We are proud of these patriots who are risking their all in the defense of Christian democ- racy. Many of our older students are waiting restlessly until they are old enough to join the R.C.A.F. All our students are wondering what part they will play in the new or- der that we all hope for when peace is restored. They may well feel that they will have to serve their country better than their elders have done if democracy is to survive on this continent. Too long, opposing political parties have put party gain ahead of national unity, sectional and provincial interests before the welfare of the country as a whole. Too often, it has been difficult to get successful business and pro- fessional men to accept public office. Then the teachers of this time have the difficult task of teaching genu- ine patriotism. It is easy to teach a knowledge of civics, but it requires ex- ceptional skill and force of character to instil in the minds of observant and critical youth the desire to put the welfare of their country before personal gain. The teacher who can inspire a few brilliant young people with a burn- ing zeal for public service will be honoured in war and in peace. But he is worthy of greater honour who can inculcate in all his students such a high sense of loyalty that they will not attempt to evade their financial obligations to their country nor neglect their civic duties. The new methods of Warfare demand greater physical and intellectuaul development than those of the past. Many young men who wished to enlist in the Air Force were surprised to learn that they must have advanced edu- cation to qualify for the more responsible positions. Therefore, the older boys at high school must decide whether they should enlist when they are of military age or complete their course in Honour Mathematics first so they will be better qualified to give efficient service to their country. In the dark and difficult days that lie ahead, Christian Democracy will be safe in Canada if the old can regain the idealism of youth and all work together for National and Empire Unity. C.

To think clearly and then translate these thoughts into action is the need of the present day. That the pupils are receiving this foundation is clearly indicated by the manner in which the yearly school publication is handled. The Board of Education congratulates the publishing committee in this splendid effort. To those who have finished their formal education and who are now about to enter into a larger phase of life, to those planning further adventures in education we express the hope that the foundation built during your years in the Paris schools will lead to useful and successful lives.

The first few years of his life were spent on his fathers' farm in the beautiful surroundings of Paris. And then school days came! 1 Lloyd's preliminary education was obtained at Wrig1ey's Corners. Here the shy little red-head became the favourite of the teachers, and great was their sorrow when he graduated in 1936, at the age of 13. In September of that year he brightened the halls of P.H.S. During the years he spent here, he won many friends, and proved himself a very good scholar. He was always active in school activities, and served as form represen- tative for the athletic association in 1937. Lloyd is now living at home. We all wish him every success. J. B.

I entered the tent where the crys- tal was kept, and here is what I beheld. I saw Stanley Cruickshank receiving the position of Chairman of the Paris Town Council Welcoming Committee, a new and popular Society whose duty it is to greet all visitors arriving in Paris. A large crowd watching a ploughing match brings to my view George Smith and Lloyd Hamilton, two of the wealthiest farmers in Brant County, and known throughout the county as the bitterest enemies during a plough- ing match. Bill McKibbin is seated at the desk in his office with feet on top of the desk, gazing with pride at the new sign which has just been stretched across the main street. The sign reads: Wm McKibbin, Auto Accessories, all parts to all cars from 1914 to 1960. Another sign announces the rage of the year, the new hair dress intro- duced by Mary McKeen Pinkett, and done exclusively in her new Beauty Salon. And now I see a great military parade with Paul Anderson in the car leading the parade, Paul having risen to the position of Commander-in-Chief of the entire Canadian Army. Paul owes much of his success to a new super gun used exclusively by the Canadian Army and invented by Bentley Robson who has become Minister of Defence in the Canadian Government. I next see Gordon Campbell entering a Trans-Atlantic Clipper plane which he has been piloting for several years. Now there appears David Moss giving a hearty welcome to Lloyd Humphreys who has come to Paris for a few days. Lloyd has had a brilliant career on the baseball diamond and is now manager of a baseball team. Da- vid Moss is one of the leading citizens of Paris, being Scoutmaster of one of the finest divisions of Boy Scouts in Canada. James O'Neail, now Mayor of Paris, makes the presentation. Donna Cowan, after years of faithful service in the Red Cross, has re- turned to Paris to become matron of the Hospital. I see Kathryn Edgar doing the daily duties of a country housewife. There next appears Jack Muir, known as the successor of Walt Disney, and acclaimed throughout the world for his excellent comic strips. Agnes Maus is still teaching school in the little white school house near Ayr. The scene slowly faded, I gave the crystal back to the gypsy, and left the tent with a feeling of pride welling up within me because of the promis- ed success of this class. Lawrence E. Watts. PARIS HIGH SCHOOL YEAR BOOK 13 VALEDICTORY Mr. Butcher, Teachers, Fellow Graduates and Friends: It would be difficult for the Graduating Class of 1940 to express our in- nermost thoughts and feelings to-night if we did not now experience very strongly the truth of the old familiar saying, absence makes the heart grow fonderf' Nearly tive months have passed since we left Paris High School, and to us it seems a very long time. Only those who have had the opportunity and privilege of attending this school and have graduated from it can appreciate the thrill and pleasure we feel at being back. With graduation confronting us, we realize how near and dear this school and all its associations have grown: treading the old familiar halls, seeing the bright faces of former associates, meeting our teachers again and exchanging a cheery word with our good friend Mr. Tate,-all these bring back many pleasant and enjoy- able memories. To-night is our Commencement, and we Graduates are gathered here to say farewell to each other, to our teachers and to our fellow students. This is the goal at which we aimed so many years ago. During these years at school we have enjoyed our High School studies. Through daily contact, either in work or in play, there has grown up among us as classmates a strong feeling of friendship and as time passes this will become more endur- ing. Day by day we learned to overcome our difficulties and learned to meet disappointments and successes alike, until finally the months and years slipped by and gradually we climbed the ladder. To-night we have reached that goal. Our High School Education was comprised not only of hard studies. The pleasures of our Literary Society and our Choir, along with the social and sports activities of this school have combined to make our stay a very plea- sant and memorable one. Even though we graduate from High School to- night we are impressed with the truth that High School graduation does not close the door on a finished education but merely opens the door to a broader education in this great world. As the Graduating Class of 1940, we wish to express our appreciation to our parents for giving us the privilege of a High School Education. To the Board of Education, who unselfishly devote their time in the interest of this school, and to the citizens of Paris who provide for its maintenance we wish to express our gratitude. To Mr. Butcher, our Principal, and to the assist- 14 PARIS HIGH SCHOOL YEAR BOOK ant teachers we wish to express our sincere appreciation and thanks for their kindness and consideration to us all on every occasion. Their kindly inter- est soon made us feel at home here, and we felt we could go to them at all times with our difficulties. In the future we shall gratefully remember their efficient instruction and the fine spirit of cooperation such as exists between teacher and pupil in this school. But to-night we must part, and to my fellow-graduates I should like to say a last word. Paris High School will occupy a lasting place in our hearts. Here friendships were formed which have meant so much to us and our as- sociations at this school will never be forgotten. But to-night we leave Paris High School-each of us to pursue his own course. We realize now that school days are carefree days, and it is with very deep regret mingled with anticipation for the future that we say good-bye to them to-night. To the younger students we pass on the grand old traditions of this school and wish them every success in any undertaking whether as civilians on farm, in foundry or factory they provide the sinews of war or whether they serve country and Empire on land, or sea, or in the air. In saying good-bye we extend our best wishes for the continued success of this school in the future. In other and happier days graduates looked forward to the future with fond anticipation and glowing hopes. With us it is vastly different. We are liv- ing in strenuous times. The horrors of war haunt us daily. We know not what the future may bring forth. As the British Prime Minister said, long dark months of trial lie before us with constancy and valour our only shield. May we all be imbued with the same heroic and magnificent courage as he displays. Never in the world's long history have graduates stood on the threshold of life looking out upon a world so grim and threatening. The fear that our freedom, that our country is in danger of invasion, is of more mo- ment than the mere choice of a profession or gaining a livelihood. Let us face the future unflinchingly with heads high and chins up, doing faith- fully our daily tasks whether duty or danger calls us togfollow the arts of peace or the arts of war. The poet has said: We must be free or die who speak the tongue of England. Many students from this schoolalready have shown that they have the same high ideals. I'm sure the Graduates would like special attention drawn to them to-night. Our hearts are thrilled with patriotic pride when we hear or read the names of former fellow students who have joined the Royal Canadian Air Force, or the Royal Canadian Navy, or who have enlisted in the Cana- dian Divisions that now have the honour of protecting the island fortress of Britain, or who serve in the Royal Navy or Royal Air Force overseas, or who serve in the Red Cross to minister to the needs ofthe stricken civilians of the Old Land. As Graduates, we pay our grateful and loyal tribute to them. May their sacrifices and service for the democratic ideals of Liberty and Freedom, which we prize so highly, not be in vain, and may we all show the same courage and determination as they have shown so that we may con- tinue to live as free citizens, when this war is over, in this free land of Can- ada, which we all love so well.

