Page Seven Peterborough Collegiate and Vocational School vi COLLEGIATE INSTITUTE In the Collegiate Institute pupils are prepared for entrance into the Normal Schools, the Universities, and Professional Schools. Attendance for four years, and in most cases, five, is required to complete the studies in this school. VOCATIONAL SCHOOL In the Commercial Department of the Vocational School pupils are prepared for commercial pursuits. It requires four years to obtain a Commercial Graduation Diploma. This may be obtained either through the Secretarial Course for Girls or the Accountancy Course for Boys. In addition there is a Special One Year Course in purely commercial subjects for those who have successfully completed at least three years of a regular High School course or for those who are graduates of either the Household Economics or Industrial Arts Departments. In the Industrial Arts Department of the Vocational School courses are offered in Draughting, Machine Shop Practice, Woodworking, Auto Mechanics, and Elec- tricity. In this department boys are trained for industrial pursuits. The length of the course is four years. In the Household Economics Department of the Vocational School girls are taught Sewing, Dressmaking, Millinery, Home Nursing, Home Management, Cook- ing, and Applied Art. The length of the course is four years. In each of the three departments of the Vocational School a good general education is given along with the special training in the purely vocational subjects. NIGHT CLASSES Vocational Night Classes will open in October, 1940, and will continue until March, 1941. During the past year instruction was given in Cooking, Dressmaking, Typewriting, Stenography, Bookkeeping, Woodworking, Machine Shop Practice, lndustrial and Elementary Electricity, Blue Print Reading, Machine Drawing, Auto Mechanics, Machine Design, Electro-Chenistry, Tool Design, Mathematics, Chemistry for Nurses, and Salesmanship. All the courses mentioned above have the approval of the Provincial Depart- ment of Education. IMR. D. G. H. MELTON, DR. H. R. H. KENNER, B.A., Cltairnzaoz., Board of Eclacation Prtincipayl MR. G. A.

The artist, Jim Lillico, found his inspiration in the familiar words over the Assembly Hall stage: Stand to your Work and be Wise, ' Certain of sword and pen, Who are neither children nor gods, But men in a World of men.

The Students' Council The Work of the Students' Council becomes heavier year by year as the school activities increase in number. So far this year's council has given good leadership and has made an earnest effort to carry out its election promises. The annual At Home was as usual an unquali- fied success. Mr. R. G. Corneil of the Vocational School, and Mr. H. H. Graham of the Academic School, are ably representing the Staff in an advisory capacity. Page Twelve .lottings By the Principal Attendance In September last, 1185 pupils were enrolled in the Collegiate and Vocational School. This constitutes an all time record. Twelve years ago when the Vocational Wing was added to the main building, the members of the Board of Education were severely criticized by some of the ratepayers for erect- ing such a large structure. These critics lacked vision, as is shown by the fact that our present accommodations are entirely inadequate. The classrooms are filled to capacity and the boys in the Vocational School are obliged to journey down to the South Central School at the corner of Rubidge and Sherbrooke Streets in order to take up Motor Mechanics. This entails a considerable loss of time and is by no means a help in discipline. However, there is a ray of hope for the future. The Entrance classes, in the city at least, are smaller than usual and it may be that we have reached the peak so far as attendance is con- cerned. Welcome We welcome to our staff Miss Mary Kirk- wood, B.A., an honour graduate of Toronto University and a Specialist in Household Science. Miss Kirkwood is a graduate of the Peterborough Collegiate and Vocational School, and was the Princeps Alumna in the year 1931. She will assist in the Household Arts depart- ment in the Vocational School. Bravo Echoes Barbara Scott and Franklin Smoke together with Miss Helen McGregor of the teaching staff attended the annual High School editors' con- vention held in Toronto in February. These Echoes' enthusiasts were privileged to hear some very complimentary remarks about their school's magazine. They also had the pleasure of bringing home the Sigma Phi trophy emblematic of the 1939 award for the best editorial section in any High School magazine in the province. In this connection Barrie Jack was referred to by one of the judges as an individual writer whose work helped to elevate the literary section of his school's magazine to a higher- than-average plane. Furthermore the second prize in the Mac- millan Company's award for the best High School short story in the province was present- ed to the writer of a story in The Echoes The Incredible Anecdote of the Vanished Moravian . Last year's Editor-in-Chief was Miss Ruth Robinson. She and her assistants are deserving of high praise. ' 'f .1 I, Sf Q , . Mi :A. . .. Q x K U - ' i t 1Y-' ' ' Q sam Y 3 Y 'Y , 5 in Q..

How many times, in Morning Assembly, have we read these beautiful lines above th e proscenium arch and paid little attention to them? But now in wartime these words of Rudyard Kipling take on a deeper significance for each of us. We may think there is little we can do to help our country because we are at school, but it is because we are at school that we are important. Stand to your work and be wise may well be interpreted carry on your school work and your other activities to the best of your ability. Carry on should be our motto, for is that not what every Canadian did in the last war. Everyone of us should do his best, his very best, that he may be well equipped to do his part, tirst in winning the present conflict, and later in helping restore the world to normal conditions. Of course there are practical things that the students of P.C.V.S. can do to help win this war. Red Cross work is especially important. Many a girl in P.C.I. has already turned the heel on numerous pairs of socks. Many others have knit sleeveless sweaters, and fingerless mitts for the Air Force. Even a beginner can do her part and start knitting wristlets. The work of the students is greatly appreciated at the Red Cross Rooms in the Public Library, but there are always more socks to be knit, more dressings to be made, more boxes to be packed. If more students would give their time the Red Cross would be assisted and we would be doing our bit even though still at school. Whether we know anyone who is on active service or not, we can always pack boxes to bring comfort and pleasure to our men. We can always save old magazines for our sailors in Halifax who are waiting for their ships to be convoyed or perhaps to act as convoys. A very little effort on our part may bring pleasure and relaxation to men anxious and weary. We should all buy British products. Let us get into the habit of making certain that our purchase is from some part of the British Em- pire. Let the shopkeepers know that British products are preferred. This is important. By buying British we may do our bit to keep British factories busy and British funds in circulation. Page Fourteen When war has broken out there is only one thing to do-win it. But of what use is winning it if every succeeding generation must exhaust itself in the same way? It will be up to our generation to find a lasting peace. To accom- plish this we must start thinking now of the future. We should' study closely the peace treaties of the past to see where they succeeded and why they failed. Then we must go on and make a peace that will truly end war for all time. With this thought in mind let each of us read Kipling's words again, feeling the deeper mean- ing and vow that we shall, in truth, Hstand to our work and be wise . B.aRB.A.1u SCOTT Acknowledgments This year enthusiasm for The Echoes reached a new peak, due partly to the winning of The Sigma Phi Trophy. This interest made the work of preparing The Echoes easier than usual. We should like to thank Dr. Kenner and the teaching staff for their kind interest and co- operation. We should also like to thank the student body as a whole, but especially those who con- tributed to the literary, art, and photography contests. We offer our sincere thanks to the judges of these contests: Mr. Hale, Miss Park, Miss McBride, Miss Thompson, Mr. Browne, and Mr. Henry. The Art Staff is specially deserving of men- tion. They worked very hard and in a very short time accomplished a great deal. The members of the Advisory Board have given much of their time and energy to The Echoes. Those mentioned above acted as judges in our contests, and the others have done no less in their own sphere. Mr. Toole, the Business Supervisor, has always been very encouraging and has helped us try out new ideas as we wanted to do. Thanks to Miss Lees, Mr. Shearer, and the advertising staff we are able to publish as large a magazine as in former years. To Miss Mc- Gregor who is in charge of printing, we offer a special vote of thanks for all she has done for The Echoes in making it the magazine it is today. BARBARA Scori- John Buchan, Lord Tweedsmuir, 1875-1940 On the day Lord Tweedsmuir, Governor- General of Canada, visited our city in 1938. we students were present to be inspired by his chaste oratoryg and then there was added to that idolatry we had for him as an author, the respect, felt rather than worded, that people reserve for the supreme forms of greatness. There is around all great men, as he himself has told in writing of Montrose, an aura of excel- lence which is like the air of consecration men attach to vessels: with the difference that this light of a great man comes always from within, being no false splendour wrought in the minds of his worshippers. No man is appreciated until he is dead, and after his death his own generation overpraises him. It remains for posterity to find the true judgment. Yet Lord Tweedsmuir cannot suffer with time, for the honour we bear him is simply this: that he was a Christian gentleman consecrated to duty and achievement, that he distinguished himself in far-Hung spheres of activity, and that so much did he influence those who lived around him in the World. that his memory shall not perish among their descendants. He is known to millions as John Buchan, and it is as John Buchan that he will be remember- ed. He knew great men intimately, of the past as well as of his own times. Scott he loved, Cromwell he honoured, Augustus he praised, Montrose he revered, to the writing of their lives he brought that spark of genius that burned within himself, and those biographies will stand while the men that inspired them are remembered. Always he wrote of heroes, he never alto- gether relaxed a weary mind, but turned it instead to other work: to writing. And the heroes he dreamed to himself, Dick Hannay. Ned Leithen, Dickson McCunn, and most of all per- haps old Peter Pienaar, display themselves not in heroics but in heroism, for he knew in his soul the essence of the hero, that he do great deeds with naturalness. His fifty novels gladden the plain man as much as his dozen biographies attract the scholar, and the scholar himself turns to them for relaxation. No man probably in modern letters has so delighted such hosts of readers, or has done them as little harm. A great num- ber of his novels will in time perish, but not in our time, and a tithe of them will remain to be his memorial. The writing, by which he touched the people around him most, was but one of many activities. He was private secretary to Lord Milner in South Africa, during the trying days that followed the Boer War. In the British Navy, he was a member of the Headquarters Staff, and Director of Information. He served 5 His Excellency at Peterborough, May, as Lord High Commissioner to the Church of Scotland in 1933 and 1934. a position once occupied by our present King. During much of this time he was active partner in Nelson's Publishing House: he wrote, read, planned. edited, and invested continually. His was a strenuous life spent moving in high placesg yet he was himself the son of a lowly Scottish manse. In the year that he be- came Governor-General, he was created Baron Tweedsmuir of Eltield: yet it is more true to say that he wasuborn great than that he had greatness thrust upon him. The ultimate springs of nobility he probed in The Path of the King- We tell ourselves that Shakespeare was the son of a wool-peddler, Napoleon of a farm- er, and Luther of a peasant, and hold up our hands at the marvel. But who knows what kings and prophets they had in their ancestry! There is reserved for him an epitaph taken from a book that he loved, and applied by him to that one of his fiction heroes whom perhaps he honoured most highly, it tells of the passing of Mr. Valiant-for-Truth. fContinued on Nerf Pagej Page Fifteen if' 1938 t'Then he said, 'I am going to my Father's, and though with great difiiculty I am got hither, yet now do I not repent of all the trouble I have been at to arrive where I am. My sword I give to him that shall succeed me in my pilgrimage, and my courage and skill to him that can get it. My marks and scars I carry with me, to be a Witness for me, that I have fought his battles who now will be my re- warder' . . . So he passed over, and all the trumpets sounded for him on the other side. Hum KENNER lntramural Sports Last fall the Garnet and Gray senior rugby team won their group and proceeded as far as the finals with Port Colborne. What kind of team will we have in 1940? Maybe you think that is too far away to worry about. But let me say unless there are a good many promising junior players coming along, prospects do not look very bright. Every year the school loses talent through players graduating, passing over the age limit, or this year, enlisting. Thus our ranks are greatly depleted. The same situation may be true for our senior boys' and senior girls' basketball teams. Also consider the abundance of hockey players in the school who, this year, were unable to play in any organized group because the City League did not function. Now don't these facts show that we need a general reorganization of sports in the school so as to incorporate more students who would play if they had the chance, and others who are just a bit timid about trying out for the school teams. Other schools throughout Gntario have drop- ped their interscholastic activities and are con- centrating on intramural sports. A very fine chance has been afforded by the introduction, in the last few years, of six-man rugby teams. Several teams could be selected and this type of game would allow more boys to participate as only five alternates are carried with each team. There are two possible methods of organizing competition within the school. The first is the customary one fused extensively by the Girls' Athletic Association of P.C.V.S.l of pitting one form against another-the winners, for ex- ample XI A over XI C, to meet the Fourth Form victors. Now some may laugh and say that that would be no match at all, but a bigger and more experienced team has been beaten before this by a youthful, fighting aggregation working in perfect harmony. A second plan might also be considered. Let the Boys' Athletic Association and the Girls' Athletic Association choose a certain number, say twenty students, from the senior forms as Page Sixteen captains. Then these twenty students, ten girls and ten boys, could meet separately and select the teams from the lower grades of the school. In this way the ability of the players on differ- ent teams might loe equalized. This scheme could apply to any of the many sports, rugby, basketball, hockey, badminton, volleyball, soft- ball, table tennis, and track and field, now being carried on in P.C.V.S. The two associa- tions mentioned previously could act as mediators in disputes, draw up schedules, help organize teams, and make sports an interesting and enjoyable pastime. The large enrolment of pupils presents a fine opportunity for introduc- ing intramural sports. In such an undertaking as this, time must be found for the games to be played under suit- able supervision. It might be possible to en- trust upper school students with the task of overseeing the students or it might be neces- sary to require the teachers' services to see that everything is carried out smoothly. This might easily be a deciding factor in the success or failure of the scheme. We have just laid the bare foundation in the hope that some club or group in the school will see it through to a successful finish and give the students a new deal in school sports. There is no doubt about this school's liking for sports, and this innovation might be popular with the whole student body. FRANKLIN SMOKE Modern Youth Chooses a High School Course Dear Modern Youth, Let's have a heart-to-heart talk! We of Form Five, who have profited by years of bitter ex- perience, will endeavour to solve your most serious and perplexing problem. For what problem is more serious and perplexing than that of choosing an extra-curricular activity? Our first word is this. Turn a deaf ear to the trivial discussions concerning the merits of Academic, Commercial, Household, and Indus- trial Arts. What's the difference whether you write Shorthand or Greek hieroglyphics? What you do from four to six is what counts. The framing of your character and your health de- pend upon that. Leave out extra-curricular work and your education lacks the most valu- able part. To guide you, Grade Niners, who are confronted with this baffling problem, we worthy sages suggest several possibilities. Do you imagine yourselves awing your audiences in the part of a crafty MacBeth, or a shrewish Catherine? Then your course is clear. Join the Dramatic Club and learn the necessary arts of looking sad, happy, angry, terrified, triumphant, or desolate at a moment's notice fvery important for girlsb. During the play session, don't bother about homework, which fatigues the brain when you need it most. Even Browning says that over in- dulgence in deep thought swells the brain to an unnatural size. Put first things first-re- member, dramatics is your callingenever for- get that! Now, if you should fancy journalism, keep your fingers crossed and hope that some editor will be kind enough to invite you to be on The Echoes staff. Memorize the dictionary and know where the periods and commas go. But above all, be prepared to withstand hunger and fatigue during the long winter session in The Echoes Office. When you emerge from a lengthy executive session, you will have gained the endurance of a marathon runner! lf you shudder at the grotesque contortions of a candid camera maniac and even more at the terrifying results, fight that inferiority complex! Join the Camera Club and become the fiend yourself. Fight him with his own weapons and show him how he looks. Or better still, join the Fencing Club and learn how to avenge yourself. The valuable experience you might gain by a year on the Students' Council will fit you leaders of tomorrow for coping with govern- ment situations. Lengthy arguments deciding such problems as whether the Dark Room needs a new light, will develop your powers of oratory. lf you want to build up your somewhat doubtful constitution and at the same time help to wear down our venerable institution, join a Basketball team. When the four o'clock bell rings for practice, hop into your shorts and race up and down the stairs and along the halls at eighty miles an hour, playing follow the leader. Now for you who need to catch up on your sleep, there is the rugby team. Joining this gives you a good excuse to go to bed at nine o'clock, homework done or not. lt even gives you an excuse for sleeping from nine to four in the day time, Your teachers will always realize the superiority of rugby over Latin. There is the added consolation for you rugby heroes, that when you have completed your course in High School rugby, there will cer- tainly be some one to support such handsome healthy lads as you in college. If you can get in! ln case you have not already chosen your course from those which we have mentioned, there is still Badminton, the Glee Club, Orches- tra, or even that peak of musical harmony, the Bugle Band. And if none of these occupations interests you, we suggest you take the Special Latin or French classes-or join the Foreign Legion! MAR.u.IN Mrxnu Axim NIARG.-Xlil'l'I' Wrzsrsrs.

