This year our form is made up, for the most part, of members of the fair sex. Time never hangs heavy for there is always some amusing incident to take the minds of the diligent pupils off their work. Our reputation for being winners in sports is upheld by Peggy Lawless, who has been a field-day champion for the past three years and also by the Girls' Yollevball Team who won the Senior Pennant this year. C'011z11ze1'cz'af Mr. Shearer, our form teacher, is very fond of making witty remarks about the pupils, especially Don. Chamberlain, who hails from Bridgenorth. He has also promised us a dancing exhibition, to be put on in the typing room by those spirits of rhythm, Dot Pearson and Gord Courneya. Bink Shadgett seems to be going around in a daze most of the time, probably thinking about the do:tor's son. Eh, Bink! Otto Mackey is the tiny fellow of the class this year, but don't worry, folks, he does all right by himself when it comes to talking to the girls in the hall. I'm afraid Miss Park doesn't consider us very brilliant students in Literature, but at making noise we do too well. I think the real dihiculty is the creaking of the seats. XVell, I guess that takes enough valuable space of the IZCIIOFS for this year. Axoxynoes FOl'77Z IIA . BAKER, E. Baldry, H. Batterson, I. Batterson, E. Battle, E. Beatty, M. Berwick, E. Butler, A.

We stroll along and are met by Captain Jim Clancy who directs us to the dining saloon. As we near the saloon there is a crash of dishes. A door opens and out run Anna McLean, Ethel O'T0ole, Mary Pepe, Maureen Perdue and Audrey Rose. In the doorway we see Harold Moore, the cook, standing. I'm sorry, Captain Jim, he says, but these girls are always taking the pies I bake. At one end of the dining saloon we see a full orchestra, John Fife, Wallace Agnew, Ervine Fraser and James Buchan are all beating one bass drum. Helen Sim- mons, Clare Saunders, Marion Lyons and Dave Chamberlain are all playing trombones, And there is Roy Fairbairn peeking from behind that base violin. Two waiters usher ns to our table. They are Bob Doris and Carl Guerin. Now enters First Mate J. Jopling, B. A. A. representative. Carrying his Junior Field Day Championship is Ken Handbidge. Through an open door we see Adelle Morrow with a bottle of Orange Extract. H. Eph- grave, G. Dundas and J. Crough get seasick and are taken away by Nurses Barbara Meilceljohn, Dorothy Mitchell and Jean Pearson. After dinner, much is added to our enjoyment by a tapadance, which included Phyliss McClennan, Irene Niles, Mary Moore, Ruth Morden, Audrey Murray, G. A. A, representative, Mary O'Brien, Merion Peters and Viola Price. They are led by those able dancers, J. Belfry, G. Allen, and K. Bolam with his clarinet. Then we see a movie star- ring Evelyn Ranger and Harold Campbell, and assisted by such such artists as Misses Velleta Richardson and Barbara Millar, The picture was entitled, Love in Bloom. That's all I'll say about our trip, but come again next year and maybe we'll visit China. G, EAs'roN ff? f. 9 8 e w aka , H :IX wg.

One day we decided to go on a hike to Hazel Telford's farm. After an early break- fast we started on our long and perilous journey out the Lakefveld Highway. Making our way cautiously along the road we spied Eleanore Morrison in a near-by field hilling potatoes while singing, I'm sitting on a hill-top. Coming along in a horse and buggy were Isobel Thorne and Doris Sayer, taking their farm produce to the city of Peter- borough. They were dressed in bright ging- ham dresses which they had made in H. A. II at P. C. Y. S. Slowly trudging along and thumbing our way we saw a bright shinv baby Austin coming along the road. As it neared us we noticed that Orma Lacheur was at the wheel. Being very hospitable, Orma asked us to hop on the car, as she was going to pass through Lakelield. By the time we were settled and ready to start, the baby Austin looked as if it had been in a wreck. Slowly making our way along the highway, wevreached Nassau, that great railway and industrial metropolis. We .stopped here a while and obtained refreshments at the rail- way depot. Gladys Brock and Eunice Armstrong were serving the customers bits of tasty morsels, which only these girls could cook. The recipes are the personal property of these two girls and have never been entered on a piece of paper and the results can be seen if any day you look at the bridge and see human beings hanging over it ready to drop themselves in the canal. ln another corner of the depot, Betty Whaley and Lenore Tinker were busily making tablecloths and tea-towels for the lunchroom. Arriving at Lakefield we saw Mary Alexander, Beryl Johnston, lllarjorie Plumpton and Dorothy Pringle all on one corner selling tags. Curious to know what the proceeds were going to be used for we asked Mary. We learned the proceeds were to be used to educate under- privileged alld backward elephants in Africa. XVe were glad to learn that Muriel Mac- Keague, our fair damsel, was mayoress. When we arrived at Telford's farm we were footsore and weary. H. A. II signing off till next year.

I 100 THE ECHOES was out of line he replied that the teacher was mistaken, that he was the only one in line. A newcomer in our class is VVINSTON SMITH who just arrived from New Brunswick. What with breaking cutting tools and other things, several of the boys, including HERB BROMLEY, have been experiencing quite an exciting time in machine shop. Tuesday in I I .E UESDAY morning in the Composition class, we are given the period in which to use our imagination in composing some- thing to represent the Industrial Department in The Echoes. At 9:50 A.M. we amble down to Mr. Davies' room to draw circles and lines to the tunc of the leaking tap. Pete Morley fthe class vocalistb becomes jealous of the tap's singing qualities and tries to push it over, thus taking a piece of flesh out of his hand. Next, we go to Mr. Corniel for Science. Here, Mr. Corniel has his annual singing period and, after his voice passes through several mysterious objects, we see it BOB FRANCIS was full of information in Blachine Shop several days ago as a result of reading the free booklet which he received. IXIr. Davies was heard uttering dire threats against any boy who forced him to compose a June Exam. in Shop Mathematics. It is not to be imagined that anyone will do this purposely. Industrial Arty flashing around the wall of the darkened room. Then home for dinner. After dinner we assemble in the gym. for 40 minutes of bending and stretching under Mr. Bamforth's watchful eye and cane. Somehow we manage to struggle through this and go upstairs again for Spelling. VVith Mr. VV. Brown in the Machine Shop, we can turn a common-looking piece of steel into fantastical shapes simply by pulling levers and turning wheels. Then with Mr. C. S. Browne for Mathematics, we finish a delightful day OJ. ALEX ELLIS Forms IA and IB Industrial Arty YLE GLOYER has joined the Boys' Glee Club.

Sands broke his wrist while playing hockey in January. By reports, it was a thrilling game. Ted Freeman spent a few days in Toronto attending the Motor Show. Now he tells of being fascinated by the display of Chrysler Products. We are inclined to believe that Ted was admiring a member of the fairer sex instead of Chrysler Products. Ronald Burgess gives nightly skating les- sons on the canal. Blondes are preferred. Don Douglas and George Charlton while in Toronto attended the rugby finals.

Here and there on the broad bosom of the St. Lawrence Gulf are great ocean vessels, which look like toys. It is imperative to change into low gear in order to descend, as otherwise the brakes would be hopelessly ruined. There are the endless mountains and ocean for almost nine hundred miles. Down in valleys tiny Villages tell of the small THE EcHoEs communities of fishermen and as we approach we sniff the irritating odour of drying cod. Presently we begin to ascend an- other mountain until it seems as if we were going to ascend into eternity, and then we see below the world- famous village of Perce. VVe view with wonder the mighty rock and the bird sanctuary on Bonaventure island, thousands of feet below. Then we descend to this beautiful and picturesque village. VV e bathe in the ocean and are almost frozen, but we love it. As evening approaches We see the most magnificent sunset imagina- ble. The flaming orb slowly and in grandeur sinks down behind the ma- jestic mountains, casting its brilliant red rays on the colossal rock which then takes on the appearance of a great Wall inset with billions of rubies, with an arch at the foot through which one might pass into an enchanted world. Alas! The greatest part of our trip has now ended. In the morning we shall turn south-West and homeward. BILL TDAVIDSON, IHA Acad. l 1 - K K .. ,.

There are knights in the present, and let us hope there will be more in the future, in the shape of the Guides and Scouts who battle bravely to keep their law and promise every day by helping others. The Guide and Scout Law stands for the knights Vow, their belts represent his belt, their flag his standard, and their badge his crest. If you read some of the stories of Arthur's knights you will tind their Vow in the front of the book. This Yow is almost word for word the Guide and Scout Law.

F. J. A. BTORRIS. M.A. Last June, lNfIr. Morris resigned his position as Head of the English Depart- ment in the Academic School. He joined the staff in 1913 and for 23 years rendered excellent service. He will be greatly missed alike by his former colleagues and by his pupils. Mr. Morris was, indeed, a great lover of English, a distinguished author, a well-beloved teacher and a cultured gentleman. The staff, in saying good-bye, wish him and his good wife many a year in which to enjoy a well-earned holiday. Miss PEARL FAINT, M.A. XVhen school reopened in September last another well-known teacher was missing from the ranks. Bliss Faint, owing to continued ill-health, sent in her resignation as Head of the department of French and German. This position she had held for 18 years, having returned to her Alma lNIater as teacher in the year 1918. . Those whose good fortune it was to spend any part of their student days in her classes will always remember her skill as a teacher, her great interest in their studies, and her outstanding loyalty to the school. MR. E. F. LEGON, B.A. Another absentee in September was Mr. Legon, the Princeps Alumnus of his year. He joined the staff of his Alma lXIater in 1928. Although without teaching experience he was made Head of the Classics department and justified the confidence placed in him by administering that department with marked success. He resigned in June last to accept a similar position in the Lisgar Collegiate Institute, Ottawa, at an advance in salary. Mr. Legon was much interested in sports and rendered valuable aid as Coach. His oneatime colleagues and pupils wish him every success in his new position. Miss EDITH BIURPHY, B.A. Miss Murphy joined the staff in 1921 as Director of English in the Commercial Department of the school. After 15 years of excellent service in this position, she was promoted in June last to succeed Mr. Morris as Head of the English department, in the .Academic School. 'We have every confidence in Miss Murphys ability as a teacher to justify her appointment as Director of this most important department of school work. Miss HELEN HICGREGOR, B.A. XVe welcome to our staff, as successor to Mr. Legon, Miss Helen McGregor, B.A., a specialist in Greek and Latin. She has had ten years' experience as a teacher of the Classics and Ancient History. Miss McGregor has made an auspicious start, and we feel assured that she will prove herself to be a valuable addition to the staff. Miss TYIARGARET WHITE, B.A. Miss VVhite was engaged by the Board to act as substitute teacher for Miss Faint during the time that the latter was absent on sick leave. Miss White, who is a specialist in both French and German, gave such general satisfaction that on the resignation of Miss Faint in june last she was permanently ap- pointed Head of the French and German department. 10 THE EcHoEs Miss LEONORA PARK, B.A. Miss Park, who is an Alumna of the P. C. I., was engaged by the Board to succeed Miss Murphy as Director of English in the Commercial department of the Vocational School. Miss Park is a specialist in both English and French and is an experienced teacher. W'e welcome her to our staff. Miss ALEXANDRIA Howson, M.A. Last September, Miss Howson resumed her duties as teacher or junior English in the Academic School. During Miss Howson's absence on account of sickness, Miss Mary Heasman acted as substitute teacher for her and gave satisfaction to all concerned. Miss Heasman is at present on the staff of the Chatham Collegiate Institute. Miss SYBEL KENDALL, B.A. Miss Kendall spent her Christmas holidays in Nicholls Hospital and remained there the first six weeks of this term. Mrs. Charles Ray, B.A., has taken her work at the school. The Board was fortunate, indeed, in securing her services. Mrs. Ray, ten years ago, was the Director of Household Science at P. C. I. She was then known as Miss Hazel Moffatt. Teachers and pupils unite in wishing Miss Kendall a speedy recovery. Miss AMELIA THoMPsoN, B.A. About the middle of February, Miss Thompson, on account of sickness, was obliged to give up teaching for a while. VVe were fortunate in securing the services of Mrs. S. -I. Graham, an experienced teacher of Commercial subjects, to act as substitute teacher for Miss Thompson. Sciolarybzlzb 5ZQjl'7Z7lE7'.l' Our greatest academic achievement during the past year was the winning by Ferguson Barr of the Edward Blake Scholarship in Latin and Greek at 'Toronto University. Ferguson is at present in attendance at the University, and we one and all congratulate him on his success. Foozbafl C 64171210 iomfzzlb Our greatest sporting success was the winning for the second time of the C. O. S. S. A. football championship. Coach Bamforth and his gallant band are to be congratulated on their success. The boys, by the way, are grateful to the Board for the financial help given them both this year and last for the purchase of uniforms and defensive armour. Tfze uf! Hoffze Our greatest social success was the Annual At Home held on Wednesday, Dec. 30th. As usual it was the social event of the season. Mr. Richardson, the senior staff member on the Students' Council, was mainly responsible for the success of the event. He was ably assisted by Miss Montgomery, convener of the Decoration Committeeg Mr. Pettit, convener of the Refreshments Committee, George Hall, president of the Students' Councilg Mr. Wesley Brown and Mr. John Rutherford, and by the members of the various committees. These are all deserving of praise for their united and well-organised efforts. H. R. H.

