THE VOTAGEUR 25 ,dk 3 I x.,4:s. Chapel . D. G. Ku., THE SCHOOL THIS YEAR has been extremely lucky in having as outside speakers, many distinguished persons. On behalf of the Federation for Community Service, Mr. Alex. Bentley laid before the school the aims and method of operation of the Federation. Like' Wise, Dr. Gordon Bates described the work and objects of the organization he represented,-the Canadian Social Hygiene Council. As there are many Americans in the school, it was fitting to have had a visit from Mr. Emil Sauer, U. S. ConsulfGeneral in Toronto, He reminded everyone of the neighborly feeling between the two countries, and hoped it would ever be so. Capt. E. A. Baker, O. B. E., Secretary of the Canadian Institute for the Blind, and Mr. Bill Watson, related their personal experiences, and showed vvhal could be done with determination. Of somewhat similar character was the talk by Mr. Kelso, prominent social reformer, who related many interesting events in his life as a Horatio Alger hero. Mr. Fred. Haines, of the Toronto Art Gallery, gave an illustrated address on Canadian and other painting. Mr. A. A. MacLeod representing the League Against War and Fascism, spoke upon this subject. Dr. C. A. Myers gave a very interesting address upon the Hidden Treasures of Life. The highlight of the year came with the address of Harry Red Foster. famous in the world of sport. He stressed the importance of sportsmanship and teamfplay. Mr. M. A. Sorsoleil, Deputy lvlinister of Public Vxfelfare, spoke of the great work being done by that department. Judge H. S.

He laughed, An old man indeed! with his pipe cold and his foolishly sentimental dreams f f - f Suddenly he started, the skin of his knuckles stretched white where his fingers gripped the arm of his chair. The warm air was haunted by a scent of jasf mine and near the open door, at the spot where his staring gaze met the car' pet, lay a -rose. , I -Ti ,TA .V ALA if v 'A . N.

'1'i'Ri-'Vs Garrett Award THE SifNioR Srunmirs this year voted Fred Turfus as the recipient of the Garf rett Cane, and thus selected him as the school's most representative boy. This choice was very popular among the other members of the school, as Fred has, in his two years' stay here, not only taken part eagerly in athletics, but has shown himself a capable and hardfworking stu' dent, and a conscientious and depcntlf able leader of the student government. To Fred, as he journeys on to other fields, go our best wishes for success. Farm Scholarship Mr. Rogers, Chairman of the Board, announces the inauguration of a special scholarship, known as the A. S. Rogers' Farm Scholarship. This will be award' ed annually to a student, normally resif dent on a Canadian farm and who has completed successfully his Ontario jun' ior Matriculation examination, or the equivalent. The scholarship has a value of 3550.00 per year. :if PIC els Work on the Farm The past year has seen much progf ress on the School Farm. Perhaps most evident to us have been the efforts of Mr. King to relate the Farm with the School, and to create a feeling of un- derstanding among the students. Noteworthy also, has been the im' provement in the School grounds. A beginning has been made to an 'extenf sive perennial border between the rink and workshop, and hundreds of young evergreens planted, which in a very few years should make an impressive showing. Featuring Clothes This issue of the Voyageur has been supported by many members of clothing establishments. We trust, that in reading through the pages you will note with interest their cofoperation, and whenever it is at all possible to govern your clothing purchases accord' ingly.
