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.
