106 -Til-IE COLLEGIATE assume charge as Editor-in-chief next year. As secretary he has been prominent in the activities of his year Arts '.27. I have been con- tent to confine my energies to the Union House Committee, my year Basketball Team, the affairs of the Theological College to which I be- long and the activities of 1ny year Arts '.26. In the list of the '24 arrivals there are four men and one single co-ed. XYe admire the pluck of the young lady but, of course, we have always known Agnes Depew as a girl of great fortitude! She is in the School of Physical Education and featured on the Hockey Team and other activities of that school. Stan- ley Crompton is among the boys and has been active in the affairs of his year, Commerce 228. Fred Gus Pugh, also in Commerce, is listed among the number of the Senior Rugby Squad. Bruce Spears, too, made a fine showing in Senior Rug- by. XVe also find him on the Daily Staff and active in his year, Com- merce '28. johnson Kirby, who spent last year at Ann Arbor has come to us and is now in Second Year Arts preparing to proceed to medicine. It is worth noting, I think, that two organizations, the McGill Un- ion and the Daily are practically run by men of the S.C.I. Alumni, while on two major teams our dear old school is well represented. I should like to go on tospeak of the University and its many ad- vantages, of the city, the people and a thousand other thoughts which crowd into my mind but neither time nor space permit. Also, I call to mind the fact that Ted Newton gave you some valuable information along these lines in his letter two years ago. In this same letter he spoke of the McGill S.C.I. Alumni Association. Now we boast of members other than the officers and desire it to be known that, though not violently active, we are very far from being extinct! But now I must close. There is no need to add a final exhortation to S.C.I. Students. Believe me, I speak for the whole McGill Alumni when I express unshakeable faith in the ability and the determination of the present student body to make S.C.I. and T.S. famed abroad not solely for athletics, not solely for high academic standards, but, first and foremost of all, as an institution which produces REAL men, REAL women, REAL Canadians! VVishing this year's Collegiate every success, I am, Yours very sincerely, R.

THE COLLEGIATE I05 Dorothy Stratton is at home this year. Margaret Gibson is working for Mr. Davies. McGill University, Montreal, Quebec. Dear Collegiate:- It is not without a keen sense of the fact that I am no longer one among you but only one of the Alumni one of the has-beens, that I begin to write this letter. Neither am I insensible to the honour which is mine but, rather, deeply appre- ciative, for, anything that I may be asked to do for Sarnia Collegiate is a source of real joy to me. It makes one feel that, though he is absent in body, yet to some small extent his spirit lives on in the minds of the friends he made in the classroom and the Assembly Hall or on the athletic field. I have now a new Alma Mater to love and revere but it can never replace dear old S.C.I. or the newer S.C.I. and T.S. It can at best supplement them. I ask pardon for mentioning the old school particularly but it was, as it were, my first amour' and many who are here at McGill have known no other. The new school is, as it should be, a great monument to Progress, to the on-fiowing stream of Time and Change and New Op- portunity, and, as such, it must build up for itself an independent spirit and tradition. And, after all, who is it who shall determine whether it shall be an enviable tra- dition or otherwise? Is it not those who are students during the infancy of the school? But, there, I must be about my task! Collegiate readers want to know something about the Alumni at McGill not the reminiscences of one of them. The number of that body is annually growing and now we stand at the worthy level of thirteen bona fide members. Un- lucky thirteen do you say? May the activities of the men of our per- sonnel be allowed to speak for them- selves! No account would be satisfactory without john Allen, a graduate of some years past, at the head. john has now risen to the enviable posi- tion of Demonstrator in Physics in the University. Ted Newton is, of course, as busy dashing around as he was in the days when he was editor of the Collegiate He has carried his journalistic endeavours into the sphere of the McGill Daily. This year he is Managing Editor and next year will take up the reins as president of the Daily staff. The Presidency of the Union House is another position which he holds this year. IYe have the good news late- ly that he has been awarded a Fel- lowship and that. in view of this, he will continue his stay at McGill next year as Assistant in the English Department while taking his MA. work. XYalter Potter is Assign- ment Editor of the Daily and during the year he did good work on the Commerce Rugby Team. He gets his Bachelor of Commerce Degree this spring. Ross Harkness an- other Commerce man, has been raised to the ofhce of Night Editor of the Daily for next year. Among those who came down in '23 are Eddie Hanna, Ross Hayes, Miles Gordon and your humble ser- vant. Eddie made a name for him- self as the star half-back of the Senior Rugby Squad. As Vice-Pre- sident we find him active in the work of the Commercial Society. He also took part in the McGill Red and XVhite Review and in the Que- bec Indoor Track Championship at both of which he made a line show- ing. Buzz, also in Commerce, was probably the most promising de- fence man on the Senior Hockey Team and did some valuable work for McGill on the Golf Course, As Commerce Representative on the Union House Committee he was in close touch with the activities of that body. Miles, who is a Night Editor of the Daily this year, will