The service opened with singing of O Canada. After the reading of the scripture and a prayer by Mr. Butcher, everybody sang O God Our Help in Ages Past. Then the winners of the Legion Essay Contest were an- nounced as follows: Grade IX, Beth Holderg Grade X, Eva Scottg Grade Xl, Doris Edgingtong Grade XII, Edith Ritchell Colonel Monteith, who had kindly consented to speak to us, gave a stir- ring and informative address. He said that the boys should prepare them- selves in some technical way to be of some assistance in the present war, and that girls might be needed for nurses and ambulance drivers. He com- pared the conditions of ships crossing the Atlantic in 1914-1918 and 1940, and the ideals of the Totalitarian State and the Democracy. Colonel Mon- teith closed with As long as we have our bond of loyalty and do our part, there will always be an England? Then every head was bowed in silent tribute to those who died that peace, truth, happiness and freedom might reign on earth, and to those who are now fighting to maintain these priceless rights. The service closed with God Save the King. Edith Ritchel. Per Signa Paratus p Per Signa Paratus or By signs we speak, has been the motto of the Visual Signal Branch of the Royal Navy since the Great War. There is a certain pride found in this branch that is evident in no other branch of the serviceg for a signalman's watch is stood on the bridge from where all the ship's movements can be observed and he has a knowledge of all orders and information coming aboard the vessel. Signal ratings are looked upon as in- dividuals by the officers, not just as part of the ship's company, as are gun- ners, stokers or torpedoemen. Many are the signals immortalized throughout the navy. Perhaps the best known is Nelson's last signal after clearing decks and 'closing up for action stations at Trafalgar. It is commonly repeated as England expects every man to do his duty. It was a very simple flag hoist correctly inter- preted as England expects that this day every man will do his duty. Ano- ther of Nelson's signals has been adopted by the gunnery branch for their motto- Strike first, strike hard and keep on striking. The origin of signals has followed the old principle of necessity being the mother of invention. The first signals were displayed for identification of ships, owners and captains only. This was accomplished by huge designs on the sails and streamers fiying from the peak of the masts. Later messen- gers carrying messages from ship to ship in port were termed signalmen and 16 PARIS HIGH SCHOOL YEAR BOOK their messages, signals. The necessity for sending word from ship to ship at sea became moie evident. In this matter the British took the initiative and the merchants in ports such as Chatham, Plymouth or Devonport devised private signals to be used by their own vessels at sea. The mcst popular of these was Captain Marry- ot's. It was developed and used by his own ships sailing out of England in 1812 and gradually adopted by ships of several seafaring nations and might be termed the first International Code of Signals. It was developed on the principle of hoisting flags in a serie-s of from one to four flags on ropes term- ed signal haliardsf' These haliards were hoisted to the yard-arms, making them visible to ships in company. Captain Marryot's code consisted of flags representing numbers from naught to nine and eight special flags such as negative, ahead or astern flags. In different arrangements these flags took different meanings as listed in the code book carried by the ships using this system. This made nine thousand signals available and was used by both naval and merchant shipping. In 1855 the British again took the lead when the British Board of Trade set up a committee giving it the task of inquiring into and reporting on the possibilities of a British Code of Signals for ships at sea. A code was soon drafted containing seventy thousand signals. This was made possible by using only eighteen flags. It was through such initiative and far-sightedness that Britain became mistress of the seas. This code was republished in 1857 in two editions. One was translated for universal and international use, while the second part was reserved for British government and naval use. This was used solely by the navy for thirty years, but then government mail and merchant ships were allowed to use it. The edition used internationally was brought up to date from time to time by the board of trade as the necessity arose. As a result of small changes and additions in the number of flags used a new edition was brought out in 1897. It was translated and distributed to merchant marine all over the world. It contained twenty-six Hags and several pendants. During this period a new code was developed for the Royal Navy, but in 1914-18 so many nations were involved in patrol, minesweeping, convoy and examination work that it was the international code that Was put to the test. It wasn't altogether successful due to the signalmen not being properly trained before being sent to sea. After the war Britain promptly revised the International code and in 1928 translated it into French, German, Spanish, Japanese and Norwegian. As in the last war our naval signalmen have again taken up their duties putting the International Code and their training to the test. In this training he must know the single meaning of forty-seven international flags and eighty-six naval flags and pendants. This training period to qualify as a signalman takes about nine months. In action the life of a signalman ave- rages about twenty-two minutes. Still the greatest signal of all will be flag sixg cease fire! John J. Coates. PARIS HIGH SCHOOL YEAR BOOK 17 Legion Essay Contests As in former years, the Paris Branch of the Canadian Legion has shown a kind interest in P.H.S. by donating prizes for the best patriotic essay in each grade. The subjects were: First Year, Our War Guests, Second Year, The Royal Canadian Air Force or The Royal Canadian Navy, Third Year, K'Britain Under Siegef' Fourth Year, Why Canada is at War. The winners were Beth Holder, Eva Scott, Doris Edgington and Edith Ritchel respectively. These essays were written during school hours, three or four of the best being picked from each class for final judgment. In the second year, an es- say on The Royal Canadian Air Force was chosen, but the best on The Royal Canadian Navy has been chosen and also printed. Betty Stanton. Why Canada ls At War Why is Canada at war ? This may be asked in all sincerity for no na- tion goes to war without a reason. Canada, Britain's greatest overseas Do- minion, saw the Motherland threatened by hordes of totalitarian barbarians. She saw the fine democratic institutions of free countries in danger of being ground under the heel. of Nazi domination. She heard the cries of murdered Poles, those liberty-loving, heroic people, calling for aid against a Iiendish, cold-blooded, murderous foe. Canada, a land of liberty, equality and justice is at war to help restore these rights to other nations and maintain them for herself. For years we have witnessed the wickedness, cruelty and deceit of the Nazi regime in Germany. Helpless, innocent people were hurled into concen- tration camps to be cruelly tortured. Austria and Czeco-Slovakia, through the deceit of lying German officials, unwillingly succumbed to the domina- tion of the Nazi dictatorship. Treated cruelly, harshly and unmercifully, these people recoiled from the evil principles of their Nazi oppressors. Can- nada is at war to help rid these countries of the oppression, wickedness, and vice performed by their German masters. For centuries British peoples have enjoyed the right to work out their own destiny on the lines of free speech, freedom of the press, religious tolera- tion, and justice. We Canadians owe our free democratic institutions to Britain. In Nazi controlled countries it is not men's bodies but their minds which are enslaved. In Canada men are free both in mind and body to plan their lives to the best of their capabilities on an equal basis with their fellow men. To maintain these priceless liberties we took our place at Britain's side. According to Nazi doctrines the rights of the individual are suppressed to the demands of the state for its so called glory. Workers are forbidden by law to organize for the purpose of bettering working conditions. The thoughts and aspirations of the individual are controlled by the policies of a 18 PARIS HIGH SCHOOL YEAR BOOK few unscrupulous leaders. To prevent our minds, thoughts, and personal liberties from being enslaved we are at war. Dishonour and deceit have supplanted honour and truth in the German government. Racial hatred is taught to the people as if it were a virtue in- stead of the unjust theory that it is. Canada is at war to prevent the spread of these false principles, and to assist other nations to restore truth and in- tegrity. For if the totalitarian states were allowed to continue, civilization as we know it would be wiped from the face of the earth. Edith Ritchel. Britain Under Siege The whole world, after twenty-one years of peace, has again been plunged into a war, more devastating than the last, by the mad desire of a dictator to conquer the continent of Europe and ultimately the whole world. Herr Hitler, an Austrian paper hanger who has risen to the position of dic- tator of Germany, began, in the fall cf nineteen hundred and thirty-nine, to conquer by force of arms, the weaker nations of Europe. Austria and Czecho-Slovakia had already been taken, more by terrorism and fifth columnism than by actual fighting, but when Hitler tried to take Poland he found that these means were not enough. On September the first, nineteen hundred and thirty-nine, the German battleship, Schleswig-Hol- stein, began an intensive shelling of Polish territory and, after eighteen days of fierce fighting, Poland surrendered. Britain, in the meantime, unable to see the weaker nations overrun by a mad, power-seeking dictator, declared war on Germany on September the third. For the iirst few months of the war, there was no battle front where the British could attack the Nazis. In April however, the Hun soldiers in- vaded Norway. She put up a ,strong iight with the help of Britain but the fifth column agents were too powerful. Norway fell beneath the sway of German rule. In May, Holland, Belgium and Luxembourg fell by fifth col- umn action and force of arms in the nature of parachute troops and aero- planes. The 'fall of Belgium provided an easy route into France which was not prepared for an attack from behind. They were assisted by Britain but France was too full of spies and Nazi sympathizers to keep the enemy back. Orders were given which were never carried out. Consequently Paris fell and with it, the French nation. Herr Hitler then turned his attentions to- ward the island of Great Britain. Around the first of August, Hitler began his bombing of Britain, promis- ing the world that he would be in London by August the fifteenth. August the fifteenth came, and he was far from London. His planes were making no impression on England and he had not yet attempted to invade Britain. Frcm this time on, however, the air raids increased in intensity. While the British planes and anti-aircraft fire have kept them from damaging military PARIS HIGH SCHOOL YEAR BOOK 19 objectives, they have dropped their bombs indiscriminately causing great loss of life and property. The German method is to come over in groups, the bombers being accompanied by fighters whose job it is to keep off the British planes while the bombers go about causing destruction. The bomb- ers, however, still have to Worry about the anti-aircraft guns. Germany, in her previous battles, has lost most of her good pilots. The pilots of many of the German planes to-day are mere boys who become easily confused. However, the British are not allowing the Germans to destroy property without offering resistance. Each night, extensive raids are made on Ger- many and German-held territory. The Germans, fearing the truth, are not allowing the truth of these raids to be published. At home, Britain is erect- ing balloon barrages to protect her cities and air raid shelters to protect her people. These shelters, which are cellars, subways and specially con- structed vaults, protect the people from Hying shrapnel. During the nights many long, weary hours are spent in these shelters. The women knit while the children sleep. There are many workers who do not go into these shelters. These are fire-fighters and rescue workers who remain outside to save property from the ravages of fire and people from trapped buildings. Another group of men who deserve recognition is the suicide squad whose job it is to pull the stingers of delayed action bombs and explode them in the country. Another important phase of the siege of Britain is the maintaining of trade with her colonies. Germany has tried, since the first of the war, to shut off these trade routes with submarines, magnetic mines, and long range guns along the Strait of Dover. These methods have been overcome one by one, but it is believed that the Germans are again turning to submarines. Considerable attention has been drawn lately to the fact that the Axis powers have attempted to cut off Britain's supplies from the east by an at- tack upon the Suez Canal and Gibraltar. The Royal Navy, however, is holding the raiders in check on the sea. Since the actual raids on Britain began, there have been no battles on the land. Germany has massed troops and barges along the French coast in preparation for'an invasion, but as yet a successful one has not been accom- plished. Each Briton has risen admirably to the situation. A great number of the young men are in active service. The girls and women of the nation have stepped in to take their place. Many office girls and school girls have gone to work on farms to support the three million soldiers in the country. The siege of Britain may only be in its initial stages and just where and when the next attack may come is uncertain but up to the present all at- tempts to conquer Britain, while inflicting loss of life and property, have failed. This is due, in no small way, to the spirit that prevails throughout the Empire, born of the knowledge that their cause is right and that every- thing in life worth while is at stake. With every new thrust at the heart of the Empire that spirit has found expression in stiffened opposition. The British people are keeping a Hrm upper lip, confident that in the end, right must conquer. Doris Edgington. 