H. A. Craig. succeeded in making the year 1935 a most successful one. Captain Foulkes, the inspecting officer. manifested his un- qualified approval of their showing when he registered very goodi' for every item on the inspection report. Due credit should he bestowed on hir. C raig, who. through his own personal zeal and ahility. made this splendid record possihle. The Officers' llfess nn- der his guidance. hecame an enthusiastic organization. and did much for the gen- eral well-heing of the corps. Besides attending a church parade in good numbers earlier in the vear. three hundred and fiftv-seven cadets sinoothlv ever-uted the Ceremonial and Platoon drills on inspection dav. a company' right- wheel heing a new feature. The Bugle Band. let hv Lieutenant Yvalter Howell. ahly assisted in making the day a com- plete success. Following the inspection. Captain Foulkes addressed the cadets and com- plimented them on their fine showing. Number Three Platoon. under Lieutenant James lllorrow. was iustlv awarded the T. O. D. E. Shield and the various Lien- tenants received cups in recognition of their efforts. The cadets then executed a route march after which well-deserved cold drinks were served in the Armories. A very full day was rounded out hy a cadet dance in the gymnasium that night. The various hranches of the cadets outdid themselves this year. The First Aid Squad. under Lieutenant Hugh Davidson. showed ahle. practical know- ledge when attending to several faintin! casualties on inspection dav. A grant of one dollar was given hv the government to all those who onalitied for their St. .lohnis Amhnlance certificate. The Sig- nalling Corps. under T.ientenant F. Patte. also nnheld the hest tradition of P,C.VS. lmth the lilorse and the Semanhore classes doing well. Nearlv all of those taking the course qualified for the two dollar grant for Semaphore certificate. and five dollars for the llorsc. The shoot- ing teams were also well represented. Lieutenant Hagerman again winning the l.ord Strathcona medal. Shooting medals and medals donated to the sergeants hy llr. Kenner and llr. Craig were present- ed some time after the inspection. As for next year. it promises to be quite as good as last. if not better. Both the Officers' Training Corps and the Signal- ling and First Aid Squads will soon hegin their annual grind. and an Officers and N.C.0. picnic is planned. P. C. V. S. students should take full advantage of the opportunities offered them in their cadet corps.

08 idea of ever becoming a professor. Be absolutely certain that you have chosen the right course. Those students one sees slinking about the campus muttering dire threats and imprecations against the world are those who have found to their sorrow that their various uncles and aunts had started them into the wrong cou1'se. And above all, don't try to keep a budget. In these days of postage stamps and street-car tickets. that is practically an impossibility. It is so much more com- forting to know that you haven't the vaguest idea where your money has gone, than to have nicely tabulated the fact that on the 5th you had two chocolate milk-shakes and on tl1e 'Tth you bought an extravagantly expensive brand of tobacco. I illll afraid I cannot present the social aspect of college life as I have tempor- arily misplaced my Memories of a Fresh- man. Ivith best wishes for the Echoes, I am. Yours very sincerely, H. BOTXICK. IIE.-XR ED1'roR: The space devoted to letters from our students is generally very interesting and amusing reading. but I hope l'lchoes readers will not mind being serious lor a lcw moments, as I have something to say to both students and teachers and after some thought I decided that this would be the best way of expressing myself. Almost five years ago I left boarding enter Collegiate. for me here, as anything I had Of course 1 school in Brantford to It was vastly different conditions were unlike previously experienced. realized that it was pretty much up to me whether I made good or IIOI. but I also realized that it depended on you whether my attempt to make good should be pleasant or otherwise. and what I would like to express to you now, before I leave school. is my deep appreciation of the way you have helped and encouraged me while I have been with you. To the students I can only say that I hope indeed that you will be repaid for your kindness to me. I shall never forget 'Qty 'Echoes the girls who have made my walks to and from school so pleasant. and it is they who deserve the credit for my never having been late. To those whom I see only i11 the class-room. many thanks for and co-operation. To Dr. Kenner, Miss Cottrell, and the other members of the staff. I owe a deep your friendliness debt of gratitude which I can never adequately repay. Un my very first day at Collegiate you showed an inte1'est in me, even though I was a stranger to you. and you never seem to have lost that in- terest. You have helped me to overcome every difficulty which has occurred in mv work. and you always have time for a word of encouragement when things go wrong. Ivhen I have occasion to visit the otlice, Ur. Kenner always has a cheerful greeting for me which invariably urges me on. In closing, I will add only that if I cannot be of service to you directly. I shall be encouraged to go and pass on to some one else the help you have given ITIG. You who are graduating-may you have success in all your undertakings, and you who are just beginning your course-may you have the happiness which I have had at Peterborough Col- lcgiate.
