The Voyageur Messrs. Beer, Mosey. and Benzius find it extremely difficult to pry themselves loose from the College campus. This triumvirate will hold the fort in the absence of the Headmaster.

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

This year was a happy one both for the students and for the Committee.
