editorial on 1x1osT OF Vs it is generally agreed that this year, from the opening whistle of the first foot-ball game to the closing of the final banquet, has been a good year. Sometimes the going was tough and the waters turbulent but the year's sum indicates that these spots are but faint imprints on an otherwise near per- feet-canvas. There were no hot bones of contention between students and staff or be- tween student and student with thc exception of a misunderstanding concern- ing the question of supremacy between the student body and the school com- mittee, a dead lock from which the committee emerged victorious. Student supervised studies were instituted shortly before Christmas. The manner in which this mode of dccorum was administered by the committee and the gracious acceptance of it by the students has proved the soundness of this scheme. It is to be hoped that next year we will not revert back to the old grade school-method necessitating masters in every corridor, for this application plac- es undue and unneccessary strain upon both the staff and the students. The productions of the Drama Club under Mr. F. D. L. Stewart, and the tilee Club directed by Mr. Digby Peers, both of which were very well received added considerably to the success of the year. In all sports activities with the exception of basketball the Blue and Silver more than held its own. The foot- ball team in particular calls for special notice in an undefeated, untied season. Every student who has passed through Pickering 's Portals this year has learned a little about lifeg some have learnt a great deal, both positive and nega- tiveg many new friendships that time will temper have been formed. It has been a good year, and the heights to which many of its graduates will rise will bear out that it has been a successful one. ffiglzl

solved using- old standby methods employed by past eommittees. The new prob- lems had more to do with the IlllSl1I1d61'Sf31ldlIl,2' by some members of the student body ot' some ot' the eommit.tee's functions and the authority with which they fulfill these funetions. Admittedly, the eommittee did not perform many of their t'unc-tions in a purely democratic- way but rather could be justly aeeused of op- erating' under the rule of a. diluted demoeraey, but, as we may all realize, there eomes a time in any government when eertain decisions are better made by the eleeted representatives than by the electorate. Such was the ease this year and although some doubt arose in the minds of many c-oneernin,f1 the eommittee's extension of power l think everyone will have to agree, in view of the results otf our deeisions, that in these instanees the C'OUlIIlltt0CiS opinions were more prac- tieal than those of the student body and in these eases the ends have justified the means. Onee again the eommittee headed up ehapel for two weekends and it was the general opinion that they upheld a fine tradition with sueeess giving some interesting' material for thought to those who heard them. -JIM BIACLEAN The Anna Ilelugin Melnorial Prizes Hi: FIRST xv1NNEHs of the Anna Belugin Memorial Prizes are Daniel Goldstiek and James Murray. These prizes, which took the form of WiHSt0ll Uhurehill's reeent book UThe Birth of Britain were given by Mr. A. N. Belugin ot' Newmarket in memory of his wife to those students who had excelled in thoug'htt'ul seholarship. Both Mr. and Mrs. Belugin had shown marked interest in our sehool and we are happy to have sueh a prize awarded in her name. Our thanks to Mr. Belugrin and our eongratulations to this year's winners.