Dv ,lrfv Poeticzl, Often to weiglity enterprises and such as profess great Uli.i1'f'lS. one or two purple patches are sewn on to make ai fine display in the distance. The heading Purple Patches has become very familiar to us. What exactly does it mean? By applying the quotation from Horace, we see that the weighty enterprises are sections of the magazine such as School News and Form News. The Purple Patches sewn on only to make a fine display in the dis- tance are the literary contributions. When Mr. Morris suggested the name perhaps he intended a subtle hint that this department is not read widely enough by students. The 1940 Purple Patches upholds the stand- ard of its predecessors and may even surpass Turns and The Stranger. The first is light and comical, the second historical. To our know- ledge it is the first time plays have been Printed in The Echoes. Special mention might be made too of the excellent senior short stories. Due to lack of space one or two which merited printing were omitted. Another new feature is the Junior Literary Section for Grades IX and X. This year the work of the juniors will not suffer by immediate compari- son with that of the seniors. At the Sigma Phi Convention in Toronto. Hugh Kenner won a prize for his story in the 1939 edition of The Echoes and Barrie Jack won honourable mention for his work. This year we have fine contributions from these boys. The work in Purple Patches is well done and worth while taking time to read. Look over the next twenty-odd pages and see for your- it. There are two plays this year. The Wor'm selves.

The big car rolled silently down the cobbled street of Wutach and turned up the little ascent past the church which fronted on the village square. Wutach was quite dark at eleven o'clock in the evening, Anton nodded, and switching the lights off, turned the big car into the shadows of the lindens by the drive.

He buttoned twin beams glimmered J f ' e for an instant on the ' aff' 1 ' frightened, paralyzed form of a hare-before the big wheels of the car crushed the life out of it. It is doubtful if any one of the four men noticed it, or noticed the date on the calendar pad which swung from the instrument panel, for in war there is little time for frightened winter hares on frosty country roads, or for Christmas, or any other of the holidays so dear in times of peace. And so the big car breasted the rise of the hill above Wutach, and, for a moment, across the valley, clear and black against the twinkling stars in the frosty sky, rose the black bulk of the old Nordenwerk-and they noticed that, for, during the past months, since the defeat at Caporetto, more than one Italian prisoner had escaped, and had been passed through here on his way to Switzerland. They were quite silent as the car covered the last miles-silent and grim, these four men, all staring with hard bleak eyes at the bulk of the building steadily growing nearer. Some- where a cock crowed. Oneqof the men swore explosively, and for a time the tension relaxed. Only three o'clock, one said, in winter the cocks crow any time. You know these roads well, Anton? Quite well, excellenziaj' said the other in a rather bitter tone, quite well. Yes, he might well know these roads, this Anton von Essandorf, for in the old days he had often played here, when he was only Anton Bucher, when the people in the Nordenwerk had passed him by with a sneer, although he was a true-born German, and everyone knew the Nordenwerkers to be partly Italian, and with Italian sympathies. Anton, if you leave the car here, in the trees, said one, perhaps you could go on ahead and look things over. llc slzrank hucff unfl flrezl' his .si1f'm'wl lllflllscl' from his por-fret. - e his coat higher against T ' the cold, as he crept up by the fountains, now frozen hard, and noted th e weeds in the pools, and the dead grass between the paving blocks. Evidently Nordenwerk had not known such prosperous times of late. Then he was under the lighted windows of what he knew was the smaller dining room, and peering in through the frost on the glass. Within, there were four men sitting, one in Italian uniform, all with Italian features and all apparently quite happy, though their faces looked pinched and tired. In the corner was a Christmas tree, with candles and tinsel, and whom, beside it was Marquerite, Marguerite in the old days, he had known and-no, the Austrian official told himself sternly, loved. and his eyes left her to rest on no, not the old mother with Marguerite's child on her knees- with a Marguerite's and Otto's, he thought sudden pang. The thought drove the anger and hatred in him deeper and deeper into his soul, and he turned away from the window and back to the car. In the shrubbery he paused. His quick, trained ears had heard steps behind him on the frosty grass. He shrank back behind a low juniper, and drew his silenced Mauser from his pocket. Then his heart gave a great leap, and for a moment his revolver wobbled as he raised it to cover the figure of Marguerite on the grass. Come out of there at once, or I shall shoot, her voice said, clearly and sharply, and Anton watched her breath rising white against the night sky, and his heart pounded furiously on his ribs. Then his knuckles grew white on the revolver, and he grew strangely dizzy as a male figure rose from the shrubs a little wav to the left, a male figure in the uniform of an Austrian private soldier, with his arms raised above his head.

The only cridence of an adjoining house, is a wall, LEFT, and a short flight of cement steps. At the front is an iron fence separating the garden from the street. It is a Very nice garden, and may be arranged as desired. The curtain opens to disclose a young girl sitting disconsolately on the steps.

Anus It was purely by chance that Jim Bradburn and I received information which ultimately averted a great tragedy. All through our adventure we were favoured with phenomenal luck and it seemed we could do nothing wrong. There is a small restaurant in this suburb of Dover where we went every afternoon for a cup of tea. Usually we occupied a table which overlooked the sea and from which the distant coast of France could be seen on clear days. However, on this particular day we sat at a table in a little alcove. A short, dark gentle- man rose from a table near the door, sauntered over to us, and handed me a heavily sealed envelope. Nice day for business, isn't it? he said breezily. Of course I wasn't going to spoil the good man's opinion, so I replied in a secretive way, Well yes, if one knows what one is about! He smiled a fat, oily smile like an Eskimo and went back to his table. I am a great believer in Time. Of course we could have grabbed our hats and coats and hastily departed to see what Fortune, or Fate, had meted out to us, but instead, under cover of a heated argument on the merits and faults of the Versailles Treaty, we tried to find out the cause of the mistake. Our cutlery had not become displaced accidentally and given him a sign, our hats and coats were not in a strange position, there was nothing out of the ordinary in our posture at the table, I could not re- member having unconsciously used a manner- ism to give him any cue. Evidently it was my likeness to the person who should have re- ceived the letter which had caused the mes- senger to make the error. The time was forty- seven minutes past four on a Thursday after- noon. After another cup of tea, we went to my apartment to examine the letter. Little did we know what work lay ahead of us! That letter was all in code. I have an ac- quaintance who spends all his spare time de- coding those silly messages in detective magazines, so we took the message to him. Next morning he brought his results. They read as follows: Your work so far has been excellent. Hovv- ever. there is still information which is ab- solutely necessary if we are to carry out our plan to mine the entire fortifications of Dover. How far below the ground floor do the am- munition magazines extend in section F7 Your pay will be twenty pounds. Leave the information with the messenger at your next meeting.-J. Well,,' said Jim with the air of a man who had successfully completed a hard and dang- erous task, c'I'm glad J likes our work. Who is the master mind? We assumed that the person who should have received the message had been unavoid- ably detained. The death notices in the papers could perhaps give us a clue. There were several prospects-a prominent social bene- factor, a military police colonel, and a man killed by an army lorry in the repair shops. The hospital gave no hint as to the identity of the agent, so, as a last resort, we inquired at all the doctors' offices, and there our search was ended. Doctor Ingleston was treating an artiiicer who had crushed his hand while load- ing shells. The unsuspecting doctor graciously told us the officer's name-Mister Wilson-and his next appointment. It was half past three on Saturday afternoon. Next it was necessary to verify the fact that it was my likeness to the agent which misled the messenger. Just before the zero hour Jim waited in the office as a patient. He had a small cut which we made into a gory mess by applying a patent medicine, guaranteed by the maker to cure corns, stiff and sore muscles, over- indulgence, small cuts and bruises, and dand- ruff. The ruse worked wonderfully-so well in fact that the doctor lanced his finger and ordered him to bed! Wilson looked so much like me that the doctor got us mixed and then tried to explain to the suspicious Wilson that I had been making inquiries about him. Surely the spy would realize what was happening. give an alarm and depart. It was apparent that we must work fast. The time had come to learn more of the organization of the gang and its leader. Qur only way seemed to try to bluff Wilsonhinto giving us information. Jim got me a pair of horn-rimmed glasses and a false moustache and drove over to Wilson's address.

