Although our advertisers were asked for only half the space taken in former years, many of these advertisers placed orders for the regular allotment. This issue of The Echoes was published only as a result of their fine co-operation. Without the help and assistance received from the following advertisers, the publication of The Echoes of 1941 would have been impossible. STUDENTS-BUY OUR ADVERTISERS' PRODUCTS Banks, C.

Page Seven Peterborough Collegiate and Vocational School 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, 1941, and will continue until March, 1942. During the past year instruction was given in Auto Mechanics, Blue Print Reading, Bookkeeping, Chemistry for Nurses, Cooking, Dress Making, Electro- Chemistry, Industrial and Elementary Electricity, Machine Design, Machine Draw- ing, Machine Shop Practice, Mathematics, Mechanical Drawing, Salesmanship, Stenography, Tool Design, Typewriting, Woodworking. WAR EMERGENCY CLASSES Since the first of the year courses have been conducted in War Emergency Work on a twenty-four hour basis. Training in Electricity and in Auto Mechanics is also given to classes from Royal Canadian Engineer units. All the courses mentioned above have the approval of the Provincial Depart- ment of Education. MR. D. G. H. MELTON, DR. H. R. H. KENNER, B.A., Chairman, Board of Education Prifwiplll MR. G. A.

In appreciation of inspiring leadership this issue of The Echoes is dedicated to Leader of the British peoples in this second Great War Page Eleven JOTTINGS BY THE PRIN CIPAL 1941 Another year has come and gone and I have been again honored by the request to chronicle some school jottings. Attendance For the first time in many years our attendance Egures are lower than they were in the preceding year. In October, 19410, we had 1185 pupils enrolled, while this year we have only 1090 pupils in attendance. Of these 807 are from the city, while 283 are from counties con- tiguous to the city. The reason for this drop in attendance is the fact that the Entrance class was much smaller this year, and owing to greater activity in the manufacturing plants of the city more pupils secured employment before finish- ing their schooling. Staff Changes Mr. W. E. Jackson, who was appointed to the Voca- tional staff in 1937, and who served in the war of 1914- 1918, asked -for and was given leave of absence during the duration of the war. Mr. Jackson afterwards chang- ed his plans and tendered his resignation as a member of the staff. We were fortunate in securing Bob Maybee as his successor. Mr. Maybee is a graduate of Peter- borough Collegiate and Vocational School and comes to us highly recommended. The Commercial course by Departmental regulation has been lengthened from a three to a four years' course. This made necessary the addition of an extra teacher to the Commercial staff. lNIr. O. C. Simmers. B.A., was selected to fill the position. lVIr. Simmers is an honour graduate of VVestern University and a Commercial Specialist. He has had seven years' experience in teach- ing Commercial subjects and is a decided acquisition to the staff. industrial Activity The Vocational School at present is a regular Hive of Industry. It is filled to capacity and operates not from 9 until 4. but from 7 a.m. right around the clock to 7 a.m. next morning. There is a greater demand for skilled workers than can be supplied. Our Unreturning Brave In Memoriam Ross Allen and Christy ltlason, who made the Supreme Sacrifice in 1940 Requiescant in Pace. Thank You The pupils of the school have excelled themselves in doing various kinds of war work. In this they have been ably guided by members of the staff and one and all have shown a fine spirit of co-operation worthy of all praise. Many gave up part of their summer holidays to make surgical dressings and to knit and sew. Outstanding was the sale of War Savings stamps and certificates. I wish to thank one and all for keeping up the honour of P.C.V.S. Page Twelve The Echoes Those responsible for the publication of The Echoes gave considerable time and thought to the answer of the question, Shall we publish The Echoes this year or not? They took a middle course and decided-wisely, We think-to reduce the size and give to the advertisers and pupils the benefit of the lessened cost. The publication of The Echoes entails much time and labour and the pupils and teachers connected with it are deserving of the thanks of the student body. The Students' Council The executive of the Students' Council looks after the extra-curricular activities connected with the school. The members are kept busy from September to June. Warren Gamble, this year's president of the Council, has had a successful year and has done very well, indeed. I wish to personally thank Mr. H. H. Graham and Mr. F. E. Johnston, the two teachers who represented the staff on the Council, for their arduous and highly suc- cessful labours in connection with the Students' Council. Congratulations Winning University scholarships is becoming a habit at P.C.V.S. Last summer William Henry won a Pro- vincial Scholarship in General Proficiency at Queen's University. The scholarship was worth 3996. Barrie Jack also won a scholarship in English at the same University. Advice to Students The present war will sooner or later cease. The old Order has been a ghastly failure and will give place to a New one. To fit yourselves forthis new and better world sustained effort on your part will be required. School days come but once. You cannot afford to waste a single day. Canada will be one of the foremost nations in the post-war period. How proud you ought to be of the fact that you are a Canadian citizen! Here is a land which reaps all the benefits of monarchy without the caste and cost of monarchyg a land where there is no degradation in honest toil and ample chances for the honest toilerg a land which has started its national existence with a kindling love of Freedom, a quickened onset of Inquiry, and a reverent love of Truth. We feel that never did a country begin under fairer auspices, and that if Canada's children be but true to themselves, they will establish a stable commonwealth rich in all tl1e virtues which make nations great, mighty in those irresistible moral forces which make a people strong. Esto perpetual May no Marius sit among the ruins of a promise so fair. Q9 EDITORIALS Winston Churchill When Winston Spenser Churchill was twenty- five he escaped from a Boer prison-camp to find himself after three hundred miles of desperate fiight a national hero. On his way home after that war he passed through our city, and old inhabitants today can remember the slim lisp- ing youth who retailed his experiences across the footlights of the old Grand Opera House. To-day thousands of homes boast a picture of Winston Churchill smiling his Victory Smileg and passing in to breakfast many thousand citizens of the Empire look up to him as their leader and bid him an affectionate good- morning. He is the warrior-poet of our day. He has fought all his life in the Empire's wars, often the only executive on whose head new facts made their impression. In 1914 as First Lord of the Admiralty he overrode Parliamentary veto on the eve of conflict to order his Heet to battle stations, so that on the fourth of August, five minutes after the command to begin hostilities, the fleet was ready. He foresaw the air-raids, feared the submarine, practically invented the tank. A man who lives the full and vigourous life needs a hobby to stay sane. Churchill has many. During the black months after the fiasco at Gallipoli he first Assaulted the canvas with a furious cavalry charge , and he has painted ever since. In his years of idleness in the nineteen-twenties he wrote a standard history of the conflict, and a biography of his great ancestor the Duke of Marlborough. With the royalties from his history he financed a country home, and himself laid the bricks in the long wall surrounding the estate. When the brick- layers' union objected he filled out a card and applied for membership. His house-guests worked too, under compulsion, despite damage to their clothes. He said it would do their souls good. By the power of the spoken word Winston Churchill has reunited England to meet the foe. His great phrases are on everyone's lips. All Englishmen hear Shakespeare's England calling to their hearts as one of the great symphonic speeches thunders up to a memorable close: Let us therefore brace ourselves to our duty and so bear ourselves that if the British Com- monwealth and Empire last for a thousand years men will still say, 'This was their finest hour'! Churchill with the inevitable cigar whispers to himself as he writes or dictates. No sentence is put down until he has tried it several times this way and that. The rhythm of his own language sways him, instinctively he alliterates. Each word must have the right sound and flavour and proper balance in his mind. As the great ascending climaxes roll up, Churchill sitting impassioned at his desk becomes a child with a happy cupid's face: the mischievous child who dictated essays to his companions in re- turn for Latin translations. Churchill the Lisping Cicero is Britain's hero to-day: Churchill the phrasemaker. This is a war of strong personalities. It is a strange man whom we have seen at work, who directs the sailing of the British fleet and the disposition of British armies from his desk at Downing Street. The adversary is no less astonishing: the paperhanger who orders the march of armies and who has created a pas- sionate hysteria by the multiplication of shout- ed phrases. But there is nothing in the reper- tory of the little Viennese postcard-artist to equal the true Wagnerian sweep of words like these from the fine old Warrior-poet fighting to-day on behalf of all civilized nations for freedom: We cannot flag or fail. We shall go to the end . . . We shall defend this island whatever the cost may be. We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing-grounds, we shall fight in the fields and streets, and in the hills. We shall never surrender, and even if, which I do not for a moment believe, this Island, or even a part of it, is subjugated and starving, then our Empire across the seas, armed and guarded by the British fleet, will carry on the struggle until, in God's good time, the new world in all its strength and might sets forth to the rescue and liberation of the old. HUGH KENNER. Our Thank You Our sincere thanks this year go to the many students who entered literary contributions without the stimulus of prize-giving, and also to Mr. Hale, Miss Park, and Miss McBride, who boosted the competition in their classes and then spent hours judging the entries. We feel that their co-operation has justified our war- time decision to abolish prizes. We would also thank Mr. Toole, the eflicient business supervisor of The Echoes, Mr. Shearer and Miss Lees, who headed an enthusiastic advertising staffg Mr. Henry, who looked after Page Thirteen I y Q wa' b..