It has been our aim this year to place the magazine on sale at an earlier date than formerly and as a result some articles had to be curtailed or entirely omitted. We feel, however, that our efforts to produce a school year-bool-:A worthy of the precedents set in P. C. V. S. have not been in vain. VVe would urge all our readers to patronize the advertisers in Echoes, without whose assistance publi- cation would be impossible. J Corofzatzbfz Tear THE major event of this year is, of course, the Coronation, and although this is not a Coronation number we are making some recognition of the crowning of King George VI. and his Queen. Our cover is in the colours chosen as the ofhcial Coronation colours. VVe are fortunate, also, in that the prize drawing, which is our frontispiece, portrays the edifice which will have such prominence and importance in the ceremony of crowning our new King and Oueen. Volume XXIII WE miss Mr. F. J. A. Morris who for so many years was the guiding hand of the Echoes. In his place we welcome Miss Murphy who was formerly on the staff as Commercial supervisor. We also welcome to the Echoes Staff Miss McGregor, Miss Park, and Mr. Toole. The prize list for contributions to Purple Patches, which is sponsored by Miss Murphy this year, has been increased. Twelve prizes were awarded in the Academic School and twelve in the Vocational School. This resulted in a greater number of contributions, especially from the Lower School. The art prizes, given by Miss Montgomery, Director of Art, were awarded as follows: First prize illustration tsee frontispiecel - Edna Borland. Second prize illustration tsee page 605 - Ralph Johnston. First prize tailpiece Csee page 435 - Jean Johnston. First prize comic Csee page 1031 Y Donald Duncan. First prize linoleum Csee page 373 - Jean Johnston. First prize assortment Csee page 973 - Hugh Kenner. The Echoes Staff prize for headings was not awarded this year. And now we give you - Echoes - 1937. H. B. DAv1DsoN 16 THE Ecnoiss .flluszk in rfze School The success of the Operetta this year is very gratifying, not only because it ensures sufficient funds for the activities of next year's Students' Council, but in that it is developing a sphere of activity which has been sadly neglected - music. VVe sing, or claim we sing, in the morning assemblies, Mr. VVeams coaxes music out of the few instrumentalists who turn out for the Orchestra, and this vear glee clubs have been organized, but no definite move to teach music has been taken. If schools in other cities, not so large as ours, can and do produce choirs, a band, and a well-equipped orchestra, why can't we? XVe have the talent but no one to develop it or to provide instruments. Surely someone will come to the rescue of music in P. C. Y. S. cZtUz'fron eZYfo'Do1zaffz x Uz'rz'f On the afternoon of November 20, 1936, Mr. lYilson McDonald, one of the most gifted of Canadian poets, gave a recital of his poetry to a large and appreciative audience. His vibrant verse, which he read in a most entertaining fashion, was much enjoyed by the audience of student poetry-lovers. Proof that the love of poetry is very much alive in P. C. Y. S. was evinced by the fact that a large number of his books were purchased by the students. Among the poems which he read were the ever popular Song of the Ski and the amusing French dialogue poem 'Ioliat, which appealed especially to the boys. VVe .look forward to the pleasure of another visit from this eminent poet. H. D. .fefforf to the Fdzfor Dear Editor: Uniforms! The school is crying for them. Oh, for uniforms! We look at other girls of different schools and longingly wait for the time when we will be in garnet tunics with grey sashes and white blouses. Many people object to wearing the gymnasium outfit because it is too short. We do not need to have our uniforms above our knees but they would very smart just below the knees. There are many advantages in having a school uniform. It is neat, plain. and easily taken care of. It is made of good substantial material and less expensive than many dresses. Some girls come to school with expensive and gaudy clothes on, making the poorer girls feel very uncomfortable and out of place. A school uniform would always be the same irreproachable costume meant for girls of high schools and collegiates. H. S. To the Editor of The Echoes. Dear Sir: I have a problem to lay before you, dear sir, and one which, if solved, would be hailed by students the world over and gain instantaneous popularity for the master mind discovering its solution. In brief, sir, I refer to the abomination of all normal people, the scourge of a free mind in the bestowing of which all teachers have the greatest generosity, viz., homework. How often have I seen a minute first former staggering homewards beneath a pile of books rivalling that of Mr. Pettit's? tyes, how often???'J. Think of giving up those sweet hours of relaxation after a hard day's work UQ and missing seeing your little thought-of-the-moment on account of some vulgar fractions and common denominators. It's preposterous and I, as the echo of one thousand other brave P. C. V. S. hearts, demand its abolition by organizing a Homework Club. THE Ecnoizs 17 There are, in this worthy institution, a few people credited with average intelligence Cno, I am not referring to teachersl who have the pleasant faculty of always doing their homework. Not being a member of these ranks but belonging to those in the Crib Age, I have great trouble every morning in borrowing such peoples books and diligently copying their contents. However, there are some who are not endowed with twenty-two spares a week and Trigonometry classes and are therefore forced to do their own work. A Home- work Club, besides relieving the mentally distressed, would benefit such people as these. Its organization would include: C13 A Homework Bureau. Any member not Wishing to do his homework for various reasons need only hand in his books and an efficient typewriting staff will copy the night's work from Peter Demos or other reliable sources. C25 A Lending Library. Any member arriving late or forgetting his books has only to ask for the desired text which will be lent on daily terms. This will eliminate all worijv from regular borrowers. , N. B.: An extra stock of Latin books will be on hand to guard against Miss McGregor's needs. l3l A Small Membership Fee. , This will cover costs of services of scholarship winners, typing and man- aging staff and first-class forgers. All you have to do to join this club is to sign your name on the lid of the stove and mail in your nearest ash-can. Acknowledging your thanks in advance, I am, Sincerely yours, G. W1-Hz.

Those who attend the rugby dances will have noticed the great contrast between the embarrassed Lower School Students and those of the higher forms. The latter sail about easily and gracefully, while the former stumble about on some poor maiden's pedal extremities. I believe it would be a great help if one or two P. T. periods were devoted to the teaching of this very necessary accomplishment with the teachers as instructors. The forms could also take turns having weekly dances throughout the school year. Now, dear editor, after perusing this pitiful tale of woe and the remedy, I ask you, are you not moved to compassion? And last, but by no means least, I suggest a bit of action on the part of our renowned Students' Council. Yours till the floor wears out, A LowER FoRm1ER. Dear Editor: Vlfell, it sure has been a funny winter, and I've seen quite a few around this institute Cfor the exact number I refer you to Mr. Pettitl, but this 'un beats all. Speaking of the weather, I told my friend, joe 'fBurp Gemmell, that I would put on his tombstone, Gone with the wind, with special permission, I hope. Well, this year's rugby team sure deserves an orchid for its work. Speaking of rugby, the doctor told Kelly, because he's had water-on-the-knee so often, that he was going to attach a tap to that part of his pulchritudinous anatomy. Speaking of nothing in particular and Dawson in general, my good friend Alf told me that a cowboy from the States visited England in the time of Shakespeare and upon meeting Shakespeare he said, Howdy, Bard - this pun may be one of the reasons why Dawson has been disporting a discoloured orb of late. This is not a whining letter, in fact I won't even complain about draughty corridors. Speaking of draughts, Ken Hunt asked john Patterson why he didn't try sugar to coax his pants down to get acquainted with his shoes. Patterson replied that his pants aren't scared, they're 'fraid tfrayed ! get it ?J. As the Polar Bear which was sitting on a block of ice said, So say I. Yours for the best Echoes yet, G. GUNsoLUs. P.S.: That Polar Bear said Cquote, My tail is told tunquotel. Dear Editor: What about the school athletics and all the clubs? Is everyone for them, with them, in them? No. Why not? Because there isn't enough school spirit. XVell, what is school spirit? School spirit, my friends, is a feeling that some of the pupils have when any school activity is announced. They cheer the school, and help themselves to a good time. Imagine our rugby score if all the school were there at the game, cheering, yelling, shouting for the team. THE Ecnons 19 Now don't get the wrong impression. just going to a game and cheering till you are hoarse doesn't necessarily mean school spirit. If that isn't your line go to the Glee Club, or Camera Club. If you are a Rubinoff or a Tsehai- kowski, join the orchestra. For those with acting ability try dramatics, operettas or literaries. Perhaps you are a born business managerg then you should be connected with the school magazine. Sports aren't the only thing in which you can uphold your school. Someone really enthusiastic about other hobbies might startanew organization - not that we really need it. Those we have should be more fully developed first. Yours for more school spirit, M. VV. Unified Empire These are the men who made Canada great, These are the men who dared, ' These are the men who risked all to make A home for those Who cared: Whether the flag that Flew from their roof YVas the Stars and Stripes or the jack, These, rather than forfeit th' enviable right Of being called British, would track Through the virgin bush to this land of ours, A land yet to clear and to tameg And coming thus to the land of the Leaf, They founded our nation's fame. CATHARINE WHITE, IC Commercial 20 THE EcHoEs H 0110 fumble Jlffezzfzblz 79rz'7zc'ep.v Uflzmznzzl THIS year the recipient of Dr. Kenner's much coveted prize is Charles Edward Allan Cragg. Edward was voted by Dr. Kenner, the teachers and the pupils of the Upper School, as the best all-round boy and the most deserving of the title, Princeps Alumnus. Ted, as he is known by all, has a truly enviable record. His scholastic ability is of the best. In thirteen of his fourteen middle school subjects he has taken honours.- For four years Ted has played rugby and this year he is a member of the junior Basketball Team. His ability as an athlete and as a clean sport has made him esteemed in the hearts of his fellow-pupils. A winning personality has added greatly to his popularity. P. C. V. S. is proud of you, Edward, and we offer you our heartiest con- gratulations. J. P. LPFZIIICEPX Qxflzzmmz THIS year we all join heartily in congratulating Margaret Lundy, who won the much-coveted honour of being named Princeps Alumna. Mar- garet is Well-known and popular throughout the school. She is a keen member of the basketball team, and a thorough good sport, not only in athletics but in all she has to do. She has shown herself most capable in the many tasks about the school that fall to the older girls. She stands Well up in her scholastic work. May your success and popularity continue, Marg, through the coming years.-M. M. THE Ecggsg5 Vf ?m 3 so QS! MORROXY SCHOLAHSHIPS: COMMERCIAL STUDENTS BACK RUXV: M Byerg. M Henry. F Neury, M Duncan, M.

HllR'XCl'1. Ur' .1rl. Pf-flllfa T116 Hzmf 'Twas morn on dewy turf and misty hills, O'er which the sun had ris'n an hour past. On knolls commanding aspect of the chase, Stood groups of Tipperary folk, close massed. From distant hills rang back the tally-ho, And o'er a summits verdure broke a pack Of baying hounds, scarce heeding where they went, Pelting, panting, on a fox's track. Behind the hounds two riders galloped up, Vaulted a hedge, digging their stirrups in, Then drew their reins and turned about to urge The others on, by upward toss of chin. A mass of gay-frocked riders, active dames, As if by magic summoned by this sign, Came hurtling madly down a slight slopes side. Red coat-tails blending with their horses' shine. And in the glen below a fierce clamour Of bellowing hounds arose, and with the sound A fainter, whimpering, hopeless cry was heard f The dogs have run the fox at last to ground! Then onward, hunters, onward to your fame, Who dips his hand first in that fox's gore His spurs has won, and henceforth will he ride Among the ranks of masters evermore. And yet this fox, this pawn of human ploy, Feels fear and pain, and Values life as they, Suffers to satisfy their supporting whims, And lies now, victim of this fatal day. ALICIA LANGLEY, V A Academic 26 THE EcHoEs The Birth Qf FIRST PRIZE, SLOW LY, disconsolately, the spare, almost gaunt, figure of an old shabby man mounted the creaking steps 'to an upper garret, furnished solely with an ancient arm-chair and a piano. The musicians pale, intel- lectual face was furrowed by a series of spasmodic twitchings that told of the tumult of music within his soul. VVhy must he suffer thus? For what reason must he endure the torturing inability to express the music crashing and echoing within him? His slight body was convulsed with a racking sob cut from his innermost being. It was not the sob of a weak man, beaten, but that of a strong man at the point of desperation. lVhat could he do? Thoughts of suicide flick- ered through his brain, but, with the strength of one who regarded his life as a talent given him by God, he cast them aside. Like insidious demons they returned. lYould it not be for the best? Who was there to miss him? lVho to mourn? VVhat would there be but a desultory examination and a verdict of suicide 4 motive unknown? Entering his garret through a door- less doorway, he Hung himself into his old armchair carrying scars from a life as barren and ill-used as his own. The sounds of the city surrounded and en- closed himg the crashings, the murmur- ings, the screams of the streets creep- ing up in the night air. Oh! for quiet! The peace of a lonely country-side, where his soul could find expression in immortal music. The wordsi t'Out of suffering comes inspiration vibrated in his brain. But this was more than suffering. This was torture, mental, bodily, reaching his very being with its in- tensity. Suddenly, exhaustion took control of his tired body and he re- laxed into a stupor from which he aroused later with perspiration on his brow. Again the sounds of the city zz Ma5ierp1'ece UPPER SCHOOL bore in on him with an intensity that made his brain a whirling eauldi on of spinning thoughts. For hours he sat thus, in the dark, his intellect slowly responding to the suggestions of sui- cide which persistently pierced his weakened mind. His will-power gone, he arose f a mere automaton respond- ing to the hypnotism of self-suggestion. Slowly he turned toward the door and moved forward! Then he stopped! lVas that a cry he heard? No, it was a tiny sky-lark, singing sorrow up into immortal spheres. Suddenly the hyp- notic influence ceased! Turning like a flash, he sprang to the ancient piano and let his hands fall in one great solemn chord. Then the tumultuous chaos of music burst forth like a fire from his body. His hands, urged on and guided -by some spiritual agency, produced a great melody of sound, a symphony of the city. Hard and metallic, soft and yielding, unscrupulous and humane, all such moods were depicted in his vibrating, tremulous chords. The notes Howed forth in a very ecstasy of sound. The great bass throbbed and thunderedg the soft diminuendos added a remote intimation of the joys and, somehow, sweet sorrows behind the accompany- ing thunder. Yet through it all was a single melody, the melody of life, ebb- ing back and forth in inspired notes, carrying the theme of the symphony on to its end. Slowly the musicians face softened, taking on an almost ethereal glow. His body relaxed as the pent-up force of his soul dissolved. The tempo grew softer and slower. Suddenly, with a gust of energy, the music flared into a mad burst of flame, only to die away and be stilled. The mans frame, suddenly old, sank forward over the keys he loved. Vlfith the death of a master, came the birth of a masterpiece. HORACE STEER, VB Acad. THE EcHoEs 27 The Duel 0U'l'SIDE Le Rouge Lion, the rain falls in a steady drizzle. Suddenly from the darkness down the road three men appear. In spite of the gloom of the night it is possible to see that they wear the red, white and blue cockades of revolutionary France. They come stealthily up to one of the partially shaded windows of the inn and stand grouped in front of it, speaking occasionally in hoarse undertones. Inside the inn two noblemen, Alex- andre de Nemours and Dupont dl-Xlembert, sit discussing their plans for the next day. They are fugitives from the Terror. VVell, mon ami, says Nemours to his companion, 'Ato-morrow we will reach the coast unless the Jacobins lie in wait for us at Caenf' Do not lose hope, H1011 brave, replies d'Alembert, I believe that we lost them at Orleans, where we tricked them into thinking that -W On guard, interrupted Nemours, someone is watching at the east window! In the meantime, outside the win- dow, tension is growing. How shall we attack? asks Car- rier, of the leader, Citoyen Greuze. We cannot enter boldly and engage them hand to hand for they are very adept with the rapier and are not lacking in skill with the pistol. W'e shall wait for an opportunity to trick them, snaps Greuze, whose temper is on edge after tramping all night through the rain. Look, rasps Lebas, the third conspirator, the aristocrats are quar- relingl Indeed, from inside the inn, come sounds of heated argument. Finally, the conspirators heard d'Alembert chal- lenge Nemours to a duel. The two draw their pistols and fire simultane- ously. Both fall to the floor, remain motionless, and for several moments the conspirators look at each other, speechless with amazement. Look, gasps Carrier, they have shot each other, neither of them moves. L'Let us return to Orleans at once, says Greuze excitedly, and report to Citoyen Marat that we have killed both of the accursed aristocrats. He should reward us Well. Two days later, two men stand on the deck of the schooner Cloud, bound for England from the port near Caen. Thanks to you We have escaped, says one whose name is Nemours, but we were almost food for lXfIadame Guillotinef' It was a simple plan, replies d'Alembert, I counted on the coward- ice of those rogues to delay them long enough to allow us to put on our little duel.