20 PARIS HIGH SCHOOL YEAR BOOK The Royal Canadian Air Force The Royal Canadian Air Force is the air-arm of Canada's great part in the present conflict. Canada's brave airmen have been fighting with the British airmen since the beginning of the war but they have now been form- ed into Canadian squadrons-hence the Royal Canadian Air Force. As soon as the Motherland suggested that Canada, Australia, and New Zealand train the necessary pilots, navigators and crews to beat the Germans, Canada at once put her vast territorial area, her natural and financial resources at the Motherland's disposal. This was the beginning of the Empire Training Scheme. - Canada is putting her shoulder to the wheel for aerial warfare more than any other Dominion. The R.C.A.F. now numbers twenty-tive thousand. Our men are doing patrol and convoy work at home as well as actual war- fare abroad. As well as the navy the Air Force keeps a ceaseless watch over Canada's Atlantic coast. If the occasion arises the 'planes circle low to sig- nal surface patrol boats. The Empire Training Plan is costing Canada two hundred and sixty million dollars for this year alone. There are one hundred odd schools for Air Force recruits scattered through Canada with the nerve centre at Tren- ton. Its job is to train instructors for Britain. Trenton Air Station consists of four separate schools-School of Administration, Central Flying School, Air Navigation School and Air Armament School. Each day starts impres- sively with parade. The whole station parades on Thursdays and each unit in turn on other days. The finishing school at Mossbank, Saskatchewan, is being feverishly rushed to conclusion. Work previously planned to take two years is being compressed into three months. If selected as a pilot, the young recruit first goes to the Elementary Fly- ing Training School for eight weeks. From here he goes to a Service Flying Training School for sixteen weeks. Another eight weeks are spent in an in- termediate training squadron, six weeks in an advanced training squadron, and two weeks in a Bombing and Gunnery School. The complete training of a pilot takes twenty-eight weeks. The R.C.A.F. is composed of the Permanent Active Air Force, the Non- Permanent Active Air Force, and a Reserve of Officers. What did Canada do in the last war? The Canadians fought under the Royal Air Force. They had their own particular squadron and Canada was noted for possessing more air aces than any other country. One of the chief of these was Colonel Billy Bishop, now Air Marshall of the R.C.A.F., who shot down seventy-two enemy planes, and cn whose chest are the ribbons of the V.C., D.S.O. and bar, D.F.C., and PARIS HIGH SCHOOL YEAR BOOK 21 the Croix de Guerre. Roy Brown, of Brantford, brought down Germany's air ace in a dog-fight in France. These are only two of the renowned avia- tors of 1914-18. After the Great War was over, Canada saw the need of an Air Force of her own. The Air Board Act of nineteen hundred and nineteen was passed and the R.C.A.F. came into being. Although started on a small scale, Canada's Air Force is being slowly but surely built up. The total strength of the R.C.A.F. on December the thirty-first, nineteen hundred and thirty- two, was ninety-eight officers and five hundred and ninety-two airmen. Now let us look to the future of our Air Force. Great prospects are held for the young aviators of to-morrow. Aeroplanes will be used much more commercially than ever before in the history of Canada. It is probable that transport planes will be making weekly or even daily flights to the United Kingdom. Until now the Navy has been the most important factor in the fighting forces. Now the R.C.A.F. is doing its best to wrest the proud title, The Silent Service, from its naval comrades. The first time the Canadian fighter squadron went into action they were successful in bringing down two Dornier bombers, since then, with pride and joy, we have read of their continued success and know that these are only the forerunners of an extremely large number of enemy machines that will never return to their bases. As in the last war Canadian airmen are the masters of any problem the enemy may set them. We are again producing airmen better trained, in fact superior in every way to anything that the Nazis can send against us. When the Prime Minister of Great Britain said in the House of Commons, Never in the field of human conflict was so rnuch owed by so many to so few, he not only paid a tribute and a nation's thanks to a service of heroes, but set a standard to which future airmen will aspire. We know that even this standard will be beaten, as these men fully understand that, as the rep- resentatives of the democracies, they stand for all the aims and ambitions of their forefathers who in many cases fought and died to create this Empire which is ours. The man whose good fortune it has been to be selected as a member of any of the Empire's Air Forces, realizes it is a great honour. Into his hands, at the moment, has been placed a large portion of the defence of our freedom and we all know that, as the days go by, he will rise to full manhood with his laurels won and our Empire still free. The Canadian airman is, without doubt, superior to any and only one result is possible:- It is Victory. Victory at all costs. Victory in spite of all terrors. Vic- tory, however long and hard the road may be. For without Victory, there is no survival. Eva Scott. 22 PARIS HIGH SCHOOL YEAR BOOK Our War Guests When on June 19, 1940, the British Government announced their inten- tion of sending 10,000 refugee children to Canada as soon as transportation was possible, Canada was ready. Many people in the Dominion of Canada who have relatives in Great Britain are taking their relatives' children for the duration of the war. Children without relatives here are being taken in groups to large houses and others privately to small homes. Some of the older boys and girls are being placed in boarding schools. In each province the Child's Welfare Or- ganization is looking after the distribution of the children to the homes. This transportation of refugees has brought the high and low classes of England closer together. Nobility and common people have the same pri- vileges. An example of this is that the two Princesses, Elizabeth and Mar- garet Rose, are staying in England sharing the same dangers as the thou- sands of other children unable to come to safety. The purpose of transporting the children is to remove them from the horrors and ravages of war so that they may be fitted and educated to carry on the work of the next generation wisely and peaceably. A great responsi- bility will rest on their shoulders to rebuild the country after this awful war is over. The British children are in every way desirable guests. They are highly intelligent and have had physical examinations before leaving England and on entering Canada. They are courageous and cheerful and do not seem to mind being taken from their homes and set in different surroundings be- cause they know it is for the good of their country and themselves. Never- theless they deserve our sympathy because of the strain imposed upon them, knowing that their parents are in danger. During the journey across the Atlantic and especially aboard the two ships torpedoed, the children showed cheerfulness, courage and obedience. On the second ship torpedoed sixty-three children lost their lives. The peo- ple of Canada extend their sincerest sympathy to the parents of these young children. When the children finally arrive in Canada they are distributed to homes and boarding schools. Among our more distinguished guests who we are especially proud to welcome are Crown Princess Juliana of Holland with her daughters Beatrice and Irene, and the daughter of the Earl and Countess of Athlone with her children. The hospitality of the Canadian people is wonderfully represented in their whole-hearted welcome of the British children. When the project was Hrst announced people poured to meetings and stated their decisions to take children even although they had some of their own or could not rightly af- PARIS HIGH SCHOOL YEAR BOOK 23 ford it. Canadian women everywhere are busy making clothes for refugee children. Now that the British Government has decided that it is sending no more children because of the danger of German torpedoes or U-boats this hospi- tality will remain for those that are here. If later more do come it will be extended to them also. The sending of British war guests is a great linking of the Mother Country with Canada. The English children will learn to know Canadians and Canadian ways better so that a great bond of understanding and friend- ship will be built up between the people of the two countries. We should be proud to shelter the children of our Mother Country, to think that we are doing this small service while they are enduring the bombing raids and other terrors of war. It is the least we can do to show our appreciation of their fine bravery in defending our Empire and making the world a safe place for us all. Many people believe that the torpedoeing of the innocent refugee child- ren will be the turning point of the war and that the forces of the world will rise to put the cruel tyrant, Hitler, from power. There'll always be an England, and England shall be free. Beth Holder. ,i .l.l. The Royal Canadian Navy England expects that every man this day should do his duty. Lord Nelson. By the passing of the Naval Service Act in 1910, the Royal Canadian Navy came into being. The training scheme is identical with that of the Royal Navy, as are the qualifications for promotion. The R.C.N. and its Re- serve Forces are under the direction of the Chief of Naval Staff who is a member of the defense council. The Service consists of the Royal Canadian Navy Cpermanentlg The Royal Canadian Naval Reserve fnon-permanentlg The Royal Canadian Na- val Volunteer Reserve tnon-permanentl, and the Royal Canadian Fleet Re- serve tnon-permanentj. The ships of the R.C.N. are manned by men from all parts of Canada. Because of the possession of only one small but' excellent Navy College, se- lected officers and men are sent to England to attend special courses in the training schools of the Royal Navy. A proportion of the men are lent to H. M. Ships for training at sea. Joint exercises with ships of the Royal Navy while in Canadian waters are carried out at every opportunity by H.M.C. Ships. The Royal Canadian Naval Reserve and The Royal Canadian Navy Vol- unteer Reserve are organized along the same lines. The R.C.N.R. must train for forty-two days during the first year of enrolment and fourteen days an- nually in the period of enrolment of six years. The R.C.N.V.R. was organiz- 24 PARIS HIGH SCHOOL YEAR BOOK ed in 1923. The enrolment period is three years during which the men are requirednto attend a minimum of thirty drills at Division Headquarters for instruction and two weeks of training. The Royal' Canadan Fleet Reserve is a Fishermen's Reserve established in 1938. At the outbreak of war in 1914, the Canadian Government possessed only two small cruisers, The Niobe and The Rainbow. The latter, which was ready for sea, patrolled the western coast as far south as Panama and captured several ships carrying contraband of war. Various small craft were taken over by the Naval Department. Two submarines and a mother ship patrolled the approaches on the west coast. A patrol and mine-sweeping service was carried on after the outbreak of war. At first the vessels were Government and privately owned ships. Early in 1917 the Department of Naval Service undertook to have built sixty trawlers and one hundred drif- ters in Canada for the Imperial Government. All had seen service by 1918. The area patrolled by the R.C.N. stretched from the St. of Belle Isle to the Bay of Fundy and from Quebec to the Virgin Rocks. In this area, the navy had control of the convoys, mine-sweeping patrols and fishing fleets. At the date of Armistice, only one large ship had been lost during all enemy attacks. The Royal Canadian Naval Air Service was established in the summer of 1918 with stations at Halifax and North Sidney. It co-operated with the United States Naval Aviation Corps in patrolling the coast and escorting convoys through the danger zones. The Canadian Naval Radiotelegraph Service controls about two hun- dred stations ashore and afloat. The Naval Department opened a training school for wireless operators from which men have been sent to various sta- tions throughout Canada. Canadian dockyards refitted, repaired and supplied the Navy. They also refitted transports for troops and special cargo and re-armed merchant ships. The Halifax dockyards were seriously damaged in 1917 but were re- paired immediately by the Naval Department. In the present war, the Royal Canadian Navy, is now, more than ever, on the job. It played an active part in the evacuation of Dunkirk during which the H.M.C.S. Fraser was sunk in a collision. The Prince Robert, an armed merchant cruiser, recently captured the enemy ship Weser just outside Mexican territorial waters. This same ship, The Prince Robert, carried our King and Queen from Vancouver to Victoria Island during their visit to Canada. The Navy plays a prominent part in this war, as in the last, in convoying, mine-sweeping, and patrolling the coasts of Canada. We, of Canada, are proud of our young Navy and of the democratic ideals for which it stands. We have high hopes and great faith that through its untiring efforts, combined with those of the Royal Navy, the fighting forces, the air forces, and the courageous people of the Empire, we shall emerge victorious.

