To my Student Friends, Following my recent visit to Peterborough Collegiate, my First word is one of congratulation and thanlc- fulness for the ideal surroundings in which you are placed. Not only is your Headmaster, Dr. Kenner, an educationist of more than provincial reputation for character and scholarship, but the stall of teachers makes a worthy contribution to the enviable reputation of the School. With equipment unsurpassed in every way, and your student body coming largely from homes of refine- ment and culture, it remains For you, my young Friends, to maintain and even enhance the splendid record ol your school. Only in this way can you do your part in the upbuilding of your City and County. And then, when your door of opportunity swings open and you enter life's battle, may John Oxenham's word ring true for you all, boys and girls alilce. You can play a straight game all through, You can fight lilce a knight, For the truth and the right, These are truly great things you can do. Yours faithfully, ALBERT MATTHEWS, April 14, 1938. Lieutenant-Governor of Ontario. Pug? Nine