Although this year our staff was greatly re- duced, those who remained, by their hard and faithful work made it possible for us to produce this war-time ECHOGS. A special word of appreciation is due to Miss McGregor, our supervisor of printing, without whose interest and untiring assistance we would not be able to publish the magazine at all. HUGH KENNER Small Extravagances I have often noticed that almost everyone has his own small extravagance-some careless habit of wasting pennies-and ordinarily this does not call for too deep a frown. In fact a peculiar small extravagance often adds per- sonality to the individual. But does anyone need to be reminded that these are war days! Every extra penny is needed by the country- and there is also that bothersome theory in Economics that the value of the dollar is de- creased with the increase of money spent. Con- sequently small extravagances must be exam- ined under a more penetrating light. First a plea will be made to all soda fountain frequenters. After all, boys, perhaps that game of hockey at night would be snappier if that gooey, twenty-cent double hot fudge sundae was resisted after school. Girls, do I dare to mention that hundreds of calories are contained in such a concoction of ice cream, chocolate, nuts and whipped cream? An elderly lady of my acquaintance, for no good reason that I know, drinks a little tea with her sugar, and leaves, at the end of each meal, a not too small chunk of butter and a portion of buttered bread to keep the dirty dishes com- pany. After so many years of generosity, wouldn't this be the ideal time to deprive the tea cup of the saturated sugar in its base and the side plate of the slowly melting grease? Movie lovers insist that each coming attrac- tion is bound to be the best feature of the year. Don't waste time and money then - see the movie each December thirty-first to make cer- tain of complete value for your money! .lust what is the well-dressed lady wearing this year? With so many chic costumes on parade, that question is extremely difficult to answer. So please don't confuse the men fsecretly that is your excuse for such extravag- ancel with too many smart and still smarter outfits. How many of you can truthfully say that at least three nights in the week you don't drop Page Fourteen into your favorite lunch stand fjust to see how many of the gang are therej and Qjust for some- thing to dol order a coke and plug a nickel or two in the jute box to hear Tommy Dorsey or Glenn Miller in the latest tune? Let Grand- ma tell you that it would be greatly to your ad- vantage to turn on the radio and enjoy a cold glass of milk at home. Take it or leave it, but it would be a saving. Mothers no longer frown and say What is this younger generation coming to? when the lily comes down to breakfast obviously gilded. That is, if it is not too obviously gilded. Keep that frown from your mother's brow and that tiresome question from her lips by using those precious and expensive paints sparingly. I am not going to beg, or even suggest, that you human smoke-screens give up cigarettes, for you all have probably done so at one time or another and returned to them with renewed zest. However, I am told that to roll your own can become quite an art, and the cost of the annoying habit is cut almost four-fifths. Wouldn't that be a real saving? Day in, day out, we are reproved- Who left that basement light on? . . . Must the radio be on when no one is listening to it? . . . An- other run, no wonder-three thread chiffon! . . . What! More money for that expensive hobby of yours. . . . To the waste paper basket with that gum! Little heed have we paid to such trivial extravagances in the past. Have I convinced any of you-for I have my- self-that petty wastes, however pleasant, are really unnecessary? So, shall we say, - Till the Lights of London Shine Again begone, you small extravagances! MURIEL E. MCCARRELL. Purple Patches ulnceptis gravibus plerumque et magna professis purpureus late qui splendeat, 'anus et alter adsuitur panmwf' H 071106, De Arte Poetica. Often to weighty enterprises and such as profess great objects, one or two purple patches are sewn on to make a fine display in the distance. The Echoes is primarily a record for the future, in the quotation from Horace, our weighty enterprise . The Literary Section, not contributing anything to the record, is only a purple patch sewn on to make a line display . Although no prizes were given this year, the display is indeed fine. It was always thought that contributions should be made for the honour of seeing them in print. Now we know that prizes are not necessary. School spirit is enough' llflnnckmsr WESTBYE. OUI' TBSIC The task confronting modern youth is that of uniting all the nations of the world in a com- mon feeling of co-operation. Although the way be long, the burden heavy, and the journey dangerous, we, of the present generation, must forge ahead with this aim ever before us. We must begin our plans now, if we are to succeed in our attempt to link the nations of the world together. A necessary preparation is to begin to think clearly and broadly. Narrow, prejudiced minds which see only one side of life must be enlarged. We must think in terms of nations as well as in terms of our own com- mtmity. We must think, not only of the youth of Canada but also of all the youth of the world regardless of race or creed. To think clearly is just as important as to think broadly. The grief of sudden failure or the joy of quick success should not cloud our minds. We must keep cool and collected, at all times. We must weigh every issue carefully before acting, and when we do act, it must be with a strong conviction that the deed is right. To think clearly and broadly without being able to express our thoughts would be useless. Regardless of the field in which our life work lies, we must be prepared to impress upon our fellow men the necessity of a united crusade with international friendship as the goal. Youth must look to the future. It is our task to establish and maintain international accord and friendship. We must succeed where others have failed. Bitterness, hatred, jealousy, and greed must vanish and in their place the forces of love, friendship, co-operation and obedience must stand united. Petty disputes and jealous arguments must be forgotten if we are to achieve a successful union of the people of this world. We must begin to destroy these vices now, in our own communities and later apply our experience to the whole world. In looking toward the future, youth must not forget the lessons of the past. People whose slanderous tongues, underhand methods, and secret organizations endanger world friendship and co-operation must be prevented from spreading their doctrines of hatred and envy. We must profit from the mistakes made by our predecessors in allowing international gangster- ism to gain hold, and we must prevent such ele- ments from seizing control again. Although the real building of friendship must be done in the future, the corner stone has al- ready been laid.The League of Nations, although failing politically, showed by its Work in relief, health, and labour that such a union is valuable and might have risen to even greater heights of success if the feeling of understanding had not been lost. This spirit is reviving. The Pan- American Union offers another example of nations working together. As a result, age-old disputes have been settled amicably instead of by war and bloodshed. The task has been begun. We must finish the job. The dawn of a new day is steadily approach- ing. Youth's part will be to insure world-wide co-operation in this new era. The challenge is ours and we must take the torch of friendship and hold it high. BOB CARLEY Intramural Sports--Continued This is really a continuation of the editorial on intramural sports written by Frank Smoke in last year's edition of The Echoes. His sug- gestion has been followed up in part and we are advocating a still further and more intensive program of sports. This year Basketball and Volleyball schedules were drawn up and the forms battled it out in the gymnasium. Form V-A won the Basketball championship and V-A also won the Volley- ball championship and so We extend to them our most hearty congratulations. The fault here was the lack of spectators. Where were all you sport fans? This fault can be laid only at the door of the student-body itself. Well what about a baseball schedule this spring also? Hockey was played independently by the process of one form challenging another. Here the lack of organization caused contradictions as to the proper score and many arguments re- sulted and at the end of them all no one knew what the score really was. All this could be averted with a small amount of effort on the part of the B.A.A. and G.A.A. or some other organization to provide some team, sport, etc., for each member of a form. Those who, because of physical defects, could not take in these sports, might form a cheering squad. These in- terform games stimulate school spirit and are good training for the school teams. The number of different schools on our interscholastic schedules is steadily decreasing which makes intramural sports a necessity if we are to have sports at all. In our midst we have skating, bowling, swimming, baseball and tennis enthusiasts not to mention the woe-begone members of our late lamented fencing club. What are our Athletic Associations for if they don't organize our sports or are they just a little afraid to do some Work of real benefit to the student body? Re- ferees and umpires for these sports might be chosen from Upper School or from the teachers who might be prevailed upon to supervise them, as they do the school dances. The fencing equipment which was purchased last year at considerable expense is being put to no better Page Fifteen use than to provide something for the rust to accumulate on. Why not at least make use of what we have? We have definitely proved intramural sports can be a success at P.C.I. We therefore hope that the G.A.A. and B.A.A. will continue to organize a more intensive program of sports along the lines above suggested. LLOYD WILLIAMSON, The Echoes In Wartime Some students think that there should be no Wartime Echoes. Such publications, they say, are non-essentials and should give way to patriotic work. The advisory board and the student executive, after careful consideration, decided to publish the magazine as usual. The publication will be an interesting and valuable record of the school's war eifort. It is the one medium which unites every part of the school in a common interest, and what can be more important than unity in the great task which is before us! Having made our decision, we have tried to suit our publication to a war year. Plans were made to cut down the magazine-about one- quarter. The art and photography contests, the prizes for the literary competition, were abolished. The dance for the form selling the most copies of The Echoes was likewise abolished. The price of the magazine was de- creased about one-third. The advertisers were asked to take but half their usual space. The work has been done by a considerably smaller staff, and the effort required of each was greater in that his work was seldom limited to one department. In spite of the fact that the staff was small, The Echoes has undertaken its own piece of war work, the Active Service List. Newspaper clippings concerning ex-students, now on active service, have been pasted into a huge scrapbook along with the addresses wherever possible. These addresses are available to any organiza- tion and have already been used by two, for the sending of Christmas parcels. And so may our readers realize that The Echoes has endeavoured to use a Htting war- time economy. We hope to carry on through the war years, even though our magazine be re- duced to a small mimeographed copy. NORMA TrML1N. Page Sixteen Things We'll Remember We'll remember the long halls that stretch from one side of the school to the other, and the slippery marble steps on the front stairs,--the plum-coloured velvet stage curtains with their heavy gold fringe, and the inscription carved in gold letters on the white wall above. We'll remember the show-cases of interesting birds Cand a sparrowl on the top floor, and the bulletin boards with their business-like mes- sages. We'll cherish the memory of the gas jets in the Chemistry Lab, Cwas there ever one of us who didn't turn them on, just to be sure they worked?J and the odd collection of pickled beasts, birds and bugs in the Physics Room. CWe'll probably never forget those Physics exams we struggled through, eitherj. We'll re- member the click, click of the typewriters of the Commercial students and the odours from the Cooking Room that made our mouths water. We'll remember the sensational blue P.T. uni- forms and our huge gym with its cool brick walls. We'll conjure up fond thoughts of sliding down a bannister on an impulse, and of meet- ing a stern-faced teacher at the bottom. We'll talk about those Qwords fail us herej middies which seemed lovely to anyone who didn't have to wear them and iron them. Then we'll remember the awful rumour that went 'round to the effect that girls wearing ankle sox would be expelled. We'll remember the short-lived fad of pinning tiny silver bells to skirt hems and the dark, menacing eyes of teachers upon us. fTis said the fad came to a quite sudden and terrifying end-We shudder at the blood-curd- ling storylj Then how could we forget the time someone hid teacher's text book for two whole days, or the time we had the waste basket carried down the aisle to us fimaginelj when we forgot and visibly chewed our gum. We'll remember the thousand times we wrote Silence is Golden for talking in class, and the time, when for the same offense, we stood in a corner for a whole period! How we shuddered when the Inspector lurked stealthily in Latin class, and how we wished we were in China when it was our turn to translate in French! And we'll always and always remember Algebra, simply because we can't get its horrible memory off our minds. Weill remember the smiling friendly faces in the locker rooms, and the quarrels and even the tears! But above all, we'll remember the four most important initials in our school life, and every- thing so dear for which they stand: yes,- we'll never, never forget our P.C.V.S.! MARALDN' MUNRO. PURPLE PATCHES He Did Not Forget by ELEANOR orovnz, xm A Ac. The new snow covering the sidewalks of New York was being viciously disrupted from its placid state of rest that morning by the toes of a certain small pair of heavy black over- shoes. These toes were digging down into the snow and sending little sprays of white balls before them as they were dragged, slowly and dejectedly along. On closer observation the overshoes were found to be attached to a small boy, Peter by name, whose eyes were closely following the action of his feet. His whole appearance was downcast, from his toes which we have already described, and his hands which were lost in the depths of the big pockets in his blue home-made coat, up to the tassel hang- ing from the top of his red toque. Hi Pete! The loud shout broke the silence of the morn- ing air. In answer, an al- most inaudible Hin, emerged from the folds of the snow- white, neatly darn- ed muffler tied about Peter's neck. The voice, un- daunted, continued. Look 't the swell sleigh I got fo r Christmas, Pete. it i SB 'Q-ac 9 That's what mum said, but if he's gonna give me something else I wish he'd hurry up. I think he's forgotten all about it. Peter then continued on his solitary way while his friend departed with the shining sled. Peter's mother and father would not return home until evening, so that he had a whole day at his disposal, during which he might go wherever he pleased, regardless of the distance. He didn't care where he was going. In fact he didn't care about anything today. Even a dog fight was passed by with only a casual glance- a very rare occur- rence indeed. He trudged along until his wanderings fin- ally came to an end at the Opera House. Many times be- fore he had stood there in the street to watch those m o r e privileged than he, as they en- tered the famous building. He little thought that in a few years, he him- self, with his moth- er and father, would be gazed on and envied by others just as he had been wont to do then. P e t e r watched rather disinterested- ly as a gentleman got out of a taxi and went towards the ' Xl 153 5 -9 o 3-o 1 ., H, 1- , b ' 0 C ' Q .- Q I - iii g- ! -i .i Q' if 1 -1-' . fa ,Q 1.2K I ' if-fl . f-i52'flasl.' i.. '-I 7 : -- , '2- The various merits of the sleigh having been duly viewed and acknowledged, Peter's friend desired to know what Peter had received from the idolized Santa Claus, whereupon Peter gave the follow- ing explanation: Yuh see, I didn't know what I wanted for Christmas, so I wrote to Santa Claus and told him to bring what he thought I'd like best. I wanted a pair of skates, or a puppy at least, but he only left me a jack-knife. It's a swell jack- knife if I'd wanted itf' Maybe he ain't been able to think up what y'd like yet. Maybe he'll give you somethun' else when he thinks of it. Peter then continued on his solitary 'wayf' House, but sprang into action instantly when he saw that the man had dropped something in the snow. The lost wallet - for it was a wallet - having been recovered, Peter ran after the man, tugged at his coat-tail, and when he turned around, mutely handed him the leather case. The man looked bewildered and astonished for a moment, then spluttered his confused thanks and offer- ed Peter a generous reward which his parents' careful training had taught him to refuse. As the boy turned to go away, the man called him back. I say, would you like to hear the rehearsal? You may come in with me if you wish. Page Seventeen Peter did not need to be coaxed. Incredulous and wide-eyed he followed the gentleman, who led him to a seat near the stage. After his bene- factor had left he began to feel self-conscious. He thought that every eye in the huge building was focused on his worn clothes and untidy ap- pearance. His ears were burning furiously and he knew that his face was red. Today, a dress rehearsal of Aida was to be performed. From the moment when the curtain rose until it fell for the last time, Peter watched enraptured. He was no longer the little boy seated in the audience. It was he who was the king, seated on the luxurious throne. It was he who was riding a great elephant. These were even bigger than those he had seen in the circus parade. Little shivers ran up and down his spine as the tenor voice soared and fell to the music of the sublime aria Celeste Aida. Tears pricked in the back of his eyes as a result of the magnificence of the grand march. When it was all over he paused to recover himself. Almost before he was aware of it, the gentleman who had been responsible for his admission came to him and escorted him to the dressing room of the leading tenor where most of the actors, singers and dancers had gathered. There, Peter became the centre of attraction. They were surprised to find that he was as familiar with the opera as one who had under- stood Italian. When he was asked where he had gathered his information, Peter threw up his head proudly, his face beaming. My father told me. My father knows every- thing. Shortly after dark Peter burst into his home where his parents were sitting in the front room. His eyes were sparkling, his breath was short from running and excitement. I saw 'Aida' 'cause I found a man's money and I can go again and you and Daddy can come with me. All this was said in one long breath. After he had given a more coherent account of his experiences, his mother turned to him and said, Peter, don't you think you should write a letter to Santa Claus? You see, he did not forget. F utility by SYLVIA BOORMAN, XIII A AC. I'd won! I was victorious, A world was mine, a world in which I was the king, the god, the head, A world to rule, and show My might to lesser men. I had but to lift my thumb And bring it down, to crush the man Who even dared to go against my will. No one there was to brook my frenzied passion, My wish was their command, My orders they obeyed as slave a man. I walked alone into the night Exultant, proud, ambition 'tained: The world before, below me lay My footstool, none so great as I, Not even God: I was god, I!! And then I looked up in the sky, The star-filled sky, Infinite, vast .... The stars Unattainable, beyond my reach: Unconquered worlds. And suddenly, I felt So . . . Insignificant. Page Eighteen Spring Comes To The City by MARION BROWN, sp. com. Spring is that time of year when every poet who values his reputation becomes effusive about the joys of country. Settled snugly in some city apartment, these would-be imrnortals dutifully sing the joys of country life. They praise the music of running brooks, the quiet- ness of country nights, the clean country air, and the sweet songs of returning birds. It would be safe to wager that not one of these poetry automats ever got bogged in the mire on a country road because one of the pretty running brooks had over-done things a little, or got to windward of a manure heap on a warm spring day. Yes, the country is very pretty in spring, but it's also darned uncom- fortable. And while the poets hymn the joys of country life, spring comes to the city. She comes without fanfare, or roll of drums, herald- ed only by the shining spears of rain that wash the city streets clean of mud and slush. She invades the city like an invisible army, whose generals are the fat, pompous robins and whose diplomats are the pale gold beams of the re- turning sun. By the time the city awakes to the invasion it is too late to resist, for spring has stolen into every back yard and left behind her a garrison of springing grass and swelling buds. She has visited the city parks and called to her allies, the tulips and the daffodils, to come forth and invest the beds of rich brown earth with their beauty. She has breathed on the gaunt, naked maple trees and their branches are veiled in a mesh of pale green that gleams in the light of street lamps with an almost un- bearable beauty that clutches at the throat and brings sharp tears to sting the eyelids. On awakening lawns the robins pull fat worms from the damp earth and cheerfully dictate the terms of surrender. This is how spring comes to the city while the blind and deaf poets sit at home and sing of running brooks. Summer Night by MAmON BROWN, sp. COM Earth draws the night about her Like a cloak of jewelled velvet Clasped with sleep. The west wind, weary with his day-long play, Sleeps, pillowed on the distant hills, And dreams of day. Each nodding daisy bows her head And wraps her silver petals close Against the chilly dew. And busy wings are softly folded now, Drowsed by the incense of the cedar tree To dreamless sleep. And all good things that love the day Sleep soundly through the summer night. Then why am I awake? Timber by THOMAS ofxvues, x c mo. Ants. Nestling in a timber clothed valley, hemmed in by snow covered hills lay a logging camp, bustling with activity in the crisp wintry air. Wisps of grey smoke rose lazily from the cook- house chimney into the cold blue sky in which stars still glittered. Within the warm cookhouse long shadows iiitted on the log walls, cast there by the glowing logs be cut into long white boards. A lumberjack braced himself on top of each load and pried log after log loose. These rolled down a log slide onto the saw track where they were fastened down with steel clamps. Rumbling along they came to the whistling saw and as it bit into the soft white wood it screamed shrilly and spat chips for rn a n y in the fireplace. E ' yards.

