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.