I could hear the pounding hoofs more dis- tinctly now and, pausing to cast a terrified look behind me, I saw that the huge, black horse was gaining on me. Only one more block and I'd be home. Ah yes! That's our number. I rushed up the steps and into the houseg now that big, black, red-eyed devil couldn't get me. Almost instantaneously with this thought there came a terrifying crash and a splintering of wood at the front door. Above this barrage of sound came a blood-curdling neigh that could only come from the chest of a crazed horse. With a cry of terror I sprang up from the couch into which I had collapsed and began to pile chairs and tables up against the door which led from the living room into the hall. As I rushed into the adjoining room to get the kitchen stove I could hear the sharp hooves shattering the Hoor boards in the hall. I grab- bed the stove and ran back into the living room where I planted it, still smoking, on the top of the chesterfield. fTake it easy now, mother! It was only a dreamj Just as I was stooping to pick up the quarter I had lost three years ago, there came the sound of rending wood and glancing hooves mingled with the bellicose scream of the horse. With palpitating heart I peeked timidly through the keyhole but was nearly blinded by the glaring eyes of the monster which was peering in at me. It started to laugh horribly, its glossy sides quivering in an ecstacy of triumph. You can't get away, it snarled. I waited for no more, but snatching the quarter off the sofa I ran for the stairs. When I got about half-way up I suddenly realized that I had forgotten to switch on the escalator and so I dashed down into the cellar and turned it on. While I was down there I decided to split the kindling for Gramp. The old chap would appreciate that. As I was climbing back up the cellar steps I paused to listen and above the rattle of the street cars I could barely distinguish the rasp- ing voice of the horse and the sibilant whisper of Boris Karloff as they conversed out in the - ff, X Qc Q bg 5 be BJ 1 could .see flu' f1or.se'.s flvufl 6'llIl'I'fjiIlff from the iff'-ljllUlf'.H hall. The horse seemed in favour of breaking in the door with his forefeet but at this sug- gestion Boris went into a furious tirade which he concluded by saying that the landlord wouldn't like it anyway. I mounted the re- maining cellar steps in a bound and as I dashed into the living room I could see the horse's head emerging from the keyhole and the green hand of Karloff squeezing through the crack under the door. The only place left to hide in now was the attic. I scrambled up the stairs, screaming at the top of my voice, and pulling the steps up after me so as to impede the progress of the two awful demons who were following me. As I was packing the last step away in its allotted space in my bureau drawer the horse appeared on the landing at the foot of the stairs. With pounding heart I shinnied up the tree leading into the attic and as I climbed I could hear the vicious snorts of the horse and feel his hot breath on my ankles. I leaped from the top limb of the tree on to the attic floor and ran for the widow, determined to leap to my death rather than be crushed under those flailing hoofs. I pulled myself up on to the window ledge and stepped off into space. As I fell I could feel the wind snatching at my trouser legs and looking far down into the dimly lighted street CCo'nti11ued on Page 873 Page T'zve11ty-five Q A . , ,twain w 1. -- A .

CURTAIN Frost by MARJORIE FOSTER, SP. com. Frost-crystal, sparkling diamonds on the branches, on the wires, on the sidewalk, on the bare, cold ground and on the window panes in dazzling patterns. In the little grey house at the end of the street, Mary gazed sleepily on her frosted window pane, then shivered and reluctantly slid out of bed. Why did she have to be born in this cold country-why not in the South Sea Islands or Africa? A thousand thoughts rushed to her mind. How could she live through a winter and support her younger, invalid brother? This was her first winter alone since her mother had died. A few minutes later she hurried into the tiny adjacent living room, where Danny spent his long days and nights on a couch by the window. A small, pale-faced boy with tousled dark curls lay with his face resting in the cup of his hand. He looked happy, but his wide blue eyes held a fanciful and strangely wistful expression as he gazed at the window. beautiful in its frosty patterns. He looked at his sister as she entered the room, a worried frown on her face. Why, Mary, aren't you happy? Look What's happened in the night, Frostdia has come back! Mary looked at him with surprise and some- thing of fright. Oh, dear Heaven, surely his head wasn't becoming affected! What was he talking about? Seeing she didn't understand, he hurried on to explain. Oh, you don't know about Frostdia and Princess Crystal. Well, she's Queen of Frostdia on the Window Pane. That's the name of the country I made up. Don't you see all the wonderful castles and trees and flowers in her land. She only lets me visit her country in the winter and then I have such fun with Slumber Song by MARY WAHE, nv A Ac. Let thy dear head rest upon my breast While sleep do lull thee, Let thine eyelids close in calm repose And in mine arms I'll fold thee. Let thine eyes of brown, in slumber drown, CAnd, soft curls. llll caress thee.J Thou'lt sleep as deep as fairies sleep. So tenderly I'll bless thee. - As he rushed on breathlessly, with flushed cheeks and shining eyes, practical Mary decid- ed she had been letting him read too many books, which Miss Keys was forever sending over from the district library. Yet, the frost pat- terns did look rather like castles and flowers when one looked at them long enough, so she smiled her gay smile at him and ran over to kiss him impulsively. When she was leaving, he refused to be moved from the draughty window and begged her not to make the room too warm lest his Frostdia disappear. As she went out of the door he called after her as always, Good luck! but added, Re- member, Princess Crystal brings good luck. Passing the Employment Bureau, when she got down town, she went in, on an impulse, just to see if her name had moved up any on the list. What was her joy when the woman at the desk said: Well, Miss Lamont, I am glad you came in. I have a position which, I think, will suit you. A young writer, Mr. Michael Whitney, wants a girl with typing experience to help him prepare his manu- scripts. I thought of you at once.

Death Toll Mounts as Floods and Flames Sweep City f'Lights Out! , sounded the alarm sirens at 2:15 o'clock this morning, warning citizens of the approach of enemy bombers. 'LSeek bomb- proof shelters! Don gasmasks! was the mes- sage given by the radio-car touring the streets. Then, darkness covered everything. The whine of bombs, the screams of the wounded, and the cries of the terror-stricken people filled the night air. The enemy must have been well- informed as to the lay-out of the city. Coming from the west they rained bombs over the residential district, then opened fire on the Canadian General Electric Company. Moving on, they completely demolished the Raybestos Plant. Fire broke out in the down-town sec- tion as exploding bombs burst into flames. Flood waters swept over Ashburnham and the south end of the city, raising the already heavy death toll. C.G.E. and Raybestos Plants First The Canadian General Electric Plant, along with the Raybestos Company, used since the beginning of the war as two of the most im- portant munition factories, were first in the line of attack. The thousands of workers, working against time to make munitions for our soldiers, were buried beneath the huge piles of twisted steel and crumpled brick. Scarcely ten minutes after the alarm sounded, the enemy struck. Thrown into confusion by the cry, Lights out! Air Raid! the workers had no chance to gain the bomb-proof cellars. Few escaped death. A list of the deaths will be posted on the bulletin board. Search parties are probing the ruins to find the bodies. Heavy Floods as Dam is Bombed The bombing of the London Street Dam, let loose a torrent of swirling flood waters, that swept over the Quaker Power Plant and the supply of electricity for the Quaker Oats Company was entirely cut off. The names of the four victims of the disaster have not been ascertained. The debris, caused by the des- truction of Hunter Street Bridge served to check the torrent of water to some extent, but the south end of the city was completely flood- ed, adding greatly to the number killed. Fire Brealcs Out as Bomb Explodes Gasometers An unknown hero saved probably thousands of lives by his quick thinking. At the sound of the alarm sirens, he shut off the gas-line lead- ing to the underground pipes which go to the Page Twenty-eight homes. Had fire started in these the whole city would have been blown up. As it was, the fire and explosion was confined to the gas- ometers. Several were killed in this disaster, and many were left homeless as the force of the explosion caused houses to topple. Every pane of glass in the Quaker Oats Company, and the surrounding houses was shattered. This factory received other damages, none serious, when Hunter Street Bridge was hit. Hospitals and City Buildings Escape Fortunately both hospitals escaped. At the Hrst sounds of alarm they had prepared for the attack by moving all patients into the base- ment or to the first floor, and by extinguishing all lights. The city buildings were also un- touched. The enemy seemed mostly concerned with the munition factories. The cost of the damage has not yet been established, but it is estimated it will run to at least 33,000,000 Peace, Be Still by DONALD WARNE, v A Ac. The storm is upon us,', cried Peter in fear, As the ship sailed Galilee o'erg The hold is fast filling, called Luke from below, While waves dashed round with a roar. The tempest still rose and the winds blew loud, And the sinking ship roughly was rockedg 'tWe're lost, moaned the tired atnd frantic crew, You're lost, the mighty winds mocked. Where is our Master? asked one of them then. At the back on a pillow asleep, He careth neither if winds harass, Nor if waves o'er our barque do sweep. Indignant, they rushed to the hinder part And on their Saviour did frown, Bearing Him glances and words of reproach: Carest Thou not if we drown? Oh why are ye fearful, ye faithless men, Who have neither prayer nor will? Then rose this matchless Creator of earth And called to the waves, Be still. 'Neath a clear, blue sky lay a limpid sea, The whole earth with birds' songs rang, And joining in chorus triumphant and free, Peace, be still, men and nature sang. My Dream by JIM HARVEY, V A AC. My Dream is like the morning light, That pierces the mighty gloom, That severs the vale of sullen night. That stirs the lark to lofty flight, And bans the silvery moon. My Dream has the breath of spring-time. With tresses of golden hue. With cheeks the shade of mellow wine, And dimpled lips of a smile divine, My one beloved You. Unfinished Business by HUGH KENNER, IV A AC. The first day they entrusted me with a pair of crutches. I set out on a hobbling discovery- tour of all the hospital grounds, as indeed would any fighting man who had been four months laid up with his right leg full of lead, and was now at last allowed to go forth and learn over again the use of the left one. After crossing the big lawn and encountering several of my Maginot comrades who were likewise taking the air, I came to a small structure like a green- house, roofed with glass panes overgrown with ivy, and containing, so I could see through the open door, four beds, two of them empty. Of the occupants of the other two, one was asleep with his arm lying in a cast on the counterpane in front of him, the other, red-eyed and full- bearded, was wide awake, as was proved by the fact of his sitting propped up on two pillows and carolling unto heaven some witless ballad about a soup-tureeng whereby was the obliv- iousness of the sleeper made manifest, for he stirred not a whit, though the roof-panes rang. Now most of the men upon whose company you are thrown in a war-hospital are spiritless and overmuch haunted by the dulling memory of bursting shells, so hoping for some better amusement I crossed the threshold and con- fronted the singer. The soup-tureen was dropped in mid-stave, and two hot eyes were turned upon me. Maginot? asked he, observing my trussed- up leg. At Chatrussef' I replied. In the second week, too. I got mine at Malapertn, returned he. We had precious fun there, Alf and I. Old Adolf himself was visiting those parts. Near kid- napped him, we did, him with all his bloody guard around him. I was visibly astonished to hear of the Fuehrer visiting the battle-line. You don't believe it? Well, I'll tell you all about it, for I was there. Alf and I, we got old Adolf half-way across No-Man's Land in a wheelbarrow, that November morning. That's Alf there, he explained indicating the sleeper. Seeing that I was in for a yarn, I sat on the foot of his cot, disposed my crutches beside Qigxgilagpfjand And the mad tale he told me, bade him begin. which you may believe or may not as you pre- fer. was in this wise: This Alf here Cgiving the sleeper a prodl was discharged from a sappers' company as a bloody all-round nuisance, and since men were too scarce to be lost, they saved themselves shipping him home by wishing him on 57th Gunners'. Well, Alf was a clever inventive fellow. and before the week was out he had altogether persuaded the sergeant that we de- served to lose the war if we didn't try one of his crack-pot schemes- The Sniper's Friend? he called it. And because that sergeant and I were always sort of friendly, Cthis word with terrible emphasisl, he picked me to have the honour of trying it out. Well, sir, I won't weary you with all the preparations, for they went off right enoughg but the game wound up with me and my rifle at two 0' the morning standing inside an artificial hollow tree in the middle of the Flanders mud, waiting for dawn to break so we could start our little private circus, which was to be a day's round of sniping from twenty- yards with Fritz never knowing where the bullets were coming from. All at once the moon slipped out from under the clouds, and I saw a German sentry near by staring at the stars and dreaming. I was getting tired and thought I would pick him off at onceg but first I determined to edge just a mite closer, for I was a poor shot and a most senseless choice for a job of this kind. Just as I started to walk, carrying the tree with me, I saw the sentry take a long pull out of a flaskg this annoyed me exceedingly, for we-'d heard all along that the Germans had only muddy water to sustain them. As he licked his lips he looked right at me, and never batted an eye to see my tree come ten paces nearer him: I thought that if German rum was as powerful as that I'd better investigate it for myself. So closer I came, and then a bit closer still, Fritz never making a move but plying the fiask again and all of a sudden my tree-door was open and I was in the trench knocking him cold with my Page Twenty-nine gun-butt. Then I picked up the flask, but of course. such being my luck, it was empty. Then I thought I'd have a look for some more, so I took my rifle in both hands like a club and started off down the trench, I beaned two sentries from behind, but that wasn't much fun, so I decided to pop into the first door I saw. It was at the end of that angle of the trench, and it led into a little room with a writ- ing table, a clothes-press, and a cot, some general's haunt. I crept under the bed and awaited the proprietor. I was just rubbing my first cramp, when a light entered, and two voices with itg one was foreign and raucous, one much softer, both spoke my mother-English! I wriggled along the floor a bit, and peeped out. There was old Adolf himself, just as I'd always imagined him, cookie-duster and all, and there was that good- for-nothing Alf! They were arguing about rum and prices, and pretty soon I understood-Alf had been filching rum-cases from our supply- dumps for sale to the enemy! He must have been at it a long time, for he was wrangling with der Fuehrer himself. After a bit Adolf went out after money, leaving Alf there alone. I crept out from under the bed, and hissed You rotter! pretty sharply in his ear. He let out a yell like a trapped fox, -and when he recognized me he started begging me not to tell the C.O. if I got backg which l promised him on condition that held help me tie up Adolf for shipment and bring him home alive. He saw what heroes thatld make us, and agreed promptly enoughg but then we struck the first snag, for if we were going to bring Adolf home, we'd need something to cart him in. It was Alf saved the day. He stuck a bit of comb on to his lip, and brushed his hair down, for with one of the uniforms in the clothes- QContinuecl on Page 935 Wind, Sand and Stars by Antoine St. Exupery Reviewed by sauztev Asasv, nv B Ac. Sometimes one reads a book, not because of any real interest in the author's work, but because the critics and those who ought to know have given very enthusiastic accounts of it. I was fortunate enough to read 'tWind, Sand and Stars, by the French aviator author of Night Flight, before I had heard its praises sung by others, and thus was able to gather my own impressions. One might expect a book by such a highly trained airman to tell of various iiights in the enthralling style of a railway timetable, but instead, it is full of passages of indescribable beauty. No one with a spark of imagination would hurry over his chapter on the Elements in which he recounts his battle with a cyclone off the Argentinian coast. No adjectives would be descriptive enough to acclaim his artistry in telling of his night flight among the milliion pin-pricks by which his course was charted. My own vocabulary is pitifully inadequate when I try to describe my impression of this book, so I can convey it best by quoting one of the passages which captured my interest: At that rate of speed, the impalpable erldies of evening air drum softly on the -wings, and the plane seems to be drilling its way into a qzzifvering crystal so delicate that the wake of a passing swallow would jar it to bits. Winter's Retreat by SIEWART BROWN, x A Ac. Y, ,,,, ,, . . .. Z Page Thirty JUNIOR LITERARY SECTION Wintefs Wonderland by Joyce GALLAGHER, H. ARTS x There is something about the Winter beauty of Jackson Park that is very impressive and awe-inspiring. One cold frosty afternoon, a friend and I decided to go for a tramp through its winding paths. Upon entering this park we were immediately struck by the very silence and vast loneliness of the place or perhaps it was the grandeur of the great snow-laden coniferous trees that impressed us. The only sound that penetrated the intense quiet was the occasional twittering of a sparrovv overhead, or now and then the cawing of crows in some far- off corner of the park. Rounding a bend in the road, we presently encountered the familiar old Japanese bridge, native to Jackson Park. At the same time we noticed the artificial lake, which drained of its water, resembled some- what a small canyon with the snow sifting in on all sides. Leaving this section of the park, we made our way over the glistening hard-packed snow to the more elevated regions. Here we mounted one of those small hills, so popular with skiers. A Snowflake by DOROTHY THORPE, IX I Dainty little snowflake Graceful as a swan Floating through the atmosphere From sunset until dawn. Welcome, little snowflake, Piling into drifts Making all the skiers glad By filling in the riftsg Covering all the tree-tops With soft fluffy down, Giving each and every branch A soft and lacy gown. Carefree little snowflake, How I envy you, Fluttering so aimlessly U With not a thing to do. Gazing up and down its wooded aisles carpeted in white, we were reminded of an immense cathedral, where one could almost kneel and pray at any of those snow-covered stumps so much like altars in their purity and whiteness. Finally We turned our attention to the creek. blissfully which so fascinated us by its ever gurgling water flowing swiftly over the rocks that line its bed. Lost in admiration we wand- ered aimlessly along the bank for perhaps a mile or so. Slowly retracing our steps homeward, we fully realized after one last backward glance at Jackson Park that this was indeed a Winter's Wonderland. A Fall Morning ln Canada by ELEANoR DOYLE, x A There are charms in certain mornings, Like a morning in the fall, When the hoar-frost's all a-glitter, And the trees are straight and tall. When the smoke from cosy cottages, Rises upward through the sky, I scan this picture with a glance, And breathe a thankful sigh. For there's nothing like a morning When we start the day anew, To start with better resolutions, With a sky so clear and blueg No clouds to darken this painting, Achieved by the One on High, Then: comes the whistle of a sparrow And the piercing black-bird's cry, There are tiny flakes of delicate snow, Fluttering through the air, The frost like tiny diamonds, So precious and so rare. With a land like this to call our own, Free from trouble and despair, We are proud to be the people of Our Canada, beloved and fair.