Alighting from the sleighs the axemen set to felling mighty giants of the forest. Saws whined and axes bit as straining men bent be- neath the towering trunks of these forest mon- archs. Soon huge logs were rolling onto the log piles and as each sleigh was piled high it was drawn off to the camp, where the logs were, to hilarating w o r k. huge appetites were again built up. As it came to earth, a warning timber! rang the knell of each great tree, that took a century to grow and a day to fall. Higher and higher grew the piles in the lumber yard as the afternoon wore on. Hanging in the western sky the setting sun again cast lengthening shades throughout the darkening forest. As the last glow faded behind purple clouds, tired but happy men trudged home through the deep, cold, snow, to hearty meals and warm beds. Page N iueteen A Thunderstorm by HELEN LONG, X B COM. The clouds W e r e black and menacing. The wind was be- ginning to moan in the tall pines surrounding the lake. A sailboat III near the centre of the lake was being driven by wind and waves farther away from its landing. The wind became stronger and the waves bigger. Then-a flash of lightning and a tremendous crash of thunder, and down came the storm. Peal upon peal of thunder shook the earth and flashes of lightning seared the heav- ens. Though it was still early morning, it look- ed almost like dusk. Branches were torn from trees by the wind, which was now a howling gale. Far out across the sheet of turbulent water a speck could be identified as the over- turned sailboat. The rain became a white sheet blotting out even this blurred scene. Water ran in little rivers down the woodpath and formed little lakes in the hollows. Still the thunder crashed, as if the earth would be rent asunder. How long this kept up we had no idea, but the minutes crawled by like hours. Then the distant rumble of thunder and a soft, regular drip from the leaves proclaimed the passing of the storm. Canada by TED sn-IARP, nx H Canada stands for Freedom, And proud we are of it, We are all for Winston Churchill We're behind him every bit. Canada stands for Freedom, We will fight to the last stronghold, We will fight to the very last man, And we'll not be bribed by gold. Canada stands for Freedom, And stands for Democracy- And we will flatten all oppressors That strive to enslave the free. Page Twenty Moonlight Meditation by vAu.e1'rA BOLTON, ux A In the quiet winter evenings, When the fire has burned down low, I look out through the window Across the fields of snow. And a sort of wonder fills me, As I see the beauty there, Which drives away my Worries, And all my day-time care. For the kindly moon sheds silvery light On the rolling fields of snow, The forest stands all dark and still Within its splendid glow. Like fairy chimes sound sleigh bells, Across the cold air clearg And close upon their tinkling A fox's bark I hear. And this pure and shining beauty, Brings me lasting peace so deep, That magic world of midnight, When mortals are asleep. I Love You by MARY WAITE, XIII A AC. I love you with the freshness of my youth, Which, sparkling, scintillating, dew-distilled O'erflows in all my dreams. I love you with the fragrance of my soul, Close wrapp'd around to comfort you If dreary 1ife's way seems. I love you with the fervence of my life- A burning flame of constant loving warmth To guard you on your way. I love you as a bird might love the air, In breathless ecstacy and zest of life When winging through the blue. I love you as the children love a star On which to wish, and in excitement wait For wishes to come true. I love you as a mother loves her babe, In tenderness-a giving, hoping love. I love you as I pray. Nocturne by HUGH KENNER, xm A Ac. All diamonded, with quivering silver darted And shining bars, The lake breathes quiet, clasping the pale moon's daughter, Splendid with stars. The black pines, and the black pines in the water, Star-lustred o'er Stand sunder'd, shadow and wavering shadow parted By silent shore. The lndian's Return' by MARnoN BARRETT, xu B H. ARTS Plunging and rearing through places narrow, One frail canoe on that treacherous river, Shoots like a dripping silver arrow 'Leased from an lndian's long-bow quiver. He paddles well, that warrior bold, Though the vicious waters pound and churn, Over the rocks he slips their hold, While a dusky maiden awaits his return. The Indian's alert, though he chants a song, For he's paddled this way before, His heart is glad as he flashes on, Behind him now is the rapids' roar. Now over the sparkling water he glides, Then rings clear the Indian sentinel's call, On the setting sun's red rays he rides To his home on the shore, as shadows fall. The Old Mill DONALD WHITTAKER In a setting of rustic beauty is an old flour mill-a gaunt and de- serted building left by an ever-rushing and progressive world. A small stream trickles over the rotten log dam and the old raceway is but a bed of wash- ed rock. An old corduroy road, over-grown with grass and trees leads away from it and is lost in a vigorous growth of timber. As a large pine stands guard over the old mill its cone-laden branches brush the roof and the breezes sigh through its boughs. The roof has fallen in and the moss-covered timbers are beginning to decay. Creeping vines with long tentacles have covered two of the four windows, while the sturdy walls from which most of the plaster has fallen are showing the signs of having weathered many stormy years. The aged Water wheel has become loosened from its axle and lies in a pool of stagnant water. How many more years will it survive-this old land mark of the past? The Rain by ELEANOR DOYLE, Xl com. The blue sky darkens and the sun retires, And the birds all twitter with glee, The iiowers uplift their dainty heads, The bull-frog sings near the daffodil beds, And the rain sweeps over the sea. Gentle, refreshing drops of rain, Caressing each violet and rose, Each blade of grass and every Hower, Dancing alone or in shady bower, While the gentle breezes blow. Tiny rills of rain and sand, Running over the lea, Gaily singing and laughing on, As faster and faster they travel down To the foaming, white-capped sea. Refreshing each vale and meadow green, Giving the birds their drink, Luring each plant from out the ground, The dew-worm from his earthly mound, And flowing on to the swirling brink. Sweeping over the city streets, Leaving each roadside clean, A touch of fragrance from out the sky, Sent from the glorious One on High, From the azure blue to the fields of green.

A Day of an R.A.F. Pilot by WELDON FANNING, x B Ac. minutes. A Dornier dove into the channel while still another spiralled down with smoke pour- Our squadron is located somewhere on the east coast of England . There are nine pilots and the squadron commander, plus twelve mechanics. We are all from Canada except three of the mechs . One morning about 3.30 the alarm siren start- ed its ear-shattering howl. Our flight, two other pilots and myself, were resting in the ready- room. We grabbed our helmets, goggles and mitts, and sprinted for our planes. They were ready-warmed for occasions like this, so we jumped into the cockpits and were off. About five miles out in the channel we met them, four Dorniers and six Messerschmitts on an early morning raid. The odds were three to one but we knew our friends were not far be- hind, so we dove to the attack. In the first clash, one Messe-rschmitt went down and a Dornier gunner would never shoot again. One of the deadly Messerschmitts had a position on my tail but the rest of our mates joined the scrap and that plane joined its former comrade in the channel. There was quite a fuss for a few Pngr' Tll'!'Ilfjj-fIl'0 ing from its port engine. . The sad part of the affair was that we had lost one of our men. He had attacked a Dornier whose rear gunner had a straight aim. As the score for this battle was four to one for us, the Germans decided to postpone their trip and head for home. We did not give chase but re- turned to our field where we turned in 'till noon. In the afternoon we received orders to ac- company a fiight of bombers into Germany. We busied ourselves till dark, making preparations. We took off about seven o'clock and dew to meet the bombers over the channel. After a one hour flight we reached our objec- tive, a factory in northwestern Germany. We had a pleasant reception from Mr, Archie , who did little damage but made a lot of noise. To top that off a few Messerschmitts came up to finish the welcome. One of the bombers was shot down into the factory where it exploded with a terrific roar. As there was much confus- ion for a few minutes we could not tell who was getting the worst of the scrap. Finally the bombers were well on their way homeg so we left the Messerschmitts to their own devices, which was mostly chasing us. We met little opposition on the way home and had time to count our battle scars. Two more of our chaps had either been killed or captured, but the Germans, according to our fellows, were about six planes short. When we landed at our field everybody was dead tired, so we turned in till the next morn- ing when we could start all over again. A Night In England by CLIFFORD ROYDHOUSE, IX H It is about ten o'clock and the majority of people are in bed trying to get a good night's sleep. But about an hour later they are awak- ened by the wailing of air-raid sirens and the blowing of whistles by policemen and air-raid wardens. In about ten minutes nearly everyone is safely inside the air-raid shelters. The older people amuse themselves by playing cards, while the children read funnies, eat candies, and keep hoping that the all-clear signal will not go until after two o'clock the next morning. Because if this happens they know that they will not have to go to school the next day until one-thirty. All of a sudden the booming of anti-aircraft guns is heard and between the burst of gunfire can be heard the drone of aeroplane engines. Then it begins. Bombs thud all over the city, the barrage of gunfire becomes more and more intense, and fire trucks dash through the streets. But in all this noise and confusion there is no panic. After half-an-hour everything is quiet once more. But the raiders will be back again before long with the remainder of the bombs which they did not drop on cities further in- land. It is about three o'clock in the morning now, and some people are still awake listening for the drone of aeroplane engines which will tell them that the raiders are coming back. Without warning bombs begin to fall. Some who ventured out to see what was happening were killed instantly by splinters either from bombs or anti-aircraft guns. Not long after, the noise dies down as quickly as it started and the all-clear signal is sounded and everybody goes wearily back to their homes. But they do not go to bed at once. Most of them have a cup of tea to steady their nerves . The men who have to go to work do not get much sleep. But the women and child- ren stay in bed. After a while everybody is up and carrying on as usual. The children run errands or play games. In the afternoon they go to school, many of them perhaps wishing that there would be an air-raid so that they would be able to go home. - The Dictators by BOB SEYMOUR, X B IND.