The Field Day Dance, afternoon dances, the At Home, and the Annual Open Meeting, are directly under its auspices. The Society also sponsors the Quill and the Year Book. The Literary Executive is elected by the student body. Every January and September a new excutive is elected to preside over the meetings of the respective terms. Regular meetings are held fortnightly, but special meetings may be called when necessary. The first meetings of the Fall Term consist of the Initiation of all the newcomers to the school. Members of the teaching staH are included. For additional meetings each form in turn provides a program. Form rivalry for the best performance results in fine demonstra- tions of musical talent and acting ability. This entertainment breaks the monotony of school routine. Edgar Hamilton. Qpen Meeting of Literary Society On May 23, 1940, an Open Meeting of the Literary Society was held in the school gymnasium. After the singing of O Canada, Agnes Maus, Sec- retary, gave a summary of the Society's spring term activities, after which the President, Edgar Hamilton, gave an address of welcome. Then Mr. Butcher presented the cups for intra-mural competitions to the winning teams and Lawrence Watt gave his Prophecy, After Marilyn App1eby's violin solo and Mr. Butcher's explanation of the following Public Speaking Contest, Dulcie Ventham spoke. Ormonde Harold then gave an accordion solo. The second contestant, Jim O'Neail, then spoke. Under the leadership of Mr. Barrett, the High School Choir gave two se- lections, assisted by soloist Arthur Racey. After James O'Neail's violin solo and a choir selection with Betty Stanton as soloist, the judges gave their de- cision of the Public Speaking Contest. ' Dulcie Ventham was awarded the Legion Trophy. Mrs. W. Billings, on behalf of the Prince of Wales Chapter of the I.O.D. E. presented the school with a Union Jack . The meeting closed with the singing of the National Anthem. Betty Stanton. PARIS HIGH SCHOOL YEAR BOOK 29 Junior Night Friday night, March 1, 1940, brought a large crowd of parents and friends to P.H.S. for the annual Junior Night program. The evening got off to a fine start with the singing of O Canada, first by everyone, and then in French by the Junior pupils. Following this, the Grade IX pupils sang sev- eral songs under the leadership of Mr. Edward R. Barrett, music instructor and choir leader in the school. The girls sang Spring Heaven and My Love's an Arbutus, followed by the boys singing several popular sea chan- ties. The solo parts in these were taken by William Moriarity and a trio of boys. Herbert Inksater, Tom Mitchell and Ian Robinson took part in one of the numbers. The girls of Grade X performed a very pretty Ribbon Dance, carrying ribbbons of many colours to match their costumes. Several members of Grade IXB presented a skit, Queer Street from a book of short plays which they were studying in class. After the play, Marily Apple- by played a violin solo, accompanied by Elizabeth McCowan. Another branch of the Lower School work was then demonstrated by Grades IXA and IXB as they sang two French songs, Alouette and Au Claire de la Lune. Patricia Reeves, of Senior Comercial, gave a talk on Sir Isaac Pitman and the Development of Shorthand. This was demonstrated by Betty Cree- don, also of Senior Commercial. Following this, Doris Gillies, Patricia Reeves and Jack Breffitt gave a demonstration of musincal typewriting. To demonstrate the athletic part of their education, the boys of Grade X gave an exhibition of pyramid building followed by the Grade IX boys in an exhibition of tumbling. The girls of Grade IX showed their prowess in their activities by a demonstration of gymnastics and a dance, to the music of the piano. The choir, under the leadership of Mr. Barrett, sang two numbers, Bonnie Dundeef' and Our Canada from Sea to Sea, accompanied by Eileen Lee. With the singing of the National Anthem, the program closed and the Grade IXA, IXB and X form rooms were opened to allow those interested to see exhibits of art, maps and penmanship. Elizabeth McCowan. 30 PARIS HIGH SCHOOL YEAR BOOK A Letter from France Lyon, September 17. Dear Ruth, Oh! How happy I am! I have just received your letter. It gave me the only great joy I have had since the armistice. A week ago I had sent to you a short letter by the post of the air. I am quite sure that if I had received your letter of May in due time, I should never have spoken to you as I have done some time ago. It is so kind to have invited us to go to Canada if necessary! You and your parents are generous and I am very alive to this offer, and so are my parents. But Lyon itself was never bombed, you know Conly its drome wasl and, although the warnings became very frequent towards the end, it was never necessary to leave Lyon. You cannot fancy how happy I am when I think that we have at last resumed our relations, that we shall not stop writing to each other, that you are not angry with me. I thank you very much for having sent my letter to my cousin. If it could overtake him, surely he was very pleased to receive it. But I am not sure it did, because perhaps my cousin had left the hospital when the letter came. My father had just sent my last letter by the post of the air when I was told that my cousin had telegraphed on the 5th, from Southport C752 My health is good, I hope to come back soon. I was rather surprised, because I thought that my cousin would remain in England till the end of the war, whether he engaged or could not be sent home. But I do not rebuke him for having not engaged Cperhaps he is be- come unapt to service, because of his wound at the right armb, and the Eng- lish say that they do so to all the Frenchmen who are in England: the English let them free and use them in the same way, whatever be their choice. The Germans would not behave quite in the same way. When I was at my aunt's during the holidays, every night we listened to the English Wireless speaking for the French, from a quarter past eight to nine o'clock. Somebody, probably the French compelled by the Germans, tried to mix it all, but generally we heard well. The English and French in England improved their utterance every day, the others improved their mix- ing every day, but it was never improved enough to prevent us from hear- ing. The English and French wireless never succeeded in angering me with the Germans so well as the French wireless itself. We are now in bond- age, we are obliged to do what the Germans will, but we shall not give up our souls. Our souls are free, and they judge our enemies. I think that the outrages Which are done to somebody do not sully him, it is only the way in which he bears them and does what he is still free to do, it is only this which can disgrace him. Here comes now a quantity of news which will please you, I think. I do PARIS HIGH SCHOOL YEAR BOOK 31 not relate them because they can please you but because they seem to be true. First, when the two zones of France could be in communication in the C23 of France, in the occupied zone fzone where the Germans are seatedh, the sentry placed on 'a certain point was killed every nightg every night a German soldier was killed in this place. Then the Germans deprived the whole department of correspondence. Meantime a German was killed in the woods of Boulogne, at Paris. Then the Germans deprived all the occupied zone of correspondence with the free zone. These small facts show our mind and the hearty relations between us and our masters. Do not think that I approve of these murders: it is the best way of starv- ing us, of depriving much people of work and bringing on a revolution: none of the two zones can live without the goods of the other part, and France cannot live if it is cut in two parts. You cannot fancy how deeply true this is. That is why I think that the men who kill the German soldiers are ra- ther unskillful. But they show you that we are not well disposed to the Germans. Another feat like these: at Nantes several people cut cables of telephone, and the Germans laid on the tovsm Hnes of two and live millions. COnce more the cutters were unskillfulh. Some rumors very obliging to the English are running: it is said that Germans tried to land in England and they were burnt because the English threw some essence cn the sea and 1'lI'Gd it. This looks very romantic but it can be true. This rumor is spread about in the free zone and even in the occupied zone. Did you ever hear it? If you had heard it too, it would pro- bably be true. Another little story: in June, while the Germans were going forward in the Jura, one day they established a camp near the town where I was born. While they were there, English bombardiers' fthe aeroplanes which throw the bombsj were perceived. Directly all the soldiers left the camp and run- ning for their dear life, they hid in the woods around. The country man who saw them run away says that he never saw men look so afraid, and he thinks that French soldiers would not have run quite so. We are defeated indeed, but nobody called our courage in question. The Germans respect our An- ciens Combattantsj' it is the only thing which they respect, besides: but they value the men who vanquished them twenty years ago. The Germans seem to fear the English airplanes very much. The Eng- lish do much harm in Germany indeed. The German newspapers cannot hide the damage, because the people of Berlin, Hambourg and other places could deny them. My brother read some of these newspapers, and it seems that Berlin is greatly injured in some places. Life becomes so painful in some towns of Germany that German soldiers have their wives and children 32 PARIS HIGH SCHOOL YEAR BOOK come in the occupied zone of France. I hate this colonization of France by the Germans. We have been sure for some time that we shall lose Alsace-Lorraine, at the peace, save if England is victorious, which seems very likely. We should even lose more of land than in 1871. Nancy, etc., would become German, these towns which have been French for such a long time, and had been spared in 1871. The Germans drive out from Alsace-Lorraine all the people who are not born in these provinces or who seem too faithful to us. Many French have been driven so, and are taken care of here, with the refugees. The expulsion is always quick, some Germans come to the man, warn him that he must be away within two hours and let him take all he can gather meanwhile, with 2,000 francs, and nothing more. Among all the reports that run here, I forgot to say this one: the Ger- man soldiers seem to be in rather low spirits, because they have battled al- ready for a year and they do not see the end of it. One of them had not come back home for two years! Another has been told that his wife and children have been killed in a bombardment . It is really a very wonder- ful thing that these soldiers who always succeeded till to-day, are not in very high spirits. But you must think that the Germans have been tired out these last years: sent one day to Prague, another to Dantzig, another against the Polanders, another in the Siegfried line, another in Holland, Belgium, France, and another-to the death--under the English bombs. Now, along the coasts of France they do but wait fand you must know that inaction is very bad for a soldierj: they do but wait, get drunk, and feed. The blockade does not impede much the Germans from making war, be- cause all the necessary goods are produced by them or sold by the countries like Russia, Sweden, etc., but the food is wanting a little, particularly for the civilian, because Hitler thinks that chocolate, butter, fruits, and so on are not indispensable for the war. So when the Germans came in France, they rushed on all the good things they had not eaten for many a year, and it is rather probable that they would not like to be deprived of them now, when they have tasted them again. Now if you will I can describe you the Germans, who remained here from the 19th of June to the 11th of July. They are dressed in green . . . Generally the German neck is very large and fat, their hair is very often yellow and very pale, their complexion is red, red like bricks, or only pink. But the skin is never dusk. Instead of becoming dusk like us, when they live in the sun, they become redder than they are. Those we saw here were never lean. But they wre not the fighting men, they were the occupying men, who are not so strong or not so young. CThe above letter was received by one of our Upper School students from a pen-pal in Lyon, Francel. Editor. PARIS HIGH SCHOOL YEAR BOOK 33 Commencement The Commencement Exercises of the Paris High School took place on the evening of November 29 in the gymnasium of the school, where a large and enthusiastic audience gathered for the program. The singing of O Canada which opened the program was followed by an address by the chairman, Mr. Butcher. The principal, after welcoming the guests spoke of the changes which had taken place in the past year. He mentioned with regret the loss of two members of the staff and of the school secretary, and spoke a word of welcome to their successors. Speaking of the accommodation, Mr. Butcher drew attention to the plan of the Board of Edu- cation to build a storeroom at the back of the school. The principal then called on Mr. D. R. Elwood, Chairman of the Board of Education, to present medals to the athletic champions and ribbons to the winners at the W.O.S.S.A. B athletic meet. The folowing students were presented with their awards: Senior Girls, Dorothy Kingg Intermediate Girls, Edna King and Mavis Riddell Ctiedlg Junior Girls, Elise Pike, Senior Boys, Arthur Pike and Arthur Racey Ctiedjg Intermediate Boys, George Guthrie, Junior Boys, John Grieve. Ribbons were presented to Ann Ballan- tyne who came second in the Junior Standing Broad J umpg to Ruth Veit who tied for the Senior Girls' Championship and came first in the Senior Base- ball Throw, second in the Basketball Throw, to Herbert Inksater, winner of first place in the Junior Pole Vault, first in the Junior Running High Jump, third in the Junior Hop, Step and J umpg to George Pinkett, third in the Jun- ior Shot Putg to Arthur Pike, second in the Intermediate Shot Putg to Charles Monteith, first in the Senior Pole Vault. Ribbons were presented also to the Junior Boys' Relay Team which came first-John Grieve, William Hartley, Arthur Howey, George Pinkett. Following this presentation the Junior Girls' Relay Team which came second was introduced to the audience-Ann Ballantyne, Helen Perley, Elise Pike, Mavis Riddell. After a finely rendered violin solo by James O'Neail, accompanied at the piano by Patricia Reeves, ths principal presented the Intermediate Certin- cates, which, it was explained, are granted by the Department of Education cn the recommendation of the Principal to the students who have successful- ly completed two years' work at the High School. An accordion solo by Ormonde Harold was heartily applauded by the appreciative audience. ln the absence of Mr. Erle Taylor, Chairman of the Management Com- mittee, Mr. Elwood presented the Commercial and Graduation Diplomas. After expressing his regret that Mr. Taylor yas unable to be present, he con- gratulated the students who were leaving the school for higher realms of en- deavour. He wished them lasting success and hoped that they would always have happy recollections of their days at Paris High School. Mr. Butcher expressed his pleasure at having every graduate present to receive his diploma. 34 PARIS HIGH SCHOOL YEAR BOOK Following this, Marilyn Appleby, Ann Ballantyne, Elizabeth McCowan and Barbara Wilkes, accompanied by Jean Martin, a former graduate, delighted their listeners with a violin quartette. The next item on the program was the presentation of Honour Matricu- lation Scholarships. Miss Helen Smith, in presenting the scholarship in English to George Billings, expressed her belief in the importance of the study of English Literature in building up the high ideals which are so vital to us at the present time. Mrs. John Lewis, educational secretary of the Prince of Wales Chapter I.O.D.E., presented the scholarship in Modern His- tory to Paul Anderson and congratulated him on his achievement. On behalf of Mr. Charles H. Baird, Mr. Butcher presented the scholarship in Mathema- tics to James O'Neai1. In the absence of Dr. G. W. Bell, the principal pre- sented to Donna Cowan the scholarship in Latin, and remarked that it seem- ed singularly fitting that a niece of Miss Cowan's should win this award this year. Mr. C. B. Robinson, who donated the scholarship in French, spoke of the importance of this language in our national life. Of the twelve million people who constitute Canada's population, four million are French Cana- dians. This is an important minority. Mr. Robinson outlined the history of the relations between the French and English in Canada and the change that has come about in our attitude towards the French Caadians. On congratu- lating the winner of this scholarship, James O'Neail. Mr. Robinson exhorted him to speak French on seeking admission at the pearly gates, and he con- cluded his remarks with a few words of French to the audience. The chairman then called to the platform the Valedictorian, Donna Co-wan, who obtained the highest standing in the Upper School examinations. Speaking on behalf of the graduating class she mentioned the pleasant mem- ories which they took with them and their belief that graduation does not close but opens the door to broader learning. She expressed their apprecia- tion to their parents, to the Board of Education, to the citizens, and to Mr. Butcher and the assistant teachers. Speaking of the grim and threatening world which faces the graduates of to-day, she expressed the hope that all would show the same courage and determinaticn to win as those who were in active service. She closed her remarks with the wish that the graduating class of 1940 might always be able to say, There'l1 always be an England. One of the highlights of the evening was the presentation of a one-act play, The Trysting Place, under the capable direction of Mr. Smith. In the lounge of a country hotel was unfolded the plight of the Briggs family, Lan- celot, young, but feeling very grown up, tDonley Moganj, madly infatuated with the widow Mrs. Curtis fMarjoree Gillieslg Mrs. Briggs fRuth Cowanj, his mother, also a widow and inclined to remember her one-time fiance, Mr. lngoldsby CArthur Raceyjg Jessie Briggs CHope Veigell his sister, secretly in love with a poor young man, Rupert Smith QDonald Swartzl. The hum- orous unfolding of the plot, and the discovery of the three unwilling eaves- droppers brought to a close this play which was very much enjoyed by the audience. After the singing of the National Anthem, the staff entertained the PARIS HIGH SCHOOL YEAR BOOK 35 graduates, donors of scholarships and members of the Board of Education at a reception in one of the large classrooms decorated with Bowers and school colours. Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Bernhardt poured coffee and a pleas- ant hour was spent renewing old acquaintances and meeting new friends. A dance in the gymnasium following the reception brought to a successful close the Commencement Exercises of the Paris High School for the year 1940. Helena E. Riedel.