He carried it about with him And spread it far atieldg .Athenian archons over it XYith laughter fairly squealed. Still farther west it travelled, till It came to Cicero. They say that he was too refined, And thought it rather low. A Roman legionary in The latest Gallic war With joy incorporated it Within his repertoire.

R556 HE AGENTLE breeze fanned the new green meadows in the distance and swept up the river. It was pleasant to sit there, my back against the bole of a great tree, and to sketch the beautiful landscape which unrolled before me. A few fieecy white clouds drifted lazily across a sky of deep blue. Above me and to my right, earth and sky met rather more abruptly, it seemed, along the top of the high bank strewn with boulders. From behind one of these rocks, even as I looked, a small form came into view peering this way and that. It seemed strange to me that in this place, which was almost a wilderness, a baby should be Wandering alone. I felt, therefore. that his mother was not far off for the baby was not any more than old enough to get around by himself. He seemed to be on an exploring expedition, for he toddled along the top of the bank inspecting the ground and turning over rocks in what seemed a most interested fashion. Then he slowly began to work his way down the bank, not seeming to notice me. Suddenly he stepped on a loose stone which slid out from under him, taking his feet with it. He rolled over and over down the bank and shot out into the black rushing waters. I jumped up and was about to dash to the rescue when the baby's mother, whom I had suspected to be near by, rushed panic-stricken over the hill and down the bank. NVithout a sound or a moment's hesitation she dived into the cold waters and struck out strongly for her baby, who had by this time THE EcHoEs been caught in branches which hung over the river. The mother soon reached the spot, but seemed unable to get at the tiny creature which was entangled amongst the branches. Finally, with super- human strength, she tore the branches away and grasped her baby. She struck out for the bank and tried to scramble up, but it proved steep. Then, still carrying her precious burden, she made for a place where the bank was not as steep. I stood rooted to the spot, watching this battle against death. 29 Finally the mother reached her ob- jective, half swimming, half carried by the current. She climbed out and placed her olfspring on the grass. Then instead of fondling her baby, just snatched from the jaws of death, she delivered one good cuff which sent him rolling along the grass, and turned away. To a human being this was an heroic self-sacrificing rescue, but to the mother bear and her cub it was just another incident in a normal day, FRED HooPER, VB Acad. 1716171-g7Zdl'1.07l FIRST PRIZE UPPER SCHOOL You held it in your hand, the dying dove.

HILDA THoMPsoN, VA Academic 30 THE EcHoEs My Library FIRST PRIZE, JUNIOR INIIDDLE SCHOOL 0NE Christmas I was presented with three little books. I had just learned to read, and these were the first books I had ever had all my own. VVith horror I followed the terrifying adventures of the Little Red Hen, spelling out the words with my linger. St. Nicholas had no more fervent admirer than I, as I visualized him dropping down the sooty chimney: and with tender compassion I read that great Christmas story of long. long, ago -the first Christmas. The 'iLittle Red Hen died of pure love. I regret to say I read it too much, and its disintegrated parts found their way to the dust-bin. The other two little volumes set out on the long trail to the west - the mission- aries wanted books. But my library did not stop there. Its growth has been slow but steady. I progressed through Peter Rabbit and Uncle XViggily and such childish woodlore, then the more reasonable works of Charles G. D. Roberts, and, finally, my endeavours in anthropology had their birth in the multitudinous pages of lVells' Ufflutline of History. I had, perforce, to seek new fields. Soon Alcott's books appeared on the shelf - 'tLittle Women and Little Men. Tom Brown's School Days will always occupy an honoured place on my shelves. The volumes of my childhood end with Crawfords Little City of Hope. I began, at last, to read in earnest. At a comparatively late date, Steven- son s Kidnapped and Treasure Island took their place on my shelves. I remember I could not at first under- stand whether the Fifteen men on a dead man's chest were sitting on a box, or acting as a sort of poultice to the deceased. At a later date, light began to show. Distinguished authors soon began to shine on the shelves. Scott, Dickens, Shakespeare, Gatier, Stratton-Porter, Ebers, Beaconsfield, Scott, Connor, and Yerne-all the great Honour Roll of authors Whose books will be read forever, and forever admired- I have, and love them all. Few people can realize what travel- ling I have done, and in what company. I have lain on the wet Highland moors with David Balfour, as Stevenson himself must have done. I have rid- den by the side of the Prince of Orange to fight the Spaniard, though I doubt if Ebers knew it. With T ancred, Beacons- field and I have made our pilgrimage over the burning plains of the East, and I sat with Bob Cratchett, warming my hands over the selfsame candle. I know what the inside of a debtor's prison looks like, and with Scott's julian Peveril have I lain in a dungeon in the Tower of London. I have fought the beasts in the arena at Romeg and with the Thracian Spartacus have I fought, sword in hand, through the mountains of Italy. But another library I possess - the library of memory. I know not how many volumes are in that great libra- ry' of books I have read but do not own, but I know and love them all. I can read them any time, for they need not be carried with me. It is my great library, and it can never be taken from me. My library! What meaning the word possesses. It is not merely morocco covers and printed pages, it is love, honour, truth, justice, history - all the knowledge of the past, and it is all mine. Certainly the greatest gift of a Divine Creator to his greatest creation was the gift of writing and reading, and the mind to understand. May it never be lost, for it holds, forever, the key to every door. BARRIE JACK, III A Acad. THE Ecnoas 31 A R51 THE setting for this reverie is that part of the historic Bay of Quinte at Picton, Ontario. NVhitechapel is one of the first Methodist Churches in Canada-built in the year l809f and stands today in its quaint church- yard on the wind-swept hill overlook- 'erff ing the beautiful bay. It was around this little church that much of the life of the staunch United Empire Loyal- ists centred, and the graves of many, including those of my own grand- parents, still nestle in its sacred old burying ground. The wind, where sway the rain-drenched lilacs now, Is that the wind from out the bay's far gleam? Or alien gale that stirs a squall and whines To mock away my dream? Has Maytime loosed the slumbering cascade yet, Until it surges with a boisterous rush? Or is it last springs melodies that haunt My soul's sad hush? I hear forefathers raise their lusty hymns, VVithin NVhitechapel where they sang of oldg - I see their grax es deep hid beneath tall grass - O hearts so nobly bold! Still holds the steep shoreline its turbid cove Where black snakes poke their heads, then slip below? Do dormant clams and shells begem the beach As just a year ago? At sundown floats the bay upon its breast A ship with low sails anchored 'gainst the tide? Do eerie screeches sound and far resound Adown the other side? Oh! Give me two strong wings that like the gull I might sweep o'er the bay and up the hillg For what was dear and sweet all yesteryear Is dearest, sweetest still. JEAN WARREN PLATT, IV B Acad. 32 A Visit to the Royal MZ.71l THIRD PRIZE LET us all take a trip to The Royal Mint, situated in the beautiful city of Ottawa, the capital of our fair Dominion. On account of the great treasure contained within these gates it will be necessary for each of us to secure a pass. We see a police- man standing outside and several guards inside, one of these unlocks the great gate, permitting us to enter the yard, and relocks the gate after us. The guard leads the way across the yard to a door which he opens and allows us to enter a large room similar to a rotunda. In the centre of this room is placed a desk upon which is a large register in which each of us will put his name and address before proceeding onward. The guard opens another very heavy door and beckons us to enter another room, after which he securely locks the door after us. Here we notice a number of workmen employed in melting nickel from large blocks, till it runs like water. It runs into moulds and when cool enough is put through rollers which flatten it out into strips about two and a half inches wide. These strips are then put through stamping machines which punch holes in them the same size as our nickels. The parts which are punched are put into another machine which puts a rim around each edge. These nickels are then put through a number of machines till, at last, after being stamped, we see a Perfect Canadian Nickel, new and shining, weighed, counted and sent to the Government vaults to be stored until required by our banks. The system of weighing gold is very accurate. They do not weigh this money in large open rooms on account of the change in weight of the air. For this reason it is weighed in a small room, not more than eight feel square, made of glass. GRMA LACHEUR, H H. Arts THE EcHoEs English Schools THIRD PRIZE I ONCE spent three months in an English council school and found it very interesting. The school I attended was Walker-Gate School, situated on Walker-Gate Road, Newcastle-on Tyne, not far from a railway depot. This railway brought many other students to the school. The school is a long, two-storey structure. The first floor contains all the rooms for the boys. and the top floor those for the girls. As there is no communication between the two floors it is essential to have two assembly halls. As I was never on the top floor I know nothing about it. All my knowledge of English schools was learned from the bottom floor. The assembly hall contains no seats, which means that while not standing one must sit on the floor. The seats of the students are all double, giving them plenty of opportunities to talk. The teacher is seated on a high stool so that she may look over the whole class. The grounds around this building are very small, with a stone floor. They are enclosed with large iron spikes, the only entrance or exit being the huge iron gate which is locked when school is in session. The studies are similar to ours. Examinations are held every month, and are conducted by the principal, whom they call the 'tmasterf' On all examinations the maximum is fifty. After passing through the last class in a council school one is ready for a secondary school. All books in the council schools, with the exception of one, are provided free, although no fees are paid. These schools differ greatly from ours. Our teachers teach us to write on a slant, but there one is taught to write a perpendicular hand. Our 1' is written r. The seating plan is different also. Our classes are called junior II., Senior II., etc., while theirs are called standards, and range from one to seven. I.

The wavelets gurgle gently as they playfully seek entrance to the numerous cracks and crannies of the stone wall, or sigh plaintively when they find their meagre strength is not enough. Behind them are countless ranks eager to take their place and pit themselves against the old bulwarl-1. Out at the entrance to the harbour stands the blinking, one-eyed sentinel, veteran of many storms, proudly up- right as if fully aware of the important position he holds. Small sailboats rest at anchor, casting sharply defined shadows on the mirror-like lake. T115 Son!

Then the public arose and demanded accuracy in gems as well as in costume and customs, Simultaneously with this demand there appeared in Hollywood a slender Dane who had walked through all the capitals of Europe, studying the de- signing of jewelry, viewing the world's famous gems, and learning to make what we now know as period jewel- ry. His name is XYilly Peterson- Fagerstam, and he is descended from generations of jewelers in the Danish capital. From white and coloured glass he fashions gems of all kinds: from copper, pewter, German silver and brass, he works the platinum, gold and silver mountingsg and from glass, blown this as a sheet ot goldleaf, he forms pearls, covered with tishscale composition of all the shades of the sea treasures of Ceylon and the South Seas. He uses glass and glass only, to pro- duce replicas of the famous and com- mon jewels of the world. Virtually all of it, cast and ground with the proper faceting, comes from Czechoslo- vakia - Prague being the largest source. These countries produce a cast glass, uniform in colouring, with a very high factor of reflection such as can be had nowhere else in the world. This cast glass is used for diamonds texcept when wanted in large quanti- ties as for the cox ering of slippers, sandals and gowns, when rhinestones are called inl, for emerals, rubies, sapphires, topazes, amethysts, zircons - indeed for every solid stone. No paste or other composition stone is ever used. These casts are made in duplication of the originals from exact measurements and colour photographs. They mimic not only the size, shape, and colour, but reproduce every Haw possessed by the originals. Once cast, the imitation gems are ground by hand. There is no wholesale production of these stones. Almost as much atten- tion is given to each as the cutters of Amsterdam give to the genuine stones. Pearls for the motion pictures are blown in the thinnest of glass by the Workers of Central Europe. VVhen the pearl has cooled, it is covered with several coats of a varnish made from fishscales and coloured to the exact tint of the original. Laid side by side, except by weight, it would be extremely difficult to distinguish the original from the imitation. D. BARRINGER, IHF Ind.

Arts THE Ecnorss 37 The Cabin Fire FIRST PRIZE BEADS of perspiration were on the heads of my Cousin jack and me as we wearily climbed to the barn roof, from the infernal dust and heat that reigned within. We were dead tired from that still heat that had withered the pastures in the past month. For three weeks we had toiled by day at the harvest, and every evening we worked diligently, long hours after we should have been asleep, at that cabin on the lower slopes of that wooded valley, by Crooked Arrow Creek. The harvest was finished and for the next two weeks we would make our abode there. We climbed to the peak of the roof and glanced in the direction of the cabin, when the sight of smoke caused us to scamper from the roof, and to start at top speed for the cabin. Following the old beaten track, we topped a hillg the sun gleamed in our eyes, long shadows darkened the val- ley below: we emerged into denser forest. As we made a steep descent, we crossed a running brook with a bound, a quick turn, and in a small clearing stood the cabin. We had tried to imagine that smoke was something else, but no, the flames leaped from the window, every small crevice revealed one mass of fiameg smoke poured from every opening. I sprang to the door and flung it open, but was met by such a burning wave of heat and fiames that my quivering body was sent back - if I could only get the tool chest. I charged again, but had scarcely entered when a warning call from jack made me spring out in time to hear a deafen- ing roar. Although I clawed at my eyes to remove the stinging smoke and flames, I could see the roof as it crashed in- ward. We retreated farther, as the sparks flew into the air, and burning splints were hurled high. The walls quavered, an ear-splitting crackling was followed by a roar like thunder, the posts snapped off, andthe front wall fell outward. The angry flames leaped from it, the shower of sparks obscured our view as the other walls caved in and left a heap of burning debris. We returned home that night, with sunken hearts, every step jarred my body. The next day a neighbour told us of a man, an old man, unshaven, with cane in hand, who, the previous eve- ning, was headed in the direction of the cabin. For several days we cursed the wandering Vagabond, but when the ashes of the cabin had cooled, our curses were revoked when we discerned the skeleton of a human being. We came to the conclusion that this man of feeble frame met his death indomita- bly fighting the fierce blaze which overwhelmed him. A K. E. TURNBULL, IIF Ind.

