The business manager with his competent assistants had amassed a quantity of ads sufhcient to war- rant the publication of the eighth annual PELHAM PNYX. Hundreds of ads compiled with difiiculty, just waiting to be printed! And to what end? A few musty jokes, a stray pun, and an enigmatic paragraph were all the material that the editor had received. The editor hinted for, essayed for and finally demanded material. Better I should publish an almanacf' fumed the editor who could be seen tearing his hair. But all was not yet lost. Through the medium of auditorium assemblies, teachers and finally the radio, school-wide appeals were made for magazine material. Indolent English classes were exhorted. Teachers threatened to use extreme measures. Not even the lowly pun deemed it worth while to wend its way to the office. An ultimatum was reached, a special assembly called, the result . . . either . . . or else. Upper School determined to turn out some masterpieces. A barrel churn was set up in 3rd formg similes, metaphors, oxymorons, metonymys, hyper- boles, cute and quaint sayings, anything and everything was dumped in, The other forms followed upper school's lead and for one whole week short stories, essays, jokes and even the ubiquitous pun were churned up until it appeared that Ye Olde Pelham Pnyx would most assuredly be bigger and better than ever. What part is P. C. S. playing in this war? As soon as Canada declared war on Germany the boys of P. C. S. began to agitate for a Cadet Corps. After the authorities had granted permission to organize the corps almost every boy in the school voluntarily enrolled without hesitation. The students and the teachers have given generously to swell P. C. S.'s contribution to the Red Cross and the Salvation Army. This article could not be com lete without worthy mention of those graduates of P. C. S. who have enlisted in our armed forces. The students of this school are solidly behind the men who are carrying Can- ada's war effort to the Western Front, and this patriotic spirit helps rank the Niagara Peninsula among the most loyal districts of the Dominion.
