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
