the third teacher was added to the stahf. By this time there were three regular forms and complete High School work, including Senior Matriculation work, was taught. It was a time of trial, hardship and struggle in many ways, but there were many compensa- tions. Pupils who obtained their Senior Matriculation under these conditions were certainly teacher's pets. It was confusing, annoying, but sometimes amusing to be com- pelled to stop while the teacher on the other side of the low partition declared fa+bl2I after your ble ne sais pas. Many were the tangles straightened out by the pat on the back and the words of encouragement of Mr. ' GROCERY STORE Eglinton and Yonge St. Reed. Chielly due to him we have our present school motto, Labor Omnia Yincitf' He talked it, he preached it, he lived it. When the school had become well estab- lished in the section, which is the front only, of our present school, the war gave us another chance to show that we had become a real school. There is no need to mention the boys whose names are written on our tablet. The girls then, as they have ever since in other spheres, also took up their duties in war work. So time has moved along quickly and to-day we have many men and women holding re- sponsible positions in our city and country who attended the school in the old Town Hall. Labor Unmia Yincitf' It still stands. Be ours to hold it high. XYe seem to be saying or acting, VVe can. 10355 was a banner year for N. T. C. I. and can it be otherwise?

ELEBRATIONS- here-there-every where! 1934 has plunged Toronto into Centennial activities. One hundred years a city, and every year has marked a step forward. It was 300 years ago this year that jacques C a r t i e r made history. One hundred and fifty years ago the United E in p i r e Loyalists landed in Canada. 1934 !-a year of events, and what do you think F North Toronto is not behind the times. It has a celebration all its own. This year it comes of age and Miss Scanlon is going to tell you all about the school in its early be- ginnings in the old Town Hall. The bell! True, it is only the old-fashioned handbell, but it means recess. just now, there is only one place to go at recess. No, not to the cafe- teria, but down the old rickety stairs, out doors, across the street and to the apple orchard. Here we stand and stare at stones, mortar, bricks and confusion in gen- eral. Before long, out of this mass, the TOWN HALL AT MONTGOMERY AVE. and YONGE ST. Where N.T.C.l. Classes were first held.