The Spring Woods by LENORE MATHER, IX F The day had come for my favourite excurs- ion-a visit to the spring woods. I had never yet missed this visit nor did I ever intend to. The beauty of this scene is stamped on my memory forever. How fragile seemed the delicate hepaticas as they peeped from under their covering of dead leaves! What lovely colours they were, ranging from the frost-like white to deep purple, like nothing I have ever seen! How green were the tender shoots of numberless other plants! The trillium had not yet shown itself to the curious eye of the invader. The trees had not responded to the call of spring and they stood like dark sentinels guarding the secrets of the woods. Little rabbits darted hither and thither as though in search of the unknown presence which we call spring. This scene stands foremost among the many which I have treasured in my memory. It was not a wonderful one such as is seen from a sky- scraper in New York, but its simplicity was its charm, Page Thirty-two The Hisory of Hats by JEAN MCDONALD, x A com. The first we hear of hats is in the early days in Phrygia, Asia Miner, where warlike Women called Amazons lived. They wore helmets made from furry animal skins which had long, thin ear-laps. The Romans and also the Egyptian women wore practically the same hats , Other later members of the extensive hat family were the gabled hood and the wimple, The chaperone with a laripipe was a hood worn by jesters in old English kings' courts. A cape was attached to the hood, covering the shoulders and sometimes having tiny bells jangling from the points around the bottom of this cape. The laripipe was a long, narrow tail, hanging from the top of the hood. The gabled hood was a high three-pointed head dress having graceful folds of cloth which fell down the sides of the face. There were many versions of it ranging from low, fairly flat types, to high, basin-like hoods worn by the upper classes. The wimple, as most of us know, was made from cloth which could be wrapped around the head in many different ways. It covered the hair because the men of the church had a belief that women should not show their hair. Another kind of old English hat was the hennon. It was high and pointed and suggested afdunce's cap. Twisted around it from bottom to top and fal- ling from the point was a long strip of cloth. Later varieties of headdresses included the French Revolutionary Period type. These women wore their hair done high on their heads. Straw and lard were used to keep the many curls in place, and a small, flat hat was placed on the top. Plumes, feathers, and rib- bons provided ample decorations. In the Elizabethan era, what was known as the Mary Stewart headdress was favoured by the women. It resembled greatly the widow's of modern days. The men of the French Revolutionary Period usually wore wigs, much powdered and berib- boned, with curls in the back. In Henry VIII's time flat hats, made from rich velvets and other fine fabrics, were the men's headgear. They usually had a large colorful plume thrust in the side. In the nineteenth century an operetta en- titled The Merry Widow inspired the women to wear large, broad-brimmed hats. The hair was then done in the upsweeping pompadour style. Another favourite style of this century was the bonnet. It began by being small and nar- row-brimmed but was gradually replaced by a large, and also very wide-brimmed bonnet. fCOlIfi71Il8II on Page 93, Choosing A Course by ELEANOR COLLINS, X H. ARTS Oh, yes, Academic and Commercial courses are all right for career Women, but for the girl with domestic ideas, Household Arts is just the thing. I have often thought of being a secretary or even a druggist, but when I heard that Cary Grant liked good cooks, well, my mind was made up. It was Household Arts for me. Be- sides a woman's place is in the home, and what good would a Latin phrase be to a poor girl struggling with a poached egg? Oh how lovely it is to go by the cooking room! The delicious aroma of cookies and macaroons drifts out the door until you can't resist the urge to go in, but then how much lovelier it is to be on the inside sampling these delicacies. All of your shorthand and basic French won't satisfy that watering mouth, long- ing for one of those golden brown cookies just like the ones mother makes. No matter what profession a woman may enter there comes a time when she wants to see herself as a cook and home-manager. When she undertakes this new job she really ap- preciates what she has learned in the House- hold Arts Course. Mystery Music by JOYCE GALLAGHER, X H. ARTS One stormy winter night a rather peculiar incident occurred which will long remain in my memory. In the first place it was what one would term a spooky or mysterious night with the wind howling dismally through the trees and the sky slightly overcast. To make matters even worse, I happened, on this particular evening to be alone in the house. Retiring to bed earlier than usual I had commenced to read an extremely gruesome mystery story. As the plot rapidly unfolded before my startled eyes, I became more and more nervously aware of my surroundings and every now and then would cast furtive glances out into the darkened hallway. As I read on for awhile, I became drowsy and dozed for perhaps half an hour. Suddenly I was awakened by a loud dis- cordant crash on the piano downstairs. Sitting upright in bed, I listened for some minutes too terrified to move. Someone was down there who had no right to be! The supposed ghost would strike a jumble of confused notes on the piano-then stop-then start again. Finally curiosity surmounted my fear and I decided to investigate. Noiselessly I tiptoed to the door and peered out, listening. The sounds could be heard distinctly coming from the living-room. Groping about in the dark, I made my way to the stairway. The mysterious music had ceased for the moment. Waiting until it began again, I crept silently down the stairs to the door of the living-room. Bravely, I reached up my hand, and switched on the light. There-walking nonchalantly up and down the keys of the piano was my amazed pussy- cat obviously delighted yet a little surprised at the new sounds which it was producing.

All was quiet except for the hoarse whispers of huddled figures at look- out posts: or now and then the low rumble of light artillery duels. Suddenly, out of a cloud bank loomed an enemy bomber, with several light pursuit planes and fighters forming an escort and with many more bombers ,W and lighters following ill was heard and the tail of another storm victim disappeared beneath the icy waters of the Strait. After half an hour of blind iiying in the storm, a squadron of British Aerial fighters were sighted approaching the mass of German invaders.

