Voa: Fluminis JANE BULL GAIL GRAHAM Qur Head Girl Jane Bull, who has been Head Girl of Riverbend for the year 1944-45, came to us from Robert H. Smith School in 1943. Sports are her chief interest and she is a member of both the volleyball and basketball teams. She enjoys riding, bowling, swim- ming, and tennis, as well. She is privileged to call herself a Glamazon for she is six feet tall, and insists that she is still growing. When questioned as to her favourite pastime she replied, Washing test-'tubes in Chem Lab , but she finds time for dramatics also! Since English is her preferred sub- ject she intends to be a journalist, and plans to begin her course in Arts at the University next fall. Jane has filled the position of Head Girl ably and ener- getically and we know that whatever she does in future years will be characterized by the same efficiency, good judgment, and fair play that she has shown here. She may be sure that the best wishes of all of us go with her. Our Sports Captain Gail Graham, who started her Riverbend career as far back as kindergarten, was this year elected School Sports Captain, and has continued to prove her capabilities which she showed last year as Sports Captain of Garry Hall. She has had seven letters, beginning in Grade IV with one for swim- ming, and has received an A each year since Grade IX. She is a valuable asset to our volleyball and basketball teams and takes an active part in all sports activities. She enjoys apparatus and gymnas- tics in particular but admits that swimming is her favourite. 'Her ambition is to be a nurse and toward its fulfilment she hopes to take Grade XII next year and then possibly to start her training in Toronto. We will long remember Gail's all-round sportsmanship and we wish her the very best of luck in all that she undertakes in the future.

Vox Flumznzs 1 1 .Un illllvmurinm illranklin Briana ilnnarnvlt Birh April 12111, 1545 A MAN,- GREAT IN SPIRIT, IN MIND AND IN HEART. President Roosevelt is dead. With these few, simple words the stunned world died too, for a moment, and all hope of victory and peace, the everlasting kind of peace he gave his life for, seemed doomed. We felt we had lost not only one of the greatest men the world has known, ibut even above that, that we had lost a very human, sincere, personal friend, my father as Walt Whitman had said. He was the living symbol of courage, courage beyond all doubt, courage even beyond all understanding. He knew what his ideals were, and he did not stray from the path of those ideals even when faced by many hating and bitter enemies. He .brought America from the grip of depression, and the confused, despairing country she was in 1933, to the great in- dustrial country she is now, and he showed her how to shoulder world responsibilitiesg yet while doing so he held her together. He could notl walk, he could not even stand for long periods, yet how much more courage he ha-d, and how much more he accomplished in his lifetime than do scores of men who are able to both walk and stand. Even in this war's darkest hours the crippled figure never lost his nerve, but strove on and on to bring America to greater heights, and to master his nation as he had mastered himself. Roosevelt was also essentially a great humanist. There are few men today, even the most common men, who are not felt by some to be superior. But here was a man, a great leader of great people, who made even the most humble feel like men beside him. The dead presidents political genius was taken for granted by far too many of us, as well as Americans. Had it not been for his insight and determination to fight in spite of much opposition of some of his people, the United States would have had no implements of war made when Pearl Harbour came, and we would not .be within sight of victory now. We all looked up in faith, hope and trust to President Roosevelt. and now Americans and we too will have to take more responsibility. We will have to stand on our feet, and watch more closely all events that directly or indirectly affect us, more than ever before. Roosevelt was a man of great strength that outlives any bodily strength. Part of his greatness lies in the fact he was able to give his strength to others, and they were able to sense his great power and still not feel inferior to him. He can never be replaced, but there is no turning back, and his work must and will go on. It is our task to see that it is done and done as he would wish. President Roosevelt is dead, but President Roosevelt did live. Thank God. JANE BULL