On the edge of the lake a camp-fire Hickered fitfully, then died down to a bed of dully glow- ing coals. Its last few rays of light barely out- lined the blanketed forms of two slumbering canoeists who had been lulled to sleep by the lapping of the waves on the beach and the rustling of the night breezes through the poplar leaves. The fire finally gave up its last spark and settled into a heap of Warm ashes. Then a thin silver crescent appeared over the tops of the trees, as the moon rose to join the myriads of stars. A narrow beam of light stole across the water gradually widening into a silvery path on the still surface of the lake. The borders of the dark forest were also touched with the silver light and the moon began its travels through the star-studded heavens. With a faint rustling a chipmunk scampered across the beach, stopped near the dead fire, sat up and curiously regarded the silent forms of the sleepers. He watched them closely for several minutes, then crept closer and again made a careful scrutiny. Finally deciding that they were harmless, he moved around and dis- covered a crumb of bread which he stored in his cheek pouch. While he was searching for more plunder one of the sleepers rolled over and immediately the chipmunk raced for his burrow between the roots of a tree, from which place he watched and waited for several minutes. He finally decided that it was not worth the risk to go near these strange crea- tures again, and scampered off into the woods. No sooner had he made his exit from the scene in one direction, than another stranger appeared from the opposite direction. Walking proudly with brush held high, the red fox pro- ceeded slowly along the shore looking for an unwary squirrel which might be running about the beach. He stopped to quench his thirst, then tested the breeze with his sensitive nose. Sud- denly he stiffened as he caught an odour which he had smelt once long before. His haughty bearing immediately left him, he remembered the day when a thunderous roar had crashed forth from some nearby bushes and his right leg had dragged loosely behind him. The hunt- ers had tracked him all day with dogs. Finally, after he had eluded his pursuers, he had spent weeks nursing his leg back to health, weeks when he had been too sore to catch even a mouse but had to subsist upon a few roots and an occasional dead fish. He trembled as he thought of it and turning tail, he fied into the forest to leave that dreaded man-smell behind. From far out on the lake came the eerie, long- drawn call of a loon. A desolate, lonely sound, it filled the night air, then faded away, and silence once more reigned, a silence broken only by faint rustlings and scurryings among the leaves, suggesting that the wood-mice were at play. Then from the dark gloom of the woods, with a slight clinking of hoofs and rustling of bushes, a magnificent stag stepped forth, fol- lowed by two does. They moved gracefully to the water's edge, waded in a few feet and began to drink. The stag, raising his head, sniffed on the faint breeze the man-smell from the camp. He snorted and moved restlessly about near the does who had also raised their heads. Suddenly, at the camp, one of the sleepers stirred, half sat up, then lay back again without noticing the deer. At the first movement the stag had frozen! Standing silhouetted against the moonlit waters, his royal head raised to listen, he re- sembled a great bronze statue. Snorting, he bounded up on the shore followed by the two does, and disappeared into the gloom from whence he had come-a royal visitor indeed to that tiny camp, if the sleepers had but known it! Once again a loon called from the lake, not an eerie and desolate sound this time, but one full of mirth, as if laughing at these creatures who slept through the night while others were up and about. Dawn was close by and over the tops of the trees at the eastern end of the lake a streak of light was gradually broadening. A faint Hush of pink suffused the grey sky. Then a single golden ray pierced an opening between two tall pines, and touching the top of a ripple, trans- formed it into a sparkling diamond. Following the example of the first ray others came shoot- ing forth, all seemingly intent on chasing the rapidly rising mist from the surface of the lake. Then with a sudden burst of fiery splendour Page Twenty-four the sun itself arose, sending a warm flood over the Water where but a few hours before had been the cold white path of the moon. With a burst of exquisite song, a woodthrush greeted the new day from his perch in the top of a tamarack. From all sides came the morning songs of countless birds: the liquid warbles of the thrushes, the teeterings of the downy woodpeckers, the loud wick, wick of the flickers, the sprightly bubblings of the Wren, the harsh strident notes of the blue- jay, and the soft cooings of the mourning doves. Amid this rapidly increasing riot of sounds, one of the sleepers awakened and nudged his companion who in turn sat up and gazed about him. By golly, he remarked, stifling a yawn, seems like I just went to bed. A fellow can surely sleep up here away from all the city noises. lt's funny that no animals disturbed us though. His companion replied, Don't you worry, no animals would come near a camp. Why, l'll bet that there weren't more than a few rabbits and mice within two miles of us last night. I suppose you thought that a deer would come along and look at you! Democracy Ar War by MARGUERHE WALKER, xm B Ac. Freedom is in peril! Defend it with all your might. Valiantly, grimly, with that inspiring slogan ever in the minds of her people, Britain has buckled down to war. Chamberlain showed us the weak state of our defences and the in- vasion of Poland showed us what had happened to nations similarly unprepared. Chamberlain had done his work, very finely, at Munich, and in this new revitalised Britain, the call was for a leader, a strong man, and so Churchill came to power. Fighting for freedom, the British people re- nounced it. Factories became Government supervised and the Government took over the production of many sources of food. Conscrip- tion came into force and the problem of organ- izing and equipping the British Army was dealt with sanely and intelligently. Even in the stress of war Britain preserved the right of individuals to hold their own beliefs, so a board dealing solely with conscientious objectors was set up. Air raid shelters sprang up all over the country, from those in London capable of hold- ing thousands, to school shelters and little family ones in suburban back yards. Huge factories were cleverly camouflaged, sound detectors were established in key points, and a ring of bristling anti-aircraft guns protected the vital war supplies and factories of Britain from the enemy bombers. Cheerfully the people submitted to a black- out which made fortunes for torch battery manufacturers and inspired several song hits. It was an eerie sight when the huge blue-lighted buses moved silently and slowly along the roads. Of course the blackout was felt mostly in the towns, but the country had its share of complications. The evacuation of many firms into the coun- try created housing, feeding, and amusement problems and gave rise to many humourous articles describing the town dweller trying to work a rusty pump in the back garden, or being wakened by horses peering in the windows. There were, too, the inevitable child evacuee stories, several of which have come across the sea and become seavacuee stories, probably be- cause of the new wartime rule of economy. Under that rule rationing came into force and busy housewives had to fill in ration books and still busier shop-keepers had their quota of forms to fill in too. In fact, the only real hard- ship suffered in the first few months of ration- ing was writer's cramp. Britain was jogging along, getting the last ounce of humour out of every situation and gradually adjusting herself to war conditions when suddenly, unbelievedly, she was fighting in Norway, then Holland, Belgium, and finally France. The situation was getting serious, and the threat of invasion was imminent, so Churchill called Britain to the defence of her beaches. Men willingly gave up their brief half-holidays to fill sandbags and pile them up around air-raid shelters, decontamination posts, police boxes and telephone boxes. The sight of air-raid wardens practising be- came quite familiar. They roped off a street, exploded practice bombs, dealt with imaginary fires and gas, and treated very real patients for imaginary injuries. And then the military really took over. Many coastal areas were made into defence areas and no one could get in or out without producing their identification cards and accounting satisfac- torily for their desire to enter the area. Every exposed beach was closed off with barbed wire and every inch of them covered with machine guns. Roads were blocked with old cars, barb- ed wire, anything, at night, and the barricades were patrolled by sentries. England was ready, and the British were prepared to defend their freedom. Herbert Morrison invented a new slogan- Go to it! So, with one eye on her beaches and ears listening for an air-raid siren, or the church bells which would herald invasion, Britain went to it. Page Twenty-five The Clue by SYLVIA BOORMAN, XIII A AC. The ring of the horses' hooves sounded clear and metallic through the frosted stillness. The hostler, hurrying across the inn-yard, beat his arms about his body in an energetic effort to keep his blood in as warm circulation as pos- sible. His breath issued forth in White clouds which seemed to hang solidified before they proved their vapourous nature by disappearing into black nothingness. The horses' mouth was hung with silver icicles. The rider, his own beard tinged with frost, threw the reins to the hostler, jumped off his horse and strodg over to the inn door. The host, white-aproned, open- ed it to him, and he entered. Inside, the air was warm and scented-the pervading odour being that of fried for frying as the r i d e r hopedl bacon. A goodly com- pany was seated around the great fireplace where a huge fire was roaring, like many a human be- ing, in defiance of all the elements, blazing away in the full glory of its youth and egotism and power - power where even human beings bow- ed before its superior merits. The human beings then availing themselves of the great one's indul- gence were a mixed lot, but all alike in that they had a common end in view - that of keeping warm. All, that is, except a friar who sat on a stool in the corner, whose main object seemed to be to obtain enough light with which to write. Near him was a little mousy man who sat With- out saying a word but stared solemnly at who- ever was speaking, and if, by some odd chance, there was a lull in the conversation, he stared with the same solemnity at the mug of ale rest- ing between his knees. Near him was a young man who made up for him in conversation, or at any rate, noise, he was full of good cheer and willing to fill himself with more. Come, he cried gaily, more ale, more ale! Le diable m'emporte if this isn't the best I've tasted in the past forty-eight hours-and, in sooth, it has had plenty of comparison! Come, my lassie, you'll fill our mugs for us, won't you, my dear? Fill them all up-it's my treat this time. Page Twmzty-six This last was delivered to a rosy-cheeked maid, who stood beside him, none the less rosy for having her cheek pinched now and then. On the other side of her sat another man who was fond of pinching-but not a young girl's pink cheeks necessarily. He was a fairly fat gentleman, every quarter-inch of whose clothes was put to good use. His small avaricious eyes were gazing fondly on his mug of ale. He was going through a series of motions whereby he wished to make, by sweet anticipa- tion, all the sweeter, the realization. He would raise the cup tantalizingly close to his nostrils, then hold it off at arm's length as though to get a last view before making it disappear for ever, then with a grand sweeping gesture, bring it to his lips-and take a tiny sip. Thus was he teasing his glands de- liciously when the loud young man called for more ale. Quickly then he downed his ale so that when t h e young girl came around, he was able to turn his mug up- side down fnot a drop ran outj and hold it out nonchalantly with the words: Well! What a coincidence. M i n e ' s empty too. Next to him sat the landlord's wife in a rocking chair, beside her a young boy whom she prudently sent off to bed when the stories began to circulate. Leaning up against the fireplace was the hostler thawing himself out, and in the corner opposite the friar, sat an old man with a white beard. The traveller having dined, joined the circle. The loud young man was becoming louder as the ale became more plentiful. The traveller remarked to the landlord that it was a frosty night out, the loud young man said that it was indeed, but not so frosty as he had known it to be. Why, one night last winter I was walking to the village three miles away, and hadn't got more than halfway there, when a pack of wolves came howling up. I was that frightened that I made the sign of the cross above my head with my sword. Well, just like that, there ap- peared a beautiful white cross in that very spot. I seized it, waved it over the wolves and every last one of them slunk away. When I Hnally reached the village and warmth, my cross disappeared. What do you suppose it was? He looked around with the confident air of one who knows his question cannot be answer- ed. Why, le diable m'emporte if it wasn't my frozen breath, he said triumphantly, and then added by way of conclusion le diable m'emporte. Amen, said the friar impiously without raising his head. The fat man chuckled-he could afford to, it being at someone else's expense. The old man who had formerly kept counsel in silence, now spoke. Take care, young man, he said. Once I knew a young fellow, Jack Robinson was his name, and that expression of yours came as readily to his lips as did ever his favorite mug. Why, a sentence was not punctuated properly for him if it didn't end with le diable m'em- porte. Ah, poor fellow, and here the old man shook his head over said reminiscences, never will I forget the night he set out for home from the Blue Goose Inn where we had been spend- ing a jolly evening. Now Jack lived half a mile or so within the Trentbury woods, and no one else was going in his direction, but, he assured us, he would get home safely, 'le diable m'emporte,' if he wouldn't. Well, that was the last ever heard of Jack Robinson. He just disappeared. When it was discovered he had not reached home, we all went to look for him. About half on the way, the path took an abrupt turn, and there the snow was trampled as though there had been a scuffle, but absolutely no sign of Jack. Of course, there were those who said the wolves devoured him, but I tell you, to this day, I and my three comrades would swear to it fonly un- fortunately they are deadj that just an arm's throw from where the snow was all trampled, there were, and here his voice lowered to a tense whisper, there were marks of a pitch fork! There was a silence, and then the loud young man with wide-eyed and amazed incredulity, whispered le diable m'emporte. Snowflakes by DOROTHY ANDERSON, IX A Snow is like tiny gems Riding on high, Floating so softly Down through the sky. Floating and lying So soft and still On a high peaked-roof Or a sheltering hill. These tiny bright jewels, The beauty they show- And to think that they're made From nothing but snow! Types At P.C.l. by WALTER WHEELER, x B mo. ,sms First we have the glamour girl, Who has the boys in such a whirl Their heads go round and round, She puts the warpaint on her face, And should not be seen in any place Except as a circus clown. Then we have the lazy lad, Who thinks that sleeping's all the fad, No riches will he reap, When other boys enjoy the din, He props his hand beneath his chin, And dozes off to sleep. We now have a student who knows his stuff, He'll figure questions long and tough, He takes work with a grin, He doesn't fool like other boys, When the teacher talks he makes no noise, But sits and takes it in. We have the lad in strange attire, A sense of colour he cannot acquire, Suitcoat pink and trousers green, A flashy tie hangs round his neck, His socks are red and brown plaid check, He goes to the extreme. We also have a camera fiend, The school hates him and his machine, For he takes some candid shots, He has several pictures of different chaps With silly looks upon their maps, But some day he'll be caught. Then there's the hero of P. C. I., For the dear old school he'll do or die Upon the rugby Held, He breaks his ankles, ribs and neck, He has the cheers of the weaker sex, A strong right arm he wields. Some students bring their midday meal, They throw crusts of bread and orange peel About the corridors, They are a pack of careless curs, They make lots of work for the janitors, By mussing up the iioors. And last we have the country hick, Who comes through weather thin and thick, To attend the dear old school, For brains, you'd think he'd be the worst But when reports come he's near the first I guess he's no one's fool. Page Twenty-seven This Age OF Speed by ELEANOR DOYLE, xi com. Speed! The theme of the youths that populate this world today. The thrill of the race against time. But do we stop to think for five minutes what disaster and tribulation follow in its wake? The great meaning of one five letter word. We walk along a crowded street where traffic is kept in check by the trusty policeman. Used to this mode of regu- lated speed we do not realize that on the high- way a small coupe with a young dare-devil at the wheel may be racing to a sudden and disastrous stop. Do we consider that on the race track small race cars are skidding around corners, one slips, and many pile up over the little four-wheeled messenger from death? In one congested mass of human beings and twist- ed metal lies the ruination of many other people's lives. The grief-stricken young sweet- heart, the heart-broken mother, and the father that can't grasp the fact that his son is gone. Speed, that will succeed a hundred times but will fail on the next journey. The thrills, the successes, the anxieties are all not worth the final triumph. There will always remain the people whose lives have been ruined and whose dreams have been shattered by our modern menace-speed. Concentration by sumtsv Asnsv, sp. com.

You are expected to do your duty was in the air-and who ever heard of a P. C. I.'r shirking his duty! No sooner had the halls been aired to rid them of that final examination odour when the students hurried back to begin summer war work under the fine leadership of Miss Mclntosh and Miss Gerrard. For those girls well acquainted with the ins and outs of sewing there was plenty to sew, for those girls who looked doubtfully at the needle, Wondering which end should be stuck in first-there were plenty of band- Thumbs Up ln P.C.V.S. ages to wind. Everyone was very busy. The summer soon passed with the domestic students doing their cut- ting. sewing, and winding, while the industrial students were plugging along in munition factories, on farms, or in training camps. VVhen school started the time- tables were arranged to give the boys from 3:30 to 4:00 three nights a week, in which to take outdoor ex- ercises and the girls to indulge in knitting and sewing. Again everyone was busy. Boys' chests expanded with that one, two, three stretch g knit- ting and sewing piles climbed higher with that click, click of needles and the buzz of sewing machines. Soon the school became War Savings Stamp conscious. The weekly objective was decided upon and the big drive commenced. Again every one was busy. So far the efforts have been generously rewarded. In fact, the original objective was put to shame and a higher mark has been named. Throughout the term various com- mittees have been planning and carrying out their plans to make money in aid of war work. Papers have been stacked high and carted away, homemade candy has been colorfully packaged and retailed, Christmas decorations have been artistically designed and sold. P.C.V.S. students believe in pulling their own weight. Everyone has been very busy -and shall be to the end. -M. E. BTCCARRELL. Stamps And Certificates Daily the public is reminded from bill boards on every street and radios in every home to buy War Saving Stamps and Certificates re- gularly. But often reminders are not enoughg many times a persuasive salesman is needed to effect the actual sale. According to our success- ful agents there are definitely two ways to go about this business. A clear illustration was given in morn- ing assembly by two short skits. Bob Smith, a so-called stamp salesman, enters the home of Mrs. Jones, a neighbour. Bob slumps into a comfortable chair while Mrs. Jones inquires about the price and number of War Saving Stamps required to receive a Certincate. Salesman Bob mumhles that he isn't quite sure of the price, but he believes about twenty stamps are needed to get a Certificate. The money is returned in fifteen or twenty years. Now don't take his word for it because he's not certain about these details. Yes, if he has time he may call back and get Mrs. Jones' money for some stamps. Of' course, the second skit clearly showed the successful salesman, a dapper, well-spoken boy explaining to Mrs. Van Snort just why she should buy stamps, not forgetting the handsome returns at the end of seven and one-half years. Obliging- ly he offered to call for her money and deliver the stamps. Mrs. Van Snort becomes the regular purchaser.