On and on they flew communicating with each other, ready to go into their dizzy dives and release their deadly bombs at the signal from their Flagship. As they neared the Strait of Dover the wind rose and for a moment several planes wavered in the sudden gust of wind. The night gradually grew darker and, as the great grey monsters zoomed out over the foam- ing waters, six thousand feet below a loud crackling noise was heard followed by a terrific burst of radiant light. The pilots were tempor- arily blinded by the streak of lightning. Then the storm broke and sheets of rain came down in torrents. Most of the lighter planes had dif- ficulty in keeping straight courses in the blinding fiashes of lightning and the fury of the driving rain. Suddenly one of the Fokkers, out of control, speared downwards to inevitable destruction, its delicate controls frozen by the electrical storm. A moment later an ear-splitting crash Page Thirty-four treating, after viewing the strength and num- ber of the enemy's craftsg but as the Ger- man planes opened their throttles in full chase, the allied planes looped above, and dived directly down upon the as- tonished and surpris- ed Nazis.

A moment later the pilot of the German Flag- ship was critically wounded as he clutch- ed feverishly at the controls of the careen- ing bomber. The co- pilot yanked at the stick but soon he, too, from loss of blood-slumped at the controls of the plane. At the same moment two light Fokkers and one pursuit plane, with c6YO'lLti7'L1l6d on.

I like to watch the birds fly south, Red Robin and the rest. And when the Winds begin to blow, Soon winter will be our Guest I love to stand upon a hill And Watch the ground belowg It looks so peaceful and so still, And forests seem to glow. Autumn is a precious time, A treasure from above, And gives a cheery memory of A season all can love. The Valley by GERALDINE MELTON, IXF I think almost everyone enjoys a beautiful Winter morning when everything with the newly fallen snow upon it twinkles and glistens with the first rays of the early morning sun. When I look out of my bedroom window on a winter morning I can see the valley of Peter- borough with the snow glistening on the roof tops, and from each chimney a faint line of blue smoke curling into the air, then fading away. I think a suitable name for this would A Night At by JACK WILLIAMS, Why I ever agreed to such an undertaking is beyond me. But I was finally dragged out of the house by my friend, Jim Simpson, away from a warm, cosy fire and a quiet evening at home. The object of the outing was a visit to the Uptown Theatre which rarely profited by one of my visits. It's the finest picture of the seasonf' Jim related as we hailed a taxi. Whether it was or not I was not very joyful. One evening off a week and this was it. As we approached the theatre, I observed that the picture now playing was Drums Along the Mohawk -one of those rip roaring Westerns that I detested. After getting out of the taxi, we engaged in the pur- be The valley of a thousand smokes. As the day passes. things change. About four-thirty the sun that shone so brightly, is now sinking in the west and only faint mauves and pinks are to be seen. The white snow has now a purplish cast, with long blue shadows stretching here and there. The snow on the sidewalks is trampled down till it is slippery and so another day has passed in the city of Peterborough. The Theatre x AB :Nu Asus denly I had an inspiration. Maybe the lady would remove her hat if I asked her politely. Madam,'l I said sweetly, would you mind removing your hat? Her reply was Such nerve! I could not stand it any longer. I asked Jim if he would mind if I moved to another seat. He replied that it was all right with him. When I reached a suitable seat, the feature was half over. After enjoying the picture a few minutes more, a small boy laboriously chew- ing a wad of gum came in and sat beside me. The noise was enough to drown out the picture. And when he began to throw peanuts up and catch them in his mouth I nearly went wild. One peanut landed squarely on my head. chase of tickets.

Perhaps it will be the Form News section, or the Humour section. But invari- ably the School News section is not the first their eager eyes will scan. For the attending students, perhaps the School News sec- tion seems to lack interest, be- cause they are well acquainted with the school activities, but for the Alumni of P.C.V.S., School News is the most inter- esting part of the book. ln the reading of it, they are able to see what progress has been made in the forming of organ- izations, the success of our rugby, basket-ball, and base- ball teams, and in the other phases of school life. The write- ups of the Literary meetings, of the Commencement dance, and the photographs will recall fond memories of school days at P.C.V.S. Thus the School News section is the most im- portant section of the magazine to the Alumni, and someday it will also gain importance in your eyes. Donori-ix' PARKHILL. Nezrs Editor Their Majesties' Visit to Canada, May, 1939 Peterborough: An Historic Day The day the King and Queen arrived in Canada His Majesty was to make a speech, and great was our delight when in morning assembly Dr. Kenner gave us permission to extend the noon hour to two o'clock. reason, which For some unforeseen however, the speech, was scheduled for l.30 o'clock, was delayed and many uncer- tain students set out for school. As I entered school, the con- tinuous ringing of the tele- phone sounded on my ears. As I passed the office, I heard the secretary's somewhat weary voice replying, Wait until the speech is over and then come to school. There was a buzz of voices in the main entrance Where some girls were gathered to shelter from the rain. Other students stood in a group at the corner across from Johnston's Electri- cal Store listening to the loud speaker by which we were to hear the first speech of His Majesty upon his arrival in Canada. About two o'clock the organ music ceased and between the intermittent ringing of bicycle bells and the bang of fire- crackers contributed by the First Formers chiefly, we heard the Prime Minister's welcom- ing address. Then after a mom- ent of suspense and silence, ex- cept for the sound of the rain- drops, His Majesty spoke and Page Thirty-six even the most mischievous boys were quiet and a subdued group heard the speech. Later, rather unwillingly, we returned to classes, but the teachers had a difficult task be- cause of wandering mindsg so school was dismissed early. Hip hurray! D.P. Ottawa: Trooping The Colours Now that the pageant is over, one recalls with delight the sounds of blaring bugles, the trampling of the proud Royal Canadian Dragoons, the cheering, and above all our handsome King and gracious Queen. Ottawa semed to change overnight, from the prim and sedate Canadian capital to a make-believe city. Rows of brightly coloured banners and flags decorated the broad front of the Parliament Buildings. About eight o'clock the mem- bers of the Air Force, who were acting as a guard of hon- our, began to fall into position. At nine the streets were a mass of excited people, anx- iously waiting for a single glance at their king. From our windows in the Parliament Buildings, we could see distinguished guests arriv- ing for The Trooping of the Colours. Statesmen, famed soldiers, beautiful women, and the humblest subjects, had fContinuecl on Page .445 Kingston: A Single Hour The great day had arrived- the day on which the King and Queen were to visit Kingston! Earlier in the week we had been somewhat disappointed by the announcement fmade necessary by the far distant ice and fog of the North At- lanticj that Their Majesties' visit was to be shortened to about an hour and a half. But our spirits soon rose again and we set out almost as joyously as if there had been no change in plans. Upon arriving in Kingston we found that a vantage point had been reserved for us on the roof of a store. Without worry in that regard we were free to enjoy the day in tour- ing the city. Thousands of flags bedecked the city hall and both public and private buildings. During the after- noon my mother had the privilege of seeing and actual- ly touching the Queen's bou- quet of orchids and lily-of-the- valley. About seven o'clock we set out to take up our post where we would wait to see the King and Queen. Even then the soldiers, among them the Prince of Wales Rangers from Peterborough, were falling in line along Pine Street. The first herald of the royal guests' arrival was the sound fConti1zuefl on Page 555 Toronto: With the Scout Special On May 22, 1939, their Royal Majesties paid a visit to the City of Toronto, and on that same day the up and coming generation of Peterborough visited that same metropolis. lt was a cold, raw day when the Scout Special drew out of the station, and headed for To- ronto by way of Lindsay and Agincourt. Everybody was in high spirits, even the engine f 0 r g o t its troubles, a n d whistled cheerfully as it pulled its load of happy occupants to- wards the Queen City. We just got past Jackson's Park when someone enquired, t'How far have we got to go now?,' and this kept up every few minutes during the whole of the four- hour trip. Between stops we all sang songs, counted tele- graph poles, and even ate our lunch earlier than usual to make the time pass quickly. Finally the train arrived at Ex- hibition Station and from here we marched to our reserved section on the waterfront where we shivered, in our bare knees, with the thousand and one other Scouts from all over Central Ontario. We didn't have to Wait long for our big thrill, for scarcely three-quarters of an hour had passed before the sound of cheering reached our ears. In a few minutes the Royal Couple arrived, escorted by motor-cycle police, and a guard of honour composed of the Royal Canadians Dragoons. Our hearts swelled with pride when first the King saluted us, and then the Queen waved and smiled in our direction.

Toronto: Glimpse Through A Camera Last May an important page was written in the annals of Canadian history. An event which has not been paralleled, occurred in May 1939 when the King and Queen of the British Empire visited this Dominion. When the Royal Couple were to appear in Toronto, groups of school children and students from the surrounding country travelled by train to see their King and Queen. Let us follow the adventures of one happy and excited girl, her departure from Peterbor- ough, and subsequent happen- ings until her return: Well, is everything ready? Which group are you in, Dot? Six? Too bad. I'm in nine, or is it six, these numbers are always mixed - doesn't make much difference, we can get to- gether anyway. We're off! If what they say is true we're going to have a swell time exercising our limbs. Here, sit with me and We can talk. Yes, I brought my camera along, thought perhaps I might get a picture of Their Majesties. Won't likely get a peek at them but where there's life, there's hope, and I'll be able at least to get a picture of the guards. I wonder if the Queen will be as beautiful, or the King as stately, as their pictures por- tray them. So much comment on her clothes, I am anxious to see what she will Wear. Do you suppose we'll be able to see them? The crowds will be ter- rific. I'm so glad there are no stops on the way, seems to shorten the trip.

We Saw the Playl When it was announced that the Dramatic Club had chos- en the well-known Quality Street for the annual school play, we simply raised our eyebrows, tucked our collec- tive tongue in our collec- tive cheek, and said: Hmmm . . . ! After all, we had seen the moving picture, and read the play. Could the Dramatic Club possibly live up to the movie? Well, 'tHmmm,', we said. But we saw the play, and were we surprised! We saw well chosen scenery fremem- ber the Blue and White Room?j, beautifully matched period furniture, pretty, col- ourful, and fplease notej well- iitting costumes, to say noth- ing of the acting! We heard every word of the play, and we marvelled at the superb acting turned in by the students we all know. We gasped with delight at petite Ruth McNeely in a sparkling white satin wedding dress, and we mentally award- ed orchids to Irene Michaud as dear Aunt Susan and Ruth Telford as the maid, who reaped their share of the laughs. Dashing Ken Brown made a doubly dashing Valen- tine Brownw. Roy Apple- cheeks Hudson and Bob Car- ley made worthy suitors for the hand of Miss Phoebe , while Margaret Gertley, Marie Casey and Fanny Gishman tip- toed nimbly on and off-stage as the three prying old maids. Altogether, the play was a whirlwind success! We saw it Thursday and heard it was even better Friday. Now we have our collective hat off to the Dramatic Club, and we have ordered three lusty cheers for Miss White and Mr. Hale who helped so well. Yes, we saw the play, and we feel sorry for anyone who didn't. Heard at the Play Phoebe: I should love. sir, to in- spire frenzy in the breast of the male. Susan: Oh that weary Latin! I wish I had the whipping of the man who invented it. Valentine Brown: Be off with you, apple cheeks. Patty: hIa'am, I ha' been looking out at windows waiting for him to oblige by turning the corner this Hfteen years. Ensign Blades: I - Charlotte, ex- plain! Lieut. Spicer: Blay I stand beside you, Miss Susan? Isabella: Please, rna'am father wishes me to acquire Algebra. Charlotte: My chest is weak, I shall sit among the dew. The Dramatic Club Last fall the P.C.V.S. Dra- matic Club was launched on its second year of existence, with over forty members. The of- iicers for the 1939-40 season are: President-Bob Crocker. Vice President-Betty Allen. Secretary-Bernice Greatrix. As during last year, regular meetings were restricted main- ly to the pre-Christmas season, the school play getting under way at the beginning of Janu- ary. The meetings were super- vised by Mr. Hale, who instruct- ed the clubs in dramatics. One meeting was given over to Miss Hicks for a very interesting demonstration in stage make- up. However, this year we also decided to proceed with the more practical business of pro- ducing shorter plays. The first of these, Refund by Fritz Karinthy, was presented at Commencement, being the first time the club has taken part in that event. Later, a short skit entitled Catharine Parr was produced for morning enter- tainment, using the loud-speak- er. It is hoped that in the near future we shall also present a one-act play Vacuum, writ- ten for us by Hugh Kenner. Page Thirty-nine 'K 'YQ 3 l 'X an 'G in , .. .1 4 fs 1' X , ,X K 1 sl .Q - .