In basket- ball a number of teams were chosen and games arranged for the noon hour and after four. The team captained by Doris Gillies and consisting of Mari- lyn Appleby, Mary Charlton, Patricia Reeves, Jean Stewart, Hope Veigel, Jane Whitham and Peggy Whitham, won the highest score. This is the second year that a team captained by Doris Gillies has won and she will again have the honour of having her name engraved on the cup donated by Mrs. Butcher. The girls also had a school team last year and as usual played games with Brantford, Waterford and Galt. The w-eatherman was especially good to us this year. Our Annual Field Day was bright and warm and was as usual a great success. Our congratu- lations go to the champions. In the Senior class Dorothy King was the win- ner. In the Intermediate class Mavis Riddell and Edna King tied, and in the Junior class Elise Pike was the winner. This year some girls were sent to compete in the London Field Meet. They did very well. Ruth Veit tied for the Senior Championship. This year we are happy to welcome our new Physical Training teacher, Miss Craig. Miss Craig has already won numerous friends and has shown great efficiency in her work. Muriel Wise.

Herbert Monteith Last year P,H.S. again entered a basketball team in the W.O.S.S.A. Se- nior B group. They were successful in triumphing over their group oppon- ents, Waterford and Ingersoll, very easily, and entered the finals against Essex. But they met stiff opposition in Essex and were beaten in two straight games. Intra-mural basketball was played during the year. The team captained by Jack Breffitt was victorious. Last winter inter-form hockey was played. Lower and Upper School were contested against each other in the finals. After a great battle, Upper School finally won out by a narrow margin. During the spring months a softball team was picked from the school. They played against Ayr and Drumbo and came out unbeaten, defeating their opponents by decisive scores. In the Intra-mural softball, Jack Tom- linson's team were the champs. On Wednesday, October 2nd, under excellent weather condition, our annual Field Day was held. Congratulations to the champions-Senior, Ar- thur Pike and Arthur Racey, tiedg Intermediate, George Guthrieg Junior, John Grieves. Track teams were sent to the London W.O.S.S.A. Meet and Waterloo Meet last spring. At London William Horrocks placed second in the shot put and third in the hop, step and jump. This fall, a strong team was sent to London. Herbert Inksater was runner-up for the Junior Championship. In the Junior Pole Vault, Herb set a new record with a leap of well over nine feet. Charles Monteith also set a new record in the Senior Pole Vault. The Junior Relay team consisting of Arthur Howey, John Grieves, Tom Richardson and Bill Hartley placed first in their event. Congratulations to the best track team for some years. Murray Kellum.

