The Voyageur M dqaae -George McGowan. ND AS MAN. bent and curbed, stumbled through the darkness which had so long enveloped him, his body cried out, saying, '4Whe11 shall I rise erect again? . . . How long must l endure this painful mistfw . . . And man waited for an answer: but he was alone, save for the shadows of crumbled empires-And still he waited,-until out of the infinite blackness he heard the whisper of Hope. And the whisper grew and became more distinct and as man listened, he heard the voice of Hope say, 46Press ,on, have faith that out of darkness shall come light . . . And man was reassured and stumbled on once more. And he groped his way past the ruined shades and crawled over the rocky paths till he was tired and could go on no longer. And he stopped and said to himself, 4'Why should l continue on? The way is too diflicult and the end too far. -And again the voice of Hope echoed from the shadows, 4'Press on, the black minute is almost at an endf, And again man was given new strength, and he raised himself and crawled on, and on-but he was, very tired. And as he was about to fall in despair, he looked ahead and beheld a gleam of light erasing the darkness, and he forced himself on until he stood bathed in the glory and he re- joiced in its brightness. And as he wondered whether he should' now go, he looked and saw two roads opening before him. One was broad and smooth and man was glad that he had found an easy path. And the other was rough and steep, and man turned from it .... But as he prepared to go down the easy road, he heard a faint whisper calling his name. And as he strained to hear, he heard the voice of Hope cry out once more, uYou stand at the crossroads. Consider well ere you depart, lest you return from whence you come. . . . And the voice of Hope faded into the darkness. . . . And as man pondered these words, he looked down the smooth road, and far off he perceived that it twisted back onto the path he had just followed. And the memory of the rending toil and agony of that journey returned to his troubled heart .... And he turned from the smooth road and began the long ascent up the rocky trail. towards the day when he would walk erect again, in peace and in freedom ...... 26

The Voyageur lVal'e4 an Pea! ana! Such Our Headmaster has finally been persuaded to take a holiday, and for the first summer in eight years will not be found in his office. The organiza- tion and administration of the school during the war years has required his very close attention at all times. We are all indebted to him for the job he has done, and wish him a happy, well-deserved vacation. ln his absence, Harry M. Beer will be the Acting Headmaster. N 96 N' 96 ESSRS. Rourke, Blackstock, Jackman, lde, Lanier and Mackenzie are transferring their interest from school to camp, and can all be located at Camp Mazinaw, Cloyne, RR. 1, Ont., during the summer. A number of students are also at the camp as campers or counsellors. We know that with such a group in attendance and in charge of the camp that it cannot help but be a wonderful summer. 96 95 +5 EC- During the Week of June 17th to 22nd the Associate Headmaster, Mr. Rourke, attended a meeting of the Mathematical Congress in Montreal. Mathematicians were present from all over Canada and the United States. From all accounts we gather that R.E.K.R. put in a real plug for the im- portance of secondary school mathematics! I' 'IE 6? -B5 The Canadian Physical Education Association met in Winnipeg in November. Our Director of Health and Physical Education, who has edited wfhe Bulletini' of the Association for nine years, was very much in evidence after he arrived. Wle understand he spent two enjoyable days at North Bay where his plane was grounded. The Headmaster, also, had travelling difliculties both going and coming, but managed to arrive in time to address the Conference at its closing session on Saturday afternoon. We understand that the subsequent three days were spent enjoyably in Winnipeg, although we have not received any detailed account. Apparently the Hrst week in November is no time to save time by air transportation! -55 95 95 The school is grateful for the contribution made to our community life during the past year by Mr. Penner and Mr. Russell. Mr. Penner is re- turning to teaching in his beloved West Country. Mr. Russell will continue individual and person activities in the field of commercial education. Mr. George Ross, who has been with us for the past two years, is hoping to resume his interrupted graduate course this autumn. To all of these three we say many thanks, and best wishes for the future. JA- W 9? 6? We welcome to our staff this year Mrs. H. Mundell as our school nurse. We are glad to know that she will be returning this autumn. 27
