However, it should also FLORENCE MARION BROWN be thought of as the m-onth osf graduation. Ifn the lattier respect, June of IQZQ was one of the most outstanding months our schoolhas y-et seen. It may not have been t'he liargest graduating class, but it is indisputalble when we say that it was one of the most successful. Four members of the class did honour to t-he school by winning six scholarships. . . . When considering the graduating class of last year there is a factor that stanlds out, beckoning for our attentifon.The-re were twelve boys in this class who either played senior rugby or were affiliated with t'he team. Others were either on the basketfball team, rifle team, hockey team, or some other activity. Of the twelve rugby players in their 'final year, twelve of them were successful, while one of them was awarded two sfchiolarships. They set an example for us ,to follow. We cannot allow our activities to dwin-dle away, but at the same time, we must keep our academic standing. The graduates of ,ZQ did it, so must the graduating classels of '30, and all suioce-eding years. BESSIE MARION CHOWEN It is not duck -or Chlance or pull or influence-wt is ability.

98 TI-IE COLLEGIATE New friends, new activities, and the new sensation of self-responsibility certainly have their effect. But in spite of these, tfhere are times wh-en one deflights to hearken back an-d re- call the years spent in the old school. It really takes a year of absence' to bring home the factthat the Sarnia Collegiate isn't such a bad old place after all . ' After all, school life is just what you make it yourself. You don't have to be a mlemlber of the rugby team or one of th'e magazine staff to really play a part in the activities of the school. .Many fail to realize that an enthusiastic supporter is helping the cause as well as the particioator. But it se-eims that only a smalfl percentage are willing to be the supporters. The rest migrate into a clique whose purpose seems to be to rap rather than boost . These indiividuals do- not enjoy high school lrife. Their everlasting wail throughout the five years is: We never get a c'han-ce. Right now,'le't me say that every student starts in the first year with equal standing. It is the one wrho is willing to shoul- der some responslibili-ty and take a little interest in school activities, that forges ahead. I I suppose if I were to repeat any of the time-worn paternal comments that have been repeated in this col- umn year after' year, my 'words would immediately give rise to that slang expression - The same old line. Nevertheless, I w-ish I had seriously considered so-me of the fatherly advice given by graduates in previous years. ' The words of that same old line t consisted of Learn .to work for yourself. It takes only a week of university to bring home the truth of that state- ment. Consequen'tly,' if I may be permitted -to repeat that statement, and by chance one pe-rson may take it to heart, this letter has been a successg otherwise, the only place worthy of it is tfhe waslte basket. One year at college has been in- deed a wonderful experience.. Un- fortunat1ely,'I have failed to see any in-dication of college life -a-s depicted by George Lewis in the Colleg- ians . I must say I was disappoint- ed fsarcasmj. My only advice to anyone considering coming to Tor- onto, is that the best faculty on the camrpus is the one and -only S.P.S. Many people will oppose this state- ment, burt they are, prob-ably, only Arts students wfho don't. know any better. p With beslt wishes for t'he succe-ss of the Collegiate , Yours very truly, Norman I. Paterson. VVith the commencement of each new school year some two hundred freshies enter into the Sarnia C-ollegiate to fill the seats that Jim Jones and Sam Smith used to- sit in. There are, of course, new teachers on the staff each year to fill in the vacancies. This year is no exception. To The Teachers! I Those of us who are back for our second year or more often think with fonld remembrances of the five members of last year's staff who have severewd the-ir connections with our school: They did so, however, as they thought, for their own goo-d. So to those teachers we'll say- . Here's health and weal-th and hap-pinessf?