What sports do you have in your school? We play cricket, football, tennis, ground hockey, and rugby. From September to April we play football, and cricket during the other months. Are the teams inter-scholastic or inter-form? Both, and inter-house too. What do you mean by inter- house? When you enter high school, you are put in one of four houses and you are a member of the same house all during school. Each house has its own name and colors. VVhat do you wear to school? The girls wear green tunics, cream blouses, white ties, black stockings, shoes, and coats, black velour hats and green checked dresses and pana- ma hats. Boys wear blazers in school colors with the crest on the pocket and caps. They never wear trilbys-you call them fedoras here -to school. Are Canadian teachers the same as English ones? Teachers here are more friendly with the pupils and not so strict in classes. IVhat about homework? We have a homework time table which allows us forty minutes home- work a night in four definite sub- jects. At the end of term the head- master discusses your report with you personallyf Do you think English girls grow up more quickly than Canadian girls? No, I don't think so. VVhen we do grow up, weire more grown up but it takes us longer. English girls don't wear so much stuff on their faces and nails, added Cliff Royd- house with a grin. How do you spend your summer holidays? We usually go down to the sea shore, and if you already are at the sea shore, you go to some other sea shore or to the country. Thank you. This has all been very interesting. DEAR STUDENTS: In England I attended Bridgnorth Grammar School, a very impressive building standing on a hill just out- side the town of Bridgnorth. There is not a great deal of difference be- tween my old school and the Peter- borough Collegiate, athough there are more pupils attending here and the studies and sports do differ slightly. I find that the teachers are more friendly with the students, and not so strict in classes. We play a great many team games over there, each class having a team as you do in volleyball and basketball. The girls play ground hockey, which is much the same as the hockey played by boys here, only we use a ball instead of a puck. After classes in the summer we play tennis on the courts in the school grounds, and go swimming in the pool adjoining the courts. Although, I must admit, I enjoy- ed going to school in England more than I do in Canada, I am very thankful to be so safe and happy here. Sincerely, SHIRLEY WHITTAKER, Grade IX I.

Ruth Telford There was no doubt that Oliver Goldsmith's rich comedy She Stoops to Conquer would lose none of its fun when presented by the Dramatic Club under the direction of hir. R. L. Hale and Bliss D. hI. White. When those two put their heads together, wasn't the result always a success? Weren't the cast working overtime to acquire professional skill? Hadn't the committees continued their search till all the properties were elaborately complete? Hadn't Mr. Johnston and his stage-crew kept up a terrific pace until the skilful lighting and back- drop system were smoothly under control? Were not hfiss Weddell and her singing cherubs keyed to a fine pitch? Mr. Maybee and his newly re- vised orchestra raring to prove their ability? Yet to-night was the night and I couldn't get much enthused. Imagine! But that was before I saw, heard, and enjoyed the play. Perhaps my humble praises of this great production sound stereotyped, but if you saw She Stoops to Conquer, you can appreciate how very sincere they are. To Conquer M annerisms: An absolute lack of stiffness and puppet-like action so often associated with school plays. Lines: Amazingly smooth! Only one prompting fa record not to be sneez- ed atli Characters: Even the smallest part was well cast, as witness Diggory, the hlaid, and the Landlady. Remarkable was the regularity of the splendid acting- all characters being almost equally fine. Never has there been a sweeter leading lady than Barbara Bothwell -her smile, voice, laugh, grace-just perfect. Frank Foley proved that Tony Lumpkin was, as the name implies, rather dense but exceedingly funny. hlaurine Fisher and Barbara Nicholls were simply a howl', in the part of hopelessly vacant-looking servants. Irene hlichaud displayed her high spirits Cat their highest in the gard- en scenel in the role of the affected mother who goes hysterical on the slighest provocation. More dashing suitors were never born than Bill Graham and Alan Johnson. Sylvia Boorman was an accomplished Miss Neville. Armstrong and Gourley brought the last act to a rousing finish. Costumes: Costumes were standing, rich in colour, handsome have lived in the Scenery: The panelled drawing-room-ela- borate. The ale-house-disreputable. The evening garden-a fairy para- dise. Voice: Enunciation was beautifully clear. Softer than music was the clear, sweet, but emphatic voice of the leading lady. Predictions: A star is born-Barbara Both- well: a second Billie Burke-Irene Michaudg a New York stage actor- Earle Armstrong: fumiier than Zasu Pitts-ltlaurine Fisher. Comments: Heard on leaving the Auditorium: I believe I enjoyed the music most of all! fEither a lover of good music or Mr. Maybee's cousin's unclej . . . I-Iasn't the leading lady a charming voice? CWe think so too.J .... Doesn't Miss Isabel Weddell look lovely leading her particularly out- both fabric and in design. Ah, to 1700'sl girls? fTrue words.J . . . Surely this has been the best school play everf' QYou can say that againj Appreciation: To Mr. Hale and Miss White and all their faithful assistants, heartiest congratulations on the wonderful success and sincerest thanks for adding another page to our Book of illemories.

CHAIRMAN: To-day another commencement is upon us, bringing to me the privilege of saying a few words of farewell to you. on behalf of the graduating class Of 194-0. From the day we first sat in this assembly hall five years ago, Peter- borough Collegiate and Vocational School has been a part of our daily lives. These have been five years of social fellowship and pleasant recrea- tion. of n1ental and physical improve- ment. During this time we have made friendships not to be easily broken, associations not to be soon forgotten. This is why Commencement brings us of the graduating class a day of joy mingled with regret,-joy in the realization of certain ambitions. and regret at the interruption of relations which we have so long sustained with each other. Perhaps what is most responsible for our respect and love for P. C. I. is the excellence of its teaching staff. Under the very capable leadership of Dr. Kenner, the teachers have played an unselfish and helpful part in our school life. Always willing to give advice and time whenever needed, patiently explaining the simplest problems to us, and enabling us to surmount the difficulties that ap- peared continually, they took in all the students a genuine interest for which we shall always feel grateful. Under their guidance the various teams learned to put forth all that was in them on the field of battle, and either to win modestly or to lose courageously in the manner of true sportsmen. These qualities have always been apparent in our school athletics. We owe much to the Students' Council, which attended to the various literary and social func- tions so necessary in an all-round education: to The Echoes, our school magazine which earned such a high position among the school publica- tions of the province: and to the cadet corps, which each year has so distinguished itself on parade. Perhaps at the time we did not ap- preciate this kindly supervision: per- haps we did not think it necessary. Out of high school, however, there is not always present the helping hand of teachers whose advice and warn- ings come out of a clear sky at the right moment and always save the day. There is a big difference. There is no one to tell us that we are slip- ping until we are in danger, and then we are told by mail. The letter tells us of our poor showing, and the re- sults of continuing in the same way without a change for the better. And then-it's up to us. Now, for the first time we are free to come and go. No one seems to care what we do. The worst thing we can do is to satisfy ourselves with getting-by. Who knows of a really successful business man who ever tries to get by? More than ever before, it's up to us! And so. on behalf of those who have left P. C. I. so recently, I wish to express our deepest appreciation of all the help received while we were preparing in the school for the broad- er responsibilities of our future lives. To you who are now the graduating class at P. C. V. S. we leave the high standards and ideals of this school. cherish them: honour Protect them: them. You are now the leaders-lead your school to new honours and up- hold forever the garnet and grey, the dearest colours in the world. BILL HENRY, Queen's University.

At The Training Centres In addition to those listed on the previous page many of our students and ex-students are training with the Prince of Wales Rangers or with the local Battery. Others are in uniform acting as instructors and performing other duties at the training centres. They are Rae Borland, Sam Patte, Ken Brown, Tom Stanley, Frank Pammett. We realize that there are many errors and omissions in our active service list but it has been a pleasure to The Echoes to be able to continue this record from last year. We should like to thank all those wl1o have con- tributed information and should wel- come any further details. In accordance with censorship re- gulations we are not publishing these specific details, but such information as we have been able to glean through the co-operation of the student body is necessary for the sending of parcels and will be record- ed by The Echoes for this purpose. Christmas Parcels This year thirty Christmas parcels were sent to as many ex-students of P.C.V.S. The boys who received par- cels were those who had attended our school since 1935 and who are now on active service overseas, in the navy, or on coastal patrol. Miss Thompson, at the head of the pack- ing committee, was assisted by Mary Curry, Betsy English, June Burrows, Grace Lundy, Mac Powell, Jack Dinsdale, Mac Campbell, Bill Crowe, Bill Allen. Addresses for these par- cels were obtained from The Echoes' active service list. Page Thirty-seven Overseas News Mentioned In Dispatches One of our boys, Acting Leading Seaman Robert Middleton, has earn- ed the privilege of being mentioned in dispatches for courageous Work in an enemy submarine attack. He has brought great honour to his country, to his city, and to his Alma Mater. P.C.V.S. is justly proud of him! At Dunlcirlc Among members of the High- landers who were in the evacuation at Dunkirk was a Peterborough boy, an ex-student of P.C.V.S. Corporal Stanley NIcNeely. Letters December 19, 1940. To the Students of P.C.V.S.- Thank you very much for the lovely parcel which I received from you today-I don't think any of you can realize how I felt when I knew that my old school hadn't forgotten me. I don't suppose any of my old school-mates are there now, but I feel as if I know you all just the same. I think an old soldier must have decided what to put in the parcel, as I can assure you that I wasted no time opening that tin of Planteris peanuts and starting to eat the candy. In fact right now my left hand strays in the direction of the peanuts so much that my writing is quite handicapped. I am afraid to think of Miss Thompson's remark when she views this lovely penman- ship. And I'm afraid I won't want to wear those garnet and gray socks yet. I want to have those with me, right through this war, as a sort of good luck charm. I remember the first morning we saw German bombers at close range and I donit think I'll forget that ex- perience for quite a while. It hap- pened at about six o'clock in the morning. We heard them approach- ing but at that time we were unable to distinguish between the sound of enemy and our own planes. So we stood in the doorway of our hut and counted them as they came out of thc clouds. We still didn't realize who they were until they began their dive. I can assure you, that we didn't waste much time, then, getting either Page Thirty-eight into our shelters or at our machine guns. It was quite noisy for awhile but all Jerry succeeded in doing was to knock down a couple of our huts. Unfortunately one oflicer and a wo- man died, with a couple of our fel- lows. But two Jerry planes were down by our camps, and the others didn't get home to tell about it, as they were caught before they reached the coast. Jerry has done considerable dam- age in London, but the spirit and morale of the people is just as high, if not higher, than it ever was. They are having things a little more quiet now and I feel very glad for them, as they certainly deserve it. I visited my aunt a few weeks ago tin Lon- donl and she and the family had not slept in a bed for over sixty con- secutive nights, but in an Anderson shelter. The air-raid siren has just gone, and I have a special duty to per- form, so I'm afraid I will have to close this rather short letter, again thanking each and every one of you for remembering me, Yours, as I was at school, just- HOUGHTON. December 16, 1940 To Students of P.C.V.S.- I am taking this opportunity of thanking you for the most welcome parcel, which I received yesterday morning. It was delivered to me here, in the hospital, where I have been for the last four weeks undergoing a minor operation, and it relieved the monotony and brightened the day to such an extent that the doctor said I didn't even look sick. I am almost completely recovered, and with a little luck I should be out be- fore Christmas, even though all we will have, is the memories of former years to bring us the cheer and hap- piness that is usually ours at this time of the year. Thanking you all again, and wishing the school all the best for the coming year, I remain, A former pupil, L. G. CAINIPBELL. Prison er Of War In our quest for soldiers' addresses we learned with regret that a former student of the school is a prisoner of war in Germany. He is Kenneth Cooper of an infantry unit of the British Army. Information? Thanks! Even looking for ex-students' homes has its humorous side. Shall we take, for example, the location of Reuben Hooley, of 22 Dunlevie Avenue. Upon arriving at this site we find a vacant lot, beautifully decorated by a dilapidated sign- board. Then we decide to take the easiest way, and sitting down at the tele- phone we Hip merrily through the phone book in search of a Joseph Thompson. Whereupon we ind that there are exactly twenty-one families by that name. Well, patience is a virtue and so resignedly we begin to dial number after number and con- sistently the voice at the other end of the wire sounds very, very dazed. Oh well! there's still the city direc- tory and a bicycle. One of our number had a very singular experience. The quest was a certain apartment. After wander- ing upstairs and down the right door was finally discovered. Repeated loud knockings brought no results. Then just as the caller was about to take his departure an infuriated gentle- man appeared. Our worthy investi- gator stated his requirements. There- upon he was told in no uncertain terms that he had interrupted a bath, but Hnally the Whole matter was settled without any hard feelings. And the result of all these travels was that the members of the com- mittee were one and all absolutely befuddled by the existence at one time of exactly twelve different lists, each of which had to be kept up-to- date. Anyway, we are all still alive. Serve By Saving There is a land we love so well, That lies across the seag Whose shores are now being raided by The planes of Germany. The question is, How can we help This land we all adore, To keep the planes of Germany From bombing any more? At last the answer we have found, For each to do his share By buying several stamps or bonds, Each Monday of the year. In seven years and then a half, The money we have spent, Will be returned with high interest' And we have saved and lent. 7 Joan GILLESPIE, IX C.

