PARIS HIGH SCHOOL YEAR BOOK THE MONDAY 12.00 , 1 Eiiailium 1 0- 22 0 51.00 to 1928 Single Copy 10c. Ogrlidulilltess SATURDAY, APRIL 20th, 1953 one Alter Thirty Years of Fighting a Woman Enters the Canadian Senate Special by Kathleen Blackburn to Monday Evening Post-Women are in their heyday of Power and privilege. Grim determination on the part of the women of Canada has succeeded in breaking down the barriers of cus- tom and prejudice. Women through- out Canada, whether doctors, lawyers, merchants, chiefs, Conservatives or Liberals will delight in victory. What happiness they will enjoy! To Miss Hazel Laurie falls the unique honour of representing Cana- dian women in that assemblage of supposedly sage men. Paris may well be proud of the brilliant political career of this talented lady. Having the fitting background of ten years in the Ontario Government, Miss Laurie was the one to Crash the gate on Government Hill in spite of the con- tinued and persistent notices such as A woman is not a person and must be kept out. The B. N. A. Act, the Supreme Court decision-all have been overcome and a woman reigns supreme in the Senate chamber. To the life of Ottawa, Miss Laurie brings a lively enthusiasm and un- bounded energy. Her zest for social life and her delight in meeting the senators amaze the older hostesses of Ottawa. In spite of the pessimistic predic- tions that the world would decline when women took public offices and superseded the men in business and in every walk of life, the contrary seems to be coming true as the last 25 years show. Ed. note-iOld 5th of 1928 will join heartily with me, I am sure, and with this whole city in congratulating Miss Hazel Lauriej. VVar Again Between Two Eastern States Special-The Zulu warriors of Cen- tral Africa have dispatched a large fleet of submarines there at once. We understood that they intend to attack the large cocoanut plantations in order to force the inhabitants into subjection. The Zulus have a highly trained army which includes several battalions of trained monkeys to as- sist in the operations.-The editor wishes both sides the utmost success. Old Hat Worn by Napoleon Brings 315,000 at Auction. Paris, April 19, 1953-One of Na- poleon's hats, a well-worn specimen, has been sold at auction for 315,000 to Miss Inez Newell, when home on furlough. The only explanation that can be given by friends for Miss Newell having bought the hat, is that in her younger days she took Modern history while at P. H. S. She always liked history and wished a tangible reminder of those old days and those old associations tall grads. of '28 will understand her expendi- ture of so large a sum for so small an article.J

1953, E1-ic cecii, Two THE MONDAY EVENING POST, APRIL 20, 1953 POET'S CORNER MEMORIES tTo Col. Donald H. Crozier, F.R. D. C., M.T.S., Pres. of the Canadian Atlantic Flying Clubh. Do you remember-? When a Hhorseless machine And its chug-chugging engine Had only one lung? When the trouble was always in mak- ing it go. And you spoke at delays of an hour or so? Contributed by Gee Lee. DISCOVERY tCopyright throughout worldl Special despatch-A friend, in the person of Mr. Alpheus Lovett, janitor of Paris Collegiate Institute, found the following letter between the boards in one of those old-fashioned movable desks which reposed in 5th form, now the music room: Nov. 11, 1923, P. H. S. 330-4. To my sheik, lBruce Adamslz Since this is the eleventh day of the eleventh month on which day so many years ago such a momentous event took place. I am stealing this mo- ment from my mathematics to write a very important letter to you my sheik. This was the heavenly half hour when we sat side by side across the hall making those unheavenly gases. Ellen had to come and sit down be- side us and I tried to send her otf after some water. That was the day Miss Flanagan caught you steadying my hand on the school lamp. But now this half hour is the dullest in my whole life, so dull that I found no pleasure in the smells of chemistry and have lapsed into sorrow and have set this half hour aside as a memorial to you. Those rides home with my sheik! But surely I don't need to put my thoughts on paper. You can read between the lines, can't you dande- lion? Honestly tell me whether you asked Ellen to send you an autographed Year Book? She says you asked her before me, but then I know you wouldn't treat your little Inez like that. I hear Bet calling me so I must go. Your loving ex-chemistry and ex- history class-mate, Egypt. Inez Newell P.S.-In after years when this you see- I wonder what my name will be? Ed. Note-Poor Inez, disappointed in love has gone away from all that could remind her of it, She is now sewing for the United Church on Sun- rise Island, South Seas, having train- ed at Union Theological College and Ladies' Training School, Toronto. Once recently when she was here on a flying visit she asked me how Bruce was. When I told her he had mar- ried another girl, she laughed. I guess she was seeing through a joke.
