HONOURABLE MENTION WILDA SAUNDERS Princeps Alumna Down through the school years marches a line procession of middy- clad young women, P. C. I.'s head girls. This year's leader is Wilda Babs Saunders, and we all know 'hat her honoured predecessors loin with us in congratulating her, heartily agreeing with our choice. She is a diligent worker, excellent leader, good sport, and real pal. We illustrate this by pointing out that she has capably lilled two difficult positions-that of secret- ary of the G. A. A. and that of head of the circulation department of our magazine. She plays a fast, even game of basketball as for- ward, and has always earned a high scholastic standing. Good work, Babsl Keep it up. OLGA WESTBYE Princeps Alumnus A if RONALD DICK The coveted honour of Princeps Alumnus for the year 1937-38 has been awarded to Ronald Dick. This came as a climax to a long series of triumphs, for Ronald has won a first division Nicholls scholarship every year that he has been at P. C. I. While he has not taken part in any of our sports, he is an enthusiastic supporter of the teams. A musician of no mean ability, Ron's favourite pastime is thundering out Tschaikowski and Rimsky-Korsakoff on the piano. Ron is well liked by his comrades, and we congratulate him most heartily upon this signal honour. Vale, Princeps Alumne, 1937-38. H. D. AND B. J.

An able mathematician and scientist, he is well litterl for the course in Applied Science which he has chosen. We all wish Pete the best luck and success in his career. BARRIE JACK Page Seventeen

Acknowledgements In presenting the twenty-fourth edition of The Echoes we should like to mention some of the con- siderable changes which have been effected this year. The most important of these was the re-organization of The Echoes staff last fall. This was done with two objects in view: first, to make a clearer division of the duties of each student on the staff, and second, to make the number of students associated with the printing of the year-book as large as possible. Both these results were attained by the formation of a small student executive composed of an editor-in- chief and nine department editors. It was the duty or each member of this group to choose a representa- tive staff to aid in his work. We feel it a note- worthy fact that almost ninety students had some share in the labours and benefits of producing your 1037-38 school magazine. More obvious to the reader is the change to the larger size. Adoption of this size, prevalent among the larger schools of Ontario at the present time, has been under consideration for the past two or three years but it was only after careful inquiry among the students that the measure was unanimously approved by Tlze Echoes Executive. The competition in Purple Patches was as keen as ex er. It is gratifying indeed to see such interest shown by the students of our school in the literary section, and the winners of the various prizes offered by The Echoes staff may feel justifiably proud of their success. We should like to extend our welcome and thanks to Miss Muir, a newcomer to our school, who acted as chief literary supervisor. Our thanks are due also to Miss Park and Miss McBride, who acted as judges of Purple Patches along with Miss Muir, and to Miss Montgomery, Miss Thompson, and Mr. C. S. Browne, who acted as judges for the art contest. We appreciate also the very valuable aid and advice given us by Miss McGregor, as represen- tative of the Advisory Board of teachers. The Work of the typing staff, who play an important, if some- what unnoticed part, amidst the bustle of prepara- tion for printing deserved our heartiest praise. To all others, teachers and students, who took a part in creating this year's Echoes we tender our sincerest thanks. Our Twenty-Fifth An niversary Next year will mark the twenty-fifth edition of The Echoes. In closing our remarks on this vear's magazine, an edition full of trial and experiinent, we should like to wish next year's staff the greatest success in bringing out an Anniversary Year Book to mark the completion of a quarter century of success- ful student effort.