After the tall, while-haired ibut handsome, il' I may say sol ltlonsieur de lieaubien was introduced in a com- plicated. statesman-like way. he paid Page Forty Graduates Cn Parade The immaculate graduates, beam- ing scholarship winners, and proud parents filled the P.C.V.S. Auditor- ium on Friday, December 6. This was their day! When each graduate had received his rolled and ribboned certificate, Canon W. P. Robertson held the audience with an exceedingly fine address consisting of school-day reminiscences, an exhortation, and two book reviews. Characteristically Canon Robertson effected strong emphasis by his special mannerisms which are a minor study in them- selves. The entertainment was of the best. Miss Isobel Weddell conducted her Girls' Glee Club through two French- Canadian numbers. Many of the audience could be heard humming A la Claire Fontaine and Vivie la Compagnie while leaving the hall- a sure proof that Miss Weddell and her forty song-birds had made a deep impression. The Dramatic C1ub's presenta- tion of the Tragical Comedy of Pyramus and Thisbe was altogether up to the standard we have come to expect of Mr. Hale and his thespians. Leslie Groombridge as the diminu- tive red-headed swain and Mollie Brown, who played the part of the adored Thisbe charmingly in her bed- sheet a la mode, blue cape, and white carnation, stole the show from one another by turns. Bob Crocker, as the lion. roared his way through a part which he had no trouble memorizing. The climax of the Commencement Exercises was the naming of the Princeps Alumnus and Princeps Alumna. Mr. C. S. Browne made both these announcements and ap- peared to be having the time of his life. His constant composure and his sense of humour were never more evident. After lingering over the salient points of their careers, he named Margaret Westbye and Hugh Kenner as Head Boy and Girl. Graduation Tea At the delightful tea given by the teaching staff after the proceedings everyone had a chance to talk at once fyou know how teas arell Of course, everyone is very eager to hear all about the fun Betty and Joan are having at college, how Fran is progressing in the business world, and to assure the Head Girl how perfectly thrilling. A typical Com- mencement Tea! Come On Graduates, Let's Dance Benny Barrett and his Cornhusk- ers blasted QI believe that's the wordj the ickies from the gym walls, blew them right onto the Hoor with all the jittering jivers. And was everybody happy! A fine floor-show was provided by Miss Leone Com- stock fwhat more could be desiredj accompanied by Stan Northrop. Leone danced her graceful way through My Alice Blue Gown-from the picture of the same name. tribute to our sehool's war savings work and outlined the Governments need for money in English and em- phasized it in French. Jerry Wooll Feminine hearts fluttered, mascu- line spirits soared high, while Jerry addressed his admirers in a delight- fully humorous manner, explaining the formation and division duties of the Royal Air Force. Pilot Officer Gerald Wooll. himself a graduate of P.C'.I., knew the most desired 1-harac-tcristics in a school address- lengthy enough to extend through first period. Consequently, the air was filled with music and through several patriotic numbers, including the English favourite Tiggerty Boo, Jerry led the very willing assembly. It is Monday morning, so of course you wake up feeling very Mondayish fyou know that dark brown with purple trimmings feelingl. You come to school and remember that you for- got to do your week-end homework. Thus you don't feel one bit happier. You wander to morning assembly ltrying to rub the sleep from your eyes and keep in line, tool and there you find not a little ray, but a whole beam of sunshine. What could be more inspiring, more stimulating, than lNIiller's Pc-nnsylvania 65000 and Scrub Me Mamma washing your blues away-you are 11ow quite in the mood to jive back to classes blessing the Students' Council for purchasing such a wonderful radio. On other mornings the lovers of Bach and Schubert receive their treat with Miss Weddell at the con- trol, explaining the finer points of such recordis. Unfortunately, some of the students have not yet master- ed the art of snoring harmoniously with such beautiful rhapsodies. Music and Memories Friday, December 27. DEAR DIARY: Tonight everyone had so much fun. You should have seen the gaily- garbed butterflies dancing with the handsomely polished penguins - a picture really. No, Glenn lililler and Tommy Dorsey were both booked for to- night-but Patsy Connel and his rhythmical pals filled the air of the newly decorated gym. Yes, that ball- room of garnet and gray streamers strangely and delicately entwined, panelled red, white, and blue walls interspersed with large school crests really was the good ol' gym. Garner and Gamble Inc. were responsible for this wonderful arrangement - the ceilings so low that gay couples wish- ed to reach up and pull down hand- fulls of crepe. Thus the decorations struck a medium between illusion and temptation. For the first few twirls around the ballroom it was hard to conceive just what the added charm was tonight- for certainly there was something different. Why, of course, it was the modern indirect lighting casting soft shadows on the ceiling and walls. The gala atmosphere was given a very special touch by the many handsome representations of the navy, army, and air force. QNO wonder the old- fashioned balls are painted as such gay, romantic aHairs!J Just look at my poor, beautiful orchid-so crushed! Nevertheless, be- tween the pages of my huge dream book it shall be pressed with my memories of tonight. Rugby and Basketball Dances Perhaps everyone takes the rugby and basketball dances for granted. There is a. home game so naturally there will be a gay celebration in the gym tonight. However, it really isn't fContinued on Page 65D What's The Matter With Me Believe-it-or-not, girls, we're far from perfect. Well, that's what a number of boys said in Good H ouse- keeping Magazine when they were asked what they thought of the modern high school girl. Sure, we can take it-but we have our opinions about the other species too. THEY SAY: Hight school girls are one-sided. Not figuratively, literally. One shoulder and one hip are higher than the other. Why? Because purse, books, and bundles are constantly carried on the same side. The weight spoils a girl's figure, ruins her walk. How to reform? Shift burdens equitably from o11e side to the other. WE SAY: At least the number of girls guilty of poor posture and walk is small.. But the majority of boys are such ungraceful creatures! They apparent- ly think it quite becoming to kick their feet well out in front, doing their awkward best to impress their heels into the Hoor with every step. THEY SAY: Girls' hair is too bushy. It is not shaped to the head. It looks as if it has been cut at home around a bowl, or just hacked off when it got too long. It is frizzy and dull. Girls get a permanent about twice a year, and then forget all about it. WE SAY: Hair-oh yes, that stuff on top of the boys' head is called hair. lt does seem rather a shame that such untidy, bushy, neglected hay should grow down to cover their so beautiful eyes. But some day they'll hear about the great comb and brush invention! s 'Qs' ff' rl K' . . QB 0989 THEY SAY: Girls talk too loud and giggle too much in public places. They travel in gangs. They take possession of wher- ever they are, pushing, crowding, call- ing across defenceless strangers. Their table manners in cafeterias are un- gracious. WE SAY: The majority of us deny being guilty of such childish conduct. If we were, the poor boys would certainly be labelled uncivilized , for they are guilty of all these indictments, plus some. Boys carry things to a point of rudeness-whistling at girls passing by, flirting with waitresses, honking the horn for their dates Cexpecting the girl to come runningj , slouching 'comfortably' rather than rising when we walk into a room. Boys believe we're the luckiest people in the world just being in their charming pany. THEY SAY: Girls are sloppy. They would rath- er cover up than clean up. They wear dirty shoes. baggy sweaters skirts, their hems are uneven, they pile on lipstick. WE SAY: Now they have got our dander up. Isn't it just like a man fthat's what they call themselves? to notice these things i11 us, yet never give their own appearance a thought. Collegiate boys never clean their shoes, press their trousers. file or brush their claws, or carefully knot a tie. Truly, they don't know what the word immaculate means. THEY SAY: Girls use silly adjectives. Every- thing is too darling, adorable, for words. They should learn to speak English. WE SAY: Our darling, adorable boys should also take a course in English. To them every girl is a Hbagy' if Sl16,S glamourous, a drip if she isn't, and a drizzle if she goes steady. Every- thing that pleases their feeble minds is strictly official , good music is hep and a good dancer is a jive cat . When they ask a girl to dance they rudely say, Shoot the chassey to me, chum , or Come on, kid, let's drag . Never mind, boys, we'll all grow up some day. Isn't it queer that We could almost write a book on the faults of the modern Collegiate boys -the most perfect people in the world! COIH- and and Page Forty-one T? A TEE! 7 46 KJ 'S .A 4' an fu if i 6 .-,Jw ' : Senior Rugby This year's Senior Rugby Team was one of the lightest teams Helded by the school in many years. Suf- fering the losses of such stars of last year as Bill Harle, Nels Foster and Ralph Johnston, the seniors battled bravely through the short schedule but succeeded in winning only their first game against Oshawa. The Senior schedule was as fol- lows: Oct. 12-Oshawa at Peterborough. Oct. 19-Peterborough at Bow- manville. Oct. 26-Bowrnanville at Peter- borough. Nov. 2-Peterborough at Oshawa. fCorz.tinued on Page 651 Junior Rugby Mr. David, who so capably coach- ed the Junior Rugby Team last year, again took the helm this season and, although the team was eliminated in their schedule, they put up a game light for their rights. Even if this team did not enter the finals the young lads who received such fine training will in many cases be the mainstay of the senior team in future years. Since there were only three junior teams in the circuit the schedule was much shorter and simpler than in former years, and was as follows: Oct. 5-Peterborough at Lindsay. Oct. 12-Oshawa at Peterborough. Nov. 2-Peterborough at Oshawa. Nov. 9-Lindsay at Peterborough. At Lindsay on October 5th, the junior boys suffered a severe defeat at the hands of the lads of the Scugog area. This team was greatly strength- ened this year due to the fact that Lindsay had no senior team this year and all their attention was centered on the junior squad. With a less lopsided score than the week before the team bowed to the Oshawa lads. Page Forty-two Echoes From The World OF Sport Oshawa and Lindsay were again victorious on the 2nd and 9th of November respectively and the youngsters who had been dogged by bad luck all season resigned to fate without having won a single game. B.A.A. This year very few boys turned up in Mr. Collingwood's room for the annual election of officers for the Boys' Athletic Association which does fine work in creating and stimu- lating an interest in organized sport in the school. From those present the following were elected to hold office: President: Ralph Johnston. Vice-President: Eric Taylor. Secretary: Bill Hamilton. Treasurer: Bill Hall. Mr. L. H. Colingwood again holds the office of Honorary President. Senior Boys' Basketball Once again the Senior Boys' Basketball team has been coached by Mr. Bamforth, who gives so much of his time and energy to the task of leading this team to many successes. Before press date the senior team had played four games of which it had been successful in winning threeg so look for big doings from the group for the remainder of the season. Personnel of this year's team: Bill Hall: This six-footer plays a fast, proncient game at centre and is a main factor in all victories. Eric Taylor: A forward who is always on his toes and knows where the ball is going, and gets there first. Chum Gillespie: A fine player who is always on the job and is of in- valuable aid to the team. Hewitt Amys: Hewitt co-operates very well with his fellow forwards in playing a fine game. Harold M atthews: Another for- ward who helps greatly to round out any forward combination. Doug Moore: Doug is among the tallest and plays a fine game on guard. He can score them too! Jim Ferguson: Another guard who plays a good defensive game and feeds the ball to the right man at the right time. Bob Kay: Bob is a big player who plays a big part in a defense position. Junior Boys' Basketball Mr. H. A. Craig has worked with this team that began with many newcomers and has rounded out a group that he can justly be proud off. The boys have also backed him by turning out to practices and doing their best in practicing the many helpful suggestions given by the coach. George Richardson, that young man who makes announce- ments in morning assembly concern- ing games to be played and the scores of games which have been played, capably captains this year's squad, which-veterans and new- comers alike-is coming into fine form, and from which many good players will be produced for future senior teams. At the time of writing the schedule has not been completed and we wish to let the boys know that they have our full support and best wishes for continued success this season. Those on the team are: George Richardson-centre fcap- tain,J Shorty Newton-right forward. Bill Gardiner-left forward. Stewart Saunders-guard. Tom Lillico-guard. Substitutes: Lloyd Routley, Don- ald MacTa'vish, Jack Dinsdale. Senior Girls' Basketball This year a change was made in the grouping of the girls' teams in this section. Peterborough and Lind- say were in one group, while Bow- manville, Port Hope and Cobourg made up the other group. Under this arrangement our team had two scheduled games with Lind- say. The winner was to be determin- ed by the total number of points. The first game was played in our own gym with a final score of 13-8 in favour of Lindsay. The second game, played in Lindsay, resulted in a score of 14--11 for P.C.V.S. Un- fortunately this left our total num- ber of points two below Lindsay's. Personnel of the team: Guards: Helen Beatty fCaptainl , Agnes Richardson, Shirley Richard- son, Joan Rahmel, Elta Van Allen. Forwards: Frances Merrett, Jean Johnston, Jean Castle, Betty Estlick, Shirley Mortimer. Time-keeper: Helen Miller. Score-keeper: Fern Agnew. Junior Girls' Basketball Track And Field Events For the Hrst time in several years a junior girls' basketball team was entered in the league. Under the able coaching of Miss Brisbin, the junior team did very well considering they had to play a team with much more experience. A large number of girls have come regularly to practices and next year this team should be able to offer some very serious opposition to any team it plays. June Ballard-lCaptainj played forward on our team. She was an ac- curate shot but was forced to resign due to illness, making it necessary to elect a new captain. Janet Collins- fCaptainD Her skill as guard aided our team in many difficult moments. M arion Sutherland - Centre for- ward. She co-operated in every way with her team-mates and is a good shot. Dorothy Frost -- Forward. Al- though short, Dot overcomes this by her speed and ability to handle the ball. Margaret Langley--Guard. lNIarg's height made her a great asset to our team. Ruth Sage-Guard. An efficient guard and always on the alert. Marion Bateson-Forward. Played a good game and was very depend- able. Joan Paterson-Guard. Proved her ability in this position by close check- ing. Viva Clarke-Forward. She played a good, clean game. Margaret F lett-Forward. Made the most of her shooting ability and has proven herself Very capable. Mary F erguson-Forward. She was our score-keeper, but when June Ballard dropped out, Mary took her place. Girls' Athletic Association The election this year for the G.A.A. was a great success due to the interest shown by the number of girls who turned out to vote. Those chosen are as folows: President: Helen Beatty. Vice-President: Eleanor Collins. Secretary: Betty MacBrien. Margaret Mason, as Treasurer, left school quite suddenly but her place was taken by Dorothy Thomas. Later Dorothy entered the business world, leaving the office still unfilled. Field Day Our annual Field Day, which is usually held in October, was post- poned this year until May 14th, for many reasons. For one thing, it always tended to become entangled with rugby practice, for another, the organization of the time-table was still taking place. Also since Grade Niners, who form so large a part of the competing strength, Were, in the fall, still too bewildered to take part. Lastly, since the Port Perry Athletic Meet is held in the Spring, those tak- ing part in it would be in better con- dition. Although storm clouds threatened during the morning of the day of the event the weather cleared sufliciently by noon to permit the adjournment of school for the rest of the day and to allow those who wished to attend to do so without fear of being mired in the mud. The event got under way in good time in the afternoon and Mr. C. S. Browne filled capably his usual post as starter. There were many out- standing performances during the afternoon. Helen Beatty led the Senior Girls by a comfortable margin while Grade Niners, who were given such a chance to shine by the post- ponement until Spring, carried off honours in Intermediate and Junior divisions: Dorothy Kirn and Wenda Jacquith respectively, Doug Quirt was Senior Boys' champion, with Stroyan Leith a close second. Bill Hall won Intermediate laurels while Bruce Embury topped the Junior field. An added attraction was the Girls' Slow Bicycle Race which was run in two heats owing to the large number of entrants. The winners were Doris Glover and Jean Leach. We would like to congratulate the School's four instructors in Scientific Physical Education fknown to many as P.T.J on their eHiorts in making this affair a rousing success. Badminton A large number of girls joined the Badminton Club this year and a great deal of enthusiasm has been shown for this sport. As the gym must be used for Basketball and Badminton on the same night, the Club has been slightly handicapped but with the completion of the basketball schedule we hope to have more and better badminton. Port Perry Athletic Meet On Saturday, May 18, the win- ners of the School Field Day journey- ed to Port Perry to participate in an athletic meet with other schools of this district. Representatives from P.C.V.S. were-Senior boys: Doug Quirt, Don Duncan, Stroyan Leith and Jim Lillico. Intermediates: Ron Horton, Bill Hall, Harold Mather, Bill Greatrix and Bill Gibbs. Juniors: Bob Carley, Bruce Embury, Alan Johnson, Frank Fisher and Bob Lyon. Senior girls: Elfie Saunders and Helen Beatty. On the whole P.C.I. made a very good showing. A few winners were even produced. In the Senior group Jim Lillico won the high jump. The Senior relay team, composed of Gerry Fitzgerald, Doug Quirt, Don Duncan and Stroyan Leith, won the half mile relay. Elfie Saunders won the girls, high jump. The Intermediates were very proficient. especially in the races, of which Bill Hall won the 220 and 440 yard races. The junior relay team of Bob Carley, Bruce Embury, Alan Johnson and Bob Lyon was second in the quarter mile relay. lnterlorm Sports In last year's edition of The Echoes there was an editorial by the man- aging editor of that year, Frank Smoke, which was a plea for inter- form sports. It was stated that P.C.V.S. was far behind other schools in this form of athletic endeavour and that inter-school matches were all very fine for those taking an active part, but merely provided those thronging the side lines with occasional thrills and more than suf- ficient lung exercise. At last, how- ever, boys' interform basketball and volleyball have become a reality and a vast schedule has been drawn up and posted on the bulletin boards. Messrs. H. A. Craig, H. L.