Arts jf X V! f ,. ,ict I X- If 1 ' if - il THE EcHoEs 39 Girl Gu z'dlz'1z g FIRST PRIZE, ACAD. FIRST FORMS GUIDING is really just a wonderful game in which all the members are sisters, working and playing to- gether. The Brownies are our little sisters, and the Rangers and Leaders, bigger sisters. This idea comes first from the fourth law - A Guide is a Friend to all and a sister to every other Guide, and secondly from the fact that when we are all dressed alike, working towards the same end, play- ing the same games, and singing the same songs, it makes us feel closer together than we feel ordinarily. Guiding is not all work nor yet all play. They are blended together so tastefully that even the hardest work seems jolly. Some of our work is very hard and takes much time and study. However, when you realize that We can get badges for doing our work well, then you do not wonder that we go at it so zealously. After a Guide gets her Second Class Badge, she may try for some Profi- ciency Badges. There is no excuse for a girl who has progressed this far not earning at least five of these sixty-four badges. For those who excel at Music there are Singer's, Music Lover's, and Minstrel's Badges, for those who like housework, Cook's and Domestic Ser- vice Badgesg for those who sew, Need1ewoman's, Embroideress' and Decorative Needlecraft Badges, and so on. Almost every girl has a hobby, and badges can be easily won by the girl who develops her hobby or her natural talents. Some of the badges that can be won for hobbies are: Pho- tographer, Book Lover, Bird Lover, Friend to Animals, Flower Lover, Astronomer, Airwoman, Cyclist, Writ- er, Knitter, Hiker, Swimmer, Canoe- ist, Athlete, Horsewoman, Gardener, Dancer, Gymnast, Artist, Entertainer, and many more. No one need think that as soon as a girl wins a badge she forgets what she has learned. She is called upon to use her knowledge almost every day, at Guides, at home, at school or in case of an emergency. Girls who qualify for their Lifesaver, Ambu- lance, Sick Nurse and Child Nurse Badges are following their motto to Be Prepared. There are summer camps at which the Guides are taught many useful things about camping, pitching tents, cooking, hiking, building fires, swim- ming and boating. For a Guide who has been taught to observe things around her, there is no such thing as a dull hike. Did you never see a group of happy, care-free Guides or Scouts, with knapsacks over their shoulders and note-books in their pockets, set off on a hike, singing so whole-heartedly that you longed to join them? A There are Guide songs for every occasion-funny and happy songs, rounds, marching, hiking, camping, rally and patriotic songs and Guide hymns. As a Guide Smiles and Sings Under All DiHiculties, these songs are often in use. The Ranger Branch is for the more advanced Guides who wish to go on after the age of sixteen, and learn how to become good citizens, how to take care of homes, how to think and act quickly in emergencies, how to teach younger Guides and many other things. There are also Extension Guides. These are girls who are blind, deaf, crippled, mentally deficient or inva- lids. These handicapped girls some- times live in an institution, a hospital or a home. Often the captain is in the same condition as her companv. In such a company there must be one normal person to help the others. Lone Guides are those who live too far from an active company to attend their meetings. These do most of their work through correspondence with the Lone Captain. F No matter what branch of Guiding a girl belongs to, if she is reallv in earnest and works hard to do heribest she cannot help growing into a useful, healthy and able citizen of her countrv. Every girl who has the opportunity should become a Guide, and every boy Continuzd on pagr 133 The I1!6l7ldK7'E'7',S Song THIRD PRIZE ,If jfff Z 1, 'I X ,f Mx I L'N ,--wv- ' -,,,NW,,,.mw 'mn.. rm, ,hh- W,,,nfI vn-..l V ,ff f fi .Za-Q .- f ,W .

Not long ago I chanced upon a bit of X erse written many years ago by Omar Khayyam reading thus: ll'ak'e.' for the Suu wlzo xmtteftl into flight The Stars before hinz from the jield of Night DrzAz'es Night alone iufth them from Hetnfiz. As I read that bit of poetry many thoughts and scenes flashed on the screen of memory. Because of the very nature of the poem the scenes pro- duced in panoramic sequence were those of the outdoors. Next in these brief scenes I see the glories of the awakening dawn. One morning I had occasion to rise early and cross to the opposite shore. Not a sound was heard save the sweet and mellow sound of the water idly lapping on the pebbled beach, and the familiar 'tputt-putt of the outboard. Nature had rung down the curtain in the form of a mist. Yet, even then that delicate drape was lifted and the sun in regal splendour made its debut for the day. Yonder on the rock was poised ready for instant flight a long-legged, un- gainly yet graceful, heron, its image mirrored in the placid waters. Finally, in fancy I see the climax of the day - the setting of the sun. Yonder, from my vantage point here to the left I saw it set, leaving tatters of purple and gold behind it to mourn its passing. 'What words of mine can express the scenic beauty-splendid flocks of pinks and blues and delicate pearly greys like sheep being herded into the oncoming night? Directly in the west were heaped up masses of velvety purple and midnight blue clouds, rent here and there with ragged splashes of heavy gold. As the sun slowly sank to the horizon, paused as if for a long last breath, and then was gone from sight, I found myself reading this bit of appropriate verse: THE EcnoEs The sim declines 0'er land and sea: Creeps ou the llligllff The t-wiuklzhzg stars come one by one To shed their liglzt. My mind travels back to a little cottage which might best de described as a rude structure of logs and boards hewn from the forests nestling near by, a strong door, and five small windows with wooden shutters. The moon is peering over a huge rock on yonder hill, its silver beams woven into the finest gossamer as they filter through the branches of the stalwart pines. My eyes linger on the wide expanse of sky, the purple curtained mountains, the dark plumy woods, the river winding like a silver thread along the valley.

Com. - Sn Zig-1-177.71 SECOND PRIZE SNUG-L-INN is a tiny summer camp nestling in the trees and shrubs along a river bank. It is set back from the shore against a background of small, whispering pines. The shoreline is marked with snowy white rocks. worn smooth from the weather. During the day the sun glistens on the water, casting beautiful shadows on a velvety carpet of grass. A silver canoe drift- ing to and fro in the breeze gives one a feeling of everlasting peace. Behind the camp a tiny brook babbles over smooth pebbles, telling the story of its travels. It winds its way in and out until it is lost in a huge forest. In the evening the birds begin to fly to their nests in the forest. They come in Hocks, with a drowsy, hum- ming noise. At sunset the water becomes a vast, bottomless pool of colour. The trees cast weird shadows on the cabin and its surroundings. Night falls like a heavy velvet curtain, and complete silence reigns over one of natures most beautiful spots. FRANCES NEARY, IIA Com. THE ECI-1oEs 43 Exonerazfed FIRST PRIZE, ACAD. FIRST FORMS IT HAS been said of the amateur Photographer that he invariably takes the worst possible view of every- thing. George's parents probably in- clined to this opinion when their son and heir proudly exhibited his first attempts along that line. Certainly they made every effort to discourage his aspirations towards that expensive hobby, but to no avail. George filled the basement with mysterious bottles and boxes, locked himself in his temporary darkroom for protracted periods of time, left innumerable prints lying around the house, disposed of his pocket-money as fast as he received it, and spent all his spare time roam- ing the countryside with a second- hand Brownie. His parents, learned to treat all these activities with outward indifference. Accordingly, when one day George re- turned from a trip downtown carrying Several large and shapeless parcels, they took little notice. He had brought home similar bundles before, but he had never handled any so carefully as he did these. Our young photogra- pher carried his treasures to his room and locked himself in. Here he re- mained for the rest of the day. At Suppertime, George let slip a leading statement, and a few well- directed questions, from his parents, elicited the information that he was contriving, with the aid of several flash-bulbs, batteries and wire, a de- vice which, if a certain wire outside were stepped upon, would cause the bulbs to Hash and the camera to click. The net result of this would be a photograph of whoever had set off the device. George had completed the contrivance, and had left it set up before the window of his room, which was on the ground floor, when he was called to supper. George had for several days been engaged in such experiments, requir- ing much out-of-the-way apparatus, and had often been known to abstract household articles from their proper places without permission. Conse- quently, when his mother found a silver plate missing that night, she put two and two together, and pounced upon her son as the culprit. It did not occur to her to ask herself to what use George would put a silver plate, and she was furious when he denied the accusation. After a thorough cross-examination he was confined to the house while a Search was made, and having nothing better to do, retired to the room where he had left the camera. He examined the flash- bulbs, and to his dismay hefound that they had been set off. Someone had passed in front of the window - who could it have been but the thief! film from the George removed the camera and retired to his dark-room minutes later to develop it. Fifteen his father was aroused by a shout of at the top of triumph. He was met the stairway by a jubilant son, who held aloft a square of celluloid. The former was startled to see a mans features impressed on the film. This was dispatched to the chief of police, who pronounced it to be the likeness of Raflies, a notorious criminal, who was known to be in the neighbourhood. The felon was subsequently captured and the silver plate returned to Georges mother. HUGH KENNER, IC Acad. .sf - :im , . N 1 'R ,:. 21 .Q A .gf .d Q W '.

I-IIGGINSON Cavzterbzzry SECOND PRIZE THERE is no spot which I visited in England a few years ago which impressed me quite so much as that ancient city of Canterbury. The beautiful Norman-built ca- thedral is particularly interesting- but let me begin at the entrance to the city where the Westgate Towers built in the thirteenth century are still the gateway to the city. In these towers are relics of by-gone days, such as the ducking stool for scandal mongers and a jaw clamp for local gossips- which still might be ef- fectively used. Though now only a museum, it still holds something of those days when men were beheaded for such small offences. Its large spikes, which are now only decorations, once held the heads of those who were executed. When one passes through the nar- row, old-fashioned streets on his way to the Cathedral, he is amused at the mixture of ancient and modern, short, narrow streets where stores and houses built in the thirteenth century stand next to the very modern ones built recently. One would be startled to notice a bank messenger dressed in the uniform of 500 years ago step from the latest model in buses, or town criers with large three-cornered hats. By this time we had come to the narrowest street in the city, where neighbours can touch hands by leaning from the upper windows, and where at the end is the beautiful Norman-built Ca- thedral so well preserved in spite of its age. Directly inside the nave is the tomb of the Black Prince, and above it his black coat of mail. just beyond this is the little room where Thomas Becket was murdered. Rays of light shine through a stained glass window to his memory and dance on the Hoor where a brass plate with a black cross marks the place where he fell. The guide's voice droned on but we were more interested in looking than listening, except when the choir began to sing, and then we had to listen to the clear voices of about 50 young men and boys coming from the main Anglican part of the Cathedral, for it has a number of little churches within its walls to suit all religions. The Cathedral is in the centre of what seems like a little village for all the Bishops, Canons and ministers connected with it live around it. The Archbishop of Canterbury lives here in his palace which stands next to a boys' school built by Henry VIII. Extending from the opposite side of the Cathedral is another building shaped like a castle, which is St. Augustine's Abbey, built by St.Augus- tine for the training of young priests when Christianity was first taught by him. It is still used for the same purpose. The inside has been modern- ized, so it is not so interesting, but the outer walls are the same with quaint turrets all around which make an ideal nesting place for large black rooks. The next place of -interest is the pretty little church of St. Martins, CU7IlI'IIllt'lI on page 110 The New Parziffc Coast Highway THIS summer I went from California to Vancouver on the new highway built along the Pacific coast. As far as we could see to the right there were mountains and to the left the ocean. For miles there was nothing but the Rocky Mountain country and the steep wooded slopes of the foot- hills. In the mountains we went though a 'densely-forested redwood region for a distance of two hundred and fifty miles or more. The trees in this forest were the largest we had ever seen, many towering more than three hundred and fifty feet overhead. NVe saw one of the largest trees in the 46 THE EcHoEs forest growing by the side of the high- way. It was four thousand years old, the circumference at the ground one hundred and one feet, the diameter thirty-three feet, and the height two hundred and fifty feet. The interior of this tree was burned out to make a store where we bought postcards and souvenirs. Throughout this woodland it is always twilight and there rests an atmosphere of ancient calm. There are resorts in it, and by government inter- vention the forest is saved for all time for the enjoyment of the public. Along this highway we saw some of the most beautiful scenery in the world. We caught a glimpse of the Eel River through the Grant Redwoods. Silver Lake is seen over the Snowy Ranges, lying far below the road amid pines and cliffs. We saw Mount Rainier, one of the most beautiful snow-covered mountains in United States. At the foot of the mountain nestled a small farming village. We stopped at a place called Agate Beach and gathered agate stones, some of which are very valuable. As we got near Vancouver we saw oyster beds in the bays, and resorts where oyster dinners were served. f This paved highway, built through the mountains in places where a path- way seems almost an impossibility, is a wonderful engineering triumph. JEAN CL.-xRKsoN, VB Acad. OM Erin FIRST PRIZE, THERE is a land where the shamrock grows H and a hardy blue-eyed race has filled this land for centuries. Heather-covered hills, a rugged Antrim coast, red-roofed towns with a peat smoke haze Hoating above, and the salty tang of sea air-all these seem peculiar to Ireland alone. Those who know them, love them. The green-clad hills have lured many a would-be traveller there to remain in domicile. The Irish people themselves seem to be the possessors of an individual and appealing charm and grace. Their care- less good nature and utter unpracti- cality is a source of annoyance to the more practical among us, but beloved by the majority. Poverty-stricken folk living on cold wind-swept moors appear contented with their lot. Irish wit and humour, to me, is the best in the world. What other people display that genius of quick repartee, that ever-present sense of humour which carries them through misfortunes? Quick humour goes hand in hand with a temper, which, like our winter temperature, rises seldom and drops quickly. The feeling existing between fac- tions in the north and south is an ever- present source of bitterness. Now and UPPER SCHOOL then a flare occurs and some Northern- ers or Southerners, as the case may be, cross the border to remove the object of their annoyance. As an instance of this, when the new Craigavon bridge in Londonderry was to be opened offi- cially by the Lord Mayor of London, flags and streamers waved gaily all over the city. At night a party of Southerners removed these flags to the great indignation of the populace, who turned out eu. masse and patrolled the streets till dawn to prevent further outrages. Class distinction is clearly marked in a way difficult to imagine in such a democratic dominion as Canada. The lower classes, even if their wealth be greater than that of the upper classes, revere them nevertheless. Ireland is a country where a happy- go-lucky temperament predominates everywhere. Conventionalism with re- gard to one's attire is thrown to the winds. Trains seldom run on schedule. Time means nothing and regular habits depend upon the individual. With all its colourful customs and peculiarities, Ireland, beloved home land of millions of people, is deservedly named the Emerald Isle. ALICIA LANGLEY, 5-A Acad. THE EcHoEs 47 Schools' of BOfI.Z'l.d THERE are three types of schools: one for Indian children, one for Cholo or middle class children, and the other for the upper class. There are also a few mission schools where all castes are admitted, and two or three private schools. In the Indian schools the children have a slate and perhaps a reader. They generally sit on the ground or on planks which are placed on stumps or boxes. The school room is generally a mud hut about lO feet by 12 feet, with one small door and no windows. In this room there are anywhere from twenty to thirty children crowded in. In the lower and warmer climates they have their schools out of doors under the trees. They are taught to read and write and also some arithmetic. They are very clever in modelling objects from clay. These schools are all in the country. The Cholo schools are in the city. The schoolrooms are a little larger and they have one or two windows. The floors are wood and so are the benches. The children have more books to study from and they learn more subjects. The upper-class schools are the same as the Cholo, the only difference being that they are separate from the others. Recently they have been joining them together tthat is the Cholo and upper classl because the government is not able to pay so many teachers. As it is, the teachers are usually six months behind in their pay anyway. The schools are not heated and during the two coldest weeks in june the children are given a holiday. The Indian children are dressed in the distinctive dress of their tribe. From the time the children are three until they are ten they are sent into the fields to watch pigs, sheep, and cows. Then they are sent to school until time for harvestfor seeding and then they have tofwork in the fields. The Cholo children are sent to school when they ale five. They belong to what is known as the working class. These children also wear a distinctive type of dress but very similar to that of the Indian. The upper class dress in the the European style. Their children are educated to be government ollicials, doctors, or lawyers. They are taught that working as a cook or cobbler or tailor is degrading and only the Cholo or Indian is supposed to do this kind of work. Does this make Peterborough appeal more to you? MARY C. Hfxnuow, IIIB Acad. 43 THE EcHoEs Around the Carp? Peninsufa SECOND PRIZE, JUNIOR MIDDLE SCHOOL THE Perron Boulevard or Gaspe Highway of which I write is con- sidered by many experienced travellers to be the most beautiful in the world. The great scenic drive does not begin until one reaches the quaint little French-Canadian town of Riviere du Loup, one hundred and twenty miles below the most picturesque city in North America, Quebec. This town is steeped in the historic traditions of the French-Canadian people. Its nar- row streets wind up steep hills from the water front. Its quaint seigneurial- styled houses, and its tall church spires all bespeak to the traveller the charm of a people deeply imbued with the loxe of antiquity, and romance of bygone days. From this delightful town one drix es east toward the Gulf of St. Lawrence. Gradually the hills on the opposite shore of the St. Lawrence grow fainter until all that can be discerned is a dark irregular horizon. Soon the skyline melts away into a vast expanse of blue ocean. Vlfe notice with interested curi- osity the fishing equipment arranged along the sea-shore ready for use, and also the crude fishing skiffs. The quaint villages impress one with the peculiar fact that here are a happy home- loving people who have not adopted any mode of life different from that of their Norman forefathers who settled there three centuries before. In places there is a beautiful green coniferous forest to our right, to our left is the vast and mighty Gulf. All too soon we reach Metis where we stop for the night. It is a beautiful summer resort by the sea. In the morning we leave on our east- ward journey. Now we are on the Gaspe Coast proper. What beauty! XVhat grandeur! To our right are great towering mountains covered with ever- greens which give them the appearance of enormous moss-blanketed hills. To our right the breakers of the mighty ocean roll against the embankment, upon which the road is built, with such violence that our car is drenched by the salt spray. Soon we begin to climb. Up through the virgin timber and over and around the mountain winds this snake-like road, a modern marvel of engineering. VVe are two thousand three hundred feet above sea-level. The throbbing of the engine becomes hard on our ears.