The At Home 'Tis said that never before have such beautifully gowned Cinderellas and handsome Prince Charmings attended this, our annual ball, held on the twenty-seventh of Decem- ber. Every colour of the rain- bow was depicted in some fash- ion of grandmother's day or in the latest parisian models. The city's King of Swing, Mose Yokum, provided melod- ious airs for some seven hund- red dancers, students and ex- students of P.C.I. Multi - coloured signatures were painted here, there, and everywhere about the walls of the gym. This original idea was given by Bob Garner, and skil- fully carried out by the decor- ating committee. Finding your name was almost like looking for a needle in a hay-stack, but the search was a lot of fun, anyway. The garnet and grey theme was carried out in the streamers spread across the Page Forty-two ceiling and in the silver band- shell. Catering was done by Messrs. Hooper a n d Sons, capably assisted by Household Arts Grade X, acting as waitresses. An orchid to those who were responsible for this year's At Home being such a complete success. Commencement Dance Friday, December first, mark- ed an evening of gaiety in the P.C.l. gym. Here the graduates and students danced to the rhythm of Stan Northrop's or- chestrag with B ob Graham tooting his sax again, and Bill Davidson, the one-man recep- tion committee, it seemed like old times. The band stand was beautifully decorated by the Social Committee fwho were in complete charge of the even- ing's doingsj. The Commence- ment Dance boasted-of all things-a Hoor show! Starring were Mr. R. W. Eagleton, an accomplished harmonica and castanet performer, L e o n e Comstock who gave a much ap- preciated toe-danceg Olga West- bye singing Over the Rain- bow in a Way that compared favourably with the profes- sional movie rendition, and Jean Miller of Lakefield who sang and danced most accept- ablv. Refreshments were served to all the happy throng at the end of a perfect evening. Staff Tea On Friday, December first, at the completion of the Com- mencement Exercises, the grad- uates, their parents and friends were welcomed in the gymnas- ium by the staff. All in attend- ance were regaled with hot tea and tempting dainties, such as petite sandwiches, delectable lemon drops, and iiuify cakes, prepared by the accomplished cooks of the Household Arts Classes. The C6l'l'l2l'6 This year we have had very fine attendance records at most of the meetings. The Club has been divided into two groups. the Juniors and the Seniors. These groups meet on alternate Wednesdays, the Juniors taking the elementary steps of photo- graphy and the Seniors doing more advanced work. The members of the Camera Club have been very active this year. A number of them have had Work displayed in the Club show-case beside the Assembly Hall door. During the Autumn a Camera Club hike was held which was well attended. Despite t h e strong wind and frequent dis- appearance of the sun behind clouds, several of the members made fine shots of Jackson Park bridge. As usual, the Club handled the selling of the school Christ- mas cards. During the Autumn several pictures of Grades IX, X and XI were taken and it is expect- ed that more will be taken in the spring. Our large five-by- seven inch plate camera is equipped with a new Tessar lens, one of the best which can be bought. The use of this lens insures sharpness over th e whole picture area, even to the extreme edges.

Miss Irma Wright She came, she typed, she left us spell-bound. In January members of the commercial classes were privileged specta- tors of a demonstration of typ- ing by Miss Irma Wright of the Underwood - Elliot - Fisher Co. Ltd. For three quarters of an hour the students gazed in open-mouthed wonderment as her skilled fingers skimmed gracefully over the keys at a rate of more than one hundred and thirty words a minute. The perfect coordination between brain and fingers, exemplified by her typing bespoke hours of persevering practice and a comprehensive study of her art. Though all of us who watched her cannot become World Champion Amateur Typist, as Miss Wright has, Csome of us may not even surpass medio- crityj we were inspired to a more vigorous and scientific study. Canada Packers This year once again the Canada Packers Ltd. sponsored a contest for the benefit of Grade XI Commercial a n d Special Commercial. On March 14, Mr. George Batley, repre- senting his tirm, awarded iirst, second, and third prizes to Miss Edna Borland, Austin Haig, and Donald Metheral respectively. Dr. Kenner expressed the gratitude which we all sincerely felt towards Canada Packers for giving the students an op- portunity of gaining practical experience in the Art of adver- tising. fSee Im-ide Front Coverj Page Forty-three jE?,4,,Jf,!'flfX4'6Lk'izAJ A THE EEHDE5 la-an A Xxx A ,Q f N A Az- .Qjf U ETERBIIRIIIUEH ' CANADA '77, 'V-v.

Rugby Dances Much to the delight of our dance enthusiasts, Artie Shaw, Benny Goodman, Glen Miller, and all those popular bands you know so well, gave forth sweet swing for the fall rugby dances. All one needed to do was plug in the nickels. Every one had a lot of fun, even the shy stag-line gathered courage and ventured forth. Fun For Small Fry This year the Sudents' Coun- cil took pity on the poor little first and second formers, and gave them a party of their very own! The great big fifth formers kept their eye on the little shavers and supervised the games. Slips of paper with numbers on them were given to everyone as they came in the door. The numbers indicat- ed the rooms to be visited. The rumour that a Mickey Mouse feature and o t h e r comics were to be shown drew everybody to the Assembly Hall. After Mickey was finish- ed-and we don't mean finish- ed for life-everyone went to play bingo, nine pins and even musical chairs. The prizes were lollypops! A most enjoyable evening came to a happy climax when soft drinks and doughnuts were served. Basketball Dances When the basketball fans have cheered themselves hoarse and the game is won, the dance enthusiasts Cand aren't we all?J hurry to the gym where John Hooper is pounding out on the piano the latest hit-or perhaps it's Satan Takes a Holiday. Sometimes it takes a Paul Jones to get the crowd acquainted, but nevertheless by the close of the dance everyone is thor- oughly enjoying himself. Putting P. C. V. S. On ice Championship crests bearing the insignia of the C.O.S.S.A., the Central Ontario Secondary Schools Association, have been presented to football and bas- ketball teams in P.C.V.S. for many years now. As yet, however no such crests have ever been awarded to a C.O.S.S.A. championship hockey team in the old Alma Mater. Why?-because hockey has not been encouraged in P.C. V.S. Why has it not?-we do not know. Hockey is known as Canada's National Sport and yet it is not encouraged in one of the top ranking collegiates in Ontario -yes, in Canada. Our winters here are ideal for out-door sport. After a day's work in school there is nothing more invigorating or healthful than a game of good, clean, fast, and organized hockey. The best way to have organ- ized hockey is to sponsor it in the school. The majority of the men teachers in P.C.V.S. are athletes and good organizers. Co-operation on their part would do much toward de- veloping hockey. While a C.O.S.S.A. team would be a great step forward, those who are unable to qualify should not be forgotten. Here is a suggestion from one hockey-minded teacher. He suggests that a well balanc- ed league of six or eight teams be featured in P.C.V.S. Each team would have a playing captain and manager and the captain of the winning team would pick a team consisting of the best players of the other groups. This team would then enter the C.O.S.S.A. round robin series held in the Maple Leaf Gardens in Toronto in March. This is just a suggestion but it sounds feasible. At the banquet tendered to the Senior Rugby team in 1937 by the city fathers on the occas- ion of P.C.V.S. winning the Ontario Rugby Football Union Championship Dr. Kenner, speaking after dinner said: t'We have always encouraged athletics at the Collegiate ln- stitute and we feel it pays worthwhile dividends. Sports are a great character builder and an important part of youth training. There are lessons taught on the playing Held which can never be learned in the class rooms. True, the Garnet and Grey is renowned and respected on the playing field but why not on the ice as well'? Peterborough has schooled many great hockey players. Ace Bailey, one-time Toronto Maple Leaf player and Dit Clapper, now with the Boston Bruins learned their hockey in Peterborough district, and many a time skated down the ice in our Brock Street Rink. P.C.V.S. lacks neither the spirit nor the players neces- sary to put a good hockey team on the ice. What we have in spirit and players is counter- acted by our lack of enthus- iasm. Why should the C.O.S. S.A. hockey championship be awarded to Oshawa, Norwood, Campbellford or any other centre in Ontario when we are capable of producing as good players as we have in the past? P.

Fencing P.C.V.S. has adopted a new sport, the thrilling. dramatic art of fencing with all its skill and heart beats. This year, under the firm support of the B.A.A. four sets of equipment were bought. A dozen boys meet every Wednesday to learn to think quickly, and acquire a subtlety to be found in no other activity. Fencing has a noble tradition and al- though it has lost its power it still retains that tense excite- ment, that speed and daring that is only acquired after long years of constant practice. For a brand new organiza- tion the club is highly success- ful, and we are looking for- ward to the day when duels can be witnessed as morning entertainment.-R.B. Junior Rugby Team Front Row: C.

This is a day of parting. We of the class of 1939 make our formal adieu to P.C.V.S. with mixed emotions. We regret to leave a school which has given us so many fond memories, a school whose teachers have given us of their best, both in the classroom and in the var- ious extracurricular activities, a school which has engendered in us a thirst for knowledge that will remain with us through life. It is hard to leave an institution where we have made so many friends and learned so many lessons. Yet we are happier because we have wandered through its corridors, we are richer be- cause of what we have learned in its classrooms. But the merits of our school are well known to all of you. It has established itself high in the esteem of our own com- munity and ranks among the best in the province. This is due, in no small part, to the many years of outstanding leadership given by our belov- ed principal, Dr. Kenner, sup- ported, as he is, by a competent staff and backed up by a sym- pathetic board of trustees. The main purpose of this meeting to-day is the presenta- tion of diplomas and prizes, which is, in reality, the formal the many hours getting what is education. The reward for spent here termed an word, education, immediate- ly brings to mind text books, pens and pencils, classrooms, teachers, and a host of associat- ed ideas, To the casual mind, education means the act of passing through the various grades of primary and second- Senior Boys' Basketball Team t w: D.

Then with the final diploma, education stops. But is the purpose of educa- tion merely to absorb informa- tion, to soak in facts like a sponge and to be able to squeeze them out for an ex- amination? ls this not, rather, the superficial part of educua- tion? Education should do more than this. It should broaden the outlook, expand the mind. Still more, it should teach us how to learn. Anna Jameson summed it up admirably when she wrote, The true purpose of education is to cherish and unfold the seed of immortality already sown within us: to de- velop, to their fullest extent, the capacities of every kind with which the God who made us endowed us. For some of us school days are not yet over. Sometimes when one is tired from study, or is in the heat of examina- tions, it is well to relax for a moment and consider the un- derlying reason for all the toil and endeavour. Many, many years ago, Aristotle, the great Greek philosopher, made the wise comment, The bitterness is most apparent to us all at certain times. But in later years, as our intellect broadens and deepens, we will reap the harvest in a strengthened and ennobled life. To reach its fullest attain- ment, education must teach us how to think. The importance of this is most aptly illustrated by the unfortunate condition of learning in the totalitarian states where colleges are clos- ing and schools are but chan- nels for the promulgation of perverted knowledge. We in Canada may well rejoice that our sources of education are among the highest and purest in the world. Great opportuni- ties and privileges are ours. Let us make the best use of them. 1939 Ontario Athletic Commission Camp Nestling on the shore of beau- tiful Lake Couchiching lies the Utopia for all lovers of track and field sports. Here, the On- tario Athletic Commission, in order to further athletic train- ing among the youth of the province, has provided a camp that lacks absolutely nothing in equipment and personnel. Open all summer, it affords a two weeks session for Junior Boys, Senior Girls, and Senior Boys each year. V The first sight which greets one is the costly quarter-mile cinder track. the best of its kind. Inside the track are three deeply-dug pits for pole-vault- ing, high- and broad-jumping. Also there is a baseball dia- mond, a rugby field, and basket ball standards which are in constant use. Across the track is a volley-ball court and next to it, sheltered from lake breezes by tall evergreens, are three excellent tennis courts. At the lake is a large boat- house, a bath-house, and a large dock and diving-tower. .ggfxiiivf ,gf 12.3 Here the campers enjoy the blue, sparkling waters of Cou- chiching two or three times daily. Up higher, hidden by cedars of remarkable beauty and abundance is a large stone amphitheatre of natural forma- tion where the chief coach gives his daily lectures. Above this, are the camp buildings. Now a word about the per- sonnel. Alex Wilson is the chief coach, and a nation-wide authority on track and field. Mr. Steele, the business man- ager, is a combination advisor. banker, and father, while Andy Ley, the camp super- visor, is a genius for or- ganizing the camp program. As for the coaches fabout twelve of themj under Alex, it would be difficult to find a better group of fellows. Each one acts as a cabin leader and coaches skilfully and patiently his own event. One could ramble on for pages about O.A.C., but take it from me for the b e s t possible summer vaca- tion, crammed full of invalu- able instruction a n d training, there's no place like it. So let's get out and do some intensive training this spring, all you Glenn Cunning- hams, and we'll be seeing you at O-A-C. this summer.-Jim Lillico. The Ontario Athletic Com- mission's camp for girls, held last July on Lake Couchiching, was operated on the same principles as the boys' camp, held in August. It is owned and operated by the Ontario Government and is sponsored to encourage Athletics in the secondary schools of the pro- vince. This is the Hrst year that any student from P.C.V.S. has attended the O.A.C. camp. The only girls' representative from here was Eleanor Craig. ' Continued from Kingston 4 Page 36, of the train's whistle reaching us from the distance. Soon we could hear the crowds cheer- ing and then came the advance guard-and then, the royal car bearing our sovereigns ever nearer. As they came closer we could easily distinguish our handsome King and his grac- ious Queen waving to her breathless subjects and flash- ing on them her dazzling smile. For one moment we gazed spell-bound and then the royal car swung around the corner, out of sight, on its way to Old Fort Henry. Not satisfied with such a fleeting glance we trekked cross country with the hosts, to the station where we view- ed the royal train with its gleaming blue and silver and then stood, awaiting the return of the distinguished visitors.