Ma I , 'S' 5, '1 Q X FORM NEWS How To Get Acquainted With V A Several days ago I was asked to write the form news. That isn't very hard as there are so many illustrious people in our form. For example we have Norma Timlin and Hugh Ken- ner, those scholarship winners. Then there is Gamble who heads this year's Students' Council. Scriver led the rugby team and was ably backed by such stalwarts as Gillespie, Moull, Sproule and Hall. Irene Michaud is the gal who an- nounces the Dramatic Club meetings. Sylvia Boorman and Armstrong are in the cast of this year's play, whose handsome hero is Bill Graham. Oh joy! Jean is the president of the school Red Cross group. ltflary Curry, Betsy English, and Powell were on the committee for the soldiers' Christ- mas boxes. A little bird tells me Mary Waite writes poetry! Must be love. Pauline Paterson and Rusty Marshall, our red-heads, lend some colour to our usually dull class-rooms. Those glam- our girls, Mary Strickland and Jeanne Ketcheson, are the belles of all the balls. Scott, Cranford, and Johnson are V A's gift to the ladies. Jessie I-Iaddow has the questionable honour of being half the Greek class! Every morning while Mr. Zavitz is doing the honours at the front of the room, Agnes Richardson, Barb Best, Dorothy Ross, and Greta Huff- man have a cozy little chat at the back of the room. Then there are those strong silent men, Moore and Churcher. Mildred lVIcIntyre is a tclair del lunatic. Pardon me, that was supposed to be funny. Crocker is the lad with the baton. He raises his little stick, says, One, two, three, and we all swing out on that smooth new tune Roamin in the Gloaminf' Carew and Fran Ruskin always get their Algebra. Oh these mathematic- ians! I-low do they do it? Let's see now, V A has tall Miss Nisbet and short Miss Davis. Bruce is the little man who often isn't there. Eleanor Glover, Helen Wellman, and Kath- erine Hendry seem to be the studious type. I guess Aaron Black has an executive mind: he is managing that paper collection business. Last but not least there is Anne O'I.eary who has really simplified that homework problem. She arrives Bricks and Bouquets OF Special Commercial Iris Fitzgerald-always skygazing. Marjorie Tinker-has her ups and downs. Eleanor Rosborough-always up to Parr. Marian Brown-just knows. Betty Whaley - Life's just one big why. Betty Richardson-usually comes Friday to catch up on gossip. Wilma Armstrong-no angel-sprouted wings. Betty Hughes - Who can Turner heart? Helen Hopkins-jeepers creepers, oh what peepers! Evelyn Stevenson-Betty Grable plus. Jean Johnston- deserves a shield 'cause sheis a sweet kid. Audrey Hunter-just a cut-up. Mary Armstrong- Special's Hedy Lamarr. Marg Wood-Joe Bailey's stooge. Shirley Ashby-sbouldnit run so fast. Adele McCarthy-Beat me Daddy eight to the Bar. Elaine Cook-dark eyes! Helen Murphy-and Hazel Dalton are each other's shadow. Mary Riley-just beams. Betty Meigher-canit keep score. Helen Wade-Scrub me Mamma with a Boogie Beat. Eleanor Taylor-She's got rhythm. Velma Thornton-a whiz at rapid cal. Leatha Rowland-shines with Irium. Bill Hamilton-is undertaking a little undertaking. Sammy Andrew-hates to get up. Jean Mann-Hi Ho Silver! Helen Ballard-fairy-tale princess. Marjorie Armstrong-an authority on cooking. Molly 'McCarrell-gets a huge kick out of life! Betty Legitt-just the shy type. Marg. Westbye-creamiest cream of this crop. Jack Dorriss - human book of knowledge. Special Commercial-judge for your- self!!!!!! m at the beginning of last period in the morning. Well we must look into this! The only other way to get really acquainted with our form is to see what a well-behaved class we are just before second bell every morn- ing, I don't think. We Twenty-Five Of V B 'Tis said time and again when pupils reach Fifth Form the wheat is well separated from the chaff-need I say more? QWell, I'm going to.l For, though the wheat of V B is but twenty-five kernels strong, each is well known, and recognized, if only by one characteristic quality. Look for yourself: For instance, there are Earl West- man and Don Sutton who, with Mr. Henry, try to ward off the giggling, chattering and gossiping of their twenty female classmates in Biology. Then there's Frank Hogan, who cer- tainly reads interesting fiction in the study room, and Bud Miller, whose favourite magazine is definitely Esquire. Keith Kidd certainly shoots a mean rifie. Bob Garner is never, never seen idle. VVe have Walter Morrow who's as quiet as a mouse, and John Wray who's even quieter. And last of our nine boys comes Archie Wilson of the rosy cheeks. Helen Beatty stands at the head of her class and is president of the G.A.A. and captain of the Senior Girls' Basketball team besides. Joan lilelton is well known for her sales- manship of war stamps. Betty Barr entertains V B girls in the assembly with her jokes and Eleanor Bigelow is a favourite of ours and Mr. Petit's too! Berta Belleghem leads the line in P.T. and loves Knox College. June Pigeon and Marion Foster are seldom seen apart, while Joy Walker and Doris Hutchinson can always be found giving the latest angles on their respective love affairs. Shirley Richardson is the last to arrive and the last to leave each day - it's so hard getting on those goloshes! Mary Pierce does wonderful Botany draw- ings and sits next to our pet goldfish in the lab. Elta Van Allen and Verna Hope are two who always have that French done 'way ahead of time and Winnifred Hunter is V B's homework bureau. Jean Hamley en- tertains us in French with her original translations and lVIarguerite Walker is noted for her quick wit, which is as nimble as are her fingers when she's knitting. Last of all, we boast Dorothy Clark who uses her study period in writing long letters to that handsome air force man! Yes, V B will be remembered, and don't dare ask what for!! Page Fifty-three SMASH THE DICTATORS WAR SAVINGS yznvf- MHWINGI XII A Ac. Forty-Une Strong VVhat a pleasure it must be to each of XII A's teachers to behold an eager line of pupils, forty-one strong, walk into their rooms. This animation is usually at its peak on blue Monday when our Week-end sports enthusiasts limp in, buy their war stamps, and sit carefully down. Of course, we have the studious type such as Marg. Lawrie and Fran. Belleghem who are then just finish- ing their Latin. Perhaps most often heard of XII A's pupils would be our Did you remember it man, Alden Gour- ley, who has become noticeably thinner since he started spending all noon hour at the telephone. The argumentative powers of John Frank and Harold Matthews make them public hazards to Mr. Zavitz. XII A can boast representation on practically all school activities. Bob Carley is format editor of The Echoes, while Arthur Bunnell is head of the humour section. We have two scholarship winners, Maureen Brown and Norma Elcombe. Davis Graham, besides being on The Echoes staff, is in the school orchestra. Among our form's camera enthusiasts are Jack Thompson and Roger Barrie. COMPLIMENTS Harry Florence Furniture Company 20-1'-206 CHARLOTTE ST. 34- Years in the Furniture By this time you will have seen Barbara Bothwell as the pretty heroine who Stooped To Conquer. Other XII A dramatists are E. Arm- strong, R. Telford, and C. Nicholson. Many of our fair sex are very active in basketball. Fran Merrett, Marion Bateson, Mary Ferguson, and the Boyle sisters are but a few of these. Note to School Board: Jim Fer- guson wants a clock installed in Latin class so that Bob Carley won't have to waken him live times a period to learn how many minutes are left to endure. B. Newman, J. Allen, M. Hall, and B. Cauley beg to differ with the old adage that you can't do two things at one time. They regularly carry on a gossip circle while writing com- positions. Congratulations are due to Chris- tine Carlisle who correctly solved a geometry problem the other day. Since the original purpose of this column was to boost XII A, let me fContinued on Page 665 XII Household Arts Will Open A Drive-In Mildred, Connie, Marg. and Bev. are H. Arts XII. This form is well known. If two stay away on the same day, they are instantly pounced upon and accused of taking in a show. Upon graduating, these young ladies will open a drive-in. Mildred and Cormie manage the food prob- lem, while Marg. and Bev. tend the gas pumps and make repairs on autos that limp in. We are, in spite of the above para- graph, serious fat timesi. Please don't believe any rumours circulating around the school to the effect we are not. VVe all do war work and Business . . . . have extra - curricular activities. - 17 Margaret Gertley.

If Miss Miller got laryngitis, who would do the majority of talk- ing at Misses Skitch's, Putfer's and Miles' lockers. In case she does we'll have Kemp, Morrison, and Gibbs in reserve to help in this respect. Maybe J. Castle will teach us all to play basketball the way she does if we hint long enough, eh Bernice and Vera-who nose? We won the Hag for the sales of Stamps due largely to the grand efforts of Miss Stenton and secondly Williamson. Keep up the good work, and that goes for ye war-working students not mentioned. The Geraghty brothers scarcely notice each other, but who notices the Geraghty boys? Well! Get in- formation from Reta and Helen. Flash! Anyone Wanting help with Latin, approach Misses Prophet and Whatley?? Richardson seems to get a kick out of such remarks as Toss him out or Throw a brick at him from Misses Wooll and Moncrief, whereas Miss Beatty looks back quite shocked. There's something about a soldier! Kindly ask lWIiss Lundy for further details. Could be that if Routley stuck a pin in Green, our top boy, the latter would levez-vous fast. lVIr. Hale asked in English what one would bring to listen to music, meaning appreciation. One bright lass answered Ears! VVho could that be? lifliss Plunkett? No!! Now where shall I put Misses Buckham and Nicholls? You tell me! After taking a squint at the number why so in XII B you'll understand many are left out, but cheer up, End their pictures in this, our magazine.-L. worthy Girl Promoted to Referee XII Commercial The remaining students of Grade XII Commercial disregard the call of industry because they feel they must spend as much time as possible with beloved form teacher, Mr. Shearer. The feeling must be mutual as he keeps all girls who do not know their shorthand after school. Miss Bailey is disgusted with our basketball playing but the periods are enjoyable even though we get prolonged instructions often and a few bruises and black eyes Knot from Miss Baileyj Phyllis hlarshall confuses rugby with basketball much to the distress of her guard, Ruby Harding. The red streak on our team is Fanny Gishman. June Ballard was promoted to referee for one period. After that strenuous game we rest in Economics. Mr. Simmers often finds it hard to get to the room be- fore the boys and to live up to his name, he simmers. We have heard that Rutherford, Patterson, Mason and Metheral have a hard time get- ting Cox up on time and he will not appear before the girls unless' he looks his best. Elsie Johnston shines in law period. Jean Johnston beams in them all. Pat Cox is unaware that we are about to bestow the honour of oiiicial cheerer upper upon her. We wonder where Jean Duignan, our form representative, gets her endless supply of life savers. Phyllis Mc- Clennan, Helen Weston and Bessie Watson are content to let the rest of the world roll by. Ruth Hess is always ready to offer her services whenever called upon. Hannah Flor- ence is Hourishing in maths, but her shorthand is hopeless.-S.H. Jots and Flashes From XI Com. How to achieve my task? A dif- ficult question indeed. The task, by the way, is to enlighten you on the subject of our bewildering form. Boys are generally a safe IU beginning so starting from the top and proceeding down: Wilson is our tall fresh-air fiend. Some day he'll be a hair-dres- ser. He makes half-hearted attempts at dying Shirly lNIortimer's hair a beautiful blue-with ink. Leether is our he-man. Deane Cutmore our glamour boy.

