EDITORIALS Certain of Sword and Pen Stand to your zrork and be zrisc. Certain of .szrord and pen, llvflfl uri' IIt'ffll0T C'flflIlI't'II nm' gods, But men. in rz world of men. 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-
