I I 18 Elie 'Echoes pupil has shown more esprit de corps. For five years she has never been absent even for a day. Bliss Hughes' case strengthens one's belief in the law of coni- pensation. As far as she is concerned physical darkness has had its compensation in mental illumination. The staff and pupils are all proud of her record and wish her continued sueeess in whatever line of work she may undertake. FIELD DAY The marked revival of interest, in track and field events shown in 1934 was again evident last year. The Weather Man was on his best behaviour. The various athletic events were keenly contested and an en- joyable time was spent by one and all. Mr. Craig' and his helpers are to be con- gratulated on the success ol' their organiz- ing etlorts. The Senior Champions were Muriel MacMillan and Robert tl'olyl Strickland. H IM NIENCEBIENT EXElN'lSE'-1 The annual f'omniencenient Exercises were held as usual on the first Friday afternoon in December. The guest. speak- er was the Rev. C. D. Daniel, of llark Street l'nited Church. who delivered a fine address to the graduating class. The Head Girl was Bliss .-Xliee Darling and the Head Boy was Gordon .lohnston. .Xt the conclusion of the progrannne the staff and the Graduating Class were .tt Home to the parents of the pupils and a very pleasant social hour was spent. The dance of the Graduating Class was even better than that of 1934-. ln other words it was the very best in the history of the school. OPERETTA This year the Students' Council have thought it wise to put on an Operetta in- stead of a play or concert. Both teachers and pupils have shown great interest in this IICXV venture and we confidently ex- pect that it will be a. wonderful success, THE AT HOME The annual At Home was held on Friday, December 27th. and was as usual the social high light of the season. itlr. Davies, head of the Draughting Depart- ment. in the Vocational School, was the organizer-in-chief and he is to be thanked and congratulated on the success of his laborious ettorts. The decorating commit- tee under the able direction of bliss lil. Aloutgomery had transformed the gym- nasium into a fairy land and their artistic success was the subject of much tavor- able comment. The Social Committee under the chairmanship of Dir. E. Legon arranged for the well-organized serving of dainty relreslnnents. The music which was supplied by a local orchestra u11der the leadership of Percy Atkinson satisfied even the most critical devotee of the Terpsichorean Art. Congratulations are due to all who in any way were responsible for the At Homes' success. MIINWEPT. UNHONOURED AND UNSUNGU How easy and natural it is to take things for granted! lve are apt to over- look the fact. that Mr. Weames and the members of the orchestra spend many after-school hours in practice. Otherwise the music of our orcl1est1'a would not be, as it is. so much appreciated by music lovers. The Collegiate Echoes, too, re- quires the expenditure of much time and effort. Blr. Henry. the business manager- in-chief. continues to render invaluable services in the publishing of the Echoes. Thanks are also due to the editorial staff and to all others who in any way have helped in the publication of our annual school magazine. H. R. H. KENNER. +++ gl-4 A of ,js 7- v - lv pf, l, Y,.f

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
