'Ghz 'Fcbozs 55 senior team certainly deserves much praise on its fine showing: anal I am sure that. they are playing in the true sports- manlike manner which has eharacterizefl all our teams in the past. To play the game and play fair is what we should all strive to clo. and I think I can flo no better now than quote to you a few maxims which hang on the wall of King George's Stllfly and which clearly express the true essence of good sportmanship: Teach me to be obedient to the rules of the game. Teach me neither to profter nor to receive cheap and uncleservefl praise. Teach me to win if I may: it' I may not win, then above all teach me to he a good loser. In conclusion let me urge you all anfl especially my fellow graxluates to make the most of every opportunity. In these mlays of economic depression the outlook many not appear very bright. to us but opportunities will occur at some time or other. and these we must. not let pass if we are to succeed. So he optimistic. keep smiling. ancl make the best of what comes your way. For: One ship sails east aml one sails west By the self-same winfl that blows. It's the set of the sail and not the gale That determines the way it goes. Like the wincls of the sea are the ways of fate, As we journey along through life: It's the set of the soul that deter- mines the goal. Anrl not the calm or the strife. LANVRENCE PIENRY.

'Ghz Tcboes 57 f x Q Wt DURING the past school year the orchestra has ably assisted at many functions. school and otherwise. Although some members have forsaken us we still carry nobly on assisted by several new members. Perhaps the foremost of these are our drummer. Hugh Davidson, and clarinets Harold Rogers and Bob Dyer. Nor must we neglect our typist, Ruth Fisher. who spends half our time getting down from the typing room. This year hlerrill has the piano to her- self and when she's in the mood. the books fly. Her aim isn't always true but when it is! You'd better duck. On several occasions Ferg. Barr has kindly condescended to help the rest of us, at least, when he's not too busy. By the way. we have two scholarship win- ners with us this year. Edna Borland and Ferg. Barr. You didn't know we were also intellectual. did you? This year, we had the honour of play- ing Sunday evening. lNIarch 8th. at George Street United Church. where a 31-piece orchestra. supplemented by hir. Unit at the organ, was directed by hfr. Weames. Among those assisting were: G. Broadley and hir. Wilson, bassg R. Kingdon, bellsg G. Gatlield. J. Skitch, J. lNIcKone. B. Huffman, B. McFadden, violins, and J. Telford in the absence of our own pianist: most of these are former members of the orchestra. These musicians also assisted at our annual concert. this year a comic operetta entitled Oh. Doctor! So you must admit the result of our practices. under lNIr. Vtleames' able leadership. is of the best quality.