The two parties took the names Jeeps and Goons. The Goon party supported George Hall for President: Dorothy Moscrop for Vice-Presidentg Olga VVestbye for Secretary and Alexander Ellis for Treasurer. The opposing jeep Party urged the election of Jack Cowling for Presidentg for Vice-President, jean Dorrisg Secretary, Eileen Schoales, and for Treasurer, Tom McMillan. Colourful posters, both comical and serious, adorned the halls and then each candidate addressed the student body to present the promises of his party. Came election day and the electorate voted one Goon and three Jeeps into office. P1'e5z'a'e'11f.' George Hall Jean Dorris Eileen Schoales Tom McMillan I'z'cc-Presz'de1zl: Secretary: Tl'6C1S1H'Cl'.' The Executive, with the assistance of Mr. Richardson, entered upon the various activities of the Council, namely, Commencement, Literary Meetings, At Home, and the fulfill- ment of election promises. It was decided to have four Literary Meetings during the year, which would be completed before the presentation of the Operetta. On Wednesday, November 18, the first meeting of the Literary Society was presented by forms VA, VB and 49 il IYA Academic, under the supervision of Miss Brisbin, Mr. C. S. Browne, and Mr. Zavitz. The meeting was of a musical nature and opened with a medley of songs given by the entire cast. Jim Morrow very ably filled the position of Master of Ceremonies. Instrumental and vocal selections were rendered by Olga XVestbye, Alan Brown, and other members of the cast, including Merrill Smith, who ac- companied the orchestra and many of the soloists. The second part of the programme consisted of a skit acted by Allan Park and Eric XVest. The whole performance was a very credit- able one. The Academic Third Forms and IVB were responsible for a varied and inter- esting programme, presented on Mon- day, November 20, 'Sam Rogow was official announcer. The first number was a Violin duet by Bill Moorehead and john McMillan. Bob McKinley greatly amused his audience with his skilful imitations. A chorus of fourteen voices, eight girls and six boys, under the direction of Miss McGregor and accompanied by joan Ottewell, de- lighted their audience with three songs 2 As I Went Down to Dover, Vive l'Amour, and Neapolitan Nights. Following this a tap dance was given by IXfIisses Hope and Clarkson of IIIB. The meeting concluded with a play, Brothers ia Arms. The first meeting of the New Year, presented on Friday, January 22nd, proved a decided success.

A piano duet was played by Mildred McIntyre and Lenore Skitch. The Special Commercial Form con- tributed its share with the presentation of a musical burlesque, The Merchant of Venice. The score was played by Norma Hughes. The last meeting of the year, Friday, january 29, was sponsored by forms III Industrial Arts, III and II House- hold Arts, and Academic IIC and IIB, and IIB, and was one of the most inter- esting of the year. IIB and IIC Aca- demic presented the play Pyramus and Thisbe from Midsummer Night's Dream. A fashion revue was given by Household Arts II. The dresses, which were described by Muriel Mac- Keage, represented all styles from the modern to the archaic. Gwen Bond, of IIC Academic, did her part for the programme by singing hill-billy songs, and accompanying herself on the ukelele. The musical part of the pro- gramme continued with a solo, Smilin' Through, by Jim Hawthorne, in fine soprano voice. Jack Thompson, an- nounced as 'la one-man band, exe- cuted a difficult number with a mouth organ and an auto-harp. Tom Mc- Millan, secretary of the Students' Council, in an address on driving, pointed out several neglected rules of Safety. An interesting demonstration was given of blue-print developing detailed by Alexander Ellis. The uses of the electric eye were shown by Bob Whiteside, Don Perks and Gordon Benson. Not the least interesting was a wood-working demonstration by Joe Cook and Bruce Clark of Industrial Arts and an illustrated explanation of the modern automobile engine. Con- cluding the programme was an in- structive lighting demonstration given by Lionel Campbell and Robert Dean. omllzelzfemelzf 0N THE afternoon of December fourth the annual Commencement Exercises of the school took place in the auditorium with Dr. Moir acting as chairman. The school orchestra, under Mr. Weams' direction, added much to the enjoyment of the programme. The newly-formed Girls' and Boys' Glee Clubs made their hrst appearance on this programme and were very well received. After a short address by the chair- man, the diplomas were presented to the several graduating classes by members of the staff. Mr. F. D. Kerr's address to the graduates was humorous as well as inspiring. In it he included an eloquent appreciation of Dr. Kenner. Mr. Duncan NValker presented the Nicholls Scholarships, and the ap- pearance of Mr. F. J. A. Morris Cstill Bobby to us studentsl to present the W. G. Morrow Scholarships, was an opportunity for us to show how much we welcomed him back. The Wander Co. trophies for ath- letics were presented by Mr. Charles Shaw to Peggy Lawless and jack Pat- terson, senior field-day champions. An excellent Valedictory Address was delivered by Ferguson Barr, now of University College, Toronto. After the Writing Prize was pre- sented to Carlyle Jaquith, Dr. Kenner disclosed to an expectant audience the names of the Princeps Alumna and Princeps Alumnus. The former honour was bestowed upon Margaret Lundy who received Mrs. Downey's prize, and Edward Cragg, Princeps Alumnus, received Dr. Kenner's special prize. Harold Rogers and Peter Demos were then presented with the Upper School and Middle School French Prose prizes by Miss Margaret VVhite. The programme, which had also included a piano solo by Merrill Smith, was concluded with the singing of the National Anthem. 52 Immediately following this, after- noon tea was served in the gymnasium to the guests, the members of the THE Ecr-roEs In the evening a dance was held in the school gymnasium, bringing one more very successful Commencement graduating classes assisting. to an end. H. T. Unfedzkio fy MR. CHAIRMAN, guests, members of the Board, Dr. Kenner and staff, and pupils of P. C. V. S.: Commencement, the annual event in the course of Collegiate education, is upon us once more. Another class has passed on and left the torch to be held aloft by the incoming class. Commencement W when we say the word does it have any special signin- cance for us, or do we think about it at all? Some may think the name Commencement inappropriate since it does not actually take place at the beginning of the school year. But they have not gone deep enough. lt is a commencement for us - the graduat- ing class - a commencement of a life in which we are dependent upon our- selves. No longer have we helping teachers at our sides to guide us through the toils and tribulations of our young lives. On leaving P. C. Y. S. we enter upon an entirely different phase of life. Some may go into business and others may continue their pursuit of education, but in both cases there is a break to all previous life, and the beginning of a new one. But like young birds learning to fly we must have prepara- tion before we take our flight and P. C. Y. S. prepares us thoroughly for our start. A tree begins its life under humble auspices. lt is like all the rest-a young plant that is weak and needs protection. lt grows rapidly and expands and soon reaches shrub- height. Hitherto all have been pretty much alike. Now the young tree enters upon a new phase of its existence. It now puts forth effort with the others to reach the height at which it will receive rnore sun. Each tree feels this new urge but each with different results. For some reason or other, some never rise above their shrub- height existence. On entering this new stage the tree is only a sapling, young and pliant. As it grows in this period it digs its roots in deeper, its base becomes larger. It broadens out in its trunk. It branches out above into new directions and finally reaches its objective only after undergoing this period of expansion. Now it is able to withstand the storms that come from every direction. It may bow beneath them but it always straightens up, triumphant in the end. So we, on entering Collegiate, enter upon the moulding period of our life. W'hen we come in we are young and pliable too. VVe receive in this institu- tion instruction to widen our outlook and likewise material to strengthen our characters. During our stay here we have dug our roots in deeper so as to be well-rooted when necessary. VVe have strengthened our foundations by absorbing and putting to good use the information we have received. W'e have grown taller and broader, we have put our branches out into new and varied fields and all the while our aim has been to get to the top. NVe too, are now able to withstand the storms of life. lVe too, may bow but not break beneath the tempest. But all is not as happy as this picture paints. The young tree may be in such a hurry to attain full growth that it for- gets to root itself firmly. It puts all its strength and nourishment into growing higher. As a result its roots are shallow, its base narrow and its trunk slender. It will not be long before it is blown down. So we are inclined when we enter this institution to neglect to build from the ground up. If it were not for our THE EcHoEs ever-patient teachers we would grow out of proportion and proper weight to make a good start. And here I should like to offer a few words of exhortation to those who remain. You have seen right from the first year you were here the opportunities which are yours. A secondary school education is not meant to be a narrow education. To those who have taken advantage of these opportunities, may I offer my congratulations. To those who have not, I have a few more words to say. You have all heard, no doubt, this quotation from Shake- speare. It is very apt and I shall quote it here: There is a tide in the affairs of men, Which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune: Omitted, all the voyage of their life Is bound in shallows and in miseries. On such a full sea are we now afloatg And we must take the current when it serx es, Or lose our ventures. You have a commodious and up-to- date building, an able and efficient staff, headed by a principal of merit in Dr. Kenner, and a variety of school activities with which to develop your capacities. Take advantage of these provisions for your advancement. It is to your gain to do so. P. C. V. S. is a school that is Tops in every way. It is only when one gets away and can compare it with other schools that one realizes what a fine 53 school we have here. No other school has such Wonderful openings by which the student may profit. And in the past its record has always been brilliant. P. C. V. S. is noted for its Rugby teams and on the morrow a team of our fellows will be out on the field playing the game for the games sake and for the school's sake. Our Student Councils have always been energetic and progressive, and this year's Coun- cil under capable leadership is more than maintaining its past record. Our Echoes, our Orchestra, in fact every school organization deserves a Word of praise And what about school spirit? XVell, it is my own personal experience that our school spirit never dies even though we are graduates. When our school gets behind its school functions, as it has in the past, I do not think we need to worry about a lack of spirit. But what of the future? To quote an eminent Toronto clergyman: VVe may take our hats off to the past, but we must take our coats oi? to the future. To you who remain is the duty of maintaining the high reputa- tion already established, Do not fail us who have just gone on. XVe did our best and we hope that you will con- tinue and do your best. Take off your coats.