As the Sigma Phi Journalistic Sorority was unable to sponsor it, as in the past. the Toronto Editors took over the convention and invited the out-of-town editors as their guests. The convention was held on February third and the delegation from Peterborough was composed of Barbara Scott. Frank Smoke. Ruth Robinson, last year's editor. and Miss H. R. Mc-Gregor representing the advisers. After registration the delegates listened to addresses of welcome delivered by Dr. M. W.

Later an open forum was addressed by Dir. E. H. lNIacKellar, Central Technical School. The day was brought to a climax by a banquet and dance. Early in the evening, prizes were presented to the following magazines: Toronto Daily Star Shield for Best All-round Magazine, The Magnetg Sigma Phi Trophy for Editorials.

Wallace who spoke of the necessity of using good English, saying that the English spoken by a student makes a greater impression than the clothes he Wears. He said that so far as writing is concerned the main thing is to have some- thing to say. He also stressed the great value of doing something that it not one's job, without pay and in com- panionship with fellow students. Today science makes EZ5'ZiI1'?..'i.?Z?2'.I'?

With awe and reverence. I am sure, these illustrious names shall be read by future generations who are fortunate enough to tread the halls of P.C.I. This year, we are especially proud of two V A-ers, Bar- bara Richardson and Jim Lillico, who were acclaimed, respectively, Head Girl and Head Boy of the graduating classes. Besides these we boast Rae Borland, president of the Students' Council, Shirley Richardson, president of the G.A.A. and Don Duncan, president of the B.A.A. Among those present are petite Berta Belleghem, that charming vocalist, Gwennie Bond, lVarren Gamble, who leads the First Aid, and those two lady-killers, Carmen Chase and Gerald Fitzgerald. In addition, we have the ir- resistible Poo', Hamilton, Jim Harvey, our class-room orator, and Frank Hogan, who is simply the victim of society. Nor must we forget Bill Henry, who, with Don Warne and Earl Routley, constantly Qirinxgs scholastic honours to Vital elements among the fair sex include Jean Dough- erty, our artist Doris Glover, Jaqueline ltlortson, the cynos- ure of more than one pair of eyes, and Pauline Paterson, P.C.I.'s gift to the Thespian art. John Hooper, incomparable interpreter of Artie Shaw, Jack Hope, and Keith Kidd, who, by the way. Ere: 3 mean rifle, also take a bow. And what about 'iSam King. our choice for next year's 1Iaple Leaf star. and Bud 1Iiller, whose art is a thing of beauty, or llac Powell, the little man with the big eyes,I and Ralph Rogow, who suc- cessfully managed our famous rugby team.

' Coming closer, I saw they beginning of a track race. In. the line-up, I was surprised to I see some of my mates from IV A - Black, Arn1strong,L Kelly, Henry, Bell, a n dl Moore.

In the ranks were such Umph,' girls as H. Geale, G. ' Huffman. BI. lVaite. H. Blath- ias, and A. O'Leary. Such famous men as Carlisle. Gilles- pie, llarshall. and Kay. were standing nearby gazing at the girls. By this time the men's race was nearly finished, Black leading the field. Then. in the last few yards, an unknown runner, Kenner. passed him and won. A girl's race then began. In the line-up were Joy Walker. BI. Blunro, II. Robinson. A. Richardson. N. Timlin, J. Trotter. and D. Ross. It was a close race which ended with Joy and Norma tied for Brst place. Immediately. the familiar yell ':Hikety Chike arose, led by our cheer leaders J. John- ston, S. Boorman, and Clark. The loudest cheerers seemed to be IV A girls-II. MfcIntyre, O. Anderson, I. llichaud, D. Hutchinson, B. Allen, H. Bal- lard, W. Hunter, J. Hamley, and BI. Armstrong. Near this crowd a free-for- all wrestling match was tak- ing place. In the ring were those brawny members of IV A-Garner, G. Smith, fiIorrow, Scriver, Hatton, D. I Smith, Gray, and Hall. Scriver was the only one who surviv- Ied. The cheers awakened me 'and I found my homework still unfinished.-B.H.

Wallis, A. Connell, R. Rose, F. Alcoclc, B. Garner APRIL, 71940 g vgot. 26 The Form News this year is ha1'dly recognizable. Gone are the space-wasting theme songs and the valiant attempts tor are we being too kindi at writing poetry. All this is replaced by the more legible newspaper style. which makes our magazine an improved Hllfl 1noder11 school book. It is only with the able assistance of June IYallis. Arlie Connell. Bob Garner, Rex Rose. and F1'ank Alcock. that this section has bee11 compiled: so 11ow they take a well-earned rest while your form news editor endeavours to fill this space with reading matter. The form reporters set an astounding record this year-about one third of the desired number of reports were turned in on the date set. It is very disheartening to realize that the majority of these were from the first forms. Scattered through the form news section this year will be noticed a number of sketches. which have been done by a most industrious Art Department. There are more than there were last year and they are drawn with an eye to being humorous. We agree that they are not necessarily Hattering, but vanity must be for- saken in editing a magazine. Reading through this section. you will notice the almost complete absence of the old perennials Hash', and illustrious -a great obstacle overcome by a daunt- less Echoes staff. CHIVALRY DISAPPEARS VVe are led to understand by a certain incident that occured in the ninth grades. that chivalry in the school is almost an unheard-of grace. A boy was assigned to write his forn1's news. He was in the form reporters' picture-but when the time came for him to turn in his report, he handed the job over to a girl. Is this the chivalry of our school? VVe hope it is only an exception. The advertisers of The Echoes have been very loyal this year. Even though there is a war going on. the firms, companies. stores and private practices have advertised. The Echoes is very appreciative of this co- operation. We didnit know that Hrst formers knew such big words. One used parsimonious. and another nphysiog- nomyf' VVe had to look these up in the dictionary Cfor shamell Upon searching furtively through other magazines for other Form News editors' editorials. we made the heart-rending discovery that there are not many. Those other editors do not realize how lucky they are. After struggling for four nights we obtained enough space on the table in The Echoes office to get this editorial written. The office is the busiest place in the school- after school hours. Someone is typing. someone is run- ning around with a sheaf of papers. someone pasting- everybody doing something. It is with this picture that we would leave you. so that when you see us resting later in the year, you'll know that we deserve it. Page Sirvty-four XI A KNOWN AS GUIDING STAR Form XI A Academic is as a guiding star whose bright light illuminates the path of duty for those Of lesser clay who follow its lead. You. our readers, will perhaps think this a rash statement, so let me present the follow- ing facts to substantiate it. Margaret Langley an d Norma Elcombe were scholar- ship winners last year. Dorothy Parkhill, B ob Carley, Arthur Bunnell. Lloyd Williamson and Davis Gra- ham are all working for The Echoes. Christine Carlisle and Bob Carley represented the form in a lively debate with XI C. Although the decision was in favour of XI C. we are in- deed proud of their valiant stand. Bill Harle. Captain of the Senior Rugby Team. and Les Graham and Tom Craig of the Junior. battled it out on the old gridiron for the honour of the School last fall. Bill also plays basketball. The form hockey team, in which most of the lads of the form starred. is still leading in the series of games with XI B. It would never do to forget the girls. especially in a room where they outnumber the boys two to one. Many like Jean Castle. are interested in baseball. Not a few pitch a fast ball and pack a mean wallop, with a batf' Among the foremost of the musically inclined of the School. are the talented Elsie Chambers, heard at the piano at each morning assembly. Davis Graham, who plays in the orchestra, and June Bur- rows, our singing star. VVith the budding drama- tists are found Connie Nichol- son, Ruth Telford, hlarie Casey, June Burrows, and Bob Carley, busily engaged learning their lines for the School Plav, Quality Street. We regret that limited space precludes the enumera- tion of various interests in which other members of the form are engaged. We hope, UNUSUAL ARTIS- TIC ENDEAVOURS IN IX I I shall try and put down on paper a clear description of our brilliant form as it goes 011 its daily round through the Collegiate. Ivhen the morning bell rings we are in our form room, but a few stragglers always seem to saunter in several minutes later. Ilsually they are curly-headed Robertson and Sills, who wakens the class with his thump of heels. First period is English, where Miss Brown tries to teach us our proper language, but it appears to be no use. How- ever, by June we hope the more talented students, Lois VVright, .Ioan Smedmor, and Dorothy Thorpe, will know thc difference between a noun and a verb. Next comes Geography where Ralph says the capital of Australia is London, and Sisson, Steward, and the Samis Sisters catch up on some sleep. Then We go to Mathematics. Here Sullivan and Sheppard try to get their homework done be- fore Mr. David takes it up. After ltlathematics has ended we go to History. Sanderson suddenly gets thirsty on that dry subject and remembers the attendance board which he left in the Mathematics room. In the afternoon We have French. Here Slaughter, San- tomero and Sutcliffe .sit and watch the snow slide off the Armouries roof. VVhen French is over we take Science. Here- Amelda Traviss and Marjorie Schaus try to make us more unconscious by turning on the gas jet. After Science We go- up the stairs for two periods of Art, where we spend our time drawing pictures of The Little ltlan Who Wasn't There. The four o'clock bell rings and we start home, after a happy school day.-B.S.

GIRLS MAKE OXYGEN 'K Afternoon, everybody! The bell rings and the door of lNIiss Howson's room bursts open to admit Helen Miller and Muriel hliles who dash in. followed closely by Betty Puffer and Lenore Skitch. These fun-makers always cause a great sensation at least. Form XI C is proud of its actors and actresses for stag- ing scenes from Disraeli. Behold our future stars truck- ing off to Hollywood: Jack Ridyard, Jack Thompson. Hlorley Geraghty, Joan Rah- niel. Bill Purdy. and Eleanor Staples. Have you heard about Olll' outstanding poetesses - Ber- nice Newman. Barbara IVhite. and Joan Pitchford? No, our boys didn't fail us in poetry. Ask Frank Stuart how he knows Hitler so well. Nliss McIntosh. our jolly form teacher. may wonder why pupils like Jean Wooll. Jean Moncrief. John Stuart, Barbara Nichols, Hlld Hannah Wlright are so fond of Latin??