Each of the three Physical Education classes was divided into four teams. The captains of these teams were picked by the instructor and they chose their own teams. During class periods the captains were in charge of their teams as they worked at the different events. They were responsible for helping improve the form of their team-mates and worked conscientiously to this end. Each team was given one period to practise at an event and on the following period the best mark attained by each member of the team was recorded. The marks of all members of a team were averaged. These ave- rages were compared and the competition to see which team could obtain the highest average in each event was very keen. The same teams competed on Field Day with points being givzn as fol- lows: for each event a competitor entered, 2 points, and in addition for first. 5 points, for second, 3 points, for third, 2 points, and for fourth, 1 point. Points were also given for placing first or second in a heat. In each Physical Education class ribbons were given to the members cf the team finishing first. These competitions were probably a contributing factor to the success of P.H.S. at the W.O.S.S.A. B Meet in London.

My search completedg I stepped into the office of the Daily Bosh just in time to see the proofs of the yearly edition before they went to press. As I threaded my way through the litter of desks and paper toward the door of the editor's office, I was assailed by a figure flying through it pursued by a chair, a couple of books, and a stream of profanity from which I gathered the two words SPECIFIC DETAILS. As I watch- ed, Scoop Butcher picked himself up, and his manuscript, and limped de- jectedly across the room to sit down amid the jumble of papers and pencils that constituted his desk. He began laconically to tap his typewriter in an effort to insert a few specific details into his rejected article. With the passing of this momentary diversion, I set out once more to see my friend the editor. I found him sprawled in his swivel chair, true Mogan style, with his feet on the desk in front of him and his green eyeshade set rakishly on the back of his head as he meditatively swung a pencil in time to the music of a small radio. Recognizing me, and recalling our school- days to gether, he immediately agreed to show me around the office. Setting out we came upon Jeanie Maus, Editoress of the Lovelorn Column, sitting on a high stool by the window, staring dreamily out into space. On her knees lay a block of writing paper, blank but for the scrib- bled words- Dear Warren. Evidently, I thought, Romeo of the Plough' is a fascinating gentleman. The Chief brought her sharply back to the present by demanding the proofs of her column for that issue. After a quick search through her papers, she produced the current script of Moony Mean- deringsf' Leaving Jeanie to her dreams we proceeded toward the desk of i'Flash Barnes, Sports editor. In his write-up of a recent rugby game he commend- ed highly, Fred Mantle, Norm. Watts and Bill Griffiths for their outstanding playing. At a recent field meet, the column stated, the laurels were won by that great athlete, Lloyd Herriman, and in the same item I noticed that James Stockton had done exceptionally well in the high jump, having achieved the extraordinary height of thirty-six feet. Presently, as we stood reviewing old times with Dave for a moment, we were interrupted by Bernice Kent who brought her Society Page for Editor Mogan's approval. Among the items I noticed one concerning the coming- out party of that glamorous debutante Miss Norma Dorchester-Pottruff. The PARIS HIGH SCHOOL YEAR BOOK 43 Gold Room of the Blitz was filled to capacity by a large crowd of prominent people including such celebrities as Barron and Billings, the world-famous tap dancing team, and Miss Doris Edgington, well-known concert pianist, escorted by her manager, Mr. Robert Hough. The music for dancing was supplied by Don Chittenden and his Merry Minstrels. But our time was growing short, and we hurried on to see the Fashions column, written in the inimitable style of Dorothy Morgan, with photographs by Josephine Rowlett of those Hollywood models, Ruth, Gladys and Jeanne, in ravishing ensembles by Perriman of Paris. On the next page I noticed an article on matched make-up written by that wizard with weary wizagesf' Howard Simon. Howie advocates that old truth,-Alway wear kiss-proof lipstick-. Hurriedly glancing over the rest of the proofs for the Fashion column I came to one titled Posing with Pottruffsf' Upon perusing it, I found it to be advice to glamour gals by that famous pair, Marge and Audrey, on how to pose for candid shots. Their illustrations were beautiful portraits of Lonesome Leon and Mournful Margy, those famous blues singers of radio and screen. With an amused chuckle, I followed Chief Mogan toward the desk of Don Stickland, cartoonist. Don's desk was a litter of paper and his waste basket overnowed with crumpled drawings. Finally he produced the cur- rent adventures of Bertha and Uncle Joe. Next to this he had drawn his equally famous cartoon Baby Austin and Mama Beta. In this issue, I saw, Mama had taken Baby Austin to the circus to see the elephants and Baby had been so thrilled that Mama decided to to take the DEAR little fellow often. Well, so much for Don and his brilliant cartooning and so much for the famous Daily Bosh. With the cheery good wishes of Chief Mogan and the rest of the staff ringing in my ears, I reluctantly departed, resolving then and there to visit them often. Hic and Illa. The Tea Dance On the first day of February, those of our number who were lucky enough to have escaped detention, gathered in the gym at four o'clock. Soon the strains of the latest dance tunes reached every room. The second tea dance had begun. At first the boys sat in a row while the girls looked de- mure. Then Mr. Bernhardt, who always gets things in motion, led in the Grand March. Everyone was bewildered and out of breath. Then a Paul Jones had every boy and girl dancing. Jitterbugs and Venetian waltzers held forth till the stroke of six, when footsore and hungry, but happy, we trooped homeward. H. V.

TORONTO, October 28, 1940. 50 PARIS HIGH SCHOOL YEAR BOOK P. H. S. Camera Club Mr. Smith, the honorary president of the Club, deserves all the credit for beginning it and keeping it going. A photography enthusiast himself, he saw many cf the students taking pictures of the field day events last term. Some of the students asked him for advice about making pictures and this convinced him P.H.S. should have a camera club. A few days later he had notices placed around the school requesting those interested in photo- graphy to assemble after classes. About twenty students attended that first meeting and the officers of the club were electd. A small room in the basement of the school was easily converted into an excellent darkroom with Mr. Smith's help. The darkroom has running water which is necessary for developing and printing, and it is absolutely light proof. The Board of Education was kind enough to give the club a grant to buy chemicals and other equipment. Mr. Smith showed some of the members how to mix the chemicals and he lent some of his photographic cquiment to the club. At present Mr. Smith is helping the students build an enlarger. The officers of the club are : Honorary President ..,.,. ............ M r. Smith President ...,.. ..,.,....... .,.... G e orge Billings Treasurer ...............,...,......,... ..,.. M arjoree Gillies Custodian of the Darkroom ,.,....,.,,.......,...,....... Lloyd Sugden Any student of P.H.S. can join the club. There are no dues but members using the darkroom after school or at noon pay a small sum to cover the cost of the chemicals. Thus whenever the chemicals are exhausted more can be bought. Following the custom of other high school camera clubs only a few meetings are held each year. At the second meeting last year Mr. Smith explained the processes of developing and printing. The next meeting of the camera club, some weeks later, was called to discuss exposures and portraits. Last April Mr. Smith took the members for a trip to the country where he explained the photography of silhouettes and clouds. The camera club has gained the good will of the teaching staff and the Board of Education, and we hope that under Mr. Smith's guidance and in- structive crticism the club will continue for many years.

