PARIS HIGH SCHOOL YEAR BOOK 25 Mr. Cocks announced the various winners of the Legion Essay prizes and the speaker for the afternoon, Mr. Edgar Harold, was introduced by Mr. Butcher. Mr. Harold spoke on the unveiling of the Vimy Memorial which he attended this summer. He related many amusing and interesting anecdotes about France and its people. On November 13, the Honorary President of the Society, Dr. Jeffery gave us an address on health and education. He advised us to look after our health as an aid to our education, and to pay particular attention to the development of our personal characteristics. We are deeply indebted to these and others who have devoted their time and talents to our interests. lt is through the cooperation of such in- dividuals, and the excellent advice of Mr. Butcher that the Literary Society is able to function successfully. Betty Larin, Secretary. Annual At Hom e No 'At Home' would be quite perfect without a surname contest be- cause it gives everybody the opportunity to display their ingenuity. The brilliant winners were Joyce Priest and Hubert Wells. Programmes, designed by Bill Rutherford, were given to the girls, since it was leap year, and they promptly filled three blank spaces with three handsome boys. The first promenade in charge of Douglas Moss consisted of a treasure hunt for the letters which formed the word Cupid . Notices were written on a black board in each room. Gladys Bemrose and Bill Rutherford found the treasure. An advertising contest under the capable management of Bill McCrow came next. Magazine advertisements were placed on the walls in IA and IB and the contestants had to name the manufacturer of each. Hazel Lind- say and Wallie Creeden won the prize. The last promenade, Bingo, caused a great deal of laughter, and the prizes, chocolate bars and bags of candy, were given to the girls even though it was leap year. For the floor show we had two famous boxers, Alfred Gibbons and Lancelot Bennett. Although blindfolded, they excelled in connecting their punches when they found one another. Bill McCrow, the referee, announc- ed Bennett as winner. The girls matched their broken hearts, which they fortunately or un- fortunately drew, with other broken hearts, and then lunch was served. Ruth Hickson. Lloyd Richardson- See here, waiter, there's a piece of wood in my sausage! Waiter- Yes Sir, but I'm sure- Lloyd- Sure nothing! I don't mind eating the dog, but I'll be hanged if I'm going to eat the kennel too! Acta Collegiate, Chatham.

After a lengthy business session, the members of IA were initiated and were formally ushered into school life. The initiations consisted largely of jokes and humorous recitations. IB re- ceived their baptism into P.H.S. on October 19. On October 7th, we were privileged to have with us a former student who has brought honour not only to himself and to his family, but to his school. Sylvanus Apps was kind enough to address the Society on his re- cent trip to Germany as a member of the Canadian Olympic Team. He told us in a friendly and charming manner of his voyage across the ocean and vividly described the Olympic games, the Olympic village and present con- ditions existing in Germany. The annual Remembrance Day service was held on November 10. Rev.
