THE FAME OF ANY SCHOOL is established and maintained by many phases of the schools program- me, each contributing its part. Thus at Tech, our grid- iron gladiators, our skillful Skiers, our Basketballers and Track and Field men have brought us championships. The excellence of our Band and Glee Club, both ofwhich have attained new heights of perfection this year,has ad- ded considerably to our renown. The Play, the Concert, the Exhibition, to mention only a few more of our major activitiesg all have had their part in creating the favourable reputation which Tech enjoys. But beside all these, there are numerous cases of individual effort which are equally if not more important in contributing to the honour of our school. Scholarships First among these. perhaps, are the Scholarship win- ners of the past year: Marcel Maheux, who, as the Tech student standing highest in his Marriculation papers, qualified for the 3500.00 Mercy Neal Southam Memorial Scholarship to Carleton College, also won a Dominion- Provincial Scholarship of S200.00. Bob Boldt, now at Queen's University, won a 5100.00 Dominion-Provin- cial Scholarship, while Cadet Clifford Quinn annexed a 5600.00 R.C.A.F. Benevolent Scholarship to R.M.C. To Dave Panabaker went the 5200.00 Rotary Scholarship, and to Bill Oliver and Gerry Glavin, the A. H. jarvis Bursaries. Gaston Despault, james Finter and Fred Tibbles, who are still with us, won Dominion-Provincial Student Aid Bursaries of 5100.00 each. Cups and Medals Special individual awards included thejohn McKinley Silver Medal to Gerald Gahagan for proficiency in the Grade XII Industrial Course and the R. A. Sproule Silver Medal to Leonard Walker for proficiency in Grade XI Industrial. Herbert Jackman carried off the coveted Ralph Yuill Cup for general proficiency in Grade X general academic. Collegiate Institute Board Special Silver Medals in recognition of outstanding scholastic attainment were won by William Skuce, Gerald Craw. ford, Leonard Walker, Lawrence Gray and Gaston Despault. Public Speaking . For his contribution to our fame, Tech Talk pays tribute to the winner of our Public Speaking Competition, Hugh Moreland. As the result of an immense amount of preparation which made his task seem very easy, Hugh emerged victor over the many good speakers within our school and thus became our standard bearer in the interscholastic competition sponsored by the Rotary Club of Ottawa. In the final competition held at the Chateau Laurier near the end of April, our represen- tative met the best speakers from eight sister schools and, in spite ofa 'flu' bug which nearly prevented his partic- ipation, carried off the 375.00 second prize. Hugh's win was a fitting climax to his hve years ofexcellent dramatic and oratorical effort at Tech. Diplomas Besides the many winners ofawards and special prizes in individual subjects of our Academic, Industrial and Art courses, twenty-four students received their Honour Graduation Diplomas, ninety-seven their Secondary School Graduation Diplomas in the Academic Course, seventy-six their Secondary School Graduation Diplomas in the Industrial Course, and one in the Art Course. Honour Crests Fourteen of our boys qualihed this year for the highest of our school awards, the Tech Honour Crest. To win this award, a student must hold seven activity bars with no more than three to count in any one activity. A student cannot win more than three bars in any one year. Bars are given for outstanding merit in such fields as Scholarship, Club Work, Athletics, Dramatics, Glee Club or Orchestra. Thus the award is highly prized among the students and the standards demanded for qualification are jealously guarded. The Crest is given by the Teachers' and Students' Council. The fourteen winners were Emile Brown, jack Donaldson, Frank Doyle, Denis Exeter, Wilmot Glenn,-john Hodder, Kenneth Hoffman, john McIntosh, Donald Landreville, Charles Parmelee, Marcel Pitre, Guy Pitre, and Oral Rooke. ,Nhillllf 0 S?