Being both rich and interested in education, Edward Alleyn founded a little school in Dulwich, offering free education to ten poor schol- ars under one master, and at his death he left all his lands for the upkeep of this school and its scholars. Steadily the school grew larger, and the number of pupils increased until the present day, and although the number of masters increased like- wise, the Headmaster is always called the Master, in memory of the days when there was only one. Now, amidst green playing fields, lie the warm red buildings in which are taught some eight hundred boys of ages between twelve and eighteen. Walking up the gravel row from the main gate with its famous wrought iron, well-kept lawns and ordered lines of trimmed cypresses on either side, the visitor sees before him the loftis' centre block, with statued niches in the wall and the beautiful Window in the Great Hall, perhaps resounding with the soothing notes of an organ. On each side, connecting with the centre block by arched cloisters, lie the North and South blocks. The North block, in which are the Senior forms on the left, is overshadowed by the tall clock tower, which sets the time for all of the College. If the visitor continues on through the cloisters, he sees before him the first XI pitch and the first XV ground and the Young pavilion on the left. Farther to his left stands the armoury, of which the D.C.O.T.C. is justly proud, and straight ahead, the swimming baths, gymnasium and changing rooms, all in the red brick style, and on the right, the science block. Peeping over the wall of the miniature range is the Blew House, the king of the boarding houses with its neighbour, lvisholme. The last view of the college is the Sanatorium, walled off in the furthest corner of the school grounds. No better closing can be found than a verse from one of the school songs, handed down from generation to generation of Alleynians : When Edward Alleyn trod the boards in Shakespeare's golden time With Drake and Raleigh, ruffled lords of Ind and Arctic clime, A little seed was humbly sown, And now to what huge stature grown. Sons of the Mother, forth we go To the tropic suns, to the polar snow, Age bows our south but still the Hame Burns wisely to the end the same. This is our gift at the altar laid Thus shall the sons of the Mother be paid, Strong hands, keen eyes, clean hearts and bold, By these shall her sons through the world be told. Jolyon Thwaites.

On November the fifteenth, the students of P.H.S. were privileged to hear a most interesting and instructive address given by Mr. Long, the his- torian of the Bell Telephone Company. The speaker was accompanied by Mr. Emerson, the local managerg and by Mr. Brodie, manager of the Brant- ford Branch. Mr. Long's subject was The Telephone in Warfare, and the By-Pro- ducts of Telephonic Research. By means of an extraordinary Northern Electric voice amplifying system and many interesting models, Mr. Long demonstrated how Graham Bel1's first crude telephone transmitted only vowel sounds, how the squeaks and buzzes have been eliminated through the use of new materialsg and how outside sounds are shut 0E in the newest cradle-type telephon-e. He also used the amplifier to show how a wonderful voice-scrambling machine is used for trans-oceanic wireless telephony, to prevent unwanted parties from listening in by short-wave radio. Mr. Long continued by displaying a field telephone used in the Great War bythe Canadian forces, comparing it with the latest method of two-way conversations between headquarters and forces afield. He had two German telephones captured during the last war. The first was an excellent instru- ment taken early in the warg but the second, a 1918 model, made of wood and plastics and containing as little metal as possible, showed the effects of the British blockade. In the by-products field we saw metal floating in air factually a magnet of the wonderful new metal alnico , which can be permanently magnetiz- edi. We saw a metal rod which could be magnetized by the magnetism of the earth. Both these metals are used in the improvement of telephone con- struction. Next we had the submarine-detector ear explained to us. The aero- plane detector which can hear a motor's sound and not only tell how many aeroplanes, but what kind they are at twenty miles' distance was described. Then he recounted the principles of the electric altimeter which tells the distance of an aeroplane above the land directly below, and not above sea level as do most altimeters. Mr. Butcher thanked Mr. Long for his excellent educational address and needless to say he voiced the appreciation of the entire assembly. George W.

Chittenden and Mac Pherson set out with their dog for the little Brown church in the Dale. Going Hayward, they crossed the Brooks into the Cowsland where they saw cows, boys and roosters having a game of ball. Look, he's Fielding that with one hand, said Mac. Betty misses. Just then Chittenden saw a Frosch-us Finn stand- ing in front of the cow Barnes brandishing a large Kane. The Coxall fled for their lives. Said Ed agar but I can't Barrett, let's go. Mac, Keen to go also, said Yes, let's go, we musn't get to Church ill. They hurried on and when they came to the Hutt on the Aulse brook which Joynes a smaller stream nearby, Ed remarked Ar threll has made me hungry. Let's get a snack to Phyllis up. A lady with a Fairbairn in her arms and a small son by her side opened the door. Mac said Granton I Hold'er for ye and keep the Foolsetter outside could ye give us a bite? They received some Graham scones and a Cl egg and as they reached the Church Ed said he felt much Camer on this occasion than when he was last at the Church for the Marion of Jean and James. As they entered the door Mac kenzie all his Scottish friends, Johnson, Gibson, McHutcheon, McDonald and Emerson. Kelly, the Irish minister from Hamilton, read a chapter from Ruth and preached on Abraham. When he said May the Dutchburn, Mac yelled Don't you mean Hitler? The minister was in a Hough and his Adam's apple could be seen Edgin' to 'n fro as he asked Who did that? Mac replied Allen don lt.

Elson Writes from England Leading Airman James Elson, 1937 Paris High School graduate, in a let- ter to his parents, gives some interesting news on the raids and the results of the same as follows: You were asking about the raid damages. Well it's rather hard to tell. In places like London, Liverpool and the larger cities considerable damage has been done, and unfortunately people killed, quite a number. I know it is rather hard when it is so close to home, but there are several facts to be examined. Did you know that up to the middle of August there were more German airmen killed in attacks on England than civilians killed by bombs? And did you know that up to the same time there were more people killed in automobile accidents? Then came the Blitzkrieg. Hundreds and some- times thousands of planes were hurled against England and particularly London. Up to now lNov. lstl I doubt if there has been more than twenty thousand people killed by raids over England. Then compare that with this. All these following figures represent those killed in One Day Alone!-War- saw, thirty thousandg The Hague, ten thousandg Rotterdam, one hundred thousand. Yes, I know these figures sound fantastic but nonetheless they are true. and to think that some day one man has to answer for all of them. Well. I am glad I am not that man. As regards grandma, she's simply grand. They've had some pretty hot raids around there, but unless you were actually looking for damage you would see very little. Portsmouth has proved just a wee bit too tough a nut to crack. For instance a cruiser was in harbour when an attack was made by about twenty Jerrys. The first five wheeled toget.her and dove beautiful- ly right into a hail of A. A. fire from the cruiser. Being fully loaded with bombs they just disintegrated in mid-air. The rest high-tailed for home. Of course, this is listed as an intensive raid, but you can see very little dam- age was done.

The Evolution of the Recommendation System in Ontario The recommendation system was intrcduced in the Lower School first. Students were granted standing on the Lcwer School subjects if they made an average of 50'Z, on the school examinations with the provision that a stu- dent who was not recommended had the privilege of writing the Departmen- PARIS HIGH SCHOOL YEAR BOOK 59 tal examination in a subject or subjects. In June 1922, this applied to Cana- dian History and Geography only but, the next year, it was extended to all subjects. Apparently, the Departmental Lower School examination was abolished after that of June 1937 and standing was granted only on the re- commendation of the principals. Commencing June 1932, students were granted Middle School standing on any paper which, in the judgment of the teacher and the principal, they had obtained a standing on their year's work of at least 6672. A stu- dent who failed to make 66W was allowed to write the Departmental exam- ination. In June 1935, the recommendation system was extended to the Upper School on the same conditions as those governing the Middle School. In June 1940, the Middle School Departmental examination was sus- pended and students were granted standing on the basis of 50'Z, on each pa- per. The staff submitted marks to the Department for each student for each paper for which he made application. The Special Revising Board of the Department of Education considered the candidates record on all his papers in making its decisions. Under special circumstances, it granted certificates on subjects on which he failed to make 5092. Special provision was made for students who were not in attendance at high school during all or part of the year. These had to notify the principal not later than March 1 and take such examinations as he decided. A separate report was made to the Department for these candidates. The recommendation system was retained in the Upper School in 1940 but, commencing in 1941, all candidates for Up- per School certificates will write the Departmental examinations. In June 1941 there will be no Departmental Middle School examina- tions. Certificates will be granted under same conditions as in 1940. A few extracts from the latest Regulations of the Department of Educa- tion: 10. Clj Middle School fGrades XI and XID stan.ding in one or more papers will be granted to pupils in attendance at the day or the night classes of any Collegiate Institute, High, Continuation or Vocational School under the following conditions: Cab the qualifications of the teachers concerned and the provisions made for teaching the Middle School CGrades XI and XIIJ courses shall be satisfactory to the Minister of Educaticng fbi the pupils shall have completed the prescribed courses therefor and in the judgment of the Principal and the teacher shall have obtained a standing on his year's work of at least 50 per cent.g Ccj the Principal of the school and the teachers of the subjects concern- ed shall certify that the foregoing conditions have been fulfilled. 3. Cbl The methods of procedure in determining the standing of Middle School CGrades XI and XID candidates are left to the discretion of the Principal and staff of each school. Cgb All Middle and Upper School certificates will indicate Credit and Proficiency standing as heretofore. 60 PARIS HIGH SCHOOL YEAR BOOK Former Graduates Zelma Creeden, Reg.

Most of the universities and colleges of Europe have been closed, while all the institutions, still open, devoted to higher educa- tion are labouring under difficulties. This in itself may result in a severe setback for the processes of civilization. 3. What is the responsibility of Canadian youth in face of this situation? 4. The answer is not difficult. Each self-respecting and capable boy and girl will determine at once to meet the issue. 5. Your King and your country call you to prepare yourself for trained leadership and skilled service in the years that are ahead. 6. Have you faced this problem for yourself?