Wander Limited, Elmwood Park, Peterborough, Ontario 5-I IU49hf FtJLLtiJXX'ING the success of last years operetta it was decided that such would be our annual form of school entertainment. The musical comedy, In Old Vienna, chosen for this year's presentation, was colourful and gay and the music most intriguing. The argument concerns an American millionaire pickle manufacturer who. with his daughter June, arrives in Vienna at carnival time. To his conster- nation he finds jones, his advertising expert, advertising Penningtorfs Peter Piper Pickles too well. An old ac- quaintance, Lady Vivian, a wealthy English Woman, also arrives on her annual search for her daughter who was lost near Vienna at carnival time when a baby. Kinski, the pompous police chief, plots to substitute the lost child of Lady Vixian and marry her for her fortune. A band of Gypsies visits the carnival. led by -Iigo the chieftain, and his supposed daughter Ilona. Ex ents lead all to the Gypsy camp where a magic pool reveals the face of Lady Vivianis daughter. Arthur Crefont, a poor artist, wins recognition of his art and ,PHE Ecnoiss Thknna also the hand of june Pennington. Lady Vivian consents to become Mrs. Penningtong Kinski's plot is exposed: Ilona is restored to her mother and Jones is rewarded with success in his campaign for the hand of Ilona. Rehearsals for the choruses and principals were under the able direction of Mr. Chenhall and Miss Hicks. The operetta Was presented in the school auditorium on March -l and 5 and was a decided success at both performances. The members of the cast, who were almost entirely chosen from the ranks of the newly-folmed Glee Club, were as follows: Haus LOIIZ-SLI tiaptaiiz Kfwzslez' Hzmzskzi .. .

This year, however, we seem to be especially lacking Wind instrumentalists. If any of our readers are interested in the study of music won't you please consider the wind instrument. We are asking your aid not only for our beneht but for your own. But please don't think we have no players in that section for we have! A trombone player has this year swelled our ranks and we have two cornetists. Vwie should like to take this opportunity of expressing our thanks and appreciation to Mr. Weames, our conductor, and to the Executive of the Students' Councili Mr. Weames, with the support of the Council, has obtained new music, including Marguerite from Faust, Nights of Gladnessp and Caprice Yiennoisf' The orchestra has assisted at the following functions: Armistice, Commence- ment, Literary Meetings.

VVEAMES, B.SC. E. BoR1.AND. ff 'LC 58 THE ECHCES Saab! ONE of the most important phases of school life at the P. C. V. S. is that of the school dances, rugby banquets and basketball lunches. Even more important than these are the Annual At Home and the Commencement dance. A great deal of credit is due to the social committee under the capable chairmanship of Mr. L. -I. Pettit. Other members of this committee are lyliss Mary O'Connell, Miss Helen McGregor, Mr. H. L. Collingwood, Isabel VVray, Lenore Lewis, Gordon Johnston and -lim Morrow. Rvoisv BAxQL'ETs The rugby teams this year merited the fine Banquets served to them after each home game. The girls offered their services as waitresses and could be seen almost any Saturday morning in the school gymnasium, busy decorating tables and buttering bread. This year the boys of the teams supplied the more staple food such as cabbages and pies, and certainly did justice to them. After the banquets the melodious strains of Lost started the rugby fans on a gay evening of dancing to Bill Wheeler and his orchestra. COMBIEXCEBIENT DANCE After the commencement exercises a dance, which was open to the graduating classes and students of third, fourth and hfth forms, was held in the school gymnasium. Music supplied by George Broadley and his trio provided an excellent background for the fun of the evening. THE Ar HOME Glowing with colour and soft lights our gymnasium was filled to capacity on lYednesday evening. December twenty-ninth, for one of the largest dances in the history of this centre of learning. Over live hundred people attended. It was one of the gayest and prettiest events in the Yuletide calendar with every detail arranged to perfection by the Students' Council, under whose auspices the dance was held. May we extend our appreciation to the following who served as patrons and patronesses: Dr. and Mrs. H, R. H. Kenner, Dr. and Mrs. A. Moir, Mr. and Mrs. L. J. Pettit, Mr. and Mrs, L. M. Richardson, Mr. and Mrs. XV. Brown, Mr. and Mrs. F. E. Johnston, and Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Richardson. The decoratixe scheme, which was elaborate and striking, was carried out in school colours of garnet and grey, with silver and black highlights. The committee, under the leadership of Bliss BI. Blontgomery, did very excellent work in this capacity. The supper was served at midnight, catered for by llessrs. Hooper and Sons. Blose Yokom and his ten-piece orchestra supplied the music for dancing and all too soon the most successful dance of our school year was brought to a close. THE Eenoss 59 THE BAsKETB.xLL DANCES So far this year our basketball teams have been very successful and so were able to enjoy the lunches served after each home game. The brief dances were clearly very popular with both the rival teams and their supporters. The Social Committee would like to express their sincere appreciation to the B. A. A. and G. A. A. executives for their services in connection with these affairs. There were four in all. STL'DEN'rs' Covxcn. ENTERTAINS OPERETTA C.xsT On Friday ex ening, March S, after the presentation of the operetta In Old TYIICIZIZU, the members of the cast, the orchestras, stage hands, ticket-sellers and all who had helped to make the operetta a success, were entertained in the school gym. by the Social Committee at the command of the Students' Council. About one hundred and hfty were present. Refreshments were served by the girls who had acted as ushers for the operetta. hlusic for dancing 'was supplied by members of the orchestra, tunes from the score being heard again and again. hlany of the dancers were still in costume.

This pessimistic outlook is exactly what the Camera Club is striving to overcome, and in the light of that statement our object is to have a club of optimists f those individuals who look on the bright side of life and with a clear view. The executive of this years club is as Iollows: Honorary President Mr. Y. R. Henry President Bill Donaldson Yice-President jean Flett Secretary Margaret Parker Treasurer jack Craig and an advisory committee of live members: Evelyn Lawless, Fred and Tom Hooper, Bill Henry, and Barrie -lack. This year at the initial meeting so many members turned out to learn the dos and don'ts of photography that one of the first steps taken by the newly- elected officers was that of equipping a second dark room. Since even with this second dark room accommodation was still taxed, a system was adopted whereby members having study periods might use two of these per week in the dark room. lYe are very grateful to Dr. Kenner for granting us this privilege. Most of the students know the purpose of the club, but to those who do not may I explain? XYe hold fortnightly meetings at which we learn iirst the rudirnents such as developing and printing our own rolls. Then, as the season advances, topics such as enlarging, taking of silhouettes, indoor photography, etc., are dealt with. This year a Iirst attempt was made by some of the Senior Members of the club to produce their own personal Christmas cards. As in previous years, the Students' Council granted the Camera Club permission to select and distribute the school Christmas cards. Two cards were selected by the executive, and these were posted on the bulletin board in the main hall, with injunctions to the senior forms to make their selection by vote. YX'e were quite unfortunate this year in losing our president, Bill Donaldson. through illness. XYe sincerely hope that Bill will be back to lead the club to greater achievements next year. In the meantime, Jean Flett, the vice-president, at the unanimous request of the club members, has very ably assumed the duties attached to the presidency.

Vlfe have been fortunate in receiving a letter from the. editor of last year's Echoes, Harold Rogers. The letter follows: Dear Editor: Please allow me to take this opportunity to express my appreciation for being asked, Once again, to contribute to your celebrated annual publication, The Echoes. But honestly, friends, all big words and fancy phrases aside, it seems like Old times to be able to greet you again from these pages. Living right here in town, I find myself handicapped for material to put in this letter, since, without the risk of being called a liar, I cannot string a line like the more fortunate alumni who are now occupying the spotlight QP! in some of our larger cities. I feel certain that any description of the humdrum routine of factory life would be, at best, boring to the up-and-coming, wide-awake collegiate student. Did I say factory life was humdrum? Well- hardly! When a fellow is busy he hasnft time to worry about a little thing like that. And then, just to relieve the monotony tif anyl, We find, after making a mistake, that our supervisors certainly do know how to give us f- ! !. Oh yes! You know! You don't have to be a Kirma to read those signs. Also, in industry today, we realize that we are working toward a definite goal, we know that after years Of diligent application, we may be able to sit in a cushioned swivel-chair too, our feet on the desk, smoking a ten-cent Perfecto, and telling our friends about the big muskie we almost caught out at Chemong last summerg or in the winter time we may engage in a heated argument about the outcome Of the game this week between the Leafs and the Maroons. Other subjects are treated in a more casual Way, but Mrs. Simpson, President Roosevelt, the Mississippi Valley Floods and the Dionne Quintuplets are given due consideration. I fear that I have disclosed too many Of the trade secrets, so I shall try to repair some Of the damage by paying a tribute to our foremeng they are exceedingly long-suffering and indulgent toward us. However, if any supervisor reads this letter I fear that I'1l get my neck in a sling, and if worst comes to Worst, please think Of me kindly and remember that I died a martyr in the cause of the junior clerks. In the meantime, here's wishing the teaching staff, the students and The Echoes a happy and prosperous 1937. Yours as ever, HAROLD V. RoGERs. 66 THE EcHoEs 'We have also received a letter from Lorene Piper, a graduate of P. C. I., who is now attending Queens University: Queen's University, Kingston, Ontario. Dear Echoes: Or Dear Students, which is a more amiable beginning. - I first want to thank the editor for this opportunity to revive former memories and friendships with P. C. I. As a dignified college student, I look back on my high school days with much pleasure. Only after beginning our college studies do we realize the value of our high school education. Despite the drudgery of homework and the wretched examination Cso students sayl. the program of study gives you a general knowledge. The athletic and social activities of P. C. I. develop personality and character. The spirit of loyalty felt by post-graduates is great evidence of the school spirit existing in your institution. One of our great desires is to attend a university. The general broadening, the opportunity of meeting young people from all parts of the Dominion, the formation of life-long friendships are some of the most valuable acquisitions of college education. The medium for attaining this to its full is residence life. This environment offers pleasant social contacts, teaching you to live congenially with others - young people Whose minds are developing can meet on a common basis to discuss some of the problems confronting us today. You begin to develop individualism and power of independent thought. Most illuminating are the views and opinions on Europe today, given- by the exchange students from Germany and France. Open to every student are the facilities for diversified sport and enjoyment of inter-collegiate games. The college clubs are especially interesting because of their cultural develop- ment. There are the English Club, French and German Clubs, Biology Club, the Dramatic Guild and Camera Club, the League of Social Reconstruction which is a society devoted to the study and improvement of our social conditions, and the student Christian Movement for the study of religion and its full realization in life. The bi-weekly school paper encourages those interested in journalism. You are surrounded by an atmosphere of learning, by eminent professors and great scholars. Advanced studies in your chosen subjects, mingled with a bit of philosophical thinking, constitute the academic side. Such as these opportunities are, I believe that the old saying, You get out of college only what you put into it, is true. You must participate in student activities in order to gain the real benefits derived from a college education. The advantages of the university library, where current papers, magazines and thousands of volumes of the best books are obtained, give students every opportunity to become literary. Vile, as young people, are facing the troubled world of today where economic stress is causing unemployment, war, bloodshed and suffering. In the face of these problems we are trying to fit ourselves to earn a living. It is very important that we choose our vocation wisely and endeavour to help society intelligently, to further the cause of democracy and to help our less fortunate brothers. In conclusion, I wish this year's graduating classes, who are choosing a career, the very best of success. I hope that those remaining will enjoy their years at P. C. I. as much as I did. Yours sincerely, LORENE PIPER. THE Ecuons 67 Now comes the piece de reszfstaizce of y our Alumni Section- a letter from an ex-student who was Princeps Alumnus in 1922, who joined the staff of P. C. I. in 1923, and who left us last year to accept a position with Lisgar Collegiate Institute, Ottawa - a letter from E. F. Legon: -10-1 Laurier Ave., East, Ottawa, Ont- February 2, 1937. Dear Editor: . It is a difficult task you have assigned me. and I would that I had the power to- phrase my words in a way to interest your many readers. Those who find pleasure in the handicraft of nature will readily admit that Peterborough and the lake district hold a charm that delights the pleasure seeker, and a restful quiet for those wearied by the toil of cities. Ottawa, too, abounds in natures gifts and, though it is a much larger city, the country-side is accessible in a very few minutes. Much of the city itself is as nature provided, and man's handiwork has but added to its beauty. As I walk my way to school I cross a bridge over the Rideau Canal. There, to the north, is Parliament Hill, the Chateau, and beyond, where the canal lowers to the river level, is the valley of the Ottawa, and in the background, the Laurentian Hills. It is a sight that never wearies the eye, whether a rainy mist blows down from the hills or the sun glints on the metal roofs of the buildings and lends a deeper azure to the hills beyond. 'Tis to such a place we have come to work and live and we are naturally happy to have such realms to explore. So much about our new home. Do I think of P. C. I.? Yes, quite often. There are many incidents that creep back into my memory, too numerous to mention. I might indulge in the usual encomia, but I shun these. Everyone knows that P. C. I. is one of the best in the land. Its staff is surpassed only by the man who heads it, Dr. Kenner. Its teams have always been outstanding. Why should I eulogize? A word to the pupils, perhaps? No! They will be castigated often and encouraged in turn by each and every one of their masters. Hard is the lot of the pupil, yet it is the best time of their lives. That statement will be received by all school children like the utterances of Cassandra by the Trojansg and alas! they will realize it only when the days are gone and but a memory. And so, if once in a while you become reminiscent and we choose to enter your thoughts, remember that we cherish the days at P. C. I. Remember, too, that we still find, like Horace in his Sabine Farm, the sincerest pleasures in the simplicity and grandeur of nature. And our wants are amply supplied here. You will excuse these rambling thoughts of mine. Do accept my thanks for the opportunity of being back in P. C. I. once more, in thought at least. Yours sincerely, E. F. LEGON. 63 THE EcHoEs .levi 'T ,, it Pi A l QHQ ll-I A- .fifjlffzzjzl 2-IL VEIKHTT 1 ! 6 . qi., 6 ' V f..,, MANX' useful ideas for our own year book have been derived from our exchanges, They have been a constant source of both pleasure and information to the whole editorial staff.

