ATTENDANCE Our attendance during the present school year 1935-36 has been about the same as last year. Our peak attendance was in September last, when there were 1016 pupils on the rolls, with a staff of 38 teachers. STAFF Bliss llarion Jamieson B..-X., hl.Sc., last Julie resigned her position as assistant teacher in the Commercial Department of the Vocational School and was succeeded by ltlr. L. H. Collingwood. M.A., an honour graduate of Toronto University, and a specialist in Mathematics and Physics. We bid Mr. Collingwood a hearty welcome. hliss Pearl Faint, MA., and Bliss Alexandria Howson. B.A., are still absent on sick leave, and Miss Margaret White, B.A., and Bliss lllary Heasman, BA., are still acting as substitute teachers. During the temporary absence. on account of sickness, of Miss lllary O'Connell, B.A., and Miss J. lllarie Hicks, B.A., we were fortunate in securing in their place the services of lllrs. S. J. Graham and llliss Dorothy Henry. B.A. FOOTBALL Our outstanding achievement in the field sports was the winning of the Senior Championship of the Lake Ontario Dis- trict of the Central Ontario Secondary School Association. Coach Bamforth had his team in fine fettle and they battled their way to the semi-finals, where they met defeat at the hands of St. Michael's College. The boys put up a good clean fight and won a host of fresh supporters by their sportsmanlike conduct on and off the field. Our 1935 team was the best we have had since that of 1931. which was the better team is often a topic of discussion. The 1931 team comprised the following: Ernie Legon, Coachg Doug. Fraser, Cap- tain, Harry Blarch, Vernon Armstrong, nugh Waddell, Ralph Clark, Art Rey- nolds, Jack Richardson, Gordon Young, Oscar Sloane, Jack Gardiner, Frank Jop- ling. Albion Lord, Dick Green, Jack Llayton, Walter Dinesen,iWhitty Thirn- beck, Jack Kirkwood and Grant Brecken- ridge. In passing we wish to say tl1at the football teams from the regular Secondary Schools of the province play under a great handicap when they meet teams from residential schools whose playe1's come from all parts of the province. LABOR OMNIA VINCIT This year Norma Hughes will be a member of the graduating class. By tenacity of purpose and hard work she has achieved a record unsurpassed in the annals of our school. Miss Hughes entered the P.C. S: V.S. in September, 1931. ln her first year examinations her average was 92722 second year. 8972: third year, 90725 fourth year, 7.572 and so far in her fifth year, SQW. Her Latin ex- amination marks for the tive years may be of interest to the members of the Middle School Special Latin Class. They were as follows: 100, 98, 100, 100, 95, 99, 91, 90, SQ, 90 and 89. Needless to say she won every local scholarship for which she was eligible. In addition to her studies Bliss Hughes has found time to do some coaching in Latin and French and her pupils have all been successful. She has always taken a keen interest in the extra- curricular activities of the school. No