The Junior School consists of the forms 2 Cbj, 2 Cal, Lower 3rd, Middle 3rd and Upper 3rd. Usually at the age of fourteen the Junior School boy takes an examination to enter the Middle Form, which prepares him for the Senior School which is composed of the forms from the Lower Fourth to the Sixth. From one of the Fifth forms the boy takes the school certificate and Matriculation examination. Having passed this, he enters the Remove, and then the Lower Sixth from which he takes Higher Certificate, and then passes into the Sixth, which prepares him for the University Scholarship exam. A year is spent in each form, so it would take the very best scholar seven years to complete the whole course. Boys are discouraged from enter- ing the College under the age of fourteen, so many boys take the exam to enter the Senior School from other Preparatory Schools, and according to their results pass into any form up to the Lower Ffth. The Senior School is divided into Group I for classics, Group II for modern languages, Group III for science, and Group IV for engineering. All groups take English, French and Mathematicsg in addition to which Group I takes Greek, Latin and Biology, Group II takes German and Biology, and Group III takes German and Chemistry. After matriculation boys specialize in two or three subjects. Games are divided into two classes, Major and Minor Sports. For win- ter the major sport is rugby football and the minor sports fives and squash. During the summer the major sport is cricket and the minor sports tennis and athletics. Minor sports all the year round are swimming, shooting, fencing and boxing. Probably the only sport not understood will be tives, which is essentially the same as squash, except the racquet is replaced by the gloved hand. There are several activities besides games, chief of which are the choir and the orchestra. The choir consists of some thirty trebles, ten altos, ten tenors and twenty basses, while the orchestra is composed of about eight violins, two violas, four 'cellos, two double-basses and a bewildering selec- tion of wind instruments. In addition to these two there are well equipped wood and metal workshops, a philatelic society and natural history society. The Dulwich College Officers' Training Corps, which until some thirty years ago was a Rifle Brigade, is a battalion of four companies, each made up of three platoons of thirty cadets. In every platoon there are a platoon commander, a platoon sergeant and a few N.C.O.'s of lower rank. All the N.C.O.'s are boys, while the commissioned officers and the battalion ser- geant-major are men. The battalion has one uniform parade and one mufti parade a week. In addition to the battalion proper are a Signal Coips, a PARIS HIGH SCHOOL YEAR BOOK 67 VISIT 9 Lough s Drug Store Dalhousie and King Sts. - - - Brantford FOR YOUR PHOTOGRAPHIC SUPPLIES Kodaks, Films, Accessories Cine Kodaks, Projectors, , Enlargers, Papers, Developers, and numerous other articles.

Also once a year is the Corps Shout , which is an entertainment by the O.T.C. and the Corps Supper for the N.C.O.'s. At Dulwich there are three boarding houses, the Blew House, lvyholine and Orchard. An account of the life at the Blew House follows. The Blew House. which is set within the school grounds, is half devoted to the Housemaster. his family and the servants, and half to the boys. There 68 PARIS HIGH SCHOOL YEAR BOOK are three floors. On the ground floor of the boys' half are the common rooms, dining hall, bathroom and changing room, while the upper floors are for sleeping, each containing one six-bed dormitory and a corridor of four- teen cubicles and a bathroom. These cubicles, in many other schools called studies, are completely pannelled off and each accommodates one boy with his bed, bureau and chest of drawers. On the second floor are the Matron'S rooms and the sick-bay, and on the top floor the rooms of the assistant house- master. The Housemaster looks after the running of the house and any major difficulties of the boys, while the Matron attends to any minor troubles and light colds. For seriously contagious or dangerous illnesses or for broken bones, etc., instead of the sick-bay, the patient goes to the Sanatorium, an entirely separated building walled off in the farthest corner of the grounds. The new boy who becomes a boarder at the usual age of between twelve and fifteen, starts oi? as a Junior . The Juniors sleep in the dormitories and are generally about nine in number After one or two years the Junior becomes a Senior. The Seniors, of whom there are twenty-one, have a separate common room and sleep each in his own cubicle. Five of the seniors are prefects who have a large cubicle for their com- mon room. These are the agents of law and order and hold the power to beat offenders fwith the more intimate slipper rather than the formal caneb. The Juniors are liable to fagging which is carrying out any command of a Prefect, and also have to keep the house clean. There are very few rules, the existing Ones being the setting of the bounds, outside which no one may go without permission, whose two square miles include every necessary shop, and the restriction of going out without written invitation to a friend's house fi.e. cinemas, etc.J to three times a term. The one great rule is that A breach of common sense will be treated as a breach of discipline. There are of course set times for lights Out, 9.30 for Juniors and 10.00 for Seniors. Breakfast begins at 8.00 prompt. each boy goes in to dinner at whatever time he returns from morning school, and tea is at 6.15 in winter time and 6.30 in summer.

Yours truly, the eldest in the family, had one more year to spend in High School, and, with fearful trepidation looked forward to a new life in a new school. Then came September! Bravely ward a certain beautiful edifice on Riverview Terrace life in Paris High School. However, it soon became hero's fears were groundless. Was he regarded as an 1 our hero slunk off to- and began his new apparent that all our outsider-a trespasser on private property? He was not! By noon he was speaking with two boys across the aisle, even though names were confused. Within two weeks, the outsider, along with two other newcomers to the school, was an important cog in the machinery which gave headaches to every teacher in the school. He was even fortunate enough to be selected as a member of the Athletic Society. The newcomers played baseball and basketball, attended jam-ses- sions and generally horsed around with the rest of the fellows and even knew a few members of the fair sex. By Christmas, they were very happy young men who would not return to the city for the world. Now, we have graduated and must leave the school. May I take this oportunity, on behalf of those who entered P.H.S. in 1939, to express our sincere appreciation of the welcome accorded us by the school as a wholeg-- by our beloved Headmaster, by our teachers, by our classmates, and by the rest of the student body. Never have I seen such fine spirit, never shall I forget it. This spirit, prevalent among the people of Paris, is one of which the town can be justly proud. It is this spirit which binds the students and graduates to their school. It is this spirit, which, in later years, when I am asked the name of my Alma Mater, will cause me to ansewr with pride: Paris High School. A 1940 Grad.

We are grateful to one of our fifth form students, Ruth Cowan, for offer- ing us her very interesting letter from France. The editorial committee found this letter very interesting and we are glad of the opportunity of passing it along to you. The efforts of our English War Guest, Jolyon Thwaites, who has contri- buted two splendid articles on his school, Dulwich College, are much appre- ciated. One of the highlights of this year's book is the article, Per Signa Paratus, written by a former student of P.H.S. John Coates. Until last May he was a signalman on H.M.C.S. Acadia, but then he transferred to the Anti-Submar- ine Detector Investigation Committee and is now the Senior Submarine De- tector operator on the H.M.C.S. Acadia. Last February while on leave John very kindly consented to address the Literary Society on the Customs and Traditions of the Navy. We are indebted for the fine selections of poetry contained in 'these pages to Audrey Brooks, a member of our 1939 graduating class. While at P.H.S. Audrey very ably filled the position of Poetess of the Literary Society and several of her poems have previously honoured our Year Book. The absence of glaring errors in English and sentence-construction in the literary efforts contained within these pages is not merely good fortune. It is the result of much time and effort expended by Mr. Smith in correcting most of our copy. We are also greatly indebted to Mr. Smith for taking all of our Year Book pictures. Both the Editorial and Business Committees are very grateful for the much-needed assistance given them by our principal. In spite of many other activities requiring his attention, Mr. Butcher has given unstintingly of his valuable time in the interests of the Year Book. We wish to thank Dorothy McCrow who spent her spare time typing copy. The committee tried to obtain articles from former P.H.S. students now in active service in England in the army, air force, navy and marines. This was unfortunately impossible. And finally, I would like to express my sincere appreciation to the Edi- torial Committee for their co-operation and splendid achievements. Frances Inksater, Editor-in-Chief.

ERLE TAYLOR, Chairman of Management Committee 88 PARIS HIGH SCHOOL YEAR BOOK British War Humour 4With Compliments to Punchj Although Lord Beaverbrook's campaign for the collection of waste alu- minum is now closed, contributions continue to arrive by air from Germany. Adolf Hitler knows nothing of sport, says a writer. He may soon learn, however, that a visiting team often finds it very hard to win on their opponents' home ground. Italy is trying to obtain more coal and oil from Germany. This is needed of course to help the Italian Navy to keep up disappearances. Heaven knows how Dr. Goebbles made all his money, says a gossip writer. That is probably why he always looks so worried. It isn't much fun sleeping in a tin helmet, said an air warden on the wireless recently. And only very small air wardens can do it. It is feared in some quarters, that if many more German planes are brought down in this country the Anti Hitler Society will resign en bloc. Many of the B.B.C. staff sleep in the Concert Hall. This recital is never broadcast. It is reported that a bomb explosion blew the father and mother of a large family out of the drawing room window, unharmed. Horrid people are saying that this is the first time they had been out together for 15 years. Germans, says a Berlin paper, have got used to having very little sugar in their coffee, and also no coffee in their coffee. The manager of a Berlin business was arrested for falsifying the account. It is understood that he will be offered a post in the Ministry of Propaganda. We have all the soap in Germany that we need, boasts Goering. And of course more water than they know what to do with in the Channel. German officers have been buying English top-hats in Paris. If they de- lay the invasion until the winter we will be able to supplement our war munitions with snowballs. Hitler is quoted as saying that he has no intention of ending his career in the same way as Napoleon. Likely Napoleon hadn't either. Etiquette in the Italian Navy is very strict. When the occasion arises, a look-out man approaches an officer saying, 'iDon't look now, sir, but I think somebody is folowing us. We understand that the small field in the Eastern Counties, in which no German plane has yet crashed is to be thrown open shortly to sightseers in aid of the Spitfire fund. We read that newspaper men in France are at liberty to write what they like. But not for long after that. The French Government has asked Britain for compensation on account of damage to their fieet. Also on account of the Nazis wanting the money. PARIS HIGH SCHOOL YEAR BOOK 89 Reward Shoe Store THE SHOES YOU WANT AT THE PRICE YOU WANT TO PAY ! 163 Colborne St. Brantford, Ont.