Tx f Vf dvgr 40p7gWfJ y 5-it if lglaff iz 70 THE EcHoEs l Glcfeff ON May ZS, last year, the P. C. Y. S. Cadet Corps gave a splendid dis- play of company and platoon drill before Captain De Le Panet, the inspecting ollicer. The ceremonial drill was smartly executed and then the individual platoons gave a display of platoon and sectional drill. Une of the highlights of the inspec- tion was the excellent display by the school bugle-band led by Lieutenant Hugh Davidson. The band executed several ditlicult trick-marches flawlessly. The inspecting ollicer was well pleased with the display put on by the school guard and he stated that that was the ilrst time he had inspected a guard in a secondary school inspection. The school iirstfaid corps gave a yery efficient exhibition of bandaging and stretcher bearing. During the course of the inspection the signallers took a message from Captain De Le Panet and relayed it around several blocks back to the school. After the inspection the company was formed into a hollow square and Captain De Le Panet made a short speech. He presented the I. O. D. E. shield to Number One Platoon for general ellciciency. He also presented several medals and pins to members of the school shooting team who had won them during the course of the year. Our cadet corps is indeed fortunate in having Captain H. A. Craig as instructor. It was largely due to his untiring efforts and personal zeal that the corps was able to put on such a splendid display. Plans for this year's inspection are already being formed. The Ohicers' 'Training Corps is being trained by Sergt.-Major Frape of the Prince of XVales Rangers. As an added attraction for those who turn out for this course, machine-gun drill is taken up one night a week. The school rifle teams, under the capable tuition of Ralph Hagerman, are in the D. C. R. A. and R. M. C, competitions. These are not yet finished but we expect our school teams will give a very creditable showing. The Board of Education has seen lit to donate a hundred dollars towards the replacement of the uniforms. It is very likely, however, that this money will be used to dye the old uniforms naxy blue. -T.

S., we do so with a great deal of pride and a distinct realization that once again athletes from this school have distinguished themselves in competition with others of more than ordinary ability. Since athletics have always held a prominent place in the life of this school it is only fitting that considera' ble attention be given to this depart- ment in our annual publication, The Echoes. But possibly one of the most difiicult sections to be written is this very departmentg for it is by no means easy to give credit where credit is due and verbal punishment where it seems merited, without slighting someone or incurring the disfavor of another. Al- though all worked equally hard, suc- cess came to some in a greater degree than to others. But such has always been the fate of those who aspired to fame in the field of athletics. In rugby, basket- F Held Date- October 7, 1936 Scene- The Ex11ibit'z'0n Grounds Occasion-P. C. V. S. Field Day PERFECT weather conditions, to- gether With the keen interest shown by the large number of students who were present, made this Field Day one of the most successful we have everhad. Jack Patterson won the Senior Championship with first in the 440, high jump, the shot, the javelin throw and the open half-mile, to garner 25 ball, hockey, and track and field events, we of P. C. V. S. have our champions as well as those ordinary athletes, who, if the truth were told, really go to make a successful team. Much of the credit for the success enjoyed by these various groups goes to those coaches who worked diligently to produce teams worthy to represent P. C. V. S. -to Mr. Bamforth, who coached the senior rugby and basket- ball teams, to lVIr. Craig, whose inter- est in track and field events and in the junior basketball team ensured success in this direction. They have co-operated with the B. A. A. to such an extent that this year has been an outstanding success both financially and from the standpoint of athletic achievement. Teams have set a standard this year which future representatives will find difiicult to better. But we wish P. C. V. S. athletes continued and greater success during the coming year.

When a team wins its group, the playoffs in its league, and advances to the Ontario iinals, there is room for some self-praise. And this is just what the senior team did this year. Since there was no junior team in the school, all efforts were concen- trated on the senior aggregationg and under the watchful eyes of Coach Bamforth, as well as with the advice of a group of bench warmers who don't know the difference between a rugby ball and an Eskimo pogostick, the results were astounding. Grouped with Oshawa and Bow- manville, the team experienced no dilhculty in working to the top of the heap, defeating both teams by large scores. Oshawa was beaten in two league games by a total score of 35 to 8 while Bowmanville was likewise beaten to the tune of 36 to 7. After Winning this group the team proceeded to Belleville where they won two games by a total score of 4-2 to 8 to win the playoffs of the Lakeshore League and the Dr. Neal Trophy. Next Barrie was played in Toronto for the right to go into the Ontario finals and P. C. V. S. came out with the long end of a score of 11 to 1. Incidentally this game showed some terrible refereeing on the part of two Toronto men who seemed more at home on a ping-pong table than a gridiron. Now came the crucial test. P. C. V. S. met St. Mikes here in Peter- borough in the finals for the Ontario championship, and while they didn't win they played a great game against a team with facilities for training which we cannot hope to have. Couple this with a few bad breaks fit sounds like an alibi but it isn'tl and you have the reason why an Ontario champion- ship doesn't belong to P. C. V. S. At that the score was only 7 to 2 for St. Mikes. So much for the seasons play. A little research work has brought to 73 YQW light the fact that in league games, exhibition games and playoffs, P. C. V. S. scored 240 points and had only 45 points scored against them. This shows that a good offensive team is no dummy when it comes to playing on the defensive. We have also found that, of this year's team, many will be here next year to really go and get that provincial title. To name those on the team who were outstanding would be unfair and more than likely untrue. Kelly stood out because of his height, Gunsolus because of his width, Gemmell because of his lack of width and Grant Clark because of his lack of height. Al Clark, Hendren, Duncan, Hall, Perks, Luther, Patterson, Turner, VVard, King, Grady, Sedgewick and Czumrik were all ready when needed and all worked equally hard to make the season's play a success. . In passing out bouquets here and there we can't forget the kindness shown us by the team from Grove School, who were so ready and willing to arrange practice games, and who took the ego out of a good many P. C. V. S'ers who believed themselves to be invincible. An exhibition game with Central Technical School of To- ronto will be long remembered, Then, too, we must mention lXIr. R. D. Brown, Mr. Ross and Mr. Colling- wood, who teach the rudiments of the game to stars of future teams. Our thanks also go to Dr. Neal, whose interest in the team has helped im- measurably, and whose medical advice and help has been much appreciated by injured gridders as well as by an athletic association whose finances at no time have been Very great. Dr. Neal had one particularly hard case. It was rumored that 'Tim Hall had a blood clot on the brain, but the doctor could find nothing but the blood clot. VVe are also grateful to Dr. Clark, who has a personal interest in the team and who is really one of the gang, and to Dr. Craig for dental service.

However, in the games played so far, the P. C. V. S. team of this season has shown itself to be of as good calibre as any preced- ing team. Up until now, Bowmanville has proved to be the main threat to P. C. Y. S. supremacy. Then, too, Cobourg is always dangerous on its own very small gym. floor. Oshawa has produced, as in the past, a team of average ability, while Lindsay have shown themselves to be of their usual calibre. The team this year is composed of many types ol individuals. Jack Gemmell is captain, and has time and again prov ed his capacity for leader- ship, and at all times exerts a steady- ing influence upon his team mates. Then, too, Gordon Gunsolus, the original Rodney the Rock, can cover at least half of the ax erage sized gym. floor, and proves a valuable man when the team is shorthanded. Bud Patterson, a quiet, unassuming lad, together with Ernie Foul-a-Minute Ward, Gord -Iohriston and Stuart Laing made up the Four Horsemen of the Senior team. Hymie Smith plays a tight game as always, and Clar- ence Davern, since his recent injury, has taken the position of assistant coach. Spud Turner and Nip Galley, alternating at centre, have given strong support in the games played so far. This year the team entered the Senior City League and has, as in the schedule, lost but one game. It is rather unfortunate that this publica- tion requires news ol the senior basket- ball team at this time, for we are quite conhdent that in the course of a few Weeks we shall be able to report that a championship has come to P.

XYe were fortunate in obtain- ing the services of -lack Patterson as coach and manager. A decided factor in the teams success this year is the fact that the boys hav e played hockey together for several seasons. Exhibition games proved to be by far the best of the seasons play. We lost to Grox e Preparatory School twice and defeated Lakeheld High School once. The attendance of students in large numbers at our exhibition games was quite encouraging. Due to an unfinished schedule, we have been unable to list the scores of all our games, but Kirma has prophe- sied a championship for us. The team was composed of Bud Driscoll in goal, who certainly proved a stumbling block to opposing for- wards. Bill King, Hop XYard and Steve Czumrik made up a hard hitting defence. The speedy forwards, Mink Morrow, Bob Parnall, Alf. King and Pete Pettersone, together with Ralph Parnell and Bill Doris, were certainly dangerous to opposing teams. This year we have been successful. but next winter will see us better than ever. SCORES OF scHEDL'LED GAxIEs TO DATE King Edward 2 St. Peters 2 King Edward 2 0 Aces 2 -l Canucks 2 P. C. Y.

The results of this election were as follows: H01'1.PT6S1id67Zf.' Miss D. E. Brisbin President Isabel Wray Secretary' VVilma Saunders T1'8GSZH'6l'.' Peggy Lawless FIELD DAY, OCTOBER 7, 1936 This year the weatherman did everything in his power to make field day an outstanding success for our school. The girls took every advantage of his generosity to show their interest and fine sportsmanship. The competition was keen in all events, but especially in the senior group. Peggy Lawless won the senior championship with 18 points, just one point more than Mary MacPherson's record. The intermediate cup was won by Helen Beatty, junior champion of last year. We expect to hear more about Helen next year. Jean Carter showed herself to be a budding athlete by winning the junior trophy. Another feature of our field day this year was a booth sponsored by the Boys' and Girls' Athletic Association. VVEINER ROAST On the nineteenth of November the girls held their annual Weiner roast, in the school gymnasium. The games were supervised by lVIiss Brisbin. A very exciting volley-ball game between the academic and commercial started the entertainment off with a bang. A very amusing skit was put on by IA Academic. Soon the Weiners began to appear and disappear. . The Weiner roast once more was a very successful affair. VOLLEY-BALL Each year the girls are becoming more enthusiastic about volley-ball. Because it is becoming more interest- ing as the girls understand it better, and a large number of girls are needed to take part in it, it is a very popular game. After the inter-form play-offs the laurels went to III Commercial, who were successful in defeating VA Aca- demic by a considerable score. Bczfketbfzll ALARGE number of girls turned out to basketball practice this year to uphold the honour of the school. Although they didn't win, they played their best at all times. The girls are especially indebted to the Students' Council for the grant to buy new uniforms, which everyone agrees are exceedingly smart. Those who were fortunate enough to make the Senior Team were: M ary MacPI1ers01z - our captain - who is certainly worthy of the confi- dence the girls placed in her. She is our best forward and the fastest player on the floor. Mary has the happy faculty of scoring with but a minute left to play and thus saving the game. Ruth Ellis - forward - who plays a good game on defense, but when a forward is needed Ruthie is the one to take the place. Her long shots often fool her opponents and incidentally raise the score. ll'iIda Saunders QBQZJSD - centre for- ward - who, even though short, over- comes this by her speed and ability to handle the ball. joan Ottewell - who plays alternate guard and forward. Although this is her first year she has proved herself to be a steady capable player. Doris Glover f guard - who is an- other addition to the line-up this year. She can be depended upon at all times to prevent her opponents from scoring.

Senior Girls started their 1937 schedule by playing Cobourg at home. The teams were quite evenly matched and the score at half-time was tied. However, the Cobourg team had a slight edge in the second half and won the game by a score of 20-10. PoRT HOPE vs. P.C.V.S. The second game of the season was played in Port Hope. The game was close with never more than four points between the scores. Ruth Ellis was a welcome addition to the forward line. The game ended with a 23323 tie. LINDSAY vs. P.C.V.S. P. C. Y. S. went to Lindsay to play an exhibition game. Again the girls 7- - Sl met with stiff opposition. The score was tied at three different times but in the second half P. C. V. scored 19 points and won the game by a score of 3-l-19. P.C.V.S. vs. CoBoURG The last outfof-town game of this season was played in Cobourg. The opponents had the edge throughout the game. P. C. Y. S. began to come up towards the end of the game, but not soon enough. Cobourg won the game with a score of -H-22. P.C.V.S. vs. PoRT HoPE The last schedule game was played at home when Port Hope came here. For this game the team had new uni- forms. The game was close in the first half, the score being tied at half time. In the second half there was no holding the P. C. Y.

What you really want, I suppose, is what is commonly called the low-down. Well - much might be said 4 but on second thought, maybe it had better not. CI've noticed several medals for shooting, adorning manly chests in our formj The members of the fair sex are out- numbered but by no means outshone, espe- cially about 9:01 A.M., when several members come rushing in with shining morning faces, as Mister Shakespeare would have it: due no doubt to the fact that those funny little affairs known as compacts are very elusive at times. If you were to come into VA's stronghold at the south-east corner of the second fioor, some morning about 8:59, you'd find us in a more or less relaxed mood. You would probably be greeted by the lilting strains of Do you know a lovely lady with a scintil- lating smile? iwhich ought to warn you that Alicia was going through a few Opera- tics in preparation for those two glorious nights when she will be a dreamy, schemy widow - boys. Perhaps, on the other hand, you might hear Miss P. Braund, just one of the fair followers of Sappho in tifth, reading her latest poetic outpouring, dedicated to her pal across the aisle: A woodpecker sat on Hilda's head, And settled down to drill, When next I looked, the bird was dead, Poor thing - he broke his bill! Jfadznzzf I leave you to imagine the disastrous effects this produces. In the midst of all this confusion, Marg. Jackson and Marg. Hadden will be peddling well-prepared homework at a premium. They have a monopoly on the racket and the girls report that business is rushing. Drifting across the room a bit, Young and Brenton Cyou know Kennie, girlsj, our trusty troubadors with the deep blue voices, are apt to greet you with some soul-stirring new song like XValtz me around again, 'Willief' mainly for the benefit of our very own Cab Calloway, Swingster Bill. Behind them jimmy Morrow may be heard observing in profound oratorical tones that if all the people who sleep in the study room were placed end to end, they f- well, they'd be much more comfortable anyway. By the way, up till now VA has pointed with pride to its one perfect and persevering bachelor 3 but Your Girl Friday has it on good authority that james was lately observed actually talk- ing to-- oh well, maybe, it's not serious. Then of course there is Pierce. Miss lXIurphy says Pierce's work in Composition is improving weekly, especially in the branch of letter writing. John admits practice makes perfect -keep up the good work, John, say we Cin passingj. The outstanding qualities of character possessed by his friend, Edward Cragg CPrinceps Alumnusb, are extolled else- where in these pages and our feeble pen can add nothing to the tribute except perhaps - orchids to you, Ted.