We have those students who find Physics beyond them: Norma Smedmor, Vera Miller, Stuart Wright, Maur- een Brown for does she?l Dot Cathcart, and Mary Nesbitt-but then, don't we all?- B.M. IX C GIRL DECIDES VVell, here we are. We stand before you as the potential brilliants of days to come- the executives and bankers of tomorrow fperhapsl. Here we have banker-tosbefi Dalton. It seems obvious from the fact that all loose change in his possession is soon disposed of, that he desires to deal only with larger amounts of cur- rency. Yvhat is that rasping, scrap- ing sound? Of course. the fourth desk down. it is Mme. Fifi Edwards grinding her way to a manicurist's fame. TO BECOME PHYSIOGNOMIST And over there is Professor Betty Craig, the f u t u r e physiognomist. even IIOXY ob- serving the weird effect upon others when she gaily chews her nails before their horrified eyes. VI'hat other form can boast such unique and outstanding characters? IVhere will you find such brilliance. or shall I say, such evident brain-power better disguised. than in Form IX C? For confirmation of the above we suggest any teacher for reference. Field and track artists abound - perhaps b o und would be better. This bound- ing effect is most apparent when these athletes race into the class room. just after the Iicll has rung. A wild scramble it is, of a type that would I-ut a typhoon to shame. Do you blame us for feelinv E3 so distinguished? From be- gnnung to end we are destined lor something. As Ling Poo once said, lt requires a wise man to pretend ignorance.

Now to outline some of its celebrities. lloorhead is our basketball hero and Armstrong is that fellow who made those flashy touchdowns this fall with the P. C. I. Seniors - or were they sitdowns? Paul Mfeeks, Peter the Hermit, will be pensioned off if he remains at school much longer. Reg. Leether is our acrobatic goal minder. VVallace Parnell. great horn blower, is now starring in Gone YVith the Wind. Bill Jordan at last has his main ambition as his hair is like Dagwood's. Douglas VVilson represents the telephone directory for such names as ltlisses Storey. Pue. Primeau, Sloan, Wil- liams. Simmons and Preston. Gerald ltlonkman is a. ski X A ACADEMIC CONSIDERS AMPLIFYING SYSTEM Meet good old X A, where talent is as plentiful as fail- ure in the History examina- tion. Let me introduce also Miss Moore. our form teacher, and Fred Garner, the form representative. Medals are plentiful. Camp- bell and Hanbidge hold marksmanship medals, and others are held by Misses Abbott and Blaiklock for life- saving. Boyer and Ford ought to receive medals for gum- chewing. Lynn Head holds a canoeing trophy. llisses Turner and Abbott are on the Badminton com- mittee while the Basketball captains are Alcock and Campbell. Examination results show six students with results over 75W. All of them are boys, too! tShame girlsll In order of standing. they are: Brown. Allen. Crowe. Boyd, Dinsdale, Garner. Bliss Blaiklock and Gordon Diplock are the G.A.A. a11d B.A.A. representa- tives. The members of the Glee Club are hlisses Chase, Fisk, Flett and Zavitz. The camera club members include Bliss Zavitz, Boyd, Brown, Crowe and Walter Hanbidge, who won an Echoes' photography prize last year. Ford and Chambers represent the or- chestra, and Sellon and Dins- dale are in the signal corps. Events have led us to wonder if Bliss Blclntosh would faint if Boyer ever had his Latin homework done, and if Fanning could ever stop wiggling to oblige lVIiss Howson. Fern Agnew must love arguments, judging from what we hear in English class. There is at least one mem- ber of the class who wishes that lNIr. C1'aig would omit some of the gruesome details during health lectures. He is William Allen. Rumor has it that amplify- ing systems will shortly be rented for Eleanor Brown and Jim English, to save the teachers ear-straing and that someone will be hired to polish Miss hIoore's glasses during first period. The time-well, time to go to bed: and so ladies and gentlemen, good evening and thank you.-S.B. champion and VVebster a writer of a famous dictionary. Ralph Braund is a prominent young musician.

Nellie Smith is going to be the TVorld's Champion Athlete Girl. if lNIiss Bailey continues to be her teacher. Mildred Rusaw's ambition is to quit school.

Bamforth pops in to say, Read from pages 60 to 70 and don't make any noise. Naturally we im- mediately start to make a terrific racket. You can't ex- pect anything else from the champion talkers. After a while Mr. Bamforth comes in and asks a whole lot of ques- tions which no one can an- swer, so he gives it up as a bad job. That is how we go on, ap- parently doing nothing, but we seem to get somewhere be- cause the Junior Girls Volley- ball pennant is tacked up on the wall and Alan Boate, our head boy, did very well on the Christmas Exams.

Our teachers are always getting mixed up in our names. But who would not, with two Ruth Flor- enceis, three Gray girls, four Fergusons and three Forbes. The boys of IX D are fresh air fiends. As soon as they get into a room. the windows are thrown sky high and the radiators turned off. The girls shiver and complain and say the boys are very thoughtless. Classmates of Don De Noble predict a great future for him as a band leader. Several of the boys in IX D have joined the Officers, Training Corps. They think Jim Frape will be a second Cromwell. John Edmison always man- ages to get ink all over his face.

Perhaps Marguerite's first cry unnerved him, for it was: 'tOtto, she cried, and the man lowered his hands and stepped forward to take his wife in his arms. Marguerite, he said, and the ring in his voice was low and husky, telling of much suf- fering, and hardship, and longing. As in a dream, Anton heard him tell ofihis desertion, his flight, his coming here, and-and then something broke in Anton, and he lowered his revolver and crept noiselessly down the terrace-for he heard Otto ask for his son. His head was a turmoil of two voices, of Otto's husky question: My boy, Marguerite? and another, clanging, insistent, filled with the sound of steel, and locks, and duty, uniiinching duty, and then Otto's voice again: My son, my son-? He reached the car, opened the door. They,re very much alert now, he said, we had best drive on up the road and wait. He started the motor-it was quite quiet, thank God!-and the car slid silently on to the gravel and up the road. The lights, Anton? -this in a whisper. They may see them, he whispered back. Anton von Essandorf smiled to himself in the darkness, and he heard only the voice of Otto saying, softly and happily, softly and happily now: My son, my son, my son- The Wutach river below the heights of Nor- denwerk is deep and swift.

Also, as Mary was quick to notice, he was young and handsome and gay and kind. Oh, thank you, Mr. Whitney, she cried with happy excitement, I know I shall enjoy the work and am I glad to get it! Looking at the shining eyes and ruffled curls, Michael replied gaily, his eyes smiling at her: And I know you are going to be the ideal secretary. We can both begin thanking our stars for each other. In the evening Mary burst into the tiny living room, ready to cry out her good fortune to Danny. But she halted suddenly in the door- way. Danny was sleeping, a soft smile on his lips, his face turned toward his frosted window. He was far away in his entrancing land of Make-Believe. Mary walked lightly over to his couch and slipped to her knees beside the sleeping boy. Danny boy, she whispered, Your Crystal must have been with me todayg such luck as I have had! Then, as she looked at the sleeping boy and the pretty patterns on the window pane, her thoughts rushed away happily. eagerly, to the glorious winter months ahead-months that would be full of new joy and perhaps. who knew, romance. Minutes later, jumping briskly to her feet to prepare supper for Danny, she waved her hand gaily at Danny's window saying, Thanks awfully, Jack Frost.

At this point the feature ended and the light came on. The vaudeville was about to begin. A magician appeared on the stage. The Hrst thing he asked was if some kind gentlemanwould come up and assist him in his act. MHOW about you? he said and his finger was pointing at me. I had no alternative and everyone around me urged me to go up. When I reached the top of the steps leading to the stage, he began pulling yards of cloth from me. He then started to take eggs out from behind my ears. I was never so embarrassed in all my life, and finally he ex- tracted a Whole fortune in coins from my pockets. I was glad when he told me that I might leave, but he insisted that I take a very large rabbit in return for my services. I had to walk up the aisle of the theatre amid the laugh- ter of the audience. When I met J im outside, he nearly died laughing at me. The crowd around the theatre were laughing at me also, making a public spectacle out of me. I was holding an over-sized rabbit in my hand and had no idea what to do with it. When I finally reached my home, I made up my mind that this would be my last visit to the theatre in a long tirne.

The rest of the Hght was guerilla warfare with hostile ships darting here and there letting out short bursts Of machine gun fire with the deadly accuracy of a hawk pursuing its prey. While the enemy Fokkers engaged the de- fending English Camels, the five remaining big bombers set their noses towards home with a full cargo of deadly bombs still unreleased. The other Nazi ships turned tail also, beaten by the superior marksmanship and skill of the British. Although worthy opponents, the Ger- man machines returned with heavy losses, and another great victory was claimed by the Royal Air Force.

It was Karloff, standing on the horse's head, waiting to catch me. Those ghastly, hypnotic eyes were drawing me towards his outstretched arms like a magnet whose attractive force I was power- less to resist. As he reached out a long sinewy hand and grasped me by the throat the horse started to laugh the latest popular tune. It was, appropriately enough, Are You Having Any Fun?

Wilson's face appeared around the edge of the door and he murmured I-Iello! in a scared tone. Evidently he was suspicious of me. Good afternoonfl' I replied and pushed my way pompously into the room. Are we alone? I inquired bluntly. Why yes. He immediately started to whine as he realized that his suspicions were all too true. I couldn't go and get it, honestly I couldn't! My hand was crushedg I was un- consciousg you can't do anything to me for that! I couldn't help it! By this time the poor wretch was almost sobbing and beads of perspiration appeared on his forehead. 'tWell, you are excused this time! Youlre not to do anything for us for the next month and you must not go near the restaurant. Remem- ber that now! You definitely must not go near the place or he may not be so kind the next time. My last speech was a masterpiece. I was stabbing the air with my forefinger in a way which I hoped was the regulation way for a high pressure spy lecturer. The agent liter- ally wilted with relief. I had all the information required, so I left the house and we drove home. Jim suggested letting the police finish the matter, but my appetite for sleuthing was whetted and I hated to give up this chance of excitement for the humdrum of every-day life. All the next week we tried to locate f'J's offices but without success. We decided to wait until we met the messenger again and see if we could trick him into telling us. Accord- ing, the following day, as I was seated at the same table in the restaurant, the messenger approached me with another envelope. HGood afternoon, he said with the same Eskimo grin. How do you do? I replied, and then handed him my own letter explaining why I had no success in finding the depth below the first iioor of the ammunition magazine. I put on a look of ill-concealed concern, and whispered, Where's JH? I heard the authorities were on to him and he'd leftl' 'tWell, he did have to move, though there's nothing serious. You'll find it all here. He tapped the envelope which lay on the table significantly. This was just another stroke of luck!

I waited impatiently for three hours before the job was finished. It appeared that I had to go to a newly-opened stationery shop in the business section and say to any of the clerks- I'd like to see the managerf, at the same time slicking a coin on the desk as I said K'Manager . By now I was tired of continually puzzling my brains so we went to see the Chief at the Criminal Investigation Department and within two hours I was standing outside the stationery shop again in the company of two detectives. Naturally I was rather nervous as I remember- ed vividly the way Wilson had acted and I expected J to resist arrest. I entered first and spoke to the clerk, click- ing the coin on the counter at the right moment. The clerk told me to follow him, but I paused a moment and lit a cigarette - the signal to the detectives to come in. I could not help admiring the clerk. Immediately he real- ized something was amiss and started explain- ing that the manager had just left. However, one of the detectives took charge and ordered the clerk to proceed. .As he did so, a car stopped in front of the shop with four con- stables who entered and started leading the other clerks out of the door. By now the clerk had lost his suave manner and ushered us up three flights of stairs and motioned to a door marked Private . Now that the great moment was at hand, I was suddenly overtaken by an attack of stage fright. My knees were knock- ing together, my breath came in short gasps. Strangely enough, there was absolutely no resistance. J looked up at us, opened his mouth to speak - and then suddenly all the colour drained from his face. He sat there as if petrified. One of the Yard men calmly Walked around the desk and snapped the handcuffs on one of the most dangerous saboteurs of his age. There followed a long succession of arrests and a lengthy court action. The ring-leaders were hanged and the remainder given sent- ences ranging from two to twenty years. In addition we were given some financial reim- bursement by the insurance company for saving a great deal of money. The affair was finally cleared up and we were both heartily glad to have finished with the incident. The main objective of the organiza- tion, fostered by a European nation, had been to blow up the entire coastal defence of Dover and the adjacent areas by the use of mines. The result would have been the destruction of some of Britainls main defences. We were both over- whelmed at the thought of what might have happened but even so we had enjoyed it, and as Jim remarked afterwards, There's the financial reimbursement to spend!