Amazing! But don't be alarmed: it is not on account of poor eyesight. Our form, of minute size at the beginning of the term, has decreased twenty-five per cent. This portion of our class vanished in the person of Jim Brown, who now has a full-time job at his favorite subject, auto mechanics. Since only three of us are left, we hold the record for the School's smallest form. We are: Guido DeCarlo CMr. Wes- ley Brown's right-hand man! . Everett Poast who fiirts - or does he?' and Colin Jack, the camera fiend.-J. A Chat With Xl A Academic If you should be strolling leisurely on the third floor before school on Monday morning, you would see a large crowd collected around the door of the Chemistry lab. If you waited a little longer you would see Mr. Graham elbow his way to the entrance and admit to their form- room what has been referred to as the cream of the third forms , XI A Academic. Our able form representative is Blargaret Flett, while the G.A.A. and B.A.A. are represented by Miss Cathcart and Rod Blackwell. Miss Zavitz supplies delightful music for morning assemblies. Our form has given a good account of itself in school activities. Diplock is a budding rugby star, and Misses Frost and Flett and Dinsdale are on basketball teams. Campbell, Han- bidge, and Diplock are cadet officersg Sellon, Dinsdale, and Florence are signallers, and Foley is taking first- aid work. Blackwell and Forde are in the bugle band. The orchestra is represented by Miss Zavitz and Forde, and the Glee Club by Misses Chase and Zavitz. In the Dramatic Club are Crowe, Hanbidge, and Brown, and the candid camera fiends are Allen, Boyd, Brown, Crowe and Hanbidge. XI A has made a good showing in war work, the majority of the girls being engaged in it. VVell, wonders do occur. Bliss Blaiklock and Fowlie sometimes do arrive on time, and the back row in the French class do pay attention, when Miss Montgomery is sitting there. lllost of us like P.T., but the boys feel that the exercises would be of shorter duration if Mr. Bamforth were doing them himself.-S.B.

We had to walk slowly as Iris Davis was still stiff from P.T, on Friday. Misses Young and Wilson began to laugh and giggle and Muriel Fallen, Beryl Dobbin and Helen Allen followed suit, keeping us all in good spirits. Then Ruth Florence sang I'm An Old Cow-Hand and dedicated it to Mary Chesher. When we reached our destination Misses Stewart, Gurney, Forbes, C rouker, and Sollitt acted as our chefs and set to work getting the grub ready, after Ethelwyn Gileson, Colleen Gilbert, and Eleanor lNIcIlmoyle had gathered firewood. When everyone was served Miriam Parnell spilled her cocoa on Irene Ferguson laughing at a joke told by hlabel VVatkins. After eating we sat around the fire and heard Audrey Britnell, Doris Chenier, and Ruth Maskell telling stories and finally persuaded the smallest girls in the room, Blanche Quinn, Angeline De Carlo and Lucille Doughty to give us an Andrew sisters rendition of Down by the O-hi-O ! Dot Con- stable, Phyllis Cook, Shirley and Margaret Allen had to leave early, because - well, there's something about a soldier!

Adele Fitzgerald and Lyon are brilliant students. VVe have perhaps a future aviator in our midst- Earle Moorehead. Betty Mantell has certainly done her part in the sale of War Savings Stamps.-V.M. X C Academic Successful Form X C has been on the whole, successful this year. The boys were undefeated in basketball though, in spite of Bill Sisson's scoring, the volleyball team lost. Spike lilathews was the cap- tain of the junior football team. Pearl Trethewey, Jack Paterson, Roy Sutcliffe and Jack Taylor play in the orchestra. Our War Savings Campaign, in- spired by Mr. David Brown, has won us the Hag four times in succes- sion, owing to the efforts of Jean Powers, Joan Stenton, and Burton lNIcBride.

We'll begin with Clarke who is subject to brain- storms and sometimes is inspired to write silly poetry. When started he can rhyme it by the yard. We who have felt the effects of Beatty's temper predict a great box- ing future for him. Maybe he'll be heavyweight champion of the world soon. The items needed in IX A are: A handkerchief that won't be blown to threads by Bucknell, a tie that hangs straight on Adams, skirts that would look nice on Craig fsuggested by Mr. Bamforthj, and a brain to replace Ashby's over-worked one. Let's look into B. Braund's matter, taking so much time in Math. period having private lessons. Grace Brunet's brown locks draw great attention at times. The class is buying a loud speaker for Gwen Abbott for answering in class. We notice that Kay Armstrong has an escort home from school every day. If N. Barr and M. Adams don't stop giggling so often, they'll be in Dutch. fC'07ltiIZ2l6Cl rm Page 661 IX B, The Gum Chewing Form IX B opens each day chewing gum supplied by lIr. Ted Chalmers.

The romance between M. Corbett and a tall young man in IX A is in full bloom. B. Combe, the hairdresser, gets great fun out of trying to rule Can- adian waves. When B.

There, seven seats back and one row across is Lenore Fleetwood ad- miring the latest shade of nail-polish on her tapering nails. Ah! here is itlarian Collins. She is captain of our volley-ball team who batted their way to fame, fortune, and the Junior Championship Pen- nant which is tacked over our form room door. Hurle is the form cherub.

We would do well on a farm with Phyllis McKee, Daisy Magee, Merle Moncrief, Jean Blasters, C. Pavy, and T. lililburn. Why does Frances La Vallee hook her arm over the back of her seat in room 39? Could it be to see D. P. better? If it weren't for lilary King, S. hloore, and D. Patter, the history questions might not get answered. L. Outram, R. lilenzies, and L.

IX G Has Champion Tree Climber We have in our form a number of people with the same name. There are the Reids, Richardsons, Robin- sons, and the Moores. The Richard- son clan consists of Sheldon, Morris, and VVilfred, with lNIorris as the champion tree climber. The class has agreed that the orchestra would be much better off if someone would kindly throw a bone to Henry Rob- inson and Ruth Poulsom. Joe Rob- inson has been taking a series of nosedives lately and we're wondering whether it's because he is joining the air school or whether he's still fas- cinated with Joyce NlcDougall. We have seriously thought of buying a microphone for Hilda Noble because if she spoke louder Clara Ruskin might get past the third line of her poem. Teresa O'Toole and Jack Rus- selle have had their fortunes told, that is they will never be good writ- ers if they keep using fountain pens. Rush, Quigley, Pepe, Doreen Naples, and Jeanne McCulloch might get along better if they brought their books. Miss Pollard, Miss Russell and Miss Oakley have not been men- tioned as we always save the best till the last. Bill Rayner and Dorothy Moore have been getting an eyefull of each other and lately we don't know what to expect. IX H Newsettes Cliff fShortyJ Roydhouse, our little English chap, wishes he were a little higher so that the taller students of IX H would be more careful of the nicknames they call him. Stewart Sage, our blonde brain- storm, does well to keep in front of Miss Shaughnessy in the exam marks. Next in line are Miss Robin- son and Miss Shirley. Other bright students are G. Thexton, the Misses Simmonds, Stevens, Sheppard and the two Thompsons, also the two Bliss Smiths, the two Stewarts, and those two bright Telford lads. Our future Professor of Science, Edward G. Sharp, needs to be put gently under a c-c-cold shower to wake him these mornings in time for school. ' Our man-killers and heart breakers are Bliss Rea and Miss Stephenson. Bliss Scott tries vainly to tell lVIiss Sloane a good joke through the day. Gordon fSpookI Scriver needs a Math. book to help him answer the riddles Mr. David puts to him, Sel- kirk sure is a whizz with his hands. Jim Shields and Bill Shadgett are always joking and getting caught. Second year Sullivan will soon have his title changed to third year if he is not careful.

Shirley Whittaker, our VVar Guest, chats with the blondes, B. Victor, J. Towle, and I. Weaver, and the brunettes, V. VVhitmore, J. Welsh, B. Wilson, and BI. Hartley-VVight. Roma Williamson sits on her foot as she talks to V. Sills, I. Stormes, M. W'atson, and the redheads, Thomp- son and Young. Two of the boys, Whittaker and Watson, are talking and laughing while Lloyd VVoodcock tells them to be quiet or they will waken Trude who is sleeping peacefully. Wilson chews gum and keeps a watchful eye on the girls. VVoodcock and Welch are reclining in their seats trying to get the odd forty winks.

Page Sixty-one EXCHANGE 1l1. ll.ll11l--1v- This department forms a very im- portant part of our school magazine. From the year books of High Schools with which we exchange we derive many suggestions which prove to be invaluable to the editors of various sections of the magazine. We profit from the criticisms and comments on our magazine, which are sent to us from the various exchange editors, and the editions which accompany their letters have been a constant source of amusement and informa- tion to our entire staff. We would like to congratulate the students who issue the various school magazines we receive, especially those of the smaller publications of which we would mention the Tatler from Lindsay and the Peptimist from Mimico. This year we received a new exchange from the South African College School in Cape Town and found the literary sec- tion of this fine little book to be ex- cellent. Among the exchanges from larger schools we wish to refer to the Oakwood Oracle, Lux Glebana, and Vulcan, which are well organized throughout. In Answer The torch from failing hands we take, It burns-we hold it high. The Dead shall sleep in Flanders' fields, For we their foes defy. Long years have passed since last they fought, And now our turn has come. For twenty years we've lived and grown, Now we defend our home. Our Motherland is now at warg She fights for life that's free. They try her might, they test her right To freedom of the sea. We'll fight as they did years agog Our homeland we will save. Our enemies we will destroy, Or follow to the grave. And to each man who lies in France Beneath a wooden cross, Our answer comes: we'll take the torch As you did once for us. Tech Tatler.

Seven Ages All the school's a jest, And all the pupils in it merely pup- pets: They have their good times and they have their badg And each one in his time has mostly bad, The trouble being work. At first a green-horn, Blissfully ignorant of it all, with hopes, And homework beautifully done, run- ning like a rabbit Eagerly to school. And then to Second, Sighing like furnace, 'cause it's mostly YVOC. And ever getting worse. Then a third former, Full of strange symbols of Algebra and Greek, Jealous in contest? Sudden and quick to answer? Not so you'd noticeg but seeking out some fun Even among Caesar's wars. And then to Fourth, With secret hopes to rule the place- but no, With eyes severe, a man of loftier grade, Full of wise-cracks and modern dia- lect, Is watching him. It is the Fifth, The power and the pride of all the school, With lofty words he seeks to make them quake, His youthful marks well saved, a world too high For his shrunk standards: and his eager treble Turning at last to bored and manly drawl, Forever whistling in the class. Last scene of all That ends this tedious time of tor- ture is Repeating fifth again for his third time, Sans work, sans books, sans hope, sans everything but spares. The Magnet.

It was his last chance to pass, and he required every possible mark. How he wished that he had worked hard- er through the year! VVhy had he not studied during the past two weeks? Last night? It would not have been too late. But now, as he read the questions through, he realized with a. sinking heart that failure was inevitable. He sat there, unprepared, unable to answer, while all around him the other pupils wrote diligently. The boyfs paper at his left lay temptingly exposed to his sight. Would he weakly yield to the temptation and copy from it? Or, would he nobly refuse to be dishon- est? He knew that he ought to choose the latter course, but by the former it would be so easy to get the in- formation he desired. Indecision was written on his face as he sat struggling with temptation. At last, however, he straightened up. His undecided expression gave way to one of strength and decision. One could see that he had chosen the Hens Wha Hae Ye hens wha ha'e aforetime laid Eggs o' super poultry grade, Hasten to your country's aid, Lay for liberty!

So why shouldn't everyone be hep, swing out, cut a rug in true collegiate style. Junior And Senior Gym Party And we did the Cokio Okie and we did the Cokie Okie, that's what it's all about-almost. I say almost be- cause the introduction of this dance at the gym party was merely the be- ginning of' the fun. Everyone joined in a sing-song led by Gwen Bond which ended up in a lung contest. We danced, Cin no graceful manner, but rather in Little Harlem jitterbug stylel , did gym stunts, and carried on in general 'till the food appeared- steaming hot-dogs and luscious honey- dips. And how we ate! Skating Party Round and round you go, but where you stop you never know- until you find yourself at the bottom of a pile-up in one corner of the rink. Once more our annual skating party was a terrific success fand I really mean terrificj. It was as much fun and twice as dangerous as any rugby game. Imagine the thrill of jumping over a helpless skater who had been sucked down by the strong under current, missing him by a hair's breadth, and realizing later Conly when you see the unfortunate soul being carried ofij that you had been too generous in your judge of dis- tance. All's fair in love and skating. Manufactured By A. Wander Limited A youngster tBill Kempj who was in the habit of saying aint for isn't', was reproved by hir. Hale.

Senior Rugby tConfinued from Page .525 In the opening game with Oshawa the Bamforth Battlers began well and continued so, gaining fifteen points while Oshawa scored none at all. The following week the Rubber- town team came out victorious in a very disheartening game on their home field. The local boys had little encouragement as there were no niore than a dozen local representa- tiyes and Poo Hamilton suffered a leg injury. For the Hrst time for years the P.C.V.S. Seniors were not in the finals, being eliminated at Riverside Park by Bowmanville, the reasons being: superior weight of Bowman- yille: hard luck, and, as the week before, a player named Brown. Finally on November 2nd, the boys again suffered defeat at the hands of the Oshawa team, although the result made no difference to the chances of Mr. Bamforth's team.