I mean Stuart Canley, of course, who says he hails from Cobourg, our little suburb to the south, you know, or Campbell and Drummond, those two cut-ups from the fair metropolis of Keene.

YOUR GIRL FRIDAY Form VB Academic OYS: Noel Barr, Murray Gates, Jim Hall, Joe Hiland, Tom Hooper, Fred Hooper, Russell Huggins, Bill King, Don Miller, Guy Pettersone, Horace Steer, Bill Turner, Eric West, Harvard White, Don XVood. Girls: Verna Allen, Jean Clarkson, Phyllis Dawson, Jean F lett, Margaret Harris, Isobel King, Margaret Lundy, Phyllis Nesbitt, Olive Parrington, Rita Sproule, Mary Staples, Marie Van Allen, Betty White, Isobel Wray, Gladys Hunter. To bring to you the personalities of V B is a very difficult task since we have repre- sented here many varied types, ranging from the intelligent, who are few and far between, to the not-so-intelligent, of whom you can find many examples. None the less, these form, we are glad to say, the nucleus of most of the organizations throughout the school. We would be failing in our duty to the form if we didn't give you some idea of the talent existing here. Murray Gates and Marie Van Allen provide most of the schol- astic ability Cand homeworkj in the form and are members of the great army of uns employed. Then there is that budding musician of the form, Horace Steer, who plays the clarinet for his own amazement. Miss Dawson measures up to the collegiate viewpoint that it isn't the girl that counts, it's what she stands for. The President of the Students' Council, George Hall, is, by popular acclaim, a finished actor- finished for life. We also have James Frederick Malcolm Hall, James Frederick Malcolm for short, who is steadily developing into an Olympic threat through his daily dashes designed to defeat the bellow of the bell. CPhew!J The Misses Parrington, Staples and Allen add that rural atmosphere so necessary to the harmonious existence led by our group. Harvard White, the dashing driver from Douro, believed that death begins at forty and is frequently found hugging the wrong curves. Joe Hiland likes work, it fascinates him S he can sit and look at it for hours. Miss Harris, Miss Nesbitt and Miss Flett have formed a knitting circle, the knitting gives the girls something to think about while they are talking! Marg. Lundy, this year's princeps alumna, is the kind of girl who picks her friends - to pieces. Members of the Woodsman Spare That Trio can always be relied on to produce some educational gems. Turner still thinks the feminine of bachelor is lady-in-waiting. West translates hors a oeuz'res by out of work, and King thinks heredity is a bad thing and ought to be prevented. Isobel Wray, President of the G. A. A., is taking up golf but as yet doesn't even know how to hold the caddy. Donald Wood, the lady's man, exemplifies the romantic type. Our form boasts of three travelled members, Miss Clarkson, Miss Hunter and Don Miller, arriving daily from Keene, Havelock and points east, respectively. The other day the Scotsman of the form, Noel Barr, left a tip for the waitress-he had been eating asparagus. Tom and Fred Hooper cast the odd shy glance over to the fairer sex and chuckle inwardly, convincing themselves that the average woman is proof enough that man can take a joke. Reta Sproule and Isobel King will no doubt maintain their usual high standard in the future by being well-groomed at their weddings. Russell Huggins, the tiddlin' fool and Jack Benny's only rival, is now laid up in the hospital. He tried to set a speed record, playing his violin, and contracted a bad case of Saint Vitus Dance. Last and least, we have Guy Pettersone, the mighty atom of Bridgenorth hockeydom. In a few years, Guy is threatening to run for the reeve of Ennismore. Au rexervozk.

A more probable title, however, would be Greek Writing After Hooper. In the field of music, Merrill Smith is IVA's contribution to the musical life of the school. Merrill plays for the assembly, for the orchestra, and for many other activities in the school, and IVA is proud to have such a pianist in its ranks. There are many other talented musicians who deserve mention- such as Edna Borland, pianist and violinist, Eleanora Shaw, pianist, Lloyd Louden, guitarist, and George Ebbs, cazooist. Space does not permit the full recognition due to the members of IVA for their remarkable talent, but we must mention the famous music critics, Messrs. Dick and Hooper, who pull apart the great masterpieces, and rend for is it renderj their pet obsession, Sdzeliere- sade, quite well. May I add a word or two about drama and literature. Pupils of this form have transformed the tragedy of Macbeth into a comedy of merit, on presenting it in class. But for real comedy you must visit this form and look at some of the students. The Browns, Molly and Allan, have taken poetry to heart, and the enchanting verses which flow from their pens melt the hardest hearts Cthey should write poetry for some of the teachers, and let us pass our examinationsj.

Barrie Jack is leading the expedition with various members of SA helping him, including Florence Trebilcock, in case any scientific aid is required. VVe couldn't do without Grace Marshall, who does double duty as a reporter and as a com- forter for discouragement with her soothing poetry.

We discover later that she has misinterpreted the Latin inscriptions on the medical supplies. Luck is with us until nearly the time for our departure. Our cook, Eleanor Scott, is found to be missing and so Mary Hall kindly consents to do the cooking. Since we prefer Eleanor's, we decide to rescue her. Bill Davidson gallantly offers to play the hero and sets out, confident that his blazing crest will supply him with exothermic heat. O'er the Arctic wastes he hears a sweet voice - Calling, calling, and he rushes to the scene, only to find our brave cook, one foot planted on the hefty chest of a senseless Eskimo, resembling Bill Moorhead. The happy couple are cheered lustily by the crew, who have visions of more lvlocha cakes. We return home after experiencing only one other mishap, when Sherry, seeing water for the hrst time instead of ice, forgets that it is still winter and, with her unfailing grace, hits the water with a resounding plop. Strange to say, the snow up there is of the same composition as that of our own home town and we feel confident that one more scientific problem has been solved.

As this is a very valuable publication and space is limited, I cannot do ample justice Academ lil' to the merits of the brilliant members of this form. However, I will try to describe the activities of the class as best I can. As is natural, the fair sex should be con- sidered tirst. On entering the room one cannot help but see the perplexed faces of Phyllis Hill, Marion Juby and Jean Horton, puzzling over a Chemistry problem. They enjoyed the subject so much last year they are taking it again. Mary Haddow intro- duced a bright idea into the school this year, by carrying her books around in a hand bag. Mr. Pettit, however, has not made use of this helpful method. The marking of the register is rather a THE EcHoEs 89 difficult task, as Harlow Cutting and a few of his associates arrive just in time to re- trace their steps to the Assembly Hall, whence they have just come. There must be something down there that attracts them to it each morning. We are proud of having so much talent in our midst. Our tall, dark and rubber-legged friend, Harlow Cutting, set a new record in the Junior high jump this year, as well as being a valuable member of the Junior Basketball squad. Other members of the team include - Ken. Gillespie, Jack Dough- erty, the Junior Flash, and Nelson Foster. Doris Glover is doing a great job on the girls' cage squad. Don Duncan set the pace in the Junior class at the Field Day this year, by winning that championship. He also did splendidly on the football field, playing a bang-up game. He was banged up every game. He serves in the capacity of B. A. A. representative for III B. The G. A. A. representative is Doris Glover. Don Hendren proved to be a valuable snap on the senior pig-skin team by playing line football. We can't leave III B's gift to the ladies, Warring Clarke, out of the picture, nor his pal, the mighty atom, Alex Carlisle, who insists on falling down-stairs, to the general amusement of two or three forms. Bob Juby is still faithful to IIIB and adds life to this class of super-men, along with Jim Beatty, Bev. Bruce, Charlie Dob- bin, and last, but not least, Jack Davies and Stew. Miller. To those who happen to read this feeble description of life in III B, I ask your in- dulgence and to any of the class whom I have unwittingly omitted, I humbly offer my apologies.

Quirt won the juvenile championship on field-day, Jack Craig played on the junior basketball team and Brian Roberts was quarter-back on the All-Star Rugby team. Our G. A. A. repre- sentative is Elizabeth Lillico, and our B. A. A. representative is Aubrey Braund. Academic It was a cold day in January when our form decided to skip school for the afternoon. All of us piled into Irene Poolman's car and she drove us out to Hope's farm. We thought we would like to go for a sleigh-ride up img the mountains just near Keene. Far up on the mountain we could look down into a deep Craig. At the bottom of the Craig we could see a Browne object running around. We were informed by our guide, Perdue, that it was Roberts still playing rugby, A fire was lit. Some wood we had collected was damp and it began to Snznke. Braund immediately sets out and collects some drv wood. When it Burns, Perdue is amazed. The return to the city was uneventful. Each of us went our way home, not daring to think what would happen next morning.

Let me inform you, dear readers, of how those excellent students of IIB spend their mornings. As we straggle along to the Assembly Hall, it is pleasant to glance in at the tirst form rooms where everyone is hard at work UQ and know that they are Wishing that they also were missing a few minutes of the first period. Then we straggle back again to our form room where the windows have been thrown open to the invigorating winter breeze, mak- ing the room feel like a refrigerator. The next notable event of the morning is Howell's daily trip to the basket to deposit his gum. We wonder how many dollars he spends on gum each week. To-day we have French Authors and Helen THE Eenolis Acaciem ic Has fallen hard for Farley Hill. And Jimmy Milburn, the ladies' man, Is anxious for Dot Kelly's hand. Our midgets are: Little Miss Stewart, Miss Brownie Mason, Waterbov Rogow, Reverent Westman, Smart Henry, Cupid Kidd or Rodney the Rock, and Porky Mathews. The giantess is Miss Maralin Munro and her mate, Always Late Warren Gamble. There is a feud going on between Minnie lvlclntyre and Fred Astaire Goselin. The tongues of the class are Gabby Zacks and Smiling Smedmore. The Pep of the class is Betty Hughes, and Joy VValker never has the blues, Vv'inifred Hunter and Noreen Moore are the smart girls of the class. Our Country Maidens are: Miss Moncrief, Miss Reid, Dimule-Cheeked Miss Rosc- borough, Our Botanical Lass, Miss Mullen, and Bliss Mary Tripp with her northern drawl. Mertin Thompson and Eleanor Taylor are a perfect pair. Our imports this year are two of the McNaughton clan. ALVIN KING flcadmzz llc' Beatty, our tield-day champion, is asked to read. After a few sentences, punctuated by many ah's, Miss Moore concludes there has been no preparation and we spend the rest of the period worrying our heads over the vagaries of irregular verbs and queer constructions. The second period is Latin, where we are continually discovering we no longer deserve the certificates in English Grammar for which we worked so hard, Third period, we migrate to the gymnasium where for forty minutes we are put through our paces. Having finished our calisthenics we climb unending Hights of stairs to Zoology class. There we learn how to dissect all animals, from grasshoppcrs to pigeons. You may not think either of these animals but we are assured that such is the fact. At last comes the bell and we rush off to our lockers.

Of course, we are a highly favoured form, brim- ming over with brains, looks, athletic ability, and what have you? Everyone from Mac Powell to Carmen Bell excels in some one thing, whether it be P. T. or Latin. Then, we have the outstanding girls' volleyball team, whose able captain is Margaret West- bye, and who won the Junior Championship. So far, our girls' basketball team, whose captain is Taffy Platt, has been successful in its games. Our congratulations go to Bob Crocker, who stole the show acting as Pyramus, in that tender love scene from A Midsummer Night's Dream. And also to Gwennie Bond whose interpretation of An Old Cowhand brought down the house. All in all, our Lit. programme was a huge success. Oral compositions seem to be the bane of Douglas Wolf's existence. But isn't it every- one's? VVe have also Meridith Miller- sketcher of feminine beauty, and Bert Bethune CScottyJ Hoot Mon. Aye, he's a funny lad. Normal students' brows are always wrinkled over that famous company of Richardson, Richardson and Richardson, Barbara, Betty and Shirley, respectively. In closing, may I compliment our form teacher, Mr. R. D. Brown, on his never-failing patience with us - Form II C. T, P, Form IA IRLSZ E. Armstrong, S. Ashby, H. Ballard, S. Boorman, S. Bothwell, D.

Colossal! VVhat is? Bill Bartlett's green tie with yellow dots, of course. Bill Bartlett is our form representative but just what he represents we're still trying to find out. And there's Ruth McNeely, short-but is she snappy! Her main ambition is to work in either Neil's or Agnew's shoe-store. Oh yes-4 there's Marge Edmunds-better known as Peggy. When she wants to go to the show, she says, 'Hew' will go with me? and the question is already solved. Ah, here is Benny Ackerman Cpelit garconl, who, if he has his grammar done, hasn't his French. And the Burrows kids: they mustn't be left out. If one of them isn't in trouble, the other one is. One day Benny A. and Bernard B. were walking across a little bridge over a stream. When they got over, Bernard said, My! VVR made that bridge shake, didn't we? And then we have the school colours, Garnet and Gray, also Brown and Black. John Corbet-Oh! His questions would try the patience of a saint, if there were any saints around here to try the patience of. Then there is Miss Melton, who can actually do Algebra! When she has worked out, and got the answer to a question, then Miss Hooper, Clark Mowry and Miss Edmunds also have theirs done. 'Shirley Bothwell is the one who gets 100 minus the 1 in Algebra, but who would K1CdCZ76'77ZZ-C V blame her when Mr. Craig gives us questions like this, eg., If A equals the cost of a package of gum, how do you find how much money lvlarshall loses per day?

Over in one corner of IB form room are pupils copying notes, talking and amusing themselves generally. Girls rush in and out demanding if they have all their equipment, The hrst bell rings and in troops the rest of the class. Assembly knocks off part of the tirst period. Botany is quite easy Cfor someb, while Algebra considerably muddles others. Going up the dear, worn stairs some fall under the load of books but we finally get there. Latin is still more confusing. After the slaughter we stumble despairingly up to third tloor. At fourth period, Geography, we are looking very decidedly worn out. When the bell goes a great stir commences, pupils grab their books and rush out. Who is the Shirley Temple of IB who holds the P. C. I. Orchestra together by her magic violin playing? Who is it that trills blues songs like a real torch-singer in P. C. I.? Who are they that eat apples, shoot paper, play games and entice dogs to school?
